Both, of course on WWE Speed,
they just weren't focused.

was Duke Hudson was the one

That's the motto, of course,
of Nathan Frazer.

113
00:08:23,936 --> 00:08:27,106
What advice then do you give the
former champions on searching for those

114
00:08:27,173 --> 00:08:30,710
outside opportunities as solo competitors?

115
00:08:30,776 --> 00:08:34,847
[Book] You gotta have tunnel vision, Vic.
You gotta stay focused at all times.

116
00:08:34,914 --> 00:08:38,985
Keep your eyes on the prize. And that is
right now the Tag Team Championship.

117
00:08:39,051 --> 00:08:42,021
[Vic] Well, tag was made. Here comes

118
00:08:42,088 --> 00:08:47,159
the massive Ridge Holland
with all that strength. Take a look.

119
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:49,428
-[Book] Whoa.
-[Vic] Pure power.

120
00:08:49,495 --> 00:08:53,266
[Book] It just manhandling right there,
Vic. That's call.

121
00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:58,271

suplex with a little extra oomph

122
00:08:58,337 --> 00:09:01,540
into the cover, no hook of a leg
and a kickout here in this match.

123
00:09:01,607 --> 00:09:04,844
Of course, the challenger suppose to see
Blake Howard on the countdown to No Mercy.

124
00:09:04,911 --> 00:09:06,812
They seem poised, prime and ready tonight.

125
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:08,981
But the same could be said
for the champions.

126
00:09:09,048 --> 00:09:12,718
[Book] You see that Ridge Holland.
Quick in, quick out. Beautiful.

-Beautiful Tag Team. Oh, so close.
-[Vic] Another cover. Another kickout.

Look, Chase University,
they have been looking strong early on.

129

the powerhouse Ridge Holland,

133
00:09:30,169 --> 00:09:31,837
[Book] Oh, yes.

134
00:09:31,904 --> 00:09:34,540

Off the DDT into the cover, a near fall.

135
00:09:34,607 --> 00:09:37,009

of that work right there.

Keep the pedal down, man.

137
00:09:41,547 --> 00:09:44,383
[Vic] Talk about Axiom and Frazer,
that interview earlier, we talked to him

138
00:09:44,450 --> 00:09:48,821
during the week, they were opponents
at one point. They were rivals.

139
00:09:48,888 --> 00:09:52,792
They came together to become champions,
to start taking it to the next level.

140
00:09:52,858 --> 00:09:55,628
Take a look at their overall record
in various Tag Team competitions.

141
00:09:55,695 --> 00:09:57,163
They're eleven and six.

142
00:09:57,229 --> 00:10:00,533
But they have been very impressive
over the summer. Bam! Nice kick.

143
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,668
[Book]
It's like Houdini said back in the day.

144

Two people sharing one common cause,
and that is to become the best. Oh, yes.

145
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,911
[Vic] Point from you. Stereo superkick
shooting star, cover for the title!

146
00:10:11,978 --> 00:10:15,381
-Chase just got that right shoulder up.
-[Book] Man.

147
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:18,918
I'll tell you right now. Frazer and Axiom
right now working beautiful together.

148
00:10:18,985 --> 00:10:21,854
[Vic] Boom! Bam!

149
00:10:21,921 --> 00:10:27,093
And then followed it up with almost
bringing the titles back to become

150
00:10:27,159 --> 00:10:29,495
two-time NXT Tag Team Champions.

151
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:33,065
Another tag was made and I just looked
up from the monitor. Ridge Holland down.

152
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:35,501
Do not see him.
Andre Chase is at this loan.

153
00:10:35,568 --> 00:10:38,070
Kind of what we saw
when he teamed with Duke Hudson.

154
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:41,207
Would he go back to Toronto,
would he go back to Heatwave?

155
00:10:41,273 --> 00:10:45,077
Andre Chase now gonna have to put
Chase U on his back for a little bit.

156
00:10:45,144 --> 00:10:47,747
[Book] I really don't like
all the cheerleaders out here.

157
00:10:47,813 --> 00:10:52,618
That's a disadvantage for Frazer
and Axiom. It really truly is, Vic.

158
00:10:53,152 --> 00:10:54,954
[Vic] Axiom with the ankle lock in.

159
00:10:55,021 --> 00:10:57,790
But look where Axiom's positioned,
so close to his corner.

160
00:10:57,857 --> 00:11:02,094
But a nice counter by Andre Chase.
And then both men,

161
00:11:02,161 --> 00:11:08,267
same idea. Double clothesline.
Both teams down. Who can rally?

162
00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:12,138
This could be the pivotal moment
of this matchup.

163
00:11:12,204 --> 00:11:15,675
[Book] Definitely is right there.
Who's going to make that tag first?

164
00:11:15,741 --> 00:11:18,844
[Vic] It looks like it was almost
at the same time as Holland back in.

165
00:11:18,911 --> 00:11:20,946
But there's Frazer. Oh!

166
00:11:21,013 --> 00:11:24,650
Misses with the right gets you with
the left. Another big suplex by Ridge.

167
00:11:24,717 --> 00:11:27,119
[Book] That's the difference maker
right there. The game changer.

168
00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:31,757
[Vic] And how does a force like Ridge
change the complexities of this matchup?

169
00:11:31,824 --> 00:11:34,927
[Book] Exactly my point, come in
right now. Look, it's all muscle.

170
00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:38,798
You gotta compete with that right there.
I don't think Frazer or Axiom can do it.

171
00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:44,070
-Oh my God, man.
-[Vic] Into a DDT into a cover. But no!

172
00:11:45,404 --> 00:11:48,708
Was not enough to retain the titles
in the game.

173
00:11:48,774 --> 00:11:52,645
High impact offense from Ridge Holland.
And you know,

174
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,914
you gotta take a look at this match.
If you start looking ahead,

175
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:58,117
you look ahead to the next premium live
event, of course, which is in October,

176
00:11:58,184 --> 00:12:01,487
Halloween Havoc, the CW.
You know, debut in a few weeks,

177
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:04,356
take a look at the Tag Team Division.
What is the current state of the division?

178
00:12:04,423 --> 00:12:07,493
[Book] I really think the Tag Team
Division is wide open right now.

179
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,862
If you're looking for somebody
to step in there and do something

180
00:12:09,929 --> 00:12:11,864
right now,
we're looking at the Tag Team Champion.

181
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:15,167
But how long they're going to hold on
to it? That's the question. Oh, wow!

182
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,069
[Vic]
Strength again. And you got to remember,

183
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,905
for Ridge Holland, six years.
Six years to finally

184
00:12:19,972 --> 00:12:21,741
wear gold here in this company.

185
00:12:21,807 --> 00:12:25,010
And he's fighting like it's his last day.
He's landed on the line.

186
00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:26,178
And Ridge going to the top.

187
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:29,748
[Book] I'm going to tell you right now,
Vic, that first championship,

188
00:12:29,815 --> 00:12:33,719
it's like the precious, man.
You won't never want to lose it.

189
00:12:33,786 --> 00:12:39,358
[Vic] All the way from the top.
Holland into the cover.

190
00:12:39,425 --> 00:12:43,295
-And Frazer flying through the air.
-[Book] Wow. Out of nowhere, Vic.

191
00:12:43,362 --> 00:12:48,601
That right there tells me a lot about
this team here tonight. They're in sync.

192
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:49,902
[Vic] You bring up the team.

193
00:12:49,969 --> 00:12:53,139
It's hard to believe too when you think
of Andre Chase and Ridge Holland.

194
00:12:53,205 --> 00:12:56,342
This is just the second time
they've ever teamed together.

195
00:12:56,408 --> 00:12:58,911
The first time they won Tag Team gold,

196
00:12:58,978 --> 00:13:01,881
as Denver rising to their feet
here at No Mercy.

197
00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:04,016
[Book]
It seems like a one man record crew.

198
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:08,854
Ridge Holland is doing all the work.
Where the hell is Andre Chase?

199
00:13:08,921 --> 00:13:12,024
[Vic] Talk about doing all the work.
It is a two for one, Axiom,

200
00:13:12,091 --> 00:13:16,128
Frazer working as a unit into the cover,
hook of the leg. And another kickout.

201
00:13:16,195 --> 00:13:18,664
[Book] Gonna take a whole lot of that
right there too, Vic.

202
00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:22,001
Double up. Double up, one more time, man.

203
00:13:22,067 --> 00:13:25,337
[Vic]
Hank and Tank, OTM, Edris, Malik, Gallus.

204
00:13:25,404 --> 00:13:29,208
Also Riley and Duke on the outside.
All those teams watching this match

205
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:33,112
so closely with a Tag Team Division
hanging in the balance.

206
00:13:33,179 --> 00:13:35,381
Big headbutt, finally a tag.
Well, let's see.

207
00:13:35,447 --> 00:13:38,751
-Andre Chase now, Book.
-[Book] Exactly what he got, Vic.

208
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:41,754
Let's see exactly what the people…
He's the president

209
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:44,723
-of the U, right?
-[Vic] President? He's Chase U.

210
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:47,026
It's after him, he's not the president…
Never mind.

211
00:13:47,092 --> 00:13:49,528
We'll explain that later.
Because right now to the top rope.

212
00:13:49,595 --> 00:13:51,864
We've seen this before, that Spanish fly.

213
00:13:51,931 --> 00:13:55,801
But look at Ridge Holland running
a little deep. Oh, miscommunication!

214
00:13:55,868 --> 00:13:58,404
Axiom just got dropped.

215
00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:01,140
[Book] Wow. We don't see that
too often out of this team right here.

216
00:14:01,207 --> 00:14:04,343
-Oh. What is Andre Chase going to do?
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

217
00:14:04,410 --> 00:14:09,181
-[Book] It's not his comfort zone.
-[Vic] No way. Tit for tat!

218
00:14:09,248 --> 00:14:11,483
Spanish fly from Chase!

219
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:15,588
Turn it around! Double underhook
sit down powerbomb

220
00:14:15,654 --> 00:14:19,291
to retain! Oh, no, no, no. Not yet.

221
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:23,128
-[Book] Wow!
-[Vic] Thea Hail beside herself. Wow.

222
00:14:23,195 --> 00:14:27,566
[Book] Resilience from Axiom.
The kickout of that big shot.

223
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:30,069
Wow.

224
00:14:30,135 --> 00:14:33,205
-[crowd] NXT, NXT, NXT!
-[Vic] Bam!

225
00:14:33,272 --> 00:14:37,343
Hold on. You talked about the resilience
of Axiom, give credit to Andre Chase.

226
00:14:37,409 --> 00:14:41,614
-This man is pulling out all the stops.
-[Book] Give Andre Chase a lot of credit.

227
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,384
But you got to give Axiom a little bit
more for that kickout right there.

228
00:14:45,451 --> 00:14:47,119
That was it, Vic.

229
00:14:47,786 --> 00:14:50,022
[Vic] Oh, able to catch for a second.

230
00:14:50,089 --> 00:14:55,227
There comes that power again
of Ridge Holland lighting up Axiom.

231
00:14:55,294 --> 00:14:56,295
[Book] God.

232
00:14:56,362 --> 00:14:59,331
[Vic] And as much credit as I give
Andre Chase for getting Chase U back

233
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:03,202
on the right path,
it's also Ridge Holland who really,

234
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:05,638
since he's been accepted in to Chase U,

235
00:15:05,704 --> 00:15:10,609
has ruled the entire campus.
Their confidence has gotten a huge boost.

236
00:15:10,676 --> 00:15:14,013
[Book] So you buy in to Ridge Holland
by any means… No, no.

237
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:15,814
-By any means necessary?
-[Vic] Always have.

238
00:15:15,881 --> 00:15:18,217
-[Book] You've seen what he's done.
-[Vic] Boom!

239
00:15:18,284 --> 00:15:21,720
Superkick under the jaw,
Ridge, Axiom, the only one standing.

240
00:15:21,787 --> 00:15:24,256
Now it looks like he's going to fly.

241
00:15:28,327 --> 00:15:31,196
And now Frazer. Whoa!

242
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:34,266
[shouts from the crowd]

243
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:39,138
[Vic] Axiom.
Oh, I've seen this movie once before.

244
00:15:39,204 --> 00:15:41,206
Oh!

245
00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:43,776
[grunts]

246
00:15:43,842 --> 00:15:48,080
[Vic] And again, Ridge just overpowering.

247
00:15:48,147 --> 00:15:50,783
[crowd booing]

248
00:15:50,849 --> 00:15:53,319
[Vic] And look at Axiom and Frazier
bouncing right back.

249
00:15:53,385 --> 00:15:58,457
[Book] Oh, baby. Not tonight, not tonight.

250
00:15:59,758 --> 00:16:00,926
[crowd] Oh!

251
00:16:00,993 --> 00:16:04,863
[Vic] Chase got wiped out.
Axiom, Frazer right now.

252
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:07,833
Booker, steal your phrase.
They're rocking and rolling.

253
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:10,336
[Book] Oh, yeah, man. Oh, yeah.

254
00:16:10,402 --> 00:16:13,772
I see something special coming. Oh, yes.

255
00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:17,109
[Vic]
Frog splash connects. Axiom is legal.

256
00:16:17,943 --> 00:16:20,179
Big kick under the jaw

257
00:16:20,245 --> 00:16:25,417
of Ridge Holland. But wait a minute.
Frazer! Wait, is Frazer legal?

258
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:29,254
-[Book] That's it. That's it.
-[Vic] Oh, my gosh. That was close.

259
00:16:29,321 --> 00:16:31,857
-[Book] Got to be kidding me.
-[Vic] So much action.

260
00:16:31,924 --> 00:16:36,095
I forgot that Frazer
was a legal superstar. And take a look.

261
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:39,498
He was able to fool everybody. Bam!

262
00:16:40,733 --> 00:16:45,504
-And just not enough.
-[Book] Decision timing on that.

263
00:16:47,473 --> 00:16:50,275
Just couldn't get the cover,
just couldn't get the three-count.

264
00:16:50,342 --> 00:16:53,312
[Vic] What a way to kick off No mercy.
I said it once, I'll say it again.

265
00:16:53,379 --> 00:16:55,314
Chase, nice catch. Nice counter, though.

266
00:16:55,381 --> 00:16:57,683
Coming right back in with a boot
was Andre Chase.

267
00:16:57,750 --> 00:17:01,320
Step up enzuiguri.
Right back with a back fist.

268
00:17:01,387 --> 00:17:05,357
Chase barking at Holland.
Ridge's back up. Oh, and he's going up.

269
00:17:05,424 --> 00:17:08,394
[Book] Here comes the muscle.
Here comes the muscle.

270
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:10,763
The muscle is about to fly, Vic.

271
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:13,799
-Oh, yeah!
-[Vic] Doomsday device.

272
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,969
[crowd] One, two…

273
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:20,172
[Vic] You got to be kidding me.

274
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:25,544
This just shows you what it means
to these two teams to be the Tag Team

275
00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:27,679
-Champions here in NXT.
-[Book] I must say,

276
00:17:27,746 --> 00:17:31,950
they're letting it all hang out tonight,
leaving everything on the line,

277
00:17:32,017 --> 00:17:35,921
everything in the middle
of that squared circle. You gotta love it.

278
00:17:36,488 --> 00:17:39,224
-[Vic] Combination offensive.
-[Book] Wow!

279
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:45,531
[Vic] Right back into a big slam,
into the cover, and… Oh!

280
00:17:45,931 --> 00:17:49,368
And Axiom was able to rise back up.

281
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:53,138
You talked about presence of mind,
knowing where you're at.

282
00:17:53,205 --> 00:17:55,841
[Book] Ridge Holland
was trying to secure the pitfall there,

283
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:59,144
-but got caught out of position.
-[Vic] This our opening contest,

284
00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:04,850
the first of five championship matches
here at No Mercy. We're in Denver.

285
00:18:05,284 --> 00:18:08,353
The atmosphere has been electric,

286
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:11,957
as these four have been tearing
the house down. And again,

287
00:18:12,024 --> 00:18:14,726
I'll say it one more time.
This is how we're starting the night.

288
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:16,462
[Book] Just getting kicked off, Vic.

289
00:18:16,528 --> 00:18:19,731
For the people just tuning in,
this is the first match.

290
00:18:19,798 --> 00:18:25,070
[Vic] Nice roundhouse kick from Frazer,
who now hoists up Chase.

291
00:18:25,804 --> 00:18:28,574
These two teams
who know each other so very well,

292
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,311
you gotta wonder, what is it going
to take to keep the other one down?

293
00:18:32,377 --> 00:18:35,047
[Book] The battle scars
on the back of Nathan Frazer.

294
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:39,751
I say, let it all hang out here tonight.
Vic, they want those titles back.

295
00:18:39,818 --> 00:18:44,056
-[Vic] Oh! Did you see that tag?
-[Book] Beautiful tag. Beautiful tag.

296
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,458
This is how they became
number one contenders.

297
00:18:46,525 --> 00:18:50,062
[Book] That's it! That's it!
New Tag Team Champions.

298
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:53,165
-[Vic] Golden ratio! Chase kicked out.
-[Book] What the…

299
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:58,504
[Vic] It may be those cheerleaders,
as you call them, on the outside,

300
00:18:58,570 --> 00:19:01,240
giving Andre Chase
a little extra here tonight.

301
00:19:01,306 --> 00:19:03,842
But now, looking for that golden ratio.

302
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:08,046
Oh, miscommunication.
We've seen this in the past.

303
00:19:10,115 --> 00:19:17,122
Frazer's out. Axiom doesn't realize
Ridge Holland is the legal superstar.

304
00:19:17,956 --> 00:19:19,992
Maybe he didn't realize it then.

305
00:19:20,058 --> 00:19:23,662
-He certainly knows now.
-[Book] Good night.

306
00:19:24,863 --> 00:19:28,100
[Vic] Powerbomb backstabber.

307
00:19:29,034 --> 00:19:31,870
Chase U still…

308
00:19:31,937 --> 00:19:35,007
-What?
-[Book] No, no, no, no.

309
00:19:35,073 --> 00:19:38,110
-[Vic] What?
-[Book] Oh, hell, no.

310
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:40,178
[Vic] How?

311
00:19:42,581 --> 00:19:45,417
-How, Book?
-[Book] The gold, Vic.

312
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:49,788
Like I say, the gold
will make you do strange things, Vic.

313
00:19:50,589 --> 00:19:53,592
[crowd] NXT, NXT, NXT!

314
00:19:56,061 --> 00:19:57,229
[Vic] NXT Universe.

315
00:19:57,296 --> 00:20:03,268
Frazer! Drop kick took out Holland, but
also that momentum took down Andre Chase.

316
00:20:05,904 --> 00:20:09,775
-Flying through the air, never slow down.
-[Book] Wow.

317
00:20:09,841 --> 00:20:12,311
[Vic] That's the motto of Frazer
and Axiom. Back into the ring.

318
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:15,514
Inside cradle, inside cradle!

319
00:20:15,581 --> 00:20:17,049
[Book] Wow.

320
00:20:17,616 --> 00:20:20,385
[Vic] Back up. Nice duck and a big

321
00:20:20,452 --> 00:20:25,190
swinging neck breaker from Andre Chase.
And again, you talked about stepping

322
00:20:25,257 --> 00:20:27,492
out of your playbook,
stepping out of your comfort zone.

323
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:30,963
Chase did it one more time.
This time, it will not pay off.

324
00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:34,733
[Book] I was going to say Andre Chase got
a chance to show me a little something,

325
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,202
but got caught watching the paint dry.

326
00:20:37,269 --> 00:20:40,472
[Vic] You saw that tag,
because Frazer's now leaving.

327
00:20:40,539 --> 00:20:43,508
This is the combo. It's the Spanish Fly.

328
00:20:43,575 --> 00:20:48,547
And then you follow it up with a little
Phoenix splash here in the Mile High City,

329
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:53,185
into the cover,
and the challengers reclaim the titles!

330
00:20:53,585 --> 00:20:55,887
[announcer] Here are your winners,

331
00:20:55,954 --> 00:21:02,628
the new NXT Tag Team Champions,

332
00:21:02,694 --> 00:21:06,632
Nathan Frazer and Axiom.

333
00:21:06,698 --> 00:21:08,433
[crowd cheering]

334
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:10,636
-[Book] Wow.
-[Vic] Oh, they deserve that, Book.

335
00:21:10,702 --> 00:21:15,340
-[Book] Listen to this crowd.
-[Vic] Hats off, NXT Universe,

336
00:21:15,407 --> 00:21:20,746
standing ovation for the new

337
00:21:20,812 --> 00:21:23,982
Tag Team Champions.
I want to go back.

338
00:21:24,049 --> 00:21:27,586
I don't know how you find highlights,
because this was a highlight reel.

339
00:21:27,653 --> 00:21:30,355
First t was this doomsday device
from Ridge Holland.

340
00:21:30,422 --> 00:21:33,458
Flying through the air, did everything
he could to keep gold around his waist.

341
00:21:33,525 --> 00:21:34,893
Frazer was able to kick out again.

342
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,363
This is a man who has battled and
overcome the odds for the last six years.

343
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:39,931
Here, though, bam!

344
00:21:39,998 --> 00:21:44,069
That miscommunication, which in the past
has been the detriment of Axiom

345
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:49,741
and Frazer, and it allowed Ridge Holland
to change the game. And right here,

346
00:21:49,808 --> 00:21:54,346
that vicious, devastating
powerbomb backstab combo.

347
00:21:54,413 --> 00:21:58,283
But it was not enough
to keep down the heart of Axiom,

348
00:21:58,350 --> 00:22:02,354
who then would showcase his heart,
and Frazer would showcase

349
00:22:02,421 --> 00:22:07,392
that natural aerial ability
for that Phoenix splash,

350
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:13,165
off the Spanish Fly
to reclaim the Tag Team Titles.

351
00:22:13,231 --> 00:22:16,234
[upbeat music playing]

352
00:22:17,769 --> 00:22:23,141
[Vic] They were poised, they were primed,
and they were ready tonight

353
00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:25,377
to reclaim the gold.

354
00:22:25,444 --> 00:22:31,249
But hats off to Chase U,
who brought it here tonight in Denver,

355
00:22:32,584 --> 00:22:34,553
at No Mercy.

356
00:22:39,291 --> 00:22:42,294
-[man in the ring screaming]
-[crowd shouting]

357
00:22:43,161 --> 00:22:45,564
[Vic] What the hell, Ridge?

358
00:22:49,968 --> 00:22:52,571
[shouts from the crowd]

359
00:22:52,637 --> 00:22:54,940
[Vic] What are you doing?

360
00:22:56,108 --> 00:22:58,877
Get out the way, son of a bitch!

361
00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:07,085
[crowd] Oh!

362
00:23:07,152 --> 00:23:10,389
[Vic]
Look, we need to get some help out here.

363
00:23:10,455 --> 00:23:13,458
[shouts and chatter from the crowd]

364
00:23:26,304 --> 00:23:28,306
[Vic] Oh, my…

365
00:23:30,509 --> 00:23:34,913
Booker, I was wrong earlier.
You see the look in Ridge's eyes? Oh.

366
00:23:34,980 --> 00:23:37,983
[shouts from the crowd]

367
00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:06,244
[Vic] Oh!

368
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:16,154
[crowd booing]

369
00:24:41,012 --> 00:24:44,015
[woman shouting]

370
00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:48,220
[crowd] One more time, one more time!

371
00:24:55,627 --> 00:24:59,364
[man] Move fast, hustle, hustle! Let's go.

372
00:25:01,433 --> 00:25:03,502
[Vic] We're in the Mile High City,

373
00:25:03,568 --> 00:25:06,671
home of Monday Night Raw
tomorrow night, but tonight,

374
00:25:06,738 --> 00:25:09,674
Denver, Colorado, the home of No Mercy.

375
00:25:09,741 --> 00:25:14,079
And we just saw our first of five
championship matches tonight.

376
00:25:14,145 --> 00:25:15,380
[rock music playing]

377
00:25:15,447 --> 00:25:17,716
[Vic] Earlier today, Jaida Parker arrived

378
00:25:17,782 --> 00:25:22,053
for her first Women's Championship
opportunity here in the Ball Arena.

379
00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:24,789
And she's gonna have to face someone,
Booker, you know very well.

380
00:25:24,856 --> 00:25:29,427
The Prodigy, the champion,
the confident Roxanne Perez.

381
00:25:29,494 --> 00:25:33,765
NXT Women's Championship
on the line later tonight.

382
00:25:33,832 --> 00:25:37,102
We gotta go back
to what we just saw moments ago.

383
00:25:37,168 --> 00:25:40,138
We kicked off the night
with new Tag Team Champions,

384
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:42,874
but the headline is what happened
after the matchup.

385
00:25:42,941 --> 00:25:47,545
Ridge Holland showing no mercy to Chase U.

386
00:25:47,612 --> 00:25:50,916
First attacking Riley Osborne
and Duke Hudson,

387
00:25:50,982 --> 00:25:55,020
and then turning his attention
to Andre Chase

388
00:25:55,086 --> 00:26:01,860
right here with The Redeemer
on our announce table. The rage of Ridge

389
00:26:01,927 --> 00:26:08,033
unleashed tonight. And there you see the
aftermath, which happened moments ago.

390
00:26:08,099 --> 00:26:10,635
And we hope to have an update

391
00:26:10,702 --> 00:26:13,672
on Andre Chase later on tonight.

392
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:17,742
But we gotta move on with the evening,
because coming up next,

393
00:26:17,809 --> 00:26:21,947
there's gonna be a lot of rage
in this matchup. It's not about titles.

