[Triple H] Then.
Now.
Forever.
Together.
[Vic] The NXT universe is fired up to now.
You can feel the energy because the NXT universe is ready
to feel the fallout from all the pain, all the destruction, all the vengeance.
[Vic] We are live in our nation's capital tonight.
It's not about love or admiration.
It's about revenge and pain.
Welcome, to Vengeance Day.
Briggs and Amora will see you.
Fraxiom retains [bleeping]
[Corey] Who the hell are these guys?
This is premeditated.
[Vic] They're wreaking absolute havoc.
Fallon, I will become NXT Women's North American champion.
-[Corey] Spiral tap! -[Vic] Cover!
Stephanie Vaquer has just made history.
[Corey] Well, look out!
My God!
Je'Von Evans beating the holy hell out
of Ethan Page, an eye for an eye, a jaw for a jaw.
-[Vic] What a right hand into that jaw! -[Corey] Another smile stolen
by Ethan Page.
[Vic] Eddy Thorpe looks to redefine the brutality of a strap mat tonight
at the expense of Trick Williams.
[all groaning]
[Booker] That's legal!
[Corey] Eddy Thorpe just shocks the NXT universe.
[crowd booing]
[Corey] Individual glory on the line tonight.
Oba Femi has what Waller and Theory both want.
It's all about who leaves D.C. with the NXT Championship.
The Ruler is ill! Oba Femi!
[Corey] They're back!
Like a pack of hounds!
[Vic] We don't know the reason.
But they came,
they saw,
they conquered.
This is our main event.
Three eras represented.
Bayley, black and gold.
Roxanne, Jade, 2.0.
Giulia on top of the mountain now.
[Corey] Who is going to walk out with the Women's NXT Championship?
[Bayley] I owe NXT to get rid of entitled little idiots.
[Roxanne] I'm gonna win back the NXT Women's Championship
and then maybe Cora can finally win a championship.
[Cora] You said it yourself. It's finally my turn to win the championship.
[Giulia] Enough!
You three cannot survive the beautiful madness.
[Vic] Giulia does the unthinkable to retain her gold.
Vaquer, Giulia spearheading the best women's division in wrestling.
[alarm blaring]
[Corey] Oh, my God, the juggernaut!
[Vic] Jordynne Grace is here and she is NXT.
The best women's division in the world just became the strongest.
[Vic] What a night it was.
But our NXT Champion looks to be in…
Hit his music, hit his music.
[Vic] …no mood here tonight.
[Oba Femi's music playing]
[Mike] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the NXT champion, Oba Femi!
Graves, four men, we identified two
dropped over in what was considered
a premeditated assault by four rogue athletes from the performance.
[Corey] Let's call it what it truly was.
It was a massacre at the expense of the NXT champion.
And here we are several days later
but we still know a little more than we did Saturday night
about these four individuals shrouded in mystery.
But from the looks on Oba's face, he has got a lot on his mind tonight.
Let's get straight to business.
You see those four fools that jumped me at Vengeance Day
right after my match, they made one very big mistake.
One very big mistake.
They didn't finish the job.
They hit me with their last shot, with their best shot.
And I'm standing here unfazed!
[crowd cheering]
So why don't you four fools come down to this ring and finish what you started?
I'll wait.
[Vic] Oba… Uh-oh.
[music playing]
Oh, my God, Booker!
[Booker] Oh, yes!
We know who that is.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you
two one, he is, Oh, my God, man…
[Vic] It's the TNA X-Division champion.
[Booker] We're talking about no bread.
We're talking about no water.
We're talking about just meat. Oh, my God,
two grown ass mid man heavyweights.
[Vic] Moose has crossed the line.
[Corey] I don't know if anybody is further shocked than Oba Femi.
The Ruler staring eye to eye with Moose.
This is surreal!
[Vic] Look at the NXT Universe, they're in shock.
They're on their feet.
Expect the unexpected, Tuesday nights.
[Booker] Waiting and anticipating this one very moment.
-Oh, my God, man. -[Vic] What a moment this is!
[Corey] There aren't many men in the game who can stand eye to eye with Oba Femi.
Look at the size of these two.
[Booker] Instant takedown.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] NXT, NXT, NXT!
NXT, NXT, NXT!
[crowd cheering]
Oba.
I just burst the bubble you've been living in
because I'm the one man you can't rule over
[crowd cheering]
That place where you are the man,
that's your bubble. In here,
I am inevitable.
Oba, this has to happen.
-Oba Femi versus… -[crowd] Moose.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting "TNA"]
Don't worry.
It will.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker T] Guys, are you ready for this?
NXT, are you ready for this?
Oh, my God, it's going down.
[Vic] Well, what a night it already has been here on NXT.
And there's the newest NXT Superstar, Jordynne Grace.
What's the juggernaut have in store for us tonight live on NXT?
But the buzz is real.
There's been all sorts of talk and there's been all sorts of speculation.
but the biggest NXT contract-signing in history, takes place tonight.
[upbeat music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[bell dings]
[Rome] The following contest
is the NXT Women's North American Championship.
No. 1 Contender.
Triple Threat Match.
Introducing first, from Port St. Lucie, Florida
Jaida Parker.
[Vic] Triple Threat, three women,
one will win, who's going to be the new No. 1 Contender
for the Women's North American title?
[narrator] Time for tonight's NXT Spotlight.
Look, I won the Strap Match.
I'm done with Trick Williams.
So now I'm thinking the next thing I deserve--
Eddy, think less.
Yeah, you won. But you've had opportunity after opportunity.
Yeah, and I just won the biggest match of my career against Trick Williams--
Uh, sorry to interrupt. We wanted to formally invite you
-to our party tonight. -Here you go.
Inviting the GM to our party, that's ballsy. [chuckles]
-No. -What?
-No. -You two really think it's a good idea
inviting the GM to one of your parties?
I know you're not talking bro.
-Didn't he do the, uh… He did the-- -Bro, yeah! Dude.
Every good party needs good music.
-No, no, no. Hell, no! -Oh, yeah. DJ wanted.
No. I just shocked the world on Saturday,
and now you think I'm gonna play at one of your parties?
Shouldn't you boys be in class or something anyways?
I wish, but Mr. Chase keeps turning us down, so--
Yeah, well, that's probably for the best,
because Mr. Chase will probably just ruin your lives
and bring you down just like he did Chase U.
Wow. How dare you!
Don't talk about Mr. Chase like that!
He would have whooped your ass in that Strap Match.
Matter of fact, he'll beat you any day of the week.
You're stupid and delusional.
He would have and that's why,
on behalf of Mr. Chase,
we're challenging you to a match.
You guys speak on behalf of Mr. Chase now?
Yeah, we do.
We're like this and he'll see you tonight.
Like this.
["All Eyes On Me" playing]
[Rome] Next, accompanied to the ring
by a Ashante "Thee" Adonis,
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Karmen Petrovic.
[Vic] All right, Graves.
Can you contribute the rise of Karmen Petrovic to her man--
[Corey] No, I don't need to hear the rest of the question.
I'm not attributing Karmen's success
on Ashante "Thee" Adonis.
I'm gonna say that it seems like Karmen has finally got her heart right
and maybe her mind has followed.
But you can't give her credit for Ashante "Thee" Adonis.
-[Booker T] Thank you. -[Vic] What do you mean "thank you"?
You've been telling me that she's doing better because of him.
[Booker T] I said it, man. You don't mix business with pleasure.
It's Ashante. Is he a manager?
Why is he here? Why is he here?
["Out Of This World" playing]
[Vic] WWE 2K25 right now,
and you're getting a sneak peek at Kelani Jordan's entrance.
And look, that's just how real the game looks.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
[Booker T] Damn right and I'm in it.
[Rome] And from Boynton Beach, Florida,
Kelani Jordan
[Vic] You're in it too, aren't you, Graves?
[Booker T] Hell, no, you ain't either.
[Vic chuckles] Pretty sure he is in it.
[Corey] Last I checked.
[Vic] We're going to move on from that segway,
but, Graves, you've got to like Ava's decision to make this match.
[Corey] I think it's a great decision by Ava
and a great series of decisions by Ava.
There's so much parity within the women's division in NXT.
