The double champion addresses
the universe here live tonight.

13
00:01:02,305 --> 00:01:04,171
The revolution is in Houston.

14
00:01:04,205 --> 00:01:08,121
Ricky Saints will battle
Jasper Troy live on NXT.

it couldn't get any bigger,

let's talk about our main event.

17
00:01:13,304 --> 00:01:17,421
Because Oba Femi will defend the NXT
Championship in a Triple Threat match.

18
00:01:17,455 --> 00:01:20,488
Can the ruler overcome the odds

19

here tonight on NXT?

20
00:01:23,005 --> 00:01:26,854
And arriving is TNA World Champion
Trick Williams,

21
00:01:26,888 --> 00:01:29,088
who will enter
the Undertaker's yard

22
00:01:29,121 --> 00:01:30,604

And welcome to NXT!

He's not asleep. He lives here.

30
00:01:56,171 --> 00:01:57,655
He lives here, but last I talked to him,

31
00:01:57,688 --> 00:01:59,421
he was standing outside
the Performance Center.

32
00:01:59,455 --> 00:02:01,171
Think he got the email
we were here tonight?

33
00:02:01,205 --> 00:02:02,604
You know what? I typically know

34
00:02:02,638 --> 00:02:04,588
that he sometimes does get sidetracked,

35
00:02:04,621 --> 00:02:06,554

but friends of necessity,

The Culling are a well-oiled machine.

00:06:48,955 --> 00:06:51,805
NXT here in Houston, this thing was just
three months from being there.

133

Trick Williams.

141
00:07:10,338 --> 00:07:12,888
[Corey] Look, I know Trick Williams
is feeling extremely confident

142
00:07:12,921 --> 00:07:16,121
as the man who's carrying two brands,
to use his own words.

143
00:07:16,155 --> 00:07:18,155
But an encounter with The Dead Man

144
00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:21,604
is nothing you can adequately prepare for,
no matter who you are.

That's certainly a nice block here,
as right now,

147
00:07:26,104 --> 00:07:29,405
trying to turn things around
is Hank for his team,

148
00:07:29,438 --> 00:07:30,588
and, you know, Graves,

149
00:07:30,621 --> 00:07:32,538
was it good to see finally,
some fire

150
00:07:32,571 --> 00:07:34,221
come out of our tag team champions?

And the tag was made.

152
00:07:35,271 --> 00:07:38,555

as they were already reigning champions.

But Booker doesn't Hank and Tank,

158
00:07:49,438 --> 00:07:51,971
don't they need to be extra mindful
of all the tag teams?

159
00:07:52,005 --> 00:07:54,405
I'm talking of all of NXT and TNA.

160
00:07:54,438 --> 00:07:57,221

-[Vic] And again,

164
00:08:03,804 --> 00:08:06,971

women fight the women here in this…

165
00:08:07,005 --> 00:08:09,371

167
00:08:11,221 --> 00:08:14,138
But Tatum, flying in, got caught by Zaria.

168
00:08:14,171 --> 00:08:17,038
[Corey] Zaria, the powerhouse,
flexing her abilities.

169
00:08:17,071 --> 00:08:18,738
Look at this!

170
00:08:18,771 --> 00:08:22,488
[Vic] Showing off the strength
that we all know and… whoa.

171
00:08:22,521 --> 00:08:25,338
Tatum quickly getting out,
tagging in Shawn Spears.

172
00:08:25,371 --> 00:08:27,354
Which means either Hank or Tank
enters the fray,

173
00:08:27,388 --> 00:08:29,038
and it is Big Tank!

174
00:08:29,071 --> 00:08:30,371
Just delivered a big clothesline.

175
00:08:30,405 --> 00:08:31,604
[Booker] Watch your back, son!

176
00:08:31,638 --> 00:08:34,088
[Vic] A tag was made! I don't know,
did Niko Vance not see it?

177
00:08:34,121 --> 00:08:35,971
[Corey] I don't know if Niko Vance
really cares.

178
00:08:36,005 --> 00:08:39,804
Vance doesn't strike me as the type
to pay much attention to the rules.

179
00:08:39,838 --> 00:08:41,471
-Here we go!
-[Vic] Whoa!

180
00:08:41,505 --> 00:08:43,255
[Corey] Bulldozing Tank in the corner.

181
00:08:43,288 --> 00:08:46,005
[Vic] Niko Vance had it scouted,
and just like we started,

182
00:08:46,038 --> 00:08:49,138
things starting to break down
into a melee in Houston.

183
00:08:49,171 --> 00:08:50,555
[Corey] Here we go again!

184
00:08:50,588 --> 00:08:52,171
[Booker] Culling got a plan tonight, guys.

185
00:08:52,204 --> 00:08:53,788
I could feel it in my bones.

186
00:08:53,821 --> 00:08:55,055
[Vic] And as Mike Tyson said,

187
00:08:55,088 --> 00:08:56,888
everyone has a plan
until they get…

188
00:08:56,921 --> 00:08:58,521
[Booker] …punched in the face!

189
00:09:00,954 --> 00:09:03,905
[Corey] And we see
Hank, Tank, Zaria and Sol…

190
00:09:03,938 --> 00:09:05,405
[Vic] Booker, get ready.

191
00:09:05,438 --> 00:09:07,155
Hopefully you don't forget this.

192
00:09:07,905 --> 00:09:10,721
[Booker T] Don't start with me, man.
Don't start with me.

193
00:09:11,505 --> 00:09:14,438
[Joseph] All four meeting of the mind.

194
00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:17,505
Which team is gonna stand tall?

195
00:09:18,421 --> 00:09:21,688
[Graves] Which team is going to battle
the Tune Squad after this?

196
00:09:22,305 --> 00:09:23,888
NXT rolls on.

197
00:09:23,921 --> 00:09:26,621
[crowd chanting "NXT"]

198
00:09:28,871 --> 00:09:31,171
[Joseph] Eight-Person Tag Team matchup
continuing.

199
00:09:31,204 --> 00:09:35,588
Niko Vance has become
a one-man wrecking crew in this matchup.

200
00:09:35,621 --> 00:09:38,321
Really has turned
things around for his team.

201
00:09:38,355 --> 00:09:40,921
Hank for Tank
trying to get back into it somewhat,

202
00:09:40,954 --> 00:09:43,954
because again, the men fight the men,
the women fight the women.

203
00:09:43,988 --> 00:09:45,305
[Booker T] Big shot there by Tank.

204
00:09:45,338 --> 00:09:48,805
But right now it's Niko Vance
still trying to trying

205
00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:52,555
-to mount some offense here.
-[Graves] Trying to string together.

206
00:09:52,588 --> 00:09:54,605
-Oh, my goodness!
-[Booker T] Oh, man!

207
00:09:54,638 --> 00:09:56,071
[Joseph] Niko Vance didn't even budge.

208
00:09:56,105 --> 00:09:57,821
I thought that was a double noggin knocker

209
00:09:57,855 --> 00:10:00,005
and it was not
as Nicco Vance going to the top.

210
00:10:00,038 --> 00:10:01,738
[Graves] Who's got a head
like a cinder block.

211
00:10:01,771 --> 00:10:03,321
[Joseph] Look out! Oh!

212
00:10:03,371 --> 00:10:04,921
[Booker T] Man, he ate it.

213
00:10:04,954 --> 00:10:07,471
He certainly did and now for Tank,

214
00:10:07,505 --> 00:10:10,221
he's got to make a tag to anybody.

215
00:10:11,521 --> 00:10:13,938
[Graves] And we've learned
over the past several months

216
00:10:13,971 --> 00:10:15,738
just how tough Hank and Tank can be

217
00:10:15,771 --> 00:10:18,171
when the chips are down
when it matters most.

218
00:10:18,204 --> 00:10:19,688
Shawn Spears trying to run.

219
00:10:20,621 --> 00:10:23,321
A little bit of interference
after making the tag. He is legal.

220
00:10:23,355 --> 00:10:25,505
Speaking of which,
helping out his partner.

221
00:10:25,538 --> 00:10:29,671
Tank exploding out of the corner,
dropping Spears, and now,

222
00:10:30,471 --> 00:10:33,121
Tank's got to do everything he's got left

223
00:10:33,155 --> 00:10:35,655
to get over to his corner,
but he's still, Booker,

224
00:10:35,688 --> 00:10:36,738
such a long way away.

225
00:10:36,788 --> 00:10:38,954
[Booker T] That's what I like
about Hank and Tank,

226
00:10:38,988 --> 00:10:42,505
they are truly brothers to the bone,
and they've come into their own…

227
00:10:42,538 --> 00:10:44,788
-Oh, baby!
-[Joseph] Back body drop!

228
00:10:44,838 --> 00:10:46,121
[Booker T] Big back drop!

229
00:10:46,155 --> 00:10:49,121
-[Joseph] Tatum Paxley's in.
-[Graves] Here comes Sol Ruca.

230
00:10:49,155 --> 00:10:50,605
[Booker T] Here we go, baby!

231
00:10:50,638 --> 00:10:51,954
[Joseph] Graves, you got to admit.

232
00:10:51,988 --> 00:10:54,871
Sol Ruca has been opening some eyes
around the WWE.

233
00:10:54,905 --> 00:10:56,155
[Graves] No doubt about it.

234
00:10:56,188 --> 00:11:00,821
The name on the lips of the WWE Universe,
Sol Ruca and her abilities.

235
00:11:00,855 --> 00:11:03,105
But with that… Oh, my gosh!

236
00:11:03,138 --> 00:11:05,488
[Joseph] Sol Ruca
just wiped out The Culling.

237
00:11:05,521 --> 00:11:08,621
And now the only woman left
is Tatum Paxley.

238
00:11:08,655 --> 00:11:10,605
[Booker T] Talking about special.

239
00:11:10,638 --> 00:11:12,921
[Graves] You're absolutely right, Book.
Tag made to Zaria.

240
00:11:12,954 --> 00:11:16,055
But as Sol is finding out,
with all the hype

241
00:11:16,088 --> 00:11:18,971
comes a massive target
on your back of superstars

242
00:11:19,005 --> 00:11:21,138
looking to hang their name
at your expense.

243
00:11:21,171 --> 00:11:23,538
[Joseph] Paxley going down.
Listen to this place.

244
00:11:23,571 --> 00:11:25,688
Ready to explode here in Houston.

245
00:11:25,721 --> 00:11:29,388
[Booker T] Double up one time, baby.
Oh, yes!

246
00:11:29,421 --> 00:11:30,555
[Joseph] Zaria is legal.

247
00:11:30,588 --> 00:11:33,088
-Zaria, into the cover, into the pin.
-[crowd] One, two…

248
00:11:33,138 --> 00:11:36,921
[Joseph] And Izzi Dame breaking things up
right here at the last moment.

249
00:11:36,954 --> 00:11:39,905
And look, we know the relationship
between Izzi and Tatum.

250
00:11:39,938 --> 00:11:42,121
[crowd chanting "This is awesome"]

251
00:11:42,704 --> 00:11:44,905
[Joseph] Big headbutt by Zaria.

252
00:11:44,938 --> 00:11:47,138
Tatum coming in with a step up enzuigiri.

253
00:11:47,171 --> 00:11:49,755
[Graves] As unorthodox as Tatum Paxley
may be,

254
00:11:49,788 --> 00:11:51,871
she's an incredibly talented athlete,

255
00:11:51,905 --> 00:11:53,438
a powerhouse in the ring.

256
00:11:53,471 --> 00:11:56,471
Good lord!
Tank just propelled himself into the sky.

257
00:11:56,505 --> 00:12:00,338
[Joseph] And now take a look at Hank
and Tank with some high-impact offense.

258
00:12:00,371 --> 00:12:03,271
But there's Shawn Spears' superkick
coming right back in.

259
00:12:03,305 --> 00:12:05,805
Just took out the NXT Tag Team Champions.

260
00:12:05,838 --> 00:12:07,571
Spears starting to feel it…

261
00:12:07,605 --> 00:12:09,371
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!
-[Joseph] …got dropped.

262
00:12:09,405 --> 00:12:13,105
[Graves] Niko Vance just knocked
this doll off the top of I don't know…

263
00:12:13,138 --> 00:12:14,738
[crosstalk]

264
00:12:14,771 --> 00:12:16,155
[Joseph] Izzi Dame back in.

265
00:12:17,088 --> 00:12:20,488
She's now taken over.
Izzi, who has taken Tatum Paxley

266
00:12:20,521 --> 00:12:24,405
somewhat under her wing
over the last several weeks,

267
00:12:24,438 --> 00:12:27,638
showing her, what she calls,
"a true friendship."

268
00:12:27,671 --> 00:12:28,871
Izzi going to the top.

269
00:12:30,638 --> 00:12:32,188
Izzi wiping out Hank and Tank.

270
00:12:32,221 --> 00:12:35,388
Wait a minute! Sol taking out Niko Vance.

271
00:12:36,188 --> 00:12:38,421
And the woman who's in the ring,

272
00:12:38,454 --> 00:12:40,355
Tatum Paxley, now with Zaria.

273
00:12:40,388 --> 00:12:44,505
Could Zaria be entering
that Zone of Destruction?

274
00:12:45,638 --> 00:12:46,871
Got caught by Paxley

275
00:12:48,188 --> 00:12:50,055
Tatum, who is so unpredictable at times

276
00:12:50,088 --> 00:12:52,538
she barks at the moon
to try to get her mind right.

