00:00:03,603 --> 00:00:04,637
[male narrator] Then…

3
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:09,309
now…

4
00:00:14,347 --> 00:00:15,315
forever…

5
00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:24,858
together.

00:00:32,632 --> 00:00:33,299
[soft music playing]

7
00:00:33,466 --> 00:00:35,702
[Vic] We are in the Show Me State,
home of the St. Louis Blues

8
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:39,706
of the NHL, Cardinals of the MLB,
home of Raw 24 hours ago,

9
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:45,178
and for the first time ever,
NXT here live tonight.

10
00:00:45,912 --> 00:00:49,849
Earlier today, St. Louis' favorite son
Randy Orton arrived

11
00:00:49,916 --> 00:00:54,587
out of his first ever televised match
here on NXT tonight.

12
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:58,258
Who will he face?
He will face The Young OG Je'Von Evans,

13
00:00:58,324 --> 00:01:01,461
who has to have butterflies
the size of eagles.

14
00:01:01,528 --> 00:01:05,065
Not only that match up,
but also two championship matches.

15
00:01:05,131 --> 00:01:08,468
As you can see, Two-Time Trick.
The NXT Champion

16
00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:13,673
Trick Williams is ready to celebrate
after what happened in Chicago last week.

17
00:01:17,277 --> 00:01:22,582
The excitement is off the charts.
This is NXT.

18
00:01:22,649 --> 00:01:27,587
[Shawn]
Chicago, I just got one question for you.

19
00:01:27,654 --> 00:01:31,858
[man] Are you ready?

20
00:01:32,892 --> 00:01:35,695
[Vic] We are live in Chicago on this,

21
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:38,631
the most significant night
in this brand's history,

22
00:01:38,698 --> 00:01:44,504
because it's the broadcast television
premiere of NXT, right here on the CW.

23
00:01:44,571 --> 00:01:48,174
[woman]
I didn't exactly come to Chicago alone.

24
00:01:48,241 --> 00:01:49,809
[Vic] The WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,

25
00:01:49,876 --> 00:01:54,180
Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair.
The CW premiere.

26
00:01:55,982 --> 00:02:01,387
It's The Beautiful Madness Giulia
versus The Prodigy Roxanne Perez

27
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:03,790
for the NXT Women's Championship.

28
00:02:03,857 --> 00:02:06,593
-[Booker] What the hell?
-[Vic] Giulia just got laid out.

29
00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:09,429
The official did not see
what just happened.

30
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:11,965
Look who's back.

31
00:02:12,031 --> 00:02:16,369
Roxanne Perez retained
the NXT Women's Championship

32
00:02:16,436 --> 00:02:19,372
thanks to Cora Jade.

33
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:21,441
I promise you, right down the middle.

34
00:02:21,508 --> 00:02:23,977
The winner of this match is going
to deserve to be called NXT Champion.

35
00:02:24,043 --> 00:02:27,981
[Vic] Will it be the champion, Ethan Page,
or the challenger, Trick Williams,

36
00:02:28,047 --> 00:02:32,252
for this massive main event match up?
Page can't believe it.

37
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:36,856
Williams got the trick shot, cover.
We got a new champion.

38
00:02:36,923 --> 00:02:43,096
Trick is NXT, we are NXT.
And the CW is NXT.

39
00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:52,739
And tonight we are live
inside The Factory.

40
00:02:52,805 --> 00:02:55,808

[music fading out]

42
00:03:03,283 --> 00:03:06,119
[crowd chanting] NXT!

43
00:03:06,185 --> 00:03:09,189
[Trick Williams' music playing]

44
00:03:14,794 --> 00:03:21,434
[Book] Oh, yeah. We gonna kick this thing
off like this, man. Oh, my God.

45
00:03:21,501 --> 00:03:24,504
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

46
00:03:25,204 --> 00:03:31,077
[Book] Yeah. Uh-huh.
I like it. Oh, yeah, man.

47
00:03:32,078 --> 00:03:36,482
[male announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

48
00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:43,122
the new NXT Champion,

49
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:48,628
Trick Williams.

50
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:54,500
[Book] Wait a minute, damn it.
Put some respect on this man's name.

51
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:58,738
Two-times, two-times NXT Champion.

52
00:03:58,805 --> 00:04:03,109
[Vic] And we are sold out tonight
in St. Louis, in The Factory.

53
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:09,482
With the two-time NXT Champion,

54
00:04:09,549 --> 00:04:11,684
Trick Williams.

55
00:04:17,457 --> 00:04:19,859
[Trick]
Hey, yo, yo, yo, yo. I appreciate that.

56
00:04:23,563 --> 00:04:27,433
Let's get straight to business.
We're in St. Louis.

57
00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:33,506
We got Sexy Red in the back.

58
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:39,479
Hey, yo, check it.
NXT is reaching new heights.

59
00:04:39,545 --> 00:04:42,915
We're in new cities.
We're even on a new network.

60
00:04:42,982 --> 00:04:47,453
But I want to take the time for everybody
to learn my new name.

61
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,857
Call me Tricky Two-Times.
You better say it two times,

62
00:04:50,923 --> 00:04:55,662
because Trick Williams, once again,
your new NXT Champion.

63
00:04:55,728 --> 00:04:57,630
[crowd cheering]

64
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:05,471
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

65
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:12,512
Y'all check it.
And I know what that means.

66
00:05:12,578 --> 00:05:16,082
I got this brand new beautiful baby
around my waist.

67
00:05:17,850 --> 00:05:22,689
And I know there's sharks in the locker
room with their eyes on Trick Willy,

68
00:05:22,755 --> 00:05:24,857
but that ain't gonna change nothing.

69
00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:29,529
[Wes] Trick! Tricky! Ay, yo.

70
00:05:31,330 --> 00:05:33,533
Congratulations, dog.

71
00:05:33,599 --> 00:05:36,569
But I am pretty sure that people out here
don't want to hear you celebrating

72
00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:39,872
for two hours. Especially when

73
00:05:39,939 --> 00:05:42,975
you are not the only one that had
a career-defining moment last week.

74
00:05:43,042 --> 00:05:46,879
You see, I shed some unnecessary weight
that's been dragging me down.

75
00:05:46,946 --> 00:05:50,349
And now I can properly focus
on what I want.

76
00:05:50,416 --> 00:05:56,989
And that's becoming a Triple Crown
Champion by taking that NXT Championship.

77
00:05:57,056 --> 00:05:59,759
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on there, light skin.

78
00:06:01,728 --> 00:06:06,833
Now your accolades should speak for
themselves. But I know your type, dog.

79
00:06:06,899 --> 00:06:09,902
The type that stabs people in the back,

80
00:06:09,969 --> 00:06:14,107
pretend like you got friends.
Look, I've been down that road before.

81
00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:18,578
Let me tell you how it ends, dog.
With Trick Willy's hand raised in the air.

82
00:06:18,644 --> 00:06:24,250
[Wes] Stop, stop, stop right now.
Look, right now, you are the face of NXT.

83
00:06:24,317 --> 00:06:27,887
But I'm gonna tell you something
that it seems like everybody around here

84
00:06:27,954 --> 00:06:32,558
ain't got the balls to say.
Trick, you ain't it, dog.

85
00:06:35,595 --> 00:06:40,366
And I am going to be the one that takes
that NXT Championship away from you

86
00:06:40,433 --> 00:06:42,034
before you even get comfortable with it.

87
00:06:42,101 --> 00:06:46,572
And then I'm gonna leave your ass
in the dust like your partner did.

88
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:50,176
[Jey Uso's music playing]

89
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:54,881
[Vic] Are you serious?

90
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,886
[Book laughing]

91
00:06:59,952 --> 00:07:05,391
Here I go, Wes.
Put it on pause. It's two champ time.

92
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:12,532
[Vic]
Let's see if we can get a new champion.

93
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:14,367
[Book]
That's who that is, man. Oh, yeah.

94
00:07:14,433 --> 00:07:18,037
[Vic] Jey Uso is in NXT.

95
00:07:24,877 --> 00:07:27,914
[Book] Give me some, dog.
Come on, man, you got some ripping.

96
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:31,851
-[Vic] Are we eating?
-[Book] That's what this is.

97
00:07:44,497 --> 00:07:47,133
Uh-huh.

98
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,038
Man, the roof is about to come off
this sucka.

99
00:07:57,677 --> 00:08:01,681
[Vic]
This sold-out crowd just became all blue.

100
00:08:05,251 --> 00:08:07,587
[music fading out]

00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:10,656
[crowd cheering and booing]

102
00:08:13,125 --> 00:08:15,127
I said…

103
00:08:16,929 --> 00:08:23,769
main event Jey Uso is now in your city.

104
00:08:25,571 --> 00:08:27,840
[Trick] Hey, look, hey, look.

105
00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:32,311
I appreciate you, dog, coming out
to NXT after your big victory last night.

106
00:08:34,313 --> 00:08:36,582
I know you're tired,

107
00:08:36,649 --> 00:08:38,317
but I know we look good.

108
00:08:38,384 --> 00:08:45,391
We got gold around our waist. I'm the NXT
Champ, you the Intercontinental Champ.

109
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:48,461
And if another bump try to try us
for these titles, you best believe

110
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:51,864
we both gonna whoop that Trick.

111
00:08:59,972 --> 00:09:02,909
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

112
00:09:14,153 --> 00:09:17,156
[Trick Williams' music playing]

113
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,530
-[Book] That's how you do it, dog.
-[Vic] What a moment.

114
00:09:30,336 --> 00:09:36,142
What a way to kick off NXT tonight.

115
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:43,215
We saw Jey Uso retain his
Intercontinental Championship last night.

116
00:09:43,282 --> 00:09:47,119
Will we say the same thing about Oba Femi?

117
00:09:47,186 --> 00:09:48,321
It's The Ruler. It's The Don.

118
00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:54,660
It's for the NXT North American
Championship here live tonight.

119
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:57,830
And that's not the only piece of gold on
the line tonight, Booker, because the NXT

120
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,299
Tag Team Titles will also be defended,
as the champions,

121
00:10:00,366 --> 00:10:06,072
Axiom and Frazer, face Smack Down's
A-Town Down Under live tonight

122
00:10:06,138 --> 00:10:08,140
on NXT, right here.

[sound of wind blowing]

127
00:10:35,301 --> 00:10:37,303
[female speaker voice] A storm

128
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:39,572
is coming.

[Jade Cargill's music playing]

130
00:10:50,783 --> 00:10:53,919
[Vic] I don't know if you feel it,
Booker, but this place,

131
00:10:53,986 --> 00:10:57,023
The Factory, is shaking right now.

132
00:10:58,691 --> 00:11:01,727
[Book] This is about to get busy.

133
00:11:02,661 --> 00:11:09,135
Let's go. You already know,
you already know, you already know.

134
00:11:10,202 --> 00:11:13,239
[Bianca Belair's music playing]

135
00:11:27,053 --> 00:11:28,220
[bell ringing]

136
00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:30,389
[announcer] The following contest,
scheduled for one fall,

137
00:11:30,456 --> 00:11:35,127
is a Six-Woman Tag Team match.

138
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:40,366
Introducing first, the team of the
NXT Women's North American Champion,

139
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:47,206
Kelani Jordan and the WWE
Women's Tag Team Champion,

140
00:11:47,306 --> 00:11:54,280
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair.

141
00:11:54,346 --> 00:11:58,084
[Vic] There's a lot of gold
on your screen right now.

