where Myles Borne has a date with destiny.

9
00:00:44,171 --> 00:00:49,121
An NXT championship opportunity
against the Ruler, Oba Femi.

10
00:00:49,155 --> 00:00:53,654
It's their final face-off in Tampa.

11

On the topic of champions,
the TNA world champion Joe Hendry

16
00:01:20,155 --> 00:01:23,638
[Vic] It's another champion,
the North American champion.

17
00:01:23,671 --> 00:01:28,354
Ricky Saints has finally arrived
to the Performance Center.

18
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:32,038
That is a man who has a lot on his mind

19
00:01:32,071 --> 00:01:35,838
after what took place last weekend.

20
00:01:35,871 --> 00:01:39,338
Guys, it looks like Ricky Saints
is making his way out here.

21
00:01:39,371 --> 00:01:43,821

looking like a million bucks.

00:02:18,688 --> 00:02:23,505
[Vic] Right now, guys, let's go back
to last week on NXT.

30
00:02:23,538 --> 00:02:29,371
It was a certain egotistical individual
who proved all of that to be true.

31
00:02:29,405 --> 00:02:32,105
Yes, I'm talking about Ethan Page,

32
00:02:32,138 --> 00:02:36,588
who is certainly being
eaten alive by jealousy.

33
00:02:38,438 --> 00:02:40,805
We are welcoming in--
thank you very much,

34
00:02:40,838 --> 00:02:44,738
by the North American champion himself,
Ricky Saints.

35
00:02:44,771 --> 00:02:46,905
What would you say he is looking like?

36
00:02:46,938 --> 00:02:48,071
A million bucks.

37
00:02:48,105 --> 00:02:50,988
Booker was asking who your stylist is.

38
00:02:51,021 --> 00:02:54,804
[Booker T] I think he picked
that little unit up from the Oaktree.

39
00:02:54,838 --> 00:02:57,188
I have seen that one before.

40
00:02:57,221 --> 00:02:59,471
-You know stuff.
-[Booker T] Uh-huh. Yes, man.

41

-Okay.
-Yes, the Oaktree.

Je'Von Evans.

49
00:03:35,188 --> 00:03:36,938
[Vic] We talked about it last week.

50
00:03:36,971 --> 00:03:39,704
A lot of speculation that
the winner of this match-up

51
00:03:39,738 --> 00:03:42,905
would be next to face
the North American champion.

52
00:03:42,938 --> 00:03:45,138
Graves, how has the young OG
caught your eye?

53
00:03:45,171 --> 00:03:48,155
[Corey] I can't take my eye off
Je'Von Evans.

54
00:03:48,188 --> 00:03:51,988
The guy is a bona fide star
and at such a young age,

55
00:03:52,021 --> 00:03:54,204

Sean Legacy.

59
00:04:10,255 --> 00:04:13,788
[Vic] Graves, this has to be a big spot,

60
00:04:13,821 --> 00:04:18,438
maybe the biggest spot, maybe the biggest
opportunity in the life of Sean Legacy.

61
00:04:18,471 --> 00:04:21,171
[Corey] This is an opportunity
that Sean Legacy earned.

62
00:04:21,204 --> 00:04:23,354
He turned a lot of heads open,
a lot of eyes

63

with his performance in the Battle Royal.

64

a very, very bright future

-and it could involve Ricky Saints.
-[Vic] You agree with that, Book?

how he has definitely

00:04:33,121 --> 00:04:36,088

also a WWE IV talent.

coming out here.

Oh, my God, man.

this fast in a show.

he is doing now.

moved on from Petrovic?

And look, who would you like to defend
your championship against?

99
00:06:04,305 --> 00:06:07,305
[Corey] Probably the guy fighting with
his sunglasses on, Vic.

100
00:06:07,338 --> 00:06:09,471
[Ricky] Hold on, let me
answer the question.

101
00:06:09,505 --> 00:06:11,055
Here's the thing.
I will fight anybody,

102
00:06:11,088 --> 00:06:14,371
but I will say this. Je'Von has already
proven he is championship material.

103
00:06:14,405 --> 00:06:17,921
Look at that. Sean Legacy proving
already that he's got what it takes.

104
00:06:17,955 --> 00:06:20,938
Of course Ashante, as underrated as he is,

105
00:06:20,971 --> 00:06:22,871
I think he would be the one.

106
00:06:22,905 --> 00:06:27,005
[Vic] Uh-oh, we're going right around
and Evans, the nearfall.

107

and another nearfall.

And Evans going right back up around
and whoa.

00:06:42,788 --> 00:06:44,455
Legacy able just to kick out.

114
00:06:44,488 --> 00:06:47,538
Going up, going down,
getting caught, looking for a backslide.

115
00:06:47,571 --> 00:06:49,905
Legacy center of the ring and a kickout.

Do you have any comments for Ethan Page

119
00:06:57,171 --> 00:06:58,738
for what happened last week?

120
00:06:58,771 --> 00:07:01,521
[Ricky] I will be as PG as I can.

121
00:07:01,555 --> 00:07:03,755
When I see him, it's on sight.

122
00:07:05,071 --> 00:07:08,838
[Vic] Right now, on sight,
as Legacy downstep to the spine.

123
00:07:08,871 --> 00:07:11,338
Evans got dropped with a dropkick.

124
00:07:11,371 --> 00:07:13,488
There are not many superstars
on the planet

who can out quick Je'Von Evans

126
00:07:15,371 --> 00:07:18,521
but Legacy was able to get the upper hand
in that exchange.

127
00:07:18,555 --> 00:07:19,905
[Corey] Very, very impressive.

128
00:07:19,938 --> 00:07:21,854
[Vic] Booker,
Graves brought it up earlier.

129
00:07:21,888 --> 00:07:24,771
Were you shocked by Legacy
and how long he lasted

130
00:07:24,805 --> 00:07:26,505
and the number one contenders
Battle Royal?

131
00:07:26,538 --> 00:07:28,205
[Booker T] He has been out there.

132
00:07:28,238 --> 00:07:30,455
Let me tell you,
it's not fun working on…

133
00:07:30,488 --> 00:07:34,288
It's a grind. This is the opportunity
of a lifetime for Legacy

134
00:07:34,321 --> 00:07:35,771
who is taking advantage of it.

135
00:07:35,805 --> 00:07:38,771
Caught by Ashante "Thee" Adonis.

136
00:07:38,805 --> 00:07:40,555
[Corey] Nothing fancy from Ashante,

137
00:07:40,588 --> 00:07:43,354
just smash mouth offense
on the right hand of Je'Von.

138
00:07:43,388 --> 00:07:47,088
[Booker T] Is there any reason you
didn't say anything about Ashante Adonis?

139
00:07:47,121 --> 00:07:50,354
I mean, not giving him a shot.
He deserves that.

140
00:07:50,388 --> 00:07:53,171
Equal opportunity, what's up with that?

141
00:07:53,205 --> 00:07:56,438
[Ricky] Your bias is showing, Booker.
I did say he is underrated.

142
00:07:56,471 --> 00:07:59,321
[Booker T] Underrated? You didn't say
nothing about giving him a shot.

143
00:07:59,354 --> 00:08:01,971
That's what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about giving him a shot.

144
00:08:02,005 --> 00:08:04,505
[Vic] It's not his job to give him a shot,
or an opportunity.

145
00:08:04,538 --> 00:08:06,488
That's up to General Manager, Ava.

146
00:08:06,521 --> 00:08:09,138
[Booker T] …giving everybody else
a shot. Why not Ashante Adonis?

147
00:08:09,171 --> 00:08:11,338
[Vic] How many cups of coffee
did you have today?

148
00:08:11,371 --> 00:08:14,688
Your doctor said decaf, and you better
have your blood pressure medication--

00:08:14,721 --> 00:08:16,488
[Booker T] Oh, baby!

150
00:08:16,521 --> 00:08:18,971
[Vic] Evans, right now
could be looking to fly.

151
00:08:19,005 --> 00:08:21,638
He's the only one standing
in the center of the ring.

[Booker T] …ever seen.
We got the OG right there

156
00:08:30,821 --> 00:08:33,888
he waited on Ashante to come to him
instead of going after him

157
00:08:33,921 --> 00:08:36,188
and doing something crazy, I like that.

158
00:08:36,221 --> 00:08:38,121
Oh! He's thinking.

159
00:08:38,155 --> 00:08:40,421

with purpose right now.

right to the face.

being able to allude--

But he was able to wipe out the field.

00:09:05,438 --> 00:09:08,005
you have to think
that perhaps our general manager

170
00:09:08,038 --> 00:09:12,071
watching this match closely,
could be naming the winner of this…

171
00:09:12,105 --> 00:09:13,171
[crosstalk]

172
00:09:13,204 --> 00:09:16,138
[Vic] Into the cover,
double pin and the double kickout.

173
00:09:16,171 --> 00:09:20,088
And could be naming one of these men
next in line, Ricky, to your championship,

174
00:09:20,121 --> 00:09:21,438
that North American title.

175
00:09:21,471 --> 00:09:23,338
[Saints] I am more than open to that.

176
00:09:23,371 --> 00:09:25,871
I was the one that threw it out there.
Come on.

177
00:09:25,905 --> 00:09:27,538
Think I'm afraid of a challenge?

178
00:09:27,571 --> 00:09:30,005
[Vic] I don't think you are.
It is now Adonis

179
00:09:30,038 --> 00:09:34,488
who may be looking for that long kiss
goodnight.

180
00:09:35,321 --> 00:09:36,755
Serenading the band.

181
00:09:36,788 --> 00:09:39,405
[Corey] You don't serenade the band, Vic.
The band serenades you.

182
00:09:39,438 --> 00:09:40,855
-[Vic] That one, too.
-[Corey] Boom!

183
00:09:40,888 --> 00:09:44,738
There's no serenading
this man, though.

184
00:09:44,771 --> 00:09:47,438
[Vic] From The Young OG.
Evans firing back.

185
00:09:47,471 --> 00:09:48,555
[Corey] Wow!

186
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:51,155
[Vic] This is turning
into a hard-hitting affair

187
00:09:51,188 --> 00:09:52,405
between these three men,

188
00:09:52,438 --> 00:09:57,188
all looking to open the eyes
of the General Manager Ava.

189
00:09:57,221 --> 00:10:00,204
[Corey] Out goes Legacy,
here comes the OG.

190
00:10:00,238 --> 00:10:01,771
[commentators exclaim]

191
00:10:01,805 --> 00:10:03,954
-[Booker T] My God!
-[Corey] Wow!

192
00:10:03,988 --> 00:10:07,271
[Vic] Adonis, huge clothesline,
could have changed this around.

193
00:10:07,305 --> 00:10:08,871
From the top, Legacy.

194
00:10:11,521 --> 00:10:15,871
The Georgian native, the high-flyer
just wiped out the field.

195
00:10:15,905 --> 00:10:17,671
[crowd chanting "Legacy"]

196
00:10:18,721 --> 00:10:22,138
[Corey] Let's take another look
at this sequence of action,

197
00:10:22,171 --> 00:10:25,704
Legacy from the top,
springboard dropkick on the money.

198
00:10:25,738 --> 00:10:28,738
Champ, everybody was down
a few seconds ago.

199
00:10:28,771 --> 00:10:31,471
Are you leaning any which way
with these three competitors?

200
00:10:31,505 --> 00:10:33,355
I'mma stay as in the middle as I can.

201
00:10:33,388 --> 00:10:36,105
But I tell you, the action is nonstop.
I'm loving it.

202
00:10:38,621 --> 00:10:42,321
[Booker T] I mean, this is a great time
to call your shot.

203
00:10:42,355 --> 00:10:44,488
That's what I would be doing if I was you.

204
00:10:44,521 --> 00:10:46,755
-Oh, baby!
-[Vic] Cover! For the win.

205
00:10:46,788 --> 00:10:48,488
What a victory! What a-- Oh!

206
00:10:48,521 --> 00:10:52,038
And Adonis just broke this matchup up.

207
00:10:52,738 --> 00:10:55,805
[Corey] Ashante preserving
his own potential opportunity.

208
00:10:55,838 --> 00:10:59,755
[Vic] Look at Legacy, looking to fly.
And it's over…

209
00:10:59,788 --> 00:11:01,338
[Corey] Right on target.

210
00:11:01,371 --> 00:11:02,688
[crowd cheering]

211
00:11:02,721 --> 00:11:05,338
[Booker T] He wants it.
He wants it bad, man.

212
00:11:05,371 --> 00:11:07,888
[crowd chanting "Legacy"]

213
00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:15,088
[Vic] Legacy now perched high… Oh!

214
00:11:15,121 --> 00:11:18,238
[Corey] Charging in,
Je'Von Evans, leaping higher.

215
00:11:18,805 --> 00:11:20,588
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa!

216
00:11:21,655 --> 00:11:23,388
You got to be kidding me!

217
00:11:23,421 --> 00:11:24,888
[Booker T] Oh, no!

218
00:11:24,921 --> 00:11:27,405
[Vic] Evans, looking bouncy.

219
00:11:27,438 --> 00:11:29,688
Bam! One more time between the eyes.

220
00:11:29,721 --> 00:11:31,288
Adonis though…

221
00:11:31,321 --> 00:11:32,921
Oh, Adonis gonna steal it.

222
00:11:32,954 --> 00:11:35,021
Oh, no! Adonis into the cover.

223
00:11:35,521 --> 00:11:37,505
[commentators exclaim]

224
00:11:39,671 --> 00:11:43,605
[Corey] This place is electric
with good reason.

