00:00:08,538 --> 00:00:09,488
[Triple H] Then.

3
00:00:13,205 --> 00:00:14,188
Now.

4
00:00:19,154 --> 00:00:20,171
Forever.

5
00:00:28,688 --> 00:00:29,805
Together.

6
00:00:37,071 --> 00:00:43,671
[Vic] Live from Lowell, the NXT Universe
is ready and fired up for WWE Heatwave.

7
00:00:50,771 --> 00:00:52,105
The North American champion,

8
00:00:52,138 --> 00:00:54,288
Ethan Page, and Chelsea Green,

9
00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:56,788
against Tavion Heights
and Tyra Mae Steele.

10
00:00:56,821 --> 00:01:00,904
Who will represent their country?
Which duo will stand tall?

11
00:01:00,938 --> 00:01:03,705
We are not giving you citizenship.

12
00:01:04,571 --> 00:01:09,188
[Vic] Chelsea Green just pinned
an Olympic gold medalist.

13
00:01:09,221 --> 00:01:11,155
Who will be the one to walk out

14
00:01:11,188 --> 00:01:14,638
the number one contender
to the NXT Women's Championship?

15
00:01:14,671 --> 00:01:16,038
[Lola] Kalani.

16
00:01:16,071 --> 00:01:17,771
Jaida. At Heatwave,

17
00:01:17,804 --> 00:01:20,288
I'm turning Lowell into Vice City, baby.

18
00:01:20,821 --> 00:01:25,388
[Vic] Lola Vice, the number one contender.

19
00:01:25,421 --> 00:01:29,304
[Booker T]
It's about defending the championship.

20
00:01:32,121 --> 00:01:36,621
[Vic] And it's a Darkstate doomsday.

21
00:01:36,655 --> 00:01:40,804
Darkstate has ushered in
a dark era in NXT.

22
00:01:41,804 --> 00:01:44,021
Jayne, Ash, Masha.

23
00:01:44,054 --> 00:01:46,138
Who walks out knockouts champion?

24
00:01:46,821 --> 00:01:48,005
[Booker T] Well, damn.

25
00:01:48,038 --> 00:01:49,988
[Vic] Fatal Influence is gone.

26
00:01:54,488 --> 00:01:57,721
The Elegance Brand just pulled out Jacy.

27
00:01:57,755 --> 00:01:59,721
Ash, to the top.

28
00:01:59,755 --> 00:02:05,638
And Ash brings the knockout title
back to TNA.

29
00:02:05,671 --> 00:02:08,738
Looks like Jacy's little shadows
did not help her keep

30
00:02:08,771 --> 00:02:11,138
the TNA Knockouts title after all.

31
00:02:11,171 --> 00:02:12,471
I am sick.

32
00:02:12,505 --> 00:02:13,538
Let's go.

33
00:02:15,355 --> 00:02:21,188
[Vic] This has gotten personal fast
between The Glamour, Blake Monroe

34
00:02:21,221 --> 00:02:23,405
and the Juggernaut, Jordynne Grace.

35
00:02:23,438 --> 00:02:28,171
Blake Monroe is trying to systematically
take apart the Juggernaut.

36
00:02:28,204 --> 00:02:30,771
Blocking out the pain, powerbomb.

37
00:02:30,805 --> 00:02:32,488
[Booker T] That's it.

38
00:02:32,521 --> 00:02:34,838
[Vic] You gotta to be kidding me.

39
00:02:34,871 --> 00:02:38,905
Jordynne Grace just wants
to punish Blake Monroe.

40
00:02:39,405 --> 00:02:40,788
And, oh, the stomp!

41
00:02:41,738 --> 00:02:47,554
DDT and Blake Monroe shocks the universe.

42
00:02:50,938 --> 00:02:54,471
Who will be the NXT champion
after tonight?

43
00:02:54,505 --> 00:02:55,871
Can Evans make history?

44
00:02:55,905 --> 00:02:59,221
You are the future of WWE, of NXT.

45
00:02:59,255 --> 00:03:00,204
Thank you, thank you.

46
00:03:00,238 --> 00:03:02,855
[Vic] Or will the ruler
continue his reign?

47
00:03:02,888 --> 00:03:05,521
Je'Von can't take the title from me.

48
00:03:05,554 --> 00:03:07,571
Bro, I'm next in line.
I'm waiting.

49
00:03:08,204 --> 00:03:11,121
[Vic] We're looking
at the future of the WWE

50
00:03:11,155 --> 00:03:14,471
in both of these men.
Femi's foot was under the rope.

51
00:03:15,521 --> 00:03:18,355
With no remorse for human life!

52
00:03:20,138 --> 00:03:21,671
[Booker T] God damn!

53
00:03:22,954 --> 00:03:27,405
[Vic] A fall from grace.
Continuing to dominate,

54
00:03:27,438 --> 00:03:32,038
continuing to rule is
our champion, Oba Femi.

55
00:03:32,071 --> 00:03:34,188
[man] This is the revolution.

56
00:03:34,221 --> 00:03:35,738
[Vic] But look who it is.

57
00:03:35,771 --> 00:03:38,405
-[Booker T] Wait a minute.
-[Vic] Ricky Saints.

58
00:03:38,438 --> 00:03:42,804
The future of the NXT
championship is absolute.

59
00:03:42,838 --> 00:03:46,655
[Vic] Is Saints the one to end
the reign of the ruler?

60
00:03:50,821 --> 00:03:53,321
[Vic] Well, we are about to
feel the afterburn.

61
00:03:53,355 --> 00:03:55,288

[Vic] Oh, Booker, we are wasting
no time tonight.

69
00:04:22,404 --> 00:04:29,371
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Ricky Saints.

70
00:04:29,405 --> 00:04:32,071
[Vic] There's a lot of praise
for the main event

71
00:04:32,104 --> 00:04:35,721
at Heatwave and specifically Je'Von Evans,
rightfully dejected.

72
00:04:35,755 --> 00:04:37,288
Sunday he left the building,

73
00:04:37,321 --> 00:04:40,621
a heartbreaking loss for Je'Von
this past Sunday at Heatwave.

74
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:42,238
[Booker T] The one thing you
don't do, man,

75
00:04:42,271 --> 00:04:43,571
is take yourself out of the game.

76
00:04:43,604 --> 00:04:48,638
Hopefully, the young man will go back
and regroup and do just that,

77
00:04:48,671 --> 00:04:50,321
get back in the game, man.

78
00:04:50,354 --> 00:04:52,688
[Vic] You know who put himself
in the game was this man,

79
00:04:52,721 --> 00:04:55,405
who's toe to toe with Oba Femi.

80
00:04:55,438 --> 00:04:57,288
[Booker T] Give this guy a lot of credit.

81
00:04:57,321 --> 00:05:01,688
I mean, you put a step in there
do what needs to be done to go out there.

82
00:05:01,721 --> 00:05:04,288
You know, put yourself
on the spotlight, kid.

83
00:05:04,321 --> 00:05:07,871
He's got that pose. He's got that pose.

84
00:05:07,905 --> 00:05:09,755
What else he got to go with that?

85
00:05:09,788 --> 00:05:11,638
That is what I want to know, man.

86
00:05:11,671 --> 00:05:13,538
Huh? You know what I'm saying.

87
00:05:13,571 --> 00:05:16,021
Give me the pose one time.
There it is.

88
00:05:16,755 --> 00:05:20,055
See, that right there is exactly
why I wanted to come out here

89
00:05:20,088 --> 00:05:24,271
and kick off an NXT the right way,
the Ricky way.

91

[crowd chanting] Ricky! Ricky!

92
00:05:31,588 --> 00:05:33,521
That is me. Thank you.

93
00:05:34,638 --> 00:05:39,505
Everybody saw what happened
at Heatwave and I will say this.

94
00:05:39,538 --> 00:05:43,038
I will always put my money
behind you, Je'Von Evans,

95
00:05:43,071 --> 00:05:44,471
any time the day.

96
00:05:44,505 --> 00:05:46,604
[crowd cheering]

97
00:05:46,638 --> 00:05:48,971
But ultimately, it was Oba Femi

98
00:05:49,005 --> 00:05:52,088
that proved exactly why
he is the NXT champion.

99
00:05:53,571 --> 00:05:56,638
The other reason I actually came
out here is because…

100
00:05:56,671 --> 00:05:58,005
don't know if you know this or not

101
00:05:58,038 --> 00:06:00,338
but it has been six months since
I have been here.

102
00:06:01,021 --> 00:06:05,455
And in that six months,
I have been North American champion.

103
00:06:06,555 --> 00:06:12,071
I have taken down monsters,
and I have faced the best of the best,

104
00:06:12,104 --> 00:06:14,955
but there is one thing
that I want

105
00:06:14,988 --> 00:06:19,405
and that is the thing that you,
Oba Femi, have in your possession.

106
00:06:22,288 --> 00:06:25,555
And look, there's a group
of talented people

107
00:06:25,588 --> 00:06:27,255
in that locker room back there.

108
00:06:27,288 --> 00:06:31,238
I acknowledge that but I figure
why not now?

109
00:06:31,271 --> 00:06:36,205
To step up to the plate and conquer
what seems to be the impossible.

110
00:06:36,805 --> 00:06:38,205
So what I am doing right now is

111
00:06:38,238 --> 00:06:41,021
I am laying it on the line
and I am calling my shot.

112
00:06:41,055 --> 00:06:42,104
I am the man.

113
00:06:42,138 --> 00:06:47,238
I am the one, Oba Femi, so come on
out here and let's meet face-to-face.

114
00:06:47,271 --> 00:06:50,755
[Booker T laughing] Oh, duckie, duckie.
Quack, quack.

115
00:06:51,871 --> 00:06:53,588
[Vic] That's not Oba Femi.

116
00:06:54,371 --> 00:06:56,705
[Booker T] The heck? Here we go.

117
00:06:56,738 --> 00:06:58,705
Hey, don't get carried away.

118
00:06:58,738 --> 00:07:00,705
-You ain't gettin' Oba.
-[crowd booing]

119
00:07:00,738 --> 00:07:04,138
Yeah, you've been here
six months, you said?

120
00:07:04,171 --> 00:07:06,805
Since day one,
you have been walking around

121
00:07:06,838 --> 00:07:09,438
like you are some gift to this business.

122
00:07:09,471 --> 00:07:11,405
[crowd booing]

123
00:07:16,438 --> 00:07:21,938
Bro, look, I will give you
the rare Josh Briggs compliment.

124
00:07:24,238 --> 00:07:26,055
The hype is real, Ricky.

125
00:07:26,838 --> 00:07:28,955
The hype is real but I am done.

126
00:07:28,988 --> 00:07:34,038
I am done with outsiders
like Inamura, like you.

127
00:07:34,071 --> 00:07:35,738
[crowd chanting]

128
00:07:38,354 --> 00:07:39,471
He ain't here.

129
00:07:40,604 --> 00:07:43,221
I am tired of outsiders
like Inamura, like you

130
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:47,005
getting shots you don't deserve.

131
00:07:47,671 --> 00:07:50,338
That talent that you
are talking about, bro,

132
00:07:51,055 --> 00:07:53,155
they could not touch me in this ring
if I gave them

133
00:07:53,188 --> 00:07:55,771
a five year head-start
and neither can you.

134
00:07:56,521 --> 00:07:57,655
You heard me?

135
00:07:59,171 --> 00:08:00,838
[laughs] Hold on, hold on, hold on.

136
00:08:00,871 --> 00:08:02,621
Let me stop you right there.

137
00:08:02,655 --> 00:08:04,521
I should have checked you
a few weeks ago

138
00:08:04,554 --> 00:08:07,638
when you interrupted my entrance
and that is on me.

139
00:08:07,671 --> 00:08:10,571
I understand that you have been
to hell and back with Inamura

140
00:08:10,604 --> 00:08:12,921
but there's only one person
standing right here

141
00:08:12,955 --> 00:08:14,821
in front of me so there's no doubt

142
00:08:14,854 --> 00:08:16,938
about how tough you are.

143
00:08:16,971 --> 00:08:20,938
But if you think I'm going to stand
in the back of the line,

144
00:08:20,971 --> 00:08:23,455
if you think that's in my DNA, my man,

145
00:08:23,488 --> 00:08:25,455
you have lost your mind.

146
00:08:25,488 --> 00:08:27,038
[crowd cheering]

147
00:08:27,071 --> 00:08:31,421
You, you walk out here and you look
like Sid from Toy Story,

148
00:08:31,455 --> 00:08:33,704
and you're gonna tell me,

149
00:08:33,738 --> 00:08:36,838
and you're gonna tell me,
that I need to know my position?

150
00:08:36,871 --> 00:08:39,838
Understand this, I am the line.

151
00:08:39,871 --> 00:08:44,505
I am the position and the problem is
that you think that you are right.