It's red hot right now.
It's the best women's division in all of wrestling.
Sometimes you just got to let them fight it out.
[Vic] The winner of this match will be the No. 1 Contender
for the Women's North American Championship,
which is now held by Stephanie Vaquer.
After what transpired this past weekend.
First cover of the matchup goes to Petrovic and a quick kickout.
Booker, what a night by the way.
Another cover and another kickout. What a night it was in DC.
[Booker T] No, no, from top to bottom.
I wouldn't even say bottom.
It was a hell of a card from top to top,
because all the ladies went out there and rocked it, man.
[Vic] Well, these three ladies were in the front row,
keeping a close eye on the North American Championship Match
Saturday night and all three now with similar hopes
of becoming the next No. 1 Contender to Stephanie Vaquer.
[Booker T] Beautiful dropkick.
[Vic] We were sold out back on the road
next week in Cincinnati, but no doubt these women
were on a collision course for this opportunity
because the women's division, frankly, just stacked.
[Booker T] Here she goes. Whoa, whoa.
[Vic] And looking to fly, big moonsault to the outside.
Kelani in control.
[Corey] That's the mission of all these women up and down the roster,
trying to find a way to stand out, try to take the spotlight for yourself.
The locker room is hungry. They are passionate.
Everybody wants to be the best in the game,
and this is the best in the game.
[Booker T] The ladies jockeying for position and Kelani Jordan,
she's been to the top, first ever Woman's North American Champion.
Can she get back there? That's the question.
[Vic] Well, Booker, you're a coach,
and we've seen on LFG, is the growing up process we're seeing
what the standout needed to do.
[Booker T] Yeah, it is, but that's the thing, you know.
She's been there, she did it, you know, in such a grand fashion.
The question is, was she a flash in the pan here today?
And going tomorrow, can she repeat that?
That's the question, Victor.
[Vic] I will say you've always told me.
What have you done for me lately?
Kelani Jordan 1-6 since losing the North American women's title.
Booker, how does she regroup and get back on her winning ways?
[Booker T] One thing I've said about Kelani Jordan,
she's a student of the game.
She's always thinking about the playbook and her endurance.
We can't question that.
From that background she's got, she's got the "it" factor.
[Corey] Let's talk about Ms. Parker, Book.
Ms. Parker is not worried about the playbook.
Ms. Parker is worried about W's.
She's on your wavelength, checks the championships.
[Booker T] I agree 100%. Let me tell you something.
That lady right there, Ms. Parker, all business inside that squared circle.
[Booker] She can throw hands, oh! Yes, man.
[Vic] A couple of soup plex is floating right over into the cover.
-And just able to kick out. -[Booker] So close.
[Vic] Who's walking out.
Number one contender for the Women's North American title.
[crowd cheering]
What a match of this has been.
By the way, this is the first triple threat match.
For all these women, one fall to finish,
no disqualification and it's breaking down now,
almost into a hockey fight.
[Corey] You could have fooled me, all three of these women holding their own,
in impressive fashion in this triple threat.
Inverted Vertical suplex.
[Booker] Let me tell you something.
Jaida Parker is showing me something tonight.
That's what I always talk about.
You got to show me something.
[Vic] Karmen Petrovic, the one standing right now showing Booker a lot.
She's on the longest winning streak of her career.
And looking from behind. Wayne spoiler yet again turning right inside out.
And now a little extra assistant from that middle rope.
Holding up Karmen.
And look at Kelani on one leg on one wheel, dropping What athleticism.
[Corey] An incredible effort from Kalani Jordan.
But Miss Parker is beginning to stir.
[Vic] We've seen a new side of Kalani.
Thanks in part to Jaida Parker, she's spewed venom they've battled
they tried to one up each other.
[Corey] Parker for that again.
[Vic] Countered
and Kalani.
[Booker] Very innovative.
-[Vic] Cover. -[Booker] That's it.
[Booker] Whoa!
[Vic] A near fall and Booker brought it up earlier.
If Kelani Jordan can make history once again, she wins here tonight.
She could be the first person to ever become a two time
women's North American champion.
[Booker] But I tell you right now, not winning that could be frustrating Vic.
That could lead to something a very, very dark place.
Let me tell you that.
[Corey] I just want to pay attention to the look on Jaida Parker.
[Booker] Woo.
[Corey] This Parker was over it.
You can see on her face, she said.
It's time to end this thing.
[Vic] Just drop Petrovic.
Jayda Parker in control into the cover.
Hook of the leg.
Isn't gonna be enough of a frog splash.
Breaking up the count.
All three women down, what a way to kick off NXT.
[crowd chanting]
[Corey] And the next faithful letting the competitors know.
[crowd chanting]
[Vic] All three of these women battling it out right now.
Again a number one contenders match to Stephanie Vaquer,
our new women's North American champion.
We were shocked by the arrival of the TNA X Division champion Moose,
to start the night face to face with Oba Femi.
Now these three women battling it out in Boeker,
the women's division certainly got a lot stronger this weekend.
[Booker] Yeah, I'm gonna tell you that that final shot,
Stephanie Vaquer that the--Giulia, the NXT e champion.
And the juggernaut Jordynne Grace.
Oh! Yes, pigeons have picked up, picked up
[Vic] Corey I like to think of you as someone who I can ask any sort of question
to have you ever seen a move like that?
[Corey] I was just thinking that I don't think I've ever seen
that particular maneuver in my career.
Impressive it was from Kelani Jordan.
[Vic] Big shot from Petrovic,
looking to continue to make new members of the Xinxing squad.
She is gold blooded, and right now she has swung the pendulum.
Into her favor in this triple threat match.
[Corey] I believe cold blooded is reserved for Charlotte Flair.
Thank you very much. That was my line, Vic.
But anyway, Karmen Petrovic is a fantastic athlete.
Looking to make an impact here.
[Vic] No argument on that one putting himself over.
[inaudible]
[Corey] No they never mind, We'll get to it in the commercial break.
Coming right back at it.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Petrovic, now she gets on two for one.
-[Corey] Incredible. -[Vic] Unbelievable cover.
Counter and another near fall.
[Corey] Miss Parker better thank her lucky stars that Karmen able to kick out.
[Booker] Oh My God, put some Cholula green on that one man.
[Vic] Oh hitting hard just wiped out Kelani.
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] All right I got to question this decision by
Miss Parker going to the outside when she was solo in the ring with Karmen.
[Vic] It would catch Petrovic who was trying to slide in.
From the side Jaida Parker and I think realizing what you had said Corey,
coming back into the ring, this is her best opportunity.
To win this matchup.
Having a little one on one contest with Kelani, wait.
Oh on the outside, oh.
[Booker] We're gonna see it. We're gonna see it.
Oh! Yes.
Give me a little sketch just like that. Grab the Tigers right there, baby.
[Corey] Look at Kelani, Look at Kalani, but look at Ashante.
-[Booker] The hell? -[Corey] Just pulled Karmen to safety.
[Vic] Parker realized it.
Parker now, starting to climb all the way to the top.
These two struggling, battling and it looks like Parker has the upper hand.
Big suplex.
And you see the pain on the face.
Of Kalani Jordan.
Miss Parker now.
In control of this match, I think we're gonna get it again Book,
[Booker] Oh! to dive.
Double up, double up, here we go.
Give me a little hot step like that.
[Vic] Wait a minute Ashante just put you Karmen.
Parker didn't realize it.
Petrovic, Petrovic, is the number one contender.
[Petrovic theme playing]
[Corey] And Jaida Parker has come unglued and realizing what just happened.
[crowd murmuring]
[Vic] But let's be honest, Kalani.
[Corey] Jaida got caught showboating.
She was high stepping, Ashante helped Karmen take advantage of the situation.
[Vic] And these two, this Ralph song about earlier.
[Corey] What a fight.
[Vic] Jaida bringing out a new side of Kelani.
-[Corey] I love it. -[Vic] We need more officials.
But what a big win!
Thanks to a shot team, the Adonis.
The winning streak continues,
and we can announce this in Cincinnati.
The NXT Women's North American title will be on the line.
Petrovic and Vaquer.
Ain't love grand?
Certainly is and how about this?
Jordynne Grace.
