1
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:04,871
[male announcer] Then…

2
00:00:05,105 --> 00:00:08,174
[rousing music]

3
00:00:08,241 --> 00:00:09,242
now…

4
00:00:14,247 --> 00:00:15,248
forever…

5
00:00:17,817 --> 00:00:20,820
[music intensifies]

6
00:00:23,623 --> 00:00:24,624
together.

7
00:00:25,058 --> 00:00:28,061
[music stops]

8
00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:36,803
[female announcer] NXT Universe,
get ready for a mind blowing night.

9
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:41,307
-[Vic] All hell is breaking loose!
-[Book] It's a fight. I love it.

10
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:43,343
[drums bang]

11
00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:45,178
[announcer] For the first time,

12
00:00:45,245 --> 00:00:50,183
a global sensation brings
her beautiful madness to NXT.

13
00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:55,255
Nobody is gonna tell me
that I am not the number one contender.

14
00:00:56,222 --> 00:01:00,293
[Vic]
Giulia has arrived on a Tuesday night.

15
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:05,298
[female announcer]
The Young OG begins to carve his legacy

16
00:01:05,365 --> 00:01:09,369
while Charlie Dempsey aspires
to maintain his Heritage Cup.

17
00:01:09,436 --> 00:01:13,039
I gave Je'Von a cup match next week,
so get ready, you're in a cup match.

18
00:01:13,873 --> 00:01:17,277
[female announcer]
A familiar face returns to make an impact.

19
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:22,916
For the first time ever, I'll be defending
my TNA Knockouts Championship

20
00:01:22,982 --> 00:01:25,785
in an open challenge match on NXT.

21
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:28,488
[Vic] Huge news from Jordynne Grace.

22
00:01:29,355 --> 00:01:34,427
Duke Hudson is a smug, arrogant [bleep].

23
00:01:35,061 --> 00:01:39,065
[Vic] Ridge Holland, Duke Hudson,
they throw down on NXT.

24
00:01:39,232 --> 00:01:45,738
[female announcer] And in the main event,
which superstar will figure it out?

25
00:01:45,905 --> 00:01:47,140
Trick Williams.

26
00:01:47,207 --> 00:01:49,409
I'm still looking to be
the man here at NXT.

27
00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:50,844
I'll figure your ass out.

28
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:54,314
-[announcer] Pete Dunne.
-[Pete] I'll force you to figure it out.

29
00:01:54,380 --> 00:01:57,617
And tonight he's gonna learn
the lesson of a lifetime.

30
00:01:57,684 --> 00:02:00,286
[female announcer] Last man standing.

31
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:06,125
[Vic] The winner will become number one
contender to the NXT Championship.

32
00:02:08,728 --> 00:02:11,097
I have some unfortunate news.

33
00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:16,736
Due to somewhat conspicuous circumstances,
the rascals are unable to compete.

34
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:22,208
However, Nathan and Axiom
will still defend their NXT tag titles.

35
00:02:22,275 --> 00:02:27,981
And the team that will challenge for those
titles are former NXT Tag Team Champions

36
00:02:28,047 --> 00:02:32,552
and two time WWE Tag Champions
The Street Profits.

37
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:34,554
And that match will kick off NXT.

38
00:02:39,692 --> 00:02:43,296
[Vic] Oh, what a night
it is going to be here on NXT.

39
00:02:43,363 --> 00:02:46,166
And there you see earlier today
the arrival.

40
00:02:46,232 --> 00:02:50,470
Trick Williams for his last man standing
match as he's getting prepared

41
00:02:50,537 --> 00:02:52,305
to take on Pete Dunne.

42
00:02:52,372 --> 00:02:54,173
It is our main event here tonight

43
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,945
and of course the winner of that matchup
will head to Chicago to face Ethan Page.

44
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:01,247
There is international sensation Giulia,

45
00:03:01,314 --> 00:03:03,816
who has her highly anticipated
in-ring debut tonight

46
00:03:03,883 --> 00:03:05,084
against Chelsea Green.

47
00:03:05,151 --> 00:03:08,054
Can't wait to see her, Booker,
in action here live.

48
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:09,856
And there is the Knockouts champion,

49
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:13,359
Jordynne Grace, waiting to see
who will answer her open challenge.

50
00:03:13,426 --> 00:03:19,165
One of three championship matches
tonight live here on NXT.

51
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:22,969
-[upbeat music playing]
-[crowd cheers]

52
00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:26,739
[recording with crowd] Never slow down.

53
00:03:28,174 --> 00:03:31,177
[thunder sounds]

54
00:03:39,786 --> 00:03:40,787
[bell rings]

55
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:43,923
[announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

56
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:48,995
is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

57
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:56,669
Introducing first, they are
the NXT Tag Team Champions,

58
00:03:57,136 --> 00:04:00,607
Nathan Fraser and Axiom.

59
00:04:00,673 --> 00:04:03,943
[Vic] I want to note something.
Trick Williams, after he arrived,

60
00:04:04,010 --> 00:04:07,313
he has been surrounded by security,
as has Pete Dunne.

61
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:11,050
These two have been completely separated
before our main event tonight,

62
00:04:11,117 --> 00:04:14,721
but we're kicking things off
with the NXT tag team titles again.

63
00:04:14,787 --> 00:04:18,791
The first of three championship
matches here tonight.

64
00:04:18,858 --> 00:04:21,561
["Bring the swag" plays]

65
00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:23,997
And Book, let the party begin!

66
00:04:24,063 --> 00:04:25,865
[Book] We're back!

67
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:36,109
[announcer] Introducing the challengers,
a team of Angelo Dawkins

68
00:04:36,175 --> 00:04:41,948
and Montez Ford, The Street Profits.

69
00:04:42,982 --> 00:04:46,019
[Vic]
Challengers from Smackdown here tonight.

70
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:52,091
It was supposed to be Trey Miguel
and Zachary Wentz in this matchup.

71
00:04:52,158 --> 00:04:55,962
They're unable to compete here tonight.
Disappointed to say the least.

72
00:04:56,029 --> 00:04:58,798
They earned
that title opportunity last week.

73
00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:02,335
But our general manager, Ava,
making a great decision,

74
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:08,574
as she does week in and week out,
bringing The Street Profits back to NXT.

75
00:05:08,641 --> 00:05:14,213
[Book] Ava, like Beyoncé,
let me come and play with you.

76
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:17,984
Oh yeah, man. We got The Street Profits.

77
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:20,853
-[Vic] You like The Street Profits?
-[Book] Who doesn't?

78
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,390
[Vic] I don't know. Some people
you're gonna like, and you don't.

79
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:26,526
You didn't like The New Day.
I like them.

80
00:05:26,592 --> 00:05:30,396
[Book] I'm unbiased. You got
to get in there and show me something.

81
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:32,198
[Vic] We'll see how long that lasts.

82
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:35,702
This is WWE week continuing tonight
with NXT on USA.

83
00:05:35,768 --> 00:05:40,440
The first 30 minutes commercial free,
tonight, of NXT.

84
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:46,412
[crowd cheering]

85
00:05:50,717 --> 00:05:55,922
You can feel the love
from the NXT Universe to Dawkins, to Ford.

86
00:05:56,522 --> 00:06:00,426
-[Vic] And if you´re…
-[Book] This is the moment, Vic. Oh, yes.

87
00:06:00,793 --> 00:06:06,165
[crowd chants "Welcome back"]

88
00:06:06,232 --> 00:06:09,268
[Book] Oh yeah,
I've been waiting on this all week.

89
00:06:09,335 --> 00:06:11,671
[Vic] "All week"? We just learned of this.

90
00:06:11,738 --> 00:06:13,673
[Book]
I'm talking about the action.

91
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:16,976
[Vic] Just making sure. I'm trying
to keep you on your toes here.

92
00:06:17,043 --> 00:06:18,911
But I do want to say this, Book…

93
00:06:21,681 --> 00:06:25,618
[crowd chants "We want smoke"]

94
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,822
[Vic] I think the NXT Universe is echoing
your statements. They're ready.

95
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:32,058
They've been waiting patiently
all week long.

96
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:35,628
But the champions are really
going to have to live by their motto,

97
00:06:35,695 --> 00:06:40,400
"Never slow down", when getting ready
to take on Smackdown's Street Profits.

98
00:06:40,466 --> 00:06:43,836
[Book] Oh, man. That's the beauty
of Axiom and Fraser.

99
00:06:43,903 --> 00:06:48,241
Always on the move.
Two times two top NXT tag Team champions.

100
00:06:48,307 --> 00:06:51,077
I don't think we thought
it would happen, but look at 'em.

101
00:06:51,144 --> 00:06:54,147
Big match tonight, though.
Big fight for you.

102
00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:58,818
[crowd cheers]

103
00:06:59,152 --> 00:07:01,120
[Vic] Let's not forget The Street Profits

104
00:07:01,187 --> 00:07:04,791
once held the NXT tag team title
for less than 90 days.

105
00:07:04,857 --> 00:07:07,593
Do you feel there's
maybe some unfinished business

106
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:09,862
if you're the profits coming back to NXT?

107
00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:11,998
[Book] Definitely unfinished business.

108
00:07:12,064 --> 00:07:17,170
Like Ava said, two-time WWE Tag Team
Champion, one time NXT Tag Team Champion.

109
00:07:17,236 --> 00:07:19,572
They want more, man.
They want a whole lot more.

110
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:24,777
[Vic] One of three teams to be
WWE Tag Team Triple Crown champions.

111
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:29,382
The most recent is your other favorite
tag team, The New Day.

112
00:07:29,448 --> 00:07:32,118
[Book] I hate those guys.
Beautiful, beautiful!

113
00:07:32,185 --> 00:07:36,823
-[Vic] Oh wow!
-[Book] Wow. That was different.

114
00:07:36,889 --> 00:07:40,359
[Vic] Talking about winning
the tag team titles less than 90 days,

115
00:07:40,426 --> 00:07:43,930
take a look at Montez Ford.
He's a little bit bigger and thicker.

116
00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:48,067
Said he's put on 50 pounds of muscle
since his NXT days.

117
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:50,503
He said that
in an interview several months ago.

118
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:53,906
[Book] I talked to Montez about that
some time ago as well.

119
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:56,442
He was going to have to beef up
just a little bit

120
00:07:56,509 --> 00:07:59,245
if he wanted to compete
with the top notch.

121
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:01,714
Oh, big shot! Big shot by Angie.

122
00:08:01,781 --> 00:08:05,785
[Vic]
Dawkins just rocked Axiom into a tag.

123
00:08:06,919 --> 00:08:08,287
Oh, he said light work.

124
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:10,556
[Book]
I don't like the mock he's making.

125
00:08:11,023 --> 00:08:14,961
Look at the quickness.
Look at the quickness. Whoa. The hell?

126
00:08:15,795 --> 00:08:19,031
[Vic] Look at Dawkins swinging a miss.
Fraser picking up steam.

127
00:08:19,098 --> 00:08:21,601
Fraser turns it in.
He caught Dawkins, rocked him

128
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,069
and knocked him off the ring.

129
00:08:23,135 --> 00:08:25,371
This is now
where Fraser's in his wheelhouse.

130
00:08:25,438 --> 00:08:27,773
[Book] Dawkins trying to keep up
for a second.

131
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,576
-He got caught behind the eight ball.
-[both] Whoa!

132
00:08:31,043 --> 00:08:32,411
[Vic] Big right hand.

133
00:08:34,614 --> 00:08:37,350
And Dawkins again
showing that athleticism.

134
00:08:37,416 --> 00:08:39,151
A flying elbow connects.

135
00:08:40,019 --> 00:08:46,359
[Book] Angie is sure to be something.
Now keep it down, keep it down. I like it.

136
00:08:46,425 --> 00:08:49,962
[Vic] You know, you feel the energy.
Oh, nice counter by Fraser.

137
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:52,698
There's all that extra excitement
right now in NXT.

138
00:08:52,765 --> 00:08:54,967
With the CW launch
coming on October 1st

139
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:58,337
we could crown ourselves
new NXT Tag Team Champions.

140
00:08:58,404 --> 00:09:02,675
But it's the champions looking to retain.
Dawkins is just able to kick out.

141
00:09:02,742 --> 00:09:04,644
[Book] Oh, Axiom.

142
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:08,681
I said it when I first got to NXT.
This guy's a special, special talent.

143
00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:11,550
And tonight he's gonna have to prove
something special

144
00:09:11,617 --> 00:09:13,953
because he's in there
with the top dog tonight.

145
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:17,790
[Vic] And this is a huge opportunity
for the champions to really step up.

146
00:09:17,857 --> 00:09:20,092
Axiom and Fraser
are able to test themselves

147
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:22,428
with one of the better
tag teams in the WWE.

148
00:09:22,495 --> 00:09:24,997
[Book] You said the right word:
Test themselves.

149
00:09:25,064 --> 00:09:28,134
They'll always be testing themselves,
always be the underdogs

150
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,836
In a matchup against the major players…

151
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:33,239
Here we go!

152
00:09:33,306 --> 00:09:36,175
[Vic] And another kickout.
Look at that combination offense.

153
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:40,446
Two super kicks
off of the half and half German.

154
00:09:40,513 --> 00:09:43,516
This is just Axiom and Fraser
in their wheelhouse now.

155
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,651
Axiom on the back,
looking for a submission.

156
00:09:45,718 --> 00:09:48,287
[Book] Now, there's one thing
about Axiom and Fraser.

157
00:09:48,354 --> 00:09:50,990
Their styles fit each
other perfectly, Vic.

158
00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:54,060
Like twin sons from different mothers.

159
00:09:54,126 --> 00:09:57,063
-You gotta love them, man.
-[Vic] Ford…

160
00:09:58,164 --> 00:10:00,399
desperately wanting back
into this matchup.

161
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:04,337
Dawkins now overpowering Axiom.

162
00:10:04,403 --> 00:10:08,708
But Axiom is so close. I think, again,
his momentum carried him into his corner.

163
00:10:08,774 --> 00:10:10,843
He makes the tag, but so does Dawkins.

164
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:12,912
And in comes Montez Ford.

165
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:15,081
And hen it's Dawkins
and when it's Ford,

166
00:10:15,147 --> 00:10:18,651
they both have showed the ability
to break out on their own.

167
00:10:18,718 --> 00:10:21,821
[Book] That extra muscle coming
into play, and the quickness.

168
00:10:21,887 --> 00:10:26,993
-Oh, Montez is quick as a cat.
-[Vic] The NXT Universe fired up.

169
00:10:31,797 --> 00:10:33,766
[Vic] Swing and a miss, though, by Ford.

170
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:37,570
Oh, he got caught by Fraser.
And here's the quickness of Fraser.

171
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:40,706
He's looking to pounce,
looking to springboard off the top.

172
00:10:40,773 --> 00:10:43,242
-He got caught!
-[Book] Got caught short right there.

173
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:47,113
[Vic] And Ford just stared a hole
right through you, Booker,

174
00:10:47,179 --> 00:10:49,181
when he delivered that book end.

175
00:10:49,248 --> 00:10:53,319
But now he's looking to electrify
the NXT Universe.

176
00:10:53,386 --> 00:10:56,322
[Book] I don't like the showboating
right here, Vic.

177
00:10:58,357 --> 00:11:00,026
Oh, yeah. Oh, wow.

178
00:11:00,092 --> 00:11:02,928
[Vic] Standing moonsault
center of the ring, title's on the line,

179
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:04,897
and the champion is able to kick out.

180
00:11:04,964 --> 00:11:07,166
I brought up the ability
to break out on their own

181
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:09,635
because we've seen
Dawkins push it to the limit.

182
00:11:09,702 --> 00:11:11,771
We saw Montez Ford again
a few years back

183
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:13,105
in the elimination chamber.

184
00:11:13,172 --> 00:11:16,542
The champions have tested
the waters like the challengers.

185
00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:20,212
But what can the challengers learn
from The Street Profits about unity?

186
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:23,849
[Book] I think it's about a year ago,

187
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:27,486
the rumblings of Montez and Angie
was going to break up,

188
00:11:27,553 --> 00:11:31,157
but these guys stuck it out
because they're here to prove the point.

189
00:11:31,223 --> 00:11:35,428
[Vic] High impact combination offense
isn't enough in a near fall.

190
00:11:35,494 --> 00:11:37,563
[Book] This is a brotherhood, man.

191
00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:42,501
[Vic] Street Profits stopped
in the hall of Champions today

192
00:11:42,568 --> 00:11:45,671
here at the performance center.
They went down memory lane.

193
00:11:45,738 --> 00:11:48,774
The NXT Universe does not agree
with the official's call.

194
00:11:48,841 --> 00:11:50,843
But I believe the shoulder was up in time.

195
00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:52,912
[Book] I'm going tell you, I can see…

196
00:11:52,978 --> 00:11:56,449
[Vic] Take another look. Hold on a second.
Bam! Take a look right here.

197
00:11:56,515 --> 00:12:01,153
Dawkins made the cover,
and again a kickout by Axiom and Fraser.

198
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:03,823
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Book] Wow.

199
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:07,226
Ford may not be kicking out
after that last kick.

200
00:12:07,293 --> 00:12:08,427
[Book] Don't tag.

201
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:11,630
[Vic] Frog splash connects.
Fraser, though, is legal.

202
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:14,967
Can he get to three?

203
00:12:15,034 --> 00:12:16,202
[crowd] One, two…

204
00:12:16,268 --> 00:12:18,704
-[Vic] No!
-[Book] Damn.

205
00:12:18,771 --> 00:12:20,072
Man…

206
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:21,707
Let me tell you,

207
00:12:21,774 --> 00:12:23,876
Street Profits was a little overconfident

208
00:12:23,943 --> 00:12:27,546
coming into this match, I think, Vic.
I think they realize it now.

209
00:12:27,613 --> 00:12:30,216
[Vic] You gotta think
the challenge for the champion…

210
00:12:30,282 --> 00:12:31,550
Oh, nice combination!

211
00:12:31,617 --> 00:12:37,089
High-low with a missile dropkick
into the… Oh, Dawkins just broke that up.

212
00:12:37,156 --> 00:12:43,095
All four men down.
NXT tag team championship's on the line.

213
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:49,502
And you know, how often is it, Book,
when you think about the champions…

214
00:12:49,568 --> 00:12:50,669
being the underdogs?

215
00:12:50,736 --> 00:12:54,840
They also only had 24 hours
to pivot to get ready for this matchup.

216
00:12:54,907 --> 00:12:57,610
[Book] If anybody can pivot
and get ready for a match

217
00:12:57,676 --> 00:12:59,945
it's going to be Axiom and Nathan Fraser.

218
00:13:00,012 --> 00:13:04,416
Because I'm gonna tell you, Vic, this team
has made a believer out of me, man.