152
00:08:45,105 --> 00:08:47,538
I know I am right

153
00:08:47,571 --> 00:08:51,121
and the only solution to this
is to handle it right here.

154
00:08:51,155 --> 00:08:52,788
Whether it's Sid or Briggs,

155
00:08:52,821 --> 00:08:55,155
I am going to beat you down
like the…you are. What's up?

156
00:08:55,188 --> 00:08:57,021
[Booker T] Oh, yeah.

157
00:08:57,055 --> 00:08:58,605
[Vic] Might have had to reserve that--

158
00:08:58,638 --> 00:08:59,771
[Booker T] Let's do it.

159
00:08:59,805 --> 00:09:01,321
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

160
00:09:02,255 --> 00:09:03,488
The general manager.

161
00:09:03,521 --> 00:09:05,138
All right, all right.

162
00:09:05,171 --> 00:09:07,905
So I already know where this is going.

163
00:09:07,938 --> 00:09:10,338
So before anything else happens,

164
00:09:10,921 --> 00:09:13,021
I actually have an announcement to make.

165
00:09:14,988 --> 00:09:19,005
No one has heard from Je'Von Evans
following his loss at Heatwave

166
00:09:20,121 --> 00:09:23,954
and because of that, I know
how to find a new number one contender

167
00:09:23,988 --> 00:09:25,688
for the an NXT Championship.

168
00:09:26,255 --> 00:09:28,171
And luckily, both of you have

169
00:09:28,204 --> 00:09:32,488
very compelling cases and some
pretty impressive wins behind you,

170
00:09:33,038 --> 00:09:34,271
so here's what's gonna happen.

171
00:09:34,888 --> 00:09:38,738
Tonight, Josh Briggs will go
one-on-one with Ricky Saints.

173
00:09:41,371 --> 00:09:47,204
And whoever wins will face Oba Femi
for the NXT championship at No Mercy.

174
00:09:47,238 --> 00:09:48,121
Good luck.

175
00:09:50,588 --> 00:09:52,288
[Vic] What an announcement.

176
00:09:52,321 --> 00:09:53,738
What a match.

177
00:09:54,338 --> 00:09:57,771
Still to come here tonight,
but right now, Book, we got to go back

178
00:09:57,805 --> 00:10:00,405
to something that transpired at Heatwave.

179
00:10:01,138 --> 00:10:03,005
Very impressive victory out there.

180
00:10:03,038 --> 00:10:05,871
As much as I despise JG,

181
00:10:05,905 --> 00:10:08,488
She is widely considered
the best in the women's division

182
00:10:08,521 --> 00:10:13,005
and I beat her so I think it is time
to do what I came to do before,

183
00:10:13,038 --> 00:10:15,171
-becoming the NXT Women's champion.
-Right.

184
00:10:15,204 --> 00:10:17,021
[Kelani] I don't think so.

185
00:10:17,055 --> 00:10:18,605
You can't claim anything.

186
00:10:18,638 --> 00:10:21,788
It took me two years to
get an opportunity for an opportunity

187
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:23,355
at the NXT Women's Championship.

188
00:10:23,388 --> 00:10:24,838
-Uh, excuse me?
-Back of the line.

189
00:10:24,871 --> 00:10:27,188
Excuse me?
Who has got your knickers in a twist?

190
00:10:27,221 --> 00:10:28,704
-You do.
-[scoffs]

191
00:10:28,738 --> 00:10:31,738
Is somebody upset because they lost? Oh.

192
00:10:31,771 --> 00:10:34,105
That's weird coming from
somebody who was running out

193
00:10:34,138 --> 00:10:36,838
the ring last time I wrestled with them.
And I didn't get pinned tonight.

194
00:10:36,871 --> 00:10:38,671
-Trying to…
-[exclaims]

195
00:10:38,704 --> 00:10:39,821
Here's an idea.

196
00:10:39,855 --> 00:10:42,954
How about you guys just finish
what you started two weeks ago

197
00:10:42,988 --> 00:10:45,805
when you two go one-on-one on Tuesday?

198
00:10:45,838 --> 00:10:47,321
-Perfect.
-Awesome.

199
00:10:47,355 --> 00:10:49,621
I'm gonna make an example out of you.

200
00:10:53,738 --> 00:10:56,338
For the record, I don't think
you are a very good GM.

201
00:10:57,221 --> 00:10:58,454
Not a fan of the work.

202
00:10:59,755 --> 00:11:02,305
[woman] Glamour is forever.

203
00:11:02,338 --> 00:11:04,454
["Glamour Is Forever" playing]

204
00:11:18,155 --> 00:11:19,405
[bell rings]

205
00:11:19,438 --> 00:11:23,238
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

206
00:11:23,271 --> 00:11:26,171
Introducing first, from London, England,

207
00:11:26,204 --> 00:11:30,605
Blake Monroe!

208
00:11:31,255 --> 00:11:34,888
[Vic] Well, after what you and myself
and Booker,

209
00:11:34,921 --> 00:11:40,055
what we just saw from this past Sunday
on social media

210
00:11:40,088 --> 00:11:42,338
has brought us to tonight.

211
00:11:42,371 --> 00:11:46,055
We're set for Blake Monroe
and Kelani Jordan, next.

212
00:11:46,088 --> 00:11:47,588
[Booker T] Oh, yes!

213
00:11:50,688 --> 00:11:53,688
["Out Of This World" playing]

214
00:11:56,938 --> 00:11:59,621
[Vic] Here's a woman
looking to bounce back tonight.

215
00:12:01,738 --> 00:12:04,971
[announcer] And her opponent,
from Boynton Beach, Florida,

216
00:12:05,071 --> 00:12:08,954
Kelani Jordan!

217
00:12:08,988 --> 00:12:13,371
[Vic] Booker, let's go back
to the last time these two Superstars met.

218
00:12:13,405 --> 00:12:15,871
About three weeks ago,
Jordan was going high risk.

219
00:12:15,905 --> 00:12:18,238
Blake Monroe took full advantage,

220
00:12:18,271 --> 00:12:21,121
until she saw
the returning Jordynne Grace.

221
00:12:21,155 --> 00:12:23,305
Grace, at the time,
was wearing a neck brace

222
00:12:23,338 --> 00:12:25,571
after the heinous actions of Blake Monroe,

223
00:12:25,605 --> 00:12:27,471
who went running.

224
00:12:27,505 --> 00:12:30,671
She was able to get out
and escape that night from Grace,

225
00:12:30,704 --> 00:12:35,055
but also, it was Kelani
who was victorious on that night.

226
00:12:35,088 --> 00:12:36,871
Can Kelani do it again?

227
00:12:36,905 --> 00:12:39,921
Because there's been a lot of chirping
between these two.

228
00:12:39,954 --> 00:12:41,204
So I'll ask you this,

229
00:12:41,238 --> 00:12:42,805
who needs to win more?

230
00:12:42,838 --> 00:12:47,055
[Booker T] Both of these ladies
need to win big time

231
00:12:47,088 --> 00:12:50,305
to move to the number one spot.
But let's talk about Blake Monroe.

232
00:12:50,338 --> 00:12:53,055
She wasn't running Sunday night, was she?

233
00:12:53,088 --> 00:12:56,555
Was she running? Huh?
Talk to me, Vic! Talk to me, Vic!

234
00:12:56,588 --> 00:12:59,321
I'm saying Blake Monroe
has the in-ring prowess,

235
00:12:59,355 --> 00:13:02,438
I'm telling you, like I haven't seen
in quite some time.

236
00:13:02,471 --> 00:13:04,438
Let me tell you this, this lady here--

237
00:13:04,471 --> 00:13:07,771
[Vic] Right through. Shoulders down.
Nice counter, to your point, Booker.

238
00:13:07,805 --> 00:13:11,171
-And a kick-out.
-[Booker T] Kelani better watch herself.

239
00:13:11,204 --> 00:13:12,704
Trust me on that, Vic.

240
00:13:12,738 --> 00:13:15,521
[Vic] Wasn't it rude… As Blake Monroe
may be looking for submission.

241
00:13:15,555 --> 00:13:16,838
Rolling up Kelani.

242
00:13:16,871 --> 00:13:19,588
Kalani shifting weight once more.
Another near fall.

243
00:13:19,621 --> 00:13:21,371
Wasn't it rude of Blake to tell Ava

244
00:13:21,405 --> 00:13:23,905
-she doesn't like her as GM?
-[Booker T] See what I'm saying?

245
00:13:23,938 --> 00:13:26,538
[Vic] She hit a headbutt.
We're in the early stages of this match.

246
00:13:26,571 --> 00:13:29,905
Are you writing off Kelani?
What about that? Look at that.

247
00:13:29,938 --> 00:13:32,188
[Booker T] That was a big shot.
But lemme say,

248
00:13:32,221 --> 00:13:34,905
Blake Monroe is trying to win.

249
00:13:34,938 --> 00:13:37,555
You can feel it, but you can't touch it.

250
00:13:37,588 --> 00:13:39,121
Here we go. Wait a minute.

251
00:13:39,155 --> 00:13:41,588
[Vic] And instead of the cover,
right on top.

252
00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:44,138
Blake made her intentions known on Sunday.

253
00:13:44,171 --> 00:13:47,171
She came to the WWE
for the NXT Women's Championship,

254
00:13:47,204 --> 00:13:49,288
and you can't blame her for that.

255
00:13:49,321 --> 00:13:51,021
[Booker T] She came for a reason.

256
00:13:51,055 --> 00:13:52,588
[Vic] Into the cover off the dropkick.

257
00:13:52,621 --> 00:13:54,738
[Booker T] She's the mega blonde bombshell

258
00:13:54,771 --> 00:13:57,405
and I'm not just saying that
for any other reason

259
00:13:57,438 --> 00:13:59,921
than she's about to blow up here in NXT.

260
00:13:59,954 --> 00:14:02,704
She's about to win that championship
in grand fashion.

261
00:14:02,738 --> 00:14:05,605
I'm just putting it out there.
I'm putting it in the air.

262
00:14:05,638 --> 00:14:08,488
[Vic] What stood out most about Blake
winning at Heatwave?

263
00:14:08,521 --> 00:14:10,321
That she dug deep into her playbook?

264
00:14:10,355 --> 00:14:13,438
[Booker T] It was her poise, man.
Her prowess.

265
00:14:13,471 --> 00:14:17,338
Every inch of that squared circle,
that time in Japan that she spent

266
00:14:17,371 --> 00:14:21,738
is definitely invaluable. And right now,
I'm telling you, trust me on this,

267
00:14:21,771 --> 00:14:23,321
she's gonna move up.

268
00:14:23,354 --> 00:14:25,771
What did I say? She's in Fav Five, right?

269
00:14:25,805 --> 00:14:27,954
-At what number? At what number?
-[Vic] Yes.

270
00:14:27,988 --> 00:14:30,238
-You change it all the time.
-[Booker T] Number one.

271
00:14:30,271 --> 00:14:33,405
[Vic] You forgot her name in Houston
a few weeks ago. Now, she's number one?

272
00:14:33,438 --> 00:14:35,521
-What you talking about?
-[Booker T] Let me tell you,

273
00:14:35,555 --> 00:14:38,071
Blake Monroe has that it-factor.

274
00:14:38,104 --> 00:14:41,604
And one thing about that it-factor,
you can't teach it. It…

275
00:14:41,638 --> 00:14:44,555
-Here we go!
-[Vic] Bringing out her training in Japan.

276
00:14:44,588 --> 00:14:48,805
Look at this submission. We saw this
executed this Sunday against Jordynne.

277
00:14:48,838 --> 00:14:50,704
Nice counter, though, by Kelani.

278
00:14:50,738 --> 00:14:54,471
[Booker T] Tried to dislocate the arm
right there of Kelani Jordan.

279
00:14:55,088 --> 00:14:57,088
[Vic] I gotta talk about Ava real quick,

280
00:14:57,121 --> 00:14:59,405
because what a match
she made earlier tonight.

281
00:14:59,438 --> 00:15:01,788
Number-one contendership, no mercy.

282
00:15:01,821 --> 00:15:03,805
Who will face Oba for the NXT Title?

283
00:15:03,838 --> 00:15:04,905
[Booker T exclaims]

284
00:15:04,938 --> 00:15:06,638
[Vic] Ricky Saints? Josh Briggs?

285
00:15:06,671 --> 00:15:09,255
Ava has done a magnificent job recently.

286
00:15:09,288 --> 00:15:12,604
[Booker T] No, come on. I'm not gonna
put Ava on a pedestal.

287
00:15:12,638 --> 00:15:14,321
Ava's made some good decisions.

288
00:15:14,354 --> 00:15:15,755
She made some bad decisions.

289
00:15:15,788 --> 00:15:17,505
But that's just part of the job.

290
00:15:17,538 --> 00:15:19,038
That's just part of the job.