She made her presence felt this weekend, in vengeance day.
We're all gonna find out what is on the juggernaut's--
-What the hell? -[Corey] Wait, wait, wait.
-[Vic] Is that? -[Corey] Yes
[Vic] Fatal impact is here.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] And you know that this has to eat at Fallon Henley.
Who lost that title this past weekend.
[Corey] Well, Petrovic is being mugged in the center of the ring.
By Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx.
And the former the women's North American champion,
Fallon Henley, who is irate.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] We need some help out here.
[crowd murmuring]
[crowd cheering]
[Jordynne's theme playing]
[Corey] Oh oh.
[Vic] Back on NXT.
And Jordynne Grace here in the nick of time.
Oh the juggernaut.
[crowd cheering]
This is unreal.
What a night it has been.
[Corey] Jordynne Grace evening the odds,
coming to the aid of Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer.
[Vic] Since we started tonight, this has been total nonstop chaos.
[crowd chanting]
I came to NXT to be a part of the best women's division in wrestling.
[crowd cheering]
and now that I'm in the middle of it.
I don't want to waste a single second.
[crowd cheering]
You Three clearly want to fight.
[crowd cheering]
And so do we.
So tonight, let's fight.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] You gonna get no argument out of us.
It's going to be a busy night for our general manager Ava.
-[Jordynne's theme playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Whoo! And it has been a wild night thus far.
["Outta The Way" playing]
♪ Me and my guys Gonna pay out the block… ♪
Hey, Stacks, are you sure about this?
Very sure. It's time for me to stand up on my own on--
Did you run this by T?
Have you heard from him?
Because I haven't.
And like time, our business goes on.
T wants me to step up,
so it's time for me to take care of business myself.
I'm gonna go get taped ups.
Let's go.
Well, guys, it certainly sounds to me like
Stacks is ready to handle some family business tonight.
He's certainly gonna have to.
But, Book, I mean, what is going on tonight?
-[laughs] -Moose, everybody, fighting.
Get the green out, man! Get it out!
Well, what a night it has been.
What a night it's gonna be.
We're gonna see if that main event gets made
for a six-woman tag team match-up later on tonight.
It's time for tag team action right now.
["Time Out" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[bell dings]
[Mike] The following contest is a tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson!
[Vic] This match-up caused by a little bit of a stir in the back.
There's been a lot of chirping going on
between these two teams over the last several weeks.
["Tortured Minds" playing]
[Mike] And their opponents,
the team of Sol Ruca and Zaria!
[Vic] So we've been trying to figure out if these two can get on the same page.
They've been trying to do some new things, Graves,
as we learned at Vengeance Day.
[Corey] Well, an attempt was made, a little team bonding on the beach.
And, well, just look with your own eyes as to, well…
How well or… Well, that did not work out.
[Vic] We'll, see if it worked out. Tonight it was nice that…
Zaria tried to share the ice cream at the end.
You would have shared your ice cream with us.
[Booker] No, I wouldn't have.
-[Vic] But we're friends. -[Booker] We're not friends.
-[Vic] That's hurtful. -[Booker] Co-workers.
-[Vic] All right. -[Booker] At best.
[Vic] Trying to get a friendship between these two.
[Corey] Well, listen, the one thing we know for sure is that
there is no issue between the Meta Girls.
Jakara Jackson, Lash Legend
have been firing on all cylinders for months now,
taking the WWE women's tag team champions to the limit
-on multiple occasions. -[bell dings]
In fact, we haven't seen Bianca and Naomi since down here in NXT.
[Vic] Well, that is a great point.
We also know that they will defend those titles next Monday on RAW
against Morgan and Rodriguez.
And it's also a great point that we've talked about.
[Corey] Look at this. Just stuffed.
[Vic] Some people have called out the Meta Girls for that performance.
They had quite the match-up against the champions.
[Booker] The Meta Girls has been stepping up day by day, week by week.
And trust me, these two right here, these two teams,
they're no stranger to each other. They've met before.
And what happened last time?
Lash Legend, Jakara Jackson, came out on top.
[Corey] But chemistry is the name of the game in tag teams, Book.
You know as well as anybody. Cover by Jakara.
[Vic] Hook of leg, and Sol able to kick out.
[Corey] And you look in this match-up.
We know the Meta Girls are on the same exact page.
Two women who work together constantly.
Then you've got Zaria and Sol,
who are still trying to find a rhythm, trying to develop chemistry.
And that's not easy.
[Vic] That's a very good point.
Sol showing you some of that athleticism.
-[Booker] Oh! -[Vic] Nice! My word! Wow!
And there's been a few things tonight that have happened in the ring
that has raised all of our eyebrows.
Some of the actual natural athleticism that the women in NXT can showcase.
And, Booker, all four of these women,
they have to see the landscape changing here on NXT.
[Booker] The thing is, the landscape is changing in the singles division.
But the tag team division, Victor, is wide open, and I think that's why--
Oh-oh! Zaria and Sol Ruca is trying to make this run right now.
[Vic] Talking about a busy night for our general manager, Ava.
I can… confirm this matchup is official.
Andre Chase, Eddy Thorpe, it's going down tonight.
And right now, all four of these women are slugging it out.
[Corey] It is breaking down in a hurry in the middle of the ring,
all four women throwing hands.
-And look at these two powerhouses. -[Vic] Whoa!
Anything you can do…
[Booker] Can she do that? Can she do that?
I don't know what-- Wow!
[Vic] …I can do better.
Stalemate here on NXT.
[Booker] Love it, man.
[Vic] Two of the strongest, most powerful women
staring eye to eye-- Big head butt.
…for a moment. And look at Ruca.
[Corey] Ruca, no match for the power of Lash Legend.
[Vic] Uh-oh. Second timed it.
Nasty landing for both.
Here comes Jakara, a missile dropkick connects.
[Corey] Right on the money, sending Zaria to the outside.
[Vic] And you knew these two teams were going to bring it here tonight
after all the back and forth.
And there goes Jakara to the outside, wiping out the field.
It's the Meta Girls standing tall.
Will they walk out with the victory here as NXT continues to roll on?
[Vic] It has been all the Meta Girls over the last few moments.
One of these teams is going to have some bragging rights
when NXT live is on the road,
Fort Pierce on Friday, Saturday night, Sebring, Florida.
And Lash just dropping Sol quickly.
And we talk about everything that's going on tonight.
We got to say congratulations to Roxanne Perez,
-who qualified for the women's-- -[Booker] My girl. My girl.
Went out and did it in grand fashion.
No one thought she could do it.
I'm gonna tell you right now, that's just the tip of the iceberg of Roxanne Perez.
Oh, yes, man!
[Vic] March 1st, Road to WrestleMania goes through Toronto.
But a big clothesline.
Missed, and then flying through the air is Sol Ruca.
And this now is that opportunity Sol's been waiting for.
[Booker] Let me tell you something, if I could give Sol Ruca any advice,
that would be let Zaria be Zaria.
She's a powerhouse, man, and here she comes.
[Vic] Tags are made.
And in comes the powerhouse, Zaria,
wiping down the field, taking out the Meta Girls.
-Oh! -[Corey] Crushing Jackson in the corner.
Zaria is a wrecking machine, no doubt about it.
[Booker] She's a wrecking ball, man.
[Vic] She certainly is. And look, it was Zaria who came to the aid of Sol.
[Corey] Oh, no!
[Vic] Stood for her partner, miscommunication.
And right now--
-[Booker] Whoa! -[Corey] Entering the zone of destruction.
[Vic] Zaria with that massive spear.
[Booker] Just ran right through Lash Legend.
[Vic] You can say that again.
And now-- Oh, big suplex by Zaria.
Into the cover, hook of the leg. Is it enough?
That… that… Credit is due, though.
Jakara Jackson-- Bang!
Look at the impact from that spear.
That's one way to take Lash Legend off her feet.
[Corey] Zaria nearly cutting
-last legend in half. -[Vic] Tag.
[Corey] Sol Ruca now leading for her team.
Great jawbreaker by Jakara Jackson.
[Vic] Superkick connecting not once, but twice.
A little German suplex-- Assisted superkick.
[Vic] Lash Can't get back to her feet. Sol Ruca is legal.