219
00:13:04,483 --> 00:13:05,885
Trust me.

220
00:13:07,853 --> 00:13:11,323
What is going through the mind
of Angelo Dawkins?

221
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:18,197
He's being egged on by the…
And Axiom quickly back to his feet!

222
00:13:18,264 --> 00:13:19,732
Might've been playing possum.

223
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:23,769
He was able to rock Dawkins for a moment.
And we've seen this in the past.

224
00:13:23,836 --> 00:13:27,706
[Book] Are we going to see it?
Are we going to see it? Oh, yeah.

225
00:13:27,773 --> 00:13:29,041
[Vic] Finisher drop!

226
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:33,846
Ford is knocking Fraser off the top…

227
00:13:35,915 --> 00:13:37,716
Back into the live action in the ring.

228
00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:39,685
-Look who's legal.
-[Book] Door opened.

229
00:13:39,752 --> 00:13:42,955
[Vic] It's Dawkins.
Fraser's legal as well.

230
00:13:44,156 --> 00:13:45,758
Ford's now legal.

231
00:13:45,824 --> 00:13:48,994
Axiom's not moving. I'm trying
to get a look at him to our right.

232
00:13:49,061 --> 00:13:50,729
To the top!

233
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,834
Blockbuster! Title's on the line.

234
00:13:55,901 --> 00:13:58,871
Ford trying go for the cover.
Who in the…

235
00:13:59,972 --> 00:14:01,006
Tama!

236
00:14:01,874 --> 00:14:03,876
-[Book growls]
-[bell rings]

237
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:05,611
[Book] God, man.

238
00:14:05,811 --> 00:14:07,813
[crowd boos]

239
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,116
-[Vic] Oh, my God.
-[Book] Is that…?

240
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:13,886
-[Vic] The Bloodline's here.
-[Book] Oh, yeah.

241
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:18,090
Business has just picked up, Vic.

242
00:14:18,257 --> 00:14:19,858
[crowd cheers and claps]

243
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:23,028
[Vic] The WWE Tag Team Champions…

244
00:14:24,063 --> 00:14:25,965
decimating the field.

245
00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:29,501
Jacob Fatu.

246
00:14:33,672 --> 00:14:39,511
[Book] Oh, baby. Oh, baby.
Victor, are we going to see it?

247
00:14:39,578 --> 00:14:43,182
[Vic] There's been deep rooted issues
with The Street Profits.

248
00:14:43,249 --> 00:14:45,384
[Book laughing viciously]

249
00:14:47,586 --> 00:14:49,421
[Vic] I'm in utter shock.

250
00:14:52,491 --> 00:14:53,492
[Book] What?

251
00:14:56,795 --> 00:15:00,299
[Vic] Bloodline continuing
to seek and destroy

252
00:15:00,366 --> 00:15:05,404
As Solo Sikoa will be locked
inside a solid steel cage this Friday

253
00:15:05,471 --> 00:15:09,408
for the undisputed WWE title
on the USA premiere of Smackdown.

254
00:15:09,475 --> 00:15:16,181
But here right now,
The Bloodline has utterly destroyed

255
00:15:16,248 --> 00:15:19,652
The Street Profits
and the NXT Tag Team Champions.

256
00:15:19,818 --> 00:15:23,722
I mean, Booker, I'm absolutely
beside myself

257
00:15:23,789 --> 00:15:27,726
thinking about what we just witnessed here
to kick off NXT.

258
00:15:27,793 --> 00:15:31,563
Like my daddy said,
get some, want some.

259
00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:36,802
Your ass better be big enough
and bad enough to take. My God, man.

260
00:15:37,736 --> 00:15:39,872
It's been a huge night.
It's been a huge week.

261
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:43,876
WWE week continuing here on USA.
We heard the big news yesterday.

262
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:45,778
Starting Monday, October 7th,

263
00:15:45,844 --> 00:15:49,815
through and including RAW's USA finale
on Monday, December 30th,

264
00:15:49,882 --> 00:15:53,886
Monday night RAW
moving to two hours, eight to ten Eastern.

265
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:57,589
First 30 minutes are commercial free.
The bloodline just wreaked havoc.

266
00:15:57,656 --> 00:16:00,626
We got a last man standing match
in our main event

267
00:16:00,693 --> 00:16:02,795
between Pete Dunne and Trick Williams.

268
00:16:02,861 --> 00:16:05,931
And Oba Femi
is going to be in action here tonight,

269
00:16:05,998 --> 00:16:08,701
but we don't necessarily know
against who.

270
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:12,304
But NXT Anonymous
might have given us a glimpse.

271
00:16:18,711 --> 00:16:21,447
I don't know you,
but you got a reputation.

272
00:16:21,613 --> 00:16:23,749
You're not afraid to get your hands dirty.

273
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:25,517
My kind of guy.

274
00:16:25,584 --> 00:16:27,286
Listen, Oba's a wrecking machine.

275
00:16:27,453 --> 00:16:31,123
He disrespected Adriana.
I need you to take him out.

276
00:16:33,726 --> 00:16:37,730
I'll put a little extra in here,
all right? Get it done.

277
00:16:47,439 --> 00:16:52,878
[Vic] The surprises keep coming.
The rumors are true.

278
00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:59,551
The speculation is over. Giulia
"The Beautiful Madness" has arrived.

279
00:17:02,988 --> 00:17:05,924
[Giulia speaking in Japanese]

280
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:23,208
[crowd chants "Giulia!"]

281
00:17:25,444 --> 00:17:28,680
[Vic] And Perez's reign continues

282
00:17:31,650 --> 00:17:36,221
-Giulia has arrived.
-Giulia, baby.

283
00:17:36,288 --> 00:17:39,058
This is literally why I watch this show.

284
00:17:39,124 --> 00:17:42,961
[Vic] If there's anyone
that can keep Perez from more records,

285
00:17:43,028 --> 00:17:45,364
we could be looking at her.

286
00:17:49,201 --> 00:17:51,937
As NXT looks towards its future,

287
00:17:52,004 --> 00:17:57,609
is the NXT women's champion,
Roxanne Perez, staring into hers?

288
00:17:57,676 --> 00:18:00,879
Chelsea Green
gonna be black and blue tomorrow.

289
00:18:01,046 --> 00:18:03,449
Me, you…

290
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:04,917
CW.

291
00:18:15,461 --> 00:18:18,464
[tense music with vocalizations playing]

292
00:18:40,219 --> 00:18:43,889
[crowd] Giulia, Giulia!

293
00:18:44,823 --> 00:18:45,724
[bell rings]

294
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:49,261
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

295
00:18:49,328 --> 00:18:53,098
Introducing first, Giulia.

296
00:18:53,732 --> 00:18:56,635
[Vic] We will all remember this moment.

297
00:18:57,236 --> 00:19:02,975
A highly anticipated debut
of an international sensation.

298
00:19:03,041 --> 00:19:06,478
The time for talk is over.
Giulia has arrived.

299
00:19:06,545 --> 00:19:08,547
And she's getting ready to step foot

300
00:19:08,614 --> 00:19:11,950
to compete in an NXT ring
for the very first time.

301
00:19:12,017 --> 00:19:15,854
[Book] You know, Vic, they say
when your name arrives before you do,

302
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:20,225
you got something good going on.
That's Giulia.

303
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:22,761
We'll find out
a whole lot about her tonight,

304
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:26,265
and I cannot wait for the bell, baby.

305
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:30,969
[Vic] The aura surrounding Giulia
is absolutely unreal.

306
00:19:31,036 --> 00:19:32,738
Shhh…

307
00:19:32,804 --> 00:19:34,173
It's Chelsea.

308
00:19:34,239 --> 00:19:37,242
["Hot Mess" playing]

309
00:19:41,146 --> 00:19:43,415
[announcer] And her opponent…

310
00:19:43,482 --> 00:19:47,519
Chelsea Green!

311
00:19:51,423 --> 00:19:53,659
[Vic] On her X account,

312
00:19:53,725 --> 00:19:56,828
which I'm sure you follow.
and check out daily,

313
00:19:56,895 --> 00:19:58,030
on her X account,

314
00:19:58,096 --> 00:20:03,402
Green posted
she did not approve of this matchup.

315
00:20:03,468 --> 00:20:07,139
[Book] Really, talking about
not having time to prepare.

316
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:08,974
But it doesn't matter.

317
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:12,277
-[Vic] What? She's had a week.
-[Book] A week? A week.

318
00:20:12,344 --> 00:20:14,146
[Vic] What will you give her, a year?

319
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:20,485
[Book] For Giulia, somebody that is
so talented. A week? Are you kidding me?

320
00:20:20,552 --> 00:20:24,323
-[Vic] That's what you got.
-[Book] Like going up against Mike Tyson.

321
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:28,160
[Vic] How long would you need to take
before you face Mike Tyson? A lifetime?

322
00:20:28,226 --> 00:20:30,262
[Book] At least a couple of months.

323
00:20:30,329 --> 00:20:32,965
[crowd] Giulia, Giulia!

324
00:20:33,665 --> 00:20:36,268
[Book] Oh! Just another night of…

325
00:20:36,335 --> 00:20:39,905
[Vic] That's probably not
the smartest move to make.

326
00:20:39,972 --> 00:20:44,176
And answering right back. Look,
Giulia's known for her striking ability,

327
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:47,813
as we saw last weekend.
Well, as Chelsea Green fell, I mean,

328
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:50,115
what are you expecting
out of Giulia tonight?

329
00:20:50,182 --> 00:20:54,186
[Book] She loves to delve into the strong
style of professional wrestling.

330
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,521
I think it's going to be hard hitting

331
00:20:57,222 --> 00:21:00,626
In the case of Chelsea Green,
she's about to get beat up.

332
00:21:00,692 --> 00:21:03,195
[Vic] Well, Chelsea Green was not happy.

333
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:07,299
Very upset that it is Giulia
headed to Chicago for our CW debut

334
00:21:07,366 --> 00:21:11,470
to face Roxanne Perez for the NXT
women's championship and not her.

335
00:21:11,536 --> 00:21:14,106
What a missile dropkick!

336
00:21:14,172 --> 00:21:16,375
Chelsea Green has not gotten
out of the gates.

337
00:21:16,441 --> 00:21:19,211
I guess this goes back
to what you said about preparation.

338
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:21,546
Into the cover, hook of the leg
and a kickout.

339
00:21:21,613 --> 00:21:24,249
I mean, look, it was Giulia
who dominated in Stardom.

340
00:21:24,316 --> 00:21:26,752
She held the World Wonder
Stardom Championships.

341
00:21:26,818 --> 00:21:30,188
She was the strong women's champion
in New Japan.

342
00:21:30,255 --> 00:21:34,092
[Book] Now you talking my talk, right?
Now you see what I'm talking about.

343
00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:36,128
When your name gets there before you,

344
00:21:36,194 --> 00:21:38,297
that says you have done
just about everything.

345
00:21:38,363 --> 00:21:40,365
Tonight she's going to show Chelsea Green.

346
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:43,635
And then she wants to show
the prodigy a little something.

347
00:21:43,702 --> 00:21:46,171
-I cannot wait.
-[Vic] That'll happen in Chicago.

348
00:21:46,238 --> 00:21:49,107
And it's Chelsea Green trying
to get back into this matchup.

349
00:21:49,174 --> 00:21:51,977
And can you imagine
if Chelsea Green ruins Giulia's debut?

350
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:55,480
We will never, ever hear the end of it.

351
00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:59,951
[Book] Chelsea, like I said,
this is just another day at the office.

352
00:22:00,018 --> 00:22:02,921
[Vic] Got caught once more.
Giulia charges back. Goes up.

353
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:04,322
[Book] Oh, baby.

354
00:22:04,389 --> 00:22:07,759
[Vic] She goes around.
You might think that's an octopus stretch.

355
00:22:07,826 --> 00:22:12,264
It's not. It's the spider web.
The feet lock, the pressure on the body…

356
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:15,767
Chelsea Green is in desperation.
She's in a lot of trouble right now.

357
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:21,306
Green is trying to find her way,
navigate her way to the rope.

358
00:22:21,373 --> 00:22:24,443
She's able to get to the rope.
Shoulders down, kick out.

359
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:28,680
[Book] Oh, man. Let's not talk about it.
Giulia being 1, 2, 3 steps ahead.

360
00:22:28,747 --> 00:22:30,582
[Vic] That knee almost…

361
00:22:30,649 --> 00:22:33,051
was felt again by Chelsea Green.

362
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:35,921
[Book] Giulia's a special talent, Vic.

363
00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:40,225
[Vic] There's only so far
Chelsea Green can run.

364
00:22:40,292 --> 00:22:43,929
She just got caught and felt
that knee one way or another.

365
00:22:43,995 --> 00:22:46,164
Oh, and I actually feel bad now.

366
00:22:46,231 --> 00:22:47,299
Oh!

367
00:22:48,934 --> 00:22:52,170
[Book] I like Giulia. I like Giulia.

368
00:22:52,237 --> 00:22:55,073
-[Vic] What's not to like?
-[Book] Don't trust anyone.

369
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:57,376
You can't get one over on her.
She's smart.

370
00:22:57,442 --> 00:23:00,979
[Vic] I've noticed, looking around
for Chelsea Green, there's no Piper Niven.

371
00:23:01,046 --> 00:23:04,649
Last Friday on Smackdown she helped
Green steal a match against Michin.

372
00:23:04,716 --> 00:23:08,286
But it's Chelsea Green
who wanted that opportunity,

373
00:23:08,353 --> 00:23:10,622
wanted to face Roxanne Perez
one more time.

374
00:23:10,689 --> 00:23:12,157
While on the topic of titles,

375
00:23:12,224 --> 00:23:16,294
the NXT Heritage Cup
will still be defended later on tonight.

376
00:23:16,628 --> 00:23:17,963
[referee] Knock it off.

377
00:23:18,029 --> 00:23:21,533
The second of three championships
to be defended here, of course.

378
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,504
We just saw what happened
in the NXT tag team title matchup.

379
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:27,272
Giulia, though, hoisted up.

380
00:23:27,339 --> 00:23:31,009
Chelsea walking to the center of the ring
and looking at plant Green,

381
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:34,179
who slithers down the back,
German suplex connect.

382
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:36,081
Throwing Giulia inside-out.

383
00:23:36,148 --> 00:23:39,818
And what about Chelsea Green
bringing her a game here tonight.

384
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:46,892
This could be a massive upset.
Can Green shock the world?

385
00:23:46,958 --> 00:23:48,927
And Giulia able to kick out.

386
00:23:48,994 --> 00:23:50,695
[Book] I like the attitude. Wait!

387
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:52,564
[Vic] Another cover, another kickout.

388
00:23:52,631 --> 00:23:54,065
Think about what Chelsea said.

389
00:23:54,132 --> 00:23:56,501
She's been talking
about it on social media.

390
00:23:56,568 --> 00:24:00,639
She should be facing Roxanne Perez.
Take another look at this offense.

391
00:24:00,705 --> 00:24:04,543
This beautiful German suplex really
has changed the complexion of this matchup

392
00:24:04,609 --> 00:24:08,413
for Chelsea Green, who now has Giulia
tied up in the center of the ring.

393
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,583
But is Chelsea right to be upset?

394
00:24:11,650 --> 00:24:12,617
[Book] I mean no…

395
00:24:12,684 --> 00:24:15,520
[Vic] Cover and a kickout!
She got that shoulder off the mat.

396
00:24:15,587 --> 00:24:17,889
[Book] She has the right
to be upset, but more…

397
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:19,257
[Vic] Shifting the weight.

398
00:24:19,324 --> 00:24:22,594
[Book] More importantly than that,
she has a chance to prove it here

399
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:25,730
by beating Giulia
in the middle of this ring, Vic.

400
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:29,701
[Vic] This now starting to break down
and I don't know, Book,

401
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:34,306
if you want to get in to a strike
for strike contest with Giulia.

402
00:24:34,372 --> 00:24:38,310
People think about Giulia,
they think about her striking ability.

403
00:24:38,376 --> 00:24:41,379
She can go toe-to-toe with anybody.

404
00:24:42,614 --> 00:24:46,485
Referee in great position. Chip Danning
telling Chelsea she's got to move

405
00:24:46,551 --> 00:24:48,753
or get her hands up,
a little bit of separation.

406
00:24:48,820 --> 00:24:51,122
Giulia charging right back in.

407
00:24:51,189 --> 00:24:54,659
[Book] That's what I'm talking about
Giulia's always one step ahead.

408
00:24:54,726 --> 00:24:58,063
Seems like she's clairvoyant.
Like she could see into the future.

409
00:24:58,129 --> 00:25:01,700
What's next? What's next?
Now she's just pacing.

410
00:25:01,766 --> 00:25:02,634
Stalking.

411
00:25:02,701 --> 00:25:08,306
[Vic] We've all been waiting for this
matchup, for Giulia's debut, this moment.

412
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:12,344
And the NXT Universe serenading…

413
00:25:12,410 --> 00:25:15,447
[crowd sings]

414
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:19,084
…the newest superstar
to the NXT women's division.

415
00:25:19,150 --> 00:25:22,787
[Book] Oooh, man.

416
00:25:22,854 --> 00:25:25,790
[Vic] What did you say earlier?
Messages. Sending messages.

417
00:25:25,857 --> 00:25:29,027
Giulia's sending one.
And she's sending it to one woman.

418
00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:33,632
The prodigy, Roxanne Perez, the woman
holding the NXT women's championship.

419
00:25:33,698 --> 00:25:37,269
Tell you, if Roxanne is smart like
I know she is, she's watching this match,

420
00:25:37,335 --> 00:25:38,370
she's taking notes.

421
00:25:38,436 --> 00:25:40,238
She's going to be totally prepared.

422
00:25:40,305 --> 00:25:42,140
Cuz preparation, I taught her this,

423
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:46,711
preparation is the only luck you're
ever going to have in this business.

424
00:25:46,778 --> 00:25:50,448
[Vic] Well, when Giulia came
face to face with Roxanne Perez last week,

425
00:25:50,515 --> 00:25:56,388
it certainly was a goose bump moment
felt here on NXT.

426
00:25:57,055 --> 00:26:02,427
But now the action
is right out here in front of us.

427
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:06,231
And look how quickly Chelsea Green
has turned this matchup around.

428
00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:09,167
-[Book] Oh baby, yeah.
-[Vic] Completely around, one more time.

429
00:26:09,801 --> 00:26:11,102
[Book] I like it.

430
00:26:11,169 --> 00:26:16,775
Now the thing is, Chelsea just lured
Giulia in to take that shot right there.

431
00:26:16,841 --> 00:26:20,612
-I'm liking the action. Here we go!
-[Vic] A third time!