225
00:11:43,638 --> 00:11:47,405
This is mind-blowing athleticism
from Je'Von Evans,

226
00:11:47,438 --> 00:11:49,855
but it wasn't enough to finish the job.

227
00:11:49,888 --> 00:11:51,655
[crowd chanting "This is awesome!"]

228
00:12:00,255 --> 00:12:04,488
[Corey] The NXT Universe
singing in unison.

229
00:12:04,521 --> 00:12:06,704
Ricky, [chuckles] you got to agree, right?

230
00:12:06,738 --> 00:12:09,005
[Saints] I agree 1000%. I'm speechless.

231
00:12:09,038 --> 00:12:14,171
[Vic] It's just the opening contest
on the final NXT before Battleground,

232
00:12:14,204 --> 00:12:17,138
and look at the two
that are staring each other down.

233
00:12:17,171 --> 00:12:19,871
[crowd cheering, exclaiming]

234
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:23,355
[Vic] Starting with a conversation
last week in the locker room,

235
00:12:24,188 --> 00:12:27,788
ending in a fistfight
here in the center of the ring. And as…

236
00:12:29,488 --> 00:12:32,988
And as Booker would say, "I just want to
see these men throw some hands."

237
00:12:33,021 --> 00:12:35,505
[Booker T] They're throwin' hands
right there, this is a fight.

238
00:12:35,538 --> 00:12:37,605
A fight just broke out. Oh, yes!

239
00:12:37,638 --> 00:12:40,721
-[Vic] Blown over into the DDT.
-[Booker T] Oh yes!

240
00:12:40,755 --> 00:12:42,438
Give it up!

241
00:12:42,471 --> 00:12:45,588
[Vic] Adonis, this time,
caught the superkick.

242
00:12:45,621 --> 00:12:49,171
Will it be enough?
Into the cover the count and Legacy…

243
00:12:49,204 --> 00:12:50,588
[commentators exclaim]

244
00:12:50,621 --> 00:12:54,105
[Vic] …breaking it up
with an exclamation point.

245
00:12:54,138 --> 00:12:58,521
[Corey] Unbelievable action
from all three of these athletes.

246
00:12:58,555 --> 00:13:01,171
[Vic] Champ, do you have any advice
for Legacy right now?

247
00:13:01,204 --> 00:13:04,688
Because he's the one that's trying
to shock the world with moves like this.

248
00:13:04,721 --> 00:13:07,071
[Saints] I'm gonna tell you this.

249
00:13:07,105 --> 00:13:11,105
Keep going forward.
Go to the Universe. Go to the Moon.

250
00:13:11,138 --> 00:13:12,988
Go to the stars, go to the galaxy…

251
00:13:13,021 --> 00:13:15,855
This guy, he has to put it
all in the basket.

252
00:13:16,371 --> 00:13:19,371
[Vic] But right now
he is looking to hit a three.

253
00:13:19,405 --> 00:13:21,555
He's looking to hit a game-winner.

254
00:13:21,588 --> 00:13:22,888
Triple Threat.

255
00:13:23,938 --> 00:13:25,238
Everyone trying to rise up

256
00:13:25,271 --> 00:13:28,288
almost like coming
from the ashes of a fight, Graves.

257
00:13:28,321 --> 00:13:30,255
Somehow, some way… Cutter!

258
00:13:30,288 --> 00:13:31,938
Where did Evans come from?

259
00:13:31,971 --> 00:13:33,971
[Corey] Keep your eyes on Ashante.

260
00:13:34,005 --> 00:13:37,621
[Vic] Adonis, now trying to pick up
the scraps going up, going around.

261
00:13:37,655 --> 00:13:40,155
Big suplex. I don't know how Evans
can do all this.

262
00:13:40,188 --> 00:13:43,105
-[Corey] This dude is unreal.
-[Booker T] He's growing up.

263
00:13:43,138 --> 00:13:45,288
He's growing up
right before our eyes, guys.

264
00:13:45,321 --> 00:13:46,671
You talk about that opportunity

265
00:13:46,704 --> 00:13:49,738
he's trying to make do
with right here tonight.

266
00:13:49,771 --> 00:13:50,771
Oh, baby!

267
00:13:50,805 --> 00:13:55,138
[Vic] The Young OG, so close,
he can taste it perched on the top.

268
00:13:55,171 --> 00:13:56,905
[commentators exclaim]

269
00:13:56,938 --> 00:13:58,321
[Booker T] Wow!

270
00:13:58,355 --> 00:14:01,171
[Vic] Bounced right off Adonis,
into the cover.

271
00:14:01,771 --> 00:14:05,071
-I don't know how…
-[Booker T] What the hell!

272
00:14:05,105 --> 00:14:08,871
Ricky, you've got to be impressed
with these three men laying it

273
00:14:08,905 --> 00:14:10,188
on the line here tonight.

274
00:14:10,221 --> 00:14:11,721
And you gotta ask me--

275
00:14:11,755 --> 00:14:14,688
-[Corey] Whoa! Ethan Page!
-[Vic] Hey! What the hell!

276
00:14:14,721 --> 00:14:15,988
This egomaniac!

277
00:14:16,021 --> 00:14:19,005
-All legal.
-We need more security than that.

278
00:14:19,038 --> 00:14:21,155
We got a Triple Threat going on. Come on!

279
00:14:22,755 --> 00:14:24,421
There's a melee at ringside.

280
00:14:24,454 --> 00:14:28,038
There's a Triple Threat still continuing
inside of the ring.

281
00:14:28,071 --> 00:14:29,438

282
00:14:29,471 --> 00:14:30,638
[Booker T] Oh, baby!

283
00:14:30,671 --> 00:14:32,571
[Vic] Epic scene, what's going on.

284
00:14:32,604 --> 00:14:35,888
Trying to equal the play field.
But we still got a match going on.

285
00:14:35,921 --> 00:14:38,621
Adonis now at the top.
Legacy hasn't moved.

286
00:14:38,655 --> 00:14:41,888
Ashante "Thee" Adonis
blowing a kiss goodnight.

287
00:14:41,921 --> 00:14:44,555
Whoa! Legacy able to get
right out of the way.

288
00:14:45,354 --> 00:14:47,471
And just hoisting up Adonis

289
00:14:48,021 --> 00:14:51,088
and he's gonna leave Adonis in shambles.

290
00:14:52,354 --> 00:14:54,488

291
00:14:54,521 --> 00:14:56,988

-[Vic] A stunning upset tonight.

292
00:14:58,471 --> 00:15:04,721
[Rome] Here is your winner, Sean Legacy.

293
00:15:04,755 --> 00:15:09,088
[Vic] Sean just
starting to build his legacy on NXT.

294
00:15:09,121 --> 00:15:11,038
But here, in front of us,

295
00:15:11,071 --> 00:15:14,171
all hell is breaking loose on NXT.

296
00:15:14,204 --> 00:15:17,071
[Corey] But remember the name,
Sean Legacy.

297
00:15:21,021 --> 00:15:24,321
This is a huge win
for both Sean Legacy and EVOLVE.

298

Stevie, this is great.
And congratulations to your guy,

299
00:15:27,138 --> 00:15:29,321
But you see what Ricky and Ethan
are doing right now?

300
00:15:29,354 --> 00:15:30,688
I cannot keep having this.

-Appreciate it.
-It is a huge accomplishment.

As we talked about,
both of you will make your in-ring debuts

309

00:25:08,304 --> 00:25:11,955
Remember Briggs, Fallon,
they went their own way.

506
00:25:11,988 --> 00:25:13,288
Brooks followed suit.

507
00:25:13,321 --> 00:25:15,105
Brooks has always been a follower,

508
00:25:15,138 --> 00:25:17,638
and that's what's confusing
about Spears' comments.

509
00:25:17,671 --> 00:25:20,205
Because if you think back,
even about Kiana James,

510
00:25:20,238 --> 00:25:22,221
how Brooks was following her around.

511
00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:25,288
[Booker T] There will come a time
when Briggs needs to just

512
00:25:25,321 --> 00:25:27,955
take a good, long look in the mirror, man.

513
00:25:27,988 --> 00:25:30,054
He's failed two partners, man.

514
00:25:30,088 --> 00:25:32,888
And sometimes, it might just be you.

515
00:25:32,921 --> 00:25:33,988
Maybe that's it.

516
00:25:34,021 --> 00:25:37,504
Maybe, you know what,
he needs to use this as fuel

517
00:25:37,538 --> 00:25:38,988
to get him to the next level.

518
00:25:39,021 --> 00:25:43,105
[Vic] Well, we can all agree right now
that Spears has the family, Graves,

519
00:25:43,138 --> 00:25:44,754
hitting on all cylinders.

520
00:25:45,504 --> 00:25:47,438
[Corey] No doubt.
The Culling has come together

521
00:25:47,471 --> 00:25:49,588
gelled extremely well as a cohesive unit.

522
00:25:49,621 --> 00:25:52,038
Now, Spears is teeing off on Briggs.

523
00:25:52,071 --> 00:25:54,771
[Vic] When it comes to family,
it leaves one to think,

524
00:25:54,804 --> 00:25:58,021
what does Shawn Spears think about
everything going on with The D'Angelos?

525
00:25:58,054 --> 00:26:01,038
[Booker T] You know what? He's loving it.
The thing is,

526
00:26:01,071 --> 00:26:04,388
he may be the one
that started the whole thing…

527
00:26:04,421 --> 00:26:06,038
Oh! Beautiful. Beautiful.

528
00:26:07,121 --> 00:26:09,304
[Vic] Tony, Stacks,
Sunday at Battleground.

529
00:26:09,338 --> 00:26:11,288
But right now, The Culling looking on,

530
00:26:11,321 --> 00:26:13,271
admiring all the work

531
00:26:13,304 --> 00:26:16,705
that Shawn Spears is doing
in this matchup,

532
00:26:16,738 --> 00:26:19,288
[Corey] You've gotta respect
the strategy of Spears.

533
00:26:19,321 --> 00:26:20,688
He plants the seed.

534
00:26:21,338 --> 00:26:25,605
He plants the seed in his victims
and lets the seed grow,

535
00:26:25,638 --> 00:26:26,738
lets it blossom.

536
00:26:26,771 --> 00:26:27,804
And essentially…

537
00:26:29,271 --> 00:26:32,321
his opposition tends to
destroy themselves or fall.

538
00:26:32,355 --> 00:26:35,288
[Vic] Isn't that low for him
to bring up Briggs' past,

539
00:26:35,321 --> 00:26:38,754
-especially as it relates to Jensen?
-[Corey] What's this business about, Book?

540
00:26:38,788 --> 00:26:40,738
[Booker T] Checks! Championships!

541
00:26:40,771 --> 00:26:42,171
That's what it's about, man!

542
00:26:42,205 --> 00:26:44,405
I'm talking about first-class treatment.

543
00:26:45,088 --> 00:26:46,105
[Vic] Oh, bam!

544
00:26:46,138 --> 00:26:49,705
[Booker T] Champagne wishes!
Caviar dreams!

545
00:26:49,738 --> 00:26:51,605
-Yes!
-[Vic] Big splash from Briggs.

546
00:26:51,638 --> 00:26:56,054
And again, it's Spears who is trying
to get Briggs' anger to work against him.

547
00:26:56,088 --> 00:26:58,655
But he could be looking
for a massive chokeslam.

548
00:26:58,688 --> 00:27:02,304
[Corey] To be fair, Booker, I don't know
that Briggs is the caviar type.

549
00:27:02,338 --> 00:27:03,271
[Booker T laughs]

550
00:27:03,304 --> 00:27:06,605
-[Vic] Great counter by Spears.
-[Booker T] You might be right.

551
00:27:06,638 --> 00:27:07,638
[Vic] Whoa!

552
00:27:07,671 --> 00:27:11,038
Another counter by Spears,
rocking Briggs out here in front of us.

553
00:27:11,071 --> 00:27:13,888
And I look around, The Culling is here.

554
00:27:13,921 --> 00:27:16,638
[Corey] Oh, superkick right on the button.

555
00:27:16,671 --> 00:27:19,938
-I can't believe Briggs is still vertical.
-[Booker T] Back it up.

556
00:27:19,971 --> 00:27:21,205
We're in the drop zone.

557
00:27:21,238 --> 00:27:22,671
-Back it up.
-[Vic] And…

558
00:27:22,705 --> 00:27:24,338
-Whoa!
-[Corey] Oh!

559
00:27:24,371 --> 00:27:27,121
That is some power from The Man of Mayhem.

560
00:27:27,155 --> 00:27:30,004
-[Vic] You can say--
-[Corey] Look out! Face first!

561
00:27:30,038 --> 00:27:33,405
-[Booker T] I told you!
-[Vic] You did. And Briggs heard you.

562
00:27:33,438 --> 00:27:36,205
And Briggs could be looking…
There comes Niko Vance.

563
00:27:36,238 --> 00:27:39,038
[Corey] There goes Niko Vance!
Face full of steel!

564
00:27:39,071 --> 00:27:40,405
[Vic] And Jensen!

565
00:27:42,438 --> 00:27:45,371
Jensen getting on the apron.
Our official doing his best…

566
00:27:45,405 --> 00:27:49,955
[Corey] Oh, no! Izzi with the boot
on the outside behind the official's back.

567
00:27:49,988 --> 00:27:52,771
[Vic] And Shawn Spears, inside cradle.

