00:11:58,317 --> 00:12:00,886
-[loudly] Enough! I need to stay focused.
-Okay.

175
00:12:00,953 --> 00:12:03,155
Three months I've been wanting
this Heritage Cup back.

176
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:06,192
-Now it's time for us to go. Execute.
-I'll meet you there.

177
00:12:06,258 --> 00:12:07,626
[soft music plays]

178
00:12:07,693 --> 00:12:11,797
[Vic] What a way to start
the night here on NXT.

179
00:12:23,909 --> 00:12:28,247
Challenger is ready.
The Don has his family by his side.

180
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:33,886
Ready to defend the Heritage Cup
when we return to NXT Live on USA.

181
00:12:36,055 --> 00:12:37,957
Ladies, thank you for joining me.

182
00:12:38,023 --> 00:12:41,427
So Stevie actually had this great idea

183
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:47,066
because our women's division is stacked
and NXT is the brand of opportunity.

184
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:51,570
Next week there is going to be
a No Mercy Gauntlet Eliminator,

185
00:12:51,637 --> 00:12:55,775
and it is going to be made up of women
who have not yet had a title match.

186
00:12:55,841 --> 00:12:58,778
And whoever wins will move on
to face Roxanne Perez

187
00:12:58,844 --> 00:13:01,781
for the NXT Women's Championship
at No Mercy.

188
00:13:01,847 --> 00:13:05,751
The six competitors in the Eliminator
will be chosen at random.

189
00:13:05,818 --> 00:13:07,953
Another one of my great ideas.

190
00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:09,021
Okay.

191
00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:11,323
Here we go. It was an okay roll.

192
00:13:11,390 --> 00:13:17,096
[inaudible]

193
00:13:17,163 --> 00:13:20,533
-Oh, give me a break.
-I could do better.

194
00:13:20,599 --> 00:13:23,536
-First up we have--
-Stevie. Backup.

195
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:27,206
-Renzy.
-Oh yeah!

196
00:13:27,273 --> 00:13:30,876
Nice. Good job.
Hey, there it is. There you go.

197
00:13:31,744 --> 00:13:35,181
Stone Galva, face. Okay, Adriana Rizzo.

198
00:13:35,247 --> 00:13:37,049
-Where is she?
-Oh, Josh.

199
00:13:37,116 --> 00:13:41,220
-She went out with Tony D for his match.
-Oh, sure, yeah, okay, I'll tell her.

200
00:13:41,287 --> 00:13:45,124
Just let her know one of you,
yep, more competent. And last one.

201
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:47,459
For now we have Sol Ruca.

202
00:13:47,526 --> 00:13:49,295
-Woo.
-Sick.

203
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:53,632
-Stevie, this was great. I can't--
-Hold on. No, hold on.

204
00:13:53,699 --> 00:13:56,302
I can't listen to this anymore.
This wasn't Stevie's idea.

205
00:13:56,368 --> 00:13:58,037
-This was my idea.
-How dare you!

206
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:00,172
I came up with this right out of my mouth.

207
00:14:00,239 --> 00:14:01,540
[bell rings]

208
00:14:01,607 --> 00:14:05,110
The following contest is for

209
00:14:05,177 --> 00:14:11,550
the NXT Heritage Cup Championship.

210
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:15,421
Introducing the challenger,

211
00:14:15,487 --> 00:14:19,024
representing No Quarter Catch Crew,

212
00:14:19,091 --> 00:14:24,396
Charlie Dempsy.

213
00:14:27,233 --> 00:14:29,068
And his opponent,

214
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:34,840
he is the NXT Heritage Cup Champion,

215
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:38,277
The Don of NXT,

216
00:14:38,344 --> 00:14:43,916
Tony D'Angelo.

217
00:14:43,983 --> 00:14:45,885
[Vic] Booker, we got a lot to digest.

218
00:14:45,951 --> 00:14:49,255
First 20 minutes of NXT this week,
everything that just transpired.

219
00:14:49,321 --> 00:14:51,223
I can't believe what Wes Lee just did.

220
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:53,993
We got a Heritage Cup match
that's ready to take place.

221
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:58,264
We gotta remember it was Tony D'Angelo
who defeated Charlie Dempsey

222
00:14:58,330 --> 00:15:02,468
back on May 14th
to capture the Heritage Cup.

223
00:15:02,534 --> 00:15:05,905
Not to mention the rules of this matchup.
Six-three minute rounds,

224
00:15:05,971 --> 00:15:08,674
pinfall submission,
you earn a decision with a victory.

225
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:10,476
First one to two decisions.

226
00:15:10,542 --> 00:15:13,946
And there's Tony D right on top
of Charlie Dempsey.

227
00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:17,850
And then we got to remember that it was
The Don who made the deal last week,

228
00:15:17,916 --> 00:15:20,119
[inaudible] this opportunity.

229
00:15:20,185 --> 00:15:23,022
He kind of sweetened the deal
and made this match himself.

230
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:25,824
[Booker T] He did.
Right now The Don is grinding.

231
00:15:25,891 --> 00:15:30,029
But you saw Charlie Dempsey warming up
for this competition here tonight.

232
00:15:30,095 --> 00:15:33,766
He's fully ready to go
to get back that Heritage Cup.

233
00:15:33,832 --> 00:15:35,067
You gotta love it.

234
00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:37,102
[Vic] And Wren Sinclair,
who's on the outside,

235
00:15:37,169 --> 00:15:40,506
just found out she'll be in next week's
No Mercy Gauntlet Eliminator,

236
00:15:40,572 --> 00:15:42,775
as did Rizzo, who is not aware of that.

237
00:15:42,841 --> 00:15:47,379
Here ringside, both women in that No Mercy
Gauntlet Eliminator to challenge Roxanne

238
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:51,583
in Denver September 1st for the next
Premium Live event, which is No Mercy.

239
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:54,787
But as we are 60 seconds about
into this round, number one,

240
00:15:54,853 --> 00:15:57,957
it's Dempsey trying to take control
of this matchup.

241
00:15:58,023 --> 00:16:00,092
And, Book, truly is a nice submission.

242
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,728
Almost a dragon sleeper
from Tony D'Angelo.

243
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:05,831
Why does this cup mean
so much to Charlie Dempsey?

244
00:16:05,898 --> 00:16:08,267
[Booker] Because it's a part
of his heritage, Vic.

245
00:16:08,334 --> 00:16:12,104
I mean, he's one of the guys
that won this Championship

246
00:16:12,171 --> 00:16:15,107
and now he wants to get it back
just one more time.

247
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:19,311
And you gotta understand, Vic,
it's the heritage of it.

248
00:16:19,378 --> 00:16:20,646
Just that, the heritage.

249
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:23,082
[Vic] Well, he would become
only the second man,

250
00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:25,951
that being Charlie Dempsey,
to hold the cup more than once.

251
00:16:26,018 --> 00:16:29,221
This is the first of three
Championship matches here ten,

252
00:16:29,288 --> 00:16:33,425
of course, Axiom Frazer to defend the NXT
tag titles later tonight against Chase U.

253
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:36,929
But there is a nice submission,
and that would be a decision for Dempsey,

254
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:38,397
and it was quite the…

255
00:16:38,464 --> 00:16:41,400
Well, almost overpowering.
Dempsey was… D'Angelo.

256
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:44,403
He certainly did right there.
Ninety seconds into round one.

257
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:47,773
[Booker] The Don is overpowering right
now. Whoa. This is AD sets.

258
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,041
[Vic] Oh, wait a minute.

259
00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:52,211
I think The Don was looking
maybe for that spine buster,

260
00:16:52,277 --> 00:16:53,479
but what a counter by Dempsey.

261
00:16:53,545 --> 00:16:56,215
[Booker] One thing about Dempsey,
he's going to rely on his base,

262
00:16:56,281 --> 00:16:58,417
and that is truly, truly wrestling.

263
00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:02,087
He's a precision tactician
in the middle of that squared circle.

264
00:17:02,154 --> 00:17:04,957
[Vic] Again there's a big difference
between this matchup

265
00:17:05,023 --> 00:17:07,993
and the Intercontinental Championship
match on Raw between Braun and Sammy,

266
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:09,395
which was two out of three falls.

267
00:17:09,461 --> 00:17:12,131
There's that 10 second rest period
in between rounds,

268
00:17:12,197 --> 00:17:15,467
as we are now 55 seconds away
from the end of round number one.

269
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:19,605
How crucial are those seconds going to be
coming up in between rounds?

270
00:17:19,671 --> 00:17:21,540
[Booker] No, no. One thing about it.

271
00:17:21,607 --> 00:17:24,810
You got both teams
that have great corners.

272
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,879
[Vic] Shoulders down. Dempsey, nice job.

273
00:17:26,945 --> 00:17:29,181
Lifting that shoulder up
at the last moment again

274
00:17:29,248 --> 00:17:30,716
looking for another submission.

275
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:33,118
This is what you said
is Dempsey's wheelhouse

276
00:17:33,185 --> 00:17:36,755
because not only he's looking for
a triangle, he also has that armlock

277
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:38,891
where he could transition into an armbar.

278
00:17:38,957 --> 00:17:42,628
-And you see that Don now is stressing--
-[Booker] The test match right now.

279
00:17:42,694 --> 00:17:44,530
Whoa. It's pretty even.

280
00:17:44,596 --> 00:17:51,170
But right now, Charlie Dempsey is going to
his special welders down. Whoa. So close.

281
00:17:52,171 --> 00:17:55,107
[Vic] And right back in another takedown.
Rolling right through.

282
00:17:55,174 --> 00:17:57,876
Thirteen seconds
and over power with a backdrop

283
00:17:57,943 --> 00:18:00,779
is Tony D'Angelo with seven seconds.

284
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:04,249
Now Don charging
in five seconds down to four.

285
00:18:04,316 --> 00:18:10,856
Dempsey up, over. And this round will end.
The Don somewhat saved by the bell.

286
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:13,926
[Booker] That was an appetizer, man.
That was the appetizer.

287
00:18:13,992 --> 00:18:17,963
I don't think anybody was really going
for anything big at this point.

288
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:21,433
I mean, it's going to be weathering
the storm. Who's going to…

289
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,771
Who's going to weather that storm?
Getting those deep, deep waters. Join me.

290
00:18:25,838 --> 00:18:27,339
Join me in and drown him, man.

291
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:29,675
[Vic] I want to talk about
Wren Sinclair there,

292
00:18:29,741 --> 00:18:33,278
who we saw her kind of wake up Tavion
at the last Heritage matchup we had.

293
00:18:33,345 --> 00:18:35,447
How will Wren change
the No Quarter Catch Crew

294
00:18:35,514 --> 00:18:37,416
now that she is the official member?

295
00:18:37,483 --> 00:18:42,588
[Booker] She's a motivator because
having that woman's touch as a butter,

296
00:18:42,654 --> 00:18:45,424
just like the Rizzo,
she brings something to the table.

297
00:18:45,491 --> 00:18:48,961
[Vic] Shot by our official as…

298
00:18:49,027 --> 00:18:52,097
It was The Don again trying to look for
another counter into a pin

299
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:54,099
and a vicious knee right into the ribs.

300
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:57,603
As you see, Wren looking on Rizzo
right here in front of us again.

301
00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:59,304
As we just mentioned moments ago,

302
00:18:59,371 --> 00:19:02,875
we found out three of the women that'll be
in that No Mercy Eliminator Gauntlet

303
00:19:02,941 --> 00:19:05,310
and something else that Gauntlet matches--

304
00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:09,448
It's for women who have not yet had
an opportunity at the NXT women's title.

305
00:19:09,515 --> 00:19:13,452
So Perez is going to have a brand new
fresh opponent, as she has said.

306
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:15,354
[Booker] What happened?
What happened to her?

307
00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:18,157
[Vic] Shoulders down.
Oh, almost a half second away from--

308
00:19:18,223 --> 00:19:20,259
[Booker] What happened
to earning your opportunity?

309
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:22,761
-[Vic] They're going to earn it in the 11.
-[Booker] What happened to them?

310
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:25,497
[Vic] Rolling right back through
is Dempsey looking--

311
00:19:25,564 --> 00:19:28,233
Forget about it. And oh, he got all of it.

312
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:32,171
And the first decision in round two.

313
00:19:32,237 --> 00:19:35,674
[Mike Rome] Tony D'Angelo
has scored the first fall.

314
00:19:35,741 --> 00:19:38,944
[Vic] They'll miss a second of action
as this matchup continues.

315
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:40,412
Who's leaving with the cup?

316
00:19:42,581 --> 00:19:45,517
[Vic] Back live on NXT.
Heritage Cup is on the line.

317
00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:49,121
D'Angelo up one fall to none here
on Charlie Dempsey.

318
00:19:49,187 --> 00:19:52,124
As you can see,
20 seconds left in round number 3.

319
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:55,561
And right now you gotta imagine
for Dempsey, he's feeling the pressure.

320
00:19:55,627 --> 00:20:00,098
The sharp elbow to the jaw of D'Angelo
right through trying to get the victory.

321
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:04,269
With 10 seconds to the kickout by the nod
is now inside the final 10.

322
00:20:04,336 --> 00:20:06,205
At 7. It's at 6.

323
00:20:06,271 --> 00:20:10,876
Dempsey swinging away at 5, at 4
to put it away with a back slide in

324
00:20:10,943 --> 00:20:14,179
-getting saved by the--
-[Booker] Hey, wait a minute.

325
00:20:14,246 --> 00:20:16,715
If there's a disqualification,
this is over.

326
00:20:16,782 --> 00:20:19,017
This is going to be
the referee's discretion.

327
00:20:19,084 --> 00:20:22,254
[inaudible]

328
00:20:22,321 --> 00:20:25,891
[Booker] I don't think he heard the bill.

329
00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:28,293
-You got to do this for us.
-I'm doing it.

330
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:33,565
I know, but you got to do it better.
Just like Wren did the Tavion. I mean.

331
00:20:33,632 --> 00:20:37,436
You're gonna do this.
You're gonna bring us at the top.

332
00:20:37,502 --> 00:20:42,708
[inaudible]

333
00:20:42,774 --> 00:20:43,709
[bell tolls]

334
00:20:43,775 --> 00:20:45,944
[Vic] Should this be
the final attempt, by the way,

335
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:48,013
for the No Quarter
from behind to win the--

336
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,049
That would have won the match,
that would have retained the cup.

337
00:20:51,116 --> 00:20:54,753
[Booker] I wouldn't say final attempt or
anything like that, but if Dempsy loses,

338
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:57,522
he goes to the bat of the lineup.
She don't want that.

339
00:20:57,589 --> 00:21:00,525
[Vic] Well, look Tony.
Tony D'Angelo's confident as ever.

340
00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:04,062
He has grown appreciation for the cup
as Dempsey right back in.

341
00:21:04,129 --> 00:21:06,765
And another uppercut.
You got to go back to that knee.

342
00:21:06,832 --> 00:21:10,202
Some would say it was on the bell,
some would say it was after bell.

343
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:14,439
The referee is being very lenient.
Dallas Irvin in this moment.

344
00:21:14,506 --> 00:21:19,011
But what a clothesline from The Don
who exploded out of the corner.

345
00:21:19,077 --> 00:21:21,213
[Booker] Question Vic.
And they say, you know,

346
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,317
when you become cup champion, Heritage Cup
champion, it makes you about 30% better.

347
00:21:25,384 --> 00:21:28,820
See that in The Don
and it's in ring powers right now.

348
00:21:28,887 --> 00:21:31,690
Just measuring Charlie
with those big shots.

349
00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:34,393
[Vic] D'Angelo needs one more decision,
you know,

350
00:21:34,459 --> 00:21:36,995
does The Don need to have his issue
with The No Quarter?

351
00:21:37,062 --> 00:21:39,931
Catch clean sleep with the fishes?
Does he have to put it to bed tonight?

352
00:21:39,998 --> 00:21:44,603
[Booker] The last man standing
is the man that wins the fall.

