-[Booker] She might. She might.

101
00:04:52,821 --> 00:04:55,521
But the thing is, Blake Monroe
came in with the right idea

102
00:04:55,555 --> 00:04:57,571
of putting everybody in that locker room

103
00:04:57,604 --> 00:05:00,838
and letting everybody know
that she's here for a reason.

104
00:05:00,871 --> 00:05:03,821
-And that is championships, baby.
-[Vic] Well, Graves,

-…as the double champion.
-Wow!

who has a great submission list,

118
00:05:32,938 --> 00:05:34,038

119
00:05:34,071 --> 00:05:36,705
-I never remember you doing a submission.
-[Booker] Dead lock? Armbar?

120
00:05:36,738 --> 00:05:39,638
[Vic] This is a single leg Boston Crab,
and Blake Monroe right now,

122
00:05:41,788 --> 00:05:43,288
and does, to break the hold.

123
00:05:43,321 --> 00:05:44,988
[Corey] To answer your previous question,
Vic,

124
00:05:45,021 --> 00:05:47,555
right now, there is so much
parity within the women's division.

125
00:05:47,588 --> 00:05:49,338
-It could go either way.
-[Booker] Oh, wow!

126
00:05:49,371 --> 00:05:50,921
[Corey] One win could be all it takes,

127
00:05:50,955 --> 00:05:53,205
or it could be one step
in the right direction

128
00:05:53,238 --> 00:05:56,071
to establishing momentum
and earning a title opportunity.

129
00:05:56,104 --> 00:05:58,171

Kelani was a champion,

130
00:05:58,205 --> 00:05:59,405
which Booker brought up.

131
00:05:59,438 --> 00:06:01,888

back into contention?

-[Booker] Just like that!

134
00:06:05,138 --> 00:06:06,438
[Vic] Is this going to be enough?

135
00:06:06,471 --> 00:06:09,421
Into the cover, and you saw that forearm
go right across the face,

136
00:06:09,455 --> 00:06:11,588
much like Monroe did to Kelani earlier.

137
00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:13,455
[Corey] It looks to me thus far
that Kelani Jordan

138
00:06:13,488 --> 00:06:15,788
is certainly on the right track
to making the climb back up,

139
00:06:15,821 --> 00:06:18,338
to the top of the mountain,
and the top turnbuckle!

142
00:06:22,071 --> 00:06:24,905
-[Booker] Wow!
-[Vic] Right under the jaw!

143
00:06:24,938 --> 00:06:27,671
-[Vic] And big, big knee!
-[Corey exclaims]

146
00:06:31,071 --> 00:06:33,221
We're seeing some resiliency
out of Jordan.

147
00:06:33,255 --> 00:06:36,321
[Booker] Yeah, resilient.
But has the damage been done here?

148
00:06:36,354 --> 00:06:37,621
Monroe right now

149
00:06:37,655 --> 00:06:40,088
-looking to put the hammer down!
-[upbeat music playing]

We still got a match going on!

158
00:06:59,588 --> 00:07:00,705
[Corey] Can you blame Monroe?

159
00:07:00,738 --> 00:07:03,521
I mean, she's got a maniac
trying to run her down!

160
00:07:05,171 --> 00:07:07,188

[Mike] Here is your winner,
as a result of a count-out,

168
00:07:26,521 --> 00:07:28,988
-Kelani Jordan!
-["Out Of This World" playing]

169
00:07:29,038 --> 00:07:34,438
[Vic] Quite the way to start
an unpredictable Tuesday night.

170
00:07:37,538 --> 00:07:39,205
-We got this.
-Yeah, me too, dawg.

171
00:07:39,238 --> 00:07:41,905
But we just don't talk about it,
the feeling will go away.

172
00:07:41,938 --> 00:07:43,905
Hey, boys, just checking in.
How are we feeling?

173
00:07:44,888 --> 00:07:45,971
We're freaking out.

174
00:07:46,005 --> 00:07:48,988
But we're gonna be all right.
We've got this tag title match tonight.

175
00:07:49,021 --> 00:07:51,771
Mr. Chase, be honest with us.

176
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:52,971
What are our chances?

177
00:07:55,104 --> 00:07:56,021
Honestly,

178
00:07:57,121 --> 00:07:58,554
about one in a million.

179
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:02,638
I'm sorry.
These matches are tough. It's…

180
00:08:05,255 --> 00:08:07,021
So you're saying there's a chance?

181
00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:09,505
I mean, with your support,
anything's possible, right?

182
00:08:09,538 --> 00:08:11,088
-Yeah.
-You've got our back.

183
00:08:11,121 --> 00:08:12,871
There's no way we're gonna disappoint you.

184
00:08:12,905 --> 00:08:14,238
Thanks! We're winning this thing.

185
00:08:14,271 --> 00:08:15,988
-Let's go!
-Come on! Get out there.

186
00:08:16,021 --> 00:08:18,021
-Let's go!
-Yeah, I got your back.

187

-["Accomplished" playing]
-[bell rings]

188
00:08:22,171 --> 00:08:24,905
[Mike] The following contest
scheduled for one fall,

189
00:08:24,938 --> 00:08:30,838
is for the NXT tag team championship!

190
00:08:31,471 --> 00:08:35,655
Introducing first,
representing Chase University,

191
00:08:35,688 --> 00:08:40,905
Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon!

192
00:08:43,138 --> 00:08:46,321
[Vic] We are set for the first
championship match of the night.

193
00:08:59,621 --> 00:09:02,121
["Burn This Engine Out" playing]

194
00:09:09,488 --> 00:09:11,321
[Mike] And their opponents,

195
00:09:11,355 --> 00:09:15,755
they are the NXT Tag Team champions,

196
00:09:15,788 --> 00:09:17,805
Hank Walker, Tank Ledger,

197
00:09:17,838 --> 00:09:21,388
Hank and Tank!

198
00:09:21,421 --> 00:09:23,371
[Vic] Well, Graves,
let's talk about the champions.

199
00:09:23,405 --> 00:09:27,388
Are they too easy going, so to speak?

200
00:09:27,421 --> 00:09:30,055
Listen, I have made my jokes
at the expense

201
00:09:30,088 --> 00:09:31,721
of Hank and Tank from time to time.

202
00:09:31,755 --> 00:09:35,271
But the truth is, once the bell rings,
these two guys are for real.

203
00:09:35,305 --> 00:09:37,221
They are legitimate.
They're bona fide.

204
00:09:37,255 --> 00:09:39,505
They are tough and they prove
week after week.

205
00:09:39,538 --> 00:09:40,738
[Booker] Tell it like it is.

206
00:09:40,771 --> 00:09:44,371
[Vic] Booker, I come to you,
and are the champions getting complacent?

207
00:09:44,405 --> 00:09:45,688
[Booker] Complacent?

208
00:09:45,721 --> 00:09:48,704
This tag team match started
back at Stand & Deliver.

209
00:09:48,738 --> 00:09:50,971
Versus Axiom and Nathan Frazer.

210
00:09:51,005 --> 00:09:53,505
And just continued from that point on.

211
00:09:53,538 --> 00:09:56,204
These guys are getting better and better
and better.

212
00:09:56,271 --> 00:09:58,121
That's just my opinion. That's just me.

213
00:09:58,155 --> 00:09:59,954
[Vic] It's hard
to disagree with you.

214
00:09:59,988 --> 00:10:01,988
This is their fourth defense
of the championships,

215
00:10:02,021 --> 00:10:06,671
including defending the title
down at Reality of Wrestling.

216
00:10:06,704 --> 00:10:08,671
[Booker T] That's where
the spark started, man.

217
00:10:08,704 --> 00:10:11,471
That's where the flame was lit
at Reality of Wrestling.

218
00:10:11,505 --> 00:10:14,355
I always say, Sherri Martel was…
And he's legitimate.

219
00:10:14,388 --> 00:10:16,888
-[Graves exclaims]
-[Booker T] Wait a minute. Here we go.

220
00:10:16,921 --> 00:10:20,221
[Graves] Connors out of the gate
with a superkick. Oh, and another!

221
00:10:20,271 --> 00:10:22,305
[crosstalk]

222
00:10:22,338 --> 00:10:26,621
[Joseph] We might have new champions.
And a kickout. Wow!

223
00:10:26,655 --> 00:10:29,755
I mean, this is a big opportunity
for Chase U.

224
00:10:29,788 --> 00:10:33,605
Gold could be headed back
to the campus of Chase University.

225
00:10:33,638 --> 00:10:36,538
And who will be the tag team champions

226
00:10:36,571 --> 00:10:39,221
when NXT heads to Philadelphia
in two weeks?

227
00:10:41,738 --> 00:10:43,255
Nice combination offense.

228
00:10:43,305 --> 00:10:46,171
One more time for the three…
And another near fall.

229
00:10:46,204 --> 00:10:48,738
[Booker T] Oh, baby! He can take Connors
off guard here early, guys.

230
00:10:48,771 --> 00:10:51,454
[Graves] I am reluctantly
going to give credit where it's due.

231
00:10:51,488 --> 00:10:56,538
An incredible flurry of tandem offense
from Chase U right off the opening bell.

232
00:10:56,571 --> 00:10:58,605
[Joseph] Book, to Corey's point, Booker,

233
00:10:58,638 --> 00:11:01,588
shouldn't Kale and Connors
be looking up to Andre Chase

234
00:11:01,621 --> 00:11:02,905
for his tag-team brilliance?

235
00:11:02,938 --> 00:11:05,438
[Booker T] Look, I'm not gonna go that far
or anything like that,

236
00:11:05,471 --> 00:11:07,188
-but I'll tell you right now…
-[thwack]

237
00:11:07,221 --> 00:11:09,155
I like Connors and Dixon, man.

238
00:11:09,188 --> 00:11:11,838
-These guys got the right idea…
-[commentators exclaim]

239
00:11:11,871 --> 00:11:15,204
[Joseph] That was a good idea.
Got booted right in the side of the ear.

240
00:11:15,238 --> 00:11:20,821
Connors might not like what he sees
because Big Man flying through the air.

241
00:11:21,388 --> 00:11:25,871
Tank is legal. Into the cover,
hook of the leg and just able to kick out.

242
00:11:25,905 --> 00:11:28,605
I mean, this has been
a hard-hitting affair out of the gate.

243
00:11:28,638 --> 00:11:32,105
[Graves] I am not seeing anything
even remotely resembling complacency

244
00:11:32,138 --> 00:11:33,471
out of Hank and Tank, Vic.

245
00:11:33,505 --> 00:11:35,505
And remember how this match came to be,

246
00:11:35,538 --> 00:11:38,788
Hank and Tank offered
the title opportunity to Chase U.

247
00:11:38,821 --> 00:11:40,488
They want to be fighting champions.

248
00:11:40,521 --> 00:11:43,405
Maybe they don't have
the level of competition they desire,

249
00:11:43,438 --> 00:11:45,871
but they want to fight,
they want to be in the mix all the time.

250
00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:48,121
[Joseph] But that complacency
goes back to Je'Von Evans

251
00:11:48,155 --> 00:11:50,305
saying, "Let's see
some fire out of you guys."

252
00:11:50,338 --> 00:11:54,621
"Let's see you guys have something
that is down in those bellies,"

253
00:11:54,655 --> 00:11:57,388
so to speak, that comes out at you
and wants to fight.

254
00:11:57,421 --> 00:11:59,255
[Graves] No disrespect to the young OG,

255
00:11:59,288 --> 00:12:01,838
but Hank and Tank
are wearing gold in the ring. Where's his?

256
00:12:01,871 --> 00:12:04,471
-[Joseph] That's a very good point.
-[Graves] The only kind I make.

257
00:12:04,505 --> 00:12:05,855
[Graves] Look at that!

258
00:12:05,888 --> 00:12:08,721
[Joseph] Right now, taking it to…
Right from behind, look who's legal,

259
00:12:08,755 --> 00:12:10,805
looking to steal it,
and another near fall.

260
00:12:10,838 --> 00:12:12,171
[crosstalk]

261
00:12:12,204 --> 00:12:14,954
[Joseph] As I mentioned,
the first championship match of the night,

262
00:12:14,988 --> 00:12:19,655
Tatum Paxley has a chance to win gold
back to The Culling, in our main event.

263
00:12:19,688 --> 00:12:21,721
Now, the topic of The Culling,

264
00:12:21,755 --> 00:12:24,905
I got to wonder if Hank and Tank
are thinking of future challengers

265
00:12:24,938 --> 00:12:27,038
-'cause they may not survive tonight.
-[crowd cheering]

266
00:12:27,071 --> 00:12:29,721
That's Kale Dixon,
whose used to championships,

267
00:12:29,755 --> 00:12:33,621
over 50 Division-1 athletic scholarships
were offered to this man.

268
00:12:33,655 --> 00:12:36,271
Three different
Major League Baseball teams reached out

269
00:12:36,305 --> 00:12:38,055
before he joined the WWE.

270
00:12:38,088 --> 00:12:41,221
He said earlier he was a runner-up
in the College World Series.

271
00:12:41,255 --> 00:12:43,005
He doesn't want that feeling again.

272
00:12:43,038 --> 00:12:45,938
Looking to fly,
able to roll right through. Tag was made.

273
00:12:45,971 --> 00:12:47,338
[Graves] Here comes Hank.

274
00:12:47,871 --> 00:12:49,005
Uh-oh.

275
00:12:49,038 --> 00:12:51,505
-[all exclaim]
-[Booker T] Big time.

276
00:12:51,538 --> 00:12:55,138
[Joseph] Hank, remember, is the legal man
for his team, Tank right now.

277
00:12:56,505 --> 00:12:59,305
And counters with a safe, paid the price.

278
00:12:59,338 --> 00:13:03,388
But that sacrifice might have
just opened the door for Chase U.

279
00:13:03,421 --> 00:13:05,355
[Graves] Dixon… Oh, counter roll.

280
00:13:06,121 --> 00:13:07,204
[Joseph] Uh-oh!

281
00:13:07,238 --> 00:13:08,721
[Booker T] Uh-uh. Don't set it down.

282
00:13:08,755 --> 00:13:09,921
[Joseph] Jigsaw.

283
00:13:10,704 --> 00:13:12,305
[Joseph] Into the cover.

284
00:13:13,471 --> 00:13:15,755
-The champions…
-[Booker T] That it…

285
00:13:15,788 --> 00:13:19,971
[Joseph] The referee says his shoulder
just got up.