568
00:27:52,804 --> 00:27:56,038
-And Spears steals one tonight.
-[bell rings]

569
00:27:57,038 --> 00:28:01,205
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Shawn Spears!

570
00:28:01,238 --> 00:28:03,838
[Vic] Briggs in absolute disbelief

571
00:28:03,871 --> 00:28:05,905
because he wasn't just facing one man,

572
00:28:05,938 --> 00:28:08,021
-he was facing The Culling!
-[Corey] Wait!

573
00:28:08,054 --> 00:28:10,804
[Vic] Now, the emotions
getting to Briggs one more time.

574
00:28:10,838 --> 00:28:12,788
And look at Jensen. Look at Niko Vance.

575
00:28:14,455 --> 00:28:16,271
Briggs is fighting 'em by himself!

576
00:28:17,188 --> 00:28:19,971
[Corey] Ill-advised decision by Briggs,
who's just being

577
00:28:20,004 --> 00:28:23,338
mauled and mugged right now
at the hands of The Culling.

578
00:28:23,371 --> 00:28:26,988
[Vic] And The Culling loves it.
Spears, right now, is salivating.

579
00:28:27,021 --> 00:28:28,905
["Burn This Engine Out" playing]

580
00:28:30,938 --> 00:28:33,705
-[Corey] It's the tag champs!
-[Vic] It's Hank and Tank!

581
00:28:33,738 --> 00:28:35,571
[crowd cheering]

582
00:28:35,605 --> 00:28:36,788
Evening the odds!

583
00:28:37,438 --> 00:28:39,671
All six of these men now!

584
00:28:39,705 --> 00:28:42,771
And remember what Hank and Tank
told Josh Briggs.

585
00:28:45,271 --> 00:28:46,988
Listen to the NXT Universe!

586
00:28:47,021 --> 00:28:49,138
Rise up for the champs!

587
00:28:50,105 --> 00:28:53,855
Hank and Tank told Briggs
they would have his back,

588
00:28:53,888 --> 00:28:57,471
and the tag team champions
certainly did here tonight.

589
00:28:57,504 --> 00:28:59,504
["Burn This Engine Out" playing]

590
00:29:02,804 --> 00:29:04,221
[indistinct chatter]

591
00:29:04,254 --> 00:29:05,855
Hey, Sol.

592
00:29:05,888 --> 00:29:08,138
Just to be clear,
when I beat Zaria tonight,

593
00:29:08,171 --> 00:29:10,004
I get a title shot on Sunday, right?

594
00:29:10,038 --> 00:29:13,071
Yes. Kelani, I remember
what we agreed on last week.

595
00:29:13,105 --> 00:29:16,771
I'm just checking 'cause I won't be
surprised if you go back on your word.

596
00:29:16,804 --> 00:29:22,521
-'Cause your best friend--
-Sol is the most genuine person in WWE.

597
00:29:22,554 --> 00:29:24,521
She's not going back on her word,

598
00:29:24,554 --> 00:29:27,088
just like you're not going
to Battleground.

599
00:29:27,121 --> 00:29:28,871
I beat you two weeks ago,

600
00:29:28,905 --> 00:29:30,838
and I'll do it again tonight.

601
00:29:30,871 --> 00:29:31,938
Damn straight.

602
00:29:32,888 --> 00:29:34,321
See you at Battleground.

603
00:29:34,871 --> 00:29:36,821
-[grunts]
-She's getting annoying.

604
00:29:37,688 --> 00:29:39,071
Don't worry. I got this.

605
00:29:39,105 --> 00:29:40,238
Yeah, you got it.

606
00:29:42,121 --> 00:29:43,838
[Vic] A big matchup still to come.

607
00:29:43,871 --> 00:29:48,538
There you see Andre Chase,
as school, back in session.

608
00:29:48,571 --> 00:29:53,304
Dixon, Connors, they're tag team action
next on NXT.

609
00:29:53,338 --> 00:29:55,288
[Corey] Are those spaghetti straps?

610
00:30:00,288 --> 00:30:02,721
Tatum! Tatum!

611
00:30:02,754 --> 00:30:05,321
Tatum, what the hell was that last week,
blaming me?

612
00:30:05,355 --> 00:30:09,271
Look, I know you're going through
a lot right now, but you'll bounce back.

613
00:30:09,304 --> 00:30:11,721
You don't understand,

614
00:30:11,754 --> 00:30:13,938
the toll that it takes to lose.

615
00:30:14,754 --> 00:30:17,038
Everyone you've been close to.

616
00:30:17,071 --> 00:30:18,271
[clicks tongue]

617
00:30:18,304 --> 00:30:19,905
Agree to disagree on that one,

618
00:30:19,938 --> 00:30:23,504
because if anyone understands
what it's like to lose everyone,

619
00:30:23,538 --> 00:30:24,521
it's me.

620
00:30:24,554 --> 00:30:26,355
-So, with that being said--
-Hey!

[metal clanging]

622
00:30:28,238 --> 00:30:31,421
You should really start saving
yourself next time.

623
00:30:31,455 --> 00:30:33,405
Tatum, in a real way,

624
00:30:33,438 --> 00:30:34,738
I do feel bad for you.

625
00:30:36,088 --> 00:30:37,321
You do?

626
00:30:37,355 --> 00:30:38,371
Hell no!

627
00:30:38,405 --> 00:30:40,738
What is wrong with you? Stupid.

["Accomplished" playing]

629
00:30:44,605 --> 00:30:46,905
[Vic] We all know Tatum
doesn't have a bulletproof heart,

630
00:30:46,938 --> 00:30:50,238
but we also know
Jaida is out to get everyone.

631

["About That Time" playing]

632
00:31:05,988 --> 00:31:07,588
[announcer] And their opponents,

633
00:31:07,621 --> 00:31:10,304
Bronco Nima, Lucien Price,

634
00:31:10,338 --> 00:31:13,705
OTM!

635
00:31:16,538 --> 00:31:20,688
[Vic] Well, we are set
for tag team action.

636
00:31:20,721 --> 00:31:24,205
[crowd chanting] OTM! OTM! OTM!

637
00:31:31,405 --> 00:31:33,638
[Vic] Graves, this duo, that being OTM,

638
00:31:33,671 --> 00:31:37,438
certainly put everyone
on notice last week.

639
00:31:37,471 --> 00:31:41,804
[Corey] I have kept eyes on OTM
for several years now,

640
00:31:41,838 --> 00:31:43,888
when they first arrived
at the Performance Center.

641
00:31:43,921 --> 00:31:44,955
These guys are back.

642
00:31:44,988 --> 00:31:47,504
They are bigger, badder,
and better than before.

643
00:31:47,538 --> 00:31:49,221
Lucien Price, all healed up.

644
00:31:49,254 --> 00:31:52,338
-Bronco Nima is an absolute stallion.
-[Booker T] Oh, man!

645
00:31:52,371 --> 00:31:55,554
[Corey] I think the future's bright
for both members of OTM.

646
00:31:55,588 --> 00:31:57,621
[Vic] A tag was made. Dixon's now legal.

647
00:31:57,655 --> 00:32:00,321
I think, if you were gonna ask
Andre Chase for advice,

648
00:32:00,355 --> 00:32:01,705
you should've before the match.

649
00:32:01,738 --> 00:32:04,821
[Corey] I'd never take advice
from a guy who gets his haircut at Costco.

[Vince] I'm thinking about what Graves
just said, so I wanna come to you and go,

654
00:32:14,271 --> 00:32:16,071
what do you think of Andre Chase's
new wardrobe?

655
00:32:16,971 --> 00:32:19,455
I don't care about Andre Chase's
new wardrobe.

00:32:19,488 --> 00:32:21,338
What are you talking about?
I wish--

657
00:32:21,371 --> 00:32:22,571
What do you mean?

658
00:32:22,605 --> 00:32:25,254
[Vince] Booker is a pro wrestling expert
and a two-time Hall of Famer.

659
00:32:25,288 --> 00:32:27,621
What do you think he cares about
Andre Chase's wearing pick?

660
00:32:27,655 --> 00:32:30,271
What the hell? You're talking about
Ricky Saints and wearing oak trees

661
00:32:30,304 --> 00:32:32,188
or something earlier. He was looking good.

662
00:32:32,221 --> 00:32:34,271
[Booker T] He was looking
damn good, all right?

-Well, I think--
-Boom!

00:32:35,238 --> 00:32:38,471
I think Conor thought he was making a tag,
but Dixon was a little bit too far away

665
00:32:38,504 --> 00:32:39,355
from the corner.

666
00:32:39,388 --> 00:32:41,921
Unfortunately, they don't get paid
to think at Chase U.

Lucian Price just flattened both members
of the opposition.

-[Vince] Well, Graves, correct me

opportunity.

00:32:58,271 --> 00:33:01,121
and who better to fill that void than OTM?

673
00:33:01,155 --> 00:33:02,905
[Vince] Well, Booker, you can also make
a case

674
00:33:02,938 --> 00:33:04,355
for The Culling after what we just saw

675
00:33:04,388 --> 00:33:07,838
-with Nathan Tank.
-[Booker T] The Culling,

676
00:33:07,871 --> 00:33:11,338
I mean,
back to Lucien, Bryce, and Bronco.

677
00:33:11,371 --> 00:33:14,821
I just think these guys just need
a few more reps, that's all it is.

678
00:33:14,855 --> 00:33:17,855
That's what it's all about,
on the job training for these guys.

679
00:33:17,888 --> 00:33:22,155
[Vince] I agree with you, Booker.
My goodness, two physical stunts.

680
00:33:22,188 --> 00:33:25,671
That's DDT trying to shoot the half,
getting to the cover is Cale Dixon,

681
00:33:25,705 --> 00:33:27,088
and a quick kick out.

682
00:33:27,121 --> 00:33:31,804
Well look, Connors Dixon worked very hard
to help Andre Chase refine himself.

683
00:33:31,838 --> 00:33:35,004
It's also good to see two young men
looking at a higher education

684
00:33:35,038 --> 00:33:37,705
into another cover,
but yet another kick out at one.

685
00:33:37,738 --> 00:33:40,721
I got a lot of respect for Cale Dixon,
he's had an uphill battle his whole life,

686
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:43,138
his parents named him after
a crappy vegetable.

687
00:33:43,171 --> 00:33:45,638
[Corey] Look at the power
of Lucien Price.

688
00:33:45,671 --> 00:33:46,804
[Vince] And a tag was made,

689
00:33:46,838 --> 00:33:50,838
-Bronco Nima is now the legal superstar.
-What's the matter, Vic?

690
00:33:50,871 --> 00:33:56,238
[Vince] I happen to like Cale.
And now, Double chop, I love this dude.

691
00:33:56,271 --> 00:33:59,488
[Booker T] Oh, talking about,
it's time to eat, it's time to eat.

692
00:33:59,521 --> 00:34:02,738
[Vince] Booker, what has OTM been missing
as they return to action here tonight?

693
00:34:02,771 --> 00:34:05,421
[Booker T] Like I said, I mean,
they got all the talent in the world.

694
00:34:05,455 --> 00:34:08,605
You can see these guys got the ability
to go out there and be great one day.

695
00:34:08,638 --> 00:34:11,205
It's just about getting
that expert tuning.

696
00:34:11,238 --> 00:34:13,238
I think they're getting that right now.

697
00:34:13,271 --> 00:34:15,855
Lucien Price trying to run a little
interference, referee though.

698
00:34:15,888 --> 00:34:17,638
[Vince] Oh, The Doran. There we go.

699
00:34:17,671 --> 00:34:20,821
Andre Chase seems a little bit
on the outside.

700
00:34:20,855 --> 00:34:23,038
That was smart,
that's why Chase is so confused.

701
00:34:23,071 --> 00:34:25,888
It was gravity, it was gravity,
I like that.

702
00:34:29,071 --> 00:34:30,971
Yeah, I don't think it necessarily
works that way,

703
00:34:31,005 --> 00:34:33,355
'cause OTM may be not playing around.

704
00:34:33,388 --> 00:34:36,538
Graves called themselves
the Thunder and the Rain,

705
00:34:36,571 --> 00:34:38,904
and that a storm was coming to NXT.

706
00:34:39,421 --> 00:34:44,154
Look at the power,
the physicality of both Price and Nima.

707
00:34:44,188 --> 00:34:47,721
You should know you're a bad dude
when you use another human being

708
00:34:47,755 --> 00:34:49,005
as a weapon.

709
00:34:49,038 --> 00:34:52,054
-Look at this.
-Oh, my God.

710
00:34:52,088 --> 00:34:56,804
Offense, and the boys from Chase U
still got a lot to learn.

711
00:34:57,971 --> 00:35:03,455
[announcer] Here are your winners, OTM.

712
00:35:03,488 --> 00:35:06,055
[Vince] What a tag team matchup
we just witnessed.

713
00:35:06,088 --> 00:35:07,971
Welcome back, OTM.

714
00:35:13,005 --> 00:35:17,521
Unfortunately for Mr. Chase, I hope
his bars well stocked after this loss.

715
00:35:17,555 --> 00:35:23,571
Absolute dominance from OTM,
Bronco Nima taking Uriah's head off.

716
00:35:23,605 --> 00:35:27,188
And look at this, an enhanced spine buster

717
00:35:27,221 --> 00:35:31,154
nearly put someone through the ring.

718
00:35:31,188 --> 00:35:33,654
-That was kind of--
-I couldn't tell, it was just a splat

719
00:35:33,688 --> 00:35:35,355
on the canvas at that point.

