[music]
[narrator] Then.
Now.
Forever.
Together.
[music continues]
[music stops]
Seriously, Tank.
We have to get in there and take our spot as host of the Great American Bash.
I mean, This is going to change the face of NXT.
Hank.
This is going to change the face of the world.
Godly.
Let's bring the electricity.
-[suspense music] -[heavy breathing]
[music]
Security bypass.
Who would ever be security here?
Oh, no, Hank, the firewall.
No, Tank. That's my wall.
Oh, no, Hank. The firewall!
Do it.
[siren goes off]
[music]
[Hank] We blew all of the fuses. Let's move.
[Tank] That's because no hosts before us have ever been this magnetic, Hanky.
[Hank] I found the backup. Go, go, go, go!
[Tank] Hank. Hank.
Hank, I see it.
I see it, Hank.
Hank!
It's time for the Great American Bash.
Yes!
[Victor] The power is on and the summer tradition has arrived.
A historical event begins with a two-week special here on SyFy.
And tonight, it's week one for of the Great American Bash.
Not one, not two,
but Booker, we have three championship matches
here tonight, live on the Great American Bash.
And none bigger than the main event.
There you see our women's champion, who arrived earlier today.
Looking for respect.
Will she earn it in the main event against Thea Hail?
And the family has arrived, along with the Dunne,
who is all business tonight,
with this Heritage Cup on the line, against Tavion Heights.
That matchup takes place later tonight as well, and not to be outdone.
This superstar arrives.
The massive north American Champion, Owa Femi.
It's time to start the Great American Bash.
[crowd cheering]
[Victor] And we're kicking things off
with the first of three championship matches here tonight.
And you won't miss a second of in-ring action here tonight, on SyFy.
But I wanna get to this matchup, Book.
You're all smile, you see Lash Legend, you see Jakara Jackson.
They are looking to take the WWE Women Tag Team titles to a new galaxy.
[Booker] Please, [indistinct], could you let me have my moment for a second?
Could you please do that?
We have something special here, because we are here, man.
The Great American Bash [indistinct]
Look at the kiddo. A little piece of the action here tonight.
Love it, man.
[Victor] You're fired up.
[music]
[Victor] While we talk about action, the champions, quite the unholy union.
[Booker] Yes, Victor. Twin demons of destruction, man.
I'm gonna tell you. The first time I saw these two, it was destined.
It was destined for them to be together.
And now, holding all the gold, baby.
Yes.
[Victor] It was last week that the challengers issued the challenge.
And it didn't take long for the champions to respond on social media.
The NXT Universe, on their feet.
[Booker] What a call out, Vic.
What a call out.
Yeah.
[Victor] We'll touch on this in a moment.
But whoever wins tonight is gonna have a very busy week ahead
when it comes to those tag team titles.
[Booker] It's all about the champ, you want to grind, man.
It's the toughness position in this business [indistinct]
[bell ringing]
[male announcer] The following contest, scheduled for one fall,
is for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
Introducing the challengers,
representing Meta 4,
Last Legend and Jakara Jackson.
[Booker] Huh-uh.
Big mistake.
Big mistake right there.
[indistinct]
Holly, use it.
[Victor] Well, certainly, taking advantage.
when you talk about Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson,
they called out the champions.
Champions weren't happy about it.
And it didn't take long for the champions to take advantage of this situation.
[Booker] [indistinct]
Oh.
[Victor] And right now, the champions are wiping out the power of Meta 4.
We haven't even begun to bail yet. This matchup hasn't even begun.
[Booker] [indistinct] about tag team tandem, Vic.
This is big.
-[Victor] [indistinct] -[Booker] Wow!
[Booker] Jakara dropped a still one for a second.
[Victor] Ora Mensah is on the outside,
and he's gotta be telling Jakara right now, "you're in it alone."
Lash Legend was taken out, she was isolated.
Nice cord buster from Fyre, and then Dunne following up.
Champions advantage into the cover and another kickout
as we try to settle back down after that hot start here
to the Great American Bash
And Booker, I wanted to say, what are the chances we see new champions crowned?
They are looking good right now.
[Booker] Let me tell you something. Isla Dunne and Alba Fyre right now,
is working like a wheel arrow machine in this ring right now.
[indistinct]
And again, Lash trying to get back into this match, just got taken out.
and it is all champions… And the tarantula now.
[Booker] Wow.
Double up, double up one time, man!
[Victor] And I had brought this up at the start.
Whoever wins will have a short week.
It will be a quick turnaround into the kickout.
The winner of this watchup will defend the WWE Women's Tag Team titles
against Bianca Bellaire and Jade Cargill
Friday on Smackdown, the night before Summerslam in Cleveland.
[Booker] You know what they all say, you have to stay ready,
so you ain't guts to get ready.
And that's Alba Fyre and Isla Dunne is thinking about.
[indistinct] who can win those tag team championship?
[Victor] You know who they want. They did it in Scotland.
[Booker] Exactly. Exactly my point. They're on point.
[Victor] It's also a duo that has won the NXT Women's Tag Team titles,
as you talked about earlier.
Two women that were destined to do this for a long time together,
and to control, an entire division.
-[Booker] Lash trying to get back into it. -[Victor] She better get back into it.
[Booker] [indistinct]
[Booker] Lash has grown…
[Victor] Whoa.
[Booker] Oh, so much, man. Oh, so much.
[Victor] The power of Lash Legend might just be a great equalizer.
And Jakara Jackson, wiping up the field.
[Booker] Here we go.
[Victor] Again, you walk in this second of the in-ring action.
Who leaves the Great American Bash with gold around their waist?
Back live on the Great American Bash here on SyFy.
The [indistinct] Women's Tag Team titles on the line and the challengers right now.
Jakara Jackson, Lash Legend, trying to turn this match-up around.
And here comes Lash.
[Booker] Here we go, Vic.
Here we go.
[Victor] And the Great American Bash could be a few golden weeks for Meta 4.
You see Ora Mensah on the outside.
He and Ethan Page for the NXT title next week here on SyFy.
Contract signing still to come tonight.
And Lash Legend taking full control of this match.
[Booker] They spank of Lash Legend.
[indistinct] the growth of Lash Legend
looking like she is trying to do something special here tonight, Vic.
[Victor] They're trying to crown themselves champions.
Nice back breaker on Isla Dunne.
Or excuse me, Alba Fyre is Isla Dunne now.
Just got caught, just got hoisted and dropped the center of the ring.
-[Victor] Into the cover. For the title. -[Booker] Oh, cover.
[Booker] Damn.
[Victor] Lash legend is hitting Dunne.
She's hitting Fyre.
She's hitting anyone and everyone that is standing in her way right now.
I can't even keep track of it.
Because we can see the crowning, Booker, of new champions, here in this moment.
It's the first of three title matches.
[Booker] See that moment right there, Lash Legend was doing everything.
And actually, she's doing everything right.
But just got caught, Vic.
The referee was trying to keep Jakara Jackson at bay.
And Alba Fyre right between the eyes of Lash Legend.
And take a look at this tag team tandem offense.
Why they are champs, [indistinct] And into the cover goes Fyre.
and Jackson just breaking up [indistinct].
[Booker] It's not about the gold, Vic. Not so much.
It's just about being the best.
When you're the best, the gold Justn follows you, man.
Oh, yeah. Wow.
There it is. You see the gold right there?
-[Victor] I saw it. -[Booker] It's all about that.
A lot of eyes on this match-up.
NXT Universe on the edge of their seats.
What a way to kick off week one of the Great American Bash.
Legend, using that strength.
But Alba Fyre, using that wisdom with that big DDT into the cover
to retain the title, and a near fall on Lash Legend.
As we mentioned, there's eyes on this match-up.
There's Bianca Bellaire.
You see what she just posted on social media.
Not to be outdone by Bianca, was her tag team partner, as well.
There you see Jade Cargill.
Their eyes, focused on this match, because they will meet
the winner of this match-up, for the WWE Women's Tag Team titles
this Friday, live on Smackdown.
[Booker] Well I'm sure they studied diligently for that match-up.