Falling into the cover. Hook of the leg.
Pump kick breaks it up! Nice job by Lash.
Presence of mind, great ring awareness.
And all four of these women are down, here on NXT.
[Corey] Lash Legend dragging Jakara back to the Meta corner to make the tag.
That's a veteran move.
Lash Legend, who was in this year's Women's Royal Rumble match-up,
looking for a big Chokeslam. Countered, though, by Sol Ruca.
Ruca coming right back in, going up,
taking Lash off her feet!
-[Booker T] Sol Luca, oh, here we… No. -[Vic] Was looking to snatch a soul,
instead just got caught.
Having to change gameplans a little bit, flying through the air.
-And Lash, so strong, so powerful. -[Booker T laughing]
Hoisting up Sol Ruca, and… Whoa!
Looking to bend the… And it was countered!
[Corey] Great counter!
[Vic] Nice job by Sol. Another nice dropkick rocking Lash.
Back to Lash's corner, though. Jakara was able to tag in.
Wise of Sol to also make the tag.
[Corey] Now, Ms. Jackson is outnumbered two to one
-by Sol and Zaria. -[Vic] Throwing some hands.
Couple of uppercuts. Big kick, followed up with a DDT!
-[Booker T] Man! -[Vic] She may be outnumbered,
-but she's going to work. -[Corey] Cover! Count!
[Vic] Oh, a near fall. Zaria able to get that right shoulder off the mat.
[Booker T] Think that's just the experience factor
coming into play late in the game right now.
We are in those deep, deep waters, man!
[Vic] You can say that again. And look, they've been in the deep waters.
They're battle-tested. That being The Meta Girls.
But right now, Zaria trying her best to fight free.
Big, stinging right hand.
And this is the showdown we've been waiting for.
[Booker T] I'm waiting in line, man.
[Corey] Dueling pump kicks! Both connect! Both women down!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] We have some breaking news again. Our general manager's been busy.
That Six-Woman Tag Team Match, it's official!
Vaquer, Julia, and Jordynne Grace against Fatal Influence.
-[Corey] Absolutely huge news tonight! -[Booker T] You can't be mad.
[Vic] What a night it has been since the beginning.
[Corey] Look at this. Both women with a grasp on one another's throat.
I don't know who got worse for wear. Both women still standing.
Coming right back inside and trying to power up Lash Legend.
[Vic] Lash able to slide down the back. Tag was made.
Lash making her way to the outside 'cause Jakara is legal. And… Whoa!
[Corey] Gotta love the quick tags from The Meta Girls,
but that backfired in spectacular fashion! Another big spear!
And, again, we're entering that zone!
And Zaria just obliterated Jakara Jackson!
Tag was made.
Look who's legal, and look who's snatching a soul!
-[crowd cheering] -[Booker T] Wow!
[crowd] One! Two! Three!
[Vic] Big tag team win!
-["Chasing Surf" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Here are your winners, the team of Zaria
and Sol Ruca!
[Corey] Who knew, Book? Maybe skateboards and ice cream
is the recipe for success in the tag team division.
Or maybe it was that thunderous spear,
followed up by Jakara being launched into orbit.
-[Vic chuckles] You can say that again. -[Corey] Tag made.
Soul snatched! The Soul Snatcher by Sol Luca in a massive win
for Ruca and Zaria!
[Vic] Maybe, just maybe. these two
are starting to click here on NXT.
["Chasing Surf" continues playing]
Excuse me, Wes Lee, Tyson, Tyriek.
The landscape of NXT has drastically changed
the last seven days. I know, Wes, you've seen a shift in this brand before
in your career here at NXT.
Sarah, look, it's no secret, NXT is completely unpredictable.
Anything can happen to anyone at any time around here.
So-and-so shows up out of nowhere.
So-and-so happens to be jumping somebody in the parking lot.
Look, the unpredictability around here falls perfectly
into all three of our hands, though.
-So when it's our time to start throwing-- -Excuse me, you guys. I'll be right back.
Hi, there!
In just a moment, you will sign your WWE NXT contract.
[indistinct chatter]
Nice to meet you, Sarah.
And it feels really good to hear the words "WWE NXT contract."
And I know you have a lot of questions,
and I'm gonna answer that for you here in a few minutes.
Nice jacket.
[Vic] Well, what a moment that will be.
We're gonna be live in Cincinnati next week.
But we are live in the City Beautiful, back in Orlando,
home of the WWE Performance Center.
♪ A million dollars from now ♪
-["Undeniable" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Well, guys, we've been waiting for this moment…
all week long. There is our general manager, Ava.
[crowd chanting] Ava! Ava! Ava!
[Vic] Coming out here right now. I mean, it has been a busy night
for Ava since the beginning.
♪ A million dollars from now I won't remember you ♪
♪ Soon as I land They come with a bag ♪
[Vic] And there is the man that shocked the world!
[crowd cheering]
Standing ovation,
because we are all about to be part of history.

Ladies and gentlemen, the hottest free agent

-Welcome to NXT. -[crowd cheering]
That's me.
Thank you. Thank you, Ava. I appreciate it.
I wanna say, I haven't been here for too long,
but, man, NXT is amazing.
[crowd cheering]
And before I get started, before I sign,
can I talk to y'all for a minute?
Because there are some things I'd like to get off my chest.
[crowd cheering]
People talk about making it in NXT is the dream.
But oh, no, no, no, no! For me, it's reality.
Standing right here is reality!
[crowd cheering]
Main evening every NXT PLE, that's reality!
[crowd cheering]
Winning the NXT Championship, that's reality, baby!
[crowd cheering]
And the absolute truth about all of this
is that I am the man in NXT!
[crowd cheering]
And I am going to do what I do always to the best of my ability,
that's show up and show out,
because right now, the revolution begins!
[crowd cheering]
So, let's go ahead and get this pin to--
["With A Smile" playing]
[Vic laughing]
Wow, wow, wow!
I am absolutely impressed.
I'm impressed.
You shocked the world appearing in NXT.
And now, you're standing in the middle of an NXT ring,
about to sign your NXT contract.
Let me guess,
in that contract somewhere it says
that your first match here will be for an NXT championship, right?
Dude, you're a genius,
an actual genius.
You are following the Ethan Page playbook to a T.
But I wanted to come out here as your friend to tell you face-to-face.
There's only one Ethan Page, pal…
and he's right here.
Wow. [chuckles softly]
I really got you in your feelings, huh?
That's crazy.
-No. -Is it because that I showed up
and you know that the spotlight ain't big enough for the both of us?
Is that what it is?
I agree with that.
Because I can tell you
you're wearing your insecurity as tight as you got that jacket on.
[crowd cheering]
And you should know me well enough, my man,
that I walk the walk and I talk the talk,
and I'm here to take this place to a whole another level.
Oh, you're gonna take this place to another level, huh?
As big of a superstar as you are,
even you won't be able to reach the bar that I set
for people coming into NXT.
Well, listen, I…
I don't think we should be doing this right now.
Right now is the time for celebration, man.
Me, celebrating the fact
that I'm signing with the hottest pro wrestling brand right now.
And you…
You, Ethan! Oh, my God! You did it!
Your big victory over Je'Von on Vengeance Day.
Go you! Go you, man.
[crowd cheering]
We should be celebrating that because here's one thing I know.
Je'Von showed that he got that dog in him,
and one thing is this.
People like Je'Von always come back around to whoop that ass.
[crowd cheering]
Look, everybody,
another superstar coming to the rescue of Je'Von Evans.
I'm pretty sure Je'Von couldn't walk himself…
out of the venue, Saturday.
-And if I was a betting man, which I am-- -[crowd cheering]
Oh! He about to eat!
-[Vic] Whoa! -[Corey] And he is here!
[Vic] Je'Von!
The innocence has certainly gone!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
[Booker T] Whoa! back it up.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Hit him harder!
[imperceptible]
[Vic] Ooh!
[imperceptible]
[man] Let's go, Ricky!
Well, I wasn't wrong.
So back to what I was about to do before I got interrupted.
[theme music playing]
[Vic] Oh, come on!
Hey, cut the music.
Cut my music. Cut my music.
Look, I know who you are.
Now, you're also new around here,
so I'mma give you a pass for what happened earlier.