720
00:35:35,938 --> 00:35:39,321
[Vince] Well, as they said,
their strength isn't loud, it's felt.

721
00:35:39,355 --> 00:35:45,038
And the tag team division has been put on
notice courtesy of OTM.

722
00:35:45,071 --> 00:35:48,888
Well, there is the number one contender
to the NXT championship,

723
00:35:48,921 --> 00:35:52,271
Myles Bourne of the NQCC.

724
00:35:52,305 --> 00:35:56,221
He's getting ready for his final face off
with the conqueror,

725
00:35:56,255 --> 00:35:59,988
with the ruler, the NXT champion,
Oba Femi.

726
00:36:00,021 --> 00:36:04,138
That final face off is live
and it's next on NXT.

727
00:36:08,005 --> 00:36:12,521
NXT has had a change of venue
and will emanate live from right here

728
00:36:12,555 --> 00:36:16,105
at the Performance Center in Orlando,
where right now,

729
00:36:16,138 --> 00:36:20,488
it's the number one contender
to the NXT Championship.

730
00:36:21,371 --> 00:36:22,938
["Substance Over Style" playing]

731
00:36:28,105 --> 00:36:31,555
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
the number one contender

732
00:36:31,588 --> 00:36:34,288
to the NXT Championship

733
00:36:34,321 --> 00:36:39,321
No Quarter Catch Crew, Myles Borne.

734
00:37:00,688 --> 00:37:05,355
[Vince] Can this man shock
the world again in Tampa?

735
00:37:07,071 --> 00:37:08,821
["Hands of Fate" playing]

736
00:37:30,421 --> 00:37:32,671
[announcer] And please welcome

737
00:37:32,705 --> 00:37:35,888
the NXT Champion,

738
00:37:35,921 --> 00:37:40,171
Oba Femi.

739
00:37:40,205 --> 00:37:44,038
To do so, Booker, he's gotta conquer
the conqueror.

740
00:37:44,871 --> 00:37:48,788
[Booker T] I can only imagine what Myles
is thinking right now to see Oba Femi

741
00:37:48,821 --> 00:37:52,871
make that walk. Because like I say, guys,
when you see this guy, you think

742
00:37:52,904 --> 00:37:59,271
only a couple of things,
no bread, no water, just eat.

743
00:37:59,305 --> 00:38:01,055
Oh, yes, man.

744
00:38:02,055 --> 00:38:05,071
[Vince] I hope for Myles' sake
he's able to keep his composure,

745
00:38:05,105 --> 00:38:07,888
keep this level of cool come this Sunday
at Battleground.

746
00:38:07,921 --> 00:38:12,055
Because Myles Bourne has the biggest
opportunity of his life.

747
00:38:12,088 --> 00:38:14,771
Can he capitalize? Only time will tell.

748
00:38:16,705 --> 00:38:20,338
[crowd chanting] Oba! Oba! Oba!

749
00:38:20,371 --> 00:38:22,721
Myles, I see you came alone today.

750
00:38:23,688 --> 00:38:28,521
I can't quite tell if that makes you
stupid or brave.

751
00:38:29,571 --> 00:38:30,721
Perhaps both.

752
00:38:31,538 --> 00:38:37,154
But I also do confidently feel like that
is exactly why you've made it this far.

753
00:38:37,188 --> 00:38:39,605
Even though a lot of these people
didn't believe you are going

754
00:38:39,638 --> 00:38:43,404
to make it this far, I know I didn't
believe you could make it this far.

755
00:38:43,438 --> 00:38:45,171
But look at you now

756
00:38:45,205 --> 00:38:49,805
You are the number one contender
for the NXT Championship.

757
00:38:50,488 --> 00:38:52,621
[all cheering]

758
00:38:55,471 --> 00:38:59,988
It is also in my understanding that
this match is not just a fight

759
00:39:00,021 --> 00:39:01,171
for the title.

760
00:39:02,188 --> 00:39:09,221
This is also a fight for everybody
you are going to try to inspire and uplift

761
00:39:09,255 --> 00:39:13,505
who has limitations
and struggles just like yourself.

762
00:39:14,238 --> 00:39:20,871
And I find that to be admirable,
but also very, very misleading.

763
00:39:23,205 --> 00:39:24,904
Life is cruel, Myles.

764
00:39:25,838 --> 00:39:28,438
Good things don't always happen
to good people

765
00:39:28,471 --> 00:39:32,038
and I know deep in my heart
that you are a good person.

766
00:39:33,255 --> 00:39:37,371
But however, this is not a Disney movie.

767
00:39:38,588 --> 00:39:40,488
You don't get the happy ending.

768
00:39:41,138 --> 00:39:43,438
You don't get the dream come true.

769
00:39:43,471 --> 00:39:46,404
You don't get to run off into the sunset
with my title.

770
00:39:46,438 --> 00:39:47,638
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

771
00:39:47,671 --> 00:39:52,055
Because your dream was two weeks ago
when you won the Battle Royale.

772
00:39:52,088 --> 00:39:55,521
Your dream was last week
when you beat Ethan Page.

773
00:39:56,338 --> 00:39:58,288
But make no mistake,

774
00:39:58,321 --> 00:40:04,438
this Sunday when you step into the ring
with me and that bell rings,

775
00:40:04,471 --> 00:40:07,305
your dream will die.

776
00:40:08,005 --> 00:40:10,638
Because, you will realize very quickly,

777
00:40:10,671 --> 00:40:16,038
that you are standing in the ring with the
ruler, the destroyer, the bringer of war,

778
00:40:16,071 --> 00:40:19,888
and I will be merciless,
relentless, and unforgiving.

779
00:40:19,921 --> 00:40:22,971
Because, you want me to treat you like
you are everybody else,

780
00:40:23,005 --> 00:40:26,038
you want me to treat you like
you are just like them, right?

781
00:40:26,071 --> 00:40:28,605
So be it, join the line.

782
00:40:29,138 --> 00:40:31,805
Join the list of victims.

783
00:40:31,838 --> 00:40:34,071
Your fate will end in destruction,

784
00:40:35,038 --> 00:40:39,221
in the hands of Oba Femi.

785
00:40:44,821 --> 00:40:47,388
I might be out here by myself, Oba,

786
00:40:48,221 --> 00:40:49,321
but I'm not alone.

787
00:40:50,371 --> 00:40:52,171
Tavion, Wren, and Charlie,

788
00:40:52,755 --> 00:40:54,955
they've been helping me train,
night and day.

789
00:40:55,671 --> 00:40:57,971
And, they're not the only ones
who got my back,

790
00:40:59,188 --> 00:41:01,654
I'm carrying an entire community.

every parent who worries that their child
isn't going to fit in.

794
00:41:13,121 --> 00:41:15,438
Yeah, Oba, you're right.

795
00:41:16,321 --> 00:41:18,805
This is more than just
about winning a title.

796
00:41:19,371 --> 00:41:21,355
It's about making a statement.

797

[crowd cheering]

798
00:41:22,904 --> 00:41:26,188
So, go ahead, write me off
as just another victim.

799
00:41:27,638 --> 00:41:28,721
Underestimate me.

800
00:41:29,421 --> 00:41:32,538
Like I said before,
you certainly wouldn't be the first.

801
00:41:32,571 --> 00:41:35,838
Doctors, nurses, they underestimated me.

802
00:41:36,888 --> 00:41:41,555
Every opponent that I ever stepped in
front of in amateur underestimated me.

803
00:41:42,605 --> 00:41:48,038
Hell, I'm pretty sure some coaches
at the NXT tryout underestimated me.

804
00:41:49,571 --> 00:41:51,271
But, I proved them wrong.

805
00:41:52,105 --> 00:41:53,555
[crowd clapping and cheering]

806
00:41:56,255 --> 00:42:00,505
And at Battleground, it's going to be
the toughest match of my career,

807
00:42:00,538 --> 00:42:03,955
but I've been surviving battles ever since
I was born, Oba.

808
00:42:06,771 --> 00:42:08,121
But, you're right.

809
00:42:09,171 --> 00:42:10,855
This isn't a Disney movie.

810
00:42:11,971 --> 00:42:14,288
But, every ruler falls.

811
00:42:16,855 --> 00:42:18,555
I might be hard of hearing,

812
00:42:19,221 --> 00:42:21,404
but when I shock
the world at Battleground,

813
00:42:23,005 --> 00:42:27,688
they're all going to hear the 1-2-3,
loud and clear.

-[Vic] Just dropped Oba Femi.

going to make an impact here in NXT.

826

would come to an end.

in Tampa, at Battleground?

you just have to come here

833

-and ruin my show.
-Come on, come on,

back and forth, let's end it right now.

What, tonight? You want me to break
your jaw, Ricky?

836
00:43:58,988 --> 00:44:02,288
-Because I'd absolutely love to do it.
-Both of you, sit down, before I have

837
00:44:02,321 --> 00:44:04,271
security get you out of here. Sit down!

838
00:44:04,988 --> 00:44:07,254
Imma tell you this,
if it isn't tonight, Ava,

839
00:44:07,288 --> 00:44:10,205
I'm going to destroy you,
since the moment--

840
00:44:10,238 --> 00:44:11,688
Oh, you want a match with me?

841
00:44:11,721 --> 00:44:13,571
Hey buddy, you ain't getting a match,

842
00:44:13,605 --> 00:44:16,088
I'm having way too much fun
making your life hell.

843
00:44:16,121 --> 00:44:18,471
-Enough, Ethan--
-I'm enjoying it the way it is.

844
00:44:18,504 --> 00:44:19,871
-I don't care.
-There it is.

845
00:44:19,904 --> 00:44:22,038
You don't want to get in the ring with me,

846
00:44:22,071 --> 00:44:24,355
So, let me go ahead and play your
little games with you,

847
00:44:24,388 --> 00:44:26,721
How about I put this title on the line?

848
00:44:26,754 --> 00:44:29,654
Oh yeah, the mind's
gotten real big now, didn't they?

849
00:44:29,688 --> 00:44:33,171
I like that, I like the fact that I can
keep whooping you and walk out with that.

850
00:44:33,205 --> 00:44:34,621
Where do I sign up for that, Ava?

851
00:44:34,654 --> 00:44:38,071
I knew your greedy ass would like it,
big ego, small mind.

852
00:44:38,105 --> 00:44:39,438
Listen to me!

853
00:44:39,471 --> 00:44:42,154
You two don't make matches, I do.

854
00:44:42,188 --> 00:44:45,688
Yes, Sean Legacy, he has a claim
to this title, but you know what?

855
00:44:45,721 --> 00:44:48,455
Because of the way both of you
have pissed me off

856
00:44:48,488 --> 00:44:50,988
over the last couple of weeks,
I'm gonna make an exception.

857
00:44:51,021 --> 00:44:53,138
Next week, you two can have a match.

858
00:44:53,171 --> 00:44:56,188
And because I said so,
that title's on the line.

859
00:44:56,688 --> 00:44:57,888
Get out of my office.

860
00:44:58,754 --> 00:45:00,171
Get out!

861
00:45:00,205 --> 00:45:03,471
[Corey] Ah, Ava laying down the law.

862
00:45:07,038 --> 00:45:08,388
[bell dinging]

863
00:45:08,421 --> 00:45:12,088
[Mike] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

864
00:45:12,121 --> 00:45:15,321
Introducing first, from Miami, Florida,

865
00:45:15,355 --> 00:45:17,721
Lola Vice!

866
00:45:17,754 --> 00:45:21,038
[Corey] Book, you got any of that caffeine
still buzzing through your system?

867
00:45:21,071 --> 00:45:23,338
[Booker T] Lola, man!

868
00:45:23,371 --> 00:45:26,021
[Vic] Lola Vice, not always
looking for a fight

869
00:45:26,055 --> 00:45:28,371
but she'll never run away from one.

870
00:45:28,404 --> 00:45:32,004
[Corey] Lola Vice goes one-on-one
with Fallon Henley,

871
00:45:32,038 --> 00:45:34,055
next, on NXT.

872
00:45:37,105 --> 00:45:39,421
Time for tonight's NXT Spotlight.

873
00:45:46,555 --> 00:45:50,488
The worst thing about betrayal
is it never comes from your enemies.

874
00:45:51,205 --> 00:45:52,688
It comes from family.

875
00:45:55,738 --> 00:45:57,571
Stacks, you mother--

876
00:46:03,771 --> 00:46:05,754
Look, I tried, okay?

877
00:46:05,788 --> 00:46:08,421
I tried to understand
why you did this to me.

878
00:46:08,455 --> 00:46:10,821
I tried to understand why
you did this to the family.

879
00:46:11,555 --> 00:46:12,788
But I can't.

880
00:46:13,821 --> 00:46:15,088
'Cause I'm not a coward.

881
00:46:15,121 --> 00:46:17,188
I thought me and you were built the same.

882
00:46:17,221 --> 00:46:19,671
Certain we were cut from the same cloth.

883
00:46:19,705 --> 00:46:22,504
Look, growing up as kids,
you were tough as nails.

884
00:46:22,538 --> 00:46:25,271
Demonstrated loyalty to a fault.

885
00:46:26,004 --> 00:46:27,771
Or so I thought, Stacks.

886
00:46:27,805 --> 00:46:30,388
Look, I brought you into NXT.

887
00:46:30,421 --> 00:46:31,871
I did that.

888
00:46:31,904 --> 00:46:33,988
Me and you, we ran the D'Angelo family.

889
00:46:34,021 --> 00:46:35,355
We rose to power.

890
00:46:35,388 --> 00:46:37,871
Me as the Don, you as the underboss.