142
00:12:01,087 --> 00:12:03,155
But business is about to start.

143
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:08,661
Which trio will have their hands raised?
Six-Woman Tag Team action is live.

144
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:10,730
It's next on NXT.

145
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,003
[Fatal Influence's music playing]

146
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:46,298
[announcer] And their opponents,
Jazmyn Nyx, Fallon Henley,

147
00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:53,105
and Jacy Jayne, Fatal Influence.

148
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:58,878
[Vic] Well, this terrible trio doesn't
have the numbers advantage here tonight.

149
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:02,848
[Book]
I've been waiting and anticipating

150
00:13:02,915 --> 00:13:05,818
this all week long, Vic.

151
00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:11,190
This right here,
a main event anywhere in the world.

152
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:18,130
[Vic] First time ever, NXT TV is in
St. Louis. We are sold out in The Factory.

153
00:13:18,497 --> 00:13:21,901
What a way to kick off tonight.
How about the moment we just had?

154
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:25,337
Jey Uso, the Intercontinental Champion,

155
00:13:25,404 --> 00:13:29,408
-Trick Williams, the NXT Champion.
-[Book] Always expect the unexpected.

156
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:34,113
-[Vic] What's up with Wes Lee, by the way?
-[Book] Dude is trying to stake his claim.

157
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:39,785
I like that. Call your shot. Let's get
the action going. Booyah! Here we go!

158
00:13:39,852 --> 00:13:42,888
[Vic] Early on there's connection,
and Fallon Henley taking advantage.

159
00:13:42,955 --> 00:13:47,293
And it was Kelani Jordan, who is a legal
superstar for her team, who said last week

160
00:13:47,359 --> 00:13:51,864
on commentary, she is not ducking
any member of Fatal Influence.

161
00:13:51,931 --> 00:13:54,934
[Book] It seemed like she's ducking
a little bit to me.

162
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,304
-She's got a posse with her.
-[Vic] Cover, cover, cover.

163
00:13:58,370 --> 00:14:00,172
[Book] That's what I'm talking about.
I'm looking at Fatal Influence.

164
00:14:00,239 --> 00:14:02,441
And this is a moment
for the Fatal Influence to come up,

165
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:06,378
step up and take this moment, Vic.

166
00:14:06,445 --> 00:14:08,247
[Vic]
Kelani Jordan now coming right back in.

167
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:09,448
This is what Kelani Jordan does so well.

168
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:11,483
-[Book] She's quick.
-[Vic] Boom!

169
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:14,787
[Book] You know what? They got
the matching outfits on. You can tell

170
00:14:14,853 --> 00:14:17,456
-they are coordinated.
-[Vic] Belair. Cargill.

171
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:19,858
The WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.

172
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:24,964
Belair first time competing on NXT
in nearly four years. For Cargill,

173
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:28,934
-first NXT in-ring debut.
-[Book] Timeout!

174
00:14:29,001 --> 00:14:31,570
[Vic] No timeouts.
What do you call timeout for?

175
00:14:31,637 --> 00:14:34,640
You know better than anybody,
there's no timeouts.

176
00:14:35,441 --> 00:14:37,576
There certainly will not be timeouts
later tonight,

177
00:14:37,643 --> 00:14:40,713
when the North American Championship
is being defended.

178
00:14:40,779 --> 00:14:47,786
There is the champion, Oba Femi, warming
up, getting ready to possibly successfully

179
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,657
defend his championship later on tonight.
Cover, kick out.

180
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:54,994
[Book]
I would not want any of that tonight.

181
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:58,063
Oba looks mean, man. He looks ready.

182
00:14:58,864 --> 00:15:01,467
[Vic]
Oba Femi looking for his 11th successful

183
00:15:01,533 --> 00:15:07,206
championship defense,
as there comes Bianca Belair, the EST.

184
00:15:07,273 --> 00:15:09,742
[screams]

185
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:17,049
[Vic] And doesn't it speak volumes
that Bianca and Jade are here with Kelani?

186
00:15:17,116 --> 00:15:20,819
[Book] I do know that. You know why?
Because it's the ultimate rub.

187
00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:23,656
You know, back in the day,
this would have never happened.

188
00:15:23,722 --> 00:15:26,525
This would have never happened.

189
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:29,395
[Vic] Think about our main event
tonight as well.

190
00:15:29,461 --> 00:15:34,166
Randy Orton one-on-one
with The Young OG Je'Von Evans.

191
00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:40,939
And got to give the Women's North American
Champion credit. She had a plan last week.

192
00:15:41,006 --> 00:15:43,909
We doubted her on commentary,
but she said she had one.

193
00:15:43,976 --> 00:15:49,348
[Book] She had a major plan, Vic.
But I always say, Bianca and Jade Cargill…

194
00:15:49,415 --> 00:15:51,984
-Look. Mind your business.
-[Vic] Hey!

195
00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:55,187
[Book] Preserve yourself a business
that preserves you.

196
00:15:55,254 --> 00:15:57,656
[Vic] Jacy Jayne is not even legal.

197
00:15:57,723 --> 00:15:59,758
-And she just paid the price.
-[Book] Whoa.

198
00:15:59,825 --> 00:16:03,295
That veteran experience right there
coming into play. But you never know

199
00:16:03,362 --> 00:16:07,032
what's going to happen later on
in the action. Something could happen.

200
00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:10,469
Bianca can do something.
And this thing can change just like that.

201
00:16:10,536 --> 00:16:12,171
I'm just saying.

202
00:16:12,237 --> 00:16:15,207
[Vic] You know, two weeks from Sunday,
it's Halloween Havoc.

203
00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:17,543
Maybe Fatal Influence can go
as the Sanderson sisters.

204
00:16:17,609 --> 00:16:21,780
Of course, tickets on sale now.
Ticketmaster.com, into the cover.

205
00:16:21,847 --> 00:16:24,883
-And a kick out.
-[Book] That's funny.

206
00:16:24,950 --> 00:16:29,154
[Vic] I appreciate that. Take another look
at Bianca Belair with ease.

207
00:16:29,988 --> 00:16:34,126
And now she made the tag. And in
comes Jade Cargill. Look, Belair, Cargill,

208
00:16:34,193 --> 00:16:40,065
they're gonna defend the Tag Team Titles
next Monday on Raw. Eagle Sky. Kairi Sane.

209
00:16:40,132 --> 00:16:44,036
But what stands out to you most
about the Tag Team Champions?

210
00:16:44,103 --> 00:16:47,006
[Book] I think it's the powerhouses.
They got all the tools.

211
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:49,942
They can go in there,
compliment each other very, very well.

212
00:16:50,008 --> 00:16:51,443
Look at the strength right now.

213
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:56,648
-Jade Cargill come with ease. Wow.
-[Vic] Ultimate teamwork for the victory.

214
00:16:58,384 --> 00:17:01,653
Now able to kick out one more time.
Just in the nick of time.

215
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:07,993
Kelani, Jade, Bianca, they are working
as a well oiled unit at this juncture.

216
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:09,595
And when it comes
to Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne,

217
00:17:09,661 --> 00:17:12,865
and Jazmyn Nyx is right to the throat
now turning things around

218
00:17:12,931 --> 00:17:16,935
is Fallon Henley, they don't like the NIL
athletes that have come in here that have

219
00:17:17,002 --> 00:17:22,274
taken over like a Kelani Jordan.
And now we look at this offense and bam!

220
00:17:22,341 --> 00:17:25,778
In comes a fellow NIL athlete, Jazmyn Nyx.

221
00:17:25,844 --> 00:17:28,680
[Book] You gotta think about the work
that Fallon as well as Jacy

222
00:17:28,747 --> 00:17:32,751
has put into this game. I'm talking about
NXT right here. This is their home.

223
00:17:32,818 --> 00:17:35,254
-They help build this thing.
-[Vic] Referee's distracted.

224
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,890
Jacy making Kelani pay.

225
00:17:37,956 --> 00:17:41,927
Can Kelani and the WWE Women's
Tag Team Champions bounce back?

226
00:17:46,131 --> 00:17:50,402
Back live on NXT here on the CW,
sold out in St. Louis, Missouri,

227
00:17:50,469 --> 00:17:53,772
and Fatal Influence
throughout the commercial break, Booker,

228
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:58,310
-has been proving their point to Kelani.
-[Book] Oh, they have been doing work.

229
00:17:58,377 --> 00:18:01,680
I mean, beautiful work.
Isolating Kelani Jordan

230
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:05,918
in the corner, and it doesn't matter
how big of a power team you are,

231
00:18:05,984 --> 00:18:09,922
if you can do this kind of work
right here. We're about to go home.

232
00:18:09,988 --> 00:18:12,524
We about to go home, oh yes!

233
00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:15,494
[Vic] I brought up the numbers advantage
from last week, because

234
00:18:15,561 --> 00:18:18,730
it was Jazmyn Nyx, who just checked out
of the match up, who was the key factor

235
00:18:18,797 --> 00:18:21,667
in the match up last week.
Cover and a kick out.

236
00:18:21,733 --> 00:18:24,536
Got on the apron, distracted Jada Parker.

237
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:27,940
Jada didn't see Lola was into
causing her a lot of confusion.

238
00:18:28,006 --> 00:18:30,542
But that is what Fatal Influence does.

239
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:32,578
[Book] Beautiful work there by Jacy Jayne.

240
00:18:32,644 --> 00:18:36,448
But I would have wish she would have
just kept her bashed in the corner.

241
00:18:36,515 --> 00:18:40,919
You don't want to give Kelani Jordan
any space, something like that.

242
00:18:40,986 --> 00:18:45,290
[Vic] The Women's North American Champion
back to her feet. So close to the…

243
00:18:45,357 --> 00:18:47,059
[Book] Oh, so close.

244
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:50,863
[Vic] Able to get back up.
Jordan able to counter, reverse and bang!

245
00:18:53,565 --> 00:18:58,570
Heel right under the jaw. Things
turning around now for Kelani Jordan,

246
00:18:58,637 --> 00:19:02,341
and can things turn around
for Tony D'Angelo?

247
00:19:02,407 --> 00:19:07,146
He's focused, he's ready,
he's determined, as he faces Oba Femi

248
00:19:07,212 --> 00:19:12,417
for the North American Championship
later on tonight. The first of two

249
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:16,955
championship matches here on NXT,
as Kelani trying to fight free.

250
00:19:17,022 --> 00:19:22,327
-Swinging a miss. Jacy Jayne!
-[Book] Kelani's proving a medal tonight.

251
00:19:22,394 --> 00:19:26,532
I mean, Jade Cargill, she's not doing
anything. Bianca is not doing anything.

252
00:19:26,598 --> 00:19:31,603
She's letting her handle her business.
I like that. Here we go! Here we go!

253
00:19:34,072 --> 00:19:36,808
Man, big shots.

254
00:19:38,877 --> 00:19:41,547
-[Vic] Bang! Spine buster.
-[Book] Wow!

255
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:42,814
[screams]

256
00:19:42,881 --> 00:19:47,019
[Book] Look at the power.
Talking about a dream team.

257
00:19:47,219 --> 00:19:48,987
Here we go, Vic.

258
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,526
[Vic] What a fallaway slam.

259
00:19:54,593 --> 00:19:59,197
-Jade Cargill has changed the game.
-[Book] Yeah.

260
00:20:00,465 --> 00:20:04,303
She's like a line right now,
just stalking her, braving, taking…

261
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:05,704
Oh, big shots!