353
00:21:44,670 --> 00:21:46,371
That's what it's all about, man.

354
00:21:46,438 --> 00:21:49,041
[Vic] Sixty seconds off the clock
here in round four.

355
00:21:49,107 --> 00:21:51,910
Time becoming the factor
for Charlie Dempsey.

356
00:21:51,977 --> 00:21:54,579
Time the best friend of Tony D'Angelo.

357
00:21:54,646 --> 00:22:00,285
But also would be the second decision in
a kickout. Nice power slam from D'Angelo.

358
00:22:00,352 --> 00:22:04,790
And Charlie Dempsey right now seems
to be worse for wear as looking for--

359
00:22:04,856 --> 00:22:08,026
Forget about it. And inside cradle.
Inside cradle by Dempsey.

360
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:12,464
D'Angelo just able to kick out with 90
seconds remaining here in round four.

361
00:22:12,531 --> 00:22:15,233
A nice German suplex from The Dimes.

362
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:17,135
[Booker] Power shots right now.

363
00:22:17,202 --> 00:22:21,840
All big power shots by the Dunne trying to
finish the thing. Just got caught.

364
00:22:21,907 --> 00:22:23,308
Got caught there by Charlie.

365
00:22:23,375 --> 00:22:24,910
[Vic] Standing switch by Dempsey.

366
00:22:24,976 --> 00:22:27,212
Who's the challenger?
Looking for his first decision.

367
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:29,648
Of course,
Dempsey has held the cup in the past.

368
00:22:29,715 --> 00:22:33,118
It's what almost has become his obsession
over the last three months.

369
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:35,887
Heads into the post or,
excuse me, into the turnbuckle.

370
00:22:35,954 --> 00:22:38,990
Look at that cover shoulders down
and The Don could kick out.

371
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:43,195
-[Booker] That was smooth, Charlie.
-[Vic] Dempsey has scored the second fall.

372
00:22:43,261 --> 00:22:47,065
And go back to the counter where
The Don went into that top turnbuckle.

373
00:22:47,132 --> 00:22:49,401
That was wise of Charlie Dempsey.

374
00:22:49,468 --> 00:22:53,438
As you see, both these competitors now,
they are breathing heavy.

375
00:22:53,505 --> 00:22:55,273
We are tied at one.

376
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:57,642
And now it's not going to
come down to skill, Book.

377
00:22:57,709 --> 00:22:59,745
It's going to come down to
who wants it more.

378
00:22:59,811 --> 00:23:03,148
Who will get themselves the victory
for that Heritage Cup.

379
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:05,317
And D'Angelo right out of the gates
here in round five.

380
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:09,521
[Booker] Who's going to have that
mental attitude to just stay in the fight?

381
00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:13,091
Because that's what it comes down to--
a fight at the end of the night.

382
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:15,127
-Here we go.
-[Vic] It certainly is breaking down.

383
00:23:15,193 --> 00:23:17,629
Another takedown by Dempsey.
Kick out by The Don.

384
00:23:17,696 --> 00:23:19,598
And look at Dempsey trying to hold on.

385
00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:24,803
And this is now turning in to a war
in this matchup between these two.

386
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:29,608
But there is that spine buster
we've seen D'Angelo win in the past

387
00:23:29,674 --> 00:23:32,377
to the kickout by Dempsey.

388
00:23:32,444 --> 00:23:34,813
Thirty seconds off the clock here
in round five.

389
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,448
Again, there's only six rounds.

390
00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:39,918
Dempsey trying to swing
at this point. So is The Dimes.

391
00:23:39,985 --> 00:23:40,986
[crowd chanting]

392
00:23:41,052 --> 00:23:44,189
[Vic] Take a look. Both these men
right now. Puffin and Puffin.

393
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:47,359
Nice northern light suplex
with a bridge and a kickout.

394
00:23:47,426 --> 00:23:50,896
[Booker] A little bit different. I see
Dempsey just preserving his energy

395
00:23:50,962 --> 00:23:54,032
in this matchup.
He's smooth as silk right now, Vic.

396
00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:57,669
[Vic] The butterfly connected counter
though by The Dimes.

397
00:23:57,736 --> 00:24:03,742
Charging back in [inaudible]

398
00:24:03,809 --> 00:24:06,144
The Don trying to block the best he can.

399
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:08,447
Dempsey right now,
The Don able to roll through.

400
00:24:08,513 --> 00:24:12,083
The legs weren't hooked, but look
what he transitioned into a triangle.

401
00:24:12,150 --> 00:24:14,553
Shoulders down.
Dempsey keeping that shoulder up.

402
00:24:14,619 --> 00:24:19,224
And now elbow after elbow, strike
after strike. powerbomb from The Don.

403
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:23,161
Ninety seconds left in round five.
Booker, this is not it. At one.

404
00:24:23,228 --> 00:24:28,533
What a way to kick off NXT, the first
of three Championship matches tonight.

405
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,603
[inaudible]

406
00:24:31,670 --> 00:24:35,607
[Booker] Oh, right now. Oh, wait a minute.
Oh, got caught again.

407
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:39,911
Let me tell you right now, Dempsey seems
to be a step ahead at The Don.

408
00:24:39,978 --> 00:24:42,714
[Vic] What the hell.
He tried to run interference.

409
00:24:42,781 --> 00:24:45,150
The Don able to knock him down.
Wait, what?

410
00:24:45,217 --> 00:24:48,453
Hey, what are you doing?

411
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,522
[Vic] Oh, you get the assist, I suppose.

412
00:24:50,589 --> 00:24:52,724
[Booker] It's not a DQ. No, it's not a DQ.

413
00:24:52,791 --> 00:24:55,193
[Vic] Wait! Sinclair!

414
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:56,528
[crowd cheering]

415
00:24:56,595 --> 00:25:00,699
[Vic] The referee was distracted by
Stacks on the outside with board.

416
00:25:00,765 --> 00:25:04,536
-Dempsey back into the ring. Butterfly.
-[Booker] That's it.

417
00:25:04,603 --> 00:25:06,872
-[Vic] And we got a new champion.
-[bell rings]

418
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:08,306
[crowd cheering]

419
00:25:08,373 --> 00:25:13,678
[Mike] Here is your winner and the new NXT

420
00:25:14,312 --> 00:25:20,452
here it is called Champion,
Charlie Dempsy.

421
00:25:21,987 --> 00:25:23,922
[Vic] I hate to give you credit.

422
00:25:23,989 --> 00:25:28,193
You said Wren Sinclair
could be a difference maker

423
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:30,595
for the No Quarter Catch Crew.

424
00:25:31,596 --> 00:25:37,302
And right here, she tried
to wake up Charlie Dempsey.

425
00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:39,938
That put Dempsey back into this matchup.

426
00:25:40,005 --> 00:25:43,642
Because right there,
that little wake up call helped propel him

427
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:49,781
to the decision that tied this at one.
As this matchup will continue right here.

428
00:25:49,848 --> 00:25:54,586
Bam. Pulling the rug right out
from under Tony D'Angelo

429
00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:58,356
for Charlie Dempsey
to get right into the matchup.

430
00:25:58,423 --> 00:26:00,525
Right back in, the referee didn't see it.

431
00:26:00,592 --> 00:26:05,063
And Charlie Dempsey since
May 14th has been on a mission

432
00:26:05,130 --> 00:26:08,867
and now becomes the second superstar
to hold the Heritage Cup more than once,

433
00:26:08,934 --> 00:26:13,371
as the cup is back
in the No Quarter Catch Crew.

434
00:26:13,438 --> 00:26:17,242
[inaudible]

435
00:26:17,309 --> 00:26:21,012
Tatum put up a good fight, but you proved
why you're a North American champ.

436
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:25,283
-Thanks, Lola.
-Clearly, she isn't taking it well.

437
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:29,020
I'd love to be able to help her,
but I don't know where we stand right now

438
00:26:29,087 --> 00:26:31,723
after this whole Wendy situation
and just everything.

439
00:26:31,790 --> 00:26:34,626
Besides, you know, Tatum can be a little--

440
00:26:34,693 --> 00:26:36,695
-I got it.
-Okay.

441
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:40,565
I feel like I'm really good. I feel--

442
00:26:40,632 --> 00:26:43,268
Que te pasa? It's gonna be okay, Mama.

443
00:26:43,335 --> 00:26:45,270
I have nothing. Kalani's not my friend.

444
00:26:45,337 --> 00:26:47,872
Wendy's not my friend,
and neither are you.

445
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:51,009
-So what do you want?
-Excuse me?

446
00:26:51,676 --> 00:26:56,848
Oh, I'm sorry. Not all of us can be
popular and cool MMA fighters

447
00:26:56,915 --> 00:27:01,519
-that have had everything handed to them.
-Oh, handed to me?

448
00:27:01,586 --> 00:27:03,722
I don't know where you're going with this.

449
00:27:04,522 --> 00:27:05,690
I'll show you.

450
00:27:08,994 --> 00:27:12,597
I'm a new age Native American striving
to go beyond the stereotype.

451
00:27:12,664 --> 00:27:16,534
But I refuse to assimilate
to the expectations of the world outside

452
00:27:16,601 --> 00:27:17,936
of the reservation.

453
00:27:18,003 --> 00:27:20,438
DJing and my music is
a key part of who I am.

454
00:27:20,505 --> 00:27:22,574
And dancing is an important part
of my culture.

455
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,611
Lexis King doesn't have
the respect nor the brains

456
00:27:26,678 --> 00:27:28,113
to understand.

457
00:27:28,179 --> 00:27:32,517
[inaudible]

458
00:27:33,752 --> 00:27:35,086
Music is important.

459
00:27:36,721 --> 00:27:39,724
It's got to be the right kind of music.

460
00:27:39,791 --> 00:27:42,761
Eddie Thorpe's music is a disgrace.

461
00:27:42,827 --> 00:27:46,831
He's playing that demonic stuff,
that evil EDM.

462
00:27:46,898 --> 00:27:51,536
And I did his tribe a favor
by smashing his hand,

463
00:27:53,271 --> 00:27:55,940
and now he wants another shot at the King.

464
00:27:56,007 --> 00:27:59,844
Eddie Thorpe, you are as moronic
as the music you create.

465
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:05,316
[energetic music plays]

466
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:12,524
[Vic] And Booker, get ready.
Cause this one is personal.

467
00:28:13,591 --> 00:28:14,426
[bell rings]

468
00:28:14,492 --> 00:28:16,394
[Vic] The following contestant.

469
00:28:17,162 --> 00:28:21,399
We need to get Mike Rome.
Lexis Kings out here.

470
00:28:21,466 --> 00:28:23,635
-[Booker] Ring the bell.
-[Vic] Ring the bell.

471
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:25,670
Oh, yeah, you're all smiles over here.

472
00:28:25,737 --> 00:28:31,142
That's crap, Booker, and you know it.
The bell hasn't even sounded yet.

473
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:34,079
Thorpe's been attacked.
King, of course able to--

474
00:28:34,145 --> 00:28:37,782
-Hey, look at this. King fight right back.
-[Booker] Welcome by any thought.

475
00:28:37,849 --> 00:28:40,685
-Man, I respect this guy so much.
-[Vic] Oh, now you respect.

476
00:28:40,752 --> 00:28:41,953
[Booker] He's truly the king
of the underground.

477
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:43,054
Take nothing away from it.

478
00:28:43,121 --> 00:28:45,223
But he's in the ring
with the TV star, man.

479
00:28:45,290 --> 00:28:48,827
I want to point out Eddie Thorpe's
right hand and wrist.

480
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:51,896
That is the hand and wrist
that was attacked by Lexis King.

481
00:28:51,963 --> 00:28:53,364
Thorpe with a brace on and--

482
00:28:53,431 --> 00:28:56,935
Oh, I don't know if using
that right hand was the wisest point,

483
00:28:57,001 --> 00:29:00,405
because right now that just opened
the door back up for Lexis King.

484
00:29:00,472 --> 00:29:03,808
What is Lexis King's issues with
the locker room? What's his issue?

485
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:06,044
-[Booker] What are you talking about?
-[Vic] Thorpe.

486
00:29:06,111 --> 00:29:09,114
[Booker] His issue with Eddie,
man, like I said, I like Eddie.

487
00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:10,048
I like him a lot.

488
00:29:10,115 --> 00:29:12,517
But that music, man,
that techno, pop, I hate it.

489
00:29:12,584 --> 00:29:15,487
Just a little bit of rock and roll.
That's the only thing Lexis deliver.

490
00:29:15,553 --> 00:29:18,623
Just a little bit of rock and roll.
That's what the TV star--

491
00:29:18,690 --> 00:29:20,992
That's what it's all about.
Ridge, come on, man.

492
00:29:21,059 --> 00:29:23,094
[Vic] I'll tell you
what his biggest issue is.

493
00:29:23,161 --> 00:29:26,764
It's a half inch underneath his nose,
and now he's bending back to digits,

494
00:29:26,831 --> 00:29:28,633
focusing on that injured hand.

495
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:30,869
And I want to talk about Eddie Thorpe,

496
00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:33,638
because music
is such a big part of Thorpe's life.

497
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:35,707
King doesn't like it.
It's not for everyone.

498
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:38,243
I get it,
but it's a personal shot King took.

499
00:29:38,309 --> 00:29:40,779
He attacked Thorpe at gigs.
He injured his hands.

500
00:29:40,845 --> 00:29:44,382
He took away Eddie Thorpe's reason,

501
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:46,718
the reason why
he gets up every single day.

502
00:29:46,784 --> 00:29:49,454
His outlet, so to speak.
Why? He's very simple.

503
00:29:49,521 --> 00:29:51,623
[Booker] All he had to do
is change his tune.

504
00:29:51,689 --> 00:29:53,224
I mean, little Guns N' Roses.

505
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:56,728
-Is that so hard? Is that so hard?
-[Vic] You listen to Guns N' Roses?

506
00:29:56,794 --> 00:29:59,364
-[Booker] Sometimes. Yeah.
-[Vic] Sweet child.

507
00:29:59,430 --> 00:30:03,134
Deep down I think it's just jealousy.
That's what it is.

508
00:30:03,201 --> 00:30:08,039
Lexis King is jealous of Eddie Thorpe,
who just hit King with a big backdrop.

509
00:30:08,106 --> 00:30:12,343
People gravitate towards Thorpe.
They don't gravitate towards King.

510
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:16,381
[Booker] No, I'm not going to sit here
and say anything negative about Eddie.

511
00:30:16,447 --> 00:30:18,817
I love this guy.
Like I said, he is truly a man's man.

512
00:30:18,883 --> 00:30:21,452
He will get in there
and fight even with a bad hand.

513
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:24,189
I don't know if it's broken or not,
but this shows me,

514
00:30:24,255 --> 00:30:26,491
it tells me a whole lot about Thorpe.

515
00:30:26,558 --> 00:30:30,261
[Vic] You can respect Thorpe for striving
to go beyond the stereotypes

516
00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:33,198
-to break down the world.
-[Booker] Yes, I can do that.

517
00:30:33,264 --> 00:30:37,368
[Vic] Lexis King doesn't care about that.
Lexis King doesn't respect that.

518
00:30:37,435 --> 00:30:39,103
[Booker] You know why? Because King

519
00:30:39,170 --> 00:30:41,105
he's not here to make friends
or anything like that.

520
00:30:41,172 --> 00:30:44,842
He doesn't need buddies hanging rolls
or anything like that. He's a star.

521
00:30:44,909 --> 00:30:48,880
He's the-- he's the guy with
the entourage. That's what it's all about.

522
00:30:48,947 --> 00:30:52,550
[Vic] Well, Eddie Thorpe, he's all about
self expression. Point blank.

523
00:30:52,617 --> 00:30:56,855
King took that ability away for him
to do that for the time being. And Eddie--

524
00:30:56,921 --> 00:30:58,089
Nice step German.

