are the same thing.

to get out the gate.

And maybe Stephanie Vaquer is right,

145
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:07,343
that Cora believe Vaquer is another threat
that she has to get rid of.

146
00:07:07,376 --> 00:07:10,229

in NXT, Vic.

00:08:07,870 --> 00:08:10,456
one of the originals. Look here.

172
00:08:10,489 --> 00:08:12,892
She helped build this brand, Vic.

173
00:08:12,925 --> 00:08:14,677
-What? Come on, man.
-[Vic] Don't get hot.

174
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:19,165
She thinks she's the reason
for Roxanne Perez's last 12 months.

175
00:08:19,198 --> 00:08:21,417
Roxanne became the Superstar

176
00:08:21,450 --> 00:08:24,103
that Cora Jade always wanted her to be.

177
00:08:24,136 --> 00:08:26,339
[Booker] Jade has been
a friend to the end.

178
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:30,927
She has did nothing
but put Roxanne Perez over…

179
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,030
has done nothing but praise Roxanne Perez.

180
00:08:34,063 --> 00:08:36,933
That's a true friend.
That's a true friend right there, Vic.

181
00:08:36,966 --> 00:08:38,668
[Vic] Let's not forget
it was Cora and Perez

182
00:08:38,701 --> 00:08:42,138
who attacked Stephanie Vaquer
two weeks ago here on NXT.

183
00:08:42,171 --> 00:08:44,106
Vaquer trying
to get her hands on Cora Jade.

184
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:46,425
[Booker] You know what that's called?

185
00:08:46,459 --> 00:08:48,494
That's called a master plan, man.

186
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:50,229
That's called a coup d'état.

187
00:08:50,263 --> 00:08:53,983
That's called taking out the opposition.
That's what that's called, Vic.

188
00:08:54,016 --> 00:08:56,619
[Vic] Or is it called
Cora and Perez showing their fear,

189
00:08:56,652 --> 00:08:58,754
targeting Giulia's friends and allies?

190
00:08:58,788 --> 00:09:01,190
[Booker] Like I said, Vic.
I mean, come on. Come on.

191
00:09:01,224 --> 00:09:03,292
That's a plan. A master plan.

192
00:09:03,326 --> 00:09:04,577
Even you can see that.

193
00:09:04,610 --> 00:09:06,846
[Vic] We are here
in Lowell, Massachusetts,

194
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:08,998
Christmas Eve edition of NXT.

195
00:09:09,031 --> 00:09:11,951
And Cora Jade, no one home.
Right in that top turnbuckle.

196
00:09:11,984 --> 00:09:14,670
-[Booker] Oh baby! That's a sleeper.
-[Vic] Bam! Just ate that!

197
00:09:14,704 --> 00:09:16,505
[Booker] That's
a sleeper right there, Vic.

198
00:09:16,539 --> 00:09:18,574
[Vic] And we're talking about, tonight,
in two weeks,

199
00:09:18,608 --> 00:09:22,428
the NXT Women's Championship
going on the line in Los Angeles.

200
00:09:22,461 --> 00:09:27,700
Giulia, Roxanne Perez,
Women's title at WWE New Year's Evil.

201
00:09:29,018 --> 00:09:31,771
And Stephanie Vaquer back in control.

202
00:09:31,804 --> 00:09:33,472
[Booker] Cora's
in dire straits right there.

203
00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:35,508
She's in a bad, bad position.

204
00:09:35,541 --> 00:09:37,226
[Vic] Imagine that,
without your Kendo stick

205
00:09:37,260 --> 00:09:38,961
and your best friend jumping in
from behind.

206
00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:41,464
-[Booker] What are you saying?
-[Vic] There was a sneak attack.

207
00:09:41,497 --> 00:09:43,816
[Booker] You saying
she can't do it all on her own?

208
00:09:43,849 --> 00:09:45,601
Oh, wait a minute.

209
00:09:45,635 --> 00:09:47,186
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

210
00:09:47,219 --> 00:09:51,173
[Vic] Uh, Cora again,
like a snake in the grass slithering to--

211
00:09:51,207 --> 00:09:57,747
-Oh, wait a minute!
-[Booker] Oh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Oh yeah!

212
00:10:00,983 --> 00:10:01,884
[Vic] Cover!

213
00:10:01,917 --> 00:10:03,369
[crowd] One, two…

214
00:10:03,402 --> 00:10:05,338
-[Booker] Man!
-[Vic] Still not enough.

215
00:10:05,371 --> 00:10:07,940
[Booker] So close. What do you call that?
What do you call that?

216
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,242
[Vic] I'll let you name it.
Still not enough

217
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:11,727
to keep Cora Jade down,

218
00:10:11,761 --> 00:10:13,112
as Stephanie Vaquer…

219
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:17,817
How about the devil's kiss?

220
00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:19,769
-You like that, Book?
-[Booker] I like it a lot.

221
00:10:19,802 --> 00:10:21,387
[Vic] I'll let you call that from now on.

222
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:24,073
-Week in and week out.
-[Booker] Can we see it again?

223
00:10:24,106 --> 00:10:25,474
[Vic] A chance to catch my breath.

224
00:10:26,008 --> 00:10:27,443
-[screams]
-[Vic] Nice submission.

225
00:10:27,476 --> 00:10:28,661
Locked in, center of the ring.

226
00:10:28,694 --> 00:10:32,031
Look at the torque
on the right knee of Cora Jade,

227
00:10:32,064 --> 00:10:34,984
who on one leg, tried to…
Oh, that's one way to break the hold.

228
00:10:35,017 --> 00:10:37,236
Right into that middle rope,
and then following up.

229
00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:39,438
-[screams]
-[Cora grunts] Get up.

230
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:41,357
[Vic] Cora back in control now.

231
00:10:42,058 --> 00:10:43,843
Looking for a gut wrench. Connects.

232
00:10:43,876 --> 00:10:46,962
[Booker] You know, I think, sometimes,
you forget how good Cora Jade really is.

233
00:10:46,996 --> 00:10:49,098
[Vic] Into the cover.
This'll be a big win as…

234
00:10:49,131 --> 00:10:51,150
[Booker] Always talking about
that time off.

235
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:52,034
[screams]

236
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:55,871
[Booker] But right now,
this is big, big reset for Cora Jade.

237
00:10:57,056 --> 00:11:00,893
[Vic] I think that's also an important
note that you just brought up about Cora.

238
00:11:00,926 --> 00:11:02,728
She's still finding her footing back.

239
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:04,597
She's shaking up the ring roster for sure,

240
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:07,483
and she's trying to pick up
a statement with the biggest win

241
00:11:07,516 --> 00:11:08,634
since her return.

242
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:11,837
But nice combination offense
from Stephanie Vaquer.

243
00:11:11,871 --> 00:11:14,323
-Vaquer now…
-[Booker] Oh no.

244
00:11:14,357 --> 00:11:15,775
Uh-uh!

245
00:11:15,808 --> 00:11:18,077
[Vic] Dropping Cora Jade.

246
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:19,261
[crowd] One, two, three!

247
00:11:19,295 --> 00:11:22,932
[Vic] And "The Dark Angel"
drags down Jade tonight.

248
00:11:24,066 --> 00:11:29,555
[Mike] Here is your winner,
Stephanie Vaquer!

249
00:11:29,588 --> 00:11:31,590
["Bury Me" playing]

250
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:36,278
[Vic] Quite the way
to start to close out 2024.

251
00:11:36,312 --> 00:11:39,932
Cora Jade in control during this matchup.

252
00:11:39,965 --> 00:11:42,435
Was very close to picking up
that statement we talked about.

253
00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:45,421
But in the end, it was Stephanie Vaquer

254
00:11:46,205 --> 00:11:48,924
who would power through Cora Jade

255
00:11:48,958 --> 00:11:51,610
to pick up the victory here tonight.

256
00:11:52,395 --> 00:11:56,365
Christmas come early for Stephanie Vaquer.

257
00:11:57,083 --> 00:11:58,067
Booker!

258
00:11:58,684 --> 00:12:01,353
-[Booker] What is this all about?
-[Vic] That's Kelani Jordan!

259
00:12:03,422 --> 00:12:05,124
Kendo stick in hand.

260
00:12:05,157 --> 00:12:06,392
Watch out!

261
00:12:07,359 --> 00:12:10,396
Well, no doubt that Cora
has a long list of enemies.

262
00:12:10,946 --> 00:12:16,051
And it appears Kelani has put her name
to the top of that very list.

263
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:19,438
Pretty festive.

264
00:12:19,472 --> 00:12:21,257
I didn't get the memo
on painting our skin red.

265
00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:22,892
-Listen, you guys are ready.
-Yeah.

266
00:12:22,925 --> 00:12:25,010
Don, you got us
an early Christmas present,

267
00:12:25,044 --> 00:12:27,146
a spot in
the Christmas Chaos Fatal Four-Way.

268
00:12:27,179 --> 00:12:28,447
Listen, I think it's time

269
00:12:28,481 --> 00:12:31,517
the entire D'Angelo family
gets some gold around their waist.

270
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:33,702
This reminds me of Christmas Eve
when I was a kid.

271
00:12:33,736 --> 00:12:36,205
Camping on the couch, waiting for Santa.

272
00:12:36,238 --> 00:12:38,591
I remember one year,
when I was half asleep,

273
00:12:38,624 --> 00:12:40,109
and I saw Santa all right.

274
00:12:40,142 --> 00:12:42,795
Digging through my gifts,
like a raccoon in the dumpster.

275
00:12:42,828 --> 00:12:45,347
Shaking them around
like he owns the place.

276
00:12:45,381 --> 00:12:46,899
Before I could even make a move,

277
00:12:46,932 --> 00:12:49,285
my mother comes running in
with a broomstick

278
00:12:49,318 --> 00:12:52,588
and starts redecorating Santa's face.
Whack! Whack! Whack!

279
00:12:52,621 --> 00:12:55,524
Diane Lorenzo, a saint amongst women.

280
00:12:55,558 --> 00:12:57,927
A saint? She's a fricking enforcer.

281
00:12:58,427 --> 00:13:01,413
Turns out, though, it was
little Fabrizio from down the street.

282
00:13:01,447 --> 00:13:03,532
Yeah. Didn't go
Christmas shopping that year.

283
00:13:03,566 --> 00:13:05,417
He did go Christmas shopping…
in your house.

284
00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:08,120
-In my house.
-He shouldn't have been snooping around.

285
00:13:08,154 --> 00:13:09,805
Yeah, warrants an arrest,
time behind bars.

286
00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:11,123
My point is

287
00:13:11,157 --> 00:13:12,391
presents under the tree.

288
00:13:13,008 --> 00:13:15,961
A tag-team title opportunity
for Luca and me.

289
00:13:16,695 --> 00:13:18,697
-Hank and Tank…
-NQCC…

290
00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:21,517
And OTM… You trying to take them from us?

291
00:13:21,550 --> 00:13:24,286
We're bashing your heads
in like my mother.

292
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,154
Like his mother.

293
00:13:25,187 --> 00:13:26,205
Like his mother.

294
00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:27,823
Like his mother.

295
00:13:31,494 --> 00:13:33,345
[Mr. Regal] Ah, Lexis, there you are.

296
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:35,164
Mr. Regal.

297
00:13:35,664 --> 00:13:38,017
I've been watching you
for the last few months.

298
00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:41,370
And your growth and dedication,
it's quite remarkable.

299
00:13:41,403 --> 00:13:43,105
You deserve this opportunity.

300
00:13:43,706 --> 00:13:46,559
I'd be honored if you'd let me be
in your corner again.

301
00:13:46,592 --> 00:13:48,043
Mr. Regal, I really appreciate it.

302
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:51,647
I really think that I'm finally becoming
the best version of myself.

303
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,083
So tonight, are you going to do it?

304
00:13:54,116 --> 00:13:55,784
Yes, of course I'm gonna do it.

305
00:13:55,818 --> 00:13:58,387
I'm gonna become
the Heritage Cup Champion.

306
00:13:58,420 --> 00:13:59,338
Hm.

307
00:14:05,728 --> 00:14:08,264
That's not what I was asking you.

308
00:14:12,902 --> 00:14:14,904
["Fade" playing]

309
00:14:21,744 --> 00:14:25,598
[Mike] And his opponent,
accompanied by Wren Sinclair,

310
00:14:25,631 --> 00:14:28,067
representing No Quarter Catch Crew,

311
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:32,721
he is the NXT Heritage Cup Champion,

312
00:14:32,755 --> 00:14:36,859
Charlie Dempsey.

313
00:14:36,892 --> 00:14:40,095
[Vic] And I bring this up
because this is a rematch

314
00:14:40,129 --> 00:14:42,081
from nearly two months ago

315
00:14:42,114 --> 00:14:44,450
for the Heritage Cup when Mr. Regal,

316
00:14:44,483 --> 00:14:47,253
who also was in the corner of Lexis King.

317
00:14:47,286 --> 00:14:50,706
But Lexis King, two months ago,
really took a step forward.

318
00:14:50,739 --> 00:14:53,025
Really solidified one fact.

319
00:14:53,058 --> 00:14:55,794
That fact, he's not his father.

320
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:57,212
He's not his dad.

321
00:14:57,246 --> 00:15:00,966
He wanted to win it. He wanted to earn it.
He wanted to do it the right way.