291
00:15:19,071 --> 00:15:20,788
I'm gonna give her a pass on that.

292
00:15:20,821 --> 00:15:23,571
[Vic] Okay, at least you were honest
about your opinion.

293
00:15:23,604 --> 00:15:24,988
[Booker T] Of course I am!

294
00:15:25,021 --> 00:15:28,305
[Vic] 99% of the time, but there's that 1%
that gets me sometimes.

295
00:15:28,338 --> 00:15:29,688
You keep me on my toes.

296
00:15:29,721 --> 00:15:31,921
[Booker T] Right now,
Kelani's looking great.

297
00:15:31,954 --> 00:15:35,721
And let me tell you something,
I don't want anybody to sleep on Kelani.

298
00:15:35,755 --> 00:15:38,338
She's the first of her kind.

299
00:15:38,371 --> 00:15:41,255
She's the first North American Champion.
You gotta give her credit.

300
00:15:41,288 --> 00:15:43,971
She was so close
in her Breakout Tournament.

301
00:15:44,005 --> 00:15:46,555
She should have won that,
but for some shenanigans.

302
00:15:46,588 --> 00:15:49,555
So let me tell you, she's on the rise!
She's on the rise!

303
00:15:49,588 --> 00:15:52,038
[Vic] Well, she's looking to stand out
once again.

304
00:15:52,071 --> 00:15:55,671
And certainly, Booker,
a win tonight would do just that.

305
00:15:55,704 --> 00:15:58,555
Innovative DDT.
Trying to get into the cover.

306
00:15:58,588 --> 00:16:01,671
[Booker T] See what I'm saying?
That's what I'm talking about,

307
00:16:01,704 --> 00:16:05,671
Blake Monroe being able to create
a little bit of space right there.

308
00:16:05,704 --> 00:16:09,604
[Vic] We know how excited
you were for Blake on Sunday.

309
00:16:09,638 --> 00:16:12,888
But also, it's important to note,
Kelani Jordan was not…

310
00:16:12,921 --> 00:16:15,055
-["Win" playing]
-[Booker T] What the hell?

311
00:16:15,088 --> 00:16:16,238
What the hell?

312
00:16:16,271 --> 00:16:18,021
[Vic] Looks like Blake saw a ghost.

313
00:16:18,055 --> 00:16:19,255
[Booker T] Come on, man!

314
00:16:19,288 --> 00:16:22,271
[Vic] It's Jordynne Grace! Grace is here!

315
00:16:22,305 --> 00:16:24,771
And it's a repeat of three weeks ago!

316
00:16:24,805 --> 00:16:26,971
[Booker T] Oh, come on, man. This is…

317
00:16:27,005 --> 00:16:29,354
This is… This is… Come on!

318
00:16:30,421 --> 00:16:31,905
Where you think you're going?

319
00:16:31,938 --> 00:16:33,271
You got a match.

320
00:16:33,305 --> 00:16:34,738
-Go ahead.
-No.

321
00:16:34,771 --> 00:16:36,771
-Go ahead, go to your match.
-I beat you.

322
00:16:36,805 --> 00:16:39,155
-Kelani's waiting. I won't touch you.
-I beat you.

323
00:16:39,188 --> 00:16:41,555
-I beat you. This is over.
-Go ahead.

324
00:16:41,588 --> 00:16:42,721
-It's over!
-Go ahead.

325
00:16:42,755 --> 00:16:44,238
-It's over!
-Go to your match.

326
00:16:44,271 --> 00:16:45,471
[Vic] Oh, it's not over.

327
00:16:45,505 --> 00:16:49,271
There's nowhere for Blake to run.
Nowhere for Blake to escape.

328
00:16:49,305 --> 00:16:51,938
-[Booker T] What's going on?
-[Vic] What do you mean?

329
00:16:51,971 --> 00:16:55,421
[Booker T] The referee needs to do his job
and get Grace outta here.

330
00:16:56,204 --> 00:16:58,121
[Vic] Kelani dropping Monroe!

331
00:16:58,704 --> 00:17:01,038
-In the stands.
-[Booker T] Not like this!

332
00:17:01,071 --> 00:17:03,405
[Vic] One-of-a-kind!
Split-legged moonsault!

333
00:17:03,438 --> 00:17:05,905
[Booker T] Please don't let this happen.

334
00:17:05,938 --> 00:17:09,638
-[Vic] Jordan beats Blake again!
-[Booker T] Come on! This is ridiculous!

335
00:17:09,671 --> 00:17:14,604
[announcer] Here's your winner,
Kelani Jordan!

336
00:17:14,638 --> 00:17:16,038
[Booker T] You condone that?

337
00:17:16,071 --> 00:17:19,371
[Vic] You may not like it,
but it goes in the record books.

338
00:17:19,405 --> 00:17:22,571
Kelani Jordan victorious.
Grace isn't done with Monroe.

339
00:17:22,604 --> 00:17:24,438
She wants to make her life hell,

340
00:17:24,471 --> 00:17:27,638
just like my Myles Borne
wants to do to Lexis King.

341
00:17:29,938 --> 00:17:32,121
[presenter] Time for tonight's NXT Focus.

342
00:17:35,621 --> 00:17:37,555
Myles, thanks for taking the time
to sit with me.

343
00:17:37,588 --> 00:17:40,638
We've talked in the past
about your hearing disability,

344
00:17:40,671 --> 00:17:42,838
but today I wanna talk about Lexis King.

345
00:17:42,871 --> 00:17:44,838
-Thank you, guys.
-Ridiculous!

346
00:17:44,871 --> 00:17:47,071
Lexis King, he's just stirring the pot.

347
00:17:47,105 --> 00:17:48,455
Ava, he's not deaf.

348
00:17:48,488 --> 00:17:49,638
We all know that.

349
00:17:50,238 --> 00:17:53,455
Contrary to what Lexis believes,
I am mostly deaf.

350
00:17:53,488 --> 00:17:55,971
[Lexis] What he is is a con man.
A charlatan.

351
00:17:56,004 --> 00:17:59,071
A phony. And you rubes are falling for it.

352
00:17:59,105 --> 00:18:01,555
There's always gonna be someone
like a Lexis King,

353
00:18:01,588 --> 00:18:03,621
someone who doesn't get it.

354
00:18:03,655 --> 00:18:06,338
You're pretending to be deaf
to get sympathy.

355
00:18:06,371 --> 00:18:07,771
[Vic] Why's he wearing headphones?

356
00:18:07,805 --> 00:18:09,838
-Did somebody say…
-Lexis!

357
00:18:09,871 --> 00:18:11,238
You're not blind or deaf,

358
00:18:11,271 --> 00:18:13,705
but everyone here
sure wishes you were mute.

359
00:18:15,738 --> 00:18:18,004
I didn't know how you could wrestle
at such a high level

360

Myles Borne!

375
00:18:59,038 --> 00:19:03,405
Myles Borne, we just saw the history
between you and Lexis King.

376
00:19:03,438 --> 00:19:07,938
After what happened, I have to ask you,
how's your eyesight?

377
00:19:07,971 --> 00:19:11,988
You're still a little blurry, Sarah,
but this is a Blindfold Match.

378
00:19:12,021 --> 00:19:14,421
So, in a second,
it's about to get really dark.

379
00:19:14,455 --> 00:19:16,038
But I can't lie to you.

380
00:19:16,071 --> 00:19:18,288
This is gonna be a struggle for me.

381
00:19:18,321 --> 00:19:19,638
Unless…

Unless you guys…

I'm gonna need y'all to let me know
whenever I'm getting close to King.

I may be deaf, but I still feed off
your energy and your noise.

00:19:31,171 --> 00:19:33,471
So, I'm gonna need all of it.

Myles Borne ready to go.

Our official, Adrian Butler, making sure
that Lexis King

403
00:20:27,038 --> 00:20:30,821
puts his blindfold completely on.
Now, they are absolutely blind, Booker.

404
00:20:30,855 --> 00:20:33,088
-They can't see a thing.
-[Booker T] I don't like this.

-[Booker T] I don't like this.

406
00:20:35,955 --> 00:20:39,338
I don't like this. Ava should not have
put this match in the books.

Let me tell you, Myles Borne,

408
00:20:41,488 --> 00:20:43,871
he should be in a hospital right now.

409
00:20:43,905 --> 00:20:46,705
I don't know if he's medically cleared.
He said himself,

410
00:20:46,738 --> 00:20:47,988
his eyes are blurry.

411
00:20:48,021 --> 00:20:49,538
He shouldn't be in this match.

Whoa!

415
00:20:57,938 --> 00:21:02,921
Again, they can't see each other, Booker.
That's the danger of this Blindfold Match.

416
00:21:02,955 --> 00:21:04,971
Neither can see. It's about sense.

-[Vic laughs]

00:22:42,288 --> 00:22:44,804
…have you heard the saying
"protect yourself at all times"?

[Vic] Oh, I have never been
in a fight, but…

[Booker T] I know that, I hear that!

00:22:54,321 --> 00:22:55,838
I'm just giving you
the benefit of the doubt.

made this match, man.

[Vic] No, our General Manager
proves she's fair.

handled this situation?

Oh! No one's home for Borne.

496

I didn't get in matches like this.

[Vic] Yeah, but you were a SmackDown
General Manager at one point.

499
00:23:47,905 --> 00:23:49,504
How would you have handled the situation?

500
00:23:49,538 --> 00:23:51,171
Whoa, watch out, ref!

501
00:23:51,205 --> 00:23:52,038
[Booker T] I can tell you this.

502
00:23:52,071 --> 00:23:54,088
I can tell you this would get
an old-fashioned,

503
00:23:54,121 --> 00:23:56,254
a good old-fashioned Donnybrook,

504
00:23:56,288 --> 00:23:59,355
a slugfest between these two,
and who would have the advantage.

505
00:23:59,388 --> 00:24:00,221
Who have the advantage!

506
00:24:00,254 --> 00:24:03,038
[Vic] Well, the Donnybrook match
actually happens in Paris…

507
00:24:03,071 --> 00:24:04,138
[audience gasps]

508
00:24:04,171 --> 00:24:07,605
between Rusev and Sheamus
this Sunday at Clash in Paris.

509
00:24:07,638 --> 00:24:10,171
But right now,
it's all about a Blindfold match…

510
00:24:10,205 --> 00:24:11,038
[audience cheering]

511
00:24:11,071 --> 00:24:11,905
…of these two.

512
00:24:11,938 --> 00:24:14,554
[Booker T] I like the way you connected
that right there. Beautiful work.

513
00:24:14,588 --> 00:24:16,121
[audience shouting]

514
00:24:16,821 --> 00:24:18,205
[Vic] I kind of just feel bad
for the official.

515
00:24:18,238 --> 00:24:21,304
Oh! And there we go, able to find
each other inside of the ring now.

516
00:24:21,338 --> 00:24:22,671
And things starting to break down.

517
00:24:22,705 --> 00:24:23,538
[audience jeers]

518
00:24:23,571 --> 00:24:24,405
[audience] Yeah!

519
00:24:24,438 --> 00:24:25,288
[audience jeers]

520
00:24:25,321 --> 00:24:26,155
[audience] Yeah!

521
00:24:26,188 --> 00:24:27,038
[audience jeers]

522
00:24:27,071 --> 00:24:28,004
[audience] Yeah!

523
00:24:28,038 --> 00:24:30,038
-[audience jeers]
-[Booker T] Ah! Yeah, baby!

524
00:24:30,071 --> 00:24:31,605
Light him up, Lex!

525
00:24:31,638 --> 00:24:32,521
Is that Lexis?

526
00:24:32,554 --> 00:24:34,538
[Vic] That is Lexis,
swinging for the fences right now.

527
00:24:34,571 --> 00:24:35,705
Oh, it's a clothes--

528
00:24:35,738 --> 00:24:37,071
And look at Myles Borne.

529
00:24:37,105 --> 00:24:41,088
How wise is Myles Borne
to continue to hold onto the wrist.

530
00:24:41,121 --> 00:24:44,021
[Booker T] Given that lock there, that's
real smart there about the young man.

531
00:24:44,054 --> 00:24:45,538
[Myles and Lexis grunt]

532
00:24:47,088 --> 00:24:48,321
[Booker T] Beautiful
reversal there, though!

533
00:24:48,355 --> 00:24:49,488
[referee] Break, break, break!

534
00:24:49,521 --> 00:24:50,355
[audience jeers]

535
00:24:50,388 --> 00:24:52,738
Break it up!
Come on, break it up!

536
00:24:52,771 --> 00:24:54,155
Slowly, break it up!