394
00:26:22,013 --> 00:26:25,517
It's about a bond broken.
Brothers, partners, no more.

395
00:26:25,583 --> 00:26:28,420
Wes Lee turned his back on Zachary Wentz,

396
00:26:28,486 --> 00:26:32,223
leading to a fight
we never thought we would see.

397
00:26:32,290 --> 00:26:35,026
[rock music playing]

398
00:26:35,694 --> 00:26:38,997
[Wes] Chasing this dream
put me down a very dark path.

399
00:26:39,064 --> 00:26:42,634
But when you align yourself
with the right people,

400
00:26:42,701 --> 00:26:45,003
you keep your mind right.

401
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:47,005
We will not be denied.

402
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:51,176
[Vic] Wes Lee, Zachary Wentz.
Together they are…

403
00:26:51,242 --> 00:26:53,645
[Wes and Zachary taking turns speaking]
M-S-K.

404
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:56,247
All night and all day, dude.

405
00:26:56,314 --> 00:27:00,151
All the hard work, dedication,
this is everything to us.

406
00:27:00,218 --> 00:27:06,825
[Wes] I went from being your
two-time NXT Tag Team Champion

407
00:27:06,891 --> 00:27:09,761
with my best friend and my brother,

408
00:27:10,595 --> 00:27:14,866
just to have our world explode
right from under our feet.

409
00:27:14,933 --> 00:27:17,135
[soft music playing]

410
00:27:17,202 --> 00:27:19,237
No! [screams]

411
00:27:19,304 --> 00:27:23,274
[Wes] While I am sifting through
the rubble, trying to find myself,

412
00:27:23,341 --> 00:27:28,713
all that I find is pain and anger.
I can never forget my past.

413
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:33,852
And I can only rely on myself and
make the ways that I'm destined to.

414
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:37,155
You know my story
with the North American Championship.

415
00:27:37,222 --> 00:27:42,293
[Vic] Wes Lee, the greatest
North American Champion ever.

416
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:44,596
[Wes] Literally broke my back
trying to defend him.

417
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:50,769
I'm unsure on when you will see me again.
It's gonna take surgery and time.

418
00:27:50,835 --> 00:27:56,841
Yes, it was hard, but I was focused
on one goal, to get back here.

419
00:27:56,908 --> 00:27:58,877
[Vic] Wes Lee's back!

420
00:27:58,943 --> 00:28:02,480
[Wes] I've talked about this title so much
that it's become an obsession.

421
00:28:02,547 --> 00:28:05,583
That was the thing that truly
pushed me through rehab.

422
00:28:05,650 --> 00:28:11,289
I imagined the title in my hands again,
and I was ready to proudly raise it above

423
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:14,459
my head as the king of the west side.

424
00:28:14,926 --> 00:28:18,029
But unfortunately,
that's not how it happened.

425
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:23,702
-I have had one hell of a run here in NXT.
-No, no, no!

426
00:28:23,768 --> 00:28:26,871
I think it's time for me
to start stepping away.

427
00:28:26,938 --> 00:28:32,811
[Vic] No way! Booker, it's Wes Lee's
best friends and former partners.

428
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:35,880
Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz are here.

429
00:28:35,947 --> 00:28:38,950
We don't want to see Wes Lee go.

430
00:28:39,484 --> 00:28:42,454
We have missed you so much.

431
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,256
I think it's time
we get MSK back together.

432
00:28:45,323 --> 00:28:47,192
[crowd cheering]

433
00:28:47,258 --> 00:28:51,029
[Wes] I believed that I was going
to be winning the Tag Team Titles

434
00:28:51,096 --> 00:28:52,664
with my best friend.

435
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:56,301
[shouts from the crowd]

436
00:28:57,669 --> 00:28:59,571
[bell ringing]

437
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:02,040
[Wes] But…

438
00:29:03,041 --> 00:29:05,009
That's your brother, what are you doing?

439
00:29:05,076 --> 00:29:08,279
[Wes] Zach let me down again.

440
00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:11,449
You left me alone!

441
00:29:11,516 --> 00:29:16,621
I am tired of taking care of you, Zach.

442
00:29:16,688 --> 00:29:22,527
You and I are just not on the same level.

443
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:29,467
[Vic] A match we never thought
would ever happen. Lee, Wentz at No Mercy.

444
00:29:30,001 --> 00:29:33,104
[Wes] I want you to dent everything.

445
00:29:33,171 --> 00:29:35,507
Forget the friendship that we have had.

446
00:29:35,573 --> 00:29:37,675
Forget everything that we have done.

447
00:29:37,742 --> 00:29:44,249
At No Mercy I am going to show you why
I'm the WWE superstar and you are nothing

448
00:29:44,315 --> 00:29:48,286
-but a TNA wrestler.
-Bro had no mercy.

449
00:29:48,353 --> 00:29:52,690
This TNA wrestler is going to beat the ass

450
00:29:52,757 --> 00:29:57,128
of this WWE superstar, Wes Lee.

451
00:29:58,530 --> 00:30:01,065
[music fading out]

452
00:30:02,167 --> 00:30:05,170
-[crowd cheering]
-[hip hop music playing]

453
00:30:14,112 --> 00:30:15,246
[bell ringing]

454
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:18,983
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

455
00:30:19,050 --> 00:30:26,057
Introducing first,
he is the TNA X Division Champion,

456
00:30:26,824 --> 00:30:30,028
Zachary Wentz.

457
00:30:30,094 --> 00:30:33,698
[Vic] Book, just heard from the ring
announcer, Alicia Taylor, there is the TNA

458
00:30:33,765 --> 00:30:36,734
Exhibition Champion, Zachary Wentz,
who won that title the other night.

459
00:30:36,801 --> 00:30:41,339
He's looking to cap off
a big, big weekend.

460
00:30:41,406 --> 00:30:46,778
But this is not about titles.
This is not about, as you would say,

461
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:48,947
what's your favorite quote
when it comes to championships?

462
00:30:49,013 --> 00:30:51,082
[Book] …championships, all that.

463
00:30:51,149 --> 00:30:56,588
No, no. It's about two brothers
going in here and settling a score.

464
00:30:56,654 --> 00:30:58,456
This is personal, Vic.

465
00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:04,128
[Vic] Been a lot of ups and a lot of downs
for Zachary Wentz, is he 100 %

466
00:31:04,195 --> 00:31:07,198
mentally and physically ready for tonight?

467
00:31:07,265 --> 00:31:11,002
Because take a look at what Zachary Wentz
is wearing. Take a close look.

468
00:31:11,069 --> 00:31:12,103
Those are pictures.

469
00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:15,406
There's photos of him
and his opponent tonight, his brother,

470
00:31:15,473 --> 00:31:17,508
his former partner, Wes Lee.

471
00:31:17,575 --> 00:31:20,578
[dance music playing]

472
00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:32,824
[announcer] And his opponent, Wes Lee.

473
00:31:32,890 --> 00:31:34,792
[crowd cheering]

474
00:31:34,859 --> 00:31:38,596
[Vic] No one thought, I certainly didn't,

475
00:31:38,663 --> 00:31:44,402
that Wes was capable of doing
and saying the things he has recently.

476
00:31:44,936 --> 00:31:47,739
[Book] Vic, like I said a second ago,
this is personal, man.

477
00:31:47,805 --> 00:31:52,844
What I see is all the hurt,
all the pain coming out of this young man,

478
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:58,816
Wes Lee, for being left behind,
being left for dead, being that role

479
00:31:58,883 --> 00:32:02,920
that came up out of the concrete
and became North American Champion.

480
00:32:02,987 --> 00:32:06,357
The greatest North American Champion
in the history of NXT.

481
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:08,326
He did it all by himself, Vic.

482
00:32:08,393 --> 00:32:12,263
He didn't have any cheerleaders
pushing him to the next level.

483
00:32:12,330 --> 00:32:14,866
He didn't have any rascals or any friends.

484
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:18,169
[Vic]
One coming into this matchup confident,

485
00:32:18,236 --> 00:32:21,706
the other one
coming into this match emotional.

486
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:25,276
This is a fight that Zach never wanted.

487
00:32:25,343 --> 00:32:29,247
This is because Wes Lee
turned his back on his brothers.

488
00:32:29,314 --> 00:32:31,282
That is what has brought us here today.

489
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:34,152
These are two guys
that teamed for the first time, Booker,

490
00:32:34,218 --> 00:32:39,223
at Rockstar Pro December 12th, 2015.

491
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:42,894
And they know each other so well.
You've been a part of a lot of rivalries

492
00:32:42,961 --> 00:32:45,530
against The Rock, John Cena, The Steiners.

493
00:32:45,596 --> 00:32:49,233
When you know someone so well,
what must you do to win?

494
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:53,104
[Book] No, no, no. It's different
between me and the Rock, guys like that.

495
00:32:53,171 --> 00:32:56,941
These guys been riding together, Vic.
They've been boys for a long time.

496
00:32:57,008 --> 00:33:01,079
That means, like I said, this is going to
be not just a fight, this might be a war.

497
00:33:01,145 --> 00:33:03,548
[Vic] They traveled the road together.
You're 100 % right.

498
00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:07,919
They trained together. I mean,
no one could have predicted this outcome.

499
00:33:07,985 --> 00:33:09,687
The first cover of the matchup,
quick kickout.

500
00:33:09,754 --> 00:33:12,724
And right back in now goes Wentz.
Kickout by Wes Lee again.

501
00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:16,427
Still trending number one, because
the action started out fast and furious.

502
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:20,565
It's continuing with this matchup right
here, right now. Nice takedown by Lee.

503
00:33:20,631 --> 00:33:23,868
Double stomp. Doesn't connect. Wentz
back to his feet. Nice block for a moment.

504
00:33:23,935 --> 00:33:26,204
And again, here's how well
these two know each other.

505
00:33:26,270 --> 00:33:29,874
They know what they're going to do,
rights, lefts, jump, sprint, walk.

506
00:33:29,941 --> 00:33:35,146
[Book] It's a chance match right now.
Who's going to score the first shot?

507
00:33:35,213 --> 00:33:39,617
[Vic] I bring it back to these two as they
just stare holes through the other.

508
00:33:39,684 --> 00:33:44,055
You and Stevie Ray had to have arguments
during your guys Hall of Fame run.

509
00:33:44,155 --> 00:33:47,658
-I mean, it happens.
-[Book] No, no, no. It happens, Vic.

510
00:33:47,725 --> 00:33:51,996
It happens. But, you know, you learn
to get through it. Sometimes you don't.

511
00:33:52,063 --> 00:33:55,400
Me and my brother,
we're still at odds about certain things.

512
00:33:55,466 --> 00:33:57,869
I tell you right now,
tonight, we're going to find out

513
00:33:57,935 --> 00:34:01,272
a whole lot about both of these young men,
how far they're willing to go.

514
00:34:01,339 --> 00:34:03,474
-That's what it's all about.
-[Vic] I'll ask you this, too.

515
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:06,611
Could these two have handled things
a little bit differently, or was it just

516
00:34:06,677 --> 00:34:08,513
-inevitable?
-[Book] I think we're past that.

517
00:34:08,579 --> 00:34:11,816
I think that's in the rearview mirror
of both of these young men's career

518
00:34:11,883 --> 00:34:12,884
at this point.

519
00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:15,720
[Vic] Wentz right now
looking for that big shot, and he got it.

520
00:34:15,787 --> 00:34:18,990
Nice high impact offense
from the middle turnbuckle into a cover.

521
00:34:19,056 --> 00:34:23,261
And Wes Lee, I mean,
kicked out, but barely.

522
00:34:23,327 --> 00:34:26,330
There was not a lot…
Look at Wes Lee bailing to the outside.

523
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:29,801
He might have the wind
knocked out of him right there.

524
00:34:29,867 --> 00:34:34,105
[Book] 5,200 feet above sea level.
Figure these guys better be ready.

525
00:34:34,172 --> 00:34:37,642
You can tell right now
they're gassing just a little bit.

526
00:34:37,708 --> 00:34:41,179
[Vic] They came out fast, right out of the
gate. The animosity between these two.

527
00:34:41,245 --> 00:34:44,215
Fever pitch, and they going low.
Taking out the legs.

528
00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:47,151
-And now right into that steel post.
-[Book] I'm talking about Wes Lee

529
00:34:47,218 --> 00:34:49,454
set him up right there.
This is a different Wes Lee.

530
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,190
Wes Lee normally would go to that, that,

531
00:34:52,256 --> 00:34:56,727
that playbook right there, but tonight,
it's about any means necessary, Vic.

532
00:34:56,794 --> 00:35:01,966
[Vic] You know, this is just that vicious,
vindictive side of Wes Lee.

533
00:35:02,033 --> 00:35:05,670
You hit it right on the head, Book.
Just take a look in the eyes of Wes Lee.

534
00:35:05,736 --> 00:35:10,608
The smile's gone from the face.
He's here to prove a point, as he said.

535
00:35:10,675 --> 00:35:15,513
-Oh, finally dropped the dead weight.
-[Book] No, no. And I get it. I get it.

536
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:19,851
But, but, but like I said earlier, Vic,
how far is Wes Lee willing to go?

537
00:35:19,917 --> 00:35:22,186
That's going to be the question
at the end of the day.

538
00:35:22,253 --> 00:35:24,021
[Vic] I'll come back and say
how far Zachary Wentz

539
00:35:24,122 --> 00:35:25,590
willing to go for this matchup?

540
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:29,360
He didn't want this to happen,
but he just got dropped, spine first,

541
00:35:29,427 --> 00:35:30,962
where steel meets wood.

542
00:35:31,028 --> 00:35:33,297
[Book] Talked about where his head is…

543
00:35:33,364 --> 00:35:35,433
[Vic] Cover by Wes Lee,
into the cover to kickout.

544
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:39,537
[Book] No way Wes could be 100 % focused,
because these guys were friends, man.

545
00:35:39,604 --> 00:35:41,839
[Vic]
They were. And some of the NXT Universe

546
00:35:41,906 --> 00:35:46,811
have said in certain ways that Wes Lee
has been selfish for his actions.

547
00:35:46,878 --> 00:35:48,646
I come to you and go,

548
00:35:48,713 --> 00:35:52,083
do you agree after seeing the physicality
of this matchup?

549
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:55,486
[Book] No, I don't. I mean,
you walk a mile in Wes Lee's shoes.

550
00:35:55,553 --> 00:36:00,091
Like I said, Wes Lee said he broke
his back for this company. Come on, Vic.

551
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:03,261
[Vic] Look, Wentz has admitted
to his past mistake. Some wrote him off.

552
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:05,596
He didn't write back.
He stayed in Wes Lee's corner.

553
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:08,699
He gave encouragement.
He was there when Wes Lee doubted himself.

554
00:36:08,766 --> 00:36:12,103
You talk about breaking his back.
Who was there for those late phone calls?

555
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:15,740
Who was there to say you still got this
and to say you're still one of the best?

556
00:36:15,806 --> 00:36:18,643
It was Zachary Wentz,
and Wes Lee forgot about that somewhere,

557
00:36:18,709 --> 00:36:22,580
as he continues the offensive onslaught.

558
00:36:23,247 --> 00:36:27,351
[Book] He's a pity party, I think.
I think Wes Lee's just trying to give…

559
00:36:27,418 --> 00:36:29,620
-[Vic] What more could Wes want then?
-[Book] Come on, Vic.

560
00:36:29,687 --> 00:36:31,055
[Vic] What more could he want?

561
00:36:31,155 --> 00:36:33,991
[Book] You don't need anybody trying
to pump you up from that perspective.

562
00:36:34,058 --> 00:36:35,560
You need a real friend in your corner.

563
00:36:35,626 --> 00:36:39,764
These guys came back because they saw Wes
Lee at the top of this game here in NXT,

564
00:36:39,830 --> 00:36:42,667
and they wanted a piece of the action.
They wanted some champagne wishes.

565
00:36:42,733 --> 00:36:45,703
They wanted some caviar dream.
That's what… Come on, Vic.

566
00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:49,907
[Vic] I just saw that drop kick right
to the shoulder blade into another cover,

567
00:36:49,974 --> 00:36:54,912
and Zachary Wentz able to kick out again.
But you see the game plan for Wes Lee.

568
00:36:54,979 --> 00:37:01,185
He is systematically dissecting
Zachary Wentz from top to bottom.

569
00:37:01,252 --> 00:37:03,321
And bottom to top.

570
00:37:03,387 --> 00:37:07,358
[Book] Everything right now is just,
taking his time, you know, picking

571
00:37:07,425 --> 00:37:13,764
his spots, taking Wentz apart piece
by piece right now. Making him pay, Vic.

572
00:37:13,831 --> 00:37:17,635
[Vic] Pay for what? Wes Lee can't
go back in time. He can't do it.

573
00:37:18,135 --> 00:37:20,838
All he's done
is change the address to his problems.

574
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:24,408
He's blaming Wentz, but has he ever
looked at it from a different viewpoint?

575
00:37:24,475 --> 00:37:25,643
Things happen for a reason.

576
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:29,513
Maybe he wouldn't have became one of the
greatest champions in the brand's history,

577
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:31,582
-achieved dreams and had success…
-[Book] Wait a minute.

578
00:37:31,649 --> 00:37:36,220
Are you giving Wentz the credit
for Wes Lee? Come on, Vic.

579
00:37:36,287 --> 00:37:38,923
[Vic] They don't need
to break a bond like they had,

580
00:37:38,990 --> 00:37:41,792
to be selfish, to bring it to this.

581
00:37:41,859 --> 00:37:44,495
This is sad.
Zachary Wentz was heartbroken.

582
00:37:44,562 --> 00:37:46,497
You can see what he said on social media.

583
00:37:46,564 --> 00:37:48,699
[Book] Look, I can't disagree with you
on that, okay?

584
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:52,403
For the first time, I can't disagree
with you on that. Okay, Vic.

585
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:56,707
[Vic] As this match continuing
to break down, this very evenly match…

586
00:37:56,774 --> 00:37:59,710
Turn it around!
Big jumping knee right to the temple.

587
00:37:59,777 --> 00:38:01,445
[Book] Big shot right there.

588
00:38:01,512 --> 00:38:05,082
Wentz, he's getting
a little adrenaline rush right now.

589
00:38:05,149 --> 00:38:06,484
He's going to need it.

590
00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:09,587
[Vic] He might also be trying to shake
some blood back into his shoulders.

591
00:38:09,654 --> 00:38:13,190
I mean, go right back here
and then bam! Could that be

592
00:38:13,257 --> 00:38:17,261
the moment, Booker, that turns
this match around for Zachary Wentz?

593
00:38:17,328 --> 00:38:23,034
As Wentz now trying to build some momentum
here in Denver, Colorado, NXT No Mercy.

594
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,770
Two former partners, two former brothers.

595
00:38:25,836 --> 00:38:29,807
The bond broken, as he got caught,
and right down to the mat.

596
00:38:29,874 --> 00:38:31,042
[Book] Wow, what was that?

597
00:38:31,108 --> 00:38:33,377
[Vic] That was high impact offense
followed up

598
00:38:33,444 --> 00:38:37,648
with a snap German suplex. Wes Lee
right now discombobulated on rubber legs.

599
00:38:37,715 --> 00:38:41,218
Wentz looking in. Target acquired.
Big jumping knee under the jaw.

600
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:43,921
[Book] This kid Wentz is showing me
a little something right now.

601
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:49,760
His in-ring prowess is stepping up
to the next level. You got to love it.

602
00:38:49,827 --> 00:38:55,499
[Vic] That would have been good from 60
if he was kicking for the Broncos.

603
00:38:55,566 --> 00:38:58,069
You said Wentz was feeling it.

604
00:38:58,135 --> 00:39:04,475
Right back in and again taken out Wes Lee,
and Wentz is really harnessing

605
00:39:04,542 --> 00:39:07,078
those emotions that we talked about,
that anger.

606
00:39:07,144 --> 00:39:10,014
[Book] I talked about it earlier.
As far as staying focused, this kid

607
00:39:10,081 --> 00:39:13,017
seems to be focused
and tuned in and going out

608
00:39:13,084 --> 00:39:16,087
and get perhaps the biggest win
of his career over Wes Lee,

609
00:39:16,153 --> 00:39:20,157
the greatest North American Champion
in NXT's history.

610
00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:25,463
[Vic] Blocking out the pain right now
is Zachary Wentz.

611
00:39:26,130 --> 00:39:28,899
[Book] Caution to the wind as well.

612
00:39:31,335 --> 00:39:35,639
[Vic] The energy of the NXT Universe
here in Denver has been off the charts,

613
00:39:35,706 --> 00:39:42,179
as up and down goes Wentz into the cover,
hook of the leg and Lee's left shoulder

614
00:39:42,246 --> 00:39:44,014
off the mat just in time again.

615
00:39:44,081 --> 00:39:48,953
These two guys,
who know each other so very well,

616
00:39:49,019 --> 00:39:55,259
pulling out all the stops here tonight
to earn a victory here at No Mercy.

617
00:39:55,326 --> 00:39:59,063
[Book] You know, you said earlier you
can't go back in time and that's right.

618
00:39:59,130 --> 00:40:02,433
You gotta learn
when it's time to just move on.

619
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,168
I think that's Wentz's problem.

620
00:40:04,235 --> 00:40:08,072
[Vic] I think it's Wes Lee's problem,
he couldn't move on from the past.

621
00:40:08,139 --> 00:40:10,207
Looking for that half and half.
Countered one more time.

622
00:40:10,274 --> 00:40:13,177
Lee with a nice standing switch.
Rolling through, shoulders down.

623
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:16,514
Great position.
Near fall in this matchup. Oh!

624
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:21,285
Meteor rolled right through
into the Boston crab in Denver!

625
00:40:21,352 --> 00:40:24,221
Remember the surgically repaired back
of Wes Lee.

626
00:40:24,288 --> 00:40:29,627
[Book] There's a bad, bad spot right here
for Wes Lee. Oh, my God!

627
00:40:29,693 --> 00:40:34,231
[Vic] He's going to make Wes Lee
crawl a mile to get to that bottom rope.

628
00:40:34,298 --> 00:40:38,002
[Book] Going to have to sit back a little
bit more if you want to let it set in.

629
00:40:38,068 --> 00:40:41,906
A little bit more
on Wes Lee's lower lumbar. Nope.

630
00:40:42,306 --> 00:40:46,410
[Vic] Wes had just enough
to twist and turn his way out.

631
00:40:46,477 --> 00:40:49,747
Little mule kick right under the jaw.
Backing up Wentz for a moment.

632
00:40:50,848 --> 00:40:52,316
Big super kick by Wentz.

633
00:40:52,383 --> 00:40:55,619
I don't know how Wes Lee is standing.
There's one thing for sure.

634
00:40:55,686 --> 00:41:00,357
The Rascalz riding no more
here tonight at No Mercy.

635
00:41:04,328 --> 00:41:08,799
[Book] Wes Lee is in trouble. Oh, wow!

636
00:41:09,433 --> 00:41:14,738
[Vic] Being able to answer right back,
there is what we've seen from Wes Lee.

637
00:41:14,805 --> 00:41:17,775
[Book]
Oh, my God, man. Talking about a sleeper.

638
00:41:17,842 --> 00:41:20,744
-Talking about a sleeper. That's it.
-[Vic] Into the cover,

639
00:41:20,811 --> 00:41:24,181
and Wentz able to kickout.

640
00:41:24,815 --> 00:41:28,452
And there's going to be a little extra
in this matchup, you know that.

641
00:41:28,519 --> 00:41:34,959
-[Book] Oh! Oh, no.
-[Vic] That cardiac kick from the…

642
00:41:35,726 --> 00:41:37,261
That was only two.

643
00:41:38,128 --> 00:41:40,030
Chip Danning said that was only two.

644
00:41:40,097 --> 00:41:44,468
-[Book] That had to be a slow count, Vic.
-[Vic] Wentz got hit so hard,

645
00:41:44,535 --> 00:41:47,304
he might think his name is Carter
when he wakes up.

646
00:41:47,371 --> 00:41:53,377
Take a look at this offense from Wes Lee.
Look at the rotation. Sticks the landing.

647
00:41:53,444 --> 00:41:55,613
Couldn't get the job done.

648
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:58,716
[crowd] Wes Lee sucks!

649
00:42:00,417 --> 00:42:05,723
[Vic] NXT Universe is letting Wes Lee know
how they feel about him here tonight.

650
00:42:05,789 --> 00:42:10,194
[Book] King of the west side getting ready
to take it to the street right now.

651
00:42:10,261 --> 00:42:13,898
That's what I'm talking about.
It's about to turn into a fight.

652
00:42:13,964 --> 00:42:18,669
I'm loving it.
Put hands on that boy. Oh, yes.

653
00:42:19,336 --> 00:42:25,542
[Vic] Booker, this has been a fight
since these both these men arrived

654
00:42:25,609 --> 00:42:29,313
at the airport. They knew what
they were getting themselves into.

655
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:32,149
Lee missing wildly with the boot.
Coming right back in!

656
00:42:32,216 --> 00:42:36,287
Oh, what the hell was that?
Look like a blockbuster DDT followed up

657
00:42:36,353 --> 00:42:42,993
with a meteora, and the momentum
carrying Wes all the way to the outside.

658
00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:45,396
[crowd cheering]

659
00:42:45,462 --> 00:42:47,464
[Book] Wow.