322
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:05,671
And Charlie Dempsey
would take control of that matchup.

323
00:15:05,704 --> 00:15:08,040
Lexis King came in not at 100%.

324
00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:10,509
Would retain his Heritage Cup.

325
00:15:10,542 --> 00:15:12,544
But because of the actions of last week,

326
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:15,848
Lexis King earned this rematch.

327
00:15:15,881 --> 00:15:20,569
Surely you aren't surprised that King
was able to keep up with Charlie Dempsey.

328
00:15:20,603 --> 00:15:23,622
As we head into this Heritage Cup matchup,
there you see the rules.

329
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:25,741
It's six three-minute rounds.
Two out of three falls.

330
00:15:25,774 --> 00:15:28,928
Falls can be one pinfall, submission,
or a count out.

331
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:31,263
And there you see it. It goes six rounds.

332
00:15:31,297 --> 00:15:32,247
Most falls win.

333
00:15:32,281 --> 00:15:35,668
Champion retains if it's a tie,

334
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:38,237
which we saw come into play last week,

335
00:15:38,270 --> 00:15:40,439
when both men's shoulders were down
with Trick Williams.

336
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:42,474
We will still hear from him
later on tonight.

337
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:43,842
But getting back to what I said.

338
00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:46,712
You're not surprised that King
was able to keep up with Dempsey.

339
00:15:46,745 --> 00:15:49,365
[Booker] I mean, Lexis King,
it's not his talent, Vic.

340
00:15:49,398 --> 00:15:51,016
It's about keeping his head right.

341
00:15:51,050 --> 00:15:54,253
It's about breaking out
of the shadows of Brian Pillman.

342
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:56,121
Yes, I get it. I get that, Vic.

343
00:15:56,155 --> 00:15:59,892
This young man, he stepped up.
He earned this shot, Vic. He earned it.

344
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:04,430
[Vic] Well, we also forgot to mention
the important in between the rounds.

345
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:07,199
That's where you're always talking about
that second comes into play.

346
00:16:07,232 --> 00:16:10,853
You see that Wren Sinclair
for Charlie Dempsey.

347
00:16:10,886 --> 00:16:13,255
Well, that's also because
Heights and Borne,

348
00:16:13,288 --> 00:16:16,659
they're preparing for their number one
contender's match later on tonight.

349
00:16:16,692 --> 00:16:19,895
Christmas Chaos Fatal Four-Way
still to come,

350
00:16:19,928 --> 00:16:21,797
as we're 30 seconds into round number one.

351
00:16:21,830 --> 00:16:25,451
Nice takedown. Nice cover.
Rolling right through into a crucifix.

352
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:27,386
-Look at Lexis King!
-[Booker] Oh, beautiful.

353
00:16:27,419 --> 00:16:29,421
[Vic] Staying one step ahead
of Charlie Dempsey.

354
00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:31,557
[Booker] Charlie Dempsey's got
his hands full tonight

355
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:32,624
because of Lexis King.

356
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:36,295
I really feel like this could be
that night, that pivotal moment.

357
00:16:36,328 --> 00:16:38,831
[Vic] Looking for that ankle lock.
Able to roll right through.

358
00:16:38,864 --> 00:16:40,566
Back up to his feet comes King.

359
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:42,334
Runs right back into Dempsey.

360
00:16:42,368 --> 00:16:44,636
Charging in. Dempsey got caught.

361
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:47,823
And has Lexis King become
the best version of himself?

362
00:16:47,856 --> 00:16:50,542
I do wanna ask you that
with Mr. Regal looking on on the outside.

363
00:16:50,576 --> 00:16:51,977
[Booker] I believe that.

364
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:54,613
I mean, he's like… he's like
Neo in the Matrix, man.

365
00:16:54,646 --> 00:16:57,599
He's… he's beginning
to believe in himself.

366
00:16:57,633 --> 00:16:59,835
I think that's what it is
more than anything.

367
00:16:59,868 --> 00:17:01,737
[Vic] King has lost
a lot in the locker room,

368
00:17:01,770 --> 00:17:04,923
including those in the Universe,
as we learned right before the break.

369
00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:09,044
Mr. Regal, his corner man,
is now trying to turn Lexis King around.

370
00:17:09,078 --> 00:17:11,363
It's Charlie Dempsey.
First he was able to get to the leg.

371
00:17:11,397 --> 00:17:15,317
Now he's trying to climb right up,
trying to look for an armbar of sorts.

372
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:18,020
-King has the roll through.
-[Booker] Beautiful roll through.

373
00:17:18,053 --> 00:17:20,022
[Vic] This goes back
to that training of sorts

374
00:17:20,055 --> 00:17:22,274
that we saw Lexis King stay toe-to-toe.

375
00:17:22,307 --> 00:17:23,475
He did the course.

376
00:17:23,509 --> 00:17:26,044
Man of his word, Charlie Dempsey
granted him this rematch.

377
00:17:26,078 --> 00:17:27,296
Ninety seconds gone, round one.

378
00:17:27,329 --> 00:17:29,515
[Booker] And not just that.
Can you imagine the training

379
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:32,684
that William Regal has been doing
with Lexis King?

380
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:36,288
Taking him to another level.
You gotta love that.

381
00:17:36,321 --> 00:17:39,775
And trust me.
I know all about William Regal.

382
00:17:39,808 --> 00:17:42,511
[Vic] You gotta think about that training,
about two months ago

383
00:17:42,544 --> 00:17:43,996
when they worked closely together.

384
00:17:44,029 --> 00:17:47,783
But yes, I would think that Lexis King
has kept those teachings in mind.

385
00:17:47,816 --> 00:17:51,386
He's been able to push forward
with Mr. Regal in the back of his mind.

386
00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:54,156
As we're now under 60 seconds left
in round number one.

387
00:17:54,189 --> 00:17:57,042
Still no decisions in this matchup.

388
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:59,645
It has been pretty even, wouldn't you say?

389
00:18:00,145 --> 00:18:02,081
[Booker] Yeah, I mean,
right now it's even. I mean…

390
00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:05,467
It's a long time. You wanna mention
patience in a matchup like this.

391
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:08,220
-You wanna, you know, blow yourself up…
-[Vic] Cover. Cover.

392
00:18:08,253 --> 00:18:10,572
-[Booker] …in a matchup like this.
-[Vic] Look at the bridge.

393
00:18:10,606 --> 00:18:11,473
[Booker] Beautiful.

394
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:14,143
[Vic] Taking down King into a cover.
And another kick out.

395
00:18:14,176 --> 00:18:17,346
But now just holding on…
is Charlie Dempsey.

396
00:18:17,379 --> 00:18:20,299
[Booker] Got a strangle hold right now
on Lexis King.

397
00:18:20,332 --> 00:18:21,917
[Vic] Thirty seconds and counting.

398
00:18:21,950 --> 00:18:23,702
I do wanna ask this too.

399
00:18:23,735 --> 00:18:26,321
How does Mr. Regal's presence
change things for Charlie Dempsey?

400
00:18:26,355 --> 00:18:28,841
I mean, King was a loner
about 15 minutes ago.

401
00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:31,293
[Booker] You got to understand, I mean,
William Regal,

402
00:18:31,326 --> 00:18:33,829
in European wrestling,
he's… he's god-like.

403
00:18:33,862 --> 00:18:37,816
He's definitely gonna be, you know,
affected in some way, shape, or form.

404
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:39,751
What it's gonna be, I don't know.
I don't know.

405
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:41,120
[clacking]

406
00:18:41,153 --> 00:18:44,156
[Vic] We're down to the final ten seconds
of round one.

407
00:18:44,189 --> 00:18:48,961
[crowd] Six, five, four, three, two, one!

408
00:18:51,396 --> 00:18:52,281
[bell dings]

409
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:56,802
[Vic] Well, King holding on.
Referee trying his…

410
00:18:59,104 --> 00:19:00,088
best and…

411
00:19:01,657 --> 00:19:02,558
What?

412
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:06,795
Referee's gotta get
a little bit more control right now.

413
00:19:07,296 --> 00:19:09,515
I don't know if that bell sounded on time.

414
00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:12,467
I don't know if it was a little bit late.
King got caught up in the moment.

415
00:19:12,968 --> 00:19:14,620
Take nothing away from either man there.

416
00:19:14,653 --> 00:19:17,289
I mean, that was just
a product of what was going on.

417
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:18,640
[Booker] I think you said it.

418
00:19:18,674 --> 00:19:20,993
The referee had to have
the understanding and know-how

419
00:19:21,026 --> 00:19:22,911
to do his damn job.

420
00:19:22,945 --> 00:19:25,347
-When you hear the bell, stop the action.
-[bell dings]

421
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:28,016
[Vic] The action picking right back up.
Dempsey charging in.

422
00:19:28,050 --> 00:19:31,386
Another three minutes on the clock.
We are now in round number two.

423
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:34,373
And there's no argument.
King has earned this rematch.

424
00:19:34,406 --> 00:19:37,442
And again, I will say I credit Dempsey
for being a man of his word.

425
00:19:37,476 --> 00:19:41,663
But what an Irish whip
buckling the knees of Lexis King.

426
00:19:41,697 --> 00:19:44,483
[Booker] You gotta understand,
Charlie Dempsey's in his wheelhouse

427
00:19:44,516 --> 00:19:45,500
in a matchup like this.

428
00:19:45,534 --> 00:19:49,838
I'm sure that's the reason why
he gave Lexis King this shot.

429
00:19:49,872 --> 00:19:50,722
He feels confident.

430
00:19:50,756 --> 00:19:52,674
[Vic] Charlie Dempsey,
one of only two men to hold

431
00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:54,826
the Heritage Cup more than once.

432
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:57,679
He's actually approaching 200 total days,

433
00:19:57,713 --> 00:19:59,565
as Heritage Cup Champion

434
00:19:59,598 --> 00:20:02,401
Nice gut-wrench suplex by Dempsey.

435
00:20:02,434 --> 00:20:04,503
Dempsey, maybe looking for
that first decision.

436
00:20:04,536 --> 00:20:06,321
Into the cover. Ops to not hook the leg,

437
00:20:06,355 --> 00:20:10,075
with all the weight on the upper body
of Lexis King,

438
00:20:10,108 --> 00:20:13,178
as we're through the first
forty-five seconds of this matchup.

439
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:15,197
[Booker] Gut-wrench, indeed right there.

440
00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:18,817
I mean, trying to keep Lexis King
real close to the body.

441
00:20:18,850 --> 00:20:21,286
Laying in that forearm shiver right there.

442
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,440
And trust me.
Tingling all down the spine, Vic.

443
00:20:25,474 --> 00:20:28,293
[Vic] And there's Wren Sinclair
in the corner of Charlie Dempsey.

444
00:20:28,327 --> 00:20:31,280
And seems that Dempsey
has found a body part,

445
00:20:31,313 --> 00:20:33,932
the lower back of Lexis King.

446
00:20:33,966 --> 00:20:35,400
And he's going to work.

447
00:20:35,434 --> 00:20:37,352
[Booker] To the base of the neck
right there, too,

448
00:20:37,386 --> 00:20:39,504
with those European uppercuts.

449
00:20:40,005 --> 00:20:41,056
Oh yes!

450
00:20:41,089 --> 00:20:42,608
[Vic] Oh my.

451
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:44,243
[Lexis grunts]

452
00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:46,311
-[yells]
-[Vic] Ooh.

453
00:20:46,929 --> 00:20:49,665
Couple of strong strikes
from both these Superstars.

454
00:20:49,698 --> 00:20:52,467
And we are approaching
the final 90 seconds

455
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:53,952
here in round number two.

456
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:55,587
Pure power from Dempsey.

457
00:20:55,621 --> 00:20:58,373
Taking King down. Unique cover.

458
00:20:58,407 --> 00:21:00,058
And able to kick out was King.

459
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:02,945
But look at Dempsey just holding on
to that left leg,

460
00:21:02,978 --> 00:21:05,731
trying to get into
maybe a single-leg crab,

461
00:21:05,764 --> 00:21:07,816
-[Booker] There it is.
-[Vic] But look at King.

462
00:21:07,849 --> 00:21:08,834
King's got his foot up.

463
00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:11,570
He's able to get a little bit
of that pressure off his lower back.

464
00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:13,055
And now just cinching it in.

465
00:21:13,088 --> 00:21:15,958
[Booker] He's not gonna last right there.
Dempsey has too much pressure

466
00:21:15,991 --> 00:21:17,793
on the lower back right now, Vic.

467
00:21:17,826 --> 00:21:21,413
[Vic] Dempsey was able to power down
Lexis King, but now look at the clock.

468
00:21:21,446 --> 00:21:24,349
And you know what? Where King is…
King just looked up.

469
00:21:24,383 --> 00:21:27,436
And he just saw
he's got a lot for 60 seconds.

470
00:21:27,469 --> 00:21:30,856
Mr. Regal now, I wonder
what's going through his mind,

471
00:21:30,889 --> 00:21:32,658
as King rolling back.

472
00:21:32,691 --> 00:21:35,877
Able to kick himself free.
It's 50 seconds and counting

473
00:21:35,911 --> 00:21:37,129
here in round number two.

474
00:21:37,162 --> 00:21:39,281
-Still! Still, Booker.
-[Booker] Another shiver.

475
00:21:39,314 --> 00:21:41,600
Another forearm shiver right there
to the base of the spine.