891
00:46:37,904 --> 00:46:39,188
That wasn't good enough.

892
00:46:40,055 --> 00:46:42,738
Nah. See, you wanted all the glory.

893
00:46:42,771 --> 00:46:44,504
You wanted to be the shot caller.

894
00:46:44,538 --> 00:46:46,821
You wanted everybody
to pay tribute to you.

895
00:46:49,221 --> 00:46:50,271
I get it.

896
00:46:51,838 --> 00:46:53,404
But here's the thing, Stacks.

897
00:46:53,971 --> 00:46:55,471
You don't get it.

898
00:46:55,504 --> 00:46:58,738
See, you only see what
I allowed you to see.

899
00:46:59,605 --> 00:47:02,321
See, as the Don,
there's a lot of pressure.

900
00:47:02,355 --> 00:47:06,055
You feel the full weight of the family
on your shoulders.

901
00:47:06,621 --> 00:47:09,321
You? You're worried
about yourself. That's easy.

902
00:47:09,355 --> 00:47:11,638
That's why you're never
gonna sit in the big chair.

903
00:47:12,688 --> 00:47:15,555
You got guts, but you got no brains.

904
00:47:15,588 --> 00:47:18,105
You're hot-headed, you've made your bed,

905
00:47:18,138 --> 00:47:20,288
and at Battleground,
you're gonna lay in it.

906
00:47:20,321 --> 00:47:22,938
'Cause on Sunday, there is no betrayal.

907
00:47:22,971 --> 00:47:25,138
There is no bailout.

908
00:47:25,171 --> 00:47:26,571
Just me

909
00:47:26,605 --> 00:47:28,404
breaking your face.

910
00:47:30,188 --> 00:47:34,004
[Corey] The ultimate betrayal
has left a family shattered

911
00:47:34,038 --> 00:47:35,555
and a score to be settled.

912
00:47:36,555 --> 00:47:42,404
The Don, Tony D'Angelo goes one-on-one
with the former underboss, Stacks.

913
00:47:43,938 --> 00:47:45,421
At Battleground.

914
00:48:02,138 --> 00:48:07,055
Lola Vice, very focused
on the task at hand.

915
00:48:07,088 --> 00:48:09,105

♪ We don't negotiate, we only… ♪

921
00:48:54,254 --> 00:48:57,088
[Vic] Graves, you've got
a pretty good BS meter.

922
00:48:57,121 --> 00:48:59,621
Was Lola sucking up
to the champion earlier

923
00:48:59,654 --> 00:49:01,721
like Fatal Influence said she was?

924
00:49:01,754 --> 00:49:03,904
[Corey] No, Lola was
quite simply playing the game,

925
00:49:03,938 --> 00:49:06,321
as we say in this business,
playing politics.

926
00:49:06,355 --> 00:49:08,938
You got to keep your friends close,
your enemies closer.

927
00:49:08,971 --> 00:49:11,488
If Lola Vice wants to sniff an opportunity

928
00:49:11,521 --> 00:49:13,621
with as red hot
as the Women's Division is,

929
00:49:13,654 --> 00:49:16,421
you've got to pal up to the right people.
It's that simple.

930
00:49:16,455 --> 00:49:18,305
[Booker T] What kind of question
is that, Victor?

931
00:49:18,338 --> 00:49:21,138
[Vic] I was asking a journalist what
he thought about what happened earlier.

932
00:49:21,171 --> 00:49:23,805
[Booker T] You're not too far gone
to know that. This is a business.

933
00:49:23,838 --> 00:49:26,705
[Vic] So you're okay
with Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne

934
00:49:26,738 --> 00:49:29,555
going around, throwing things around,
false accusations?

935
00:49:29,588 --> 00:49:32,388
[Booker T] What are you talking about,
false accusations?

936
00:49:32,421 --> 00:49:35,421
How do you know they're not true?
How do you know?

937
00:49:35,455 --> 00:49:37,055
[Vic] That's why
I asked Graves his opinion.

938
00:49:37,088 --> 00:49:40,488
I'd ask you the same thing,
but I know what you're already gonna say.

939
00:49:41,154 --> 00:49:45,355
It was Lola Vice who also called out
Fallon and Jacy for last week's mishap.

940
00:49:45,388 --> 00:49:47,738
So, Booker, what more
does Lola need to do then

941
00:49:47,771 --> 00:49:50,488
to prove she deserves
a championship opportunity?

942
00:49:50,521 --> 00:49:53,305
Just think about Lola Vice.
She's a Breakout Tournament winner.

943
00:49:53,338 --> 00:49:56,254
I think she got a false sense of security

944
00:49:56,288 --> 00:49:59,188
thinking it was going to be easy
as far as that ride to the top.

945
00:49:59,221 --> 00:50:02,671
There's a lot of competition here.
She just needs to focus. That's it.

946
00:50:02,705 --> 00:50:05,721
-[Corey] Wait, wait.
-Show me you can be a leader, Fallon.

947
00:50:05,754 --> 00:50:08,938
[Corey] Jacy, I was gonna say,
offering advice from the outside,

948
00:50:08,971 --> 00:50:12,071
but it seemed like she was
talking smack to Fallon Henley.

949
00:50:12,105 --> 00:50:13,021
[Vic] I'd have to agree.

950
00:50:13,055 --> 00:50:15,455
Seemed like she was saying,
"Prove yourself to be the leader,"

951
00:50:15,488 --> 00:50:17,588
and that goes back to something Vice said,

952
00:50:17,621 --> 00:50:19,971
that they're always
getting in each other's way.

953
00:50:20,004 --> 00:50:23,154
[Corey] Look at Lola Vice utilizing
her submission background

954
00:50:23,188 --> 00:50:24,821
to great effect right now.

955
00:50:24,855 --> 00:50:29,188
[Vic] Fallon Henley able to counter that
very quickly, but Vice right back on top.

956
00:50:29,221 --> 00:50:31,571
When we talk about
the competition, Booker,

957
00:50:31,605 --> 00:50:34,904
you know, guys, our thoughts
are with Zoey Stark after what we saw.

958
00:50:35,821 --> 00:50:39,138
[Corey] Unfortunate turn of events.
This is a dangerous game.

959
00:50:39,171 --> 00:50:40,921
When we all found out, best wishes.

960
00:50:40,955 --> 00:50:43,938
[Booker T] Definitely best wishes
go out to Zoey Stark.

961
00:50:43,971 --> 00:50:46,688
Huge, huge setback for her,

962
00:50:46,721 --> 00:50:49,004
but I'm sure she's going to make her way
back to the top.

963
00:50:49,721 --> 00:50:52,071
Jacy Jayne on the outside, and, uh…

964
00:50:52,105 --> 00:50:54,638
Graves, you bring up a great point.

965
00:50:54,671 --> 00:50:58,138
Is she trying to cheer on her teammate?

966
00:50:58,171 --> 00:51:02,071
Is she against her teammate?
Is she trying to push a button?

967
00:51:02,105 --> 00:51:04,654
[Corey] It could be
backhanded motivation sometimes.

968
00:51:04,688 --> 00:51:08,838
You know somebody who works their best
when they're angry, when they're fired up.

969
00:51:08,871 --> 00:51:10,771
Maybe Jacy knows something that we don't.

970
00:51:10,805 --> 00:51:12,838
Or maybe she's trying to get
under the skin of Fallon.

971
00:51:12,871 --> 00:51:15,571
[Booker T] These things happen, man.
Fallon Henley lost her championship.

972
00:51:15,605 --> 00:51:18,871
There's a lot of frustration
going on right now amongst the team,

973
00:51:18,904 --> 00:51:22,571
but I'm sure Fatal Influence
is gonna get the band back together.

974
00:51:22,605 --> 00:51:26,588
The tour is gonna get back on track,
and I'm talking about sell-outs, baby.

975
00:51:26,621 --> 00:51:30,654
Sell-outs all over the world.
Get your ticket to ride! Oh, yes, man!

976
00:51:30,688 --> 00:51:32,955
[Vic] Well, Booker, it was
a mighty bold prediction from Jacy

977
00:51:32,988 --> 00:51:35,638
that Fallon would take care
of Lola Vice here tonight.

978
00:51:35,671 --> 00:51:38,171
[Booker T] Yes, like I said,
that's the beginning.

979
00:51:38,205 --> 00:51:41,238
That's the beginning of getting back
on track to be redeemed.

980
00:51:41,271 --> 00:51:43,188
[Corey] Whoa! Great timing!
Looking for the armbar.

981
00:51:43,221 --> 00:51:46,471
[Vic] Fallon Henley, though, doing
a nice job of keeping her hands locked

982
00:51:46,504 --> 00:51:49,038
not allowing full extension,

983
00:51:49,071 --> 00:51:51,488
and was able to navigate
her way to the bottom rope.

984
00:51:51,521 --> 00:51:55,071
[Booker T] Great coaching from the outside
there by Jacy Jayne as well.

985
00:51:55,771 --> 00:51:59,071
[Vic] It seems maybe they are
on the same page now, in this moment.

986
00:51:59,105 --> 00:52:03,521
It was very nice, of course, of Jacy
to volunteer Fallon for this match-up.

987
00:52:03,555 --> 00:52:07,171
You know, again, If Jacy wants to prove
her worth, her caliber,

988
00:52:07,205 --> 00:52:09,538
why isn't she competing in this match-up?

989
00:52:09,571 --> 00:52:12,588
[Booker T] Why are you getting
in Fatal Influence's business?

990
00:52:12,621 --> 00:52:16,021
[Vic] I'm not getting in their business.
I'm talking about what Vice had to say.

991
00:52:16,055 --> 00:52:18,521
[Booker T] Fallon Henley
is doing a hell of a job!

992
00:52:18,555 --> 00:52:21,521
[Vic] She just got kicked to the outside,
Booker. What are you talking about?

993
00:52:21,555 --> 00:52:24,355
And now she just dropped Lola
across the top, whoa,

994
00:52:24,388 --> 00:52:27,105
and is taking control of this match.

995
00:52:27,138 --> 00:52:29,221
[Booker T] Beautiful! Surgical!

996
00:52:29,254 --> 00:52:30,738
-[yells]
-[Corey] Here comes Fallon!

997
00:52:30,771 --> 00:52:32,171
[Vic] Oh!

998
00:52:32,205 --> 00:52:35,871
Fallon Henley in control of this match.

999
00:52:35,904 --> 00:52:37,921
[Booker T] What I said, isn't it?
What I said.

1000
00:52:37,955 --> 00:52:40,404
[Corey] Did she not return
a DM or something, Vic?

1001
00:52:44,871 --> 00:52:48,004
[Vic] Lola Vice, Fallon Henley,
one-on-one in this match-up.

1002
00:52:48,038 --> 00:52:51,955
Fallon Henley has been in
complete control of this match, and,

1003
00:52:51,988 --> 00:52:55,488
you know, to remind everyone we saw
the highlights of Jordynne Grace earlier.

1004
00:52:55,521 --> 00:52:58,121
-[Corey] Whoa, backslide!
-[Vic] Rolling right through is Fallon.

1005
00:52:58,154 --> 00:53:00,555
We will hear from our Women's Champion,
Stephanie Vaquer--

1006
00:53:00,588 --> 00:53:02,605
Shoulders down again! Another near-fall.

1007
00:53:03,871 --> 00:53:07,021
And-- Oh! And here come
those educated feet there, Book.

1008
00:53:07,055 --> 00:53:10,121
[Booker T] Yes, indeed. That's something
you don't want to give Lola Vice.

1009
00:53:10,154 --> 00:53:13,338
You don't give her any space, any space,
because those feet

1010
00:53:13,371 --> 00:53:15,938
could, in a match,
in a moment's notice, man.

1011
00:53:15,971 --> 00:53:18,938
[Vic] And, look, Lola Vice won
the Breakout Tournament last year.

1012
00:53:18,971 --> 00:53:22,305
She's been close to gold in the past.
What's going to push her over the edge?

1013
00:53:22,338 --> 00:53:26,088
[Booker T] Like I said, it's just
staying in there, staying focused.

1014
00:53:26,121 --> 00:53:28,988
-Vice winning that Breakout Tournament--
-[Vic] Oh, man!

1015
00:53:29,021 --> 00:53:32,471
[Booker T] Being the Breakout Tournament
winner, you'd think she'd move up quicker,

1016
00:53:32,504 --> 00:53:35,971
but like I said, the competition
is so stiff here in NXT.

1017
00:53:36,004 --> 00:53:40,538
[Corey] As Vic said, accused Lola Vice
of sucking up to the champion,

1018
00:53:41,538 --> 00:53:44,588
that's a smart decision, that's
a smart strategy, a calculated decision--

1019
00:53:44,621 --> 00:53:47,571
-[Vic] Cover here by Henley.
-[Corey] Off the forearm by Lola Vice.

1020
00:53:47,605 --> 00:53:51,105
Lola believes in her own ability.
She knows she's got knockout power.

1021
00:53:51,138 --> 00:53:53,105
She just needs to get the bell to ring

1022
00:53:53,138 --> 00:53:56,371
and get within arm's reach
or leg's reach of the champion,

1023
00:53:56,404 --> 00:53:58,188
and we may have
a new NXT Women's Champion.

1024
00:53:58,221 --> 00:54:02,088
[Booker T] You're talking about being
in the right place at the right time.

1025
00:54:02,121 --> 00:54:03,921
[Corey] Putting herself
in the right place.

1026
00:54:03,955 --> 00:54:05,221
[Booker T] Exactly. Yes.