286
00:13:20,005 --> 00:13:21,954
[Graves] He even had Tank playing defense.

287
00:13:22,038 --> 00:13:23,421
[Joseph] And I wonder if…

288
00:13:24,138 --> 00:13:28,388
if Hank and Tank…
If when Tank went to make the save,

289
00:13:28,438 --> 00:13:31,321
might have kicked the shoulder up.

290
00:13:31,355 --> 00:13:34,221
But look right now,
champions wasted no time.

291
00:13:34,255 --> 00:13:36,038
They realize this is the moment.

292
00:13:36,071 --> 00:13:38,188
[Graves] Keep your feet on the gas pedals.

293
00:13:38,238 --> 00:13:39,721
[Booker T] Oh, baby! Oh, yes!

294
00:13:39,755 --> 00:13:43,621
[Joseph] And there may be
no saving Kale Dixon now.

295
00:13:43,655 --> 00:13:46,805
-[Booker T] Double up, double up.
-[crowd] One, two, three.

296
00:13:46,838 --> 00:13:48,871
-[Joseph] And the champions retain.
-[bell dings]

297
00:13:48,905 --> 00:13:50,155
[Booker T] What a fight.

298
00:13:51,238 --> 00:13:54,088
[Rome] Here are your winners and still

299
00:13:54,121 --> 00:13:57,555
-the NXT tag team champions…
-[Joseph] Wow!

300
00:13:57,588 --> 00:13:59,805
[Rome] …Hank and Tank.

301
00:13:59,838 --> 00:14:02,038
[Joseph] A testament to hard work.

302
00:14:02,071 --> 00:14:05,838
A former security guard, an NIL athlete.

303
00:14:05,871 --> 00:14:09,871
No cutting corners, as you said,
not complacent, putting their full…

304
00:14:09,905 --> 00:14:12,338
["Chaos" playing]

305
00:14:12,371 --> 00:14:13,605
Oh, not now.

306
00:14:14,704 --> 00:14:16,838
-[Booker T] Hold the phone.
-[Joseph] Where are they?

307
00:14:16,871 --> 00:14:18,571
[Graves] They're everywhere.

308
00:14:21,338 --> 00:14:23,371
No one is safe.

309
00:14:23,405 --> 00:14:25,821
DarkState is on the scene.

310
00:14:25,854 --> 00:14:27,055
[Joseph] But why now?

311
00:14:28,104 --> 00:14:30,721
[Booker T] Fight! Fight! Fight, guys.

312
00:14:31,854 --> 00:14:33,288
[Graves] It's a damn melee.

313
00:14:37,255 --> 00:14:39,188
Chaos and destruction.

314
00:14:39,221 --> 00:14:40,988
[Joseph] Graves, Chase just got clipped.

315
00:14:41,021 --> 00:14:43,155
[Graves] Courtesy of DarkState.

316
00:14:43,204 --> 00:14:44,471
[Booker T] It ain't over.

317
00:14:44,505 --> 00:14:46,088
[Joseph] Tank just got dropped.

318
00:14:47,488 --> 00:14:52,604
DarkState has now placed a dark cloud
over the tag team division.

319
00:15:01,571 --> 00:15:04,421
Last week,
obviously did not go as planned.

320
00:15:04,454 --> 00:15:06,721
-Yeah.
-Lash, she's taken care of.

321
00:15:06,755 --> 00:15:08,188
-Yeah.
-But Jaida…

322
00:15:09,338 --> 00:15:11,238
-she's still coming after this.
-Okay.

323
00:15:11,271 --> 00:15:15,321
Not to mention Masha and Ash By Elegance
from TNA, coming for that title.

324
00:15:15,354 --> 00:15:17,188
-Don't remind me--
-Hello, Jacy.

325
00:15:18,155 --> 00:15:21,188
I have been personally sent here
to give you a message

326
00:15:21,221 --> 00:15:25,438
that this week will be the last week
you are the TNA knockouts champion.

327
00:15:25,471 --> 00:15:29,021
You see, the beautiful,
the gorgeous and stunning

328
00:15:29,055 --> 00:15:33,354
Miss Ash By Elegance is gonna beat you
for that title this Thursday.

329
00:15:34,138 --> 00:15:37,805
I'm just here to polish up that title
and make it nice and shiny.

330
00:15:37,838 --> 00:15:38,954
-[scoffs]
-Ooh!

331
00:15:38,988 --> 00:15:40,771
-Don't touch my title.
-[Nyx] Excuse you.

332
00:15:40,805 --> 00:15:42,655
-Get out. Out!
-Goodbye.

333
00:15:42,688 --> 00:15:44,438
Oh, yeah, speaking of,

334
00:15:44,471 --> 00:15:47,038
-isn't that Jazmyn's job anyways?
-[scoffs]

335
00:15:47,071 --> 00:15:49,555
That's a great point, Lainey.
You're right.

336
00:15:49,588 --> 00:15:51,788
Jazmyn, go shine them up nice for me.

337
00:15:51,821 --> 00:15:53,071
Make it nice and shiny.

338
00:15:53,104 --> 00:15:54,888
[both chuckle]

339
00:15:56,421 --> 00:15:57,971
[crowd cheering]

340
00:15:59,438 --> 00:16:01,538
-Tavion!
-Myles, my dawg.

341
00:16:01,571 --> 00:16:03,421
-Hey, congrats on that W man.
-Appreciate you.

342
00:16:03,454 --> 00:16:05,588
-I'm proud of you.
-I'm proud of you.

343
00:16:05,621 --> 00:16:08,488
-Hey, time for you to go make an impact.
-I already know, bro. You know me.

344
00:16:08,521 --> 00:16:10,204
I got my sights locked in
on something, dawg.

345
00:16:10,238 --> 00:16:12,238
You put me on game, bro. In the meantime,

346
00:16:12,288 --> 00:16:14,888
go shut up that hater, bro.
He be slipping way too much hate.

347
00:16:14,938 --> 00:16:16,521
Way too much. I'll see you on the outside.

348
00:16:16,555 --> 00:16:17,854
I'll see you, G boss. Stay up.

349
00:16:21,655 --> 00:16:23,021
I didn't actually play the champion,

350
00:16:23,055 --> 00:16:24,805
and I don't know,
that's a really big part of--

351
00:16:24,838 --> 00:16:25,988
Tatum, listen to me.

352
00:16:26,671 --> 00:16:28,138
I believe in you, okay?

353
00:16:28,755 --> 00:16:30,488
The Culling believes in you.

354
00:16:30,521 --> 00:16:32,055
-Do you hear me?
-That's right.

355
00:16:32,088 --> 00:16:34,938
If you beat Sol tonight,
you won't have to worry

356
00:16:34,988 --> 00:16:37,771
about fitting in with anyone ever again.

357
00:16:37,805 --> 00:16:40,505
Because you're gonna fit
into history books.

358
00:16:40,538 --> 00:16:42,221
This is your moment, Tatum.

359
00:16:43,088 --> 00:16:45,655
Okay. Okay, I'm gonna make you proud.

360
00:16:45,688 --> 00:16:48,738
Yes! Yes! I can do it.
I know I can do it. I can do it…

361
00:16:49,488 --> 00:16:53,121
Another championship main event
still to come here tonight at NXT.

362
00:16:53,155 --> 00:16:55,905
And how about the personal concierge
of TNA?

363
00:16:55,938 --> 00:17:00,788
Just putting Jacy Jayne on notice
for this Thursday's Knockout Championship.

364
00:17:00,821 --> 00:17:03,405
I thought that was the turtle guy
from the Six Flags commercials?

365
00:17:03,438 --> 00:17:05,438
No, it certainly was not.
What are you laughing at?

366
00:17:05,471 --> 00:17:07,121
-You thought that was funny?
-That was good.

367
00:17:07,155 --> 00:17:08,538
We're going to move on now.

368
00:17:08,571 --> 00:17:12,021
Let's go back to something that happened
on social media, courtesy of Thea Hail.

369
00:17:17,121 --> 00:17:19,338
Hi, everybody. Welcome back
to Chaotic Coffee Adventures.

370
00:17:19,371 --> 00:17:22,371
Today we're going to Baldwin Perk.

371
00:17:22,405 --> 00:17:23,971
Reminds me of Friends in here.

372
00:17:24,004 --> 00:17:26,405
Something Nia Jax doesn't have.
Who said that?

373
00:17:26,438 --> 00:17:28,655
Chairs are very difficult to move.

374
00:17:29,354 --> 00:17:30,971
[sighs softly] Reminds me of somebody.

375
00:17:31,004 --> 00:17:31,988
So beautiful.

376
00:17:32,021 --> 00:17:34,138
Imagine if Nia Jax
was beautiful on the inside.

377
00:17:34,171 --> 00:17:36,805
A little bitter, like Nia Jax.

378
00:17:36,838 --> 00:17:38,821
[man] Why do you keep talking
about Nia Jax?

379
00:17:38,855 --> 00:17:40,754
Because I just don't like her.
She walks into NXT

380
00:17:40,788 --> 00:17:43,105
like she owns the place,
interferes in people's matches

381
00:17:43,138 --> 00:17:45,821
and then goes, "Somebody can find out."
[bleep] What you find out.

382
00:17:45,855 --> 00:17:48,254
How about I make you find out, actually?
How would that be?

383
00:17:48,871 --> 00:17:50,538
I don't want that coffee anymore.

384
00:17:51,504 --> 00:17:52,705
I paid for this coffee.

385
00:17:54,405 --> 00:17:55,504
["Suck My Exhaust" playing]

386
00:17:55,538 --> 00:17:57,771
[Joseph] She might need a little
bit more caffeine tonight.

387
00:17:57,805 --> 00:17:59,321
[Graves] I would say absolutely not.

388
00:18:03,705 --> 00:18:06,205
-[crowd cheering]
-[bell dings]

389
00:18:06,421 --> 00:18:10,155
[Rome] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

390
00:18:10,438 --> 00:18:12,955
Introducing first,
from Wilmington, North Carolina,

391
00:18:12,988 --> 00:18:15,905
weighing in at 220 pounds,

392
00:18:15,938 --> 00:18:19,205
Myles Borne.

393
00:18:19,238 --> 00:18:20,838
[Joseph] Guys, we've heard this story.

394
00:18:20,871 --> 00:18:23,538
I had a chance to sit with him again
last week.

395
00:18:23,571 --> 00:18:26,738
Graves, just how inspirational
is Myles Borne?

396
00:18:26,771 --> 00:18:29,554
[Graves] Listen, I think Myles Borne
is an incredibly talented young man.

397
00:18:29,588 --> 00:18:30,988
He's got a very bright future.

398
00:18:31,021 --> 00:18:33,571
But Borne wanted out of the NQCC so bad.

399
00:18:33,605 --> 00:18:35,938
He got the opportunity he so desired.

400
00:18:35,971 --> 00:18:39,455
Now the question is,
what does Myles Borne do with it?

401
00:18:45,254 --> 00:18:46,688
[crowd cheering]

402
00:18:55,121 --> 00:18:57,338
["King" playing]

403
00:19:11,238 --> 00:19:12,871
[mixed cheers]

404
00:19:13,938 --> 00:19:16,554
[Rome] And his opponent
from Cincinnati, Ohio,

405
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:19,355
weighing in at 225 pounds,

406
00:19:19,388 --> 00:19:22,538
Lexis King.

407
00:19:23,205 --> 00:19:25,655
[Joseph] We've heard the story
for Myles Borne.

408
00:19:25,688 --> 00:19:28,054
We've seen the reaction on social media.

409
00:19:28,088 --> 00:19:31,138
We've seen how people have come up to him
from the locker room.

410
00:19:31,171 --> 00:19:36,088
Graves, why in the world
wouldn't someone like Lexis King

411
00:19:36,121 --> 00:19:38,288
just believe Myles Borne?

412
00:19:38,321 --> 00:19:40,405
Why does he keep calling him a phony?

413
00:19:40,438 --> 00:19:42,938
[Graves] Listen,
what I've learned in my time here in NXT

414
00:19:42,971 --> 00:19:45,754
is that Lexis King
is approximately as sharp as a marble.

415
00:19:45,788 --> 00:19:48,754
The guy's got a lot of talent
from bell-to-bell,

416
00:19:48,788 --> 00:19:51,004
but not necessarily
a lot happening between the ears.

417
00:19:51,038 --> 00:19:53,171
-If you get my drift.
-[Booker T] I don't know about that.

418
00:19:53,205 --> 00:19:55,004
We're talking about
the star of all television.

419
00:19:55,038 --> 00:19:56,638
We're talking about an Internet sensation.

420
00:19:56,671 --> 00:20:00,304
Guy got millions of followers.
I believe in Lexis King.

421
00:20:00,721 --> 00:20:02,504
Let me tell you, Myles Borne…

422
00:20:02,538 --> 00:20:05,004
The guy will lie to get an advantage.
Anybody…

423
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:06,638
That's the nature of the business, right?

424
00:20:06,688 --> 00:20:08,688
[Corey] Do you have a different
internet in Houston?

425
00:20:08,721 --> 00:20:10,688
[Vic] Yeah, what follower count
do you have

426
00:20:10,721 --> 00:20:12,271
where you got millions of followers?

427
00:20:12,304 --> 00:20:14,538
[Booker T]
I got millions of followers, man.

428
00:20:14,571 --> 00:20:16,388
Stepped into NXT, we know that.
We know that.

429
00:20:16,421 --> 00:20:18,838
[Vic] What pretext
are you living in right now?

430
00:20:18,888 --> 00:20:20,488
[Booker T] You guys are not nice.

431
00:20:20,521 --> 00:20:22,171
[Vic] Nice headlock takeover by King.

432
00:20:22,205 --> 00:20:24,304
You need to have Graves try…

433
00:20:24,338 --> 00:20:27,105
[Booker T] Look at his body.

434
00:20:27,138 --> 00:20:28,738
He looks great. Look at the abs.

435
00:20:28,771 --> 00:20:30,771
[Vic] …down. He'll be given two minutes.

436
00:20:30,804 --> 00:20:33,771
He will talk your ear off.
And look, Myles Borne defeated King

437
00:20:33,804 --> 00:20:35,838
last month leading to this match.

438
00:20:35,871 --> 00:20:37,638
[Booker T] Why you talking
about old stuff?

439
00:20:37,671 --> 00:20:39,138
[Vic] I'm not, I'm bringing up facts.

