[electric music playing]
[robotic voice] Extreme!
[music continues]
[Vic] We are sold out in Philadelphia
where Cody Rhodes finished his story at Wrestle Mania.
The city of brotherly love. The birthplace of America.
So rich in history and so rich in tradition.
But we're on the other side of the tracks.
Off the beaten path in South Philly
where grit and determination is needed to survive.
On the corner of Swanson and Rittner, in the birthplace of Extreme,
we are live and we are sold out at the historic 2300 Arena.
[crowd cheering]
Let's go!
[Vic] Well, the past meets the present
-when WWE Hall of Famer… -["Millions From Now" by 2 Chainz]
Bubba Ray Dudley, teams with NXT champion, Trick Williams,
as they're gonna take on Ethan Page and Ridge Holland
live here tonight on NXT.
♪ A million dollars from now, I won't remember you ♪
[Vic] There's the young OG, Je'Von Evans, taking in the sights
as he prepares to face Wes Lee. That match up also happens tonight.
These two go one on one live here on NXT.
There are five women who call themselves the backbone of the Women's Division.
They have a chance to prove that tonight
as they meet this group of hungry superstars
in what is going to be a massive all-star main event.
10-Woman Tag Team match live here on NXT from the 2300 Arena.

[bell rings]
[Mike Rome] The following contest
is a Hardcore match! [crowd cheering]
Now, please welcome special guest referee
and ECW own, Dawn Marie. [crowd cheering]
[Vic] Booker, did you ever think
we would see Dawn Marie back in a WWE ring?
-["Te Lo Romp" playing] -[Booker T] It's ECW tonight [laughs]
[Vic] An ECW original.
♪ What's your name, You forget it, call the medic ♪
Soy la que mando--
[Mike Rome] Introducing first, from Miami, Florida,
Lola Vice!
[Vic] And Book, this is the first ever women's Hardcore match on NXT,
and I'm being honest here,
is this a situation of the two alpha females
looking to prove dominance in the division?
[Booker T] For the first time ever, I agree with you, Vic.
Because let me tell you right now, Jaida Parker is in her DNA
to want it right now. And this one, oh my God.
["About That Time" playing]
[Mike Rome] And her opponent, from Port St. Lucie, Florida,
Jaida Parker!
[Vic] Book and crew, ha-ha, kicking us off tonight.
And look, Jaida Parker has shown off her Hardcore side in the past.
Don't forget, it was quite the fight between her and Michin here on NXT.
[Booker] Street fight, about four months ago,
let me tell you right there.
That's the Jaida Parker, they say,
show me something, she did that. Oh, here we go.
[Vic] Oh, right up, here we go.
[crowd chanting] NXT!
[Vic] And listen to the NXT Universe here,
I mean, you mentioned it earlier, we're in the birthplace of Extreme.
And you can go around as it didn't take long for Miss Parker
to find the hardware. [bell rings]
[Vic] And finally, the bell sounded. This one underway.
-[Booker] Oh! -[Vic] Oh, back fist through the chair.
[Booker T] Beautiful. Let me tell you something.
This young lady right here, Lola Vice, educated hands.
Educated feet. Oh my God, man.
[Vic] Vice has never competed under these sort of rules.
But take another look at this.
-[striking] -[Vic] I mean, did you hear?
That was a fist through a chair.
Can we agree again that Vice's fists
are as damaging and dangerous as anything Parker can get her hands on?
[Booker T] For the second time, I agree with you, Vic.
-[Vic] What the hell's going on today? -[Booker T] What the hell is going on?
[Vic] Oh, well, we can tell you what's going on.
Jaida Parker did not like what Lola Vice was thinking there moments ago.
Look, even in a standard match, when it comes to Jaida Parker,
-her antics are barely legal. -[thudding]
But this time, it's Parker who tastes the steel.
[Booker T] Two different fighting styles as well, Vic.
I feel like Jaida Parker, more of a street fighter, more technical.
As far as Lola Vice goes, this is gonna be very--
styles make fights, Vic.
[Vic] As this match up continues, there is Wes Lee.
You saw Je'Von Evans earlier.
It's Wes Lee putting in some final moments of preparation
as those two will tangle here tonight on NXT
as we're kicking off tonight with the first ever women's parkour match in NXT history.
And as this is in its early stages,
who truly do you think has the advantage in this sort of match?
[Booker T] No, no, in this type of fight, I gotta give Jaida Parker the advantage.
Like you say, that street fight with Michin,
she came and she brought the noise, Vic.
[Vic] Well, there's certainly history between these two.
They came together to fight the same cause for a moment.
There was a miscommunication which caused Parker to walk out
-on Vice, if you remember. -[Booker T] Come on, Vic.
[Vic] No, you know exactly what I'm saying.
-You have to agree with me. -[Booker T] Ava-- look here.
If Ava made one mistake, that was it.
All right? I'm gonna just put it out there. All right?
[Vic] Well, look around right now. You talk about mistakes.
One slip, and someone certainly is gonna taste the steel
once again in this match up.
And the question is, who will go through Hardcore hell and Hardcore Heaven
here tonight at the 2300 Arena?
Sold out in Philadelphia.
And that chair just crumbled under Jaida Parker,
and Parker in obvious pain right now.
And look how quickly Lola Vice-- What is she thinking?
[Booker T] Oh, baby. This is serious. Oh, man.
[crowd awing]
-[thudding] -[crowd awing]
[Booker T laughs] Yeah!
I love it, man.
Let me tell you, we're right here,
like you say, in the birthplace of Hardcore Heaven, ECW Arena.
And right now, we're making new memories, man.
[Vic] As we've mentioned, Je'Von Evans, Wes Lee,
will go one-on-one here tonight on NXT live from the 2300 Arena.
But also, big Tag Team match up, NXT champion, Trick Williams,
ECW original, WWE Hall of Famer, Bubba Ray Dudley,
teaming up to take on Ethan Page, Ridge Holland.
And it looks like Lola Vice…
[Booker T] She's gonna, she's [indistinct] Is that what we're calling it?
[Vic] You can call it whatever the hell you want.
Right now, it is certainly effective, as again,
Parker bouncing off the steel chairs that she brought
into this Hardcore match up.
Let's not forget, it's Dawn Marie--
[Booker T] Oh, so to the green, Vic, to the--
-Wait a minute, don't say nothing. -[Vic] DDT!
Into the cover.
-[crowd] One, two… -[Vic] Dawn Marie.
In good position, only getting a two count.
And Dawn Marie has noted she has been watching this from afar.
When we talk about ECW history, managed the impact players
to the ECW Tag Team title.
She certainly is very familiar with what happens inside this arena.
-And this is getting a little-- -[Booker T] Should we start packing early?
[Vic] We need to get out of the way right now.
Both women taking it to each other.
Who survives this Hardcore match live on NXT?
[Jaida groaning]
[Vic] Back live here on NXT, the first ever women's Hardcore match in NXT.
Kicking us off tonight from the sold out 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.,
special guest referee Dawn Marie, an ECW original,
overlooking the action here tonight.
And look, do you agree with the difference
both of these women have in opinion of this match up?
Lola Vice, to her, I would say credit, wants to knock out Jaida Parker.
Well, Jaida Parker, she wants to use the weapons to knock down
and prove a point to Lola Vice.
[Booker T] When you look at the ladies' backgrounds, Vic,
Vic, I mean, Lola Vice, she's been competing since she was a little girl.
And I'm gonna tell you, Jaida Parker, she's been fighting her whole life.
Like I say, styles make fights. I love this. Oh, yes.
[Vic] Looking around, all the tools of destruction at their disposal
and everything legal. Spine buster.
And Jaida Parker letting Lola Vice know all about it.
Huge night here on NXT, again, sold out from South Philly.
There's Je'Von Evans.
He will meet Wes Lee one-on-one here tonight.
Those two finally going to tangle, hopefully settle the score here tonight.
But what is on the mind of Jaida Parker?
[Booker T] I think here, Je'Von, just to go back to that,
he has something to prove tonight, Vic, big time.