277
00:12:52,571 --> 00:12:54,471
Hoisted up onto the shoulders…

278
00:12:55,204 --> 00:12:56,255
Spears…

279
00:12:56,871 --> 00:12:58,621
-No way!
-[Booker T] What the hell!

280
00:13:01,605 --> 00:13:04,021
-[Joseph] Zaria…
-[Booker T] Is that legal?

281
00:13:04,055 --> 00:13:07,888
[Joseph] Yes, it's legal, Booker.
What do you mean, "Is it legal?"

282
00:13:09,521 --> 00:13:11,488
From behind! Paxley, roll up.

283
00:13:11,521 --> 00:13:12,905
[crowd] One, two…

284
00:13:12,938 --> 00:13:17,121
[Joseph] Oh, near fall. And, Book,
what would a victory do for The Culling?

285
00:13:17,155 --> 00:13:22,005
[Booker T] A win for The Culling just
solidifies Shawn Spears' directive, man.

286
00:13:22,471 --> 00:13:24,238
Take you to the top, man.

287
00:13:24,271 --> 00:13:27,621
"Just follow my lead.
We'll take you to the top."

288
00:13:27,655 --> 00:13:29,788
[Joseph] Wait. Did you see Shawn Spears?

289
00:13:29,821 --> 00:13:33,321
[Graves] yeah. He just took the doll off
of the cowl of our announce desk.

290
00:13:33,355 --> 00:13:34,988
[Joseph] Whoa. Oh, God!

291
00:13:37,688 --> 00:13:40,388
[Graves] Oh, no, it's not…

292
00:13:40,438 --> 00:13:41,638
Oh, no!

293
00:13:41,671 --> 00:13:43,888
[Joseph] It's DarkState in Houston.

294
00:13:45,571 --> 00:13:47,805
[Booker T] Oh, hell!

295
00:13:47,838 --> 00:13:50,038
-[Joseph] But guys, we saw--
-[crosstalk]

296
00:13:50,071 --> 00:13:52,371
[Joseph] Referee turned around.
Paxley… Oh!

297
00:13:52,405 --> 00:13:53,538
[bell dings]

298
00:13:54,571 --> 00:13:55,755
[Booker T] What happened?

299
00:13:55,788 --> 00:13:57,438
[Rome] Here are your winners,

300
00:13:57,471 --> 00:13:59,771
The Culling.

301
00:13:59,805 --> 00:14:01,588
[Joseph] What happened is Paxley

302
00:14:02,355 --> 00:14:04,171
just picked up a victory

303
00:14:05,621 --> 00:14:06,755
for the Culling.

304
00:14:07,888 --> 00:14:10,704
[Graves] Amidst the chaos
when the lights went out.

305
00:14:10,738 --> 00:14:14,188
Tatum Paxley knew the moment
was right to strike.

306
00:14:14,221 --> 00:14:16,354
Don't know what's going on with DarkState,

307
00:14:16,388 --> 00:14:19,721
but with every win,
The Culling grows stronger.

308
00:14:25,704 --> 00:14:27,905
[Joseph] This past Sunday
was Slammiversary.

309
00:14:27,938 --> 00:14:33,338
It was the NXT Women's Champion going up
against the TNA Knockouts Champion.

310
00:14:33,371 --> 00:14:36,771
And with rolling encore,
there was a knockout of sorts

311
00:14:36,805 --> 00:14:40,771
as Jacy Jayne made history

312
00:14:40,805 --> 00:14:44,138
this past Sunday at Slammiversary.

313
00:14:48,021 --> 00:14:52,338
And there we see the history-maker,
along with Fatal Influence.

314
00:14:52,371 --> 00:14:58,288
We will hear from our new double champion,
live, next on NXT.

315
00:15:03,438 --> 00:15:05,338
-Jordynne.
-Ava, are you serious?

316
00:15:05,371 --> 00:15:08,588
Yes. Last week you put your hands
on not only Rob Stone,

317
00:15:08,621 --> 00:15:11,104
but Stevie Turner, the GM of Evolve.

318
00:15:11,138 --> 00:15:12,888
I can't have that on my show, Jordynne.

319
00:15:12,921 --> 00:15:15,438
And like I already told you,
you're not allowed in the arena tonight.

320
00:15:15,471 --> 00:15:16,438
[scoffs]

321
00:15:16,471 --> 00:15:17,838
One way or the other,

322
00:15:17,871 --> 00:15:19,921
I'm getting my hands on Blake tonight.

323
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:23,688
Keep an eye on her tonight, please.

324
00:15:24,021 --> 00:15:25,255
[Joseph] That was earlier today.

325
00:15:25,288 --> 00:15:28,055
And our general manager
is now posted on social media.

326
00:15:28,088 --> 00:15:30,854
Jordynne Grace
is barred from the building.

327
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:36,021
Jordynne, though,
responded by saying she will be here.

328
00:15:36,055 --> 00:15:38,271
["The Chosen" playing]

329
00:15:51,671 --> 00:15:58,288
[Rome] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the NXT Women's

330
00:15:58,321 --> 00:16:05,388
and the new TNA Knockouts World Champion,

331
00:16:06,421 --> 00:16:11,471
Fatal influence's Jacy Jayne.

332
00:16:11,505 --> 00:16:13,421
[Joseph] Go ahead, Book. Go ahead.

333
00:16:13,454 --> 00:16:15,104
[Booker T] That's right. Stand up.

334
00:16:15,138 --> 00:16:17,521
-Stand up.
-[Joseph] I will. I actually will.

335
00:16:17,555 --> 00:16:20,238
[Booker T] All the haters.
All the naysayers.

336
00:16:20,271 --> 00:16:22,055
There she is right there.

337
00:16:22,088 --> 00:16:24,155
Double champ.

338
00:16:24,188 --> 00:16:26,805
The rock star, Jacy Jayne.

your NXT Women's Champion,

or your hottest free agent.

365

is not the newest athlete

or one of your little indie darlings.

No. It's me!

368
00:18:08,271 --> 00:18:10,621
And the best part about all of this is

369
00:18:10,655 --> 00:18:16,538
I did it all by myself,
without any help or any support.

370
00:18:17,605 --> 00:18:22,571
Because the WWE universe,
you all tried to write me off.

371
00:18:22,921 --> 00:18:25,554

TNA Knockout World Championship.

You see, everybody always wants
to talk about making history.

376
00:18:48,671 --> 00:18:52,371
They want their names
written in the history books,

377
00:18:52,405 --> 00:18:55,888
so much that
it's become a wrestling cliche.

378
00:18:56,271 --> 00:19:00,738
But take a good, hard look
at your double champion

379
00:19:00,771 --> 00:19:04,355
because there is
nothing cliche about this.

380
00:19:04,721 --> 00:19:06,855
I am a history maker.

381
00:19:06,888 --> 00:19:08,821

I got to give you your flowers.

386
00:19:24,021 --> 00:19:30,938
I mean, we both know that not only
have we been here at NXT for a few years,

387
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:36,554
but look, no one ever expected you
to be the double champion.

389
00:19:39,804 --> 00:19:40,938
Just saying.

390
00:19:43,121 --> 00:19:48,471
But you decided to take your moment

391
00:19:48,504 --> 00:19:52,504
and take that top spot
to be that number one girl.

392
00:19:52,754 --> 00:19:54,638
So, congratulations.

393
00:20:00,438 --> 00:20:03,138
But now, girl, did you really think

394
00:20:03,171 --> 00:20:05,238
your delusional ass
was gonna be up there long?

00:20:05,271 --> 00:20:06,588
Absolutely not.

Yeah. I'mma go ahead
and keep it real with you.

Because it's time
for Lash Legend's moment.

It's time for me to lash out.

At Evolution, everyone was talking
about one woman, and it wasn't you.

It was the Boujee Bully.

404
00:20:35,138 --> 00:20:39,288
I eliminated Nia Jax,
hoisted her ass out the top rope.

405
00:20:39,321 --> 00:20:42,688
I eliminated Nikki Bella
and kicked her ass out, too,

406
00:20:42,721 --> 00:20:47,738
and proved not only am I
the most dominant force at NXT,

407
00:20:47,771 --> 00:20:50,171
but in all of WWE.

408
00:20:52,571 --> 00:20:56,504

[Vic] Book, I'm not gonna
outright disagree

507
00:26:47,971 --> 00:26:49,638
with your assessment about Ricky Saints,

508
00:26:49,671 --> 00:26:51,738
but you have to understand
Saints' mentality.

509
00:26:51,771 --> 00:26:54,671
He was attacked in the middle
of a Falls Count Anywhere match

510
00:26:54,705 --> 00:26:56,804
backstage by Jasper Troy.

511
00:26:56,838 --> 00:26:58,971
[Booker T] You got to be
kidding me, right?

512
00:26:59,021 --> 00:27:03,121
I mean, Ricky Saints came
in the domain of this monster.

513
00:27:03,171 --> 00:27:05,771
When you come into
the domain of a monster,

514
00:27:05,804 --> 00:27:07,105
That's what happens, man.

515
00:27:07,138 --> 00:27:10,171
-That's exactly what happens.
-[Vic] I hope Ricky has insurance tonight,

516
00:27:10,205 --> 00:27:13,638
because Saints is going to need to be
an Iron Man in this matchup

517
00:27:13,671 --> 00:27:16,088
to survive Jasper Troy.

518
00:27:16,121 --> 00:27:20,321
I think Saints fully aware there's no way
in hell he's gonna overpower Jasper Troy.

519
00:27:20,355 --> 00:27:22,405
So Saints gonna have to rely on
his experience

520
00:27:22,438 --> 00:27:23,721
and his quickness advantage.

521
00:27:23,754 --> 00:27:26,071
[Vic] I'm glad you brought up
the North American Champion,

522
00:27:26,105 --> 00:27:29,771
because on the topic, the self-proclaimed
greatest North American, Ethan Page,

523
00:27:29,804 --> 00:27:31,855
still to come.
And to Graves' point, Booker,

524
00:27:31,888 --> 00:27:34,521
-your mantra is mind your business, right?
-[Booker T] It is.

525
00:27:34,554 --> 00:27:37,605
[Vic] Then, why did Troy interject himself
into the aforementioned

526
00:27:37,638 --> 00:27:39,738
North American Championship match
at Great American Bash?

527
00:27:39,771 --> 00:27:42,321
[Booker T] If you come in my house,
what you expect?

528
00:27:42,355 --> 00:27:44,388
What you expect?
Something's gonna happen to you.

529
00:27:44,421 --> 00:27:45,621
-[Vic] What house?
-I'm not gonna say what.

530
00:27:45,655 --> 00:27:47,938
-[Vic] What house did he walk into?
-[Booker T] If you walk into my house,

531
00:27:47,971 --> 00:27:49,871
on my domain, something's
gonna happen to you.

532
00:27:49,905 --> 00:27:52,188
I'm not gonna say what,
but something's gonna happen to you.

533
00:27:52,221 --> 00:27:53,988
[Vic] Even our general manager, Ava,

534
00:27:54,021 --> 00:27:56,621
called his behavior
absolutely unacceptable.

535
00:27:56,655 --> 00:27:57,938
-Bam!
-[Graves] Oh, my God.

536
00:27:57,971 --> 00:28:00,138
[Booker T] Monster, baby, monster.

537
00:28:00,171 --> 00:28:02,705
You gotta pick your poison
with a guy like Jasper.

538
00:28:02,738 --> 00:28:04,871
You don't wanna--
This guy is dangerous, man.

539
00:28:04,905 --> 00:28:09,054
[Vic] I agree with you, 100%.
Saints out of the way just in time.

540
00:28:09,088 --> 00:28:13,238
Jasper Troy is an extremely angry,
somewhat tormented young man.

541
00:28:13,271 --> 00:28:15,705
But he is extremely effective inside
the ring,

542
00:28:15,738 --> 00:28:18,171
-as Saints is finding out right now.
-[Graves] Yeah, Ricky Saints trying to

543
00:28:18,205 --> 00:28:20,004
slow the pace for at least a moment.

544
00:28:20,038 --> 00:28:23,988
[Vic] And, Graves, how has Saints done
dealing with really the first adversity

545
00:28:24,021 --> 00:28:27,871
-he has felt since arriving here to NXT?
-[Booker T] Oh, yeah!

546
00:28:27,905 --> 00:28:31,121
Listen, we've got Ethan Page who's been
a thorn in Saints' side

547
00:28:31,155 --> 00:28:33,471
predating Saints' arrival in NXT.

548
00:28:33,504 --> 00:28:35,105
But Jasper Troy, cover here.

549
00:28:35,138 --> 00:28:36,538
-One, two…
-[Vic] Kick out by Saints.

550
00:28:36,571 --> 00:28:41,038
Jasper Troy is the first man
who may be able to physically dominate

551
00:28:41,071 --> 00:28:44,338
Ricky Saints in a way that Saints
has not encountered since arriving.

552
00:28:44,371 --> 00:28:46,171
And Booker, what's your advice been
to Jasper Troy

553
00:28:46,205 --> 00:28:49,304
-after roughly six weeks here in NXT?
-[Booker T] You know what,

554
00:28:49,338 --> 00:28:53,238
just slow it down just a little bit,
but I would not change one

555
00:28:53,271 --> 00:28:55,004
about Jasper Troy.

556
00:28:55,038 --> 00:28:57,504
This guy is onward and upward, dog.