476
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:43,018
[Vic] No decisions.

477
00:21:45,303 --> 00:21:47,956
Putting on the brakes.
Super kick out of the corner!

478
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:50,175
King!

479
00:21:51,026 --> 00:21:53,128
-Up over!
-[Booker] Whoa! Did you see that?

480
00:21:53,161 --> 00:21:54,629
[Vic] This could be it for it. Oh!

481
00:21:54,663 --> 00:21:57,749
I don't know if the momentum
at the last moment

482
00:21:57,783 --> 00:21:59,034
carried Dempsey through,

483
00:21:59,067 --> 00:22:00,936
who just caught, dragon screw,

484
00:22:00,969 --> 00:22:04,189
whipping King back down
and focusing on that leg.

485
00:22:04,222 --> 00:22:06,992
And Dempsey is starting
to dissect Lexis King,

486
00:22:07,025 --> 00:22:09,594
with under 20 seconds left
here in round two.

487
00:22:09,628 --> 00:22:10,946
With a bridge off the…

488
00:22:10,979 --> 00:22:12,831
-Jerk and another near fall.
-[Booker] wow!

489
00:22:12,864 --> 00:22:14,099
I don't know if he has anything.

490
00:22:14,132 --> 00:22:15,917
[Vic] King needs to be saved by the clock.

491
00:22:15,951 --> 00:22:18,170
He's got ten seconds to go.

492
00:22:18,203 --> 00:22:19,888
Can he hold on?

493
00:22:19,921 --> 00:22:21,073
King, is he gonna tap?

494
00:22:21,106 --> 00:22:22,708
We're down to four seconds.

495
00:22:22,741 --> 00:22:24,376
King, is he gonna tap?

496
00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:25,761
-Saved by the bell!
-[bell dings]

497
00:22:25,794 --> 00:22:27,796
[Vic] But Dempsey right now, hey!

498
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:32,067
We're scoreless
going into round number three.

499
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,386
Who's walking out Heritage Cup Champion?

500
00:22:39,641 --> 00:22:43,628
[Vic] Oh, we are back on NXT.
We just went through round number three.

501
00:22:43,662 --> 00:22:46,081
Lexis King was able to get back into this.

502
00:22:46,114 --> 00:22:49,368
We still have no decisions in this matchup

503
00:22:49,401 --> 00:22:51,636
as we start round number four.

504
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:54,706
But it has been all Lexis King
for the last several moments.

505
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:56,358
Nice backbreaker by King.

506
00:22:56,391 --> 00:22:58,176
And now he's focusing on the back.

507
00:22:58,210 --> 00:23:00,178
Into the cover. Hooking the leg and ooh.

508
00:23:00,212 --> 00:23:03,765
[Booker] Are you believing that, though,
Vic? Are you believing in Lexis King?

509
00:23:04,416 --> 00:23:06,735
[Vic] Let's go back to round number three.

510
00:23:06,768 --> 00:23:09,421
Lexis King started to pick up the speed,

511
00:23:09,454 --> 00:23:10,822
pick up the aggression,

512
00:23:10,856 --> 00:23:14,126
and it's translated, now,
into round number four.

513
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:16,611
You've said this before at times, Book.

514
00:23:16,645 --> 00:23:20,532
A decision now may be
the only decision you need

515
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:22,384
late into this matchup.

516
00:23:22,417 --> 00:23:24,903
[Booker] It's all about, right now,
we in those deep waters.

517
00:23:24,936 --> 00:23:29,324
And I must say, Lexis King
is fairing very, very well

518
00:23:29,357 --> 00:23:30,709
in this Heritage Cup match.

519
00:23:30,742 --> 00:23:31,843
[Vic] Ooh!

520
00:23:32,944 --> 00:23:34,679
[crowd] Oh!

521
00:23:34,713 --> 00:23:36,031
Oh!

522
00:23:36,064 --> 00:23:37,249
Oh!

523
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:38,867
Oh!

524
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:40,502
[Vic] Listen to these shots,

525
00:23:40,535 --> 00:23:44,156
ringing out as 60 seconds on the clock

526
00:23:44,189 --> 00:23:46,358
here in round number four.

527
00:23:47,859 --> 00:23:48,894
[Lexis] Yeah!

528
00:23:51,546 --> 00:23:55,300
[Vic] King showing he can keep up
with Charlie Dempsey

529
00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:56,451
Can he do so tonight?

530
00:23:56,485 --> 00:23:58,503
Looking for a decision.
And another near fall.

531
00:23:58,537 --> 00:24:00,772
Nice bridge off the northern lights.

532
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:02,174
Mr. Regal impressed.

533
00:24:02,207 --> 00:24:06,428
It was Mr. Regal
who joined Lexis King ringside

534
00:24:06,461 --> 00:24:08,196
before this matchup began.

535
00:24:08,230 --> 00:24:10,749
High crossbody into the cover.

536
00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:14,769
Oh, and another near fall.
Ninety seconds approaching,

537
00:24:14,803 --> 00:24:17,005
left here in round number four.

538
00:24:17,038 --> 00:24:20,275
First, his northern-lights suplex
was so close.

539
00:24:20,308 --> 00:24:24,179
King followed it up, taking a high risk.
It almost paid off

540
00:24:24,212 --> 00:24:28,483
because King is closing in
on maybe that decision.

541
00:24:28,517 --> 00:24:31,436
The only decision he's gonna need
in this matchup

542
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:33,672
because then you gotta assume
he'd start playing defense.

543
00:24:33,705 --> 00:24:36,758
[Booker] Vic, Lexis King is beginning
to like the sound

544
00:24:36,791 --> 00:24:39,811
of the roar of the crowd.
Seems like he's buying in.

545
00:24:39,845 --> 00:24:43,348
And sometimes, that's all you need, Vic.
That sixth man.

546
00:24:43,381 --> 00:24:45,150
[Vic] And Dempsey
was looking for a backslide,

547
00:24:45,183 --> 00:24:47,586
turning things around.
Double underhook as countered by King.

548
00:24:47,619 --> 00:24:50,856
-Coming right back. Super kick.
-[Booker] Right on the button.

549
00:24:50,889 --> 00:24:53,725
[Vic] Dempsey coming in with a knee lift.
Swing and a miss.

550
00:24:53,758 --> 00:24:56,161
Both Superstars… No! Oh!

551
00:24:56,862 --> 00:25:00,348
Double noggin knocker
with under 50 seconds left.

552
00:25:00,382 --> 00:25:03,785
[Booker] Bad position right there
for both men, Vic.

553
00:25:04,603 --> 00:25:06,605
[Vic] Take another look at… Bam!

554
00:25:07,222 --> 00:25:09,157
What the hell is Wren Sinclair doing?

555
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:12,727
But what's Mr. Regal doing?

556
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:14,913
To nudge the brass knuckles again?

557
00:25:17,949 --> 00:25:19,217
No!

558
00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:21,336
No! No!

559
00:25:21,369 --> 00:25:22,671
Take them back!

560
00:25:22,704 --> 00:25:23,755
Take them back!

561
00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:27,158
[crowd] Oh!

562
00:25:28,677 --> 00:25:30,195
[Vic] What the hell was that?

563
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:35,600
Mr. Regal just clocked Lexis King.

564
00:25:35,634 --> 00:25:37,519
-What are you doing?
-[clacking]

565
00:25:37,552 --> 00:25:40,071
-You hit him?
-[Vic] Ten seconds left in the round and…

566
00:25:40,105 --> 00:25:42,140
[bell dings]

567
00:25:46,144 --> 00:25:48,563
-[Booker] Come on, man.
-[Mike] Here is your winner.

568
00:25:48,597 --> 00:25:52,183
As a result of a disqualification

569
00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:58,189
a new NXT Heritage Cup Champion,

570
00:25:58,690 --> 00:26:03,128
Lexis King!

571
00:26:03,161 --> 00:26:05,013
[Booker] What the hell
is he talking about?

572
00:26:05,046 --> 00:26:07,816
Title don't change on a disqualification.

573
00:26:07,849 --> 00:26:09,601
What the… what the hell's going on here?

574
00:26:09,634 --> 00:26:11,703
[Vic] Booker, I know it's unprecedented,

575
00:26:12,203 --> 00:26:15,774
but under these rules,
if you get disqualified, you lose.

576
00:26:15,807 --> 00:26:18,860
-It's British rounds. You lose.
-[Booker] Are you kidding me?

577
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:25,667
[Vic] This…

578
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,988
I don't know what else to say.
It happened.

579
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:32,340
We saw it earlier the first time.

580
00:26:32,374 --> 00:26:34,509
This is what didn't happen in October.

581
00:26:34,542 --> 00:26:35,610
Bam!

582
00:26:35,644 --> 00:26:38,780
That left hand from Mr. Regal.

583
00:26:38,813 --> 00:26:41,116
The official thought
it was Charlie Dempsey

584
00:26:41,149 --> 00:26:43,401
who was holding onto those brass knuckles.

585
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:45,070
He was disqualified,

586
00:26:45,103 --> 00:26:48,073
and by doing so,
we have a new Heritage Cup Champion.

587
00:26:48,106 --> 00:26:50,675
[Booker] Wow. The hell is going on?

588
00:26:50,709 --> 00:26:53,478
What is this business coming to? Come on!

589
00:26:53,511 --> 00:26:56,264
[Vic] I understand it's unprecedented,

590
00:26:56,298 --> 00:26:59,668
but Lexis King now holds the cup.

OTM gonna give it to you real

'cause we're the realest tag team
in this division.

And the holidays,
it ain't nothing but a facade.

Mm-hm.

-But you ain't gonna keep it real.

talking about "thank you so much"

677
00:30:48,046 --> 00:30:49,314
[Mike] And their opponents,

678
00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:53,084
accompanied by the NXT Women's
North American Champion,

679
00:30:53,117 --> 00:30:54,269
Fallon Henley,

680
00:30:54,302 --> 00:30:57,856
representing Fatal Influence,

681
00:30:57,889 --> 00:31:02,660
Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx.

682
00:31:04,562 --> 00:31:07,232
[Vic] When it comes to Fatal Influence,

683
00:31:07,265 --> 00:31:11,603
perhaps they talked
a little too much last week.

684
00:31:11,636 --> 00:31:17,559
Again called Gigi Dolin,
Tatum Paxley, and Shotzi freaks.

685
00:31:17,592 --> 00:31:20,028
[Booker] I agree with you.
I don't like this matchup right here.

686
00:31:20,061 --> 00:31:22,130
I mean, Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre,

687
00:31:22,163 --> 00:31:26,834
I always called those two
"Twin Demons of Evil"

688
00:31:26,868 --> 00:31:29,637
back to create mayhem, chaos,

689
00:31:29,671 --> 00:31:32,290
anti-function, baby.

690
00:31:32,323 --> 00:31:34,092
Oh yes, man.

691
00:31:36,294 --> 00:31:38,546
[Vic] Well, when it comes to… Hey!

692
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:42,517
Talking about the NXT Universe,
among them,

693
00:31:42,550 --> 00:31:43,935
Kayden Carter,

694
00:31:43,968 --> 00:31:46,487
Katana Chance from Monday Night Raw.

695
00:31:46,521 --> 00:31:48,606
Of course, that transfer window is open.

696
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,110
-Two former NXT Women Tag Team Champions.
-[Booker] What the hell?

697
00:31:52,143 --> 00:31:54,629
[Vic] Two hundred and forty days
as champions.

698
00:31:54,662 --> 00:31:57,565
The longest singular reign
of those titles, by the way.

699
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:00,435
[Booker] Didn't I tell you?
Everybody want a piece of the action.

700
00:32:00,468 --> 00:32:03,821
The champagne, the caviar, all of that.

701
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:07,175
Oh yeah, it's Christmas.
Everybody looking to impress.

702
00:32:07,208 --> 00:32:09,427
[Vic] I'm looking for you
to stop eating Christmas cookies

703
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:11,079
so I can get one
before we get out of here.

704
00:32:11,112 --> 00:32:15,083
But I'm still… I'm still trying
to wrap my head around, Booker,

705
00:32:15,116 --> 00:32:17,418
our new Heritage Cup Champion.
That being Lexis King.

706
00:32:17,452 --> 00:32:21,072
[Booker] Title does not change
on a disqualification, Vic.

707
00:32:21,105 --> 00:32:23,491
If I said it once,
I'll say it a thousand times.

708
00:32:23,524 --> 00:32:25,877
[Vic] That is how
that man became champion here

709
00:32:25,910 --> 00:32:28,313
just a little bit ago
against Charlie Dempsey.

710
00:32:28,346 --> 00:32:29,897
But we're moving on into this matchup.

711
00:32:29,931 --> 00:32:33,551
Dawn looking for the cover.
Getting a kick-out by Jazmyn Nyx,

712
00:32:33,584 --> 00:32:38,122
and Dawn sees a lack of unity
in Fatal Influence.

713
00:32:38,156 --> 00:32:40,358
I don't necessarily know
if you see the same thing

714
00:32:40,391 --> 00:32:41,659
that Isla Dawn does.

715
00:32:41,693 --> 00:32:44,996
[Booker] No, I don't see that at all,
but I do see right now that

716
00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:48,666
Jazmyn Nyx may be the sacrificial lamb

717
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:51,035
in this match. I'm wondering.
I'm wondering.