262
00:20:09,408 --> 00:20:14,646
[Vic] Jazmyn Nyx went for the ride.
Didn't like the landing.

263
00:20:15,681 --> 00:20:19,318
And look who's coming back in, the EST.

264
00:20:19,384 --> 00:20:22,888
[Book] I don't like this.
I don't like the way this looks, Vic.

265
00:20:25,324 --> 00:20:27,359
[Vic] Beautiful, and oh.

266
00:20:28,727 --> 00:20:32,231
Fallon Henley didn't like what she saw,
but just got caught with a super kick.

267
00:20:32,297 --> 00:20:35,500
Jacy Jayne, though.
Big neck breaker, wiping out cargo.

268
00:20:35,834 --> 00:20:37,502
Kelani Jordan back to her feet.

269
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:40,906
She enters back into the fray.
Big jump in DDT.

270
00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:44,409
Everyone wiped out.

271
00:20:44,476 --> 00:20:47,512
I believe Bianca Belair, though,
is legal for her team.

272
00:20:47,579 --> 00:20:50,582
[Book] Oh my God! Wow!

273
00:20:50,649 --> 00:20:53,652
[applause]

274
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:58,790
[Vic]
Two legal superstars, Belair, Nyx. Oh!

275
00:20:58,857 --> 00:21:04,796
Jazmyn just caught Belair with the Nyx
kick. And Belair able to power out.

276
00:21:05,831 --> 00:21:08,700
It's a former Women's Champion,
former Wrestle Mania main eventer,

277
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:12,871
former Royal Rumble winner, Bianca Belair
has been in there with the best.

278
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:18,076
Jazmyn Nyx knows that,
got caught this time. Got hoisted.

279
00:21:18,143 --> 00:21:21,280
-[Book] To the Power!
-[Vic] And planted.

280
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:33,992
And the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions
putting on a show here tonight.

281
00:21:34,059 --> 00:21:37,529
-[Book] Good night.
-[Vic] But look at Kelani.

282
00:21:38,597 --> 00:21:43,735
Not to be outdone, looking for that
one of a kind split legged moonsault.

283
00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:46,538
[crowd] One, two, three!

284
00:21:46,605 --> 00:21:50,409
[Vic] And a fatal mistake
made by Fatal Influence tonight.

285
00:21:50,475 --> 00:21:55,147
[announcer] Here are your winners,
the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion,

286
00:21:55,213 --> 00:21:57,816
Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill,

287
00:21:57,883 --> 00:22:04,823
and the NXT Women's North American
Champion, Kelani Jordan.

288
00:22:06,725 --> 00:22:08,760
[Vic] Three one of a kind athletes,

289
00:22:08,827 --> 00:22:13,832
as the Women's North American Champion
continues to stand out here tonight.

290
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:18,837
-You ready?
-Yeah, dude. Always ready, always ready.

291
00:22:18,904 --> 00:22:22,574
Business tonight as usual, amigo.

292
00:22:22,641 --> 00:22:24,209
Well, as long as we keep
our composure, right?

293
00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:27,546
[Randy] Guys, I got a question for you.

294
00:22:29,114 --> 00:22:35,220
So, this Je'Von Evans, right?
How fast exactly is he?

295
00:22:35,287 --> 00:22:38,123
Well, he might be the fastest guy
in NXT, if I'm honest.

296
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:39,858
-I'm really looking forward to…
-Hey, hey, dude.

297
00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:42,661
What do you mean he's the fastest
guy in NXT? I'm right here.

298
00:22:42,728 --> 00:22:44,629
-You know what I mean.
-No, what do you mean?

299
00:22:44,696 --> 00:22:46,898
I'll prove that I'm faster.

300
00:22:46,965 --> 00:22:49,201
I'm sorry about this, Randy. We shouldn't…

301
00:22:49,267 --> 00:22:52,370
Apologies, Randy. I've been known
to be a little bit of a hot…

302
00:22:52,437 --> 00:22:53,839
-Hot head?
-Yeah, yeah.

303
00:22:53,905 --> 00:22:56,074
Trust me, I can relate.

304
00:22:56,141 --> 00:23:00,278
But there's nothing wrong
with being a hothead. In fact,

305
00:23:00,345 --> 00:23:05,684
sometimes we all need to find our
dark place, if you know what I mean?

306
00:23:05,751 --> 00:23:07,085
All right.

307
00:23:07,152 --> 00:23:09,154
You see?
Randy Orton just said it's a good thing.

308
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:12,524
So as far as I'm concerned,
I'm taking it and running with it.

309
00:23:17,829 --> 00:23:18,563
Good luck.

310
00:23:20,198 --> 00:23:23,769
Giulia, a tough loss last week
against Roxanne Perez.

311
00:23:23,835 --> 00:23:26,304
In a few moments,
we'll hear from Roxanne and Cora Jade.

312
00:23:26,371 --> 00:23:29,808
-What do you think they'll have to say?
-Roxanne and Cora are…

313
00:23:29,875 --> 00:23:33,378
-[knocking on the door]
-Excuse me, we're in the middle of a…

314
00:23:33,445 --> 00:23:35,647
Hello, my old friend.

315
00:23:37,716 --> 00:23:39,851
We got it.

316
00:23:41,586 --> 00:23:44,589
[Roxanne Perez's music playing]

317
00:23:53,532 --> 00:23:56,735
[announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

318
00:23:56,802 --> 00:24:00,806
the NXT Women's Champion,

319
00:24:00,872 --> 00:24:05,610
Roxanne Perez.

320
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:08,814
[Vic] There's no doubt
that Roxanne Perez has listened

321
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,183
to a certain St. Louis native.

322
00:24:11,249 --> 00:24:15,187
She knows what it takes to be number one,
because two is not a winner.

323
00:24:15,253 --> 00:24:19,491
-And three nobody remembers.
-[Book] You should be on your feet.

324
00:24:19,558 --> 00:24:22,861
[Vic] Why the hell aren't you on your
feet? We can see the camera shot there.

325
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:28,567
[Book] That young lady,
who perhaps is truly the best.

326
00:24:30,435 --> 00:24:35,674
I thought last week was going to be
the week that it finally happened.

327
00:24:36,408 --> 00:24:40,912
Your international sensation,
your chosen one,

328
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:46,451
was going to dethrone me and become
your new NXT Women's Champion.

329
00:24:46,518 --> 00:24:50,121
But nope,

330
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:58,463
because once again, there you guys are
disappointed. And here I stand with this.

331
00:24:59,397 --> 00:25:00,932
[crowd cheering]

332
00:25:00,999 --> 00:25:07,372
Yep, maybe now all of you guys
will finally start to believe everything

333
00:25:07,439 --> 00:25:09,508
that I've been saying since April.

334
00:25:09,574 --> 00:25:15,580
But I'm not gonna hold my breath on that,
because you all are so predictable.

335
00:25:16,047 --> 00:25:19,818
In no time, you'll prop somebody else up

336
00:25:19,885 --> 00:25:25,056
and I'll still be here drinking all the
tears of your new flavors of the month.

337
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:28,693
But, but

338
00:25:29,294 --> 00:25:32,130
thankfully, I don't have
to drink alone anymore.

339
00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:39,337
Because a new, an old friendship,
is starting to reignite.

340
00:25:40,038 --> 00:25:43,241
[speaker voice]
Welcome to the generation of Jade.

341
00:25:43,308 --> 00:25:46,311
[Cora Jade's music playing]

342
00:25:48,813 --> 00:25:52,183
[Vic] Cora Jade, who returned last week.

343
00:25:54,619 --> 00:26:00,892
And perhaps altered the landscape of this
Women's Division. And I say that because,

344
00:26:00,959 --> 00:26:06,965
Booker, can you say with absolute
certainty, without Cora Jade,

345
00:26:07,032 --> 00:26:11,336
-Roxanne Perez would still be here?
-[Book] I don't know.

346
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:14,706
But I can say this. Cora Jade is back,

347
00:26:14,773 --> 00:26:21,379
and she is one bad little sister.

348
00:26:23,148 --> 00:26:29,921
For the past nine months, I had to sit
at home and listen to everybody talk

349
00:26:29,988 --> 00:26:36,261
about how this is the deepest division
in the history of NXT. Hell, in WWE.

350
00:26:36,528 --> 00:26:41,333
Everyone was going on and on and on,
listing all the women here in NXT,

351
00:26:41,399 --> 00:26:47,606
but for some reason, my name
was left off that list. Imagine that.

352
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:52,010
And you know what?
That really, really pissed me off.

353
00:26:53,545 --> 00:26:55,046
So, when I came back,

354
00:26:55,113 --> 00:27:02,053
I wanted to make sure everybody paid
for forgetting about Cora Jade.

355
00:27:04,122 --> 00:27:06,091
So,

356
00:27:06,157 --> 00:27:09,160
when I cost Giulia
the NXT Women's Championship,

357
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:13,264
nobody saw it coming, not even Roxanne.

358
00:27:13,631 --> 00:27:15,634
Listen,

359
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:22,674
the woman you used to know
was a young girl trying to make it in NXT.

360
00:27:22,941 --> 00:27:26,578
But the woman you're looking at now,

361
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:31,349
is the woman who is going to make NXT.

362
00:27:33,852 --> 00:27:38,423
Roxanne Perez deserves
to be NXT Women's Champion.

363
00:27:39,357 --> 00:27:44,195
This is the version of Roxanne
I always knew she could be.

364
00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:50,769
That's why, after so many years,
our friendship is finally being mended.

365
00:27:50,835 --> 00:27:53,138
And unfortunately,

366
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:59,544
that's really, really bad
for the deepest division in WWE.

367
00:27:59,944 --> 00:28:01,980
So bad. And Cora,

368
00:28:02,047 --> 00:28:06,618
I wish I listened to you years ago
instead of these never was know it alls.

369
00:28:07,619 --> 00:28:10,522
All you ever wanted was for me
to just look out for myself.

370
00:28:10,588 --> 00:28:15,226
And in the pursuit of chasing
this championship, I finally learned.

371
00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:18,830
And I know
that this NXT Women's Championship

372
00:28:18,897 --> 00:28:20,632
is what shattered our friendship.

373
00:28:20,698 --> 00:28:26,371
But I think it's going to be the one thing
that brings us right back together.

374
00:28:28,073 --> 00:28:29,274
The one…

375
00:28:29,340 --> 00:28:32,343
[Giulia's music playing]

376
00:28:40,852 --> 00:28:47,492
[Vic] There's the woman who believes she
should be the Women's Champion, Giulia.

377
00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:58,937
Come on, Giulia. Come on, don't be shy.

378
00:28:59,003 --> 00:29:03,241
I know we haven't formally met yet,
but come on. Get in.

379
00:29:05,009 --> 00:29:06,511
Don't be shy. Come on.

380
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:08,480
[Stephanie Vaquer's music playing]

381
00:29:08,546 --> 00:29:10,582
[Vic] Booker!

382
00:29:10,882 --> 00:29:14,085
It looks like we found out
who that old friend was.

383
00:29:14,152 --> 00:29:18,356
-[Book] What the hell?
-[Vic] Stephanie Vaquer is here.

384
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:22,093
Finally has arrived in NXT.

385
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,596
[Book] Oh, here we go.

386
00:29:24,662 --> 00:29:28,700
-[Vic] Can I get an SDQQ?
-[Book] Shucky, ducky, quack, quack.

387
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:33,671
-Fight, Vic.
-[Vic] It's all breaking down.