660
00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:54,972
[Vic] You talked about high impact offense
here at No Mercy.

661
00:42:56,507 --> 00:42:59,510
[crowd] This is awesome, this is awesome!

662
00:43:06,784 --> 00:43:12,690
[Vic] Yeah, you said you wanted a fight,
Booker. Then you just take a look

663
00:43:12,756 --> 00:43:16,293
in the eyes of Wes.

664
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,129
[shouts from the crowd]

665
00:43:22,433 --> 00:43:25,603
[Vic] And Wentz trying to fight back.

666
00:43:26,236 --> 00:43:28,772
[grunts]

667
00:43:28,839 --> 00:43:30,841
[Vic] Oh!

668
00:43:34,144 --> 00:43:38,649
Referee being lenient right now, Book.
This ref wants to see a victory.

669
00:43:38,716 --> 00:43:42,052
-But you're right.
-[Book] A different Wes Lee now, Vic.

670
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:46,123
Look at the eyes.
Look at the eyes, Vic. Oh, yeah.

671
00:43:46,190 --> 00:43:50,060
[Vic] Oh, no. It was there.
Wentz just got out of the way.

672
00:43:53,097 --> 00:43:56,567
And in a match like this,
it is so personal.

673
00:43:56,634 --> 00:44:01,038
The referee using discretion,
because he knows what's at stake.

674
00:44:01,105 --> 00:44:04,808
He knows the animosity
between these two.

675
00:44:09,513 --> 00:44:13,150
Look at Wentz trying to break the count.
I believe he did so.

676
00:44:13,217 --> 00:44:16,453
And Wes Lee having none of that. Oh!

677
00:44:17,521 --> 00:44:20,791
[Book] Oh, man! Wow!

678
00:44:20,858 --> 00:44:23,861
[shouts from the crowd]

679
00:44:28,265 --> 00:44:30,467
[Vic] And Wentz…

680
00:44:32,636 --> 00:44:36,573
just laid out. And Wes going to do this?
No way.

681
00:44:37,775 --> 00:44:41,278
-[Book] Oh, my God!
-[Vic] Oh, my God!

682
00:44:41,979 --> 00:44:44,982
[Wes screaming]

683
00:44:46,784 --> 00:44:51,488
[Vic] From the top,
Wes throwing caution to the wind.

684
00:44:51,555 --> 00:44:57,828
Because Wes Lee is willing to destroy
himself, to destroy Zachary Wentz.

685
00:44:57,895 --> 00:45:03,100
[Book] This is personal, Vic.
I told you. I told you, Vic.

686
00:45:06,170 --> 00:45:07,237
[Vic] And again.

687
00:45:07,304 --> 00:45:10,874
[referee]
Wes, knock it off. Come on, let's go.

688
00:45:12,376 --> 00:45:15,612
[Vic] I did say the referees
use discretion, right, Book?

689
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:19,683
But when is the official
going to step in to maybe…

690
00:45:20,718 --> 00:45:24,154
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wes!

691
00:45:24,221 --> 00:45:26,490
[Book] How far is he willing to go?

692
00:45:26,590 --> 00:45:30,627
I said it earlier, Vic.
How far is this young man willing to go?

693
00:45:30,694 --> 00:45:34,264
-[Vic] You did.
-[Book] He's got to finish. He got caught.

694
00:45:35,299 --> 00:45:37,601
[Vic] That's Trey Miguel.

695
00:45:39,136 --> 00:45:40,704
-No way.
-I can kill him.

696
00:45:40,771 --> 00:45:42,072
Yeah. Yeah, right.

697
00:45:42,139 --> 00:45:44,241
[Vic] The other equation from The Rascalz

698
00:45:44,308 --> 00:45:47,511
opened the door for a Denver destroyer.

699
00:45:48,011 --> 00:45:51,682
Canadian destroyer. I don't care
what the hell you want to call it.

700
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:53,951
Wentz is feeling it.

701
00:45:54,017 --> 00:45:57,621
The adrenaline pumping through his veins.

702
00:45:58,322 --> 00:46:04,962
Wentz now looking for that UFO cutter!
Got all of it.

703
00:46:05,028 --> 00:46:07,197
-[crowd] One, two, three!
-[Book] Wow!

704
00:46:07,264 --> 00:46:11,635
-[Vic] Wentz shows no mercy tonight.
-[bell ringing]

705
00:46:11,702 --> 00:46:13,971
[announcer] Here is your winner,

706
00:46:14,037 --> 00:46:19,243
the TNA Cast Division Champion,

707
00:46:19,309 --> 00:46:23,614
Zachary Wentz.

708
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,817
-[crowd cheering]
-[hip hop music playing]

709
00:46:29,286 --> 00:46:32,055
[Vic] Book, again, this was a fight

710
00:46:32,122 --> 00:46:37,694
Zachary Wentz never wanted to happen. You
talked about throwing caution to the wind.

711
00:46:37,761 --> 00:46:40,230
You can throw whatever narrative
you wanted to do.

712
00:46:40,297 --> 00:46:46,036
Wes Lee was out to do one thing tonight.
Destroy his former partner and friend.

713
00:46:46,103 --> 00:46:48,372
Right here, was looking
for the homerun shot.

714
00:46:48,438 --> 00:46:52,609
But instead it was Trey Miguel,
the third member of The Rascalz,

715
00:46:52,676 --> 00:46:54,845
who made his presence known. Bam!

716
00:46:54,912 --> 00:47:00,284
Opened the door for Zachary Wentz
to turn this matchup inside out.

717
00:47:00,350 --> 00:47:04,588
Turn it up and around.
Hit that patented UFO cutter.

718
00:47:04,655 --> 00:47:08,358
And for Zachary Wentz, an emotional,

719
00:47:08,425 --> 00:47:12,763
perhaps the most emotional victory
of his career.

720
00:47:15,699 --> 00:47:19,403
How good it must feel

721
00:47:19,469 --> 00:47:23,874
for Zachary Wentz
with Trey Miguel by his side.

722
00:47:23,941 --> 00:47:29,880
I'm sure these two are gonna know
how to celebrate in the Mile High City.

723
00:47:29,947 --> 00:47:32,049
[hip hop music playing]

724
00:47:35,219 --> 00:47:38,222
I'm so proud of you.

725
00:47:42,492 --> 00:47:44,728
Wow. Take it.

726
00:47:45,529 --> 00:47:49,333
An absolute banger
for the Tag Team Championship, bro.

727
00:47:49,399 --> 00:47:51,868
-But the drop.
-Chase U.

728
00:47:51,935 --> 00:47:54,571
-Yeah.
-Ridge annihilated Duke, bro.

729
00:47:54,638 --> 00:47:55,639
Yeah, dude.

730
00:47:55,706 --> 00:48:00,510
-Did you see Chase leave on a stretch?
-Dude, I feel bad. Bad.

731
00:48:00,577 --> 00:48:02,246
Oh, my gosh. That's tough.

732
00:48:02,312 --> 00:48:04,948
But Nathan Axiom got the job done.
You gotta give him credit.

733
00:48:05,015 --> 00:48:09,086
Did you see Nathan in there?
It's nauseating. He never slows down.

734
00:48:09,152 --> 00:48:11,755
Bang, bang, bang. All over the place.

735
00:48:11,822 --> 00:48:18,161
But new NXT Tag Team Champions
need new number one contenders, Hanky.

736
00:48:18,228 --> 00:48:19,263
Not a bad idea.

737
00:48:19,329 --> 00:48:22,766
And I know the boys are probably used to
driving on the other side of the road,

738
00:48:22,833 --> 00:48:25,836
but I'm pretty sure they always know
what a honk, honk means.

739
00:48:25,903 --> 00:48:30,307
I think they do. And if they don't,
they're about to find out.

740
00:48:32,075 --> 00:48:34,077
[Trick] Yo, Joe.

741
00:48:34,144 --> 00:48:36,079
[crowd cheering]

742
00:48:36,146 --> 00:48:40,751
As you know, I am the special guest
referee for tonight's title match.

743
00:48:40,817 --> 00:48:42,219
But just so you know,

744
00:48:42,286 --> 00:48:45,355
I'm gonna call it like a T-I-E is
right down the middle.

745
00:48:45,422 --> 00:48:49,259
Of course. I wouldn't expect anything
less. And Trick, I stand by what I said.

746
00:48:49,326 --> 00:48:53,563
When I win tonight, you will be first
in line for a shot at the NXT Title.

747
00:48:53,630 --> 00:48:56,266
That's what I'm talking about.
Look, I believe you.

748
00:48:56,333 --> 00:48:59,036
-I believe in Joe Hendry.
-Thank you.

749
00:48:59,102 --> 00:49:00,871
Yeah, do your thing.

750
00:49:00,937 --> 00:49:07,177
[Vic] Book, we got a massive championship
main event still to come at No Mercy.

751
00:49:07,244 --> 00:49:08,979
[alarm sounding]

752
00:49:09,046 --> 00:49:12,049
[soft music playing]

753
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:17,354
[bell ringing]

754
00:49:17,421 --> 00:49:19,823
[announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

755
00:49:19,890 --> 00:49:26,897
is for the NXT Women's
North American Championship.

756
00:49:27,531 --> 00:49:34,304
Introducing first up challenger,
Wendy Choo.

757
00:49:34,371 --> 00:49:38,208
[Vic] I hate to even throw this out
into the universe.

758
00:49:38,275 --> 00:49:40,711
Is the challenger the favorite
in this matchup?

759
00:49:40,777 --> 00:49:45,282
I mean, really think about the last month
or so of what we've seen from Wendy Choo.

760
00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:48,018
Should she be the favorite
at this championship?

761
00:49:48,085 --> 00:49:50,620
[Book]
I can only say this. I can only say this.

762
00:49:50,687 --> 00:49:53,223
It's one thing getting to the top,

763
00:49:53,290 --> 00:49:57,627
but it's something totally different
staying at the top.

764
00:49:57,694 --> 00:50:01,498
We're gonna find out a whole lot
about Kelani Jordan tonight.

765
00:50:01,565 --> 00:50:08,572
I always said she's special, but tonight
she's in here with The Sleepy Psycho.

766
00:50:08,739 --> 00:50:10,941
-Oh, yes, man!
-[Vic] That was good.

767
00:50:11,008 --> 00:50:12,876
I'm actually upset
that I didn't think about that.

768
00:50:12,943 --> 00:50:15,379
I didn't come up with that one.
Good job, Book.

769
00:50:15,445 --> 00:50:17,447
[Book] Thank you.

770
00:50:17,514 --> 00:50:20,517
[dance music playing]

771
00:50:30,427 --> 00:50:32,095
[announcer] And her opponent,

772
00:50:32,162 --> 00:50:39,169
she is the NXT Women's
North American Champion,

773
00:50:39,569 --> 00:50:44,141
Kelani Jordan.

774
00:50:44,207 --> 00:50:48,011
[Vic] you brought up, though, moments ago
about Kelani Jordan learning a lot.

775
00:50:48,078 --> 00:50:50,781
What do you really think
when it comes to the champion?

776
00:50:50,847 --> 00:50:55,752
When you break it down, what we are about
to learn from the standout.

777
00:50:55,819 --> 00:50:59,256
[Book] I think we're gonna learn
if she's been studying up.

778
00:50:59,322 --> 00:51:02,726
I always talk about that playbook,
always say stand ready,

779
00:51:02,793 --> 00:51:04,628
so you don't have to get ready.

780
00:51:04,694 --> 00:51:08,398
Preparing, preparation is the only luck
you ever going to have.

781
00:51:08,465 --> 00:51:12,903
But how you prepare for Wendy Choo?
You gotta wake up at three o'clock

782
00:51:12,969 --> 00:51:15,439
in the morning having nightmares, man.

783
00:51:15,505 --> 00:51:17,774
[Vic] I'm glad you bring that up,

784
00:51:17,841 --> 00:51:20,343
because how different of a test
is this for Kelani,

785
00:51:20,410 --> 00:51:23,647
going up against someone…
What did you call Wendy Choo?

786
00:51:23,713 --> 00:51:25,549
[Book] The Sleepy Psycho.

787
00:51:25,615 --> 00:51:29,219
[Vic] You even got to agree with me again,
this is a different sort of individual,

788
00:51:29,286 --> 00:51:30,987
Kelani Jordan's in the ring.

789
00:51:31,054 --> 00:51:35,459
[Book] Wendy Choo has flipped the script.
I mean, she used to come to the ring

790
00:51:35,525 --> 00:51:37,828
-all bubbly, and now…
-[Vic] That's true.

791
00:51:37,894 --> 00:51:41,164
…we got this very, very bizarre.

792
00:51:41,231 --> 00:51:44,301
[Vic] Documented that Jordan
and NIL athlete Big Ten stand out

793
00:51:44,367 --> 00:51:46,736
-from Michigan State.
-[Book] That's not gonna help.

794
00:51:46,803 --> 00:51:51,541
[Vic] This isn't the Big Ten. She's never
faced anyone like Choo at Michigan State.

795
00:51:51,608 --> 00:51:54,711
But I go back to beginning of the night,
Tag Team trials run the line,

796
00:51:54,778 --> 00:51:58,982
what we just saw from Wes Lee
and all the roster here at NXT,

797
00:51:59,049 --> 00:52:03,220
how much pressure if any devarian degrees
are on the competitors here tonight?

798
00:52:03,286 --> 00:52:06,223
We talk about the CW move
in a few weeks, Halloween Havoc,

799
00:52:06,289 --> 00:52:09,459
the next premium live event we have
on Sunday October 27th.

800
00:52:09,526 --> 00:52:12,796
The pressure is at an all time high
here in NXT, and a kickout.

801
00:52:12,863 --> 00:52:17,567
[Book] And pressure was on from day one
here for these young guys here in NXT.

802
00:52:17,634 --> 00:52:21,805
And the thing is, it's about
performing under the bright lights.

803
00:52:21,872 --> 00:52:24,040
It's about shining
under those bright lights.

804
00:52:24,107 --> 00:52:28,011
And let me tell you, Kelani Jordan,
she's been there. She's been there.

805
00:52:28,078 --> 00:52:31,147
[Vic] Jordan is looking to add
to her own legacy here as champion.

806
00:52:31,214 --> 00:52:34,451
But Wendy Choo of course,
really bringing nightmares

807
00:52:34,518 --> 00:52:37,154
to life as still trending number one,

808
00:52:37,220 --> 00:52:40,790
into the cover, and we almost had a new
champion as Wendy Choo now applying

809
00:52:40,857 --> 00:52:44,661
the offensive pressure, and really,
Choo has come up with some wicked plans

810
00:52:44,728 --> 00:52:47,597
over the last several weeks
when it comes to the women's locker room

811
00:52:47,664 --> 00:52:49,466
and the Women's North American Champion.

812
00:52:49,533 --> 00:52:52,936
[Vic] Everybody's on notice right now
as far as Wendy Choo goes,

813
00:52:53,003 --> 00:52:55,572
because before, like I say,
it was a lot different.

814
00:52:55,639 --> 00:52:58,742
Now is it about checks?
Is it about championships?

815
00:52:58,808 --> 00:53:01,244
We're going to find out here tonight.
Oh, beautiful!

816
00:53:01,311 --> 00:53:04,414
[Vic] Nice job by Jordan. She is certainly
going to have to have a standout

817
00:53:04,481 --> 00:53:06,716
performance here tonight
to retain the title,

818
00:53:06,783 --> 00:53:10,720
because Wendy Choo, it's been
over two years since Choo has competed

819
00:53:10,787 --> 00:53:11,955
for the women's title.

820
00:53:12,022 --> 00:53:16,393
And is that part of the reason why we've
seen this identity shift in Choo recently?

821
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:19,863
It's up and over
and that's that standout individual.

822
00:53:19,930 --> 00:53:21,831
That's taking it to the next level.

823
00:53:21,898 --> 00:53:25,402
That's the natural athletic ability
of Kelani Jordan.

824
00:53:25,468 --> 00:53:29,472
[Book] That time off perhaps did Choo
a lot of good as far as trying

825
00:53:29,539 --> 00:53:31,141
to get momentum, trying to find…

826
00:53:31,207 --> 00:53:34,144
[Vic] Going to the cover,
looking for that split legged moonsault,

827
00:53:34,211 --> 00:53:37,314
but Choo rolling from the left
to the right side of the bed.

828
00:53:37,380 --> 00:53:40,350
[Book] Create a little bit of space.
That was smart by Wendy Choo.

829
00:53:40,417 --> 00:53:45,255
[Vic] Take another look. Oh, nasty landing
for Kelani Jordan, but highly effective

830
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:48,124
and looking to clutch out Jordan.
Nice roll through, shoulders down.

831
00:53:48,191 --> 00:53:51,628
And having to relinquish the hold was the
challenger Choo, turning right back around

832
00:53:51,695 --> 00:53:53,430
looking for a belly to back suplex.

833
00:53:53,496 --> 00:53:55,365
Nice counter by Kelani for a moment,

834
00:53:55,432 --> 00:53:59,236
able to go up, over, land on her feet
and deliver a drop kick.

835
00:54:00,136 --> 00:54:02,839
You asked about the playbook.
You asked about studying.

836
00:54:02,906 --> 00:54:04,874
Kelani's answering your questions
right now.

837
00:54:04,941 --> 00:54:07,043
[Book] She's a student.
She's a student of the game.

838
00:54:07,110 --> 00:54:11,214
And like I said, for someone that's so
young, Vic, she seemed to have her head

839
00:54:11,281 --> 00:54:16,753
-on her shoulders. Here we go! Here we go!
-[Vic] Two, able to power out at two.

840
00:54:16,820 --> 00:54:19,823
You know, for Kelani,
someone that we've really gotten to know

841
00:54:19,889 --> 00:54:23,159
over the last several months,
doesn't like those who pick on others.

842
00:54:23,226 --> 00:54:26,429
She's also shown
she's not afraid to take risks.

843
00:54:26,496 --> 00:54:30,166
-Maybe took a little bit too much time.
-[Book] Yeah, that could be a detriment.

844
00:54:30,233 --> 00:54:33,870
You can't be thinking about anybody else
but a number one in this business.

845
00:54:33,937 --> 00:54:37,974
That's what got Kelani Jordan
to the top, if she wants to stay there…

846
00:54:38,041 --> 00:54:41,011
[Vic] Did Wendy Choo just growl?
Did you hear Wendy Choo

847
00:54:41,077 --> 00:54:43,213
just growl at Kelani Jordan?
You talked about the…

848
00:54:43,279 --> 00:54:45,749
[Book] Oh, man!

849
00:54:45,815 --> 00:54:48,985
[Vic] Talked about The Sleepy Psycho.

850
00:54:49,052 --> 00:54:52,389
She wants to make her dreams

851
00:54:52,455 --> 00:54:54,924
become a reality tonight.
Finally wear gold.

852
00:54:55,025 --> 00:54:58,561
But she's got to bring the nightmare
to the champion.

853
00:54:58,628 --> 00:55:02,866
[Book] Talking about the nightmares.
I love it, man.

854
00:55:04,267 --> 00:55:09,606
[Vic] Scary look on the face of Wendy
Choo. And it has been quite the night.

855
00:55:09,673 --> 00:55:14,310
The first ever NXT premium live event
to take place here in Denver.

856
00:55:14,377 --> 00:55:16,579
Noted on social media, Kelani Jordan said

857
00:55:16,646 --> 00:55:19,716
Wendy Choo is actually
her first opponent on level up.

858
00:55:19,783 --> 00:55:23,253
But this is not the same Choo
that face Jordan.

859
00:55:23,319 --> 00:55:25,488
We can also say that
that wasn't the same Jordan either.

860
00:55:25,555 --> 00:55:28,191
[Book] Kelani Jordan has grown
over these last few months.

861
00:55:28,258 --> 00:55:29,859
I mean, over this last year.

862
00:55:29,926 --> 00:55:32,862
I mean, almost became
the Breakout Tournament winner.

863
00:55:32,929 --> 00:55:34,464
-But now…
-[Vic] No, no, no!

864
00:55:34,531 --> 00:55:36,533
[Book] Oh, man.

865
00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:38,702
[chatter and shouts from the crowd]

866
00:55:38,768 --> 00:55:43,473
[Book] Back to my point. Holding that gold
Vic, you got a bullseye on your back.

867
00:55:44,841 --> 00:55:48,011
[Vic] And Wendy Choo certainly now

868
00:55:48,545 --> 00:55:51,614
trying to pull out all the stops. Oh!

869
00:55:52,315 --> 00:55:57,654
Has really had the champions number
multiple times over the last month.

870
00:55:57,721 --> 00:56:00,857
The number she needs now is three.
Not able to get it.

871
00:56:00,924 --> 00:56:03,827
She has been able to clutch out
Kelani Jordan every turn.

872
00:56:03,893 --> 00:56:07,731
That has to help the challengers
confidence, as now we're getting into

873
00:56:07,797 --> 00:56:09,766
the deep waters of this match.

874
00:56:09,833 --> 00:56:14,370
[Book] Wendy Choo has been a step ahead
of Kelani Jordan since this match started.

875
00:56:14,437 --> 00:56:17,607
-Oh, whoa!
-[Vic] Face first went the champion.

876
00:56:17,674 --> 00:56:19,576
And rolling right back through into a pin.

877
00:56:19,642 --> 00:56:24,114
Jordan was able to roll through
and right in to a small flatliner.

878
00:56:25,014 --> 00:56:28,852
And a sinister smile
on the face of The Sleepy Psycho.

879
00:56:28,918 --> 00:56:30,420
[Book] Come on, tell me, Vic.

880
00:56:30,487 --> 00:56:34,357
This Wendy Choo right here
has championship potential.

881
00:56:34,424 --> 00:56:37,060
[Vic] There's no doubt, that is what
has brought her to this matchup.

882
00:56:37,127 --> 00:56:39,462
And she could be closing in
on her first championship.

883
00:56:39,529 --> 00:56:42,866
But look at the athleticism
to get on display from Kelani Jordan.

884
00:56:42,932 --> 00:56:45,735
Able to land on her feet, duck
a clothesline, turn right back around,

885
00:56:45,802 --> 00:56:47,871
roll right through,
shoulders down, near fall.

886
00:56:47,937 --> 00:56:50,573
[Book] That was smart right there,
going for the pinfall.

887
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,877
Oh, my God. Double chop to the throat.

888
00:56:53,943 --> 00:56:57,113
[Vic]
And Choo turning around. And now that

889
00:56:57,180 --> 00:57:01,951
look on the face of Wendy Choo, is almost
looked and turned into determination.

890
00:57:02,018 --> 00:57:06,022
-Oh, right to the spine, goes two.
-[Book] Like I say, this is different.

891
00:57:06,089 --> 00:57:09,259
-She's got more than one gear now, Vic.
-[Vic] Yep.

892
00:57:09,325 --> 00:57:11,528
[Book] She's turning it on
what she wants to right now.

893
00:57:11,594 --> 00:57:14,397
She's in total control of this matchup.

894
00:57:14,464 --> 00:57:17,600
[Vic] It's hard not to argue with you,
as Choo coming right in and showing

895
00:57:17,667 --> 00:57:19,836
some athleticism in her own right.

896
00:57:19,903 --> 00:57:23,006
And we talked about that confidence
being built in the challenger

897
00:57:23,072 --> 00:57:24,140
over the last month.

898
00:57:24,207 --> 00:57:27,577
You got to also think if you're Kelani
Jordan, you haven't liked being clutched

899
00:57:27,644 --> 00:57:30,847
out over and over again.
You gotta bring it here tonight.

900
00:57:30,914 --> 00:57:34,050
Rolling through cover,
count and a near fall.

901
00:57:34,117 --> 00:57:37,420
[Book] It is something you're going into
a match when you're the champ,

902
00:57:37,487 --> 00:57:40,790
you still feel like you're the underdog,
like you got something to prove.

903
00:57:40,857 --> 00:57:44,527
Oh, my God, man.
Wendy Choo is on top of her game.

904
00:57:44,594 --> 00:57:48,665
[Vic] Choo back in, big kick under the
jaw. And Wendy Choo has been in control.

905
00:57:48,731 --> 00:57:51,901
[Book] Oh, sleepy dive, sleepy dive.

906
00:57:51,968 --> 00:57:54,270
[Vic] And a kickout.

907
00:57:56,105 --> 00:58:01,478
What do you think Wendy Choo would do
if she became champion here in NXT?

908
00:58:01,544 --> 00:58:07,550
Think about the chaos, the havoc she's
reached without having any championship,

909
00:58:07,617 --> 00:58:10,820
-any sway, any pull.
-[Book] You look at Wendy Choo,

910
00:58:10,887 --> 00:58:13,423
the growth of Wendy Choo
after taking that layoff.

911
00:58:13,490 --> 00:58:16,860
And we always talk about getting
that championship around your waist.

912
00:58:16,926 --> 00:58:21,564
It makes you about 20 to 30 % better.
Here we go!

913
00:58:21,631 --> 00:58:25,768
[Vic] Kelani just able to shake her way
free, create a little bit of separation.

914
00:58:25,835 --> 00:58:29,906
Able to sit up this time,
but right back down.

915
00:58:29,973 --> 00:58:33,076
Look at Kelani fighting her way through,
fighting her way back up.

916
00:58:33,142 --> 00:58:37,680
And now both women, same idea.
Both women out.

917
00:58:37,747 --> 00:58:41,718
With the NXT Women's
North American Championship

918
00:58:41,784 --> 00:58:46,356
hanging in the balance
here at No Mercy in Denver.