440
00:20:39,171 --> 00:20:40,754
Let's go back though, before the break.

441
00:20:40,788 --> 00:20:45,955
Did you hear Jacy Jayne said
Jazmyn Nyx's job to shine her titles?

442
00:20:45,988 --> 00:20:47,771
[Booker T] Well, I mean, come on.
She's a rookie.

443
00:20:47,838 --> 00:20:49,338
That's what rookies do, right?

444
00:20:49,371 --> 00:20:52,205
-Have you played sports before?
-[Vic] Yes, you're on one today.

445
00:20:52,238 --> 00:20:53,138
A little lore for you.

446
00:20:53,171 --> 00:20:55,821
Once upon a time, a very young--
Whoa, cover here by Borne.

447
00:20:55,855 --> 00:20:56,971
[Corey] A leg and a kickout.

448
00:20:57,004 --> 00:21:00,671
[Vic] A very young Corey Graves actually
carried King, Booker,

449
00:21:00,705 --> 00:21:02,105
-from ringside.
-[Corey] Oh, boy.

450
00:21:02,138 --> 00:21:03,105
[Booker T] Kimura.

451
00:21:03,138 --> 00:21:05,071
-[Vic] Pay your dues.
-[Booker T] Pay your dues.

452
00:21:05,105 --> 00:21:08,088
[Corey] At one point, Booker fell through
the stage and I got yelled at for it.

453
00:21:08,121 --> 00:21:10,471
-Oh!
-[Vic] Crossbody into the cover!

454
00:21:10,504 --> 00:21:13,171
Is this one going to be enough
and a nearfall.

455
00:21:13,205 --> 00:21:15,638
[Corey] I think Vic wants
to eat fish in a car or something.

456
00:21:15,671 --> 00:21:16,921
That counts.

457
00:21:16,955 --> 00:21:18,688
[Vic] I had a fish under my seat
for two weeks.

458
00:21:18,721 --> 00:21:20,438
-[Booker T] Good to see…
-[Vic] I did see it.

459
00:21:20,471 --> 00:21:22,938
I thought you were about to say
did you see that medulla oblongata

460
00:21:22,971 --> 00:21:25,721
[Corey]
Did you see that? Ushigoroshi by Borne.

461
00:21:25,754 --> 00:21:27,288
Into the cover. Hooks the leg.

462
00:21:27,321 --> 00:21:29,471
-[Vic] What did you just say?
-[Corey] I said Ushigoroshi.

463
00:21:29,504 --> 00:21:30,521
[Vic] That was a good move.

464
00:21:30,554 --> 00:21:32,238
Myles Borne pulling out some new tricks.

465
00:21:32,271 --> 00:21:34,238
Booker, why would Myles
lie about his condition?

466
00:21:34,271 --> 00:21:35,955
How are you gonna defend Lexis King?

467
00:21:35,988 --> 00:21:37,855
Why would Myles Borne lie
about his condition?

468
00:21:37,888 --> 00:21:40,205
[Booker T]
To take advantage of the situation.

469
00:21:40,238 --> 00:21:43,088
I mean, do we know Myles Borne?

470
00:21:43,138 --> 00:21:45,038
-[Corey] Oh!
-[Booker T] Do we really know this--

471
00:21:45,071 --> 00:21:46,938
[Vic] Yes.
Why would he lie about it?

472
00:21:46,971 --> 00:21:49,388
-Stopped by King.
-[Booker T] Why would he lie about it?

473
00:21:49,421 --> 00:21:52,488
[Vic] He spoke about his life.

474
00:21:52,521 --> 00:21:55,688
He's had overwhelming support
all over social media

475
00:21:55,721 --> 00:21:59,771
as Lexis King is hearing it
from the NXT universe.

476
00:21:59,804 --> 00:22:01,338
King going to the top.

477
00:22:01,371 --> 00:22:04,721
Looking down.
Maybe taking a little too much time.

478
00:22:04,754 --> 00:22:07,905
-And what a dropkick.
-[Booker T] Here's a dropkick.

479
00:22:07,938 --> 00:22:09,988
I tell you,
I like everything about Myles Borne.

480
00:22:10,021 --> 00:22:11,438
[Vic] Into the cover, hook of the leg.

481
00:22:11,471 --> 00:22:14,554
[Booker T] I don't want him to use this
as a crutch or anything like that.

482
00:22:14,588 --> 00:22:18,571
I don't want him to believe in himself
because he has a disability

483
00:22:18,605 --> 00:22:20,804
or anything like that…

484
00:22:20,838 --> 00:22:22,304
[Vic]
Wait a minute. One more time.

485
00:22:22,355 --> 00:22:23,621
Myles charging… oh!

486
00:22:23,671 --> 00:22:25,521
[Booker T] That's what I'm talking about.

487
00:22:25,554 --> 00:22:27,721
[Corey] Great closing speed by Lexis King.

488
00:22:27,754 --> 00:22:30,121
[Vic] Going through the kitchen sink
from Lexis King.

489
00:22:30,155 --> 00:22:32,621
And now, is King gonna take to the air?

490
00:22:32,655 --> 00:22:35,254
Whoa, he certainly did.

491
00:22:35,288 --> 00:22:37,038
Myles stopping on the dime.

492
00:22:37,071 --> 00:22:39,655
Up, over, wiping King out.

493
00:22:39,688 --> 00:22:43,754
Who is walking out tonight
victorious on NXT?

494
00:22:43,788 --> 00:22:45,754
[crowd cheering]

495
00:22:50,205 --> 00:22:52,188
[Vic] Desperation by Borne…

496
00:22:52,221 --> 00:22:54,971
but King refusing to relent
even from the outside.

497
00:22:55,004 --> 00:22:56,721
Bringing the fight. Oh, no, no. Oh!

498
00:22:56,754 --> 00:22:58,738
[Booker T] Yes, man.

499
00:22:58,771 --> 00:23:01,105
[Vic] Shoulder first went Borne.

500
00:23:01,138 --> 00:23:03,655
Can you hear King just screaming?

501
00:23:03,688 --> 00:23:07,188
This is a man
who just loves to stir up trouble.

502
00:23:07,221 --> 00:23:09,088
[Booker T] What you talking about?

503
00:23:09,121 --> 00:23:10,405
He's taking care of business.

504
00:23:10,438 --> 00:23:11,771
He's doing his job right there.

505
00:23:11,804 --> 00:23:13,188
-[Vic] Uh-oh.
-[Corey] Oh, no, no, no.

506
00:23:14,455 --> 00:23:16,004
-Oh, God!
-[Vic] Come on!

507
00:23:17,105 --> 00:23:19,088
Referee, check on Myles.

508
00:23:23,038 --> 00:23:26,588
Let's take another look
at this vicious stomp from King.

509
00:23:27,605 --> 00:23:29,538
Right on the ear of Borne

510
00:23:29,571 --> 00:23:34,371
whose skull was sandwiched between
King's boot and the steel ring stairs.

511
00:23:35,405 --> 00:23:39,955
Book, you think the referee might have to
save Borne from himself here?

512
00:23:39,988 --> 00:23:43,488
[Booker T] He may have to…
If he knew how to…

513
00:23:43,521 --> 00:23:49,004
Maybe stop this thing because right now,
Borne is in real trouble, man.

514
00:23:49,038 --> 00:23:50,088
Oh!

515
00:23:50,121 --> 00:23:53,071
[Vic] From Myles Borne's past,
he is not a quitter.

516
00:23:53,105 --> 00:23:55,421
He's not going to stop.
Into another cover.

517
00:23:55,455 --> 00:23:57,921
Hook of the leg and another kickout.

518
00:23:57,971 --> 00:24:00,105
You can just see it.

519
00:24:00,138 --> 00:24:02,288
Myles Borne, Graves, is in pain.

520
00:24:02,321 --> 00:24:03,871
He's in trouble right now.

521
00:24:03,905 --> 00:24:05,988
[Corey] You ever had the cartilage
smashed in your ear,

522
00:24:06,021 --> 00:24:09,588
you have an understanding
of how miserable and painful it is.

523
00:24:09,621 --> 00:24:11,254
You can't focus on anything else.

524
00:24:11,288 --> 00:24:13,538
And look at King getting interesting.

525
00:24:14,638 --> 00:24:17,705
[Booker T] What you expect
Lexis King to do here, guys?

526
00:24:17,738 --> 00:24:20,488
He's going to take advantage
of the situation.

527
00:24:20,521 --> 00:24:21,888
[Corey] Right in the ground.

528
00:24:22,554 --> 00:24:24,938
[Vic] Dragging Borne
right out of the corner.

529
00:24:24,988 --> 00:24:26,771
Another cover.

530
00:24:26,804 --> 00:24:30,438
Just getting the right shoulder up
was Myles Borne.

531
00:24:30,471 --> 00:24:33,388
In this state, how much more

532
00:24:33,421 --> 00:24:36,455
does Borne have in him in this matchup?

533
00:24:36,488 --> 00:24:38,738
[Corey] Lexis King looks like
he is intent on finding out.

534
00:24:38,771 --> 00:24:43,004
He delivers his kicks across the bridge
of Myles Borne's nose.

535
00:24:43,921 --> 00:24:46,221
Gotta respect the effort
of Lexis King thus far.

536
00:24:46,254 --> 00:24:47,455
The man is on a mission.

537
00:24:47,504 --> 00:24:48,638
Oh, got caught.

538
00:24:48,688 --> 00:24:50,605
Snap powerstorm by Borne.

539
00:24:50,638 --> 00:24:52,121
[Booker T] Didn't get all of it, though.

540
00:24:52,155 --> 00:24:54,088
[Vic] He certainly didn't get enough
of the rotation,

541
00:24:54,121 --> 00:24:57,021
but he got enough now to
pull himself back to his feet.

542
00:24:57,054 --> 00:24:59,955
Critical point in the matchup for Myles.

543
00:25:00,771 --> 00:25:04,754
Answer that, one clothesline. Booker,
Myles, he's only got one arm right now.

544
00:25:04,788 --> 00:25:05,838
It's only the right.

545
00:25:05,871 --> 00:25:08,671
[Booker T] Yeah but his bell's
still ringing it seems like.

546
00:25:08,705 --> 00:25:11,488
He's still clutching at that right ear.

547
00:25:11,521 --> 00:25:15,738
[Corey] Beautiful release,
belly to belly suplex by Borne.

548
00:25:15,771 --> 00:25:17,871
[Vic] Borne getting right back up.
Coming in.

549
00:25:18,821 --> 00:25:20,304
Another snap suplex.

550
00:25:20,338 --> 00:25:21,938
Borne back to his feet.

551
00:25:22,138 --> 00:25:25,455
And Borne trying
to pull the knee pad down.

552
00:25:25,504 --> 00:25:29,155
Now trying to inflict his own damage
to Lexis King.

553
00:25:29,488 --> 00:25:32,521
Right on the temple,
perhaps the ear of King.

554
00:25:32,554 --> 00:25:33,855
A little bit of payback.

555
00:25:33,888 --> 00:25:36,671
And then Myles with the front again.

556
00:25:36,705 --> 00:25:38,271
Connected. Cover.

557
00:25:38,321 --> 00:25:39,905
[Booker T] No way. No way.

558
00:25:39,938 --> 00:25:40,771
[bell dings]

559
00:25:41,021 --> 00:25:43,271
[Vic] Big victory for Borne.

560
00:25:43,321 --> 00:25:44,355
[Corey] Wow.

561
00:25:44,388 --> 00:25:49,254
[announcer]
Here is your winner, Myles Borne.

562
00:25:50,004 --> 00:25:53,538
[Vic] Able to overcome everything

563
00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:55,538
throughout this matchup, Graves,

564
00:25:56,038 --> 00:25:57,638
was Myles Borne.

565
00:25:57,671 --> 00:26:00,371
[Corey] Lexis King brought his A-game
and then some,

566
00:26:00,405 --> 00:26:02,788
showing the world how ruthless he can be.

567
00:26:02,821 --> 00:26:07,771
But the tenacity of Myles Borne
would be the game changer here.

568
00:26:07,804 --> 00:26:12,905
Borne again, driving King
neck first into the canvas.

569
00:26:12,938 --> 00:26:17,605
And another big win
as Myles Borne continues to stack wins

570
00:26:17,638 --> 00:26:20,388
and build momentum on NXT.

571
00:26:24,471 --> 00:26:27,321
Hey. Five up and five got put down.

572
00:26:27,355 --> 00:26:30,905
And poor Hank and Tank
always one step behind Darkstate.

573
00:26:30,938 --> 00:26:33,488
Two weeks ago,
do you think it was an accident?

574
00:26:33,521 --> 00:26:35,905
Do you think The Calling jumped you?

575
00:26:36,254 --> 00:26:38,071
Man, psych. That was us.

576
00:26:38,188 --> 00:26:41,538
-That's what I call calculated chaos.
-Is y'all surprised?

577
00:26:41,571 --> 00:26:43,271
Mystery solved.

578
00:26:43,304 --> 00:26:46,021
We don't ask for nothing, fool.

579
00:26:46,071 --> 00:26:49,538
We hit at whoever and we been hit at
for that tag title.

580
00:26:49,571 --> 00:26:51,638
Yeah, we've been on your ass
for a while now.

581
00:26:51,671 --> 00:26:53,238
Right up your butt.

582
00:26:53,271 --> 00:26:58,138
And i promise you're gonna stay right
there until you just can't handle us.

583
00:27:00,171 --> 00:27:02,971
Hey, our territory has been marked.
Gold is in reach.

584
00:27:03,004 --> 00:27:05,638
And when the lights go out,
ain't a damn thing safe.

585
00:27:05,921 --> 00:27:07,371
Especially them titles.

586
00:27:07,838 --> 00:27:09,405
-Hey, bro.
-Yes, sir.

587
00:27:09,504 --> 00:27:12,038
I think we're not done yet.

588
00:27:12,071 --> 00:27:13,804
-We are never done.
-Come on.

589
00:27:14,355 --> 00:27:17,221
[Vic] After hearing that,
Ava's going to need more security.

590
00:27:17,738 --> 00:27:18,738
Quickly.

591
00:27:18,771 --> 00:27:20,338
["Take What Is Mine" playing]

00:27:21,321 --> 00:27:25,155
[announcer] The following contest

[Vic]
We saw, we heard what Thea had to say.

602
00:27:58,205 --> 00:28:00,821
She may be regretting just that.