557
00:28:57,538 --> 00:28:59,871
[Vic] Can Ricky Saints bounce back?

558
00:29:04,955 --> 00:29:08,188
Guys, this has been all Jasper Troy,
Ricky Saints right now, just trying

559
00:29:08,221 --> 00:29:11,338
to battle somewhat in this matchup.

560
00:29:11,371 --> 00:29:12,955
Create a little bit of separation,
because Booker,

561
00:29:12,988 --> 00:29:15,355
there's been really no offense
from Saints.

562
00:29:15,938 --> 00:29:16,888
[Booker T] Let me tell you something.

563
00:29:17,471 --> 00:29:20,554
This big man, Jasper Troy,
he came in with a mission tonight.

564
00:29:20,588 --> 00:29:24,188
That mission is to break this man,
Ricky Saints, down.

565
00:29:24,221 --> 00:29:27,738
And right now, he's got him
in that bear claw, that bear hook.

566
00:29:27,771 --> 00:29:28,888
I love it, man.

567
00:29:28,921 --> 00:29:32,221
[Vic] Squeezing the breath
out of Ricky Saints.

568
00:29:32,254 --> 00:29:33,205
Great minds, man.

569
00:29:33,921 --> 00:29:37,071
[Graves] Saw Saints earlier ask Evans
for advice on battling Troy.

570
00:29:37,105 --> 00:29:41,221
The advice was, you cannot prepare
for Jasper, Troy, and, Booker,

571
00:29:41,254 --> 00:29:44,138
right now, those look like
words of wisdom from the young OG.

572
00:29:44,171 --> 00:29:46,855
[Booker T] They say preparation
is the only look without their gift.

573
00:29:46,888 --> 00:29:49,804
How do you prepare for
a guy that's 300 pounds,

574
00:29:49,838 --> 00:29:54,538
six foot five inches tall, and like I say,
hungry, man, hungry for success?

575
00:29:54,571 --> 00:29:58,054
[Vic] And Saints is biting Jasper.
I mean, at this point,

576
00:29:58,088 --> 00:30:00,188
Ricky Saints is trying to survive.

577
00:30:00,221 --> 00:30:02,871
-[Graves] Desperation.
-[Vic] Desperation.

578
00:30:02,905 --> 00:30:05,838
Desperate men do desperate things
in desperate times.

579
00:30:05,871 --> 00:30:08,554
And maybe that is what Saints
is starting to feel right now.

580
00:30:08,588 --> 00:30:11,705
But Saints somehow able
to duck, able to dodge.

581
00:30:11,738 --> 00:30:15,105
Looking to dive and wipe out Jasper,
who didn't leave his feet.

582
00:30:15,138 --> 00:30:17,571
-[Booker T] Not enough, man, not enough.
-[Vic] Are you kidding me?

583
00:30:17,605 --> 00:30:19,638
[Booker T] He's a big man,
he's a big man, man.

584
00:30:19,671 --> 00:30:21,221
And right now he's strong, like I said,

585
00:30:21,254 --> 00:30:23,871
he's hungry, and to win a match
right here over Ricky Saints.

586
00:30:23,905 --> 00:30:24,888
What'd he do for his--

587
00:30:24,921 --> 00:30:27,405
[Vic] Jasper Troy just punched
that steel post,

588
00:30:27,438 --> 00:30:29,821
and now Ricky Saints trying
to make Jasper pay.

589
00:30:29,855 --> 00:30:33,388
[Graves] You're absolutely right, Booker.
Jasper Troy understands what's at stake.

590
00:30:33,421 --> 00:30:37,538
A win over somebody as decorated
as Ricky Saints can do massive things

591
00:30:37,571 --> 00:30:39,405
for the future of Jasper Troy.

592
00:30:39,971 --> 00:30:42,754
[Vic] That's a fact that is absolutely
not lost on this young man.

593
00:30:43,371 --> 00:30:45,688
One more time, Jasper taking it, too.

594
00:30:45,721 --> 00:30:48,254
Go back to what we just saw,
that right hand went right into

595
00:30:48,288 --> 00:30:49,138
the steel post.

596
00:30:49,171 --> 00:30:53,071
You see Jasper looking at that left hand,
how much damage has been done?

597
00:30:53,905 --> 00:30:57,205
Well, that remains to be seen.
I'm starting to wonder, is Ricky Saints

598
00:30:57,238 --> 00:31:00,088
trying to tire out Jasper Troy?
Is he trying to let Jasper

599
00:31:00,121 --> 00:31:02,771
punch himself out, play a little
rope-a-dope to an extent?

600
00:31:02,804 --> 00:31:04,888
Because Saints has taken
a beating thus far.

601
00:31:04,921 --> 00:31:09,405
[Vic] And Jasper jumping in, no one there.
Saints, to your point, Graves,

602
00:31:09,438 --> 00:31:13,571
could be doing just that, because Jasper
starting to breathe a little heavy.

603
00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:14,938
Ricky Saints.

604
00:31:14,971 --> 00:31:18,171
Flying one more time, high cross
body almost through the chest,

605
00:31:18,205 --> 00:31:19,455
But Troy right back up.

606
00:31:19,488 --> 00:31:23,921
Swing and a miss, Saints coming right back
in and again gets caught.

607
00:31:23,955 --> 00:31:26,155
-Oh!
-Was it pretty? It was effective,

608
00:31:26,188 --> 00:31:29,321
spinning DDT, hook on the inside leg,
and--

609
00:31:29,355 --> 00:31:30,705
-Whoa.
-[all exclaiming]

610
00:31:30,738 --> 00:31:34,438
[Vic] Not enough as that monster
kicks out.

611
00:31:34,471 --> 00:31:35,788
[Booker T] What I'm talking about
with Jasper Troy,

612
00:31:35,821 --> 00:31:38,021
you gotta slow it down
just a little bit, big man.

613
00:31:38,054 --> 00:31:40,638
You got this, you got this,
but you gotta stay in control.

614
00:31:40,671 --> 00:31:41,855
Oh!

615
00:31:41,888 --> 00:31:44,088
[Graves] Saints keeping his foot
on the gas.

616
00:31:44,121 --> 00:31:46,021
Both men crashed down hard to the outside.

617
00:31:46,054 --> 00:31:48,254
[Vic] And does this go back
to what you said, Corey,

618
00:31:48,288 --> 00:31:52,138
Ricky being a veteran in the game,
knowing that he may need to do something

619
00:31:52,171 --> 00:31:55,421
a little more, maybe going deeper
into that playbook, if you will.

620
00:31:55,455 --> 00:31:57,071
[Graves] Well, if that wasn't
Ricky's plan,

621
00:31:57,105 --> 00:31:58,371
let's hope he called that audible

622
00:31:58,405 --> 00:32:02,754
after encountering Jasper Troy firsthand
and the power possessed by

623
00:32:02,788 --> 00:32:04,838
the LFG season one winner.

624
00:32:04,871 --> 00:32:09,171
Chip Danning, our official right now
on the outside checking on both these men

625
00:32:09,205 --> 00:32:12,021
-after that spill.
-[Booker T] Look at the eyes.

626
00:32:12,054 --> 00:32:13,905
[Vic] If I was a referee,
I would run right now.

627
00:32:13,938 --> 00:32:16,688
[Booker T] Look at the eyes on this man
right here.

628
00:32:17,504 --> 00:32:19,155
[indistinct conversation]

629
00:32:20,371 --> 00:32:22,205
[Vic] Saints from behind,

630
00:32:22,238 --> 00:32:25,871
jumping right on the back of The Monk,
and now trying to swing away.

631
00:32:27,638 --> 00:32:30,721
Referee using a little bit of discretion
in this moment.

632
00:32:31,221 --> 00:32:34,155
As this matchup is continuing,
these two fighting

633
00:32:34,188 --> 00:32:38,138
all the way up top here,
sold out in Houston.

634
00:32:38,971 --> 00:32:42,188
I don't necessarily know if the official's
concerned with enforcing the rules

635
00:32:42,221 --> 00:32:44,038
when he might just be scared to death.

636
00:32:44,071 --> 00:32:46,554
-Yeah, I see what you're saying.
-[Vic] His life flashed before his eyes.

637
00:32:46,588 --> 00:32:47,988
[Booker T] What do you think about
this plan?

638
00:32:50,121 --> 00:32:52,554
Ricky Saints trying to go toe to toe
with the big man.

639
00:32:54,371 --> 00:32:57,671
[Vic] Taking a look around at Jasper Troy
right now, talking to the official.

640
00:32:57,705 --> 00:32:58,888
Now.

641
00:32:58,921 --> 00:33:01,238
Just scaring the living daylights
out of the official.

642
00:33:01,271 --> 00:33:03,738
No, no!

643
00:33:03,771 --> 00:33:05,905
And the official, Jasper Troy
right now is--

644
00:33:05,938 --> 00:33:08,021
[Graves] Guys, I'm screaming
because you look up.

645
00:33:08,054 --> 00:33:11,054
[Vic] Did the entry ramp collapse
under the Saints?

646
00:33:11,088 --> 00:33:13,638
[Graves] Ricky Saints, I think,
just went through that.

647
00:33:13,671 --> 00:33:17,538
[Vic] Oh, no! No way, out of that
broken piece of the stage.

648
00:33:17,571 --> 00:33:20,405
[Graves] Oh, God, Saints ain't getting up.

649
00:33:20,988 --> 00:33:21,821
[grunts]

650
00:33:22,438 --> 00:33:25,855
Trying to regroup, things happen on
live television all the time.

651
00:33:25,888 --> 00:33:29,355
Listen, that's a lot of body weight
to support when you got Troy and Saints

652
00:33:29,388 --> 00:33:30,921
on the same piece of metal.

653
00:33:30,955 --> 00:33:33,571
[Graves] That is, but I also wanna talk
about Ricky fell through the stage.

654
00:33:33,605 --> 00:33:34,671
We didn't even see it.

655
00:33:34,705 --> 00:33:36,254
All of a sudden, we looked up
and there's a gap.

656
00:33:36,288 --> 00:33:37,821
This match continuing.

657
00:33:37,855 --> 00:33:41,321
Referee right now is at six,
counting both these men.

658
00:33:41,355 --> 00:33:44,771
-Jasper rising up like that monster he is.
-[Booker T] Get in there, Jasper.

659
00:33:44,804 --> 00:33:46,971
-[Graves] Referee continuing to count.
-[Booker T] Jasper, get in there, son.

660
00:33:47,554 --> 00:33:51,121
[Graves] Referee right now at nine,
Jasper just gets in.

661
00:33:51,155 --> 00:33:53,421
-He beat the count and Troy…
-[bell dinging]

662
00:33:53,455 --> 00:33:56,988
-What a win. What a win!
-…just beat Saints.

663
00:33:57,021 --> 00:34:02,738
Here is your winner, as a result
of a count, Jasper Troy.

664
00:34:02,771 --> 00:34:03,988
[Graves] My goodness!

665
00:34:04,021 --> 00:34:06,288
[Vic] I've never been a part
of anything like this,

666
00:34:06,321 --> 00:34:07,938
of what we just saw,

667
00:34:07,971 --> 00:34:13,138
where that stage just collapsed under
the weight of Ricky Saints.

668
00:34:13,654 --> 00:34:17,471
But this is the worst thing.
Jasper Troy, this monster

669
00:34:17,505 --> 00:34:22,105
delivering a senton from what,
four or five feet high onto the steel,

670
00:34:22,138 --> 00:34:23,388
onto the concrete.

671
00:34:23,421 --> 00:34:25,904
It's a bad night to be Ricky Saints.

672
00:34:25,938 --> 00:34:30,538
[Graves] No doubt a statement win
in the young career of Jasper Troy.

673
00:34:32,471 --> 00:34:34,605
Dead man think he calling out
Trick Williams?

674
00:34:35,688 --> 00:34:36,838
Oh, hell no!

675
00:34:37,755 --> 00:34:38,605
I'm calling him out.

676
00:34:39,171 --> 00:34:41,121
-Let's talk about it.
-Hey, look, I know you're about

677
00:34:41,154 --> 00:34:43,738
to go out here and handle your business
and everything, but if you need anything,

678
00:34:43,771 --> 00:34:45,888
-say the word.
-No, no, no, no, no.

679
00:34:45,921 --> 00:34:48,971
As much as I appreciate that,
I gotta take care of this man to man.

680
00:34:50,154 --> 00:34:52,704
Trick and Hayes versus the Deadman.

681
00:34:54,338 --> 00:34:57,904
-There you go, Trick. Yes, sir, Trick!
-I suggest you mind your business

682
00:34:57,938 --> 00:34:59,904
-while grown folk talking.
-Dang!

683
00:35:00,588 --> 00:35:02,805
My bad, you right, you right.
I just want to see what happens today.

684
00:35:02,838 --> 00:35:04,355
Look, I ain't got time for this today.
Come on, Trick.

685
00:35:04,388 --> 00:35:06,171
-I ain't got time for this today.
-Trick Willie, come on, Trick.

686
00:35:06,205 --> 00:35:09,071
-You know what I'm saying?
-Focus on him. We got this.

687
00:35:09,105 --> 00:35:10,888
-I'll see y'all boys after the show.
-Gotcha.

688
00:35:12,471 --> 00:35:15,021
-Trick Willie! What's up with you, dog?
-Yo, what's good?