525
00:30:58,156 --> 00:31:02,727
Beautiful combination,
folding King right up like an accordion.

526
00:31:02,794 --> 00:31:06,130
And now there comes Eddie Thorpe measuring

527
00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:10,001
and charging in
right into the heart of Lexis King.

528
00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:11,269
[crowd cheering]

529
00:31:11,336 --> 00:31:13,438
[Vic] Eddie Thorpe with a lot on his mind.

530
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:17,809
Oh, how sweet it would be tonight
for Eddie Thorpe--

531
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:20,178
King able to block for the moment,
turning right back around

532
00:31:20,245 --> 00:31:21,246
and right back to that.

533
00:31:21,312 --> 00:31:24,649
[Booker] It's no quitting Thorpe,
but you gotta understand, he…

534
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:26,851
He's competing with a handicap right now.

535
00:31:26,918 --> 00:31:32,156
And trust me, trust me,
Lexis King, he's got a bullseye on it.

536
00:31:32,223 --> 00:31:35,059
Rock a bar, baby. Rock a bye.

537
00:31:35,126 --> 00:31:40,698
[Booker] And King hits the coronation
and crowns Thorpe--

538
00:31:40,765 --> 00:31:41,599
[bell rings]

539
00:31:41,666 --> 00:31:43,034
[inaudible]

540
00:31:43,101 --> 00:31:48,239
[Mike] There is your winner, Lexis King.

541
00:31:48,306 --> 00:31:53,144
[Vic] You told me, but--
Party later. Handful of chapstick.

542
00:31:58,016 --> 00:32:01,019
Okay, Petey, let's talk about it.

543
00:32:01,085 --> 00:32:05,456
You say I haven't figured you out yet,
but I will.

544
00:32:05,523 --> 00:32:07,659
Because Williams solves problems.

545
00:32:07,725 --> 00:32:09,560
I fix issues.

546
00:32:09,627 --> 00:32:12,830
Problem. Best friend stabs me in the back.

547
00:32:12,897 --> 00:32:18,236
Solution. I walk out of the biggest show
in NXT history with my hand raised.

548
00:32:18,303 --> 00:32:21,072
High issue? I can't defeat the Mad Dragon.

549
00:32:21,139 --> 00:32:25,410
Solution. I become the new NXT champion.

550
00:32:25,476 --> 00:32:29,847
And the truth is, Pete, we may be
even more similar than you realize.

551
00:32:29,914 --> 00:32:31,149
Yeah, I heard your story.

552
00:32:31,215 --> 00:32:33,785
How you got jumped
at 18 years old on the bus.

553
00:32:33,851 --> 00:32:37,855
Well, I got jumped at 18 too,
except I was making plays.

554
00:32:37,922 --> 00:32:41,192
Turns out the upperclassmen don't like
when the freshman comes in

555
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:42,226
and he falls early.

556
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:45,263
So some teammates decided
to throw rocks at my car,

557
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:46,998
but they didn't know I was on the inside.

558
00:32:47,065 --> 00:32:49,100
Then they took off
running to the dorm room,

559
00:32:49,167 --> 00:32:50,702
and I followed them up there.

560
00:32:50,768 --> 00:32:53,738
Then I popped off,
just like Trick Williams always does.

561
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:57,809
Running up on three dudes in a small room.
It didn't make no sense.

562
00:32:57,875 --> 00:32:59,477
Yeah, it didn't go well for me.

563
00:32:59,544 --> 00:33:03,781
But let's just say I figured it out.
By the end of that year,

564
00:33:03,848 --> 00:33:07,085
each one of them dudes took an L.
Believe that.

565
00:33:07,151 --> 00:33:09,020
And I may not have the NXT title,

566
00:33:09,087 --> 00:33:11,990
but I'm still looking to be
the man here at NXT.

567
00:33:12,290 --> 00:33:14,492
So, Petey,
I ain't coming to you for advice.

568
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:16,494
I'm coming to you for a rematch.

569
00:33:18,763 --> 00:33:22,133
One loss isn't gonna scare me away.
The one way or another,

570
00:33:23,601 --> 00:33:25,503
I'm gonna figure your ass out.

571
00:33:27,939 --> 00:33:31,709
[cheers and applause]

572
00:33:31,776 --> 00:33:34,212
So, Pete, after what we just saw,

573
00:33:34,278 --> 00:33:36,414
are we getting Dunne vs Williams,
round two?

574
00:33:36,481 --> 00:33:38,549
Do you think Trick deserves a rematch?

575
00:33:38,616 --> 00:33:40,017
Yeah. No chance.

576
00:33:40,084 --> 00:33:44,088
Because last week I proved he has
a whole lot of figuring out still to do.

577
00:33:44,155 --> 00:33:46,357
Men like Trick like to bitch and moan,

578
00:33:46,424 --> 00:33:49,293
and men like me,
we shrug it off and move forward.

579
00:33:50,061 --> 00:33:55,266
Speaking of which, I'm moving forward
to the NXT Championship.

580
00:33:56,534 --> 00:33:57,535
Thanks.

581
00:33:58,603 --> 00:34:00,938
[inaudible chatter]

582
00:34:05,143 --> 00:34:08,813
Right, because I wasn't
a Division 1 baseball player.

583
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,915
Excuse you, it's basketball.

584
00:34:10,982 --> 00:34:13,484
And how are you so bitter
at all the athletes

585
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:16,821
when Jasmine was a former D1
soccer player as well?

586
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:19,323
-Thank you.
-What's your point, Lash?

587
00:34:19,390 --> 00:34:23,261
All the women in the locker room
should be following in Jasmine's footsteps

588
00:34:23,327 --> 00:34:26,330
and see JC&I as their influence.

589
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:30,301
I don't see you or you as anything
but my opponent.

590
00:34:30,368 --> 00:34:33,304
If we're in this Gauntlet match,
I know that's right.

591
00:34:34,205 --> 00:34:35,072
Bye.

592
00:34:35,139 --> 00:34:35,973
[crowd cheering]

593
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:36,941
Uno. Dos.

594
00:34:37,008 --> 00:34:40,144
[Vic] Oh, we've seen three women decided.
Still three to come.

595
00:34:40,211 --> 00:34:43,714
Six women who have never had
an opportunity, will have one next week.

596
00:34:43,781 --> 00:34:44,615
[bell rings]

597
00:34:44,682 --> 00:34:47,885
[Mike] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

598
00:34:47,952 --> 00:34:50,855
Introducing first, Lola Vice.

599
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:53,458
[Vic] While Vice tried to
show compassion earlier,

600
00:34:53,524 --> 00:34:56,694
now she's looking to settle
into the ring Next.

601
00:34:58,062 --> 00:34:59,664
[energetic music plays]

602
00:34:59,730 --> 00:35:01,399
[Vic] Back live on NXT.

603
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,936
[Mike] Tatum Paxley.

604
00:35:05,002 --> 00:35:06,204
[Vic] Quite the battle.

605
00:35:06,270 --> 00:35:07,505
It was Tatum at last week

606
00:35:07,572 --> 00:35:09,807
for the women's
North American title and Book,

607
00:35:09,874 --> 00:35:13,511
We're being joined by the champion,
Kalani Jordan.

608
00:35:13,578 --> 00:35:17,482
Welcome. Thank you, Vic and Book.
I'm so excited to be on commentary.

609
00:35:17,548 --> 00:35:18,516
[Booker] Yes.

610
00:35:18,583 --> 00:35:21,552
[Vic] About time you were excited
Kelani joined us here.

611
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:24,288
-[Booker] The first history maker.
-[Vic] History maker.

612
00:35:24,355 --> 00:35:27,225
Hey, by the way,
congratulations on your victory last week.

613
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:29,393
[Kalani Jordan] Thank you.
Tatum, she's awesome.

614
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:32,563
She's a stud athlete.
I'm sure I'll be seeing her again soon.

615
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:35,566
[Vic] Well, there seems to be a lot
going through her mind,

616
00:35:35,633 --> 00:35:37,768
maybe more than normal as we saw earlier.

617
00:35:37,835 --> 00:35:40,905
And Brooker, wasn't Vice
just trying to help her earlier?

618
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:43,741
[Booker] Just trying to give her
a little bit of good advice?

619
00:35:43,808 --> 00:35:46,377
I think that's what
didn't turn out too well, though.

620
00:35:46,444 --> 00:35:49,580
[Vic] Words of encouragement,
so to speak, is what Lola--

621
00:35:49,647 --> 00:35:50,982
Whoa, Lola, nice crucifix.

622
00:35:51,048 --> 00:35:53,951
Tatum able to kick out Connor
right back into a pin in her own right.

623
00:35:54,018 --> 00:35:57,088
And able to kick right back out.
And I want to talk about that.

624
00:35:57,154 --> 00:35:59,824
[Booker] We're going to find out
a whole lot about Tatum back.

625
00:35:59,891 --> 00:36:02,827
We don't know a whole lot about Tatum.
We're going to find out. Whoa.

626
00:36:02,894 --> 00:36:04,061
[Vic] Whoa, the lower back.

627
00:36:04,128 --> 00:36:08,666
Kelani, you yourself, you had concern,
you know, in your eyes for what you saw

628
00:36:08,733 --> 00:36:09,934
for Tatum Pax earlier.

629
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:12,470
She goes into a cover hook
and leg and a kickout.

630
00:36:12,537 --> 00:36:15,740
[Jordan] Yeah, like I said before, Tatum,
she's a force to be reckoned with.

631
00:36:15,806 --> 00:36:17,742
She really pushed me
to my limits last week

632
00:36:17,808 --> 00:36:19,977
and I hope I do get to see her again soon.

633
00:36:20,044 --> 00:36:23,614
[Vic] And you got to wonder
what's going through the thought process,

634
00:36:23,681 --> 00:36:26,684
everything with Tatum, who said earlier
tonight she's not friends with Kalani,

635
00:36:26,751 --> 00:36:29,153
she's not as popular as Lola Vice.

636
00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:30,788
But I don't necessarily know,

637
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:33,791
Lola has had opportunities
just handed to her--

638
00:36:33,858 --> 00:36:35,760
-With a big power slam.
-[Jordan] Wow.

639
00:36:35,826 --> 00:36:38,996
[Booker] The breakout tournament winner
I mean, here in NXT,

640
00:36:39,063 --> 00:36:41,599
we're in the Olympic time, right?
That's like a gold medal.

641
00:36:41,666 --> 00:36:44,068
It's like a gold medal.
Gotta give her a promise.

642
00:36:44,135 --> 00:36:47,138
[Vic] You mentioned first time,
first champion history maker.

643
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:51,008
What are your thoughts on the No Mercy
Gauntlet Eliminator that takes place?

644
00:36:51,075 --> 00:36:54,345
[Jordan] Oh, yes, I think it's awesome
that six women may not normally--

645
00:36:54,412 --> 00:36:56,781
[Vic] Into the cover hook
to the leg and a kickout.

646
00:36:56,847 --> 00:36:59,350
[Jordan] Six women who may not normally be
in the running for their title

647
00:36:59,417 --> 00:37:02,186
are now getting a chance to prove
themselves. I mean, look at me.

648
00:37:02,253 --> 00:37:05,923
-Opportunity.
-[Booker] You gotta agree with me. You--

649
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:07,425
[Vic] Up and over goes Tatum.

650
00:37:07,491 --> 00:37:09,660
Shoulders down and oh,
almost a big victory.

651
00:37:09,727 --> 00:37:12,530
[Booker] …almost earn that title shot,
don't you think?

652
00:37:12,597 --> 00:37:15,232
[Jordan] Yeah, but sometimes
people just need a chance.

653
00:37:15,299 --> 00:37:16,534
All you need is a chance.

654
00:37:16,601 --> 00:37:18,736
[Booker] Talk about
the Rocky Basil offense.

655
00:37:18,803 --> 00:37:21,305
[Vic] Hey, wait a minute.
Nice counter. Nice roll through.

656
00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:24,375
And a single leg crab like-- Holy crap.

657
00:37:24,442 --> 00:37:30,848
-[Booker] What?
-[Vic] Oh, 22 attacking the champion.

658
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:34,051
[crowd chanting]

659
00:37:34,118 --> 00:37:36,887
[Jordan] Impact of the ring.
We still have a match going on.

660
00:37:36,954 --> 00:37:43,327
-[Vic] Paxley taking full advantage.
-[Booker] I told you, Vic. I told you.

661
00:37:43,394 --> 00:37:46,397
You're going to
find out a lot about Tatum Pax.

662
00:37:46,464 --> 00:37:52,703
[Vic] Realize that is that 450 back fist
knocked Paxley out of Lola Vice.

663
00:37:52,770 --> 00:37:54,538
-One, two, three.
-[bell rings]

664
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:55,840
[Vic] Big victory but…

665
00:37:55,906 --> 00:37:57,174
[lively music plays]

666
00:37:57,241 --> 00:38:02,246
[Mike] Here is your winner, Lola Vice.

667
00:38:02,313 --> 00:38:06,317
[Vic] I know what we just witnessed,
but it's what happened here.

668
00:38:06,384 --> 00:38:07,518
To our left,

669
00:38:08,653 --> 00:38:10,688
as you can see, nice job by Paxley.

670
00:38:10,755 --> 00:38:13,891
Able to roll through
big back fist and roll of ice.

671
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:19,730
Vice, of course, victorious
as she's checking now on Tatum Paxley.

672
00:38:21,232 --> 00:38:24,535
But over here to the left, Wendy Choo.

673
00:38:24,602 --> 00:38:28,639
When Kalani wakes up, she's gonna have
a nightmare on her hands.

674
00:38:31,342 --> 00:38:35,313
You know, Ava, it was a rough night
for the family, and I really needed that.

675
00:38:35,379 --> 00:38:38,382
So bring it in. You're good to me, Ava.
You're good to me.

676
00:38:38,449 --> 00:38:39,350
Thank you.

677
00:38:39,417 --> 00:38:42,853
All right, now that this is sorted,
ladies, thank you for coming back.

678
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,188
Rob, spin it.

679
00:38:44,255 --> 00:38:45,089
[giggling]

680
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,590
Do it. Here we go.

681
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,626
[chatter]

682
00:38:48,693 --> 00:38:54,865
Okay, spot number four
is going to Jaida Parker.

683
00:38:54,932 --> 00:38:57,568
[chuckles] Thank you, baby. Thank you.

684
00:38:57,635 --> 00:38:59,003
[inaudible chatter]

685
00:38:59,070 --> 00:39:02,973
Spot number five is going to Kendal Grey.

686
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,610
-Kendal.
-Give me something.

687
00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:10,214
And the Gauntlet Eliminator is going to…

688
00:39:11,082 --> 00:39:12,817
-Karmen Petrovik.
-Oh, hell, no.

689
00:39:13,517 --> 00:39:15,553
So time for that.

690
00:39:15,619 --> 00:39:19,357
Ladies, thank you all for coming.
I'll see you next week. Thank you, guys.

691
00:39:19,423 --> 00:39:21,459
-Next time, you know.
-Thank you, Karmen.

692
00:39:21,525 --> 00:39:23,260
-I'm so happy for you.
-Thank you.

693
00:39:23,327 --> 00:39:26,330
I can't believe it's almost been
two years on our journey.

694
00:39:26,397 --> 00:39:29,066
Remember the SummerSlam trial
in Nashville? So fun.

695
00:39:29,133 --> 00:39:32,069
I can't. And you know what?
If it's not me, I hope you win.

696
00:39:32,136 --> 00:39:33,037
Thank you, Bran.

697
00:39:33,104 --> 00:39:35,840
Honestly, I'm so sorry
it didn't work out for you today.

698
00:39:35,906 --> 00:39:37,541
-It's okay.
-But I can't believe

699
00:39:37,608 --> 00:39:39,710
it's almost been two years since--

700
00:39:39,777 --> 00:39:43,614
By the way, if anyone deserved to be
in that Eliminator match, it was me.