603
00:28:00,888 --> 00:28:04,321
At least it was reported as
perhaps her final words.

604
00:28:04,754 --> 00:28:07,938
Because here comes trouble.

605
00:28:07,971 --> 00:28:09,655
["Not Like Most Girls" playing]

606
00:28:15,821 --> 00:28:17,688
[announcer] And her opponent

607
00:28:17,721 --> 00:28:23,788
from San Diego, California, Nia Jax!

608
00:28:24,254 --> 00:28:28,521
[Vic] Graves,
just how dominant is Nia Jax?

609
00:28:29,138 --> 00:28:30,938
[Corey] I could sit here all night

610
00:28:30,971 --> 00:28:32,938
for the rest of the broadcast
and then some,

611
00:28:32,971 --> 00:28:36,221
telling you how powerful, how dominant,

612
00:28:36,254 --> 00:28:38,371
how dangerous Nia Jax can be.

613
00:28:38,405 --> 00:28:42,004
But I think, in a matter of seconds,
she's going to be all too happy

614
00:28:42,038 --> 00:28:45,871
to remind the world
at the expense of poor Thea Hail.

615
00:28:45,905 --> 00:28:49,521
[Vic] She's certainly reminding
the NXT universe of something.

616
00:28:49,554 --> 00:28:52,205
Last match on NXT, 2021

617
00:28:52,238 --> 00:28:55,388
when she was defending
the WWE women's tag team title.

618
00:28:55,421 --> 00:28:58,421
Her last singles match in NXT,

619
00:28:58,455 --> 00:29:02,788
you've got to go back to 2016
when she faced Asuka.

620
00:29:02,855 --> 00:29:06,838
[Corey] Listen, I think Thea Hail
should be regretting her decision already.

621
00:29:06,871 --> 00:29:08,338
Coming out of the gate strong.

622
00:29:08,371 --> 00:29:10,788
I admire the effort
but let's be perfectly honest.

623
00:29:10,821 --> 00:29:12,821
This may be the dumbest decision

624
00:29:12,855 --> 00:29:14,938
Thea Hail has made in her young life.

625
00:29:14,971 --> 00:29:19,021
[Vic] Booker, no doubt this would be
the biggest win of Hail's career.

626
00:29:19,054 --> 00:29:20,538
[Booker T]
It would be momentous, man.

627
00:29:20,571 --> 00:29:23,071
It would be the biggest win of her career
but let me tell you.

628
00:29:23,105 --> 00:29:25,355
I hope she's not thinking
about it like that.

629
00:29:25,388 --> 00:29:27,205
I hope she's thinking about survival.

630
00:29:27,238 --> 00:29:29,021
[Corey] I've got a great idea.

631
00:29:29,054 --> 00:29:31,254
Why don't you go to the zoo
and pick a fight with a tiger?

632
00:29:31,288 --> 00:29:33,738
You have the same chances
as Thea Hail right now.

633
00:29:33,771 --> 00:29:37,105
[Vic] Those aren't very good chances.
And right now, we are reminded

634
00:29:37,138 --> 00:29:39,171
that the Women's North American title

635
00:29:39,205 --> 00:29:42,238
will be defeated in our main event
as Thea Hail--

00:29:42,271 --> 00:29:44,155
[Booker T] A cover-- There you go.

637
00:29:44,188 --> 00:29:46,655
[Vic] Referee couldn't even get down
for a one count before

638
00:29:46,688 --> 00:29:49,088
Nia was able to overpower Thea Hail.

639
00:29:49,138 --> 00:29:50,455
Charging right back in.

640
00:29:52,288 --> 00:29:54,638
I don't know if the suplex
was the best idea.

641
00:29:54,671 --> 00:29:56,871
It's like saying what she did on--

642
00:29:56,905 --> 00:29:58,655
[Booker T] Oh, baby.

643
00:29:58,721 --> 00:30:00,205
Good night.

644
00:30:00,488 --> 00:30:03,571
[Vic] We saw on her IG
she wanted to step up.

645
00:30:04,321 --> 00:30:07,488
But I don't know if she even knew
what she was getting herself into?

646
00:30:07,521 --> 00:30:09,838
The first mistake Thea Hale made was
going on social media

647
00:30:09,871 --> 00:30:11,388
and calling out Nia Jax.

648
00:30:11,421 --> 00:30:15,138
The second mistake she made was showing up
for the match tonight.

649
00:30:15,171 --> 00:30:19,571
Anything else from here on out is on
Thea's shoulders alone.

[Booker T] Nia's here
for the reckoning, man.

651
00:30:21,671 --> 00:30:23,605
Nia's here to put this locker room
on dogs.

652
00:30:23,638 --> 00:30:27,504
You don't think she slipped on
a banana peel and showed up here, do you?

653
00:30:27,538 --> 00:30:29,804
-[Corey] No, I don't.
-She just made a wrong turn

654
00:30:29,838 --> 00:30:34,655
and ended up on Full Sail, do you?
No, she's here to create pain, havoc,

655
00:30:34,688 --> 00:30:37,254
-chaos, baby!
-[Corey] I don't want to agree with you,

656
00:30:37,288 --> 00:30:40,171
I have to. She's here to make an example
out of anyone.

657
00:30:40,205 --> 00:30:41,871
And everyone. Look at this,

658
00:30:41,905 --> 00:30:44,688
it's like a million dollar smile
on her wrecking ball.

659
00:30:44,721 --> 00:30:48,238
Nia Jax just imposing her will
on Thea Hale.

660
00:30:48,271 --> 00:30:50,605
[Vic] Look, Nia Jax doesn't care
if you're on NXT,

Evolve, Raw, SmackDown, hell, even TNA.

662
00:30:53,504 --> 00:30:57,905
She is not gonna let anyone
talk down to her without a fight.

[Booker T] Now just showing up
and dropping laughs,

664
00:31:00,504 --> 00:31:03,971
you gotta wonder, was that personal
or was it business?

665
00:31:04,004 --> 00:31:05,638
You gotta wonder, you gotta wonder.

666
00:31:07,221 --> 00:31:11,388
Nia Jax is having her way with ease here
against Thea Hale,

667
00:31:11,421 --> 00:31:17,688
and almost getting uncomfortable to watch,
because Nia Jax is in absolute control.

668
00:31:17,721 --> 00:31:19,271
[all cheering]

669
00:31:22,538 --> 00:31:25,254
Nia Jax is continuing to control
Thea Hale,

670
00:31:25,288 --> 00:31:28,955
a former Women's Champion,
former Queen of the Ring.

671
00:31:28,988 --> 00:31:32,671
And right now, this is akin to pulling
the wings off of a fly.

672
00:31:32,705 --> 00:31:37,304
Nia Jax is having the time of her life,
just making Thea Hale suffer.

673
00:31:37,338 --> 00:31:40,405
But the NXT Universe coming to life
behind Hale.

674
00:31:40,438 --> 00:31:42,921
-[Booker T] Oh, baby.
-And just when Thea starts

675
00:31:42,955 --> 00:31:46,921
to get some momentum,
it gets slam shot by Nia Jax.

676
00:31:46,955 --> 00:31:48,655
Count to 20.

677
00:31:48,688 --> 00:31:50,054
-Oh.
-What?

678
00:31:50,088 --> 00:31:54,071
[Vic] Hey, hey, that left shoulder got up,
there's still some fight in Thea Hale.

679
00:31:54,105 --> 00:31:56,171
And going back to last week,
as we've talked about it,

680
00:31:56,205 --> 00:31:58,171
Booker, you get why Nia dropped
the Bougie Bullet.

681
00:31:58,205 --> 00:32:00,988
[Booker T] Yo, let me tell you something,
like I said, you don't know

682
00:32:01,021 --> 00:32:02,888
if it was business, but I think
it's a little bit--

683
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:05,071
-Bam!
-Oh! Just like that, a little burst.

684
00:32:05,105 --> 00:32:07,221
Drop the bomb!

685
00:32:07,254 --> 00:32:08,271
I loved it.

686
00:32:08,304 --> 00:32:11,855
[Vic] Nia Jax is dangerous when
she wakes up in the morning.

687
00:32:11,888 --> 00:32:15,955
The last thing Jax needs
is more motivation to inflict punishment

688
00:32:15,988 --> 00:32:17,571
on anyone, no matter who you are.

689
00:32:17,605 --> 00:32:20,355
Thea is just the unlucky soul who made
the mistake of calling

690
00:32:20,388 --> 00:32:21,771
Nia Jax out publicly.

691
00:32:21,804 --> 00:32:24,955
Well, we saw what Nia Jax did last week.

692
00:32:24,988 --> 00:32:27,671
We heard what Nia Jax had to say,
issuing that--

693
00:32:27,705 --> 00:32:30,271
-Uh-oh!
-Open statement to everyone,

694
00:32:30,304 --> 00:32:32,721
it was Thea Hale who answered it
this week.

695
00:32:32,754 --> 00:32:35,988
And now Thea Hale trying to overcome
the odds here tonight,

696
00:32:36,021 --> 00:32:37,738
trying to get around for the DDT.

697
00:32:37,771 --> 00:32:42,038
Got countered on the shoulders of Nia Jax.
Thea able to slip down the back door.

698
00:32:42,071 --> 00:32:45,738
Nia, though, overpowering Thea
one more time.

699
00:32:45,771 --> 00:32:47,221
Thea, and--

700
00:32:47,254 --> 00:32:48,754
[Booker T] Oh, man.

701
00:32:48,788 --> 00:32:51,304
Just can't get out of the grip

702
00:32:52,171 --> 00:32:55,888
from the strength of Nia Jax.

703
00:32:55,921 --> 00:32:58,254
[Booker T] She's in the drop zone. No, no.

704
00:32:58,288 --> 00:33:00,538
[Corey] Thea out of the way just in time.

705
00:33:00,571 --> 00:33:02,821
Once again, Nia proves to be
her own worst enemy.

706
00:33:02,855 --> 00:33:04,521
Got a little overzealous and paid for it.

707
00:33:04,554 --> 00:33:07,538
I don't know how many more lives
Thea Hale could have left in this matchup,

708
00:33:07,571 --> 00:33:10,054
big right hand.
Trying to fight right back up,

709
00:33:10,088 --> 00:33:12,221
Thea Hale swinging away.

710
00:33:12,838 --> 00:33:14,021
[screams]

711
00:33:15,538 --> 00:33:20,521
And Thea knows it, she's gotta bring it
now, she's got to empty the tank here

712
00:33:20,554 --> 00:33:22,105
against Nia Jax.

713
00:33:22,138 --> 00:33:26,471
Another clothesline, she hit Nia
and she went down.

714
00:33:26,504 --> 00:33:29,838
[Booker T] Just gotta keep chopping,
just gotta keep chopping here.

715
00:33:29,871 --> 00:33:32,605
[Vic] Coming back in second time. DDT.

716
00:33:32,638 --> 00:33:35,338
-No way.
-[Corey] Into the cover, into the cover.

717
00:33:35,371 --> 00:33:40,405
[Vic] And we were so close
to a massive upset,

718
00:33:40,438 --> 00:33:44,171
a massive statement victory for Thea Hale.

719
00:33:46,638 --> 00:33:47,905
Keep going, Thea.

720
00:33:48,788 --> 00:33:51,238
Right down on the Jax. Another cover.

721
00:33:51,271 --> 00:33:53,304
-Another kick out.
-[screams]

722
00:33:53,338 --> 00:33:55,571
Right now, guys.

723
00:33:55,605 --> 00:33:58,688
[Vic] I mean, Booker, this is the best
opportunity for Thea to put Nia away.

724
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:01,988
Cover again.

725
00:34:02,021 --> 00:34:04,988
[Corey] Another kick out of Thea.
Can't get frustrated.

726
00:34:05,088 --> 00:34:07,655
You gotta know if Thea Hale has an image.

727
00:34:07,705 --> 00:34:12,404
That one big shot, that one big shot…
Could this be it?

728
00:34:12,438 --> 00:34:17,271
[Vic] She might be going for broke
and taking a little too much time.

729
00:34:17,304 --> 00:34:20,321
And, oh, nasty landing for Thea.

730
00:34:20,355 --> 00:34:25,221
Charging in comes Nia repeatedly,
pouncing on Thea.

731
00:34:25,921 --> 00:34:30,105
-And now setting up as Nia Jax.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby.

732
00:34:30,138 --> 00:34:32,421
[Vic] The Annihilator.

733
00:34:32,454 --> 00:34:34,605
[crowd] One, two, three!

734
00:34:34,638 --> 00:34:37,571
-[bell dinging]
-Jax dominant in her NXT return.

735
00:34:38,771 --> 00:34:45,505
[Corey] Here is your winner, Nia Jax.
You're the man with the words.

736
00:34:45,538 --> 00:34:48,438
[Vic] I think Dominant was a well way
to describe that victory.

737
00:34:48,471 --> 00:34:51,404
[Corey] I think Dominant may have been
the understatement of the night.

738
00:34:51,438 --> 00:34:54,788
This was pure annihilation.

739
00:34:54,821 --> 00:34:58,888
Pun heavily intended,
ripping Thea Hale off the ropes,

740
00:34:58,921 --> 00:35:00,988
delivering an Annihilator.

741
00:35:01,021 --> 00:35:03,471
And Jax would have counted to 25.

742
00:35:03,505 --> 00:35:05,721
Thea ain't getting up after that.

743
00:35:05,755 --> 00:35:08,771
I understand right now Kelly Kincaid
standing by.

744
00:35:10,921 --> 00:35:12,138
Nia Jax.

745
00:35:12,171 --> 00:35:16,221
Last week you cost Lash Legend
her match against Fallon Henley.

746
00:35:16,255 --> 00:35:17,438
And tonight I have--

747
00:35:18,055 --> 00:35:21,721
I impose my will, because any ring
I step into is mine.

748
00:35:23,188 --> 00:35:26,288
Lash Legend, you're not gonna make
a name off of my back.

749
00:35:27,154 --> 00:35:28,888
I'm a former champion, honey.

750
00:35:29,855 --> 00:35:33,505
I beat champions, legends, Hall of Famers.

751
00:35:34,138 --> 00:35:36,638
-What the heck have you done?
-[audience exclaiming]

You want to call yourself
the irresistible force?

756

Well, guess what?
You about to find out real quick

757
00:35:50,088 --> 00:35:52,938
that force breaks under when my pre--

758
00:35:52,971 --> 00:35:54,988
-[Booker T] Oh!
-[Vic] She didn't even wanna finish

759
00:35:55,021 --> 00:35:56,455
-the statement.
-Oh, yeah.

