Together.

00:00:38,972 --> 00:00:40,924
[Vic] Welcome to NXT!

6
00:00:46,029 --> 00:00:49,766
We are on the heels of a historic,
record-breaking Royal Rumble,

7
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:50,983
as we are officially on

8
00:00:51,016 --> 00:00:55,088
the Road to WrestleMania
weekend in Las Vegas.

9
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,192
And after her record-breaking performance
on Saturday at the Royal Rumble,

10
00:00:59,224 --> 00:01:03,663
Roxanne Perez has her eyes
on the NXT women's champion.

11
00:01:03,696 --> 00:01:08,417
That means Giulia would defend her title
a week from Saturday, at Vengeance Day,

12
00:01:08,451 --> 00:01:13,206
not only against The Prodigy,
but also this NBA All Star, Bayley.

13
00:01:13,238 --> 00:01:17,143
All three are here live
for our championship summit

14
00:01:17,176 --> 00:01:18,277
later on tonight.

15
00:01:18,311 --> 00:01:21,481
Also arriving earlier today,
it was A-Town Down Under.

16
00:01:21,514 --> 00:01:23,649
They're set for the main event showdown,

17
00:01:23,683 --> 00:01:27,103
a tag team match-up
against their opponent in DC.

18
00:01:27,137 --> 00:01:30,289
That's NXT champion, Oba Femi,
and his partner,

19
00:01:30,323 --> 00:01:33,877
not by choice, may I add, Trick Williams.

20
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:36,295
Can Trick handle
his emotions here tonight?

21
00:01:36,329 --> 00:01:39,883
Huge main event on NXT.

[Corey] I agree with your assessment
of the situation, Vic,

00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:31,418
but you have to ask yourself
the same question.

34
00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:34,453
On the other hand, the Dark Angel

Stephanie Vaquer!

00:03:12,058 --> 00:03:13,977
[Vic] Hey, Graves, you've been here
for the arrivals

48
00:03:14,010 --> 00:03:15,644
of a lot of the international sensations.

49
00:03:15,679 --> 00:03:18,982
But what impresses you the most
with the number one contender

50
00:03:19,015 --> 00:03:21,117
to the Women's North American
Championship?

51
00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:23,737
[Corey] I don't think I can overstate
how impressed I've been

00:03:23,769 --> 00:03:26,905
by the confidence and poise
of Stephanie Vaquer

53
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:28,575
since arriving in NXT.

54
00:03:28,608 --> 00:03:33,296
A true international phenomenon
who looks just as comfortable here in NXT

55
00:03:33,328 --> 00:03:35,048
as she does in her very own bed.

56
00:03:35,081 --> 00:03:37,316
This is a dangerous, dangerous woman, Vic.

57
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:38,935
[Vic] And a week from Saturday,

58
00:03:38,968 --> 00:03:41,404
will Stephanie Vaquer
put gold around her waist,

00:03:41,438 --> 00:03:43,590
as she meets Fallon Henley

00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:48,094
for the Women's North American title
in Washington, DC, Vengeance Day?

61
00:03:49,745 --> 00:03:51,998
This is a first-time meeting,
by the way, one on one,

62
00:03:52,031 --> 00:03:54,534
for Jacy Jane and Stephanie Vaquer.

And it was Vaquer who won
a 4-Way at New Year's Evil,

65
00:03:58,637 --> 00:04:01,658
which earned her a future
opportunity at the title,

66
00:04:01,691 --> 00:04:04,928
which we just mentioned,
will be a week from Saturday.

67

Stephanie! Stephanie! Stephanie!

68
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,504
[Vic] And no doubt who the NXT Universe
is behind in this match.

69
00:04:14,536 --> 00:04:18,123
It was Vaquer who actually
entered her first Royal Rumble

70
00:04:18,158 --> 00:04:22,495
this past Saturday in Indianapolis,
in front of over 70,000.

71
00:04:22,529 --> 00:04:25,330
And we have to congratulate
Charlotte Flair,

72
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:27,067
who won the women's Royal Rumble.

73
00:04:27,099 --> 00:04:29,252
[Corey] I would congratulate
Charlotte Flair

74
00:04:29,284 --> 00:04:30,837

00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:33,506
I look for reasons
to congratulate The Queen.

76
00:04:33,539 --> 00:04:37,176
But the first woman to win
the Royal Rumble twice, that is history.

77
00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:38,611
That's just what Charlotte does.

78
00:04:38,645 --> 00:04:40,246
[Vic] Announced she will be here tonight.

79
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,482
She said that last night
on Monday Night Raw.

80
00:04:42,515 --> 00:04:44,150
She has yet to arrive.

81
00:04:44,183 --> 00:04:45,652
Well, Booker, you're a king.

82
00:04:45,685 --> 00:04:47,437
I mean, we all wait for royalty,
do we not?

83
00:04:47,469 --> 00:04:48,688
[Booker T] Yes, most definitely.

84
00:04:48,722 --> 00:04:50,022
Most definitely. Stand up.

85
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:51,091
Stand up.

86
00:04:51,123 --> 00:04:54,394
[Vic] She's not out here, so I'm not gonna
stand up just yet, as Vaquer in control.

87
00:04:54,426 --> 00:04:56,579
But what a night, Booker,
for Roxanne Perez

88
00:04:56,613 --> 00:04:57,997
when we talk about [indistinct].

89
00:04:58,031 --> 00:05:00,866
[Booker T] Roxanne Perez,
67 minute set records.

90
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,053
And I'm gonna tell you,
that's just the beginning

91

of Roxanne Perez's bright, bright future.

92

[Vic] She is here tonight as well,
part of our championship summit.

93
00:05:09,642 --> 00:05:12,228
And there's Jacy Jane now
cranking up aggression.

94
00:05:12,262 --> 00:05:15,115
-[Booker T] Oh, yes, man.
-[Vic] Going right at Stephanie Vaquer.

95
00:05:15,147 --> 00:05:17,883
And it was Vaquer
who lost to Shotzi a few weeks back.

96
00:05:17,917 --> 00:05:20,219
Thanks in part, Book, to Fatal Influence.

97
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:23,373
[Booker T] Come on, man.
Let's quit talking about old stuff.

98
00:05:23,406 --> 00:05:26,126
Let's talk about Jacy Jane right now,

99
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:30,229
and this opportunity of a lifetime
to knock Stephanie Vaquer

100
00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:31,897
right off the top of the mountain.

101
00:05:31,931 --> 00:05:34,183
[Corey] Jacy Jane has
several opportunities at hand.

102
00:05:34,217 --> 00:05:35,551
She can advance her own career,

103
00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:37,804
she can inflict a little damage
on The Dark Angel.

104
00:05:37,837 --> 00:05:38,671
[Booker T] Oh!

105
00:05:38,705 --> 00:05:41,608
[Corey] She can also do a little scouting
on behalf of Fallon Henley.

106
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,228
[Vic] That's a great point.
Nice dropkick on the corner from Vaquer.

107
00:05:45,260 --> 00:05:48,414
And it was Jacy who found herself
on the wrong side of Stephanie

108
00:05:48,448 --> 00:05:52,217
later that night,
when Vaquer lost two Shotzi and Jacy.

109
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:54,721
Up over, looking to take down Vaquer.

110
00:05:54,753 --> 00:05:56,656
And ooh! Right across the face.

111
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:57,823
Vaquer now charging--

112
00:05:57,857 --> 00:06:01,227
Big leg drop, center of the ring,
into the cover.

113
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:04,813
Looking to put this one away early,
and Jacy Jane kicking out at one.

114
00:06:04,847 --> 00:06:09,335
Booker, your rock star could playing
her final tune, so to speak.

115
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:12,438
[Booker T] Come on, man,
don't sleep on Jacy Jane…

116
00:06:12,489 --> 00:06:13,957
[continues indistinctly]

117
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:16,876
Like I said, this is an opportunity
of a lifetime

118
00:06:16,909 --> 00:06:18,844
to knock Stephanie Vaquer out.

119
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:21,330
And trust me, trust me,
I think she can do it.

120
00:06:21,364 --> 00:06:23,433
You know what? I think she's gonna do it.

121
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:25,719
[Vic] Jacy didn't seem
too confident last week

122
00:06:25,752 --> 00:06:28,488
when Fallon made her aware
of this match-up.

123
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,157
[Booker T] You know what?
Preparation is the only way.

124
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:34,544
You gotta have more than a week's notice.
Come on, Vic.

125
00:06:34,577 --> 00:06:36,529
[Vic] She had more than a week's notice.

126
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:38,014
Plenty of time, is it not?

127
00:06:38,048 --> 00:06:39,948
[Booker T] That's what I said, isn't it?

128
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:42,769
Preparation is the only--
against Stephanie Vaquer.

129
00:06:42,801 --> 00:06:44,721
Come on, Vic. Come on, man.

130
00:06:45,921 --> 00:06:48,308
[Corey] Underhanded technique
from Jacy Jane.

131
00:06:48,341 --> 00:06:50,393
-[Vic] You're on one tonight.
-[Booker T] Oh!

132
00:06:50,426 --> 00:06:52,679
-[Vic] Big kick.
-[Booker T] Just speaking truth, man.

133
00:06:52,712 --> 00:06:53,813
I'm just speaking truth.

134
00:06:53,847 --> 00:06:56,616
Like I said, don't sleep on Jacy Jane.

135
00:06:56,649 --> 00:06:57,683
Oh, no!

136
00:06:57,717 --> 00:06:59,953
[Vic] Going home on the senton, Vaquer.

137
00:06:59,986 --> 00:07:02,671
Oh, and, Booker,
you know what's coming next.

138
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:05,108
[Booker T] Oh… Ah.

139
00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:08,361
[crowd] Two. Three. Four. Five.

140
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:10,714
[Booker T] Oh, yes!

141
00:07:10,746 --> 00:07:13,849
[Vic] Vaquer in control of this match-up.

142
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:17,337
Booker might've lost control of himself.

143
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:19,489
So, Graves, it might be you and I
the next few moments.

144
00:07:19,522 --> 00:07:22,424
[Booker T] That's what the move is called.
Come on, man!

145
00:07:22,459 --> 00:07:25,412
-[Vic] How do you spell that, Book?
-[Booker T chuckles]

146
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:28,313
And Vaquer trying to keep everyone at bay.
There's Fallon Henley,

147
00:07:28,347 --> 00:07:31,801
as Corey brought out earlier,
could be scouting Vaquer. Whoa!

148
00:07:31,918 --> 00:07:33,719
Referee distracted by Nyx.

149
00:07:33,753 --> 00:07:36,506
Fallon sticking her nose in the business
where it doesn't belong.

150
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:39,075
[Corey] But The Dark Angel's
taking her eye off the task at hand,

151
00:07:39,109 --> 00:07:42,262
-that being Jacy Jayne!
-[Vic] And Jayne making her pay!

152
00:07:42,294 --> 00:07:43,830
[Booker T] Yes!

153
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:48,601
[Vic] Fatal Influence getting their way
early on here on NXT.

154
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:54,257
[Vic] It has been all Jacy Jayne
in this match-up.

155
00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:55,775
Booker, Corey brings up a great point.

156
00:07:55,842 --> 00:08:00,864
As a Superstar yourself who has had
over 25 different championship reigns,

157
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:03,883
how should Henley be scouting
Stephanie Vaquer here tonight?

158
00:08:03,917 --> 00:08:06,469
[Booker T] Actually,
that's 35 championship reigns.

159
00:08:06,503 --> 00:08:10,173
But to your point, like, this is
the biggest match of her career.

160
00:08:10,205 --> 00:08:13,510
Like this… Like, she's the underdog
stepping into this match-up.

161
00:08:13,542 --> 00:08:14,994
That's what I would do, Vic.

162
00:08:15,027 --> 00:08:17,664
-Here we go! Oh, yeah!
-[Vic] Look at this. Oh!

163
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:19,349
-Jacy Jayne.
-[Booker T] See what I'm saying?

164
00:08:19,382 --> 00:08:21,835
-See what I'm saying?
-[Vic] There's your point, Book.

165
00:08:21,868 --> 00:08:23,635
Jayne knows what she's doing
inside the ring.

166
00:08:23,719 --> 00:08:26,972
Vaquer got a little bit fancy,
a little too cute, and paid for it.

167
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:29,075
[Corey] Some people were questioning,
on social media,

168
00:08:29,109 --> 00:08:32,712
Jacy Jayne's adapting to this match-up
because her last eight contests

169
00:08:32,746 --> 00:08:36,415
were all tag team matches. She's back
to the traditional single contest tonight.

170
00:08:36,448 --> 00:08:40,035
And right now, she's on the top.
Vaquer able to slither her way free.

171
00:08:40,069 --> 00:08:43,939
-And right to the face goes Vaquer!
-[Booker T] Man!

172
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:49,579
[Corey] And Vaquer now, looking for
an exclamation point on this match-up.

173
00:08:49,612 --> 00:08:53,533
[Vic] Yeah, things somehow
about to get even worse for Jacy Jayne.

174
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:56,419
Cover your eyes, Book,
You're not gonna wanna see this.

175
00:08:56,453 --> 00:08:58,954
-[Booker T] Oh, no! Man!
-[crowd cheering]

176
00:08:58,988 --> 00:09:02,058
[Vic] Massive superplex
from Stephanie Vaquer

177
00:09:02,092 --> 00:09:04,511
takes down Jacy Jayne.

178
00:09:05,627 --> 00:09:07,714
Let's take another look. Ooh!

179
00:09:07,747 --> 00:09:11,251
Thunderous impact on the superplex.

180
00:09:11,284 --> 00:09:14,504
But how much did Vaquer
take out of herself delivering the move?

181
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:19,793
-[crowd chanting] Stephanie! Stephanie!
-[Vic] NXT Universe rallying Vaquer.

182
00:09:19,826 --> 00:09:23,396
Fallon Henley on the outside.
Her smile is gone.

183
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:25,632
Jacy Jayne right now, not smiling at all.

184
00:09:25,665 --> 00:09:28,918
This is starting to break down
right in front of us. And remember,

185
00:09:28,952 --> 00:09:32,005
it's Fallon Henley who defends the title
a week from Saturday,

186
00:09:32,088 --> 00:09:35,308
Vengeance Day, in our nation's capital,
against Stephanie Vaquer.

187
00:09:35,342 --> 00:09:38,078
Jacy Jayne, right now, trying her best

188
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:42,649
to knock down Vaquer just a peg
to help out Fallon Henley.

189
00:09:43,382 --> 00:09:47,252
-[Booker T] She's feeling it. Oh, no.
-[Vic] She'll be feeling that too, Book.

190
00:09:47,286 --> 00:09:50,540
-Got caught. Answer right back from Jayne.
-[Booker T] I told you.

191
00:09:50,573 --> 00:09:52,692
I told you she's feeling it.

192
00:09:52,726 --> 00:09:56,029
-Get your ticket to… Oh, no.
-[Vic] Well, the ride's closed!