689
00:35:15,055 --> 00:35:18,971
Hey, man, look, I have to go see this,
all right? Trick Willie!

690
00:35:19,005 --> 00:35:20,654
Hey, yo, he said mind your business.

691
00:35:20,688 --> 00:35:22,021
He's crazy, son.

692
00:35:22,055 --> 00:35:25,205
We welcome you back in ringside here,
sold out in Houston,

693
00:35:25,238 --> 00:35:27,838
but today there was some tragic news
in the world that touched

694
00:35:27,871 --> 00:35:31,688
every single person sitting at
this desk and is here in Houston,

695
00:35:31,721 --> 00:35:36,404
because today, the world truly lost
a heavy metal icon,

696
00:35:36,438 --> 00:35:40,688
one of the greatest entertainers
of all time, Ozzy Osbourne.

697
00:35:40,721 --> 00:35:44,021
The legendary Prince of Darkness
transcended the music industry

698
00:35:44,055 --> 00:35:46,488
with over 100 million albums sold.

699
00:35:46,521 --> 00:35:51,955
And for years, his music served
as the canvas for WWE's presentations.

700
00:35:51,988 --> 00:35:56,355
From Ozzy's inaugural appearance
at WrestleMania II in 1986.

701
00:35:56,388 --> 00:35:58,588
During the Rock and Wrestling Era
through his induction into

702
00:35:58,621 --> 00:36:00,654
the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021,

703
00:36:00,688 --> 00:36:05,721
Ozzy's impact has been celebrated with
the WWE Universe for nearly four decades.

704
00:36:05,755 --> 00:36:09,188
Tonight, we offer condolences
to his family and friends,

705
00:36:09,221 --> 00:36:12,238
the world at large,
on the passing of a musical pioneer,

706
00:36:12,271 --> 00:36:15,021
our beloved friend, Ozzy Osbourne.

707
00:36:25,671 --> 00:36:27,671
["Locked In" by Def Rebel plays]

708
00:36:34,071 --> 00:36:36,071
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

709
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:50,171
[Mike] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

710
00:36:50,205 --> 00:36:55,871
the TNA World Champion,

711
00:36:55,904 --> 00:36:59,738
Trick Williams!

712
00:36:59,771 --> 00:37:04,921
[Booker T] That's right, y'all.
We got a new sheriff in town.

713
00:37:04,955 --> 00:37:07,621
His name is Trick Williams.

714
00:37:07,654 --> 00:37:12,571
He is the TNA El campeón.

715
00:37:12,605 --> 00:37:16,138
Watch yourself, son.
You got them gators on.

716
00:37:16,171 --> 00:37:18,521
He is looking real good.

717
00:37:19,338 --> 00:37:21,721
Six foot five inches tall.

718
00:37:21,755 --> 00:37:24,138
Chiseled. Carved out and graded.

719
00:37:24,171 --> 00:37:26,404
Come on, man. Come on.

720
00:37:30,404 --> 00:37:31,404
That's right.

721
00:37:32,205 --> 00:37:33,971
H-town!

722
00:37:36,771 --> 00:37:38,538
[Booker T] He got some spurs on, don't he?

723
00:37:38,571 --> 00:37:43,521
The man carrying two brands
has finally arrived.

724
00:37:43,555 --> 00:37:45,771
[crowd cheering]

725
00:37:45,805 --> 00:37:47,238
And I ain't bragging.

726
00:37:47,271 --> 00:37:49,105
I'm just here to spit some facts.

727
00:37:50,088 --> 00:37:52,355
And while we're talking about facts,

728
00:37:52,388 --> 00:37:54,238
last Sunday,

729
00:37:54,271 --> 00:37:57,138
I went to Long Island,
New York, for Slammiversary.

730
00:37:58,238 --> 00:38:04,255
And I may have invented the biggest show
TNA has ever had to this day.

731
00:38:04,288 --> 00:38:05,605
Let's talk about it.

732
00:38:05,638 --> 00:38:08,571
[crowd cheering]

733
00:38:08,605 --> 00:38:10,988
And while we talk about facts,

734
00:38:11,021 --> 00:38:16,238
at Slammiversary,
I faced two of the best TNA has to offer.

735
00:38:17,605 --> 00:38:19,488
I defeated the Average Joe.

736
00:38:20,838 --> 00:38:24,771
I defeated the loud and proud,
Mike Santana.

737
00:38:27,255 --> 00:38:30,255
So with me breaking the record, at TNA,

738
00:38:31,621 --> 00:38:34,105
with me defeating
two of the best they had to offer,

739
00:38:34,988 --> 00:38:36,638
I guess that makes me undeniably,

740
00:38:36,671 --> 00:38:40,605
unequivocally, automatically,

741
00:38:40,638 --> 00:38:45,388
the greatest TNA Champion of all time.

742
00:38:45,421 --> 00:38:49,404
[Booker T] Yeah, that is… Uh…

743
00:38:49,438 --> 00:38:50,438
[Vic] Hard to argue, Book.

744
00:38:53,555 --> 00:38:56,105
I know they don't like me
over there at TNA,

745
00:38:56,138 --> 00:38:57,605
and I don't blame them.

746
00:38:57,638 --> 00:38:59,038
I am dropping records,

747
00:38:59,071 --> 00:39:01,404
I'm dropping diss tracks,

748
00:39:01,438 --> 00:39:04,221
I'm dropping everybody
who stands in Trick Williams' way.

749
00:39:05,871 --> 00:39:07,588
And speaking of people in my way,

750
00:39:08,605 --> 00:39:13,171
last week, the boys out of LFG
was in my way.

751
00:39:14,271 --> 00:39:17,771
They decided to stay
in front of Trick Williams.

752
00:39:17,805 --> 00:39:20,638
They got a little too big
for their britches.

753
00:39:20,671 --> 00:39:23,438
So I stood all business, ten toes down,

754
00:39:23,471 --> 00:39:26,738
I told you to get the hell out of the way
when your champ is in the room.

755
00:39:32,488 --> 00:39:35,371
And can you believe this sensitive group?

756
00:39:35,404 --> 00:39:37,005
This lousy group?

757
00:39:37,038 --> 00:39:39,371
They snitched on Trick Williams.

758
00:39:42,955 --> 00:39:45,705
They went and told their coach
on Trick Williams.

759
00:39:45,738 --> 00:39:47,505
[crowd booing]

760
00:39:49,171 --> 00:39:51,654
That's right, player. They called…

761
00:39:52,988 --> 00:39:53,988
the Undertaker.

762
00:40:01,755 --> 00:40:04,455
Like I said, I'm here to spit facts.
Nothing but facts.

763
00:40:04,488 --> 00:40:06,188
And it is a fact that the Undertaker

764
00:40:06,221 --> 00:40:08,571
is one of the greatest
of all time in this business.

765
00:40:08,605 --> 00:40:09,605
Let's talk about it.

766
00:40:09,638 --> 00:40:11,338
[crowd cheering]

767
00:40:11,371 --> 00:40:13,038
He's in the Hall of Fame for a reason.

768
00:40:14,171 --> 00:40:16,838
But it's also a fact, you, Undertaker,

769
00:40:16,871 --> 00:40:21,538
have never held down
two brands at the same time.

770
00:40:21,571 --> 00:40:23,571
[all exclaim]

771
00:40:25,371 --> 00:40:27,121
What I'm trying to say is,

772
00:40:27,154 --> 00:40:30,338
I think LFG got Undertaker
feeling disrespected.

773
00:40:31,438 --> 00:40:35,121
LFG got the Undertaker tweeting.
He tweeting tweets y'all.

774
00:40:38,105 --> 00:40:40,371
I think LFG got the Undertaker…

775
00:40:42,255 --> 00:40:45,705
-Soft.
-[all exclaim]

776
00:40:48,421 --> 00:40:51,005
And I have no problem being the man,

777
00:40:51,038 --> 00:40:55,238
the only man who got the cajones
to call out the Undertaker,

778
00:40:55,271 --> 00:40:58,288
because I am Trick Williams,
this is Trick-N-A.

779
00:40:58,321 --> 00:41:00,638
Dead Man, bring your ass out here!

780
00:41:02,021 --> 00:41:03,021
[Booker T] What?

781
00:41:05,338 --> 00:41:06,438
[Vic] Might wanna…

782
00:41:06,471 --> 00:41:08,471
[Undertaker's entrance music plays]

783
00:41:08,505 --> 00:41:10,505
[all cheering]

784

[inaudible]

787
00:42:26,855 --> 00:42:31,005
[Vic] I don't know about you, but there
is an old-school feeling right now.

788
00:42:31,038 --> 00:42:34,005
[Booker T] Old-school tactics.

789
00:42:34,038 --> 00:42:37,271
Undertaker is working the crowd
a little bit.

790
00:42:38,921 --> 00:42:40,971
Don't know if it's gonna work
with Trick Williams.

791
00:42:42,238 --> 00:42:44,238
[applause and cheers]

792
00:42:57,205 --> 00:42:59,205
[crowd chanting "Undertaker"]

793
00:43:53,904 --> 00:43:58,404
Well, what do we have here?

794
00:43:58,438 --> 00:44:00,471
[applause]

795
00:44:02,788 --> 00:44:05,221
Let me tell you what we have here.

796
00:44:08,404 --> 00:44:10,871
We got a dead man walking.

797
00:44:10,904 --> 00:44:13,171
[crowd cheers]

798
00:44:17,038 --> 00:44:18,038
Look at you.

799
00:44:20,955 --> 00:44:21,955
You got the…

800
00:44:23,205 --> 00:44:24,805
You got that nice title.

801
00:44:28,188 --> 00:44:29,904
You got the bling.

802
00:44:30,921 --> 00:44:31,921
And I'm sorry but…

803
00:44:33,205 --> 00:44:35,404
is this genuine cow hide?

804
00:44:38,721 --> 00:44:40,188
I'm asking for a friend.

805
00:44:40,971 --> 00:44:42,338
It is real cow hide.

806
00:44:44,471 --> 00:44:46,438
Uh… You got it all, man.

807
00:44:49,705 --> 00:44:50,705
Except for one thing.

808
00:44:54,121 --> 00:44:55,421
Respect.

809
00:44:55,455 --> 00:44:57,455
[all exclaiming]

810
00:45:02,921 --> 00:45:04,921
Yeah, you got that swagger too, don't you?

811
00:45:10,438 --> 00:45:12,188
You know, I keep up with everybody.

812
00:45:14,221 --> 00:45:15,738
[sighs]

813
00:45:15,771 --> 00:45:17,221
You just ain't the same…

814
00:45:18,071 --> 00:45:24,305
guy with that TNA Title
as you were with the NXT Championship.

815
00:45:24,355 --> 00:45:25,888
[crowd exclaims] Oh!

816
00:45:25,921 --> 00:45:28,471
That's a fact. I'm brand-new on 'em.

817
00:45:29,821 --> 00:45:31,538
See, that guy,

818
00:45:31,571 --> 00:45:37,855
I watched scratch and claw himself
all the way to the top.

819
00:45:39,288 --> 00:45:41,521
That guy was hungry.

820
00:45:42,821 --> 00:45:45,004
That guy had that dog in him.

821
00:45:45,038 --> 00:45:48,521
[crowd exclaiming]

822
00:45:55,738 --> 00:45:59,105
-That ain't you.
-[crowd exclaims] Oh.

823
00:46:02,305 --> 00:46:04,321
Let me tell you something, young fella.

824
00:46:08,171 --> 00:46:10,171
You can have the whole package.

825
00:46:11,254 --> 00:46:14,538
You can have all the talent,
everything in the toolbox.

826
00:46:17,738 --> 00:46:19,105
But with your attitude,

827
00:46:21,555 --> 00:46:25,754
it ain't a matter of you
losing that title,

828
00:46:26,171 --> 00:46:29,205
it's only a matter of when.

829
00:46:29,738 --> 00:46:32,388
[crowd exclaiming]

830
00:46:35,171 --> 00:46:38,671
That attitude
is going to be your downfall.

831
00:46:39,355 --> 00:46:41,871
-[man 1] One more time.
-[man 2] One more time!

832
00:46:43,588 --> 00:46:49,021
And that is when the walls
start crumbling down.

833
00:46:51,071 --> 00:46:54,121
[indistinct shouting from crowd]

834
00:46:55,038 --> 00:46:56,455
Oh, man, I've seen it.

835
00:46:56,504 --> 00:46:58,504
I've seen it too many times, Trick.

836
00:47:01,771 --> 00:47:02,688
Look…

837
00:47:05,754 --> 00:47:06,805
your attitude…

838
00:47:08,121 --> 00:47:09,038
is rotten.

839
00:47:10,588 --> 00:47:12,004
And that…

840
00:47:12,038 --> 00:47:14,855
No, leave that on, man. Please.
Leave that on.

841
00:47:16,205 --> 00:47:17,238
That attitude…

842
00:47:19,421 --> 00:47:24,671
is exactly what I try to teach
to my LFG Team--

843
00:47:24,705 --> 00:47:27,238
I don't give a damn about your LFG Team!

844
00:47:27,271 --> 00:47:29,071
[crowd booing]

845
00:47:33,404 --> 00:47:34,721
You a legend, right?

846
00:47:35,338 --> 00:47:39,771
Nobody on your LFG Team
is a superstar like Trick Williams.

847
00:47:41,421 --> 00:47:45,621
Nobody in NXT is a superstar
like Trick Williams.