The question is, who is it going to be, Vic?
[Victor] We're going to find out in a matter of moments, I'm sure.
As these two teams, trying to get one up on the other.
And right now, it's advantage Meta 4.
Alba Fyre high above, looking for that poison… Rana blocked.
Almost like an inverted Alabama Slam as a tag was made.
Jakara now legal.
And it's advantage Meta 4.
-[Victor] And all they need is the three. -[Booker] Oh.
-[Victor] That could be it.
[Victor] We have new champions at the Great American-- Oh.
Isla Dunne.
[Booker] Great tag team work there, Vic. Great tag team work by Isla.
[crowd] NXT, NXT!
NXT Universe showing their love for both these teams.
And when we talk about the champs--
And Isla Dunne just took out Lash Legend.
Alba Fyre and Jakara in the ring.
And Jackara up over.
It was countered. Super kick under the jaw.
Champions have said they feel overlooked even as champions.
Let that sink in for a moment.
As we see the unholy union looking to put an evil touch on this match-up.
[Booker] Good night.
[Victor] And the evil duo retains their title.
[male announcer] Here are your winners
and still the WWE Women's tag team champions,
Alba Fyre and Isla Dunne.
[Victor] What makes the champions more dangerous now than ever before?
[Booker] Getting that self-contained union, Vic.
I'm talking about, like the [indistinct].
Oh, yeah, man.
[Victor] Well, as the champions who cashed in tonight, and retain their title,
as they now set their sights on Cleveland.
Friday, Smackdown, when they defend the gold against Bellaire and Jade Cargil.
[music]
Take your hat off to the challengers tonight.
Oh.
-[Booker] Oh. -[Victor] Oh, my.
[Booker] [indistinct]
Cut the music.
Would you look at this?
Meta 4 coming up short.
Ladies, I truly hope you repay the favor to Oro next weekend.
Console him after his loss because…
There won't be any fluke victories
or luck on your side.
And there sure as hell won't be any one, two, threes.
[crowd] One, two, three.
Oro, I'm going to do you a favor, though.
And I'll let you get a close look
because, Oro, this is the best look you're ever going to get
at my NXT title.
[Booker] Oh. Wait a minute. Booker!
He did it again.
Outside Oro did it again.
They sign the contract tonight.
But can Oro get the three-count when it matters the most?
Next week for the NXT championship.
Week two of the Great American Bash.
[music]
[indistinct]
I hope it clicks with him. I can't let his emotions take over.
[indistinct]
You're in no position to spread wisdom.
Trick ignored you and then he beat you.
Last week, you witnessed the success of my teachings
and the power of an open mind, gentlemen.
Brooks Jensen is starting to see the light.
I'm making a difference in that young man's life, Cedric.
And I would offer to do the same for you,
but some are just a lost cause.
-Lost cause? -That's right.
[indistinct]
See, you can't manipulate me.
I'm not one of the weak-minded, weak-willed people you like to prank on--
What did you say?
I got a weak mind?
I will show you weak-mind. Come on! Let's--
This is not the time and place.
Don't tell me what to do.
You want to keep talking, talk tonight. I got you.
Okay. We can do our talking tonight.
I wasn't trying to talk to you.
Tavion Heights, big opportunity tonight.
What is your plan to bring the Heritage Cup home to the NQCC?
Well, about this time four years ago,
I represented this whole country
at the Olympic Games in Greco-Roman wrestling.
And then that same, I got a bronze medal at the World Championship.
And then, a year before that,
I got the gold medal at the Panamerican Championship, Hank.
So big matches, they don't scare me, player.
And Tony D'Angelo, yeah, he's the Dunnena NXT.
But he's also an NCAA Championship qualifier at the University of Buffalo.
[indistinct]
Tony is a true grappler and a shooter.
I'm ready for that challenge.
Tavion, thank you.
Well, throw it now at Tank Ledger,
who's staying by with the Heritage Cup champion himself.
Thanks, Hank. I'm here live with the Dunne.
Dunne, you're facing a former Olympian in Tavion Heights.
How are you going to get it done?
Listen, Tavion is what we would call a legit guy.
Representing your country in the Olympics is a big-time stuff.
But I don't do it every four years.
I do it every today.
And tonight, Tavion will find out I do it in the ring, as well.
Tony d'Angelo defends the Heritage Cup, next.
I've been in the business for 18 years.
I started at 12 years old.
And when I look around this locker room, I've seen it all before.
Grown men, that can't handle a setback.
They just can't figure it out.
Pete Dunne, YXB.
Young and Bitter.
The first time in my life that I turned to somebody for advice,
I got stuck with a terrible nickname.
[female announcer] Butch.
And a front row seat to the shameless show.
You would be bitter, too.
Seamus went home
and Rich ran when things got a little tough.
Tyler's laid up at home resting up.
They're not like me.
And neither are you, Trick.
That's Pete Dunne.
You know, I just can't seem to figure it out.
[Victor] What has gotten into Dunne?
When I was a teenager back in Birminghan, I traveling on a bus to a show,
when three [indistinct] walked up carrying hammers.
They jumped me and robbed me.
In front of a bus full of people, nobody stepped up for me.
Nobody stepped in.
I pulled myself together.
Cracked teeth, black eye.
I stood up, pulled myself together.
And made the town handle business.
You know why?
Because I just figure it out.
Patrick, you're the face of NXT.
A man with all the tools.
6'4", superstar athlete.
And you've answered some tough questions.
You beat [indistinct].
You beat Carmelo Hayes.
You think that somebody with all that confidence
will be able to trust their instincts,
but no.
You have to come to a man like me for answers.
So next week, you're in for a painful lesson.
And I'm going to force you to figure it out.
[laughter]
Okay, Petey. Let's see who has it all figured out next week.
Forget what that trick.
I'm going to whoop that ass.
[Victor] Oh, wait.
Trick and Dunne, next week?
[Booker] I'm loving it.
[Victor] I can't wait, Booker,
it's now time for our second championship match of the night.
And this will be for the Heritage Cup.
And for Tavion Heights,
is this the match…
are these the stakes, I should say,
for why Dempsey wanted Tavion Heights in a no-quarter catch.
[Booker] Yeah, man, I mean, [indistinct].
-[Booker] Look at him. -[Victor] It's the Olympian.
[Booker] Yeah. he's got a [indistinct].
[indistinct]
Has he learned enough? That's the question.
[music]
[Victor] Staffs.
Crucifino.
Rizzo.
And the Dunne.
The family is here.
The one thing we have to admit,
is Tony d'Angelo is not afraid to defend the Heritage Cup.
And he really has adapted to this matchup,
which, of course, six three-minute rounds,
Disqualification ends the match. It's the first to two decisions.
And we have to remember the time in between the rounds.
That 20 seconds or so, that has played a crucial part
in a lot of the recent matches for Tony d'Angelo.
[bell ringing]
[male announcer] The following contest
is for the NXT Heritage Cup Championship.
It will be contested under Heritage Cup rules.
Introducing the challenger,
representing no quarter catch crew,
Tavion Heights.
And his opponent,
representing the D'Angelo family.
He is the NXT Heritage Cup champion,
Tony d'Angelo.
[Victor] Look, I kind of just alluded to this, but…
We know how much you love combat fighting, combat sports.
If it comes down to the corner
if I comes down to that second,
whose side do you trust more? The Dunne's or Tavion Heights?
[Booker] You look at both corners, I think they both got capable corners,.
unlike my man, Lexus king, the star of all television.
He didn't have anybody in his corner tonight. It's even odds--
[Victor] I thought you were going to get in this corner, so really--
[Booker] I started to, I started to.
[Victor] A feeling-out process here.
as you see the clock has begun.
15 seconds in
and we heard from both of these men in the last week or so.
And Tavion Heights earlier today.
That Dunne seems to almost find humor in the NQCC,
trying to copy the family, Charlie Dempsey.
trying to be the Dunne, so to speak, Dunne [indistinct], I should say.
[Booker] You know, [indistinct] Charlie. He's an operator.