193
00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:59,165
Vaquer turning right around. Boom!

194
00:09:59,199 --> 00:10:01,367
Dropping Jacy Jayne!

195
00:10:01,401 --> 00:10:03,620
-[crowd cheering]
-Vaquer!

196
00:10:04,554 --> 00:10:06,973
Meteora!

197
00:10:07,007 --> 00:10:10,526
[Corey] This could be the beginning
of the end for Jacy Jayne.

198
00:10:11,778 --> 00:10:13,947
[Vic] You can say that one more time.

199
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:15,415
Bang!

200
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:16,900
Belly-to-back suplex.

201
00:10:16,933 --> 00:10:19,786
And this might be that moment, Graves,

202
00:10:19,819 --> 00:10:22,271
Vaquer needed,
because now you see the confidence

203
00:10:22,305 --> 00:10:24,406
coming back into the number-one contender.

204
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,712
[Corey] The slightest of smirks
just washing over the face of Vaquer.

205
00:10:28,745 --> 00:10:32,399
Certainly spells trouble for Jacy Jayne
and, potentially, Fallon Henley.

206
00:10:32,432 --> 00:10:34,767
[Vic] And when we talk about
that Women's North American Title,

207
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,387
who'll be champion
the next time NXT is on the road,

208
00:10:37,420 --> 00:10:41,107
Cincinnati, final Tuesday of February?
Backslide didn't work.

209
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:44,127
-Big knee right under the jaw!
-[Booker T] Yeah!

210
00:10:44,243 --> 00:10:46,613
[Vic] Vaquer rocked! Jayne into the cover!

211
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:50,533
-And Vaquer kicking out.
-[Booker T] What the hell?

212
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:53,420
[Corey] I don't know who looks
more shocked and surprised.

213
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:57,540
Is it Jacy Jayne? As we look, bam,
again at a vicious running knee.

214
00:10:57,574 --> 00:10:59,826
Fallon Henley,
just a few feet in front of us,

215
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:02,661
looks like she just saw a ghost
on that kick-out.

216
00:11:02,696 --> 00:11:07,000
-[crowd chanting] Stephanie! Stephanie!
-[Booker T] Don't waste any time, Jacy.

217
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:09,368
[Vic] Looking for that
Rolling Encore. Countered.

218
00:11:09,401 --> 00:11:12,572
DDT! Dropping Jayne.
Rolling right through.

219
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:14,307
Shoulders down! Cover!

220
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:19,279
Oh, and another near fall. I mean,
you gotta give credit when credit is due.

221
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:21,414
Jacy Jayne is bringing it tonight.

222
00:11:21,448 --> 00:11:24,384
[Booker T] Go back to Jacy Jayne's
in-ring prowess,

223
00:11:24,416 --> 00:11:29,089
her singles competition in-ring prowess.
Right now, she's doing a hell of a job.

224
00:11:29,122 --> 00:11:30,290
Oh, no!

225
00:11:30,323 --> 00:11:33,009
[Vic] …Jayne.
That's a nice call there, Graves.

226
00:11:33,043 --> 00:11:37,146
And there comes Vaquer with the feint kick
right between the eyes!

227
00:11:37,180 --> 00:11:40,400
-[Booker T] Big shot!
-[Corey] What's the area code in Chile?

228
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:41,434
[crowd cheering]

229
00:11:41,468 --> 00:11:44,871
[Vic] We'll have to look that one up
and get back to you next week.

230
00:11:44,904 --> 00:11:47,156
-Springboard high crossbody!
-[Booker T] Whoa!

231
00:11:47,189 --> 00:11:48,958
[Vic] Cover! Count! Hey!

232
00:11:48,992 --> 00:11:53,096
[Corey] Jazmyn Nyx
making her presence felt!

233
00:11:53,129 --> 00:11:54,747
[Vic] She didn't hit Vaquer.

234
00:11:54,781 --> 00:11:56,915
-She hit Jacy Jayne.
-[Corey] Uh-oh!

235
00:11:56,949 --> 00:12:01,820
[Vic] Referee's discretion. And there's
no discretion there from Vaquer,

236
00:12:01,855 --> 00:12:03,790
dropping Nyx.

237
00:12:03,823 --> 00:12:05,925
Superkick to Jayne!

238
00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:07,894
Following it up!

239
00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:09,679
Second time the charm,

240
00:12:09,713 --> 00:12:11,831
the SVB!

241
00:12:12,665 --> 00:12:14,934
And right in front of the champion,

242
00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:17,687
Jayne vanquished by Vaquer!

243
00:12:17,721 --> 00:12:19,372
["Bury Me" playing]

244
00:12:19,406 --> 00:12:25,377
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Stephanie Vaquer!

245
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:29,248
[Vic] Well, Fallon Henley
can stomp and romp all she wants.

246
00:12:29,281 --> 00:12:32,117
She didn't like
the ending here tonight, Graves.

247
00:12:32,151 --> 00:12:33,719
[Corey] Hoisting up Jacy Jayne,

248
00:12:33,752 --> 00:12:37,140
before driving her spine-first
across the knee.

249
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:40,593
Massive win,
as momentum continues to shift

250
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:44,781
in the favor of the challenger,
Stephanie Vaquer,

251
00:12:44,814 --> 00:12:47,434
who looks more than ready, beyond ready,

252
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:49,669
for a battle in our nation's capital.

253
00:12:49,703 --> 00:12:54,324
[Vic] A week from Saturday,
will Henley feel the vengeance of Vaquer?

254
00:12:57,677 --> 00:12:59,629
[indistinct chatter]

255
00:12:59,661 --> 00:13:01,814
-Congrats, ladies.
-Thank you.

256
00:13:01,848 --> 00:13:04,684
Hell of a main event last week,

257
00:13:04,718 --> 00:13:07,153
but you came up short.

258
00:13:07,187 --> 00:13:11,141
And, Lash, you came up short again
in the Royal Rumble.

259
00:13:11,174 --> 00:13:15,812
[sucks air] And, honestly,
I'm not surprised.

260
00:13:15,844 --> 00:13:19,064
[scoffs] I'm trying to figure out
who the hell you think you are.

261
00:13:19,149 --> 00:13:21,534
-She didn't really mean it. She was just--
-No, no, no! I did.

262
00:13:21,568 --> 00:13:24,137
Lash, you didn't eliminate anybody.

263
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:28,842
And you two had the opportunity
to bring the tag titles back to NXT.

264
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:32,629
[sucks air] And you dropped the ball
on that one, didn't ya?

265
00:13:32,661 --> 00:13:36,199
You know what, you got a lot to say
for someone who's sitting at home,

266
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:40,652
-on the couch, watching me.
-Umm, hi. Hi, everyone.

267
00:13:40,687 --> 00:13:43,272
Zaria, look, I know
you haven't been here very long,

268
00:13:43,339 --> 00:13:45,358
but it is way easier said than done

269
00:13:45,391 --> 00:13:48,178
to defeat two Superstars
like Bianca and Naomi.

270
00:13:48,261 --> 00:13:50,930
Yeah, maybe for you and your little group,

271
00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:51,930
but not for us.

272
00:13:51,964 --> 00:13:54,601
Um, Lash and Jakara stepped up.

273
00:13:54,634 --> 00:13:56,803
I'm still waiting for you to do the same.

274
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:59,723
Oh, yeah? Yeah?
You want to keep on talking?

275
00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:02,158
[indistinct shouting]

276
00:14:02,192 --> 00:14:04,828
-Yeah, get her.
-You know what…

277
00:14:04,861 --> 00:14:07,630
Y'all handle your beef
and we'll see the window…

278
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:11,501
[Corey] Well, Booker, it's your guy.

279
00:14:11,534 --> 00:14:15,704
The Heritage Cup champion Lexis King
graces us with his presence.

280
00:14:16,006 --> 00:14:17,674
Next on NXT.

281
00:14:22,962 --> 00:14:25,331
[crowd] Three, two, one.

282
00:14:26,182 --> 00:14:28,985
[Tessitore] Ladies and gentlemen,
for the third time in her career,

283
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:34,341
NXT Superstar Roxanne Perez
enters the Royal Rumble Match.

284
00:14:34,656 --> 00:14:37,727
She is the former NXT Women's Champion

285
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:40,313
and what a tremendous reign she had.

286
00:14:40,646 --> 00:14:42,949
[Barrett] What a performance
from Roxanne Perez.

287
00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:46,051
[Corey] Starting number three,
and last into the final two.

288
00:14:46,086 --> 00:14:48,655
Roxanne Perez
has lasted longer than any woman

289
00:14:48,755 --> 00:14:50,272
in the history of the Royal Rumble,

290
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:53,108
at one hour,
seven minutes and forty seven seconds.

291
00:14:53,526 --> 00:14:54,611
[bell dings]

292
00:15:00,132 --> 00:15:01,550
Excuse me, Oba Femi.

293
00:15:02,301 --> 00:15:05,939
Last week, Ava dropped a bombshell
that you'll be defending the NXT title

294
00:15:06,006 --> 00:15:08,308
in a Triple Threat Match
against Austin Theory

295
00:15:08,391 --> 00:15:10,276
and Grayson Waller at Vengeance Day.

296
00:15:10,810 --> 00:15:13,363
But tonight you face both men
in a tag team match.

297
00:15:14,197 --> 00:15:17,599
You see, Ava says that she runs
everything that happens here in NXT.

298
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:21,204
But what she doesn't know is that I run
everything that happens in the ring.

299
00:15:21,286 --> 00:15:24,858
So tonight, I'll show Grayson Waller
and Austin Theory

300
00:15:24,940 --> 00:15:27,127
that they don't belong
in the ring with me.

301
00:15:27,676 --> 00:15:30,163
But one more thing,
after last week's power bomb,

302
00:15:30,195 --> 00:15:32,649
do you feel like you owe Trick Williams,

303
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,985
-to be a better partner in the--
-I don't owe Trick a single thing.

304
00:15:36,836 --> 00:15:39,238
And as far as tonight,
I'll see him out there.

305
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:41,708
Thank you.

306
00:15:42,825 --> 00:15:46,045
Vic, tonight's main event
tag team match should be interesting.

307
00:15:46,695 --> 00:15:47,613
Back to you.

308
00:15:50,849 --> 00:15:53,502
[Rome] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

309
00:15:53,737 --> 00:16:00,443
the NXT Heritage Cup champion, Lexis King.

310
00:16:05,865 --> 00:16:09,252
Ladies and gentlemen,

311
00:16:10,252 --> 00:16:12,639
and intellectuals,

312
00:16:14,406 --> 00:16:17,426
your king has been crowned

313
00:16:17,761 --> 00:16:21,897
the NXT Heritage Cup Champion.

314
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:27,069
You know, I wanted to come out here.

315
00:16:27,853 --> 00:16:30,055
I wanted to be humble.

316
00:16:31,507 --> 00:16:37,180
But how can I be humbled when I'm on
a path to being the biggest star

317
00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:41,434
in the history of professional wrestling?

318
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:43,069
[crowd cheers]

319
00:16:44,637 --> 00:16:45,854
I couldn't do it alone, though.

320
00:16:45,939 --> 00:16:47,690
We got a lot of legends back there.

321
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:52,212
We got the LFG show going,
but one in particular,

322
00:16:52,295 --> 00:16:55,064
William Regal, he reached out to me.

323
00:16:55,147 --> 00:16:56,498
He tried to show me the light.

324
00:16:56,583 --> 00:16:59,234
He tried to show me who I truly am.

325
00:17:00,152 --> 00:17:01,670
And we had other names, too.

326
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:05,425
Poor Ryan Leaf.

327
00:17:07,042 --> 00:17:09,812
Ryan Leaf,
probably one of the biggest busts

328
00:17:09,928 --> 00:17:12,432
in the history of the NFL,

329
00:17:12,648 --> 00:17:15,568
came here to NXT to give me advice?

330
00:17:16,618 --> 00:17:18,204
It doesn't work like that, brother…

331
00:17:18,370 --> 00:17:21,523
-[Booker T] I agree with that.
-…'cause the king doesn't take advice.

332
00:17:24,476 --> 00:17:28,481
And I've never done well
with authority, no.

333
00:17:29,883 --> 00:17:35,088
You know, the king has always played
to the beat of his own drum.

334
00:17:35,672 --> 00:17:38,158
The king has always played
by his own rules.

335
00:17:38,808 --> 00:17:40,476
[yelling] Because why wouldn't I?

336
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:42,328
Look at me!

337
00:17:43,163 --> 00:17:47,417
I got the looks that kill
and the pedigree that will.

338
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:48,885
[crowd cheers]

339
00:17:48,918 --> 00:17:50,637
Yeah, that's right.

340
00:17:51,221 --> 00:17:52,605
What did you people think?

341
00:17:52,688 --> 00:17:55,258
You thought I was just gonna transform?

342
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,894
Like I was gonna change it up on you

343
00:17:57,927 --> 00:18:03,700
and become
some law-abiding submissive beta, huh?

344
00:18:04,967 --> 00:18:05,935
No.

345
00:18:06,302 --> 00:18:11,390
Because the king's blood
doesn't run with that of a normie.

346
00:18:12,408 --> 00:18:14,260
No, no, no. No.

347
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:16,529
See, I was born into this business.

348
00:18:17,797 --> 00:18:22,502
A second-generation talent,
the son of a psycho.

349
00:18:28,675 --> 00:18:30,143
But I never asked for this.

350
00:18:31,428 --> 00:18:32,495
No.

351
00:18:32,579 --> 00:18:36,832
In fact, I tried everything I could

352
00:18:37,550 --> 00:18:40,587
to be anything but my father

353
00:18:42,238 --> 00:18:45,207
You know, [stutters]
I didn't even know him.

354
00:18:46,609 --> 00:18:47,994
I didn't know who he was.

355
00:18:49,245 --> 00:18:53,399
But I know one thing,
is that he was a loose cannon

356
00:18:53,483 --> 00:18:56,186
and he would do anything to win.

357
00:19:03,426 --> 00:19:07,897
And it's such a shame. It's a shame
because he had so much potential

358
00:19:09,698 --> 00:19:12,168
but he just never quite
reached that potential.

359
00:19:13,436 --> 00:19:14,370
[sighs softly]

360
00:19:15,922 --> 00:19:19,309
But yet through all that,
through all the smoke and mirrors

361
00:19:19,392 --> 00:19:21,226
and the advice of all the legends.

362
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:25,598
I felt truly at my best
when I was just that

363
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:28,318
my father's son.

364
00:19:31,437 --> 00:19:32,772
'Cause that's what I am.

365
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:35,975
And you guys wanted me to change, huh?

366
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:38,194
You wanted me to be
something that I'm not?

367
00:19:38,928 --> 00:19:42,098
Well, I didn't and I never will
because I'm standing here,

368
00:19:42,182 --> 00:19:44,216
your NXT Heritage Cup Champion

369
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:46,870
because I stay true to who I am!