718
00:32:51,069 --> 00:32:53,104
[Vic] Do you think
Jacy Jayne would do that to her?

719
00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:54,605
She'd just throw her to the wolves?

720
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:57,025
[Booker] I'm wondering Fallon,
being the champion,

721
00:32:57,058 --> 00:32:58,626
is not in this matchup right now.

722
00:32:58,660 --> 00:33:00,144
That's what I'm wondering, Vic.

723
00:33:00,645 --> 00:33:04,599
[Vic] Well, the Unholy Union back…
here on NXT.

724
00:33:04,632 --> 00:33:07,635
Fyre staying out of the way.
Dawn charging in. Tag was made.

725
00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:09,320
Alba Fyre is now legal.

726
00:33:09,354 --> 00:33:11,239
We're about 40 minutes from Salem,

727
00:33:11,272 --> 00:33:14,625
and these two could be
the Sanderson sisters' cousins.

728
00:33:15,243 --> 00:33:18,312
-They will put a spell on you.
-[Booker] Oh baby!

729
00:33:18,346 --> 00:33:20,732
[Vic] Not just at Halloween,
but here at Christmas.

730
00:33:20,765 --> 00:33:23,217
And another near fall.

731
00:33:23,251 --> 00:33:26,220
[Booker] Talk about tag-team
personification right there.

732
00:33:26,254 --> 00:33:28,122
Oh baby, look at that right there, though.

733
00:33:28,156 --> 00:33:30,375
[Vic] Now Jacy Jayne answering right back.

734
00:33:30,408 --> 00:33:33,845
And when you talk about tag teams,
we saw Kate.

735
00:33:33,878 --> 00:33:35,046
We saw Katana.

736
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:39,167
You gotta talk about Jacy Jayne
and the aforementioned Gigi Dolin,

737
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,386
who you have called
the best women's tag team

738
00:33:41,419 --> 00:33:44,355
to ever grace the squared circle
here on this brand.

739
00:33:44,389 --> 00:33:46,424
[Booker] Yes, indeed, man.
But I'll tell you now,

740
00:33:46,457 --> 00:33:49,460
these ladies, having known this ring,
right now is just to let it all hang out.

741
00:33:49,494 --> 00:33:50,611
Beautiful. You see that?

742
00:33:50,645 --> 00:33:51,662
You see that?

743
00:33:51,696 --> 00:33:54,999
Jazmyn Nyx is in the right place
at the right time.

744
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:57,502
Oh, drop it like it's hot!
Drop it like it's hot.

745
00:33:57,535 --> 00:33:59,187
[Vic] Soccer-style kick

746
00:33:59,220 --> 00:34:02,173
from the former soccer…
staying out at West Virginia,

747
00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:04,976
who certainly has translated
into a Superstar,

748
00:34:05,009 --> 00:34:08,463
as Kayden and Katana not very, uh, well…

749
00:34:08,496 --> 00:34:10,848
don't seem too impressed by Jazmyn Nyx.

750
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:14,018
[Booker] This is on-the-job training
by Jazmyn Nyx,

751
00:34:14,051 --> 00:34:15,753
and right now,
she's doing a hell of a job.

752
00:34:15,787 --> 00:34:17,004
She's looking for a promotion.

753
00:34:17,038 --> 00:34:20,058
[Vic] You gotta wonder
who comes to Kayden and Katana,

754
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,643
if they're actually here
looking at Unholy Union.

755
00:34:22,677 --> 00:34:23,578
[Booker] Why they here?

756
00:34:23,611 --> 00:34:25,463
[Vic] They have been having
quite the rivalry

757
00:34:25,496 --> 00:34:26,931
with Fyre and Dawn

758
00:34:26,964 --> 00:34:28,950
as well on Monday Night Raw.

759
00:34:28,983 --> 00:34:31,853
And trying to get back to their feet,
trying to create a little separation,

760
00:34:31,886 --> 00:34:34,856
as Alba Fyre, who just got ripped
back down to the mat.

761
00:34:34,889 --> 00:34:38,025
[Booker] I have to say this.
Carter and Chance, ain't nobody better.

762
00:34:38,059 --> 00:34:41,262
What a hell of a tag team.
I'd love to see them back here in NXT,

763
00:34:41,295 --> 00:34:42,880
if it's just for one night.

764
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:45,383
[Vic] Yeah, you brought up Fallon Henley,
who's on the outside!

765
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:47,518
And another kick between the spine.

766
00:34:47,552 --> 00:34:50,037
You might be able to sign her up
for the Patriots.

767
00:34:51,272 --> 00:34:53,174
That was a…
You were talking about Fallon Henley.

768
00:34:53,207 --> 00:34:54,692
Trying to focus after that kick.

769
00:34:54,725 --> 00:34:57,979
I thought Henley would be in a better mood
since becoming champion. She's just--

770
00:34:58,012 --> 00:34:59,931
[Booker] What are you talking about?
She's lost--

771
00:34:59,964 --> 00:35:01,866
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

772
00:35:01,899 --> 00:35:05,536
-[Booker] What the hell?
-[Vic] Look who has joined the party.

773
00:35:05,570 --> 00:35:06,621
[Booker] What the heck?

774
00:35:09,474 --> 00:35:11,125
[Vic] Well, on the topic of that,

775
00:35:11,626 --> 00:35:14,829
look who has their eyes
on the action as well.

776
00:35:15,563 --> 00:35:17,165
Cover and a kick-out.

777
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:22,370
Things are starting to break down.
It's been chaotic here

778
00:35:22,403 --> 00:35:24,405
on this Christmas Eve edition of NXT.

779
00:35:24,889 --> 00:35:25,973
[Jazmyn yells]

780
00:35:27,458 --> 00:35:31,195
[Vic] Fyre and Dawn are in control.
NXT rolls on.

781
00:35:34,549 --> 00:35:36,284
[Vic] We are back on NXT.

782
00:35:36,317 --> 00:35:38,419
And look, Fatal Influence
has been in control

783
00:35:38,452 --> 00:35:39,804
for the last several moments here,

784
00:35:39,837 --> 00:35:43,157
but there's a lot of focus
on Fatal Influence right now.

785
00:35:43,191 --> 00:35:45,459
And not the right kind of focus, Booker.

786
00:35:45,493 --> 00:35:48,346
Tatum Paxley, Gigi Dolin, Shotzi out here.

787
00:35:48,379 --> 00:35:49,647
Take a look at Fatal Influence.

788
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,451
We saw in the crowd earlier as well
Kayden and Katana.

789
00:35:53,484 --> 00:35:57,455
I mean, I'm almost confused
sitting ringside with everything going on.

790
00:35:57,488 --> 00:35:59,690
[Booker] Vic, you can say
whatever you wanna say

791
00:35:59,724 --> 00:36:01,275
about this team right here,

792
00:36:01,309 --> 00:36:04,478
but Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx,
they're holding their own.

793
00:36:04,512 --> 00:36:06,814
And this is what I call
fight-or-flight mode.

794
00:36:06,848 --> 00:36:08,966
Right now, you just got to do
what you gotta do.

795
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,185
And they're doing a hell of a job.
And I love it, man.

796
00:36:11,219 --> 00:36:13,204
[Vic] They're controlling
the pace, the action.

797
00:36:13,237 --> 00:36:14,205
[screams]

798
00:36:14,856 --> 00:36:15,723
Whoa!

799
00:36:16,841 --> 00:36:18,843
Whoo!

800
00:36:19,460 --> 00:36:20,878
-[Booker] You see that?
-[Vic] What?

801
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:25,049
-[Booker] That move Jacy Jayne just did.
-[Vic] What do you call that? A high step?

802
00:36:25,082 --> 00:36:27,718
Oh, that's not a high step.
That's a low step.

803
00:36:28,402 --> 00:36:30,988
[Vic] We're on. Were you getting
the eggnog before we came out here?

804
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:33,958
Is that what you were doing?
You had four, five, six glasses of that?

805
00:36:33,991 --> 00:36:38,162
[Booker] Why are you worried
about what I got? What about yours?

806
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:40,565
[Vic] I didn't have any.
I'm trying to be a professional.

807
00:36:40,598 --> 00:36:43,201
I'm making sure you can get through
the next hour as well here.

808
00:36:43,234 --> 00:36:45,319
Going right to work is Isla Dawn.

809
00:36:45,353 --> 00:36:47,672
Breaking the hold. Going right behind.

810
00:36:47,705 --> 00:36:49,807
Shoulders down.
You're not gonna be dancing anymore.

811
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,108
But Jacy able to kick out.

812
00:36:51,142 --> 00:36:53,594
Oh! Right up and right down.

813
00:36:53,628 --> 00:36:55,613
[Booker] Give Jacy Jayne
her props right now

814
00:36:55,646 --> 00:36:57,815
because she is quarterbacking
this thing, man.

815
00:36:57,848 --> 00:37:00,034
-She's doing a hell of a job.
-[Vic] So she's the leader?

816
00:37:00,067 --> 00:37:03,137
[Booker] I wouldn't necessarily say that.
I'm just saying, in this situation,

817
00:37:03,170 --> 00:37:05,122
she's quarterbacking this thing,

818
00:37:05,156 --> 00:37:07,325
and she's doing a hell of a job.

819
00:37:07,358 --> 00:37:10,795
[Vic] Fallon Henley approving. That being
the Women's North American Champion.

820
00:37:10,828 --> 00:37:13,831
Jacy Jayne talking
a little bit of smack to Isla Dawn.

821
00:37:13,864 --> 00:37:16,901
Alba Fyre desperately wants
to get back into this match.

822
00:37:16,934 --> 00:37:19,370
[Booker] Why is there
so much traffic out here? Can you tell me?

823
00:37:19,403 --> 00:37:22,490
[Vic] That's why I was stumbling
over my words because it has been chaotic.

824
00:37:22,523 --> 00:37:24,909
Go back to the Heritage Cup.
Go back to how last week ended.

825
00:37:24,942 --> 00:37:27,378
Go back to what we're seeing tonight.
All these bodies around.

826
00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:28,763
They're looking at Fatal Influence,

827
00:37:28,796 --> 00:37:31,599
which is why I said they got themselves
in some trouble tonight.

828
00:37:31,632 --> 00:37:34,151
[Booker] Will you give Jacy Jayne
and Jazmyn Nyx their props?

829
00:37:34,185 --> 00:37:36,270
[Vic] No, I moved on.
I moved on to something else.

830
00:37:36,304 --> 00:37:39,040
[Booker] We're in some action,
and they're doing a hell of a job.

831
00:37:39,073 --> 00:37:42,143
Talking about tag-team tandem.
One of the best.

832
00:37:42,176 --> 00:37:43,127
Oh, a little high shot.

833
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,396
[Vic] How many teams are the best, Booker?
You said Kayden…

834
00:37:45,429 --> 00:37:46,647
Never mind. Nice!

835
00:37:46,681 --> 00:37:47,515
Bridge!

836
00:37:47,548 --> 00:37:50,701
But the plex wasn't perfect enough.
A near fall.

837
00:37:50,735 --> 00:37:51,669
And so close.

838
00:37:51,702 --> 00:37:54,405
And Alba Fyre…
Did you notice Alba Fyre turned around?

839
00:37:54,438 --> 00:37:57,308
She was upset,
and if she was paying attention,

840
00:37:57,341 --> 00:37:58,476
she may have made the tag.

841
00:37:58,509 --> 00:38:01,095
-[Booker] I'm checking out Jazmyn Nyx now.
-[Vic] Of course you are.

842
00:38:01,128 --> 00:38:02,680
[Booker] No, she's doing a hell of a job

843
00:38:02,713 --> 00:38:04,865
as far as being in the right place
at the right time,

844
00:38:04,899 --> 00:38:07,018
playing the big shots,
just like that right there.

845
00:38:07,051 --> 00:38:10,388
And no, no, the thing is
she's the youngest of this whole group.

846
00:38:10,421 --> 00:38:12,473
She's looking great. Beautiful work.

847
00:38:12,506 --> 00:38:13,824
-Huh! Huh!
-[Vic] Into the cover.

848
00:38:13,858 --> 00:38:17,662
This will be a huge victory
for Fatal Influence, but also Jazmyn Nyx.

849
00:38:17,695 --> 00:38:18,529
And the kick-out.

850
00:38:18,562 --> 00:38:21,165
I'm gonna tell you this right now.
You take another look. Bam.

851
00:38:21,198 --> 00:38:23,584
-I don't disagree with what you're saying.
-[Booker] Thank you.

852
00:38:23,617 --> 00:38:26,887
[Vic] But if you keep up these comments
about who you're looking closely at,

853
00:38:26,921 --> 00:38:29,607
you're gonna owe a couple more bags
underneath the Christmas tree

854
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,875
to Queen Sharmell from tomorrow.

855
00:38:30,908 --> 00:38:33,761
[Booker] Just doing my job.
Doing my job right now, Vic.

856
00:38:33,794 --> 00:38:34,812
That's what I'm doing.

857
00:38:34,845 --> 00:38:38,399
[Vic] Uh, Jazmyn Nyx is certainly
doing her job right now.

858
00:38:38,432 --> 00:38:39,717
[Booker] If you listen…

859
00:38:41,419 --> 00:38:42,870
[Vic] Jacy Jayne on the outside.

860
00:38:42,903 --> 00:38:46,257
I just tried to peak up from the monitor
to see what Fallon Henley was doing.