848
00:47:46,738 --> 00:47:52,571
Nobody in all of WWE
is a superstar like Trick Williams.

Whoop that trick! Whoop that trick!

852
00:48:07,904 --> 00:48:11,971
-Is that right?
-That's right. That's right. That's right.

853
00:48:14,038 --> 00:48:14,971
So let me, uh…

854
00:48:18,021 --> 00:48:22,438
Let me give you
just one more piece of advice.

855
00:48:25,321 --> 00:48:28,621
You're a little too light in the ass
to step to an OG.

when I do, I promise you,

862
00:48:51,754 --> 00:48:54,188

Blake Monroe makes
her NXT Singles debut live,

872
00:49:37,205 --> 00:49:38,955
next, on NXT.

873
00:49:42,438 --> 00:49:45,471
Well, that didn't go well.
What are we gonna do about them?

874
00:49:45,504 --> 00:49:47,938
Who's gonna take Lash
and who's gonna take Jaida?

875
00:49:49,205 --> 00:49:52,355
So, um, I saw what happened earlier today,

876
00:49:52,388 --> 00:49:56,738
and not that anybody asked my opinion,
but I'm feeling like Jazmyn takes on Jaida

877
00:49:57,705 --> 00:49:59,371
and Fallon takes on Lash.

878
00:49:59,404 --> 00:50:01,171
Makes sense, Michelle. I'll take Jaida.

879
00:50:01,205 --> 00:50:03,538
Makes sense? Why do you want Jaida?

880
00:50:03,571 --> 00:50:05,888
Well, only a baddie
can handle another baddie.

881
00:50:06,555 --> 00:50:09,488
Listen, for one,
Michelle is a Hall of Famer.

882
00:50:09,521 --> 00:50:11,955
And two, you're way better than Jazmyn.

883
00:50:11,988 --> 00:50:15,205
True. My odds of beating Lash
are way better than hers. [chuckles]

884
00:50:15,238 --> 00:50:19,088
Perfect. So you take care of Lash
and Jazmyn will take care of Miss Parker.

885
00:50:19,121 --> 00:50:19,955
-Yeah.
-All right.

886
00:50:19,988 --> 00:50:22,288
Sounds like Fatal Influence
has it all figured out.

887
00:50:22,321 --> 00:50:24,055
-But somebody should talk to Ava. Quick.
-Yeah.

888
00:50:24,088 --> 00:50:26,788
Which way to Ava's office,
so I can go make this official?

889
00:50:26,821 --> 00:50:27,654
That--

890
00:50:28,754 --> 00:50:30,955
[sighs] Guess I'll figure it out
on my own.

891
00:50:32,221 --> 00:50:35,305
[Vic] Well, issues continue to arise
in Fatal Influence.

892
00:50:35,888 --> 00:50:40,504
But there is Wren Sinclair
ready to fight, representing the NQCC.

894

00:51:14,438 --> 00:51:17,355
Blake Monroe!

898
00:51:17,388 --> 00:51:20,455
[Vic] Monroe was talking earlier today
that she is responsible

899
00:51:20,488 --> 00:51:24,171
for every single person here tonight
among the sold-out crowd.

900
00:51:24,205 --> 00:51:26,205
They came to see her. And, Graves,

901
00:51:26,238 --> 00:51:30,438
this woman showed her true colors
at WWE Evolution.

902
00:51:30,471 --> 00:51:34,038
[Corey] If you were absolutely shocked,
you just haven't been paying attention.

903
00:51:34,071 --> 00:51:37,588
This is the Blake Monroe
we expected to arrive in NXT.

904
00:51:37,621 --> 00:51:43,404
A woman who's not afraid to do whatever
it takes to get exactly what she wants.

905
00:51:43,438 --> 00:51:46,738
[Vic] Blake did invite Jordynne Grace
to sit in front row here tonight,

906
00:51:46,771 --> 00:51:50,805
but Grace was banned from the building
by our General Manager, Ava,

907
00:51:50,838 --> 00:51:52,738
for her actions last week,

908
00:51:52,771 --> 00:51:54,421
-and at Evolution…

[scattered chanting]
WreNXT! WreNXT! WreNXT!

910
00:51:58,871 --> 00:52:00,771
[Vic] It was at Evolution where Blake went

911
00:52:00,805 --> 00:52:04,488
from glamorous to villainous
in a blink of an eye,

912
00:52:04,521 --> 00:52:08,438
-and now she's taking it to Wren Sinclair.
-[Corey] It's all a matter of perspective.

913
00:52:08,471 --> 00:52:11,555
Blake Monroe simply chose
to be her true authentic self.

914
00:52:11,588 --> 00:52:14,605
And, unfortunately, that came
at the expense of Jordynne Grace.

915
00:52:14,638 --> 00:52:19,171
[Vic] And, Book, how does Blake believe
"Grace is not worthy to carry her shoes"?

916
00:52:19,205 --> 00:52:20,805
That's her quote, by the way, not mine.

917
00:52:20,838 --> 00:52:24,254
[Booker T] Let me tell you something.
Jordynne Grace took the bait, all right?

918
00:52:24,288 --> 00:52:27,254
She got played. All right?
Let's just tell it like it is, man.

919
00:52:27,288 --> 00:52:30,438
Right? Right?
TTA. TTA. What does that mean?

920
00:52:30,471 --> 00:52:33,071
-[Corey] Don't trust anybody.
-[Booker T] That is! That is, Victor.

921
00:52:33,105 --> 00:52:36,238
[Vic] You have anything else
you want to add about Blake Monroe?

922
00:52:36,271 --> 00:52:38,654
-[Booker T] She's a hell of a talent.
-[Corey] Cover by Sinclair.

923
00:52:38,688 --> 00:52:41,471
[Booker T] We're gonna see what she's
all about right here against Sinclair.

924
00:52:41,504 --> 00:52:44,305
-[Corey] Again by Sinclair.
-[Vic] Off the crucifix, back around,

925
00:52:44,338 --> 00:52:47,588
rolling right back through shoulders,
down third time, still not the charm.

926
00:52:47,621 --> 00:52:49,838
[Corey] But masterful
No Quarter Catch Crew technique

927
00:52:49,871 --> 00:52:51,638
being employed by Wren Sinclair.

928
00:52:51,671 --> 00:52:54,721
[Vic] Wren, a Texas native from Dallas
was in the crowd

929
00:52:54,754 --> 00:52:56,588
at WrestleMania a few years ago.

930
00:52:56,621 --> 00:52:59,021
-[Corey] Wow! That was cool!
-[Vic] All throughout the state.

931
00:52:59,055 --> 00:53:02,154
Booker, just how deep
is the talent pool here in Texas?

932
00:53:02,188 --> 00:53:04,921
[Booker T] There's a plethora
of talent here in the long--

933
00:53:04,955 --> 00:53:07,821
-[Vic] Oh, man!
-[Booker T] Beautiful dropkick there

934
00:53:07,855 --> 00:53:09,538
by Blake Monroe.

935
00:53:09,571 --> 00:53:11,838
[Vic] And right back in, Sling Blade,

936
00:53:11,871 --> 00:53:15,271
as Blake making her in-ring debut here
on a Tuesday night.

937
00:53:15,305 --> 00:53:17,938
Into the cover, and Wren able to kick out.

938
00:53:17,971 --> 00:53:20,221
[Booker T] Lazy cover right there,
don't you think, Corey?

939
00:53:20,254 --> 00:53:22,888
[Corey] I gotta agree with you, Book,
and I think Wen Sinclair…

940
00:53:22,921 --> 00:53:25,338
In fact, I would bet money
that Charlie Dempsey

941
00:53:25,371 --> 00:53:27,205
coached up Wren before this match,

942
00:53:27,238 --> 00:53:30,571
so Wren fully understands
the magnitude of this opportunity.

943
00:53:30,605 --> 00:53:35,521
If Sinclair happens to be the one to spoil
Blake Monroe's big Singles debut on NXT,

944
00:53:35,555 --> 00:53:38,838
that would be huge, not only for Wren,
but NQCC as a whole.

945
00:53:38,871 --> 00:53:41,221
[Vic] That would be very good
for the No Quarter Catch Crew.

946
00:53:41,254 --> 00:53:42,888
It's been a tough year for Wren Sinclair.

947
00:53:42,921 --> 00:53:46,488
I thought maybe she'd have a boost
by seeing Myles Borne earlier tonight.

948
00:53:46,521 --> 00:53:48,538
-But it has been all Blake Monroe…
-[crowd chanting]

949
00:53:48,571 --> 00:53:52,738
[Vic] …and these are two women that are
polar opposites in and out of the ring,

950
00:53:52,771 --> 00:53:55,805
as the NXT Universe
trying to rally Wren Sinclair here

951
00:53:55,838 --> 00:53:57,555
in this match-up. Nice arm drag.

952
00:53:58,171 --> 00:54:00,388
[Corey] I've been very impressed by
the technical abilities

953
00:54:00,421 --> 00:54:02,188
-of Wren Sinclair.
-[crowd exclaims]

954
00:54:02,221 --> 00:54:05,538
[Corey] Very proficient grappler.
We see her strikes on display…

955
00:54:05,571 --> 00:54:08,654
[Vic] But Graves, this is a big moment
for Sinclair, as you brought up.

956
00:54:08,738 --> 00:54:11,404
Can she make the most of it, though,
here tonight?

957
00:54:11,488 --> 00:54:13,855
[Corey] Looks like Wren
is certainly on her way,

958
00:54:13,888 --> 00:54:16,038
a series of clotheslines
and a tackle.

959
00:54:16,071 --> 00:54:17,571
Face first goes Monroe.

960
00:54:17,605 --> 00:54:18,838
[Booker] Here we go, baby!

961
00:54:18,921 --> 00:54:21,004
[Vic] Hook of the leg and a near fall.

962
00:54:21,038 --> 00:54:24,488
[Booker] Loved the way Wren Sinclair
had that deep cover right there.

963
00:54:24,521 --> 00:54:25,838
[Vic] In a victory,

964
00:54:25,888 --> 00:54:28,621
what would it do, Book,
for someone like Wren Sinclair?

965
00:54:28,705 --> 00:54:31,788
[Booker] Wren Sinclair, top of the food
chain, beat Blake Monroe,

966
00:54:31,871 --> 00:54:32,871
the flavor of the month.

967
00:54:32,955 --> 00:54:34,988
That's what they would be calling her,

968
00:54:35,021 --> 00:54:36,754
if Wren Sinclair get a victory here.

969
00:54:36,838 --> 00:54:38,754
[Corey] Well, Sinclair may be eating
through a straw

970
00:54:38,788 --> 00:54:40,438
after that headbutt by Blake Monroe

971
00:54:40,521 --> 00:54:43,254
and set it right up
and just dropping Sinclair.

972
00:54:43,288 --> 00:54:45,455
[Booker] That was technically
sound there by Blake, too.

973
00:54:45,538 --> 00:54:49,138
[Corey] You can call it whatever you want
as Blake Monroe into the cover…

974
00:54:49,171 --> 00:54:50,004
[bell dinging]

975
00:54:50,088 --> 00:54:52,588
[Corey] …and it is a glamorous
Tuesday debut.

976
00:54:52,671 --> 00:54:53,671
[Booker] Wow.

977
00:54:53,705 --> 00:54:55,355
[announcer] Here is your winner,

978
00:54:55,388 --> 00:54:58,088
Blake Monroe!

979
00:54:58,821 --> 00:55:01,205
[Corey] Bad night for the NQCC.

980
00:55:01,288 --> 00:55:03,871
Maybe Wren Sinclair
should look into the DCC.

981
00:55:03,904 --> 00:55:06,421
[Vic] Maybe so, but let's go
back to some of the action,

982
00:55:06,455 --> 00:55:08,004
Graves, here in this match up.

983
00:55:08,038 --> 00:55:09,588
[Corey] Big headbutt by Blake Monroe,

984
00:55:09,671 --> 00:55:14,338
rocks the jaw of Wren Sinclair
and this butterfly DDT,

985
00:55:14,371 --> 00:55:18,754
face first goes Wren Sinclair,
on top for the win,

986
00:55:18,838 --> 00:55:21,238
"The Glamor" Blake Monroe.

987
00:55:28,788 --> 00:55:31,238
What's the matter?

988
00:55:31,288 --> 00:55:32,171
[Corey] Security!

989
00:55:32,205 --> 00:55:33,921
-[Vic] Booker, watch out!
-[Corey] Security!

990
00:55:33,955 --> 00:55:34,871
[Vic] Grace is back!

991
00:55:34,955 --> 00:55:36,754
[Corey] She's nuts.
Get her out of here!

992
00:55:36,788 --> 00:55:40,338
[Vic] She is absolutely possessed,
and she's going right after

993
00:55:40,404 --> 00:55:42,555
The Glamor, going right at Blake Monroe.

994
00:55:42,638 --> 00:55:45,838
Monroe cost her
a championship, cost her glory.

995
00:55:45,921 --> 00:55:47,904
And now it's gonna cost her a lot more

996
00:55:47,988 --> 00:55:50,371
because I can't imagine
our general manager is happy.

997
00:55:50,421 --> 00:55:51,254
Whoa!

998
00:55:51,421 --> 00:55:53,788
[Corey] The hell we find
these security guards? Costco?

999
00:55:54,654 --> 00:55:55,754
Stop this woman!

1000
00:55:56,455 --> 00:55:57,588
She's come unglued.