He's actually a [indistinct]. I like that. I like that.
-[Booker] What's that mean? -[Victor] Capisce?
-Yeah. -"Get it?" "Capisce?"
-[Victor] "Understand?" -[Booker] Okay. Got you.
[Victor] That from Tavion Heights, so this style, I believe,
if you look at his pedigree, which is the word he used,
this style really does suit Tavion Heights, does it not?
[Booker] It does make Tavion Heights been on the map for quite some time.
And Tony D., lately he has been operating on a different level.
He knows the rules,
as well as he knows how to beat, perhaps break those rules
[Victor] Nice fireman carried by d'Angelo.
The cup, of course, introduced four years ago,
as you would say, Noam Dorthy, the greatest to hold the cup.
He's actually the only man to hold it more than once.
[Booker] Noam was three times Heritage Cup winner.
And what-- I have been hearing, Noam Dunne is chomping at the bit
to get back on the shenanigans going on with his cup.
His cup.
[Victor] He certainly had his eyes on the match tonight.
that featured Meta 4 trying to bring home the WWE Women's Tag Team title
Oro Mensah with the NXT Championship match next week,
but as we are over two and a half minutes into this first round,
this has been an even match-up between these two.
Neither man trying to make a mistake early on in this match-up.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
[Booker] The Dunne is definitely operating at a different level right now.
Slowing down the pace.
Knowing he has plenty of time, man.
[Victor] Wonder what type of digging Lucas Crucifino has done on Tavion,
to help out with Tony d'Angelo in the match-up
as we are under 60 seconds left here in round number one.
And you know, looking at it, it's been fairly even, Book.
[Booker] 47 seconds left in this first frame.
[Victor] See that no quarter catch crew n the outside looking in.
Charlie Dempsey, who's one of the kind has like the Dunne,
has found himself in a big old mess.
The incident in the parking lot,
that has lead to the whole Ren Sinclair situation,
still no [indistinct], by the way.
and that kind of puts the pressure on Tavion Heights
here tonight in the Great American Bash as we're inside the final 25 seconds.
[Booker] It doesn't really matter because look at this match right here.
All those [indistinct], all the problems can go away, one match.
One win.
[indistinct]
Inside the final ten seconds.
[Victor] D'Angelo now, trying to lock in an ankle lock,
maybe a leg lock of some sort.
Looking for the submission.
And Tavion Heights does not tap as he was also looking for submission.
Both men not letting go.
Both men, saved by the bell.
[indistinct] got the far sign as well.
Both men jockeying for position.
As here we see the importance of the corner through it.
That's Wren Sinclair!
Wren Sinclair's here.
Come on.
Back here on SyFy.
You can see the clock is into the final 15 seconds of round two.
And Tony d'Angelo now, diligently trying to get to his feet.
Trying to get to the middle rope,
trying to overcome Tavion Heights in this moment
to possibly pick up the first position.
-[Booker] Man! -[Victor] And that's not in time.
[Victor] As again, round two will end.
No fault.
This has been very even between these two teams,
but I need to bring up before we went to last break,
Wren Sinclair has popped up--
Wren Sinclair has been trying to get in to the NQCC might be an extra distraction,
because Tony d'Angelo's focused on that Heritage Cup
on the TV eyes of the champion.
Tavion Heights not even to his feet.
[Booker] I'mma say I'm so impressed with Tavion Heights for that.
Look at the posture right now.
He's not looking the greatest, but he's still in this fight.
[indistinct]
[Victor] [indistinct] to D'Angelo's shoulders and a kickout.
And that could have been the first decision
just ten seconds in to this match-up.
Of course, Tony d'Angelo passed Charlie Dempsey's reign
as champion yesterday.
You know, Dempsey's aware of it, as right back to his feet.
Forget about it.
[indistinct] flows over,
and it only takes three seconds to earn that decision.
[female announcer] Tony d'Angelo scored the first fall.
[Victor] It-- Whoa, whoa.
Get up, get up!
You're Tavoin Heights! You're an Olympian!
What are you doing?
You need to do it. You need to do it.
Yeah.
[Victor] Heights doesn't look sluggish anymore.
[Booker] What the hell just-- Oh!
[Victor] It appears the Olympian has woken up, thanks to Wren Sinclair.
I'm a little befuddled now, Book.
[Booker] Talking about a motivator, man. That's what I'm thinking.
[Victor] Say that one more time.
-[Booker] Oh. -[Victor] Nice.
[Victor] Belly belly-to-belly. Hook on the leg.
And the [indistinct] kickout.
Tavion won!
[male announcer] Tavion Heights has scored the second fall.
[Victor] I mean, we know that Tavion needs tough coaching, but…
Dempsey should just…
Are you seeing this right in front of us?
[Booker] I know.
[Victor] I mean, if no one was paying attention to Tavion Heights,
they were talking among themselves as the round number five has begun.
And look, if she's going to be a distraction,
why not just let her join the NQCC for Charlie Dempsey?
[Booker] I'll tell you right now. Tavion had a huge adrenaline rush.
He looks a little lackadaisical right now, Vic.
[Victor] Well, he was certainly woken up by Wren Sinclair.
And he looks to be kicking out [indistinct].
-[Booker] Here we go. -[Victor] Nice supplex
[Victor] to bring the cut back to the no corner catch crew
as d'Angelo just got the right shoulder.
But you have to wonder what's going through the head now
of the family on the far side of the ring.
We saw the WWE Women's tag titles retained.
The kick of the night,
our third championship match still to come in the main event.
This one about the Heritage Cup.
It's tied at one, next decision is the winner.
-[Victor] Into the cover, and a kickout. -[Booker] Oh!
[Booker] I'm gonna say it, man. Tavion needs to stay on the gas
because this could be a moment, man.
This could be a huge upset, Vic.
[Victor] 60 seconds off of the clock here in round five, and-- Oh!
Nasty spill for Heights, as D'Angelo's back to his feet.
And now, he's listening over to Luca, Sacks, and Rizzo.
He seems to be refocused, re-energized. Maybe [indistinct],
[Booker] Better move by Dunne right there.
Now he's taking advantage, full advantage of Tavion Heights.
Just that one little mistake, Vic.
[Victor] And there's a NCAA qualifier with a spine-railing spine-buster.
90 seconds left in round five.
And D'Angelo knows this is the moment he's got to strike.
And he [indistinct] it up with another spine buster.
-[Booker] That could be it. -Into the cover, deep hook in the leg.
And the Dunne repays.
[male announcer] Here is your winner.
The NXT, Heritage Cup champion,
Tony d'Angelo.
[Victor] What a fight.
But in the end, the Dunne keeps the cup in the family.
As the summer tradition continues,
six women are ready to prove a point.
[indistinct] last Tuesday?
Yeah.
Apparently.
All you have to do to become the number one contender
for the WWE Women's Tag Team titles is see a makeshift tag team.
-Yeah. -Of soul and [indistinct].
-What? -No.
honestly, I'm so flattered you can't get our names out of your mind.
If you're taking things into your own hands,
I would love to see you try.
Exactly, but we've been saying this entire time,
because if that spots belongs to anyone,
I don't know, maybe it should go to two former NXT Women's tag team champions.
So, I think it's about time you stop complaining and being so bitter
about the fact that your glory days as champions are over.
So how about this?
Let's solve this on Tuesday,
at the Great American Bash in the six-women tag.
[speaking foreign language]
There's no more words, posts or rants.
Those six women do battle live tonight.
[bell ringing]
[male announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Brooks Jensen.
[Victor] Well, we said, you won't miss a second of in-ring action.
Brooks Jensen fights Cedric Alexander in moments
as the Great American Bash continues live on SyFy.
Back live on SyFy, joining this match-up in progress,
as you saw under the break, Brooks Jensen and Cedric Alexander.
An argument lead to the confrontation between these two earlier,
and now, we have a match-up.
If you're Cedric Alexander, you're trying to guide talent here at NXT.
You're doing it for your own good.
-[Booker] What are you talking about? -[Victor] You're trying to pay it forward.
[Booker] What are you talking about "paying it forward"?