861
00:38:46,290 --> 00:38:49,460
Isla Dawn right now trying to fight free,
trying to fight back.

862
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:51,629
Able to roll through.
The body, though, giving out.

863
00:38:51,662 --> 00:38:53,297
[Booker] Creating some space right there.

864
00:38:53,330 --> 00:38:55,966
Right now, Isla Dawn is trying to create
that ultimate space,

865
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,568
trying to get to her tag-team partner.

866
00:38:57,601 --> 00:39:00,137
-[Vic] Needs separation.
-[Booker] Separation. That's what…

867
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:01,122
No. No.

868
00:39:02,473 --> 00:39:03,574
I know what I mean.

869
00:39:03,607 --> 00:39:07,812
[Vic] Big enzuigiri under the jaw
from Isla Dawn.

870
00:39:08,379 --> 00:39:10,765
And Dawn now trying to crawl

871
00:39:10,798 --> 00:39:12,283
into the cover.

872
00:39:12,316 --> 00:39:13,734
Alba Fyre…

873
00:39:14,301 --> 00:39:16,387
-And right here in front of us
-[Booker] What the hell?

874
00:39:16,420 --> 00:39:19,357
[Vic] Walking in front of us
was Kayden and Katana.

875
00:39:20,925 --> 00:39:23,761
Again, you can make the argument
that Kayden and Katana

876
00:39:23,794 --> 00:39:26,697
are the best women's tag team
to ever come from NXT.

877
00:39:26,731 --> 00:39:29,483
And the tag was made.
Alba Fyre now legal and the Unholy Union…

878
00:39:29,517 --> 00:39:32,703
[Booker] My argument, Vic,
is too much damn traffic out here.

879
00:39:32,737 --> 00:39:36,057
There's a match going on
in the middle of this week that we gotta--

880
00:39:36,090 --> 00:39:37,875
[Vic] I don't know
what's going on anymore.

881
00:39:37,908 --> 00:39:41,062
I'm just trying to get through this
because this is breaking down.

882
00:39:41,095 --> 00:39:43,330
I feel real bad for the official.

883
00:39:43,364 --> 00:39:44,315
Two for one!

884
00:39:44,348 --> 00:39:48,069
DDT and Alba is on fire right now.

885
00:39:48,102 --> 00:39:50,921
-[Booker] Oh baby, look like the…
-[Vic] Doorbuster!

886
00:39:50,955 --> 00:39:52,823
[Booker] We could be
close to the end, Vic.

887
00:39:52,857 --> 00:39:54,392
We could be so close.

888
00:39:55,359 --> 00:39:57,311
-Ah!
-[Vic] Under the jaw.

889
00:39:57,344 --> 00:40:00,865
Did the lights just go out on Jazmyn Nyx?
Unable to…

890
00:40:00,898 --> 00:40:04,101
And she kicked out,
but Jacy Jayne doing a nice job, too,

891
00:40:04,135 --> 00:40:06,220
of saving this matchup for her team.

892
00:40:06,253 --> 00:40:10,007
-And Isla Dawn trying to even the odds.
-[Booker] Oh baby!

893
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,976
Things are breaking down, Vic.

894
00:40:12,009 --> 00:40:14,261
[Vic] You can say that again.
Step-up enzuigiri.

895
00:40:14,812 --> 00:40:17,615
Rocking Fyre. Nyx is in control

896
00:40:18,332 --> 00:40:19,867
Fatal Influence,

897
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:23,020
who have been rude all year long,

898
00:40:23,053 --> 00:40:25,623
could be in for a big victory

899
00:40:25,656 --> 00:40:28,359
to close out 2024.

900
00:40:28,392 --> 00:40:31,195
Big shot by the rock star Jacy Jayne.

901
00:40:31,228 --> 00:40:32,897
Oh yes!

902
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:34,165
Double up!

903
00:40:35,249 --> 00:40:37,568
[Vic] All four women down,
but as you said…

904
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:39,353
Traffic was the word you used.

905
00:40:39,386 --> 00:40:42,473
There's a lot of bodies
scattered throughout Lowell.

906
00:40:42,506 --> 00:40:44,008
-Fallon Henley…
-Why are you here?

907
00:40:44,041 --> 00:40:46,043
[overlapping yelling]

908
00:40:48,195 --> 00:40:50,848
-[Booker] Didn't I tell you? Didn't I?
-[Vic] You better back up.

909
00:40:50,881 --> 00:40:52,183
[overlapping yelling]

910
00:40:52,216 --> 00:40:53,317
[Booker] You did.

911
00:40:54,301 --> 00:40:57,154
[Vic] The official right now distracted.
Back in the ring, though.

912
00:40:57,188 --> 00:41:00,424
Jacy Jayne trying to overcome… Oh!

913
00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:01,759
[Booker] What just… Come on.

914
00:41:01,792 --> 00:41:03,327
[Vic] Nasty landing by Jacy.

915
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,747
The official didn't see because
of everything going on in front of us.

916
00:41:06,780 --> 00:41:13,187
And the Unholy Union
just casting a spell on Jacy Jayne.

917
00:41:13,220 --> 00:41:15,156
-[crowd] …three.
-[bell dings]

918
00:41:17,775 --> 00:41:19,593
[Mike] Here are you winners,

919
00:41:19,627 --> 00:41:23,848
Unholy Union!

920
00:41:23,881 --> 00:41:25,282
[Vic] Fyre and Dawn,

921
00:41:26,684 --> 00:41:31,205
the Unholy Union rises tonight.

922
00:41:31,238 --> 00:41:34,808
And again, the referee
was distracted by everything going on.

923
00:41:34,842 --> 00:41:38,128
Jacy Jayne got wiped out
behind the official's back.

924
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:41,215
The Unholy Union, they'll take the assist.

925
00:41:41,849 --> 00:41:44,835
But, Book, I mean, look around.

926
00:41:45,819 --> 00:41:48,155
There is a lot tonight just here ringside,

927
00:41:48,189 --> 00:41:52,610
as Heights and Borne prepare
for the Christmas Chaos Fatal Four-Way.

928
00:41:56,363 --> 00:41:58,465
But did you see
Charlie's Heritage Cup match?

929
00:41:58,499 --> 00:41:59,783
Myles, he got robbed.

930
00:41:59,817 --> 00:42:02,786
Dude, he got DQ'ed
for something he didn't do.

931
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:04,038
And the cup.

932
00:42:04,071 --> 00:42:06,373
He'll figure it out, all right?
Charlie's tough.

933
00:42:06,407 --> 00:42:08,309
But us, we gotta win
this fatal four-way tonight,

934
00:42:08,342 --> 00:42:11,445
and then we got Axiom and Nathan again.

935
00:42:11,478 --> 00:42:13,831
You know after Deadline,
they don't want no round two with us.

936
00:42:13,864 --> 00:42:15,199
Hey, you're right.

937
00:42:15,232 --> 00:42:18,452
But for tonight, let's focus on
this Christmas Chaos Fatal Four-Way.

938
00:42:18,485 --> 00:42:20,804
There's gonna be presents
and bodies flying everywhere.

939
00:42:20,838 --> 00:42:22,273
Just like Christmas growing up.

940
00:42:22,306 --> 00:42:24,742
Hey, Myles, what was
Christmases like for you?

941
00:42:24,775 --> 00:42:25,676
Huh?

942
00:42:25,709 --> 00:42:27,761
Ah, Christmas, pretty quiet.

943
00:42:27,795 --> 00:42:29,063
I'm gonna go get taped up.

944
00:42:31,849 --> 00:42:34,551
So, did you mean to push me
out of the way?

945
00:42:34,585 --> 00:42:35,653
Yeah, I did.

946
00:42:36,870 --> 00:42:37,788
Thanks.

947
00:42:37,821 --> 00:42:40,324
I know we don't know
each other that well, but--

948
00:42:40,357 --> 00:42:43,177
But losing to Lash and Jakara sucks?
Yeah, 100%.

949
00:42:43,210 --> 00:42:47,748
Ah, see, you two are prime examples
of why I don't team up with anyone.

950
00:42:47,781 --> 00:42:49,600
I learned early on
that you're better off alone.

951
00:42:49,633 --> 00:42:52,286
Izzy, just because you are alone

952
00:42:52,319 --> 00:42:53,804
doesn't mean you should be alone.

953
00:42:53,837 --> 00:42:56,173
No one should be alone during the--

954
00:42:56,206 --> 00:42:58,692
Are you stalking me now? Seriously?

955
00:42:58,726 --> 00:43:02,396
Plus, what's being with anyone
ever done for me anyway?

956
00:43:02,429 --> 00:43:03,981
Just leave me alone.

957
00:43:04,898 --> 00:43:06,984
Zaria, you're better off alone.

958
00:43:09,653 --> 00:43:12,039
Yeah, I think I'm good for right now.
Thanks.

00:44:53,824 --> 00:44:56,994
[Booker] Look here.
"Mind your business," is what he said

999
00:44:57,027 --> 00:44:58,395
right not to Dion.

1000
00:44:58,429 --> 00:45:01,131
[Vic] Dion's saying it right back to him
'cause now Dion is angry.

1001
00:45:01,165 --> 00:45:04,068
Look, Dion Lennox has been nothing
but a friend to Ashante "Thee" Adonis.

1002
00:45:04,101 --> 00:45:05,269
A giant misunderstanding.

1003
00:45:05,302 --> 00:45:08,205
Dion was trying to mend the fences,
so to speak.

1004
00:45:08,238 --> 00:45:11,041
He's being a friend
to Adonis and Karmen Petrovich.

1005
00:45:11,075 --> 00:45:13,460
I mean, we know Lennox
is in the friend zone.

1006
00:45:13,494 --> 00:45:15,229
That's been made very, very clear.

1007
00:45:15,262 --> 00:45:18,999
I don't see how Adonis
can think Dion is up to no good.

1008
00:45:20,050 --> 00:45:21,618
[Booker] Damn right, in the friend zone.

1009
00:45:21,652 --> 00:45:23,670
Like I said, he can make up, all right.

1010
00:45:23,704 --> 00:45:25,439
-He's a blocker. That's what he is.
-[Vic] No.

1011
00:45:25,472 --> 00:45:26,707
[Booker] That's what he is.

1012
00:45:26,740 --> 00:45:29,376
[Vic] Do you not know football?
He was a linebacker.

1013
00:45:29,410 --> 00:45:30,944
He shed blockers.

1014
00:45:30,978 --> 00:45:35,432
[Booker] I'm saying
Adonis would call him a core man blocker,

1015
00:45:35,466 --> 00:45:36,483
if you get my drift, Vic.

1016
00:45:36,517 --> 00:45:38,602
[Vic] I don't understand
what you're trying to tell me,

1017
00:45:38,635 --> 00:45:41,455
but Adonis turning things around
in this matchup.

1018
00:45:41,488 --> 00:45:44,191
And right back on top goes Adonis.

1019
00:45:44,224 --> 00:45:47,494
-And the question I have, is Adonis--
-[Booker] Oh!

1020
00:45:47,528 --> 00:45:48,846
Oh yes!

1021
00:45:48,879 --> 00:45:50,080
[Vic] That's the Nikkita Lyons.

1022
00:45:50,114 --> 00:45:52,649
Can I get one
"shucky ducky, quack, quack"?

1023
00:45:52,683 --> 00:45:55,235
Shucky ducky, quack, quack.
Can I get one, Vic?

1024
00:45:55,269 --> 00:45:57,621
[Vic] No, you're not getting that
because this is the problem.

1025
00:45:57,654 --> 00:46:00,090
He shouldn't have…
If he liked Karmen Petrovich so much,

1026
00:46:00,124 --> 00:46:02,159
as you just called Dion Lennox
"Karmen blocker,"

1027
00:46:02,192 --> 00:46:03,894
then why is he texting Nikkita Lyons?

1028
00:46:03,927 --> 00:46:05,429
[Booker] Come on. Look, Vic.

1029
00:46:05,462 --> 00:46:07,848
Vic, when you build a house,
you build a what?

1030
00:46:07,881 --> 00:46:10,200
A brick house, right?
That's what you want.

1031
00:46:10,234 --> 00:46:13,187
You don't want wood. You don't want straw.

1032
00:46:13,220 --> 00:46:16,373
You want brick because you get huffed,
you get puffed,

1033
00:46:16,406 --> 00:46:19,009
and you damn sure
can't blow that house down.

1034
00:46:19,042 --> 00:46:20,310
Trust me, man.

1035
00:46:20,344 --> 00:46:23,430
Well, I think Ashante "Thee" Adonis
is overreacting a little bit.

1036
00:46:23,464 --> 00:46:26,016
-And again, we go back to last week.
-[Booker] Overreacting?

1037
00:46:26,049 --> 00:46:28,752
[Vic] We got back to over the weekend
last week, I should say.

1038
00:46:28,786 --> 00:46:30,337
And these--

1039
00:46:30,370 --> 00:46:31,622
-[Booker] Vic. Vic.
-[Vic] What?

1040
00:46:31,655 --> 00:46:32,573
Can I get my point out?

1041
00:46:32,606 --> 00:46:35,125
-[Booker] How many times have I--
-[Vic] Lennox with a backslide.

1042
00:46:35,159 --> 00:46:39,196
[Booker] Whoa, whoa! A bird in the hand
beats two in the bush.