Oh, here we go.
This is ECW style right here, Vic.
Somebody's about to get hurt.
She's gonna do it?
[Vic] Jaida Parker backs up what she says.
She will do anything to win.
[Booker T] Drop zone. She's in the drop zone.
Lola's in the drop zone, Vic.
-[ladder snaps] -[crowd cheering]
[Vic] The teardrop through the ladder.
-[Booker T] Snap. -[crowd chanting] Holy sh--!
[Vic] Parker dragging out Vice, hook to the leg.
Dawn Marie with the count and another near fall.
I'm sure that's not the only time we'll hear that chant here tonight.
[Booker T] Check it out, Vic. Check it out. Oh, my God!
Talking about snap, crackle, and pop.
[Vic] Talking about Jaida Parker, oh!
And there's that MMA background coming in for Lola Vice in this match up.
And Jaida Parker now starting to fade. Parker down to one knee.
Lola Vice trying to clinch, trying to hold on, trying to squeeze.
[Booker T] Lola's in a wheelhouse right now, Vic.
She shouldn't have started this contest [crosstalk]
Trying to go one-on-one, mano-a-mano. I didn't like that from the beginning.
[Vic] These two trying to put the issue with themselves to rest.
They need to move on from one another.
I don't know many people that wanna square up
in an alley with Lola Vice,
but I don't know many that would wanna meet Miss Parker
in a back alley either.
[Booker T] Talking about moving on, Vic. This is just part of the game.
You're gonna have these crossroads many, many times throughout your career.
[crowd chanting] Holy sh--!
[Vic] Listen to the NXT Universe. These two kicking us off tonight.
Sold out from the 2200 Arena. Trending number one right now is NXT.
And this is just the beginning, Booker,
of what's gonna happen here tonight as Parker, target acquired.
Oh! Hit first off the steel steps.
[Booker T] Hot, hot, hot start, Vic,
but that was a miscalculation by Jaida Parker.
[Booker T] And Dawn Marie doing a great job, as officials tell Lola,
you gotta get back in the ring to win the match, and another near fall.
Pinfall submission has to take place inside the ring
in this first ever women's Hardcore match here on NXT.
And Lola Vice…
[crowd cheering]
-[thumping] -[crowd cheering]
[Vic] …just lighting up Jaida Parker.
Uh-oh.
[striking]
[Vic] Looking like Bryce Harper and the Phillies.
I don't know about you, but I think Lola's enjoying
this sort of style of match up.
[Booker T] Let me tell you right now, Lola Vice's best side
is coming out right now. She's not just a combat fighter, Vic.
-She's a fighter. -I'm a Latina.
[Booker T] Oh, yes. Put some green on it.
[Vic] That's twice you've used that. You can't use it again.
You're gonna be over your limit for tonight.
[Booker T] What about some Franklins? Put some Franks on it?
-[crowd] One, two… -[Vic] Cover, and another near fall.
Oh, she needed a little more hot sauce on that, Book,
to try to put Parker down for the three.
And Parker, though, wisely rolling to the outside.
She's got to regroup right now.
[Booker T] There's no quit in Jaida Parker, Vic.
You saw that going back four months ago in that street fight, Michin--
-[Vic] That's true. -[Booker T] No quit in this lady.
[Vic] Continuing to think as she moves, again,
so much taken out of these two women.
These two women who despise,
dislike the other.
Oh, the wind got knocked out of my lungs.
-[striking] -[Lola groaning]
[Booker T] I'm thinking about Jaida Parker, Vic.
Pains, you don't mind that.
This is gonna be a long night for Lola Vice.
[Vic] And again, great job by our special guest referee,
Dawn Marie, here tonight, making sure that these two keep it inside the ring.
It is a Hardcore match, but you have to win inside the squared circle.
-[striking] -[Vic] Oh!
[Booker T] Oh, man! That's hot.
That's super hot right there, Vic.
-[Vic] You like that sort of thing, Book? -[Booker T] Oh, yes, man.
-[thumping] -[crowd awing]
[Vic] These two are just beating the hell out of each other.
[Booker T] You said it, first Hardcore match
in NXT's history, right?
The ladies, they're making history, Vic.
[Vic] That steel chair, Booker.
That steel chair just bent off the back of Lola Vice.
-[crowd cheering] -[Booker T] That's how much they want it.
That's how much-- Oh!
[Vic] I think Lola might rethink as everyone rising to their feet.
Sold out in Philly.
[Booker T] Here we go.
Oh, man!
[Vic] Right into the ladder. Didn't even bounce.
Is this gonna be enough for Jaida Parker?
And Lola Vice kicking out again.
Parker almost beside herself right now, Booker.
What a way to kick off NXT here on a Wednesday night on the ECW.
[Booker T] I'll tell you, that last shot right there,
I thought that was gonna be the kill shot,
but Lola Vice is definitely stepping up to this occasion tonight.
Hardcore style here in the ECW, the former ECW.
-[Vic] Go for it again. -[Booker T] Here we go.
[Vic] Second time right now will be the charm.
Lola Vice now. Deep submission locked in. Look at the body scissors.
Squeezing the air out of the lungs of Jaida Parker.
And there's no rope break here, Book.
Lola Vice looking for the submission. Looking for the tap bout.
And Parker fading. Jaida Parker fading.
In this moment.
[crowd awing]
[Vic] Booker, was that a brick?
[Booker T] Wow!
[crowd] One, two…
[Vic] I don't know how.
How is Lola Vice continuing to fight
in this match up after what just happened?
Where the hell did a brick come from?
-[Booker T] Did you see that? -[Vic] Wait a minute.
Jaida lining up with a little extra, as you called it.
[Booker T] Nice. That's got to be it.
-[Vic] Hypnotic. -[crowd] One, two, three.
-[bell rings] -[Vic] And Jaida Parker victorious.
-[Booker T] What a night! -[Vic] Wow.
[Mike Rome] Here is the winner, Jaida Parker!
[Vic] What a match this was here tonight.
And what a moment right here. Bam. A brick to the face.
Followed up by a hypnotic to the jaw.
You can count as high as you want to,
because Parker again proves she is as bad as they come in NXT.
The fighting city of Philadelphia. The birthplace of America.
Which I find fitting that an Englishman and a Canadian
are here to bring the fight to Trick Williams and Bubba Ray
and ruin tonight's night of nostalgia.
Ethan believes he deserves to be NXT champion.
I do.
But I need to be NXT champion.
So tonight, we put our differences to one side.
And Trick, in this city, Stand & Deliver, you've soared to the highest of heights.
But in that dump they call the ECW arena,
we're gonna drag you down to the lowest point of your career.
And we promise there won't be any monuments,
no statues, no fairytale endings.
And especially no tables.
[crowd boos]
[crowd cheering]
[Rob Van Dam] Way to focus.
Seriously, good job, Kelani. I'm impressed with your balance.
You got tonight, big main event, Ten Women Tag match.
And next week, you got your rematch for your title.
Yep, I get my North American title
-back next week. -Yeah.
But tonight's tag match is a really big deal.
-[Kelani exhales] -Yeah.
Hey, if you wanna be a standout, stand out by beating Fallon tonight.
You know what?
-That's a great idea. -Great.
-Thanks, RVD. -Yeah.
Oh yeah, you were looking for Ava's office?
Oh yeah, it's that way. All right, I'll see you later.
-Thank you. -[Kelani chuckles]
[Wes Lee] Move. Get down. What's up, bro?
-[groaning] -[striking]
[referee] Wes, Wes. Stop, Wes. Get off him.
-Get out of here, let's go. -[Wes Lee] Get your hands off me, man.
I made the decision for you, Rob.
[referee] Okay, out of here. Let's go. Rob, are you okay?
-[crowd booing] -[referee] Let me get some help.
-Medical, please. -["Who Want It" playing]
Yo' let's go!
♪ Who want it? I want the world ♪
[bell rings]
[Mike Rome] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Greensboro, North Carolina,
weighing 180 pounds, Je'Von Evans!
[Vic] Booker, what the hell was that from Wes Lee?