760
00:35:56,488 --> 00:36:00,121

Nia Jax, referees,

761
00:36:00,154 --> 00:36:03,271
-Security, they're all coming out.
-Let them fight.

762
00:36:03,305 --> 00:36:07,238
Who is the most dominant?
These two are on a collision course.

763
00:36:07,271 --> 00:36:10,321
[crowd chanting] Let them fight,
let them fight, let them fight!

764
00:36:10,355 --> 00:36:14,088
As we try to calm back down,
and there is our champion,

765
00:36:14,121 --> 00:36:17,488
we will hear from Oba Femi next.

766
00:36:17,521 --> 00:36:19,255
We gotta get more security out here.

767
00:36:22,904 --> 00:36:25,654
Ava, listen, I already know what
you're gonna say, all right?

768
00:36:25,688 --> 00:36:27,821
Jordynne, I wasn't even gonna yell at you.

769
00:36:27,855 --> 00:36:29,738
I just wanted to talk to you about
Heat Wave, okay?

770
00:36:29,771 --> 00:36:32,938
I know I'm still wearing the brace,
but I'm going to be cleared.

771
00:36:33,455 --> 00:36:38,154
Exactly, and that's why Heat Wave,
It'll be you and Blake Monroe one on one.

772
00:36:38,705 --> 00:36:42,055
Look, I know she's put you through
a lot over the past couple weeks,

773
00:36:42,088 --> 00:36:44,588
and I'm supposed to be unbiased, but…

774
00:36:45,154 --> 00:36:46,871
especially after what she did last week

775
00:36:47,755 --> 00:36:50,121
on behalf of me and a lot of other women,

776
00:36:50,955 --> 00:36:52,654
I think she deserves
to get her ass kicked.

777
00:36:55,171 --> 00:36:57,188
-You can count on it.
-All right.

778
00:36:58,404 --> 00:37:02,821
[Vic] Well, that is a huge announcement
for our next Premium Live event,

779
00:37:02,855 --> 00:37:03,955

please welcome the NXT Champion,

783
00:37:34,121 --> 00:37:38,038
Oba Femi.

784
00:37:38,071 --> 00:37:41,404
[Vic] Booker, there's that man.

785
00:37:41,455 --> 00:37:45,205
[Booker T] That man, Oba Femi.

786
00:37:45,238 --> 00:37:49,438
No bread, no water, just me.

787
00:37:49,471 --> 00:37:53,105
Let's hear what the champ had
to say here tonight, guys.

788
00:37:53,138 --> 00:37:56,471
[Vic] What is on the mind of the ruler,

789
00:37:56,971 --> 00:38:02,021
the destroyer, the NXT Champion, Oba Femi?

790
00:38:10,971 --> 00:38:14,955
[crowd chanting] Oba! Oba! Ooh! Ob!

791
00:38:14,988 --> 00:38:17,388
Two weeks ago in Houston,

792
00:38:17,421 --> 00:38:20,921
Yoshiki Inamura and Josh Briggs
threw every single thing

793
00:38:20,955 --> 00:38:23,021
they had at me to try to take this title.

794
00:38:24,055 --> 00:38:25,621
They failed miserably.

795
00:38:26,571 --> 00:38:32,171
So now for over 200 days,
I have carried this NXT Championship.

796
00:38:32,205 --> 00:38:35,588
Two hundred days, I've carried this brand.

797
00:38:35,621 --> 00:38:39,438
So here we are again, we're asking
the same question we asked last time.

798
00:38:40,005 --> 00:38:43,721
Who is going to step up?
Who is going to challenge?

799
00:38:43,755 --> 00:38:46,338
Who is going to come and face the ruler?

800
00:38:46,371 --> 00:38:50,471
Who is worthy enough to take this title
from me?

801
00:38:52,005 --> 00:38:54,605
But the unfortunate answer
is that no one is.

802
00:38:55,388 --> 00:38:58,971
Because NXT is supposed to be
the brand built for the future.

803
00:38:59,721 --> 00:39:03,521
Superstars of tomorrow slated
to many big PLEs

804
00:39:03,555 --> 00:39:05,521
like SummerSlam and Royal Rumble.

805
00:39:06,238 --> 00:39:08,521
But I look at this division now,

806
00:39:09,721 --> 00:39:13,021
the future is not looking very bright.

807
00:39:13,955 --> 00:39:17,555
Because I beat them all.
I stopped them all.

808
00:39:17,588 --> 00:39:20,038
I've destroyed them all.

809
00:39:20,071 --> 00:39:25,488
Because the names change,
but the result remains the same.

that Trick Williams is the biggest dog
NXT has to offer.

to convince yourself?

No, forget that, Oba. Forget that.
I'm trying to convince you.

[Vic] Well, Stacks, his opponent tonight,
just came flying from the locker room,

1000
00:48:26,021 --> 00:48:27,788
wasting no time.

1001
00:48:27,821 --> 00:48:31,288
And our official, Adrian Butler,
trying to get these two in the ring.

1002
00:48:31,321 --> 00:48:33,871
[Corey] This is what it's gonna take
to succeed these days in NXT.

1003
00:48:33,904 --> 00:48:36,271
You gotta be ruthless.
You gotta be vicious.

1004
00:48:36,305 --> 00:48:38,855
[Vic] Gotta call your own shots
like Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo's

1005
00:48:38,888 --> 00:48:41,188
-trying to do at the expense of Inamura.
-[Booker T] I love it!

1006
00:48:41,221 --> 00:48:43,371
[Vic] Trying to get some control,

1007
00:48:43,404 --> 00:48:46,404
trying to get both competitors
to their feet.

1008
00:48:46,438 --> 00:48:48,171
-Bell!
-[bell rings]

1009
00:48:52,105 --> 00:48:53,955
[Vic] Stacks. Yoshiki Inamura.

1010
00:48:53,988 --> 00:48:58,571
And, Graves, was Stacks right, though,
last week, that no family lasts forever?

1011
00:48:58,605 --> 00:49:01,888
[Corey] I hope that's truly where Stacks'
head is, because that's what it's about,

1012
00:49:01,921 --> 00:49:03,288
doing things on your own.

1013
00:49:03,321 --> 00:49:04,738
Running knee, into the cover!

1014
00:49:04,771 --> 00:49:09,071
Stacks tried, he did the best he could
as a member of The D'Angelo Family.

1015
00:49:09,105 --> 00:49:11,654
-Where did it him, Vic? Got him nowhere.
-[Vic] Nowhere.

1016
00:49:11,688 --> 00:49:13,638
[Corey] Got his Heritage Cup
chucked in the river.

1017
00:49:13,671 --> 00:49:16,855
Stacks has to stand on his own two feet,
make his own name.

1018
00:49:16,888 --> 00:49:19,738
And it could begin tonight
against a world-class,

1019
00:49:19,771 --> 00:49:22,205
top-caliber star like Yoshiki Inamura.

1020
00:49:23,055 --> 00:49:27,438
[Vic] But why does Stacks feel he needs
to give opinions to others like Yoshiki?

1021
00:49:27,471 --> 00:49:30,871
He didn't just mind his own business,
as you would say.

1022
00:49:30,904 --> 00:49:31,955
[Booker T] He's a boss, man.

1023
00:49:31,988 --> 00:49:35,254
[Vic] How is he a boss? He lost
to Tony D'Angelo in a triple threat.

1024
00:49:35,288 --> 00:49:37,838
[Booker T] Come on, that's what bosses…
Don't try to correct me.

1025
00:49:37,871 --> 00:49:39,838
That's what bosses do.

1026
00:49:41,088 --> 00:49:43,088
[Vic] I'm not trying to correct you,
I'm stating facts.

1027
00:49:43,171 --> 00:49:46,421
Right now,
Stack's in control of Yoshiki Inamura.

1028
00:49:46,455 --> 00:49:49,555
And Yoshiki certainly showed
more fire last week,

1029
00:49:49,588 --> 00:49:53,904
which led to this matchup.
Inamura, of course, who returned to NXT

1030
00:49:53,938 --> 00:49:56,338
-'cause of the NXT Universe's passion.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!

1031
00:49:56,371 --> 00:49:59,205
[Vic] And nice counterweight.
Into a cover.

1032
00:49:59,238 --> 00:50:00,671
And a kick-out.

1033
00:50:00,705 --> 00:50:02,338
Came back also for his brother, Briggs.

1034
00:50:02,371 --> 00:50:05,205
And it was Briggs who had a vicious boot

1035
00:50:05,238 --> 00:50:07,338
at the Great American Bash
after a triple threat.

1036
00:50:07,371 --> 00:50:09,205
[Corey] You just answered
your own question.

1037
00:50:09,238 --> 00:50:11,154
Wow! What a forearm by Stacks.

1038
00:50:11,238 --> 00:50:13,588
This game is about checks
and championships,

1039
00:50:13,671 --> 00:50:15,888
not about family, not about brothers,

1040
00:50:15,971 --> 00:50:19,721
sisters, aunts, uncles, in-laws,
it doesn't matter.

1041
00:50:19,805 --> 00:50:22,004
It's about what you do from bell to bell.

1042
00:50:22,088 --> 00:50:24,621
How much money you can make
and how many titles you can win.

1043
00:50:24,654 --> 00:50:26,521
[Booker] You talking
about brother, Inamura

1044
00:50:26,705 --> 00:50:31,705
is finding out the hard way that
you cannot trust anyone in this business.

1045
00:50:31,738 --> 00:50:37,705
[Vic] Stacks now just mocking Yoshiki
Inamura from the top rope perch.

1046
00:50:37,955 --> 00:50:41,121
Uh-oh! Mock him at your own peril.

1047
00:50:41,955 --> 00:50:46,221
And now Yoshiki, who, remember,
got jumped from behind before the bell

1048
00:50:46,305 --> 00:50:49,805
finally has his feet underneath him,
weathered the early storm.

1049
00:50:49,888 --> 00:50:52,705
-And now he's unleashing!
-[Booker] Oh, baby!

1050
00:50:52,738 --> 00:50:54,254
Sumo style!

1051
00:50:54,288 --> 00:50:56,871
[Booker] Oh, yeah! Big shot.

1052
00:50:57,088 --> 00:51:00,654
[Corey] E. Honda, like that 100-hand slap.

1053
00:51:00,688 --> 00:51:02,355
[Vic] Look at this combination.

1054
00:51:02,438 --> 00:51:05,188
Stacks hasn't won any of that,
get out there, young man.

1055
00:51:05,221 --> 00:51:07,538
-[Booker] That's right…
-[Vic] Oh, baby!

1056
00:51:07,571 --> 00:51:09,105
[Booker] Buy you some time.

1057
00:51:09,754 --> 00:51:12,471
[Vic] Stacks trying to get
the hell out of Dodge.

1058
00:51:17,771 --> 00:51:19,971
[Booker] Inamura is up…

1059
00:51:20,004 --> 00:51:21,888
[Vic] I said he was showing more fire.

1060
00:51:22,305 --> 00:51:25,971
… outside and, oh,
that's one way to counter anything.

1061
00:51:26,055 --> 00:51:28,455
Stacks. He's also not in a good mood.

1062
00:51:28,538 --> 00:51:30,921
…punk. Who do you think you are?

1063
00:51:31,404 --> 00:51:33,071
-Who do you think you are?
-[referee] Two!

1064
00:51:34,071 --> 00:51:38,221
[Corey laughing] He might have just
slapped him back to the D'Angelo family.

1065
00:51:38,738 --> 00:51:42,504
What are you doing? What's your problem?
You gave him…

1066
00:51:43,754 --> 00:51:46,805
-Oh, that's got to be a…
-[Vic] Added grace to it.

1067
00:51:46,838 --> 00:51:49,705
You, get back in the ring.

1068
00:51:49,738 --> 00:51:51,254
You, get out of here!

1069
00:51:52,121 --> 00:51:55,288
[Vic] The referee is showing
some discretion in this moment.

1070
00:51:55,371 --> 00:51:57,571
[Corey] … from behind!
Turn around Yoshiki.

1071
00:51:58,071 --> 00:51:59,138
[Vic] Josh Briggs!

1072
00:52:00,688 --> 00:52:03,421
Just like at the Great American Bash.

1073
00:52:03,504 --> 00:52:07,754
Dropping Inamura,
the official didn't see it and Stacks

1074
00:52:07,838 --> 00:52:11,221
is going to slither away with a victory.

1075
00:52:11,305 --> 00:52:13,788
[Mike] Here is your winner,

1076
00:52:13,871 --> 00:52:17,605
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo!

1077
00:52:18,488 --> 00:52:20,321
[Vic] In the words of Booker T,

1078
00:52:20,404 --> 00:52:21,355
what the hell?

1079
00:52:21,738 --> 00:52:23,121
[Booker cackles]

1080
00:52:23,154 --> 00:52:26,254
[Corey] I don't know that I've ever seen
Arianna gloat quite like that.

1081
00:52:31,688 --> 00:52:36,438
Well, there is the North
American Champion, Ethan Page.

1082
00:52:36,521 --> 00:52:40,004
We hear from this Canadian hero, next.

1083
00:52:46,888 --> 00:52:50,038
Ladies and gentlemen,
today marks the 70th day

1084
00:52:50,105 --> 00:52:53,238
as the greatest North American
Champion of all time.

1085
00:52:54,855 --> 00:53:00,088
And last week, last week
was a pure demonstration

1086
00:53:00,171 --> 00:53:04,371
in the Canadian standard of excellence.

1087
00:53:05,338 --> 00:53:06,821
[crowd booing]

1088
00:53:06,855 --> 00:53:09,488
Now I would like to give credit
where credit is due.

1089
00:53:10,221 --> 00:53:14,038
Even with that vile reptilian sock

1090
00:53:14,688 --> 00:53:20,771
and his best effort, Santino Marella
was just not able to get the job done.

1091
00:53:21,754 --> 00:53:23,071
But,

1092
00:53:24,121 --> 00:53:25,588
a positive note.

1093
00:53:25,671 --> 00:53:31,955
Santino Marella is still Canadian,
and that makes him better than all of you.

1094
00:53:32,805 --> 00:53:34,254
[crowd booing]

1095
00:53:35,471 --> 00:53:40,471
But he is just Canadian, not the greatest

1096
00:53:40,555 --> 00:53:43,638
North American alive, like me.