But you have got to understand
that there are some rules around here, dawg.
And the number one rule is…
you don't disrespect Wes Lee. All right?
Now, signing this contract might be a good idea,
but, Ava, if he does,
know that I wanna be the first one to show him the ropes around here
and welcome him to NXT.
If that's something that you want, then we can certainly make that happen.
What's up? Is everybody around here always angry all the time?
What is this?
I'm not angry, dawg. I'm letting you know this is a promise.
That's just the way it's gonna be.
So go ahead and sign the contract.
Either way, you and Ethan,
y'all are… y'all are two peas of the same pod.
You're always talking above your limit.
So let me tell you this.
I'mma do one better, actually.
Next week, you and I. How about that?
Just sign the contract, dawg.
Just sign the contract.
But just know that this is gonna be a "one and done."
I'mma give you this spare warning, my man.
Next week, you are going to be welcomed to the revolution.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd gasping]
[Corey] Wes Lee got caught and sent to the outside.
[Vic] Certainly got beat to the punch,
and, finally, finally…
pen to paper.
[theme music playing]
Ricky Saints is NXT!
Nathan and Axiom, congratulations on once again successfully defending
the NXT tag team championships
this past Saturday.
But I do have to ask about what happened after the match.
-You both were attacked by-- -Yeah, yeah, yeah, by four newbies
who wanna try and take a shot at the best tag team.
-I swear-- -[speaking other language]
[in English] Please forgive him, Sarah.
We are still trying to figure out why and what all that was about
-'cause we don't know-- -And the next time we see them--
[clapping]
Congrats on Saturday, champs.
Well, thank you.
Well, we greatly appreciate that, but…
come on, we know why you're here.
And just like we told Briggs and Inamura,
just because you want a Tag team title match,
that doesn't mean you get one.
-So… -Well, this is awkward.
[imperceptible]
You see, we're chasing gold,
and it's not gonna be the ones that are on your shoulders.
We wanna face, in our opinion,
-the best tag team in the world… -Yeah, well--
possibly of all time.
Bring that camera here 'cause I wanna make this crystal clear.
Myles and I are calling out Matt and Jeff, The Hardy Boyz,
the TNA Tag team champions.
Hey!
-What do you say next week, Cincinnati? -I love it.
Let's make it happen.
[Corey] Are you kidding me?
Did No Quarter Catch Crew just challenge the Hardys?
[Vic] Unbelievable.
[automated voice] Bringing it to light.
[theme music playing]
[bell dinging]
[Mike] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first from Niagara Falls, weighing in at 223 pounds,
Shawn Spears!
[Vic] As we try to digest that huge news,
Graves, let's go back to last week here on NXT.
[Corey] In the wake steel cage match,
this diabolical crew laying waste to everybody.
Moments after Izzi Dame betrayed Tony D'Angelo,
Shawn Spears would try to finish the job.
From what I understand,
we haven't heard from Don since then.
[Vic] Stacks, Spears, it's next.
It's live on NXT.
[theme song playing]
[man] Who was that?
-You all right? -No, man.
You okay?
You all right? You good? It's okay.
It's doing something, I'll tell you that much.
Damn, this place is crazy.
[Vic] He better not go to the parking lot.
[Booker T] He good. He's driving.
[Vic] You know, we have to assume…
that, that mystery quartet is somewhere.
[ring announcer] Please welcome,
the underboss of NXT
Channing Stacks Lorenzo!
[bell ringing]
[Vic] And he's wasting no time,
these two starting to slug it out after they exchanged fire last week.
We saw it before the break.
Steel Cage main event for North American Championship.
It was Izzi Dame who turned her back on the family.
The Don locked in the cage.
And nobody could even get in to help Tony D'Angelo
and then Shawn Spears and his--
[Booker T] Can I just break you a second? Tony D got played, man.
That's what happened. Tony D got played in that situation.
Come on. You got to agree with me.
[Vic] It's hard to argue with you.
Now it's up to Stacks to restore the honor to the family.
[Vic] Well, I also wanna notice, is that I look to my left and right,
Ava has actually sent out some extra security.
One would assume, because of what just transpired a few moments ago.
Here's a cover. Stacks hooks the leg on Spears.
And a kickout.
[Corey] If he wasn't able to be contained in a steel cage,
I don't know what a couple of security guards will do
but either way, Stacks is a man on a mission right now.
[Vic] And the family needs the Underboss to remind everyone, what he's made of.
It was Stacks who schemed to get the Don out.
His loyalty is unmatched.
[Booker T] After Stacks, callin' his own shot,
I can tell you this, it's so hard to break out.
[all exclaim]
[Booker T] That was a big shot by Shawn Spears.
[Corey] I love this!
[Vic] Even more security has made their way out here
after everything going down tonight,
Ava making sure nothing else goes wrong.
And a big DDT from Shawn Spears.
[Booker T] He's going to work right now, man.
I love everything about Shawn Spears.
How he's calculated every move getting to this point right here.
Has formed a hell of a group as well.
[Vic] Graves, look how unique these knee strikes are.
I don't know how he continues to recruit.
[Corey] I've known Shawn Spears probably close to 20 years.
The man has charisma oozing from his pores.
It might be…
[Vic] Cover here. And a kickout.
That certainly was a rude awakening for Stacks, no doubt.
Stacks favoring his neck at this juncture of the matches.
Didn't mean to cut you off.
[Corey] Spears' motivations may be questionable or downright indiscernible
but the fact is Shawn Spears is a charismatic individual.
[Booker T] Yeah, he is.
You've got Izzi, you've got Niko…
[Vic] Yeah, I mean he's a conniving individual that's for sure.
[Booker T] Come on, man! Give the guy some props.
Just like Spears, he's like the GPS.
Look at Brooks Jensen. The guy's totally reborn.
Come on, give him that.
[Vic] Another big knee, and look, the trust of the innocent
is the liar's most useful tool.
And Shawn Spears now going right back in
and instead of going for the cover, you know what he's doing
he's sending a message to one man. To the man who's not here.
To the man who was beaten down by a crowbar
thanks to Izzi Dame last week in a steel cage.
[Booker T] The Don's gotta be pretty embarrassed
you know, putting himself in that position right then
by one of them lovely ladies. He got played, man!
And I hate that for him. I hate it.
[Vic] Just stepping on the back of Stacks--
[Booker T] Come on, Vic! You had girlfriends who left you many, many times.
You know what it's like to be stabbed in the back, come on.
[Vic] If you can stay out of my personal life, I'd appreciate that, Book.
[Corey chuckling]
[Vic] You thought that was funny too, Graves.
Graves is chuckling.
As Spears tries to turn around--
He just realized Stacks didn't go all the way down.
Stacks is starting to fight again and this is Stacks that we know.
This is the Underboss that we've come to find.
[all exclaiming]
Rock the jaw of Spears and Stacks immediately grasping at his neck.
Still feeling the effects of Shawn Spears's attack.
And things are about to blow all over on the outside!
Let's not forget, it was Izzi who took out
Rizzo last week in the cage.
And now once again trying to fight back.
Stacks to his feet, swinging away on Spears.
Going to the body.
Big kick enzuigiri rocking Spears.
And somehow pulled himself up.
Stacks charging in!
Feeling the effects but blocking the pain.
Massive spinebuster.
Oh! Taken off his feet for a moment.
Could be a little off but trying to get back to a vertical base.
Not only that, Stacks… climbing.
Looking to fly, fighting for the family.
Fighting for The Don.
The Underboss with a big dropkick but he landed on his back.
Snapping his neck.
[Corey] Stacks might've unintentionally taken a little bit more out of himself
but he's still trying to move forward has…
Spears hooked. Great counter by Shawn…
-[all exclaim] -[Vic] That'll do it.
Goodbye neck.
Spears knows where the bullseye is, he knows where the target is at.
[Corey] Shawn Spears can be absolutely diabolical when he needs to be.
You can say that again. As dangerous as they come.
And a C4 connects at the center of the ring.
[crowd] One, two, three!
-[Vic] Shawn Spears victorious. -[bell ringing]
[ring announcer] Here is your winner,
Shawn Spears!