432
00:26:27,552 --> 00:26:28,553
The referee…

433
00:26:31,556 --> 00:26:33,391
Booker, you better get out of the way.

434
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:42,434
You see that look Chelsea gave you?
She's not happy with you right now.

435
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:44,069
She's not happy with her opponent.

436
00:26:44,135 --> 00:26:48,206
She's not happy with a general manager
on any brand in the WWE.

437
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:50,542
And it's Chelsea climbing to the top.

438
00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:55,013
Could be looking for her missile
dropkick to connect into Giulia.

439
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,716
Giulia is able to side step
and get out of the way.

440
00:26:57,782 --> 00:27:03,688
Lands that knee under the jaw.
Good night, Green.

441
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:08,493
Got to give it up for Chelsea Green
laying out all the stops, Vic.

442
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,462
Give it up for Giulia.

443
00:27:10,528 --> 00:27:13,465
Giulia now locking in…

444
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:19,771
and just planting
with that Northern Lights Bomb.

445
00:27:19,838 --> 00:27:25,410
And The Beautiful Madness creates
her first beautiful masterpiece on NXT.

446
00:27:25,477 --> 00:27:27,712
[announcer] Here is your winner…

447
00:27:27,779 --> 00:27:30,181
Giulia.

448
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:38,723
NXT Universe rising to their feet.

449
00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:40,625
And it was Giulia

450
00:27:40,692 --> 00:27:44,062
who was trying to keep Chelsea Green
off her feet in this match.

451
00:27:44,129 --> 00:27:46,131
But it was actually Chelsea Green

452
00:27:46,197 --> 00:27:49,334
who would turn up the aggression
in this matchup.

453
00:27:49,401 --> 00:27:50,835
She knew what was at stake.

454
00:27:50,902 --> 00:27:56,941
But in the end, it was Giulia showing you
why she's an international sensation,

455
00:27:57,008 --> 00:28:00,412
why she's won so many championships
around the world.

456
00:28:00,478 --> 00:28:06,217
And with her first victory here on NXT,
she now sets her sights

457
00:28:06,284 --> 00:28:07,852
on another piece of gold.

458
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:10,655
Because three weeks
from tonight in Chicago,

459
00:28:10,722 --> 00:28:13,324
on her highly anticipated debut
on the CW

460
00:28:13,391 --> 00:28:18,663
Perez vs Giulia for the NXT Women's
Championship. Tickets on sale now.

461
00:28:18,730 --> 00:28:21,866
You do not want to miss this.

462
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:28,940
What an amazing debut that was for Giulia.

463
00:28:29,007 --> 00:28:33,311
Trick, tonight is your opportunity
to get back to the NXT Championship.

464
00:28:33,378 --> 00:28:36,781
But first, it's a last man
standing match with Pete Dunne.

465
00:28:36,848 --> 00:28:38,616
Look, I ain't gonna lie to you.

466
00:28:38,683 --> 00:28:41,286
I never had a last man
standing match before.

467
00:28:41,352 --> 00:28:44,723
Look, I know it takes grit,
I know it takes determination,

468
00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:47,459
but I've never done it before.
But don't get it twisted.

469
00:28:47,525 --> 00:28:51,262
That's not gonna stop me
from getting my NXT title back. Yeah.

470
00:28:51,329 --> 00:28:55,667
CW, October 1st, Chicago. Ethan Page.

471
00:28:56,835 --> 00:29:00,438
I want that.
Not even Pete Dunne is gonna stop me.

472
00:29:00,505 --> 00:29:02,841
And just to be clear,
I want the world to know.

473
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:08,513
Pete, you are undoubtedly,
undeniably a Class 1 butch.

474
00:29:09,013 --> 00:29:11,382
I respect your game.
You break fingers. You're bad.

475
00:29:11,449 --> 00:29:14,085
You're one of the best opponents
I ever seen.

476
00:29:14,152 --> 00:29:18,256
But tonight, I will be the last…

477
00:29:18,890 --> 00:29:19,891
man…

478
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:21,292
standing.

479
00:29:31,870 --> 00:29:37,909
For the past 15 years, this TNA Knockouts
Championship has represented the best

480
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:40,145
women's wrestling outside of WWE.

481
00:29:40,879 --> 00:29:44,282
Legends and future Hall of Famers
have held this.

482
00:29:44,349 --> 00:29:47,752
And now I carry it and its legacy proudly.

483
00:29:48,987 --> 00:29:54,259
So why an open challenge
as part of WWE Week on USA?

484
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:58,696
Well, the NXT women's division
is stacked from top to bottom.

485
00:29:59,397 --> 00:30:03,101
And the more formidable
the opponents that I defeat,

486
00:30:04,536 --> 00:30:10,441
the more prestigious this title becomes.
So NXT, bring your best,

487
00:30:11,176 --> 00:30:15,380
because I always bring mine.

488
00:30:18,216 --> 00:30:21,186
Knockouts Open challenge. Still to come,

489
00:30:24,189 --> 00:30:27,192

00:30:37,869 --> 00:30:43,508
Introducing first the challenger,
accompanied by Cedric Alexander,

494
00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:45,577
Je'Von Evans!

495
00:30:46,110 --> 00:30:49,981
The TNA Knockout Championship
will be defended later on tonight.

496
00:30:50,048 --> 00:30:52,851
The Heritage Cup is on the line. Next.

497
00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:12,971
My, oh my. It appears that some
of my loyal and creative intellectuals

498
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:16,841
put together a little compilation
of the King's greatest hits.

499
00:31:33,591 --> 00:31:34,959
Give me a new king.

500
00:31:45,470 --> 00:31:48,406
[King] Tough luck, Oro.
I mean, who's your daddy now?

501
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:52,710
That's right, me.
And everyone loves the King.

502
00:31:52,777 --> 00:31:54,545
And speaking about what people love,

503
00:31:54,612 --> 00:31:58,516
why don't we check out the most talked
about beard in the WWE

504
00:31:59,784 --> 00:32:01,519
fresh as

505
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:02,587
al--

506
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:07,926
[indistinct]

507
00:32:12,497 --> 00:32:15,500
[indistinct conversations]

508
00:32:21,205 --> 00:32:23,775
Jordynne's the real deal. You ready?

509
00:32:25,243 --> 00:32:27,612
If I didn't have the title,
I'd be first in line.

510
00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:30,381
But I'm excited for you
and everyone for this opportunity.

511
00:32:30,448 --> 00:32:34,819
-You guys really deserve it.
-Yeah, you have that title. Well, for now.

512
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:38,923
So cute. Everybody warming up.

513
00:32:38,990 --> 00:32:43,227
So who's gonna step up to the plate
and challenge Jordynne Grace?

514
00:32:43,294 --> 00:32:47,165
For all that complaining you do,
tonight's your chance. Who better to face

515
00:32:47,231 --> 00:32:50,268
Jordynne than the self-proclaimed
leaders of the locker room?

516
00:32:50,335 --> 00:32:55,173
-So tell me who's stepping up.
-You don't tell us what to do, right?

517
00:32:55,239 --> 00:32:57,308
-Who does she think she is?
-I thought that.

518
00:32:57,375 --> 00:33:00,745
Because if you did, Fatal Influence
would be making a fatal mistake.

519
00:33:01,179 --> 00:33:02,780
-I never liked you.
-Yeah?

520
00:33:03,581 --> 00:33:06,584
[indistinct arguments]

521
00:33:17,095 --> 00:33:23,334
[announcer] For No Quarter Catch Crew,
he is the NXT Heritage Cup Champion,

522
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:26,304
Charlie Dempsey!

523
00:33:26,371 --> 00:33:31,109
Maybe it'll be Lola Vice who answers
Jordynne Grace's challenge later tonight,

524
00:33:31,175 --> 00:33:36,280
but it's all about the Heritage Cup
Championship right here, right now

525
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:40,051
as WWE week continuing tonight
on the USA Network.

526
00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:44,689
And you see Je'Von Evans, I mean,
he's looking to prove the haters wrong

527
00:33:44,756 --> 00:33:46,524
and earn his first gold in the WWE.

528
00:33:46,591 --> 00:33:49,427
[Book] Opportunity knocks, Vic.

529
00:33:49,494 --> 00:33:51,696
You want to make sure
you answer that door.

530
00:33:51,763 --> 00:33:53,464
You want to do it quick.

531
00:33:53,531 --> 00:33:57,702
[Vic] As for Charlie Dempsey,
he can't be happy with Wren Sinclair

532
00:33:57,769 --> 00:33:59,270
just handing out cup matches.

533
00:33:59,337 --> 00:34:02,473
Of course, Sinclair on the outside,
she could be the one that answers

534
00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:06,110
-the TNA Knockouts Championship Challenge.
-She's the talk, a chatterbox.

535
00:34:06,177 --> 00:34:10,548
[Book] My mother always said, "Don't let
your mouth overload your behind."

536
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:13,117
I think that's
what she needs to understand, Vic.

537
00:34:13,484 --> 00:34:16,087
[Vic] Well, Charlie
would love her to understand that

538
00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:20,191
so he's not finding himself
in championship matches week in, week out

539
00:34:20,358 --> 00:34:21,359
[Book] He's quick!

540
00:34:21,659 --> 00:34:24,395
[Vic] 30 seconds off the clock
in round number one.

541
00:34:24,462 --> 00:34:27,765
And how will Evans fare
in this style of matchup?

542
00:34:27,832 --> 00:34:30,668
This is someone who stays full throttle.

543
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:33,604
But it's not just the style of match,
but of the opponent.

544
00:34:33,671 --> 00:34:35,907
And Charlie Dempsey is a throwback.

545
00:34:35,973 --> 00:34:41,345
A lot of Dave Taylor, a lot of Fin Finlay.
He's looking to hurt you. He's dangerous.

546
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:45,583
[Vic] Certainly has a blue-blood pedigree
as we're 60 seconds off the clock

547
00:34:45,650 --> 00:34:46,851
in round number one.

548
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:49,520
The biggest thing
that I thought about this matchup

549
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:51,989
is a learning curve
with the start and the stop

550
00:34:52,056 --> 00:34:53,991
due to the round format for Je'Von Evans.

551
00:34:54,058 --> 00:34:58,629
[Book] He may have a few hiccups
as far as that go, but one thing about him

552
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:01,732
is that he's ambitious.
He's hungry more than anything.

553
00:35:01,799 --> 00:35:03,534
[Vic] Going for a fireman's carry.

554
00:35:03,601 --> 00:35:06,604
Good takedown, but not able to escape
the wrist lock by Je'Von.

555
00:35:06,671 --> 00:35:10,408
And we talked about Bourne and Sinclair
on the outside for Charlie Dempsey.

556
00:35:10,475 --> 00:35:13,578
Cedric Alexander on the side of the ring,
right in front of us,

557
00:35:13,644 --> 00:35:19,283
supporting Je'Von Evans, who continues
to hang on, with 90 seconds left.

558
00:35:19,350 --> 00:35:22,019
[Book] I like that the young OG
is smart enough to know

559
00:35:22,086 --> 00:35:23,654
that he's gonna need backup

560
00:35:23,721 --> 00:35:26,424
a situation like this
because it's a numbers game.

561
00:35:26,491 --> 00:35:29,660
[Vic] Well, with Cedric in his corner,
Alexander has been lending

562
00:35:29,727 --> 00:35:32,897
advice to the young OG
since Alexander arrived back here in NXT.

563
00:35:33,064 --> 00:35:36,067
Another quick escape from Je'Von Evans.

564
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:39,036
[Book] I like the strategy
of this young man right now.

565
00:35:39,103 --> 00:35:43,141
That's not trying to rush anything.
Don't want to run into anything big.

566
00:35:43,207 --> 00:35:44,242
I like that.

567
00:35:45,409 --> 00:35:48,145
[Vic] Look at the clock.
It's at 60 seconds. Round one.

568
00:35:48,212 --> 00:35:51,282
And really this has been
a feeling out process of sorts.

569
00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:54,352
And I don't know if it's Je'Von
not wanting to make a mistake

570
00:35:54,418 --> 00:35:59,557
or if it's Charlie Dempsey trying to bait
Je'Von Evans into a mistake.

571
00:35:59,624 --> 00:36:03,227
Take a look at Dempsey's
unique style of offense.

572
00:36:03,394 --> 00:36:06,697
[Book] It's chess, not checkers,
Vic, like I said,

573
00:36:06,764 --> 00:36:10,368
you don't want to run in and try to throw
everything out in the first round.

574
00:36:10,434 --> 00:36:14,272
-[Book] We got a long way to go.
-[Vic] Charlie Dempsey now starting

575
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:18,676
to dissect Evans, focusing on
the upper body. Referee, great position.

576
00:36:18,743 --> 00:36:22,246
Right shoulder coming off the mat
with under 30 seconds here down to 25.

577
00:36:22,313 --> 00:36:25,850
Evans again shoulders down. This time
the left shoulder's coming off the mat

578
00:36:25,917 --> 00:36:29,220
with 20 seconds left in round one.
Evans trying to bridge his way out.

579
00:36:29,287 --> 00:36:31,756
He did.
Dempsey trying to put his weight down.

580
00:36:31,822 --> 00:36:34,792
Look at the neck strength
by Evans who pops up.

581
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:37,528
In that boy bouncy Dempsey
doesn't break the hold.

582
00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:41,432
Rolling back through inside
the final 10 seconds. Dempsey answering.

583
00:36:41,499 --> 00:36:45,336
Evans lands on his feet looking to pump
back into the ring with an extra umph.

584
00:36:45,403 --> 00:36:49,140
But the time has expired here
in round number one.

585
00:36:49,207 --> 00:36:51,876
[Book] Even round, right there, Vic.

586
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:57,081
Evans with a smile on his face because
remember it was Je'Von Evans who heard

587
00:36:57,148 --> 00:37:02,253
what Dallas said. They don't believe
that Evans is suited for this style

588
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,057
of matchup as he takes a couple
of deep reps. Wren Sinclair, Miles Born.

589
00:37:06,123 --> 00:37:07,959
Talk a little bit of strategy.

590
00:37:08,025 --> 00:37:10,962
[Book] I don't agree.
Je'Von Evans is a special talent.

591
00:37:11,028 --> 00:37:14,865
He brings so much to the table.
Vic, he's different. He's different.

592
00:37:14,932 --> 00:37:17,935
-[Book] That's all it is.
-[Vic] We take a look at Dempsey's eyes.

593
00:37:18,002 --> 00:37:21,973
Oh, Evans trying to get
a quick maneuver into this round.

594
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:26,177
Dempsey was able to get out of the way,
rolling through. Evans back to his feet.

595
00:37:26,243 --> 00:37:28,246
Dempsey from behind. Evans holding on.

596
00:37:28,312 --> 00:37:31,215
[Vic] Evans flying up.
Over. Shoulders down.

597
00:37:31,282 --> 00:37:34,385
-[Book] Beautiful.
-[Vic] Evans did not get a fall.

598
00:37:34,452 --> 00:37:36,053
Almost the first decision.

599
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,490
And again, first superstar
to two decisions will be victorious

600
00:37:39,557 --> 00:37:44,095
in this matchup. If there's
a disqualification, it ends like that.

601
00:37:44,161 --> 00:37:47,698
Those rest periods, as you're seeing
in between the rounds, so crucial.

602
00:37:47,765 --> 00:37:52,403
Dempsey doesn't connect. Evans coming in,
going up and over. Can he get a backslide?

603
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:57,041
Trying to get down, trying
to get the advantage. Dempsey trying

604
00:37:57,108 --> 00:38:01,579
to overpower the young OG in this moment
to get his way over the turnbuckle.

605
00:38:01,646 --> 00:38:04,949
And he did in the back of Evans.
Neck just snapped.

606
00:38:05,016 --> 00:38:07,585
[Book] That was crafty
right there by Charlie Dempsey

607
00:38:07,652 --> 00:38:11,322
right now looking to bounce
on Je'Von Evans.

608
00:38:13,357 --> 00:38:18,996
Flying suplex connects and Dempsey
just picked up the first decision.

609
00:38:19,196 --> 00:38:22,967
[announcer] Charlie Dempsey
has scored the first ball.

610
00:38:23,034 --> 00:38:28,072
[Vic] That look of seriousness has escaped
the face of Dempsey, who has a big smile

611
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:32,276
because up 1-0. Who's walking out
tonight with a Heritage Cup?

612
00:38:32,343 --> 00:38:35,446
Don't miss a second of the action
in our picture-picture break.

613
00:38:38,416 --> 00:38:40,851
[Vic] In the final 45 seconds
in round three.

614
00:38:40,918 --> 00:38:44,855
Je'Von Evans inside cradle,
shoulders down, trying to tie at one fall.

615
00:38:44,922 --> 00:38:47,124
Dempsey able to kick out as we're inside

616
00:38:47,191 --> 00:38:50,828
the final 40 seconds
and Charlie Dempsey continuing to apply

617
00:38:50,895 --> 00:38:54,432
the offensive pressure. Evans right now
fighting on the back foot,

618
00:38:54,498 --> 00:38:57,001
getting back into the matchup
in the final 30 seconds

619
00:38:57,068 --> 00:38:59,170
as Cedric Alexander on the outside

620
00:38:59,236 --> 00:39:02,473
throughout the break has been trying
to fire up Evans for this matchup.

621
00:39:02,540 --> 00:39:06,010
We're approaching the final 20 seconds
here in round number three.

622
00:39:06,077 --> 00:39:10,448
And it might be go time
for the young OG looking to fly.

623
00:39:11,315 --> 00:39:15,319
Got all of his cover
and Evans ties it at one.

624
00:39:15,386 --> 00:39:16,554
[Book] Wow.

625
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:20,591
[announcer] Je'Von Evans
has scored the second ball.

626
00:39:20,658 --> 00:39:24,528
[Vic] That is huge
for Je'Von Evans in this match.

627
00:39:24,595 --> 00:39:27,598
But I want to bring something up to you
as we think about this.

628
00:39:27,665 --> 00:39:32,336
Heading now into the next round,
Dempsey does such a great job of making

629
00:39:32,403 --> 00:39:37,174
his opponents adjust to his style instead
of him having to adjust to theirs.

630
00:39:37,241 --> 00:39:39,944
Has Je'Von Evans
now just changed the game?

631
00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:43,314
[Book] No, you know, I don't think so
because in the break the fans

632
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:45,983
didn't get a chance to see
Charlie Dempsey was putting

633
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:48,285
on a master class and just got caught.

634
00:39:48,352 --> 00:39:53,657
Maybe the kid caught a second wind
or something, but he's on the move.

635
00:39:53,724 --> 00:39:57,361
[Vic] But to my point,
it's now Je'Von Evans who has

636
00:39:57,428 --> 00:40:00,765
a little bit more freedom
because he's not on the back foot.