1027
00:54:05,254 --> 00:54:07,921
[Vic] That goes back to something
we talked about the last several weeks.

1028
00:54:07,955 --> 00:54:10,855
You take a look at Roxanne Perez, Giulia,
the list goes on and on--

1029
00:54:10,888 --> 00:54:12,538
-Submission!
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!

1030
00:54:12,571 --> 00:54:16,338
[Vic] Moving through it quickly, Henley
realizing having to get out of that.

1031
00:54:16,371 --> 00:54:19,321
This is what we've been talking about.
There's opportunities aplenty

1032
00:54:19,355 --> 00:54:21,988
in the women's division and all of NXT.

1033
00:54:22,021 --> 00:54:24,538
[Corey] No doubt about it.
The NXT Women's Division

1034
00:54:24,571 --> 00:54:27,605
is the talk of the entire sports
entertainment industry right now.

1035
00:54:27,638 --> 00:54:30,154
It is deep,
everyone is extremely talented,

1036
00:54:30,188 --> 00:54:32,055
and, above all, everyone's hungry.

1037
00:54:32,088 --> 00:54:35,471
You can feel the urgency.
It may be now or never for everyone.

1038
00:54:35,504 --> 00:54:39,421
[Vic] You can also see Jacy Jayne's
urgency, telling Fallon to suck it up.

1039
00:54:39,455 --> 00:54:41,821
Look, there's a lot of infighting
in Fatal Influence.

1040
00:54:41,855 --> 00:54:45,538
There's a lot of finger-pointing,
there's a lot of passing the blame.

1041
00:54:45,571 --> 00:54:47,371
As Jacy Jayne on the outside.

1042
00:54:48,404 --> 00:54:50,154
And Corey started it off, questioning,

1043
00:54:50,188 --> 00:54:54,504
is she out here to help, or is she
out here to poke at Fallon Henley?

1044
00:54:54,538 --> 00:54:57,821
It has been motivating, maybe at times,
breaking out into a slug fest--

1045
00:54:57,855 --> 00:54:59,688
[Booker T] What? Jacy Jayne has been

1046
00:54:59,721 --> 00:55:02,671
a hell of a player coach in this match-up.

1047
00:55:02,705 --> 00:55:04,721
I mean, come on, am I right here, Corey?

1048
00:55:04,754 --> 00:55:07,754
[Corey] I'm with you, Book.
I don't know what match Vic's watching.

1049
00:55:07,788 --> 00:55:10,904
-I don't know what you said earlier--
-[Vic] Oh-ho-ho!

1050
00:55:10,938 --> 00:55:14,705
What are you two talking about? Here's
another kick from Lola dropping Fallon.

1051
00:55:14,738 --> 00:55:16,271
[Booker T] Barking orders.

1052
00:55:16,305 --> 00:55:17,821
-That's different.
-[Vic] Huh?

1053
00:55:17,855 --> 00:55:19,538
[Booker T] Barking artists.

1054
00:55:19,571 --> 00:55:22,238
[Vic] Questioning if she's the leader
is not barking orders, Booker,

1055
00:55:22,271 --> 00:55:24,438
it's calling her out,
which is what Graves said,

1056
00:55:24,471 --> 00:55:25,921
but now Graves agreeing for you.

1057
00:55:25,955 --> 00:55:28,538
Both of you need to get off
the damn fence and watch the match!

1058
00:55:28,571 --> 00:55:30,205
-[crowd cheering]
-There's Lola Vice.

1059
00:55:30,238 --> 00:55:33,004
-Here's Booker's part. Hold on a second.
-[Corey] Calm down, Vic.

1060
00:55:33,038 --> 00:55:35,605
-[shouts indistinctly]
-[Booker T] Please. Please.

1061
00:55:35,638 --> 00:55:38,821
[Vic] You missed your whole thing,
now you're gonna be mad at me next week.

1062
00:55:38,855 --> 00:55:43,805
As Lola Vice taking control,
charging in right to the spine of Fallon.

1063
00:55:43,838 --> 00:55:46,971
Into the cover, hook to the leg,
and a near-fall.

1064
00:55:47,004 --> 00:55:48,571
What a match-up this has been.

1065
00:55:48,605 --> 00:55:50,871
[Corey] Why do you have to get so mad
all the time, Vic?

1066
00:55:51,438 --> 00:55:53,938
Lola Vice, extremely impressive right now.

1067
00:55:53,971 --> 00:55:55,904
A look somewhat resembling concern,

1068
00:55:55,938 --> 00:55:58,971
washed over the face for Jacy… [chuckles]
…for a second.

1069
00:55:59,004 --> 00:56:01,821
[Vic] Oh, missing wildly
and ripping back at the hair.

1070
00:56:01,855 --> 00:56:03,788
[Booker T] Big shot there by Fallon.

1071
00:56:03,821 --> 00:56:05,738
[Vic] And look at Lola,
right back to her feet.

1072
00:56:05,771 --> 00:56:08,038
This is that MMA background,
Graves, that we talked about.

1073
00:56:08,071 --> 00:56:11,071
Always knowing when to get
into deep waters and continuing to fight,

1074
00:56:11,105 --> 00:56:15,488
but Fallon flying through.
And maybe Fallon is fueled by Jacy Jayne.

1075
00:56:15,521 --> 00:56:18,471
[Booker T] Talking about being
on the same page, of course they are.

1076
00:56:18,504 --> 00:56:22,254
-[Vic] Oh, wow!
-[Booker T] Redemption right here.

1077
00:56:22,288 --> 00:56:23,938
[Vic] Count-- Near fall.

1078
00:56:23,971 --> 00:56:27,171
[Corey] It's not the first time
we've heard about this in sports,

1079
00:56:27,205 --> 00:56:30,004
a lot of great coaches
will use reverse motivation,

1080
00:56:30,038 --> 00:56:33,538
tell somebody what they don't wanna hear,
so they do what you want them to do.

1081
00:56:33,571 --> 00:56:35,904
That might be what Jacy
is doing right now.

1082
00:56:35,938 --> 00:56:38,254
[Vic] Apparently you don't think that way,

1083
00:56:38,288 --> 00:56:40,355
you've been yelling at me
for the last five minutes.

1084
00:56:40,388 --> 00:56:42,588
[Corey] I just came up with that
off the top of my head.

1085
00:56:42,621 --> 00:56:45,838
Look at this-- Oh, my…
Full extension on the-- No.

1086
00:56:45,871 --> 00:56:48,105
[Vic] Able to get hands.
This is what we saw earlier,

1087
00:56:48,138 --> 00:56:49,938
Fallon Henley, do a nice job and--

1088
00:56:49,971 --> 00:56:52,638
-Hey! Jacy Jayne.
-What do you think you're doing?

1089
00:56:52,671 --> 00:56:54,871
-[Corey] Shoulders down.
-[Vic] Kicking out.

1090
00:56:56,555 --> 00:56:58,654
That was a hell of an assist.

1091
00:56:58,688 --> 00:57:00,688
[arguing]

1092
00:57:03,338 --> 00:57:07,404
Again-- Oh. Again, there is your
great coaching from Jacy Jayne.

1093
00:57:07,438 --> 00:57:10,338
-And right there-- Oh!
-[all exclaim]

1094
00:57:10,371 --> 00:57:13,271
-Fist to the face.
-[all cheering]

1095
00:57:13,305 --> 00:57:14,305
[bell ringing]

1096
00:57:16,171 --> 00:57:20,338
[ring announcer] Here is your winner,
Lola Vice!

1097
00:57:20,371 --> 00:57:23,288
[Vic] That's what I was talking
about. The knockout power.

1098
00:57:23,321 --> 00:57:24,838
It only takes one,

1099
00:57:24,871 --> 00:57:28,121
and Lola Vice with the spinning back fist,

1100
00:57:28,154 --> 00:57:30,121
to the North American Champion,

1101
00:57:30,154 --> 00:57:32,621
the World Champion,
the Tag Team Champions…

1102
00:57:32,654 --> 00:57:34,654
that could be the result.

1103
00:57:34,688 --> 00:57:38,171
Watch this. Right on the chin.

1104
00:57:38,205 --> 00:57:40,754
-Good night Ms. Henley.
-[bell dings]

1105
00:57:40,788 --> 00:57:43,404
[Vic] When you ride
both sides of the fence…

1106
00:57:43,438 --> 00:57:45,771
[Corey] You never lose, right?

1107
00:57:45,805 --> 00:57:48,555
I think I've sat next
to a plenty of cards to learn that

1108
00:57:48,588 --> 00:57:49,988
but there you see again.

1109
00:57:50,021 --> 00:57:52,888
And again I will say, I've seen
kindergarten talent shows

1110
00:57:52,921 --> 00:57:55,705
with more efficiency than these two.

1111
00:57:56,805 --> 00:57:59,288
[Corey] I don't like you casting
aspersions on Fatal Influence,

1112
00:57:59,321 --> 00:58:00,805
it is a very becoming of you.

1113
00:58:00,838 --> 00:58:03,071
Yeah, exactly.

1114
00:58:03,105 --> 00:58:04,871
[Vic] That was dynamite, Booker.

1115
00:58:04,904 --> 00:58:09,355
Anyway, as I told you earlier,
our Women's Champion

1116
00:58:09,388 --> 00:58:14,221
has a lot of thoughts on her mind
as relates to Battleground this Sunday.

1117
00:58:17,921 --> 00:58:21,321
Stephanie Vaquer This Sunday you defend
your NXT Women's Championship

1118
00:58:21,355 --> 00:58:22,621
against Jordynne Grace.

1119
00:58:22,654 --> 00:58:25,305
So what's prepared you for Battleground

1120
00:58:25,338 --> 00:58:28,221
and being the NXT Women's Champion
in general?

1121
00:58:28,254 --> 00:58:32,504
Kelly, being La Primera
doesn't come without sacrifice.

1122
00:58:35,521 --> 00:58:40,238
I had my first tryout in Chile
but I wasn't ready.

1123
00:58:41,288 --> 00:58:43,904
I used that as motivation.

1124
00:58:43,938 --> 00:58:48,471
I went to Japan, Mexico
and I owned my craft.

1125
00:58:49,238 --> 00:58:51,154
[in Spanish] I owned Lucha Libre.

1126
00:58:51,188 --> 00:58:54,271
[in English] In that time
I slept in kitchen floors.

1127
00:58:54,305 --> 00:58:56,671
I cleaned people's shit.

1128
00:58:56,705 --> 00:58:59,055
[in Spanish] I was hungry, I was cold…

1129
00:58:59,088 --> 00:59:02,355
I sweat, I cried, I bled.

1130
00:59:02,871 --> 00:59:04,538
[in English] I don't look back

1131
00:59:04,571 --> 00:59:08,705
and it was a sad time in my life.

1132
00:59:08,738 --> 00:59:11,738
It was necessary to get here.

1133
00:59:12,555 --> 00:59:16,105
[Kelly] Since arriving in NXT
you've had one goal in mind,

1134
00:59:16,138 --> 00:59:19,521
to be the best woman
in the best women's division in the world.

1135
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:21,754
So do you feel
like you've accomplished that?

1136
00:59:21,788 --> 00:59:26,171
Being in NXT has been a dream come true.

1137
00:59:26,921 --> 00:59:30,038
I remember seeing Rey Mysterio
for the first time

1138
00:59:30,071 --> 00:59:34,871
and I knew I was born
to be a WWE superstar.

1139
00:59:35,871 --> 00:59:38,988
With each defense, I grow more.

1140
00:59:39,021 --> 00:59:42,071
And see the late nights in Japan,

1141
00:59:42,105 --> 00:59:44,004
the early mornings in Mexico…

1142
00:59:45,021 --> 00:59:47,271
It has all been worth it.

1143
00:59:48,605 --> 00:59:51,238
And your opponent at Battleground,
Jordynne Grace,

1144
00:59:51,271 --> 00:59:53,371
what type of challenge does she present?

1145
00:59:53,404 --> 00:59:55,605
My toughest challenge.

1146
00:59:56,138 --> 00:59:59,388
Jordynne was at the top of TNA

1147
00:59:59,421 --> 01:00:03,904
and now she wants to be the top of NXT.

1148
01:00:03,938 --> 01:00:07,605
But for me to become the best luchadora,

1149
01:00:07,638 --> 01:00:08,938
I went through hell.

1150
01:00:10,638 --> 01:00:14,605
And I made that hell my home.

1151
01:00:14,638 --> 01:00:19,338
Jordynne, she conquered championships

1152
01:00:19,371 --> 01:00:21,904
but I've conquered continents.

1153
01:00:21,938 --> 01:00:26,605
At Battleground, I will show you Jordynne,

1154
01:00:26,638 --> 01:00:29,938
when you get close to my hell,

1155
01:00:29,971 --> 01:00:32,271
you will burn in flame.

1156
01:00:35,971 --> 01:00:41,288
[Vic] Who walks out with
the Women's Championship at Battleground?

1157
01:00:42,338 --> 01:00:43,455
[bell ringing]

1158
01:00:43,488 --> 01:00:47,371
[ring announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1159
01:00:47,404 --> 01:00:50,055
Introducing first,
from Boynton Beach, Florida,

1160
01:00:50,088 --> 01:00:53,055
Kelani Jordan!

1161
01:00:53,088 --> 01:00:55,305
[Vic] Looking to make her way
to Battleground

1162
01:00:55,338 --> 01:00:57,921
and also a championship opportunity.