701
00:39:43,681 --> 00:39:46,817
Well, I'm not in it either,
and you don't hear me bitching about it.

702
00:39:46,884 --> 00:39:49,120
I couldn't stand you
at our SummerSlam trial,

703
00:39:49,186 --> 00:39:50,554
and I can't stand you now.

704
00:39:50,621 --> 00:39:54,725
-What is her problem?
-She is delusional. Don't worry about it.

705
00:39:54,792 --> 00:39:55,860
[pop music plays]

706
00:39:55,926 --> 00:39:58,863
[Vic] There's a man
who owes us all an explanation.

707
00:39:58,929 --> 00:40:02,833
The question for the last week,
"Why, Wes? Why?"

708
00:40:06,137 --> 00:40:07,371
[energetic music plays]

709
00:40:07,438 --> 00:40:13,577
[Vic] Back live on NXT with a man
who has some explaining to do.

710
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:25,956
[Mike] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Wes Lee.

711
00:40:28,192 --> 00:40:29,193
[Vic] I think…

712
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:32,930
I can say this. We both sat here last week

713
00:40:32,997 --> 00:40:36,867
and both were shocked.
The unthinkable happened.

714
00:40:36,934 --> 00:40:39,203
[Booker] No, Vic,
I didn't want to say anything,

715
00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:41,472
but this Rascalz running back in here,

716
00:40:41,539 --> 00:40:48,412
trying to steal the thunder of Wes Lee.
I can smell it, man. I can sense it.

717
00:40:48,479 --> 00:40:53,884
And as far as I'm concerned, man,
Wes Lee, he don't own nobody nothing.

718
00:41:01,258 --> 00:41:04,061
[crowd booing]

719
00:41:15,739 --> 00:41:20,377
Hey, look, look, I get it. I get it.

720
00:41:21,245 --> 00:41:23,647
Last week, I shocked the world.

721
00:41:25,583 --> 00:41:28,486
Honestly, I shocked myself, too.

722
00:41:30,421 --> 00:41:31,755
You see, like,

723
00:41:31,822 --> 00:41:36,060
I believed that I was going to be winning
the tag team titles with my best friend.

724
00:41:37,862 --> 00:41:42,833
But Zach let me down again.

725
00:41:45,402 --> 00:41:48,506
Now, you see,
this goes back to two years ago,

726
00:41:48,572 --> 00:41:52,009
when Zach first let me down.

727
00:41:55,379 --> 00:42:00,518
One of the greatest tag teams
in NXT history…

728
00:42:02,386 --> 00:42:03,387
done!

729
00:42:04,455 --> 00:42:06,824
MSK was dead.

730
00:42:07,591 --> 00:42:13,898
And when all of that happened,
everybody was feeling sad for Zach,

731
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,003
but they were feeling sorry for me.

732
00:42:20,938 --> 00:42:22,339
They doubted me,

733
00:42:23,173 --> 00:42:26,477
saying things like,
"What is Wes going to do now?

734
00:42:27,177 --> 00:42:30,948
Is he going to find
a new tag team partner?" And, I mean,

735
00:42:31,015 --> 00:42:34,818
everyone only had me slotted as being
a tag team guy, so it only made sense.

736
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,088
But I dried my tears,

737
00:42:39,023 --> 00:42:43,027
I picked myself back up,
and I busted my ass to become

738
00:42:43,093 --> 00:42:46,664
the greatest North American
champion of all time.

739
00:42:46,730 --> 00:42:50,200
[cheers and applause]

740
00:42:52,202 --> 00:42:55,873
Some of y'all cheer that,
some of y'all boo that.

741
00:42:55,940 --> 00:42:59,410
But you all witnessed it firsthand.

742
00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:04,014
But Zach and Trey were not here.

743
00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:05,849
They abandoned me.

744
00:43:06,850 --> 00:43:11,255
They reunited in TNA
and they absolutely killed it.

745
00:43:13,223 --> 00:43:18,162
While I broke my back
to become a top star here in NXT.

746
00:43:18,228 --> 00:43:20,664
[crowd cheering]

747
00:43:25,436 --> 00:43:26,503
And you see…

748
00:43:28,739 --> 00:43:29,740
All of us,

749
00:43:31,075 --> 00:43:34,745
we all aspired to reach
greatness together.

750
00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:39,583
We all wanted to have a legacy
that lived beyond all of our years.

751
00:43:39,650 --> 00:43:44,154
But it was I and I alone
that achieved that greatness.

752
00:43:49,393 --> 00:43:50,394
You see…

753
00:43:51,395 --> 00:43:54,565
you all don't know this, but Zach does.

754
00:43:55,366 --> 00:43:56,367
Zach…

755
00:43:57,768 --> 00:44:00,204
I'm just done being a caretaker dog.

756
00:44:01,739 --> 00:44:06,610
I'm done worrying about
what you are going to say or do.

757
00:44:09,046 --> 00:44:12,116
I was the one
that kept everything together

758
00:44:12,182 --> 00:44:13,684
when we were the Rascalz.

759
00:44:13,751 --> 00:44:18,255
I was the one driving us
from city to city for our shows.

760
00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:21,959
I was the one squashing the beefs
when you were being too childish.

761
00:44:22,026 --> 00:44:25,596
I was the one waking you up
for your flights so you did not miss them.

762
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:28,732
I am tired of taking care of you.

763
00:44:28,799 --> 00:44:31,702
[cheers and applause]

764
00:44:38,742 --> 00:44:39,743
Now…

765
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:42,413
where I want to go?

766
00:44:43,447 --> 00:44:47,584
I know that I cannot have
my best friends riding my coattails.

767
00:44:50,454 --> 00:44:56,493
I know that the only reason why
they came back was for the WWE Rub.

768
00:45:03,167 --> 00:45:06,703
And more importantly,
I truly know how this is about to go.

769
00:45:08,572 --> 00:45:12,643
Zach, I know that you and I are going to
end up having a match.

770
00:45:13,243 --> 00:45:15,913
I know you desperately want to
get your hands on me.

771
00:45:15,979 --> 00:45:17,414
And No Mercy is coming up.

772
00:45:17,481 --> 00:45:19,850
And I feel like
the title is fitting, right?

773
00:45:21,885 --> 00:45:24,555
But the thing is, when we have our match,

774
00:45:26,457 --> 00:45:29,693
you're going to learn firsthand

775
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,063
that everything that I have said
here tonight reigns true.

776
00:45:33,130 --> 00:45:37,468
And I am going to show you no mercy, dawg,
when I beat the living hell out of you.

777
00:45:37,534 --> 00:45:40,070
[cheers and applause]

778
00:45:43,207 --> 00:45:44,975
Once all of that is done,

779
00:45:46,410 --> 00:45:49,279
you and Trey can go back to TNA

780
00:45:49,346 --> 00:45:53,684
and have a wonderful career
as a TNA wrestler

781
00:45:57,454 --> 00:46:02,159
while I aspire and focus on bigger
and better things like

782
00:46:02,793 --> 00:46:04,595
that NXT Championship.

783
00:46:04,661 --> 00:46:07,197
[cheers and applause]

784
00:46:10,734 --> 00:46:11,735
So…

785
00:46:12,669 --> 00:46:16,006
on behalf of WWE Superstar Wes Lee…

786
00:46:19,510 --> 00:46:21,979
I wish you the best
in all your future endeavors.

00:46:38,428 --> 00:46:39,696
Look at this.

789
00:46:40,697 --> 00:46:42,432
Look at this. I'm impressed.

790
00:46:43,634 --> 00:46:49,006
Because finally, someone around here
has started to figure it out.

791
00:46:51,508 --> 00:46:53,877
But don't get too carried away, mate,

792
00:46:56,180 --> 00:46:58,382
because last week I beat Trick,

793
00:46:58,448 --> 00:47:04,154
and now my eyes are fixed firmly
on that NXT Championship.

who attacked him earlier tonight.

-Yes.

Well, it is no secret

805
00:47:52,603 --> 00:47:56,306
that recently me and my amigo here
haven't exactly been on the same page.

806
00:47:56,373 --> 00:47:58,675
-However--
-Yeah, I mean, I did kick you.

-You kicked me.
-Yes, that did happen.

but that is a thing of the past.

809
00:48:04,815 --> 00:48:08,619
Yes. No chasing after the Speed title.
No chasing after the Heritage Cup.

810
00:48:08,685 --> 00:48:12,022
All right, we arrived on time.
We changed in the same locker room.

811
00:48:12,089 --> 00:48:13,690
-Locked in.
-We are locked in.

812
00:48:13,757 --> 00:48:17,394
And tonight the full focus is defending
these NXT Tag Team Championships.

a hell of a fight at Heatwave, but--

But we are locked in, bro.
We are on the same page.

And as good as JQ might be,

817
00:48:27,804 --> 00:48:30,841
I am certain that
tonight will end up the same way

-Let's freaking go. Yes.

822
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:46,957
What's running through your mind
after losing the Heritage Cup?

823
00:48:47,024 --> 00:48:50,560
Look, Mini Don and his girl,
they got one out.

824
00:48:50,627 --> 00:48:55,465
The ruler of NXT is here,
and it is time for my open challenge.

825
00:48:55,532 --> 00:48:58,435
Otis, last night
we came face to face on Raw,

826
00:48:58,502 --> 00:49:02,673
but tonight, tonight I'm ready for battle.

827
00:49:05,075 --> 00:49:07,077
Tonight is the night. You can feel it.

828
00:49:07,144 --> 00:49:08,545
Ridge. I am pumped.

829
00:49:08,612 --> 00:49:09,513
Good. Good.

830
00:49:09,579 --> 00:49:13,717
Ridge, I want to do something
I don't normally do, and that's apologize.

831
00:49:13,784 --> 00:49:16,553
I think Riley and I were taken off guard
last week, that's all.

832
00:49:16,620 --> 00:49:17,487
But to be honest,

833
00:49:17,554 --> 00:49:20,524
it doesn't matter who of us comes home
with the tag team gold

834
00:49:20,590 --> 00:49:23,593
-as long as it comes home to Chase U.
-Exactly. Duke's right.

835
00:49:23,660 --> 00:49:26,663
You have done the impossible for us.
And you keep saying it.

836
00:49:26,730 --> 00:49:29,166
If one person wins, we all win in Chase U.

837
00:49:29,232 --> 00:49:32,569
-So please, boys, bring those titles home.
-Go get it done, please.

838
00:49:32,636 --> 00:49:37,274
It's coming home.
Honestly, guys, I am so excited.

839
00:49:38,041 --> 00:49:39,242
But most of all,

840
00:49:40,043 --> 00:49:41,478
I'm grateful.

841
00:49:41,545 --> 00:49:44,247
Thea, come. Come.

842
00:49:44,314 --> 00:49:47,451
You came out of a situation
where someone betrayed your trust,

843
00:49:47,517 --> 00:49:50,087
but still, you believed in me.

844
00:49:50,153 --> 00:49:53,156
I can't tell you
how much that meant to me.

845
00:49:53,223 --> 00:49:56,093
And I know that it's taken you guys
a lot longer to come round

846
00:49:56,159 --> 00:49:58,095
and see that my intentions are pure,

847
00:49:58,161 --> 00:50:00,430
but I feel like you're 100% behind me now.

848
00:50:00,497 --> 00:50:01,331
We are.

849
00:50:01,398 --> 00:50:04,201
And I can't thank you enough
for giving me a fair chance.

850
00:50:04,267 --> 00:50:07,537
So that's why I'm going to do
everything in my power to make sure

851
00:50:07,604 --> 00:50:11,541
Mr. Chase and I come home
with those NXT tag team Championships.

852
00:50:11,608 --> 00:50:15,212
And I promise this won't be
just another Championship win.

853
00:50:15,278 --> 00:50:19,916
This is going to be the title reign
to end all title raids.

854
00:50:19,983 --> 00:50:22,619
[everybody cheering]

855
00:50:22,686 --> 00:50:26,456
[Vic] It fired up, Book,
massive main event still to come.

856
00:50:26,523 --> 00:50:30,994
But it's time for our second
Championship match of the night.

857
00:50:47,310 --> 00:50:48,979
And you've gone on record.

858
00:50:49,046 --> 00:50:52,516
Look, you don't necessarily like
an open challenge.

859
00:50:52,582 --> 00:50:54,785
There's a lot of dangers for Oba Femi.

860
00:50:54,851 --> 00:50:59,623
But he knows it was Otis
who accepted the challenge earlier today.

861
00:50:59,689 --> 00:51:01,758
[Booker] Yeah, you're right about that.

862
00:51:01,825 --> 00:51:05,495
Open challenge is like traveling
to the world of the unknown.

863
00:51:05,562 --> 00:51:08,065
You always want to scout your opponent,

864
00:51:08,131 --> 00:51:10,233
know exactly what you need to do.

865
00:51:10,300 --> 00:51:15,405
But this guy right here,
this is over 50. He's different.

866
00:51:15,472 --> 00:51:21,411
[Vic] As the voice of WWE, Michael Cole,
who called Oba Femi the real deal.

867
00:51:21,478 --> 00:51:23,080
[inaudible]

868
00:51:26,883 --> 00:51:29,820
[Vic] We talk about open challenge
and being prepared.

869
00:51:29,886 --> 00:51:34,224
Oba did have a few hours
to prepare for this matchup.

870
00:51:38,428 --> 00:51:44,534
And he's probably been thinking about it
since last night because Oba and Otis,

871
00:51:44,601 --> 00:51:48,872
as you can see, who's flanked by
Tozawa and Maxine of the Alpha Academy.

872
00:51:48,939 --> 00:51:53,376
These two had
intense stare down at Raw last night.

873
00:51:53,443 --> 00:51:56,813
Sold out Austin, Texas.
But Otis has called his shot.

874
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:02,085
He answered the open challenge earlier
and it's his chance to step up

875
00:52:02,152 --> 00:52:05,255
and win some gold
as NXT trending number one right now.

876
00:52:05,322 --> 00:52:08,925
[Booker] Know what I always say, Vic?
You said it earlier, preparation.

877
00:52:08,992 --> 00:52:14,798
Preparation is the only luck
you're gonna have with this man over Femi.

878
00:52:14,865 --> 00:52:19,903
No bread, no water, just me.

879
00:52:19,970 --> 00:52:23,473
[Vic] Saw a new Heritage Cup
champion crowned earlier tonight

880
00:52:23,540 --> 00:52:25,475
in Charlie Dempsey.

881
00:52:25,542 --> 00:52:31,948
Will we see a new North American champion
crowned here tonight on NXT.

882
00:52:32,015 --> 00:52:34,818
[cheerful music plays]

883
00:52:37,821 --> 00:52:39,122
[bell rings]

884
00:52:39,189 --> 00:52:42,626
[Mike] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

885
00:52:43,293 --> 00:52:45,495
is for the NXT

886
00:52:45,562 --> 00:52:50,567
North American Championship.

887
00:52:50,634 --> 00:52:52,836
[crowd cheering]

888
00:52:52,903 --> 00:52:55,472
[Mike] Introducing the challenger.

889
00:52:55,539 --> 00:52:59,543
Otis!

890
00:52:59,609 --> 00:53:03,180
[cheers and applause]

891
00:53:03,246 --> 00:53:04,781
And his opponent.

892
00:53:04,848 --> 00:53:10,587
He is the NXT North American champion,

893
00:53:10,654 --> 00:53:16,026
Hooba Ben.

894
00:53:16,092 --> 00:53:17,194
[cheers and applause]

895
00:53:17,260 --> 00:53:19,629
[Vic] Think about Otis here, Book.

896
00:53:19,696 --> 00:53:22,666
He has a golden opportunity
not only for himself,

897
00:53:22,732 --> 00:53:25,168
but also the rest of Alpha Academy.

898
00:53:25,235 --> 00:53:28,338
And he's still got to be reeling from
that Tornado tag team match

899
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:32,108
with Tozawa last night against former
NXT tag team champions the Creed Brothers.