637
00:40:00,831 --> 00:40:03,100
He's tied at one. He's one decision away.

638
00:40:03,167 --> 00:40:05,970
He's just three seconds away
from the Heritage Cup.

639
00:40:06,036 --> 00:40:08,739
And Charlie Dempsey worked
so hard to recapture this cup.

640
00:40:09,473 --> 00:40:11,675
But could tonight be the night
for Je'Von Evans?

641
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:15,146
[Book] Think about it. Je'Von Evans's been
in many high stakes situations

642
00:40:15,212 --> 00:40:16,347
at such a young age.

643
00:40:16,413 --> 00:40:21,185
This kid is looking, he, he's hungry.
He wants more than to capture that cup.

644
00:40:21,252 --> 00:40:24,155
-[Book] How big would it be?
-[Vic] It would be huge.

645
00:40:24,221 --> 00:40:28,826
[Vic] And now it's Evans forcing Dempsey
to have to be on the back foot.

646
00:40:28,893 --> 00:40:31,996
-[Book] He's coming!
-[Vic] Defense! Uppercut!

647
00:40:32,863 --> 00:40:35,566
[Vic] Under the jaw. And Dempsey… oh!

648
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:40,971
pulling the young OG
right through almost that middle rope.

649
00:40:41,872 --> 00:40:47,444
And turning this right back around
here in round number four into the cover,

650
00:40:47,511 --> 00:40:51,415
does hook the leg, but puts a lot
of body weight on Evans' upper body,

651
00:40:51,482 --> 00:40:54,151
having him use
even more energy to kick out.

652
00:40:54,218 --> 00:40:56,587
[Book] The thing
about Dempsey, he knows the rules.

653
00:40:56,654 --> 00:41:00,257
He knows he can take a fall
and still get the job done.

654
00:41:00,324 --> 00:41:03,194
I think that's why he's so comfortable
in these matches.

655
00:41:03,260 --> 00:41:05,996
Go back to earlier in this matchup
when it was Evans

656
00:41:06,063 --> 00:41:08,032
whose neck snapped on the top turnbuckle.

657
00:41:08,098 --> 00:41:12,036
And it's now Charlie Dempsey
who is focusing with a second

658
00:41:12,102 --> 00:41:14,338
neck breaker on Je'Von Evans.

659
00:41:15,072 --> 00:41:20,344
Surgically, Vic surgically taking
Je'Von Evans apart piece by piece.

660
00:41:20,411 --> 00:41:24,582
And another cover and another kick out
by Evans Again, the next decision will win

661
00:41:24,648 --> 00:41:27,184
this matchup and would win
the Heritage Cup.

662
00:41:27,251 --> 00:41:30,287
Charlie Dempsey right now
raining on elbow after elbow.

663
00:41:30,354 --> 00:41:32,156
The referee right there in position.

664
00:41:32,223 --> 00:41:35,860
Je'Von Evans trying to continue
to defend himself, turn his body in.

665
00:41:35,926 --> 00:41:38,796
Charlie Dempsey wisely locking
in this front face lock.

666
00:41:38,863 --> 00:41:42,833
And look at the grip by Charlie Dempsey
right now. He's got this cinched in.

667
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:47,271
[Book] Just that he's leaning on this
kid right now, trying to make him use

668
00:41:47,338 --> 00:41:50,741
every ounce of energy he possibly can.
Baby, put this kid to sleep.

669
00:41:50,808 --> 00:41:55,045
[Vic] The Clock right now could be
a friend for Je'Von Evans or an enemy.

670
00:41:55,112 --> 00:42:01,385
He's got to hang on for 50 more seconds
to force around five without a…

671
00:42:01,552 --> 00:42:05,256
Body scissors squeezing the air out
of the body of Je'Von Evans.

672
00:42:05,322 --> 00:42:07,224
[Book] Trying to take him out,
tap him out.

673
00:42:07,291 --> 00:42:10,594
But this kid right here,
he's got a little bit left in the tank.

674
00:42:10,661 --> 00:42:13,130
-[Book] Here we go.
-[Vic] Evans broke the hold

675
00:42:13,464 --> 00:42:15,266
-[Vic] with a suplex.
-[Book] Wow.

676
00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:21,372
[Vic] Under 30 seconds now. And a look
of determination in the eyes of Evans.

677
00:42:21,438 --> 00:42:25,075
Cedric Alexander right now peering
through, trying to coach up Evans.

678
00:42:25,142 --> 00:42:29,213
Wren Sinclair, Miles Bourne
on the No Quarter Catch Cruise side

679
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,949
side for Dempsey. Slugfest breaking out.

680
00:42:32,016 --> 00:42:35,853
Just 15 seconds left in round four.
We're tied at one. Who wants it more?

681
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,923
-[Vic] Down to the final 10 seconds. Ooh!
-[Book] Wow.

682
00:42:38,989 --> 00:42:42,960
[Vic] Dempsey, double underhook,
suplex, connects shoulders.

683
00:42:43,027 --> 00:42:45,829
Referee no near fall
into another submission.

684
00:42:45,896 --> 00:42:48,766
And Evans is saved by the bell.

685
00:42:50,134 --> 00:42:51,268
Come on, ref.

686
00:42:53,237 --> 00:42:55,873
And Alexander doing the right thing.

687
00:42:56,607 --> 00:42:59,610
[indistinct arguments]

688
00:43:01,712 --> 00:43:03,314
[Vic] Things starting to break down.

689
00:43:03,380 --> 00:43:07,685
Cedric Alexander was protecting
his friend. Charlie Dempsey heard the bell

690
00:43:07,751 --> 00:43:09,787
and didn't relinquish the hold.
He's lucky.

691
00:43:09,853 --> 00:43:12,489
-[Book] Maybe he didn't hear it.
-[Vic] What do you mean?

692
00:43:12,556 --> 00:43:14,792
[Vic] Not Miles Born up there
not hearing it.

693
00:43:14,858 --> 00:43:16,360
Talk about Charlie Dempsey.

694
00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:19,663
He held on, of course he heard
the damn bell.

695
00:43:22,466 --> 00:43:24,301
I will say this about Dempsey.

696
00:43:24,368 --> 00:43:27,237
Only one other man has held
the Heritage Cup more than once.

697
00:43:27,304 --> 00:43:29,206
As Dempsey might just lose it here.

698
00:43:29,273 --> 00:43:32,443
And a kickout five seconds
into round number five.

699
00:43:32,509 --> 00:43:35,946
And the boy, as you said earlier,
getting bouncy, the young OG.

700
00:43:36,013 --> 00:43:39,650
Je'Von Evans taking it to Charlie Dempsey.
Dempsey answering right back.

701
00:43:39,717 --> 00:43:40,751
As strong as Evans.

702
00:43:40,818 --> 00:43:44,688
[Book] Championship rounds right now,
Vic, we're in those deep, deep waters,

703
00:43:44,755 --> 00:43:48,392
Who's going to survive? Sink or swim?

704
00:43:48,459 --> 00:43:52,830
-Not right now, Vic. Here we go.
-That could be the knockout blow.

705
00:43:53,230 --> 00:43:56,867
It's 30 seconds into round five.
Again, this is a six-round matchup.

706
00:43:56,934 --> 00:43:57,868
If Evans can survive.

707
00:43:57,935 --> 00:44:00,804
Looking for that Dragon suplex again.
Doesn't work. Counter.

708
00:44:00,871 --> 00:44:04,241
Draw it down. And Evans
couldn't hold Dempsey.

709
00:44:04,308 --> 00:44:07,044
[Book] Man, what a hard hook, too.
Almost had it.

710
00:44:08,245 --> 00:44:12,082
-[Book] God, man.
-[Vic] Well, he got all that one Booker

711
00:44:12,282 --> 00:44:14,885
Now it's Dempsey
who's gotta worry about the clock.

712
00:44:14,952 --> 00:44:19,223
But he's got over two minutes to survive.
Flying through the air, Evans,

713
00:44:19,289 --> 00:44:24,228
but look how wise of Dempsey.
Rolling to his stomach, to the rope.

714
00:44:24,294 --> 00:44:26,964
Evans finally getting into a cover.
And what the…

715
00:44:27,931 --> 00:44:30,067
The referee saw what was happening.

716
00:44:30,401 --> 00:44:33,637
I will rule you out.

717
00:44:34,238 --> 00:44:35,739
The clock's running.

718
00:44:36,607 --> 00:44:38,042
Cedric's flying.

719
00:44:39,643 --> 00:44:41,111
Alexander's had enough.

720
00:44:41,178 --> 00:44:45,482
No Quarter Catch Crew has stuck their nose
in this match one too many times.

721
00:44:45,549 --> 00:44:48,619
-[Book] The hell was he thinking?
-[Vic] That he got to even the odds.

722
00:44:48,685 --> 00:44:52,089
[Vic] Now there's no one here for Je'Von.
German suplex doesn't connect.

723
00:44:52,156 --> 00:44:53,724
Evans lands on his feet.

724
00:44:55,092 --> 00:44:57,127
Just 90 seconds left in round five.

725
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:02,166
Dempsey up and over. This could be
that moment for Je'Von Evans.

726
00:45:02,933 --> 00:45:04,702
Buck 21 and counting.

727
00:45:04,768 --> 00:45:08,539
Round five tied at one. Going for it!

728
00:45:09,206 --> 00:45:12,209
[crowd screams in excitement]

729
00:45:16,413 --> 00:45:19,583
Evans just wiped out Dempsey.
Dempsey backing.

730
00:45:19,650 --> 00:45:22,219
What the hell is Wren Sinclair doing? Hey!

731
00:45:22,286 --> 00:45:24,188
[crowd screams in commotion]

732
00:45:24,254 --> 00:45:25,255
Booker,

733
00:45:26,623 --> 00:45:27,591
that's Tavion Heights!

734
00:45:27,658 --> 00:45:33,530
Heights is back from Japan.
Into the cover. The referee didn't see it.

735
00:45:33,597 --> 00:45:36,533
Dempsey is going to steal it.

736
00:45:37,267 --> 00:45:44,241
[announcer] Here is your winner
and still the NXT Heritage Cup champion,

737
00:45:44,875 --> 00:45:46,810
Charlie Dempsey.

738
00:45:46,877 --> 00:45:51,448
[Vic] Dempsey, with the help of others,
just retained his cup.

739
00:45:51,515 --> 00:45:57,054
This was the first decision that Dempsey
actually earned off that dragon suplex.

740
00:45:57,121 --> 00:45:58,822
You see that clock winding down.

741
00:45:58,889 --> 00:46:05,729
Je'Von Evans made the most of his time
in the air to pick up at that point

742
00:46:05,796 --> 00:46:08,665
a match-tying fall.
Referee distracted by Wren Sinclair.

743
00:46:08,732 --> 00:46:11,168
Cedric Alexander wiped out Miles Bourne.

744
00:46:11,235 --> 00:46:15,239
And the returning Tavion Heights
from Japan wiped out Je'Von Evans.

745
00:46:15,305 --> 00:46:17,040
The referee didn't see what happened.

746
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:19,510
Charlie Dempsey did,
slithered his way into the cover

747
00:46:19,576 --> 00:46:22,846
and retains his Heritage Cup.

748
00:46:22,913 --> 00:46:28,018
And now that Tavion is back from Japan,
Dempsey looks to take

749
00:46:28,085 --> 00:46:31,255
the No Quarter Catch Crew
possibly to new heights.

750
00:46:31,688 --> 00:46:34,658
Who you thought it was, baby? I'm back.

751
00:46:35,893 --> 00:46:37,761
[ominous music playing]

752
00:46:37,828 --> 00:46:40,230
[female narrator in a scary voice]
Once upon a time,

753
00:46:40,297 --> 00:46:46,703
the hive cried out and demanded
to know why their demon assassin

754
00:46:46,770 --> 00:46:50,774
and the sleepy psycho
had united under the shadow.

755
00:46:50,974 --> 00:46:53,977
[high-pitched distorted sounds]

756
00:46:54,344 --> 00:46:59,750
There are, of course, several reasons,
one to be revealed tonight,

757
00:46:59,950 --> 00:47:03,253
another to be saved till next week.
And one…

758
00:47:05,022 --> 00:47:09,126
serves as a warning to Lyra and Tatum.

759
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,795
You've made your bed,

760
00:47:13,463 --> 00:47:15,966
but did you happen to take a look

761
00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:18,168
at what's hiding

762
00:47:18,836 --> 00:47:20,003
beneath it?

763
00:47:20,070 --> 00:47:23,073
[screechy sounds]

764
00:47:23,473 --> 00:47:28,212
You never know
what's creeping behind that door.

765
00:47:29,746 --> 00:47:32,216
Perhaps it's not just
the glimmering moonlight

766
00:47:32,282 --> 00:47:37,621
lurking outside your bedroom window
while your eyes are shut.

767
00:47:39,156 --> 00:47:43,594
A lot can go wrong when you wake up
on the wrong side of the bed.

768
00:47:43,927 --> 00:47:46,563
But what's scarier than all that?

769
00:47:50,033 --> 00:47:52,636
Not having anyone to play with.

770
00:47:53,503 --> 00:47:56,506
[narrator laughs scarily]

771
00:48:08,752 --> 00:48:14,491
[Vic] From a demonic duo to a destroyer.
There is the North American champion.

772
00:48:14,558 --> 00:48:18,095
Who will the ruler of NXT face?
Find out next.

773
00:48:20,430 --> 00:48:22,032
[crowd boos]

774
00:48:22,432 --> 00:48:27,504
-Welcome back to…
-To NX me.

775
00:48:27,704 --> 00:48:31,408
Now, before Sarah here asks me
about tonight's last man standing match,

776
00:48:31,475 --> 00:48:37,347
I'd like to ask everyone at home
to take a good look at the NXT champion.

777
00:48:37,414 --> 00:48:42,219
The same man that should be thanked
for the era we are all currently living in

778
00:48:42,286 --> 00:48:45,155
and will continue to live in
after October 1st

779
00:48:45,222 --> 00:48:48,425
when we make our debut
on the CW Network in Chicago.

780
00:48:48,492 --> 00:48:54,965
And the man to thank for the Era of Ego
is me. All ego, Ethan Page.

781
00:48:55,032 --> 00:48:57,367
Last man standing match.
Who are you rooting for?

782
00:48:57,434 --> 00:48:58,902
Trick Williams or Pete Dunne?

783
00:48:59,069 --> 00:49:02,606
Well, everyone in this locker room
is deathly intimidated and afraid

784
00:49:02,673 --> 00:49:04,241
of Pete Dunne but not Ethan Page.

785
00:49:04,308 --> 00:49:08,178
I've already kind of figured out
the Bruiserweight to be honest with you.

786
00:49:08,345 --> 00:49:10,147
So, Trick Williams, then?

787
00:49:11,214 --> 00:49:15,986
No, Trick Williams is…
He's still chasing ghosts.

788
00:49:16,153 --> 00:49:19,323
The man was lucky enough to collect
lightning in a bottle once.

789
00:49:19,389 --> 00:49:21,291
He had the Whoop That Era, which…

790
00:49:21,725 --> 00:49:23,627
took this entire company by storm.

791
00:49:23,694 --> 00:49:28,065
But if you're asking me if I think Trick
can collect lightning in a bottle twice,

792
00:49:28,832 --> 00:49:30,267
you must be joking.

793
00:49:31,234 --> 00:49:34,638
-I'm confused. Who then?
-Am I rooting for?

794
00:49:34,838 --> 00:49:39,776
Oh, me. Myself. Oh, Sarah.

795
00:49:39,843 --> 00:49:43,347
Truly, I get to watch both of these men
absolutely demolish each other.

796
00:49:43,413 --> 00:49:46,183
It is a last man
standing match, after all.

797
00:49:46,350 --> 00:49:48,852
But after that. Oh, all I have to do

798
00:49:48,919 --> 00:49:55,225
on October 1st is pick up the scraps
of whoever truly is the last man standing.

799
00:49:55,659 --> 00:49:56,660
You're welcome,

800
00:49:58,562 --> 00:50:00,831
Vic, Booker, back to you.

801
00:50:01,465 --> 00:50:05,502
[Vic] Thanks, Sarah. Huge main event
still to come. How about this interaction?

802
00:50:05,569 --> 00:50:07,070
All eyes on NXT.

803
00:50:07,137 --> 00:50:10,574
Everyone wants to be part of our
highly anticipated launch on the CW.

804
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,311
WWE Women's Tag Team Champions
freshed off their defense last night

805
00:50:14,378 --> 00:50:18,281
with a back and forth with Shawn Michaels.
It looks like Jade and Belair

806
00:50:18,348 --> 00:50:24,154
are gonna be in Chicago
with us on October 1st on the CW.

807
00:50:27,457 --> 00:50:30,460
["Hands of Fate" is playing]

808
00:50:31,495 --> 00:50:33,163
And speaking of the CW,

809
00:50:33,330 --> 00:50:39,002
there's no doubt that Oba Femi
is part of the excitement surrounding NXT.

810
00:50:40,037 --> 00:50:43,040
["Hands of Fate" continues playing]

811
00:50:54,418 --> 00:50:55,552
[bell rings]

812
00:50:55,619 --> 00:50:58,488
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

813
00:50:58,655 --> 00:51:05,295
Introducing first, he is
the NXT North American champion.

814
00:51:05,896 --> 00:51:08,899
Oba Femi!

815
00:51:09,332 --> 00:51:14,204
[Vic] I don't know who will be able
to take the title off Oba Femi

816
00:51:14,271 --> 00:51:18,775
before we get to Chicago.
And NXT becomes the only WWE brand

817
00:51:18,842 --> 00:51:24,047
on broadcast television on the CW
starting October 1st.

818
00:51:24,114 --> 00:51:27,984
What a time to be Oba Femi because tonight
he's not here to defend his title.

819
00:51:29,319 --> 00:51:35,559
He's here to continue to prove
that he is, in fact, the ruler of NXT.

820
00:51:35,625 --> 00:51:39,229
And the question is,
who has Tony D'Angelo found?

821
00:51:39,396 --> 00:51:43,567
Who has he paid to try
to conquer the unconquerable?

822
00:51:43,633 --> 00:51:46,803
[Book] You see that envelope?
That was a grip dog.

823
00:51:47,571 --> 00:51:50,574
[heavy rock music playing]

824
00:51:56,713 --> 00:51:59,716
[crowd cheers excitedly]

825
00:52:03,453 --> 00:52:05,589
[announcer] And his opponent,

826
00:52:06,356 --> 00:52:10,727
-Hammerstone!
-[Vic] Look who the Don found.

827
00:52:11,061 --> 00:52:13,864
Certainly a man with a reputation.