1097
00:53:43,688 --> 00:53:45,404
[crowd chanting] Shut the hell up!

1098
00:53:45,438 --> 00:53:51,605
Now, in the pantheon of great Canadians,
you've got men like Alexander Graham Bell.

1099
00:53:52,754 --> 00:53:58,154
You've got men like Wayne Gretzky,
you've got men like the best

1100
00:53:58,238 --> 00:54:01,455
there was Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

1101
00:54:01,538 --> 00:54:05,071
But at the top of that list
in the number one spot

1102
00:54:05,154 --> 00:54:07,371
is the greatest Canadian of all time.

1103
00:54:09,805 --> 00:54:10,754
All ego,

1104
00:54:11,338 --> 00:54:13,338
Ethan Page.

1105
00:54:14,254 --> 00:54:15,938
[crowd booing]

1106
00:54:18,521 --> 00:54:22,021
Hold on. Let me open this thing up
so you can see how beautiful it is.

1107
00:54:25,138 --> 00:54:26,055
So.

1108
00:54:26,754 --> 00:54:33,754
Before your Champion decides
which continent I will devour next,

1109
00:54:33,788 --> 00:54:36,288
I'd like to celebrate last week.

1110
00:54:37,205 --> 00:54:43,488
I would like to ask all of you
to respectfully stand as your Champion

1111
00:54:44,088 --> 00:54:47,538
sings the Canadian national anthem.

1112
00:54:48,338 --> 00:54:50,254
-[Corey] Come on, fellas--
-[Vic] Graves, sit down.

1113
00:54:50,288 --> 00:54:51,421
Sit…

1114
00:54:52,271 --> 00:54:53,188
What…

1115
00:54:55,688 --> 00:54:56,921
[Corey] We're really doing this?

1116
00:54:56,955 --> 00:55:00,654
[sings off key] Oh, Canada…

1117
00:55:02,221 --> 00:55:03,921
[music playing]

1118
00:55:03,955 --> 00:55:05,288
[Tavion] Evening.

1119
00:55:05,321 --> 00:55:07,705
-[Vic] Whoa!
-[Tavion] Evening.

1120
00:55:08,721 --> 00:55:11,321
You can chill with all of that.

1121
00:55:11,788 --> 00:55:17,788
Didn't nobody tune into NXT tonight
to hear what sounds like a Canadian goose

1122
00:55:17,871 --> 00:55:18,788
dying.

1123
00:55:22,404 --> 00:55:24,421
Hey, I see you out here.

1124
00:55:24,504 --> 00:55:25,771
You repping your country.

1125
00:55:25,855 --> 00:55:26,955
That's cool, bro.

1126
00:55:27,038 --> 00:55:28,188
I can respect that.

1127
00:55:28,871 --> 00:55:30,904
As matter of fact, I can relate

1128
00:55:33,121 --> 00:55:35,638
because I represented Team USA

1129
00:55:35,671 --> 00:55:37,305
at the Olympic Games myself.

1130
00:55:39,521 --> 00:55:40,355
[crowd cheering]

1131
00:55:40,805 --> 00:55:42,105
[crowd chanting] USA! USA!

1132
00:55:42,138 --> 00:55:44,371
But the difference
between me and you, Ethan,

1133
00:55:46,321 --> 00:55:49,538
is you're out here acting like
you're on some kind of a pedestal.

1134
00:55:49,621 --> 00:55:54,521
When in reality, seems like to me,
you need to be knocked off that maple leaf

1135
00:55:54,605 --> 00:55:56,254
sucking perch you're standing on.

1136
00:55:59,371 --> 00:56:00,404
Now, it's true.

1137
00:56:00,488 --> 00:56:01,404
It's true.

1138
00:56:01,488 --> 00:56:03,338
I just broke out of NQCC.

1139
00:56:04,171 --> 00:56:07,588
But I know it's time for me
to break out on the scene here at NXT.

1140
00:56:08,904 --> 00:56:14,105
And, you know, just as well as I know,
Ethan, I'm a weapon in human form.

1141
00:56:16,071 --> 00:56:18,271
And now, you see, I just got to figure out

1142
00:56:18,355 --> 00:56:20,971
where I'm gonna direct
all this pent up energy, dawg.

1143
00:56:21,055 --> 00:56:22,105
And unfortunately,

1144
00:56:23,121 --> 00:56:24,388
that's looking like you.

1145
00:56:24,471 --> 00:56:28,838
Whoa, whoa, no, no.

1146
00:56:30,305 --> 00:56:32,904
Listen, Tavion, I will give you credit.

1147
00:56:33,488 --> 00:56:36,571
You just crawled your way out of NQCC.

1148
00:56:37,221 --> 00:56:39,721
So please do me a favor.

1149
00:56:39,754 --> 00:56:40,738
[crowd chanting] Yes! Yes!

1150
00:56:40,771 --> 00:56:45,888
Learn how to walk, then learn
how to run before you try and

1151
00:56:46,105 --> 00:56:47,721
[crowd] Shut the hell up, Ethan!

1152
00:56:47,754 --> 00:56:49,938
dance with all ego, buddy.

1153
00:56:51,154 --> 00:56:53,921
You think you're funny, Ethan, huh?
You got dance moves?

1154
00:56:55,588 --> 00:56:56,805
Well, guess what, buddy?

1155
00:56:56,888 --> 00:56:58,338
You got another thing coming.

1156
00:56:58,371 --> 00:56:59,805
Whoa, I've got nothing with you.

1157
00:57:00,371 --> 00:57:03,504
Pledge your allegiance to Chelsea Green.

1158
00:57:03,555 --> 00:57:05,105
-[Vic] Oh, my God.
-[Corey] Oh, no.

1159
00:57:05,138 --> 00:57:07,021
[Vic] Oh, my God, guys,
you got to stand up now!

1160
00:57:07,105 --> 00:57:09,671
-[Corey] I don't have to stand up.
-[Vic] Hands on your hearts.

1161
00:57:09,721 --> 00:57:11,371
-[Corey] What are you do--
-[Vic] Hurry up!

1162
00:57:12,254 --> 00:57:13,371
[Corey] Put your hand down!

1163
00:57:15,055 --> 00:57:17,705
I haven't seen you sweat this much.
Are you all right?

1164
00:57:19,138 --> 00:57:21,605
-[Vic] Well, proud patriots.
-[Corey] Stop saluting!

1165
00:57:24,538 --> 00:57:25,788
Tavion, was it?

1166
00:57:26,705 --> 00:57:28,238
How dare you

1167
00:57:28,321 --> 00:57:31,388
of all people,
interrupt the greatest North American

1168
00:57:31,471 --> 00:57:35,055
to ever hold
the North American Championship?

1169
00:57:37,904 --> 00:57:42,121
This man inspires
millions of Canucks daily.

1170
00:57:42,205 --> 00:57:45,088
That, my friend,
is Canadian for Canadians

1171
00:57:45,171 --> 00:57:46,088
if you didn't know.

1172
00:57:47,504 --> 00:57:54,388
I heard that one time he fought
off a moose and the moose apologized.

1173
00:57:55,955 --> 00:57:57,188
You know what they say.

1174
00:57:57,871 --> 00:58:00,605
The best American heroes come from Canada.

1175
00:58:02,088 --> 00:58:02,921
[crowd booing]

1176
00:58:07,021 --> 00:58:09,771
Anyways, T, moral of the story,

1177
00:58:14,305 --> 00:58:20,355
is that Ethan Page is the model Canadian,
second only to moi.

1178
00:58:20,438 --> 00:58:23,288
That's French Canadian
for "me", if you didn't know.

1179
00:58:25,221 --> 00:58:26,305
Spoiler alert.

1180
00:58:26,388 --> 00:58:28,838
Your first ever, longest reigning,
most dangerous United States

1181
00:58:28,921 --> 00:58:31,338
Women's Champion is a proud Canadian.

1182
00:58:32,455 --> 00:58:33,288
[crowd cheering]

1183
00:58:35,855 --> 00:58:38,888
And I came out here
to support my countrymen

1184
00:58:38,971 --> 00:58:45,038
and sing the national anthem
until you, rude,

1185
00:58:45,121 --> 00:58:47,821
ignorant American ruined it.

1186
00:58:51,421 --> 00:58:53,871
You're so cute when you're angry, T.

1187
00:58:53,904 --> 00:58:55,438
[crowd] That's too much!

1188
00:58:56,254 --> 00:59:00,188
I would say it's a good thing that I have
my secret hervice here to protect me.

1189
00:59:00,254 --> 00:59:01,605
But let's be honest.

1190
00:59:01,688 --> 00:59:06,004
Even a low life,
trashy American like yourself

1191
00:59:06,088 --> 00:59:10,605
would never have the balls
to hit a woman like me.

1192
00:59:11,771 --> 00:59:13,471
Nah. You're right.

1193
00:59:14,205 --> 00:59:15,121
I wouldn't.

1194
00:59:18,154 --> 00:59:20,521
[Corey] Tavion Heights
just struck a man with glasses.

1195
00:59:20,555 --> 00:59:21,888
I'll find the woman who will.

1196
00:59:24,105 --> 00:59:25,488
[Vic] And I'm sure he will.

1197
00:59:26,671 --> 00:59:28,855
Tavion Heights means business.

1198
00:59:28,888 --> 00:59:30,754
[Corey] This xenophobia is unacceptable.

1199
00:59:31,605 --> 00:59:34,355
So anyways, I cannot believe
she ran out the ring like that.

1200
00:59:34,438 --> 00:59:36,305
Honestly, she's lucky that she ran away.

1201
00:59:36,388 --> 00:59:38,371
That's okay.
You looked good out there, Kelani.

1202
00:59:38,455 --> 00:59:40,688
Thanks, girl.
I mean, I guess a win is a win.

1203
00:59:40,771 --> 00:59:42,838
But Blake is Jordynne's problem now.

1204
00:59:44,071 --> 00:59:46,388
What a fantastic, career-making
count-out win

1205
00:59:46,471 --> 00:59:48,188
you got there, Kelani.

1206
00:59:48,688 --> 00:59:52,421
I bet she also thinks that makes her a
contender for my NXT Women's championship.

1207
00:59:52,504 --> 00:59:55,404
Why don't you two follow
in Blake's footsteps and run away?

1208
00:59:57,288 --> 00:59:58,321
From who?

1209
00:59:58,404 --> 01:00:01,371
Let me guess, the most dysfunctional team
in the locker room.

1210
01:00:01,455 --> 01:00:05,038
Oh, you mean the same team that beat you
for that North American Championship?

1211
01:00:05,071 --> 01:00:06,771
-Well, one of us did.
-Exactly. Exactly.

1212
01:00:07,805 --> 01:00:10,004
-What's going on?
-Finally. And nothing.

1213
01:00:10,038 --> 01:00:13,855
Just two delusional women reaching
for things that they'll never have.

1214
01:00:13,888 --> 01:00:15,771
-[laughing]
-Of course they are.

1215
01:00:15,805 --> 01:00:19,371
How dare you to step to Jacy,
the double champion,

1216
01:00:19,404 --> 01:00:21,654
-the leader of the Women's Division…
-That's right.

1217
01:00:21,688 --> 01:00:22,888
…and her sidekick?

1218
01:00:22,921 --> 01:00:25,504
While I was out shining the titles,
I was talking to Ava

1219
01:00:25,538 --> 01:00:27,921
and I got you two a Tag Team Match
next week.

1220
01:00:27,955 --> 01:00:28,838
-What?
-Huh?

1221
01:00:28,871 --> 01:00:32,021
Yeah, I guess I'll hit her up
and let her know I found your opponents.

1222
01:00:32,788 --> 01:00:33,771
-Thanks, Jaz.
-What?

1223
01:00:33,805 --> 01:00:35,971
-See you next week.
-Did she just call me a sidekick?

1224
01:00:36,004 --> 01:00:37,171
-Yep, she did.
-What is going--

1225
01:00:37,205 --> 01:00:42,321
Izzi or Niko, or that creep Spears,
I will handle it.

1226
01:00:42,355 --> 01:00:44,638
You just focus on Tatum.
I've got the rest.

1227
01:00:44,671 --> 01:00:46,555
You're hyped up
like you're about to have a match.

1228
01:00:46,588 --> 01:00:48,355
-Yeah, well, I don't want Tatum--
-[clattering]

1229
01:00:48,388 --> 01:00:50,355
[indistinct shouting]

1230
01:00:50,388 --> 01:00:52,404
-Sick of you!
-[both grunting]

1231
01:00:52,438 --> 01:00:55,038
-[security] Hey!
-[indistinct shouting]

1232
01:00:55,071 --> 01:00:57,254
No! Get off of me!

1233
01:00:57,288 --> 01:01:00,021
-I'm sick of you!
-What are you doing?

1234
01:01:00,055 --> 01:01:03,721
What are-- Listen! If you two
want each other so bad, fine!

1235
01:01:03,754 --> 01:01:06,588
You two, one-on-one,
next week. This is done.

1236
01:01:06,621 --> 01:01:10,571
-Good! 'Cause I'm tired of you!
-[indistinct shouting]

1237
01:01:13,921 --> 01:01:15,638
-No, you're not. I'm gonna get my--
-No, no.

1238
01:01:15,671 --> 01:01:17,521
I'm sorry. Why the hell are you so quiet?

1239
01:01:17,555 --> 01:01:19,988
-You know he don't want that smoke.
-He always runs for a fight.

1240
01:01:20,021 --> 01:01:22,305
-No, but--
-All right, all four of you are in here.

1241
01:01:22,338 --> 01:01:25,355
-Why?
-Please, give me a match with those guys.

1242
01:01:25,388 --> 01:01:27,805
Okay. Okay. All right.
Here's what's gonna happen.

1243
01:01:27,838 --> 01:01:31,455
In Philly in two weeks, Trick and Je'Von,
you two are gonna go one-on-one.

1244
01:01:31,488 --> 01:01:33,071
-Winner gets Oba at Heatwave.
-[laughs]

1245
01:01:33,105 --> 01:01:34,321
-That's fair.
-Perfect.

1246
01:01:34,355 --> 01:01:37,605
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
but why are we waiting two weeks to, like…

1247
01:01:37,638 --> 01:01:41,404
Because, next week, all four of you are
gonna take on Darkstate in an 8-man tag.

1248
01:01:41,438 --> 01:01:43,605
-[knock on door]
-Come in!