537
00:24:54,188 --> 00:24:55,021
[audience jeers]

538
00:24:55,054 --> 00:24:56,605
-Break it up, come on, it's okay!
-[Lexis] I'm sorry. I'm…

539
00:24:56,638 --> 00:24:58,554
-It's okay, I mean… Ow!
-[Lexis' indistinct chatter]

540
00:24:58,588 --> 00:24:59,538
[audience gasps]

541
00:24:59,571 --> 00:25:00,938
-[Booker T] That was an accident.
-[Vic] I…

542
00:25:00,971 --> 00:25:02,054
That was an accident.

543
00:25:02,088 --> 00:25:04,338
[Vic] I agree with you.
That was inadvertent from Lexis.

544
00:25:04,371 --> 00:25:05,588
-Hey--
-[audience jeers loudly]

545
00:25:07,538 --> 00:25:08,371
[Vic] He--

546
00:25:08,405 --> 00:25:11,105
-No, no, it wasn't an accident, Booker.
-[Booker T] Oh, yeah!

547
00:25:12,338 --> 00:25:13,871
-[Booker T] What are you talking about?
-[Vic] Oh, come on, what do you mean?

548
00:25:13,905 --> 00:25:14,804
He's--

549
00:25:14,838 --> 00:25:15,788
[Booker T] There it is.

550
00:25:15,821 --> 00:25:18,804
Side riding roll, baby, side riding roll!

551
00:25:18,838 --> 00:25:20,421
-[Vic] The Coronation.
-[audience] One! Two!

552
00:25:20,455 --> 00:25:23,155
-Three!
-[Vic] And King cheats to win.

553
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:24,121
-[Booker T] How smart…
-[Vic] He cheated!

554
00:25:24,155 --> 00:25:25,521
[Booker T] How smart is this guy?

555
00:25:25,554 --> 00:25:26,388
How smart is he?

556
00:25:26,421 --> 00:25:27,638
[Mike] Here is your winner,

557
00:25:27,671 --> 00:25:30,504
-Lexis King!
-[Booker T] Can we feel…

558
00:25:30,538 --> 00:25:32,304
Ah, can we feel that?

559
00:25:32,338 --> 00:25:33,288
-[Vic] No!
-[Booker T] Can we feel that?

560
00:25:33,321 --> 00:25:37,054
[Vic] He is like a snake
in the grass, steals this match.

561
00:25:37,088 --> 00:25:39,221
-[Booker T] That snakes will bite you!
-[Vic] And just when you think

562
00:25:39,254 --> 00:25:42,804
he couldn't get
any lower as a human being.

563
00:25:43,338 --> 00:25:45,004
He goes and does that!

564
00:25:45,038 --> 00:25:46,705
[Booker T laughs]

565
00:25:46,738 --> 00:25:48,238
I have to do this 2-on-1.

566
00:25:48,271 --> 00:25:50,254
-I don't know what to do.
-Wren, you're ready?

567
00:25:50,288 --> 00:25:52,271
No. How the hell did this happen, Charles?

568
00:25:52,304 --> 00:25:54,438
I can't go out there
and face Izzi and Tatum.

569
00:25:54,471 --> 00:25:56,321
I don't even have a partner.

570
00:25:56,355 --> 00:25:58,688
-You'll be…
-How are you so calm right now?

571
00:25:58,721 --> 00:26:00,054
Wren, relax.

572
00:26:00,088 --> 00:26:02,321
You're gonna be fine.
I've got all the confidence in the world.

573
00:26:02,355 --> 00:26:03,521
-You're gonna get the job done!
-And why do you have that?

574
00:26:03,554 --> 00:26:04,571
Why do you have that?

575
00:26:04,605 --> 00:26:06,738
Because I found you a partner.

576
00:26:06,771 --> 00:26:07,688
-What?
-Oh, yeah!

577
00:26:09,004 --> 00:26:10,088
Kendal Grey?

578
00:26:10,121 --> 00:26:11,221
And I find her great.

579
00:26:11,254 --> 00:26:12,388
-Look, Kendal…
-She is.

580
00:26:12,421 --> 00:26:14,455
She impressed me
a few weeks ago with her match.

581
00:26:14,488 --> 00:26:17,254
I mean, she put on the best arm bar. Mm.

582
00:26:17,288 --> 00:26:20,121
-Debatable, but she has potential.
-We'll work on it.

583
00:26:20,155 --> 00:26:21,088
Sure, sure.

584
00:26:21,121 --> 00:26:22,521
And me and her had a talk last week.

585
00:26:22,554 --> 00:26:25,905
And, well, she's opened her ears
and she's willing to listen to a true pro.

586
00:26:25,938 --> 00:26:28,021
Yeah. No, I never said that.

587
00:26:28,054 --> 00:26:29,955
-Yes, you did.
-Actually, no, I didn't.

588
00:26:29,988 --> 00:26:32,254
-I said I was gonna help Wren, though.
-That works for me.

589
00:26:32,288 --> 00:26:33,855
So let's go kick their asses, okay?

590
00:26:33,888 --> 00:26:34,721
-Let's!
-Go!

591
00:26:35,621 --> 00:26:37,221
-[gasps]
-[Kendal] Come on, let's go!

592
00:26:38,455 --> 00:26:40,021
All right. She can shop.

593
00:26:40,054 --> 00:26:41,054
Wait for me, ladies.

594
00:26:44,071 --> 00:26:45,921
[Wren Sinclair's theme playing]

595
00:26:50,671 --> 00:26:51,504
[bell dinging]

596
00:26:52,504 --> 00:26:57,921
[Mike] The following contest is
a Tag Team match scheduled for one fall.

597
00:26:57,955 --> 00:27:01,205
Introducing first,
the team of Kendal Grey

598
00:27:01,238 --> 00:27:05,121
and Wren Sinclair!

599
00:27:05,155 --> 00:27:06,938
[audience cheering]

600
00:27:08,621 --> 00:27:09,455
You got this!

601
00:27:10,655 --> 00:27:12,571
[audience cheering]

602
00:27:22,888 --> 00:27:24,905
[Vic] Wren Sinclair said
that even though,

603
00:27:24,938 --> 00:27:27,121
well, we heard from Charlie Dempsey,

604
00:27:27,155 --> 00:27:30,188
it was Kendal Grey
who said she is here for Wren.

605
00:27:31,038 --> 00:27:32,338
[Booker T] Yeah, I like that. I mean,

606
00:27:32,921 --> 00:27:34,155
with Sinclair and…

607
00:27:35,004 --> 00:27:37,955
-they could make a good team together.
-[man] Truth will ultimately prevail.

608
00:27:39,504 --> 00:27:42,455
-But there is pain bringing it to light.
-[Booker T] Yeah!

609
00:27:47,188 --> 00:27:49,288
[The Culling's theme playing]

610
00:28:00,521 --> 00:28:03,804
[Mike] And their opponents,
representing The Culling,

611
00:28:04,705 --> 00:28:06,188
Tatum Paxley,

612
00:28:06,221 --> 00:28:09,121
and Izzi Dame!

613
00:28:09,155 --> 00:28:10,655
[audience cheering]

614
00:28:11,371 --> 00:28:17,955
[Vic] Just look at how Tatum stares
at Izzi, as Spears and Niko look on.

615
00:28:37,738 --> 00:28:40,155
Tag Team action right now still to come.

616
00:28:40,188 --> 00:28:42,504
A massive Six-Woman Main Event,

617
00:28:42,538 --> 00:28:44,438
Fatal Influence will face Lola Vice,

618
00:28:44,471 --> 00:28:47,071
the No.1 Contender
to the NXT Women's Championship,

619
00:28:47,105 --> 00:28:51,638
Sol Ruca, who is the only double champ now
in NXT and Zaria,

620
00:28:51,671 --> 00:28:53,671
that again,
our Main Event here tonight.

621
00:28:53,705 --> 00:28:56,671
But for what it's worth,
Wren has every right in the world

622
00:28:56,705 --> 00:28:58,054
to be upset with Charlie Dempsey.

623
00:28:58,088 --> 00:29:00,838
Put her in this matchup,
cause unnecessary worry.

624
00:29:00,871 --> 00:29:03,105
Thankfully, Kendal Grey
stepped up to the plate,

625
00:29:03,138 --> 00:29:05,488
[Booker T] You know what he did, Charlie
Dempsey is in a bad place right now.

626
00:29:05,521 --> 00:29:06,788
I mean, he and Tavion…

627
00:29:06,821 --> 00:29:08,655
losing my… the breakup.

628
00:29:08,688 --> 00:29:12,304
I mean, he's trying to put it all
back together here tonight.

629
00:29:12,338 --> 00:29:13,804
-Come on, man.
-[Vic] Look at Kendal Grey.

630
00:29:13,838 --> 00:29:16,388
-Picking up and… Boom!
-[Booker T] Oh, yeah!

631
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:21,121
[Vic] Charlie is a hard man to impress,
but Kendal Grey's impressed Dempsey,

632
00:29:21,155 --> 00:29:22,671
and this duo is working well.

633
00:29:22,705 --> 00:29:25,221
Wren into the cover
and a quick, quick kick out.

634
00:29:26,504 --> 00:29:29,105
Charlie, though, learned nothing
about his coaching approach, though,

635
00:29:29,138 --> 00:29:30,838
he just seems to push people away…

636
00:29:30,871 --> 00:29:31,888
And Tatum Paxley jumps in.

637
00:29:31,921 --> 00:29:33,554
[Booker T] What has Charlie
done wrong and everything?

638
00:29:33,588 --> 00:29:35,804
Teaching these guys
how to go out there and win.

639
00:29:35,838 --> 00:29:37,488
Who owes it to them?
Tell me that, tell me!

640
00:29:37,521 --> 00:29:38,838
[Vic] He pushed away Myles Borne…

641
00:29:38,871 --> 00:29:40,238
-Nice kick by Wren Sinclair.
-[Booker T] How did he do that?

642
00:29:40,271 --> 00:29:41,754
[Vic] He pushed away Tavion Heights.

643
00:29:41,788 --> 00:29:43,321
They wanted to leave him.
They wanted to get away.

644
00:29:43,355 --> 00:29:44,754
[Booker T] I think those guys
just want to be on their own.

645
00:29:44,788 --> 00:29:46,421
I think that's what they want.

646
00:29:46,455 --> 00:29:48,988
[Vic] And a kick out.
If he didn't find Grey, who knows?

647
00:29:49,588 --> 00:29:51,888
Who knows who Wren Sinclair's
Tag Team partner would be?

648
00:29:51,921 --> 00:29:53,738
She was heading in here
thinking it was gonna be a 2-on-1

649
00:29:53,771 --> 00:29:55,804
Handicap match
against Tatum and Izzi,

650
00:29:55,838 --> 00:29:57,004
and Izzi checks back in.

651
00:29:57,038 --> 00:29:58,271
[Booker T] She was brave
trying to decide, man,

652
00:29:58,304 --> 00:29:59,638
trying to get the spotlight.

653
00:29:59,671 --> 00:30:03,355
And she's gonna need somebody
like Charlie Dempsey to work some magic.

654
00:30:03,388 --> 00:30:04,688
Look at her now. Look at her now.

655
00:30:04,721 --> 00:30:05,804
She's in a tag match.

656
00:30:05,838 --> 00:30:07,838
[Vic] As I mentioned earlier,
there's our Six-Woman

657
00:30:07,871 --> 00:30:09,821
Tag Team matchup still to come tonight.

658
00:30:10,504 --> 00:30:17,004
As this thing already breaking down
as The Culling is not breaking the rules.

659
00:30:17,038 --> 00:30:19,421
[Booker T] Really creative
by Tatum Paxley, man.

660
00:30:19,455 --> 00:30:21,905
[Vic] And how cold and
calculated has Izzi become?

661
00:30:21,938 --> 00:30:24,571
She's really following
the footsteps of Shawn Spears.

662
00:30:25,488 --> 00:30:27,938
[Booker T] When you talk about Izzi Dame,
press the button, man,

663
00:30:27,971 --> 00:30:29,321
because she's about to blow up,

664
00:30:29,355 --> 00:30:30,471

[indistinct shout]

666
00:30:31,571 --> 00:30:34,288
[Vic] Now, Tatum Paxley certainly
has found a home

667
00:30:34,321 --> 00:30:36,288
in The Culling,
and The Culling obviously

668
00:30:36,321 --> 00:30:39,054
will have their eyes on that Main Event
we talked about with those six women.

669
00:30:39,088 --> 00:30:44,921
Because gold is on the mind of Izzi Dame,
gold could be on the mind of Tatum Paxley.

670
00:30:44,955 --> 00:30:49,804
Paxley was so close to winning
the North American Title a few weeks ago.

671
00:30:49,838 --> 00:30:53,221
Shawn Spears, of course, remember,
tried to insert himself in the doll

672
00:30:53,254 --> 00:30:54,405
that is in his pocket,

673
00:30:54,438 --> 00:30:56,771
-but it was Izzi Dame who said take it…
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!

674
00:30:56,804 --> 00:30:59,155
…on her own merit, almost getting a tag.