828
00:52:16,733 --> 00:52:19,970
TNA wrestler Hammerstone.

829
00:52:23,807 --> 00:52:27,310
Take a look. What's the thing
you say about meat?

830
00:52:28,111 --> 00:52:35,652
[Book] No bread, no water, just meat.
That man. Oh, my God.

831
00:52:36,052 --> 00:52:40,323
[Vic] I mean, I'm just in awe staring
at these two individuals.

832
00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:43,994
And I mean, Booker, at first glance,

833
00:52:45,529 --> 00:52:50,267
how do you see this one playing out?
I mean, this is power versus power.

834
00:52:50,433 --> 00:52:54,037
[Book] I tell you, both of these guys
got a lot of strength, Vic.

835
00:52:54,104 --> 00:52:56,907
But I'm gonna tell you this.
This Hammerstone, he's…

836
00:52:56,973 --> 00:52:59,009
…different. He's been around a while.

837
00:52:59,075 --> 00:53:03,747
He's been champion everywhere he's going,
and he chiseled out of granite.

838
00:53:04,047 --> 00:53:05,949
Oh, big shot.

839
00:53:06,550 --> 00:53:08,285
[Vic] Quite a right hand by Oba Femi.

840
00:53:08,351 --> 00:53:12,022
Not afraid of any challenge.
No fear ever in Oba Femi.

841
00:53:12,088 --> 00:53:16,226
Remember when he sat at The Don's table
at The Don's restaurant?

842
00:53:16,293 --> 00:53:18,328
No fear in Oba.

843
00:53:19,029 --> 00:53:23,300
Oh, Oba might be done playing games.
Blocking the hip toss, Hammerstone

844
00:53:23,366 --> 00:53:26,203
now gets hoisted up,
able to slip down the back.

845
00:53:26,403 --> 00:53:29,906
And this time, if at first
you don't succeed, try again.

846
00:53:30,073 --> 00:53:33,276
[Book] It's going to be a big test
for global Femi here tonight.

847
00:53:33,343 --> 00:53:36,680
He's had that cloak of invincibility
since day one.

848
00:53:36,746 --> 00:53:38,548
Tonight it could be a little different.

849
00:53:38,615 --> 00:53:42,752
Well, speaking of which, there is
the Don, there is the Family looking on.

850
00:53:42,819 --> 00:53:46,590
They paid a lot of money, it looked like,
as you mentioned, the size of that

851
00:53:46,656 --> 00:53:53,530
-envelope, what you call it, a grip?
-A grip. Oh yes. Gloom green Duncan man.

852
00:53:53,597 --> 00:53:56,533
Juicy headstone.
I mean the size of this man.

853
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,070
Just flying off the top
and then rocking Oba Femi to the outside.

854
00:54:01,771 --> 00:54:04,474
Say, this is going to be
the ultimate test for Obi.

855
00:54:04,541 --> 00:54:08,878
We see him line up
and Oba Femi just knocked him down.

856
00:54:08,945 --> 00:54:13,650
I don't think we've ever seen Oba
in this type of trouble this early, Vic.

857
00:54:13,717 --> 00:54:18,288
-[Book] Oh, big shot.
-[Vic] And with one slap,

858
00:54:20,690 --> 00:54:26,529
Oba Femi just dropped what appears
to be about 250 pounds of armor.

859
00:54:26,596 --> 00:54:29,799
-And then just from behind.
-Yes, indeed, he's a specimen.

860
00:54:29,866 --> 00:54:31,901
[Book] This, this hammer.

861
00:54:31,968 --> 00:54:37,240
Now, Oba Femi just doing
what he does best, breaking the pain, man.

862
00:54:37,307 --> 00:54:39,476
I want to bring this up
after what you said.

863
00:54:39,542 --> 00:54:41,911
Is Oba Femi continuing
to decimate Hammers?

864
00:54:41,978 --> 00:54:44,948
I mean who can you honestly,
after seeing moves

865
00:54:45,015 --> 00:54:48,285
like this, who can you
honestly compare over to.

866
00:54:48,351 --> 00:54:51,521
And I don't mean size,
I don't mean strength, I mean confidence.

867
00:54:51,588 --> 00:54:54,024
I mean in what he has accomplished. He won

868
00:54:54,090 --> 00:54:57,761
the North American title, Booker,
in five matches.

869
00:54:57,827 --> 00:55:00,096
Can you compare him to anyone
you've been around?

870
00:55:00,363 --> 00:55:03,566
[Book] No, I was just talking
about this inside… Whoa, big shot.

871
00:55:03,633 --> 00:55:05,702
I was talking about this
in the Hall of Fame.

872
00:55:05,769 --> 00:55:10,106
Just last week, that one guy
came along and took this business by storm

873
00:55:10,173 --> 00:55:15,345
the unpredictable, indestructible
Goldberg. That, that will be the guy.

874
00:55:15,412 --> 00:55:18,548
He's doing it differently, though,
a little bit different.

875
00:55:18,615 --> 00:55:21,117
Longevity. That's what I think
he's thinking about.

876
00:55:21,184 --> 00:55:23,053
[Vic] Only now just wearing down.

877
00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:27,357
I mean that's a hell of a comparison
from you of who you just said Oba

878
00:55:27,424 --> 00:55:30,260
reminds you of early on in his career.
And he's continued

879
00:55:30,327 --> 00:55:33,930
to prove yourself right.
I mean last week he dropped Stacks, right?

880
00:55:33,997 --> 00:55:38,968
-[Vic] He dropped him in front of The Don.
-[Book] That was a message to the Don.

881
00:55:39,035 --> 00:55:41,438
You want some, you got to come get some.

882
00:55:41,504 --> 00:55:44,808
But like I said, you better be
bad enough to take. You gotta back it up.

883
00:55:44,874 --> 00:55:48,645
[Vic] Not an easy task here tonight
for Hammerstone, who accepted the pay.

884
00:55:48,712 --> 00:55:52,382
He just yoked up Oba, who got to his feet,
slithered down the back.

885
00:55:52,615 --> 00:55:56,486
Now he picked up Hammerstone
and just tossing

886
00:55:57,420 --> 00:56:00,890
his opponent tonight
into the cover Hooks the leg.

887
00:56:00,957 --> 00:56:03,960
and another near fall,
that right shoulder just coming

888
00:56:04,027 --> 00:56:07,430
off the mat.
Again, the power of Oba Femi.

889
00:56:07,497 --> 00:56:11,301
[Book] Big shot right there.
That was a lazy kick out by Hammerstone.

890
00:56:11,468 --> 00:56:14,204
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.

891
00:56:14,471 --> 00:56:17,774
[Vic] Hammerstone showing some power.
Now showing some elusiveness.

892
00:56:17,941 --> 00:56:19,175
Back to his feet.

893
00:56:20,310 --> 00:56:21,945
Can he hoist Oba?

894
00:56:23,246 --> 00:56:24,848
[Book laughs wickedly]

895
00:56:24,914 --> 00:56:25,915
[Book] Yeah.

896
00:56:28,451 --> 00:56:31,421
Battle of strength early on
and it's Oba Femi

897
00:56:31,488 --> 00:56:33,923
who comes out on top for a moment.

898
00:56:33,990 --> 00:56:38,895
Don did not take kindly to how Oba Femi
has shown a lack of respect

899
00:56:39,562 --> 00:56:40,797
to the Family.

900
00:56:41,831 --> 00:56:45,969
Has hired a henchman tonight
in Hammerstone who could be on the verge

901
00:56:46,035 --> 00:56:49,539
of making the Don a very,

902
00:56:50,707 --> 00:56:53,009
very happy individual.

903
00:56:54,744 --> 00:56:58,381
Starting to bring the fight now,
Hammerstone. Nice reversal by Oba.

904
00:56:58,448 --> 00:57:02,852
Oba, though, couldn't connect.
And Hammerstone just dropped Oba Femi.

905
00:57:02,919 --> 00:57:05,555
[Book] I like the physical attributes
of Hammerstone.

906
00:57:05,622 --> 00:57:08,591
And the thing is, he's elusive as well.

907
00:57:08,658 --> 00:57:13,463
He's not just one truck, one trick pony
or anything like that. Oh, big shot

908
00:57:14,664 --> 00:57:16,065
[Vic] Showing that power.

909
00:57:16,566 --> 00:57:19,435
A couple overhead belly-to-belly suplexes.

910
00:57:20,236 --> 00:57:22,505
What could be on Hammerstone's mind?

911
00:57:23,173 --> 00:57:25,341
Maybe that nightmare pendulum

912
00:57:26,009 --> 00:57:31,047
instead hits a choke slam.
Cover, count and almost.

913
00:57:32,816 --> 00:57:37,320
Handing Oba Femi
his first taste of defeat.

914
00:57:38,121 --> 00:57:39,722
[Book] That was close, Vic.

915
00:57:39,789 --> 00:57:42,759
[Vic] And now maybe looking
for it over though, sensing it.

916
00:57:42,826 --> 00:57:48,398
And like we always see from North American
champions, able to overpower.

917
00:57:48,565 --> 00:57:53,937
-And now just toss it.
-Wow, the power. The power of Oba Femi.

918
00:57:54,103 --> 00:57:58,141
-[Book] Oh, here we go. Here we go.
-[Vic] In his zone.

919
00:57:58,208 --> 00:58:03,847
[Vic] And it appears another plan
of the times has a fall from grace.

920
00:58:03,913 --> 00:58:04,914
[bell rings]

921
00:58:06,449 --> 00:58:11,855
[announcer] Here is your winner,
the NXT North American champion

922
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:15,058
Oba Femi.

923
00:58:16,726 --> 00:58:21,598
[Vic] Even with the target on his back,
you see Tony D'Angelo.

924
00:58:22,298 --> 00:58:28,738
The Don not happy with the results
here tonight on NXT.

925
00:58:31,774 --> 00:58:33,576
Hank and Tank don't make excuses,

926
00:58:33,643 --> 00:58:35,812
but we want our mitts
on Gallows and Anderson.

927
00:58:35,879 --> 00:58:38,982
The Good Brothers are on the track
and the Hank & Tank train

928
00:58:39,048 --> 00:58:41,017
-is coming through and it sounds…
-Wait.

929
00:58:42,085 --> 00:58:45,622
Look, I will talk to Ava.
I'll take care of this for you, all right?

930
00:58:46,055 --> 00:58:48,391
-Honk, honk.
-They want to do the honk.

931
00:58:50,226 --> 00:58:55,632
Ridge Holland, you were nothing
more to me than low life scum.

932
00:58:55,832 --> 00:58:59,469
Your words against our university.
Your actions against Andre Chase.

933
00:58:59,536 --> 00:59:01,170
Inexcusable.

934
00:59:01,237 --> 00:59:04,440
Now, before I get my revenge on you,
I need to speak to one man:

935
00:59:04,507 --> 00:59:06,676
Andre Chase. Chase, I know you lay there

936
00:59:06,743 --> 00:59:09,679
uncomfortable in your hospital bed,
but I need you sat up.

937
00:59:09,746 --> 00:59:11,881
I need your eyes glued to the TV,

938
00:59:12,048 --> 00:59:16,753
because I am about to give Ridge Holland
one hell of an Andre Chase University

939
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,123
sized ass whipping!

940
00:59:23,259 --> 00:59:25,428
-Girl, Jordynne who? Let's get it.
-All right.

941
00:59:26,663 --> 00:59:27,664
Let's go.

942
00:59:29,232 --> 00:59:34,304
Knockout's title or your title?
Which one should I go for first?

943
00:59:34,470 --> 00:59:39,108
Connie, have you ever thought about
doing one of these open challenges?

944
00:59:39,175 --> 00:59:43,780
It's a good idea, but unfortunately, Rin,
I'm not holding an open challenge tonight.

945
00:59:43,846 --> 00:59:46,349
So maybe you should focus
on the girl that is.

946
00:59:46,416 --> 00:59:47,917
Wren QCC.

947
00:59:50,853 --> 00:59:52,722
Bye. Remember, you're a cage fighter.

948
00:59:52,789 --> 00:59:55,825
-You got this.
-Y'all seen Fatal Influence in here?

949
00:59:55,892 --> 00:59:58,861
Nah, they dipped after I called them out.

950
00:59:59,262 --> 01:00:02,231
But listen, I've got
a big problem with them.

951
01:00:02,298 --> 01:00:05,868
-And clearly you do too.
-Baby, right now I'm not looking for help.

952
01:00:05,935 --> 01:00:07,370
I am looking for them.

953
01:00:07,537 --> 01:00:11,307
Well, after last week, it obviously looked
like you needed some.

954
01:00:11,674 --> 01:00:14,377
I'm gonna deal with you later.

955
01:00:16,613 --> 01:00:19,115
Somebody needs to hammer
those Fatal Influence girls.

956
01:00:19,182 --> 01:00:21,784
And you and Jaida
are the perfect ones to do it.

957
01:00:21,851 --> 01:00:24,354
-But you heard her, right?
-I did.

958
01:00:25,355 --> 01:00:29,425
[Vic] We've talked about all eyes on NXT.
What if the best in the world

959
01:00:29,492 --> 01:00:32,729
who was impressed with Giulia's
NXT debut earlier tonight?

960
01:00:32,795 --> 01:00:34,797
And am I reading this right, Booker?

961
01:00:34,864 --> 01:00:39,569
I wonder how that phone call
is going to go between CM Punk and Ava,

962
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:41,671
our general manager here in NXT.

963
01:00:41,738 --> 01:00:43,773
[Book] Something's a'brewing.

964
01:01:03,393 --> 01:01:04,394
[bell rings]

965
01:01:04,460 --> 01:01:07,497
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

966
01:01:07,563 --> 01:01:11,501
Introducing first Ridge Holland.

967
01:01:12,301 --> 01:01:13,302
Go ahead, Book.

968
01:01:14,570 --> 01:01:15,571
Hello!

969
01:01:16,239 --> 01:01:20,043
-[Book] What are you talking about?
-[Vic] Tell me how I was wrong.

970
01:01:20,209 --> 01:01:23,279
How we were all foolish. Speak your mind.

971
01:01:23,346 --> 01:01:26,149
Tell us you were right.
Pat yourself on the back.

972
01:01:26,215 --> 01:01:28,551
[Book] I can't say this.
This proves my point.

973
01:01:28,851 --> 01:01:33,790
It proves, man, but I was just telling
them like it is. And that's fine.

974
01:01:34,090 --> 01:01:35,725
That's fine, dog.

975
01:01:38,327 --> 01:01:40,897
You heard Duke Hudson say that.

976
01:01:40,963 --> 01:01:43,833
-Andre Chase…
-[Book] You want to give me an apology?

977
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,905
-You want to make an apology right here?
-[Vic] For what? That you were right?

978
01:01:48,971 --> 01:01:50,173
-Yes.
-You were.

979
01:01:50,239 --> 01:01:52,475
-Thank you very much.
-Is that what you wanted?

980
01:01:52,542 --> 01:01:55,278
Does that make you happy?
You want me to kiss your rings?

981
01:01:56,279 --> 01:01:59,582
[Vic] Get that out of my face.
Get out of here. I didn't… Stop.

982
01:02:00,249 --> 01:02:04,821
[announcer] And his opponent,
representing Chase University.

983
01:02:06,355 --> 01:02:11,861
-Duke Hudson!
-[Vic] Can the MVP step up tonight?

984
01:02:12,628 --> 01:02:17,667
[Book] I'm going tell you right now
the MVP has no choice but to step up

985
01:02:17,734 --> 01:02:20,303
because Andre Chase's nowhere
around to step up.

986
01:02:20,369 --> 01:02:23,506
The only person that steps up in, in
this, in this,

987
01:02:23,573 --> 01:02:27,043
in this university is this one man
who should be the president.

988
01:02:27,110 --> 01:02:28,010
[Vic] Here we go.

989
01:02:28,077 --> 01:02:30,113
Referee's going to have his hands full.

990
01:02:30,179 --> 01:02:34,317
And you saw the MVP trophy handed over
to Riley Osborne on the outside.

991
01:02:34,383 --> 01:02:36,352
Hudson wants some extra motivation

992
01:02:36,419 --> 01:02:39,889
after Ridge Holland
destroyed his trophy last week.

993
01:02:39,956 --> 01:02:44,060
And as I was saying, Duke Hudson
said Andre Chase's still in hospital.

994
01:02:44,127 --> 01:02:47,330
Very little is known
about the injury status to Andrew Chase.

995
01:02:47,396 --> 01:02:49,632
Chase U though
keeping it close to the fest.

996
01:02:49,899 --> 01:02:53,302
All we know is Chase is still in hospital
and thanks the NXT Universe

997
01:02:54,237 --> 01:02:58,341
and gives everyone a thank you
for their well wishes as right now

998
01:02:58,407 --> 01:03:01,144
it's Duke Hudson just looking to… Whoa!

999
01:03:01,677 --> 01:03:03,112
Beat the hell

1000
01:03:03,746 --> 01:03:06,816
out of Ridge Holland, and it's Duke Hudson

1001
01:03:07,783 --> 01:03:09,552
who could be seeing

1002
01:03:10,553 --> 01:03:12,388
Chase U red and oh,

1003
01:03:16,159 --> 01:03:17,426
Ridge Holland.

1004
01:03:19,595 --> 01:03:22,765
I don't know where to go.
You're not letting me out, left or right.

1005
01:03:23,466 --> 01:03:25,568
They're right here
in front of me. You get up.

1006
01:03:25,735 --> 01:03:27,436
I don't want to get caught in this.

1007
01:03:28,938 --> 01:03:32,942
Ridge back into the ring as we try
to regroup ourselves here ringside.

1008
01:03:33,009 --> 01:03:38,214
We did say it would be Duke Hudson
who would be seeing red tonight.

1009
01:03:38,281 --> 01:03:44,120
Hudson now looking to go up, to go over,
to hit that German suplex.

1010
01:03:47,523 --> 01:03:50,927
And if I'm to give you credit,
I got to give Hudson credit. He was right.

1011
01:03:50,993 --> 01:03:52,495
Riley was right.

1012
01:03:52,562 --> 01:03:54,263
Ridge duked a lot of people.

1013
01:03:54,330 --> 01:03:57,300
But Duke is still fighting
for his university.

1014
01:03:57,366 --> 01:03:59,735
Duke is still fighting for his profession.

1015
01:03:59,802 --> 01:04:05,575
[Book] Anybody you can blame, but it's
Thea Hail, Andre Chase in the whole damn

1016
01:04:05,641 --> 01:04:10,479
university for letting this man
into the university from the beginning.

1017
01:04:10,546 --> 01:04:14,016
-[Book] Do you agree with me on that?
-Thea Hail does not want Duke Hudson

1018
01:04:14,083 --> 01:04:17,687
again disqualified
and Ridge Holland taking advantage.