370
00:19:46,903 --> 00:19:48,638
[crowd cheers]

371
00:19:53,158 --> 00:19:56,178
And speaking of the truth, the truth is,

372
00:19:57,364 --> 00:19:59,081
that this championship,

373
00:20:01,501 --> 00:20:02,851
my sweet queen,

374
00:20:05,088 --> 00:20:06,456
she's been mistreated.

375
00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:11,293
She's been mistreated for far too long,
okay?

376
00:20:11,860 --> 00:20:13,079
And I know I'm going to offend…

377
00:20:13,163 --> 00:20:15,447
I'm going to offend
some of the purists out there.

378
00:20:17,399 --> 00:20:22,238
But for my first proclamation
as NXT Heritage Cup Champion,

379
00:20:22,605 --> 00:20:27,761
I am going to change the way
that this title will be defended.

380
00:20:29,579 --> 00:20:33,566
Gone are the days
of the meaningless rounds,

381
00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:37,053
gone are the days
of the ill-advised cornermen,

382
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:39,706
and the egregious time limits.

383
00:20:39,789 --> 00:20:40,807
No, no, no, no, no.

384
00:20:41,358 --> 00:20:45,145
From this day forward, the Heritage Cup

385
00:20:45,445 --> 00:20:49,366
will be one fall, winner take all.

386
00:20:49,899 --> 00:20:51,101
Because this is my--

387
00:20:51,134 --> 00:20:52,886
-["ChaChaLaLa" playing]
-[crowd cheers]

388
00:20:52,918 --> 00:20:53,870
[Corey] What?

389
00:20:55,088 --> 00:20:56,139
No way.

390
00:20:58,475 --> 00:21:00,543
Oh, my God, Vic, did you know about this?

391
00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:02,178
[Vic] I certainly did not.

392
00:21:02,262 --> 00:21:06,149
But I haven't seen you move like this
since your wedding reception.

393
00:21:07,567 --> 00:21:10,553
[Corey] The music has just
overtaken the arena, Vic.

394
00:21:11,303 --> 00:21:12,438
Who is that?

395
00:21:17,844 --> 00:21:21,531
Let me reintroduce myself.

396
00:21:24,851 --> 00:21:28,737
You see, I used to get real weird

397
00:21:28,822 --> 00:21:30,706
here in NXT.

398
00:21:32,826 --> 00:21:34,727
And that music right there,

399
00:21:34,811 --> 00:21:36,312
it means the world to me.

400
00:21:36,396 --> 00:21:37,597
Thank you, guys.

401
00:21:38,548 --> 00:21:39,549
Thank you.

402
00:21:41,184 --> 00:21:42,502
[crowd chanting] Welcome back!

403
00:21:44,020 --> 00:21:45,972
[Lexis] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

404
00:21:54,614 --> 00:21:55,948
[Lexis] Wait a minute.

405
00:21:56,032 --> 00:21:57,533
Wait a minute. I know who you are.

406
00:21:57,617 --> 00:21:59,552
It's starting to come to me.

407
00:22:00,887 --> 00:22:03,606
You used to run around playing dress up

408
00:22:03,689 --> 00:22:08,645
with Tyler Breeze, right?
Firefighters, policemen.

409
00:22:08,727 --> 00:22:10,463
Brother, this isn't the YMCA.

410
00:22:10,547 --> 00:22:11,898
This is NXT.

411
00:22:13,099 --> 00:22:14,918
[crowd chanting] Shut up, Lexis!

412
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:24,727
That's very clever and witty,
coming from a guy that looks like

413
00:22:24,811 --> 00:22:27,514
he had his face spray
painted on this morning.

414
00:22:27,597 --> 00:22:29,765
[crowd cheering]

415
00:22:32,202 --> 00:22:33,119
I look good.

416
00:22:35,205 --> 00:22:38,058
I look good.
It was a paintbrush. It's not a spray.

417
00:22:38,091 --> 00:22:41,878
The name is JDC,
and I'm here representing

418
00:22:41,961 --> 00:22:44,197
the system from TNA Wrestling

419
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:45,598
[crowd cheering]

420
00:22:49,686 --> 00:22:51,671
And the system is always looking

421
00:22:51,754 --> 00:22:54,274
for a little bit of gold
to add to our trophy case.

422
00:22:54,357 --> 00:22:55,274
And you know what?

423
00:22:55,908 --> 00:23:02,098
I wouldn't mind wrapping my lips
all over this cup and having a drink.

424
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:12,524
I know that you know that TNA and NXT
have a working agreement.

425
00:23:12,609 --> 00:23:14,360
What you don't know, Lexis,

426
00:23:15,128 --> 00:23:19,049
is I just spoke to your GM, Ava,
in the back and next week

427
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:21,801
for this Heritage Cup, look at me.

428
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:25,839
You versus me for the cup, next week.

429
00:23:25,871 --> 00:23:26,923
[crowd cheering]

430
00:23:28,891 --> 00:23:29,958
[Lexis] Oh, yeah?

431
00:23:29,993 --> 00:23:32,328
You want to take
a little sip from that cup?

432
00:23:32,412 --> 00:23:36,198
Yeah? You want a little taste
of greatness? I'll tell you what,

433
00:23:36,282 --> 00:23:41,437
JDC, I appreciate what you're doing
in the system and representing TNA.

434
00:23:41,521 --> 00:23:44,090
But, you know,
we've got a system over here.

435
00:23:44,741 --> 00:23:48,878
And as far as I know all
I know you as is Fandango.

436
00:23:48,962 --> 00:23:53,183
Wait, wait, wait. No. Fawn Dongo!

437
00:23:53,766 --> 00:23:54,967
[crowd jeering]

438
00:23:55,685 --> 00:23:58,071
So next week you'll get your match.

439
00:23:58,154 --> 00:24:02,391
It'll be you and me for the Heritage
Cup champion, and we're gonna dance.

440
00:24:05,812 --> 00:24:07,964
[Vic] Well, it seems
it's official, Graves.

441
00:24:08,048 --> 00:24:13,002
We got ourselves a Heritage Cup match
next week on NXT.

442
00:24:22,178 --> 00:24:25,698
[announcer] …and his opponent,
from … weighing 253 pounds…

443
00:24:25,732 --> 00:24:28,568
-[Corey] Look out!
-[Vic] Stacks wasting no time.

444
00:24:28,601 --> 00:24:31,021
Mike Rome couldn't even get
the ringing announcement out.

445
00:24:31,104 --> 00:24:33,656
Bell is wrong and this all
stems from that argument

446
00:24:33,689 --> 00:24:35,825
these two had last week in Atlanta.

447
00:24:35,859 --> 00:24:38,128
Don, I don't
necessarily liked the way Stacks

448
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,562
is starting this match-up,
but it is effective.

449
00:24:40,597 --> 00:24:41,865
Booker, do you feel that

450
00:24:41,898 --> 00:24:44,667
Stacks wasn't joking when he spoke
to the Don a few minutes ago?

451
00:24:44,751 --> 00:24:48,053
[Booker T] Let me say
this first. First man to throw a punch

452
00:24:48,138 --> 00:24:50,357
is the man that has run out of ideas.

453
00:24:50,439 --> 00:24:51,675
That's what I think right there.

454
00:24:51,758 --> 00:24:55,095
As far as what went down
between the Don and Stacks,

455
00:24:55,128 --> 00:24:58,814
the Don told Stacks, "it's time to step up
and do your job."

456
00:24:58,898 --> 00:25:03,687
[Vic] There is Shawn Spears, Niko Vance,
Brooks Jensen looking on from high above

457
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,189
as Stacks going right to work
on the body of Ridge Holland.

458
00:25:07,273 --> 00:25:10,377
Well, Stacks is someone you got a chance
to sit down with recently, Corey.

459
00:25:10,460 --> 00:25:13,362
[Corey] I spent some time with Stacks
back at center stage in Atlanta.

460
00:25:13,413 --> 00:25:18,150
I was extremely impressed. Very
cerebral young man, tremendous athlete.

461
00:25:18,234 --> 00:25:20,736
I think there's a very,
very high upside to Stacks.

462
00:25:20,770 --> 00:25:23,322
[Vic] Well, the family
is out here, ringside.

463
00:25:23,356 --> 00:25:26,259
-[Corey] Oh, no!
-[Vic] They're not gonna like

464
00:25:26,292 --> 00:25:28,178
-what they just witnessed.
-[Booker T] I love it.

465
00:25:28,261 --> 00:25:31,297
[Vic] Spine first into
the stairs goes Stacks

466
00:25:31,331 --> 00:25:34,951
and now Ridge Holland,
free to do as he please.

467
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:38,754
[Booker T] Can I say this? There's no
upside in being the Underboss. Is it?

468
00:25:38,788 --> 00:25:42,074
[Vic] Book, I'm gonna go on the record
and say I think Stacks

469
00:25:42,158 --> 00:25:44,277
is capable of far more
than just being The Underboss.

470
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:46,696
[Booker T] I think so as well.
It's exactly what I'm saying.

471
00:25:46,730 --> 00:25:48,630
[Vic] Last week he stood up
for Izzi in Atlanta.

472
00:25:48,665 --> 00:25:51,051
But Booker, I come to you
and say on that topic,

473
00:25:51,134 --> 00:25:53,352
you have to admit
that Ridge was out of line

474
00:25:53,436 --> 00:25:56,239
getting into the face
of Izzi Dame last week.

475
00:25:56,322 --> 00:25:59,775
[Booker T] Look here, man.
Action, there's always a reaction.

476
00:25:59,859 --> 00:26:01,327
I think that's what that was, Victor.

477
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,364
[Corey] I think Ridge is certainly
toeing the line, for sure.

478
00:26:04,447 --> 00:26:06,549
But you got to understand
Ridge Holland's frustration.

479
00:26:06,633 --> 00:26:08,083
If it weren't for Izzi Dame,

480
00:26:08,118 --> 00:26:10,887
Ridge, for all intents and purposes,
should be a champion right now.

481
00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:13,990
-[Booker T] That exactly my point!
-[Vic] No one's feeling sorry for Ridge.

482
00:26:14,024 --> 00:26:16,025
He brought any wrongdoing upon himself.

483
00:26:16,059 --> 00:26:18,977
[Corey] Nobody said anything
about feeling sorry for Ridge.

484
00:26:19,396 --> 00:26:20,764
[indistinct shouting]

485
00:26:21,313 --> 00:26:26,319
[Corey] I'm just saying you have
to understand the mentality

486
00:26:26,352 --> 00:26:27,620
of Ridge Holland.

487
00:26:28,071 --> 00:26:31,608
You've got to look out for number one.
No one's gonna look out for you.

488
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,976
[Vic] I wonder if that has to do
with Stacks as well.

489
00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:36,946
The Underboss. He's already talked about
trying to step up, Booker.

490
00:26:37,030 --> 00:26:40,833
And is it time for Stacks
to step up for The Family?

491
00:26:40,917 --> 00:26:43,770
[Booker T] Stacks Lorenzo has
all the talent in the world,

492
00:26:43,803 --> 00:26:46,639
but the one thing in this
business you can't be

493
00:26:46,723 --> 00:26:48,942
and that's a follow up,
right Gravey, right?

494
00:26:49,024 --> 00:26:51,660
[Corey] Yes, sir.
You've got to look out for number one.

495
00:26:51,745 --> 00:26:52,829
It's a selfish game.

496
00:26:52,861 --> 00:26:54,014
[all exclaiming]

497
00:26:54,481 --> 00:26:58,818
[Vic] Right across the … Stacks,
up and over! And he caught Holland.

498
00:26:58,901 --> 00:27:01,987
[Booker T] Beautiful shot there
by Stacks Lorenzo.

499
00:27:02,038 --> 00:27:04,524
[Vic] Holland right now is rocked.
I just peeked up from my monitor.

500
00:27:04,557 --> 00:27:06,309
Graves, I don't know if you
see the same thing,

501
00:27:06,393 --> 00:27:09,294
but look at the welts forming
on the back of Stacks right now

502
00:27:09,329 --> 00:27:12,631
as you see who's looking on
as this match-up continues.

503
00:27:13,249 --> 00:27:17,437
Stacks got caught and Holland's sending
in The Underboss for a ride.

504
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,205
[Booker T] I love this kid, Ridge Holland.

505
00:27:19,289 --> 00:27:22,225
You know what? And the thing is,
he just wanted to be recognized.

506
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:24,444
He was one half of the tag team champions.

507
00:27:24,526 --> 00:27:25,895
People knew who he was.

508
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:28,497
-He wants more of that, man.
-[Vic] Well, when he was champion,

509
00:27:28,581 --> 00:27:31,016
just because he was part of a family--

510
00:27:31,368 --> 00:27:34,137
Just shoving stacks to the feet of …

511
00:27:34,220 --> 00:27:37,189
as the Dime looking on.
Look at Luca.

512
00:27:38,091 --> 00:27:40,260
[Booker T] Back up, man, back up!

513
00:27:40,293 --> 00:27:42,829
[Vic] Ridge has destroyed friendships,
I wouldn't put it past him

514
00:27:42,912 --> 00:27:45,048
that he also wants to try
and destroy The Family.

515
00:27:45,130 --> 00:27:48,568
As Luca Crusifino.
Wait a minute, Izzi Dame!

516
00:27:48,650 --> 00:27:49,569
[Corey] Not again.

517
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:50,637
[indistinct shouting]

518
00:27:52,339 --> 00:27:55,140
[Vic] Holland, this time,
was on the lookout, was ready.

519
00:27:55,175 --> 00:27:57,127
From behind! Oh, my gosh, again!

520
00:27:58,528 --> 00:28:00,379
[Booker T] Not today, baby.

521
00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:01,447
[Vic] So, close!

522
00:28:02,014 --> 00:28:04,818
[Corey] That comeback lariat
rocked Stacks.

523
00:28:05,335 --> 00:28:07,187
And now it is

524
00:28:07,803 --> 00:28:14,593
Ridge Holland hitting the Redeemer
to put down the underboss.

525
00:28:14,627 --> 00:28:16,763
[bell dinging]

526
00:28:17,414 --> 00:28:23,403
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Ridge Holland.

527
00:28:23,436 --> 00:28:28,291
And we can all hear those silent glances.
What is actually going on?

528
00:28:31,077 --> 00:28:33,295
Hey champs, good to see you.

529
00:28:33,329 --> 00:28:36,198
We had a tag team match this week,
remember, Nemeth Brothers?

530
00:28:36,232 --> 00:28:40,870
-Yes.
-Boys, boys, I will give it to you.

531
00:28:40,904 --> 00:28:45,925
You've been having amazing matches
everywhere you go, NXT, TNA, you name it.

532
00:28:45,958 --> 00:28:50,964
But you're also smart, smart enough
to know that if you fought both of us,

533
00:28:50,996 --> 00:28:55,118
it would be a brutal one-sided ass
beating.