675
00:30:59,188 --> 00:31:00,488
Reaching out, couldn't get there.

676
00:31:00,521 --> 00:31:03,788
[Booker T] Easy to overlook… Oh!
So easy to overlook the in-ring power

677
00:31:03,821 --> 00:31:05,504
of Tatum Paxley,

678
00:31:05,538 --> 00:31:07,754
because of the exterior…
you see the loud colors,

679
00:31:07,788 --> 00:31:09,638
but she's a hell of a talent.

680
00:31:09,671 --> 00:31:10,688
[Vic] And here comes Kendal Grey.

681
00:31:10,721 --> 00:31:13,621
And how much potential
do you see personally,

682
00:31:13,655 --> 00:31:14,788
-in Kendal Grey.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!

683
00:31:14,821 --> 00:31:16,605
-[Vic] Just hit that belly to belly.
-[Booker T] No, technically,

684
00:31:16,638 --> 00:31:19,938
she has upside major potential, man,

685
00:31:19,971 --> 00:31:22,938
but she's still learning this game
on the job training.

686
00:31:22,971 --> 00:31:24,221
But she looks good.

687
00:31:24,254 --> 00:31:25,371
She looks very good.

688
00:31:25,405 --> 00:31:27,905
[Vic] Unprecedented amateur record.

689
00:31:27,938 --> 00:31:29,288
Nice double stomp.

690
00:31:29,321 --> 00:31:30,554
But in comes Izzi.

691
00:31:30,588 --> 00:31:33,121
-Just got drop on a flatliner.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!

692
00:31:33,155 --> 00:31:34,971
Look at Kendal's great go.

693
00:31:35,004 --> 00:31:36,788
-I can say, make it…
-[Vic] Oh!

694
00:31:36,821 --> 00:31:39,471
[Booker T] Got caught right there.
Got caught watching the paint dry.

695
00:31:39,504 --> 00:31:40,955
[Vic] A tag was made.

696
00:31:40,988 --> 00:31:45,521
Wren Sinclair is now legal, Wren floating
right over, double under hook suplex.

697
00:31:45,554 --> 00:31:47,521
I thought I was gonna be able
to float over into the cover.

698
00:31:47,554 --> 00:31:50,538
Tatum, though, popping right back up,
getting hoisted up,

699
00:31:50,571 --> 00:31:52,738
able to slide down and then… Whoa!

700
00:31:52,771 --> 00:31:55,405
Face first, went Wren right into the knee,

701
00:31:56,271 --> 00:31:58,554
and Tatum, quickly, wisely looking for…

702
00:31:59,938 --> 00:32:01,638
Izzi just tagged herself in,

703
00:32:01,671 --> 00:32:05,605
Tatum seemed a little perplexed,
but there comes the power game.

704
00:32:05,638 --> 00:32:06,871
[Booker T] Oh, baby!

705
00:32:06,905 --> 00:32:08,638
[Vic] Tatum had to save the match.

706
00:32:08,671 --> 00:32:11,388
[Booker T] Look who right there,
in the nick of time. Tatum Paxley!

707
00:32:11,421 --> 00:32:14,304
[Vic] It certainly was,
and Paxley just got caught.

708
00:32:14,338 --> 00:32:16,504
-[Booker T] Ooh, that was sweet!
-[Vic] Big boot by Izzi!

709
00:32:16,538 --> 00:32:19,155
-[Booker T] That was very sweet!
-[Vic] And she didn't save.

710
00:32:19,188 --> 00:32:20,121
She didn't save Tatum.

711
00:32:20,155 --> 00:32:22,088
-Instead, it's Dame.
-One! Two!

712
00:32:22,121 --> 00:32:23,371
-[Vic] Over!
-Three!

-[Vic] Shawn Spears is excited.

720
00:32:38,788 --> 00:32:45,504
The Culling shows just how
united and strong they really are.

721
00:32:55,004 --> 00:32:56,855
[Vic] Well, if you remember
how this night started,

722
00:32:56,888 --> 00:32:59,054
these two got into a verbal altercation.

723
00:32:59,088 --> 00:33:03,054
So who will be the No.1 Contender
for the NXT Title?

724
00:33:03,088 --> 00:33:05,254
Who will be next for Obafemi?

725
00:33:05,288 --> 00:33:08,388

730
00:33:23,038 --> 00:33:25,788
And our night, Booker,
started with these men arguing,

731
00:33:25,821 --> 00:33:26,938
now they are fighting.

732
00:33:26,971 --> 00:33:30,105

734

trying to make friends or anything

735
00:33:35,804 --> 00:33:39,071
and Ricky Saints looking to come up.
I like this, man.

736
00:33:39,105 --> 00:33:41,071
[Vic] Well, it was Briggs
who said he was done

737
00:33:41,105 --> 00:33:43,488
with outsiders getting special treatment.

738
00:33:43,521 --> 00:33:45,538
But how is Ricky an outsider?

739
00:33:45,571 --> 00:33:49,271
[Booker T] I mean, come on, he came here
on the hire, talent free agents,

740
00:33:49,304 --> 00:33:51,921
and he just walked in the door,
and within six months,

741
00:33:51,955 --> 00:33:55,138
he's former North American Champion.
Come on, Vic!

742
00:33:55,171 --> 00:33:59,471
So you blame Ricky for coming into
this company, becoming a champion,

743
00:33:59,504 --> 00:34:01,038
deserving that championship?

744
00:34:01,071 --> 00:34:02,938
[Booker T] I'm just answering
your question.

745
00:34:02,971 --> 00:34:05,504
-[Vic] Then answer this--
-Why do people hate Saints?

746
00:34:05,538 --> 00:34:07,605
-That's why they hate him.
-[Vic] Answer this one then.

747
00:34:07,638 --> 00:34:11,238
Saints has never received
an NXT Title or a World Title match.

748
00:34:11,271 --> 00:34:14,038
-[Booker T] You know why?
-Briggs has had two this summer.

749
00:34:14,071 --> 00:34:16,855
And Briggs just hit that bossman slam,
into the cover,

750
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:18,005
hook to the leg--

751
00:34:18,038 --> 00:34:21,554
[Booker T] Ricky Saints hasn't earned
an NXT Title shot yet.

752
00:34:21,588 --> 00:34:24,221
Maybe if he can get past
this big man, Josh Briggs,

753
00:34:24,255 --> 00:34:27,721
he can put himself in line,
but you don't just get title shots.

754
00:34:27,755 --> 00:34:30,721
They're not just thrown out like that.
Come on, Vic!

755
00:34:30,755 --> 00:34:32,904
It has been for Josh Briggs
this summer who's been--

756
00:34:32,938 --> 00:34:36,471
[Booker T] Two tiny shots.
Two tiny shots in how many years?

757
00:34:36,505 --> 00:34:39,454
-[Vic] Whose fault is that, Book?
-[Booker T] You threw it out there.

758
00:34:39,488 --> 00:34:41,988
[Vic] When does Briggs look in the mirror
for his own failures?

759
00:34:42,021 --> 00:34:45,188
That's something I've asked you.
He seems to always have an excuse.

760
00:34:45,221 --> 00:34:48,105
He seems to always have
someone else to blame.

761
00:34:48,138 --> 00:34:50,238
[Booker T] Big shot there by the big man.

762
00:34:50,271 --> 00:34:53,521
Let me tell you something. Josh Briggs is,
right now, he's got the right attitude.

763
00:34:53,554 --> 00:34:55,071
He's thinking about himself.

764
00:34:55,105 --> 00:34:58,971
Of course, he's burned a lot of bridges,
but that's the way it is sometimes.

765
00:34:59,005 --> 00:35:03,321
[Vic] Let me ask you this, then. Is this
the attitude Briggs should have had maybe…

766
00:35:03,355 --> 00:35:06,138
-maybe two years ago?
-[Booker T] I think so.

767
00:35:06,171 --> 00:35:09,988
But, you know, burning the bridges,
you know, I would suggest not doing that.

768
00:35:10,021 --> 00:35:13,771
But this guy, he has
a mean, mean attitude,

769
00:35:13,805 --> 00:35:16,255
and right now,
he's using it to go out there

770
00:35:16,288 --> 00:35:18,505
and put himself in line four times.
I love it.

771
00:35:18,538 --> 00:35:20,921
[Vic] Both these men
were victorious in Philadelphia.

of Heatwave between Oba and Saints?

-[Vic] …to see the interaction.
-Look at the balance.

stepping up to Oba Femi like that,

-[Booker T] Let me tell you.

808

right there, going out the back door.

the NXT Universe starting to rally behind

812

to face the Champion?

from our Main Event in Heatwave,

watching this match, does he not?

823
00:37:55,171 --> 00:37:58,505
He's got to be so eager
to figure out who he's about to face.

824
00:37:59,288 --> 00:38:01,971
[Booker T] Oba's had to defend ten times
that championship.

825
00:38:02,005 --> 00:38:03,321
He's gone out there and done that.

826
00:38:03,355 --> 00:38:05,771
And we always talk about,
it's not the war,

827
00:38:05,805 --> 00:38:07,788
it's how many wars
you've got to put yourself through,

828
00:38:07,821 --> 00:38:09,538
and that's what he's gonna
have to think about.

829
00:38:09,571 --> 00:38:13,071
Which one of these young men right here
may have a chance at Oba Femi?

830
00:38:13,105 --> 00:38:16,188
-So he better be watching.
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa. Ricky…

831
00:38:17,471 --> 00:38:21,338
-This time able to slide in safe at home.
-[Booker T] Very smart by Ricky Saints.

832
00:38:22,005 --> 00:38:24,721
Right now, I'm gonna say,
he's been using his noodle all night.

833
00:38:24,755 --> 00:38:27,588
You can tell he came into this match
with a game plan.

834
00:38:27,621 --> 00:38:30,721
[Vic] Yeah, he used his noodle,
and now he's using his right hand

835
00:38:30,755 --> 00:38:34,571
trying to chop down
the much larger Josh Briggs.

836
00:38:34,605 --> 00:38:36,855
Welts forming
on the body of Briggs right now

837
00:38:36,888 --> 00:38:39,688
as Saints trying to turn
the momentum around in this match-up,

838
00:38:39,721 --> 00:38:42,538
boxes right back in and just rocks Briggs.

839
00:38:42,571 --> 00:38:45,005
Briggs still on his feet,
hit him again for a second time.

840
00:38:45,038 --> 00:38:47,138
-Briggs still not down.
-[Booker T] Keep chopping him.

841
00:38:47,171 --> 00:38:49,338
[Vic] Ricky, third time.
Will it be the charm?

842
00:38:49,371 --> 00:38:51,255
-He gets Briggs down.
-[Booker T] There it is.

843
00:38:51,288 --> 00:38:53,988
Beautiful big fly there, baby.

844
00:38:54,021 --> 00:38:56,105
-[Vic] Does he have enough to stop him?
-Oh!

845
00:38:56,138 --> 00:38:58,705
-[Vic] Oh, looks like he does!
-What the hell!

846
00:38:58,738 --> 00:39:02,438
-[Vic] Michinoku Driver for the win--
-[crowd] One, two--

847
00:39:02,471 --> 00:39:03,438
[Vic] A kick-out.

848
00:39:04,521 --> 00:39:08,388
I wonder, is he able to do that to Oba
if he gets to Fort Lauderdale.

849
00:39:09,404 --> 00:39:11,821
I'm glad you brought up Oba
and all those battles,

850
00:39:11,855 --> 00:39:13,371
because it's got to be wearing on him.

851
00:39:13,404 --> 00:39:15,838
Every single time he wins,
he turns around,

852
00:39:15,871 --> 00:39:17,738
there's a new challenger
right in his face.

853
00:39:17,771 --> 00:39:20,805
[Booker T] You know, there's no off days
here in the WWE.

854
00:39:20,838 --> 00:39:22,788
You got to go out there
and defend that championship

855
00:39:22,821 --> 00:39:25,838
just about on a monthly basis.
Oba's doing a hell of a job.

856
00:39:25,871 --> 00:39:28,238
But how many more can he go through?
That's the question.

857
00:39:28,838 --> 00:39:30,221
[Vic] That punch didn't connect.

858
00:39:31,171 --> 00:39:34,538
-Briggs… Oh!
-[Booker T] Oh! Right on the chin!

859
00:39:34,571 --> 00:39:35,871
He could be out.

860
00:39:35,904 --> 00:39:37,788
[Vic] He might not be worried
about his right hand,

861
00:39:37,821 --> 00:39:39,621
he might be worried about his jaw.

862
00:39:39,654 --> 00:39:41,721
-[crowd cheering]
-[Booker T] Ricky Saints.

863
00:39:41,755 --> 00:39:44,205
-[Vic] Pulling himself to the top.
-Going to the top rope.

864
00:39:44,238 --> 00:39:46,021
Got caught.