1019
01:04:17,753 --> 01:04:20,423
I won't agree all night.
You had your time. You got your due.

1020
01:04:20,489 --> 01:04:21,791
Leave it alone.

1021
01:04:21,857 --> 01:04:27,930
As Ridge Holland now right in
to the lower back of Duke Hudson

1022
01:04:27,997 --> 01:04:29,932
spine first and take a look, Booker.

1023
01:04:29,999 --> 01:04:32,401
Take a look at Riley Osborne.
Look up from the monitor.

1024
01:04:34,937 --> 01:04:36,372
Something happened to Osborne,

1025
01:04:36,439 --> 01:04:42,678
our official from the back helping
Riley and now it is Ridge Holland

1026
01:04:43,879 --> 01:04:45,815
who is going to unleash hell.

1027
01:04:45,881 --> 01:04:51,921
I'm sure on Duke Hudson it was Holland
who called Duke a spoiled threat.

1028
01:04:51,988 --> 01:04:54,957
And instead of going for the cover
instead of going for the three,

1029
01:04:55,024 --> 01:04:57,927
he's right now just beating
down Duke, liking it.

1030
01:04:57,994 --> 01:05:04,100
[Book] You got to give him some credit.
He took the university to gold, man.

1031
01:05:04,166 --> 01:05:06,636
Something that they hadn't done
in quite some time.

1032
01:05:06,702 --> 01:05:09,305
And who messed it up? Who messed it up?

1033
01:05:10,406 --> 01:05:12,041
I see where you're coming from.

1034
01:05:12,108 --> 01:05:14,844
And obviously you agree
with what Holland said last week,

1035
01:05:14,910 --> 01:05:20,116
that he wasn't appreciated by Chase U,
he wasn't welcomed on the campus.

1036
01:05:20,283 --> 01:05:21,284
I don't buy that.

1037
01:05:22,952 --> 01:05:25,788
[Book] Nobody wanted him.
Nobody wanted him here.

1038
01:05:25,855 --> 01:05:30,059
And then all of a sudden,
he was a great guy. Come on, Vic.

1039
01:05:31,627 --> 01:05:34,397
[Vic] Another knee
right to the side of the face.

1040
01:05:34,463 --> 01:05:38,868
And you wonder how he felt watching
those titles be defended earlier tonight.

1041
01:05:38,935 --> 01:05:40,403
That being Ridge Holland.

1042
01:05:40,469 --> 01:05:43,306
Took him six years
to finally win a championship.

1043
01:05:43,372 --> 01:05:47,476
And as you pointed out, it only took one
night for Chase University to lose it.

1044
01:05:47,543 --> 01:05:49,412
As Hudson fighting back.

1045
01:05:50,179 --> 01:05:54,717
-[Book] Would you be upset about that?
-Rolling, shoulders down. Near fall.

1046
01:05:54,784 --> 01:05:58,220
Yeah, I would be upset.
But, you know, maybe hindsight's 20 20.

1047
01:05:58,287 --> 01:06:00,690
Probably feeling better
after what The Bloodline did

1048
01:06:00,756 --> 01:06:03,159
when they came out of nowhere
and wreaked havoc.

1049
01:06:03,225 --> 01:06:07,330
Just like Ridge Holland did. At No Mercy.
But it's Duke Hudson now. Swing it.

1050
01:06:07,396 --> 01:06:10,599
-Got caught, though, by Ridge.
-[Book] Oh, wow.

1051
01:06:14,637 --> 01:06:19,575
And there comes Ridge Holland again,
showing that strength. Ooh,

1052
01:06:20,176 --> 01:06:22,778
and Holland not to look
in the eyes of Ridge.

1053
01:06:22,845 --> 01:06:26,682
You remember the look in Ridge's eyes
in Denver. It was scary.

1054
01:06:27,883 --> 01:06:33,723
And now, center of the ring, Ridge Holland
with that redeemer and all by himself,

1055
01:06:33,789 --> 01:06:37,426
he continues to destroy Chase University.

1056
01:06:37,493 --> 01:06:38,494
[bell rings]

1057
01:06:39,595 --> 01:06:41,330
[announcer] Here is your winner,

1058
01:06:41,397 --> 01:06:44,400
Ridge Holland!

1059
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,268
[Vic] And he's not done yet.

1060
01:06:49,772 --> 01:06:53,809
-[Book] It's personal.
-[Vic] Come on, ref.

1061
01:06:54,744 --> 01:06:58,381
We're gonna need more referees.
We need some of that security

1062
01:06:59,415 --> 01:07:02,184
that was with Trick Williams
and Pete Dunne.

1063
01:07:02,251 --> 01:07:03,285
[Book] Pack it up.

1064
01:07:10,226 --> 01:07:13,229
[crowd exclaims in amazement]

1065
01:07:22,638 --> 01:07:27,176
I feel bad for Thea having to watch this
because she believed in Ridge Holland.

1066
01:07:27,243 --> 01:07:32,181
Ridge Holland made her believe in herself
but now is destroying everything.

1067
01:07:36,352 --> 01:07:37,887
This unhinged,

1068
01:07:38,654 --> 01:07:42,324
rageful, remorseless Ridge Holland.

1069
01:07:44,260 --> 01:07:45,261
Come on, ref!

1070
01:07:49,365 --> 01:07:53,736
Stop it!

1071
01:07:58,207 --> 01:08:00,309
[Referee] Come on. I need help!

1072
01:08:15,224 --> 01:08:17,760
[Vic] While we try to get things
figured out here ringside,

1073
01:08:17,927 --> 01:08:20,529
we are set

1074
01:08:21,030 --> 01:08:26,402
for the TNA Knockouts Open Challenge.
Who will answer Jordynne Grace? Next.

1075
01:08:30,806 --> 01:08:35,377
True. This all started
when I told you to figure it out.

1076
01:08:37,046 --> 01:08:38,581
Well, look at my face.

1077
01:08:39,248 --> 01:08:44,053
This is the face of a man who's been
figuring it out his whole life.

1078
01:08:44,220 --> 01:08:49,859
Last night, I took on three geezers, flew
all night, rocked up, ready for a scrap.

1079
01:08:49,925 --> 01:08:53,529
And you can hide behind your distracts,
and you can hide behind those people

1080
01:08:53,596 --> 01:08:59,101
out there that you think have your back.
But when I leave, head held high,

1081
01:08:59,168 --> 01:09:03,572
and they pull you out of here
on a stretcher, you can lay there

1082
01:09:03,639 --> 01:09:06,842
and you can just think to yourself
that no matter how hard you tried,

1083
01:09:07,743 --> 01:09:09,545
you just couldn't figure it out.

1084
01:09:10,579 --> 01:09:16,852
And then watch me. I go on to Chicago,
I beat Ethan Page and become

1085
01:09:17,586 --> 01:09:22,458
NXT champion. Because I'm not just
the last man standing tonight.

1086
01:09:23,259 --> 01:09:29,932
I'm the Bruiserweight.
And I'm NXT's Last Man Standing.

1087
01:09:30,833 --> 01:09:34,537
[Vic] Massive main event still to come.
But Booker, this is some breaking news.

1088
01:09:34,603 --> 01:09:37,406
Our CW debut
keeps getting bigger and bigger

1089
01:09:37,473 --> 01:09:40,709
as the most must see talk show
in WWE history.

1090
01:09:40,776 --> 01:09:45,147
History is coming to Chicago
Miz TV on NXT.

1091
01:09:45,214 --> 01:09:49,552
And to steal a quote from the Miz,
it's going to be awesome.

1092
01:09:49,618 --> 01:09:54,223
Something that wasn't awesome to some
happened earlier tonight, of course.

1093
01:09:54,290 --> 01:09:57,826
We kicked off tonight
with the NXT tag team titles on the line.

1094
01:09:57,893 --> 01:10:01,330
Smackdown's Street Profits
taking on Axiom and Fraser.

1095
01:10:01,397 --> 01:10:07,236
And just as Montez Ford looked
to be closing in on the NXT tag team title

1096
01:10:07,303 --> 01:10:10,806
don't adjust your screens
because the Bloodline arrived.

1097
01:10:10,873 --> 01:10:17,246
They wreaked havoc and they destroyed
everything in their path here tonight.

1098
01:10:20,449 --> 01:10:24,720
The bloodline making
their presence felt here on NXT.

1099
01:10:24,787 --> 01:10:27,990
And it was not the way we thought
we were going to start the night.

1100
01:10:29,124 --> 01:10:34,730
With the Bloodline arriving and decimating
not only the NXT tag team champions,

1101
01:10:34,797 --> 01:10:36,232
Nathan Frazer and Axiom,

1102
01:10:36,298 --> 01:10:40,469
but also Montez Ford
and Angelo Dawkins.

1103
01:10:40,536 --> 01:10:46,041
We know the issues run deep between
the Bloodline and The Street Profits.

1104
01:10:46,108 --> 01:10:51,180
And they continue here tonight
as we kicked off NXT.

1105
01:10:51,246 --> 01:10:55,184
We talk about the tag team championship
match earlier tonight, as the Bloodline

1106
01:10:55,251 --> 01:10:57,586
stood tall as we started the evening,

1107
01:10:57,653 --> 01:11:00,623
there was no one standing after that.

1108
01:11:00,689 --> 01:11:05,494
[Book] It's about to get busy. I love it.
I love the action. I love it.

1109
01:11:05,561 --> 01:11:08,497
We talk about the tag team matchup.
Street Profits we talked about.

1110
01:11:08,564 --> 01:11:09,765
It was supposed to be,

1111
01:11:09,832 --> 01:11:12,735
if you remember,
Trey, Miguel and Zachary Wentz.

1112
01:11:12,801 --> 01:11:18,173
The Rascals earned that championship
opportunity last week to have the…

1113
01:11:19,041 --> 01:11:21,610
championship matchup tonight.

1114
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:25,881
Hey, Zack!

1115
01:11:26,715 --> 01:11:31,687
Zach? So you and I both know
why Trey has not competed tonight.

1116
01:11:31,887 --> 01:11:35,524
And I'm that reason.
See, it started with you and I.

1117
01:11:35,691 --> 01:11:40,829
It's going to end with you and I
in Chicago. CW matchup.

1118
01:11:40,896 --> 01:11:43,565
I end this in a street fight.

1119
01:11:46,835 --> 01:11:49,738
That's a call out, Vic.
That's what that is.

1120
01:11:52,474 --> 01:11:56,478
I couldn't hear what you said.
He ripped my headset off. What'd you say?

1121
01:12:07,222 --> 01:12:13,595
[announcer] The following is a TNA
Knockouts Championship open challenge.

1122
01:12:14,430 --> 01:12:22,404
Introducing the TNA Knockouts Champion,
Jordynne Grace!

1123
01:12:24,606 --> 01:12:26,542
[Vic] Why don't they ever mess with you?

1124
01:12:26,709 --> 01:12:34,316
[Book] Cuz of 250 miles of stomping,
grave digging, destruction Jack.

1125
01:12:34,983 --> 01:12:39,421
[Vic] Jordynne Grace, you have to give
her credit. She knows it's WWE week.

1126
01:12:39,488 --> 01:12:44,193
She issued an open challenge
for the TNA Knockouts Championship.

1127
01:12:44,259 --> 01:12:48,497
Who will it be? The locker room
has been buzzing all week.

1128
01:12:48,564 --> 01:12:51,734
[Book] Buzzing for a reason too, Vic.
A shot at the gold.

1129
01:13:01,076 --> 01:13:06,815
[announcer] And her opponent, Sol Ruca.

1130
01:13:07,549 --> 01:13:11,220
[Vic] Sol Ruca calling
her shots here tonight.

1131
01:13:12,588 --> 01:13:15,624
[Book] Like Wes Lee just did.
He called the shot.

1132
01:13:15,691 --> 01:13:18,594
That's what I was saying.
You didn't know?

1133
01:13:19,495 --> 01:13:23,298
Oh, beautiful.
It's going to be a big night for Sol Ruca.

1134
01:13:23,465 --> 01:13:24,566
Step up time.

1135
01:13:24,633 --> 01:13:29,638
I mean, Jordynne Grace is stepping
into the backyard of all of NXT.

1136
01:13:29,705 --> 01:13:33,108
And you got to love
the confidence in Jordynne Grace.

1137
01:13:33,308 --> 01:13:34,443
[Vic] Jordynne Grace,

1138
01:13:34,510 --> 01:13:38,747
no stranger to crossing the line here
on NXT, was in the Women's Royal Rumble

1139
01:13:38,814 --> 01:13:42,584
this past January,
of course made history this past June

1140
01:13:42,651 --> 01:13:47,623
at Battleground, and once again
making history here tonight.

1141
01:13:47,689 --> 01:13:52,394
The TNA Knockouts Championship
being defended on NXT.

1142
01:13:53,195 --> 01:13:55,297
Sol Ruca answering this challenge.

1143
01:13:55,364 --> 01:14:00,536
How is Ruca different than those
who have challenged Jordynne Grace?

1144
01:14:00,602 --> 01:14:04,840
[Book] Honestly, Sol Ruca's
a special talent. She's moving up quick,

1145
01:14:04,907 --> 01:14:09,912
but I don't think it's anything
that Jordynne Grace hadn't seen before.

1146
01:14:10,345 --> 01:14:12,347
[crowd chants]

1147
01:14:13,115 --> 01:14:15,918
[Vic] Very vocal.
NXT Universe here tonight.

1148
01:14:15,984 --> 01:14:18,554
And Grace just able
to roll out of the way.

1149
01:14:18,620 --> 01:14:22,925
Of course, Grace has successfully defended
the Championship against superstars

1150
01:14:22,991 --> 01:14:28,697
such as Izzi Dame, Tatum Paxley,
most recently Karmen Petrovic.

1151
01:14:28,864 --> 01:14:32,201
[Book] I like how Jordynne Grace
just slowed down the momentum right there.

1152
01:14:32,267 --> 01:14:38,941
Seemed like Sol Ruca was trying
to get a little momentum and stopped.

1153
01:14:39,007 --> 01:14:40,476
[Vic] That's Ruca's game, right?

1154
01:14:40,542 --> 01:14:42,845
To pick up the momentum,
keep moving, never stop

1155
01:14:42,911 --> 01:14:47,749
use that athleticism,
use that tumbling ability and… Oh!

1156
01:14:47,816 --> 01:14:51,320
Just got flipped inside out
by Jordynne Grace.

1157
01:14:51,386 --> 01:14:54,122
[Book] Showing a little tumbling ability
of her own.

1158
01:14:54,189 --> 01:14:57,759
[Vic] The Queen of the Mountain,
the first Knockouts Triple Crown winner

1159
01:14:57,826 --> 01:14:59,995
in control of this matchup early.

1160
01:15:00,062 --> 01:15:03,999
And she seemed ready
for anyone and anything here.

1161
01:15:04,066 --> 01:15:07,903
Big spine buster floats into the cover,
hook of the leg, and a near fall.

1162
01:15:07,970 --> 01:15:11,507
[Book] One thing that Sol Ruca's
gonna have to combat tonight

1163
01:15:11,573 --> 01:15:15,077
-is the power of Jordynne Grace.
-Jordynne Grace, we talk about history.

1164
01:15:15,244 --> 01:15:16,311
[Vic] According to

1165
01:15:17,212 --> 01:15:20,682
my knowledge, this is her 15th defense
of that Knockouts title.

1166
01:15:20,749 --> 01:15:23,819
The record would be 17.
Is now trying to overpower Sol Ruca.

1167
01:15:23,886 --> 01:15:26,522
Ruca doing her best to drop her hips,
shift her weight,

1168
01:15:26,588 --> 01:15:30,692
-and she trying to overpower Grace.
-[Book] Jordynne Grace talks about how,

1169
01:15:30,759 --> 01:15:32,728
how much the championship means to her.

1170
01:15:32,794 --> 01:15:36,164
And her representing
that championship at the same time.

1171
01:15:39,535 --> 01:15:45,474
[Vic] Grace had one idea. Sol Ruca
was able to flip it on in and then flip

1172
01:15:45,541 --> 01:15:47,042
Jordynne Grace up and over.

1173
01:15:47,109 --> 01:15:52,114
And now it's Sol Ruca who's looking
to flip in her own right. Moonsault lands.

1174
01:15:52,180 --> 01:15:55,617
-[Vic] She sticks the landing. Gets a 10.
-[Book] Beautiful

1175
01:15:56,418 --> 01:15:58,253
[Book] It's Sol Ruca's wheelhouse here.

1176
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:03,959
Going up top, trying to put Jordynne Grace
in position to land that one big shot.

1177
01:16:05,294 --> 01:16:08,664
[Vic] Looking to fly
one more time. Big splash.

1178
01:16:08,730 --> 01:16:12,434
Will it be enough for the title?
And Grace just able to kick out.

1179
01:16:12,601 --> 01:16:16,939
Who's walking out tonight
with the TNA Knockouts Championship?

1180
01:16:18,974 --> 01:16:24,780
[Vic] Back live on NXT, it was Sol Ruca
who answered the open challenge

1181
01:16:24,846 --> 01:16:28,951
for the TNA Knockouts Championship
from its champion, Jordynne Grace.

1182
01:16:29,017 --> 01:16:31,653
And as you saw,
throughout the commercial break,

1183
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,390
this has been a competitive matchup.
But if Sol was on the water.

1184
01:16:35,457 --> 01:16:36,892
Oh, and a nice counter

1185
01:16:37,059 --> 01:16:40,996
No more surfs up. She's gonna have to find
an alternative route. She goes back up

1186
01:16:41,063 --> 01:16:45,567
Oh! Neck first off that top turnbuckle.

1187
01:16:45,634 --> 01:16:50,706
And take a look at Jordynne Grace
to your point, Booker, trying to turn…

1188
01:16:51,239 --> 01:16:54,009
Sol able to land on her feet,
able to counter once more.

1189
01:16:54,176 --> 01:16:55,544
Ruca coming right back in.

1190
01:16:55,611 --> 01:16:58,013
She has steadily
been improving on her game.

1191
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,450
Another superstar that came to the center
and climbed the ranks quickly.

1192
01:17:01,516 --> 01:17:03,952
Springboard caught Jordynne Grace.

1193
01:17:04,019 --> 01:17:05,854
Maybe didn't get everything she wanted.

1194
01:17:05,921 --> 01:17:08,557
She goes to the well one more time
on the high cross body.

1195
01:17:08,624 --> 01:17:11,593
And the momentum starting to swing to Sol.

1196
01:17:11,660 --> 01:17:13,662
[Book] Sol Ruca's on the move, Vic.

1197
01:17:13,729 --> 01:17:17,165
This is when she's at her best,
at her finest. Right here. What is it?