I don't even know if Je'Von Evans knows what just happened.
It's Evans and Lee, live next.
[Shawn Spears] Tony and Nick, how are you. There he is.
-What you doing? Following me? -I just wanna talk--
[Nunzio] Oh, Mamaluke, look what we have here.
-The freaking D'Angelo crew. -We're a family, not a crew.
-[Mamaluke] Easy, easy. -Family, crew, whatever.
But right now, we're here to talk to Tony.
What's the matter, Tony? Your phone broken? I know I called you.
I left a message. You didn't call me back. Everybody calls Nunzio back.
Relax, all right? I meant no disrespect.
Well, disrespect's already taken. I'm sorry. It's already been felt.
Since you didn't call us, I made a phone call myself.
I called Ava.
Next week, Rizzo, you are face-to-face against Nikkita Lyons.
[all awing]
Okay, you guys got a little power now or what?
We got a little power now? We've always had power in South Philly.
And now, I'm gonna show you how much power we have.
You're gonna pay a tax. You know what that tax is, Tony?
Tonight, that NXT North American Championship
will be defended right here in South Philadelphia, versus me.
-[crowd cheering] -Okay. Thanks.
You sure you wanna do that?
-Positive. -Let's go.
-Taxing you? -I already called the crew.
[Tony D'Angelo] Relax.
[Vic] How about that, Book?
Family gonna fight over the North American title.
Will D'Angelo pay the ultimate tax?
-Live, here tonight. -[Booker T] You're damn right.
You're damn right he's gonna pay.
["Assemble" playing]
[Mike Rome] And his opponent, from Dayton, Ohio,
weighing in at 178 pounds, Wes Lee!
[Vic] Well, we're having a lot of fun tonight with someone
who is taking the fun right out of the evening.
I'm sure you like that blindsided assault on RVD
that we witnessed before the break by Wes Lee.
[Booker T] Sniper, that's what we need to call this kid
because he's serious, man.
This is a different Wes Lee. And you know what? I like it.
[Vic] Well, we got a little bit of breaking news right now
because with everything that's been going on here tonight,
with everything between these two, with what Wes Lee just did moments ago,
the environment that we're in,
I just got word that for the rest of the evening,
our referees will be lenient.
They'll be using their own referee's discretion.
[Booker T] Look, look, look. I hope RVD is okay, all right?
-I hope he's in the hospital resting now. -[bell rings]
[Vic] Well, look, when it comes to Wes Lee,
it's safe to say this is not the same Wes Lee that we once knew.
You put him in front of his peers,
they would say he's guilty as charged for being vindictive and resentful.
[Booker T] I agree with that.
Wes Lee, when I first got to NXT, this kid didn't show me a whole lot.
But he grew on me and he did it very, very quickly.
And this version could be the best version.
Oh. Wait a minute.
[Vic] Well, we know these two are gonna be very quick.
-Both wanted… -[Booker T] It's a test match.
[Vic] …wanted to get a piece of the other for quite some time.
And look at that. You can say it again, because we are at a stalemate.
Now, when it comes to Je'Von Evans, I think he had handled himself
a little bit better in recent weeks in terms of his attitude.
Let's not forget that slap to Frazer.
Wait for that cutter. It's countered by Wes Lee.
[Booker T] Oh, baby.
Like I said, a young man gotta stick up for himself, Vic.
You cannot be passive in this business.
[Vic] We talked about that slap up over. Whoa, that was nice.
-[crowd] One, two… -[Vic] Shoulders down, near fall.
He also went after Lee last week,
which left Cedric Alexander alone in the ring
during that Tag Team match up for the NXT Tag Team titles.
And Wes Lee taken for the ride. Big kick right to the face.
[Booker T] Oh, God, man!
[Vic] Still to come tonight, that massive Tag Team match up there,
WWE Hall of Famer, ECW original Bubba Ray Dudley.
He will team with the NXT champion, Trick Williams.
Taking on Ridge Holland, Ethan Page as Evans goes up,
goes over, has to put on the brakes for a moment, and Lee charging in.
[referee] Come on, Wes Lee, get it in. Let's go.
[Booker T] This match I've been highly anticipating right here, Vic,
because both of these men are somewhat mirror images of each other.
[Vic] Well, you know what? You do bring up a good point--
Nice little 619 assist around the steel post.
And sum up for me, what is Wes Lee's problem with Evans?
Oh, and here we go with Wes Lee now on the outside.
And look at the official.
The official warned him that he's gonna use
his discretion in this match up,
as we've been told all the officials will use here
for the rest of the night.
[Booker T] This kid's a fighter, but we're not gonna-- back to Wes Lee.
Why has he made this big change? What has come over Wes Lee?
Wes Lee does not wanna see the parade go by.
He wants to be a part of it.
-That's it, Vic. -[Vic] Oh!
[referee] Hey, get it inside.
[Vic] Into the post again.
First time it was an assist from Wes Lee.
That time he was just shoved right into it was Evans.
And now, Lee on the outside, looking for the suplex.
-Evan trying to get down. -[Booker T] Trying to find out, Evan.
-[Vic] Certainly trying to. -[Booker T] That was close.
That was very close.
[Vic] Oh, Brain Buster!
-Oh, my God! -[Booker T] Man!
[crowd chanting] Holy sh--!
[Vic] Back live on NXT, Je'Von Evans one-on-one with Wes Lee.
These two have been at each other for the last several weeks,
but they're here tonight going one-on-one, sold out at the 2300 Arena.
And in some odd, stranger things, upside-down world,
does Lee think he's helping Evans?
[Booker T] Come on, what are you talking about, Vic?
No-- and, no. I don't think that. Here we go! Here we go!
-[thudding] -[Booker T] You got to be kidding me.
-[Vic] You can say that again. -[Booker T] That young man, that young OG.
[Vic] Well, if he was trying to help him,
he might be rethinking his strategy, because look at the eyes.
Look at the determination. The same determination.
[Booker T] One might ask, is it too much too soon
for this young man? I do not think so.
The meteoroid rise, the big match is going one-on-one with the Viper.
This situation, you got to love it, man.
[Booker T] Not only that, but Je'Von Evans,
someone who may have ended a premium live at just 20 years old.
Can you imagine what you would have done at 19 years old with a WWE contract?
[Booker T] Man, this kid is living his best life.
And that was a shock. Oh, my God, man.
-[Vic] Evans looking-- -[Booker T] Here we go.
Here comes this young OG, Vic.
[Vic] Looking to swat away the gnat that is Wes Lee.
[Booker T] Oh, man.
[thudding]
[Booker T] Beautiful. Beautiful.
I'm gonna tell you, this young man is one of a kind, Vic.
He's so different than the rest.
[Vic] Take another look. Feel the impact.
Je'Von Evans, who's into the cover, hook to the leg, and a near fall.
You know, we talk about a group of men and women that went to the Extreme
to prove that they were the future.
As much as things change, they stay the same.
Je'Von Evans, part of that new generation,
who's ready to prove that the future is now.
And for Evans, different look in his eyes, because he looks angry, he looks poised.
[Booker T] He's poised. He's poised to take over this business, Vic.
But I'm gonna tell you right now, Wes Lee is not gonna let it happen that easy.
[Vic] Well, Wes Lee's a fighter.
We talk about the championship pedigree for Wes Lee.
-Tag Team champion. -[Booker T] Vic.
[Vic] North American champion at one point.
[Booker T] Let me tell you something. This business is all about your spot.
Wes Lee is not gonna let his spot be taken by this young OG.
Oh, no, it's not gonna happen like that.
-[Vic] Wes Lee. -[Booker T] Look at the balance.
[both Vic and Booker] Oh!
[Booker T] Look at the timing. Look at the precision.
[Vic] Super kick, poison runner.
[Booker T] My God, that right there was…
[Vic] Sensational there.
-[Booker T] That's it. -[Vic] Party at kick.
-[Booker T] That's it. What? -[Vic] No.
[Vic] Book.
Book, I think I can count on one hand.