900
00:53:32,175 --> 00:53:34,778
I don't think you've noticed it yet,

901
00:53:34,844 --> 00:53:39,249
but there is a massive bruise
on the right shoulder of Otis

902
00:53:39,316 --> 00:53:42,052
as he heads in
to this Championship matchup.

903
00:53:42,118 --> 00:53:47,424
[Booker] You walk into every match
deemed up just a little bit--

904
00:53:47,490 --> 00:53:50,727
I always say, as long as
you're not injured, you can go.

905
00:53:50,794 --> 00:53:54,931
[Vic] Power versus power
here in this matchup on NXT.

906
00:53:54,998 --> 00:53:57,500
You know, we probably won't see
this move too many times,

907
00:53:57,567 --> 00:54:00,870
but can anyone actually,
actually put a hammer off on Otis?

908
00:54:00,937 --> 00:54:05,375
-I mean, just the size of this man.
-[Booker] He's capable too.

909
00:54:05,442 --> 00:54:09,679
He's very, very talented.
I don't want to underestimate Otis.

910
00:54:11,214 --> 00:54:13,416
[Vic] Test the strength between these two.

911
00:54:13,483 --> 00:54:16,486
Otis, of course,
a former Money in the Bank winner.

912
00:54:16,553 --> 00:54:19,322
He can get it done on his own.

913
00:54:19,389 --> 00:54:20,824
And some do believe-- Oh!

914
00:54:26,896 --> 00:54:31,534
Otis now going right in at Oba Femi.
And it's Femi trying to out power.

915
00:54:31,601 --> 00:54:34,137
I mean, this is going to be
very interesting in this match

916
00:54:34,204 --> 00:54:38,875
because this is a new challenge
for the champion facing someone like Otis.

917
00:54:38,942 --> 00:54:40,910
I'm even trying to rack
my brain around it here.

918
00:54:40,977 --> 00:54:43,279
-At the best.
-[Booker] It'll be a little different.

919
00:54:43,346 --> 00:54:45,048
I mean, Otis has competed
at the next level.

920
00:54:45,115 --> 00:54:48,618
He's a guy's former tag team champion.
Like you say, Money in the Bank.

921
00:54:48,685 --> 00:54:50,954
He's done it all.
Whole lot in this business.

922
00:54:51,021 --> 00:54:55,358
[Vic] If you look at the career of Femi
who tried to take down Otis,

923
00:54:55,425 --> 00:54:58,328
but there is that base,
there is that strength

924
00:54:58,395 --> 00:54:59,896
and Oba having to reset here.

925
00:54:59,963 --> 00:55:03,833
I mean, is this the toughest challenge
to date for Oba Femi?

926
00:55:03,900 --> 00:55:07,804
-[Booker] I would agree. Oh!
-[Vic] Oh my God, man. Wow.

927
00:55:07,871 --> 00:55:14,344
[inaudible]

928
00:55:15,145 --> 00:55:18,648
[Vic] Who's walking out
North American champion?

929
00:55:22,352 --> 00:55:27,057
Back live on NXT, the second
of three Championship matches.

930
00:55:27,123 --> 00:55:31,161
This was an open challenge accepted
earlier today by Otis.

931
00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:33,663
Oba Femi in control of this matchup.

932
00:55:33,730 --> 00:55:36,166
And it doesn't matter your size,
your strength.

933
00:55:36,232 --> 00:55:39,069
This happened during the break.
When you run into a steel post,

934
00:55:39,135 --> 00:55:41,838
it's going to take out anyone.

935
00:55:41,905 --> 00:55:47,911
[Booker] Tell you right now,
Femi has proved his medal in the ring

936
00:55:47,977 --> 00:55:49,546
time and time again.

937
00:55:49,612 --> 00:55:54,951
And the thing is, we really don't know
how far his hypocrisy actually goes.

938
00:55:55,018 --> 00:55:58,321
This guy could be
the next greatest superstar

939
00:55:58,388 --> 00:56:00,623
we've seen in quite some time.

940
00:56:00,690 --> 00:56:05,695
[Vic] Whoa! By Otis to bring
some goal to the Alpha Academy.

941
00:56:05,762 --> 00:56:08,965
[Booker] Easy kickout though.
You see that easy kickout by Olba.

942
00:56:09,032 --> 00:56:12,402
[Vic] You know, this is a matchup.
We talked off air about Femi.

943
00:56:12,469 --> 00:56:15,205
He doesn't have
that typical strength advantage.

944
00:56:15,271 --> 00:56:18,742
Same can also be said for Otis
in this showdown.

945
00:56:18,808 --> 00:56:22,645
How are these two going to have to
adjust to that situation in this matchup?

946
00:56:22,712 --> 00:56:25,148
[Booker] Oh. Oh, wow.

947
00:56:28,284 --> 00:56:30,186
[Vic] I guess that's one way to--

948
00:56:30,253 --> 00:56:34,090
[Booker] It goes back to my point
if Otis could actually figure out

949
00:56:34,157 --> 00:56:37,193
how to pull this thing off,
it could change his life, Vic.

950
00:56:37,260 --> 00:56:40,497
[Vic] And you see the look of worry
on Maxine face again.

951
00:56:40,563 --> 00:56:42,165
I come back to the bruise,

952
00:56:42,232 --> 00:56:46,569
to the damage done last night
to the right shoulder of Otis.

953
00:56:46,636 --> 00:56:51,174
Right there it goes into the steel steps.

954
00:56:51,241 --> 00:56:53,777
And Otis right now on the outside

955
00:56:54,411 --> 00:56:59,315
just got decked with that uppercut
from the North American champion.

956
00:56:59,382 --> 00:57:04,554
[Booker] Took a gnarly, gnarly shot right
there to the back of the head as well.

957
00:57:04,621 --> 00:57:05,955
Vicious.

958
00:57:06,022 --> 00:57:07,991
[Vic] Guess I answered my own question.

959
00:57:08,057 --> 00:57:11,694
When it comes to how do you adjust
for strength as individual cover goes,

960
00:57:11,761 --> 00:57:13,997
Oba Femi to retain
and Otis able to kick out.

961
00:57:14,063 --> 00:57:15,565
Just use your surroundings.

962
00:57:15,632 --> 00:57:18,735
That's what Oba Femi has done.
First was the steel post.

963
00:57:18,802 --> 00:57:23,773
Now it's the steel steps and Oba Femi
just dropping his weight right down

964
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,043
out of the massive chest
of Otis into another cover

965
00:57:27,110 --> 00:57:31,014
and another near fall
as that shoulder just getting off the map.

966
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,650
[Booker] One thing about Femi,
he's not shy, Vic.

967
00:57:33,716 --> 00:57:37,187
He's not shy at all.
He's not timid or anything like that.

968
00:57:37,253 --> 00:57:40,957
He's gonna win by any means necessary

969
00:57:41,024 --> 00:57:43,193
and I love that in this young man.

970
00:57:43,259 --> 00:57:46,062
[Vic] Over setting his sight once again

971
00:57:46,129 --> 00:57:50,233
like a human battering ram
just bouncing off Otis

972
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:52,035
whose legs are starting to buckle.

973
00:57:52,101 --> 00:57:56,473
Oba Femi for the third time
just drops the challenger champion

974
00:57:56,539 --> 00:57:58,441
into the cover hook of the leg

975
00:57:58,508 --> 00:58:05,114
and another near fall
as you see Tozawa Maxine on the outside.

976
00:58:05,181 --> 00:58:09,152
It's been a hurtful 24 hours
for the Alpha Academy.

977
00:58:09,219 --> 00:58:11,120
Everything that happened last night.

978
00:58:11,187 --> 00:58:14,357
Maxine having to question
the actions of her former best friend

979
00:58:14,424 --> 00:58:16,392
Ivy Nile into tonight.

980
00:58:16,459 --> 00:58:19,329
And now Oba Femi
looking for the powerbomber.

981
00:58:19,395 --> 00:58:23,867
Powerbomb. But a nice counter
by the challenger and Otis has life.

982
00:58:23,933 --> 00:58:27,604
[Vic] Talking about strength, Otis
still got a lot of power in that body.

983
00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:30,640
Look at him right now.
He's psyching himself up.

984
00:58:30,707 --> 00:58:34,010
[Vic] Oh, look at these rights and left.

985
00:58:34,077 --> 00:58:37,513
Club and blows followed by
a headbutt from the challenger.

986
00:58:37,580 --> 00:58:41,251
And Otis now seems
to have maybe shaken those cobwebs

987
00:58:41,317 --> 00:58:44,888
from what we saw a few moments ago
from that steel post,

988
00:58:44,954 --> 00:58:49,526
from that Steel steps as Femi able to
sidestep Otis for a moment.

989
00:58:50,660 --> 00:58:53,196
And the champion right to the back of--

990
00:58:53,263 --> 00:58:56,399
[Booker] What a shot. What a shot, Vic.

991
00:58:56,466 --> 00:59:01,104
These two have not held back in tow.

992
00:59:01,170 --> 00:59:06,209
I mean, you gotta give Tozawa and Maxine
some credit trying to keep Otis.

993
00:59:06,276 --> 00:59:10,380
I don't think Otis necessarily thought
this was gonna happen here tonight.

994
00:59:10,446 --> 00:59:13,983
[Booker] Oh, man, I'm gonna tell you
right there, every time.

995
00:59:14,050 --> 00:59:17,921
[Vic] Oh, man. God. What do you tell me?
Don't stick your nose in business.

996
00:59:17,987 --> 00:59:21,524
-[Booker] Mind your business.
-[Vic] But that just woke up Otis

997
00:59:23,526 --> 00:59:27,497
and Otis like a freight train,
right into Oba Femi.

998
00:59:27,564 --> 00:59:29,732
And that might be what Otis needed.

999
00:59:29,799 --> 00:59:33,169
Tozawa sacrificing himself
for the challenger.

1000
00:59:33,236 --> 00:59:36,339
[Booker] It's all about pals,
you know, all about pals with Otis.

1001
00:59:36,406 --> 00:59:40,143
He don't like anybody--
anybody messing with his friends.

1002
00:59:40,209 --> 00:59:44,647
[Vic] He certainly does not.
And right now, Otis like a man possessed.

1003
00:59:44,714 --> 00:59:49,052
Elbow after elbow, strike after strike.

1004
00:59:49,118 --> 00:59:50,086
[crowd cheering]

1005
00:59:50,153 --> 00:59:51,788
[Vic] And how many times, Booker,

1006
00:59:51,854 --> 00:59:53,957
have you seen Oba Femi
get knocked down like that?

1007
00:59:54,023 --> 00:59:55,925
With a close knock down.

1008
00:59:55,992 --> 00:59:59,495
[Booker] Got knocked down by a big shot,
by a big man. And Otis looking to--

1009
00:59:59,562 --> 01:00:02,598
Oh, finish this thing, Vic. Oh!

1010
01:00:02,665 --> 01:00:05,335
Here we go. Here we go.

1011
01:00:05,401 --> 01:00:07,971
[crowd cheering]

1012
01:00:11,641 --> 01:00:13,643
[Vic] You know what's next, Book?

1013
01:00:13,710 --> 01:00:15,178
[Booker] Oh, yeah.

1014
01:00:18,414 --> 01:00:21,718
[Vic] Otis with the elbow
off the caterpillar

1015
01:00:21,784 --> 01:00:24,954
and it almost brought him
the North American title.

1016
01:00:25,021 --> 01:00:29,225
But so much taken out of Otis
usually pops right back up

1017
01:00:29,292 --> 01:00:33,429
looking for a spot.
That's gotta be it. He conquered.

1018
01:00:34,430 --> 01:00:37,533
Wow, wow.

1019
01:00:38,167 --> 01:00:40,737
That might have been
the closest I've seen.

1020
01:00:40,803 --> 01:00:44,073
-[Vic] That was close--
-[Booker] To losing that Championship.

1021
01:00:44,140 --> 01:00:46,242
[Vic] No one has been this close before.

1022
01:00:46,309 --> 01:00:50,847
Otis is starting to swing away,
trying to chop down. Oh, my word.

1023
01:00:50,913 --> 01:00:56,119
That is the biggest damage powerbomb
I've ever seen.

1024
01:00:56,185 --> 01:00:57,587
-[Booker] Wow.
-[bell rings]

1025
01:00:57,654 --> 01:00:59,722
[Vic] Oba overcomes Otis.

1026
01:00:59,789 --> 01:01:01,324
[victory music plays]

1027
01:01:01,391 --> 01:01:03,626
[Mike] Here is your winner

1028
01:01:03,693 --> 01:01:08,898
and still the NXT North American champion,

1029
01:01:08,965 --> 01:01:12,301
Oba Femi.

1030
01:01:12,368 --> 01:01:13,236
[Booker] Wow.

1031
01:01:13,302 --> 01:01:17,907
[Vic] The champion was pushed
tonight by the challenger.

1032
01:01:17,974 --> 01:01:23,246
And that, I mean, everybody here thought
we were about to crown a new champion.

1033
01:01:23,312 --> 01:01:27,617
But Femi, able to kick out
and then overpower,

1034
01:01:27,683 --> 01:01:31,120
overcome Otis here tonight.

1035
01:01:31,187 --> 01:01:34,791
And Book, the question remains the same.

1036
01:01:34,857 --> 01:01:38,528
Who can conquer the uncomfortable
North American champion,

1037
01:01:38,594 --> 01:01:42,732
the ruler of NXT, Oba Femi?

1038
01:01:46,536 --> 01:01:47,737
[soft music plays]

1039
01:01:47,804 --> 01:01:50,506
It's been documented.
I was in a dark place.

1040
01:01:50,573 --> 01:01:52,809
It's just been an experience

1041
01:01:52,875 --> 01:01:54,711
spiraling out of control.

1042
01:01:54,777 --> 01:01:58,381
[loudly] You want to silence me.
And I say you want to silence me. I do.

1043
01:02:00,049 --> 01:02:01,384
I hit rock bottom.

1044
01:02:02,719 --> 01:02:04,954
Some people say
they were looking out for me.

1045
01:02:05,021 --> 01:02:07,723
You are so lost right now,
it's not even funny.

1046
01:02:09,292 --> 01:02:10,727
Those were empty words.

1047
01:02:12,895 --> 01:02:15,765
But there was one man
who vouched for me in every sense.

1048
01:02:16,332 --> 01:02:19,302
He stuck his neck out for me
so I could get rehired.

1049
01:02:19,368 --> 01:02:22,238
Sean and I have decided
to give you a second chance.

1050
01:02:23,906 --> 01:02:27,543
He told me not what I wanted to hear,
but what I needed to hear.

1051
01:02:27,610 --> 01:02:31,047
I was doing dumb and immature things,
and I was better than that.

1052
01:02:31,114 --> 01:02:34,884
He made sure I got home safe every night,
no matter what I was doing.

1053
01:02:36,786 --> 01:02:40,323
This place is cutthroat.
Friends are turning on each other.

1054
01:02:40,389 --> 01:02:42,325
People are out for themselves.

1055
01:02:42,391 --> 01:02:46,028
Well, I finally got someone looking out
for me besides Brooks Jensen.

1056
01:02:46,095 --> 01:02:47,263
He was a leader,

1057
01:02:48,998 --> 01:02:50,500
a mentor to me.

1058
01:02:53,102 --> 01:02:54,137
Does that work?

1059
01:02:55,805 --> 01:02:56,806
Yeah.

1060
01:02:57,540 --> 01:02:58,541
Brooks…

1061
01:02:59,876 --> 01:03:01,244
that was perfect.

1062
01:03:03,679 --> 01:03:05,882
-You want to do something?
-No, that's crazy.

1063
01:03:05,948 --> 01:03:08,184
I feel like we should do
something about this.

1064
01:03:08,251 --> 01:03:09,285
I agree.

1065
01:03:09,352 --> 01:03:12,155
Yeah. We've known Brooks for a long time.