Look, man, you pay it forward when you retire, all right?
Right now, this is a competition.
I'm talking about [indistinct], Vic.
You understand that.
[Victor] Well, I'm talking about Cedric Alexander,
who right now, looking to fly through the middle rope,
wiping out Jensen.
He got in the face of Shawn Spears.
I should say Sean Spears got in his face.
And look, since his return, Spears has only wanted a recap.
And Cedric tried to explain to Trick control your emotions.
They had an argument, Cedric and Trick. You know what that argument lead to?
It led to them having a match. They settled it in the ring.
[Booker] Sean Spears is just trying to drop knowledge, man.
I mean, if you're talking about somebody paying it forward,
that's the guy paying it forward.
[indistinct]
[Victor] Let's focus on [indistinct] right now--
Big knee lift under the jaw.
And you see Brooks Jensen.
He might look disheveled,
but how brutal was last week's no disqualification match
between Jensen and Briggs.
[Booker] Briggs got the hell beat out of him last week.
And the courtesy of this man right here.
[Victor] He ended up covering a kickout,
and looky, looky, who we see.
The man who had an argument as well with Cedric Alexander.
And that being Shawn Spears.
I don't know if you we're able to get a good look at Briggs.
Last week the battle scars were over his back,
if you look at Brooks Jensen,
he's got a nice shiner under his eye.
[Booker] What I'm thinking about, though, is Cedric Alexander stepping back in NXT.
These guys need to understand.
This is a different NXT.
And a very dangerous Brooks Jensen at this moment, man.
[Victor] Well, there I will have to agree
that the urge was just driven out of Cedric's lungs
into the cover and a kickout.
-[Booker] See that? -[Victor] Wasn't much on it.
[Booker] and a little insult of injury dropping the elbow right above the chin.
and right now just [indistinct] Cedric Alexander.
[Victor] If you're Brooks Jensen, you know everyone must choose one of two pains.
The pain of discipline or regret.
It's no difference with someone like Brooks Jensen.
I know there's a lot going through his mind.
I wonder if last week he was able to get that monster inside of him out.
[Booker] You talk about that pain,
Brooks said [indistinct] has turned that pain into rage.
We saw it last week.
And we're watching a little of it right now, Vic--
-[Booker] Oh. -[Victor] Look at Alexander now,
[Victor] picking up some pace.
And this is something you noticed last week about Cedric Alexander.
He's put on a lot of muscle.
And hasn't lost a step in the ring.
[Booker] [indistinct] a solid, solid muscle,
definitely gonna add to the repertoire of this man, Cedric Alexander.
Looking to fire himself up here.
Big shot.
[Victor] Charged right in, Alexander now, right to the back of Jensen.
[Booker] Yeah.
[Victor] Alexander now looking for that [indistinct] driver.
Connected center of the ring.
And not enough to put Brooks away.
And you gotta wonder, the referee was in great position,
as there you see Sean Spears looking on.
Check this out. Bam!
The shoulders weren't down quite yet.
And maybe it was that half second extra that Brooks Jensen got
that was allowing him to get back in the match.
[Booker] Cedric Alexander was very surprised because he thought that was it.
He thought it was over.
[Victor] Oh, and that could be over. What a kick in the mush.
Right to the face.
Jensen now, pulling himself to the top.
but that's right in the wheelhouse for Cedric Alexander.
[Booker] Oh, yes. Exactly right. What are we gonna we see here?
-[Booker] Oh, wow. -[Victor] To the throat.
[Booker] You see that?
[Victor] I did.
[Victor] Alexander felt it-- Jensen with the leg drop from the top.
[Booker] Oh, man.
[Victor] That's going to do it here tonight at the Great American Bash.
But Alexander able to kick out and get that left shoulder up.
[crowd cheering]
[Victor] Learning a lot right now about Cedric Alexander
making his return a couple of weeks ago here to NXT.
-[Victor] I don't like when they get-- -[Booker] [indistinct].
[Victor] I don't like it when they get this close to us.
And now, a cord buster.
[Booker] It ain't over.
[Victor] It isn't, because we've seen this in the past with Jensen,
yelling at the official.
Jensen-- Oh, my god!
Cedric got tied up in the cords here at the desk.
Quickly, they realize this is his opening.
And hits the lumbar kick with a little extra.
[crowd] One, two…
[Victor] That's a big, big victory for Cedric.
[male announcer] Here's your winner,
Cedric Alexander.
[Victor] I mean, how good must that feel.
Take another look, Booker. Look at the bend.
Oh! Of Jensen's left knee and the shin.
Followed up by that handed lumbar check for Cedric Alexander,
who picks up a victory at the Great American Bash.
To be fair maybe Brooks should've listened to Cedric Alexander earlier tonight.
What do you want to know about me?
My earliest memory of wrestling is probably with my mom and dad.
You know, they would always fight.
But when the TV come on, the only thing yelling was the TV
and Micheal Cole, of course.
[indistinct]. Oh, my god.
My mom, she was more of a John Cena person.
My dad was a Booker T. person.
[indistinct]
But my parents split when I was around 6 years old.
When your parents get divorced at a young age,
you got a little anger.
When I saw Jeff Hardy jump on the top rope,
also RV hit that frog splash.
[indistinct]
I mean, I guess I can tell this story,
but, in second grade, during recess, I see this wall.
So I climbed the wall all the way to the top.
And I see my friends playing wrestling at the bottom.
So I thought I was Jeff Hardy.
And he's gonna say the young OG got in trouble.
I can't get in trouble for this, right?
All right.
Yeah, when I was younger, I used to tell my teachers to suck it.
And my neighbors had a big trampoline.
So whenever they would leave for work,
I would hop their fence and go over there and call my friends.
but, hey, I got a trampoline.
So we kind of wrestled on it.
And whenever they came back from work, we was out here.
We were gone.
Wrestling is fun to me. I'd say it brings me joy.
You know, Young OG like to have fun.
So I had this thought, all right? Hear me out.
I was like, hey, what if I take a step off of the trampoline
and start chasing this dream for real?
He's talking and he says, "Look, I know you believe, but the shooter…"
-Excuse me, ladies. -Of course.
Goodluck out there.
I completely believe…
Well I believe whatever y'all believe.
So let's check go this out this concert.
All right.
I'm so excited.
Wait, hold on.
We are on a Tuesday?
Yeah, man. The wrest tree house can happen anywhere, and anytime.
But, it's exactly the same. How?
Well, Wes, due to fabrics of space and time,
light particles are actually refracted from radiation waves and…
You don't look like you're following me.
It's a magic tree house, bro!
Magic's been real!
Why didn't you tell me it was magic? Like, I understand magic.
I mean, look at all of us. We're magical as hell.
Anywho…
Yes, everything to this would happen.
I just-- I guess-- I guess I [indistinct].
I know, man. Four years apart,
You guys think we celebrate with a little…?
Absolutely not.
It's kind of pidgy around here.
But the Rascalz are back in business.
What a time to be alive.
You're right, man.
We can't forget about anything you guys did here on NXT as MSK, you know?
I mean, you could argue that Wes and myself
are one of the Greatest tag teams ever to step foot in this building.
What? I made that argument two weeks ago.
Those exact words.
Like I didn't say it first?
More to the point.
We never really lost the tag team titles.
Actually, it kind of stings a little bit.
Burns, right in here.
And look at last week.
That firemen event reminded people how we do things around here.
That's actually kind of a blur to me.
But I remember you pining Axion, I do remember that.
And that proves…
And that proves that the reunited MSK deserves a tag team title match.
Bringing the bad babies home to us.
Defend them across two different companies.
That would be sick.
We have to get the word out.
Look, you know what? I'm going to text Nathan and see what they said.
Then, while we're waiting.
[music]
I hate to say this, man.
But the Rascalz, they are pretty excited.
MSK really turning things around here at NXT.
Along with the Rascalz, they are exciting to watch.
No doubt when it comes to action here at NXT.
Especially the main event, that we saw last week.
Booker, do you hear it?
It's time.
He's here.
Say it.