919
00:58:46,422 --> 00:58:47,790
You've brought it up a few times.

920
00:58:47,857 --> 00:58:50,693
Mile high, the air.
You talked about competitors

921
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,662
having to get used to the atmosphere here.

922
00:58:52,729 --> 00:58:55,632
[Book] 5,200 feet above sea level, Vic,

923
00:58:55,698 --> 00:59:00,203
is going to come into play at some point
in time in these matches here tonight,

924
00:59:00,270 --> 00:59:01,905
You just got to suck it up.

925
00:59:01,971 --> 00:59:05,608
[Vic] And that is what Kelani Jordan
is doing right now.

926
00:59:05,675 --> 00:59:07,844
The champion got caught, though.

927
00:59:07,911 --> 00:59:13,116
-German suplex delivered beautifully.
-[Book] One step ahead, all night long.

928
00:59:13,182 --> 00:59:14,951
All night long.

929
00:59:15,018 --> 00:59:17,553
[Vic] Kelani, though,
able to get right out in front.

930
00:59:17,620 --> 00:59:21,925
And now there's that athleticism,
that Big Ten standout,

931
00:59:21,991 --> 00:59:27,664
-that Michigan State athleticism.
-[Book] Wow.

932
00:59:27,730 --> 00:59:30,166
No fitness, young lady.

933
00:59:30,233 --> 00:59:34,203
[Vic] College standout to NXT Champion.
Side steps, Choo.

934
00:59:34,270 --> 00:59:38,741
Choo able to side step for a moment,
and then almost with the heel of her foot

935
00:59:38,808 --> 00:59:41,411
able to drop the challenger.

936
00:59:41,477 --> 00:59:44,213
And this now is go time for Kelani Jordan.

937
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,582
We said what are we going to learn
about Kelani?

938
00:59:46,649 --> 00:59:49,852
It's these moments, isn't it, Booker?
In championship matches.

939
00:59:49,919 --> 00:59:53,823
[Book] Talking about those
championship rounds. Oh, here we go!

940
00:59:53,890 --> 00:59:56,492
-Here we go.
-[Vic] Rolling through is the champion.

941
00:59:56,559 --> 01:00:03,066
Kelani holding on. Another one.
High impact offense again to retain.

942
01:00:03,132 --> 01:00:07,470
And Wendy Choo
just getting that shoulder up.

943
01:00:07,537 --> 01:00:10,273
You see the look
at Kelani Jordan, frustration.

944
01:00:10,340 --> 01:00:14,677
She is hitting Wendy Choo with everything
in that playbook we talked about,

945
01:00:14,744 --> 01:00:16,913
and a little bit more,
back to the live action.

946
01:00:16,980 --> 01:00:19,248
A drop kick connected
and Wendy Choo just sat up.

947
01:00:19,315 --> 01:00:21,951
[Book]
You got a wonder how many plays left.

948
01:00:22,018 --> 01:00:26,356
How many plays does Kelani Jordan
have left in the trick bag, Vic?

949
01:00:26,422 --> 01:00:29,459
[Vic] Another splat, and Choo again!

950
01:00:29,525 --> 01:00:36,165
-Almost as if she's possessed.
-[Book] Oh, my God.

951
01:00:36,232 --> 01:00:38,067
[grunts]

952
01:00:38,134 --> 01:00:42,472
[Vic] And Kelani, stomping away.

953
01:00:44,007 --> 01:00:48,745
And now could be looking to fly,
Wendy Choo not moving.

954
01:00:48,811 --> 01:00:52,382
Jordan to the top! Frog splash!

955
01:00:52,448 --> 01:00:57,220
You could give that five stars,
but you can't give her the three yet.

956
01:00:57,286 --> 01:01:00,923
Choo's inside shoulder just off the mat.

957
01:01:01,391 --> 01:01:03,726
Unbelievable.

958
01:01:04,293 --> 01:01:08,197
And Book, I come back, what plays,
what plays could be left?

959
01:01:08,264 --> 01:01:12,201
[Book] I wonder if Kelani Jordan has
run out of ideas by this point right now.

960
01:01:12,268 --> 01:01:16,105
Now she's just on solo right now, Vic.

961
01:01:16,172 --> 01:01:18,608
[Vic] And that's what we saw
earlier in the matchup.

962
01:01:18,674 --> 01:01:22,512
Trying to go up and over.
Choo though, able to counter

963
01:01:22,578 --> 01:01:26,716
with some high impact offense of her own.
Big suplex on the outside.

964
01:01:26,783 --> 01:01:30,453
[Book] Kelani Jordan right now
have pulled every trick out of the bag.

965
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,523
And I really, honestly, truly believe
she's out of tricks now.

966
01:01:33,589 --> 01:01:37,460
[Vic] But Wendy Choo, you gotta wonder
what sort of nightmare she's conjured up.

967
01:01:37,527 --> 01:01:40,797
What sort of offense,
has a full nelson right now, locked in.

968
01:01:40,863 --> 01:01:44,333
-Nice counter though by the champion.
-[Book] Still on autopilot.

969
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:48,671
[Vic] Could be, Jordan back to her feet
quickly and again, charging right back in.

970
01:01:48,738 --> 01:01:55,311
And again, Choo overpowering,
looking for a powerbomb.

971
01:01:55,378 --> 01:01:57,013
[Book] Wow.

972
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:03,820
[Vic] And Wendy Choo could be closing in
on NXT Championship gold. Good night.

973
01:02:03,886 --> 01:02:06,723
Sleepy time indeed. No! Another kickout.

974
01:02:06,789 --> 01:02:08,791
[Book] Wow.

975
01:02:09,459 --> 01:02:12,495
[Vic] And now it's Wendy Choo,
showing that frustration.

976
01:02:12,562 --> 01:02:14,897
And you're right, momentum.

977
01:02:14,964 --> 01:02:18,534
[Book] All the momentum have shifted
to Wendy Choo right now, Vic.

978
01:02:18,601 --> 01:02:22,071
Like I said, I don't know
if Kelani Jordan have any,

979
01:02:22,138 --> 01:02:25,608
any more thoughts of what can she do
in a matchup like this.

980
01:02:25,675 --> 01:02:29,245
[Vic] Trying to clutch her out one more
time. We've seen her do it three.

981
01:02:29,312 --> 01:02:32,281
But look at Kelani
negotiating her way free.

982
01:02:32,348 --> 01:02:38,121
And not only that, finding a way
to finally escape the clutches of Choo.

983
01:02:38,187 --> 01:02:40,957
[Book] That was just a window open
for Jordan right there.

984
01:02:41,023 --> 01:02:44,093
-She stepped in there real quick.
-[Vic] She doesn't have to step into it.

985
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,929
She's got to kick that damn thing in.

986
01:02:47,463 --> 01:02:48,898
Oh.

987
01:02:48,965 --> 01:02:52,969
[Book] Still one step ahead.
Still one step ahead. Here we go.

988
01:02:53,035 --> 01:02:55,338
Sleepy Psycho going up top.

989
01:02:55,404 --> 01:02:58,741
[Vic]
Choo, looking for that exclamation point.

990
01:02:58,808 --> 01:03:05,314
Kelani trying to block, trying to fight.
Trying to break this hold of Choo.

991
01:03:05,381 --> 01:03:08,551
Was successful for a moment.
Put the challenger right back in.

992
01:03:08,618 --> 01:03:13,656
Climbing right back up. Oh!
Both women go crashing down.

993
01:03:13,723 --> 01:03:17,693
Fatigue maybe starting to settle in.
Maybe that air we've talked about,

994
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,631
-that thin air affecting these athletes.
-[Book] They don't call it mile high, Vic.

995
01:03:21,697 --> 01:03:23,966
They don't call it mile high
for nothing, man.

996
01:03:24,033 --> 01:03:29,772
[Vic] And the clutch locked in one more
time. Kelani fighting, Kelani trying.

997
01:03:29,839 --> 01:03:32,608
Can she get to the ropes?
Can she break the hold?

998
01:03:32,675 --> 01:03:37,113
And she's being clutched out.
Choo squeezing.

999
01:03:37,847 --> 01:03:40,783
Look, Choo looking to fall to sleep.

1000
01:03:40,850 --> 01:03:44,153
-[Book] Oh, baby.
-[Vic] Kelani is fading.

1001
01:03:44,220 --> 01:03:47,623
-[Book] Oh, baby.
-[Vic] Kelani could be out.

1002
01:03:49,458 --> 01:03:54,997
Does Kelani have anything left?
She's got to empty the tank.

1003
01:03:56,232 --> 01:04:02,872
NXT Universe willing on the champion,
who's still trying to break that hold.

1004
01:04:02,939 --> 01:04:05,775
[Book] Right now
she's still running on fumes, though.

1005
01:04:05,841 --> 01:04:10,112
How much does Kelani have left
in the tank? That's the question, man.

1006
01:04:10,646 --> 01:04:13,249
[Vic] All you need is just a little,
right, Booker?

1007
01:04:13,316 --> 01:04:15,685
You just got to have a little bit left.

1008
01:04:15,751 --> 01:04:18,788
[Booker] Kelani being pushed
to the limit tonight, Vic.

1009
01:04:18,855 --> 01:04:20,957
Farthest we've seen her go right now.

1010
01:04:21,357 --> 01:04:24,060
[Vic] You said we were going to learn
a lot about the champion.

1011
01:04:24,126 --> 01:04:28,097
Who comes right back in with a flatliner.

1012
01:04:29,098 --> 01:04:33,436
-But not moving at that normal pace.
-[Book] No, this is mile high right here.

1013
01:04:33,502 --> 01:04:37,707
It affects you. And if you hadn't gotten
here a little early to try to combat that,

1014
01:04:37,773 --> 01:04:40,042
it's going to hit you sooner or later.

1015
01:04:40,109 --> 01:04:42,645
-Here we go!
-[Vic] Plane through the air.

1016
01:04:42,712 --> 01:04:44,513
One more time.

1017
01:04:45,214 --> 01:04:50,586
And Kelani knows it's gonna take
a little extra here tonight.

1018
01:04:50,653 --> 01:04:52,555
We saw it earlier. She couldn't connect.

1019
01:04:52,622 --> 01:04:56,692
But looking for that split legged
one of a kind moonsault.

1020
01:04:56,792 --> 01:05:01,964
-And Jordan stands out one more time.
-[Book] Wow.

1021
01:05:02,031 --> 01:05:05,668
[announcer] Here is your winner, and still

1022
01:05:05,735 --> 01:05:11,340
the NXT Women's North American Champion,

1023
01:05:11,407 --> 01:05:15,711
Kelani Jordan.

1024
01:05:16,545 --> 01:05:19,148
[Vic] You said she was gonna
show something tonight.

1025
01:05:19,215 --> 01:05:21,951
We were gonna learn a lot
about the champion,

1026
01:05:22,018 --> 01:05:26,422
and we certainly did. But Wendy Choo

1027
01:05:26,489 --> 01:05:29,659
-brought it out of the champion.
-[Book] Give it up for Wendy Choo.

1028
01:05:29,725 --> 01:05:33,195
Give it up. What a night, what a fight.

1029
01:05:33,262 --> 01:05:36,899
[Vic]
Into the cover, near fall after near fall.

1030
01:05:36,966 --> 01:05:39,435
And this was the best opportunity
for Choo.

1031
01:05:39,502 --> 01:05:43,439
So close to clutching out Kelani Jordan.

1032
01:05:43,506 --> 01:05:47,176
But Jordan showed you the heart
that made her a standout

1033
01:05:47,243 --> 01:05:53,549
in the Big Ten at Michigan State, never
met a risk she wasn't willing to take.

1034
01:05:53,616 --> 01:05:56,819
And she pulled out a lot of risks
from that playbook here tonight.

1035
01:05:56,886 --> 01:06:01,657
But the homerun call, the one
that always was that one of a kind,

1036
01:06:01,724 --> 01:06:08,397
split legged moonsault as Kelani proves
no one can do it like Kelani.

1037
01:06:08,464 --> 01:06:14,870
And whoever steps up next
better prove to be one of… What?

1038
01:06:15,738 --> 01:06:17,173
It's Tatum Paxley.

1039
01:06:17,239 --> 01:06:19,308
[crowd cheering]

1040
01:06:19,375 --> 01:06:24,880
[Vic] Paxley, returning the favor to Choo.

1041
01:06:28,684 --> 01:06:31,354
A stunned silence.

1042
01:06:38,027 --> 01:06:39,962
[rock music playing]

1043
01:06:40,029 --> 01:06:43,933
[Vic] Booker, you like to say sleepy time.

1044
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:50,439
Tatum Paxley might have just given that
a whole new meaning.

1045
01:06:56,645 --> 01:06:58,080
[soft music playing]

1046
01:06:58,147 --> 01:07:01,283
[Jaida] For those of you who haven't
caught up to the hype yet,

1047
01:07:01,350 --> 01:07:05,421
allow me to reintroduce myself.
My name is Jaida Parker.

1048
01:07:05,488 --> 01:07:07,823
[Book] Ms. Parker in the house.

1049
01:07:07,890 --> 01:07:11,494
[Vic] Jaida Parker has certainly made
an impression very quickly.

1050
01:07:12,328 --> 01:07:16,966
I am confident, I am cocky.
I say what's on my mind all the time.

1051
01:07:17,033 --> 01:07:20,736
And when that money is in the middle,
Jaida Parker is always on point.

1052
01:07:21,303 --> 01:07:24,874
[Vic] And Jaida proves
she is everything she says she is.

1053
01:07:25,441 --> 01:07:29,211
[Jaida] Because Ms. Parker brings a
pressure NXT has never felt before.

1054
01:07:29,278 --> 01:07:34,016
[Book] She's all in her element tonight.
This is a street fight, man.

1055
01:07:34,517 --> 01:07:36,185
[Vic] Parker, no!

1056
01:07:36,252 --> 01:07:38,954
[Jaida]
Michin messed around and found out.

1057
01:07:39,422 --> 01:07:44,026
[Vic] This era of NXT
may be running through Ms. Parker.

1058
01:07:44,093 --> 01:07:47,229
-[crowd cheering]
-[hip hop music playing]

1059
01:07:59,341 --> 01:08:03,446
[Jaida] I ain't scared of the spotlight,
I've been in this since I was a teenager.

1060
01:08:03,512 --> 01:08:06,649
I've had D1 scholarship offers
since I was in middle school, baby.

1061
01:08:06,715 --> 01:08:11,487
I played at LSU in front of thousands
and thousands of fans. I was on the U.S.

1062
01:08:11,554 --> 01:08:13,889
17 Women's National Team for soccer.

1063
01:08:13,956 --> 01:08:18,294
So nah, I'm not a soccer player
that became a WWE superstar.

1064
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,564
I am a WWE superstar
who used to play soccer.

1065
01:08:21,630 --> 01:08:27,470
[Vic] And just like that, it's Ms. Parker
who's headed to No Mercy.

1066
01:08:27,536 --> 01:08:32,675
Roxanne Perez, you might be a great
champion, but when it comes to that title,

1067
01:08:32,741 --> 01:08:35,177
Jaida Parker got next.

1068
01:08:36,512 --> 01:08:38,314
Everybody just always has a story

1069
01:08:38,380 --> 01:08:41,250
when it comes to challenging me
for my championship.

1070
01:08:41,317 --> 01:08:44,220
[Jaida] Roxanne, I'm gonna slap
the taste out of your mouth.

1071
01:08:44,286 --> 01:08:46,155
I'd like to see you try.

1072
01:08:47,022 --> 01:08:48,757
[grunts]

1073
01:08:48,824 --> 01:08:51,227
[hip hop music playing]

1074
01:08:51,293 --> 01:08:53,529
[crowd cheering]

1075
01:08:57,366 --> 01:09:00,836
[Vic] Women's championship matchup
still to come, there's been a lot of talk

1076
01:09:00,903 --> 01:09:04,373
around the Tag Team Division
and the NXT Tag Team Titles.

1077
01:09:04,440 --> 01:09:11,447
There you see Wolfgang speaking on behalf
of Gallus here tonight when it comes to

1078
01:09:11,814 --> 01:09:14,617
what Hank and Tank had to say earlier.

1079
01:09:14,683 --> 01:09:18,721
But speaking of earlier tonight,
we got to go back to how we

1080
01:09:18,787 --> 01:09:23,826
kicked off the evening when
the NXT Tag Team Titles were on the line.

1081
01:09:24,493 --> 01:09:26,362
I mean, this is hard to watch.

1082
01:09:26,428 --> 01:09:32,368
Once again, it was Ridge Holland
turning his back on Chase University

1083
01:09:32,434 --> 01:09:37,373
here tonight in Denver, attacking his
former, now we call them teammates

1084
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,975
and classmates, including Andre Chase,

1085
01:09:40,042 --> 01:09:43,746
the man who gave him
a second chance here in NXT.

1086
01:09:44,146 --> 01:09:46,682
Ridge Holland would take things
to another level,

1087
01:09:46,749 --> 01:09:53,756
really unleashing his rage with Thea Hail
pleading for Ridge Holland to stop.

1088
01:09:56,926 --> 01:10:01,764
And from there, we would see Chase
be stretchered out of the building

1089
01:10:01,830 --> 01:10:03,832
here in Denver.

1090
01:10:04,333 --> 01:10:07,336
[Thea] We're going in an ambulance.

1091
01:10:07,736 --> 01:10:09,238
[Vic] Loaded into the ambulance.

1092
01:10:09,305 --> 01:10:12,041
And we still have not received
any word on Andre Chase,

1093
01:10:12,107 --> 01:10:17,580
but we hope to have an update
on Andre Chase as soon as possible.

1094
01:10:18,581 --> 01:10:21,584
[ambulance siren sounding]

1095
01:10:26,956 --> 01:10:30,593
[Sarah] Excuse me, Ridge. Ridge,
can you explain what happened out there?

1096
01:10:30,659 --> 01:10:33,696
Why did you do what you did to Mr. Chase?

1097
01:10:41,570 --> 01:10:44,573

[bell ringing]

1099
01:11:18,007 --> 01:11:20,709
[announcer] The following contest,
schedule for one fall,

1100
01:11:20,776 --> 01:11:27,383
is for the NXT
North American Championship.

1101
01:11:27,449 --> 01:11:33,555
Introducing the challenger,
the company by The D'Angelo Family,

1102
01:11:33,622 --> 01:11:37,192
The Don of NXT,

1103
01:11:37,259 --> 01:11:42,898
Tony D'Angelo.

1104
01:11:43,332 --> 01:11:46,468
[Vic]
Well, heading into this matchup, Book,

1105
01:11:46,535 --> 01:11:51,607
what sort of plan does Tony D'Angelo have
to have cooked up

1106
01:11:51,674 --> 01:11:54,009
to become champion once again in NXT?

1107
01:11:54,076 --> 01:12:00,215
[Book] Thinking of a master plan ain't
nothing but sweat inside my hand. Oh, yes.

1108
01:12:00,282 --> 01:12:06,355
He's going to have to have a plan, because
he's going up against that man, Oba Femi.

1109
01:12:06,422 --> 01:12:11,827
And this is about to get nasty, dog.
Oh, yes.

01:12:41,490 --> 01:12:43,792
[announcer] And his opponent,

1113
01:12:43,859 --> 01:12:50,766
he is the NXT North American Champion,

1114
01:12:50,833 --> 01:12:55,204
Oba Femi.

1115
01:12:55,270 --> 01:13:00,909
[Vic] Booker, you talked about the airport
test. What grade do you give Oba?

1116
01:13:00,976 --> 01:13:03,512
[Book]
Bro, bro, that's intimidating right there.

1117
01:13:03,579 --> 01:13:05,981
Just to watch this man make that walk.

1118
01:13:06,048 --> 01:13:12,521
Oba Femi. No bread, no water, just beef.

1119
01:13:13,088 --> 01:13:14,857
This is going to be good.

1120
01:13:14,923 --> 01:13:18,994
[Vic] I got a crazy stat for you, Book,
before we start this matchup.

1121
01:13:19,061 --> 01:13:20,829
-You ready for it?
-[Book] Give it to me.

1122
01:13:20,896 --> 01:13:25,834
Oba Femi has only had 21,
think about that,

1123
01:13:25,901 --> 01:13:31,373
21 televised matches in NXT. 21 matches.

1124
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:36,345
Think about how long, how dominant he's
been as the North American Champion.

1125
01:13:36,411 --> 01:13:39,314
Where were you
at 21 matches in your career?

1126
01:13:39,381 --> 01:13:42,584
[Book] Still agreeing on.
I had no titles or anything like that.

1127
01:13:42,651 --> 01:13:49,258
But this man said he has no weaknesses.
We wonder how far can Oba Femi go?

1128
01:13:49,324 --> 01:13:54,029
[Vic] That's the first time ever these two
have met in any sort of matchup.

1129
01:13:55,130 --> 01:14:01,804
You know, we saw The Don overpower
Oba Femi a few weeks ago on NXT.

1130
01:14:01,870 --> 01:14:05,808
Do some forget what The Don
has accomplished here in NXT?

1131
01:14:05,874 --> 01:14:06,909
[Book] I think so.

1132
01:14:06,975 --> 01:14:10,879
You look at the Heritage Cup, man,
that was just an appetizer.

1133
01:14:10,946 --> 01:14:13,048
I said it. The Don wants more.

1134
01:14:13,115 --> 01:14:16,718
And it starts right here tonight
with the North American Championship.

1135
01:14:16,785 --> 01:14:20,622
[Vic] You talked about someone who beat
Tommaso Ciampa, Stand & Deliver,

1136
01:14:20,689 --> 01:14:24,760
won the turf war against Santos Escobar,
has won Tag Team gold, the Heritage Cup,

1137
01:14:24,860 --> 01:14:28,397
that you just talked about, put The Family
together, but now face to face!

1138
01:14:28,464 --> 01:14:31,700
Look at that takedown. How many
have taken out Oba Femi that quick?

1139
01:14:31,767 --> 01:14:35,304
[Book] That's what The Done is all about.
He's going to go toe-to-toe with you.

1140
01:14:35,370 --> 01:14:39,808
It's about who's the last man standing.
That's gangsta, baby.

1141
01:14:39,875 --> 01:14:41,877
[Vic] Oba Femi answering right back.

1142
01:14:41,944 --> 01:14:45,080
Talk about The Don, talk about
what happened a few weeks ago.

1143
01:14:45,147 --> 01:14:48,383
How much credit do you give The Don
for standing up to Oba Femi?

1144
01:14:48,450 --> 01:14:52,654
Because no one has ever stood up
to Oba Femi the way Tony D'Angelo has.

1145
01:14:52,721 --> 01:14:55,257
[Book]
Sometimes you just gotta take the respect.

1146
01:14:55,324 --> 01:14:58,727
Somebody's not gonna give it to you
like Oba Femi, because he feel like

1147
01:14:58,794 --> 01:15:00,896
he is the ruler of NXT.

1148
01:15:00,963 --> 01:15:04,566
You gotta go out there and show him
who's the boss. Here we go.

1149
01:15:04,633 --> 01:15:05,934
[Vic] Determination in the eyes.

1150
01:15:06,001 --> 01:15:09,371
And Tony D'Angelo
is rocking Oba Femi right now.

1151
01:15:09,438 --> 01:15:14,042
Hoisted and planted over two weeks ago.
The ring shook. The world was shocked.

1152
01:15:14,109 --> 01:15:17,813
And we can agree that no one
has handled Oba Femi in that way.

1153
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,884
And early on, a couple German suplex,
he's thrown around Oba Femi,

1154
01:15:21,950 --> 01:15:24,253
-compared to what we've seen.
-[Book] Wow, wow.

1155
01:15:24,319 --> 01:15:27,789
Technique coming into play from Oba Femi.
I didn't see that right there.

1156
01:15:27,856 --> 01:15:32,528
[Vic] Oh, and over now, running games
might be over for the challenger,

1157
01:15:32,594 --> 01:15:34,930
for The Don, for Tony D'Angelo

1158
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:38,300
-in this matchup with Oba Femi.
-[Book] What I like about Tony D,

1159
01:15:38,367 --> 01:15:40,402
he's gonna come in here,
he's gonna go toe-to-toe.

1160
01:15:40,469 --> 01:15:44,172
He's not gonna try to take a back door,
weigh it in or anything like that.

1161
01:15:44,239 --> 01:15:47,142
He's gonna go one-on-one,
mano a mano. And I like that.

1162
01:15:47,209 --> 01:15:50,979
The Don is in great shape, too.
Look at his body. Look at his body.

1163
01:15:51,046 --> 01:15:53,682
[Vic] Very true. We saw one title
change hands already tonight.

1164
01:15:53,749 --> 01:15:58,086
Will we see a second?
As Tony D'Angelo just got dropped by Oba.

1165
01:15:58,153 --> 01:16:00,489
[Book] No,
I think he caught a low blow right there.

1166
01:16:00,556 --> 01:16:04,493
[Vic] That'll drop any man, any human
as well. And you talked about…

1167
01:16:04,559 --> 01:16:06,061
[Book] That was inadvertent.

1168
01:16:06,128 --> 01:16:08,997
[Vic] That's a great job by the official
to let this one continue.

1169
01:16:09,064 --> 01:16:11,466
And you gotta wonder
when it comes to being impartial.

1170
01:16:11,533 --> 01:16:14,336
Trick Williams, a special guest referee
coming up later tonight.

1171
01:16:14,403 --> 01:16:16,638
You know he's going to call things
right down the middle.