388
00:29:33,738 --> 00:29:36,741
[crowd chanting] NXT!

389
00:29:46,751 --> 00:29:49,487
[Vic]
I can't believe what we just witnessed.

390
00:29:50,421 --> 00:29:54,826
Cora Jade, Roxanne Perez.

391
00:30:01,199 --> 00:30:05,170
Oh, Booker. As these two
international sensations meet,

392
00:30:05,236 --> 00:30:09,841
the target is getting bigger and bigger
on the back of The Prodigy,

393
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:12,911
[rock music playing]

394
00:30:13,611 --> 00:30:16,614
Stephanie Vaquer. She's finally in NXT.

395
00:30:16,681 --> 00:30:19,250
Next week I'm gonna show her
what this division's all about.

396
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:23,021
Look at you,
challenging Stephanie Vaquer next week.

397
00:30:23,087 --> 00:30:26,624
See, that's what we need here
in the NQCC. Both of you take notes.

398
00:30:31,229 --> 00:30:32,630
What have you got there?

399
00:30:32,697 --> 00:30:36,301
Oh, you know, just reliving getting
this match stolen from me by Oro Mensah.

400
00:30:36,534 --> 00:30:39,337
Lexis, why are you still obsessed
over Oro Mensah?

401
00:30:39,437 --> 00:30:44,642
You know what? You're the guy. A real
wrestling purist. Maybe you can help me.

402
00:30:44,709 --> 00:30:46,945
Look, I'm looking for something,

403
00:30:47,011 --> 00:30:52,450
maybe it's a match where I challenge Oro
and he can't cheat and neither can I.

404
00:30:52,517 --> 00:30:56,054
Something down the straight and narrow.
Do you guys have anything for that?

405
00:30:57,288 --> 00:30:59,023
Look, there's one thing.

406
00:30:59,090 --> 00:31:03,695
In England, there's something called
the Admiral Lord Mount Evans.

407
00:31:03,761 --> 00:31:06,464
-Admiral Lord Mount Evans?
-Yeah, it's a rounds match system.

408
00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:10,268
-No, no, can't do rounds.
-Look, it's a gentleman's battle.

409
00:31:10,335 --> 00:31:15,740
Ah, that's it. A gentleman's duel.
That's what we'll do.

410
00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:18,343
-Tell me more about this rule set.
-Right…

411
00:31:18,409 --> 00:31:24,148
[Vic] Now all of a sudden, Lexis King
wants to be a gentleman of sorts.

412
00:31:24,215 --> 00:31:26,217
[Book] He's a good guy. He's a good guy.

413
00:31:26,284 --> 00:31:29,287
[soft music playing]

414
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:42,200
[Vic] Well, can Tony D'Angelo be the one

415
00:31:43,868 --> 00:31:47,438
to finally defeat Oba Femi?

416
00:31:50,041 --> 00:31:53,177
Is the belief back in The Family?

417
00:31:54,913 --> 00:32:00,151
Because it will be The Ruler, first the
dime for the North American Championship.

418
00:32:10,128 --> 00:32:15,099
We are sold out in St. Louis, the site of
two Royal Rumbles and two Survivor Series,

419
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:17,969
and it's the home of NXT tonight.

420
00:32:18,036 --> 00:32:21,039
[hip hop music playing]

421
00:32:30,815 --> 00:32:33,818
[Oba Femi's music playing]

422
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:06,718
[Vic] If he said it once,

423
00:33:06,784 --> 00:33:12,423
he said it 100 times.
Oba Femi has said that Tony D'Angelo

424
00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:15,626
-is broken.
-[Book] Yeah.

425
00:33:15,693 --> 00:33:21,165
And the thing is, I wonder if it's true.
The thing is, he looked very confident.

426
00:33:21,232 --> 00:33:24,802
Tony D, he looked very confident
walking down the aisle.

427
00:33:24,869 --> 00:33:30,608
But you know what Mike Tyson say,
until a man get hit, that is the plan.

428
00:33:30,675 --> 00:33:34,178
After that, it all goes out the window.

429
00:33:34,245 --> 00:33:39,350
We're gonna find out a whole lot
about Tony D tonight. Check out this man.

430
00:33:39,417 --> 00:33:42,487
This beast, Oba Femi.

431
00:33:42,553 --> 00:33:46,190
[Vic] The longest reigning
North American Champion.

432
00:33:46,257 --> 00:33:49,861
A prediction that you made, Booker,
the night he captured it.

433
00:33:51,496 --> 00:33:53,531
Right now, let's go to our ring announcer,

434
00:33:53,598 --> 00:33:57,602
Mike Rome,
with our championship introductions.

435
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:01,973
[bell ringing]

436
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:07,612
The following contest,
scheduled for one fall, is for

437
00:34:07,678 --> 00:34:14,685
the NXT North American Championship.

438
00:34:17,822 --> 00:34:22,226
Introducing the challenger,
from Chicago, Illinois,

439
00:34:22,293 --> 00:34:26,431
weighing in at 240 pounds,

440
00:34:26,497 --> 00:34:33,504
represent The D'Angelo Family,
The Don of NXT,

441
00:34:34,705 --> 00:34:40,578
Tony D'Angelo.

442
00:34:46,384 --> 00:34:51,389
And his opponent, from Lagos, Nigeria,

443
00:34:51,456 --> 00:34:55,726
weighing in at 310 pounds,

444
00:34:55,793 --> 00:35:02,733
he is the NXT North American Champion,

445
00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:10,274
Oba Femi.

446
00:35:10,341 --> 00:35:12,477
[Vic] He has successfully
defended the title ten times.

447
00:35:12,543 --> 00:35:16,380
No one, as you just saw,
has held that title longer than Oba Femi.

448
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:20,585
Not Wes Lee, who we saw
earlier tonight, or Carmelo Hayes.

449
00:35:20,818 --> 00:35:24,555
The first of two championship
matches tonight.

450
00:35:27,191 --> 00:35:29,827
Do you feel that Don believes in himself

451
00:35:29,894 --> 00:35:34,465
once again, as we get ready to start
this North American Championship match?

452
00:35:34,532 --> 00:35:39,437
[Book] We're gonna find out very quickly.
But I've grown to learn that it's those,

453
00:35:39,504 --> 00:35:42,707
those one time that you
try to conquer that mountain,

454
00:35:42,773 --> 00:35:45,776
and you get that one guy that you can't…

455
00:35:45,843 --> 00:35:49,180
That might be the case here
in this match up, but right now,

456
00:35:49,247 --> 00:35:52,183
-Tony D's looking good.
-[Vic] Look at The Don right now.

457
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:54,252
We go back to some of the training
we've seen him do.

458
00:35:54,318 --> 00:35:57,188
Getting in there,
getting into the body bag. Oh!

459
00:35:57,255 --> 00:36:02,093
[Book] Sticking the move, didn't work
that time, though, watching the paint dry.

460
00:36:02,693 --> 00:36:07,498
[Vic] I think The Family, especially
Rizzo, has not feeling like The Don again.

461
00:36:07,565 --> 00:36:11,903
But as you said earlier, everyone has a
plan, until you get punched in the mouth.

462
00:36:12,670 --> 00:36:17,808
And Oba Femi very quickly has turned this
match up around, into the cover, first one

463
00:36:17,875 --> 00:36:22,980
of the match up and a kick out. Both
went face to face on Miz TV last week.

464
00:36:23,047 --> 00:36:28,319
It was The Don who some said took
a calculated walk out of the ring.

465
00:36:28,386 --> 00:36:32,823
Others say he's fearful
of the North American Champion.

466
00:36:33,457 --> 00:36:37,461
[Book] You know, you better have a plan
when you step into a situation like this.

467
00:36:37,528 --> 00:36:41,232
But I always say preparation is
the only luck you're ever going to have.

468
00:36:41,299 --> 00:36:46,571
And this may be the last shot for Tony D
if he didn't cash in tonight.

469
00:36:48,272 --> 00:36:53,010
[Vic] Very loud, split 50/50,
sold-out crowd here in St. Louis.

470
00:36:55,212 --> 00:36:59,517
As we've mentioned, this the first
of two championship matches tonight.

471
00:36:59,584 --> 00:37:03,120
The NXT Tag Team Title still be defended.
We saw Axiom and Frazer earlier.

472
00:37:03,187 --> 00:37:03,854
They are their opponents.

473
00:37:03,921 --> 00:37:07,925
The challengers from Smack Down
putting in final moments of preparation.

474
00:37:07,992 --> 00:37:11,562
But look, we know that Tony D'Angelo
is a former Tag Team Champion,

475
00:37:11,629 --> 00:37:12,830
a former Heritage Cup Champion.

476
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:16,567
The North American Title is something
that he has chased for some time.

477
00:37:16,634 --> 00:37:20,204
Go back to No Mercy, Book.
The Don injured his ankle in that match.

478
00:37:20,271 --> 00:37:25,509
He was still able to kick out of not one,
but two Oba power bombs.

479
00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:28,312
Something no one, no one else has done.

480
00:37:28,379 --> 00:37:31,382
That's why I believe people
he's a little bit more tonight.

481
00:37:31,449 --> 00:37:32,817
[Book] I take nothing away from Tony D.

482
00:37:32,883 --> 00:37:37,321
He's definitely a guy that I touted
to be one of the best here in NXT.

483
00:37:37,388 --> 00:37:40,458
But this guy, The Ruler, Oba Femi,
this is a guy

484
00:37:40,524 --> 00:37:45,429
that stepped his game up to a total
another level. Right now, he's showing it.

485
00:37:45,496 --> 00:37:50,234
[Vic] Another take down of D'Angelo by Oba
Femi. I want to bring this to you, Booker.

486
00:37:50,301 --> 00:37:55,172
I mean, you had a two-time Hall of Fame
career. Did you ever doubt yourself

487
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:55,906
during your career?

488
00:37:55,973 --> 00:38:00,177
[Book] I mean, coming off entry,
stepping in the championship box

489
00:38:00,244 --> 00:38:03,514
like this right here, you have
those butterflies that you have to get

490
00:38:03,581 --> 00:38:06,384
to line up and fly straight.
Of course I have.

491
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:10,821
[Vic] And The Family on the outside,
the under boss, Rizzo, Luca, Crucifino,

492
00:38:10,888 --> 00:38:14,392
right now cheering on Tony D'Angelo,

493
00:38:14,458 --> 00:38:18,162
and The Don might have been able
to weather that storm early on.

494
00:38:18,229 --> 00:38:21,565
Right to the massive chest of Oba Femi,
flying through the air.

495
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:27,371
Got caught,
and Oba just planted The Don, spine first.

496
00:38:27,438 --> 00:38:31,542
Can The Don get back?
North American title on the line.

497
00:38:36,347 --> 00:38:37,048
Back live on NXT.

498
00:38:37,114 --> 00:38:40,718
The North American Championship
is on the line. Oba Femi, the champion.

499
00:38:40,785 --> 00:38:44,555
The challenger, Tony D'Angelo,
it's The Ruler versus The Don.

500
00:38:44,622 --> 00:38:48,259
And the back has been the focus
of Oba Femi throughout the break.

501
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:49,794
And here's why, because right before

502
00:38:49,860 --> 00:38:54,965
the commercial break,
the hardest part of the ring where…

503
00:38:55,032 --> 00:38:57,368
[Book] That was calculated right there,

504
00:38:57,435 --> 00:39:00,271
that was the steel right there,
goes down the ring right there.