865
00:39:46,055 --> 00:39:48,355
[Vic] Got to give credit to Briggs.
Briggs has had an answer

866
00:39:48,388 --> 00:39:50,005
to everything here tonight.

867
00:39:50,038 --> 00:39:55,205
These two certainly have had
quite the fight here on NXT tonight,

868
00:39:55,238 --> 00:39:58,121
live from the Performance Center
in Orlando.

869
00:39:58,154 --> 00:40:01,821
[Booker T] You know, Briggs is
very comfortable on that top rope as well.

870
00:40:01,855 --> 00:40:03,105
Oh, yes!

871
00:40:03,138 --> 00:40:06,138
[Vic] Remember that big moonsault
in Philadelphia, through the table?

872
00:40:06,171 --> 00:40:08,288
-[Booker T] Exactly my point.
-Whoa!

873
00:40:08,321 --> 00:40:10,138
-Oh!
-[Booker T] Oh, my God!

874
00:40:10,171 --> 00:40:11,605
[Vic] Nice offense.

875
00:40:11,638 --> 00:40:15,721
Innovative backbreaker followed up
with that big size 16

876
00:40:15,755 --> 00:40:19,071
again to the side of the face
to become the No. 1 Contender.

877
00:40:20,455 --> 00:40:22,038
[Booker T] Don't waste any time, Briggs.

878
00:40:22,071 --> 00:40:24,605
-[Vic] Again, there was not a lot.
-Let me tell you something.

879
00:40:24,638 --> 00:40:26,904
This could be Big Josh Briggs' moment.

880
00:40:26,938 --> 00:40:29,521
Took a big shot right to the temple.

881
00:40:30,921 --> 00:40:32,521
[Booker T] Thought that was a three-count.

882
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:36,654
[Vic] It wasn't enough to put Saints away.

883
00:40:36,688 --> 00:40:39,271
[crowd chanting] Ricky Strokes!
Ricky Strokes!

884
00:40:39,305 --> 00:40:42,921
[Vic] Booker, Ricky may need more
in the NXT Universe here tonight

885
00:40:42,955 --> 00:40:46,505
to put Briggs down,
and Briggs now going for broke,

886
00:40:46,538 --> 00:40:50,271
trying to hit a massive chokeslam,
counter, though, as Saints…

887
00:40:52,105 --> 00:40:54,555
Saints connected with that
step-up enzuigiri again.

888
00:40:54,588 --> 00:40:56,904
-[Booker T] Beautiful combination.
-Whoa!

889
00:40:56,938 --> 00:40:58,955
-[Booker T] No way he's going to do that.
-No way.

890
00:40:58,988 --> 00:41:02,005
Ah, Briggs is too… Too much-- Left spear!

891
00:41:02,805 --> 00:41:07,205
[Booker T] Beautiful rebound right there
by Ricky Saints, and he's going up top.

892
00:41:07,238 --> 00:41:12,021
[Vic] The Revolution looking to continue
to the top, and, oh.

893
00:41:12,055 --> 00:41:14,671
[Booker T] Uh-oh, nobody home.

894
00:41:14,705 --> 00:41:16,421
Josh is looking to finish this thing.

895
00:41:16,455 --> 00:41:18,838
Coup d'etat! Coup d'etat!

896
00:41:18,871 --> 00:41:21,438
Oh, yeah! Send it home!

897
00:41:21,471 --> 00:41:24,988
[Vic] Chokeslam
to head to Fort Lauderdale--

898
00:41:25,021 --> 00:41:26,371
[crowd cheering]

899
00:41:26,404 --> 00:41:29,154
[Vic] That was again close.

900
00:41:29,188 --> 00:41:32,355
Almost, you have to say,
on instinct, pure instinct,

901
00:41:32,388 --> 00:41:34,238
Ricky Saints was able to kick out.

902
00:41:34,271 --> 00:41:36,888
[Booker T] Instinctual kick-out
right there by Ricky Saints.

903
00:41:36,921 --> 00:41:40,821
I'm telling you, the referee almost
came down with that final count,

904
00:41:40,855 --> 00:41:43,404
but Ricky, he felt it more than anything.

905
00:41:43,438 --> 00:41:46,588
[Vic] Booker, but doesn't Briggs
have a sense of urgency maybe right now?

906
00:41:46,621 --> 00:41:49,388
-[Booker T] I think so. One more big shot.
-[crowd] This is awesome!

907
00:41:49,421 --> 00:41:51,855
[Booker T] I think that's all
it's gonna take to put Saints down.

908
00:41:51,888 --> 00:41:53,904
Separate him from his senses.

909
00:41:53,938 --> 00:41:57,471
And this could be it right here.
That Big Devil did go back!

910
00:41:57,505 --> 00:42:00,571
-Oh, he missed it.
-[Vic] Saints sensed it.

911
00:42:00,605 --> 00:42:02,805
-And now, Saints going back to work.
-[Briggs groans]

912
00:42:03,371 --> 00:42:06,188
-[Vic] Oh, jeez.
-[Booker T] Ooh, right hand right there.

913
00:42:06,221 --> 00:42:08,088
[Vic] Yeah, but, oh, big elbow shot

914
00:42:08,121 --> 00:42:10,121
-right back into Saints.
-[Booker T] Beautiful.

915
00:42:10,154 --> 00:42:12,421
[Vic] The heavy hits coming out tonight.

916
00:42:12,455 --> 00:42:15,205
Saints again picking up some steam!

917
00:42:15,238 --> 00:42:16,605
Oh, nice counter.

918
00:42:17,471 --> 00:42:20,705
Saints on momentum, able to carry him up.

919
00:42:20,738 --> 00:42:22,138
-Game over.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!

920
00:42:22,171 --> 00:42:24,154
-[Vic] Tornado DDT!
-He got all of it.

921
00:42:25,221 --> 00:42:26,771
-[Vic] Just spiked Briggs!
-Briggs is out.

922
00:42:26,805 --> 00:42:28,654
-Briggs is out.
-[Vic] Into the cover.

923
00:42:28,688 --> 00:42:29,838
-[Booker T] Whoa!
-[bell dings]

924
00:42:29,871 --> 00:42:33,705
-[Vic] Saints is headed to No Mercy.
-[Booker T] Wow!

925
00:42:33,738 --> 00:42:35,404
[ring announcer] Here is your winner,

926
00:42:35,438 --> 00:42:40,621
and the new No. 1 Contender
to the NXT Championship,

927
00:42:40,654 --> 00:42:44,471
Ricky Saints!

928
00:42:44,505 --> 00:42:48,538
[Vic] You've got to tell me and believe
Saints earned his spot.

929
00:42:49,071 --> 00:42:51,605
[Booker T] He really earned his spot
with that tornado

930
00:42:51,638 --> 00:42:53,638
right into that beautiful DDT.

931
00:42:53,671 --> 00:42:56,438
Set Briggs up for the big one, two, three,

932
00:42:56,471 --> 00:42:59,805
and, boom, there it is,
the No. 1 Contender.

933
00:42:59,838 --> 00:43:03,171
[Vic] Fighting through the adversity
was Ricky Saints.

934
00:43:03,205 --> 00:43:07,455
And now, you can mark your calendar.
Get ready, Fort Lauderdale,

935
00:43:07,488 --> 00:43:10,455
get the Revolution
and the Reign of a Ruler.

936
00:43:10,488 --> 00:43:15,121
Who will show no mercy?
Who will be NXT Champion?

937
00:43:16,671 --> 00:43:19,888
…lash mascara,
it literally stays on all day, Sol.

938
00:43:19,921 --> 00:43:21,638
-Hang on, is that Maybelline?
-Yeah.

939
00:43:21,671 --> 00:43:23,738
-Let me try some.
-Let me put it on you.

940
00:43:23,771 --> 00:43:26,505
-Thank you.
-How are you guys feeling about tonight?

941
00:43:26,538 --> 00:43:29,355
-This is the dream team, baby.
-Dude, I know, right?

942
00:43:29,388 --> 00:43:31,805
We are going to be snatching
three Sols tonight,

943
00:43:31,838 --> 00:43:36,121
which is why I made you a little
something, Lola. Something to match us.

944
00:43:36,154 --> 00:43:38,071
-"Vice City!"
-Oh, my God, that's so cute!

945
00:43:38,105 --> 00:43:40,455
-I love it. Thank you, guys.
-Of course.

946
00:43:40,955 --> 00:43:44,455
And now that we look like a real team,
I cannot wait to rub another loss--

947
00:43:44,488 --> 00:43:46,754
-Lola, can I talk to you?
-Don't start. I already beat you.

948
00:43:46,788 --> 00:43:50,105
Relax. Relax. It's not like that.
Not this time.

949
00:43:50,138 --> 00:43:52,921
I'm just really here to give you
your props because you did your thing

950
00:43:52,955 --> 00:43:54,355
at Heatwave. I'm very proud of you.

951
00:43:54,388 --> 00:43:55,538
Wow. Thanks.

952
00:43:55,571 --> 00:43:57,588
-You're welcome. I was wondering--
-[Lash] Oh, hell no!

953
00:43:57,621 --> 00:43:58,938
Do I have a tracker?

954
00:43:58,971 --> 00:44:00,771
Not Jaida Parker getting soft.

955
00:44:00,805 --> 00:44:03,171
I guess taking all those Ls
really humbled your ass, huh?

956
00:44:03,205 --> 00:44:04,938
Hmm. I don't know, Lash.

957
00:44:04,971 --> 00:44:07,538
Nia Jax whooped your ass
and you still not humbled.

958
00:44:07,571 --> 00:44:09,871
You delulu to think
that you can hang with me.

959
00:44:09,904 --> 00:44:12,221
Jaida Parker, don't play like that.

960
00:44:12,254 --> 00:44:15,621
He knows what's up. Damn.

961
00:44:15,654 --> 00:44:18,538
-Perfect in every way.
-Imma be sick.

962
00:44:20,921 --> 00:44:22,904
That's making me look weak.

963
00:44:22,938 --> 00:44:24,638
Well, now you're making fun of me.

964
00:44:27,721 --> 00:44:29,471
[crowd chanting] Ricky! Ricky!

965
00:44:30,221 --> 00:44:33,171
Oba Femi! I'm coming for you, man.

966
00:44:34,888 --> 00:44:35,805
Don't forget it.

967
00:44:36,438 --> 00:44:37,838
[music changes]

968
00:44:41,805 --> 00:44:45,471
[Vic] Well, we may have a six-woman
main event still to come,

969
00:44:45,504 --> 00:44:51,688
but Oba is here, about to come face
to face with the number one Contender.

970
00:44:57,121 --> 00:44:58,321
Oba Femi.

971
00:44:59,638 --> 00:45:01,771
Wow, in the flesh.

972
00:45:02,305 --> 00:45:06,821
You know, people have told me that
for as long as you've been NXT champion,

973
00:45:06,855 --> 00:45:08,638
it's starting to wear down on you.

974
00:45:08,671 --> 00:45:11,238
And, you know, I kind of start
to believe it after the fact

975
00:45:11,271 --> 00:45:14,321
that you barely made it
out of Heatwave this Sunday.

976
00:45:14,355 --> 00:45:15,988
[crowd booing]

977
00:45:16,021 --> 00:45:16,938
But!

978
00:45:17,771 --> 00:45:22,154
I must say, The Ruler,
everything comes to an end.

979
00:45:22,188 --> 00:45:24,605
You can't be The Ruler forever.

980
00:45:25,921 --> 00:45:28,004
September 27, Sunday.

981
00:45:28,038 --> 00:45:30,188
No Mercy. I want you to look into my eyes,

982
00:45:30,221 --> 00:45:32,855
the same eyes that you said
you didn't see anything,

983
00:45:32,888 --> 00:45:36,371
look a little bit harder
because I am the man

984
00:45:36,404 --> 00:45:42,571
that is going to absolutely end
the terror and reign of you, Oba Femi.

985
00:45:44,471 --> 00:45:45,705
[scattered cheering]

986
00:45:49,871 --> 00:45:50,788
Ricky.

987
00:45:51,638 --> 00:45:55,154
I made a mistake
when I said I saw nothing.

988
00:45:56,071 --> 00:45:56,988
I lied.

989
00:45:57,888 --> 00:46:00,688
I see fear in your eyes.

990
00:46:01,638 --> 00:46:03,955
But anyways, they call you the Absolute.

991
00:46:05,071 --> 00:46:06,555
So congratulations.

992
00:46:06,588 --> 00:46:09,605
Now your career is going
to be taken to new heights.

993
00:46:09,638 --> 00:46:13,788
Like you said, September 27, No Mercy.

994
00:46:13,821 --> 00:46:16,138
You and I have a date
with destiny, my friend.

995
00:46:16,938 --> 00:46:22,105
Because on that day, I am going
to show you that you are not special.