1172
01:16:16,705 --> 01:16:19,274
[Book]
You think he's going to call it down?

1173
01:16:19,341 --> 01:16:22,277
-[Vic] I really do believe so.
-[Book] Come on, man. Don't be naive.

1174
01:16:22,344 --> 01:16:24,780
Don't be so naive, please.

1175
01:16:25,514 --> 01:16:28,417
[Vic]
And right now, big suplex by Oba Femi.

1176
01:16:28,483 --> 01:16:31,119
And the game might have changed
here in this matchup.

1177
01:16:31,186 --> 01:16:34,756
Going into the cover is Oba Femi,
and The Don able to kick out.

1178
01:16:34,823 --> 01:16:39,695
And I want to go back for a moment,
because look at the landing right here.

1179
01:16:39,761 --> 01:16:43,632
He stepped on the right foot of Oba Femi
and turned the ankle.

1180
01:16:43,699 --> 01:16:45,534
You think about a sprained ankle,
you think about

1181
01:16:45,601 --> 01:16:49,438
a turned ankle that's sometimes sidelines
NFL players for six, seven weeks.

1182
01:16:49,504 --> 01:16:53,008
[Book] We don't know how bad it is,
because we don't know if it's a sprain

1183
01:16:53,075 --> 01:16:56,311
or if it's a break, but he's gonna have to
fight through it ff he want that title.

1184
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:59,881
[Vic] You gotta wonder too, if under those
boots maybe The Don has that ankle tape,

1185
01:16:59,948 --> 01:17:02,150
which might help him a little bit
in this matchup.

1186
01:17:02,217 --> 01:17:06,521
But also, if it's not, how much power is
Tony D'Angelo gonna have in this matchup?

1187
01:17:06,588 --> 01:17:10,993
We talked about that huge, you know,
two weeks ago when he just planted Oba,

1188
01:17:11,059 --> 01:17:15,130
and the German suplexes we've seen,
he might not have that lower base anymore.

1189
01:17:15,197 --> 01:17:17,899
If there's some severe damage
done to that ankle.

1190
01:17:17,966 --> 01:17:20,402
[Book] We're gonna find out real quick
how far he can go,

1191
01:17:20,469 --> 01:17:24,773
because adrenaline's only gonna take him
so far before that pain set in.

1192
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,775
And trust me, Oba Femi,

1193
01:17:26,842 --> 01:17:31,613
he's not gonna let up any.
He's gonna keep the hammer down. Oh, wow!

1194
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,916
[Vic] We might have to hold our words,
because Tony D'Angelo powering

1195
01:17:34,983 --> 01:17:36,818
through whatever sort of injury he may

1196
01:17:36,885 --> 01:17:39,688
or maybe not have right now
in this matchup.

1197
01:17:39,755 --> 01:17:42,424
-[Book] Still hard to get up to his feet.
-[Vic] Many have tried

1198
01:17:42,491 --> 01:17:45,861
to show Oba that he was mortal,
but no one has succeeded.

1199
01:17:45,927 --> 01:17:52,801
And you're seeing right now maybe why.
The power, the pure dominance from Oba.

1200
01:17:53,435 --> 01:17:58,607
[Book] Think about Oba Femi, he fights up
to the strengths of his opponent, Vic.

1201
01:17:58,674 --> 01:18:01,943
I mean, he…
Wherever you go, he's going to match you.

1202
01:18:02,010 --> 01:18:05,814
That's what I like about this guy,
Oba Femi. He's different.

1203
01:18:05,881 --> 01:18:10,152
[Vic] Dominating NXT
like he did the SEC at Alabama.

1204
01:18:10,218 --> 01:18:13,755
You know, coach prime could use
a few Oba Femis on the offensive line

1205
01:18:13,822 --> 01:18:16,425
-at Colorado.
-[Book] Yes, indeed. Here we go.

1206
01:18:16,491 --> 01:18:19,161
-Here we go.
-[Vic] Will this be enough? No.

1207
01:18:19,227 --> 01:18:21,029
Tony D's not going to go down that easy.

1208
01:18:21,096 --> 01:18:25,233
I think we can agree with that too.
You don't become The Don

1209
01:18:25,300 --> 01:18:27,335
-just rolling over.
-[Book] No, no, no.

1210
01:18:27,402 --> 01:18:30,372
Oba Femi gave him respect
and called him The Don of NXT.

1211
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:34,076
But he also said one thing, Vic.
He's The Ruler.

1212
01:18:34,142 --> 01:18:37,679
The Ruler of NXT.
That's a little different.

1213
01:18:37,746 --> 01:18:40,782
[Vic] You can say that again.
Voice of WWE on his way back from Germany.

1214
01:18:40,849 --> 01:18:42,417
Bash in Berlin was yesterday.

1215
01:18:42,484 --> 01:18:47,389
Michael Cole has said time and time again
he sees big things for Oba Femi.

1216
01:18:47,456 --> 01:18:52,627
And once again here tonight,
Oba Femi is just dominant.

1217
01:18:53,195 --> 01:18:58,266
[Book] Oba Femi, that cloak,
that cloak of invincibility.

1218
01:18:58,767 --> 01:19:00,302
Oh, my God!

1219
01:19:00,368 --> 01:19:02,871
[Vic] Makes you glad you're sitting
next to me finally, doesn't it?

1220
01:19:02,938 --> 01:19:05,207
[Book] Man, I don't want
no piece of this right here.

1221
01:19:05,273 --> 01:19:09,077
This dude, like I said,
he could go in any era, Vic.

1222
01:19:09,144 --> 01:19:11,913
I mean, the past,
the present, or the future.

1223
01:19:11,980 --> 01:19:15,951
This dude right here,
he is the next big thing.

1224
01:19:16,017 --> 01:19:18,553
[referee shouting]

1225
01:19:18,620 --> 01:19:21,056
[Vic]
And just showing that dominance again.

1226
01:19:21,123 --> 01:19:24,092
Oba declared he doesn't
seek Tony's acceptance

1227
01:19:24,159 --> 01:19:27,229
or approval for anything as The Don.

1228
01:19:27,295 --> 01:19:29,331
These two have been trying
to one up each other,

1229
01:19:29,397 --> 01:19:33,602
but we both can agree that this matchup
really changed for a moment.

1230
01:19:33,668 --> 01:19:36,037
When Tony D'Angelo
rolled his ankle earlier.

1231
01:19:36,104 --> 01:19:38,440
What sort of pain now is D'Angelo in?

1232
01:19:38,507 --> 01:19:41,376
What is he going to be able to withstand
as this matchup continues?

1233
01:19:41,443 --> 01:19:44,746
And The Don tries to bring
the North American title to The Family.

1234
01:19:44,813 --> 01:19:47,249
[Book] Trying to keep the big man
close to the body.

1235
01:19:47,315 --> 01:19:53,288
[Vic] Oh! Papa Shango, that shoulder
breaking. The voodoo here in Denver.

1236
01:19:53,355 --> 01:19:56,758
Not enough.
D'Angelo again able to kickout.

1237
01:19:56,825 --> 01:19:59,728
[Book]
Unstoppable this man. Check this out, Vic.

1238
01:19:59,795 --> 01:20:02,030
-Look at the power.
-[Vic] Not just the power.

1239
01:20:02,097 --> 01:20:06,301
Think about how quick Tony D
had a kick under the jaw.

1240
01:20:06,368 --> 01:20:09,004
-[Book] Not just that big.
-[Vic] And then picked him up.

1241
01:20:09,070 --> 01:20:14,309
[Book] Tony D's about 260 pounds as well.
Come on, man.

1242
01:20:15,544 --> 01:20:20,248
[Vic] D'Angelo continuing to fight.
We've seen The Don do this in the past.

1243
01:20:20,315 --> 01:20:23,618
Think about Stand & Deliver
when the NXT Title is on the line.

1244
01:20:23,685 --> 01:20:26,454
Not staying down
to someone like Ilja Dragunov.

1245
01:20:26,521 --> 01:20:28,123
Now right back in center of the ring.

1246
01:20:28,190 --> 01:20:31,760
And in the words of Booker T,
he's throwing some hands.

1247
01:20:31,827 --> 01:20:35,263
[Book] Yes, big boy D's right there.
Trying to go for a belly… No!

1248
01:20:35,330 --> 01:20:37,132
Got caught by the big man.

1249
01:20:37,199 --> 01:20:41,436
[Vic] Nice power. We can keep saying it,
because it's so true.

1250
01:20:41,503 --> 01:20:45,307
When it comes to…
How wise is this on one leg?

1251
01:20:45,907 --> 01:20:49,377
Tony got caught

1252
01:20:49,444 --> 01:20:52,214
by Femi. Oba trying to hoist up The Don.

1253
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:57,185
Don trying to block the best he can,
and Tony up and… Whoa!

1254
01:20:57,686 --> 01:21:00,555
The Family out here to our right,

1255
01:21:00,622 --> 01:21:03,892
-trying to coach up.
-[Book] Oh, here we go.

1256
01:21:03,959 --> 01:21:06,127
-[Vic] Trying to help out.
-[Book] Here we go.

1257
01:21:06,194 --> 01:21:09,397
We're in no man's land right now, dog.

1258
01:21:09,464 --> 01:21:11,433
[grunts]

1259
01:21:11,499 --> 01:21:14,903
[Vic] You hear Stacks, the underboss,
yelling to D'Angelo.

1260
01:21:14,970 --> 01:21:17,839
He's going to need everyone
in The Family to try to turn…

1261
01:21:17,906 --> 01:21:20,842
There's a round and he just did.

1262
01:21:20,909 --> 01:21:23,912
[The Family shouting]

1263
01:21:25,480 --> 01:21:27,282
[Vic] Stacks adding fuel.

1264
01:21:27,349 --> 01:21:33,622
Luca, Rizzo, firing up Tony D'Angelo.
And look at Oba Femi.

1265
01:21:33,688 --> 01:21:36,024
How in the hell
do you bounce back up that quick?

1266
01:21:36,091 --> 01:21:37,359
[Book] Oh, he's the guy.

1267
01:21:37,425 --> 01:21:39,327
[Vic] Unbelievable. That shot didn't work.

1268
01:21:39,394 --> 01:21:44,366
We saw it earlier. Overhead
belly to belly. This is The Don's moment.

1269
01:21:44,432 --> 01:21:49,070
[Book] Oh, man. Right there, dog.
Oh, man, by Tony D'Angelo.

1270
01:21:49,137 --> 01:21:53,208
Like I say, Vic, he's going to take it
to you. He's going to go one-on-one.

1271
01:21:53,275 --> 01:21:57,279
It's going to be about
the last man standing here tonight.

1272
01:21:59,214 --> 01:22:02,083
[Vic] Tony has to block out the pain.

1273
01:22:02,784 --> 01:22:07,389
Tony's got to add fuel and right back in.
It doesn't look like a man who's hurt.

1274
01:22:07,455 --> 01:22:12,427
It looks like a man who's ready
to stand toe-to-toe with the ruler of NXT.

1275
01:22:12,494 --> 01:22:13,795
It's The Don of NXT.

1276
01:22:13,862 --> 01:22:16,898
It's for the North American Title
here at No Mercy.

1277
01:22:16,965 --> 01:22:20,135
[Book] You've got to slay the dragon.
Can he slay the big man?

1278
01:22:20,201 --> 01:22:23,271
Can he stop Oba Femi? That's the question.

1279
01:22:23,338 --> 01:22:27,809
Belly to belly. And again,
The Don tossing The Ruler.

1280
01:22:28,743 --> 01:22:31,713
-Can he finally… Can he do it?
-[Book] Fisherman!

1281
01:22:31,780 --> 01:22:35,717
-[Vic] Forget about it! Oh!
-[crowd] One, two…

1282
01:22:36,718 --> 01:22:40,689
[Book] Wow. Oba just slipped out
that side door right there, Vic.

1283
01:22:40,755 --> 01:22:42,691
[Vic] It's all about
the North American Championship.

1284
01:22:42,757 --> 01:22:47,295
You see Stacks, Luca, Rizzo,
The Family here ringside for The Don.

1285
01:22:47,362 --> 01:22:53,935
For Tony D'Angelo, who has been in
a slugfest against the champion Oba Femi,

1286
01:22:54,002 --> 01:22:57,505
-who again powers his way out.
-[Book] Oh, man.

1287
01:23:00,208 --> 01:23:03,445
[Vic] Hoisting up the challenger.
Challenger back on his feet.

1288
01:23:03,511 --> 01:23:07,315
Oh, answered right back with a shot
under the jaw. Here comes D'Angelo.

1289
01:23:07,382 --> 01:23:11,319
If this turns into a slugfest,
who do you got? Powerslam!

1290
01:23:11,386 --> 01:23:13,221
[Book] Yeah!

1291
01:23:13,288 --> 01:23:18,360
Taking it to the street.
Right there is Tony D'Angelo, Vic.

1292
01:23:18,426 --> 01:23:21,730
[Vic] He can take it wherever, he can
go back to his restaurant if he wants.

1293
01:23:21,796 --> 01:23:27,936
Wherever he's taking it, he wants
to take back the North American Title.

1294
01:23:28,003 --> 01:23:31,272
[Book] He's got that second win.
Oh, my God.

1295
01:23:31,339 --> 01:23:34,109
-[Vic] Think about the ankle.
-Come on.

1296
01:23:34,175 --> 01:23:36,544
[Vic] Think about the lower body.

1297
01:23:37,278 --> 01:23:43,485
Tony, you gotta be kidding me.
No one has done this to The Ruler.

1298
01:23:43,551 --> 01:23:47,188
-Is it enough?
-[crowd] One, two…

1299
01:23:47,589 --> 01:23:49,858
[Vic]
Championship match is going to continue.

1300
01:23:49,924 --> 01:23:53,495
[Book] It's gonna take a whole lot more
than that to keep the big man down.

1301
01:23:53,561 --> 01:23:56,431
[Vic] You talked about
the weight of Tony D'Angelo.

1302
01:23:56,498 --> 01:24:01,302
Talked about the weight of Oba Femi.
280, 285.

1303
01:24:02,337 --> 01:24:04,939
-[Book] Oba Femi, 300 pounds.
-[Vic] 300 pounds.

1304
01:24:05,006 --> 01:24:07,609
[Book]
Six foot six inches tall. He's a big man.

1305
01:24:07,675 --> 01:24:09,244
[Vic] Whoa, whoa.

1306
01:24:09,310 --> 01:24:12,480
Get your hands off. Get your hands off.

1307
01:24:12,547 --> 01:24:14,049
[shouts from the crowd]

1308
01:24:14,115 --> 01:24:18,353
[Vic] The Family out here.
Where the hell did you get a crowbar?

1309
01:24:23,958 --> 01:24:26,528
[shouts from the crowd]

1310
01:24:28,897 --> 01:24:34,602
[Vic] Oba Femi is wiping out The Family,
but it opened the door for The Don.

1311
01:24:36,571 --> 01:24:40,909
-This is that moment, Book.
-[Book] Yes, indeed. Take advantage of it.

1312
01:24:40,975 --> 01:24:44,546
-Here we go. Oh, my God!
-[Vic] Intensity!

1313
01:24:44,612 --> 01:24:47,749
-[Book] Is that it?
-[Vic] The Don!

1314
01:24:47,816 --> 01:24:50,485
[applause and chatter]

1315
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,255
[Vic] Bam!

1316
01:24:54,322 --> 01:24:57,759
-[Book] Was that the master plan?
-[Vic] Oba Femi is being rocked.

1317
01:24:57,826 --> 01:24:59,461
[Book] Was that the master plan?

1318
01:24:59,527 --> 01:25:02,263
[Vic]
D'Angelo's fighting through the pain.

1319
01:25:02,330 --> 01:25:04,099
Hoisting up Femi one more time.

1320
01:25:04,165 --> 01:25:08,636
I cannot believe what we are seeing
out of Tony D'Angelo tonight.

1321
01:25:08,703 --> 01:25:14,542
And also, Oba Femi, oh,
just tossed D'Angelo like a pizza.

1322
01:25:14,609 --> 01:25:17,679
[Book] God, man. The strength of this man.

1323
01:25:18,079 --> 01:25:22,083
How far can he go, Vic? How far can he go?

1324
01:25:22,951 --> 01:25:27,522
[Vic] And Oba now,
following it up with that massive…

1325
01:25:27,589 --> 01:25:31,793
Oh! He was looking for that powerbomb.
Obviously, D'Angelo had it scouted.

1326
01:25:31,860 --> 01:25:35,130
Both men spilling up and over
to the outside.

1327
01:25:38,266 --> 01:25:42,270
The Family's still down,
much like The Don is right now.

1328
01:25:42,337 --> 01:25:49,344
[Book] Oba Femi's a monster, man.
He's truly a monster, Vic. Oh, God!

1329
01:25:49,577 --> 01:25:55,016
[Vic] If first you don't succeed,
try and try again, Oba Femi, he…

1330
01:25:55,617 --> 01:25:59,420
The Don just kicked out
of Oba Femi's powerbomb.

1331
01:25:59,487 --> 01:26:03,658
-[Book] You gotta be kidding me.
-[Vic] No one's done that before.

1332
01:26:04,125 --> 01:26:06,161
I'm at a loss for words, Book.

1333
01:26:06,227 --> 01:26:09,063
I just took a look at some members
of the NXT Universe.

1334
01:26:09,130 --> 01:26:12,867
-They're just as shocked as us.
-[Book] Oba seems to be searching now.

1335
01:26:12,934 --> 01:26:17,272
Seems like the wheels are turning
in his head. What should I do?

1336
01:26:17,338 --> 01:26:18,840
What's next?

1337
01:26:18,907 --> 01:26:22,944
[Vic] Oba Femi, we said this
earlier tonight with Kelani Jordan,

1338
01:26:23,011 --> 01:26:27,715
going deep into that playbook.
What plays could Oba Femi have left?

1339
01:26:28,716 --> 01:26:31,319
The Don right now.

1340
01:26:31,386 --> 01:26:35,790
I just can't get over how Tony D'Angelo
continuing to fight for that fight.

1341
01:26:35,857 --> 01:26:38,626
[Book] Here we go, one more time.

1342
01:26:38,693 --> 01:26:41,629
[Vic] D'Angelo with a counter. Oh!

1343
01:26:41,696 --> 01:26:45,667
D'Angelo just dominated the champion.

1344
01:26:46,067 --> 01:26:49,137
And he couldn't get into the cover.

1345
01:26:49,204 --> 01:26:52,206
[Book] Yeah, but he's going toe-to-toe.
He's going toe-to-toe.

1346
01:26:52,273 --> 01:26:55,276
[Vic] He couldn't crawl into the cover.

1347
01:26:56,177 --> 01:26:58,980
What is it going to take?

1348
01:27:00,014 --> 01:27:03,685
Oba Femi on the back foot.

1349
01:27:04,786 --> 01:27:07,822
Family rallying. The Don.

1350
01:27:09,991 --> 01:27:12,093
NXT Universe on their feet.

1351
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:18,967
Oh, and like a machine, just continuing
to push, continuing to persevere.

1352
01:27:19,033 --> 01:27:21,903
-[Book] Oh, my God.
-[Vic] Powerbomb, Oba, though,

1353
01:27:21,970 --> 01:27:23,905
I ain't done yet.

1354
01:27:23,972 --> 01:27:27,542
Third time, the charm.
Bam! Sit down style.

1355
01:27:27,609 --> 01:27:32,547
-[crowd] One, two, three!
-[Vic] The Ruler defeats The Don.

1356
01:27:32,614 --> 01:27:34,148
[rock music playing]

1357
01:27:34,215 --> 01:27:36,784
[announcer] Here is your winner,

1358
01:27:36,851 --> 01:27:43,691
and still the NXT North American Champion,

1359
01:27:43,758 --> 01:27:48,863
Oba Femi.

1360
01:27:48,930 --> 01:27:53,601
[Vic] Oba Femi pushed to the deep waters
tonight by The Don.

1361
01:27:53,668 --> 01:27:58,239
Who hit that rib cracking,
bone shattering spear, was not enough.

1362
01:27:58,306 --> 01:28:01,342
Oba Femi, the champion,
was on the back foot, able to kick out.

1363
01:28:01,409 --> 01:28:05,313
Are we talking about kickouts?
Big powerbomb from the champion.

1364
01:28:05,380 --> 01:28:06,748
No one has ever done it.

1365
01:28:06,814 --> 01:28:11,486
But the challenger tonight was able
to kick out of the first powerbomb.

1366
01:28:11,552 --> 01:28:16,658
Same cannot be said for the second
powerbomb, which then the ruler of NXT,

1367
01:28:16,724 --> 01:28:20,295
Oba Femi, knew he needed a little extra,

1368
01:28:20,361 --> 01:28:27,368
and delivered a third massive powerbomb
tonight to retain the North American

1369
01:28:28,303 --> 01:28:33,007
Championship. He is the ruler of NXT.

1370
01:28:33,074 --> 01:28:38,713
He is unconquerable, dominating,
and unbeaten North American Champion,

1371
01:28:38,780 --> 01:28:40,782
Oba Femi.

1372
01:28:44,552 --> 01:28:47,055
[hip hop music playing]

1373
01:28:47,121 --> 01:28:50,124
[music fading out and crowd cheering]

1374
01:28:50,191 --> 01:28:52,694
-What the hell do you want?
-Whoa, whoa.

1375
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:56,264
Look, I'm just here to put you
on notice that tonight I will be calling

1376
01:28:56,331 --> 01:29:00,735
-this match right…
-Down the middle. Yeah, right.

1377
01:29:00,802 --> 01:29:03,905
It's a bigger joke
than you as NXT Champion.

1378
01:29:03,971 --> 01:29:06,741
Nah, forget that. You the joke.

1379
01:29:06,808 --> 01:29:10,011
And tonight you're gonna abide
by my rules.

1380
01:29:10,078 --> 01:29:13,047
Okay, Trick, how about me and you,
we cut through the crap?

1381
01:29:13,114 --> 01:29:15,183
Cause I understand how this is gonna go.

1382
01:29:15,249 --> 01:29:17,485
I have something you want.

1383
01:29:22,023 --> 01:29:26,361
And you can't beat me for it. So you're
gonna do everything in your power

1384
01:29:26,427 --> 01:29:30,565
to make sure Joe Hendry
walks out with this.

1385
01:29:30,631 --> 01:29:34,035
Really, Ethan?
I can't beat you for that right there.

1386
01:29:34,102 --> 01:29:36,371
Come on, it's not about that.
It's not about you.

1387
01:29:36,437 --> 01:29:41,976
It's not about you and Joe Hendry. Right
now it's about you abiding by my rules.

1388
01:29:42,043 --> 01:29:44,278
And if you don't…

1389
01:29:45,279 --> 01:29:47,749
I'm gonna whoop that trick tonight.

1390
01:29:47,815 --> 01:29:50,818
[crowd cheering]

1391
01:29:51,953 --> 01:29:53,721
Zach, a huge win for you tonight.

1392
01:29:53,788 --> 01:29:57,191
You must feel a sense of redemption
beating Wes Lee.

1393
01:29:57,258 --> 01:30:01,863
I am so excited.
I got my hand raised on such a big PLE.

1394
01:30:01,929 --> 01:30:06,601
And yes, I may have won the match,
but I lost a brother in the process.

1395
01:30:06,667 --> 01:30:09,303
But it's time for me
to put my former best friend

1396
01:30:09,370 --> 01:30:13,541
in the rear view and be grateful
for the brother that I have right here.

1397
01:30:13,608 --> 01:30:15,743
You know, true friends
show up no matter what.

1398
01:30:15,810 --> 01:30:18,813
And this man right here
is a real brother through it all.

1399
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:22,049
I love you, bro. I was just doing for you
what you would have done for me.

1400
01:30:22,116 --> 01:30:26,120
Well, now it's time to move from the past,
and look towards the future, bro.

1401
01:30:26,187 --> 01:30:28,723
One thing Zach and I do best,
is we keep moving.

1402
01:30:28,790 --> 01:30:31,559
Tonight we got new Tag Champs
in Nathan and Axiom.

1403
01:30:31,626 --> 01:30:36,631
-Those guys beat MSK a few weeks ago.
-But they've never faced The Rascalz.

1404
01:30:36,697 --> 01:30:43,104
So for Axiom, what do you say?
Accept our challenge? We'll be waiting.

1405
01:30:43,771 --> 01:30:45,873
-Thank you.
-Thank you. Congrats.

1406
01:30:45,940 --> 01:30:47,842
[Vic] Well, no fear from The Rascalz.

1407
01:30:47,909 --> 01:30:52,847
And Jaida Parker has shown no fear
looking at the champion.

1408
01:30:52,914 --> 01:30:56,684
Will the lights be too bright for the
challenger when she takes on The Prodigy,

1409
01:30:56,751 --> 01:30:59,587
our Women's Champion, Roxanne Perez?

1410
01:30:59,654 --> 01:31:01,389
[rock music playing]

1411
01:31:03,024 --> 01:31:05,760
[Roxanne] When I look in the mirror,

1412
01:31:05,827 --> 01:31:10,364
I don't see a villain. I don't see a hero.

1413
01:31:10,431 --> 01:31:13,668
All I see is The Prodigy.

1414
01:31:13,734 --> 01:31:18,473
I am the most decorated woman
in NXT history.

1415
01:31:18,873 --> 01:31:24,979
Breakout Tournament winner, Iron
Survivor winner, Women's Tag Champion,

1416
01:31:25,046 --> 01:31:30,017
your two-time NXT Women's Champion.