I don't need to.
Because they all believe.
Mr. Joe Hendry.
[music]
[crowd singing]
Say his name and he appears.
[crowd cheering]
Welcome to the historic first-ever Joe Hendry concert in WWE.
Now, my concerts are critically acclaimed all over the world.
But tonight, we brought it here to NXT.
I can feel the buzz in the air.
And I knew I needed to create something special
because the world is saying they believe in Joe Hendry.
So, we need a song that everyone is going to love.
Well, almost everyone.
Give me one little second here.
There we go.
Beautiful.

[crowd cheering]
[indistinct]
I knew this was going to be fun.
But you're in a party mood tonight.
So how about we have ourselves a little encore?
[cheers and applause]
And maybe we should sing a certain song
when I spin around and you see a certain face.
[cheers]
What do you think, NXT Universe?
Well, the people have spoken, so let's sing it together.
[music]
Enough. Enough.
-[male] [indistinct] One-two. -[Victor] Come on.
Good night NXT. There will be no encore.
Yeah. You're a flash in the pan.
You're a one-hit wonder.
[indistinct]
And if I hear that song one more time,
someone is getting decked.
I feel as if I've heard that song before.
So if you want some, come get some.
Go on then.
[Victor] You don't get asked twice.
Joe, I don't know why you have [indistinct]
[indistinct] right here when you say show is over, pal.
Show's over.
Gallus warned Joe Hendry of this moment.
Oh, we're about to play it here.
He's warming up to get tossed-- Oh!
Despicable.
We know the Gallus boys don't want him here.
Needless to say.
Statement made.
I don't believe.
Uh-oh. There she is.
What about main eventers who sell the NXT Quims champion?
The champ is going to crush it tonight. You know why, Hank?
-Why? -This is not only a history maker,
she's a record breaker.
Finally, some respect around here.
Speaking of records, you guys wanna break a little record now?
Maybe a Guiness World Record?
That's what I'm talking about, Hank sir.
All you gotta do is put 60 or more of these bad boys on your face
in a minute or less.
Champ, you got first dips.
Trick, you got second dips. Let's go.
Start the timer, buddy.
Here we go.
On your marks, get set, go.
Yes. no, no, fast, fast.
Fast card?
[indistinct]
Fifty five seconds left. Twenty seconds!
you, morons! Find someone else to annoy,
because clearly, I'm getting ready for my match.
My championship match.
Yeah. Championship you might not have after tonight.
Ooh!
-Check out. -Not that count.
-I can't do all time. -Last week had nothing.
What do you want?
-Everything means something-- -Check the record books.
-Which record book? -Whose book is this?
-Me. -Okay. Hi.
-Don't worry about it. -Hi. Yes.
I see we got a lot of big feelings.
But let's remember why we're here.
Oh. We're here because I granted Oro a gift.
A title match.
A gift you don't deserve.
Okay, be quiet, my guy.
Two months ago, you attacked my brother, Noam.
You put him on the shelf.
And then, you had the audacity to attack me.
I've been chasing your goofy face the whole time,
but you ran, you [indistinct]. You hide.
Because you know every week, you know I will pin you once, two, three.
Stop counting. Don't finish.
Again and again.
Your precious ego couldn't take it.
Your stupid ego couldn't handle the fact I pinned you.
That's why you wanted this match to happen.
And that's why this match is going to be official.
Oro, none of that stuff counts.
Nothing you have done to me matters.
And get this through your head.
You can't beat me.
And you won't beat me.
Sign it.
Beautiful.
You see, you might be the champion.
But I have zero respect for everything you think you are.
Like I care.
Paige, you look at me and you think Oro Mensah has nowhere to be a champion.
You're right.
That kid that never fit in.
But when I beat you the next week.
that NXT title
is gonna fit perfectly around the main man's waste.
All right. It's official.
There you go, Book. It is official.
The NXT title on the line, next week.
Love it, mate.
[music]
[bell ringing]
[male announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, coming to the ring by [indistinct],
Kendall Bray.
And here's Kendall gray, who opened some eyes
and created some buzz last week,
when she just tossed Miles Borne.
-[Booker] Yeah. -I mean, tossed Miles Borne.
[Booker] The internet went nuts.
235 pounds of Miles Borne.
I can't get over what she did.
[male announcer] And her opponent,
representing OTM,
Shayna Parker.
[Booker] Miss Parker in the house.
Don't play with me.
[Victor] You know, what did you just make of that interaction
between Miss Parker and Roxanne Perez?
You know, only thing is that is
Miss Parker said, "I want a piece of the action.
I wanna shot the title."
That's what this thing is all about. It really truly is.
We've had two title matches.
Thus far tonight champions retained in both those contests.
As the women taking center stage here on SyFy.
A reminder, Raw this Sunday on week two
of the Great American Bash next Tuesday, also live right here on SyFy.
-Miss Parker on one knee. -That was beautiful.
Right to the-- Oh. Look at Grey firing right back.
Look, Kendall Grey, natural math skills.
Has had success everywhere she's gone.
She probably hasn't run into anyone like Jaida Parker, off the pin.
A kickout.
You know what they say, right Vic?
Styles make fights.
Kendall Grey better be ready for a fight here tonight with Jaida Parker.
Kendall Grey, a three-time NAIA champion.
Another NIL athlete who's taken huge strides, Booker,
in the few short months she's been here in NXT.
There are levels to this game right here, Vic.
And you go back three weeks ago.
[indistinct] Jaida Parker.
I will tell you, the tests-- All tests have been passed
as far as I'm concerned.
Well, I'm glad you bring up that match-up,
I mean, Parker has certainly made an impression very quickly in NXT.
She has the style, Vic. It's not the typical style.
She is more of a street fighter.
[indistinct] Oh, yes.
That was very effective.
Into the cover and a kickout.
Look, she came out with OTM.
Nima Price, both of them went to the back.
Another kickout. Jaida Parker not afraid to do it alone.
As we mentioned, whether it's been a street fight or ladder matches
on premium live events.
She certainly has also turned up real quickly.
And some may not remember, Jaida Parker also an NIL athlete.
Punching people in the face just seems to suit her.
Jaida Parker don't mind mixing it up.
You can tell she is from that hood.
She doesn't get a yellow or red card here in WWE
as right now, she is just beating down Kendall Grey.
And you can see the pain etched on the face of Grey
in the center of the ring.
But there's no quit.
And Kendall Grey was able to get back to a vertical base,
and ob the outside, Carly Bright.
You know, they met each other the first day.
-[Booker] Wait a minute. -[Victor] Here at the P.C.
But right back in.
Again, Jaida Parker going to the well one too many times.
And there comes Kendall Grey.
I'm thinking if this breaks down into a slug fest,
I know who you're choosing.
-[Booker] Of course, but let me tell you-- -[Victor] Nice neck breaker.
She is looking very, very well.
[indistinct]
[Booker] Oh, yes!
Grey, now, showing the effects of the offense from Jaida Parker
that's focused on the--
There's Miles Borne.
Along with Wren Sinclair.
And this is what we talked about last week.
Again. It happened again, Book.
Oh, he's got her girl back that's 235 pounds.
Kendall Grey just threw her out.
And now, she is checking around Jaida Parker.
Definitely like an Olympic slam, and it does bring a victory…
[Booker] Oh, man.
…for Kendall Grey here tonight.
[indistinct] was here,
trying to get a big win here at the Great American Bash.
You see Carly Bright on the outside, eyes wide at this moment.
Because things are not looking well.
Oh-- For Kendall Grey now.
That teardrop in the corner.
The high step action.
To go with it. I love it.
Looking like LeBron.
And now trying to follow it up right back to the midsection.
And Carly Bright can't even watch what's going on.
-[Booker] It's about to happen. -[Victor] Because here comes the match.
[Victor] Neck!
Parker, taking advantage of the distraction to pick up the "w."
[male announcer] Here is your winner,
Jaida Parker.
Talking about Miles Borne coming down here.
-[Booker] Come over. -[Victor] Carly Bright on the show--
[Booker] Carly Bright came back right there--
What are you talking about?