-[Booker T] That's a first. -[thudding]
That's a first, Vic.
[Vic] I'm glad you said it, because I can't remember it.
Those that have kicked out of the cardiac kick.
What a night it has been.
And still to come, a special announcement from our general manager, Ava.
And we understand that is gonna happen next here live on NXT.
Oh, I know I've talked about it.
The referees are gonna use their discretion
for the rest of the night,
but our official right now staring a hole through Wes Lee.
[Booker T] Wes Lee is taking his time right now, Vic.
The damage has been done. That cardiac kick done.
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on, man.
[Vic] That's Dallas Irvin doing a great job, our official here.
-The shoulder's down. -[crowd] One, two…
[Vic] And oh, you got to imagine that moment
Irvin was getting the steel chair out.
[Booker T] Look, if Wes Lee wanna get disqualified,
that's his business.
What the hell is going on around here?
[Vic] Back in, cutter.
From the tippy top.
Evans got all of it.
Trying to get into the cover. Oh, Wes Lee.
[Booker T] That's the smartest thing Wes Lee did all night long, Vic.
[Vic] Wes Lee just able to get out of the ring.
Oh, whoa, whoa, Evans looking to fly.
-[thudding] -[crowd awing]
[crowd chanting] Holy sh--!
[Booker T] Whoa, baby.
Let me tell you something.
This Wes Lee right here, Vic, I told you,
this man right here, it's not about coming out here
and winning this match. It's about--
[Vic] Book, you got me? Book, hello?
[Booker T] I got you, it's about sending this young man a message
that you've got to pay your dues before you make it to this level.
-That hard level. -["One Of A Kind" playing]
[Vic] Oh, yeah!
-[Booker T] What the hell? -[Vic] No way.
[Booker T] What the hell? What the hell?
[Vic] Wes Lee may have made the decision for RVD,
but Rob Van Dam is here.
RVD back in the 2300 Arena.
[Booker T] Thought he was in the hospital.
[referee] Get back in the ring, Wes.
-[crowd member] Wes, let's go. -[thumping]
[crowd chanting] RVD!
[Vic] First time Evans connects.
I mean, I'm just stunned that RVD is out here,
as you mentioned, looking to fly again, another cutter.
[Booker T] Get out of there, Wes Lee. Roll, son.
[Vic] Another cover.
And now RVD on the outside, shouting,
giving words of encouragement moments ago to Je'Von Evans.
[Booker T] He's not gonna do that. He's not gonna do that.
-[Vic] And with the help of Rob-- -[Booker T] No, he can't make it that far.
-[Vic] With the help of Rob-- -[Booker T] There's no way he can do it.
-[Vic] Let me finish my statement. -[Booker T] There's no way.
[Vic] With the help of Rob Van Dam, Evans can fly.
-With a frog splash… -[crowd] One, two, three.
[Vic] …a statement victory…
-[bell rings] -[Vic] …for the young OG.
["Who Want It" playing]
[Mike Rome] Here is your winner,
Je'Von Evans!
♪ Let me ask you again (it's the end tell a friend) ♪
♪ Who want it? ♪
♪ Time to battle we was built like this Take a look man ♪
[Vic] Our monitors are broken.
I don't even know if my headset's working.
What a fight between those two.
It's quite the moment with RVD and Je'Von Evans here tonight.
♪ Declare war when the streets keep calling ♪
I'll say, it was kind of what he deserved.
Well, I guess you can't keep down Rob Van Dam.
Hey, it's much cooler when he does it.
-Anyways, Ava, you guys [indistinct] -Yeah, I'm on it.
[Eddy Thorpe] Hey, Ava, can I have a minute?
I realized you didn't have time to talk. It happened real last minute--
Listen, Eddy, I would love to, but I gotta go.
-I gotta get to the ring, okay? -Come on, Ava, that's twice now.
Hey, I know, and I promise we'll talk eventually.
Just not right now.
[rap music playing]
[crowd chanting] Ava!
What an exciting night so far! [laughing]
[chanting continues]
NXT, this brand, it is such an honor
for NXT to be held in such a historic Arena.
And the electricity in here is undeniable.
[crowd cheering]
This brand is all about passion.
And Philadelphia fans are the most passionate
and hardcore fans in all of wrestling.
[crowd cheering]
Now, before we get back to the action, I have some exciting news.
NXT will be headed back on the road for our next premium live event, Deadline.
On Saturday, December 7th,
-in Minneapolis, Minnesota… -[crowd booing]
…the Iron Survivor Challenge will return,
which is the most exciting 25 minutes in all of wrestling.
Well, Ava, I gotta say, I mean, that's great news,
and Deadline is gonna be a great show.
But I don't know if it was a good idea to lie to all these people.
What are you, what are you talking about?
Well, you said Philadelphia fans are the most hardcore fans that there is.
But everybody knows New York fans
are way more hardcore than Philadelphia fans.
-[crowd booing] -That's very debatable.
Why, why would you say that? What are you doing?
To be real, to be very honest with you, hear me out, the truth hurts.
I mean, Boston fans are more hardcore than Philadelphia fans.
[booing continues]
In the good days of ECW, I get it,
you people were the talk of the town.
But just like the Phillies
and just like the Eagles, your time has passed.
[booing continues]
What? Why does this place not pay their electric bill or something?
[Stevie Turner] Uh, Rob, you might want to turn around.
Stevie, what are you exactly talking about?
-[Vic] Booker, a gore from Rhyno. -[Booker T] Wow.
["Monster" playing]
[Booker T] Yeah!
[Vic] The hits keep on coming tonight.
[music continues]
Tonight here in ECW, we're gonna beat all of our enemies.
Oh, yes, we are. Yes, Giulia.
-It's time to get extreme. -[all] Mm-hmm.
[speaking Spanish]
Guys, Stephanie said her and Giulia
are excited for tonight because we get to show the impact
of the NXT Women's Division.
And those five women may have run NXT in the past,
but looking at our team, their run ends tonight.
And it's end game tonight.
Wait, Kelani, you know Spanish?
Sí. Three years at Michigan State, baby.
In a place that has seen so much history, tonight, we create some of our own.
[Lash Legend wailing]
Speaking of history,
did y'all see Miss Jackson and the Boujee Bully
do our thing at Crown Jewel over the weekend?
That's right, we were so close
to becoming the new Women's WWE Tag Team champions.
So while y'all might be the dream team,
I got my money on the champions of this division.
[Lash chuckles] Good luck, ladies, because y'all are gonna need it.
-Let's show them, Kel. -Yes.
["With A Smile" playing]
[Vic] Huge main event still to come,
but Rhyno on NXT alone, back in the ECW Arena.
I'm not gonna lie, that was an impressive moment.
[Booker T] It was a shaggy-duggy, quack-quack moment, man.
["Can't Stop Winning" playing]
[Vic] But we are set for Tag Team action, live on NXT.
[bell rings]
[Mike Rome] The following contest
is a Tag Team match scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, the team of All Ego,
Ethan Page and Ridge Holland!
[Vic] Who'll have bragging rights after tonight. Tag Team action's next.
["Locked In" playing]
-[crowd] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] What?
-[crowd] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] Yeah.
-[crowd] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] Uh-huh.
-[crowd] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] I like it.
-[crowd] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] Oh yeah, man.
-[crowd] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] We're in the 2300 Arena, man.
Come on. That's Trick.
That's the champion, dawg. That's the NXT champion, that man.
Yeah, that man.
-[crowd] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] Oh yeah, man.
[Mike Rome] And their opponents, first, from Columbia, South Carolina,
weighing in at 240 pounds,
he is the NXT Champion,
Trick Williams!
[Booker T] Yeah. Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, Vic, give me some. Come on.
-[Vic] Well, what I wanted to say was-- -[Booker T] Give me some, Vic.
-[Vic] Give you some what? -[Booker T] Uh-huh.
-[crowd] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] Oh, yeah, man.
-[Vic] What do you want me to-- -[Booker T] Oh, yeah, come on.
-[Vic] Stop cutting me off! -[Booker T] You ain't got no damn level.