[Vic] You wanna know why Shawn Spears Shawn Spears has so many followers?
[Corey] It's leading by example.
It wasn't pretty but it was extremely effective.
C4 and Shawn Spears
has disposed of Stacks
just like he and company did to The Don last week.
[Vic] Have to wonder what's going through the mind of The Don.
But Shawn Spears certainly did lead by example here tonight.
Moose.
Lexis King, nice to meet you.
Of course, you probably already know who I am
since I just beat the crap out of your buddy JDC last week.
I mean, you know what? I gotta give it to you.
The way you went up there and stood up to Oba Femi,
I mean, man, you have some big balls in this system.
Man, what is it, "Trust the system."
You know what, I would love to.
But I don't trust the way you guys are coming over here,
challenging us for our titles,
but yet I don't see you putting your X Division title on the line.
-And it's-- -Hey, hey. Stop right there,
'cause I'm tired of listening to this nonsense.
I don't know how you do things here
but if you want a shot,
at my X Division Championship, all you have to do is ask.
And since that's what you want,
next week I will destroy you just like I've done to everyone else.
Really? That's all it took?
You're gonna put the most prestigious title in TNA history,
the X Division Championship, on the line,
in my hometown, where I'm undefeated?
-Damn right. -You are on, Moose.
Why are you guys speaking on my behalf?
'Cause Eddy was dirtying all over the great Chase's name.
We obviously couldn't let him do that.
-He was? -Yes.
-That no good -- -That's it. That's it, right there.
-The old Mr. Chase. -That's what we need.
And we're gonna be with you the entire time.
Guys, what am I even talking about?
Chase U is dead.
I've gotta do this on my own.
Oh, my…
[Vic] Andre Chase fired up.
But how about what we heard before that?
Lexis King and Moose…
What a night.
[bell dinging]
[Mike] The following contest is scheduled for One Fall.
Introducing first, from Draper, North Carolina
weighing in at 222 pounds,
Andre Chase!
[Vic] I was going to say, what a night it has been.
But Andre Chase does not look like the same Andre Chase
we're used to seeing.
Chase takes on Eddy Thorpe…
Why are you laughing?
This match next.
[fanfare playing]
[Vic] What are you still laughing about?
[Booker T] Look at Mr. Chase.
He must have got that from your local Goodwill.
Come on, man.
[horn blaring]
[Vic] He's fallen on hard times, Book.
[rousing music playing]
[Booker T] And his opponent, from Reno, Nevada,
weighing in at 223 pounds,
Eddy Thorpe!
[Vic] You know your joke's good
when you're still laughing about it 30 seconds later.
Let's talk about Eddy Thorpe because he's talking about hard times.
Eddy Thorpe's all smiles, Graves, because this man, got to admit,
passed the biggest challenge to date this past Saturday at Strap Match.
Does he deserve another title opportunity
which he said he did?
[Corey] Absolutely, Eddy Thorpe does,
and you don't have to like how Eddy Thorpe has built this momentum.
You don't have to like how Eddy Thorpe arrived at the PLE this past Saturday.
But you have to respect the fact that Eddy Thorpe got to where he wants to be.
This is a guy with a very bright future,
and unfortunately for Mr. Chase, he's standing in the way.
[Booker T] Shouldn't even be a question.
Eddy Thorpe has earned everything that he's got.
Nobody's giving it to him, Vic. Nobody.
[Vic] Certainly, I have to admit,
after what we saw this weekend, you can't take anything away.
If you just look up at his back, you can still see some of the welts.
Now we're left by that leather strap and Andre Chase in control.
But what a night this has been.
Huge six-woman main event tag team match still to come, and again,
Corey, Hardy Boyz challenged by the NQCC.
Moose, he was challenged by Lexis King.
[Corey] No doubt Ava's gonna have her hands full
over the next seven nights, but Cincinnati is gonna be awful.
The chart's insane.
But right now, Eddy Thorpe just having his way
with Mr. Chase for the moment.
[Vic] It warms the NXT universe hearts to see Andre Chase back in the ring.
-[Corey] Does it, though? -[Vic] It does,
'cause it's the most beloved University of all time.
[Corey] Mr. Chase reminds me of a teacher I had in high school
who was always trying to hang out in the student section
at the football game. It was a little too much.
Mr. Trivelliante was his name.
He made us call him Mr. T.
Really creepy guy.
Didn't even say my last name right.
[Booker T] I'm trying to get over these generic tennis shoes.
[commentators laughing]
[Corey] Those are Tino Jordans.
[Booker T] Oh! There's a Tino Jordan right under here.
[Vic] Whatever it was, it was effective. And he flies through the air.
It can be name brand, it can be generic, it's getting the job done
for Andre Chase here tonight!
I think the kids called them dupes.
[commentators laughing]
[Vic] Andre Chase trying to get Eddy Thorpe back into the ring.
A win here could certainly boost enrollment numbers.
[Corey] You took the words right out of my mouth.
As much as we're having right now, Andre Chase,
if he's able to knock off Thorpe, he could find himself
right back on the winning path in NXT.
[Vic] Charging right back in, ducking the clothesline…
Oh!
Just got caught though, Andre Chase, and you know, Booker,
Andre Chase will try and protect his students
is able to get that left shoulder up.
[Booker T] Is that a trick question?
This is the same guy who gambled the damn University away.
The same guy, right?
[Vic] Look! His students are here.
They're showing him love.
[Corey] Students are only a bunch of miscreants.
They're just part of the crowd.
[Booker T] It's two damn students.
[Vic] It only takes one, Book. It only takes one.
The momentum is back for Chase U! Listen to this place!
-[crowd chanting] Let's go Chase! -[Corey] You're sick.
[crowd] Let's go, Chase! Let's go, Chase!
[Chase] I don't know what Mr. Chase intends on teaching these guys.
[Vic] I'll tell you what, that was in Chase University, doing another cover
off that swift kick, hooking the leg and a kick out.
Eddy Thorpe was not impressed with Chase University,
he did not want a deejay in the quad,
did not wanna come out of retirement for that,
coming off the biggest victory of his career.
[Booker T] Talk about impress, let's talk about how impressive Eddy Thorpe was
in Vengeance Day. Biggest win of his career over Trick Williams.
Give him some props. Put some respect on Eddy Thorpe's name.
[Vic] That Strap Match was as brutal as we thought it would be.
As Thorpe looking over at the Chase U Student section.
[Corey] Eddy Thorpe continuing to gain confidence. Uh-oh!
[Vic] He got thrown!
[Corey] I don't know where Chase is getting it from,
but Andre's hanging in this fight.
[Vic] It didn't sit initially…
[crowd] Chase U! Chase U! Chase U!
-Come on! -You got it, Chase!
[Vic] Chase U, the studes are here.
They're trying to rally behind Andre Chase.
[Corey] Students of what?
[Vic] Chase U! You see it on their shirts.
[Booker T] There is no damn Chase U.
[Vic] You got glasses on. Read those shirts.
Chase now into the cover!
Get the win!
Oh, man!
That was close.
[Corey] I don't know what Andre Chase's credentials are
to have any sort of university--
[Vic] If this guy ever had a clever thought, it died alone and afraid.
Mark my words.
Ooh. Oof.
Combination offense.
Almost buckled the knees,
sidestep for a second big right hand from Chase.
And this is the Andre Chase of old. He's coming right back.
Russian leg sweep!
You know what's next?
Get on your feet, wherever you are around the world!
[crowd cheering]
[Booker T] Let's see if he can finish the job.
Let's see if he can finish the job.
[Vic] See!
[crowd yelling]
He got the crowd to spell his own name.
I don't think that's it. I--
Oh!
Thorne from behind!
Rippin' at the hair!
Into the cover and a kickout.
Andre Chase, you can see he's torn.
-[Booker T laughs] -[Vic] Big German suplex.
[Booker T] He's something.
[Vic] Picked up and dropped again, Impaler style.
Into the cover goes Eddy Thorpe,
-and Thorpe takes advantage. -[bell dings]
Thorpe with another victory.
[Mike] Here is your winner, Eddy Thorpe!
[Vic] Chase U, the student body,
they're trying to get the old Andre Chase back.
But right here you can see it just wasn't in his kit.