And this is what happened. The distraction.
The game wasn't the same for Kendall Grey.
And the game might have just picked up in the women's division
thanks to Jaida Parker.
I'm not as nevous as I thought I would be.
-That's because you're great, Thea. -You're right. I'm too [indistinct].
[indistinct]
I can't tell you how much those words meant to me.
I meant everything I said.
Thank you. Seriously.
About tonight, no one is throwing in the towel.
You do whatever it takes.
Even if you have to rip her out,
you do whatever it takes to become NXT Women's Champion.
-How are you feeling? -I'm feeling pumped.
He just told me to do whatever it takes to win the championship.
So I'm going to tap Roxanne's ass out.
Whatever it takes, huh?
Whatever it takes to bring home the gold.
Yes, yes.
Our third championship match still to come.
[music]
[bell ringing]
[male announcer] The following contest is a six-woman tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first the team of Jacy Jane, Jazmin Nyx, and Fallon Henly.
When we return to the Great American Bash six women, tag team action. Next.
[speaking foreign language]
One second, brother.
[speaking foreign language]
What are you guys talking about?
Speed match.
[indistinct]
Look, I'm sure you heard what the Rascalz said earlier.
Here's the contract for the NXT Tag Team title match for next week.
And here is a pen.
[indistinct]
Yeah, no. We'll definitely think about it.
Think about it.
[indistinct]
Excuse me guys. Can I get a moment with my tag partner alone?
Yeah?
Brother, did you just agree to a tag team match without my consent?
Yeah, we're fine. We got this, bro.
Brother, you didn't have it last week when you got pinned.
-Wow. -This is the definition of not locking in.
Brother, I'm locked in.
We are fine. We are gonna defend this titles
but first, I'm going to win my speed match tomorrow.
Okay? We're fine. I'm telling you, we're fine.
[speaking foreign language]
We got ourselves another championship match next week here on SyFy.
[music]
[male announcer] And their opponents,
the team up Lola Vice, Karmen Petrovic, and Sol Ruca.
Right now, Book, we got three very different women
with one similar goal.
Beat the terrible trio.
We got a lot of talent inside the square circle [indistinct]
[indistinct]
A series of social media posts which we didn't see earlier,
from over the weekend,
has added the fuel to that match-up.
But Sol Ruca brought up a great point in the video she posted.
She and Fallon Henley arrived at NXT, Booker, at the same time.
So, do the math.
Does that make Fallon Henley
who's starting things off with so-called a Rookie?
Quality over quantity.
[indistinct]
He's your worst enemy, I think that's what it is.
Fallon has become a star here at NXT.
And look and Sol Ruca trying to power her way back up in Fallon Henly.
Jumping off the surf port.
But it is Jane and Jazmyn Nyx. They got a lot of chirping.
Can they back up the talk here tonight for Fallon Henly?
She is looking to make it a top shelf Tuesday.
Btu she just got hit with the Xfactor by Sol Ruca.
Sol Ruca is a special talent right now.
-[Victor] There it is. -[Booker] [indistinct].
And for Sol Ruca , the smile on her face, always having a good time.
Even a better time now.
As she's punching Fallon Henly and the same can be said for Petrovic,
who didn't seem too worried
with what she perceived to be empty threats from Jane Nyx.
[indistinct]
She has been competing since she was 17 years old.
She's a mature. Understand the process.
She's got to learn the hard way.
Oh, beautiful.
Jazmin Nyx is checked into the match-up, and talking about learning the hard way,
take a look at the education
that he's about to get from Carmen Petrovic
And it's Jazmyn Nyx who said she was the exception to the Rukie rule.
Jazmin is heating up with the learning.
Oh, wow.
The Shing-shing Squad here tonight--
Carmen Petrovic!
As she's tarting to heat up here at the Great American Bash--
into the cover and near fall.
[Victor] Doesn't look like Petrovic and Sol Ruca and Lola Vice
They don't look like rookies right now.
They are rookies.
They have to pay their dues. That's what they're doing here tonight.
Nice kick right to the face!
Dropping Nyx one more time, and it's Jazmyn Nyx who's paying her dues
at this moment in this match-up.
And it's Carmen Petrovic now looking for this submission--
Take a look! Center of the ring.
Nowhere for Jazmyn Nyx to go.
And a look of worry on the face of Fallon Henly.
[Booker] [indistinct].
This chance, Vic. This ain't checkers.
Right now they better figure out a different move on the board
because they are getting taken care of
by Petrovic, Sol Ruca and, now Lola Vice has tagged into the match-up.
And it's Lola Vice that claims that no one trains like she does.
[Booker] I hate to say it, Jazmyn, she was used as the pawn right now.
[indistinct]
We got a lot of chess puns here tonight. You're really on your game, Book.
An inside parell and a kickout by Lola Vice, pump, kick, cut.
Jazmyn, who check out, checking in with Jacy Jayne.
Who's taking them now? I don't know.
Jane wants to trade strikes with Lola Vice.
Yes, indeed. Did you see the video earlier this week of Lola Vice?
I just told you. I watch all the social media.
What are you talking about?
[Booker] [indistinct]
[Victor] Rolling right through. Shoulders down.
Crucific, JCJ and able to kick out this time back to Lola Vice.
Who just picks up Jane and then drops Jacy.
[Booker] Man!
That comeback MMA fighting background. Into the cover and a kickout by Jayne.
Things are looking so good,
I asked, are they going to be able to back up the chirping?
Right now, the answer is no.
And take a look at the air, getting driven out of the lungs of Jacy Jayne.
-[Victor] As Petrovic and Vice-- -[Booker] Double up!
And will that be enough this time? Another cover.
Another hook to the leg and another kickout.
Come on, this is Jacy Jayne we're talking about.
-[Victor] What are you gonna tell me? -[Booker] I'm talking about a rockstar.
she's just looking for a moment, so she can play a tune.
I'm talking about tune up the guitar.
And all that, man, is gonna happen.
[Victor] Does she look like a rock star right now?
[Booker] Of course.
[Victor] She does? Getting beat up? She looks like a rockstar?
[Booker] You gotta go both ways, Vic.
Oh, there's a tag right there by Fallon.
And Fallon Henley entering the match-up.
And now Fallon, almost in, quite what you were saying, Book.
But things are not turning around again for your so-called rock star.
As she just got kicked.
Fallon got mule kicked.
Jazmyn Nyx probably not going to work out, either.
[Booker] Look out, man.
[Victor] I don't like Fallon's odds.
Oh.
And Booker, I hate to say it. Actually, I don't mind saying it.
Look who is standing tall.
[Booker] Oh, here we go.
Petrovic wipes out your rock star.
Sol Ruca.
[Booker] Get some control!
[Victor] Looking to fly.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker] My God!
Petrovic, Ruca, Vice continuing to roll
at the Great American Bash.
Back live here on SyFy.
Six women tag team matches at the Great American Bash,
week number one.
And we want to go back to right before break.
It was Sol Ruca who soared through the air with ease.
But it has been her team that's been on the ropes ever since,
as you witnessed throughout that commercial break.
And it's Jazmyn Nyx who's in control of Carmen Petrovic.
And if you're Jazmyn right now,
I hate to say it, but…
right now your role models are Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley?
That's who you're looking up to?
-[Booker] Yes! -[Victor] Those two?
What's wrong with that?
-[Booker] I mean-- -[Victor] [indistinct].
[Booker] Let me tell you something. [indistinct] you have to have elite.
Well, trending number one right now, is NXT, the Great American Bash.
It's been nonstop action since the start.
Tag made.
-In comes Lola Vice! In comes Jacy Jade! -[Booker] Okay!
[Victor] And there are the feet going to work!
Oh, Fallon Henley getting lit up.
And Jacy Jayne, there's your rock star, tickets to the show.
[Booker] Can't take nothing away from Lola--
-[Victor] Bam! -[Booker] She's good, Vic.
She's special.
[Victor] Lola vice also heard what Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley
have said over the week.
They were angry that Lash and Jakara got a tag team championship match.