["We're Coming Down" playing] [Bubba Ray] Yeah, I'm coming down.
Yeah, that's right.
♪ It's like a family in here, just a little disabled ♪
♪ Puttin it down, we lay ‘em out on the table ♪
♪ Who's in the house, the brothers in the house ♪
♪ Got to turn it on out ♪
[Mike Rome] And his Tag Team partner,
he is one half of the Dudley Boyz,
WWE Hall of Famer,
Bubba Ray Dudley!
[Vic] The Dudley Camo, back on for an ECW original
who helped Trick Williams at Halloween Havoc.
[Booker T] He built this house. He built this.
[Vic] Trick returned the favor last Tuesday.
And Bubba Ray Dudley is back in the WWE set
for his first match in eight years.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker T] Hey, Captain. Huh?
Huh, are those for me? Are those for me?
Oh! Oh! Oh, it's gonna happen. I'm joining the team for one night.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker T] That's Bubba Ray.
Bubba Ray is here tonight to make a statement.
And the thing is, [indistinct] this is not how it works.
Let me tell you something.
Bubba Ray may not be as great as he once was,
but tonight, he can be great once right here in the ECW Arena.
One time for your mind. Oh, yes!
[bell rings]
[Booker T] You all right, Vic?
[Vic stutters] I was gonna ask you the same thing. You all right?
[Booker laughs]
[Vic] The Dudley family, though, legacy certainly built,
as you put it, this Arena. Listen to the NXT Universe.
[Booker T] I can see better with these.
[Vic] A very spirited NXT Universe here tonight.
You even have lenses.
[Booker T] You ain't lying, they're spirited in here.
We're in the ECW Arena. Look around.
[crowd chanting] Whoop that trick!
-[both Vic and Booker] Oh! -[Booker T] That's total disrespect.
Gen Z, Gen X. That's what it's all about these days.
[Vic] Well, Page and Ridge wanna ruin the nostalgia of tonight.
[Booker T] Not now, Bubba. Don't do it. Wait this thing out.
-[crowd cheering] -[Booker T] Whoa!
[Vic] Well, I never thought I'd be sitting in the 2300 Arena in 2024,
let alone calling a Bubba Ray Dudley match in NXT.
And we're having a lot of fun here.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Hearing the NXT Universe here tonight, spirited.
-[thudding] -[Vic] I think that's a very fair word.
[Booker T] Yes, it is. Great job and man, this match up, I got goosebumps right now.
Bubba Ray is representing the old school, the OGs from the past.
And the thing is, how you gonna tell a man he can't do it like he did it once before?
How you gonna do it, Vic? You can't goddamn do it.
[Vic] As you said moments ago about maybe not being as good
as he once was, Ridge Holland right now taking it to…
Come on, here we go. Come on.
[Vic] …Bubba Ray Dudley.
And why get in the face of Bubba if you're Ridge,
like he did in Halloween Havoc? Not just once, but twice.
[Booker T] You know what I think Bubba Ray
initiated that confrontation, though. I mean, come on, Vic.
-[thudding] -[Vic] Really?
[Booker T] Yes, I do. I believe that.
[Vic] That's how you see it with your glass window lenses?
[Booker T] I do believe that.
[Vic] Well, Bubba Ray's starting to turn things around
in this match up right now, Trick back in.
[Booker T] One thing about Bubba Ray, he is a Tag Team specialist,
one of the greatest Tag Team practitioners in this business.
You gotta give him that. Second to I don't need a first.
[Vic] Well, hold on a second, because the Dudley Boyz
are the greatest Tag Team ever.
The only team to win the WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, and IWGP Tag Team titles.
That's a big kick. Page is legal.
And look at Page, right on top of the NXT champion.
And Page right now, you just wonder what's going through his mind,
what he sees through his eyes when he sees Trick Williams,
because let's not forget, both Page and Ridge Holland
both won the NXT championship.
[Booker T] Come on, what are you up to? That was a great tag.
What's he you doing? Oh, beautiful move.
[Vic] And that was a great counter.
And still to come, talking about championship,
North American Championship will be on the line.
Tony D'Angelo facing Nunzio, as Bubba Ray back in.
Oh! Meeting of the minds.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker T] You know how powerful that is?
They say the last thing you need, Vic, is power.
-[thudding] -[Vic] Springboard!
A little assist from Bubba to Trick.
-[crowd cheering] -[Vic] You can feel the energy.
Who's walking out victorious tonight?
Back live, sold out in Philadelphia.
Tag Team action, Page-Ridge, Trick-Bubba.
What a match up this has been.
The referee distracted by Ethan Page. Ethan Page!
-[Booker T] Oh, yes! -[Vic] Oh, now who are you rooting for?
[Booker T] Oh, yes! Look, what are you talking about?
This is a great Tag Team strategy right there.
[Vic] Unbelievable. Cutting corners.
It's really turned into such a curmudgeon.
[Booker T] I know. I'm just telling it like it is, man.
-I'm calling the action. -[Vic] You're wearing the glasses.
Oh, you're standing on your feet. You're hooting, hollering.
And now you're telling me it's great that he just got,
you know, the 7-10 split on the post?
-[Booker T] Wait a minute, wait a minute. -[Vic] Wait a minute, what?
[Booker T] Ridge Holland is right now unleashing that man
inside that beast right now. I'm loving it.
[Vic] Ridge, no sense of remorse. Into the cover. Doesn't hook the leg.
Kick out. Is he the most dangerous man in NXT?
Honestly, is he the most dangerous man in NXT?
[Booker T] Come on, I said it a long time ago.
Once this man let that beast out,
he's gonna be something special here tonight.
If he can do it, I'm talking about put Bubba Ray Dudley down,
that's a notch on the belt, dawg.
[Vic] Ridge, a destructive force.
Just look at what he did to Chase University.
NXT tonight has certainly been a November to remember.
And how about Ava announcing on Saturday, December the 7th,
Deadline coming to Minneapolis, Minnesota,
the next time we're on our premium live event.
-[Booker T] You see that, Vic? -[Vic] I did not.
[Booker T] You see that? Bubba Ray is out of gas right now.
I think that's what it is, the cardio--
-[Vic] Oh, is he playing possum? -[Booker T] The power. I just said it.
[Vic] Straight outta Dudleyville and looking to make a tag.
[Booker T] How do you abandon your partner like that?
[Vic] What are you talking about?
[Booker T] What do you think D-Von is thinking right now?
[Vic] Tag was made to Trick.
I'm paying you zero mind for the rest of the match.
As now look at these Booker T-esque sidekicks.
And it's now coming right back in. Trick throwing hands.
And Trick Williams, outside of his NXT title,
when the biggest moment was in the main event
of the biggest Stand & Deliver during the biggest Wrestle Mania weekend
of all time, right here in Philadelphia.
[Booker T] Trick still has to do it all by himself right now,
because I'm looking at Bubba Ray,
-he looks a little-- -[Vic] Whoa!
[Booker T] He looks a little confused right now, Vic.
[Trick screaming]
[Vic] And talking about Trick Williams, it tells me Trick is dazed and confused.
-Rock Bottom! -[Booker T] Oh, yes!
[Vic] Looking to bookend the match and breaking it up.
Ethan Page, and Page right on top.
And look at Page, maybe looking for that Ego's Edge.
And there comes Bubba Ray.
[Booker T] Big shots. Big shots from-- Oh, man.
[Vic] Jumping neck breaker.
And Ridge on his feet. Not anymore.
Look at Trick Williams, the NXT champion right now.
He's feeling it.
[Booker T] Shake it out. Shake it out, Trick.
Here we go. Oh, got caught. Got caught.
[Vic] Looking for that trick shot counter.
-[bell rings] -[Vic] Oh! Oh, my God.
Ridge has pinned the NXT champion.
["Can't Stop Winning" playing]
[Mike Rome] Here are your winners, the team of All Ego,
Ethan Page and Ridge Holland!
[Vic] Ridge just shocked the sold-out crowd…
-[Booker T] Wow! -[Vic] …in the 2300 Arena.