1066
01:03:12,221 --> 01:03:16,292
Plus, with Briggs being in Japan
for a while, Brooks is a lost cause.

1067
01:03:16,359 --> 01:03:19,362
That's just sad, man.
Because me and Brooks came in together

1068
01:03:19,428 --> 01:03:22,532
and really we all became different Texans
around the same time,

1069
01:03:22,598 --> 01:03:25,034
but no doubt about this,
he is being manipulated.

1070
01:03:25,101 --> 01:03:25,935
100%.

1071
01:03:26,002 --> 01:03:28,871
It's crazy about Brooks,
but sounds like y'all got him, so…

1072
01:03:28,938 --> 01:03:31,007
-Let's start thinking.
-See y'all around.

1073
01:03:31,073 --> 01:03:33,976
Have that little chit chat with Ms. Ava
that we were talking about.

1074
01:03:34,043 --> 01:03:37,013
I saw the GM Ava, and she loves herself
some Hank and Tank.

1075
01:03:37,079 --> 01:03:40,449
-We got a match next Tuesday. Bro talk.
-That's what I'm talking about, my bro.

1076
01:03:40,516 --> 01:03:43,653
The good brothers want to crash
our barbecue Bash on our food.

1077
01:03:43,719 --> 01:03:47,623
All we're gonna taste next week is
some defeat with a little side of Honk,

1078
01:03:47,690 --> 01:03:50,927
Honk Honk. Taste the best this time.

1079
01:03:50,993 --> 01:03:52,895
[Vic] I like the sound of that, Book.

1080
01:03:52,962 --> 01:03:55,865
We got ourselves
some tag team action next week.

1081
01:03:55,932 --> 01:03:58,100
Hank and Tank in the O.C.

1082
01:03:59,569 --> 01:04:00,503
[bell rings]

1083
01:04:00,570 --> 01:04:04,273
[Mike] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1084
01:04:04,340 --> 01:04:08,678
Introducing first, Izzi Dame.

1085
01:04:08,744 --> 01:04:11,881
[Vic] Luck was not on her side earlier,

1086
01:04:11,948 --> 01:04:17,420
she let it be known led to a confrontation
which has led to this matchup.

1087
01:04:17,486 --> 01:04:20,323
Izzi, Brinley, Live Next.

1088
01:04:23,893 --> 01:04:28,664
[Vic] Earlier this month was
the WWE SummerSlam tryout with athletes

1089
01:04:28,731 --> 01:04:31,400
in WWE hopefuls from all over the country.

1090
01:04:31,467 --> 01:04:35,438
The WWE Universe was on hand to see
these possible superstars of tomorrow,

1091
01:04:35,504 --> 01:04:38,808
as was Shawn Michaels, CM Punk,
Bianca Belair, Chelsea Green,

1092
01:04:38,875 --> 01:04:40,042
and even Baron Corbin.

1093
01:04:40,109 --> 01:04:44,280
They kept a close eye on the competition
along with the Performance Center coaches.

1094
01:04:44,347 --> 01:04:47,750
Congratulations to all those
that took part in the SummerSlam tryout.

1095
01:04:47,817 --> 01:04:49,585
[energetic music plays]

1096
01:04:49,652 --> 01:04:54,724
[Vic] And there is Izzi Dame,
who, of course, had a tryout back in 2022.

1097
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:57,860
She was also at SummerSlam.
It was in Nashville.

1098
01:04:57,927 --> 01:05:00,663
A volleyball standout all compared.

1099
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:04,734
She put her pursuit of her professional
volleyball court to the side

1100
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,770
to become a WWE Superstar.

1101
01:05:07,837 --> 01:05:11,908
[crowd cheering]

1102
01:05:16,045 --> 01:05:20,516
[Mike] And her opponent, Brinley Reece.

1103
01:05:20,583 --> 01:05:24,453
[Vic] And the same can be said
for her opponent here tonight

1104
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,356
as these two had that back and forth
and talk about how tensions

1105
01:05:27,423 --> 01:05:33,029
between the two started in Nashville
during those SummerSlam 2022 tryouts.

1106
01:05:33,095 --> 01:05:36,299
And there you see Reece,
who is from Sacramento State University.

1107
01:05:36,365 --> 01:05:39,001
A cheerleader.
Three months after graduation,

1108
01:05:39,068 --> 01:05:44,240
she stepped into a WWE ring
at that tryout for the very first time.

1109
01:05:44,307 --> 01:05:47,643
Think about that.
Both these women for the first time ever

1110
01:05:47,710 --> 01:05:50,946
stepped into a wrestling ring
two years ago.

1111
01:05:51,013 --> 01:05:53,249
[Booker] I'm gonna say
really brilliant Reece,

1112
01:05:53,316 --> 01:05:56,252
but if I could give her any advice,
Vic, she gotta focus.

1113
01:05:56,319 --> 01:05:58,821
She has to focus
because she has a lot of talent.

1114
01:05:58,888 --> 01:06:01,290
And right now
she's in the ring with Izzi Dame

1115
01:06:01,357 --> 01:06:06,128
who has been under
the expert tutelage of Kev [inaudible]

1116
01:06:06,195 --> 01:06:09,265
[Vic] I also want to talk about how far
both these women really have come along

1117
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:12,201
since their tryout two years ago.
And it's not just these two.

1118
01:06:12,268 --> 01:06:13,769
It's everybody from Nashville.

1119
01:06:13,836 --> 01:06:17,173
It's all those that were signed
here to WWE, to NXT.

1120
01:06:17,239 --> 01:06:20,676
It's just wild to think that
these two for the first time ever,

1121
01:06:20,743 --> 01:06:23,479
two years ago stepped into a ring
for the first time ever.

1122
01:06:23,546 --> 01:06:24,947
And now they're here on NXT.

1123
01:06:25,014 --> 01:06:27,116
[Booker] Watching these ladies
build that playbook,

1124
01:06:27,183 --> 01:06:29,852
I always say,
"You gotta be going to your troll bag."

1125
01:06:29,919 --> 01:06:35,057
And these ladies definitely are learning
that they don't learn it overnight.

1126
01:06:35,124 --> 01:06:37,493
[Vic] Cover hook of the leg
and a quick kickout.

1127
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,197
You got to appreciate Ava's decision,
by the way, on the No Mercy.

1128
01:06:41,263 --> 01:06:45,835
[Booker] I've been very impressed with
a decision making here in NXT.

1129
01:06:45,901 --> 01:06:48,004
Big props. Big props.

1130
01:06:48,070 --> 01:06:50,973
[Vic] And the six women
who are randomly selected tonight

1131
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,110
from the field of superstars
have never challenged

1132
01:06:54,176 --> 01:06:55,978
for the NXT Women's Championship.

1133
01:06:56,045 --> 01:06:59,815
That Eliminator taking place
next week live here on NXT.

1134
01:06:59,882 --> 01:07:03,252
But it's Izzi Dame who thought she should
have just been handed, so to speak,

1135
01:07:03,319 --> 01:07:08,591
an opportunity in that match
in a nice tilt to world backbreaker--

1136
01:07:08,657 --> 01:07:11,894
[Booker] I think Izzi
should have been considered to have a buy

1137
01:07:11,961 --> 01:07:13,029
into that tournament.

1138
01:07:13,095 --> 01:07:16,132
I think she should have been handed--

1139
01:07:16,198 --> 01:07:18,701
She's been doing a hell of a job here.

1140
01:07:18,768 --> 01:07:21,704
-There a--
-[Vic] No, you feel she's been overlooked?

1141
01:07:21,771 --> 01:07:23,639
-She was overlooked
-[Booker] Somewhat.

1142
01:07:23,706 --> 01:07:27,109
So the person who was rolling the balls
around that was selecting those balls

1143
01:07:27,176 --> 01:07:29,879
all of a sudden just said, you know what?
I'm going to overlook her.

1144
01:07:29,945 --> 01:07:32,648
No, it's the luck of the draw
into the cover hook the leg--

1145
01:07:32,715 --> 01:07:35,217
[Booker] I'm saying Ava
should have had to wear understanding

1146
01:07:35,284 --> 01:07:38,020
and know how to make sure
somebody like Izzi Dame,

1147
01:07:38,087 --> 01:07:41,157
who is somewhat a star
in this business, put into turn.

1148
01:07:41,223 --> 01:07:44,093
[Vic] I hear what you're saying

1149
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,062
because in her mind,
she already thinks she's a WWE legend.

1150
01:07:47,129 --> 01:07:49,865
You can look at her social media and see
where she was sitting at SummerSlam,

1151
01:07:49,932 --> 01:07:52,168
but here it's NXT.
She's going one on one with Reece.

1152
01:07:52,234 --> 01:07:54,637
Reece trying to fight back
in this moment as well.

1153
01:07:54,703 --> 01:07:58,340
And charging right back in was Dame.
Reece creating some separation.

1154
01:07:58,407 --> 01:08:00,709
And Reece got caught-- Oh! [inaudible]

1155
01:08:00,776 --> 01:08:06,949
She got slanted, and a big kickout
by Reece. Take another look.

1156
01:08:07,016 --> 01:08:10,052
The height and then the nasty landing.

1157
01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:13,422
And Izzi Dame also upset
because during the recent strength

1158
01:08:13,489 --> 01:08:16,525
and conditioning fitness test here
at the Performance Center,

1159
01:08:16,592 --> 01:08:19,995
it was Reece who blew away
the competition, including her opponent.

1160
01:08:20,062 --> 01:08:23,899
Bottom line, these two just don't match.
These two just don't like each other.

1161
01:08:23,966 --> 01:08:26,535
[Booker] This ain't no
fitness competition right here.

1162
01:08:26,602 --> 01:08:27,570
This is a fight.

1163
01:08:27,636 --> 01:08:30,039
All that you talking about,
it don't matter.

1164
01:08:30,106 --> 01:08:33,209
Only thing that matters is
who get the victory here tonight.

1165
01:08:33,275 --> 01:08:36,011
[Vic] Looking for the submission.
Reece able to counter.

1166
01:08:36,078 --> 01:08:39,415
These two going back and forth now.
Reece able to land on her feet.

1167
01:08:39,482 --> 01:08:41,317
There's that cheerleading background.

1168
01:08:41,383 --> 01:08:44,220
And, oh, that was a knee
right to the side of the face.

1169
01:08:44,286 --> 01:08:48,557
[Booker] Izzi ran into that knee as well,
Vic. Added a little extra pressure.

1170
01:08:48,624 --> 01:08:51,393
Oh, man, Reece is looking good.

1171
01:08:51,460 --> 01:08:53,028
[inaudible]

1172
01:08:53,095 --> 01:08:55,764
Reece looking for the ben--
Whoa. She's right on top.

1173
01:08:55,831 --> 01:08:56,765
Bully.

1174
01:08:57,333 --> 01:09:00,369
[Vic] You hear Reece
yelling at Izzi Dame again,

1175
01:09:00,436 --> 01:09:02,304
these two just don't like each other.

1176
01:09:02,371 --> 01:09:06,408
They've said it time and time again, and
you see those tensions starting to boil.

1177
01:09:06,475 --> 01:09:08,310
That was a knee right to the midsection.

1178
01:09:08,377 --> 01:09:10,779
[Booker] Goes back to what
I was talking about earlier.

1179
01:09:10,846 --> 01:09:13,649
Reece cannot lose focus
in this matchup tonight.

1180
01:09:15,451 --> 01:09:17,686
[Vic] Showing some strength is Reece.

1181
01:09:17,753 --> 01:09:23,259
And, oh! Nice little delayed northern
light of sorts without the bridge,

1182
01:09:23,325 --> 01:09:25,828
but does make the cover
but doesn't get to three.

1183
01:09:25,895 --> 01:09:28,097
Izzi just getting that right shoulder up.

1184
01:09:28,163 --> 01:09:30,633
And you look at Izzi,
you look in her eyes right now.

1185
01:09:30,699 --> 01:09:31,901
She's trying to refocus,

1186
01:09:31,967 --> 01:09:34,103
trying to refigure out
where exactly she is.

1187
01:09:34,170 --> 01:09:36,205
And, you know, maybe Ava was right

1188
01:09:36,272 --> 01:09:39,208
by not handing her an opportunity
in that matchup.

1189
01:09:39,275 --> 01:09:40,943
Nice shot to the back.

1190
01:09:41,010 --> 01:09:41,844
[crowd booing]

1191
01:09:41,911 --> 01:09:44,547
Izzi trying to power back
into this matchup.

1192
01:09:44,613 --> 01:09:48,017
And again, this would be a big victory
because you look at the state

1193
01:09:48,083 --> 01:09:50,452
of the women's division,
it's not just the NXT Championship.

1194
01:09:50,519 --> 01:09:53,455
How about the North American
women's champion, Kanye Jordan,

1195
01:09:53,522 --> 01:09:56,625
who was by Wendy earlier,
big boot from Izzi.

1196
01:09:56,692 --> 01:09:58,994
[Booker] Talking about
being one step ahead.

1197
01:09:59,061 --> 01:10:02,631
Talking about going into your tool bag,
trick bag. You just got to pick.

1198
01:10:02,698 --> 01:10:06,468
-Weird, right? Is that it?
-[Vic] And Izzi--

1199
01:10:06,535 --> 01:10:07,736
Rock Reece here tonight.

1200
01:10:08,704 --> 01:10:12,808
[Mike] Here is your winner, Izzi Dame.

1201
01:10:12,875 --> 01:10:14,410
[Booker] Smart, smart.

1202
01:10:15,377 --> 01:10:19,048
[Vic] Going back. You call it smart.
You said going into the bag of tricks.

1203
01:10:19,114 --> 01:10:25,754
And man, big high impact offense
from Izzi Dame here tonight.

1204
01:10:25,821 --> 01:10:30,159
And I may not like it. I know you do
NF at home, you may not like it,

1205
01:10:30,226 --> 01:10:35,598
but in the end, for Dame,
it is what it is.

1206
01:10:35,664 --> 01:10:39,702
[energetic music plays]

1207
01:10:39,768 --> 01:10:43,038
I'm joined now by
the NXT general manager, Ava.

1208
01:10:43,105 --> 01:10:48,244
Ava, next week is shaping up to be a huge
show leading up to No Mercy in Denver.

1209
01:10:48,310 --> 01:10:51,647
Absolutely. It is a super exciting time
in NXT right now.

1210
01:10:51,714 --> 01:10:55,884
Next week, six women will compete
in the No Mercy Gauntlet Eliminator.

1211
01:10:55,951 --> 01:11:00,055
Whoever wins will then face Roxanne Perez
for her Championship at No Mercy.

1212
01:11:00,122 --> 01:11:04,994
And just before this, I finalized
a triple threat match between Wes Lee,

1213
01:11:05,060 --> 01:11:06,695
Joe Hendry and Pete Dunne.

1214
01:11:06,762 --> 01:11:11,100
Whoever wins that will then face Page
for his Championship at No Mercy.

1215
01:11:11,166 --> 01:11:12,534
It's gonna be a great show.

1216
01:11:12,601 --> 01:11:17,239
Sorry, Ava, did I hear you say
a Gauntlet Eliminator match? Cute.

1217
01:11:17,306 --> 01:11:19,608
I actually got my break in a similar style

1218
01:11:19,675 --> 01:11:23,312
when I dominated
the NXT women's breakout tournament.

1219
01:11:23,379 --> 01:11:25,247
And now look at where I'm at.

1220
01:11:25,314 --> 01:11:27,683
No one is on my level,

1221
01:11:27,750 --> 01:11:31,987
but this is an opportunity
for someone to actually get on my level,

1222
01:11:32,054 --> 01:11:35,057
become a big star,
launch their career, and maybe,

1223
01:11:36,025 --> 01:11:39,828
maybe even become the next Roxanne Perez.

1224
01:11:40,562 --> 01:11:45,734
The only problem with that is that
they're going to be waiting a long,

1225
01:11:45,801 --> 01:11:51,707
long, long time before they even come
close to my NXT Women's Championship.