-[Victor] This starts tonight! -[Booker] Yeah!
Of course it was the only Women's tag team title
successfully defended by the unholy union.
[indistinct] kickoff tonight here at the Great American Bash,
But it's this tag team match, here and now,
with those three women standing tall.
[Booker] Are we going to see it? Are we going to see it, Vic?
[indistinct]
And it's the-- I don't even like to use the term rookies,
that have been in control of this match-up.
They are rookies, but they're paying their bills here tonight.
That's what it's all about. That's all I wanna see.
Fallon Henley, power bomb.
That's got to be it for Sol Ruca.
And a near fall.
You gotta give credit to Fallon Henley there.
She's not going to let it get away with [indistinct].
Wait a minute.
Jazmyn and Jacy on the outside.
Sol Ruca just saw her partners get laid out. She's not faced by it though.
She's continuing to push forward. All the way to the top.
And Fallon Henley able to get back to her feet.
And he's trying to not soul off her purge--
A tag was made.
-[Victor] Jacy now makes a tag. -[Booker] Double tag.
[Victor] And Nyx--
[Booker] Oh. Feeling something's about to come out. Wow.
And following up is Jazmyn Nyx.
Nyx now, with a plex, that is perfect, but not perfect enough.
As this match-up continues.
You know, it's action like this, that when I think of Jayne, Nyx and Fallon,
and just listen to this place.
How can they call NXT a joke?
[Booker] In a word.
Rookies. Rookies trying to take somebody's spot, trying to move up.
-[Booker] before the action-- -[Victor] It's jealousy.
-[Booker] I think that's-- -[Victor] They're jealous.
It's stealing [indistinct]. Whatever you wanna call it.
[Victor] Vice from behind now.
And Fallon-- And Jacy sees the opening.
And again, Lola Vice is not the legal superstar,
it's Sol Ruca, and I believe it's Jazmyn Nyx,
as Jacy just wiped out Lola.
Fallon now going up, going around, got chopped over by Petrovic.
[Booker] What a match-up, Vic.
What a match-up here tonight.
This action is [indistinct] for the official and this match,
because it it's hard to contain with all six of these women.
This's truly been human demolition Derby.
Jazmyn got caught--
Or excuse me, just caught Solud with that step-up [indistinct]
There comes Carmen Petrovic. Petrovic is now the legal superstar.
Right now she's [indistinct]. She is rolling down here.
Get bigger, stronger, faster.
So close to finishing this thing.
And this is the karate background.
Both devastating strikes, goes precision kicks into the cover.
Hook on the leg. And Jazmyn Nyx able to kick out.
Take another look, just-- Feel the impact.
The biggest thing is feeling right now to me Vic,
is gonna come down to who wants it the most?
Blocked for the moment.
Jazmyn-- Oh, there's that pain leg kick. Tag was made.
In comes Jacy Jayne. Another quick tag.
Big forearm.
Fallon Henley is legal.
Fallon calling the shots.
Sol Ruca got isolated. Carmen Petrovic got dropped.
And Lola Vice trying to get in. Gets caught.
And Fallon just pinned Petrovic.
[male announcer] Here's your winners.
The team [indistinct] Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nix and Fallon Henley.
Along this night, those three certainly proved their point.
There was that K leg kick from Jazmyn Nyx.
That would open the door because a tag was made from the forearm.
Fallon Henley was legal.
Jacy Jayne took out Sol Ruca,
Jacy Jane then stopped Lola vice.
And that allowed Fallon Henley to pick up the victory for her team
here at the Great American Bash.
[Booker] [indistinct]
Oh, yeah.
Kalani, just the person I wanted to see.
I have my toys, you have yours.
Let's play.
Tatum, I don't know what you're trying to do.
But I don't want to play with you or your dolls.
How about we play with that?
No. I don't play when it comes to this.
Neither do I.
What are you looking at?
[Victor] Well, that would creep out anyone.
But there's the challenger.
She is ready like Rocky.
Can she bring gold, I mean, Thea Hail back to Chase University?
Or will the [indistinct] retain?
Looking to get more respect on her name.
Main event is next.
Earlier tonight. NXT was having a great time until Gallus showed up,
and ruined Joe Hendry's concert.
Gallus, who does not want Joe Hendry to be in NXT.
Proved their point and made a statement earlier tonight.
Joe Hendry, your concert didn't end how you wanted tonight.
It wasn't just the NXT universe that were excited about tonight.
I was.
A Joe Hendry concert live at NXT.
A first for WWE.
A milestone in my career.
And Gallus had to ruin it.
You know, those three are driven by jealousy.
And Joe Coffey is at the wheel.
You know what I'm driven by?
Proving I belong here in NXT.
That I can hang with the best in the world.
So you know what? Next week, there's not going to be any singing.
It's gonna be 252 pounds of pure motivation,
ready to kick Joe Coffey's ass.
And one and for all, force Gallus to believe in Joe Hendry.
[Victor] We're back on SyFy next week
with week two of the Great American Bash.
and the ink is dry, but the blood, still boiling.
It will be the biggest match in the life and career of Oro Mensah.
Can he win gold, with Noam Dar looking on from back home
with the rest of the Meta 4 in his corner?
Can he get the one, two, three?
Or we'll eat the page, prove Oro is a flute NXT championship
on the line next week.
It all started with Trick Williams looking for advice.
And Pete Dunne saying figure it out.
Well, it appeared Trick has as well.
He's looking to whoop that [indistinct] next week here on SyFy.
His concert was ruined tonight, after the heinous attack by Gallus.
It is lead by Joe Coffey next week.
Joe will look to make Coffey believe in Hendry.
It all goes down on at the Great American Bash.
Play time is over,
as this wont be about dolls, but gold,
with Kalani Jordan defends the women's North American Championship
against Tatum Paxley.
This matchup takes place next week live at the Great American Bash.
And MSK looks to win back the titles they didn't lose two years ago.
But luck, because this will be high-flying,
Axiom, Frazier, first MSK for the NXT title,
three title matches next week.
But it's time for our main event.
And our third title match tonight, at the Great American Bash.
[music]
And there's the challenger, Thea Hail, with Chase University.
And Booker, can we agree that this isn't the same Thea from a year ago?
Let me check. Thea Hail has grown [indistinct] since last year.
So much more confidence, Vic.
[indistinct] I love it.
Let's see how I play here tonight. She is going to get one of the best,
if not the best.
The night began with two championship matches,
in which the champions retained.
That being the Unholy Union and Tony d'Angelo.
But there you see Thea Hail, sporting the read, white and blue
Great American Bash.
You got to wonder, what she is thinking after the pep talk from Rich Allen.
[Booker] Oh, man, I got goosebumps.
[Victor] But there's our champion.
Roxanne Perez walking into another main event.
Looking to prove once again that no one is on her level.
That's all she knows, Vic.
She's been a main eventer since day one.
Two times! I'll say it again, two times NXT Women's champion.
Put some respect on her name, man.
And you think about last summer and you think about this event,
It was a year ago that Hail unsuccessfully challenged the NXT Women's title
at the Great American Bash.
facing miss Money in the Bank, Tiffany Stratton.
It was Roxanne Perez who, on that night, was in a weapons wild match.
Really showing a new side of herself.
[Booker] You know? I hate it [indistinct] mention,
bur what really needs to be mentioned, which is the "X" factor.
-[Booker] [indistinct] -[bell ringing]
[Victor] Here we go.
[male announcer] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is for the NXT Women's Championship.
[crowd cheering]
Introducing the challenger,
representing Chase University,
Thea Hail.
-[crowd cheering] -[indistinct screaming]
And her opponent.
She is the NXT Women's Champion,
Roxanne Perez.
[Victor] History about to be made.
This is the youngest NXT Women's Championship match in history.
It's the main event of week one of the Great American Bash.
And while you're stuck on Andre Chase, I want to bring up again Rich Holland.
Because it was Rich Holland who helped Thea get this championship match.
It was Rich Holland who helped make Thea Hail believe
she could become champion.