534
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:58,103
-Come on.
-Case in point, OTM.

535
00:28:58,138 --> 00:28:59,639
Where are they?

536
00:28:59,673 --> 00:29:02,658
They haven't been here since
we beat their asses.

537
00:29:02,692 --> 00:29:06,913
-So that's why you are dodging us.
-We're not dodging anyone, brother.

538
00:29:06,946 --> 00:29:09,215
We're literally defending
these titles this week.

539
00:29:09,249 --> 00:29:12,651
Mate, for two guys who want action,
literally all I've done is hear you talk.

540
00:29:12,686 --> 00:29:15,021
-Yeah.
-Now, once we go defend our titles at TNA

541
00:29:15,054 --> 00:29:17,756
against the Nemeth brothers,
why don't you two, I don't know,

542
00:29:17,791 --> 00:29:18,808
go find an opponent.

543
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:21,977
Go prove to us that you actually deserve
a shot at the tag team titles.

544
00:29:22,012 --> 00:29:25,031
And then, and only then, will we talk.

545
00:29:25,064 --> 00:29:26,666
-Let's get out of here.
-Let's go.

546
00:29:30,169 --> 00:29:31,521
[both] I got this.

547
00:29:33,606 --> 00:29:36,443
-[crowd cheering]
-["Chasing Surf" playing]

548
00:29:42,532 --> 00:29:46,052
We're set for some tag team action
right now.

549
00:29:47,169 --> 00:29:48,538
[rock music playing]

550
00:30:04,353 --> 00:30:05,472
[bell dinging]

551
00:30:05,504 --> 00:30:10,659
[announcer] The following contest is
a tag team match scheduled for one fall.

552
00:30:10,694 --> 00:30:11,727
Introducing first,

553
00:30:11,794 --> 00:30:17,984
the team of Sol Ruca and Zaria.

554
00:30:18,018 --> 00:30:21,404
It's an unusual pairing versus
an unusual duo.

555
00:30:21,437 --> 00:30:25,408
We got tag team action live next on NXT.

556
00:30:35,368 --> 00:30:37,870
And their opponents accompanied by

557
00:30:37,904 --> 00:30:43,793
Shotzi, Tatum Paxley, and Gigi Dolan.

558
00:30:44,694 --> 00:30:47,897
Well, with everything going on, Corey,
we know that Gigi,

559
00:30:47,930 --> 00:30:51,851
Tatum, and Shotzi,
they're never going to back down.

560
00:30:51,885 --> 00:30:53,102
Why would they back down?

561
00:30:53,136 --> 00:30:55,187
You were talking about three
wildly talented,

562
00:30:55,221 --> 00:30:59,542
if even eccentric superstars who have
bright, bright futures in WWE.

563
00:30:59,576 --> 00:31:02,012
And the same can be said on
the other side of the ring,

564
00:31:02,044 --> 00:31:05,281
as unusual as that pairing may be,
Zaria and Sol Ruca.

565
00:31:05,314 --> 00:31:08,101
Well, Booker, I already know where
Booker's gonna go with this.

566
00:31:08,134 --> 00:31:09,718
-I don't even know why I'm asking.
-No, no.

567
00:31:09,753 --> 00:31:13,372
-Wasn't Tatum just trying--
-Vic, to answer Corey's question.

568
00:31:13,406 --> 00:31:15,507
He didn't ask a question,
I asked a question.

569
00:31:15,542 --> 00:31:17,459
It's competition, man. It's competition.

570
00:31:17,494 --> 00:31:20,112
Just think about it that way, all right?
Don't try to put a spin on it.

571
00:31:20,146 --> 00:31:22,815
-Just think about it that way.
-What do you mean don't put a spin on it?

572
00:31:22,849 --> 00:31:25,985
We put a spin on everything.
You gotta look deeper than things.

573
00:31:26,019 --> 00:31:28,838
It is a quick kick out, Ruca back up
into a side headlock.

574
00:31:28,871 --> 00:31:31,591
What I was trying to get to you
with Booker was Tatum was just trying

575
00:31:31,624 --> 00:31:33,275
to give some friendly advice earlier.

576
00:31:33,309 --> 00:31:35,078
But again, I think I know where
you're gonna go.

577
00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:37,429
-Yeah, yeah.
-It's your own business, stay out of it.

578
00:31:37,464 --> 00:31:40,015
Exactly, mind your business,
concern yourself with business

579
00:31:40,050 --> 00:31:42,668
that concern you.
I've been saying that since day one.

580
00:31:42,702 --> 00:31:44,704
A little bit of a stalemate
between these two.

581
00:31:44,737 --> 00:31:47,706
Shotzi, of course, right out here
in front of us.

582
00:31:47,741 --> 00:31:49,743
And, Corey, I wanna talk about Shotzi
for a moment,

583
00:31:49,775 --> 00:31:53,329
'cause she certainly has to be feeling
the sting of the last moment.

584
00:31:53,362 --> 00:31:56,065
Certainly a rough week
for Shotzi coming up short in Atlanta

585
00:31:56,099 --> 00:31:57,951
and her attempt to become
North American champion.

586
00:31:57,984 --> 00:32:00,937
But it's all about what she does tonight.
It's all about putting the past

587
00:32:00,969 --> 00:32:04,724
behind her moving forward as part
of this very dangerous trio.

588
00:32:04,757 --> 00:32:07,327
But let's talk about Sol Ruca
for a second, Book.

589
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,813
A tag was made, Gigi is legal,
Sol didn't realize it,

590
00:32:10,847 --> 00:32:14,367
she certainly does now. Zaria makes a tag,
she is now legal.

591
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:20,490
This is my first look in person at Zaria,
a very, very, ooh, physical superstar.

592
00:32:20,523 --> 00:32:26,396
She is a powerful one at that, and right
now just overtaking, overpowering Gigi.

593
00:32:26,428 --> 00:32:28,348
She's a powerhouse, and the thing is,

594
00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:31,751
Zaria and Sol Ruca, they have a chance
to gel a little bit.

595
00:32:31,784 --> 00:32:33,870
It's about being comfortable
with each other.

596
00:32:33,903 --> 00:32:35,371
It's about having that playbook.

597
00:32:35,405 --> 00:32:37,674
-[all exclaiming]
-Yes, man.

598
00:32:37,706 --> 00:32:40,526
We're gonna see exactly how
you can think of that, man.

599
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,347
-Do it.
-My Lord, that was unbelievable.

600
00:32:44,380 --> 00:32:47,167
Zaria, like I said,
she's a powerhouse, man.

601
00:32:47,199 --> 00:32:50,270
-I'm still stunned by--
-Gigi Dolan in the next week,

602
00:32:50,303 --> 00:32:53,872
tag made, Zaria, Zaria now
making her way to the top.

603
00:32:53,907 --> 00:32:56,109
Nice counter by Gigi Dolan for a moment.

604
00:32:56,141 --> 00:33:00,879
Zaria doing her partner no favors
right now, nice drop kick, tag was made.

605
00:33:00,914 --> 00:33:03,933
Paxley's in and again,
the confrontation earlier

606
00:33:03,966 --> 00:33:06,852
in the locker room led to
this tag team encounter.

607
00:33:06,886 --> 00:33:10,689
Into the cover, hook the leg
for Paxley's soul, able to kick out.

608
00:33:10,724 --> 00:33:15,211
And now, Tatum right on top,
she is as unique as they come.

609
00:33:15,245 --> 00:33:17,230
And right now on top is Sol Ruca.

610
00:33:17,263 --> 00:33:23,002
And she calls this the Spider Insider
as she's trying to get Sol Ruca to tap.

611
00:33:23,035 --> 00:33:25,187
I don't know that I've ever seen a move
like that before.

612
00:33:25,221 --> 00:33:27,474
-Very impressive.
-Think about the mind

613
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:28,574
that it's coming from.

614
00:33:28,608 --> 00:33:32,411
If she's able to do this, what's being
conjured up right now between these two?

615
00:33:32,445 --> 00:33:34,481
Beyond that, just the power required.

616
00:33:34,514 --> 00:33:37,050
to do that to your opponent
like Tatum Paxley

617
00:33:37,082 --> 00:33:40,169
-just did beautiful butterfly suplex.
-Tag.

618
00:33:40,203 --> 00:33:42,072
Gigi Dolan coming in
and really showing you

619
00:33:42,105 --> 00:33:45,158
the depth of the women's division
here in NXT.

620
00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:49,361
-Up over Gigi, right down into Sol Ruca.
-There we go.

621
00:33:49,396 --> 00:33:52,782
Cover, the count, and Ruca.
Just able to kick out.

622
00:33:52,815 --> 00:33:55,401
If Tatum and Gigi can get on
the same page here tonight, Vic,

623
00:33:55,435 --> 00:33:57,070
this would be a huge victory.

624
00:33:57,870 --> 00:34:00,622
And Booker, we've seen Soul and Zaria
team in the past,

625
00:34:00,657 --> 00:34:02,992
just something wasn't clicking
and they don't even seem to be on

626
00:34:03,025 --> 00:34:04,410
the same page right now here tonight.

627
00:34:04,444 --> 00:34:06,228
No, but that was just the first time
we saw them,

628
00:34:06,262 --> 00:34:08,964
but tonight it's a little bit different.
They've had a little bit of time

629
00:34:08,998 --> 00:34:10,750
to get in there and work together
a little bit.

630
00:34:10,784 --> 00:34:14,337
Saw earlier tonight they don't exactly
share the same thought process,

631
00:34:14,371 --> 00:34:17,891
but right now Zaria's in
and she is changing the game.

632
00:34:17,924 --> 00:34:22,127
Big pump kick to Paxley.
Dolan just caught one as well.

633
00:34:22,161 --> 00:34:25,581
And Zaria turning around just trying
to hit anything that moves.

634
00:34:25,614 --> 00:34:29,002
-Big German suplex.
-[all exclaiming]

635
00:34:29,034 --> 00:34:32,755
Both these teams trying to carry momentum
past Vengeance Day,

636
00:34:32,788 --> 00:34:35,607
-which is a week from Saturday.
-Oh, God, man.

637
00:34:35,641 --> 00:34:40,663
Into the cover, off the spear,
and Dolan saved by Paxley.

638
00:34:40,697 --> 00:34:43,315
She almost got speared
into Cincinnati the next time

639
00:34:43,350 --> 00:34:45,567
we're on the road, Tuesday,
February the 25th.

640
00:34:45,601 --> 00:34:50,223
But now they're in sync for a moment
at Paxley and Gigi.

641
00:34:50,255 --> 00:34:53,092
Turning things around,
double step up enzuigiris.

642
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,712
I'll tell you, Paxley was there
at the right time.

643
00:34:55,745 --> 00:34:58,498
Right place to make that save, man.

644
00:34:59,933 --> 00:35:01,951
Things starting to break down
a little bit.

645
00:35:01,985 --> 00:35:05,872
Again, there's the power game.
And again, first glance at Zaria,

646
00:35:05,904 --> 00:35:07,057
she's quite impressive.

647
00:35:07,089 --> 00:35:09,526
[Corey] Keep your eyes on Tatum Paxley
from the second turnbuckle.

648
00:35:09,576 --> 00:35:10,960
Just got caught.

649
00:35:10,993 --> 00:35:12,028
[Vic] My God.

650
00:35:12,062 --> 00:35:14,279
[Booker T]
Supernatural strength right there.

651
00:35:14,314 --> 00:35:16,249
[Corey] And it just got dropped.

652
00:35:16,281 --> 00:35:17,851
Ruca is legal.

653
00:35:17,884 --> 00:35:20,153
[Booker T] Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

654
00:35:20,203 --> 00:35:24,040
[Corey] And Ruca,
smashing the soul of Gigi Dolin.

655
00:35:24,708 --> 00:35:25,942
[bell dings]

656
00:35:26,026 --> 00:35:27,694

to take on A-Town Down Under.

Now, I spoke to Oba earlier tonight

679
00:36:51,294 --> 00:36:54,247
but have the two of you had the chance
to talk after what happened last week?

680
00:36:54,279 --> 00:36:56,182
Look, I ain't seen Oba all day.

681
00:36:56,216 --> 00:36:58,868
But it's cool. We don't need to talk
no game plan or no strategy.

682
00:36:58,902 --> 00:37:00,053
The plan is simple.

683

got the title match at Vengeance Day.

Not no Waller, not no Theory.

Matter of fact,
I'm sick and tired of both of them

686

until they hit the ring.

I totally get it

00:40:11,661 --> 00:40:14,064
because after the Rumble,
I feel it too.

00:40:15,498 --> 00:40:20,203
I want more,
I want all of the titles.

731

Because younger me has dreamt of
all of this and now I am making it happen.

of the greatest women's
division in the world.

828
00:46:42,102 --> 00:46:44,054
[crowd cheers and applauds]

829
00:46:45,522 --> 00:46:46,673
But guess what?

830
00:46:47,656 --> 00:46:50,442
I'm better!

831
00:46:55,330 --> 00:46:58,151
No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.
I'm not done. I'm not done.

832
00:46:59,234 --> 00:47:00,437
Bayley…

833
00:47:00,953 --> 00:47:03,957
Bayley, I feel like it's a moment
for all of us to do this.

834
00:47:06,259 --> 00:47:10,397
So, Giulia, you asked Bayley
whatever title I select

835
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,533
to face at Wrestlemania,
I will be walking out the champion.

836
00:47:16,136 --> 00:47:17,871
Whoo!

837
00:47:20,573 --> 00:47:23,792
[Vic] Statement made by the queen.

838
00:47:24,444 --> 00:47:26,062
-[Corey] Oh, wait a minute!
-[Vic] Oh!

839
00:47:26,096 --> 00:47:28,848
-[Booker T] Cora Jade.
-[Vic] Talk about statements, Graves!

840
00:47:29,833 --> 00:47:33,703
One being made by Cora Jade.

841
00:47:35,754 --> 00:47:39,292
[Corey] Roxanne Perez,
Cora's longtime friend begging for mercy.

842
00:47:39,325 --> 00:47:40,442
Whoa!

843
00:47:42,511 --> 00:47:44,698
Cora Jade not messing around.

844
00:47:44,731 --> 00:47:47,466
[Vic] Cora just trying to take
Roxie's head clean off.

845
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:52,372
Roxanne Perez just said
when it came to Cora Jade,

846
00:47:53,038 --> 00:47:57,560
with the queen looking on, has Cora Jade

847
00:47:58,377 --> 00:48:00,346
just called her shot.

848
00:48:01,897 --> 00:48:03,400
[Corey] Do you think it's possible…

849
00:48:03,433 --> 00:48:05,250
-Oh!
-[Booker T] Oh, man!

850
00:48:05,285 --> 00:48:08,672
…this women division has given the queen
herself second thoughts?

851
00:48:14,077 --> 00:48:15,328
I told you, guys.