1163
01:00:57,955 --> 01:00:59,754
Jordan and Zaria, next.

1164
01:01:03,638 --> 01:01:05,705
[upbeat music playing]

1165
01:01:16,388 --> 01:01:21,971
Hey, we put the fear of Darkstate
in the whole locker room.

1166
01:01:22,004 --> 01:01:26,171
It all started with one man
who walked the thin line

1167
01:01:26,205 --> 01:01:29,004
between intensity
and being all out reckless.

1168
01:01:29,038 --> 01:01:32,205
I'm talking about a man
who crawled through hellfire,

1169
01:01:32,238 --> 01:01:34,671
so his brothers don't get burnt.

1170
01:01:34,705 --> 01:01:36,605
A leader of men. [chuckles]

1171
01:01:36,638 --> 01:01:39,471
My brother. This man is dangerous.

1172
01:01:39,504 --> 01:01:41,605
I'm talking about Dion Lennox.

1173
01:01:42,871 --> 01:01:44,238
[Dion] Staring a lion in the face…

1174
01:01:45,538 --> 01:01:47,621
Knowing your next move will be your last.

1175
01:01:47,654 --> 01:01:49,938
Because he could tear you apart
1,000 different ways.

1176
01:01:49,971 --> 01:01:52,971
I'm not just talking physically,
mentally too.

1177
01:01:53,004 --> 01:01:54,471
So what do you do?

1178
01:01:54,504 --> 01:01:57,705
Stand there like a statue
and pray you survive.

1179
01:01:57,738 --> 01:02:02,154
That's what it's like to go toe-to-toe,
face-to-face with Cutler James.

1180
01:02:03,371 --> 01:02:05,504
Now this man sees right through you.

1181
01:02:05,538 --> 01:02:09,338
Your illusions,
your weaknesses, your lies…

1182
01:02:09,371 --> 01:02:12,938
Because he is on a permanent
seek and destroy mission.

1183
01:02:12,971 --> 01:02:15,205
Go ahead. Give him your best shot,

1184
01:02:15,238 --> 01:02:16,955
he'll walk right through it.

1185
01:02:16,988 --> 01:02:20,305
Put him through a wall and he will
come back even more pissed off.

1186
01:02:20,338 --> 01:02:21,771
Even more dangerous.

1187
01:02:25,721 --> 01:02:29,221
And then there's the wildcard,
the on with the cunning smile.

1188
01:02:29,254 --> 01:02:31,271
His story is one of perseverance.

1189
01:02:31,305 --> 01:02:33,871
When you come from nothing,
you got nothing to lose.

1190
01:02:33,904 --> 01:02:38,438
Some people call him lucky
but he's earned everything by himself.

1191
01:02:38,471 --> 01:02:41,471
Hell, three brothers with him.
Unbeatable ain't the word.

1192
01:02:41,504 --> 01:02:43,138
Undeniable more like it.

1193
01:02:43,171 --> 01:02:46,355
When he opens his mouth,
people open their ears.

1194
01:02:48,254 --> 01:02:53,105
Who's next? Wait for them lights
to turn out and you will find out fast

1195
01:02:53,138 --> 01:02:56,671
that when Darkstate strikes,
ain't nobody safe.

1196
01:03:04,821 --> 01:03:06,955
[Vic] Let's take a trip down memory lane.

1197
01:03:06,988 --> 01:03:11,105
Graves, you were there
for this electrifying moment.

1198
01:03:11,138 --> 01:03:14,238
[Corey] I called this situation all
the way back in the middle of last summer.

1199
01:03:14,271 --> 01:03:17,404
I knew it. Knicks, Pacers.
I called the whole thing.

1200
01:03:18,271 --> 01:03:23,538
[Vic] As these two started to pick up
the tension before the season started,

1201
01:03:23,571 --> 01:03:26,721
there was uneasy tension
that was going on.

1202
01:03:26,754 --> 01:03:29,738
Especially when
the steel chair gets added.

1203
01:03:29,771 --> 01:03:32,971
You know, you bring up
the Eastern Conference finals,

1204
01:03:33,004 --> 01:03:35,621
it's almost as if Triple H
looked into a crystal ball.

1205
01:03:35,654 --> 01:03:37,238
And then this huge announcement…

1206
01:03:37,271 --> 01:03:42,254
Breaking news. Tyrese Haliburton will be
part of the Dunks and Destruction package

1207
01:03:42,288 --> 01:03:44,838
with WWE 2K25 video game.

1208
01:03:44,871 --> 01:03:46,254
It's gonna be super cool.

1209
01:03:46,288 --> 01:03:48,555
I appreciate the opportunity
and looking forward to it.

1210
01:03:51,288 --> 01:03:53,288
[upbeat music playing]

1211
01:04:00,988 --> 01:04:02,988
["Tortured Minds" playing]

1212
01:04:21,805 --> 01:04:24,121
[Mike Rome] And her opponent
accompanied by

1213
01:04:24,154 --> 01:04:27,188
the NXT Women's North American Champion,

1214
01:04:27,221 --> 01:04:30,955
Sol Ruca,
from Adelaide, South Australia…

1215
01:04:30,988 --> 01:04:34,121
[reading]

1216
01:04:34,154 --> 01:04:36,154
[crowd cheering]

1217
01:05:06,371 --> 01:05:09,621
[Vic] Who will be the talk
after this match-up?

1218
01:05:09,654 --> 01:05:14,688
Will it be Zaria for helping protect
her partner, her friend?

1219
01:05:14,721 --> 01:05:17,938
Or will it be Kelani Jordan
who will earn a championship opportunity?

1220
01:05:17,971 --> 01:05:21,504
[Corey] I'm gonna ask, am I the only one
that's getting serious gate-keeping vibes

1221
01:05:21,538 --> 01:05:22,371
from Zaria?

1222
01:05:23,105 --> 01:05:26,588
It's like when you go to a bar
and try to talk to somebody

1223
01:05:26,621 --> 01:05:28,805
and they got that friend
that's goes,

1224
01:05:28,838 --> 01:05:29,971
"She's not talking to you."

1225
01:05:30,004 --> 01:05:31,421
-[bell ringing]
-[Vic] Time to go home.

1226
01:05:31,455 --> 01:05:33,271
[Booker T] They call it
"blocking" in the hood.

1227
01:05:33,305 --> 01:05:34,904
-[Vic chuckles]
-[Zaria grunts]

1228
01:05:34,938 --> 01:05:36,105
[Corey] Look at that!

1229
01:05:36,138 --> 01:05:38,571
I've never been German suplexed in a bar.

1230
01:05:38,605 --> 01:05:40,521
[Vic] Booker's known how to put
an exclamation point

1231
01:05:40,555 --> 01:05:42,254
on everything thus far.

1232
01:05:42,288 --> 01:05:46,621
Here tonight, Zaria,
is taking it to Kelani Jordan,

1233
01:05:46,654 --> 01:05:50,488
in this moment, and again she's fighting
for her friend.

1234
01:05:50,521 --> 01:05:55,955
She's looking to make sure that
Sol Ruca doesn't have to defend her title.

1235
01:05:55,988 --> 01:05:58,055
[Corey] Asked Zaria to defend her?

1236
01:05:58,088 --> 01:06:00,921
Did Sol say she didn't want to
defend her title?

1237
01:06:00,955 --> 01:06:03,288
Does Sol not want to be
a fighting champion?

1238
01:06:03,321 --> 01:06:06,188
[Vic] Should Zaria not be fighting
the battles for Sol?

1239
01:06:06,221 --> 01:06:07,671
I see what you're saying.

1240
01:06:07,705 --> 01:06:10,471
It's hard to disagree,
because I don't necessarily know

1241
01:06:10,504 --> 01:06:11,471
what has been said.

1242
01:06:11,504 --> 01:06:13,105
[Corey] It's one thing
when it's by request

1243
01:06:13,138 --> 01:06:16,238
for somebody to watch your back
because you're a weary champion,

1244
01:06:16,271 --> 01:06:18,238
-because perhaps… Holy cow!
-[Vic] Man!

1245
01:06:18,271 --> 01:06:19,504
[Corey] …you feel vulnerable.

1246
01:06:19,538 --> 01:06:22,404
It seems to me like Zaria's just kind of
going in the business for herself.

1247
01:06:22,438 --> 01:06:24,738
-At the expense--
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!

1248
01:06:24,771 --> 01:06:27,171
-Oh, baby.
-[Vic] It was Zaria who was victorious

1249
01:06:27,205 --> 01:06:30,121
against Kelani Jordan
couple of weeks ago here on NXT.

1250
01:06:30,871 --> 01:06:32,305
Sol Ruca, looking on.

1251
01:06:36,821 --> 01:06:38,288
[Corey] Look at this from the top.

1252
01:06:38,321 --> 01:06:39,438
Here comes Jordan.

1253
01:06:39,471 --> 01:06:41,705
High crossbody,
almost rolling through is Zaria

1254
01:06:41,738 --> 01:06:42,904
putting a stop to that.

1255
01:06:42,938 --> 01:06:44,404
-That was great.
-[Vic] And a nearfall.

1256
01:06:44,438 --> 01:06:47,788
[Corey] Well done by Kelani Jordan.
Realizing that Zaria wanted to use

1257
01:06:47,821 --> 01:06:51,404
Kelani's own momentum against her
and she was able to put the brakes on.

1258
01:06:51,438 --> 01:06:52,688
Look at this!

1259
01:06:52,721 --> 01:06:55,688
[Booker T] Beautiful work there
by Kelani Jordan,

1260
01:06:55,721 --> 01:06:56,871
but back to Zaria.

1261
01:06:56,904 --> 01:06:59,221
She has become the ultimate [indistinct].

1262
01:06:59,254 --> 01:07:01,855
The question is, why guys?

1263
01:07:01,888 --> 01:07:02,971
That's the question.

1264
01:07:03,004 --> 01:07:05,855
[Vic] Now the strength
on display by Zaria.

1265
01:07:05,888 --> 01:07:08,688
And Zaria just got
countered again by Kelani.

1266
01:07:08,721 --> 01:07:10,988
-[Corey] Sleeper hold applied.
-[Vic] Right on the back.

1267
01:07:11,021 --> 01:07:14,238
[Corey] Squeezing,
trying to take down the powerhouse.

1268
01:07:14,271 --> 01:07:18,288
[Vic] Booker, is Jordan ready to
take her game to that next level?

1269
01:07:18,321 --> 01:07:21,705
[Booker T] Kelani Jordan
just three years in the business, man.

1270
01:07:21,738 --> 01:07:23,871
The first North American champion.

1271
01:07:23,904 --> 01:07:26,821
She's already proved her point
in this business.

1272
01:07:26,855 --> 01:07:31,105
It's just about adding on
to the legacy of Kelani Jordan.

1273
01:07:31,138 --> 01:07:33,888
Looking for a little combination.
Offense. Nice block.

1274
01:07:33,921 --> 01:07:35,838
Firing back.
What a night it's been, still to come.

1275
01:07:35,871 --> 01:07:39,738
TNA World Champion, Joe Hendry,
and his concert?

1276
01:07:39,771 --> 01:07:42,488
[Corey] Book, I've gotta agree
with you whole-heartedly.

1277
01:07:42,521 --> 01:07:44,754
Kelani accomplished the task of becoming

1278
01:07:44,788 --> 01:07:47,205
the first Women's North American champion.

1279
01:07:47,238 --> 01:07:48,771
And she's only improved since then.

1280
01:07:48,805 --> 01:07:50,871
She's only gotten meaner.

1281
01:07:50,904 --> 01:07:52,888
-Well, talk about--
-[Booker T] Oh, baby.

1282
01:07:52,921 --> 01:07:55,638
[Vic] That is what Zaria has
in this moment.

1283
01:07:55,671 --> 01:07:58,138
Is Kelani gonna make her way
to Battleground?

1284
01:07:58,171 --> 01:08:00,321
Or can Zaria block her chances?

1285
01:08:04,355 --> 01:08:05,254
[crowd cheering]

1286
01:08:05,288 --> 01:08:07,121
[Vic] Kelani Jordan,
fighting for an opportunity

1287
01:08:07,154 --> 01:08:09,055
to head to Battleground in Tampa

1288
01:08:10,254 --> 01:08:12,771
for the NXT Women's
North American championship

1289
01:08:12,805 --> 01:08:14,855
All she has to do is beat Zaria tonight.

1290
01:08:15,421 --> 01:08:17,838
Roll through, shoulders down. Nearfall.

1291
01:08:19,138 --> 01:08:22,088
Kelani Jordan, trying to jump
right through any hoop she can.

1292
01:08:22,121 --> 01:08:25,138
Was the first woman to win
the Women's North American title.

1293
01:08:25,171 --> 01:08:27,288
[Corey] Sunset flip attempt
from the outside.

1294
01:08:27,321 --> 01:08:29,005
-Zaria just too strong.
-[Zaria grunts]

1295
01:08:29,038 --> 01:08:30,904
[Corey] She's put the brakes
on Kelani's hopes.

1296
01:08:31,788 --> 01:08:32,621
[Kelani grunts]

1297
01:08:32,654 --> 01:08:34,638
[Corey] Oh, dropkick to the knee.

1298
01:08:35,938 --> 01:08:37,421
[Corey and Vic] And a DDT.

1299
01:08:37,455 --> 01:08:39,388
[Vic] Kelani Jordan back in control here.

1300
01:08:39,421 --> 01:08:43,654
Jordan wants to be part of a huge
WWE weekend in Tampa.