1226
01:11:52,308 --> 01:11:53,709
I'm excited to watch.

1227
01:11:54,710 --> 01:11:56,445
[cheers and applause]

1228
01:11:56,512 --> 01:11:58,647
-Thank you, Kelly.
-Thanks, Ava.

1229
01:11:58,714 --> 01:12:01,016
Vic, Booker, back to you.

1230
01:12:01,884 --> 01:12:05,587
[Vic] Thanks, Kelly. It doesn't seem
that Roxanne Perez is very impressed.

1231
01:12:05,654 --> 01:12:09,258
Well, it's also the NXT women's champion.
There's a big matchup next week

1232
01:12:09,325 --> 01:12:12,327
to find out who will challenge her
for the Women's Championship.

1233
01:12:12,394 --> 01:12:14,430
You also heard from our general manager.

1234
01:12:14,496 --> 01:12:17,366
A lot of big news surrounding
next week as we get ready

1235
01:12:17,433 --> 01:12:21,070
for our very next Premium Live event.
Booker, you ready to head to Denver?

1236
01:12:21,136 --> 01:12:23,839
-[Booker] Yes, babe.
-[Vic] No Mercy, September 1st.

1237
01:12:23,906 --> 01:12:27,343
Tickets are on sale right now
for our next Premium Live event.

1238
01:12:27,409 --> 01:12:29,878
But we're not just headed to Denver.

1239
01:12:29,945 --> 01:12:32,047
If you missed the news, here it comes,

1240
01:12:32,114 --> 01:12:35,184
first hand from The Heartbreak Kid,
Shawn Michaels.

1241
01:12:37,553 --> 01:12:41,623
Before we take off, gotta let you know,
not only I am flying out,

1242
01:12:41,690 --> 01:12:43,692
but NXT is now going on the road.

1243
01:12:43,759 --> 01:12:47,596
The launch of CW happens
in Chicago, Illinois,

1244
01:12:47,663 --> 01:12:49,998
All State Original Arena, October 1st.

1245
01:12:50,065 --> 01:12:53,068
What's better than one week
on the road with NXT?

1246
01:12:53,135 --> 01:12:55,971
Two weeks on the road,
October 8th, St. Louis.

1247
01:12:56,038 --> 01:12:58,240
Get ready, because we're coming your way.

1248
01:12:58,307 --> 01:13:02,411
That's right, two weeks in a row.
NXT, the CW launch. We're coming your way.

1249
01:13:02,478 --> 01:13:06,949
Everybody get ready.
NXT's been on fire the last year,

1250
01:13:07,015 --> 01:13:11,420
but now NXT, LCW gonna be
a whole different animal.

1251
01:13:12,788 --> 01:13:18,360
[Vic] Coming up next, it's main event time
for the NXT tag team titles on the line.

1252
01:13:18,427 --> 01:13:21,330
Are we going to crown
new champions and Chase U,

1253
01:13:21,397 --> 01:13:26,001
does the gold go back to the campus
or will the champions get on the same page

1254
01:13:26,068 --> 01:13:31,340
and stay on the same page?
It's main event time live on NXT.

1255
01:13:34,777 --> 01:13:38,147
-It would have been so awesome.
-I know, it's okay.

1256
01:13:38,213 --> 01:13:39,815
I'm so happy for all the other--

1257
01:13:39,882 --> 01:13:43,852
I understand that everyone wants a shot
at the NXT Women's Championship,

1258
01:13:44,753 --> 01:13:46,422
but honestly,

1259
01:13:46,488 --> 01:13:50,459
everyone should be shooting
a shot with me.

1260
01:13:50,526 --> 01:13:51,460
Yeah.

1261
01:13:51,527 --> 01:13:55,030
So we thought it was her moment,
but I'm sure we'll get another chance.

1262
01:13:55,097 --> 01:13:58,200
And yeah, what we're gonna do
is we're just gonna train extra,

1263
01:13:58,267 --> 01:14:01,103
extra hard until that moment comes
so that we'll be ready.

1264
01:14:01,170 --> 01:14:03,205
Yeah. And we could go
to all the open rings.

1265
01:14:03,272 --> 01:14:06,341
-We could go to the gym together.
-It's not y'all, listen to me.

1266
01:14:06,408 --> 01:14:08,744
Oh, my gosh, I love that book.
I love that book.

1267
01:14:08,811 --> 01:14:11,480
-Really? Awesome.
-Oh, books.

1268
01:14:11,547 --> 01:14:13,248
I love books too.

1269
01:14:14,149 --> 01:14:16,485
Come on. Let's go.

1270
01:14:17,119 --> 01:14:18,887
I see you big pimping,

1271
01:14:19,822 --> 01:14:21,490
game recognized game.

1272
01:14:21,557 --> 01:14:25,494
Although the bookworm thing
ain't my style,

1273
01:14:25,561 --> 01:14:29,898
my approach is a little bit more ballsy.

1274
01:14:31,533 --> 01:14:35,137
I'm just being myself, bro.
I'm just being myself.

1275
01:14:35,204 --> 01:14:37,039
What you reading anyway?

1276
01:14:37,105 --> 01:14:39,575
-"It ends with us."
-Oh, really?

1277
01:14:39,641 --> 01:14:42,077
Well, it can end with us
next week in the ring.

1278
01:14:45,380 --> 01:14:47,316
It's the name of the book.

1279
01:14:47,382 --> 01:14:50,953
[Vic] Oh, speaking of next week,
we heard from our general manager, Ava.

1280
01:14:51,019 --> 01:14:53,755
And next week
we'll have No Mercy implications.

1281
01:14:53,822 --> 01:14:57,626
First, these three men with the same goal,
to be NXT champion.

1282
01:14:57,693 --> 01:15:00,062
TNA wrestler Joe Hendry,
Wes Lee and Pete Dunne.

1283
01:15:00,128 --> 01:15:01,730
The winner will face Ethan Page

1284
01:15:01,797 --> 01:15:06,301
for the NXT title on September 1st
in Denver at No Mercy.

1285
01:15:06,368 --> 01:15:11,740
In addition, these six women
who have never had a Championship match,

1286
01:15:11,807 --> 01:15:15,644
will compete in the NXT
No Mercy Gauntlet Eliminator.

1287
01:15:15,711 --> 01:15:17,513
Who survives, who heads to Denver?

1288
01:15:17,579 --> 01:15:22,084
Next week we find out who faces Roxanne
for the NXT Women's Championship

1289
01:15:22,150 --> 01:15:24,152
at No Mercy.

1290
01:15:24,219 --> 01:15:27,422
At the Great American Bash,
a barbecue fight broke out.

1291
01:15:27,489 --> 01:15:29,424
Well, it's going to continue next week

1292
01:15:29,491 --> 01:15:32,261
when Honk Honk, Hank and Tank
face Gallows and Anderson.

1293
01:15:32,327 --> 01:15:35,330
It's Tag Team Action Live on NXT.

1294
01:15:35,397 --> 01:15:41,270
And after what transpired earlier tonight,
Lola Vice will face Wendy Choo.

1295
01:15:41,336 --> 01:15:46,308
Can Vice knock out Choo
or will Choo put Vice to sleep

1296
01:15:46,375 --> 01:15:48,944
on NXT Live next week?

1297
01:15:50,178 --> 01:15:53,348
But Booker, it is main event time
to see who is gonna head

1298
01:15:53,415 --> 01:15:56,652
to No Mercy with Tag Team Gold.

1299
01:16:01,390 --> 01:16:04,359
Because we talked about
Charlie Dempsey earlier tonight,

1300
01:16:04,426 --> 01:16:06,495
who became the new Heritage Cup champion?

1301
01:16:06,562 --> 01:16:10,265
I asked you,
should this be his final opportunity?

1302
01:16:10,332 --> 01:16:13,068
The final opportunity
for the No Quarter Catch Crew.

1303
01:16:13,135 --> 01:16:15,938
I will ask you the same question
here in our main event.

1304
01:16:16,004 --> 01:16:18,840
Should this be the final opportunity
for Chase University?

1305
01:16:18,907 --> 01:16:22,644
[Booker] You don't want to ask me that,
Big. You don't want to die. No, Big.

1306
01:16:22,711 --> 01:16:26,581
-[Vic] I thought you were a jerk.
-[Booker] No, no, Big. Serious, stop.

1307
01:16:26,648 --> 01:16:31,019
Chase, you have put themselves in
position for this match tonight at the--

1308
01:16:31,086 --> 01:16:34,957
At the behest of one man.
At the behest of one man, Ridge Holland.

1309
01:16:35,023 --> 01:16:38,627
Put them in this position.
Can they cash in? That's the question.

1310
01:16:38,694 --> 01:16:44,433
[Vic] I tell you. Look Chase. Looks to be
a team here. You need to get a Chase.

1311
01:16:44,499 --> 01:16:46,935
[inaudible] Booker T. On the back.

1312
01:16:47,002 --> 01:16:49,871
-What number would you wear?
-[Booker] Double wood.

1313
01:16:50,939 --> 01:16:52,274
[chuckles]

1314
01:16:52,341 --> 01:16:55,010
[celebratory music plays]

1315
01:16:56,345 --> 01:17:01,550
[Vic] You see the NXT Universe
to their feet, chanting, "Chase U."

1316
01:17:01,617 --> 01:17:06,188
And I'm sure they're going to be split
between the champions and the challengers.

1317
01:17:06,254 --> 01:17:08,957
[energetic music plays]

1318
01:17:14,863 --> 01:17:17,666
[crowd cheering]

1319
01:17:17,733 --> 01:17:20,035
[Vic] We heard from the champions earlier.

1320
01:17:20,102 --> 01:17:25,874
We've heard from them, go back and forth
for really months about Speed,

1321
01:17:25,941 --> 01:17:30,078
about this, about that.
Are they finally on the same page?

1322
01:17:30,145 --> 01:17:31,647
[Booker] You talk about Speed,

1323
01:17:31,713 --> 01:17:34,383
you talk about compete
for the Heritage Cup.

1324
01:17:34,449 --> 01:17:35,717
None of that matters.

1325
01:17:35,784 --> 01:17:39,588
They still go out and do one thing.
Do what they do best.

1326
01:17:39,655 --> 01:17:42,824
Win inside the middle
of that squad circle.

1327
01:17:42,891 --> 01:17:46,795
They are the best tag team
we've seen here at NXT in quite some time.

1328
01:17:46,862 --> 01:17:49,264
Give them their props.
Give them their props.

1329
01:17:49,331 --> 01:17:52,734
-Do that for me just once.
-[Vic] I've always given them their props.

1330
01:17:52,801 --> 01:17:56,238
What the hell are you talking about?
Talking to yourself?

1331
01:17:58,540 --> 01:17:59,708
[bell rings]

1332
01:17:59,775 --> 01:18:02,911
The following contest
scheduled for one fall,

1333
01:18:02,978 --> 01:18:09,584
is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

1334
01:18:09,651 --> 01:18:11,453
[crowd cheering]

1335
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:16,525
Introducing the challengers,
representing Chase University,

1336
01:18:16,591 --> 01:18:22,064
Ridge Holland and Andre Chase.

1337
01:18:22,130 --> 01:18:24,199
[crowd cheering]

1338
01:18:24,866 --> 01:18:31,406
And their opponents,
they are the NXT tag Team champions,

1339
01:18:31,473 --> 01:18:36,745
Nathan Frazer and Axiom.

1340
01:18:36,812 --> 01:18:38,213
[cheers and applause]

1341
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:41,483
-[Vic] I want you to do something for me.
-[Booker] What's that?

1342
01:18:41,550 --> 01:18:46,621
[Vic] Can you finally admit that
Ridge Holland has been good for Chase?

1343
01:18:46,688 --> 01:18:49,624
-[Booker] How many times have I said it?
-[Vic] You haven't.

1344
01:18:49,691 --> 01:18:52,360
[Booker] I have to say this again?
Do I have to say it again?

1345
01:18:52,427 --> 01:18:55,597
I trust Ridge Holland. He's like a snake.
I trust him to bite me.

1346
01:18:55,664 --> 01:18:58,166
-That's what I'm talking.
-[Vic] You trust him to bite you?

1347
01:18:58,233 --> 01:19:00,168
[Booker] That's exactly my point.
He's a snake.

1348
01:19:00,235 --> 01:19:02,304
He's gonna do
what he has to do to survive.

1349
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:05,507
-[Vic] You trust the snake to bite you.
-[Booker] The thing is,

1350
01:19:05,574 --> 01:19:08,376
I have no problem with Holland.
Let's just sit that out there.

1351
01:19:08,443 --> 01:19:10,312
I have no problem with Ridge Holland.

1352
01:19:10,378 --> 01:19:12,848
[Vic] What twilight zone
am I living in right now?

1353
01:19:12,914 --> 01:19:15,917
Where all of a sudden
you trust a snake to bite you? I mean--

1354
01:19:15,984 --> 01:19:18,887
-You just said you trust--
-[Booker] I said why would you?

1355
01:19:18,954 --> 01:19:20,755
That's what a snake does. Look here.

1356
01:19:20,822 --> 01:19:23,258
-[Vic] You're unreal.
-[Booker] Look at Holland.

1357
01:19:23,325 --> 01:19:25,327
[Vic] You're earning your money tonight.

1358
01:19:25,393 --> 01:19:27,996
-Into the cover.
-[Booker] …by any means necessary.

1359
01:19:28,063 --> 01:19:31,333
He's gonna do what he has to do
to walk away tag team champ.

1360
01:19:31,399 --> 01:19:32,601
I respect that.

1361
01:19:32,667 --> 01:19:34,936
[Vic] You just talked me into
a whole circle.

1362
01:19:35,003 --> 01:19:37,572
Nice drop kick by Axiom
makes it tag into Frazer.

1363
01:19:37,639 --> 01:19:40,041
I'm gonna get back in
to this Championship match.

1364
01:19:40,108 --> 01:19:43,178
Because there is a renewed excitement
within Chase University.

1365
01:19:43,245 --> 01:19:46,381
Obviously you can feel it.
All of a sudden you're on the Chase.

1366
01:19:46,448 --> 01:19:50,452
You bandwagon has Andre Chase
can't catch on to Frazer shoulder down.

1367
01:19:50,519 --> 01:19:53,855
[Booker] No, I'm just speaking facts
is what I'm talking about. They…

1368
01:19:53,922 --> 01:19:56,725
Axiom. Are they capable?
Of course they are.

1369
01:19:56,791 --> 01:19:59,628
Because they are one of
the best tag teams I've ever seen.

1370
01:19:59,694 --> 01:20:01,630
[Vic] I didn't ask you about
the champions.

1371
01:20:01,696 --> 01:20:03,231
I was talking about the challengers.

1372
01:20:03,298 --> 01:20:06,034
-With Chase U being excited.
-[Booker] I heard your question.

1373
01:20:06,101 --> 01:20:08,537
[Vic] Holland now trying to
overcome overpowered.

1374
01:20:08,603 --> 01:20:11,106
-[Booker] Which bag was made.
-[Vic] Axiom is in.

1375
01:20:11,173 --> 01:20:14,209
He is legal. Holland nasty spill
over the top champions.

1376
01:20:14,276 --> 01:20:16,611
By the way, defending it back.

1377
01:20:16,678 --> 01:20:19,047
They got the job done last week.

1378
01:20:19,114 --> 01:20:23,185
They said they are locked in here
to [indistinct] on Chase.

1379
01:20:23,251 --> 01:20:25,987
Well, I think I know
what's going to happen here.

1380
01:20:26,054 --> 01:20:29,524
But first is Frazer. Here comes Axiom.

1381
01:20:29,591 --> 01:20:33,428
Tag team titles on the line.
They never slow.

1382
01:20:33,495 --> 01:20:35,597
[inaudible]

1383
01:20:35,664 --> 01:20:39,234
[Booker] These two guys are incredible.
Oh yes.