[Booker] Yeah, [indistinct] who taught Thea Hail the ability
to be able to go out there and stand
[indistinct]
So will you discredit though, as the shoulders are down
and a quick shift in the body weight with Perez.
Perez back into it. Getting right back up.
Right back down. Another cover, another bounce.
[Booker] This thing is moving quick.
[Victor] [indistinct]
And look at Perez, who is able to get to the middle rope.
You just credit Mitch Holland, who outplayed a fire within Thea Hail.
Made her remember who she was.
You heard the pep talk earlier.
It's Rich Holland who's been in the ear of the challenger.
[Booker] [indistinct]
I give Rich Holland a lot of credit for motivating Thea Hail.
-[Booker] Okay? I say it. -[Victor] Thank you.
[crowd chanting]
-[Booker] Total control. -[Victor] NXT Universe right now,
voicing their opinion on this match-up,
where you see Perez, already with a plan.
trying to soften up a body part,
looking for maybe that floss face to wear down the shoulder.
But look at Chase on the outside.
This is what he's gotten Thea Hail ready for.
Being able to stay one step ahead of Roxanne Perez.
[Booker] What are you talking about? Roxanne is the one that is one step ahead.
[Victor] What are you-- Thea Hail, who just countered two moves,
and then followed it right back up with a big supplex!
And look who is on the retreat.
It's the champion.
Look who is on the offense, it's the challenger.
[Booker] Roxanne just contemplating her strategy, Vic.
[Victor] And this is what happens when you start to believe in yourself.
Thea Hail is in control.
Don't miss a second of the action.
Are we about to crown a new champion at the Great American Bash?
We're back live on SyFy.
Title on the line. Roll up, and a near fall.
As we almost crown a new champion here at the Great American Bash.
The Women's Championship has not changed hands in over a decade at this event.
And also, this is the youngest NXT Women's Championship match in history,
as Perez-- been in control with a big DDT.
For Thea Hail.
I looked up for my [indistinct], trying to shake the feeling back into her hand,
because as you've been watching,
Roxanne Perez has been putting on the pressure.
She's been softening up that body part to get a submission with the cross face.
Thea Hail maybe having to play a little bit of defense,
as we see two cuts in the MBP,
shouting at Thea Hail right now in this moment.
She's got to fight back.
[Booker] Thea Hail is answering all of the questions right now.
Does she belong? Can she win the big one?
-[Booker] [indistinct] -Who do you think you are?
You're just a little girl.
[Victor] There's Perez, who… We talked about it off there,
but now look at Thea Hail.
She is some sort of student. Thea Hail starting to fire up now.
And I'll give credit where credit is due.
Roxanne Perez, she's the most [indistinct] woman in NXT history,
but she is in there right now with someone who is building a lot of momentum
in this main event.
Thea Hail was so close just one year ago to capturing the women's championship.
And right now, she's even closer, Vic.
Here we go.
Got to wonder about the damage done to the arm of Thea Hail,
who's trying to scoop up, and there's the world smallest slam.
Rolling right through.
Feeling it right now, Book.
The challenger.
Oh.
No one there. Look at the champion, quickly.
The prodigy.
Crucifix-- They are falling [indistinct], but there's a cross face!
This is what Perez has been working on.
Trying to soften up the arm.
The shoulder of Thea Hail.
Thea Hail now is in a lot of trouble.
Final roll through, and finally, able to get over the bottom rope.
Very smart by Thea Hail right there.
Well, Perez beside herself, but that was smart by Thea.
Rolling right out to Andre Chase, trying to coach her up.
But t's hard to coach someone up,
when you have a champion like Roxanne Perez
throwing caution to the wind.
Roxanne Perez so controlled, like I said, Vic.
So [indistinct]-- Well, wait a minute.
What the hell?
[indistinct]
[Victor] A distraction.
The champion [indistinct] of the fall.
And the challenger is trying to make her pay.
[Booker] What the hell are you talking about?
Are we looking at the same thing?
What did chase do? Chase didn't put her hands on her.
Roxanne Perez looked at Chase. She took her eye off [indistinct]--
Thea Hail is trying to step up to the plate.
She's looking for the home run. Looking to bring gold back to Chase U.
Back to her feet.
Big mitchonoku drive! Look at that landing.
Oh, man.
Perez just kicking out.
That was close.
Take another look.
Two high impact offensive maneuvers, back-to-back.
Couldn't keep Perez down.
And we've seen the confidence grow in Chase University.
We saw Duke Cuts in the main event, spotlight a few weeks ago.
Whoa.
Did you see that?
I did see that.
Now, we gotta see if Thea Hail can fight through.
[indistinct]
Counter, back slip. Shoulder, shoulder.
Oh, man.
[indistinct]
Perez is now in trouble. The champion's in trouble.
[Booker] Got to move.
[Victor] Perez, there is nowhere for you to go.
She's gonna roll through.
But now, she rolled into a close face. Nice counter.
[indistinct]
[Victor] Rolling right back through.
And now, it's Thea with the lock back in.
She has to hold on, Book.
-[Victor] She has to hold on. -[Booker] Get up the rope.
What the hell is going on here?
Trying to roll through against Perez. [indistinct] getting away free.
The injured arm. Look at the torque.
Awkward position.
Thea now in a lot of trouble.
Do your job, Collin.
[indistinct]
-[Booker] Do your job! -Planning to fight!
NXT Universe trying to rally.
Thea trying to Ballor her way to her feet.
[Booker] Wow!
And Thea, trying to drop the champion.
She did.
She's stealing it again.
Let's go, Thea.
Cover for the champion.
No.
-[Victor] And again. -[Booker] Bro…
[Victor] Roxanne just saved her championship.
-[Booker] Come on! -[Victor] This is the main event.
Week one, Great American Bash, here on SyFy.
Booker, you are sweating through your suit.
You can see Thea Hail is getting very desperate.
Yeah. Same cn be said for Perez,
who just pumped Thea in the face!
The official didn't see it.
[Booker] [indistinct]
[Victor] That's bull crap, Book.
And you know it.
The official didn't see you fixing the ring apron in front of us.
And Perez, right back in.
Now, the champion, got caught.
Shoulder first into the post.
Looking at rich Holland.
Trying to fire up Thea Hail again.
[indistinct] And once again there it is locked in!
The Camora.
Singed in. Digging deep. And Perez has nowhere to go, Booker.
Trying to roll through. Trying to get to the bottom rope.
And able to navigate.
Both women to the outside.
Show you how much Roxanne Perez wants it, Vic.
God just wants it, Vic. She needs it.
The same can be said though, for Thea Hail.
The same thing you can say for the challenger,
who is now being decimated on the outside. Referee's discretion.
No one wants to see a disqualification.
the gloves just came off, Vic. Roxanne Perez-- Oh, yeah.
Perez catching Thea, and right back into that cross face.
And now, it's Thea Hail, who is trying to shift her weight.
Shoulders down, and a kickout.
Having to [indistinct] the whole back in the Camora--
What a mess.
This has been championship main event.
Is she gonna a tap, Booker? Is she going to get a tap?
So close is Perez trying to navigate and roll her way through--
And I don't know how many more times these two can trade holds.
What a freaking match this has been.
What a main event to the Bash.
[Booker] I'm nervous, Vic.
[Victor] You should be nervous.
But The Hail sees that bottom rope, she is just trying to continue this fight.
[indistinct] get there.
[Booker] Gotta roll, gotta roll!
[Victor] Perez wisely rolling through.
Back to her feet.
And pop rock.
[crowd] One, two, three.
[bell ringing]
[male announcer] And here is you winner
and still the NXT Women's Champion,
Roxanne Perez.
[Victor] Unreal main event, here tonight
at the Great American Bash.
And this is just week number one.
But these two women just stole the spotlight.
They saw it and took it.
This was an absolute classic between these two.
And Thea Hail, even in defeat,
showed what she was made of.
But right there, after both these women went back and forth so many times,
there you see the victory.
And it's now the time, Perez gets the respect she deserves.
Because the prodigy is the measuring stick in NXT.
Subtitles: Florencia Goya measuring stick in NXT.