-[Booker T] He just beat the champ. -[Vic] Hey!
-[crowd booing] -[Vic] Well, the match is over.
[Booker T] Come on, Bubba. Bubba, get in there. Get in there, Bubba.
Get in there.
[Vic] Well, Bubba doing his best. This match is over.
But you know what?
Ethan Page is getting exactly what he deserves.
[Booker T] Right now like a ping pong.
[Vic] Page is taking some cheap shots online
at both Trick and at Bubba Ray Dudley.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Wait a minute.
-[Booker T] Trick, come on. -[Vic] You don't think.
[Booker T] Don't do it. Come on.
-Don't do it. -[Vic] Booker.
-[screaming] Buh buh buh! -[crowd cheering]
[thudding]
[Vic] The nostalgia is running wild.
Ethan Page didn't ruin a damn thing here tonight.
[crowd] Table! Table! Table! Table!
One, two, three!
[crowd] Get the table!
-Table! -[Booker T] Who's gonna get it?
[crowd chanting] Table!
[Vic] Ethan Page said there would be no tables here tonight.
[chanting continues]
[Trick] Hey, Buh, there ain't no tables.
[Booker T] Come on, man.
[crowd booing]
[Booker T] We ain't got time for this right now, Vic.
-["Ollie Stalefish" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Wait, no, no way.
[music continues]
-[Vic] Oh, testify. -[Booker T] Oh, hell no.
What the hell is he doing here?
[Vic] D-Von Dudley is here.
And he brought a table.
Oh, how sweet. How sweet it is.
[Booker T] Get off of me.
[Booker T] Is this necessary?
-[D-Von] Put him in.
[Vic] Yes.
-[Vic] Oh, my! -[thudding]
[crowd cheering]
["We're Coming Down" playing]
[Vic] A table for one in Philadelphia for Ethan Page.
[music continues]
[Trick screaming] Yeah!
Yeah!
She [indistinct]
-Dang, bro. -Ugh!
Sorry. Samantha, Carla, Keisha?
Some of us are just born lucky, I guess.
-Yeah, I guess, but it's not Karmen? -Here we go.
-[Karmen Petrovic] There you are! -Here I am.
What happened two weeks ago?
Hmm, so you are interested.
I knew it.
Listen, about that. That was just me being--
Look, you cost me a match, and I thought we were even.
Plus, who even was that girl?
[sighs] That was… [smirking lips] …my girl.
-Oh, your girl! -For now, but it's nothing serious.
Look, it's cool. You and your flavor of the week stay out of my business.
You know what? And honestly, I'm not even locked in with you for real.
And you with all this attitude.
Just not my type.
Oh, and last week was your birthday, right?
Well, happy belated.
You knew it was my birthday?
Okay, then.

[Vic] NXT North American title on the line, live next.
A 10-Woman Tag in the House of Extreme.
But what's really extreme is two current champions,
two former champions, and a future champion.
The way we see it is our five opponents want to desperately
be where the five of us are, and that is the top.
To be successful in this match, it comes down to trust.
And that is exactly what we have in each other.
I mean five successful women bounded by the same thing,
keep the newbies out, and stay in control of this division.
Tonight, the best women's division in wrestling
is exactly where it deserves to be.
-In the main event. -Yep.
And the women who run that division will be exactly where they deserve to be.
The ones with their hands raised and their titles in the air.
-["Full Blooded Italians" playing] -[Vic] Best division in women's wrestling
takes center stage in our main event tonight.
[bell rings]
[Mike Rome] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is for the NXT North American Championship!
Introducing first, accompanied by Tony Mamaluke,
representing the Full Blooded Italians,
Nunzio!
[Vic] Should Nunzio feel disrespected,
as he put it, not getting a call from Tony D'Angelo?
-["Strictly Business" playing] -[Booker T] You come across the bridge,
you make that phone call first, man.
[Vic] Now the challenger said the champion will pay the tax tonight.
[music continues]
[screaming] Oh yeah, baby!
[Mike Rome] And his opponent, accompanied by the Family,
he is the NXT
North American champion,
the Don of NXT,
Tony D'Angelo!
[Vic] I wanna go off something you just said, Booker,
because she carries a lot of weight.
[Booker T] What's that?
[Vic] Tony may be the Don at the Performance Center.
-[Booker T] Yeah. -[Vic] Opponent runs South Philly.
North American Championship to be decided here tonight.
[Booker T] And what I like about Nunzio, sometimes you want something done…
-[bell rings] -[Booker T] …you got to do it yourself.
This is the elder. This is the elder right here.
This is one of the original OGs, Nunzio.
Still got the talent. Still got the quickness. I love it, man.
[Vic] Oh, there--
Well, look who's on there.
Tony Mamaluke trying to get up into this match up,
and look, the Don turned around. This is a family affair.
I've been trying to really wrap my head around this match up
since we learned about it earlier.
[Booker T] Don't hit Mamaluke.
-Mamaluke got big stroke here. -[Vic] Oh!
[Booker T] What the hell?
[Vic] Well, from behind, Nunzio, a former two-time ECW Tag Team champion,
a former two-time Cruiser weight champion as well,
he certainly knows how to get it done.
A Sicilian shooter, some would say,
but Tony D'Angelo, I think, done messing around.
[Booker T] Tony D'Angelo, I mean, he has a hell of a crew with him.
You know what I mean?
You talk about family and family business, we're talking about Nunzio.
[Vic] Maybe this is all they need. I even got to suck a bit with that one.
Looking for a handshake. Bam! Big belly-to-belly.
And you know, he sounded like you earlier, that being Nunzio,
saying that the D'Angelos are a crew, they're not a family.
They are a family.
[Booker T] What's the definition of family?
-Mother, father, brother, sister, cousins. -[Vic] That's not true. We're a family.
[Booker T] No we're not. No, we're not. We're coworkers at best.
[Vic] Championship on the line. Can Nunzio shock the world.
Can he become the North American champion here at NXT.
As we are in the 2300 Arena, sold out in South Philly.
D'Angelo charging in, got caught.
-And boom! That's the Sicilian Slice! -[Booker T] …with a good kickback.
-Oh, that could be it. -[Vic] The Sicilian Slice! Oh!
-That was-- -[Booker T] Oh, here we go!
Talking about shenanigans.
[Vic] With the brass knuckles, there's what look
like Stacks giving the Don a crowbar.
Look at, it's Luca Crucifino who, I believe, gave a couple of looks.
Plan coming to play and uh-oh.
[referee] Put that down. Give me that. Give me that.
What are you doing?
[Vic] Caught red-handed. And then, just got planted.
[thudding]
-[Vic] Say goodnight! -[crowd] One, two, three.
-[Vic] The Don retains his title. -[bell rings]
["Strictly Business" playing]
[Mike Rome] Here's your winner,
and still the NXT North American champion,
the Don of NXT,
Tony D'Angelo!
[Vic] I thought by not making that phone call,
Tony was living dangerously with his championship on the line.
But Luca Crucifino had a plan.
And it was right before this massive spine buster.
Crucifino finally rallied the troops. Rizzo went to the right.
Stacks went to get the crowbar to even the odds.
And the-- Oh, excuse me.
Come here.
[Vic] That's good to see the families coming together…
[Booker T] He's in the family, Vic.
[Vic] …and uniting as Tony D'Angelo
remains the NXT North American champion.
[crowd cheering]
[Stacks] Let's go!
[D'Angelo] Come on, baby.
Perfect.
Perfect? What do you mean? He's riding high.
That's exactly where I want him to be. Brooksy, are you hungry?
-Yeah, I'm hungry. -Good.
Because I'm feeling Italian. Next week in Orlando.
Oh, gotcha [chuckles]
-That hurts. Mr. Regal, I'm sorry. -There's nothing to be sorry for, Lex.
-I just couldn't use the brass knuckles. -Yeah.
Look, if I'm gonna win, I'm gonna do it right.
Lexis, I'm so impressed with you. You didn't take the easy way out.
You've proven that you're not your father's son.