505
00:39:00,337 --> 00:39:03,040
I'll tell you, Oba Femi's trying to…

506
00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:06,210
trying to beat Tony D.
He's trying to hurt him, Vic.

507
00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:08,212
[Vic] He has said he is a broken man.

508
00:39:08,279 --> 00:39:13,050
Tony D'Angelo's done so much to try to
fight back, to gain his confidence back.

509
00:39:13,117 --> 00:39:14,719
He's had The Family by his side,

510
00:39:14,785 --> 00:39:17,655
but The Family is not doing
the fighting right now.

511
00:39:17,722 --> 00:39:21,792
It's only Tony D'Angelo. And Oba Femi
has been taking it to the dime.

512
00:39:21,859 --> 00:39:25,896
Could be looking to set up
for a fall from grace power bomb,

513
00:39:25,963 --> 00:39:30,234
-trying to hoist up!
-[Book] Oh, wow!

514
00:39:30,301 --> 00:39:32,169
[Vic] And somehow was able to.

515
00:39:32,236 --> 00:39:37,274
But when we talk about
the longevity of Oba Femi,

516
00:39:37,341 --> 00:39:41,245
he has been able to get it done
at every occasion.

517
00:39:49,754 --> 00:39:52,723
What are you doing?

518
00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:56,594
[Vic] The under boss doing what
the under boss does, what he thinks is best

519
00:39:56,660 --> 00:39:59,263
for The Don. But The Don
wants to fight, he wants to win.

520
00:39:59,330 --> 00:40:02,133
He wants to crown himself
the North American Champion.

521
00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:04,869
-And The Don now starting to fight back.
-[Book] Yes, indeed.

522
00:40:05,469 --> 00:40:09,006
I was going to say hard wheel
and determination there for a second,

523
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:11,675
and then look like shenanigans
come into play.

524
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:14,645
[Vic] I think he was looking for a
spine buster. His back gave out again.

525
00:40:14,712 --> 00:40:16,714
And boom! They are up and over.

526
00:40:18,983 --> 00:40:21,652
[Vic] I don't know if you agree with me
or not, but it looked like D'Angelo's

527
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:26,724
trying to hoist up Oba Femi
for a spine buster and his back gave out.

528
00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:28,793
[referee] Come on, guys.

529
00:40:29,994 --> 00:40:32,596
[Book] That shot outside the…

530
00:40:33,464 --> 00:40:38,636
Right along that steel have Tony D…

531
00:40:38,702 --> 00:40:41,705
Oh, my God. Man, what a shot.

532
00:40:59,723 --> 00:41:01,725
[Vic] Oh!

533
00:41:02,059 --> 00:41:06,096
[ref] Get inside the ring, Oba. Let's go!
Don't stand there, come on.

534
00:41:07,765 --> 00:41:10,701
[Vic] An inadvertent by Oba Femi. But…

535
00:41:12,269 --> 00:41:18,476
The Don just saw Rizzo get taken out.
And The Don, look at his eyes.

536
00:41:18,542 --> 00:41:22,379
He's got the eye of the tiger, Book,
and The Don coming up!

537
00:41:22,446 --> 00:41:27,751
[Book] Here we go. The fight just
broke out. This is it right here, Vic.

538
00:41:27,818 --> 00:41:29,487
[Vic] Rizzo, who has been the one to talk

539
00:41:29,553 --> 00:41:32,823
to Tony D'Angelo, who has gotten him
to believe in himself again.

540
00:41:32,890 --> 00:41:35,125
What he just witnessed was just a fuse.

541
00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:39,930
That list of combustible elements
inside Tony D'Angelo.

542
00:41:39,997 --> 00:41:41,265
You got to be kidding me!

543
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:44,235
[Book] Motivating factor, Vic,
seeing the rears go down.

544
00:41:47,571 --> 00:41:51,208
[Vic] But he's got to get Oba
back into the ring. Wise of D'Angelo.

545
00:41:51,275 --> 00:41:55,946
Nasty landing, a big spear! For the title!

546
00:42:00,150 --> 00:42:02,152
[ref] Come on!

547
00:42:02,319 --> 00:42:04,221
[Vic] That was a half second.

548
00:42:04,288 --> 00:42:07,992
You know, I'm just looking through,
The Don right there. And stats.

549
00:42:08,058 --> 00:42:09,193
It was almost in disbelief.

550
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:15,165
Inside shoulder just getting up.
But what a massive uppercut by Oba.

551
00:42:16,333 --> 00:42:20,237
Oba, who when he arrived talked about
a prophecy, that he'd be the most dominant

552
00:42:20,304 --> 00:42:22,773
-superstar in NXT.
-[Book] Here we go.

553
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,777
-[Vic] It has come true.
-[Book] Here we go, Tony D. God, man.

554
00:42:29,613 --> 00:42:36,620
[Vic] And another massive choke slam
to The Don. And for The Ruler, just like…

555
00:42:37,121 --> 00:42:40,224
[Book] Whoa! I thought that was it.

556
00:42:40,591 --> 00:42:43,160
No way.

557
00:42:46,430 --> 00:42:50,734
[Vic] Right back to the back of The Don.

558
00:42:50,801 --> 00:42:54,038
D'Angelo able to get the left shoulder up.

559
00:42:54,104 --> 00:42:59,143
The Family on the opposite side
of the ring, jumped to their feet.

560
00:42:59,209 --> 00:43:01,078
Just like this sold-out crowd
here in St. Louis.

561
00:43:01,145 --> 00:43:02,846
NXT North American Title on the line.

562
00:43:02,913 --> 00:43:06,283
Oba Femi, the champion.
The undefeated champion.

563
00:43:07,818 --> 00:43:10,220
[Book] I respect Tony D
wants to win this thing fair and square,

564
00:43:10,287 --> 00:43:14,892
but if you can take a shortcut, you
want to take it, man. You want to take it.

565
00:43:17,728 --> 00:43:20,598
[Vic] Where is D'Angelo
getting the strength from?

566
00:43:20,664 --> 00:43:23,934
[Book] That's the heart, will,
and determination I was talking about.

567
00:43:24,001 --> 00:43:26,036
Stick it deep, Vic.

568
00:43:26,103 --> 00:43:28,405
[Vic] We saw The Don try to get this done
earlier in the match up.

569
00:43:28,472 --> 00:43:31,775
He couldn't hoist up Oba Femi,
but I believe you were right,

570
00:43:31,842 --> 00:43:35,212
Booker, when he saw Rizzo
get inadvertently hit,

571
00:43:35,279 --> 00:43:38,115
it kind of lid a fuse inside of him.

572
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:47,191
Champion trying anything he can do
to break the hold of D'Angelo.

573
00:43:47,257 --> 00:43:51,428
And now, here's the power back on display.

574
00:43:51,495 --> 00:43:53,430
[Book] Whoa.

575
00:43:53,497 --> 00:43:55,499
Overspent it.

576
00:43:57,167 --> 00:44:00,537
[Vic] Oba's being pushed to limits,
we've never seen Oba be pushed too.

577
00:44:02,072 --> 00:44:05,776
Take another look.
Just tossing Tony D'Angelo.

578
00:44:05,843 --> 00:44:07,845
[Book] Took a lot out of him, though.

579
00:44:07,911 --> 00:44:10,914
[crowd chanting] This is awesome!

580
00:44:19,156 --> 00:44:24,695
[Vic] This is for the NXT North American
Title. And you said it earlier, Booker,

581
00:44:24,762 --> 00:44:29,199
there may not be more chances
for The Don left after tonight.

582
00:44:29,266 --> 00:44:31,335
[Book] He may not want another shot
after this, Vic.

583
00:44:34,438 --> 00:44:38,542
[Vic] D'Angelo getting some separation.
There you see Luca and the under boss,

584
00:44:38,609 --> 00:44:44,114
you see Rizzo, shouting to The Don,
who just got decleated.

585
00:44:44,181 --> 00:44:46,183
[Book] What a shot.

586
00:44:48,318 --> 00:44:52,790
[Vic] And right out here, you hear
the official saying, get back in the ring.

587
00:44:52,856 --> 00:44:54,558
-[Book] Oh.
-[Vic] Hey, hey, hey, hey!

588
00:44:54,625 --> 00:44:57,628
[Book] Get up, Vic. Pack it up.

589
00:44:58,429 --> 00:45:02,299
[ref] Come on. Get inside, Oba. Let's go.

590
00:45:07,137 --> 00:45:08,972
[Vic] Booker!

591
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:10,340
Oba looking for the power bomb! Countered!

592
00:45:10,407 --> 00:45:13,510
Spine buster! Spine buster!

593
00:45:14,645 --> 00:45:18,115
But The Don's got to get Oba Femi
back in the ring.

594
00:45:18,182 --> 00:45:19,383
He can't win the title out here.

595
00:45:21,785 --> 00:45:23,687
-[Book] Still the gas.
-[Vic] The Don knows it.

596
00:45:23,754 --> 00:45:26,857
-[Book] Still the gas.
-[Vic] Oba turned it around.

597
00:45:26,924 --> 00:45:30,994
And Ron Simmons
just screamed out damn, for the title.

598
00:45:31,061 --> 00:45:33,030
-[crowd screaming]
-[Book laughing]

599
00:45:34,031 --> 00:45:38,068
-[Book] You got to be kidding me.
-[Vic] I mean…

600
00:45:40,771 --> 00:45:42,973
I mean, Book…

601
00:45:43,907 --> 00:45:47,010
-[Book] If there's any time…
-[Vic] Book, what does he do now?

602
00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:49,713
Because… Book, what does he do now?

603
00:45:49,780 --> 00:45:53,317
Because if you look at The Don,
is he broken?

604
00:45:53,383 --> 00:45:57,888
What else does he have to do? He's
looking at The Family. And there's Oba.

605
00:45:57,955 --> 00:46:02,059
How in the hell did The Ruler
get back to his feet? Hoisting up

606
00:46:02,126 --> 00:46:05,796
D'Angelo. D'Angelo up and over.
Shoulders down! Shoulders down!

607
00:46:05,863 --> 00:46:08,499
-He did it! He did it! The Don did it!
-[bell ringing]

608
00:46:08,565 --> 00:46:11,668
[music playing]

609
00:46:11,735 --> 00:46:14,304
[announcer] Here is your winner,

610
00:46:14,371 --> 00:46:19,943
and the new NXT

611
00:46:20,010 --> 00:46:22,913
North American Champion,

612
00:46:22,980 --> 00:46:26,717
The Don of NXT,

613
00:46:26,783 --> 00:46:32,256
Tony D'Angelo.

614
00:46:32,322 --> 00:46:35,292
[Vic] He's not broken. He's whole.

615
00:46:35,893 --> 00:46:39,730
And he's the new North American Champion.

616
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:47,671
Right here, Book, right in front of us.
Right at our feet.

617
00:46:47,738 --> 00:46:50,808
The Don knew he had to get Oba
back into the ring.

618
00:46:50,874 --> 00:46:52,709
That was the second spine buster.

619
00:46:52,776 --> 00:46:56,680
And give the champion credit, was able to
kick out, was able to continue to fight.

620
00:46:56,747 --> 00:47:01,418
And just when we all thought there
was nothing left for Tony D'Angelo,

621
00:47:01,485 --> 00:47:06,089
that indeed was a broken man,
like Oba had said, Tony D'Angelo,

622
00:47:06,156 --> 00:47:11,595
out of nowhere, was not only
able to conquer the unconquerable,

623
00:47:11,662 --> 00:47:18,669
Tony D'Angelo was able to crown himself
the new North American Champion.