1043
00:46:39,229 --> 00:46:42,382
But… but Dion? Dion,
he ain't getting nothing right now.

1044
00:46:42,416 --> 00:46:44,468
-[Vic] Another cover. Another kick-out.
-[Booker] Yes.

1045
00:46:44,501 --> 00:46:46,937
[Vic] And Dion didn't deserve any of this.
As a matter of fact--

1046
00:46:46,970 --> 00:46:49,273
[Booker] Why… why not, Vic?
Why didn't he deserve this?

1047
00:46:49,306 --> 00:46:52,759
[Vic] 'Cause he's being a friend.
He is not a threat to Adonis.

1048
00:46:53,644 --> 00:46:55,762
As I'm going back to what I was saying,

1049
00:46:55,796 --> 00:46:57,848
Adonis and Nikkita

1050
00:46:57,881 --> 00:47:01,018
will face Lennox and Karmen Petrovich
at some point.

1051
00:47:01,051 --> 00:47:03,187
That tag-team match
will take place in the future.

1052
00:47:03,220 --> 00:47:05,005
[Booker] Uh, you know what they say.

1053
00:47:05,038 --> 00:47:07,124
Keep your friends close and your…

1054
00:47:07,157 --> 00:47:09,560
-No, enemies close and friends closer.
-[Vic] You don't know.

1055
00:47:09,593 --> 00:47:12,813
-[Booker] Yeah, that's what it is.
-[Vic] No, you've been drinking all night.

1056
00:47:12,846 --> 00:47:16,216
As right now, firing with the right
is Dion Lennox.

1057
00:47:16,250 --> 00:47:17,951
-Lennox right now.
-[Booker] Oh baby!

1058
00:47:17,985 --> 00:47:19,853
-[Vic] Counter. Big back elbow!
-[Booker] Damn.

1059
00:47:19,887 --> 00:47:23,423
Let me tell you something.
I like this kid, Ashante Adonis.

1060
00:47:23,457 --> 00:47:25,125
He's got a whole lot of talent, Vic.

1061
00:47:25,158 --> 00:47:28,979
I'm talking about in-ring skill.
His prowess is… is second to none.

1062
00:47:29,012 --> 00:47:30,914
-Give it to him.
-[Vic] I don't take it away.

1063
00:47:30,948 --> 00:47:34,518
And then I also look at everything
that's gone on the last two weeks.

1064
00:47:34,551 --> 00:47:36,386
Last week, the NXT Championship match.

1065
00:47:36,420 --> 00:47:38,205
The Heritage Cup match
that happened tonight.

1066
00:47:38,238 --> 00:47:40,958
The love triangle,
whatever number you wanna put on it.

1067
00:47:40,991 --> 00:47:42,643
-[Booker] Not a triangle.
-[Vic] And… and…

1068
00:47:42,676 --> 00:47:45,312
Well, he thinks that Dion Lennox
is trying to slide in.

1069
00:47:45,345 --> 00:47:48,482
Nikkita Lyons is on the outside
because Adonis is sliding into the DMs.

1070
00:47:48,515 --> 00:47:49,683
-[Booker] Come on.
-[Vic] What?

1071
00:47:49,716 --> 00:47:52,419
-[Booker] Would you trust Dion Lennox?
-[Vic] Yes, I would.

1072
00:47:52,452 --> 00:47:54,471
[Booker] He's a good-looking kid.

1073
00:47:54,504 --> 00:47:57,658
You do not trust somebody like that
with your woman. You don't do that.

1074
00:47:57,691 --> 00:48:00,777
[Vic] Well, our general manager, Ava,
is gonna have a lot on her desk

1075
00:48:00,811 --> 00:48:02,329
over the Christmas holiday.

1076
00:48:02,362 --> 00:48:04,548
As Adonis right back, taking down…

1077
00:48:04,581 --> 00:48:07,885
And you see the look on the face
of Dion Lennox.

1078
00:48:07,918 --> 00:48:11,004
[Booker] Yeah, you look at the face
of Ashante Adonis in total control now.

1079
00:48:11,038 --> 00:48:13,457
Just manhandling this rookie.

1080
00:48:14,575 --> 00:48:18,412
[Vic] Adonis believes
he's been disrespected by his friend.

1081
00:48:19,029 --> 00:48:22,182
I heard what you said.
He believes that Dion tried to swoop in

1082
00:48:22,215 --> 00:48:23,967
and swoon, to use one of your words…

1083
00:48:24,001 --> 00:48:25,702
[Booker] Come on, Vic. Come on, Vic.

1084
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,671
[Vic] What do you mean, come on, Vic?

1085
00:48:27,704 --> 00:48:32,175
We've seen weeks and weeks and weeks,
Adonis talking to Karmen Petrovich,

1086
00:48:32,209 --> 00:48:34,728
and the one person who has kept it close,

1087
00:48:34,761 --> 00:48:37,514
who went Karmen and said,
"I think he was trying to apologize…"

1088
00:48:37,547 --> 00:48:39,750
"I really think he's a good guy.
He's a friend of mine."

1089
00:48:39,783 --> 00:48:41,635
…was Dion Lennox.

1090
00:48:41,668 --> 00:48:44,004
-And Adonis now is paying the price.
-[Booker] Big shot.

1091
00:48:44,037 --> 00:48:45,122
Big shot by Lennox.

1092
00:48:45,155 --> 00:48:48,258
-[Vic] Big suplex.
-[Booker] He's looking real good now.

1093
00:48:48,292 --> 00:48:51,862
He needs to compose himself, though, Vic.
That's what I'm saying right now.

1094
00:48:51,895 --> 00:48:53,563
-Oh baby!
-[Vic] Spinebuster!

1095
00:48:53,597 --> 00:48:54,631
[Booker] Oh baby!

1096
00:48:54,665 --> 00:48:57,734
[Vic] He looks composed to me, Book.
He looks to be in control.

1097
00:48:57,768 --> 00:48:59,753
[Booker] That was real nice.
I'll give him that.

1098
00:48:59,786 --> 00:49:02,089
[Vic] Maybe Ashante should just move on.

1099
00:49:02,122 --> 00:49:05,175
Maybe he should just blame himself
for once.

1100
00:49:05,208 --> 00:49:08,178
As a running powerslam,

1101
00:49:08,211 --> 00:49:09,379
into the cover.

1102
00:49:09,413 --> 00:49:10,931
-[crowd] One, two…
-[Vic] Eh…

1103
00:49:10,964 --> 00:49:12,316
[ref] Foot's on the rope.

1104
00:49:13,150 --> 00:49:15,836
[Vic] Nikkita Lyons helping out Adonis.

1105
00:49:15,869 --> 00:49:17,187
What are you talking about?

1106
00:49:17,688 --> 00:49:19,673
-Y'all are tripping.
-[Booker] Stand by.

1107
00:49:19,706 --> 00:49:21,959
[Vic] I wonder what Karmen Petrovich
thinks of all of this.

1108
00:49:21,992 --> 00:49:24,144
We haven't even
talked about her feelings yet.

1109
00:49:24,645 --> 00:49:27,397
[Booker] You know what…
What's that country song?

1110
00:49:27,431 --> 00:49:29,650
Stand By Your… Antoinette?

1111
00:49:29,683 --> 00:49:31,802
"Stand By Your Man." Is that it? Right?

1112
00:49:31,835 --> 00:49:34,004
[Vic] Wait a minute. Roll up.
This could be it.

1113
00:49:34,037 --> 00:49:35,922
Countered. Adonis now.

1114
00:49:35,956 --> 00:49:36,840
Into the cover.

1115
00:49:36,873 --> 00:49:40,444
Oh! Ashante picks up the dub.

1116
00:49:42,112 --> 00:49:43,597
[Mike] Here is your winner,

1117
00:49:43,630 --> 00:49:47,384
Ashante "Thee" Adonis.

1118
00:49:47,417 --> 00:49:48,685
[Booker] Yeah, baby.

1119
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,756
[Vic] Yeah, well, look
who's standing by her man, Book.

1120
00:49:52,789 --> 00:49:54,991
That's not Karmen Petrovich.

1121
00:49:55,025 --> 00:49:56,793
That's Nikkita Lyons.

1122
00:49:56,827 --> 00:49:58,045
Nonetheless,

1123
00:49:59,262 --> 00:50:02,833
Adonis continues to tangle a web.

1124
00:50:05,002 --> 00:50:07,587
Peppermint… peppermint…
peppermint patties. Peppermint bark?

1125
00:50:07,621 --> 00:50:09,556
Peppermint… It's giving…
It's giving candy cane.

1126
00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:11,091
-No, cinnamon. Cookies.
-Candy--

1127
00:50:11,124 --> 00:50:13,060
-Cookies.
-Candy-cane forest.

1128
00:50:13,093 --> 00:50:14,528
-Chocolate chip cookies.
-Yes.

1129
00:50:14,561 --> 00:50:16,897
-It smells for sure.
-It's that time of the year.

1130
00:50:16,930 --> 00:50:19,016
How much do you love Christmas?

1131
00:50:19,049 --> 00:50:22,569
Uh, it's the one time of the year
that we get to eat, drink, and be merry.

How much do you like… chaos?

1137

Chaos?

1138
00:50:33,830 --> 00:50:37,184
You mean eight men
smashing into each other,

1139
00:50:37,217 --> 00:50:41,505
anything goes
like a jingle-bells mosh pit?

1140
00:50:41,538 --> 00:50:42,522
[Tank] Mm-hm.

1141
00:50:43,757 --> 00:50:44,725
Yeah. Yeah, I like it.

1142

-Why don't we add some stakes to it?
-Steaks?

1143
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,745
-I thought honey ham this year?
-No, no, Hank.

1144
00:50:48,779 --> 00:50:50,180
I'm talking about high stakes.

1145
00:50:50,213 --> 00:50:53,650
The fact that if we win tonight,
we'll be the number one contenders

1147

at New Year's Evil in two weeks
against Giulia,

1156
00:51:19,943 --> 00:51:22,295
we get a special look
at our Women's Champion,

1157
00:51:22,329 --> 00:51:24,731
"The Prodigy," Roxanne Perez, next.

1158
00:51:24,765 --> 00:51:26,550
♪ A million dollars from now ♪

1159
00:51:26,583 --> 00:51:27,968
♪ I won't remember you ♪

1160
00:51:31,071 --> 00:51:32,806
That was so great.

1161
00:51:32,839 --> 00:51:36,126
-Gigi, that was so smart of you.
-You know, I had a plan.

1162
00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:39,496
[laughs] The look on her face
when she was falling! Ah!

1163
00:51:39,529 --> 00:51:41,114
Well, well, well.

1164
00:51:41,148 --> 00:51:42,983
-Hello there, ladies.
-Hello.

1165
00:51:43,016 --> 00:51:45,368
We saw you earlier.
What are you guys doing here?

1166
00:51:45,402 --> 00:51:47,020
Um, we could ask you the same question.

1167
00:51:47,053 --> 00:51:49,239
I mean, we know NXT has
a badass women's division,

1168
00:51:49,272 --> 00:51:50,340
so we came to check it out.

1169
00:51:50,373 --> 00:51:53,343
-Mm-hm.
-Drr!

1170
00:51:53,376 --> 00:51:56,646
If you wanna talk women's tag teams,
then open your eyes

1171
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,148
because the Meta girls have arrived.

1172
00:51:58,181 --> 00:52:01,501
I mean, okay, we see you,
but we weren't worried about you.

1173
00:52:01,535 --> 00:52:03,186
Excuse you. Better recognize.

1174
00:52:03,220 --> 00:52:04,654
Um, you heard her.

1175
00:52:04,688 --> 00:52:05,989
-Oh.
-Mm-hm.

1176
00:52:06,022 --> 00:52:07,257
[chuckles]

1177
00:52:07,757 --> 00:52:09,292
-Girl's got balls.
-[chuckles]

1178
00:52:09,326 --> 00:52:11,528
-I don't know about you two.
-Okay, now, wait a minute.

1179
00:52:11,561 --> 00:52:12,946
Why are you trying to get involved?

1180
00:52:12,979 --> 00:52:14,981
[overlapping arguing]

1181
00:52:17,117 --> 00:52:20,203
Well, two weeks from tonight,
we're gonna be in Los Angeles.

1182
00:52:20,237 --> 00:52:22,506
Catch me over at the Sunset Strip, man.

1183
00:52:22,539 --> 00:52:25,826
It's WWE's New Year's Evil here for NXT.

1184
00:52:25,859 --> 00:52:29,112
And Giulia will have the opportunity
to become the NXT Women's Champion.

1185
00:52:29,145 --> 00:52:32,149
All she needs to do, defeat this woman,

1186
00:52:32,182 --> 00:52:33,884
Roxanne Perez.

1187
00:52:34,484 --> 00:52:35,569
[swoosh]

1188
00:52:37,571 --> 00:52:40,974
[Roxanne] When I first
walked through the doors of the WWE,

1189
00:52:41,007 --> 00:52:45,846
nobody imagined that I'd be one
of the greatest NXT Women's champions.

1190
00:52:46,646 --> 00:52:49,933
I was just a 20-year-old girl
from Laredo, Texas

1191
00:52:49,966 --> 00:52:52,652
who had some buzz
from the little name I made

1192
00:52:52,686 --> 00:52:54,037
on the independent scene.