Really, I'm so proud. Good luck on your journey.
Thank you, Mr. Regal.
[Lexis grunts]
Take care.
Nice try, old man.
I guess he didn't have it, did he?
[Regal exhales]
Damn, he's not his father's son.
What about you, Charlie? Are you your father's son?
I guess only time will tell.
I told you all I'd be watching you, months ago.
And as I see it, this NXT Tag division is wide open,
and that's where you two come in.
If you think about that, this isn't just his group.
This is all of ya'll group.
[chuckles] He's so father-like.
[Vic] Well, it is main event time.
An all-star field
as the best women's division in wrestling takes center stage.
10-Woman Tag Team match up, live next.
[Nikkita Lyons sighs] Yeah, Rizzo, I took you out.
Oba needed a favor, and I took him up on it.
I knew when I returned, I had to come a little different.
You see, I've been on the other side of these attacks before.
Well, we've entered a new timeline. And now I'm flipping it.
Now I'm the aggressor. I am the attacker.
The lioness is not going to wait her turn.
I'm taking success for myself and taking it from everyone else.
Rizzo, you are just the start.
And baby girl, I promise you that you will not be the last.
I keep hearing how we have a stacked women's division.
Well, stack them in front of me
and I will drop them one by one until there is one woman left.
Next week, Rizzo, it starts with you.
What I will say is, blimey, Rob. That gaunt look like it hurts.
Can you just get him to the EMTs right there?
-Yeah. -Sure. Come on, Rob.
Congratulations on your Victory last week. That was quite the match.
-Thank you, Ava. -Thank you very much, Ava.
See, I told him that we'd have it in the bag.
He doesn't listen to me.
Anyways, now that that is behind you guys,
I just want to let you know that I'm gonna be meeting
with all the Tag Teams next week just to address the division.
-Do we need to be there? -No, don't worry about it.
I will just let you know when I know your next opponents.
Well, that's perfect, right?
More time that we have to prepare for whatever is next.
I don't know about you, pal, but that sounds like an off week to me.
Hey, I'll catch you up in a bit, all right?

[Vic] Whenever these three are around,
-anarchy rules. -["Generation Of Jade" playing]
They rejected decisions to bring in athletes
who they feel have been handed opportunities, so to speak.
[Booker T] It's all about paying some dues, man.
[Mike Rome] And their Tag Team partners, first,
Cora Jade!
[Vic] Didn't miss a beat at Halloween Havoc,
second match back
since reconstructive surgery on her left knee.
["All Fall Down" playing]
[Mike Rome] Now making her way to the ring,
she is the NXT Women's champion,
Roxanne Perez!
[Vic] And if you ask her, she'll tell you, this match up is because of her.
Every woman around the world has eyes on NXT because of Roxanne Perez.
[Booker T] Vic, what does it feel like, huh?
What does it feel like, huh, to be this close to greatness.
Roxanne Perez, the Prodigy. Is she that good?
Is she that good, Vic? Oh, yes!
[music continues]
[Booker T] What a hell of a team. What a hell of a team.
I'm picking this team. I'm picking this team right here.
[Vic] I'm sure you are.
["Bury Me" playing]
[Mike Rome] And their opponents, first, from Sacramento City,
Stephanie Vaquer!
[Vic] We've heard for weeks, she wants to create a new backbone
of the women's division.
["Thick Mama Pump" playing]
[Mike Rome] Next, from Boston, Texas,
Jordynne Grace!
[Vic] Now, Booker, this really is an all-star match up
of all ten of these women with a chip on their shoulder,
much like the ECW originals.
["Out Of This World" playing]
[Mike Rome] From Palm Beach, Florida, Kelani Jordan!
[Vic] She got quite the pep talk from RVD, a hero of hers, earlier tonight.
We'll see if she's able to stand out in our main event.
[Booker T] Something's missing, don't you think?. Something's missing.
[Vic] We're talking about the championship?
She's got a chance to regain that next week.
[Booker T] I thought-- You hit it right on the head.
["Tortured Minds" playing]
[Mike Rome] From Adelaide, South Australia,
Zaria!
[Vic] Booker, how impressed were you with Zaria last week?
[Booker T] No, no, this one, this one scares me just a little bit.
-["Time Of Arrival" playing] -[Booker T] Highly impressed, Vic.
[Mike Rome] And her Tag Team partner, from Tokyo, Japan,
Giulia!
[Vic] She was fired up earlier tonight.
What a main event we have for you here live.
Our women taking center stage.
It's an all-star field. Who's walking out Victorious next on NXT?
And of course, Wrestle Mania is right here in Philadelphia,
the biggest Wrestle Mania of all time.
But what a main event match up we have here tonight.
Sold out Philly, 2300 Arena.
It was Rob Van Dam who told Kelani Jordan, you wanna stand out, go take out,
go pin the Women's North American champion.
That being Fallon Henley, and they will have an opportunity to do so
next week when that championship is on the line.
But Booker, how about Lola Vice, Jaida Parker, Hardcore match up,
first one ever in NXT to kick off the night here on NXT.
[Booker T] Like I said earlier, the history was made right here
at the 2300 Arena, and what a night has it been, Vic.
[Vic] And now you have the best women's division in wrestling
in the main event tonight.
The spotlight shining on all 10 of these women.
And then you start to think about December.
December 7th with the Women's Iron Survivor match up.
[Booker T] There's that picture when he went to break there.
All these ladies face to face.
That one right there just tells me all of the past-- here we go.
[Vic] And look, you talk about a lot of pressure,
something we always talk about, and we see again the impact
immediately from Stephanie Vaquer.
How has she handled the pressure
of high expectations since arriving here at NXT?
[Booker T] She stepped right in here to NXT, and she fits perfectly.
But I look at this five-woman team,
a lot of individuals, no real relationships, Vic.
I think that's gonna be their downfall here tonight.
[Vic] Jazmyn Nyx made the tag. She is legal.
And you always wondered, does she know who is really fighting her?
Some would say spotlight stealers.
As she gets into the cover, hook on the leg.
That, of course, being Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne.
[Booker T] Jazmyn Nyx, the N-Y-X,
she's sitting right there under the learning tree,
learning everything she needs to know about this business.
[Vic] About to learn a little bit more here.
[thumping]
Let's go!
[Vic] Into the cover. Will it be enough? Ooh.
[crowd chanting] Women's wrestling!
[Booker T] Got to have the right insurance, Vic.
And the right insurance is having Roxanne Perez as captain.
That team, what a captain.
Been doing this since she was 16 years old, man.
[Vic] I know you're trying to get a plug in
because you're part of the WWE ID program, the reality of wrestling.
But let's focus on the ten women in the ring
because we are seeing some Tag Team tandem offense
from Vaquer and Giulia, as another near fall.
And Giulia, another superstar, who has had high-pressure situations,
has been able to come over to NXT.
-How is she a good captain? -[Booker T] You know what?
I must say Giulia is top-notch talent
because she stepped in there with the Prodigy.
She knows what it feels like.
She came up a little short, but she will get another chance.
[Vic] There's the Prodigy again.
Had her 16-match winning streak
snapped at Halloween Havoc by Stephanie Vaquer.
And now Giulia looking for a submission.
Giulia not a fan of Lash and Jakara earlier tonight.
However, Meta-Four did have a great showing at Crown Jewel.
Can't take that away from them, but still trending number one as we have
since the beginning, NXT. Cover, count, kick out.
[Booker T] Giulia bringing a whole different style tonight,
working that Japanese arm bar right there,
putting Roxanne in a whole lot of pain in this match-up, Vic.
[Vic] Some of that innovative offense from Giulia.
It's countered, though, by Roxanne Perez, the Prodigy, as you put it, here in NXT,
as you called her on your radio show, a future Hall of Famer.
[Booker T] Now, she's special, Vic.
[Vic] Didn't get all that uppercut, certainly got enough of it, though,
to rock Giulia.
Now speaking of getting rocked, big knees from Cora Jade.
-Perez charging in with-- -[Booker T] Ain't nobody better.