624
00:47:23,006 --> 00:47:27,311
As we get excited about tonight,
let's go back to last week.

625
00:47:27,377 --> 00:47:29,646
It was following a Tag Team match.

626
00:47:29,713 --> 00:47:32,049
What the hell was that?

627
00:47:33,317 --> 00:47:36,553
[ref] Hey, hey! Come on, it's enough.

628
00:47:37,354 --> 00:47:39,823
Back it up, back it up.

629
00:47:43,694 --> 00:47:46,063
Hang on, take a breath.

630
00:47:46,129 --> 00:47:48,365
-I want Jada Parker.
-I know, Jada wants you too.

631
00:47:48,432 --> 00:47:50,868
She feels the exact same way.
I didn't say all of that.

632
00:47:50,934 --> 00:47:53,470
Look, Lola, I have something to do
right now, but I will handle this.

633
00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:55,539
But, Jada is…

634
00:47:56,807 --> 00:47:59,543
Hey, yeah, I'm in my office.
Just come in. Okay, cool.

635
00:48:00,544 --> 00:48:04,214
See, I told you.
Welcome back. There she is.

636
00:48:05,983 --> 00:48:08,719
I'm so grateful to be back.
Hey, that's the bad…

637
00:48:08,785 --> 00:48:11,755
Nikkita, I understand you have
a meeting, but it has to wait.

638
00:48:11,822 --> 00:48:13,690
No, it doesn't. Me and Ava need to talk,

639

you've been gone. You just got cleared.

No, no, we're not doing this here.

talk about who her first opponent is.

Look, if y'all are gonna keep coming
to our turf NXT,

at those Tag Team Titles.

See, what we won't do,

664
00:49:48,452 --> 00:49:50,687
and what we don't do,
is run from a challenge. Ain't that right?

665
00:49:50,754 --> 00:49:54,958
That's right. But since you want a title
opportunity, we not going to come to you.

Why isn't it the Waller and Theory effect?

[Vic] Are you door-dashing?
What are you doing?

700
00:52:34,284 --> 00:52:37,254
[Book] I was just thinking about
this match up. Thinking about

701
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:41,992
Axiom and Nathan Frazer, two of the best
here in NXT, taking on two guys who was,

702
00:52:42,058 --> 00:52:44,995
you know, was very, very popular
here in NXT themselves,

703
00:52:45,061 --> 00:52:48,832
but never made it to
what Axiom and Nathan is right now.

704
00:52:48,899 --> 00:52:51,701
-And that is Tag Team Champions.
-[Vic] So what I'm trying to ask you is

705
00:52:51,768 --> 00:52:54,437
have the champions already won up
the challengers spot?

706
00:52:54,504 --> 00:52:55,772
[Book]
Yes. Okay, I get that. Maybe you should

707
00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:57,807
-expand it just a little bit.
-[Vic] What do you mean?

708
00:52:57,874 --> 00:53:01,144
Think back to the Grayson Waller effect.
Why isn't it the Waller and Theory effect?

709

I mean, so you wouldn't care
if Harlem Heat was the Stevie Ray show?

And he is quick.

714
00:53:19,029 --> 00:53:24,267
And think about what Randy Orton told
Frazer earlier, maybe you have to go find

715
00:53:24,334 --> 00:53:28,138
that dark place. Frazer actually seemed
taken back that Randy Orton earlier was

716
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:31,875

he will meet in our main event tonight.

Evans versus The Viper, Randy Orton,

718
00:53:36,379 --> 00:53:40,483

Don't get shut out.

a pretty good connection a few weeks back.

723

it's about Tag Team Championship gold.

it is high risk. Will it be a reward?

a tag, because he has taken a beating.

new Tag Team Champions crowned tonight.

what Waller and Theory have accomplished.

748
00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:34,064

North American Champion tonight.

here tonight?

752

the WWE Tag Team Champions

753

of the biggest Wrestle Mania of all time.

754
00:55:46,576 --> 00:55:51,614
Does it add fuel to their fire
that they've never captured gold in NXT?

755
00:55:51,681 --> 00:55:52,348
[Book] Of course it does.

756
00:55:52,415 --> 00:55:57,954

in this match up here on the CW

757

apparent. I think you've heard of that.

free, to create a little bit of separation

760
00:56:13,136 --> 00:56:17,907
and maybe, just maybe,
finally able to make a tag.

761
00:56:19,809 --> 00:56:21,811
Big splash!

762
00:56:22,679 --> 00:56:25,281
And this has to be that moment, Booker.

763
00:56:25,682 --> 00:56:27,717
-There it is.
-[Book] Oh, here we go!

764
00:56:27,784 --> 00:56:29,786

765

He strikes like a cobra.

766
00:56:35,392 --> 00:56:38,228
He goes all the way to the top rope,
lands on his feet.

767
00:56:38,294 --> 00:56:40,730
Look at how fast Nathan Frazer is,

768
00:56:40,797 --> 00:56:42,932
and business has certainly picked up
here in The Factory.

769
00:56:42,999 --> 00:56:47,370
[Book] Austin Theory I'm sure
hadn't seen anything this quick

770
00:56:47,437 --> 00:56:50,373
in quite sometime.
And right now Frazer's going for it.

-[Book] Oh baby!

there for a moment, and that hesitation…

he got dropped to retain, and a kick out.

777

and he's doing it here. Oh, baby!

778

he had with Randy Orton about finding

as now Frazer looking over.

780
00:57:20,336 --> 00:57:23,173

He just got caught.

781
00:57:23,239 --> 00:57:25,141
Not only that, inside cradle,
shoulders down!

782
00:57:25,208 --> 00:57:28,645
And we almost had new Tag Team Champions.

783
00:57:28,711 --> 00:57:32,315
Frazer answering back with an enzuigiri,
though. Tag… No.

784
00:57:33,316 --> 00:57:39,122
I thought he made the tag, but Waller
in the last moment I think dropped Axiom.

785
00:57:39,189 --> 00:57:42,525
[Book] That's that veteran experience
coming into play right now, Vic.

786
00:57:42,592 --> 00:57:44,861

for Axiom.

787

for new champions? And a kick out.

788

from Austin Theory, and just this close

He gets hanged out to dry, little high-low
combo. Waller's legal. Axiom's legal.

797
00:58:23,099 --> 00:58:25,768
-Cover and a kick out.
-[Book] Wow, man, right there.

798
00:58:25,835 --> 00:58:28,671
Axiom and Nathan Frazer's
going into the trick bag.

799
00:58:28,738 --> 00:58:33,109
I'm talking about pulling everything out
of a toolbox and nothing is working.

800
00:58:33,176 --> 00:58:38,448
[Vic] A lot of low brow humor from A-Town
Down Under over the last several weeks.

801
00:58:38,515 --> 00:58:39,816
[Book] Big left hand.

802
00:58:39,883 --> 00:58:43,786
[Vic] Might not find things so funny,
but Axiom right now is not gonna

803
00:58:43,853 --> 00:58:46,322
like the numbers advantage.
And there comes Waller!

804
00:58:46,389 --> 00:58:49,626
He got caught! He got caught!

805
00:58:49,692 --> 00:58:51,895
Axiom's inside of the ring
with a choke hold.

806
00:58:51,961 --> 00:58:54,664
Trying to put Waller to sleep.
He's fighting through.

807
00:58:54,731 --> 00:58:58,902
And there comes Axiom.
Axiom, Frazer, double submissions.

808
00:58:59,903 --> 00:59:02,906
Theory trying to get back to his feet.

809
00:59:02,972 --> 00:59:07,443
It's Axiom, it's Waller, who are legal,
and Theory just overpowered Nathan Frazer.

810
00:59:07,510 --> 00:59:12,115
[Book] Man, the strength came into play
right there for Austin Theory as well.

811
00:59:12,181 --> 00:59:15,151
We are in those deep, deep waters, Vic.

812
00:59:15,218 --> 00:59:18,221
[crowd booing]

813
00:59:19,455 --> 00:59:22,458
[Vic] A-Town Down Under
has been there before. Wait a minute.

814
00:59:22,525 --> 00:59:24,427
Inadvertently,
I think Waller just got hit.

815
00:59:24,494 --> 00:59:29,098
Axiom into the cover, and a near fall.
Back to his feet. Oh!

816
00:59:29,866 --> 00:59:32,068
Might have been two miscues, Book.

817
00:59:32,402 --> 00:59:35,705
They connected that time on Frazer
and trying to get packed under control.

818
00:59:35,772 --> 00:59:38,575
Golden ratio,
just wiped out Austin Theory, though.

819
00:59:38,641 --> 00:59:41,044
But look who's standing.
It's Grayson Waller.

820
00:59:41,110 --> 00:59:46,115
[Book] Waller trying to take advantage.
But right now, Axiom. Oh, my God!

821
00:59:46,182 --> 00:59:49,118
Oh, my God. Beautiful.

822
00:59:49,786 --> 00:59:52,622
[Vic]
You can say that again. Waller almost out

823
00:59:52,689 --> 00:59:55,825
after that Canadian destroyer.
There's the tag.

824
00:59:55,892 --> 01:00:00,330
We've seen this in the past.
The champions now, climbing to the top.

825
01:00:01,230 --> 01:00:03,366
First part, Spanish fly.

826
01:00:04,233 --> 01:00:07,136
Second part of the equation.
Can it connect?

827
01:00:07,203 --> 01:00:12,408
We're in St. Louis, not in Arizona.
But the Phoenix splash connected.

828
01:00:12,475 --> 01:00:15,912
-And the champions able to retain.
-[bell ringing]

829
01:00:15,979 --> 01:00:16,746
[rock music playing]

830
01:00:16,813 --> 01:00:18,214
[announcer] Here are your winners,

831
01:00:18,281 --> 01:00:24,754
and still the NXT Tag Team Champions,

832
01:00:25,488 --> 01:00:29,959
Axiom and Nathan Frazer.

833
01:00:30,793 --> 01:00:36,432
[Vic] A defining moment
for the NXT Tag Team Champions,

834
01:00:36,499 --> 01:00:40,169
Axiom and Frazer, here tonight,

835
01:00:40,937 --> 01:00:43,506
live on NXT.

836
01:00:44,607 --> 01:00:49,512
Booker, we've had not one, but two
championship matches, but this woman

837
01:00:49,579 --> 01:00:54,384
has been nominated for three BET Awards,
including Hip Hop Album of the Year.

838
01:00:54,784 --> 01:01:00,023
St. Louis' own Sexy Red is about to get it
sexy, Booker got his binocle ready.

839
01:01:00,423 --> 01:01:04,861
-She's next, live on NXT.
-[Book] Yeah.

840
01:01:08,931 --> 01:01:13,169
[Ridge] Chase University welcomed me in
at my lowest point.

841
01:01:13,836 --> 01:01:19,275
Restored my confidence.
Gave me a sense of belonging.

842
01:01:19,342 --> 01:01:22,879
We wanted to be the people that said
that they got Ridge Holland wrong.

843
01:01:23,646 --> 01:01:30,353
[Ridge] I finally became a champion, and
it got ripped away because of mediocrity.

844
01:01:31,421 --> 01:01:35,558
[man] We gave you a chance, but all you
did was show the world who you really are.

845
01:01:35,625 --> 01:01:38,094
[Vic]
What the hell, Ridge? What are you doing?

846
01:01:38,161 --> 01:01:45,168
[Ridge] Now, NXT, you're going to get
the man that I fought so hard not to be.