1193
00:52:54,070 --> 00:52:56,790
But when the WWE signed me,

1194
00:52:56,823 --> 00:53:00,410
they didn't realize that they made one
of the greatest free-agent signings

1195
00:53:00,443 --> 00:53:02,145
in company history.

1196
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:04,731
Is that a cocky statement?

1197
00:53:05,498 --> 00:53:06,716
Some will say yes.

1198
00:53:07,584 --> 00:53:10,387
Name the accolade, I've achieved it.

1199
00:53:10,420 --> 00:53:11,888
Breakout winner.

1200
00:53:11,922 --> 00:53:14,024
Women's Tag Team Champion.

1201
00:53:14,057 --> 00:53:17,527
Iron Survivor,
two-time NXT Women's Champion.

1202
00:53:17,561 --> 00:53:21,298
and I could on and on and on.

1203
00:53:21,331 --> 00:53:24,968
Regardless of if you traveled
the whole wide world,

1204
00:53:25,001 --> 00:53:30,340
it's still too small in comparison
to stepping in a ring with me

1205
00:53:30,373 --> 00:53:34,077
because nobody beats "The Prodigy."

1206
00:53:34,110 --> 00:53:37,414
Were there some bumps along the road?

1207
00:53:37,447 --> 00:53:39,916
Yeah, absolutely.

1208
00:53:39,950 --> 00:53:43,820
Everyone knows that the climb to the top
is never a straight line.

1209
00:53:43,853 --> 00:53:47,390
But I have dedicated
the last three years of my life

1210
00:53:47,424 --> 00:53:49,492
to get in the conversation of NXT greats

1211
00:53:49,526 --> 00:53:51,628
that have carried the women's division

1212
00:53:51,661 --> 00:53:53,430
and now I'm at the forefront.

1213
00:53:54,364 --> 00:53:59,185
I'll put this division against
any NXT women's division of the past.

1214
00:53:59,219 --> 00:54:02,405
I called my shot the day
that I stepped into the ring

1215
00:54:02,439 --> 00:54:04,407
and called myself "The Prodigy."

1216
00:54:04,441 --> 00:54:07,711
And every single day
I live up to that name.

1217
00:54:09,579 --> 00:54:13,817
At 23 years old, most women don't even
know what they wanna do with their lives.

1218
00:54:13,850 --> 00:54:18,188
And here I am breaking records
and running down history.

1219
00:54:18,221 --> 00:54:21,558
I won't expect anyone watching
to understand the greatness

1220
00:54:21,591 --> 00:54:24,461
that they see before them,
but maybe if you were someone like…

1221
00:54:24,494 --> 00:54:28,398
like Simone Biles or… or Caitlyn Clark
you would… you would understand.

1222
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:35,205
[Vic] And Perez's reign continues
as champion.

1223
00:54:35,238 --> 00:54:38,975
[Roxanne] In two weeks,
Giulia walks into New Year's Evil

1224
00:54:39,009 --> 00:54:40,010
the underdog

1225
00:54:40,043 --> 00:54:42,912
to someone who is a bit younger,

1226
00:54:43,546 --> 00:54:44,781
a little smaller,

1227
00:54:44,814 --> 00:54:49,619
and the woman who is gonna
carry this division into 2025.

1228
00:54:51,988 --> 00:54:54,758
That doesn't speak to how good Giulia is.

1229
00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:58,228
That speaks volumes to how great

1230
00:54:58,261 --> 00:55:01,765
"The Prodigy" Roxanne Perez is.

1231
00:55:04,818 --> 00:55:06,886
[Vic] Again, Booker,
it's two weeks from tonight

1232
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,171
in Los Angeles,

1233
00:55:08,204 --> 00:55:12,559
Perez, Giulia,
two for the NXT Women's Championship

1234
00:55:12,592 --> 00:55:15,612
at WWE New Year's Evil.

1235
00:55:15,645 --> 00:55:17,464
♪ I get a deal
And then I get some equity ♪

1236
00:55:17,497 --> 00:55:19,599
♪ When I get money
Then I'll buy some land… ♪

1237
00:55:20,166 --> 00:55:23,486
[Vic] Speaking of championships,
we gotta go back to earlier tonight.

1238
00:55:25,221 --> 00:55:27,707
There was a lot of controversy

1239
00:55:27,741 --> 00:55:30,060
surrounding
this Heritage Cup Championship matchup.

1240
00:55:30,093 --> 00:55:33,196
Again, Mr. Regal
decided to join Lexis King this evening,

1241
00:55:33,229 --> 00:55:34,297
be in his corner.

1242
00:55:34,330 --> 00:55:39,402
King, again, wouldn't drop down
to the lows of what his father would do.

1243
00:55:40,820 --> 00:55:42,339
Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you doing?

1244
00:55:42,372 --> 00:55:45,775
[Vic] Because of that, Mr. Regal
laid out Lexis King,

1245
00:55:45,809 --> 00:55:47,727
but when the referee
turned around and realized

1246
00:55:47,761 --> 00:55:49,229
the brass knuckles were in the ring,

1247
00:55:49,262 --> 00:55:52,132
they're in the hands of Charlie Dempsey,
the Heritage Cup Champion,

1248
00:55:52,165 --> 00:55:53,767
who was disqualified

1249
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,821
[Mike] Here's your winner,
as a result of a disqualification…

1250
00:55:57,854 --> 00:55:59,055
[swooshes]

1251
00:55:59,089 --> 00:55:59,973
Aah.

1252
00:56:01,524 --> 00:56:03,243
[sighs] Wow.

1253
00:56:04,427 --> 00:56:07,230
Lexis King, congratulations
on your victory.

1254
00:56:07,263 --> 00:56:08,732
But I do have to ask you about--

1255
00:56:08,765 --> 00:56:10,850
My first championship.

1256
00:56:10,884 --> 00:56:12,936
You understand what that means?
My first championship.

1257
00:56:12,969 --> 00:56:15,855
And I just knew
if I stuck to being a man of integrity,

1258
00:56:15,889 --> 00:56:18,942
if I stuck to my gut,
I knew tonight would be the night,

1259
00:56:18,975 --> 00:56:20,360
and I did it.

1260
00:56:20,393 --> 00:56:22,045
Yeah, but, Lexis, we did--

1261
00:56:22,078 --> 00:56:23,546
Look, I know I could've cheated.

1262
00:56:23,580 --> 00:56:25,899
I know I could've went out there
and taken shortcuts.

1263
00:56:25,932 --> 00:56:27,250
There definitely were some.

1264
00:56:27,283 --> 00:56:28,968
But I proved tonight to myself,

1265
00:56:29,002 --> 00:56:31,121
to everyone in the locker room,
my family back home,

1266
00:56:31,154 --> 00:56:33,189
that I am the man of integrity

1267
00:56:33,223 --> 00:56:35,041
and I don't need those shortcuts to win.

1268
00:56:35,075 --> 00:56:37,060
Well, Lexis, I do have to ask you if--

1269
00:56:37,093 --> 00:56:38,795
I know it's…
You wanna talk to me right now.

1270
00:56:38,828 --> 00:56:40,447
I am the Heritage Cup Champion, but

1271
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,249
there's a lot going on
in my head right now. I'm very emotional.

1272
00:56:43,283 --> 00:56:45,919
And it feels like a huge weight
has been lifted off my shoulders.

1273
00:56:45,952 --> 00:56:48,955
So I'm gonna go take some time
and let that sink in. Thank you.

1274
00:56:48,988 --> 00:56:49,889
Thank you.

[sighs]

1276
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,896
[Vic] Lexis King did
what he said he was going to do.

1277
00:56:57,547 --> 00:56:59,215
Not be his father.

1278
00:56:59,249 --> 00:57:01,534
Be a step better than his father.

1279
00:57:01,568 --> 00:57:02,702
Be a cut above.

1280
00:57:02,735 --> 00:57:06,139
And he's found himself to be
the new Heritage Cup Champion.

Are these two about to become the next
in line for the NXT Tag Team title?

1290

To do so, they need to beat
three other teams.

It's a Christmas Chaos Fatal Four-Way

Last week was the highlight of my year.

1323
00:59:24,043 --> 00:59:25,428
So thank you, Je'Von,

1324
00:59:26,212 --> 00:59:28,448
for helping me find my smile

1325
00:59:29,315 --> 00:59:31,718
by taking yours.

1326
00:59:33,937 --> 00:59:35,722
[Vic] We see the field filling up.

1327
00:59:35,755 --> 00:59:39,475
The NQCC, Borne, Tavion Heights,

1328
00:59:39,509 --> 00:59:43,313
jaw jacking with "Stacks," Crusifino
of The Family.

1329
00:59:43,997 --> 00:59:45,999
And not to be outdone, OTM.

1330
00:59:46,933 --> 00:59:49,102
Lucien, Bronco in there as well.

1331
00:59:52,839 --> 00:59:57,927
[Mike] And their opponents,
Hank Walker and Tank Ledger,

1332
00:59:57,961 --> 01:00:01,664
Hank and Tank!

1333
01:00:01,698 --> 01:00:03,399
[Vic] And the fourth team has arrived.

1334
01:00:03,433 --> 01:00:05,918
The winner will be
the number one contender

1335
01:00:05,952 --> 01:00:08,237
to the NXT Tag Team title.

1336
01:00:08,271 --> 01:00:10,740
-Right off the bat.
-[Booker] Oh yeah! Oh Yeah!

1337
01:00:10,773 --> 01:00:12,008
Honk, honk, baby!

1338
01:00:12,041 --> 01:00:14,327
-Honk, honk.
-[Vic] Christmas tree coming in.

1339
01:00:15,128 --> 01:00:16,412
What is he doing?

1340
01:00:16,446 --> 01:00:18,298
[overlapping yelling]

1341
01:00:19,148 --> 01:00:22,669
-[Booker] Bring the bales…
-[Vic] This is tornado-tag rules.

1342
01:00:22,702 --> 01:00:24,387
No disqualification.

1343
01:00:24,420 --> 01:00:28,658
Pinfall submission must take place
inside the squared circle.

1344
01:00:28,691 --> 01:00:32,829
There's candy canes.There's ornaments.
There's Christmas trees. There's presents.

1345
01:00:32,862 --> 01:00:34,647
Santa Claus is sitting to my left.

1346
01:00:34,681 --> 01:00:36,466
I mean, there's a… the…

1347
01:00:36,499 --> 01:00:39,736
-What's going on, Booker?
-[Booker] Right now, they're going nuts.

1348
01:00:39,769 --> 01:00:41,938
Right now. They're just snowballs.

1349
01:00:42,705 --> 01:00:45,041
-[Vic] They're doing what?
-[Booker] Snowball fighting.

1350
01:00:45,074 --> 01:00:46,693
[indistinct yelling]

1351
01:00:46,726 --> 01:00:49,495
-He said he was shooting.
-I thought he--

1352
01:00:49,529 --> 01:00:50,396
Let's go.

1353
01:00:55,418 --> 01:01:00,623
[Vic] Well, they certainly got cooled off.
This the Christmas Chaos Fatal Four-Way.

1354
01:01:00,656 --> 01:01:02,859
And there's Tavion Heights coming back in.

1355
01:01:03,593 --> 01:01:04,627
And again…

1356
01:01:05,128 --> 01:01:06,379
[Booker] Presents for everybody.

1357
01:01:06,412 --> 01:01:07,864
[Vic] Everything going on is legal.

1358
01:01:08,598 --> 01:01:10,233
[screams]

1359
01:01:10,266 --> 01:01:11,951
[Booker laughs] Oh man.

1360
01:01:11,984 --> 01:01:13,503
I love it, man.

1361
01:01:15,021 --> 01:01:16,039
[Vic] We saw them earlier.

1362
01:01:16,072 --> 01:01:20,126
Heights and Borne, they gotta block out
what happened to Charlie Dempsey earlier.

1363
01:01:20,159 --> 01:01:23,496
But Tavion Heights not on the right side
of that steel chair.

1364
01:01:23,529 --> 01:01:25,148
Nor was Myles Borne.

1365
01:01:25,181 --> 01:01:26,366
Ooh.

1366
01:01:26,399 --> 01:01:29,402
[Booker] Bronco
just bringing the pain right now, baby.

1367
01:01:29,435 --> 01:01:33,923
OTM, in the new year, predicted
they will be the NXT Tag Team Champions.

1368
01:01:33,956 --> 01:01:37,643
Nice dropkick, but Borne turning it
right back around into Lucien Price.

1369
01:01:37,677 --> 01:01:40,663
How dangerous are
these tornado tag-team matches?

1370
01:01:40,696 --> 01:01:42,899
You don't have to tag anybody.
Everybody's legal.

1371
01:01:42,932 --> 01:01:44,784
It's like a Wild West here in Lowell.

1372
01:01:44,817 --> 01:01:47,236
[Booker] Everything's
just chaos right now, Vic.

1373
01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:49,906
Hank and Tank,
I must give it to these guys.

1374
01:01:49,939 --> 01:01:51,841
They're looking damn good right…

1375
01:01:51,874 --> 01:01:52,825
Look at Santa.

1376
01:01:52,859 --> 01:01:54,210
Look at Santa. He's loving it.

1377
01:01:54,243 --> 01:01:56,262
[chanting] Santa! Santa!

1378
01:01:56,295 --> 01:02:00,983
Santa! Santa! Santa! Santa! Santa! Santa!