1249
01:01:43,638 --> 01:01:46,071
-We want Darkstate next week!
-Oh, God, okay, all right!

1250
01:01:46,105 --> 01:01:47,904
No, no, we have Darkstate next week.

1251
01:01:47,938 --> 01:01:51,271
No. This is the last time they attack
without retaliation. This can't fly, boss!

1252
01:01:51,305 --> 01:01:53,571
Yeah, you know what?
They started it, we're gonna finish it!

1253
01:01:53,605 --> 01:01:56,154
Hey! Here's what you're gonna do.

1254
01:01:56,188 --> 01:01:58,488
At Heatwave, you can have
two members of Darkstate,

1255
01:01:58,521 --> 01:02:00,288
the challenge for those titles.

1256
01:02:00,321 --> 01:02:02,738
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a show to run,

1257
01:02:02,771 --> 01:02:03,888
so everybody out.

1258
01:02:04,654 --> 01:02:06,605
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

1259
01:02:06,638 --> 01:02:10,038
-[arguing indistinctly]
-Good day. Good day.

1260
01:02:11,971 --> 01:02:16,605
Ricky Saints, you have had quite the
crazy run since your debut in February.

1261
01:02:16,638 --> 01:02:20,105
You won the North American title,
then, unfortunately, you were injured,

1262
01:02:20,138 --> 01:02:23,571
and now it seems like Jasper Troy
really has it out for you.

1263
01:02:23,605 --> 01:02:26,654
So, do you feel like
you have a target on your back?

1264
01:02:26,688 --> 01:02:28,254
Absolutely, absolutely.

1265
01:02:28,288 --> 01:02:31,271
I came into NXT actually
with a target on my back

1266
01:02:31,305 --> 01:02:34,588
because of the hype that I had
behind my name.

1267
01:02:34,621 --> 01:02:37,038
And rightfully so. I earned all of that.

1268
01:02:37,071 --> 01:02:39,455
But I also wanted to point out too,
it's not just the target.

1269
01:02:39,488 --> 01:02:41,038
It's about jealousy as well.

1270
01:02:41,071 --> 01:02:46,021
Somebody like Ethan Page, who is jealous
of who I am and what I've done.

1271
01:02:46,055 --> 01:02:47,821
And then you have
somebody like Jasper Troy

1272
01:02:47,855 --> 01:02:50,254
that is trying to get to where I'm at.

1273
01:02:50,738 --> 01:02:55,421
So, to be kind of in between
these two, yes, absolutely.

1274
01:02:55,455 --> 01:02:58,538
A target is…
It's more than that, you know?

1275
01:02:59,771 --> 01:03:03,271
But it also kind of shows me
that there are different agendas,

1276
01:03:03,305 --> 01:03:05,071
but the same goal for people.

1277
01:03:05,105 --> 01:03:07,371
Can you elaborate on that a little bit?

1278
01:03:07,938 --> 01:03:09,738
Let's take Ethan Page, for example.

1279
01:03:10,138 --> 01:03:11,455
Eighteen years of experience.

1280
01:03:11,488 --> 01:03:14,855
He understands that NXT
is where he needs to be

1281
01:03:14,888 --> 01:03:16,988
to get to where he wants to go.

1282
01:03:17,721 --> 01:03:20,404
And so, to do that, he has a plan.

1283
01:03:20,438 --> 01:03:23,688
To do that,
he will do anything to get there.

1284
01:03:24,438 --> 01:03:26,238
You could say that he is, what, desperate.

1285
01:03:26,838 --> 01:03:31,038
But then, on the flip side, you've got
Jasper Troy. He's young, he's angry.

1286
01:03:31,071 --> 01:03:33,921
He has all this rage,
but he's inexperienced.

1287
01:03:34,471 --> 01:03:37,871
He doesn't really understand
what his plan is yet.

1288
01:03:38,404 --> 01:03:41,738
-He is just kind of making his way. Right?
-Mm.

1289
01:03:42,705 --> 01:03:46,588
So it's kind of like a paradox, because
you can't prepare yourself for that.

1290
01:03:47,638 --> 01:03:49,138
And you find that frustrating?

1291
01:03:49,771 --> 01:03:50,638
No.

1292
01:03:51,271 --> 01:03:55,338
Everyone is striving to be
on a Monday night or a Friday night.

1293
01:03:55,771 --> 01:03:58,838
Ricky is already going to be doing that.

1294
01:03:58,871 --> 01:04:00,838
And I'm gonna be doing that
in the most absolute way.

1295
01:04:00,871 --> 01:04:03,338
But on my road to that,

1296
01:04:03,738 --> 01:04:06,738
I definitely want to be NXT Champion.

1297
01:04:06,771 --> 01:04:09,138
And right now, Jasper Troy is in my way.

1298
01:04:09,171 --> 01:04:12,754
And last time you saw me,
Jasper Troy beat me by a countout, yes.

1299
01:04:12,788 --> 01:04:16,355
But what you didn't see
is the reserved part of Ricky,

1300
01:04:16,388 --> 01:04:18,805
the part I've been kind of holding back.

1301
01:04:18,838 --> 01:04:22,438
And I want everyone here
to understand one thing, this promise.

1302
01:04:23,138 --> 01:04:27,938
Jasper Troy, in two weeks
in Philadelphia, I'm promising you this.

1303
01:04:28,521 --> 01:04:31,288
If you thought Houston
was just an easy thing for you,

1304
01:04:31,321 --> 01:04:33,588
oh, my man, it gets way worse for you.

1305
01:04:34,205 --> 01:04:36,038
Because I'm absolutely guaranteeing

1306
01:04:36,071 --> 01:04:38,338
things ain't gonna end up
how they did before.

1307
01:04:39,805 --> 01:04:42,871
Well, uh, Ricky, I wish you
all of the luck in the world.

1308
01:04:43,421 --> 01:04:45,271
-Thank you.
-And thank you for your time today.

1309
01:04:47,705 --> 01:04:50,588
[Vic] It looks like the Revolution
is headed to Philadelphia,

1310
01:04:50,621 --> 01:04:53,188
but this from the desk
of our general manager,

1311
01:04:53,221 --> 01:04:57,055
Last Legend will go one-on-one
with Nia Jax.

1312
01:04:57,088 --> 01:04:58,588
What a showdown!

1313
01:04:58,621 --> 01:05:02,988
This is going to be live next week
here on NXT.

1314
01:05:03,021 --> 01:05:06,404
[Corey] And we're gonna want to
reinforce the ring for this one.

1315
01:05:06,438 --> 01:05:08,871
Per our general manager, Ava,

1316
01:05:08,904 --> 01:05:13,171
Darkstate will battle the team
of Oba Femi, Trick Williams,

1317
01:05:13,205 --> 01:05:19,571
Je'Von Evans and TNA Wrestling Moose
in an 8-man Tag Team Match.

1318
01:05:19,605 --> 01:05:22,038
[Vic] And after everything
that has happened here tonight,

1319
01:05:22,071 --> 01:05:27,538
Jazmyn Nyx did indeed find Fatal Influence
a Tag Team Match for next week.

1320
01:05:27,571 --> 01:05:30,371
Kelani Jordan will team with Lola Vice

live next Tuesday here on NXT.

1323
01:05:40,355 --> 01:05:44,971
Double champion, that is if Jacy Jayne
can survive this Thursday.

makes her way to the ring

1327
01:06:12,388 --> 01:06:15,404
with the rest of Culling
following behind her,

1328
01:06:15,438 --> 01:06:18,521
can Paxley bring them gold once more?

1329
01:06:18,555 --> 01:06:21,988
Women's North American Championship

1330
01:06:22,021 --> 01:06:25,055

to face Oba Femi for the NXT Championship.

1336

he is bringing the Revolution
to the city of Brotherly Love.

1340

the monstrous Jasper Troy.

Tatum Paxley!

she is the NXT Women's

Sol Ruca!

1359
01:09:00,038 --> 01:09:01,788
[Vic] Booker, you and I
have talked about this.

1360
01:09:01,821 --> 01:09:05,788
But, Graves, I want to come to you,
because it's been a very busy summer…

1361
01:09:05,821 --> 01:09:06,838
[crowd chanting] Sol! Sol!

1362
01:09:06,871 --> 01:09:10,471
[Vic] …for Sol Ruca. Do you believe
that she's, and I hate to say it,

1363
01:09:10,505 --> 01:09:12,854
maybe taking on too much?

1364
01:09:12,888 --> 01:09:14,488
[Corey] There have been moments
where I fear

1365
01:09:14,521 --> 01:09:16,154
that might be the case for Sol Ruca,

1366
01:09:16,188 --> 01:09:20,255
but I also think she may be that rare type
of competitor who thrives under pressure,

1367
01:09:20,288 --> 01:09:23,438
and the more pressure Sol Ruca can find,
the better she gets.

1368
01:09:23,471 --> 01:09:27,288
This is a woman who meets the moment
every time the bell rings,

1369
01:09:27,321 --> 01:09:29,338
and is showing no signs of slowing down.

1370
01:09:29,371 --> 01:09:31,238
[Vic] Interesting stat,
coming into this match-up,

1371
01:09:31,271 --> 01:09:35,288
Sol Ruca, this year,
fourth most wins at 14 in the WWE.

1372
01:09:35,321 --> 01:09:39,705
She's trailing Jey Uso, LA Knight
and Stephanie Vaquer.

1373
01:09:39,738 --> 01:09:42,671
Booker, what is the strategy for Sol Ruca

1374
01:09:42,705 --> 01:09:46,288
here tonight against a former,
well, friend in Tatum Paxley?

1375
01:09:46,321 --> 01:09:49,738
[Booker T] I can tell you what
the strategy is, but Sol Ruca better not--

1376
01:09:49,771 --> 01:09:51,304
-[Vic] Cover!
-[Booker T] Hold on.

1377
01:09:51,338 --> 01:09:54,888
Better not have one lapse of focus
in this match-up tonight,

1378
01:09:54,921 --> 01:09:58,154
because this could be
a major, major upset, guys.

Tatum two-face! Tatum two-face!

[Vic] Sol Ruca, 107 days as champion.

1381
01:10:07,471 --> 01:10:10,671
[Corey] And this unique submission
being executed by Paxley.

1382
01:10:11,554 --> 01:10:12,938
[Vic] Paxley doing a nice job also

1383
01:10:12,971 --> 01:10:15,221
keeping her shoulders off the mat.
Great job by--

1384
01:10:15,255 --> 01:10:17,705
-[Booker T] Wait a minute, guys.
-[Vic] I spoke too soon.

1385
01:10:17,755 --> 01:10:19,905
Getting her shoulders up that time.
Big right hand

1386
01:10:19,938 --> 01:10:22,355
from the champion,
who's trying to turn things right around

1387
01:10:22,388 --> 01:10:24,038
into a submission maybe of her own.

1388
01:10:24,071 --> 01:10:27,221
And, Booker,
in regards to Ruca and Tatum as friends,

1389
01:10:27,255 --> 01:10:30,238
is she getting a true lesson in DTA?

1390
01:10:30,271 --> 01:10:33,471
[Booker T] Don't trust anyone. That's what
it's all about. Let me tell you right now.

1391
01:10:33,505 --> 01:10:35,271
-[Vic] Whoa.
-[Booker T] The odds

1392
01:10:35,304 --> 01:10:37,938
are in the favor of Tatum Paxley

1393
01:10:37,971 --> 01:10:40,355
with The Culling being out here.
That's just my opinion.

1394
01:10:41,105 --> 01:10:43,755
[Vic] Well, the wave's
starting to go here with Sol Ruca,

1395
01:10:43,788 --> 01:10:45,938
who's been riding a wave of momentum

1396
01:10:45,971 --> 01:10:48,105
-since she arrived in--
-[Corey] Bam!

1397
01:10:48,138 --> 01:10:50,321
[Vic] Big dropkick. Wow.

1398
01:10:52,355 --> 01:10:56,621
And Ruca now measuring, charging.

1399
01:10:56,655 --> 01:10:58,371
Nice counter there by the challenger.

1400
01:10:59,554 --> 01:11:03,271
Paxley… Ooh, able to block it once.
And now, Sol looking on.

1401
01:11:03,304 --> 01:11:07,971
-And, oh! X marks the spot.
-[Booker T] Perfect.

1402
01:11:08,005 --> 01:11:11,671
-Perfect precision.
-[Vic] Why not go for the cover, Graves?

1403
01:11:11,705 --> 01:11:13,005
And Shawn Spears.

1404
01:11:15,205 --> 01:11:16,405
And look. Zaria.

1405
01:11:16,438 --> 01:11:19,521
The Culling, though,
outnumbering Zaria on the outside.

1406
01:11:20,855 --> 01:11:24,255
Really? Really? Get your ass
out of my face. How about that?

1407
01:11:25,371 --> 01:11:28,988
[Vic] Wait, wait, wait, wait, watch Sol.
Sol just wiped out The Culling.

1408
01:11:29,955 --> 01:11:32,088
Can Sol remain champion?

1409
01:11:33,538 --> 01:11:36,938
-Who's walking out with the title?
-[crowd chanting "NXT"]

1410
01:11:40,905 --> 01:11:43,188
[Vic] Sol Ruca's done her best
to weather the storm.

1411
01:11:43,221 --> 01:11:47,455
Tatum Paxley's been able to stay
on top of the champion for the most part.

1412
01:11:47,488 --> 01:11:50,804
And, Booker, you know as well as I do,
Tatum Paxley has been obsessed

1413
01:11:50,838 --> 01:11:55,288
with two things over the last year,
friendships and championships.

1414
01:11:55,321 --> 01:11:57,321
-Into the cover, hook of the leg.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby.

1415
01:11:57,355 --> 01:12:00,838
[Vic] She came damn close
to putting gold around her waist.

1416
01:12:00,871 --> 01:12:03,955
What a match this has been, Graves,
and it's been all Tatum Paxley.

1417
01:12:03,988 --> 01:12:06,021
[Corey] Sol Ruca
understanding the assignment,

1418
01:12:06,054 --> 01:12:09,638
leaving it all on the outside of the ring,
taking out The Culling.

1419
01:12:09,671 --> 01:12:11,488
But Paxley would capitalize

1420
01:12:11,521 --> 01:12:13,554
with a neckbreaker across the middle rope,

1421
01:12:13,588 --> 01:12:14,605
which actually I believe

1422
01:12:14,638 --> 01:12:17,371
might have affected Ruca's lower back
worse than her neck.