852
00:48:15,362 --> 00:48:17,931
We are just talking. Okay? That's it.

853
00:48:17,964 --> 00:48:21,685
Oh, Ava, don't worry.
I will personally be on my best behavior.

854
00:48:21,718 --> 00:48:22,669
Oh, we know.

855
00:48:22,702 --> 00:48:25,288
The only reason I haven't
cracked you in the jaw yet, Je'Von,

856
00:48:25,321 --> 00:48:28,758
is because I made a promise
to the final, boss.

857
00:48:28,792 --> 00:48:31,711
Je'Von, listen. Last week
was the second time in a row

858
00:48:31,795 --> 00:48:34,814
you went out there, messed with security,
messed with the refs,

859
00:48:34,897 --> 00:48:37,384
when you're not cleared
to be anywhere near the ring.

860
00:48:37,417 --> 00:48:38,250
All right, yo.

861
00:48:38,283 --> 00:48:41,571
So you left me no choice
but to suspend you.

862
00:48:42,471 --> 00:48:43,890
Suspend? What do you mean suspend me?

863
00:48:43,923 --> 00:48:45,208
Because you didn't-- Listen to me.

864
00:48:45,241 --> 00:48:46,743
-I told you--
-Ava…

865
00:48:46,776 --> 00:48:50,997
Boss. Boss, personally,
I wouldn't suspend Je'Von.

866
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,949
I would punish Je'Von.

867
00:48:52,982 --> 00:48:56,519
And you can punish Je'Von
by putting him in a match with me.

868
00:48:57,170 --> 00:48:58,304
Oh, say, let's.

869
00:48:58,337 --> 00:49:00,173
I think that solves
all of our problems, right?

870
00:49:00,205 --> 00:49:01,040
That's not a bad idea.

871
00:49:01,141 --> 00:49:03,993
And you guys can have
each other at Vengeance Day.

872
00:49:04,027 --> 00:49:05,295
-But if…
-You heard that?

873
00:49:05,328 --> 00:49:07,364
-…and only if…
-[mumbles]

874
00:49:07,397 --> 00:49:08,781
…you get medically cleared.

875
00:49:10,650 --> 00:49:12,519
All right. That's not bad.

876
00:49:12,551 --> 00:49:15,355
-You got some work to do.
-You're lucky I'm even considering this.

877
00:49:15,388 --> 00:49:17,357
-Please…
-Go, both of you.

878
00:49:17,390 --> 00:49:18,892
Please get cleared.

879
00:49:20,910 --> 00:49:23,846
Tensions continuing to rise

880
00:49:23,879 --> 00:49:26,549
as we get closer to Vengeance Day.

881
00:49:28,118 --> 00:49:29,051
[bell rings]

882
00:49:29,118 --> 00:49:32,638
[ring announcer] This match
scheduled for one fall.

883
00:49:33,156 --> 00:49:36,393
Introducing first,
from Boynton Beach, Florida

884
00:49:36,426 --> 00:49:40,145
Kelani Jordan!

885
00:49:43,232 --> 00:49:45,384
[Vic] Jordan going
one-on-one with Petrovic.

886
00:49:45,417 --> 00:49:47,971
It's live, it's next on NXT.

887
00:49:54,277 --> 00:49:56,779
I need a match up next week.
What do you say?

888
00:49:56,812 --> 00:50:00,750
You're saying Big Briggs and Big Yoshiki
versus the Belly Boys of NXT ?

889
00:50:00,783 --> 00:50:02,868
-Sure.
-Yeah, you've got a match, brother.

890
00:50:02,902 --> 00:50:04,404
-Yeah, see you next week, bro.
-Let's go.

891
00:50:04,437 --> 00:50:06,906
All right. Come on, man. Opportunity!

892
00:50:11,176 --> 00:50:12,429
You coming back for more?

893
00:50:12,462 --> 00:50:15,298
Hey, hey, hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, easy, easy.

894
00:50:15,365 --> 00:50:18,585
Tony, I saw the look
on your face out there.

895
00:50:18,618 --> 00:50:22,154
you know if I can get
a true one-on-one match,

896
00:50:22,187 --> 00:50:24,758
I will get the North American title.

897
00:50:24,790 --> 00:50:25,991
A true one-on-one match?

898
00:50:26,026 --> 00:50:27,644
Ridge, two weeks ago--

899
00:50:27,676 --> 00:50:29,696
Two weeks ago, was a joke

900
00:50:29,729 --> 00:50:32,048
and your friend here cost me the match.

901
00:50:32,082 --> 00:50:33,415
Not my friend.

902
00:50:33,450 --> 00:50:36,569
You've got people watching your every move

903
00:50:36,603 --> 00:50:40,106
and I don't trust anybody here.

904
00:50:40,140 --> 00:50:41,641
Well… I mean, I don't know.

905
00:50:41,674 --> 00:50:44,527
Why don't you guys
just settle this in a cage match?

906
00:50:45,211 --> 00:50:47,430
-Just a thought.
-Sounds good to me.

907
00:50:48,848 --> 00:50:50,966
Okay, cage match… What does it matter?

908
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,752
I don't need my family to beat you.

909
00:51:00,359 --> 00:51:05,281
[ring announcer] And her opponent,
Karmen Petrovic!

910
00:51:05,315 --> 00:51:08,451
[Vic] I don't know about you guys but that
cage match is one hell of an idea.

911
00:51:08,484 --> 00:51:11,237
A busy day, as we're
set for one-on-one action.

912
00:51:11,270 --> 00:51:14,274
Kelani Jordan,
she wanted this, she got this.

913
00:51:14,307 --> 00:51:16,259
Taking on Karmen Petrovic and, you know,

914
00:51:16,292 --> 00:51:18,361
Graves, should Karmen be listening

915
00:51:18,395 --> 00:51:20,696
to others that have been
trying to warn her about Ashante?

916
00:51:20,730 --> 00:51:24,334
[Corey] Absolutely not. Until Karmen
experiences something negative,

917
00:51:24,366 --> 00:51:26,870
all you can… You can't rely
on the words of others.

918
00:51:26,903 --> 00:51:30,890
[Booker T] Come on, man.
You don't mix business with pleasure.

919
00:51:30,924 --> 00:51:33,225
No fraternizing on the job.

920
00:51:33,259 --> 00:51:35,694
You gotta stay focused, man.
You know that.

921
00:51:35,729 --> 00:51:37,163
[Corey] You and I both.

922
00:51:37,196 --> 00:51:40,850
[Vic] Well, I will say this,
going into the cover, hook of the leg.

923
00:51:40,884 --> 00:51:43,269
[Corey] I was gonna…

924
00:51:43,303 --> 00:51:47,473
I will say, Karmen has certainly
domesticated the dog inside Ashante

925
00:51:47,507 --> 00:51:49,926
as she is set here
to take on Kelani Jordan,

926
00:51:49,959 --> 00:51:52,846
but, Booker do you feel bad for Karmen

927
00:51:52,879 --> 00:51:54,798
as she's been warned by so many?

928
00:51:54,830 --> 00:51:56,883
Nah. I mean, sometimes you gotta,

929
00:51:56,915 --> 00:52:00,553
you know, gotta make your own mistakes
in this business.

930
00:52:00,587 --> 00:52:01,770
in order to learn.

931
00:52:01,805 --> 00:52:05,258
So, on-the-job training, man.
On-the-job training.

932
00:52:05,290 --> 00:52:07,377
Oh, nice strike,
following up with another,

933
00:52:07,410 --> 00:52:12,048
and who will be victorious next time
at NXT, live at a city near you.

934
00:52:15,835 --> 00:52:18,221
Nice takedown by Petrovic.

935
00:52:18,254 --> 00:52:21,223
who's charging right into
another precision strike.

936
00:52:21,257 --> 00:52:23,192
Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and a near fall.

937
00:52:23,225 --> 00:52:26,546
Petrovic has won four
of her last five matches.

938
00:52:26,578 --> 00:52:29,516
Looking to continue her winning ways here.

939
00:52:29,549 --> 00:52:32,585
[Corey] This just shows the maturity
of Karmen Petrovic as a competitor.

940
00:52:32,618 --> 00:52:34,303
She hit all of her strikes
right on the money.

941
00:52:34,337 --> 00:52:37,007
She wants to get the job done,
so let's slow down the pace.

942
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,609
Let's grab ahold,
let's wear Kelani Jordan down.

943
00:52:41,461 --> 00:52:43,462
-Oh!
-[Booker T] Goes to my point.

944
00:52:43,962 --> 00:52:45,949
Karmen Petrovic is just staying focused.

945
00:52:45,982 --> 00:52:49,202
She could be in that same position
as Kelani Jordan.

946
00:52:49,234 --> 00:52:52,906
Form… Former NXT North American Champion.

947
00:52:53,673 --> 00:52:58,078
[Vic] That just goes back to how deep
the women's division is here in NXT.

948
00:52:58,111 --> 00:53:00,062
Nice bulldog.
Another cover, another countdown.

949
00:53:00,096 --> 00:53:02,182
-[Booker T] Beautiful shot.
-[Vic] Near fall.

950
00:53:02,214 --> 00:53:03,399
You know, Karmen Petrovic,

951
00:53:04,033 --> 00:53:06,152
as Corey put, showing that maturity.

952
00:53:06,185 --> 00:53:07,854
Showing that evolution so to speak,

953
00:53:07,886 --> 00:53:11,441
But this new attitude from
her opponent tonight Kelani Jordan

954
00:53:11,473 --> 00:53:12,841
as Ashante's looking on,

955
00:53:12,875 --> 00:53:15,245
are we witnessing
the elevation of a standout?

956
00:53:15,278 --> 00:53:18,314
[Booker T] Kelani Jordan…
She has all the right things.

957
00:53:18,348 --> 00:53:19,799
She's been making all the right moves

958
00:53:19,832 --> 00:53:23,185
She's a… What I call a star in this.

959
00:53:23,219 --> 00:53:25,337
She's got more ways to go.

960
00:53:25,372 --> 00:53:27,874
Here we go!
Dude, I've seen that move before.

961
00:53:27,906 --> 00:53:29,325
I've seen that move.

962
00:53:29,359 --> 00:53:32,261
[Vic] The Standout charging right in

963
00:53:32,295 --> 00:53:34,481
and taking down with an arm drag Petrovic.

964
00:53:34,513 --> 00:53:36,633
Nice dropkick following up as well.

965
00:53:36,665 --> 00:53:38,952
-Ashante right now…
-[Booker T] Didn't get all of it though.

966
00:53:38,984 --> 00:53:42,471
[Vic] …not liking what he's seeing
as Kelani charged in.

967
00:53:42,504 --> 00:53:44,107
No one home, blocks the fist,

968
00:53:44,140 --> 00:53:46,910
coming right back in with a nasty,
gnarly kick.

969
00:53:46,942 --> 00:53:47,777
Drop it.

970
00:53:48,228 --> 00:53:49,062
Petrovic…

971
00:53:50,562 --> 00:53:52,165
-and Kelani.
-[Booker T] Here we go!

972
00:53:52,198 --> 00:53:53,933
[all exclaim]

973
00:53:54,451 --> 00:53:56,819
-[Vic] Ashante's an innocent bystander.
-[Booker T] The hell?

974
00:53:56,853 --> 00:53:58,754
[Vic] That clearly,
was not the intention, but…

975
00:53:58,788 --> 00:53:59,939
Who's that?

976
00:53:59,973 --> 00:54:02,042
-[laughter and cheers]
-[Vic] You know who it is.

977
00:54:02,075 --> 00:54:03,942
That's Ms. Parker.

978
00:54:06,863 --> 00:54:08,365
Jaida Parker is here.

979
00:54:08,397 --> 00:54:09,816
Kelani distracted.

980
00:54:09,848 --> 00:54:11,801
Petrovic looking to make her pay!

981
00:54:11,835 --> 00:54:14,037
Flying through.

982
00:54:14,069 --> 00:54:17,507
Like a cruise missile
taking out Kelani on the outside,

983
00:54:18,008 --> 00:54:19,692
Things are beginning
to look up for Petrovic.

984
00:54:19,725 --> 00:54:23,980
Both these women trying to stand out
in a crowded division

985
00:54:24,013 --> 00:54:26,199
Here in NXT there's one way to do that.

986
00:54:26,232 --> 00:54:27,433
Pick up some victories.

987
00:54:27,466 --> 00:54:30,703
A little assist on the DDT for Petrovic.

988
00:54:30,736 --> 00:54:33,473
Into the cover, hook to the leg.
Another near fall.

989
00:54:33,506 --> 00:54:37,711
Which one of these two women
will stand tall here live on in NXT.

990
00:54:43,116 --> 00:54:46,051
[Vic] Continuing here in this matchup
between Karmen Petrovic

991
00:54:46,803 --> 00:54:48,288
and Kelani Jordan.

992
00:54:48,321 --> 00:54:49,839
What a matchup it's been.

993
00:54:49,873 --> 00:54:53,393
Jaida Parker who was
in the Royal Rumble this past weekend,

994
00:54:53,426 --> 00:54:55,611
joining us, well, somewhat ringside

995
00:54:55,645 --> 00:54:58,064
standing in front of us, on commentary.

996
00:54:58,098 --> 00:55:00,716
to much the enjoyment
of my two broadcast partners.

997
00:55:00,750 --> 00:55:02,801
-[Booker T] Yeah!
-[Vic] They're calling me a snitch

998
00:55:02,836 --> 00:55:03,953
for the last few minutes.

999
00:55:03,986 --> 00:55:06,006
[Corey] Corey Graves, Booker T
and Snitch Joseph.

1000
00:55:06,038 --> 00:55:08,258
[Jaida] Exactly. It has a ring to it,
I like that.

1001
00:55:08,290 --> 00:55:09,776
-[Vic] Ohh!
-[all exclaim]

1002
00:55:09,808 --> 00:55:11,995
-[Jaida] What is that?
-[Booker T] That was beautiful.

1003
00:55:12,028 --> 00:55:14,413
Petrovic might be hearing
the ringing of bells right now,

1004
00:55:14,446 --> 00:55:16,966
because The Standout is in control.

1005
00:55:18,350 --> 00:55:22,221
Kelani Jordan. One thing about her,
she's got more than one gear, Vic.

1006
00:55:22,254 --> 00:55:23,673
She knows how to turn it on.

1007
00:55:23,707 --> 00:55:25,107
-Here we go!
-[Vic] Oh!

1008
00:55:25,141 --> 00:55:26,792
She's cranking it up right now.

1009
00:55:26,826 --> 00:55:29,879
Another cover another hook of the leg

1010
00:55:29,913 --> 00:55:31,798
and another near fall.

1011
00:55:33,783 --> 00:55:36,336
Jaida Parker turned some heads
at the Royal Rumble.

1012
00:55:36,368 --> 00:55:37,636
[Booker T] Damn right, she did.

1013
00:55:37,670 --> 00:55:39,004
[Vic] So deep.