-One thing about Roxanne-- -[Vic] Cover, cover, cover, cover.
[Booker T] Roxanne Perez, she's prolific, Vic,
and I'm gonna tell you right now,
ever since she's been back together with Cora Jade,
that's a special match up.
-[Vic] Boom! -[Booker T] Oh, yes.
[Vic] And when it comes to Cora Jade, she says she outworks the women's division
even on her days off.
Is everyone who's doubted her
going to be asking for forgiveness now that she's back?
We're gonna answer that, from behind, shoulders down.
[Booker T] No, Cora Jade, that time off did her a lot of good, Vic.
Gave her time to reflect on this business.
And one thing about this business, I say it all the time, it's about checks,
it's about checks, it's about championships.
[Vic] Oh, I think Cora Jade just realized this could be the beginning of the end.
Pure power from Zaria.
-[thudding] -[Booker T] Bam.
Everybody want a piece of the action.
That's why they're showing up here in NXT, Vic.
[Vic] Well, there's Jacy Jayne who might regret her decision
tagging in wanting a piece of the action, as you put it.
She felt that headbutt once before.
Zaria in control, and, man,
she has changed the game here in NXT in a very quick period of time.
[Booker T] She's dealing with the pros here in the middle [crosstalk]
-[Vic] There's that power. -[Booker T] …right here in Jacy Jayne.
Give me a little help, Fallon.
[Vic] You hear that screaming from Jacy Jayne, Fallon?
Oh, Fatal Influence, everyone in the ring, all ten women.
[Booker T] It's about to break down.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] You can say that again, Book.
[Booker T] Yeah!
[Vic] All ten wanna prove they're the best.
All ten want the spotlight.
And the very best right now, swinging away.
[Booker T] You just can't show up here in NXT
and take the spotlight, Vic.
It's not gonna happen that easy.
[Vic] The NXT Universe has been vocal. They have been spirited.
They have been on their feet here in Philadelphia.
[Booker T] Go ahead, referee. Get some control, ref.
Get some control, damn it.
[Vic] Roxanne Perez back with the backbone
of the women's division here in NXT.
But Booker, for the here, for the now,
look who's standing tall.
-And now look who's flying. -[Booker T] What the hell?
[Vic] The standout wiping out everyone.
[Fallon Henley screaming] Let's go!
[Vic] Who's walking out victorious tonight?
[crowd chanting] NXT!
[Vic] Back live sold out a special Wednesday NXT tonight,
10-Woman Tag Team match up.
An all-star match up of the best women's division
in all of wrestling.
[crowd] One, two…
[Vic] This was happening early on in this match up,
and really turning things around was Jacy Jayne.
And now, once again, Jacy Jayne on the outside,
trying to help out the best she can, but there's Jazmyn Nyx.
[Booker T] Oh, the N-Y-X, baby.
[Vic] And now, all of a sudden, Fatal Influence
has taken over this match up.
And look, when it comes to Fatal Influence, Cora Jade,
the NXT Women's Champion, of course, I think Roxanne Perez,
do those five run the women's division at NXT?
Big Senton, don't answer that. Hook of the leg. Now you may.
[Booker T] No doubt, because if you know the golden rule,
Vic, he who has the gold makes all the rules and Roxanne Perez.
Everyone's got to remember
[Vic] It's hard to argue your point there.
Jacy Jayne may be the X-Factor of Fatal Influence.
A confident trio, no doubt.
But right now, it's Kelani Jordan desperately needing to make a tag.
Boom! Starting to fire back.
[Booker T] Come on. Come on, Rockstar. Come on, let's sell some tickets, baby.
And talking about those tickets, man, they went like hotcakes, Vic.
They went like hotcakes.
[Vic] You weren't lying for once, I have to admit to you.
You weren't lying when it came to what was gonna happen here tonight
in South Philly, 2300 Arena, but this is the main event.
Looking to make a tag, and hey, Fallon Henley!
[Booker T] Great Tag Team work by Fallon Henley, the pro.
That's what she is, Vic. She's a pro.
[Vic] I'm taking a look over here to my left,
trying to regroup myself in this match up.
It's Kelani able to land on her feet, wrong part of town,
able to dodge one, roll through the other.
And there's a tag.
TNA wrestler, Jordynne Grace
is about to change the game in her own way.
[Booker T] Talking about falling them down.
-Here we go. Oh, my God, man. -[Vic] And a German suplex.
[Booker T] Look at the power. Look at the power.
[Vic] Grace looking to make an impact once again here in NXT!
-Two for one. Are you kidding me? -[Booker T] Wow.
[Vic] She's certainly crossed the line again, and taking things over.
[Booker T] Grace is making a statement here, Vic.
Looking to finish the thing right now. Oh, big shot. Big shot. That could be it.
-[crowd] One, two… -[Booker T] Man, so close.
[Vic] Gotta give the devil her due and Cora Jade able to kick out.
Tag was made and now Zaria, the legal superstar.
You talk about powerhouses, look at the power in the ring.
Don't let Cora's chances.
-[thudding] -[Booker T] Double up. Double up.
-One time on Cora Jade. -[Vic] Double stack.
Roxanne Perez breaking up the count.
[Fallon Henley screaming]
[Vic] What action, what mayhem, what chaos.
This, our main event.
Zaria just got wiped out right here in front of us.
-In comes Giulia. Beautiful madness. -[Booker T] Watch yourself, Roxanne.
-[Vic] Getting her some of the champion. -[thudding]
[thudding]
[Vic] Jacy Jayne even in the odds there's Stephanie Vaquer
and bodies certainly hitting the floor.
[Booker T] Bam!
[Fallon screaming]
[Vic] Fallon Henley out of nowhere.
[Booker T] North American champion right there, Vic.
[Vic] But look at Kelani Jordan.
She'll meet Fallon Henley next week
to try to regain her Women's North American Championship
when we return to Tuesday night here on the CW.
But right now, it's not about championships.
It's about pride, and all 10 of these women
want our very pride for you know that. They wanna be Victorious.
They wanna be able to stamp their claim to being the best.
But look at who is the one that is standing in this moment.
-[Booker T] Nobody. -[Vic] It was Giulia for a moment.
but she just collapsed back down to the mat.
So much taken out of all 10 of these women
who are putting it on the line and on this live match up.
[Booker T] Oh, Boujee Badass.
[Vic] Boujee Bully, but I'll let you slide on that.
Because right now, Jakara Jackson just got wiped out.
They got in the face of Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer earlier tonight.
Jakara, Lash may be regretting that confrontation.
But back in the ring, tag was made. Roxanne Perez is legal.
I don't believe anybody on the opposition knows that Roxanne is the legal superstar
who comes flying right out in front of us. Right here to your right.
[Booker T] Pack it up. I feel something's about to happen.
-[Vic] Cora Jade! -[crowd awing]
[Vic] Right here at our feet. But remember who the legal superstar is.
It's Roxanne Perez.
Perez who said that the best women in the world are here because of her.
[Booker T] The Prodigy, Vic. The Prodigy.
She didn't slip on a banana peel and became the champion.
[Vic] The NXT Women's Champion looking to take down Zaria,
but too powerful.
Here's the newcomer from Australia who just wiped out Cora Jade.
Look at Jordynne Grace. Ooh.
I feel bad for our official.
Oh, Grace!
[Booker T] That's what I was talking about earlier, Vic.
[Vic] Spear!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Miscommunication.
And there's the Prodigy looking for Pop Rox.
Countered. Uh-oh.
Perez takes the ride.
[Booker T] Come on, Roxanne.
-[Vic] Into the cover. -[crowd] One, two, three.
-And Zaria just beat the Women's Champion. -[bell rings]
[Mike Rome] Here are your winners, the team of Kelani Jordan,
Guilia, Stephanie Vaquer, Jordynne Grace,
and Zaria!
[Vic] What a main event.
What a night here sold out in Philadelphia.
We'll be back next Tuesday at our regular time.
But this team's victorious tonight. They're the ones standing tall.
But these women all know
that there can only be one Women's Iron Survivor.