996
00:46:22,671 --> 00:46:26,988
Because when you stand across from me,
you become an ordinary man.

997
00:46:27,805 --> 00:46:29,705
Because that is what The Ruler does.

998
00:46:30,221 --> 00:46:36,438
When people challenge me, I start to show
them the true levels of their own talent.

999
00:46:37,638 --> 00:46:40,588
I make the exceptional, average.

1000
00:46:41,605 --> 00:46:47,788
And in your case, I'm going to make
the Absolute absolutely mediocre.

1001
00:46:50,955 --> 00:46:52,738
[music playing]

1002
00:46:52,771 --> 00:46:54,038
[Vic] No! Book…

1003
00:46:56,805 --> 00:46:58,004
[Booker] Hold the phone.

1004
00:47:00,555 --> 00:47:02,355
It's about to get busy.

1005
00:47:06,688 --> 00:47:07,921
Hey, Oba.

1006
00:47:07,955 --> 00:47:10,221
Ricky, we're gonna cut
all this out right now.

1007
00:47:10,254 --> 00:47:13,888
Y'all keep yapping back and forth
about who's gonna be directing NXT,

1008
00:47:13,921 --> 00:47:15,938
when Darkstate leading the way now.

1009
00:47:15,971 --> 00:47:19,488
And if y'all start winning these Tag
Titles means that we content,

1010
00:47:19,521 --> 00:47:22,271
then you really must not know
what Darkstate is about.

1011
00:47:22,771 --> 00:47:26,871
Man, I don't even know what y'all doing
in our ring, so I'll give you two options.

1012
00:47:26,904 --> 00:47:29,088
You can either leave
or catch this beatdown,

1013
00:47:29,121 --> 00:47:30,338
we'll make y'all leave.

1014
00:47:31,438 --> 00:47:35,288
Hey, Oba, you can tell Ricky how it feels
to catch a Darkstate beatdown, bro.

1015
00:47:36,321 --> 00:47:39,788
Or y'all can ask Hank and Tank
if they ain't still getting

1016
00:47:39,821 --> 00:47:42,888
scraped off the mat
after what we did to them at Heatwave.

1017
00:47:44,055 --> 00:47:45,805
[Ricky] Well, you know what, boys?

1018
00:47:45,838 --> 00:47:48,004
Hey, I choose option two.
How about that?

1019
00:47:48,038 --> 00:47:50,888
-[Vic] Watch out, Book.
-[Shugars] Bad move.

1020
00:47:50,921 --> 00:47:52,221
[Booker] Oh, here we go!

1021
00:47:52,254 --> 00:47:55,471
-Here we go. Beatdown!
-[Vic] Seek and destroy!

1022
00:47:55,504 --> 00:47:58,571
The Tag Team Champions.

1023
00:47:58,605 --> 00:47:59,871
They want more.

1024
00:47:59,904 --> 00:48:01,571
[music playing]

1025
00:48:01,605 --> 00:48:04,288
-That's the former champions.
-[Booker] Wait a minute!

1026
00:48:04,321 --> 00:48:05,738
[Vic] They want redemption.

1027
00:48:05,771 --> 00:48:07,821
And the odds are now even.

1028
00:48:07,855 --> 00:48:09,821
Hand and Tank are here.

1029
00:48:09,855 --> 00:48:12,421
Oba's back to his feet. Saints is up.

1030
00:48:14,671 --> 00:48:18,138
Once again, all hell breaking loose.

1031
00:48:18,171 --> 00:48:20,238
[Booker] Darkstate's in trouble.

1032
00:48:23,571 --> 00:48:27,688
That's bad. I love this.
I love this action.

1033
00:48:30,571 --> 00:48:31,404
What now?

1034
00:48:32,904 --> 00:48:35,121
[Vic] Order trying to be restored.

1035
00:48:42,738 --> 00:48:45,355
[announcer] The WWE Speed Championship.

1036
00:48:45,388 --> 00:48:48,588
[Corey] WWE Universe! Buckle up!

1037
00:48:48,621 --> 00:48:52,305
[announcer] The fastest championship
in all of WWE.

1038
00:48:54,404 --> 00:48:58,988
Six superstars have had the need
for speed, but now, with the men's

1039
00:48:59,021 --> 00:49:03,188
and women's titles coming to NXT,
it's only getting faster.

1040
00:49:03,971 --> 00:49:07,254
There's not a second to waste
because you're fighting your opponent,

1041
00:49:07,288 --> 00:49:09,421
but you're also fighting the clock.

1042
00:49:09,455 --> 00:49:10,521
[buzzer sounds]

1043
00:49:10,555 --> 00:49:13,654
Championship matches
are five minutes in length,

1044
00:49:13,688 --> 00:49:19,271
but in order to gain a championship match,
you need to survive the speed tournament.

1045
00:49:19,305 --> 00:49:21,821
[Corey] Looking for the fast track
to the top.

1046
00:49:21,855 --> 00:49:25,355
[announcer] Two victories get you
a coveted speed title match.

1047
00:49:25,388 --> 00:49:28,721
But you have to be lightning quick
because those tournament matches

1048
00:49:28,754 --> 00:49:30,221
are only three minutes.

1049
00:49:30,254 --> 00:49:31,771
[Corey] It's gonna force superstars

1050
00:49:31,805 --> 00:49:34,355
out of their comfort zones,
trying to strategize.

1051
00:49:34,388 --> 00:49:37,721
[announcer] No time to think.
No time to feel the pressure.

1052
00:49:37,754 --> 00:49:41,221
It's full speed ahead.

1053
00:49:45,471 --> 00:49:47,621
As I announce the Heatwave,
the speed titles

1054
00:49:47,654 --> 00:49:51,421
are officially coming to NXT,
and Sol Ruca needs

1055
00:49:51,455 --> 00:49:54,621
a new number one contender
for her Speed Women's Championship.

1056
00:49:54,654 --> 00:49:57,488
So, beginning on September 2,
there's going to be a tournament

1057
00:49:57,521 --> 00:49:59,321
featuring the following competitors.

1058
00:49:59,988 --> 00:50:01,588
Candice LeRae from SmackDown.

1059
00:50:02,121 --> 00:50:08,521
NXT's Lainey Reid, Faby Apache
from AAA and TNA's Xia Brookside.

1060
00:50:08,555 --> 00:50:11,721
All of this kicks off next week
when Xia takes on Candice.

1061
00:50:11,754 --> 00:50:13,338
Whoever wins this tournament

1062
00:50:13,371 --> 00:50:17,555
will move on to face Sol for her Speed
Women's Championship at No Mercy.

1063
00:50:17,588 --> 00:50:18,555
Good luck, ladies.

1064
00:50:18,588 --> 00:50:20,671
[voice over speakers] Pledge
your allegiance…

1065
00:50:20,705 --> 00:50:24,571
[Corey] What another amazing decision
by our general manager.

1066
00:50:29,421 --> 00:50:30,788
[Vic] Why are you standing?

1067
00:50:33,088 --> 00:50:34,171
[Booker] Stand up!

1068
00:50:36,488 --> 00:50:37,404
Stand up, man!

1069
00:50:42,288 --> 00:50:43,121
[bell dinging]

1070
00:50:44,071 --> 00:50:48,021
[Mike] The following contest
is scheduled for one-fall,

1071
00:50:48,688 --> 00:50:52,455
making her way into the ring,
representing the Secret Hervice,

1072
00:50:53,004 --> 00:50:55,904
Alba Fyre!

1073
00:50:55,938 --> 00:50:58,921
[Vic] Now why did you just
take out a feathered pen?

1074
00:50:58,955 --> 00:51:00,671
Are you serious right now?

1075
00:51:00,705 --> 00:51:03,521
[Booker] Chelsea gave me
this as a gift. Okay?

1076
00:51:03,555 --> 00:51:05,071
-[Vic] A pen?
-[Booker] Yes.

1077
00:51:05,105 --> 00:51:07,438
-[Vic] That feather pen?
-[Booker] This feather pen.

1078
00:51:07,471 --> 00:51:10,838
[Corey] Well, Alba Fyre is gonna take
on Tyra Mae Steele.

1079
00:51:13,688 --> 00:51:16,071
It's live, it's next.

1080
00:51:16,105 --> 00:51:17,254
[Vic] Put the pen away.

1081
00:51:22,355 --> 00:51:24,105
[Corey] It's starting to shape up.

1082
00:51:24,138 --> 00:51:26,638
We learned moments ago that Ricky Saints

1083
00:51:26,671 --> 00:51:30,504
will face Oba Femi
for the NXT championship.

1084
00:51:30,538 --> 00:51:32,404
Who will show No Mercy?

1085
00:51:32,438 --> 00:51:36,788
Who will leave Fort Lauderdale
the NXT Champion?

1086
00:51:36,821 --> 00:51:42,888
[Vic] We learned this past Sunday
in Lowell that Lola will face Jacy Jayne

1087
00:51:42,921 --> 00:51:45,754
for the NXT Women's Championship.

1088
00:51:45,788 --> 00:51:49,871
Can Jacy withstand the Latina heat
in Fort Lauderdale?

1089
00:51:49,904 --> 00:51:53,055
We find out at No Mercy.

1090
00:52:02,821 --> 00:52:04,038
[Mike] And her opponent,

1091
00:52:04,638 --> 00:52:07,121
she's a winner LFG's season one,

1092
00:52:07,605 --> 00:52:13,055
Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele!

1093
00:52:18,471 --> 00:52:23,154
[Corey] Steele set for singles
competition here tonight, live,

1094
00:52:24,305 --> 00:52:25,221
on NXT.

1095
00:52:28,321 --> 00:52:30,988
Going one on one with Alba Fyre.

1096
00:52:31,021 --> 00:52:34,805
Steele, of course, looking for
a little redemption from this past Sunday.

1097
00:52:41,471 --> 00:52:44,588
[Vic] Booker, what advice would you have
for, not only Steele,

1098
00:52:44,621 --> 00:52:47,438
but also let's throw Tavion Heights
into this question,

1099
00:52:47,471 --> 00:52:51,355
after what went down this past Sunday
in Massachusetts

1100
00:52:51,388 --> 00:52:56,121
[Booker T] Yeah, not to make
the same mistake she made on Sunday

1101
00:52:56,154 --> 00:52:59,121
in Lowell is to slow it down
just a little bit.

1102
00:52:59,154 --> 00:53:01,855
This is pro wrestling.
There are levels to this game.

1103
00:53:01,888 --> 00:53:06,004
Imma tell you right now, Alba Fyre,
she's an assassin, man.

1104
00:53:06,038 --> 00:53:09,588
She's very deadly in the middle,
that reach, she's a weapon.

1105
00:53:10,321 --> 00:53:13,421
[Corey] Right now, it is Fyre mocking
Steele and with the Canadian standard

1106
00:53:13,455 --> 00:53:16,088
of excellence was victorious on Sunday.

1107
00:53:16,121 --> 00:53:18,671
The question is,
can they repeat that here tonight?

1108
00:53:19,254 --> 00:53:21,904
[Vic] All here at ringside,
being led by Chelsea Green

1109
00:53:21,938 --> 00:53:26,705
and the North American champion,
all ego, Ethan Page.

1110
00:53:26,738 --> 00:53:29,171
[Booker] I think so, Alba Fyre,
she's won championships…

1111
00:53:29,205 --> 00:53:31,455
Oh… [mumbles]

1112
00:53:31,488 --> 00:53:33,088
NXT Tag Team Championship,

1113
00:53:33,121 --> 00:53:36,504
you can't win women's champion?
That right there, that's a nugget.

1114
00:53:36,538 --> 00:53:38,171
That's a nugget right there.

1115
00:53:38,205 --> 00:53:41,421
[Vic] Fyre, at one point
was the forever champion in NXT UK

1116
00:53:41,455 --> 00:53:45,638
and right now she's being taken down,
rolled around and beaten down

1117
00:53:45,671 --> 00:53:50,254
by Tyra Mae Steele and was Sunday
a wakeup call of sorts for Steele?

1118
00:53:50,288 --> 00:53:53,404
[Booker] I think so,
because just like right now…

1119
00:53:53,438 --> 00:53:54,271
[Vic] Whoa!

1120
00:53:54,305 --> 00:53:56,705
-[Booker T] And then earlier…
-[Vic] Bow and arrow.

1121
00:53:56,738 --> 00:53:58,271
[Booker T] Later on she found it

1122
00:53:58,305 --> 00:54:02,038
and came up with the…
Tonight with the…

1123
00:54:02,071 --> 00:54:04,221
[Vic] I have to imagine
that the feeling of defeat

1124
00:54:04,254 --> 00:54:07,455
has been eating up Steele
over the last 48 hours.

1125
00:54:07,488 --> 00:54:09,288
But look, a lot can be learned

1126
00:54:09,321 --> 00:54:11,988
through defeat.
There's no education like adversity.