1014
00:55:39,038 --> 00:55:41,691
Jaida Parker ready to make
the statement this year

1015
00:55:41,725 --> 00:55:44,644
but also these two women
looking to make the statement as well.

1016
00:55:44,678 --> 00:55:46,546
[Corey] Vic, why are you talking
about Ms. Parker

1017
00:55:46,578 --> 00:55:48,330
like she's not right here
on headset with you?

1018
00:55:48,365 --> 00:55:50,834
-She can hear what you're saying.
-[Booker T] She's right here.

1019
00:55:50,866 --> 00:55:54,069
She doesn't listen to me
when I talk anyway, so it won't matter.

1020
00:55:54,104 --> 00:55:57,123
-She doesn't care what I have to say.
-[Jaida] 'Cause you be snitching.

1021
00:55:57,156 --> 00:56:00,743
[Vic] See I just proved my point.
That's why I'm saying things.

1022
00:56:00,777 --> 00:56:02,761
Head charges back into the form

1023
00:56:02,796 --> 00:56:05,231
and now it is Petrovic
starting to pick up momentum.

1024
00:56:05,265 --> 00:56:07,701
[Booker T] This is a hell of a contest
right here, guys.

1025
00:56:07,734 --> 00:56:08,868
[Corey] No doubt about it.

1026
00:56:08,902 --> 00:56:12,305
Petrovic flexing
her amazing striking abilities

1027
00:56:12,339 --> 00:56:14,040
at the expense of Kelani Jordan,

1028
00:56:14,074 --> 00:56:15,508
who needs to find a rally soon.

1029
00:56:15,542 --> 00:56:19,029
[Vic] The Shing-Shing-Squad's
starting to rise here tonight

1030
00:56:19,062 --> 00:56:21,214
with the Ashante "Thee" Adonis
on the outside.

1031
00:56:21,247 --> 00:56:24,884
More of those kicks…
big kicks to the side of the face.

1032
00:56:24,917 --> 00:56:27,787
Petrovic taking down The Standout.

1033
00:56:27,821 --> 00:56:30,973
Is this gonna be enough
to put this match-up away?

1034
00:56:31,007 --> 00:56:34,176
And, of course, it was Petrovic
who's had issues with Jaida Parker,

1035
00:56:34,210 --> 00:56:35,795
who was ringside with us tonight.

1036
00:56:35,828 --> 00:56:39,315
Doesn't seem to be bothered
by Jaida out here thus far.

1037
00:56:39,348 --> 00:56:41,835
-[Jaida] Issues?
-[Corey] Do you have issues with Karmen,

1038
00:56:41,868 --> 00:56:42,986
or is this like a one-sided?

1039
00:56:43,019 --> 00:56:44,636
[Jaida] No, it's one-sided,
most definitely.

1040
00:56:44,671 --> 00:56:46,156
She came up in my business.

1041
00:56:46,189 --> 00:56:48,341
[Vic] She did defeat you a few weeks ago
here on NXT.

1042
00:56:48,375 --> 00:56:49,225
[Jaida] Oh, did she?

1043
00:56:49,259 --> 00:56:50,910
[Booker T] Why you got to bring up
old stuff?

1044
00:56:50,944 --> 00:56:52,212
Why you got to bring up old stuff?

1045
00:56:52,245 --> 00:56:55,397
[Corey] Look at this!
Jordan launched halfway across the ring!

1046
00:56:55,982 --> 00:56:58,018
-Cover!
-[Vic] Into the cover, hook of the leg…

1047
00:56:58,051 --> 00:56:59,819
-[Booker T] Whoa!
-[Vic] …and another near fall.

1048
00:57:00,687 --> 00:57:02,555
[Corey] You can see the frustration
on the face

1049
00:57:02,589 --> 00:57:05,024
of Karmen Petrovic,
who's asking herself,

1050
00:57:05,058 --> 00:57:07,676
"What can I possibly do
to finish the job?"

1051
00:57:07,711 --> 00:57:09,245
[Booker T] She's letting it all hang out,

1052
00:57:09,279 --> 00:57:11,798
letting her karate background
come into play right here.

1053
00:57:11,830 --> 00:57:14,500
But right now, what's she…
what she's working on right here?

1054
00:57:14,533 --> 00:57:16,286
[Vic] Looking for that DDT one more time.

1055
00:57:16,319 --> 00:57:18,605
Jordan, though,
able to counter for a moment.

1056
00:57:18,638 --> 00:57:21,841
-[Booker T] Whoa!
-[Vic] Nice suplex with a bridge.

1057
00:57:21,875 --> 00:57:24,644
-[Booker T] That… Whoa!
-[Vic] And a near fall.

1058
00:57:25,127 --> 00:57:28,048
And Jordan rolling right back through,
maybe looking for a submission.

1059
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:28,982
Front face lock.

1060
00:57:29,015 --> 00:57:30,783
Take another look
at this beautiful bridge,

1061
00:57:30,817 --> 00:57:31,785
couldn't get the job done.

1062
00:57:31,817 --> 00:57:33,252
Petrovic from behind,
shoulders down,

1063
00:57:33,286 --> 00:57:35,422
another near fall in this match-up.

1064
00:57:35,455 --> 00:57:37,574
And you talk about the internal change.

1065
00:57:37,607 --> 00:57:40,460
Is it necessary for Jordan
in her career right now,

1066
00:57:40,493 --> 00:57:41,711
this more aggressive style?

1067
00:57:41,745 --> 00:57:43,897
[Corey] Absolutely.
To survive here in WWE,

1068
00:57:43,930 --> 00:57:44,763
especially right now,

1069
00:57:44,798 --> 00:57:47,116
when the women's division
is full of great white sharks,

1070
00:57:47,149 --> 00:57:48,618
you have to up your aggression.

1071
00:57:48,651 --> 00:57:50,736
-You have to--
-[all exclaiming] Whoa!

1072
00:57:50,770 --> 00:57:53,807
[Corey] Fantastic Slam by Jordan!

1073
00:57:53,839 --> 00:57:56,158
[Vic] An Angle slam with a twist.

1074
00:57:56,192 --> 00:57:57,761
And I don't know if you guys noticed,

1075
00:57:58,444 --> 00:58:00,879
but Jordan is peeking over here
to Kelani.

1076
00:58:00,913 --> 00:58:03,066
Looking for…
Excuse me, Kelani looking at Jaida.

1077
00:58:03,098 --> 00:58:06,618
Hit that split-legged,
one of a kind moonsault.

1078
00:58:08,620 --> 00:58:11,140
[Corey] Don't take your eyes
off the prize, Kelani.

1079
00:58:11,174 --> 00:58:12,558
[Vic] A second time!

1080
00:58:13,225 --> 00:58:15,861
-[Booker T] Uh-huh.
-Is she making a point to he opponent…

1081
00:58:16,328 --> 00:58:17,547
or Ms. Parker?

1082
00:58:18,565 --> 00:58:21,183
-[Booker T] Whoa!
-[Vic] Crossface locked in.

1083
00:58:21,216 --> 00:58:22,301
[referee] You wanna give up?

1084
00:58:22,335 --> 00:58:23,720
That's it! Ring the bell!

1085
00:58:23,752 --> 00:58:26,423
-[Vic] Petrovic has no choice but to tap.
-[bell dinging]

1086
00:58:26,455 --> 00:58:28,058
[referee] Come on! That's enough!

1087
00:58:28,091 --> 00:58:29,676
[theme music playing]

1088
00:58:29,709 --> 00:58:31,877
[Mike] There's your winner
by submission,

1089
00:58:32,995 --> 00:58:35,281
Kelani Jordan!

1090
00:58:35,315 --> 00:58:37,783
[Corey] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Jordan's not done yet!

1091
00:58:37,817 --> 00:58:39,252
[referee yelling]

1092
00:58:39,285 --> 00:58:40,520
The bell sounded!

1093
00:58:42,055 --> 00:58:45,841
[Corey] Much to the delight of Ms. Parker,
but Kelani Jordan has lost it.

1094
00:58:46,975 --> 00:58:48,828
[Jaida laughing]

1095
00:58:48,861 --> 00:58:51,196
[Corey] The aggression cranked up
past 11.

1096
00:58:51,231 --> 00:58:52,132
[sighing] Oh!

1097
00:58:54,517 --> 00:58:58,270
Looks to me like Ms. Parker might have
gotten under the skin of Ms. Jordan.

1098
00:58:58,303 --> 00:58:59,589
[Jaida] Aw! Poor baby.

1099
00:59:00,473 --> 00:59:02,325
Ladies and gentlemen,
I've just been informed

1100
00:59:02,359 --> 00:59:04,444
the referee has reversed the decision.

1101
00:59:04,477 --> 00:59:06,379
Therefore, your winner…

1102
00:59:06,413 --> 00:59:10,183
is Karmen Petrovic!

1103
00:59:10,216 --> 00:59:11,551
[theme music playing]

1104
00:59:11,584 --> 00:59:14,187
[Corey] The referee reversing
his decision.

1105
00:59:15,788 --> 00:59:17,424
[Vic] Well, he had really no choice.

1106
00:59:17,457 --> 00:59:20,292
Kelani Jordan is absolutely snapped.

1107
00:59:20,326 --> 00:59:22,228
[indistinct shouting]

1108
00:59:23,328 --> 00:59:24,513
Next time it's gonna be you!

1109
00:59:25,832 --> 00:59:28,718
[interviewer] Stephanie, Stephanie,
big weekend with your Royal Rumble debut

1110
00:59:28,752 --> 00:59:30,803
and tonight,
a big win over Jacy Jayne.

1111
00:59:30,837 --> 00:59:32,489
At Vengeance Day,
you'll face Fallon Henley

1112
00:59:32,522 --> 00:59:34,357
for the North American Championship.

1113
00:59:34,390 --> 00:59:35,825
What can we expect from--

1114
00:59:37,227 --> 00:59:38,495
[speaking Spanish]

1115
00:59:38,528 --> 00:59:41,830
[in English] I am going through everything
in my path

1116
00:59:41,865 --> 00:59:44,000
and rise at the end.

1117
00:59:44,616 --> 00:59:47,787
It's no different for Fallon's title.

1118
00:59:50,940 --> 00:59:55,145
Right. The eyes of the Dark Angel,

1119
00:59:56,111 --> 00:59:59,582
are on the North American title.

1120
00:59:59,616 --> 01:00:03,252
Vengeance Day I will make history

1121
01:00:03,286 --> 01:00:06,856
because I come to NXT,
to be champion.

1122
01:00:08,758 --> 01:00:12,412
Jacy can't help you.

1123
01:00:13,113 --> 01:00:16,499
Jazmyn can't help you.

1124
01:00:17,100 --> 01:00:21,705
Fallon, I will see you in hell.

1125
01:00:26,493 --> 01:00:28,511
[Vic] Well, let's get ready
for what's to come.

1126
01:00:28,544 --> 01:00:30,346
It is our main event.

1127
01:00:30,379 --> 01:00:31,598
Tag team action.

1128
01:00:31,631 --> 01:00:34,734
Trick Williams, Oba Femi
against A-Town Down.

1129
01:00:34,768 --> 01:00:37,504
It's main event time on NXT.

1130
01:00:42,558 --> 01:00:44,594
[crowd chanting] …three, two, one!

1131
01:00:45,495 --> 01:00:46,830
[siren blaring]

1132
01:00:47,981 --> 01:00:49,732
[Pat] Welcome to the Royal Rumble.

1133
01:00:49,765 --> 01:00:51,084
Lash, everyone else.

1134
01:00:51,116 --> 01:00:52,384
Holy hell!

1135
01:00:52,419 --> 01:00:54,187
Welcome to Lash Legend.

1136

♪ This is the moment ♪

1137
01:00:56,156 --> 01:00:57,457
♪ How bad do you want me? ♪

1138
01:00:57,490 --> 01:00:59,042
[Cole] Talk about power.

1139
01:00:59,075 --> 01:01:01,327
Lash is the real deal.

1140
01:01:01,361 --> 01:01:02,462
[siren blaring]

1141
01:01:03,363 --> 01:01:07,232
[Cole] Big ovation for this young woman,
Jaida Parker from NXT.

1142
01:01:07,267 --> 01:01:09,335
-[Pat] This woman is fearless.
-[crowd cheering]

1143
01:01:13,573 --> 01:01:15,725
-You've done a great job…
-[Bailey] Ava!

1144
01:01:15,759 --> 01:01:17,410
I want that…in a match.

1145
01:01:18,044 --> 01:01:19,546
-Which one?
-Cora.

1146
01:01:19,578 --> 01:01:20,446
All right, I hear you.

1147
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,866
But you have an elimination chamber
qualifier on Monday.

1148
01:01:22,899 --> 01:01:24,033
I know! I know!

1149
01:01:24,067 --> 01:01:25,618
I know! You can give her to me tomorrow.

1150
01:01:25,652 --> 01:01:28,471
You can put her in the championship match
on Vengeance Day

1151
01:01:28,504 --> 01:01:29,356
for all I care,

1152
01:01:29,388 --> 01:01:30,890
I want Cora.

1153
01:01:30,924 --> 01:01:32,575
Okay.
You can have her next week.

1154
01:01:33,042 --> 01:01:34,461
Perfect. Thank you.

1155
01:01:34,493 --> 01:01:35,412
You're welcome.

1156
01:01:36,062 --> 01:01:37,397
All right. Back to--

1157
01:01:37,430 --> 01:01:39,816
Boss,
I need to request a tag match.

1158
01:01:39,848 --> 01:01:41,368
Hey, boss. So do I.

1159
01:01:41,401 --> 01:01:43,269
We're good. My team already agreed.
We're good.

1160
01:01:43,303 --> 01:01:44,220
Mine too.

1161
01:01:44,254 --> 01:01:45,888
Okay. One at a time.

1162
01:01:45,922 --> 01:01:46,772
Briggs?

1163
01:01:46,806 --> 01:01:49,225
Look, Hank and Tank,
they already agreed to fight us.

1164
01:01:49,259 --> 01:01:51,661
So did NQCC.

1165
01:01:51,694 --> 01:01:53,495
[both snicker]

1166
01:01:53,529 --> 01:01:55,647
Yeah, sounds familiar.
Ain't that right, amigo?

1167
01:01:55,682 --> 01:01:56,850
-Classic.
-All right. Listen.

1168
01:01:56,883 --> 01:01:58,134
If you are gonna be a tag team,

1169
01:01:58,167 --> 01:02:00,002
you need to communicate
before you come to me.

1170
01:02:00,036 --> 01:02:02,422
But, thankfully, this is just an easy fix.

1171
01:02:02,455 --> 01:02:04,290
Triple threat Tag Team match,
next week.

1172
01:02:04,323 --> 01:02:06,893
You guys versus Hank and Tank
and NQCC.

1173
01:02:07,609 --> 01:02:08,528
Sound good?

1174
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,346
Yeah, that works.
Thanks, boss.