1417
01:31:30,084 --> 01:31:33,487
[woman] ♪ Ain't nobody on the planet
Doing it like me ♪

1418
01:31:33,554 --> 01:31:36,457
♪ I always reign supreme
Cause I'm the G-O-A-T ♪

1419
01:31:36,524 --> 01:31:39,227
♪ Nobody can deny I'm the one ♪

1420
01:31:39,293 --> 01:31:43,631
[Roxanne] This NXT Women's Championship
has always been my life.

1421
01:31:43,698 --> 01:31:45,700
It's me and my title against the world.

1422
01:31:45,766 --> 01:31:50,371
And that's fine.
Because as good as these girls are,

1423
01:31:50,438 --> 01:31:52,540
I'm simply better.

1424
01:31:52,607 --> 01:31:54,408
[woman] ♪ All eyes on me ♪

1425
01:31:54,475 --> 01:31:58,079
♪ Look at me, at me ♪

1426
01:31:58,145 --> 01:32:00,648
♪ All drenching glory ♪

1427
01:32:01,816 --> 01:32:04,719
[Roxanne] Whoever you put in line for me,

1428
01:32:04,785 --> 01:32:08,022
I'm always gonna find a way to win.

1429
01:32:08,789 --> 01:32:13,895
Ask Natalya. Ask Jordynne Grace.
Ask Lyra Valkyria.

1430
01:32:13,961 --> 01:32:18,466
Because there is not one woman
that can take this title away from me.

1431
01:32:19,700 --> 01:32:23,337
[Jaida] Roxanne Perez,
you might be a great champion,

1432
01:32:23,404 --> 01:32:27,975
but when it comes to that title,
Jaida Parker got next.

1433
01:32:28,676 --> 01:32:30,778
[Roxanne]
Everybody just always has a story

1434
01:32:30,845 --> 01:32:33,981
when it comes to challenging me
for my championship.

1435
01:32:34,048 --> 01:32:38,819
But those stories always end up
in the exact same way.

1436
01:32:38,886 --> 01:32:45,793
[male announcer] The winner
and still the NXT Women's Champion,

1437
01:32:45,860 --> 01:32:50,831
Roxanne Perez.

1438
01:32:53,968 --> 01:32:56,604
[Roxanne] Ms. Parker, look at you.

1439
01:32:56,671 --> 01:33:00,341
Little less than a year from her debut
to her big title match.

1440
01:33:00,908 --> 01:33:04,045
Confident challenger, you've got it all.

1441
01:33:04,111 --> 01:33:06,747
Except for one thing.

1442
01:33:07,615 --> 01:33:09,250
You're not The Prodigy.

1443
01:33:11,585 --> 01:33:17,291
At No Mercy, I'm gonna prove to everybody
that she was nothing but hype.

1444
01:33:17,825 --> 01:33:20,795
There's no one better than me.

1445
01:33:24,432 --> 01:33:26,667
[crowd cheering]

1446
01:33:26,734 --> 01:33:29,470
Y'all saw what I already know.

1447
01:33:29,537 --> 01:33:33,074
Roxanne is a decorated
Women's Champion, no doubt.

1448
01:33:33,140 --> 01:33:36,043
But after tonight, baby girl,
you can keep your little nickname.

1449
01:33:36,110 --> 01:33:38,312
Because your title is coming home with me.

1450
01:33:38,379 --> 01:33:42,650
Because tonight, Jaida Parker is on point,
and I am ready to be

1451
01:33:42,717 --> 01:33:46,120
the next Women's Champion. Man, let's go.

1452
01:33:46,187 --> 01:33:49,190
-[crowd cheering]
-[suspension music playing]

1453
01:34:08,175 --> 01:34:11,846
[Vic] Book, I want you
to step out of the box for a moment.

1454
01:34:11,912 --> 01:34:14,382
I know how close you are

1455
01:34:14,448 --> 01:34:20,254
to Roxanne Perez. But how is
Jaida Parker different than the rest

1456
01:34:20,321 --> 01:34:23,157
of the names we just heard from Perez?

1457
01:34:23,224 --> 01:34:26,327
[Book] You got to understand,
Jaida Parker's been this thing truly

1458
01:34:26,394 --> 01:34:28,095
for just over a year.

1459
01:34:28,162 --> 01:34:33,634
She's got natural talent, Vic.
And she's still working on that playbook.

1460
01:34:33,701 --> 01:34:37,672
Tonight, we're going to find out
a whole lot about Ms. Parker.

1461
01:34:37,738 --> 01:34:41,976
Is she ready for this moment
under the bright lights?

1462
01:34:42,043 --> 01:34:44,645
[Vic] Glad you brought it up,
yeah, it's been less than a year

1463
01:34:44,712 --> 01:34:46,614
since she made her NXT in-ring debut,

1464
01:34:46,681 --> 01:34:52,186
and she trained with Roxanne Perez once
she arrived at the performance center.

1465
01:34:52,253 --> 01:34:55,256
[dance music playing]

1466
01:35:06,100 --> 01:35:10,271
[Vic] But I will come back to you and say
this. Why do some, including those online,

1467
01:35:10,337 --> 01:35:14,175
continue to doubt
how great The Prodigy is?

1468
01:35:14,241 --> 01:35:17,778
I know you've heard those
that are on podcasts and everything.

1469
01:35:17,845 --> 01:35:21,182
Why do they continue
to doubt our champion?

1470
01:35:21,582 --> 01:35:24,819
[Book] You know,
you talked about the Internet, I mean,

1471
01:35:24,885 --> 01:35:30,291
it's hard to see how great
and how talented Roxanne Perez truly is

1472
01:35:30,357 --> 01:35:32,093
from the outside looking in.

1473
01:35:32,159 --> 01:35:36,430
But up close and personal,
I see nothing but greatness.

1474
01:35:36,497 --> 01:35:40,868
Up close and personal,
I see nothing but the finest,

1475
01:35:40,935 --> 01:35:44,138
as far as NXT goes,
she's like the wind, Vic.

1476
01:35:44,205 --> 01:35:47,074
You can feel her, but you can't touch her.

1477
01:35:47,141 --> 01:35:51,178
-But you know she's there.
-[Vic] Only one woman, Io sky,

1478
01:35:51,245 --> 01:35:56,717
has competed in more premium live events
in NXT than Roxanne Perez.

1479
01:36:01,422 --> 01:36:02,857
[bell ringing]

1480
01:36:02,923 --> 01:36:06,494
[female announcer] The following contest,
scheduled for one fall,

1481
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:13,567
is for the NXT Women's Championship.

1482
01:36:14,368 --> 01:36:16,871
[crowd cheering]

1483
01:36:16,937 --> 01:36:20,274
Introducing first the challenger,

1484
01:36:20,341 --> 01:36:24,044
representing OTM,

1485
01:36:24,111 --> 01:36:29,784
Jaida Parker.

1486
01:36:29,850 --> 01:36:32,353
[crowd cheering]

1487
01:36:32,419 --> 01:36:39,426
And her opponent,
she is the NXT Women's Champion,

1488
01:36:39,894 --> 01:36:46,200
Roxanne Perez.

1489
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:50,838
[Vic] Perez soaking in the spotlight.
And when it comes to the challenger,

1490
01:36:50,905 --> 01:36:53,474
butterflies have to be the size
of the eagles.

1491
01:36:53,541 --> 01:36:55,709
But she has earned this opportunity

1492
01:36:55,776 --> 01:36:58,813
not just by winning
the Gauntlet several weeks ago,

1493
01:36:58,879 --> 01:37:02,149
but also this year, 11-1 is Jaida Parker.

1494
01:37:02,216 --> 01:37:05,052
She's been doing it in the ring,
showing you how far she

1495
01:37:05,119 --> 01:37:09,390
has come since that in-ring debut, again,
less than 12 months ago.

1496
01:37:09,456 --> 01:37:11,792
Now premium live championship match.

1497
01:37:11,859 --> 01:37:14,728
[Book] Under the bright lights,
we talk about those butterflies,

1498
01:37:14,795 --> 01:37:17,765
getting those butterflies to line up
and fly straight.

1499
01:37:17,831 --> 01:37:21,535
That's what Jaida Parker is going to have
to do, because I'm sure she's nervous.

1500
01:37:21,602 --> 01:37:23,737
I'm sure you can't see it on the outside,

1501
01:37:23,804 --> 01:37:28,642
but on the inside, I'm sure she feeling it
just a little bit, just a little bit.

1502
01:37:28,709 --> 01:37:30,978
[Vic] Parker thinks Perez
is underestimating her.

1503
01:37:31,045 --> 01:37:33,180
Would you agree with the challenger?
I mean, you saw

1504
01:37:33,247 --> 01:37:37,084
-the sit down interview this past week.
-[Book] Yeah, I would think so.

1505
01:37:37,151 --> 01:37:39,787
I think she's underestimating her
just a little bit.

1506
01:37:39,853 --> 01:37:44,158
[Vic]
Quick cover of the matchup and a kickout.

1507
01:37:44,225 --> 01:37:46,994
[grunts]

1508
01:37:47,061 --> 01:37:49,897
[Vic] Everything that she
has accomplished this year.

1509
01:37:49,964 --> 01:37:52,266
You take a look at Parker,
who defeated five other women

1510
01:37:52,333 --> 01:37:55,536
two weeks ago, earned this
number one contender opportunity.

1511
01:37:55,603 --> 01:37:59,006
But what sort of emotions
will the stoic challenger be facing

1512
01:37:59,073 --> 01:38:00,374
internally in this match?

1513
01:38:00,441 --> 01:38:03,110
[Book] Of course she's going
through a whole lot internally,

1514
01:38:03,177 --> 01:38:06,280
but because she's in there
with Roxanne Perez, somebody who's

1515
01:38:06,347 --> 01:38:10,751
very decorated, she's a prize fighter.
And that slap, that slap,

1516
01:38:10,818 --> 01:38:13,821
don't think Roxanne Perez
is not thinking about.

1517
01:38:13,888 --> 01:38:17,591
[Vic] Early on, we see this offense
and a nice counter

1518
01:38:17,658 --> 01:38:20,394
-by The Prodigy.
-[Book] Oh, yeah.

1519
01:38:21,862 --> 01:38:23,731
[Vic] Again, things got intense
between these two

1520
01:38:23,797 --> 01:38:25,900
this past Tuesday,
the challengers shocked the champion

1521
01:38:25,966 --> 01:38:29,103
with the slap that was really felt
by the entire locker room.

1522
01:38:29,169 --> 01:38:33,540
It really maybe has set the tone
for the week for the champion, and maybe

1523
01:38:33,607 --> 01:38:37,378
for the challenger as a challenger.
Nice takedown and answering right back.

1524
01:38:37,444 --> 01:38:40,714
And look, Jaida Parker,
she will not be intimidated.

1525
01:38:40,781 --> 01:38:43,784
[Book] Oh, she won't be intimidated.
Oh, my God!

1526
01:38:43,851 --> 01:38:47,888
-Oh, my God!
-[Vic] Talk about that slap. Uh-uh.

1527
01:38:47,955 --> 01:38:50,257
You talked about what,
going to the streets?

1528
01:38:50,324 --> 01:38:53,294
[Book] Just payback, Vic.
That was just a little payback.

1529
01:38:53,360 --> 01:38:59,867
[Vic] Parker now talking, walking,
slapping, and dropping the champion.

1530
01:38:59,933 --> 01:39:02,770
And this might now have just gotten
in the wheelhouse of Jaida Parker.

1531
01:39:02,836 --> 01:39:04,672
And yes, as this match has gone on,
I've looked up

1532
01:39:04,738 --> 01:39:08,409
and I see the tape
that is on the right ribs of Jaida Parker.

1533
01:39:08,475 --> 01:39:10,711
Where is she physically?

1534
01:39:10,778 --> 01:39:14,014
I'm sure she'd be able to block out
that pain to put gold around her waist.

1535
01:39:14,081 --> 01:39:17,117
[Book] Big match, Vic.
This is a big match. And you see this.

1536
01:39:17,184 --> 01:39:21,755
Roxanne Perez is in the drop zone.
Oh, beautiful.

1537
01:39:21,822 --> 01:39:23,891
[Vic] Perez knew exactly what was coming.

1538
01:39:23,958 --> 01:39:27,094
Of course, due to the game
that you've talked about several times.

1539
01:39:27,161 --> 01:39:30,698
Had the challenger scouted right now,
could be baiting in Jaida Parker.

1540
01:39:30,764 --> 01:39:33,600
Perez picking up some steam,
hopping right over Parker.

1541
01:39:33,667 --> 01:39:36,070
Parker back to her feet.
Swings wily with a clothesline.

1542
01:39:36,136 --> 01:39:39,073
Prodigy coming in
and just got planted by Parker.

1543
01:39:39,139 --> 01:39:43,410
[Book] One thing that worries me in this
matchup for Roxanne Perez is the power

1544
01:39:43,477 --> 01:39:47,748
of Jaida Parker, the audacity
that she works with. Oh, my God.

1545
01:39:47,815 --> 01:39:50,718
[Vic] A double underhook suplex
on display. But look at Parker.

1546
01:39:50,784 --> 01:39:52,453
Parker was offensive right there,

1547
01:39:52,519 --> 01:39:55,289
but went right to those ribs
we talked about seconds ago.

1548
01:39:55,356 --> 01:39:59,026
And you know, Perez had to have
seen what we're seeing too, right?

1549
01:39:59,093 --> 01:40:01,395
[Book] Yeah, Perez
just baiting her in right there.

1550
01:40:01,462 --> 01:40:04,999
That's the smarts of the young lady,
Roxanne Perez, The Prodigy.

1551
01:40:05,065 --> 01:40:10,704
-Now she's on the move, Vic. Here we go.
-[Vic] And looking to fly, but got caught.

1552
01:40:10,771 --> 01:40:12,873
Talking about blocking out that pain.

1553
01:40:12,940 --> 01:40:17,044
Jaida Parker said keep your nickname,
because I came to Denver,

1554
01:40:17,111 --> 01:40:21,448
I came to No Mercy to do one thing,
take your title.

1555
01:40:21,515 --> 01:40:24,785
[Book] Let's talk about this.
The strength of Jaida Parker.

1556
01:40:25,619 --> 01:40:28,889
[Vic]
You can still talk about it, but… Oh!

1557
01:40:28,956 --> 01:40:33,961
And I think the point of the steel steps
just caught the damaged ribs,

1558
01:40:34,027 --> 01:40:39,099
the injured area on Jaida Parker. And
if it did before, it certainly did now.

1559
01:40:39,166 --> 01:40:43,937
[Book] Roxanne Perez is literally
operating on another level right now.

1560
01:40:44,004 --> 01:40:46,306
[Vic]
And we've seen Jaida back up her talk.

1561
01:40:46,373 --> 01:40:50,677
We've seen it in a street fight with
Michin, but this is a premium live event.

1562
01:40:50,744 --> 01:40:54,948
This is Roxanne Perez.
This is the NXT Women's Championship.

1563
01:40:55,015 --> 01:40:58,652
And I know Jaida Parker is a driven
competitor, but you can also say

1564
01:40:58,719 --> 01:41:00,454
Roxanne Perez is just as driven.

1565
01:41:00,521 --> 01:41:05,659
And now with a foot in the back
of the spine, the arms don't bend that far

1566
01:41:05,726 --> 01:41:08,095
back, Book. Oh, my God!

1567
01:41:08,162 --> 01:41:11,198
[grunts]

1568
01:41:11,965 --> 01:41:15,669
[Vic] This isn't that bubbly Roxanne Perez
you knew in Houston, Texas.

1569
01:41:15,736 --> 01:41:19,840
[Book] This is beautiful work. I mean,
look at the control of Roxanne Perez.

1570
01:41:19,907 --> 01:41:23,377
Let the referee do his job right there.
Taking her time.

1571
01:41:23,444 --> 01:41:26,847
She'll take the win by countout.
I love this.

1572
01:41:26,914 --> 01:41:29,149
[Vic]
She will also back up everything she says.

1573
01:41:29,216 --> 01:41:34,054
She will do whatever it takes to keep
the NXT Women's Championship.

1574
01:41:34,121 --> 01:41:38,692
There's nothing Roxanne Perez won't do
to keep that gold around her waist.

1575
01:41:38,759 --> 01:41:41,895
The youngest two-time
NXT Women's Champion, third woman

1576
01:41:41,962 --> 01:41:43,997
to ever hold that title more than once.

1577
01:41:44,064 --> 01:41:48,202
We saw the accolades earlier and
right now she's putting it all on display.

1578
01:41:48,268 --> 01:41:50,604
[Book] Oh, you ain't lying, man.

1579
01:41:50,671 --> 01:41:56,343
Right now you talking about Roxanne Perez
flipping the switch. And right now… Oh!

1580
01:41:56,410 --> 01:42:00,481
[Vic] And right back to the gut,
right back to the ribs.

1581
01:42:00,547 --> 01:42:02,416
[grunts]

1582
01:42:02,483 --> 01:42:04,551
[Vic] Into the cover, title on the line.

1583
01:42:04,618 --> 01:42:08,021
Jaida Parker is not going
to go down like that tonight.

1584
01:42:08,088 --> 01:42:10,958
Just took a big gasp of air
to get some air in the lungs.

1585
01:42:11,024 --> 01:42:16,396
After what we've seen, the damage
being done. The NXT Universe is split.

1586
01:42:16,463 --> 01:42:19,500
[crowd chanting]

1587
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:22,569
[Vic] Denver becoming unglued.

1588
01:42:25,539 --> 01:42:30,544
This is why NXT's got the best women's
division in all of professional wrestling.

1589
01:42:30,611 --> 01:42:32,346
[Book] Perez is on another level.

1590
01:42:32,412 --> 01:42:36,550
Like I said, right now,
they keep lining them up and Roxanne Perez

1591
01:42:36,617 --> 01:42:40,587
just keep knocking them down.
She's really that good, man.

1592
01:42:40,654 --> 01:42:43,190
[Vic] Parker now trying to swing wily,
just trying to connect.

1593
01:42:43,257 --> 01:42:45,559
You got to know
she's fighting through the pain.

1594
01:42:45,626 --> 01:42:48,762
Into the cover, title on the line.
And almost that slip brought gold

1595
01:42:48,829 --> 01:42:52,466
to Ms. Parker.
And a drop kick right back to the gut.

1596
01:42:52,933 --> 01:42:55,736
Bullseye on the body of the challenger.

1597
01:42:55,802 --> 01:42:59,039
[Book] You can tell Ms. Parker
has run out of ideas right now.

1598
01:42:59,106 --> 01:43:03,310
Just tried to steal one
from Roxanne Perez, Vic.

1599
01:43:03,377 --> 01:43:04,745
[screams]

1600
01:43:04,811 --> 01:43:10,317
[Vic] And again into the steel.
That cold, unforgiving steel post.

1601
01:43:10,751 --> 01:43:15,556
-Perez continuing to apply the pressure.
-[Book] It's all legal. That's all legal.

1602
01:43:15,622 --> 01:43:18,192
-[Vic] That is not legal.
-[Book] You got five seconds, man.

1603
01:43:18,258 --> 01:43:23,030
You got five seconds right there.
That's all. Come on, man.

1604
01:43:23,096 --> 01:43:25,566
Come on, come on.

1605
01:43:26,333 --> 01:43:28,635
[Vic] Referee stepping in.

1606
01:43:29,236 --> 01:43:31,338
This matchup will continue, to your point,

1607
01:43:31,405 --> 01:43:36,443
she did not cross the five, but into
the cover and a kickout by Jaida Parker.

1608
01:43:36,510 --> 01:43:40,280
The list of names who have tried
but failed to dethrone Perez,

1609
01:43:40,347 --> 01:43:44,885
Breakout Tournament winner Lola Vice,
Rose, Lyra Valkyria, Thea Hail,

1610
01:43:44,952 --> 01:43:47,387
Tatum Paxley, Jordynne Grace,
Chelsea Green.

1611
01:43:47,454 --> 01:43:51,425
-And right now she is punishing Parker.
-[Book] She knows the rules.

1612
01:43:51,491 --> 01:43:55,228
It's called bending the rules, Vic,
but not breaking them.

1613
01:43:55,295 --> 01:43:58,298
That's coming to the line
but not crossing it.

1614
01:43:58,365 --> 01:44:01,368
That's what Roxanne does,
she's smart, man.

1615
01:44:01,435 --> 01:44:06,240
[Vic] It is all about the NXT
Women's Championship on the line

1616
01:44:06,306 --> 01:44:10,811
here at No Mercy. It has been all Roxanne
Perez for the last several minutes.

1617
01:44:10,877 --> 01:44:12,512
But now we'll look
at determination on the face.

1618
01:44:12,579 --> 01:44:17,050
But pinpoint elbow precision
from Roxanne Perez to Parker's ribs.

1619
01:44:17,117 --> 01:44:20,754
[Book] Talk about those ribs at
the dominant stretch. She's locked it in.

1620
01:44:20,821 --> 01:44:26,326
Roxanne Perez has locked it.
She may tap. Jaida Parker may tap.

1621
01:44:28,762 --> 01:44:32,666
[Vic] Look at the welt starting to form
on that already damaged body part.

1622
01:44:32,733 --> 01:44:37,137
-The ribs, the stomach, the back.
-[Book] Big shot.

1623
01:44:37,204 --> 01:44:40,641
[Vic] And again, the NXT Universe
right now trying to rally Jaida Parker.

1624
01:44:40,707 --> 01:44:42,142
Perez firing back.

1625
01:44:42,209 --> 01:44:45,145
And it was Perez who gave Parker credit
during her media this week,

1626
01:44:45,212 --> 01:44:47,247
but said it's not her time yet.

1627
01:44:47,314 --> 01:44:50,617
Parker looking to prove her wrong
with another right hand under the jaw.

1628
01:44:50,684 --> 01:44:53,787
Parker still standing,
but Perez right back to the body.

1629
01:44:53,854 --> 01:44:57,224
[Book] I want to get into a fight,
I don't think with Ms. Parker,

1630
01:44:57,291 --> 01:44:59,559
because like I said,
she's got the strength advantage.

1631
01:44:59,626 --> 01:45:02,095
But Roxanne Perez is so smart, so smart.

1632
01:45:02,162 --> 01:45:05,499
[Vic] But if you're not at a 100 %,
what does the strength advantage

1633
01:45:05,565 --> 01:45:07,768
have to do if her right side of her body
she can't use?

1634
01:45:07,834 --> 01:45:10,203
She really only has the left side
of her power.

1635
01:45:10,270 --> 01:45:12,839
And Perez trying to make that power
even weakened right now.

1636
01:45:12,906 --> 01:45:15,275
[Book]
Parker's the one who said she had next.

1637
01:45:15,342 --> 01:45:18,979
-What are you talking about?
-[Vic] Oh, it paid back, Parker.

1638
01:45:19,046 --> 01:45:23,383
-And now mocking the challenger.
-[Book] Hush them rambling tigers.

1639
01:45:23,450 --> 01:45:24,951
I love it, man.

1640
01:45:25,018 --> 01:45:28,355
[Vic] Said everyone has the same story
when they challenge her,

1641
01:45:28,422 --> 01:45:30,424
it ends the same way.

1642
01:45:30,490 --> 01:45:33,160
Disappointment for the opposition.

1643
01:45:35,329 --> 01:45:37,831
Come on, Rox. What you got, Rox?

1644
01:45:38,532 --> 01:45:41,201
[Vic] Perez still talking smack.

1645
01:45:41,268 --> 01:45:45,972
I don't know, is Roxanne Perez
maybe enjoying punishing Ms. Parker?

1646
01:45:46,039 --> 01:45:50,277
Parker with a catch.
Perez pleading her case.

1647
01:45:50,344 --> 01:45:53,113
But maybe Ms. Parker
has gotten her second,

1648
01:45:53,180 --> 01:45:58,752
maybe her third win, and trying
to hoist up with another power shoot.

1649
01:45:58,819 --> 01:46:02,422
-[Book] Oh, no! Come on.
-[Vic] For the title!

1650
01:46:04,357 --> 01:46:09,696
Near fall on the champion.
At this juncture in the game, though,

1651
01:46:09,763 --> 01:46:13,600
maybe emptying that tank
right there in that moment,

1652
01:46:13,667 --> 01:46:17,938
what is it going to take now
for Parker to beat Perez?

1653
01:46:18,004 --> 01:46:20,874
Everything we've seen tonight, Book,
up to this moment,

1654
01:46:20,941 --> 01:46:25,078
as the NXT Universe on their feet,

1655
01:46:25,145 --> 01:46:28,348
chanting for these two.

1656
01:46:28,415 --> 01:46:31,985
[Book] Parker still clutching at that rib
though, and I'm gonna tell you right now,

1657
01:46:32,052 --> 01:46:35,555
the rib injury is one is hard to get over,
because it's not just a rib,

1658
01:46:35,622 --> 01:46:38,492
it's cartilage. Oh, big shots.

1659
01:46:38,558 --> 01:46:42,596
[Vic] Answering back, not trying
to damage the ribs of the champion.

1660
01:46:42,662 --> 01:46:47,167
Perez right back into it.
She said she's got next.

1661
01:46:47,234 --> 01:46:49,002
[grunts and shouts]

1662
01:46:49,069 --> 01:46:51,338
[Vic] She may just…

1663
01:46:56,343 --> 01:47:00,447
-What's on the mind of the challenger?
-[Book] Big shot right to the ribs.