1001
00:55:57,621 --> 00:55:58,971
[Booker] God, man.

1002
00:55:59,555 --> 00:56:01,955
[Corey] What are you doing?
Get the PD in here.

1003
00:56:02,355 --> 00:56:03,488
[Vic] Blake Monroe--

1004
00:56:03,671 --> 00:56:06,321
No, no. Right onto that steel chair!

1005
00:56:06,404 --> 00:56:08,338
[Corey] Never mind. Cancel. 10-8.

1006
00:56:08,421 --> 00:56:09,571
Everything's fine here.

1007
00:56:12,921 --> 00:56:14,238
[music playing]

1008
00:56:15,938 --> 00:56:19,938
[Vic] Did you hear the thud
that Jordan Grace just made

1009
00:56:20,988 --> 00:56:22,988
off that steel chair?

1010
00:56:23,071 --> 00:56:23,988
We need help.

1011
00:56:25,138 --> 00:56:26,171
We need some help!

1012
00:56:27,821 --> 00:56:28,971
[Booker] Wow.

1013
00:56:29,838 --> 00:56:32,971
[Corey] As we try to get things
situated here ringside,

1014
00:56:33,055 --> 00:56:34,788
and I'm sure you two are ready for this,

1015
00:56:34,871 --> 00:56:38,355
there's our NXT North
American champion, Ethan Page.

1016
00:56:38,438 --> 00:56:40,088
He's live. He's next.

1017
00:56:44,171 --> 00:56:47,488
[Corey] Ethan Page, ready to gloat.

1018
00:56:54,888 --> 00:56:59,055
Today marks the 56th day

1019
00:56:59,555 --> 00:57:01,721
as the greatest North American

1020
00:57:01,805 --> 00:57:04,771
to ever hold
the North American Championship.

1021
00:57:09,521 --> 00:57:11,021
[Booker] Props, props.

1022
00:57:11,055 --> 00:57:15,021
Seventeen Americans before me
had the honor and privilege

1023
00:57:15,105 --> 00:57:17,754
of being North American Champion.

1024
00:57:18,921 --> 00:57:21,754
But going forward, my plan is to bring

1025
00:57:21,838 --> 00:57:26,871
more honor, dignity, pride and class

1026
00:57:26,955 --> 00:57:29,904
than all 17 Americans combined.

1027
00:57:35,254 --> 00:57:41,921
Now how I plan to do that is because
of who I am and where I come from.

1028
00:57:43,788 --> 00:57:44,705
Folks,

1029
00:57:44,788 --> 00:57:49,471
my humble parents migrated
to North America from former Yugoslavia

1030
00:57:49,555 --> 00:57:52,688
to provide my family
with greater opportunity.

1031
00:57:53,638 --> 00:57:58,238
And because of that, I was allowed
to travel the roads of this continent

1032
00:57:58,321 --> 00:58:03,305
and truly see every small town
with a bingo hall

1033
00:58:03,388 --> 00:58:06,638
and every big city with a big arena,

1034
00:58:06,721 --> 00:58:08,471
coast to coast.

1035
00:58:09,404 --> 00:58:13,521
Now, if my family had made
different decisions,

1036
00:58:13,605 --> 00:58:17,738
then I quite possibly might have
ended up like all of you.

1037
00:58:19,171 --> 00:58:20,355
[crowd booing]

1038
00:58:21,205 --> 00:58:22,271
But I didn't

1039
00:58:23,571 --> 00:58:26,838
because I was born

1040
00:58:29,371 --> 00:58:30,288
here.

1041
00:58:31,788 --> 00:58:33,138
[crowd booing]

1042
00:58:40,688 --> 00:58:41,955
[crowd chanting] USA! USA!

1043
00:58:46,388 --> 00:58:50,105
Now going forward,
this championship will no longer

1044
00:58:50,188 --> 00:58:54,021
represent the continent of North America,

1045
00:58:55,321 --> 00:59:00,721
because what this championship represents
is an absolute lie.

1046
00:59:01,955 --> 00:59:04,738
What this championship should do

1047
00:59:04,821 --> 00:59:09,338
is represent the pure dominance
of Canada over America,

1048
00:59:09,838 --> 00:59:13,938
Mexico and every country in it.

1049
00:59:19,404 --> 00:59:26,171
Ladies and gentlemen, I was born in Canada
but made in America.

1050
00:59:26,654 --> 00:59:31,571
And that makes me
the greatest North American alive.

1051
00:59:33,538 --> 00:59:39,404
And affords me
the privilege of doing this.

1052
00:59:40,521 --> 00:59:41,788
[crowd booing]

1053
00:59:45,888 --> 00:59:52,621
And gives me the honor
of bringing my nation great pride,

1054
00:59:55,904 --> 00:59:57,555
[crowd booing]

1055
00:59:59,455 --> 01:00:00,955
[Corey] What a handsome title.

1056
01:00:03,588 --> 01:00:04,504
Folks.

1057
01:00:05,205 --> 01:00:08,488
I'm just proud of being from Canada.

1058
01:00:11,771 --> 01:00:13,688
But some information going forward.

1059
01:00:15,038 --> 01:00:19,821
To claim yourself
as a great North American Champion,

1060
01:00:19,904 --> 01:00:24,921
it will now come with the
Canadian Standard of Excellence.

1061
01:00:27,688 --> 01:00:29,138
Because we just do it better.

1062
01:00:30,221 --> 01:00:32,321
We are kinder to each other.

1063
01:00:32,404 --> 01:00:34,321
We respect each other.

1064
01:00:34,404 --> 01:00:40,838
When we take on challenges, we do it
with pride and with honor, and guys,

1065
01:00:40,921 --> 01:00:42,754
that's just our athletes.

1066
01:00:43,938 --> 01:00:45,455
Our civilian life

1067
01:00:45,538 --> 01:00:47,188
is better than yours, too.

1068
01:00:47,771 --> 01:00:51,154
Our food is better and healthier.

1069
01:00:51,671 --> 01:00:55,705
Our women are hotter and healthier.

1070
01:00:55,788 --> 01:00:56,904
Our air,

1071
01:00:59,205 --> 01:01:01,421
it's definitely cleaner.

1072
01:01:02,205 --> 01:01:04,521
I mean, guys, Houston kind of stinks.

1073
01:01:05,321 --> 01:01:06,371
[crowd booing]

1074
01:01:07,355 --> 01:01:08,238
It does.

1075
01:01:08,321 --> 01:01:09,921
It's okay.

1076
01:01:10,004 --> 01:01:12,805
I accept you all as you are.

1077
01:01:12,888 --> 01:01:16,338
Because Houston's in Texas,
Texas is in the US,

1078
01:01:16,421 --> 01:01:17,921
and the USA

1079
01:01:17,955 --> 01:01:23,038
is in my North America.
As your North American Champion,

1080
01:01:23,121 --> 01:01:26,588
I take great pride in holding this.

1081
01:01:27,654 --> 01:01:32,188
I would like to close my celebration
as your North American champion

1082
01:01:32,271 --> 01:01:37,455
by asking you all to rise for the singing
of the Canadian national anthem.

1083
01:01:37,488 --> 01:01:39,404
[Corey] Come on, guys,
show a little respect.

1084
01:01:39,438 --> 01:01:40,271
You serious, Graves?

1085
01:01:40,355 --> 01:01:42,888
[Corey] I'm not not gonna
disrespect the man's country.

1086
01:01:42,971 --> 01:01:45,721
Now, I'm sorry, I don't have
a good singing voice.

1087
01:01:45,805 --> 01:01:49,955
But the thought of having
an American butcher my national anthem,

1088
01:01:51,521 --> 01:01:53,438
I would just rather sing it myself.

1089
01:01:57,355 --> 01:02:00,404
[singing] Oh, Canada…

1090
01:02:02,154 --> 01:02:03,388
[Vic] I'm gonna be sick.

1091
01:02:05,088 --> 01:02:06,438
[music playing]

1092
01:02:11,388 --> 01:02:12,921
[Vic] Now why you sit down?

1093
01:02:13,004 --> 01:02:15,121
It's the TNA Director of Authority.

1094
01:02:22,588 --> 01:02:24,138
[Corey] Stop pandering, Joseph.

1095
01:02:36,538 --> 01:02:38,238
[crowd chanting] Santino! Santino!

1096
01:02:41,671 --> 01:02:44,071
[Ethan] Everyone, shut up!
You're ruining my celebration.

1097
01:02:45,788 --> 01:02:46,705
You know what?

1098
01:02:47,688 --> 01:02:50,105
You've got a big mouth, Ethan Page.

1099
01:02:53,088 --> 01:02:55,221
You should be ashamed for yourself.

1100
01:02:57,271 --> 01:03:00,504
Now, many people here know
that I am from Italy.

1101
01:03:00,588 --> 01:03:04,471
And I'm trying to follow
in the great combat sports athletes

1102
01:03:04,504 --> 01:03:06,705
such as, Bruno Sammartino.

1103
01:03:06,738 --> 01:03:08,338
[crowd cheering]

1104
01:03:08,371 --> 01:03:10,088
Cannonball Parisi.

1105
01:03:10,121 --> 01:03:11,221
[crowd cheering]

1106
01:03:11,254 --> 01:03:13,821
And, of course, Rocky Balboa.

1107
01:03:13,855 --> 01:03:16,188
[crowd cheering]

1108
01:03:17,071 --> 01:03:21,688
But what people might not know is that
I currently actually live in Canada,

1109
01:03:21,721 --> 01:03:26,188
and I raise my family there.
And trusting you me when I say this,

1110
01:03:26,221 --> 01:03:27,955
we don't think like you.

1111
01:03:27,988 --> 01:03:29,771
[crowd cheering]

1112
01:03:29,805 --> 01:03:34,138
Look, the people from Canada,
United States, Mexico,

1113
01:03:34,171 --> 01:03:37,904
and the people here,
they're good people, hard-working people.

1114
01:03:37,938 --> 01:03:39,788
[crowd cheering]

1115
01:03:39,821 --> 01:03:44,855
And the garbage coming out of your mouth,
it makes me sick, you son of a gun.

1116
01:03:44,888 --> 01:03:47,138
[crowd cheering]

1117
01:03:47,171 --> 01:03:50,605
But, of course, you wouldn't relate
to these people, would you?

1118
01:03:50,638 --> 01:03:53,521
Because you know what you are?
You're a bum hole boy.

1119
01:03:54,138 --> 01:03:56,538
-[crowd exclaiming]
-[Ethan chuckles]

1120
01:03:56,571 --> 01:03:59,671
[crowd chanting "bum hole boy"]

1121
01:03:59,705 --> 01:04:04,004
All right, nope, that's enough of that.
Listen, you're clearly lost.

1122
01:04:04,038 --> 01:04:07,004
Look down at your jacket, pal.
Go back to TNA.

1123
01:04:07,038 --> 01:04:09,171
This is the champ show.

1124
01:04:09,205 --> 01:04:10,621
Bye-bye.

1125
01:04:10,654 --> 01:04:12,471
You are right. You are correct.

1126
01:04:12,504 --> 01:04:15,171
I am the Director of Authority at TNA.

1127
01:04:15,205 --> 01:04:17,388
But I'm also friends with Ava,

1128
01:04:17,421 --> 01:04:19,038
and we're standing in the back

1129
01:04:19,071 --> 01:04:21,038
and listening to the garbage
coming out of you.

1130
01:04:21,071 --> 01:04:24,138
I can't take it anymore,
so I came out here.

1131
01:04:24,171 --> 01:04:27,388
You know what?
One thing you did say was correct.

1132
01:04:27,421 --> 01:04:31,071
This title should be held
by somebody with dignity,

1133
01:04:31,105 --> 01:04:34,188
honor, class, pride,

1134
01:04:34,221 --> 01:04:37,071
but you have none of those things.

1135
01:04:38,205 --> 01:04:39,221
What are you talking about?

1136
01:04:39,254 --> 01:04:41,555
But you know who has some of those things?

1137
01:04:43,221 --> 01:04:44,521
Myself.

1138
01:04:44,571 --> 01:04:47,321
[crowd cheering]

1139
01:04:47,355 --> 01:04:49,571
I'll see you next week.

1140
01:04:49,605 --> 01:04:51,805
Oh. Next week?

1141
01:04:51,838 --> 01:04:53,838
Well, you think
you do call the shots, huh?

1142
01:04:53,871 --> 01:04:57,521
Nah. I say we do this right now.
Someone come take this title.

1143
01:04:59,388 --> 01:05:02,504
[Vic] Oh. What is happening?

1144
01:05:03,188 --> 01:05:05,071
-Take that.
-[Vic] This is insane.

1145
01:05:05,121 --> 01:05:07,121
[Graves] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Cobra.

1146
01:05:09,805 --> 01:05:11,771
[Vic] Paige getting the hell out of Dodge.

1147
01:05:12,404 --> 01:05:14,921
But if that one gets made official, guys,

1148
01:05:14,955 --> 01:05:17,021
we could see Santino Marella.

1149
01:05:17,055 --> 01:05:20,088
Could he pull off another miracle
live next week?

1150
01:05:24,055 --> 01:05:26,754
[crowd cheering]

1151
01:05:32,504 --> 01:05:34,455
[clears throat] Excuse me, boys.

1152
01:05:51,238 --> 01:05:52,888
[sighs] I don't know about that.