1175
01:02:10,379 --> 01:02:11,330
All right.

1176
01:02:11,364 --> 01:02:12,549
-[sighing] Perfect.
-All right.

1177
01:02:12,582 --> 01:02:14,984
Well, if they wanted action,
they certainly got it.

1178
01:02:15,018 --> 01:02:18,488
Yeah, well, if they beat those teams,
they deserve an opportunity.

1179
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:19,689
All right. I agree.

1180
01:02:20,522 --> 01:02:21,441
[Vic] How about that?

1181
01:02:21,473 --> 01:02:23,625
Cora, Bailey official for next week.

1182
01:02:23,660 --> 01:02:28,647
Also, Tony D'Angelo, Ridge Holland
will be locked in a steel cage

1183
01:02:28,682 --> 01:02:29,783
for the North American title.

1184
01:02:29,816 --> 01:02:31,734
No escape. Pinfall or submission only.

1185
01:02:31,768 --> 01:02:34,504
Who walks out North American Champion?

1186
01:02:34,537 --> 01:02:37,339
[Corey] And the Heritage Cup
will be up for grabs

1187
01:02:37,374 --> 01:02:39,959
as reigning Heritage Cup champion,
Lexis King,

1188
01:02:39,993 --> 01:02:43,645
defends against the man
we once upon a time knew as Fandango.

1189
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:48,268
TNA wrestling superstar JDC, next week.

1190
01:02:48,301 --> 01:02:50,636
[Vic] Well, right now,
let's throw it to Sarah Schreiber

1191
01:02:50,669 --> 01:02:52,756
with A-Town Down Under.

1192
01:02:53,373 --> 01:02:54,890
♪ I will remember you ♪

1193
01:02:55,424 --> 01:02:56,375
Thanks, Vic.

1194
01:02:56,408 --> 01:02:58,861
Grayson, Austin,
I spoke to Oba and Trick,

1195
01:02:58,895 --> 01:03:01,580
and both superstars
are pretty pissed off.

1196
01:03:01,614 --> 01:03:02,515
Hey. I will be too.

1197
01:03:02,549 --> 01:03:04,701
We're down here to expose these flops
that…

1198
01:03:05,250 --> 01:03:07,153
We run NXT.

1199
01:03:07,187 --> 01:03:09,004
And we can't wait to show the world

1200
01:03:09,038 --> 01:03:11,975
that A-Town Down Under
is the best tag team in WWE.

1201
01:03:12,008 --> 01:03:14,727
Me and my boy right here,
we check all the boxes.

1202
01:03:14,761 --> 01:03:15,944
We can't be denied.

1203
01:03:15,979 --> 01:03:18,330
And we're about to go out there
and put it down.

1204
01:03:18,365 --> 01:03:19,698
And that's all day.

1205
01:03:19,732 --> 01:03:22,484
Hey, this is like a little
preview of Vengeance Day,

1206
01:03:22,519 --> 01:03:25,971
when finally Grayson Waller
is NXT champion.

1207
01:03:27,473 --> 01:03:28,692
Hey, yo, what'd you say?

1208
01:03:29,259 --> 01:03:30,577
You're gonna be the champ?

1209
01:03:30,609 --> 01:03:33,763
You want to be real about it,
I'll take the NXT championship.

1210
01:03:33,797 --> 01:03:37,183
Me, you, we, there's gonna be a new
NXT champion at Vengeance Day.

1211
01:03:37,216 --> 01:03:38,917
-That's right.
-It's gonna be you.

1212
01:03:39,636 --> 01:03:41,287
-Look, man…
-[woman] A-Town…

1213
01:03:41,321 --> 01:03:43,173
We got a match to win. Let's do i.

1214
01:03:43,990 --> 01:03:45,808
Hey, this is what we do, baby.

1215
01:03:45,841 --> 01:03:48,194
We run NXT Live.

1216
01:03:48,227 --> 01:03:49,995
It doesn't matter where we are.

1217
01:03:50,029 --> 01:03:53,433
Mondays, Fridays, Tuesdays.

1218
01:03:53,466 --> 01:03:55,769
A-Town Down Under, baby.

1219
01:03:59,788 --> 01:04:03,460
[Vic] Well, it is main event time on NXT.

1220
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:07,814
[bell dings]

1221
01:04:07,846 --> 01:04:12,602
[announcer] The following is a tag team
match scheduled for one fall.

1222
01:04:12,634 --> 01:04:17,173
Introducing first, Grayson Waller,
Austin, theory,

1223
01:04:17,890 --> 01:04:23,379
A-Town Down Under!

1224
01:04:23,413 --> 01:04:25,698
[Vic] Well, we've been
waiting for this tag team match-up

1225
01:04:25,732 --> 01:04:29,335
all night long as A-Town Down Under,

1226
01:04:29,836 --> 01:04:32,339
they will face Oba Femi
in a Triple Threat match

1227
01:04:32,372 --> 01:04:35,107
a week from Saturday
for the NXT title.

1228
01:04:35,140 --> 01:04:37,977
But tonight they face Femi
and Trick Williams.

1229
01:04:38,011 --> 01:04:41,998
It's our tag team main event live,
next on NXT.

1230
01:04:44,968 --> 01:04:46,301
We're back, baby.

1231
01:04:46,336 --> 01:04:48,705
And as always, we're taking over.

1232
01:04:54,894 --> 01:04:57,364
[Vic] Three different NXT eras will meet

1233
01:04:57,397 --> 01:04:59,899
with the NXT Women's Championship
on the line.

1234
01:04:59,933 --> 01:05:03,703
Giulia, Perez, Bayley.
Triple Threat at Vengeance Day.

1235
01:05:03,736 --> 01:05:05,839
And if somehow, some way,

1236
01:05:05,872 --> 01:05:08,375
Je'von Evans can get himself
medically cleared,

1237
01:05:08,408 --> 01:05:14,564
Ava has agreed to let Evans
go one-on-one with All Ego Ethan Page.

1238
01:05:17,067 --> 01:05:19,234
'Cause the NXT championship
will be defended in a match

1239
01:05:19,269 --> 01:05:22,122
our champion does need to be factored in
with the decision to lose his title.

1240
01:05:22,154 --> 01:05:27,377
Oba Femi will face Waller
and Theory in DC at Vengeance Day.

1241
01:05:27,410 --> 01:05:29,678
But here tonight,
he's set for our main event,

1242
01:05:29,712 --> 01:05:31,381
in a tag team match.

1243
01:05:35,952 --> 01:05:37,187
Come on, Trick.

1244
01:05:37,971 --> 01:05:39,321
[music playing]

1245
01:05:39,356 --> 01:05:40,423
[crowd cheering]

1246
01:05:42,475 --> 01:05:45,562
And here comes his tag team partner.

1247
01:05:47,397 --> 01:05:48,314
[Booker T] Uh-huh.

1248
01:05:49,732 --> 01:05:52,618
What? Yeah!

1249
01:05:53,687 --> 01:05:54,921
Uh-huh.

1250
01:05:57,156 --> 01:05:58,357
Oh, yeah, man.

1251
01:05:59,225 --> 01:06:01,995
Oh, yeah. That's Trick right there, y'all.

1252
01:06:02,928 --> 01:06:04,247
There's that man.

1253
01:06:04,279 --> 01:06:06,098
[announcer] And your opponent,

1254
01:06:06,131 --> 01:06:09,051
first, from Columbia, South Carolina,

1255
01:06:09,085 --> 01:06:12,422
weighing in at 240 pounds,

1256
01:06:12,455 --> 01:06:17,077
Trick Williams.

1257
01:06:17,109 --> 01:06:18,995
[Vic] Trick Williams is here tonight.

1258
01:06:19,511 --> 01:06:20,379
No smiles.

1259
01:06:20,413 --> 01:06:23,533
He's here for a fight to prove…

1260
01:06:23,566 --> 01:06:24,768
[music playing]

1261
01:06:24,801 --> 01:06:25,952
Oh.

1262
01:06:31,758 --> 01:06:33,710
[crowd chanting] Whoop that, Trick!

1263
01:06:33,777 --> 01:06:35,178
Whoop that, Trick!

1264
01:06:35,678 --> 01:06:37,029
Whoop that, Trick!

1265
01:06:37,596 --> 01:06:38,682
Whoop that, Trick!

1266
01:06:39,482 --> 01:06:40,933
Whoop that, Trick!

1267
01:06:40,966 --> 01:06:42,085
[Booker T] That man.

1268
01:06:43,352 --> 01:06:44,754
[crowd] Whoop that, Trick!

1269
01:06:45,321 --> 01:06:48,942
[Booker T] The ruler. The conqueror.

1270
01:06:48,975 --> 01:06:52,361
[announcer] And his tag team partner,
from Lagos, Nigeria,

1271
01:06:52,395 --> 01:06:56,182
weighing in at 310 pounds,

1272
01:06:56,281 --> 01:06:59,685
he is the NXT champion,

1273
01:07:00,270 --> 01:07:04,823
-Oba Femi!
-[Booker T] No bread.

1274
01:07:04,857 --> 01:07:06,308
No water.

1275
01:07:06,343 --> 01:07:09,812
Just me.

1276
01:07:09,846 --> 01:07:12,999
[Vic] That's with nine…
Cory, if you're keeping track at home.

1277
01:07:13,033 --> 01:07:18,120
The ruler of NXT, Graves,
is yet to blink at anything

1278
01:07:18,154 --> 01:07:19,489
since becoming champion.

1279
01:07:20,089 --> 01:07:24,194
[Corey] Oba Femi has become
the personification of dominance,

1280
01:07:24,227 --> 01:07:29,598
living up to his self-given moniker
of the ruler here in NXT.

1281
01:07:29,631 --> 01:07:31,033
But now it's that time, Vic,

1282
01:07:31,067 --> 01:07:32,986
the time to ask
the Internet's favorite question.

1283
01:07:33,019 --> 01:07:37,122
When it comes to Trick Williams
and Oba Femi in tag team action,

1284
01:07:37,156 --> 01:07:38,424
can they co-exist?

1285
01:07:38,457 --> 01:07:41,444
[Vic] Well, let's remind everyone
Trick put hands

1286
01:07:41,477 --> 01:07:44,580
on A-Town Down last week in Atlanta,

1287
01:07:44,614 --> 01:07:49,368
only to be dropped
by a thunderous fall from grace

1288
01:07:49,401 --> 01:07:51,837
at the hands of Oba Femi.

1289
01:07:53,772 --> 01:07:56,209
Trick just tagged himself in again.

1290
01:07:56,241 --> 01:08:00,680
Trick and Oba, from what we understand,
have not spoken,

1291
01:08:00,714 --> 01:08:02,549
have not seen each other tonight.

1292
01:08:02,582 --> 01:08:06,752
No game plan,
as Austin Theory charging right in.

1293
01:08:06,785 --> 01:08:10,957
[Booker T] Huge mistake right there
By Trick Williams turning his back.

1294
01:08:10,990 --> 01:08:13,359
[Vic] Trick's frustrations
last week only grew

1295
01:08:13,393 --> 01:08:15,178
once our general manager Ava

1296
01:08:15,211 --> 01:08:18,447
made the Triple Threat match
official for Vengeance Day.

1297
01:08:18,481 --> 01:08:21,417
[Corey] Trick Williams needs to pick up
a victory in this match-up

1298
01:08:21,451 --> 01:08:25,037
to stay in the good graces of Ava
and potentially challenge

1299
01:08:25,071 --> 01:08:26,956
for all of those NXT championships.

1300
01:08:26,990 --> 01:08:29,125
And Trick coming unglued right now.

1301
01:08:29,158 --> 01:08:32,045
[Vic] Nice dropkick pointing
right to the NXT champion.

1302
01:08:32,077 --> 01:08:33,446
[overlapping chatter]

1303
01:08:36,215 --> 01:08:37,099
Fix him.

1304
01:08:39,803 --> 01:08:41,871
[Vic] You know, Book,
I asked this,

1305
01:08:41,904 --> 01:08:44,006
does Trick even have the right
to be angry?

1306
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:45,524
As Theory connects with a dropkick.

1307
01:08:46,408 --> 01:08:48,495
-[Corey] My theory.
-[Booker T] Whoa.

1308
01:08:48,528 --> 01:08:51,798
One thing about Trick Williams,
he's had a meteoric rise.

1309
01:08:51,831 --> 01:08:54,634
One thing I always talk about getting
that championship around your waist,

1310
01:08:54,666 --> 01:08:57,603
when you lose it, you can turn
into a different person.

1311
01:08:57,636 --> 01:08:58,737
So I understand it.

1312
01:08:58,772 --> 01:09:00,206
[Vic] Here comes Grayson Waller.

1313
01:09:01,023 --> 01:09:02,559
Checking in the match for the first time,

1314
01:09:02,591 --> 01:09:07,162
and Graves, you had a front row seat
to A-Town Down Under's rise last year.

1315
01:09:07,746 --> 01:09:09,849
[Corey] I have a front row seat
to this right now.

1316
01:09:09,883 --> 01:09:10,750
[all exclaim]

1317
01:09:10,783 --> 01:09:12,618
We watched Grayson Waller
and Austin Theory

1318
01:09:12,652 --> 01:09:16,523
become WWE tag team champions
at Wrestlemania.

1319
01:09:16,555 --> 01:09:18,907
It doesn't get any bigger than that.

1320
01:09:18,942 --> 01:09:20,894
And right now, Waller is teeing off.

1321
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,630
[Booker T] Oh, baby!

1322
01:09:23,662 --> 01:09:26,249
That's Trick Williams right there, baby.

1323
01:09:28,001 --> 01:09:29,419
[Vic] Well, you bring up Wrestlemania.

1324
01:09:29,452 --> 01:09:30,670
Of course.

1325
01:09:30,703 --> 01:09:32,505
Wrestlemania weekend in Las Vegas,

1326
01:09:32,538 --> 01:09:34,941
Stand and deliver
will be Wrestlemania Saturday--

1327
01:09:36,026 --> 01:09:38,728
[crowd chanting] Whoop that, Trick!
Whoop that, Trick!

1328
01:09:40,145 --> 01:09:42,916
-[Vic] A couple of Booker T sidekicks.
-[Booker T] Yes!

1329
01:09:42,948 --> 01:09:45,318
[Vic] Trick Williams following up
with a suplex.

1330
01:09:45,352 --> 01:09:46,752
And Williams pops right up,

1331
01:09:46,786 --> 01:09:49,154
stares a hole right through
the NXT champion.

1332
01:09:49,188 --> 01:09:52,008
He's looking to send a message,
looking to prove a point.

1333
01:09:52,041 --> 01:09:54,394
[Booker T] Oh, man. Look in the eyes, man.

1334
01:09:54,427 --> 01:09:56,996
You can tell a man
by the way he walks.

1335
01:09:57,030 --> 01:10:00,867
You've got two grown-ass men
right there in that corner.