1198
01:17:17,232 --> 01:17:18,867
Whoa, whoa. Big shot.

1199
01:17:18,934 --> 01:17:21,003
[Vic] She's had a few setbacks
in her career.

1200
01:17:21,069 --> 01:17:24,439
Some ways, though, that could be good
to sit back, to reevaluate,

1201
01:17:24,506 --> 01:17:25,841
to start to pick your spot.

1202
01:17:25,907 --> 01:17:28,443
And she certainly has picked
a spot here tonight.

1203
01:17:28,510 --> 01:17:31,613
High cross body and the roll to it.

1204
01:17:32,447 --> 01:17:34,750
[Book] I said she was
gonna come in to play.

1205
01:17:36,018 --> 01:17:37,953
[Vic] DDT by Sol!

1206
01:17:38,020 --> 01:17:41,957
-[Book] Beautiful counter.
-[Vic] To become TNA Knockouts Champion.

1207
01:17:42,024 --> 01:17:43,892
-[Vic] And out.
-[Book] That's one thing.

1208
01:17:44,059 --> 01:17:47,863
[Book] If I could give Sol Luca
any advice, work on your playbook.

1209
01:17:47,929 --> 01:17:52,234
Think about thinking one, two steps ahead.
Just like that right there.

1210
01:17:52,300 --> 01:17:57,039
[Vic] Jordynne Grace in some ways has been
in Sol Ruca's shoes for that title.

1211
01:17:57,105 --> 01:18:02,244
She called her own shot back
on January 13th of this year when she won

1212
01:18:02,310 --> 01:18:04,946
and began her third reign
as Knockouts champion.

1213
01:18:05,013 --> 01:18:09,418
But can Sol Ruca put the Knockouts
title around her waist here tonight?

1214
01:18:09,484 --> 01:18:14,656
This, by the way, if you do the math,
is the third Championship matchup

1215
01:18:14,723 --> 01:18:16,258
of the night.

1216
01:18:16,324 --> 01:18:20,162
[Book] Sol Ruca is showing something
tonight and she's feeling confident.

1217
01:18:20,228 --> 01:18:23,031
She doesn't have
that knee brace on anymore as well.

1218
01:18:23,098 --> 01:18:26,168
-[Book] Oh, right there in the drop zone.
-[Vic] Certainly is.

1219
01:18:26,234 --> 01:18:28,270
[Vic] And then Grace under pressure.

1220
01:18:28,970 --> 01:18:34,209
The Champion got it all into the cover.
And the challenger able to continue

1221
01:18:34,276 --> 01:18:36,945
to fight in this matchup.

1222
01:18:37,012 --> 01:18:38,013
[Booker laughs]

1223
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:39,047
[Book] Yeah.

1224
01:18:41,083 --> 01:18:44,986
[Vic] The whole locker room was focused
on who would it be. It was Sol Ruca.

1225
01:18:45,053 --> 01:18:47,289
Wait up. Jordynne Grace
looking for the jug.

1226
01:18:47,355 --> 01:18:49,291
Counter, counter. Center of the ring.

1227
01:18:50,759 --> 01:18:52,527
-[Book] That was close.
-[Vic] Almost.

1228
01:18:52,594 --> 01:18:57,165
Super kick this time under jaw.
This could be Sol Ruca's moment.

1229
01:18:57,666 --> 01:19:02,504
She might be sensitive,
Booker, realizing… Oh!

1230
01:19:02,704 --> 01:19:04,272
[Book] That was crafty right there

1231
01:19:04,339 --> 01:19:10,245
-[Book] by Knockouts champion
-[Vic] Jordynne Grace for a second time.

1232
01:19:10,412 --> 01:19:14,916
If Sol was on the water,
she could be calling for an SOS.

1233
01:19:16,251 --> 01:19:17,252
in the…

1234
01:19:17,486 --> 01:19:20,522
[crowd screams in surprise]

1235
01:19:20,589 --> 01:19:23,592
[people whistling]

1236
01:19:27,229 --> 01:19:30,232
[crowd screams in amazement]

1237
01:19:34,035 --> 01:19:37,038
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Wendy Choo!

1238
01:19:44,079 --> 01:19:48,316
[Vic] The demonic duo has struck tonight.

1239
01:19:48,950 --> 01:19:51,586
[Book] Twin demons of evil, Vic.

1240
01:20:00,662 --> 01:20:04,299
I just got her this really pretty dress,
but she doesn't have a name yet.

1241
01:20:04,366 --> 01:20:08,270
We have a place to stay in my house,
but I'm just so happy that you're here.

1242
01:20:08,336 --> 01:20:12,474
This is my house, and they love it here.
Let me show you everybody.

1243
01:20:12,541 --> 01:20:18,914
Oh, we have Roxanne Perez,
our champion here. Oh, and then Becky.

1244
01:20:18,980 --> 01:20:21,583
I know you like Becky!
Here. And then…

1245
01:20:22,751 --> 01:20:23,785
Shayna.

1246
01:20:23,985 --> 01:20:27,889
I'm mad at Shayna because of what she did
to you last week on Raw.

1247
01:20:27,956 --> 01:20:31,760
-And you were just helping us.
-Wow, Tatum, so many.

1248
01:20:31,827 --> 01:20:35,230
Cute little coping mechanisms,

1249
01:20:35,297 --> 01:20:38,033
but we need to focus on the real life
Rosemary and Wendy, okay?

1250
01:20:38,099 --> 01:20:40,702
Because they are out of control.

1251
01:20:41,536 --> 01:20:43,405
-They are not my friend.
-No.

1252
01:20:43,471 --> 01:20:46,374
Did you see what they did
to Jordynne Grace?

1253
01:20:46,441 --> 01:20:49,644
I thought Wendy and I could be friends
because we're both outcasts,

1254
01:20:49,711 --> 01:20:53,748
but she was literally just using me
for the title. Can you believe that?

1255
01:20:54,349 --> 01:20:55,584
Imagine that.

1256
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,488
This one's head came off.

1257
01:21:01,656 --> 01:21:05,126
-Everything's falling apart.
-No, no, Tatum, nothing's falling apart.

1258
01:21:05,193 --> 01:21:09,664
Look, everything is perfect
as long as we are together, okay?

1259
01:21:09,731 --> 01:21:13,702
We do what we need to do and show
those weirdos there is nothing stopping us

1260
01:21:13,768 --> 01:21:18,940
-when we're on the same team, right?
-Right, my sweet dove. Tyra forever.

1261
01:21:19,140 --> 01:21:21,042
Next week, we'll show Wendy and Rosemary

1262
01:21:21,109 --> 01:21:25,013
just what happens
when you don't play with me.

1263
01:21:28,483 --> 01:21:31,553
Oh, give me that.

1264
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:35,523
Giulia, congratulations on your debut
and on your victory.

1265
01:21:35,590 --> 01:21:40,595
-I can't lie, I'm very impressed.
-[Funaki speaks Japanese]

1266
01:21:42,130 --> 01:21:43,331
-Thank you, Ava.
-Sure.

1267
01:21:43,398 --> 01:21:45,800
As you know, there was
a lot of talk about you.

1268
01:21:45,867 --> 01:21:48,436
And now that you're here,
it has not disappointed.

1269
01:21:48,503 --> 01:21:51,373
I can't wait to see how you help
the women's division.

1270
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,376
-With your experience…
-Wow, I'm surprised there's no red carpet

1271
01:21:56,511 --> 01:22:00,348
for our new superstar since you've been
giving her everything that she wants.

1272
01:22:00,649 --> 01:22:03,752
Straight to a women's title match
on the CW launch show.

1273
01:22:04,953 --> 01:22:10,992
Look, Giulia, I don't care what you did
in Japan. I don't care what you want,

1274
01:22:11,159 --> 01:22:14,696
what Ava wants,
or what Sean wants for that matter.

1275
01:22:14,896 --> 01:22:18,833
You're not gonna come in here
and take over my division.

1276
01:22:19,367 --> 01:22:22,370
[Funaki speaks Japanese]

1277
01:22:22,671 --> 01:22:23,772
I got it.

1278
01:22:26,141 --> 01:22:27,943
I understand, Roxanne.

1279
01:22:28,810 --> 01:22:30,078
You're scared

1280
01:22:31,146 --> 01:22:35,016
-and you should be.
-I'm not scared of you.

1281
01:22:35,083 --> 01:22:37,686
We're not gonna do this here.
Save it for Chicago.

1282
01:22:41,890 --> 01:22:45,327
-Hey, Dion Lennox, right?
-Yeah, bro.

1283
01:22:45,393 --> 01:22:48,863
Okay, so what did you mean by gaslighting?

1284
01:22:48,930 --> 01:22:51,032
Well, you're told stuff
that's not actually…

1285
01:22:51,099 --> 01:22:55,136
-I didn't know that you two were friends.
-We're not.

1286
01:22:56,104 --> 01:22:57,105
Look,

1287
01:22:57,739 --> 01:22:59,808
just remember what I told you, all right?

1288
01:23:01,776 --> 01:23:03,912
What? What was that all about?

1289
01:23:03,978 --> 01:23:06,781
Well, I got Dion telling me
I'm being gaslighted by you.

1290
01:23:07,649 --> 01:23:08,650
Wow.

1291
01:23:09,184 --> 01:23:12,987
Another guy around here trying to tell you
what to think instead of letting you

1292
01:23:13,054 --> 01:23:16,291
make decisions for yourself.
I asked you last week, man.

1293
01:23:16,358 --> 01:23:18,827
I have to ask you again.
What do you believe?

1294
01:23:19,661 --> 01:23:21,529
That's the only opinion that matters.

1295
01:23:23,131 --> 01:23:27,569
I get it, man. Trust me. I do. Okay?
And the difference between me

1296
01:23:27,635 --> 01:23:31,439
and everybody else here is I'm going
to let you to make decisions for yourself.

1297
01:23:32,273 --> 01:23:33,575
Dion, he's just…

1298
01:23:34,976 --> 01:23:38,246
He's acting like the kind of friend
that Briggs and Fallon were.

1299
01:23:39,247 --> 01:23:40,482
I'm sorry, man.

1300
01:23:45,820 --> 01:23:47,756
Oh, hell no.

1301
01:23:48,523 --> 01:23:49,657
Really, ladies?

1302
01:23:50,725 --> 01:23:54,596
DJ Platonic here is a hypocrite.
Over here playing with me,

1303
01:23:54,662 --> 01:23:58,266
acting like he's not interested in y'all.
Man, I can't believe this.

1304
01:23:58,333 --> 01:24:00,769
Don't get hot. Nobody played you.
I told you the truth.

1305
01:24:00,835 --> 01:24:05,640
-You just got a one track mind.
-Pause. Rewind. Save it, Eddie.

1306
01:24:05,707 --> 01:24:07,175
I see right through you.

1307
01:24:11,346 --> 01:24:13,415
[indistinct chatter]

1308
01:24:13,481 --> 01:24:17,786
[Vic] I hate to repeat myself,
but truly, all eyes on this brand.

1309
01:24:17,852 --> 01:24:21,389
Tyrese Halliburton, Olympic gold medalist
guard for the Indiana Pacers,

1310
01:24:21,456 --> 01:24:24,125
might be looking to trade
in that blue and gold

1311
01:24:24,192 --> 01:24:27,328
for some black and gold
as he prepares for the upcoming season.

1312
01:24:27,395 --> 01:24:29,130
You can see the back and forth.

1313
01:24:29,197 --> 01:24:32,901
Looks like he's going to get
up close and personal next week.

1314
01:24:32,967 --> 01:24:38,406
Right here, when he stops by to check out
NXT. Oh, what a week he is going to have.

1315
01:24:38,473 --> 01:24:39,941
When he does arrive, he is.

1316
01:24:40,008 --> 01:24:43,077
He is going to see the fists
do the talking. Next week.

1317
01:24:43,144 --> 01:24:47,482
Wall of Ice is going to face
one third of Fatal Influence, Jacy Jayne.

1318
01:24:47,549 --> 01:24:51,853
Who's going to come out victorious
when these two meet next Tuesday?

1319
01:24:52,187 --> 01:24:55,657
Also in action,
they are reunited once more.

1320
01:24:55,824 --> 01:24:58,726
Lyra Valkyria will team
with Tatum Paxley again,

1321
01:24:58,793 --> 01:25:03,298
this time against the demonic duo
of Rosemary and Wendy Choo.

1322
01:25:03,364 --> 01:25:05,934
This tag team matchup
takes place next week.

1323
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:12,607
And of course, Ethan Page will put
pen to paper with either Trick Williams

1324
01:25:12,674 --> 01:25:17,846
or Pete Dunne for the NXT championship
match on the CW in Chicago on October 1st.

1325
01:25:17,912 --> 01:25:23,384
As for who will be joining him
to sign that contract, we find out now.

1326
01:25:23,985 --> 01:25:26,988
["Stand tall" playing]

1327
01:25:34,662 --> 01:25:36,364
[Vic] I want you to be honest.

1328
01:25:37,532 --> 01:25:39,434
Last man standing, right?

1329
01:25:39,501 --> 01:25:43,671
You gotta incapacitate your opponent
so they cannot reach their feet

1330
01:25:43,738 --> 01:25:45,306
by the count of 10.

1331
01:25:45,874 --> 01:25:49,477
Who has the edge
in this massive main event?

1332
01:25:49,677 --> 01:25:53,715
Is it Pete Dunne or is it Trick Williams?

1333
01:25:53,781 --> 01:25:57,385
[Book] I can't answer that question,
but what I can answer is Pete Dunne

1334
01:25:57,452 --> 01:26:01,089
is a guy that's looking
to take out all of his frustration.

1335
01:26:01,256 --> 01:26:07,228
And tonight Trick Williams just happens
to be in front of him.

1336
01:26:07,295 --> 01:26:10,365
Last man standing is gonna come down
to who wants it most.

1337
01:26:10,431 --> 01:26:13,268
The championship is on the line.

1338
01:26:13,334 --> 01:26:15,436
shot at the title. You gotta love it.

1339
01:26:15,503 --> 01:26:19,908
[Vic] And as you mentioned, Booker,
the winner is gonna head to Chicago

1340
01:26:19,974 --> 01:26:24,946
to face Page for the NXT Championship
on our highly anticipated broadcast

1341
01:26:25,013 --> 01:26:29,984
-television debut on the CW network.
-The anticipated baby,

1342
01:26:30,051 --> 01:26:31,286
[Vic] October 1st.

1343
01:26:33,087 --> 01:26:36,090
["Locked in" playing]

1344
01:26:36,357 --> 01:26:39,360
[crowd cheers]

1345
01:26:40,862 --> 01:26:45,033
[crowd chants "Whoop that Trick"]

1346
01:26:45,700 --> 01:26:48,369
[Vic] I know we like to have
fun and games right now.

1347
01:26:48,436 --> 01:26:49,437
[Book] No time.

1348
01:26:50,338 --> 01:26:54,342
This is serious. This is real dog.
This is a moment.

1349
01:26:54,409 --> 01:26:57,045
Trick Williams is gonna have to step up.

1350
01:26:57,345 --> 01:27:02,984
And the thing is, the question
has been posed by one Pete Dunne.

1351
01:27:06,854 --> 01:27:08,923
[Vic] That question, Booker, I ask you,

1352
01:27:10,258 --> 01:27:11,259
has

1353
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:13,261
or can

1354
01:27:13,962 --> 01:27:16,164
Trick figure it out?

1355
01:27:16,531 --> 01:27:21,269
[Book] That's the question.
I think this young man has all the tools.

1356
01:27:21,970 --> 01:27:25,873
He's willing to take on anybody,
anytime, anywhere.

1357
01:27:26,174 --> 01:27:29,644
Like I say, this is a moment right here.

1358
01:27:29,811 --> 01:27:35,416
This is that fork in the road
for Trick Williams. Because trust me

1359
01:27:36,484 --> 01:27:39,287
he's gonna bring it tonight.
Look at the eyes.

1360
01:27:39,354 --> 01:27:42,624
Look at the eyes. They never lie.

1361
01:27:45,259 --> 01:27:46,260
[bell rings]

1362
01:27:46,594 --> 01:27:52,233
The following is a last man standing match

1363
01:27:53,301 --> 01:27:55,870
where the winner will receive

1364
01:27:55,937 --> 01:28:02,343
an NXT championship match
at the CW launch in Chicago.

1365
01:28:04,212 --> 01:28:05,613
Introducing first,

1366
01:28:06,514 --> 01:28:11,653
the Bruiserweight, Pete Dunne

1367
01:28:11,953 --> 01:28:14,956
[crowd boos]

1368
01:28:16,257 --> 01:28:18,326
and his opponent,

1369
01:28:19,060 --> 01:28:21,996
Trick Williams!

1370
01:28:22,930 --> 01:28:25,933
[crowd cheers]

1371
01:28:29,003 --> 01:28:33,708
[Vic] Big fight feel.
It's our main event tonight on NXT.

1372
01:28:35,410 --> 01:28:37,445
Who's headed to Chicago?

1373
01:28:39,047 --> 01:28:42,183
Who will become the number one contender?

1374
01:28:42,250 --> 01:28:45,953
-[Vic] And here we go.
-[Book] Here we go. Fight just broke out.

1375
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:50,458
[Vic] Had a street fight on Raw.
Last man standing match right now,

1376
01:28:50,525 --> 01:28:55,296
we got a steel cage championship matchup
Friday on Smackdown in USA.

1377
01:28:55,363 --> 01:28:59,133
It's WWE Week on USA
and Trick Williams is fired up.

1378
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:01,569
[Book] Williams is excited
tonight for a fight

1379
01:29:01,736 --> 01:29:04,739
Oh, baby. Got caught flipping.

1380
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,743
[Vic] There's no disqualification.
The referee's here to count 10.

1381
01:29:08,810 --> 01:29:12,447
He's here to see who can't
get back to their feet.

1382
01:29:13,514 --> 01:29:16,818
You see that eye? Busted up as Pete Dunne

1383
01:29:17,752 --> 01:29:20,054
was on Raw 24 hours ago
and has not healed.

1384
01:29:20,955 --> 01:29:25,593
Congratulations by the way to Jey Uso
number one contender to Bron Breakker

1385
01:29:25,660 --> 01:29:27,695
and the Intercontinental Championship

1386
01:29:29,897 --> 01:29:32,900
[Book] These men are no strangers to pain.

1387
01:29:34,335 --> 01:29:38,673
They got talent for the pain game.
Right now, just big shots.

1388
01:29:39,674 --> 01:29:43,745
[Vic] You know, I want to bring
this to you, but Trick's recent issues,

1389
01:29:43,811 --> 01:29:47,482
have been about his inability
to control his emotions, right?