1664
01:47:00,514 --> 01:47:02,349
[Vic]
Telegraphed it a little bit too much.

1665
01:47:02,415 --> 01:47:06,953
Parker though, spine buster,
falling into the cover.

1666
01:47:07,020 --> 01:47:11,258
-And again.
-[Book] That was so close.

1667
01:47:12,292 --> 01:47:15,228
[Vic] Another near fall in this match
and you got to wonder

1668
01:47:15,295 --> 01:47:20,133
what's going through the mind right now
of the challenger?

1669
01:47:20,667 --> 01:47:22,769
[Book]
I think it's the ribs not being able

1670
01:47:22,836 --> 01:47:25,772
to put enough pressure
on that cover right there.

1671
01:47:25,839 --> 01:47:28,275
[Vic] First championship match,
first time, excuse me,

1672
01:47:28,341 --> 01:47:32,612
for the NXT Women's Championship.
And a one-on-one for Jaida Parker.

1673
01:47:32,679 --> 01:47:37,184
She's earned this opportunity trying
to make the most, but she's not in there

1674
01:47:37,250 --> 01:47:39,219
with someone
who's just an everyday superstar.

1675
01:47:39,286 --> 01:47:42,556
She's in there right now
with the measuring stick of NXT.

1676
01:47:42,622 --> 01:47:47,093
-[Book] She's truly the best right now.
-[Vic] And Parker caught Perez.

1677
01:47:47,894 --> 01:47:53,033
Parker now looking to plant Perez,
and again.

1678
01:47:53,099 --> 01:47:56,536
-[Book] Oh, man.
-[Vic] Right into that lower back.

1679
01:47:56,603 --> 01:47:59,072
This didn't work earlier.

1680
01:47:59,773 --> 01:48:02,609
Will the second time pay off?

1681
01:48:03,343 --> 01:48:06,480
-Oh, oh.
-[referee] Two, three!

1682
01:48:06,546 --> 01:48:09,182
[Vic]
Going to hear that one back in Orlando.

1683
01:48:09,583 --> 01:48:13,220
Ms. Parker, what she doing now?

1684
01:48:13,286 --> 01:48:14,921
[Book] Oh, man.

1685
01:48:14,988 --> 01:48:17,624
[Vic] You said it earlier,
you got to risk it all,

1686
01:48:17,691 --> 01:48:24,431
to get it all.
She's looking for a top rope teardrop!

1687
01:48:24,498 --> 01:48:27,534
[shouts from the crowd]

1688
01:48:29,135 --> 01:48:31,471
-[Vic] For the title.
-[crowd] One, two…

1689
01:48:31,538 --> 01:48:33,240
[screams]

1690
01:48:33,673 --> 01:48:37,477
[Vic] Another near fall and now, boom!

1691
01:48:39,079 --> 01:48:42,249
You got to wonder, Roxanne Perez,
the mentality of the champion.

1692
01:48:42,315 --> 01:48:44,150
Yeah, she's been
in this position before.

1693
01:48:44,217 --> 01:48:47,254
[Book] So much support
for the challenger here tonight.

1694
01:48:48,388 --> 01:48:50,590
[grunts]

1695
01:48:51,091 --> 01:48:55,495
[Vic] Again the ribs, Parker's body
just crumble, you talked about

1696
01:48:55,562 --> 01:48:59,132
-it's not just the ribs, it's the tissue.
-[Book] The cartilage, man, the cartilage.

1697
01:48:59,199 --> 01:49:01,167
It took me about a year
to get over that injury.

1698
01:49:01,234 --> 01:49:05,005
[Vic] Perez now taking that little bit
of opportunity. Saw that door open.

1699
01:49:05,071 --> 01:49:07,173
Trying to kick it in.
Looking for that cross face.

1700
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:10,644
Couldn't get it once. Trying to roll
through, trying at that Russian leg sweep.

1701
01:49:10,710 --> 01:49:13,480
Parker countered. Parker…

1702
01:49:14,347 --> 01:49:17,751
trying to reverse
and she certainly did.

1703
01:49:17,817 --> 01:49:21,955
This could be Parker's golden moment.
You know, OTM's looking on.

1704
01:49:22,022 --> 01:49:26,660
She's looking for that hip…
Shoulder down, shoulder down!

1705
01:49:26,726 --> 01:49:31,998
-[Book] That's so crap, dude. Wow!
-[Vic] Into the cross face now.

1706
01:49:32,065 --> 01:49:35,735
What a transition. And remember… Oh!

1707
01:49:35,802 --> 01:49:37,604
Almost into the rings of Saturn!

1708
01:49:37,671 --> 01:49:41,308
Got her elbows into that injured ribs,
into that injured midsection.

1709
01:49:41,374 --> 01:49:46,046
-[Book] Let me tell you something.
-[Vic] Parker, is she going to tap?

1710
01:49:46,112 --> 01:49:48,548
-[Book] Oh.
-[Vic] Trying to fight.

1711
01:49:48,615 --> 01:49:53,420
We're going to learn a lot about
Ms. Parker right now in this moment.

1712
01:49:53,486 --> 01:50:00,493
The determination. Oh, my, the strength.
Oh, my, the determination. Is she the one?

1713
01:50:00,794 --> 01:50:03,830
Ms. Parker, is tonight your time?

1714
01:50:05,732 --> 01:50:07,233
It very well could be.

1715
01:50:07,300 --> 01:50:10,837
Roxanne Perez has to realize right now
she's not in there with anybody.

1716
01:50:10,904 --> 01:50:14,607
She's never been in there
with somebody that's like… Oh!

1717
01:50:15,742 --> 01:50:19,079
But Ms. Parker, you gotta give her credit,
she's shooting her shot.

1718
01:50:19,145 --> 01:50:21,748
She's going for it all.
She's going for broke.

1719
01:50:21,815 --> 01:50:27,387
[Book] Got caught in a bad position.
Could this be it? Oh, my God. So close.

1720
01:50:27,887 --> 01:50:31,324
[Vic] Big kick and we know
what we see followed up.

1721
01:50:32,392 --> 01:50:35,562
Pop rox didn't connect.
Parker now, this is it!

1722
01:50:35,629 --> 01:50:40,000
-[Book] Oh, bad position. Oh!
-[Vic] Hypnotic, but oh.

1723
01:50:41,067 --> 01:50:45,538
Perez, right here in front of us,
the momentum.

1724
01:50:45,605 --> 01:50:48,441
Book, you gotta think, if that was maybe

1725
01:50:48,508 --> 01:50:51,678
another six inches to the left,
to the center of the ring,

1726
01:50:51,745 --> 01:50:53,546
we might have a new champion.

1727
01:50:53,613 --> 01:50:56,916
[Book] I wouldn't say with
the inexperience of Jaida Parker,

1728
01:50:56,983 --> 01:51:01,521
but just caught up in the moment
and wanted to land that pitch. Oh!

1729
01:51:02,689 --> 01:51:05,692
[grunts]

1730
01:51:07,494 --> 01:51:10,864
[Vic]
That might be the moment of the match.

1731
01:51:12,232 --> 01:51:16,403
Perez just saw her championship
flash before her eyes.

1732
01:51:16,469 --> 01:51:20,006
Pop rox right out here on that barricade.

1733
01:51:20,073 --> 01:51:25,612
That's not a table, Booker,
that's not a chair. That is the barricade

1734
01:51:25,679 --> 01:51:29,349
that they just went crashing through,
and by that I mean

1735
01:51:29,416 --> 01:51:33,953
went through and on to that barricade
not once, but twice.

1736
01:51:35,121 --> 01:51:39,559
How the hell is she moving?
The referee's up to five.

1737
01:51:40,193 --> 01:51:42,495
If he gets to ten,

1738
01:51:42,562 --> 01:51:46,299
the title stays with the champion.
Parker's gotta get back in the ring.

1739
01:51:46,366 --> 01:51:49,569
The only way she can win the title
is inside the squared circle.

1740
01:51:49,636 --> 01:51:51,905
-[Book] Oh, man.
-[Vic] Broke the count.

1741
01:51:51,971 --> 01:51:55,742
This match continues,
but maybe not for long.

1742
01:51:57,243 --> 01:52:03,416
Pop rox again,
and Perez reign continues as champion.

1743
01:52:03,483 --> 01:52:06,486
[rock music playing]

1744
01:52:07,654 --> 01:52:09,889
[announcer] Here is your winner,

1745
01:52:09,956 --> 01:52:15,829
and still the NXT Women's Champion,

1746
01:52:15,895 --> 01:52:19,265
Roxanne Perez.

1747
01:52:19,332 --> 01:52:21,568
[Vic] I gotta give it to you, Book.

1748
01:52:21,634 --> 01:52:25,572
She finds a way to get the job done.

1749
01:52:25,638 --> 01:52:30,210
But take nothing away
from Jaida Parker here tonight,

1750
01:52:30,276 --> 01:52:33,713
who went for broke
and then broke the barricade.

1751
01:52:33,780 --> 01:52:37,517
Perez, the veteran,
used it to her advantage.

1752
01:52:37,584 --> 01:52:40,420
You said it earlier,
she didn't break any rules.

1753
01:52:40,487 --> 01:52:42,622
She used the environment to her advantage.

1754
01:52:42,689 --> 01:52:46,893
She got back into the ring
to hit a second pop rox.

1755
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:52,365
But Jaida Parker
proves she belong here in NXT.

1756
01:52:52,465 --> 01:52:53,833
But listen to this.

1757
01:52:53,900 --> 01:52:58,605
Only Asuka now has more premium leather
than victories in the Women's Division

1758
01:52:58,671 --> 01:53:02,509
as the legacy continues to grow
for The Prodigy.

1759
01:53:03,276 --> 01:53:05,645
[shouts from the crowd]

1760
01:53:05,712 --> 01:53:07,313
[Vic] What the…

1761
01:53:07,380 --> 01:53:10,383
[soft music playing]

1762
01:53:18,291 --> 01:53:21,294
[upbeat music playing]

1763
01:53:36,209 --> 01:53:38,945
[Vic] The rumors are true!

1764
01:53:40,980 --> 01:53:43,049
The speculation is over.

1765
01:53:46,219 --> 01:53:50,657
Giulia has arrived in NXT.

1766
01:54:13,847 --> 01:54:16,849
[crowd cheering]

1767
01:54:26,993 --> 01:54:29,662
[Vic] And Book,

1768
01:54:29,729 --> 01:54:36,169
if there's quite possibly anyone
that can keep Perez from more records,

1769
01:54:36,236 --> 01:54:39,072
we could be looking at her.

1770
01:54:49,382 --> 01:54:52,385
[crowd] Giulia, Giulia, Giulia!

1771
01:54:56,389 --> 01:54:58,858
Ava, an eventful night here in Denver.

1772
01:54:58,925 --> 01:55:02,362
But first I have to ask, do you have
a medical update on Mr. Chase?

1773
01:55:02,428 --> 01:55:03,997
Sarah, I wish I knew more.

1774
01:55:04,063 --> 01:55:07,767
Everyone, including myself, is completely
blindsided by what happened tonight.

1775
01:55:07,834 --> 01:55:09,902
I don't know what got into Ridge Holland.

1776
01:55:09,969 --> 01:55:12,138
As for Mr. Chase,
he's still in the hospital.

1777
01:55:12,205 --> 01:55:14,474
He's staying there overnight.
They keep running some tests.

1778
01:55:14,540 --> 01:55:16,643
If I hear anything else,
I'll obviously let you know.

1779
01:55:16,709 --> 01:55:18,544
And I'll let everyone else know on social.

1780
01:55:18,611 --> 01:55:23,082
Thanks so much. In light of the new NXT
Tag Team Champions being crowned tonight,

1781
01:55:23,149 --> 01:55:26,052
we've heard from a few Tag Teams
that are fighting for that opportunity,

1782
01:55:26,119 --> 01:55:27,620
for that first title match.

1783
01:55:27,687 --> 01:55:30,556
Yes, I mean, I've seen the videos,
I've seen all the tweets.

1784
01:55:30,623 --> 01:55:34,193
So I decided this Tuesday,
Triple Threat Tag Team match,

1785
01:55:34,260 --> 01:55:36,396
Gallus, Rascalz, Hank and Tank.

1786
01:55:36,462 --> 01:55:39,432
Whoever wins will then face
our new champs on September 10th

1787
01:55:39,499 --> 01:55:41,734
as part of WWE's Week on USA.

1788
01:55:41,801 --> 01:55:45,004
Wow, that's a lot of excitement
leading up to NXT's debut

1789
01:55:45,071 --> 01:55:47,874
-on the CW, which will happen in Chicago.
-Yes.

1790
01:55:47,941 --> 01:55:53,212
Speaking of that, whoever wins the main
event tonight, Joe or Ethan, will defend

1791
01:55:53,279 --> 01:55:56,816
that NXT Championship
as part of our launch show in Chicago.

1792
01:55:56,883 --> 01:56:00,286
Thanks so much, Ava.
The GM with some major news.

1793
01:56:00,353 --> 01:56:03,856
-Vic, Booker, back to you guys.
-[Vic] Well, thank you very much.

1794
01:56:03,923 --> 01:56:05,758
You did hear
from our general manager, Ava.

1795
01:56:05,825 --> 01:56:08,328
Which of these three teams will rise up?

1796
01:56:08,394 --> 01:56:12,699
A Triple Threat number one contenders
match for the NXT Tag Team Titles

1797
01:56:12,765 --> 01:56:15,802
takes place Tuesday on NXT.

1798
01:56:15,868 --> 01:56:20,707
Also, which of these two superstars
is going to step up as they finally meet

1799
01:56:20,773 --> 01:56:24,544
one-on-one? No more trash talking.
Who walks out victorious?

1800
01:56:24,610 --> 01:56:30,049
Will it be Ora Mensah or Lexis King?
We find out live Tuesday on NXT.

1801
01:56:30,116 --> 01:56:34,921
And this rivalry takes its next step,
as Trick Williams will meet Pete Dunne.

1802
01:56:34,987 --> 01:56:39,392
The Bruiserweight has warned Trick
he may not make it to Tuesday.

1803
01:56:39,459 --> 01:56:45,565
Has Trick figured it out? We're
going to find out in 48 hours on NXT.

1804
01:56:45,631 --> 01:56:51,237
But in a matter of moments, Trick will be
the special guest referee, as Joe Hendry

1805
01:56:51,304 --> 01:56:55,274
looks to make a believer
out of Ethan Page with the NXT Title

1806
01:56:55,341 --> 01:57:00,213
hanging in the balance.
Will the Ego Era continue after No Mercy?

1807
01:57:00,279 --> 01:57:02,348
[rock music playing]

1808
01:57:02,415 --> 01:57:06,552
[Ethan] The Whoop That Era is officially…

1809
01:57:08,221 --> 01:57:09,622
done.

1810
01:57:11,057 --> 01:57:14,694
No! When Ethan Page says it,

1811
01:57:14,761 --> 01:57:16,763
oh, it comes true.

1812
01:57:16,829 --> 01:57:18,598
Six weeks,

1813
01:57:18,664 --> 01:57:23,803
that's all it took Ethan Page
to absolutely take over this entire brand.

in the world, is here right now.

you're hanging around NXT.

[Joe] Two months ago,
no one in their wildest dreams

1836
01:58:40,379 --> 01:58:44,717
would have thought it'd be possible for
Joe Hendry to challenge for the NXT Title.

1837
01:58:44,784 --> 01:58:50,223
And I'll make sure that none
of these outsiders come to NXT and ruin

1838

Oh, yeah, man.

1873
02:00:57,750 --> 02:01:01,187
That's Trick. He's the ref tonight.

1874
02:01:04,690 --> 02:01:11,497
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome your special guest referee,

1875
02:01:11,564 --> 02:01:14,867
Trick Williams.

1876
02:01:14,934 --> 02:01:18,104
[Vic] What was the giveaway there,
detective? The referee shirt he had on?

1877
02:01:18,170 --> 02:01:22,675
You know, all joking aside, is Trick
going to call this down the middle?

1878
02:01:22,742 --> 02:01:23,943
I think he will.

1879
02:01:24,010 --> 02:01:26,412
[Book] I think Trick
is going to call it down the middle,

1880
02:01:26,479 --> 02:01:28,714
but I don't think Trick
should be in the ring tonight.

1881
02:01:28,781 --> 02:01:33,286
This is business
that should not concern Trick Williams.

1882
02:01:33,352 --> 02:01:36,255
[Vic] Hey, it was Ava, general manager…
[Book] I get it, I get it.

1883
02:01:36,322 --> 02:01:39,992
[Vic] Well, I mean, there's a lot
on his mind. Pete Dunne, the NXT Title.

1884
02:01:40,059 --> 02:01:44,530
His job is to be impartial,
but can Trick keep his emotions in check?

1885
02:01:44,597 --> 02:01:49,502
I mean, he holds the fate
of the NXT Championship in his hands.

1886
02:01:49,568 --> 02:01:54,840
[Book] Vic, Trick Williams
lost to Ethan Page fair and square.

1887
02:01:54,907 --> 02:01:57,443
-You can't be mad at that.
-[Vic] I'm not mad at that.

1888
02:01:57,510 --> 02:01:59,745
I just asked you a simple question.

[rock music playing]

1896
02:02:34,480 --> 02:02:38,250
[Vic] He's been on a self-described
ten year odyssey.

1897
02:02:38,317 --> 02:02:42,088
Called tonight
the biggest opportunity of his career.

1898
02:02:42,154 --> 02:02:45,524
It's hard to argue,
but we also know that if he wins,

1899
02:02:45,591 --> 02:02:49,862
he's promised Trick Williams
an opportunity at the title.

[Joe Hendry's song playing]

1901
02:02:55,835 --> 02:02:59,171
[Vic] What a scene this is here in Denver.

1902
02:02:59,238 --> 02:03:02,441
And think about this, Book,

1903
02:03:02,508 --> 02:03:06,879
will Joe Hendry test the limits
with Trick Williams tonight?

1904
02:03:06,946 --> 02:03:11,317
Will he see just how far he can
push Trick, knowing that if he wins,

1905
02:03:11,384 --> 02:03:14,253
-Trick gets a title opportunity?
-[Book] I think Joe Hendry's in this,

1906
02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:17,556
he's got a shot, Vic.
He's got a shot at glory.

1907
02:03:17,623 --> 02:03:21,894
He's got a shot at the NXT Championship,
he's focused and he's ready

1908
02:03:21,961 --> 02:03:24,964
for this moment, that's what I believe.

1909
02:03:33,339 --> 02:03:37,977
Enough with the silly song
and obnoxious chants.

1910
02:03:38,043 --> 02:03:43,983
The face of this brand and your
NXT Champion, All Ego Ethan Page,

1911
02:03:44,049 --> 02:03:48,554
he's gonna do exactly what he does best.

1912
02:03:48,621 --> 02:03:51,624
Win. Hit my music.

[Book]
…when I kill him with a smile, yeah.

1915
02:04:10,342 --> 02:04:13,379
[Vic] You talked about that referee shirt
minding his own business

1916
02:04:13,446 --> 02:04:16,949
when it comes to Trick Williams,
the champion, Ethan page,

1917
02:04:17,016 --> 02:04:20,986
has no one to blame but himself
for Trick being the special guest referee.

1918
02:04:21,053 --> 02:04:23,322
-[Book] You can say that.
-[Vic] Put his hand on the official.

1919
02:04:23,389 --> 02:04:25,424
Pulled the official out of the ring.

1920
02:04:25,491 --> 02:04:28,594
[Book] What's that got to do
with Trick Williams being…

1921
02:04:28,661 --> 02:04:31,797
[Vic]
He's the only one who can contain this.

1922
02:04:31,864 --> 02:04:35,000
[Book] They don't have a senior referee.
Come on, Vic.

1923
02:04:35,067 --> 02:04:37,603
You know better than that.

1924
02:04:37,670 --> 02:04:40,606
[Vic] I know that
the general manager's rule is final.

1925
02:04:40,673 --> 02:04:43,843
You were the general manager
at SmackDown once before.

1926
02:04:43,909 --> 02:04:47,580
No one remembers it, because you
couldn't do the job like Ava can.

1927
02:04:47,646 --> 02:04:51,650
[Book] I did a fairly good job.
I did a fairly good job, I'll say that.

1928
02:04:59,491 --> 02:05:00,926
[bell ringing]

1929
02:05:00,993 --> 02:05:04,430
[announcer] The following contest,
scheduled for one fall,

1930
02:05:04,496 --> 02:05:11,504
is for the NXT Championship.

1933
02:05:17,176 --> 02:05:20,679
Joe Hendry.

[announcer] And his opponent,

1936
02:05:29,221 --> 02:05:35,694
he is the NXT Champion,

1937
02:05:35,761 --> 02:05:42,768
"All Ego" Ethan Page.

1938
02:05:43,469 --> 02:05:46,472
[crowd cheering and booing]

1939
02:05:50,309 --> 02:05:53,045
[Vic] History is here.

[crowd chanting]

1941
02:06:03,322 --> 02:06:07,359
[Vic] And you are defined sometimes
in your life by one singular event.

1942
02:06:07,426 --> 02:06:11,497
Which of these men are gonna look back
on tonight as that?

1943
02:06:13,399 --> 02:06:14,400
[bell ringing]

1944
02:06:14,500 --> 02:06:17,570
[Vic]
This one's official, underway, here we go.

1945
02:06:17,636 --> 02:06:19,838
The main event of No Mercy.

1946
02:06:19,905 --> 02:06:24,009
[Book] Call it down the middle.
That's all I need you to do, son.

1947
02:06:24,076 --> 02:06:27,079
[shouts and chants from the crowd]

1948
02:06:46,031 --> 02:06:49,835
[Vic] Yesterday, I had a chance to
sit down with Ethan Page and I asked him,

1949
02:06:49,902 --> 02:06:53,973
how are you gonna contain your emotions
when you have part of the NXT Universe

1950
02:06:54,039 --> 02:06:57,376
saying we believe in the other half,
saying whoop that trick?

1951
02:06:57,443 --> 02:06:59,411
He said he's gonna be able
to block everything out.

1952
02:06:59,478 --> 02:07:01,180
Do you think
he's gonna be able to do that?

1953
02:07:01,246 --> 02:07:03,816
[Book] It's gonna be hard,
he told me, and I heard him,

1954
02:07:03,882 --> 02:07:07,820
go do the job, man.
Do the job and do the job well.

1955
02:07:07,886 --> 02:07:11,056
Three, four.

1956
02:07:11,123 --> 02:07:12,124
[Vic] Well, there…

1957
02:07:12,191 --> 02:07:13,826
Back it up. Get out of the corner.

1958
02:07:13,892 --> 02:07:15,461
-[Book] I like that.
-Get your hands off me!

1959
02:07:15,527 --> 02:07:17,563
I'm the ref, let's go.

1960
02:07:17,629 --> 02:07:20,065
[Vic] Page, if you don't listen,
you'll be disqualified.

1961
02:07:20,132 --> 02:07:23,068
Trick Williams' doing
what he's set out to do.

1962
02:07:23,135 --> 02:07:26,572
Be the official,
call this down the middle.

1963
02:07:28,273 --> 02:07:31,710
Feeling out process
early on in this matchup.

1964
02:07:31,777 --> 02:07:34,179
And now Joe Hendry the aggressor.

1965
02:07:34,246 --> 02:07:37,383
Backing Page up into the corner.
The title on the line.

1966
02:07:37,449 --> 02:07:40,152
[Book] Come on, ref, let them fight.

1967
02:07:40,219 --> 02:07:44,556
[Vic] No, he just…
He did the exact same thing to Page

1968
02:07:44,623 --> 02:07:47,693
that he did to Hendry, vice versa.
He's calling it down the middle, Book.

1969
02:07:47,760 --> 02:07:50,095
[Book] Alright, okay. You can say that.

1970
02:07:50,162 --> 02:07:54,600
[Vic] First time a contracted TNA wrestler
has main event at WWE premium live event.

1971
02:07:54,666 --> 02:07:58,337
The first time a TNA wrestler has competed
for the NXT Title

1972
02:07:58,404 --> 02:08:00,339
this, of course, is history making moment.

1973
02:08:00,406 --> 02:08:04,043
We saw a TNA wrestler victorious earlier
in Zachary Wentz.

1974
02:08:04,109 --> 02:08:07,312
Can Hendry follow suit
and bring along the NXT Title?

1975
02:08:07,379 --> 02:08:10,349
[Book]
If Joe Hendry wins this NXT Championship,

1976
02:08:10,416 --> 02:08:14,887
he can just take off
and ride off into the sunset, man.

1977
02:08:14,953 --> 02:08:17,389
[crowd] We believe, we believe!

1978
02:08:19,124 --> 02:08:21,427
[Vic]
No doubt Denver believes here tonight.

1979
02:08:21,493 --> 02:08:25,664
For all the Ethan Pages of the world
that don't like Hendry,

1980
02:08:25,731 --> 02:08:29,668
don't like the songs, don't like
the concerts, don't like the journey…

1981
02:08:29,735 --> 02:08:32,638
You know what Joe Hendry
has done throughout his career?

1982
02:08:32,705 --> 02:08:35,708
He's killed them with a smile.

1983
02:08:36,141 --> 02:08:38,210
[Book] I'm not gonna even answer that.

1984
02:08:38,277 --> 02:08:40,179
[Vic] You liked that one, didn't you?