1423
01:12:17,405 --> 01:12:20,538
Either way, very dangerous,
very effective from the challenger.

1424
01:12:20,571 --> 01:12:22,605
[Vic] Paxley, who pinned Zaria in Houston…

1425
01:12:22,638 --> 01:12:24,588
And last week,
Izzi brought up a fair point

1426
01:12:24,621 --> 01:12:26,038
that Tatum didn't pin the champion.

1427
01:12:26,071 --> 01:12:28,621
Nonetheless, Izzi Dame who was
stunned in the moment,

1428
01:12:28,655 --> 01:12:29,755
it is what it is.

1429
01:12:29,788 --> 01:12:32,438
She is here showing support
with the rest of The Culling,

1430
01:12:32,471 --> 01:12:36,705
because gold could be coming back home,
courtesy of Tatum Paxley.

1431
01:12:36,738 --> 01:12:38,171
And you just see the look

1432
01:12:38,205 --> 01:12:41,321
-of pain on the face of the champion.
-[Booker T] That's what I'm talking about.

1433
01:12:41,355 --> 01:12:44,755
Tatum Paxley right there,
she's very unorthodox.

1434
01:12:44,788 --> 01:12:46,688
Right here, got Sol Ruca

1435
01:12:46,721 --> 01:12:49,071
-in a bad position. -[Vic] The champion,

1436
01:12:49,105 --> 01:12:50,505
trying her best to counter.

1437
01:12:50,538 --> 01:12:53,771
[Corey] Paxley, unable to hook the leg
of the champion in that submission,

1438
01:12:53,804 --> 01:12:56,421
which is what allowed Sol
to escape and perhaps

1439
01:12:56,455 --> 01:12:58,321
-turn the tides in this one.
-[Vic] Whoa.

1440
01:12:58,355 --> 01:13:00,371
That DDT counter, with a nice cartwheel.

1441
01:13:00,405 --> 01:13:03,304
And this is what you were
talking about, Graves, just the ability

1442
01:13:03,338 --> 01:13:07,804
to have a counter for a counter, with just
natural, God-given athleticism.

1443
01:13:08,321 --> 01:13:11,088
[Corey] Sol Ruca brings to the table
night after night.

1444
01:13:11,121 --> 01:13:14,605
-Big time kick by the champion.
-[Vic] Nice combination offense.

1445
01:13:14,638 --> 01:13:18,071
Who will be champion in Philadelphia
in two weeks on August 19th?

1446
01:13:18,105 --> 01:13:20,755
Or for that matter, our next
premium live event, WWE Heatwave

in Lowell on August the 24th.

Right now, it looks like
it's going to be Sol Ruca

1449
01:13:25,338 --> 01:13:26,938
charging right back through.

1450
01:13:26,971 --> 01:13:29,288
-Bam! Superkick under the jaw.
-[Booker T] Wow.

1451
01:13:29,321 --> 01:13:30,771
[Vic] Paxley's rocked.

1452
01:13:30,804 --> 01:13:32,304
Tatum coming back in.

1453
01:13:32,338 --> 01:13:36,088
Big, rude-awakening-type neckbreaker
from Sol.

1454
01:13:38,505 --> 01:13:41,605
And Ruca now, measuring the challenger.

1455
01:13:41,638 --> 01:13:43,304
Bam! Charging in.

1456
01:13:44,355 --> 01:13:45,255
Hoisting up.

1457
01:13:46,221 --> 01:13:47,905
-[Corey] Oh!
-[Vic] Backpack style.

1458
01:13:47,938 --> 01:13:50,838
-Is it going to be enough?
-[Booker T] Oh, baby.

1459
01:13:51,971 --> 01:13:54,138
[Vic] Kick-out by Tatum Paxley,
as this matchup--

1460
01:13:54,171 --> 01:13:55,905
-[Corey] Oh!
-[Vic] Big knee.

1461
01:13:55,938 --> 01:13:57,971
[Corey] There was
some heat behind that one.

1462
01:13:58,005 --> 01:14:01,455
[Booker T] What a combination
by Sol Ruca, guys.

1463
01:14:02,888 --> 01:14:05,921
[Vic] Ruca continues
to add wrinkles to her repertoire,

1464
01:14:05,955 --> 01:14:08,738
as we talk about all the time, folks,
how important it is.

1465
01:14:08,771 --> 01:14:10,621
-But so has Paxley.
-[Booker T] Wow.

1466
01:14:10,655 --> 01:14:14,871
[Vic] Tatum Paxley used the apron
to help her step up into that Enzugiri.

1467
01:14:14,905 --> 01:14:17,838
-And now, Moonsault with a twist.
-[Corey] Wow.

1468
01:14:17,871 --> 01:14:19,588
-Oh, my goodness.
-[Vic] Into the cover.

1469
01:14:19,621 --> 01:14:22,671
For the title. And another near fall.

1470
01:14:24,021 --> 01:14:26,688
Whisper in the Wind-esque.

1471
01:14:26,721 --> 01:14:28,938
-Tatum Paxley…
-[Corey] Izzi's beside herself.

1472
01:14:28,971 --> 01:14:34,205
[Booker T] Well, Tatum's pushing Sol Ruca
to the limit tonight, guys.

1473
01:14:34,238 --> 01:14:36,788
-[crowd chanting] This is awesome.
-[Booker T] Yes it is.

1474
01:14:36,821 --> 01:14:40,888
[crowd chanting]
This is awesome. This is awesome.

1475
01:14:43,721 --> 01:14:45,038
[Vic] This is your main event

1476
01:14:45,071 --> 01:14:47,304
for the women's North American title.

1477
01:14:47,338 --> 01:14:49,355
Izzi Dame, The culling out here,

1478
01:14:49,388 --> 01:14:52,505
trying to rally behind Tatum Paxley
to bring gold

1479
01:14:52,538 --> 01:14:55,155
back to The Culling.
Sol Ruca, the champion,

01:14:55,188 --> 01:14:58,755
hoping to make it to day 108 as champion,

1481
01:14:58,788 --> 01:15:01,155
with Zaria here supporting her.

1482
01:15:01,188 --> 01:15:03,938
And both women now
in a precarious position.

1483
01:15:05,988 --> 01:15:09,321
And I don't know if you guys saw that.
Tatum just had a grin on her face.

1484
01:15:12,171 --> 01:15:14,538
Tatum trying to hoist up Sol.

1485
01:15:18,205 --> 01:15:19,921
The champion able to block.

1486
01:15:19,955 --> 01:15:21,855
What's on the mind now of Sol Ruca?

1487
01:15:22,821 --> 01:15:24,571
[Booker T] We're
in the high-risk district.

1488
01:15:24,605 --> 01:15:27,738
-Oh, yes, baby.
-[Vic] Big powerbomb. Wow.

1489
01:15:27,771 --> 01:15:29,554
[Corey] Gnarly landing for Paxley,

1490
01:15:29,588 --> 01:15:32,671
high across her shoulders
and the base of her neck.

1491
01:15:32,705 --> 01:15:35,471
[Vic] That could spell the beginning of
the end for the challenger.

1492
01:15:36,955 --> 01:15:39,171
Look at the champion,
looking over to Zaria.

1493
01:15:40,105 --> 01:15:43,638
She could be maybe entering
the Zone of Destruction.

1494
01:15:43,705 --> 01:15:45,755
Look for a spear, no one there.

1495
01:15:45,788 --> 01:15:47,938
-Champion, into the post.
-[Booker T] Could be it, guys.

1496
01:15:47,971 --> 01:15:50,338
[Vic] Challenger,
rolling over the champion!

1497
01:15:50,371 --> 01:15:52,205
And another near fall.

1498
01:15:52,238 --> 01:15:55,638
[Booker T] Paxley so close
to manufacturing the win here, man.

1499
01:15:55,671 --> 01:15:57,088
So close to a victory.

1500
01:15:58,304 --> 01:16:00,738
[Vic] Paxley, so close.
Right now, hoisting up and--

1501
01:16:00,771 --> 01:16:03,288
-[Corey] Wow.
-[Vic] Counter, counter, counter.

1502
01:16:03,321 --> 01:16:05,205
-And a near fall again.
-[Corey] Wow.

1503
01:16:05,238 --> 01:16:07,671
[Vic] Counter for counter.
Kick catches Paxley.

1504
01:16:07,705 --> 01:16:10,971
Challenger just fell,
champion rising back to her feet.

1505
01:16:11,005 --> 01:16:15,355
What does Sol Ruca have left
in her bag of tricks to retain

1506
01:16:15,388 --> 01:16:17,455
the Women's North American title?

1507
01:16:20,371 --> 01:16:23,488
Able to land on her feet,
coming right back in.

1508
01:16:23,521 --> 01:16:27,388
It wasn't a full spear, though, Graves.
It was a mini one, still effective.

1509
01:16:27,421 --> 01:16:29,355
[Corey] Driving all the breath
out of the challenger.

1510
01:16:29,388 --> 01:16:32,138
Tatum Paxley, Capoeira style kick again

1511
01:16:32,171 --> 01:16:33,671
from Sol Ruca.

1512
01:16:33,705 --> 01:16:36,571
To the outside effortlessly.
Here comes the champion.

1513
01:16:36,605 --> 01:16:38,138
[Vic and Booker T] Oh.

1514
01:16:38,171 --> 01:16:39,804
[Vic] Fatigue may be settling in.

1515
01:16:39,838 --> 01:16:43,155
Sol Ruca, though, was able to
catch herself at the last moment

1516
01:16:43,188 --> 01:16:44,621
and pop right back up.

1517
01:16:44,655 --> 01:16:47,271
[Corey] That freakish athleticism
possessed by the champion,

1518
01:16:47,304 --> 01:16:51,821
the ability to think on her feet,
in the air, mid-maneuver.

1519
01:16:51,855 --> 01:16:53,905
[Vic] And if at first you don't succeed,

1520
01:16:54,671 --> 01:16:58,588
-you try and try again. But--
-[Corey] Oh.

1521
01:16:58,621 --> 01:17:00,005
[Vic] Tatum Paxley with a counter.

1522
01:17:00,688 --> 01:17:02,338
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1523
01:17:02,371 --> 01:17:04,255
-No, no, no, no, no!
-[Corey] Whoa!

1524
01:17:04,288 --> 01:17:06,605
[Vic] I don't know if that was
a counter or a neckbreaker.

1525
01:17:06,638 --> 01:17:08,371
But damn it, it was effective.

1526
01:17:08,405 --> 01:17:11,071
-Paxley, though, can't get into the cover.
-[Booker T] Beautiful.

1527
01:17:11,105 --> 01:17:15,505
[Vic] So much taken out of the challenger.
She can't roll over into the cover.

1528
01:17:15,538 --> 01:17:19,671
[crowd chanting]
This is awesome. This is awesome.

1529
01:17:22,338 --> 01:17:25,171
[Corey] What's happened is some sort
of disagreement within The Culling

1530
01:17:25,205 --> 01:17:28,338
between Spears and Izzi.
There's chaos. An the ref…

1531
01:17:28,371 --> 01:17:31,388
What the hell?
That's Nia Jax and Lash Legend.

1532
01:17:31,421 --> 01:17:33,938
[Vic] And I think Tatum Paxley
just looked at Izzi Dame,

1533
01:17:33,971 --> 01:17:36,188
shaking her head,
thanking her for the doll.

1534
01:17:36,938 --> 01:17:40,421
And on the outside, you said it,
Lashley, what the hell is going on?

1535
01:17:40,455 --> 01:17:42,155
[Corey] There's no time for dolls.

1536
01:17:43,888 --> 01:17:46,488
Big… Oh, security's getting dropped.

1537
01:17:46,521 --> 01:17:48,455
We still got a championship match.

1538
01:17:49,438 --> 01:17:51,421
Tatum might have the ultimate equalizer.

1539
01:17:51,871 --> 01:17:53,421
[commentators exclaiming]

1540
01:17:54,621 --> 01:17:56,671
[Vic] Through the barricade.
Back in the ring.

1541
01:17:56,705 --> 01:17:59,071
Sol Snatcher! Sol Snatcher!

1542
01:17:59,955 --> 01:18:03,505
And Ruca just snatched another soul.

1543
01:18:03,538 --> 01:18:05,605
["Chasing Surf" playing]

1544
01:18:05,638 --> 01:18:08,838
[announcer] Here's your winner, and still

1545
01:18:08,871 --> 01:18:13,005
the NXT Women's North American Champion,

1546
01:18:13,038 --> 01:18:17,338
Sol Ruca.

1547
01:18:19,705 --> 01:18:23,488
[Vic] I can't get over
what has happened here tonight.

1548
01:18:24,721 --> 01:18:28,355
[Corey] Certainly a lot to digest, Vic,
but the reality of the situation

1549
01:18:28,388 --> 01:18:30,771
and all that matters is the result.

1550
01:18:30,804 --> 01:18:32,255
And still,

1551
01:18:32,288 --> 01:18:37,755
Sol Ruca, after surviving
a brutal neckbreaker off the top.

1552
01:18:37,788 --> 01:18:39,738
And then all hell broke loose.

1553
01:18:39,771 --> 01:18:42,804
Lash Legend puts Nia Jax
through the barricade

1554
01:18:42,838 --> 01:18:44,421
ahead of their collision.

1555
01:18:44,455 --> 01:18:48,371
Sol Snatcher
from the North American Champion.

1556
01:18:48,405 --> 01:18:51,871
Boom. So nice. Let's watch it twice.

1557
01:18:51,905 --> 01:18:53,455
Hook of the leg.

1558
01:18:53,488 --> 01:18:56,288
And Sol Ruca retains.

1559
01:18:56,321 --> 01:19:01,188
[Vic] And that last look,
Shawn Spears was beside himself.

1560
01:19:01,221 --> 01:19:03,105
So close

1561
01:19:04,221 --> 01:19:06,338
to that championship

1562
01:19:06,371 --> 01:19:08,054
was Tatum Paxley.

1563
01:19:08,088 --> 01:19:10,855
But in the end, as you mentioned,

1564
01:19:10,888 --> 01:19:14,205
Sol Ruca survives.

1565
01:19:23,205 --> 01:19:27,288
This night belongs to our
Women's North American Champion,

1566
01:19:27,321 --> 01:19:31,921
as Sol Ruca continues to ride
the wave of momentum

1567
01:19:31,955 --> 01:19:35,054
in NXT.
uca continues to ride
the wave of momentum