1390
01:29:47,548 --> 01:29:51,753
He may become the number one
contender because he becomes

1391
01:29:51,819 --> 01:29:54,522
unrelentless, because he becomes unhinged,

1392
01:29:54,589 --> 01:29:56,324
because he throws caution to the wind

1393
01:29:56,391 --> 01:29:59,393
-and he doesn't give a damn.
-[Book] You gotta have that attitude.

1394
01:29:59,460 --> 01:30:01,162
Especially in a matchup like this.

1395
01:30:01,229 --> 01:30:05,066
You can't be thinking about what stakes
on tomorrow or anything like that.

1396
01:30:05,133 --> 01:30:10,605
It's all about tonight. Here we go.
Here we go. Wow, beautiful.

1397
01:30:10,671 --> 01:30:11,739
[Vic] Dunne, nice job.

1398
01:30:11,806 --> 01:30:15,877
Hooking his foot around that top rope
and now just trying to counter it.

1399
01:30:15,943 --> 01:30:20,248
Awkward landing
on the hip of Trick Williams.

1400
01:30:20,915 --> 01:30:26,187
Referee starts his count. Last man
standing. Who's headed to Chicago?

1401
01:30:30,191 --> 01:30:37,265
[Vic] Back live on NXT, last man standing,
Trick Williams, Pete Dunne.

1402
01:30:37,331 --> 01:30:41,302
You gotta incapacitate your opponent
so they can't stand by the count of ten.

1403
01:30:41,369 --> 01:30:46,140
The winner heads to Chicago,
the CW premiere to face Ethan Page

1404
01:30:46,340 --> 01:30:48,943
-[Book] Oh, yeah.
-[Vic] on the NXT championship.

1405
01:30:49,010 --> 01:30:53,948
And Trick Williams right now is rocking.
He's rolling and he's flapjacking.

1406
01:30:54,015 --> 01:30:55,016
He's done.

1407
01:30:55,783 --> 01:30:59,687
And for Trick Williams book,
he knows he's got to show some grit.

1408
01:30:59,754 --> 01:31:01,856
He knows he's got to show determination.

1409
01:31:01,923 --> 01:31:06,694
He's so close, Booker, he's so close
to getting that NXT title match

1410
01:31:06,761 --> 01:31:09,964
-he's been waiting for.
-[Book] Yeah, but Pete Dunne

1411
01:31:10,031 --> 01:31:13,734
is that road block trying
to stop Trick Wheaton pick.

1412
01:31:14,202 --> 01:31:18,172
[Vic] But did Pete Dunne
just hit rock bottom this week?

1413
01:31:19,006 --> 01:31:23,578
-[crowd and referee] Three, four.
-Dunne start to swerve. Look at Trick.

1414
01:31:23,644 --> 01:31:26,714
Dunne wisely rolling to the outside,
giving himself more separation

1415
01:31:26,781 --> 01:31:29,817
-[Book] To create space.
-[Vic] A little bit of breath.

1416
01:31:29,884 --> 01:31:35,189
[Vic] and open the window for Pete Dunne
to showcase that vicious side.

1417
01:31:35,256 --> 01:31:38,092
And again, his version
of figuring it out simple.

1418
01:31:38,159 --> 01:31:40,495
Any means necessary, do what it takes.

1419
01:31:40,561 --> 01:31:44,365
And tonight in this match matchup,
there are no rules. It's simple.

1420
01:31:44,432 --> 01:31:49,337
-[Vic] Be the last one standing.
-[Book] Yeah, baby. Now you talking.

1421
01:31:49,403 --> 01:31:55,309
By any means necessary,
you got to do what you got to do. Oh, yes.

1422
01:31:56,577 --> 01:32:01,382
[Vic] Pete Dunne, a member of Raw,
which moves to two hours

1423
01:32:01,449 --> 01:32:03,918
from 8 to 10 PM Eastern
starting out on October 7th.

1424
01:32:03,985 --> 01:32:08,322
But here tonight, he's trying to survive
to make it to October 1st.

1425
01:32:11,158 --> 01:32:14,795
And Trick with that neck breaker.
Could this do it?

1426
01:32:16,831 --> 01:32:20,835
Referee's at 5, 6, 7.

1427
01:32:21,002 --> 01:32:24,205
And how smart of it here
for Trick to stay on top

1428
01:32:24,272 --> 01:32:27,441
of Dunne as he saw him getting
back to his feet. He didn't wait.

1429
01:32:27,508 --> 01:32:29,977
He went right back for the attack.
Nice counter.

1430
01:32:30,044 --> 01:32:32,547
-Quick snap. German suplex by Dunne.
-But I like Trick

1431
01:32:32,613 --> 01:32:36,117
didn't rush in anything right there.
He let the referee…

1432
01:32:36,183 --> 01:32:39,654
He made his move. But right now,
Pete Dunne's just showing

1433
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:42,189
that it ain't over. The party's not over.

1434
01:32:47,929 --> 01:32:49,130
[Vic] Stomping away.

1435
01:32:49,196 --> 01:32:53,834
As Dunne said earlier tonight,
all that charisma, all that entertaining,

1436
01:32:53,901 --> 01:32:57,038
the singing, the dancing,
it isn't going to lift you,

1437
01:32:57,104 --> 01:32:59,774
Trick, to your feet here tonight.

1438
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:02,843
[Book] Nothing fancy about Pete Dunne.
He's a throwback.

1439
01:33:02,910 --> 01:33:06,914
Throwback to the Frank Godson,
who dances, the Billy Robinson…

1440
01:33:07,615 --> 01:33:09,517
Taking care of business. I love it.

1441
01:33:09,584 --> 01:33:12,920
[Vic] Could that be
the knockout blow in the official now.

1442
01:33:12,987 --> 01:33:14,855
Starting the count.

1443
01:33:15,623 --> 01:33:21,462
[Vic] Look at Dunne, just like you said
about Trick Williams.

1444
01:33:21,529 --> 01:33:25,032
Dunne already moving ahead,
trying to figure out how to stay ahead.

1445
01:33:25,099 --> 01:33:29,303
Because with Trick Williams' on his feet
Dunne already has plan A, B and C

1446
01:33:29,370 --> 01:33:33,040
in his mind to continue
to punish Trick Williams.

1447
01:33:33,107 --> 01:33:35,943
[Book] He does about riding his own ship.

1448
01:33:36,010 --> 01:33:40,414
It's not about being a second
in somebody's band or anything like that.

1449
01:33:40,715 --> 01:33:47,521
And I love that attitude, Vic, if you want
to move up in this business. Oh, yeah.

1450
01:33:47,688 --> 01:33:51,192
[Vic] Dunne doesn't believe that Trick
will ever figure it out.

1451
01:33:51,258 --> 01:33:55,162
And it can Trick Williams to stand.
The referee right now is at eight.

1452
01:33:55,229 --> 01:33:59,333
He just able to get up,
but ready to pounce is the Bruiserweight.

1453
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:03,804
And this might end it.
Booker, that concrete's exposed.

1454
01:34:03,871 --> 01:34:08,442
-[Book] Concrete! Here we go.
-Trick trying to block. This is that grit,

1455
01:34:08,609 --> 01:34:12,613
It's that determination
that we talk about trying to block.

1456
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:14,181
And Trick did it for a moment.

1457
01:34:16,250 --> 01:34:20,154
NXT Universe trying to will on
Trick Williams. Look at Pete.

1458
01:34:21,589 --> 01:34:24,492
Pete somehow… Oh, no, no. Booker!

1459
01:34:25,126 --> 01:34:26,360
[Book] Made it.

1460
01:34:28,295 --> 01:34:30,831
[referee] One, two.

1461
01:34:31,432 --> 01:34:34,168
[Vic] Referee starting
the count once again.

1462
01:34:36,937 --> 01:34:42,143
And I don't know how Trick gets
to his feet. Referee now on 7.

1463
01:34:42,977 --> 01:34:47,481
Trick here's at eight.
Trick broke the count just barely.

1464
01:34:47,548 --> 01:34:51,218
And you can see right there,
though I know you're friends with Trick.

1465
01:34:51,285 --> 01:34:53,754
I know you like Trick.
I know you try to mentor Trick.

1466
01:34:54,488 --> 01:34:58,926
Trick just broke that count.
There's not much left in Trick Williams.

1467
01:34:58,993 --> 01:35:01,395
[Book] No, but it showed the hard pick.

1468
01:35:01,462 --> 01:35:05,366
All it takes is a second to get that win
and get the adrenaline going.

1469
01:35:05,433 --> 01:35:09,904
Oh, that might have been a shot
right there that just finished it.

1470
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:14,875
[Vic] Pete posted weeks ago
he's the same age as Trick,

1471
01:35:14,942 --> 01:35:18,479
but he's from a different generation.
That struck a nerve with Williams.

1472
01:35:18,646 --> 01:35:21,882
That's what Trick Williams has
to remember now, all that disrespect,

1473
01:35:22,483 --> 01:35:26,153
the goal he has in mind
because he can't get back

1474
01:35:26,220 --> 01:35:28,055
to the NXT title if he doesn't win this.

1475
01:35:28,122 --> 01:35:31,792
Pete Dunne is smiling
because Pete Dunne knows he's just

1476
01:35:31,859 --> 01:35:34,862
a few seconds away
from his championship opportunity,

1477
01:35:35,029 --> 01:35:38,532
that he desperately wants.
Trick pulls himself up.

1478
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:44,271
Pete eyeing up, charging in.
It just got dropped. He got pop.

1479
01:35:44,338 --> 01:35:46,841
-[Vic] Trick's fighting back.
-[Book] Yeah, right there.

1480
01:35:46,907 --> 01:35:49,977
[Book] He ran into that shot,
but a beautiful counter right there.

1481
01:35:50,044 --> 01:35:53,247
Let's see if he can take
advantage of it. Here we go.

1482
01:35:53,314 --> 01:35:55,182
[Vic] He was able to connect!

1483
01:35:55,249 --> 01:35:59,386
And that could be the bitter end
to the dream of Trick Williams.

1484
01:36:01,088 --> 01:36:05,359
Seven seconds
for Pete Dunne till next week.

1485
01:36:05,426 --> 01:36:10,931
He'll come face to face with Ethan Page
for his championship opportunity.

1486
01:36:10,998 --> 01:36:13,267
The referee right over Trick screaming.

1487
01:36:13,334 --> 01:36:17,938
Trick somehow pushing himself up
with a half second and then collapsing.

1488
01:36:18,005 --> 01:36:22,176
[Book] Pete Dunne is going to have
to separate Trick Williams from his senses

1489
01:36:22,243 --> 01:36:24,211
-for him to stay down.
-You know how?

1490
01:36:24,278 --> 01:36:26,747
-[Vic] You swing that chair.
-[Book] Beat on him

1491
01:36:26,814 --> 01:36:30,751
til you can't beat on him anymore.
That's how you do it.

1492
01:36:31,285 --> 01:36:32,286
[Book and crowd] Oh!

1493
01:36:34,555 --> 01:36:36,123
[Vic] Trick turning it around.

1494
01:36:37,791 --> 01:36:40,928
And you gotta think, if the ropes
weren't there, Trick would be down.

1495
01:36:40,995 --> 01:36:43,264
But Trick is standing. Pete is down.

1496
01:36:43,330 --> 01:36:46,667
Dunne now has to remember
everything he said about Trick Williams.

1497
01:36:46,734 --> 01:36:51,539
All that grit, all that determination.
He's got two seconds.

1498
01:36:51,605 --> 01:36:55,376
And Dunne waited in the last moment.
Popped up, got popped down. Trick shot.

1499
01:36:55,442 --> 01:36:57,812
-[Vic] Trick shot.
-[Book] He's gotta figure it out.

1500
01:36:57,878 --> 01:37:01,515
-[Vic] That's gotta be it.
-[Book] Look like he's figured it out.

1501
01:37:03,651 --> 01:37:06,921
[Vic] The NXT Universe
counting with the official.

1502
01:37:07,087 --> 01:37:08,088
[Book] That's it.

1503
01:37:08,622 --> 01:37:12,760
[Vic] Pete's not moving.

1504
01:37:13,827 --> 01:37:18,799
And in that last split half second

1505
01:37:19,500 --> 01:37:21,435
somehow re-energized himself.

1506
01:37:21,502 --> 01:37:24,405
But he's back down on the mat.
Trick Williams now

1507
01:37:27,107 --> 01:37:32,513
Trick knows he's got to do
what he's got to do to get the job done.

1508
01:37:33,881 --> 01:37:37,218
[Vic] Oh, oh! Dunne!

1509
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:42,923
[indistinct screams]

1510
01:37:43,924 --> 01:37:46,927
[crowd chants "Holy shit"]

1511
01:37:47,528 --> 01:37:49,396
[Vic] How's he get up from this?

1512
01:37:51,532 --> 01:37:53,400
-[Vic] Count's at 6.
-[Book] It could be it.

1513
01:37:53,467 --> 01:37:56,971
[Vic] A look of concern
on the NXT Universe.

1514
01:37:57,037 --> 01:38:00,441
[Book] Oh, he's still in it.
He's still in it, Vic.

1515
01:38:00,507 --> 01:38:03,978
[Vic] This is him showing you that heart.
Showing you that will… Whoa!

1516
01:38:07,281 --> 01:38:09,583
I'm all tied up, Book. I'm sorry,

1517
01:38:11,118 --> 01:38:15,556
but the action is legitimately
spilling into the NXT Universe.

1518
01:38:16,123 --> 01:38:20,461
[Book] This guy's taking it to the street
right here. No rules.

1519
01:38:21,795 --> 01:38:23,631
[Vic] It's last man standing.

1520
01:38:25,366 --> 01:38:26,934
[Vic] Oh, my God. Booker.

1521
01:38:29,770 --> 01:38:32,606
Booker, they're above us to our left.

1522
01:38:34,808 --> 01:38:36,277
Who wants it more?

1523
01:38:37,544 --> 01:38:39,980
Who wants to be the number one contender?

1524
01:38:45,319 --> 01:38:48,055
Who's going to Chicago? Pete's teetering.

1525
01:38:49,423 --> 01:38:50,624
Trick swing.

1526
01:38:54,495 --> 01:39:00,067
Oh, Dunne able to fight right back,
keep his hopes alive.

1527
01:39:00,234 --> 01:39:04,305
[Book] Oh, yes. Oh, God. Wow.

1528
01:39:07,408 --> 01:39:10,411
[crowd chants "Holy shit"]

1529
01:39:17,384 --> 01:39:18,619
[Vic] Booker, I don't.

1530
01:39:20,287 --> 01:39:24,325
I don't even know what to say.
The official doing his job.

1531
01:39:25,059 --> 01:39:26,960
The official talking,

1532
01:39:27,728 --> 01:39:33,400
making sure that both these superstars
are okay. Checking on both of them.

1533
01:39:37,938 --> 01:39:39,239
One more time.

1534
01:39:40,474 --> 01:39:45,646
I mean, these guys are literally
destroying themselves.

1535
01:39:46,914 --> 01:39:50,751
Referee continuing to count.
You're right, Booker. Referee's at 8.

1536
01:39:51,819 --> 01:39:53,187
But referee restarted.

1537
01:39:53,253 --> 01:39:57,458
But now Ethan Page, the NXT champion,
is screaming at Pete Dunne.

1538
01:39:57,524 --> 01:40:01,495
He's screaming at Trick.
The referee's at 7, referee is at 8.

1539
01:40:01,562 --> 01:40:03,831
Trick trying to get to his feet. Page!

1540
01:40:04,565 --> 01:40:05,566
Page!

1541
01:40:05,733 --> 01:40:07,267
[bell rings]

1542
01:40:07,334 --> 01:40:10,637
-[Book] What?
-[Vic] The last man standing!

1543
01:40:12,005 --> 01:40:14,174
[announcer] Here is your winner,

1544
01:40:14,875 --> 01:40:17,478
Trick Williams!

1545
01:40:17,544 --> 01:40:19,546
[crowd chants "Whoop that Trick"]

1546
01:40:19,913 --> 01:40:21,915
[Vic] After everything, Booker.

1547
01:40:22,483 --> 01:40:26,186
Trick Williams is headed to Chicago.

1548
01:40:26,353 --> 01:40:32,926
Ethan Page tried his best
to get Pete Dunne to rally. He couldn't.

1549
01:40:32,993 --> 01:40:38,966
And again, at the last possible second,
Trick Williams got to his feet.

1550
01:40:39,032 --> 01:40:42,036
This was some of the action.
These guys went all over the place.

1551
01:40:42,102 --> 01:40:47,041
This is what I was talking about.
At 9, Trick Williams popped to his feet,

1552
01:40:47,107 --> 01:40:51,278
saved the match for himself,
gave himself the opportunity.

1553
01:40:51,345 --> 01:40:56,250
And it's now Trick Williams
heading to Chicago.

1554
01:41:01,054 --> 01:41:03,390
[indistinct conversations]

1555
01:41:03,457 --> 01:41:06,460
Next week. Let me know
if you need anything.

1556
01:41:06,527 --> 01:41:08,762
Great. Thank you so much. All right, bye.

1557
01:41:08,829 --> 01:41:10,931
-So who was that?
-CM Punk.

1558
01:41:10,998 --> 01:41:14,435
-He's coming to NXT next week.
-I thought he wasn't coming till Chicago.

1559
01:41:14,501 --> 01:41:15,836
Obviously he'll be there

1560
01:41:15,903 --> 01:41:18,238
but he said he has
something special for Chicago,

1561
01:41:18,305 --> 01:41:21,675
and he wants to announce it
on NXT next week.

1562
01:41:21,742 --> 01:41:24,278
[Vic] I don't know if you heard,
but look at this.

1563
01:41:24,344 --> 01:41:30,484
CM Punk is gonna be in the building.
Punk in NXT next Tuesday.

1564
01:41:31,418 --> 01:41:33,587
And speaking of which,
it's now Ethan Page

1565
01:41:33,654 --> 01:41:38,959
who's gonna sign the contract.
Pen to paper with Trick Williams.

1566
01:41:39,026 --> 01:41:44,264
It's going down next week live
here on USA. And Roxanne Perez,

1567
01:41:44,998 --> 01:41:51,505
the women's champion, is going to look
at Giulia as they will meet one on one

1568
01:41:51,572 --> 01:41:57,478
on the CW in Chicago. Speaking of which,
it's three weeks from tonight.

1569
01:41:57,544 --> 01:42:04,051
Trick-Paige for the NXT title in Chicago,
part of our CW launch on October 1st.

1570
01:42:04,117 --> 01:42:06,987
Will the EGO Era get
whooped in the Windy City?

1571
01:42:07,054 --> 01:42:07,955
Subtitles: Ed Boon
t
whooped in the Windy City?