1985
02:08:40,245 --> 02:08:42,614
Why don't you believe in Joe Hendry?

1986
02:08:42,681 --> 02:08:44,817
[Book] It's not that I don't believe
in Joe Hendry.

1987
02:08:44,883 --> 02:08:48,220
Ethan Page is a guy who worked real hard
to get a contract.

1988
02:08:48,287 --> 02:08:51,590
Joe Hendry, is he working
on a handshake deal or what?

1989
02:08:51,657 --> 02:08:55,627
[Vic] It's not my call. Are you telling me
that you believe in Ethan Page

1990
02:08:55,694 --> 02:08:57,996
more than you believe in Joe Hendry?

1991
02:08:58,063 --> 02:09:02,134
[Book] I like Ethan Page.
I like to say that Ethan Page

1992
02:09:02,234 --> 02:09:05,971
has done some great work
since showing up here and in NXT.

1993
02:09:06,038 --> 02:09:10,242
Put everybody in that locker room
on notice and became the champion

1994
02:09:10,309 --> 02:09:13,145
at a quick, quick pace.
You got to love that.

1995
02:09:13,212 --> 02:09:17,816
[Vic] It's Hendry who's driven by passion,
Page who's driven by feeding his own ego.

1996
02:09:17,883 --> 02:09:19,685
[Book] What are you talking about?

1997
02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:22,488
[grunts]

1998
02:09:22,554 --> 02:09:24,590
[Vic]
It was Hendry who said that if he wins,

1999
02:09:24,656 --> 02:09:27,893
Trick will get the first opportunity
at the NXT Title.

2000
02:09:27,960 --> 02:09:31,330
Ethan Page told me he smells collusion
when he hears that.

2001
02:09:31,396 --> 02:09:33,999
So you obviously agree with the champion.

2002
02:09:34,066 --> 02:09:35,567
[Book] That's a horrible thing.

2003
02:09:35,634 --> 02:09:38,670
I believe in what Ethan Page
is talking about.

2004
02:09:38,737 --> 02:09:41,039
That shouldn't be happening,
you shouldn't be making deals

2005
02:09:41,106 --> 02:09:42,374
before you win a championship.

2006
02:09:42,441 --> 02:09:44,576
[Vic] Oh we're going to get a test here.

2007
02:09:45,444 --> 02:09:48,447
Hendry now backing out from Page.

2008
02:09:51,116 --> 02:09:53,051
-Oh!
-[Book] Big shot!

2009
02:09:55,354 --> 02:09:59,158
[Vic] And speaking of big shots!
What about the bulldozer?

2010
02:09:59,224 --> 02:10:01,226
[Book] He's tapping now.

2011
02:10:02,594 --> 02:10:06,865
[Vic] The extra pressure maybe
put on both superstars earlier today…

2012
02:10:06,932 --> 02:10:09,902
[Book] Oh, baby! Oh, baby!

2013
02:10:09,968 --> 02:10:12,404
[Vic] Ava…

2014
02:10:12,471 --> 02:10:15,240
[Book] Letting the blood
rush to the head right there.

2015
02:10:15,307 --> 02:10:17,943
[Vic] Unbelievable power and strength.

2016
02:10:18,010 --> 02:10:21,547
[Book]
He's playing to the crowd right now.

2017
02:10:21,613 --> 02:10:24,616
He's playing… Oh, beautiful.

2018
02:10:26,084 --> 02:10:28,754
[Vic] Title on the line.
Trick in great position,

2019
02:10:28,821 --> 02:10:31,323
and a kickout.

2020
02:10:31,390 --> 02:10:36,528
Talked about Ava, she said the winner
of this matchup will defend…

2021
02:10:36,595 --> 02:10:38,497
[Book]
Another big shot there by Joe Hendry.

2022
02:10:38,564 --> 02:10:42,935
[Vic] Will defend the NXT Championship
on the CW premiere.

2023
02:10:43,001 --> 02:10:47,372
Just a few weeks away,
in Chicago, October the 1st.

2024
02:10:47,439 --> 02:10:50,576
Hendry, coming in, going up, going over,
shoulders down one more time.

2025
02:10:50,642 --> 02:10:52,744
Trick again in position.
Another near fall.

2026
02:10:52,811 --> 02:10:55,948
Back to his feet is Page,
back down to the mat.

2027
02:10:56,014 --> 02:10:59,151
Hendry back on top,
another count, another kickout.

2028
02:10:59,218 --> 02:11:01,386
-[Book] Oh!
-[Vic] Oh!

2029
02:11:01,453 --> 02:11:04,456
-[Book] This is what I'm talking about.
-[Vic] How wise of Ethan Page.

2030
02:11:04,523 --> 02:11:07,826
[Book] All Ego taking it to the streets
right now, that's what I'm talking about.

2031
02:11:07,893 --> 02:11:11,029
[Vic]
Page dropped Hendry, and then pounced.

2032
02:11:11,830 --> 02:11:15,267
[Book] Round and pound here by Ethan Page.

2033
02:11:15,334 --> 02:11:17,502
[Vic] Talked to our general manager
a few times tonight,

2034
02:11:17,569 --> 02:11:20,939
it was often Ethan Page who said
that the number one job of Ava

2035
02:11:21,006 --> 02:11:25,043
is to take care of the champion.
Tonight isn't fair.

2036
02:11:25,544 --> 02:11:28,513
Believes everything is against him,
and you can add…

2037
02:11:28,580 --> 02:11:30,749
[Book] Look at Ego.

2038
02:11:30,816 --> 02:11:31,984
[crowd booing]

2039
02:11:32,050 --> 02:11:34,887
[Book] Ego's looking great right now, Vic.

2040
02:11:34,953 --> 02:11:37,956
He's in great shape as well.

2041
02:11:39,558 --> 02:11:42,394
[Vic] NXT Championship on the line.

2042
02:11:42,461 --> 02:11:45,697
Oh! Page just got dropped again
by the challenger.

2043
02:11:45,764 --> 02:11:47,065
[Book] Big shot by Hendry.

2044
02:11:47,132 --> 02:11:48,834
[Vic]
Sounds like you're starting to believe.

2045
02:11:48,901 --> 02:11:51,503
[Book]
This is a hell of a championship match.

2046
02:11:51,570 --> 02:11:54,006
[Vic] A hell of a night here at No Mercy.

2047
02:11:54,072 --> 02:11:56,174
New champions have been crowned.

2048
02:11:56,241 --> 02:12:01,313
Superstars have stood up and stood out,
like Jaida Parker.

2049
02:12:01,380 --> 02:12:05,517
Who will stand up?
Who will hold up the NXT Title

2050
02:12:05,584 --> 02:12:07,853
by the end of tonight?

2051
02:12:07,920 --> 02:12:11,690
[Book] You see that right there?
Ethan page closed the distance beautiful

2052
02:12:11,757 --> 02:12:14,226
on Joe Hendry to land that back elbow.

2053
02:12:14,293 --> 02:12:17,929
[Vic] I wanna say this too,
because you always call me a hater.

2054
02:12:17,996 --> 02:12:23,101
Can you name someone, I can't in recent
memory, who's taken over a brands

2055
02:12:23,168 --> 02:12:24,469
like Ethan Page?

2056
02:12:24,536 --> 02:12:27,306
[Book] I don't think
Ethan Page's taking over the brand.

2057
02:12:27,372 --> 02:12:29,074
But he shook it up.

2058
02:12:29,141 --> 02:12:33,045
Everybody in the locker room
was getting lazy, getting comfortable,

2059
02:12:33,111 --> 02:12:36,581
and Ethan Page just slipped in
the back door, and now he's a champion.

2060
02:12:36,648 --> 02:12:39,618
[Vic] Third straight premium live event.

2061
02:12:39,685 --> 02:12:43,055
Fastest to debut and win the NXT Title,
did it in just 40 days.

2062
02:12:43,121 --> 02:12:45,624
Right now he's got
a submission cinched in.

2063
02:12:45,691 --> 02:12:48,960
And it's Joe Hendry trying to overpower.

2064
02:12:49,027 --> 02:12:51,363
And look at Page,
Page has his hands locked.

2065
02:12:51,430 --> 02:12:56,201
Hendry able to break with another suplex.

2066
02:12:57,436 --> 02:13:00,739
-Do you believe?
-[Book] I'm believing.

2067
02:13:00,806 --> 02:13:02,708
I'm believing, Vic.

2068
02:13:02,774 --> 02:13:06,611
[Vic] It was Hendry you heard
Ethan Page call him an outsider.

2069
02:13:06,678 --> 02:13:10,415
Which is interesting, because Ethan Page
was the original outsider

2070
02:13:10,482 --> 02:13:13,385
earlier this summer.
Williams got out of the way.

2071
02:13:13,452 --> 02:13:17,556
-And Page ate the steel.
-[Book] Page just planted it right there.

2072
02:13:17,622 --> 02:13:21,560
[Vic] And Page answered right back. These
two are bringing out the heavy artillery.

2073
02:13:21,626 --> 02:13:24,596
-Into the cover, hook of the leg.
-[crowd] One, two…

2074
02:13:24,663 --> 02:13:27,132
[Vic]
That right shoulder getting of the mat.

2075
02:13:27,199 --> 02:13:30,402
-[Trick] That was two.
-Are you kidding?

2076
02:13:30,469 --> 02:13:32,104
[Trick] That was two.

2077
02:13:32,170 --> 02:13:35,307
[Vic] Ethan Page didn't seem to like the
count. You didn't have a problem with it?

2078
02:13:35,374 --> 02:13:38,377
[Book] That was a good count.

2079
02:13:39,077 --> 02:13:42,080
[crowd chanting]

2080
02:13:46,651 --> 02:13:50,422
[Vic] NXT Universe referencing
the latest single from Joe Hendry

2081
02:13:50,489 --> 02:13:53,191
from this past Tuesday.

2082
02:13:53,258 --> 02:13:55,694
[Book] What are you talking about?

2083
02:13:55,761 --> 02:13:58,930
[Vic] You know what I'm talking about. You
sat in the same seat this past Tuesday.

2084
02:13:58,997 --> 02:14:01,833
I'm not gonna repeat the song.
You know what I was talking about.

2085
02:14:01,900 --> 02:14:05,537
We got to focus on the task at hand.
Page has done what he told me he would do.

2086
02:14:05,604 --> 02:14:08,807
He's blocking out the NXT Universe
to the highest of hos ability.

2087
02:14:08,874 --> 02:14:11,376
[Book] We're in the high rent district
right now, though, Vic.

2088
02:14:11,443 --> 02:14:14,279
[Vic] Could be looking for his own version
of a superplex.

2089
02:14:14,346 --> 02:14:20,218
But Hendry could be looking for
a super standing ovation, Page.

2090
02:14:20,285 --> 02:14:22,954
[Book] That could have been it right there
for Ethan Page.

2091
02:14:23,021 --> 02:14:28,493
[Vic] Page doing his best to try to block.
What the… What's Ethan…

2092
02:14:29,361 --> 02:14:33,665
What's Page trying to do?
Is he looking for a powerslam?

2093
02:14:33,732 --> 02:14:36,334
No way. Oh!

2094
02:14:36,401 --> 02:14:41,540
Page got all of the powerslam
into the cover to retain! Oh.

2095
02:14:42,641 --> 02:14:45,377
[Book] I don't know…

2096
02:14:45,444 --> 02:14:48,113
[Vic] Bam! I don't know if we're gonna see
the count the entire way through

2097
02:14:48,180 --> 02:14:50,782
on this picture-in-picture replay.

2098
02:14:50,849 --> 02:14:53,351
Nice job by our crew back in the truck.

2099
02:14:53,418 --> 02:14:56,455
[Book] I thought Trick could have made
that three-count, I don't know.

2100
02:14:56,521 --> 02:14:58,390
[Vic] Now you're
Monday morning quarterbacking it.

2101
02:14:58,457 --> 02:15:02,761
You just said it was good, now you're
saying it's bad, it was the same count.

2102
02:15:02,828 --> 02:15:05,831
[crowd chanting]

2103
02:15:08,433 --> 02:15:11,470
[Vic] Now the NXT Universe
chants "whoop that trick".

2104
02:15:11,536 --> 02:15:14,206
And that is bruising the ego
of the champion.

2105
02:15:14,272 --> 02:15:18,777
[Book] Look at the eyes of Ethan Page
right now. Oh, yeah.

2106
02:15:18,844 --> 02:15:21,847
He just called it,
he just called his shot.

2107
02:15:21,913 --> 02:15:24,816
[Vic]
Page called the challenger undeserving.

2108
02:15:24,883 --> 02:15:26,785
And it's Hendry popped right back up.

2109
02:15:26,852 --> 02:15:31,857
Can you imagine what would happen
to his ego if Ethan Page suffered defeat

2110
02:15:31,923 --> 02:15:35,093
-here tonight?
-[Book] Wow!

2111
02:15:35,160 --> 02:15:39,498
-Big shot by Hendry.
-[Vic] But look how wise of Ethan Page.

2112
02:15:39,564 --> 02:15:42,334
[Book]
Page just made a lot of space right there.

2113
02:15:42,400 --> 02:15:44,870
[Vic] Certainly did.

2114
02:15:44,936 --> 02:15:47,939
[shouts and chatter from the crowd]

2115
02:15:49,374 --> 02:15:51,376
[Book] They believe!

2116
02:15:54,946 --> 02:15:58,583
[Vic] Hendry telling Trick,
"Get out of the way!"

2117
02:16:01,152 --> 02:16:03,588
[Book] He' smelling it.

2118
02:16:03,655 --> 02:16:05,357
[Vic] Joe Hendry is rolling right now.

2119
02:16:05,423 --> 02:16:09,094
But he's got to remember,
all this high offense, it's all impactful.

2120
02:16:09,161 --> 02:16:13,565
It's all great. Doing what he needs to do
to stay in control in this matchup.

2121
02:16:13,632 --> 02:16:16,134
But he' got to get Ethan Page
back into the ring.

2122
02:16:16,201 --> 02:16:19,871
It's the only place he can win
the NXT Championship.

2123
02:16:19,938 --> 02:16:25,243
[Book] He's very crafty, Vic.
He's deadly in these positions right here.

2124
02:16:25,310 --> 02:16:31,516
[Vic] No, no, no.
Page with an ego's edge. Spine first.

2125
02:16:33,385 --> 02:16:35,387
Hendry's in trouble.

2126
02:16:37,622 --> 02:16:41,560
And look at Page,
Page's telling Trick to count faster.

2127
02:16:41,626 --> 02:16:43,228
[Book] Tell him to do his damn job!

2128
02:16:43,295 --> 02:16:46,231
[Vic] Damn, how he wins it.
He's gonna retain on a countout.

2129
02:16:46,831 --> 02:16:48,867
Stay down!

2130
02:16:48,934 --> 02:16:54,306
[Vic] Not like this! Trick's up to seven.
Joe Hendry just collapsed.

2131
02:16:54,372 --> 02:16:57,008
He's at eight.
Is he gonna be able to break the count?

2132
02:16:57,075 --> 02:16:58,977
Trick's at nine!

2133
02:16:59,044 --> 02:17:03,448
Trick almost got to ten,
but he didn't quite get there.

2134
02:17:03,515 --> 02:17:05,150
[Book] Come on!

2135
02:17:05,216 --> 02:17:08,587
[Vic] That was close, and once again,
like we saw earlier,

2136
02:17:08,653 --> 02:17:11,256
Ethan Page pouncing on to the challenger.

2137
02:17:11,323 --> 02:17:15,660
[Book] Round and pound right now.
Round and pound, Mark Coleman like.

2138
02:17:15,727 --> 02:17:19,698
[Vic] Talk about this man. Spine first.

2139
02:17:19,764 --> 02:17:23,702
And that certainly would ruin
anyone's night. Whoa, look at this.

2140
02:17:26,605 --> 02:17:29,708
[Book] Stay focused. Stay focused, Ethan.

2141
02:17:29,774 --> 02:17:33,278
[Vic] But Ethan Page be trying to get
to the emotions of Trick Williams.

2142
02:17:33,345 --> 02:17:35,880
Looking for the ego's edge one more time,
couldn't quite get it.

2143
02:17:35,947 --> 02:17:38,450
Joe Hendry now. What's he thinking?

2144
02:17:38,516 --> 02:17:42,320
You got to be kidding me.
Oh, how poetic this could be.

2145
02:17:42,387 --> 02:17:47,859
Imagine the song title book,
ego's edge, All Ego for the title!

2146
02:17:47,926 --> 02:17:51,229
-[Book] Is that it?
-[Vic] No! My…

2147
02:17:51,296 --> 02:17:55,867
[Book] Wow. Ethan's scrambled,
he's scrambled to get out of that one.

2148
02:17:55,934 --> 02:17:59,070
[Vic] Take another… I mean… Boom!

2149
02:17:59,137 --> 02:18:03,875
Pulling out all the stops,
but not quite enough.

2150
02:18:03,942 --> 02:18:06,211
[Book] Trick Williams' calling it
right down the middle, Vic.

2151
02:18:06,278 --> 02:18:09,114
[Vic] He certainly is,
this our main event here in Denver

2152
02:18:09,180 --> 02:18:13,118
of NXT No Mercy for the NXT Championship.

2153
02:18:13,184 --> 02:18:17,622
TNA wrestler Joe Hendry,
All Ego Ethan Page,

2154
02:18:17,689 --> 02:18:22,994
and the special referee, the man Ethan
Page defeated for the NXT Championship,

2155
02:18:23,061 --> 02:18:25,063
that being Trick Williams.

2156
02:18:25,130 --> 02:18:26,798
[Book]
He's doing a hell of a job, I must say.

2157
02:18:26,865 --> 02:18:29,200
[Vic] He certainly is,
and Hendry has told Trick,

2158
02:18:29,267 --> 02:18:33,238
"If I win,
you will get the first opportunity."

2159
02:18:33,305 --> 02:18:36,541
Ethan Page says
he smells collusion all night.

2160
02:18:36,608 --> 02:18:39,944
This though breaking down.

2161
02:18:40,011 --> 02:18:42,480
-And Trick Williams…
-[Book] Oh, wow!

2162
02:18:42,547 --> 02:18:45,050
[Vic] Right down the middle.
But right now, Joe Hendry…

2163
02:18:45,116 --> 02:18:48,119
[Book] Here we go, here we go.

2164
02:18:48,186 --> 02:18:50,322
-[grunts]
-[crowd shouting]

2165
02:18:53,291 --> 02:18:56,528
[crowd cheering]

2166
02:18:57,295 --> 02:18:59,297
[Vic] Denver…

2167
02:19:00,198 --> 02:19:01,666
believing.

2168
02:19:04,869 --> 02:19:08,973
[Book] Oh, here we go.

2169
02:19:11,643 --> 02:19:13,645
They're believing!

2170
02:19:20,385 --> 02:19:23,621
[crowd chanting] We believe!

2171
02:19:24,823 --> 02:19:28,960
[Vic] Looking for the standing ovation!
He got it!

2172
02:19:29,027 --> 02:19:34,899
Believers in Denver, rise to your feet
for the new…

2173
02:19:36,634 --> 02:19:38,670
[Book] Oh!

2174
02:19:48,613 --> 02:19:51,916
[Vic] Trick did his job.
The foot was under the bottom rope.

2175
02:19:51,983 --> 02:19:55,019
Oh! He realized it now.
That was inadvertent.

2176
02:19:55,086 --> 02:19:58,656
Ethan Page from behind. Ethan Page now!

2177
02:19:58,723 --> 02:20:02,394
Standing ovation to Joe Hendry.

2178
02:20:02,460 --> 02:20:05,497
A second official. Come on, not like that.

2179
02:20:05,563 --> 02:20:09,768
He kicked out. Hendry's still fighting.
Hendry's still fighting.

2180
02:20:09,834 --> 02:20:12,670
[Book] Stay on the gas, Ethan.
Stay on the gas.

2181
02:20:12,737 --> 02:20:14,739
You got this, son.

2182
02:20:20,678 --> 02:20:24,115
[Vic] Oh, All Ego.
You talked about him fighting, Book.

2183
02:20:24,182 --> 02:20:25,817
This is the easy way out.

2184
02:20:27,018 --> 02:20:30,488
-[Book] Oh, no!
-[Vic] Hendry's from behind!

2185
02:20:30,555 --> 02:20:33,992
-[Book] Wow.
-[Vic] Another near fall.

2186
02:20:34,058 --> 02:20:37,562
Hendry now. Oh, DDT!

2187
02:20:38,296 --> 02:20:40,799
And I believe Hendry
just bounced off the NXT Title.

2188
02:20:40,865 --> 02:20:42,734
[Book] That's it! That's it!

2189
02:20:42,801 --> 02:20:45,837
-[crowd cheering]
-[Book] What the…

2190
02:21:01,052 --> 02:21:05,256
[Vic] Trick is beside himself!
Page just dropped the second official!

2191
02:21:05,790 --> 02:21:07,559
Oh!

2192
02:21:08,493 --> 02:21:11,162
A low blow! Trick didn't see the low blow!

2193
02:21:11,229 --> 02:21:14,632
-[Book] Oh, baby!
-[Vic] Trick didn't see the low blow!

2194
02:21:14,699 --> 02:21:17,268
Ego's edge!

2195
02:21:17,335 --> 02:21:21,005
-Trick…
-[crowd] One, two, three!

2196
02:21:21,072 --> 02:21:22,740
-[Vic] …did his job.
-[bell ringing]

2197
02:21:22,807 --> 02:21:26,344
-[Vic] And it's Ego over belief.
-[Book] Wow.

2198
02:21:26,411 --> 02:21:32,417
[announcer] Here is your winner,
and still the NXT Champion,

2199
02:21:32,484 --> 02:21:38,923
All Ego Ethan Page.

2200
02:21:38,990 --> 02:21:41,993
[upbeat music playing]

2201
02:21:49,167 --> 02:21:54,873
[Vic] I can't believe the look we just saw
on the face of Ethan Page.

2202
02:21:54,939 --> 02:22:00,378
Looking at Trick Williams, Trick called it
right down the middle. But…

2203
02:22:07,085 --> 02:22:12,757
Ethan Page has just broken the hearts
of the NXT Universe,

2204
02:22:12,824 --> 02:22:16,427
and he did so with a smile.

2205
02:22:19,030 --> 02:22:22,767
Joe Hendry hitting a standing ovation.

2206
02:22:22,834 --> 02:22:25,503
But give Trick credit, he did his job.

2207
02:22:25,570 --> 02:22:28,573
The foot was under the rope,
that called for a break.

2208
02:22:28,640 --> 02:22:31,109
Trick called it down the middle,
inadvertently,

2209
02:22:31,175 --> 02:22:34,979
Ethan Page would wipe Trick out
of the equation for the moment.

2210
02:22:35,046 --> 02:22:39,784
Would hoist up Joe Hendry,
delivering his own standing ovation.

2211
02:22:39,851 --> 02:22:42,954
A second referee would come down.

2212
02:22:43,021 --> 02:22:47,358
One again turning the page on Ethan
was Joe Hendry,

2213
02:22:47,425 --> 02:22:51,663
who saw the NXT Title,
but right here, boom!

2214
02:22:51,729 --> 02:22:54,198
Got DDT on the title.

2215
02:22:54,265 --> 02:22:56,834
That's not cause
for disqualification, folks.

2216
02:22:56,901 --> 02:22:59,404
The referee was in position,
but Trick Williams,

2217
02:22:59,470 --> 02:23:01,105
he was the referee for this match.

2218
02:23:01,172 --> 02:23:03,074
He was the one
who wanted to count to three,

2219
02:23:03,141 --> 02:23:05,009
he was the one
who wanted to make the decision.

2220
02:23:05,076 --> 02:23:08,446
He got in the face of Ethan Page.
Didn't like the contact earlier,

2221
02:23:08,513 --> 02:23:11,349
but inadvertently
knocking out the second official.

2222
02:23:11,416 --> 02:23:15,520
Trick Williams' back was turned,
did not see the low blow,

2223
02:23:15,587 --> 02:23:20,625
but he did see the ego's edge.

2224
02:23:21,526 --> 02:23:26,564
I take a second to compose myself,
because once again,

2225
02:23:26,631 --> 02:23:28,199
Trick did the right thing.

2226
02:23:28,266 --> 02:23:32,203
-[bell ringing]
-[Vic] Ethan Page victorious.

2227
02:23:32,270 --> 02:23:37,408
And now, can Ethan turn the page
on some at NXT?

2228
02:23:37,475 --> 02:23:40,945
Can imagine what's going through
the mind of Trick…

2229
02:23:41,479 --> 02:23:42,880
But…

2230
02:23:42,947 --> 02:23:46,584
That's Pete Dunne! Pete Dunne is here!

2231
02:23:47,618 --> 02:23:50,054
The Bruiserweight!

2232
02:23:50,121 --> 02:23:53,825
With a blind sided attack on Williams.

2233
02:23:53,891 --> 02:23:56,527
[crowd booing]

2234
02:23:57,395 --> 02:24:03,167
[Vic] And Trick's got to figure it out,
because he faces Dunne in just 48 hours.

2235
02:24:03,234 --> 02:24:07,271
And I can't predict what's going
to happen, but I can guarantee you,

2236
02:24:07,338 --> 02:24:09,941
I can guarantee you one thing,

2237
02:24:10,008 --> 02:24:17,015
as Page looks at Dunne,
our champion, Ethan Page and his ego,

2238
02:24:17,749 --> 02:24:22,053
are gonna show no mercy to NXT.