[Corey] Never takes your eyes off someone as dangerous as Eddie Thorpe.
That's a lesson Andre Chase himself just learned firsthand.
Eddy Thorpe continues to gain momentum and carve out his own path in NXT.
[Vic] Operating at the highest level with a dangerous look in his eye.
[man] Eddy Thorpe.
Eddy Thorpe.
You thought you was done with Trick Williams?
You got it twisted.
It ain't over till I say it's over.
And if I'm going down,
I'm bringing you under with me.
When? Huh?
Where you at?
[Vic] What's that even supposed to mean?
[Corey] It means Trick Williams has some unfinished business with Mr. Thorpe.
-[crowd chanting] Whoop that trick! -[Booker T] That's right.
[Vic] What a night it has been and what a main event we have.
These six women went toe-to-toe earlier tonight.
They're going to settle into the ring.
Six women tag team matches, coming your way live, on NXT.
[upbeat music playing]
Segue me into the fact that I don't know how you deal with the chaos around here.
It's insane.
I know, but it comes with the territory. Eventually, you'll just get used to it.
I really feel like I'm gonna fit in here.
Oh, my God!
-What? -I'm not worried about you.
I know exactly what you are doing.
I'm worried about Je'von.
-Okay. -I thought I was done with him.
[chuckles] Not after he whooped your ass tonight.
I don't think so.
Oh, another one.
Yeah, man. It's easy for you to walk here
talking to Big Game when you ain't been here since day one.
Let me tell you. If you feel some type of way…
-Matter of fact, I do. -…we can go ahead.
-[indistinct shouting] -Hey, no!
We're not doing this here.
-Relax, we're not doing this. -[all clamoring]
Stop!
No, stop!
-I got issues with him. -Stop! Listen to me.
Look, Ricky, you said you wanted to be part of this.
Okay, easy fix.
Next week Cincinnati, tag match.
You two, against you two.
-Everyone happy? -[chuckles] Yeah.
-As long as I get my hands on him. -[all shouting]
I did not expect to tune into NXT program tonight
and hear our names called out on it.
Much less challenged to a match.
But I can tell you, No Quarter Cath Crew,
I'm very flattered that you had the Hardys on your mind tonight.
Should we accept the challenge?
Of course we should accept that challenge.
We're the TNA World Tag Team Champions, man.
And it's 2025.
We are still innovating. We are still influencing,
We're still inspiring. We're still modifying the craft
of pro wrestling.
How's that for an axiom, Fraxiom?
Fraxiom, why don't you pull up a front row seat,
and watch us beat the No Quarter Catch Crew
after a plot twist, a twist of fate, a Swanton,
You'll realize why we are the greatest tag team
in all space and time.
The best! The GOATs.
And people always wonder what's next?
What's next?
Maybe it's the Hardy party at NXT.
[crowd cheering]
-[Vic] Absolutely unreal. -[upbeat music playing]
And don't adjust your picture.
The challenge was issued, it's accepted.
The NQCC will face the TNA World Tag Team Champions,
Matt, Jeff, the Hardy Boyz.
With Axiom, Frazer watching which team walks out victorious.
[Corey] At Vengeance Day, we crowned a brand new
NXT Women's North American Champion, Stephanie Vaquer.
She will make her first defense against Karmen Petrovic.
[Vic] NXT is certainly the place everyone wants to be,
including the TNA X-Division Champion, Moose who will face Lexis King.
Can the Heritage Cup Champion, take out another member of the system?
If he does, King could be a double champion.
TNA X-Division Championship, online, live in Cincinnati.
[Corey] And we just learned moments ago,
it has been made official per Ava.
Ethan Page and Wes Lee will join forces
to battle Je'von Evans and Ricky Saints
in tag team action on NXT.
[Vic] But, guys, it's main event time right here on NXT.
[whooshing]
[electricity crackling]
[crowd cheering]
[rock music playing]
[crowd continues cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Mike] The following contest is a six-woman tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from San Fernando, Chile.
She is the new NXT Women's
North American Champion,
Stephanie Vaquer!
[Vic] On X, Triple H posted about Vaquer,
talking about her work ethic, and noted "the sky is the limit."
[Mike] Next, from Austin, Texas,
Jordan Grace!
[Vic] We know how excited The Game has been about
the arrival of Jordan Grace to WWE.
An incredible performance at this year's Royal Rumble match.
Jordan Grace, looking to stake her claim in the best women's division in wrestling,
starting tonight.
[ethereal music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Mike] And their tag team partner,
from Tokyo, Japan.
She is the NXT Women's Champion,
Giulia!
[Vic] As Booker, you would say, "Buckle up!"
It's a news-worthy NXT,
and it's got a mighty six-women main event tag team match-up.
It's live, it's next on NXT.
[rock music playing]
[Mike] And their opponents
Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx, and Fallon Henley.
Fatal Influence!
[Vic] And we see Fatal Influence but how about the Trios?
-[Booker T] Yes! -[Vic] Jordan Grace, Vaquer, and Giulia.
[Booker T] Come on, Vic. We're talking about Jacy Jayne right now.
The rockstar. We're talking about Fallon Henley,
as well as the N-Y-X. [indistinct]
The three birds.
And we see the Trio as cohesive as these three right here, man.
Oh, yeah. I'm loving it.
[Vic] Did you hear what you said?
-[Corey] New name? -[doorbell ringing]
[Booker T] Cohesive as a unit. As a unit.
I'm talking about three that's thinking the same way
-[Vic] Whoa! The New Day. -[Booker T] What you talking about?
-[Booker T] The hell with the New Day. -[Vic laughing]
And Vaquer there with Fallon Henley.
And of course these two met this-- No.
[indistinct]
I was gonna give Booker his opportunity.
[overlapping]
[Booker T] Like I said. It works like a unit.
These three right here. I'm telling you, man.
They're on the rise. They're gonna take over NXT,
before it's all over. I said it since day one.
-[Vic] Booker, I agree with you. -[Booker T] Thank you.
[overlapping, yelling]
[Corey] Right now, certainly living up to the hype
provided by Booker T.
-[Booker T laughs] -[Vic] And there's Jazmyn Nyx.
I was getting ready to say, Stephanie Vaquer, Fallon Henley
started this match-up out.
Of course, it was Vaquer who defeated Henley
for the Women's North American championship.
This past weekend. Sold out Washington D.C.
[crowd exclaiming]
We still have our first defense
of her NXT North American Women's Title against Karmen Petrovich,
when we're live in Cincinnati.
But here comes Giulia.
[Corey] The beautiful madness who retained her championship
in a fatal four-way at Vengeance Day.
An incredible effort by all four women.
But Giulia reminding the world why she is who she said she is.
[Vic] What did Giulia prove the world, truthfully, on Saturday?
[Corey] I think a lot of people who may have been unfamiliar
with Giulia's game, particularly when you're in the ring
with people like Bayley, like Roxanne Perez,
and even Cora Jade.
Those are very well-known superstars.
And Giulia beat them all.
Decisively. That makes an impact.
[Vic] And now, talking about decisive,
look at this!
-[crowd cheering] -Nice.
Northern Lights suplex.
-Into a-- -[Booker T] Ooh, kick out.
[Vic] Nyx's able to kick out for the moment.
Giulia now just dragging back over.
Tag was made, and in comes Jordan Grace.
Booker, Grace's first official entering appearance on NXT,
a WWE superstar.
You've always spoke so highly of her abilities.
[Booker T] I love everything about Jordan Grace, as well as--
-[all exclaiming] -[Corey] Reversed Alabama slam.
-[all] Boom! -[Corey] A German suplex.
Nyx, getting outta there.
Grace saying, "Who wants some? Come get some."
What do you say about your mama and whooping?
[Booker T] Big enough to pass one, big enough to take one.
[Vic speaking indistinctly]
-That was a big shot. -[Vic] Your rock star just checked in.
-She may sing… -[Booker T] Come on!
…a different tune in a moment.
Uff! Big right hand by Jacy connects.
Grace earlier said she wanted to come to NXT
after competing in the Royal Rumble.
Coming to the WWE,
she wanted to come, 'cause she wanted to compete…
-[Booker T] Come on! That's it! -…on the women's division.