1384
01:20:39,301 --> 01:20:41,369
[cheers and applause]

1385
01:20:41,436 --> 01:20:43,839
[Vic] Champions certainly
on the same page.

1386
01:20:43,905 --> 01:20:47,309
Jonas II the action.
Who's walking out with gold?

1387
01:20:47,375 --> 01:20:50,345
[cheers and applause]

1388
01:20:50,412 --> 01:20:53,982
[Vic] NXT tag team tunnels on the line.
This is the main event of NXT.

1389
01:20:54,049 --> 01:20:57,619
The challengers. Chase U,
trying to turn this on the champion.

1390
01:20:57,686 --> 01:20:58,887
Axiom.

1391
01:20:58,954 --> 01:21:01,890
Back to back defenses of the titles.

1392
01:21:01,957 --> 01:21:04,826
Both men down.
This place becoming unglued.

1393
01:21:04,893 --> 01:21:08,296
There's what it's all for.
The NXT tag team titles and Booker,

1394
01:21:08,363 --> 01:21:09,564
as a former champion,

1395
01:21:09,631 --> 01:21:12,834
did you like defending the titles
week in and week out?

1396
01:21:12,901 --> 01:21:15,737
[Booker] Oh, here we go.
You just gotta stay intuitive.

1397
01:21:15,804 --> 01:21:19,174
You wanna stay ready
so you don't have to get ready.

1398
01:21:19,241 --> 01:21:22,410
[Vic] Ridge Holland has been ready
for this moment

1399
01:21:22,477 --> 01:21:25,113
to show what he is gonna bring to
Chase University.

1400
01:21:25,180 --> 01:21:28,083
Said he was faithful earlier tonight
for the fair chance

1401
01:21:28,149 --> 01:21:29,851
for those that believe in him.

1402
01:21:29,918 --> 01:21:34,356
He even got a mighty big apology from Duke
and Riley who apologized him earlier.

1403
01:21:34,422 --> 01:21:36,791
And he just caught
a human man like a fish.

1404
01:21:36,858 --> 01:21:42,063
And now just dropped with a DDTS move
to bring the title to Chase U. Cover.

1405
01:21:42,130 --> 01:21:45,834
Axiom just got
that right shoulder off the mat.

1406
01:21:45,901 --> 01:21:49,504
[Booker inaudible]

1407
01:21:49,571 --> 01:21:53,675
…and that right there is a motive.
Trust me, man.

1408
01:21:53,742 --> 01:21:56,411
[Vic] Well, it was Axiom
who earlier tonight admitted

1409
01:21:56,478 --> 01:22:00,548
that Ridge adds a different element
of power to Chase U.

1410
01:22:00,615 --> 01:22:04,686
Unlike the matchup, these two teams
had a couple of weeks ago,

1411
01:22:04,753 --> 01:22:09,124
a couple of months ago in Toronto when
it was Duke Cutson and Andre Chase.

1412
01:22:09,190 --> 01:22:12,093
-What a tag team matchup that was.
-[Booker] Oh, beautiful.

1413
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,996
No doubt, no doubt.
Ridge Holland is a power out.

1414
01:22:15,063 --> 01:22:19,467
That's all we see. Double up.
Double up one time. That's it.

1415
01:22:19,534 --> 01:22:22,103
[cheers and applause]

1416
01:22:22,170 --> 01:22:24,606
[Vic] I don't know
if you can read Frazer's lips,

1417
01:22:24,673 --> 01:22:26,608
but he said, "You gotta be kidding me."

1418
01:22:26,675 --> 01:22:28,877
Take another look at that 450

1419
01:22:28,943 --> 01:22:31,579
'cause Frazer got all of it.
Back to the live action.

1420
01:22:31,646 --> 01:22:35,383
We're seeing kick after kick
from the champions.

1421
01:22:36,318 --> 01:22:39,688
Frazer got wiped out.
Axiom now being dealt with.

1422
01:22:41,222 --> 01:22:43,491
Into the crowd. I believe a tag was made.

1423
01:22:43,558 --> 01:22:46,828
[Booker] One man record right there by R--

1424
01:22:46,895 --> 01:22:49,164
[Vic] Andre Case stopping Ridge Holland.

1425
01:22:49,230 --> 01:22:50,765
Doesn't look like a snake now.

1426
01:22:50,832 --> 01:22:53,168
He looks like one half
of the tag team champion.

1427
01:22:53,234 --> 01:22:54,436
Frazer saved this match.

1428
01:22:54,502 --> 01:22:56,004
[Booker] Wow. So close.

1429
01:22:56,071 --> 01:22:58,840
That's what tag team work
is all about right there.

1430
01:22:58,907 --> 01:23:02,911
You gotta be watching
your partner's back at all times, Big.

1431
01:23:02,978 --> 01:23:05,647
[crowd cheering]

1432
01:23:05,714 --> 01:23:09,684
[Vic] Risking it all as Frazer can
actually with Frazer, they've been off,

1433
01:23:09,751 --> 01:23:11,252
but they've been victorious.

1434
01:23:11,319 --> 01:23:14,155
They said tonight
they are focused on the gold

1435
01:23:14,222 --> 01:23:16,358
as Axiom able to counter for a moment.

1436
01:23:16,424 --> 01:23:17,425
Goes up over.

1437
01:23:18,727 --> 01:23:23,131
From Chase and trying to look around,
I don't see Holland.

1438
01:23:23,198 --> 01:23:26,267
-Andre Chase now is legal.
-[Booker] Oh, here we go, Vic.

1439
01:23:26,334 --> 01:23:30,372
Axiom, Nathan Frazer about to
throw caution to the wind.

1440
01:23:30,438 --> 01:23:33,475
[Vic] We've seen this in the past,
that combination offense,

1441
01:23:33,541 --> 01:23:37,846
but nice job by Frazer. Able to run in,
run a little bit of interference and goal.

1442
01:23:39,214 --> 01:23:43,918
Well, in recent weeks we've seen Axiom
and Frazer connect with those kicks.

1443
01:23:43,985 --> 01:23:48,156
But here tonight,
they're able to wipe out and take out.

1444
01:23:48,223 --> 01:23:51,026
Ridge Holland is now to the top.

1445
01:23:51,092 --> 01:23:53,828
Tag. Axiom is legal.

1446
01:23:53,895 --> 01:23:56,664
Superplexed by Nathan Frazer.
Lifts him up.

1447
01:23:56,731 --> 01:23:58,166
[crowd cheering]

1448
01:23:58,233 --> 01:24:01,002
[Booker] That's it.

1449
01:24:01,069 --> 01:24:03,605
-[inaudible]
-[crowd cheering]

1450
01:24:03,671 --> 01:24:06,741
-[Booker] You gotta be kidding me.
-[Vic] Say it again.

1451
01:24:06,808 --> 01:24:12,013
[Booker] You gotta be kidding me.

1452
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,516
[Vic] This place is becoming unglued.

1453
01:24:14,582 --> 01:24:18,586
This is our main event of NXT
for the NXT tag team titles.

1454
01:24:18,653 --> 01:24:21,790
This is the third
Championship match of the night

1455
01:24:21,856 --> 01:24:24,993
[crowd chanting] NXT!

1456
01:24:27,996 --> 01:24:31,466
[Vic] And everyone is on their feet.
Look around.

1457
01:24:31,533 --> 01:24:35,470
You got to be loving tag team action
under the spotlight.

1458
01:24:35,537 --> 01:24:39,674
[Booker] Like I said,
going into the deep waters right there.

1459
01:24:39,741 --> 01:24:43,711
Going to have a test report
to stab in a Vic.

1460
01:24:43,778 --> 01:24:45,213
[Vic] Nice counter there by Axiom.

1461
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,515
Axiom, though,
who's a master at submissions,

1462
01:24:47,582 --> 01:24:49,050
follows up with a close line.

1463
01:24:49,117 --> 01:24:51,186
Andre Chase fought up with a boot.

1464
01:24:51,252 --> 01:24:54,122
Nice job by Frazer,
who was able to hold on to the tag rope.

1465
01:24:54,189 --> 01:24:57,625
Great job by the official.
Frazer didn't connect. Ridge Holland now.

1466
01:24:57,692 --> 01:25:01,596
Now here's that power on display
with a backstabber.

1467
01:25:02,630 --> 01:25:07,035
Titles on the line.
Ridge into the cover. Frazer kicked out.

1468
01:25:07,102 --> 01:25:10,371
Just got that right shoulder up. Oh, my.

1469
01:25:10,438 --> 01:25:14,776
Mike Rome's hair almost jumped off
his damn head. Take a look.

1470
01:25:14,843 --> 01:25:16,911
Bam. The whack stabber combo.

1471
01:25:16,978 --> 01:25:18,580
Holland fell into the cover.

1472
01:25:18,646 --> 01:25:22,117
No accent no problem for Nathan Frazer.

1473
01:25:22,183 --> 01:25:25,286
[crowd chanting]

1474
01:25:28,123 --> 01:25:30,892
[Vic] But you always talk about
deep waters, Book.

1475
01:25:30,959 --> 01:25:35,130
The champions have been there.
Ridge Holland, Andre Chase have not.

1476
01:25:35,196 --> 01:25:38,099
They got to stay composed
right in this moment.

1477
01:25:38,166 --> 01:25:40,468
[Booker] Yeah, they gotta stay composed.

1478
01:25:40,535 --> 01:25:44,305
Holland, like I say, is fighting for
something that he's never had before.

1479
01:25:44,372 --> 01:25:47,442
That Championship goal.
And to do it with the teeth of family.

1480
01:25:47,509 --> 01:25:49,644
That's a little something
different as well.

1481
01:25:49,711 --> 01:25:51,179
[Vic] You got to wonder now

1482
01:25:51,246 --> 01:25:54,949
if the champions are starting to maybe
change up their game plan on the fly.

1483
01:25:55,016 --> 01:25:57,619
We've seen this, though,
multiple times in the past.

1484
01:25:57,685 --> 01:25:59,120
It's what won them gold.

1485
01:25:59,187 --> 01:26:03,491
It's what retained gold.
Axiom looking for that super Spanish fly.

1486
01:26:03,558 --> 01:26:05,426
Axiom got all of it.

1487
01:26:05,493 --> 01:26:06,528
[crowd cheering]

1488
01:26:06,594 --> 01:26:08,663
[Vic] Frazer now starting his climb.

1489
01:26:08,730 --> 01:26:12,901
Axiom pushing Holland into place.
Wait a minute.

1490
01:26:12,967 --> 01:26:14,802
[crowd cheering]

1491
01:26:14,869 --> 01:26:18,540
[Vic] Andre Chase
saving things for his team

1492
01:26:18,606 --> 01:26:23,478
because Nathan Frazer was looking
for that Phoenix splash.

1493
01:26:23,545 --> 01:26:25,280
Golden Ratio. Knocked out Chase.

1494
01:26:25,346 --> 01:26:28,850
[Booker] Chase did the right thing.
He did the right thing.

1495
01:26:28,917 --> 01:26:32,687
He saved his partner
with kid teleport to gold.

1496
01:26:32,754 --> 01:26:34,689
[Vic] Passive turn inside of him.

1497
01:26:34,756 --> 01:26:40,828
Ridge Holland into the cover.
And Chase U is back to the mountain top.

1498
01:26:40,895 --> 01:26:42,430
[cheers and applause]

1499
01:26:42,497 --> 01:26:47,735
[Mike] And the new

1500
01:26:47,802 --> 01:26:52,106
NXT Tag team champions,

1501
01:26:52,173 --> 01:26:58,680
Chase University,
Andre Chase and Ridge Holland.

1502
01:26:58,746 --> 01:27:04,118
[Vic] Ridge Holland kept his promise
to Andre Chase,

1503
01:27:04,185 --> 01:27:08,223
to Riley Osborne, to the MVP, Duke Hudson,

1504
01:27:08,289 --> 01:27:12,260
to Thea Hail and the rest of
Chase University.

1505
01:27:13,628 --> 01:27:17,198
He did what he said he would do.

1506
01:27:17,265 --> 01:27:22,136
And that was bring gold back to campus.

1507
01:27:22,203 --> 01:27:24,405
[celebratory music plays]

1508
01:27:24,472 --> 01:27:27,141
[Vic] We gotta go back to this.

1509
01:27:27,208 --> 01:27:30,411
The champions, they did it right here.

1510
01:27:30,478 --> 01:27:33,081
That Golden Ratio brainbuster combo.

1511
01:27:33,147 --> 01:27:36,217
That is what has won them
matches in the past,

1512
01:27:36,284 --> 01:27:40,054
what has led them to retain
the Championship in the past.

1513
01:27:40,121 --> 01:27:43,758
Here though, this combination
from Ridge Holland and Andre Chase.

1514
01:27:43,825 --> 01:27:44,826
Ridge Holland,

1515
01:27:44,892 --> 01:27:48,763
I believe everyone else in this moment
thought Frazer was done.

1516
01:27:48,830 --> 01:27:51,733
He would show the heart of a champion.
He would kick out.

1517
01:27:51,799 --> 01:27:55,003
Like we've seen though, over
and over again for weeks and weeks,

1518
01:27:55,069 --> 01:27:56,271
for months and months.

1519
01:27:56,337 --> 01:27:58,439
First, that Phoenix splash.

1520
01:27:58,506 --> 01:28:01,843
Finn right here
would not happen for Nathan.

1521
01:28:01,909 --> 01:28:07,882
Frazer countered because Andre Chase,
the teacher himself, studied tape.

1522
01:28:07,949 --> 01:28:14,222
He saw what was coming to open the door
for Ridge Holland to keep his word,

1523
01:28:14,289 --> 01:28:19,627
to keep his promise and Book,
let the party begin.

1524
01:28:20,328 --> 01:28:22,797
The students have rushed the ring.

1525
01:28:22,864 --> 01:28:25,600
The former champions in disbelief.

1526
01:28:25,667 --> 01:28:29,437
What a way to close out the summer.

1527
01:28:29,504 --> 01:28:31,639
[crowd cheering]

1528
01:28:33,207 --> 01:28:39,714
[Vic] We have new NXT Tag Team champions.

1529
01:28:43,284 --> 01:28:47,255
Book, I hope they got the quad ready.

1530
01:28:49,223 --> 01:28:51,225
[Booker] Clean all this stuff up.

1531
01:28:51,292 --> 01:28:53,261
[Vic] Not my problem. Not your problem.

1532
01:28:53,327 --> 01:28:56,364
We had the best seat in the house.

1533
01:28:56,431 --> 01:28:58,533
I want to go back.

1534
01:28:58,599 --> 01:29:01,803
One more look at Ridge Holland,

1535
01:29:01,869 --> 01:29:04,539
who you said was fighting for his family,

1536
01:29:04,605 --> 01:29:06,641
was fighting with something different.

1537
01:29:06,708 --> 01:29:09,310
He showed a different side
of himself tonight.

1538
01:29:09,377 --> 01:29:12,780
He showed the heart of a warrior,
a man who kept his word.

1539
01:29:12,847 --> 01:29:17,618
You can see the joy,
the happiness in everyone

1540
01:29:17,685 --> 01:29:21,489
from Chase University as they party now.

1541
01:29:22,390 --> 01:29:24,592
Snow angels in the confetti.

1542
01:29:26,361 --> 01:29:28,663
You can't help but smile.

1543
01:29:28,730 --> 01:29:32,667
You can't help but be happy
for Chase University,

1544
01:29:32,734 --> 01:29:37,805
for everything that Andre Chase,
for the University itself,

1545
01:29:37,872 --> 01:29:43,578
has had to go through over the last year
to get back to the top of the mountain.

1546
01:29:43,644 --> 01:29:45,279
Gold is back.

1547
01:29:45,346 --> 01:29:50,451
Congratulations. And here on NXT,
it's all about the U.

1548
01:29:51,586 --> 01:29:54,622
Subtitles: Jessica Fanelli
n NXT,
it's all about the U.