1379
01:02:01,017 --> 01:02:03,252
Santa! Santa!

1380
01:02:03,286 --> 01:02:05,054
[Vic] Well, he certainly is jolly.

1381
01:02:05,088 --> 01:02:07,073
Oh! Hank and Tank

1382
01:02:07,573 --> 01:02:10,193
looking at jolly old Saint Nick
a little bit too long.

1383
01:02:10,226 --> 01:02:12,795
And they're certainly
getting some presents right now.

1384
01:02:12,829 --> 01:02:14,997
[Booker] What do you think's
in that… stocking stuffer?

1385
01:02:15,031 --> 01:02:16,599
-What do you think?
-[Vic] I don't know.

1386
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:20,636
We just saw that briefcase.
I'm sure that's loaded from Luca.

1387
01:02:20,670 --> 01:02:22,555
And The Family taking over.

1388
01:02:22,588 --> 01:02:25,074
"The Don" gave The Family
an early Christmas gift

1389
01:02:25,108 --> 01:02:26,943
by getting them into this matchup.

1390
01:02:26,976 --> 01:02:29,061
Told you "The Don"
was gonna take care of them.

1391
01:02:30,747 --> 01:02:33,449
[Booker] There's a lot of chaos,
but this match is high-stakes.

1392
01:02:33,483 --> 01:02:35,551
[Vic] But this has been chaos
for two weeks, Booker.

1393
01:02:35,585 --> 01:02:37,820
I mean, what… what's different
than on this brand?

1394
01:02:37,854 --> 01:02:41,824
As there goes "Stacks," the only Superstar
on this matchup to wear gold here on NXT.

1395
01:02:41,858 --> 01:02:44,093
I mean, that has to count for something.

1396
01:02:45,094 --> 01:02:47,680
What did Rizzo just give Luca?

1397
01:02:47,713 --> 01:02:49,398
[Booker] Oh baby!

1398
01:02:49,432 --> 01:02:52,268
-[Vic] Oh my!
-[Booker] Oh, here we go.

1399
01:02:52,885 --> 01:02:57,340
[Vic] Book, he's looking for
that seven-ten split.

1400
01:02:57,373 --> 01:02:58,908
[Booker] Oh yes, here we go.

1401
01:03:00,042 --> 01:03:01,244
Do it, man!

1402
01:03:01,277 --> 01:03:02,178
Do it!

1403
01:03:03,980 --> 01:03:05,465
[Vic] Oh!

1404
01:03:05,498 --> 01:03:07,650
[Booker chuckles] Yeah!

1405
01:03:09,535 --> 01:03:12,205
[Vic] Tank's jingle bells just got rocked.

1406
01:03:12,238 --> 01:03:14,357
[Booker] Put something random down, man.

1407
01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:19,479
-[Booker laughs]
-[crowd chanting] Family! Family! Family!

1408
01:03:19,512 --> 01:03:21,464
[Vic] But again,
it's gotta be inside the ring,

1409
01:03:21,497 --> 01:03:22,965
pinfall submission.

1410
01:03:22,999 --> 01:03:25,501
The Family! Uh-oh.

1411
01:03:27,787 --> 01:03:30,640
"Stacks" got caught.
Everyone's gotta move around.

1412
01:03:30,673 --> 01:03:31,691
Booker!

1413
01:03:32,241 --> 01:03:33,843
[Booker] There we go, baby.

1414
01:03:34,827 --> 01:03:38,247
Tavion and Myles Borne
just got serious, Vic.

1415
01:03:38,281 --> 01:03:39,932
Just like I said, high stakes.

1416
01:03:39,966 --> 01:03:43,653
This is for a shot
at the Tag Team Championship.

1417
01:03:44,453 --> 01:03:45,888
Let's get serious.

1418
01:03:45,922 --> 01:03:47,790
-Here we go.
-[Vic] Take another look.

1419
01:03:48,291 --> 01:03:49,809
Oh, nasty landing.

1420
01:03:49,842 --> 01:03:51,561
And now back to the live action.

1421
01:03:51,594 --> 01:03:53,596
The two teams standing, OTM,

1422
01:03:54,130 --> 01:03:56,799
Borne, Heights
of the No Quarter Catch Crew.

1423
01:03:56,832 --> 01:03:58,701
And Lucien got caught!

1424
01:03:58,734 --> 01:04:01,070
Oh, the cutter. This could be it.

1425
01:04:01,103 --> 01:04:04,657
-[Booker] It's all fun and games…
-[Vic] NQCC the number one contenders.

1426
01:04:04,690 --> 01:04:07,927
And oh, everybody in to break things up.

1427
01:04:08,761 --> 01:04:12,281
Only one team will win Christmas Chaos.

1428
01:04:12,315 --> 01:04:16,219
Who will become the number one contenders
to the NXT gold?

1429
01:04:20,056 --> 01:04:22,124
[Vic] This truly is Christmas Chaos,

1430
01:04:22,158 --> 01:04:24,627
a fatal four-way tornado tag-team match

1431
01:04:24,660 --> 01:04:26,963
where the winning team
will become the number one contenders

1432
01:04:26,996 --> 01:04:28,681
to the NXT Tag Team titles.

1433
01:04:28,714 --> 01:04:31,334
And right now, Lucien is all tied up.

1434
01:04:32,952 --> 01:04:35,504
[Booker] Oh baby.

1435
01:04:35,538 --> 01:04:38,608
[Vic] I'm assuming that Cora Jade
wrapped that present for somebody.

1436
01:04:38,641 --> 01:04:40,643
Kendo stick to the spine!

1437
01:04:41,677 --> 01:04:43,379
Hey! What the…

1438
01:04:43,412 --> 01:04:46,632
-[Booker] Merry Christmas. Oh man.
-[Vic] Wicked over there! Why?

1439
01:04:49,452 --> 01:04:52,021
NQCC in control.

1440
01:04:52,054 --> 01:04:56,792
And man, Booker, did these two
take a giant step, even in defeat

1441
01:04:56,826 --> 01:04:58,110
at WWE Deadline.

1442
01:04:58,961 --> 01:05:00,930
[Booker] Oh baby!

1443
01:05:00,963 --> 01:05:04,333
Hank and Tank right in there
at the right time. At the right time.

1444
01:05:04,367 --> 01:05:06,569
Can they do it, Vic? Can they do it?

1445
01:05:06,602 --> 01:05:07,536
[Vic] I gotta ask this.

1446
01:05:07,570 --> 01:05:10,539
What in the world do you think
Axiom and Frazer are thinking?

1447
01:05:11,624 --> 01:05:12,892
Oh, wait a minute!

1448
01:05:12,925 --> 01:05:15,611
Hit first, hit last.

1449
01:05:15,645 --> 01:05:16,913
Bronco Nima.

1450
01:05:18,781 --> 01:05:20,082
Putting on the brakes.

1451
01:05:21,117 --> 01:05:23,152
That's tag-team continuity. Is it not?

1452
01:05:23,185 --> 01:05:26,522
-[Booker] Hank and Tank… Oh man!
-[Vic] Number one contenders. Ooh.

1453
01:05:33,562 --> 01:05:34,797
Things breaking down.

1454
01:05:34,830 --> 01:05:36,799
No tags needed in this matchup.

1455
01:05:36,832 --> 01:05:38,968
No disqualifications in this matchup.

1456
01:05:39,001 --> 01:05:42,772
And everything and…
Well, I mean, literally everything…

1457
01:05:42,805 --> 01:05:45,374
[Booker] Everything, man. Just say that.
Everything, Vic.

1458
01:05:45,908 --> 01:05:48,577
Now, just looking around,
and there's been a lot of… Ooh!

1459
01:05:49,312 --> 01:05:52,531
-[Booker] That was it, baby.
-[Vic] Ooh. Another nasty landing.

1460
01:05:53,132 --> 01:05:54,583
Just taking a look around…

1461
01:05:54,617 --> 01:05:56,335
Now you see what The Family's doing.

1462
01:05:56,369 --> 01:05:59,388
Well, I'm sure they've done this
with some crowbars on the docks.

1463
01:05:59,422 --> 01:06:02,358
[Booker] That must be the biggest
candy cane I've ever seen in my life.

1464
01:06:02,391 --> 01:06:04,093
[Vic] You know it's not real, right?

1465
01:06:04,126 --> 01:06:06,245
-It looks like those are decorations.
-[Booker] Okay.

1466
01:06:07,079 --> 01:06:08,731
[Vic] But they are effective when used.

1467
01:06:08,764 --> 01:06:11,717
-And OTM has enough of the fun and games.
-[Booker] Oh baby.

1468
01:06:11,751 --> 01:06:13,953
-[Vic] The shenanigans are over.
-[Booker] Oh baby.

1469
01:06:13,986 --> 01:06:17,023
[Vic] They don't like the holidays.
They don't like gift giving.

1470
01:06:17,056 --> 01:06:20,176
They said that they are the only real ones
in the division.

1471
01:06:20,209 --> 01:06:22,678
They stated that earlier,
and it's hard to argue.

1472
01:06:22,712 --> 01:06:26,799
[Booker] Price has said that, Vic,
they could be the next big thing.

1473
01:06:26,832 --> 01:06:29,969
I'm talking about
Tag Team Championship gold right now.

1474
01:06:30,002 --> 01:06:33,389
They have that opportunity in this match.
Can they cash it in?

1475
01:06:33,422 --> 01:06:35,641
In fact, will they cash it in?

1476
01:06:40,429 --> 01:06:44,633
[Vic] Borne, not gonna like the landing
right onto that steel chair.

1477
01:06:44,667 --> 01:06:45,935
[Booker] Wow. Back right there.

1478
01:06:45,968 --> 01:06:48,671
[Vic] And Height's realizing
that the end could be near.

1479
01:06:48,704 --> 01:06:50,923
Reached out. He got caught as well.

1480
01:06:50,956 --> 01:06:53,376
Dropped also on that same steel chair.

1481
01:06:53,409 --> 01:06:56,095
[Booker] OTM looking up
to the billing right now, Vic.

1482
01:06:56,128 --> 01:06:58,998
[Vic] Charlie Dempsey not out here
after the controversy earlier

1483
01:06:59,031 --> 01:07:00,449
surrounding the Heritage Cup.

1484
01:07:00,483 --> 01:07:02,518
He is not our here nor is Wren Sinclair.

1485
01:07:02,551 --> 01:07:05,087

1659
01:14:48,550 --> 01:14:50,636
You couldn't beat him one-on-one.

1660
01:14:51,253 --> 01:14:55,123
And now with me in the equation,
your chances are literally zero.

1661
01:14:55,791 --> 01:14:56,975
-Zero!
-[mouths] Okay.

1662
01:14:57,009 --> 01:14:58,760
["Undeniable" playing]

1663
01:15:01,630 --> 01:15:03,565
Okay. Okay.

1664
01:15:03,599 --> 01:15:06,185
That's enough math for now.

1665
01:15:06,218 --> 01:15:09,004
And before this goes any further,

1666
01:15:09,037 --> 01:15:11,406
Trick, if this is the match that you want,

1667
01:15:11,940 --> 01:15:14,259
then I'm more than happy
to sign off on it.

1668
01:15:14,843 --> 01:15:17,145
Set it up, Ava. This is what we want.

1669
01:15:17,179 --> 01:15:18,447
[Ava] All right.

1670
01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:22,868
In two weeks in Los Angeles
at New Year's Evil,

1671
01:15:22,901 --> 01:15:24,720
it will be Oba Femi

1672
01:15:24,753 --> 01:15:26,355
versus Eddy Thorpe

1673
01:15:26,388 --> 01:15:28,257
versus Trick Williams

1674
01:15:28,290 --> 01:15:30,726
for the NXT Championship

1675
01:15:31,410 --> 01:15:34,096
in a triple-threat match.

1676
01:15:42,004 --> 01:15:44,339
[Vic] We heard from our general manager.

1677
01:15:44,373 --> 01:15:46,375
Is this wise, Booker, of Williams?

1678
01:15:46,408 --> 01:15:48,227
The number's not in his favor.

1679
01:15:48,260 --> 01:15:51,797
[Booker] What's happening, Vic?
What's happening right now? Oh yes!

1680
01:15:51,830 --> 01:15:54,983
Oh yes! That man is what's happening.

1681
01:15:55,017 --> 01:15:56,335
[Vic] "The Ruler."

1682
01:15:58,854 --> 01:16:00,522
"The Destroyer."

1683
01:16:01,039 --> 01:16:02,858
The Iron Survivor.

1684
01:16:05,877 --> 01:16:07,696
-Planting Trick!
-[Booker] Gone, man.

1685
01:16:10,048 --> 01:16:12,834
[Vic] And he's wiping out the field
with ease.

1686
01:16:15,237 --> 01:16:16,288
And…

1687
01:16:16,321 --> 01:16:17,756
[crowd booing]

1688
01:16:25,814 --> 01:16:27,749
["Hands of Fate" playing]

1689
01:16:27,783 --> 01:16:30,319
[Vic] Eddy heading to the hills

1690
01:16:30,352 --> 01:16:32,454
as our champion is down.

1691
01:16:32,487 --> 01:16:34,456
Oba, the one standing tall.

1692
01:16:34,489 --> 01:16:38,560
Is the ball about to drop
on the Whoop That era