1301
01:08:43,688 --> 01:08:45,371
We talked about winning
that title, Booker.

1302
01:08:45,404 --> 01:08:49,604
We were there when Kelani Jordan did it
at Battleground last year.

1303
01:08:49,638 --> 01:08:53,205
And she beat the field,
which included the current champion,

1304
01:08:53,238 --> 01:08:54,088
Sol Ruca.

1305
01:08:54,121 --> 01:08:56,854
[Booker T] Kelani used some of
the same tactics that she used back then.

1306
01:08:56,888 --> 01:08:58,338
Speed and tenacity.

1307
01:08:58,371 --> 01:09:01,538
Trying to stay one step ahead of Zaria.

1308
01:09:02,038 --> 01:09:04,304
A fight just broke out guys.

1309
01:09:04,338 --> 01:09:07,371
[Corey] A huge week for Kelani Jordan,
who's hot on the heels of

1310
01:09:07,404 --> 01:09:09,371
not only Sol Ruca's
North American championship,

1311
01:09:09,404 --> 01:09:11,621
but also the WWE Speed championship.

1312
01:09:11,654 --> 01:09:13,638
Kelani is in the semi-final tomorrow.

1313
01:09:14,304 --> 01:09:16,338
[Vic] You've seen
a lot of Kelani Jordan,

1314
01:09:16,371 --> 01:09:18,904
because if you watch WWE Speed,
there's a time limit.

1315
01:09:18,938 --> 01:09:20,121
You gotta get the job done.

1316
01:09:20,154 --> 01:09:21,371
What has stood out about Kelani?

1317
01:09:21,404 --> 01:09:23,005
[Corey] Kelani understands the assignment.

1318
01:09:23,038 --> 01:09:24,938
Sometimes you just gotta drop
the heavy artillery.

1319
01:09:24,971 --> 01:09:26,804
Although, I would advise against that

1320
01:09:26,838 --> 01:09:29,738
when your opponent is someone
as powerful as Zaria.

1321
01:09:29,771 --> 01:09:31,171
[Vic] Swing and a miss from Zaria.

1322
01:09:31,205 --> 01:09:34,604
Kelani charging right in,
and feeling the momentum.

1323
01:09:34,638 --> 01:09:37,738
And if you can see Sol Ruca,
hands on her head.

1324
01:09:37,771 --> 01:09:41,705
She knows maybe she's gonna have
a championship match

1325
01:09:41,738 --> 01:09:44,621
at Battleground against Kelani Jordan.

1326
01:09:44,654 --> 01:09:47,571
If Jordan can finish the job here tonight.

1327
01:09:49,371 --> 01:09:50,888
[Corey] Jordan walking on that top rope.

1328
01:09:50,921 --> 01:09:53,354
[Vic] That Tornado DDT was countered.
Chargin' in.

1329
01:09:53,388 --> 01:09:55,154
Missed pump kick from Zaria right back in.

1330
01:09:55,188 --> 01:09:57,621
Dropkick from Kelani.

1331
01:09:57,654 --> 01:10:01,405
And the former Michigan state
lady Spartan is in control.

1332
01:10:01,438 --> 01:10:03,405
If you don't succeed, try again.

1333
01:10:03,438 --> 01:10:06,571
That DDT connected
with a little extra umph.

1334
01:10:06,605 --> 01:10:09,405
Going into the cover to head to
Battleground!

1335
01:10:09,438 --> 01:10:10,355
[Booker T] Oh, man!

1336
01:10:10,388 --> 01:10:11,838
[Vic] And a kick-out.

1337
01:10:11,871 --> 01:10:13,571
Trying to punch her ticket
to Battleground.

1338
01:10:13,605 --> 01:10:16,655
Someone who punched their ticket
to the money in the bank matches,

1339
01:10:16,688 --> 01:10:20,438
-Roxanne Perez
-[Booker T] Yes, indeed.

1340
01:10:20,471 --> 01:10:23,005
She's moved up right now.

1341
01:10:23,038 --> 01:10:24,738
I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry!

1342
01:10:24,771 --> 01:10:26,554
[Corey] Booker's been fired up all night.

1343
01:10:26,588 --> 01:10:28,804
-Look at this!
-[Vic] She also signed her contract

1344
01:10:28,838 --> 01:10:30,355
on RAW and as Booker would say,

1345
01:10:30,388 --> 01:10:32,088
"Then she walked out
of our lives forever."

1346
01:10:32,121 --> 01:10:34,871
[Vic] Roll through!
Shoulders down and nearfall.

1347
01:10:34,905 --> 01:10:36,271
[Booker T] So close.

1348
01:10:36,304 --> 01:10:38,738
[Vic] And right back up is Kelani.

1349
01:10:38,771 --> 01:10:43,171
Dropped by Zaria
and I think fun and games are over.

1350
01:10:43,205 --> 01:10:44,888
[Corey] That was an ugly sound.

1351
01:10:44,921 --> 01:10:49,338
[Booker T] In this match-up,
Zaria could take a three-to-one

1352
01:10:49,371 --> 01:10:51,955
and still land that big shot
and it could be all over with.

1353
01:10:51,988 --> 01:10:54,121
[Vic] Nice counter.
We might get a counter for counter.

1354
01:10:54,155 --> 01:10:56,054
I don't know if she's looking
for a dragon sleeper,

1355
01:10:56,088 --> 01:10:58,688
but it got countered into this backpack.

1356
01:10:58,721 --> 01:11:00,821
-Almost stunner, but it's--
-[Corey] Oh, God!

1357
01:11:00,855 --> 01:11:07,588
[Vic] Cannonball! Even Sol Ruca
taken back by gnarly landing.

1358
01:11:08,688 --> 01:11:09,905
Oh, my word!

1359
01:11:09,938 --> 01:11:11,038
Hoisted up!

1360
01:11:11,071 --> 01:11:13,421
-[Booker T] She's out.
-[Vic] Kelani, though…

1361
01:11:14,155 --> 01:11:16,121
I don't know how she's
continuing to fight,

1362
01:11:16,155 --> 01:11:17,605
how she's continuing to struggle,

1363
01:11:17,638 --> 01:11:19,121
how she's able to stay on her feet.

1364
01:11:19,155 --> 01:11:20,804
[Corey] It's gotta be instinct
at this point.

1365
01:11:20,838 --> 01:11:23,655
Zaria, up over the top rope
and a pump kick.

1366
01:11:23,688 --> 01:11:24,688
On the money!

1367
01:11:24,721 --> 01:11:26,138
[Vic] This is what we've been saying.

1368
01:11:26,171 --> 01:11:30,321
Momentum can help anyone take over NXT.

1369
01:11:30,355 --> 01:11:32,438
[Corey] It can take you
a long way if you're able to

1370
01:11:32,471 --> 01:11:33,621
ride the wave…

1371
01:11:33,655 --> 01:11:34,788
And now Zaria…

1372
01:11:36,355 --> 01:11:38,405
spilling into the arms of Sol Ruca.

1373
01:11:38,438 --> 01:11:40,188
[Vic] I hope that superkick didn't--

1374
01:11:40,221 --> 01:11:42,455
Sol, trying to calm Zaria down
and refocus her.

1375
01:11:42,488 --> 01:11:43,838
Oh!

1376
01:11:43,871 --> 01:11:47,121
Kelani Jordan's fighting for
a championship opportunity.

1377
01:11:47,155 --> 01:11:52,071
She's gotta pull out all the stops
because there is no tomorrow for Kelani.

1378
01:11:52,105 --> 01:11:53,255
She's got to do it now.

1379
01:11:53,288 --> 01:11:56,471
[Booker T] A door just opened right there.
Kelani took advantage of it.

1380
01:12:00,738 --> 01:12:04,571
[Vic] Sol obviously dealing with Kelani--
And… [exclaims]

1381
01:12:04,605 --> 01:12:06,105
And paid the price!

1382
01:12:06,871 --> 01:12:08,005
Miscommunication.

1383
01:12:08,038 --> 01:12:10,421
Kelani from behind,
shoulders down.

1384
01:12:10,455 --> 01:12:11,554
[bell ringing]

1385
01:12:11,588 --> 01:12:13,271
Kelani is headed to Battleground.

1386
01:12:13,304 --> 01:12:14,304
[music playing]

1387
01:12:14,338 --> 01:12:19,821
[ring announcer] Here is your winner,
Kelani Jordan!

1388
01:12:19,855 --> 01:12:22,888
[Corey] Kelani Jordan,
credit where it is due,

1389
01:12:22,921 --> 01:12:25,788
was able to get past the dominant Zaria,

1390
01:12:25,821 --> 01:12:31,338
utilizing her wits, her brains,
her mental abilities.

1391
01:12:32,105 --> 01:12:36,038
Zaria took her eye off the task at hand
and paid for it.

1392
01:12:36,071 --> 01:12:38,688
Congratulations, Kelani Jordan.

1393
01:12:39,205 --> 01:12:40,804
[Vic] Well, can she make it two in a row?

1394
01:12:40,838 --> 01:12:45,088
Because Graves,
we can mark it down for Tampa.

1395
01:12:46,638 --> 01:12:51,521
[Corey] The NXT Women's North American
Championship will be on the line

1396
01:12:51,554 --> 01:12:55,371
as the reigning champion Sol Ruca
defends against the woman

1397
01:12:55,405 --> 01:12:58,188
who just earned the opportunity,
Kelani Jordan.

1398
01:12:59,488 --> 01:13:02,655
[Vic] And it all comes down
to who is truly the best.

1399
01:13:02,688 --> 01:13:04,804
The Juggernaut faces the Dark Angel,

1400
01:13:04,838 --> 01:13:08,304
who warned the challenger
she will burn in flames.

1401
01:13:08,338 --> 01:13:11,721
Grace, Vaquer care for the women's title
at Battleground.

1402
01:13:11,755 --> 01:13:14,255
[Corey] You might want to reinforce
the ring for this one.

1403
01:13:14,888 --> 01:13:17,588
Hank and Tank,
the NXT tag team champions

1404
01:13:17,621 --> 01:13:22,688
join forces with Josh Briggs
to battle Shawn Spears and The Culling

1405
01:13:22,721 --> 01:13:24,938
in a six-man tag team match.

1406
01:13:24,971 --> 01:13:27,371
[Vic] They had their final face-off
earlier tonight.

1407
01:13:27,888 --> 01:13:31,721
[Vic] The question is, can Myles Borne
conquer the conqueror?

1408
01:13:31,755 --> 01:13:33,971
Oba Femi defends the NXT Championship

1409
01:13:34,005 --> 01:13:39,571
against NQCC's Myles Borne
in Tampa at Battleground.

1410
01:13:39,605 --> 01:13:43,688
[Corey] And unfathomable betrayal
has led to this point.

1411
01:13:44,221 --> 01:13:47,521
Family business will be settled
once and for all,

1412
01:13:47,554 --> 01:13:50,171
as The Don, Tony D'Angelo,

1413
01:13:50,205 --> 01:13:54,105
battles The Underboss, Stacks,
at Battleground.

1414
01:13:57,771 --> 01:14:02,271
[Vic] Well, not to be outdone,
the guitar is tuned, we are ready.

1415
01:14:02,304 --> 01:14:07,888
TNA world champion Joe Hendry
is in concert live next.

1416
01:14:12,688 --> 01:14:14,605
NXT here in the performance center,

1417
01:14:14,638 --> 01:14:17,838
and our general manager, Ava,
wants this issue settled.

1418
01:14:17,871 --> 01:14:20,221
Saints puts the North American title
on the line

1419
01:14:20,255 --> 01:14:23,188
to get his hands on Ethan Page NXT live.

1420
01:14:34,288 --> 01:14:39,438

Melo's bitch. Melo's bitch.

1486
01:19:03,771 --> 01:19:06,238
Y'all can keep chanting if you want to.

1487
01:19:06,271 --> 01:19:08,371
Y'all can keep chanting if you want to.

1488
01:19:08,405 --> 01:19:09,938
But I heard someone say,

1489
01:19:10,955 --> 01:19:12,371
"Average Joe."

1490
01:19:13,038 --> 01:19:14,621
[crowd clamoring]

1491
01:19:15,388 --> 01:19:16,671
[imperceptible]

1492
01:19:17,405 --> 01:19:21,304
[crowd chanting] Average Joe.
Average Joe. Average Joe.

1493
01:19:22,405 --> 01:19:23,521
[Vic] Oh!

1494
01:19:24,455 --> 01:19:28,588
Well, Trick obviously has heard enough
of this Joe Hendry concert.

1495
01:19:29,621 --> 01:19:35,771
And is sending a message directly
to the TNA world champion.

1496
01:19:35,804 --> 01:19:37,738
[Booker T] Talk now. Talk now.

1497
01:19:40,721 --> 01:19:41,804
[Vic] Oh!

1498
01:19:42,755 --> 01:19:43,988
Trickshot fail.

1499
01:19:44,771 --> 01:19:47,554
[Corey] That backfired in
spectacular fashion.

1500
01:19:47,588 --> 01:19:53,471
[Vic] The NXT universe is giving
Joe Hendry a standing ovation!

1501
01:19:53,505 --> 01:19:55,471
[cheering and applause]

1502
01:20:01,371 --> 01:20:04,105

the TNA world title will be defended.

1507
01:20:22,304 --> 01:20:24,571
Will Trick play his greatest hit

1508
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:28,238
or can Hendry prove to Williams
he is no average Joe

1509
01:20:28,271 --> 01:20:29,921
and not a one-hit wonder.

1510