847
01:01:46,369 --> 01:01:50,640
This destruction of Chase U begins.

848
01:01:51,574 --> 01:01:55,244
[Thea] Seeing how you broke Mr. Chase,
how you hurt Duke.

849
01:01:55,311 --> 01:01:59,716
I don't know who that person is.
Ridge, you broke my heart.

850
01:02:00,716 --> 01:02:02,151
[Ridge] Thea.

851
01:02:02,218 --> 01:02:06,289
I'm going to love every second of it.

852
01:02:11,494 --> 01:02:13,496
I'm joined By Ridge Holland. Ridge,

853
01:02:13,563 --> 01:02:16,466
what's your reaction to what we just saw
between you and Chase U?

854
01:02:16,532 --> 01:02:21,871
I said I was gonna run through them all,
and that's exactly what I did.

855
01:02:21,938 --> 01:02:27,710
And that's the price that they pay
for their mediocrity ruining my dreams.

856
01:02:27,777 --> 01:02:30,680
I systematically destroyed…

857
01:02:30,747 --> 01:02:33,750
[shouts and grunts]

858
01:02:45,194 --> 01:02:50,266

No, no, no, no.

873
01:04:20,323 --> 01:04:21,824
Ma'am.

874
01:04:21,891 --> 01:04:23,893
[Sexy Red]
You always got an attitude problem.

875
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:30,233
Ma'am, your concert? Yeah, it's canceled.

876
01:04:31,167 --> 01:04:37,039
But hey, hey, that's what you get
for interrupting All Ego Ethan Page,

877
01:04:37,106 --> 01:04:42,245
especially on Monday Night Raw, Miss Sexy.

878
01:04:42,578 --> 01:04:48,050
I haven't been champion for one week,
and this place absolutely fell apart.

879
01:04:48,117 --> 01:04:53,422
We've got Trick Williams
parading around with my championship.

880
01:04:53,489 --> 01:04:56,959
We've got a bogus concert going on.

881
01:04:57,026 --> 01:05:00,096
We've got Wes Lee
feeling the effects of his street fight,

882
01:05:00,162 --> 01:05:03,766
thinking that he is number one contender.

883
01:05:03,833 --> 01:05:07,570
And then we got a general manager
who's trying to absolutely ruin my life.

884
01:05:07,637 --> 01:05:11,040
And on top of it, Je'Von Evans thinks

885
01:05:11,107 --> 01:05:15,978
that he deserves to wrestle
Randy Orton tonight. No, Miss Red.

886
01:05:16,045 --> 01:05:20,616
Ethan Page should be wrestling Randy Orton
tonight for his NXT Championship.

887
01:05:20,683 --> 01:05:23,786
So, hate to break it to you,

888
01:05:23,853 --> 01:05:28,691
this is my ring now and I'm not leaving
until I get my rematch clause.

889
01:05:28,758 --> 01:05:30,626
[Sexy Red] Boo!

890
01:05:30,693 --> 01:05:32,895
You said a bunch of nothing.

891
01:05:32,962 --> 01:05:35,431
-[speaker voice] Bouncy.
-Okay.

893
01:05:51,013 --> 01:05:53,282
[Vic] Je'Von Evans' not gonna wait.

894
01:05:54,717 --> 01:05:58,154
Didn't like what he just heard
from Ethan Page.

895
01:05:58,220 --> 01:06:00,323
He loves interrupting people, doesn't he?

896
01:06:00,389 --> 01:06:02,358
No, I'm not going to calm down, Je'Von,

897
01:06:02,425 --> 01:06:06,662
because I don't really give a damn
that you're wrestling Randy Orton next.

898
01:06:09,031 --> 01:06:13,569
[Vic] And Je'Von making Ethan Page pay.

899
01:06:16,439 --> 01:06:19,075
[Book] Oh, dog.

900
01:06:19,141 --> 01:06:21,444
[Vic]
You probably agree with that, don't you?

[Book laughing]

902
01:06:23,379 --> 01:06:26,415
[Vic] Well, get ready,
because in moments it's our main event.

903
01:06:26,482 --> 01:06:29,752
It's Je'Von Evans and Randy Orton next.

910
01:07:17,099 --> 01:07:21,670
[Vic] We are sold out in St. Louis. A
great two nights here with RAW last night,

911
01:07:21,737 --> 01:07:25,775
NXT tonight. But let's talk about
what's going to happen next week,

912
01:07:25,841 --> 01:07:28,511
because ahead
of our next Premium Live event,

913
01:07:28,577 --> 01:07:32,581
which is Halloween Havoc,
two weeks from Sunday, next Tuesday,

914
01:07:32,648 --> 01:07:37,119
it's the return of the
Halloween Havoc Wheel.

915
01:07:37,186 --> 01:07:40,423
You never know what it's going
to land on. Also next week, he did it.

916
01:07:40,489 --> 01:07:43,726
The Don conquered The Ruler
earlier tonight.

917
01:07:43,826 --> 01:07:50,833
Next week The Family will host the Tony
D'Angelo championship celebration on NXT.

918
01:07:50,966 --> 01:07:54,537
We had a little altercation which has led
to this. Two fierce competitors.

919
01:07:54,603 --> 01:07:57,006
Two of the best strikers
will meet one-on-one

920
01:07:57,073 --> 01:08:01,544
when Lola Vice faces the returning
Nikkita Lyons next week on NXT.

921
01:08:01,610 --> 01:08:07,116
And you do not want to miss this,
because Stephanie Vaquer will make her NXT

922
01:08:07,183 --> 01:08:10,352
in-ring debut against Wren Sinclair.
The wait is over.

923
01:08:10,419 --> 01:08:15,458
It's going down live next Tuesday,
right here on NXT.

924
01:08:19,161 --> 01:08:23,432
We are set for our main event.
There is The Young OG Je'Von Evans,

925
01:08:23,499 --> 01:08:27,803
who has to have butterflies
the size of eagles right now.

926

[bell ringing]

928
01:08:50,259 --> 01:08:55,297
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

929
01:08:55,364 --> 01:09:01,237
Making his way to the ring
from St. Louis, Missouri,

930
01:09:01,303 --> 01:09:06,108
weighing in at 290 pounds,

931
01:09:06,175 --> 01:09:10,112
The Viper,

932
01:09:10,179 --> 01:09:17,119
Randy Orton.

933
01:09:17,186 --> 01:09:24,193
[Vic] The sold out Factory in St. Louis
on their feet for their hometown hero.

934
01:09:25,861 --> 01:09:30,332
[Book] What a dream match, Vic.
What a dream match.

935
01:09:52,555 --> 01:09:54,557
[Vic] How is it, Booker?

936
01:09:56,125 --> 01:10:00,896
20 years in, Randy Orton looks better
than he did on his first day in the WWE.

937
01:10:00,963 --> 01:10:03,699
[Book] It's called the gym, Vic.
It's called working out.

938
01:10:03,766 --> 01:10:07,036
You might want to try it. It works.

939
01:10:07,102 --> 01:10:10,105
[Vic] The only Jim (gym) I know
is my brother, Book.

940
01:10:12,408 --> 01:10:18,180
Je'Von Evans wanted an opportunity weeks
ago. He was shocked it was Randy Orton

941
01:10:18,247 --> 01:10:22,218
when Orton posted on social media
the challenge for tonight.

942
01:10:23,219 --> 01:10:28,591
Orton wants to test Je'Von Evans.
Shawn Michaels invited him here tonight.

943
01:10:28,657 --> 01:10:33,329
He said he didn't just want to show up,
he wanted to come to St. Louis.

944
01:10:34,964 --> 01:10:38,667
He wanted to come to NXT.
He wanted to come to compete.

945
01:10:38,734 --> 01:10:42,438
[Book] Yes, he wants compete
against this young man, Je'Von Evans.

946
01:10:42,504 --> 01:10:46,208
See exactly what Evans is all about.

947
01:10:46,275 --> 01:10:51,246
He's heard the talk, he's heard
the chatter on Twitter, on the Internet.

948
01:10:51,313 --> 01:10:53,849
[Vic] It's called X, Book. It's called X.

949
01:10:55,484 --> 01:10:56,852
[Book] Okay, X.

950
01:10:56,919 --> 01:11:00,222
-[bell ringing]
-[Vic] This has to be, though, a…

951
01:11:00,289 --> 01:11:02,791
[crowd chanting] Randy!

952
01:11:09,031 --> 01:11:12,301
[Vic] Has to be a surreal moment
for Je'Von Evans,

953
01:11:12,368 --> 01:11:14,970
who wanted to become a superstar
due to his late grandmother.

954
01:11:15,037 --> 01:11:16,972
We've talked about that story.
What we haven't talked about

955
01:11:17,039 --> 01:11:22,778
is the first Premium Live that they ever
watched together was Extreme Rules 2012.

956
01:11:22,845 --> 01:11:27,783
The first match that night
he saw Randy Orton defeat King.

957
01:11:28,117 --> 01:11:30,519
[Book]
Oh, see, rookie mistake right there.

958
01:11:30,586 --> 01:11:33,355
That's not going to work with Randy Orton.

959
01:11:33,422 --> 01:11:36,125
He's in right now with a seasoned pro.

960
01:11:42,298 --> 01:11:46,602
[Vic] What are we going to learn
about Je'Von Evans in this match up?

961
01:11:46,669 --> 01:11:50,105
[Book] I think, Je'Von Evans,
he's young, he's very, very ambitious.

962
01:11:50,172 --> 01:11:54,576
We're going to learn if he's got what
it takes to make it at that next level.

963
01:11:54,643 --> 01:11:58,113
That's what this is all about.
This is a test, Vic. The ultimate test.

964
01:11:59,381 --> 01:12:02,084
[Vic] He was trying to get some intel
on Je'Von Evans.

965
01:12:02,151 --> 01:12:05,120
Wanted to know if he was as quick
as they say.

966
01:12:05,187 --> 01:12:07,389
And look at Je'Von Evans
trying to use that speed right now.

967
01:12:07,456 --> 01:12:09,091
I also want to bring this to you.

968
01:12:09,158 --> 01:12:12,895
You faced Ric Flair,
you faced Macho Man Randy Savage.

969
01:12:12,961 --> 01:12:15,931
How did you have to separate
your fighting spirit from your heart?

970
01:12:15,998 --> 01:12:18,033
[Book] You talk about that first legend.

971
01:12:18,100 --> 01:12:20,602
That first legend was The Nature Boy,
Ric Flair,

972
01:12:20,669 --> 01:12:25,107
just like that first legend
for Je'Von Evans is Randy Orton.

973
01:12:25,174 --> 01:12:28,243
It was a ball of nerves,
it was uncertainty,

974
01:12:28,310 --> 01:12:31,847
but I had to go out there and get
myself together and try to pull it off.

975
01:12:31,914 --> 01:12:34,383
-[Vic] That's twice.
-[Book] Rookie mistake.

976
01:12:34,450 --> 01:12:37,319
That's not going to work
with Randy Orton, son.

977
01:12:40,022 --> 01:12:43,726
You talked about an in-ring IQ
that's like no other.

978
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:46,362
[grunts]

979
01:12:46,428 --> 01:12:50,799
-Power as well.
-[ref] Out of the corner. One, two, three.

980
01:12:50,866 --> 01:12:54,703
[Vic] Orton, who's tied for the third most
World Championship reigns in history

981
01:12:54,770 --> 01:12:58,107
with 14, Money in the Bank winner,
two-time Royal Rumble winner,

982
01:12:58,173 --> 01:13:00,242
record for most Premium Live
in appearances by a male.