1153
01:05:55,421 --> 01:05:57,638
-Je'Von.
-Yoshiki.

1154
01:05:57,671 --> 01:05:58,771
What's up, gangsta?

1155
01:05:58,805 --> 01:06:00,521
I need some advice.

1156
01:06:00,555 --> 01:06:03,538
Advice? I'm only 21, bro.

1157
01:06:03,571 --> 01:06:05,355
You're right. Never mind.

1158
01:06:05,388 --> 01:06:07,938
No, I'm just playing.
I'm just playing, bro.

1159
01:06:07,971 --> 01:06:10,371
Come on. Come on. I got you. What's up?

1160
01:06:11,504 --> 01:06:13,455
Am I a bad friend?

1161
01:06:13,488 --> 01:06:17,305
Because I didn't listen to Briggs
and fight with honor.

1162
01:06:18,588 --> 01:06:22,205
No, fool, I don't think you're
a bad friend, bruh. You know?

1163
01:06:22,238 --> 01:06:25,538
You're cool. You just…
You got your own code.

1164
01:06:25,571 --> 01:06:27,638
You know? You're going down
your own path right now.

1165
01:06:28,438 --> 01:06:29,788
I like Briggs,

1166
01:06:29,821 --> 01:06:33,521
but sometimes I don't like how he thinks.

1167
01:06:33,555 --> 01:06:37,038
Yeah. Yeah. But sometimes you can

1168
01:06:37,071 --> 01:06:39,988
love somebody and not like 'em.
You feel me?

1169
01:06:42,438 --> 01:06:44,605
[laughs] No, like, you feel me?

1170
01:06:48,738 --> 01:06:50,588
Je'Von, I feel you.

1171
01:06:52,105 --> 01:06:54,121
-Yeah.
-What are you doing?

1172
01:06:55,821 --> 01:06:58,871
Uh, nothing. Just trying
to figure out what's next.

1173
01:06:58,904 --> 01:07:01,321
You have plenty of time to figure it out.

1174
01:07:02,138 --> 01:07:03,305
-Thank you.
-For me,

1175
01:07:04,771 --> 01:07:06,021
what's next is

1176
01:07:06,938 --> 01:07:08,588
NXT Championship.

1177
01:07:09,988 --> 01:07:12,055
Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

1178
01:07:12,088 --> 01:07:13,004
What about it, Charlie?

1179
01:07:13,038 --> 01:07:15,138
You still think you know better
than everyone, Charlie.

1180
01:07:15,171 --> 01:07:18,088
Myles, go away.

1181
01:07:20,105 --> 01:07:21,004
No.

1182
01:07:21,788 --> 01:07:23,288
Myles, you stay.

1183
01:07:26,071 --> 01:07:28,321
Why don't you tell me to go away, Charlie?

1184
01:07:28,355 --> 01:07:29,288
[Charlie chuckles softly]

1185
01:07:30,438 --> 01:07:31,488
Didn't think so.

1186
01:07:33,071 --> 01:07:33,971
Wren.

1187
01:07:37,254 --> 01:07:38,355
Great match tonight.

1188
01:07:39,004 --> 01:07:41,305
Keep up the great work.
I'm so proud of you.

1189
01:07:44,355 --> 01:07:45,238
You two.

1190
01:07:46,621 --> 01:07:47,904
Little bit of a problem.

1191
01:07:47,938 --> 01:07:49,605
You've already had a match,

1192
01:07:50,504 --> 01:07:52,421
but it ended kind of controversial.

1193
01:07:52,455 --> 01:07:53,838
To say the least.

1194
01:07:53,871 --> 01:07:55,004
Got a suggestion.

1195
01:07:55,721 --> 01:07:59,404
I'm gonna go talk to Ava. If she's cool
with it, here's what we're gonna do.

1196
01:08:00,371 --> 01:08:02,671
Tavion, if you win,

1197
01:08:03,788 --> 01:08:05,555
-you're on your own.
-Thank you.

1198
01:08:05,588 --> 01:08:07,305
-Thank you.
-You're solo.

1199
01:08:07,338 --> 01:08:10,055
You look at Charlie, you say,
"Take care, brush your hair."

1200
01:08:12,221 --> 01:08:13,771
But if Charlie wins,

1201
01:08:14,988 --> 01:08:18,038
-you stay in the Catch Crew…
-Oh, hell no.

1202
01:08:18,071 --> 01:08:20,121
…and you do it with a smile on your face.

1203
01:08:21,671 --> 01:08:23,354
-Good?
-Good.

1204
01:08:23,971 --> 01:08:25,521
Yeah, that sounds good to me.

1205
01:08:26,271 --> 01:08:27,104
Deal.

1206
01:08:30,388 --> 01:08:31,705
Not bad, right?

1207
01:08:31,738 --> 01:08:34,871
Uh, Lexis King incoming.

1208
01:08:34,904 --> 01:08:36,154
-I'll--
-Hey, you.

1209
01:08:36,188 --> 01:08:37,671
You're a big fat phony!

1210
01:08:37,705 --> 01:08:39,621
-What are you talking about?
-You're not deaf.

1211
01:08:39,654 --> 01:08:42,971
I know you're not deaf, because I've been
wearing these noise-canceling headphones,

1212
01:08:43,005 --> 01:08:45,755
and I just heard
everything you all just said.

1213
01:08:45,788 --> 01:08:48,304
Myles, let's face it.
You're pretending to be deaf

1214
01:08:48,338 --> 01:08:50,304
to get sympathy for yourself.

1215
01:08:50,338 --> 01:08:52,771
Shoot. If you're deaf,
then I'm blind. [scoffs]

1216
01:08:52,804 --> 01:08:54,804
You're not blind or deaf.

1217
01:08:54,838 --> 01:08:57,321
But everyone around here
sure wishes you were mute.

1218
01:08:57,904 --> 01:09:00,104
[crowd exclaiming]

1219
01:09:00,138 --> 01:09:03,371
Well, it has been a wild night here
in your hometown of Houston.

1220
01:09:03,404 --> 01:09:05,521
We are sold out here tonight.

1221
01:09:05,554 --> 01:09:07,971
And we're still trying to get an update on

1222
01:09:08,005 --> 01:09:10,188
Ricky Saints
after what happened earlier tonight.

1223
01:09:10,221 --> 01:09:11,955
But I want to talk about actually

1224
01:09:11,988 --> 01:09:13,854
what happened last night
on Monday Night Raw.

1225
01:09:13,888 --> 01:09:17,955
Could you possibly be referring
to the return of the OTC?

1226
01:09:18,005 --> 01:09:21,705
Roman Reigns rocking the Toyota Center
in H-Town last night.

1227
01:09:21,738 --> 01:09:24,371
And earlier today,
Reigns took to social media

1228
01:09:24,404 --> 01:09:25,488
to make this post.

1229
01:09:29,271 --> 01:09:30,938
So I'm sitting on the jet last night,

1230
01:09:32,154 --> 01:09:33,971
and I'm just running it back to my head.

1231
01:09:35,421 --> 01:09:39,588
Keep hearing those squeaky little words
that came out of Bron Breakker's mouth,

1232
01:09:39,621 --> 01:09:41,238
running his mouth,

1233
01:09:41,271 --> 01:09:44,388
talking about a whole bunch of stuff
that he just don't understand, you know?

1234
01:09:47,788 --> 01:09:50,471
And I told myself,
"Man, we can keep doing this."

1235
01:09:50,505 --> 01:09:53,404
"We just keep going
and we can brawl every single week."

1236
01:09:54,288 --> 01:09:55,855
But these boys think they're the future.

1237
01:09:56,871 --> 01:09:57,871
And the only way

1238
01:09:57,904 --> 01:10:00,855
to really become the future,
become who you think you are,

1239
01:10:02,571 --> 01:10:04,021
is by capturing the moment.

1240
01:10:04,738 --> 01:10:08,304
And you can't do that only on Mondays.
No, you got to do it at the big PLEs.

1241
01:10:08,338 --> 01:10:12,938
You got to do it at the SummerSlams,
at the Royal Rumbles, at the Manias.

1242
01:10:12,971 --> 01:10:16,188
That's how I made my career.
That's how I made my living.

1243
01:10:18,138 --> 01:10:20,988
And since that none of us
are in title matches,

1244
01:10:21,821 --> 01:10:25,905
we don't really have much going on, so,
I'm gonna go ahead and extend the offer.

1245
01:10:26,938 --> 01:10:30,054
If "Main Event" Jey Uso,
the Yeet Man himself,

1246
01:10:30,088 --> 01:10:31,888
would trust me one last time.

1247
01:10:31,921 --> 01:10:34,605
I loved it last night.
I love standing shoulder-to-shoulder

1248
01:10:34,638 --> 01:10:36,304
taking on anybody.

1249
01:10:36,338 --> 01:10:38,205
I love doing that with my family.

1250
01:10:38,238 --> 01:10:40,205
If he'll trust me

1251
01:10:41,238 --> 01:10:43,338
and accept this challenge with me,

1252
01:10:44,155 --> 01:10:46,488
I say we take on Bron brawns.

1253
01:10:47,271 --> 01:10:50,838
Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed
at SummerSlam,

1254
01:10:51,605 --> 01:10:53,121
with the dumb ass in their corner.

1255
01:10:53,155 --> 01:10:55,005
They can have him.
We don't need him no more.

1256
01:11:00,271 --> 01:11:01,355
He ain't got much time.

1257
01:11:02,738 --> 01:11:05,321
[Vic] That's quite an olive branch
offered by the OTC.

1258
01:11:05,355 --> 01:11:07,971
But we got some breaking news
from the desk of our general manager.

1259
01:11:08,005 --> 01:11:10,038
Ethan Page will defend
the North American Title

1260
01:11:10,071 --> 01:11:13,155
against the TNA Director of Authority,
Santino Marella.

1261
01:11:13,188 --> 01:11:14,988
Will we witness another miracle?

1262
01:11:15,021 --> 01:11:18,405
We find out next week live
right here on NXT.

1263
01:11:22,438 --> 01:11:23,838
["Journey Ahead" playing]

1264
01:11:23,871 --> 01:11:26,388
[Vic] But it is time for our main event.

1265
01:11:28,505 --> 01:11:29,938
[bell dinging]

1266
01:11:29,971 --> 01:11:33,871
[announcer] The following contest
is a triple threat match

1267
01:11:33,905 --> 01:11:35,971
scheduled for one fall.

1268
01:11:36,005 --> 01:11:37,255
And it is for

1269
01:11:37,288 --> 01:11:42,871
the NXT Championship!

1270
01:11:42,905 --> 01:11:45,488
Introducing first, from Nothing, Arizona,

1271
01:11:45,521 --> 01:11:48,271
weighing in at 290 pounds,

1272
01:11:48,304 --> 01:11:51,421
Josh Briggs!

1273
01:11:51,455 --> 01:11:52,655
[Vic] Triple threat match.

1274
01:11:52,688 --> 01:11:55,755
Who walks out of Houston
with the NXT title?

1275
01:11:55,788 --> 01:11:56,855
Find out next.

1276
01:12:01,054 --> 01:12:02,688
["Hands Of Fate" playing]

1277
01:12:02,721 --> 01:12:06,338
[Vic] It's main event time on NXT.

1278
01:12:12,554 --> 01:12:16,488
Sold-out crowd on their feet
for our champion.

1279
01:12:19,538 --> 01:12:21,505
[intense music playing]

1280
01:12:29,355 --> 01:12:32,554
[ring announcer] And their opponent
from Lagos, Nigeria,

1281
01:12:32,588 --> 01:12:36,838
weighing in at 310 pounds,

1282
01:12:36,871 --> 01:12:41,838
he is the NXT champion,

1283
01:12:41,871 --> 01:12:46,438
Oba Femi!

1284
01:12:46,471 --> 01:12:48,205
[Vic] Six months in, Graves,

1285
01:12:48,238 --> 01:12:52,238
how remarkable has this championship reign
been for Oba Femi?

1286
01:12:52,271 --> 01:12:54,871
[Corey] If you have eyes
that function properly

1287
01:12:54,905 --> 01:12:57,405
and you've been able to lay them
on the ruler,

1288
01:12:57,438 --> 01:13:00,304
how can you not be impressed?

1289
01:13:00,338 --> 01:13:03,938
I know for a fact,
Nick Aldis, Adam Pearce,

1290
01:13:03,971 --> 01:13:06,605
a lot of people that I run into at
Monday Night Raw,

1291
01:13:06,638 --> 01:13:09,638
know all about everything
Oba Femi is doing.

1292
01:13:09,671 --> 01:13:12,655
The man is making waves industry-wide.

1293
01:13:12,688 --> 01:13:15,621
And why is that, Booker,
what's on the menu tonight?

1294
01:13:15,655 --> 01:13:21,221
[Booker T] No bread, no water.
Just meat. Oh, yes, man.

1295
01:13:21,255 --> 01:13:24,371
[Vic] Well, Briggs is upset that
his friend Yoshiki Inamora

1296
01:13:24,405 --> 01:13:27,721
has had a championship match
for that NXT title,

1297
01:13:27,755 --> 01:13:29,271
and he's never received one.

1298
01:13:29,304 --> 01:13:32,671
So, Book, I come to you and go,
"Where has this attitude been

1299
01:13:32,705 --> 01:13:34,671
for four years from Josh Briggs?"

1300
01:13:34,705 --> 01:13:36,905
[Booker T] When get in the business,
you're naive.