1336
01:10:00,900 --> 01:10:03,853
[Vic] Corey, it's not surprising
they haven't talked at all.

1337
01:10:03,887 --> 01:10:06,606
But look, neither man
can afford to lose this match,

1338
01:10:06,639 --> 01:10:08,875
-as Femi tags in.
-[Corey] Absolutely not.

1339
01:10:08,907 --> 01:10:12,345
Oba Femi, as dominant as he has been,
as the face of NXT,

1340
01:10:12,379 --> 01:10:15,949
currently can never afford to take an L,

1341
01:10:15,982 --> 01:10:18,535
And Trick Williams,
as we mentioned earlier, needs this win.

1342
01:10:18,568 --> 01:10:20,303
He needs to be on the winning team

1343
01:10:20,336 --> 01:10:23,156
to procure potentially
a future championship opportunity.

1344
01:10:23,188 --> 01:10:25,642
On the other side,
we've got A-Town Down Under.

1345
01:10:25,675 --> 01:10:28,561
They both have their opportunity
come Vengeance Day.

1346
01:10:28,595 --> 01:10:30,597
Tonight is about gaining an upper hand.

1347
01:10:30,630 --> 01:10:31,781
[Booker T] Oh, baby.

1348
01:10:31,815 --> 01:10:33,916
[Corey] Trying to get ahead of the ruler,

1349
01:10:33,950 --> 01:10:36,068
which from the looks of it,
ain't working.

1350
01:10:36,102 --> 01:10:37,804
[Vic] Can Femi get
the upper hand right now,

1351
01:10:37,837 --> 01:10:39,539
and you bring up a great point…

1352
01:10:40,173 --> 01:10:41,474
And tag was made by Trick.

1353
01:10:41,508 --> 01:10:43,626
It's ironic that Trick
is here to help Oba.

1354
01:10:43,660 --> 01:10:45,061
Oba is here to kind of help Trick.

1355
01:10:45,095 --> 01:10:47,480
They both got to gain momentum
ahead of Vengeance Day.

1356
01:10:47,514 --> 01:10:49,599
-They're arguing.
-[Booker T] You gotta understand.

1357
01:10:49,632 --> 01:10:51,434
They're trying to one-up each other.

1358
01:10:51,468 --> 01:10:53,952
-Oh, here we go.
-[Corey] You're right about that.

1359
01:10:53,987 --> 01:10:55,772
At the end of the day,
what's this game about?

1360
01:10:55,804 --> 01:10:57,956
-Two things.
-[Booker T] Championship, baby.

1361
01:10:57,991 --> 01:11:00,977
[Corey] Both Trick and Oba
want the winner's purse tonight.

1362
01:11:02,295 --> 01:11:04,914
-Waller's swinging wildly.
-[Vic] Wait-- What the--

1363
01:11:05,749 --> 01:11:07,800
[overlapping chatter]

1364
01:11:11,538 --> 01:11:12,772
[Corey] Grayson Waller

1365
01:11:13,940 --> 01:11:15,892
taking out Trick and Oba.

1366
01:11:15,925 --> 01:11:19,496
[Vic] A-Town Down Under standing tall

1367
01:11:19,529 --> 01:11:22,182
in our main event on NXT.

1368
01:11:26,568 --> 01:11:31,358
Trick Williams in a world of hurt
as Oba Femi, the NXT champion,

1369
01:11:31,391 --> 01:11:35,128
reluctantly is tagging tonight
with Trick Williams,

1370
01:11:35,695 --> 01:11:39,933
but A-Town Down Under
have effectively cut this ring in half.

1371
01:11:41,835 --> 01:11:43,586
And Theory, right back on top.

1372
01:11:43,620 --> 01:11:46,723
And again, it's Theory, it's Waller
who a week from Saturday,

1373
01:11:46,755 --> 01:11:50,477
will be in a Triple Threat match against
Oba Femi for the NXT Championship.

1374
01:11:50,510 --> 01:11:54,714
And Booker, you and I both know,
Oba no stranger to Triple Threat matches.

1375
01:11:54,748 --> 01:11:57,666
[Booker T] Man, you put this guy
in a situation like I say, obstacles.

1376
01:11:57,701 --> 01:12:01,504
Over, around, under,
Oba Femi may go straight through them.

1377
01:12:01,538 --> 01:12:03,623
Just like that big shot there by Waller.

1378
01:12:03,656 --> 01:12:07,994
Oh, yes. A-Town Down.
A-Town Down. Here we go.

1379
01:12:08,028 --> 01:12:09,913
[Vic] Is this enough
to put away Williams--

1380
01:12:09,946 --> 01:12:10,813
And a kickout.

1381
01:12:10,847 --> 01:12:14,300
Because they know, you know
A-Town Down Under very well.

1382
01:12:14,334 --> 01:12:17,670
They know that Oba Femi
has never lost a Triple Threat match.

1383
01:12:17,704 --> 01:12:19,973
[Corey] I fully expect to come
Vengeance Day,

1384
01:12:20,005 --> 01:12:23,108
Waller and Theory to have
some semblance of a plan, a strategy.

1385
01:12:23,143 --> 01:12:24,394
Who will it benefit more?

1386
01:12:24,427 --> 01:12:27,246
Ultimately, only one man
can leave as NXT champion.

1387
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,266
But I guarantee you, Waller and Theory
are gonna have some sort of plan

1388
01:12:30,300 --> 01:12:32,885
-to take down the ruler.
-[Vic] Speaking of championships…

1389
01:12:32,919 --> 01:12:36,156
Steel cage match
for the North American Championship,

1390
01:12:36,188 --> 01:12:38,191
as Waller falling into the cover-up…

1391
01:12:38,224 --> 01:12:41,227
And Williams,
just getting that right shoulder up.

1392
01:12:41,795 --> 01:12:44,496
Oh, and right into the back of the neck.

1393
01:12:44,531 --> 01:12:45,598
He ain't that good.

1394
01:12:47,617 --> 01:12:50,186
[Corey] And, you know, you sense, Booker,

1395
01:12:50,220 --> 01:12:53,072
Waller has a little bit extra
on what he's got.

1396
01:12:53,106 --> 01:12:55,125
He's a little extra aggressive.

1397
01:12:55,157 --> 01:12:58,327
You must like this because you don't
necessarily like Grayson Waller.

1398
01:12:58,361 --> 01:13:01,097
But this is a man
who was on NXT once before,

1399
01:13:01,130 --> 01:13:02,682
and didn't get his…

1400
01:13:02,715 --> 01:13:05,585
[Booker T] He's gonna have a lot
of disdain for these young guys coming up.

1401
01:13:05,617 --> 01:13:08,071
…you have never done.

1402
01:13:09,739 --> 01:13:12,492
You're gonna come back.
You want to take it out on them.

1403
01:13:12,525 --> 01:13:15,445
You're gonna make them feel some pain.
That's what Waller's all about.

1404
01:13:15,478 --> 01:13:18,248
[Vic] And to that point, Corey,
when you think about NXT

1405
01:13:18,281 --> 01:13:21,483
when Grayson Waller was here,
the only thing people talk about…

1406
01:13:22,102 --> 01:13:24,404
Carmelo Hayes.
They talk about Trick Williams.

1407
01:13:24,437 --> 01:13:27,557
Grayson Waller doesn't get
talked enough about in his own mind.

1408
01:13:27,590 --> 01:13:30,777
[Corey] And that eats at Grayson Waller
every single day of his life.

1409
01:13:30,809 --> 01:13:32,212
Every arena he walks into,

1410
01:13:32,245 --> 01:13:35,615
Grayson Waller feels disrespected,
neglected, overlooked.

1411
01:13:35,648 --> 01:13:38,585
And that can drive a superstar
to do truly great things,

1412
01:13:38,617 --> 01:13:40,086
no matter the circumstances.

1413
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,139
I think that makes Grayson Waller
an extremely dangerous man.

1414
01:13:43,173 --> 01:13:44,374
[Booker T] You know why?

1415
01:13:44,407 --> 01:13:47,143
Because he always felt
like he was a main event guy.

1416
01:13:47,177 --> 01:13:50,397
A main roster guy, and I felt that…

1417
01:13:51,630 --> 01:13:54,233
[Corey] Wiping Trick out was Theory.

1418
01:13:54,267 --> 01:13:56,936
-And out comes Grayson.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby.

1419
01:13:56,969 --> 01:13:58,405
Oh, baby.

1420
01:13:59,155 --> 01:14:01,257
Levels to this game, man.

1421
01:14:02,058 --> 01:14:03,610
They are level to this game.

1422
01:14:03,643 --> 01:14:06,062
[Vic] And almost on point to what we said.

1423
01:14:08,598 --> 01:14:12,652
A little extra from Waller right out here
in front of us.

1424
01:14:12,686 --> 01:14:16,289
I'll go back to what he said to Austin
when they're coming into the ring.

1425
01:14:16,322 --> 01:14:17,807
That he will be champion.

1426
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:21,760
[Corey] Grayson Waller believes
that could lead Grayson Waller to success.

1427
01:14:21,795 --> 01:14:24,130
But Waller also has to realize that Theory

1428
01:14:24,164 --> 01:14:27,166
is going to enter that match-up
with the exact same mindset.

1429
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,702
Theory, the youngest United States
champion in WWE history.

1430
01:14:29,736 --> 01:14:30,937
[all exclaim]

1431
01:14:30,969 --> 01:14:33,373
[Corey] Waller just got
popped and dropped.

1432
01:14:33,406 --> 01:14:35,241
[Booker T] Got popped right there.

1433
01:14:36,476 --> 01:14:39,813
[Vic] And this is that moment
for Trick Williams.

1434
01:14:39,846 --> 01:14:41,798
Out of desperation,

1435
01:14:41,831 --> 01:14:44,517
he's reaching out over for Oba Femi.

1436
01:14:45,719 --> 01:14:48,471
[Corey] Pop-up right hand
from Williams' rock to jaw…

1437
01:14:50,322 --> 01:14:53,425
[Vic] Theory made the tag, so did Oba.

1438
01:14:53,460 --> 01:14:54,911
Oba coming right back in,

1439
01:14:54,943 --> 01:14:58,415
and like a one-man wrecking crew,
just dropping everything.

1440
01:14:58,447 --> 01:15:00,666
And now he's bringing
in Waller the hard way.

1441
01:15:00,700 --> 01:15:05,405
[Corey] The ruler imposing his will
on A-Town Down Under.

1442
01:15:05,438 --> 01:15:07,857
[Vic] And this will be
the scene in Washington.

1443
01:15:07,891 --> 01:15:11,528
Theory, Waller, Oba Femi, Triple Threat.

1444
01:15:11,561 --> 01:15:14,179
What Oba does needs to be
factored into the decision

1445
01:15:14,214 --> 01:15:15,548
to lose this title.

1446
01:15:15,581 --> 01:15:19,202
[Booker T] The power. Here we go, baby.

1447
01:15:20,587 --> 01:15:22,739
[Corey] Double-stack Samoan drop.

1448
01:15:22,772 --> 01:15:28,361
[Vic] The ruler, the destroyer,
the NXT champion,

1449
01:15:28,394 --> 01:15:30,263
Oba Femi.

1450
01:15:32,766 --> 01:15:37,103
[Corey] Femi like a runaway train,
back and forth across the ring.

1451
01:15:40,572 --> 01:15:43,977
Terrifying speed from a man of Oba's size.

1452
01:15:45,010 --> 01:15:46,129
[Booker T] Oh, baby.

1453
01:15:46,161 --> 01:15:48,514
[Vic] And just tossing Theory.

1454
01:15:48,548 --> 01:15:52,001
And Theory is not a small man.
Oba Femi just tossed him like a child.

1455
01:15:53,169 --> 01:15:54,187
Uh-oh.

1456
01:15:56,022 --> 01:15:58,391
Trick just tagged himself in.

1457
01:15:59,925 --> 01:16:01,678
The tag was made on the other side.

1458
01:16:02,195 --> 01:16:03,730
Waller is legal.

1459
01:16:03,763 --> 01:16:07,666
Trick Williams doesn't realize
Austin theory is not the legal superstar.

1460
01:16:09,602 --> 01:16:11,137
[Corey] Big right rocks Trick.

1461
01:16:14,257 --> 01:16:15,608
That's the wisest decision.

1462
01:16:15,642 --> 01:16:16,893
Mock Oba Femi…

1463
01:16:17,610 --> 01:16:18,728
[Vic] And the taunt…

1464
01:16:19,529 --> 01:16:22,432
just didn't pay it back…

1465
01:16:22,465 --> 01:16:24,768
…having to say…

1466
01:16:27,437 --> 01:16:30,090
[Corey] Oh, jumping back elbow
rocks the champion.

1467
01:16:30,123 --> 01:16:33,159
Things are starting to break down.
Looking for that fall from grace.

1468
01:16:33,793 --> 01:16:36,279
Powerbomb by Austin Theory.

1469
01:16:36,312 --> 01:16:38,630
He just took Oba over the top rope.

1470
01:16:38,665 --> 01:16:40,333
The two legal men in the room…

1471
01:16:40,950 --> 01:16:42,318
[Corey] That's Eddy Thorpe.

1472
01:16:42,352 --> 01:16:43,719
[Vic] With a strap.

1473
01:16:45,621 --> 01:16:48,273
And flying in is Grayson Waller.

1474
01:16:48,308 --> 01:16:50,543
The official didn't see Eddy Thorpe.

1475
01:16:50,577 --> 01:16:53,380
-And A-Town Down Under steals it.
-[bell dings]

1476
01:16:54,047 --> 01:16:55,382
[announcer] Here are your winners.

1477
01:16:55,982 --> 01:17:00,286
A-Town Down Under.

1478
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,173
[Vic] The official
did not see what happened.

1479
01:17:03,206 --> 01:17:05,008
A-Town Down Under victorious.

1480
01:17:06,559 --> 01:17:10,179
[Corey] What does this mean
for Trick's NXT championship hopes?

1481
01:17:14,666 --> 01:17:16,135
[Vic] Eddy Thorpe

1482
01:17:18,271 --> 01:17:20,040
staring a hole in Oba Femi.

1483
01:17:21,708 --> 01:17:24,844
[Corey] Thorpe just recently survived
a battle with the ruler.

1484
01:17:30,849 --> 01:17:33,452
[Vic] And Oba walking out on Trick…

1485
01:17:33,486 --> 01:17:36,956
Oba Femi earlier tonight said
he didn't owe Trick a damn thing.

1486
01:17:36,990 --> 01:17:41,777
And he has left Trick Williams
to the wolf.

1487
01:17:46,633 --> 01:17:48,318
No, no, no.

1488
01:17:48,934 --> 01:17:50,286
"Whoop that, Trick," huh?

1489
01:17:51,036 --> 01:17:52,522
[Corey] Oh, my God.

1490
01:17:53,505 --> 01:17:54,741
[groaning]