983
01:13:00,309 --> 01:13:03,312
And he has been able
to stay one step ahead.

984
01:13:04,813 --> 01:13:05,481
Until then.

985
01:13:05,547 --> 01:13:07,316
[Book] You don't want to play around
with this kid.

986
01:13:07,383 --> 01:13:12,321
Randy got caught right there,
but he's on Dream Street. Oh, wow.

987
01:13:12,388 --> 01:13:16,125
[Vic] The Young OG and Randy Orton
quickly having to get out of the ring.

988
01:13:16,191 --> 01:13:18,827
What a main event. Orton, Evans, live.

989
01:13:23,332 --> 01:13:26,468
Back live on NXT, sold out in St. Louis.

990
01:13:26,535 --> 01:13:29,772
Randy Orton versus Je'Von Evans
right here in front of us. And Book,

991
01:13:29,838 --> 01:13:34,109
when you think about everything that we've
witnessed throughout the commercial break,

992
01:13:34,176 --> 01:13:38,814
Randy Orton is really,
I mean, he's really given an education

993
01:13:38,881 --> 01:13:43,552
to Je'Von Evans.
A master class, if you will.

994
01:13:44,586 --> 01:13:47,489
-[Book] Surgically, Vic.
-[Vic] Trending number one sense this.

995
01:13:47,556 --> 01:13:50,592
Je'Von Evans able to counter.

996
01:13:51,894 --> 01:13:54,429
And whoa!

997
01:13:54,930 --> 01:13:57,733
Well, that boy is bouncy, Book.

998
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,602
[Book] Trying to live up to that moniker,
Vic, The Young OG.

999
01:14:00,669 --> 01:14:03,105
-The Young OG gets bouncy.
-[Vic] Look at the…

1000
01:14:03,172 --> 01:14:07,676
Oh. And he just got caught
by Randy, and Orton now.

1001
01:14:10,646 --> 01:14:13,415
-[Book] See that?
-[Vic] In the words of Michael Cole,

1002
01:14:13,482 --> 01:14:16,418
-vintage Randy Orton.
-[Book] Take care of your business.

1003
01:14:16,485 --> 01:14:19,488
[crowd chanting] One more time!

1004
01:14:26,428 --> 01:14:27,596
I got you, I got you.

1005
01:14:27,663 --> 01:14:31,733
[Vic] We talked about
that education, Book, firsthand.

1006
01:14:33,235 --> 01:14:35,304
[grunts]

1007
01:14:35,370 --> 01:14:38,307
-[Book] Calling it job training, Vic.
-[Vic] Third time!

1008
01:14:38,373 --> 01:14:43,145
[Book] On the job training, OJT. Yes, man.

1009
01:14:43,212 --> 01:14:46,715
[Vic] Book, we say he's bouncy,
we know he's bouncy.

1010
01:14:46,782 --> 01:14:49,618
But this isn't how we're
normally seeing him bounce.

1011
01:14:49,685 --> 01:14:53,388
[Book] Paying your dues, Vic. That's what
this is called, paying those dudes.

1012
01:14:53,889 --> 01:14:56,725
[Vic] Oh, my God.

1013
01:15:00,929 --> 01:15:05,701
And you gotta wonder
what Je'Von Evans is thinking now.

1014
01:15:11,773 --> 01:15:14,476
[Book] Not thinking anything, Vic.
He's in a lot of pain.

1015
01:15:14,543 --> 01:15:16,311
That's what he's thinking.
He's in a lot of pain.

1016
01:15:16,378 --> 01:15:20,249
[Vic] I can see he's in a lot of pain.
He's right here legitimately at my feet.

1017
01:15:23,585 --> 01:15:25,554
You're not going to
come over here and help?

1018
01:15:25,621 --> 01:15:28,390
[man] We want time-off.

1019
01:15:28,523 --> 01:15:31,159
[Vic]
Randy Orton has slowed this match up down.

1020
01:15:35,531 --> 01:15:38,867
And this is what we talk about
when we talk about the education.

1021
01:15:38,934 --> 01:15:43,705
Randy Orton taking his time right now
with Je'Von Evans.

1022
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,910
[Book] I'm going tell you right now,
Randy Orton is,

1023
01:15:47,976 --> 01:15:50,779
right now, he's surgical, Vic,

1024
01:15:50,846 --> 01:15:54,683
as far as this in-ring prep right now
and right now,

1025
01:15:54,750 --> 01:15:58,587
I'm going tell you right now, Je'Von Evans
is going to learn more from this one night

1026
01:15:58,654 --> 01:16:01,723
than he has in his whole career.
Trust me on that.

1027
01:16:03,759 --> 01:16:06,194
[Vic] Randy Orton coming in from SmackDown
here tonight to NXT,

1028
01:16:06,261 --> 01:16:10,899
just got caught by Je'Von Evans.
But speaking of Smack Down, it's official.

1029
01:16:10,966 --> 01:16:14,670
The WWE Women's Tag Team Title
will be on the line Friday.

1030
01:16:14,736 --> 01:16:19,441
Meta-Four's Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson
will challenge Bianca and Jade,

1031
01:16:19,508 --> 01:16:20,976
Friday night on Smack Down.

1032
01:16:21,043 --> 01:16:24,446
But the right here and the now,
it's Je'Von Evans trying to get

1033
01:16:24,513 --> 01:16:28,784
the biggest victory of his young career
over Randy Orton.

1034
01:16:28,850 --> 01:16:32,287
And Orton wanted to give Evans this
opportunity, because he had experiences

1035
01:16:32,354 --> 01:16:35,357
early in his career with Hall of Famers,
like The Undertaker.

1036
01:16:35,424 --> 01:16:37,092
Into the cover, kick out.

1037
01:16:37,159 --> 01:16:41,663
Like Triple H, like Shawn Michaels.
And this was just moments ago.

1038
01:16:41,730 --> 01:16:45,367
Je'Von Evans maybe getting that second,
third win, so to speak.

1039
01:16:45,434 --> 01:16:50,172
[Book] Yeah, he just pulled off one
of those signature Young OG moves.

1040
01:16:50,238 --> 01:16:55,877
Just a second… Oh, no. Oh no,
you're not gonna pull that one out.

1041
01:16:57,212 --> 01:16:59,047
[Vic] Evans right back in.

1042
01:16:59,748 --> 01:17:02,384
Into the cover, center of the ring.

1043
01:17:02,451 --> 01:17:04,152
And able to get that right shoulder up.

1044
01:17:04,219 --> 01:17:09,625
[Book] Talking about mean. That was
a mean power slam right there by Randy.

1045
01:17:09,691 --> 01:17:11,526
[Vic] And we talked about the education.

1046
01:17:11,593 --> 01:17:15,130
And what this moment means in the master
class, whatever words you want to use.

1047
01:17:15,197 --> 01:17:18,266
But do you think Randy is taken back
even by Je'Von Evans?

1048
01:17:18,333 --> 01:17:21,737
Je'Von Evans is only 20 years old.

1049
01:17:21,803 --> 01:17:26,108
[Book] Randy knows how skilled this young
man is. Randy asked for this match up.

1050
01:17:26,174 --> 01:17:28,877
He wanted to test this young man.

1051
01:17:28,944 --> 01:17:32,014
If he get caught, he's just going
to get caught. That's a man, dog.

1052
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,050
[Vic] And the voices in his head…

1053
01:17:37,452 --> 01:17:39,655
speaking loudly here tonight.

1054
01:17:41,089 --> 01:17:45,661
And St. Louis sold-out on their feet.

1055
01:17:45,727 --> 01:17:47,729
Know what's coming next.

1056
01:17:52,601 --> 01:17:54,302
[Book] Oh, baby!

1057
01:17:59,374 --> 01:18:03,145
[Vic] Setting his sights.
Viper ready to strike. Evans!

1058
01:18:04,379 --> 01:18:06,148
Oh, what a super kick.

1059
01:18:07,282 --> 01:18:11,720
-Randy Orton's knees just buckled.
-[Book] Kid been doing his homework.

1060
01:18:11,787 --> 01:18:13,989
[Vic] Evans has to know though,
right now, with the look on his face,

1061
01:18:14,056 --> 01:18:17,926
he's got to realize that this is
the moment. This is the time.

1062
01:18:17,993 --> 01:18:22,564
You gotta fly, you gotta hop, you gotta do
whatever the hell you gotta do!

1063
01:18:22,631 --> 01:18:27,002
What a cutter, cover. Is it another… Oh!

1064
01:18:27,069 --> 01:18:29,905
[Book] So close.

1065
01:18:32,074 --> 01:18:34,743
[Vic] We've already seen the hop.
We know what it's about.

1066
01:18:34,810 --> 01:18:39,047
Man, that was so, so close.
Looking for it again!

1067
01:18:42,651 --> 01:18:46,621
Orton able to just get out of the way
for a moment, and now with a little extra

1068
01:18:46,688 --> 01:18:52,294
-authority, deliver that RKO.
-[crowd] One, two, three!

1069
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,062
[bell ringing]

1070
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:57,599
[Randy Orton's music playing]

1071
01:18:57,666 --> 01:19:04,606
[announcer]
Here's your winner, Randy Orton.

1072
01:19:11,179 --> 01:19:15,083
[Vic] What an experience. What a match…

1073
01:19:15,884 --> 01:19:22,891
for Je'Von Evans. Not many have stayed
at the top for 20 years like Randy Orton.

1074
01:19:24,426 --> 01:19:29,097
But Je'Von Evans was looking good
in moments throughout this match up.

1075
01:19:29,164 --> 01:19:33,835
You talked about a growing experience.
Je'Von Evans had one tonight.

1076
01:19:33,902 --> 01:19:39,007
Je'Von Evans put his name
on the map in the WWE.

1077
01:19:40,041 --> 01:19:45,981
So close. I mean, you could slide a piece
of paper under Randy Orton's shoulders.

1078
01:19:46,047 --> 01:19:52,020
But then Orton, like he's done time
and time again, delivering that RKO.

1079
01:20:16,511 --> 01:20:19,214
[Vic] What a moment. What a moment.

1080
01:20:21,216 --> 01:20:22,884
Ethan, I am your boss.

1081
01:20:22,951 --> 01:20:25,854
And I'm the one who signs off
on all of the title opportunities.

1082
01:20:25,921 --> 01:20:29,825
So if you want a championship match,
you gotta earn it, buddy.

1083
01:20:29,891 --> 01:20:33,261
-Exactly.
-And so do you.

1084
01:20:33,395 --> 01:20:35,530
Next week, number one contenders match.

1085
01:20:35,597 --> 01:20:39,935
Whoever wins faces Trick Williams
for the NXT Title at Halloween Havoc.

1086
01:20:40,001 --> 01:20:41,369
Wes Lee versus Ethan Page.

1087
01:20:42,771 --> 01:20:44,539
You know what?

1088
01:20:44,606 --> 01:20:46,575
After his performance tonight,

1089
01:20:47,242 --> 01:20:51,246
I'm adding Je'Von Evans in the mix.
Triple Threat match.

1090
01:20:51,813 --> 01:20:53,915
[Vic] Oh, I cannot wait for next week.

1091
01:20:53,982 --> 01:20:59,087
But Randy Orton knows
the future is in good hands with NXT.

1092
01:21:10,398 --> 01:21:12,400