And she almost had her return here spoiled.
Rolling right through, shoulders out one more time.
Unique pinning predicament.
Another kick out. Rolling right through.
And look at the strike of the Juggernaut.
My goodness. Fatal Influence!
[Corey] Otherworldly power.
[Booker T] See what I'm saying? Great teamwork.
-Great teamwork. -[Vic] A little bit of a stalemate,
a little bit of a standoff between these six women.
-[Corey] There we go. -[Booker T] Fight just broke out.
[Vic] And Fatal Influence been in a bad mood all night long.
And it really popped off after Karmen Petrovic
earned the right to be the number one contender
of the women's North American title.
[Corey] Fatal Influence could--
Oh! Could be upset all they want.
Petrovic earned the right to be the next challenger
to Stephanie Vaquer next week in Cincinnati.
[Vic] There goes your rock star.
Don't think we'll be having any encores here tonight, Book.
Fatal Influence wiped out.
-Look who's saying-- No. -[Booker T] She's not gonna do it.
She's not gonna do that.
There's no way!
[Vic] Juggernaut flying through the air.
Grace, Vaquer, Giulia in control.
[Booker T] They're having a good time right now.
They're having a nice little party.
-[Corey] Cover here by grace. -[Vic] Hookin' the leg in.
Jacy just having to kick out.
Made her intentions known as to why she came here to NXT.
You have to be thinking her intentions.
[Corey] Oh, my God!
[Vic] Just to join the greatest women's division in the world.
It was also to become a champion while she's teaming,
with the women's champion who's on the outside.
The women's North American champion on the inside just got ripped out.
[Booker T] Vic, you said Jordynne Grace
came here for one thing, and that's to become champion.
And she's tagging with two of the champions right now.
You know what that means?
-That's the time to get it-- -[Vic] Hold on.
[Booker T] Whoa! Whoa!
Ah!
Ah! Ah!
Yeah!
[Booker T laughs]
[Vic] You all right?
[Booker T] Now, back to my point.
Giulia, Vaquer--
[Vic] Oh! Landed that-- Oh, looking for the fake kick.
And Jayne right to the side of the face
with a little extra oomph!
[Booker T] You got to love it.
[Vic] Which team is walking out victorious here on NXT?
…and have that title!
[Vic] Jacy Jayne, now in complete control of the women's North American champion.
[Corey] The goddesses of hostility who certainly picked their spot here tonight
find themselves in this massive main event here on NXT.
The universe trying to rally Stephanie Vaquer.
Our brand new women's North American champion, will have her first defense
against Karmen Petrovic, in Cincinnati.
Great reversal by Vaquer.
Here she comes. Nice dropkick. Down goes Jacy.
[Vic] Bit of a cramp in this match.
And right now, for Vaquer, she's got to find a way
to negotiate her way over the corner.
Nice cover, shoulders down. Fixed style and a near fall.
[Booker T] Vaquer should've made a tag right there.
She put herself in a bad position, put her team in a bad position right here as well.
[Corey] How much of a factor do you think chemistry could be in this?
We know Fatal Influence to your point is a cohesive unit, a cohesive trio.
You've got three world class, high caliber athletes
on the other side, but they ain't a team.
-[Booker T] They're individual. -Correct.
[Booker T] That's the point right there. The thing is,
like I said, Jordynne Grace's the one exactly what they want.
So, at the end of the day, they're like a Molotov cocktail
about to explode before this thing's over with.
[Vic] Big kick on the jaw!
-Tag was made. -[Booker T] Oh, yeah!
[Vic] Fallon Henley is legal.
All three moving as one, wiping out Vaquer.
-[Booker T] Yeah! -Quickly into cover.
Hook of the leg. Isn't enough. And another kickout.
[Booker T] Seems like one of the partners, teammates,
would have got in there and done something right there, but they didn't.
That's what I'm talking about.
I was talking about one upping jockey. But the position is, Booker,
everyone's feeling the pressure right now
because we are on the road to Wrestlemania weekend.
-[Booker T] Yes, indeed. -[Corey] Both women with the same idea,
both connecting.
This could be a pivotal point in this matchup.
Which woman can make a tag first?
[Vic] Jazmyn Nyx on the outside because Jacy Jayne just tagged in.
She wiped out Giulia. Jordynne Grace is the only one standing, but…
Jacy might not like what she sees when she turns around, where it is tagged.
-[Booker T] Oh! -Here comes the Juggernaut.
Wiping out everyone.
Whoa!
-Big body Slam! -[Booker T] Ow!
[Vic] Who gets the next one?
Fallon gets dropped.
The most brutal body slams high across the shoulders.
Not here to make friends. Here to prove points, dominated in TNA.
Here in NXT.
-And right now, taking out everyone! -[Booker T] No way!
Everyone down away!
Double northern lights suplex by the Juggernaut.
-Inverted-- -[Corey] Clothesline!
[Vic] Calling out her shot.
Jayne able to move out of the way for a half second,
but just got caught one more time.
And the game was changed by Grace.
And Grace right now…
looking to make a serious impact here tonight.
Muscle buster!
Is that gonna be enough? Into the cover.
[Booker T] No way. No way she's gonna--
-Oh, man! -[Vic] Just able to kick out.
[Corey] Jacy Jayne keeping this one alive for Fatal Influence.
[Vic] What a main event here tonight on NXT.
What a night it has truly been!
And now Grace trying to hoist up, trying to power up Jacy Jayne.
Jayne had to block vicious knees right to the midsection,
driving the air out of the lungs.
And now Grace knows she has to change her game plan at this juncture.
-Oh! -[Booker T] That was a rough landing.
Now she's-- Oh, setup.
There's Fallon Henley trying to run interference.
It was successful for a moment. Vader Bob didn't connect.
Out of the corner, no--
-Ohh! -[Corey] Big jumping.
-Under the jaw. -[Booker T] Good night!
[Vic] Not quite yet.
Big kick out, right shoulder off the mat.
-[Booker T] That was a shot. -Look at this impact.
Ohh!
[Corey] Right on the cheek bone of Jordynne Grace.
[Vic] That's a live action. Tag was made.
Fallon Henley Now legal. She makes the tag.
Nyx is now legal. And again moving as one.
Big blockbuster out of the corner.
Rolling Grace inside out.
Oh. Big Nyx kick.
Nyx kick connected between the eyes. And… Uh-oh!
Everything breaking down.
By any means necessary,
Giulia, Vaquer, needing to break that count up.
[crowd chanting] NXT! NXT!
[Corey] Stephanie Vaquer with a double under hook countered by Fallon Henley.
Knee to the body. Here comes Henley.
These two-- Big toss.
Vaquer wiped out. Giulia though…
NXT women's champion.
-[Corey] Beautiful. -[Vic] Dropping Fallon Henley.
Right back in, got caught.
Jayne, now standing.
And Jayne standing no longer.
-Giulia… -[screams]
Ohh! A back suplex by the NXT women's champion.
-[Booker T] She's on fire right now. -[Vic] Bodies are hitting the floor.
-And Giulia now… -[crowd cheering] Giulia.
Just got caught.
[Corey] Henley again running interference.
This is great teamwork by Fatal Influence.
-[Booker T] Man! -[Vic] Actions spilling out all over.
What's Vaquer thinking?
Dark Angel flies.
Now Jazmyn Nyx one on one with the Juggernaut mid ring.
[Corey] Here's your two superstars at legal.
Grace, big fist…
And right now, hoisting up, slapping Nyx, the center of the ring!
-And a cover. -[Booker T] She's in trouble.
-[bell dings] -[Corey] Big victory for the Juggernaut.
[announcer] Here are your winners.
The team of Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia and Jordynne Grace.
[Corey] Welcome to NXT.
What a win for these three.
Look who's standing tall.
The women's champion, Giulia, Grace,
and the women's North American champion, Stephanie Vaquer.
It's the best, it's the strongest women's edition in the world.
Oh, and what a road we are headed down,
towards Las Vegas, at Wrestlemania weekend.
[crowd cheering] NXT! NXT!
[indistinct dialogues and argument]
[glass shatters]
What the-- Stone! Stone! Oh, my God!
What the hell?
Stone! Stone!
What the hell happened? Oh, my God!