1301
01:13:36,938 --> 01:13:39,538
You're thinking about the fans
and looking for their approval.

1302
01:13:39,571 --> 01:13:42,271
That has gone out the window
for Big Josh Briggs.

1303
01:13:42,304 --> 01:13:45,688
[Vic] Here we go. Wonder if Briggs
and Inamura will work together as a unit,

1304
01:13:45,721 --> 01:13:49,855
But, Graves, didn't Briggs get
a NXT E championship match?

1305
01:13:49,888 --> 01:13:53,304
[Corey] He did. Briggs was gifted
a championship match

1306
01:13:53,338 --> 01:13:55,438
that Yoshiki Inamura earned,

1307
01:13:55,471 --> 01:13:58,304
the TNA championship match
several months back,

1308
01:13:58,338 --> 01:14:00,871
and again, the Man of Mayhem
failed to capitalize.

1309
01:14:00,905 --> 01:14:05,121
Another opportunity for Briggs, sure,
but The Ruler is technically outnumbered.

1310
01:14:05,155 --> 01:14:07,938
-Even this is every man for--
-[Booker] Oh, my God.

1311
01:14:07,971 --> 01:14:12,171
[Vic] Oba Femi has never lost
a triple threat match. He is 5-0.

1312
01:14:12,205 --> 01:14:14,721
-Booker, what does it say about Oba?
-Whoa!

1313
01:14:14,755 --> 01:14:17,671
That he wanted to grant-- Bam--
Inamura a rematch.

1314
01:14:17,705 --> 01:14:21,005
Briggs into the cover of the
splash for the title and a kick out.

1315
01:14:21,038 --> 01:14:25,071
[Booker] The man definitely thinks that
he could have beaten Inamura in a rematch.

1316
01:14:25,105 --> 01:14:27,054
But let me tell you
something about Oba Femi,

1317
01:14:27,088 --> 01:14:32,571
that 273 days as North American Champion
along with these six month,

1318
01:14:32,605 --> 01:14:35,371
This guy's been a champion
his whole career.

1319
01:14:35,405 --> 01:14:38,538
-We had a little bit of…
-[Vic] Oba taking out Inamura.

1320
01:14:38,571 --> 01:14:43,221
Graves, to your point,it seems early on,
Briggs and Inamura are working together

1321
01:14:43,255 --> 01:14:45,605
as a unit,
it's a glorified handicap match.

1322
01:14:45,638 --> 01:14:47,788
[Corey] It doesn't have to be personal.

1323
01:14:47,821 --> 01:14:50,405
You work together,
you try to take down Oba Femi,

1324
01:14:50,438 --> 01:14:52,538
try to soften up
The Ruler of the champion.

1325
01:14:52,571 --> 01:14:54,788
Then it becomes a one-on-one contest,

1326
01:14:54,821 --> 01:14:56,938
then you throw your friendship
out the window.

1327
01:14:56,971 --> 01:14:58,554
Because what's this about-- Booker?

1328
01:14:58,605 --> 01:15:01,005
[Booker T] Checks,
checks and championships, man.

1329
01:15:01,038 --> 01:15:03,688
Dollar Bill, man.
Dollar, dollar bill, y'all

1330
01:15:06,621 --> 01:15:09,054
[Vic] Inamura into the cover and-- Oh!

1331
01:15:09,088 --> 01:15:13,405
Briggs just stepped on the hand, I think,
inadvertently, of the official.

1332
01:15:18,371 --> 01:15:20,855
Going back and forth,
I don't know if you saw it.

1333
01:15:20,888 --> 01:15:24,721
Briggs got hit, bounced off, then took
a step. It went right into the ref.

1334
01:15:24,755 --> 01:15:27,155
[Corey] There's plausible deniability,
but look at the power--

1335
01:15:27,188 --> 01:15:29,238
-You gotta be kidding me.
-[Booker T] Wow!

1336
01:15:29,271 --> 01:15:31,355
[Vic] Double chokeslam. Femi rolling.

1337
01:15:36,771 --> 01:15:39,771
[Vic] These two men Briggs--
Oba Femi hanging in balance,

1338
01:15:39,804 --> 01:15:42,054
Yoshiki Inamura trying
to get back into this.

1339
01:15:42,088 --> 01:15:44,438
It's about the NXT title
triple threat rules.

1340
01:15:44,471 --> 01:15:47,721
Oba doesn't need to be factored
in the decision to lose the title.

1341
01:15:47,755 --> 01:15:51,205
But look, we've seen, uh,
teammates of sorts, Graves.

1342
01:15:51,238 --> 01:15:55,038
I mean everything Briggs has done,
is it for his friend or self-preservation?

1343
01:15:55,071 --> 01:15:58,438
[Corey] It should be for the opportunity
to become NXT champion,

1344
01:15:58,471 --> 01:16:00,821
the richest prize on this brand.

1345
01:16:00,855 --> 01:16:02,438
[Vic] Look at Oba!

1346
01:16:02,488 --> 01:16:06,505
Oba was holding on to the hair
of Josh Briggs, ripping him off the top.

1347
01:16:06,538 --> 01:16:10,071
And now for Yoshiki Inamura
he can win the title with honor.

1348
01:16:10,105 --> 01:16:13,655
Falls into the cover, hooks the leg,
and the champion kicked out.

1349
01:16:13,688 --> 01:16:16,388
But he fell to the cover of Briggs,
and Briggs kicked out.

1350
01:16:16,421 --> 01:16:18,238
[Corey] I don't understand
what's dishonorable.

1351
01:16:18,271 --> 01:16:20,505
-That was inadvertent--
-[Vic] I don't care.

1352
01:16:21,371 --> 01:16:22,721
What do you think it'd mean?

1353
01:16:22,755 --> 01:16:25,355
[Vic] I think he got kicked out,
fell into it, but Briggs thinks

1354
01:16:25,388 --> 01:16:27,688
it's his partner who turned on him.
It's triple threat.

1355
01:16:27,721 --> 01:16:31,804
[Corey] It's not about hurt feelings
or being best buddies in the ring.

1356
01:16:31,838 --> 01:16:35,321
Buy one another a drink afterwards.
Take somebody out to celebrate

1357
01:16:35,355 --> 01:16:37,588
when one of the two of you is champion.

1358
01:16:37,621 --> 01:16:41,621
[Vic] The question is, who will be our
champion in our next premium live event

1359
01:16:41,655 --> 01:16:44,105
-NXT Heatwave on August 19?
-[Booker T] Oh, baby.

1360
01:16:44,138 --> 01:16:47,371
-[Vic] Friendly fire. But does it matter?
-[Corey] doesn't matter.

1361
01:16:47,405 --> 01:16:51,455
Oba's smartest one in the ring now,
take advantage of the situation.

1362
01:16:51,488 --> 01:16:54,071
[Vic] Big move by Briggs,
could be taking advantage.

1363
01:16:54,105 --> 01:16:56,021
Big lariat to the back of the neck.

1364
01:16:56,054 --> 01:16:59,155
Briggs rolling, could be looking
for a chokeslam--

1365
01:16:59,188 --> 01:17:01,788
Bam! Center of the ring for the title.

1366
01:17:01,821 --> 01:17:04,938
Briggs for the championship and-- Ooh.

1367
01:17:04,971 --> 01:17:09,455
[Booker T] That big blow to the back of
Oba's head from Josh Briggs

1368
01:17:09,488 --> 01:17:11,755
tells me a whole lot about Briggs tonight.

1369
01:17:11,788 --> 01:17:15,588
He's out to win, man.
He's about the championship tonight, guys.

1370
01:17:15,621 --> 01:17:17,371
[Vic] Briggs jumping on top of Oba.

1371
01:17:17,405 --> 01:17:19,705
Talking about heatwave,
the better question is,

1372
01:17:19,738 --> 01:17:23,455
which one will be champion August 19
when NXT comes to Philadelphia?

1373
01:17:23,488 --> 01:17:27,171
As Oba turning things around,
Briggs able to counter for a moment

1374
01:17:27,205 --> 01:17:30,405
Inamura charging in.
He just ran over Briggs.

1375
01:17:31,271 --> 01:17:34,788
[Booker T] The big man, Oba Femi
right there, guys.

1376
01:17:34,821 --> 01:17:37,588
[Vic] Evans called it earlier,
Inamura has his own code.

1377
01:17:37,621 --> 01:17:39,138
He should just lived by it.

1378
01:17:39,171 --> 01:17:44,255
And now he's fighting the way he wants to
with honor with pride and-- Oh, bam!

1379
01:17:45,255 --> 01:17:48,521
Countered the fall from Briggs
pop-up powerbomb. Back in!

1380
01:17:48,554 --> 01:17:53,588
Just ran over Oba.
Inamura now tasting gold.

1381
01:17:55,538 --> 01:17:59,121
-Can he power up the massive champion?
-[Corey] Yes, he can.

1382
01:17:59,155 --> 01:18:01,804
-[Booker T] Wow. Look at the…
-Oh, my gosh. Easy.

1383
01:18:01,838 --> 01:18:03,671
[Vic] Sit down style.

1384
01:18:05,421 --> 01:18:06,488
Into the cover

1385
01:18:07,588 --> 01:18:10,655
Referee. Oh!

1386
01:18:10,688 --> 01:18:14,688
Briggs just pulled him out.
Oh, he's back in… this time.

1387
01:18:16,521 --> 01:18:19,338
The foot on the rope breaks the count.

1388
01:18:20,538 --> 01:18:22,554
The referee had to restart his count.

1389
01:18:26,071 --> 01:18:30,921
And again, things started to break down.
And I think, Yoshiki is pissed

1390
01:18:30,955 --> 01:18:33,571
-and rightfully so.
-[Booker T] Finally woke up, guys.

1391
01:18:33,605 --> 01:18:36,571
[Vic] Because the NXT universe
has been asking, "What if?"

1392
01:18:36,605 --> 01:18:39,538
"What if Briggs didn't intervene?"
That great American…

1393
01:18:39,571 --> 01:18:42,921
We could have seen this,
Yoshiki Inamura as champion.

1394
01:18:42,955 --> 01:18:44,971
What if Inamura wasn't distracted?

1395
01:18:45,005 --> 01:18:48,371
-[Booker T] He's going up right now.
-[Vic] He certainly is.

1396
01:18:48,405 --> 01:18:50,705
[Booker T] He got that ball.
Here we go, baby.

1397
01:18:50,738 --> 01:18:55,688
[Vic] Yoshiki… Bam! For the title.

1398
01:18:58,655 --> 01:19:00,955
[Booker T] Wow!

1399
01:19:01,855 --> 01:19:05,355
[Vic] Briggs in to the cover now
for the championship and… Oba.

1400
01:19:07,821 --> 01:19:12,304
[Booker T] By any chance,
by any means necessary tonight, guys.

1401
01:19:18,638 --> 01:19:22,155
[Vic] It's all about the NXT championship.

1402
01:19:22,771 --> 01:19:26,688
These two men were former partners,
Inamura return for Josh Briggs.

1403
01:19:26,721 --> 01:19:29,021
Inamura had an opportunity at the title.

1404
01:19:30,988 --> 01:19:33,938
[Corey] We've ripped the band-aid off.
Forget your feelings…

1405
01:19:34,871 --> 01:19:36,355
Chopped him in the face.

1406
01:19:38,855 --> 01:19:41,538
Briggs, answering back,
tried a second time.

1407
01:19:41,571 --> 01:19:46,071
Look at this combination.
Inamura flexing his striking ability

1408
01:19:46,105 --> 01:19:49,538
turned him back into the fight.

1409
01:19:50,988 --> 01:19:52,371
Back elbow.

1410
01:19:52,405 --> 01:19:55,571
This is turning into a slugfest.
Dunk it.

1411
01:19:56,738 --> 01:19:58,455
Across the throat of Inamura.

1412
01:19:59,105 --> 01:20:00,304
Oba back in.

1413
01:20:02,804 --> 01:20:06,688
-Oba's up.
-He's going through it, guys.

1414
01:20:07,638 --> 01:20:11,588
Into the cover, and Femi once again
overcomes the odds.

1415
01:20:11,971 --> 01:20:13,471
Sold-out in Houston.

1416
01:20:15,388 --> 01:20:17,105
[ring announcer] Here is a winner.

1417
01:20:17,138 --> 01:20:21,771
And still the NXT champion,

1418
01:20:21,804 --> 01:20:26,038
Oba Femi!

1419
01:20:28,071 --> 01:20:31,105
What a triple threat match tonight.

1420
01:20:32,221 --> 01:20:35,538
In the end, Oba Femi

1421
01:20:35,588 --> 01:20:38,371
is the one who is standing tall.

1422
01:20:38,405 --> 01:20:41,671
Once again it is Oba Femi.

1423
01:20:42,871 --> 01:20:46,071
Champion, as Briggs just ran over Inamura,

1424
01:20:46,105 --> 01:20:50,121
but Oba warned both of them
that pride would be the downfall.

1425
01:20:54,771 --> 01:20:57,271
You're still trying
to figure out what to do next?

1426
01:21:02,238 --> 01:21:03,155
You ask me,

1427
01:21:05,188 --> 01:21:07,821
you continue going after
the biggest dog in the yard.

1428
01:21:14,188 --> 01:21:15,105
Feel me?

1429
01:21:16,988 --> 01:21:17,905
Yeah.
e?