1127
00:54:12,021 --> 00:54:15,605
Steele's still adapting to a new world,
as you pointed out, right now,

1128
00:54:15,638 --> 00:54:18,871
looking for a German suplex
but nice back elbow by Alba Fyre.

1129
00:54:18,904 --> 00:54:22,488
[Booker] You got to know how to lose
and know how to win and Steele,

1130
00:54:22,521 --> 00:54:24,805
she's used to winning.
She's an Olympic gold medalist.

1131
00:54:24,838 --> 00:54:26,988
[Corey] You already brought up that Fyre

1132
00:54:27,021 --> 00:54:29,221
is used to winning…
Is right on the outside,

1133
00:54:29,254 --> 00:54:31,855
Chelsea Green almost got caught.

1134
00:54:31,888 --> 00:54:34,571
Back up! Back up!

1135
00:54:34,605 --> 00:54:37,021
-[Booker] Oh, yes!
-[Vic] Steele did get caught

1136
00:54:37,055 --> 00:54:40,038
and this is where you talk about
that championship pedigree,

1137
00:54:40,071 --> 00:54:43,754
because some people have forgotten
just how dangerous Alba Fyre is.

1138
00:54:43,788 --> 00:54:46,955
As you mentioned nearly 650 days,

1139
00:54:46,988 --> 00:54:50,305
she was NXT UK Women's Champion,
into the cover, hook of the leg,

1140
00:54:50,338 --> 00:54:55,421
in comparison to your six world title
reigns, that was only a combined 378 days.

1141
00:54:55,455 --> 00:54:58,021
[Booker] You're looking
to get an ass whooping, right?

1142
00:54:58,055 --> 00:54:59,771
That's what you're looking for tonight.

1143
00:54:59,805 --> 00:55:02,088
-I'm just stating facts.
-You're looking for a match?

1144
00:55:02,121 --> 00:55:03,321
You want to get Ava out here?

1145
00:55:03,355 --> 00:55:04,938
[Corey] Ava has got
a lot of other things

1146
00:55:04,971 --> 00:55:06,855
to worry about here tonight, Booker.

1147
00:55:06,888 --> 00:55:11,855
Because No Mercy starting to shape up.
NXT Homecoming is right around the corner.

1148
00:55:11,888 --> 00:55:15,171
Massive Six-Woman Tag Team Matchup
still to come,

1149
00:55:15,205 --> 00:55:17,488
and it's Alba Fyre in control,

1150
00:55:17,521 --> 00:55:20,305
and there's a lot of momentum
behind the Secret Hervice.

1151
00:55:20,338 --> 00:55:22,605
Obviously, we talked about Sunday's win.

1152
00:55:22,638 --> 00:55:23,988
Can't overlook Piper Niven,

1153
00:55:24,021 --> 00:55:28,538
who defeated Charlotte Flair
last Friday on SmackDown.

1154
00:55:28,571 --> 00:55:32,238
[Booker T] Right there, Piper's out there
flanking right now, Alba Fyre

1155
00:55:32,271 --> 00:55:35,238
and anything can pop off
in this matchup right now

1156
00:55:35,271 --> 00:55:37,654
but Alba's got total control.

1157
00:55:38,238 --> 00:55:40,338
Pulling that little hiccup right there.

1158
00:55:40,371 --> 00:55:42,205
[Joseph] It's important to remember
that Fyre

1159
00:55:42,238 --> 00:55:44,688
was key to victory at Heatwave
for Page and Green

1160
00:55:44,721 --> 00:55:47,754
when she super-kicked Steele
right into the unpretty her

1161
00:55:47,788 --> 00:55:49,838
and it's still starting to fire back now.

1162
00:55:49,871 --> 00:55:51,138
[Booker T] Slow it down.

1163
00:55:51,171 --> 00:55:52,904
Slow it down. See what I'm saying?

1164
00:55:52,938 --> 00:55:56,338
See what I'm saying?
That right there, that amateur mistake…

1165
00:55:56,371 --> 00:55:59,271
[Joseph] Oh! Dropping Fyre.

1166
00:55:59,904 --> 00:56:03,488
And, look, we came in tonight
wondering how would Tyra Mae Steele

1167
00:56:03,521 --> 00:56:05,538
handle the adversity of Sunday?

1168
00:56:05,571 --> 00:56:07,821
[Booker T] I've never seen Tyra
standing tall.

1169
00:56:07,855 --> 00:56:12,004
That was a big, big mistake.
High risk, zero reward.

1170
00:56:12,605 --> 00:56:15,138
[Joseph] And the reward
might be for Alba Fyre,

1171
00:56:15,171 --> 00:56:21,338
who just delivered that depleting knee
followed up with a DDT.

1172
00:56:21,371 --> 00:56:24,921
[Booker T] They're leveraged in this game.
Let's go home. Let's go home.

1173
00:56:24,955 --> 00:56:25,871
The hell!

1174
00:56:25,904 --> 00:56:28,955
[Joseph] There's a lot on the plate
for Chelsea Green as well.

1175
00:56:28,988 --> 00:56:34,471
She's been petitioning to form NATO,
as you see this DDT,

1176
00:56:34,504 --> 00:56:38,971
which she wants to bring NATO to the WWE,
the North American Talent Organization.

1177
00:56:39,004 --> 00:56:40,921
[Booker T] I like that. I like that.

1178
00:56:40,955 --> 00:56:43,421
That would be something great
for the talent.

1179
00:56:43,455 --> 00:56:45,721
[Joseph] You got to imagine
a victory hereby Alba Fyre.

1180
00:56:45,754 --> 00:56:48,154
-[Booker T] She bringing medical…
-[Joseph] Hoisting up.

1181
00:56:48,188 --> 00:56:49,838
Nice counter, though, by Steele.

1182
00:56:49,871 --> 00:56:53,038
Steele now, able to use
some of that amateur background

1183
00:56:53,071 --> 00:56:55,121
to execute that German suplex.

1184
00:56:55,154 --> 00:56:59,004
And now we're going to start to see
if Steele can start rolling in this match.

1185
00:56:59,038 --> 00:57:03,404
Tyra locked in the ankle lock.
Ankle lock, it cinched in.

1186
00:57:03,438 --> 00:57:06,571
She could snap Alba Fyre's ankle
right here.

1187
00:57:07,254 --> 00:57:10,138
-That left ankle is bending. Page…
-[Booker T] Oh!

1188
00:57:12,221 --> 00:57:15,221
Ethan Page… Yeah, that's what he gets.

1189
00:57:16,271 --> 00:57:19,438
Steele battling back.
Oh, that super kick didn't connect.

1190
00:57:19,471 --> 00:57:21,921
-From behind, Steele.
-[Booker T] No, no no!

1191
00:57:21,955 --> 00:57:25,238
[Joseph] Steele gets
her first taste of victory.

1192
00:57:25,971 --> 00:57:27,121
Yes, Tyra!

1193
00:57:27,154 --> 00:57:30,338
[Rome] Here is your winner, Tyra Mae--

1194
00:57:31,855 --> 00:57:33,588
[Joseph] Oh, come on!

1195
00:57:33,621 --> 00:57:35,071
What a sore loser!

1196
00:57:36,205 --> 00:57:38,455
[indistinct shouting]

1197
00:57:38,488 --> 00:57:39,788
What is your problem?

1198
00:57:39,821 --> 00:57:41,504
[both argue indistinctly]

1199
00:57:42,221 --> 00:57:44,088
[crowd cheering]

1200
00:57:45,305 --> 00:57:46,938
[Booker T] Don't you do it, son.

1201
00:57:46,971 --> 00:57:50,055
-Don't you put your hands on a--
-[Joseph] From behind

1202
00:57:50,088 --> 00:57:53,488
Ethan Page
with that North American Championship

1203
00:57:53,521 --> 00:57:57,488
-and now the so-called greatest--
-[Booker T] That's self-defense.

1204
00:57:58,188 --> 00:57:59,805
At least somebody's gotta do it.

1205
00:58:01,121 --> 00:58:02,621
[Joseph] Twisted grin.

1206
00:58:03,455 --> 00:58:05,955
-[Booker T] Thank God!
-[Joseph] Forcing Steele to watch.

1207
00:58:09,821 --> 00:58:11,371
Oh, come on.

1208
00:58:15,955 --> 00:58:17,904
[mixed cheers]

1209
00:58:18,821 --> 00:58:20,038
["With A Smile" playing]

1210
00:58:20,071 --> 00:58:23,038
[Joseph] And for a contingent
that complains

1211
00:58:23,071 --> 00:58:25,488
about being treated unfairly.

1212
00:58:25,521 --> 00:58:30,738
Page, Green and company
just showed their true colors.

1213
00:58:30,771 --> 00:58:32,438
[Booker T laughing]

1214
00:58:34,771 --> 00:58:36,888
-[Hank] We're not sorry.
-[Tank] No, we're not sorry.

1215
00:58:36,921 --> 00:58:39,388
Ava, we want to get our hands
on DarkState one more time.

1216
00:58:39,421 --> 00:58:42,121
We got a little bit of an ace-whooping
waiting for 'em,

1217
00:58:42,154 --> 00:58:44,121
and we want the title rematch. Let's go.

1218
00:58:44,154 --> 00:58:46,438
Okay, so after you guys
attacked them tonight,

1219
00:58:46,471 --> 00:58:49,521
they already came in here
and asked for the same thing.

1220
00:58:49,555 --> 00:58:51,088
That's what I'm talking about.

1221
00:58:51,121 --> 00:58:55,221
So DarkState's on that one-way road
with the semi, doing 35 over 85.

1222
00:58:55,254 --> 00:58:58,654
Last time I checked, it sounded
a little bit something like, "Honk, honk!"

1223
00:58:58,688 --> 00:59:00,855
-[both] Thank you, boss.
-Here we go.

1224
00:59:00,888 --> 00:59:03,355
I wasn't done talking yet.

1225
00:59:03,388 --> 00:59:06,654
You guys always keep leaving
before I'm done talking.

1226
00:59:06,688 --> 00:59:11,254
What I was going to finish saying
was that DarkState wants all four of you.

1227
00:59:13,021 --> 00:59:14,788
-If my math is correct--
-it usually is.

1228
00:59:14,821 --> 00:59:16,654
[counting softly]

1229
00:59:16,688 --> 00:59:18,404
-There's only two of us.
-Right.

1230
00:59:18,438 --> 00:59:22,088
So DarkState wants you two
and Ricky and Oba.

1231
00:59:22,121 --> 00:59:24,788
So after you guys
have your 8-Man Tag next week,

1232
00:59:24,821 --> 00:59:26,521
then we can talk about the title rematch.

1233
00:59:26,555 --> 00:59:29,421
As long as we're out in the action
and we get to give DarkState

1234
00:59:29,455 --> 00:59:32,321
a little taste of the Belly Beatdown,
we're good with it.

1235
00:59:32,355 --> 00:59:33,888
-Thank you, Ava.
-Thank you.

1236
00:59:33,921 --> 00:59:34,904
You're welcome.

1237
00:59:35,721 --> 00:59:39,404
[Joseph] We are live tonight
in City Beautiful Orlando, Florida,

1238
00:59:39,438 --> 00:59:43,238
inside the WWE Performance Center,
and I'm here to remind everyone

1239
00:59:43,271 --> 00:59:47,654
if you haven't watched WWE Unreal
on Netflix, do so tonight.

1240
00:59:47,688 --> 00:59:52,588
After NXT get unprecedented access
inside the WWE's writer's room,

1241
00:59:52,621 --> 00:59:54,638
and right now, let's take a look
behind the curtain

1242
00:59:54,671 --> 00:59:58,138
with the undisputed WWE Champion,
the American Nightmare.

1243
00:59:58,171 --> 00:59:59,404
Cody Rhodes.

1244
01:00:01,688 --> 01:00:04,588
Oh, yeah, they coming hard.
I've seen one scene assured,

1245
01:00:05,171 --> 01:00:08,571
then we got an old-school looks like
he's hustled loyalty respect on.

1246
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:12,071
This man's an eater.
We got a yeet, neat and eat guy, I think.

1247
01:00:13,521 --> 01:00:15,121
[man] I have a whole family out there.

1248
01:00:15,788 --> 01:00:17,638
Like an entire family there.

1249
01:00:19,438 --> 01:00:20,721
This is the New Age.

1250
01:00:23,805 --> 01:00:27,138
See, I'm even nice to the Cena fans.
You know what I'm saying?

1251
01:00:28,238 --> 01:00:31,338
I've heard about these stories
where the crowds can hijack shows.

1252
01:00:31,371 --> 01:00:32,471
[man] Yeah, they can.

1253
01:00:32,504 --> 01:00:36,254
[Rhodes] But also sometimes the boys
and girls let them hijack the shows,

1254
01:00:36,288 --> 01:00:40,688
whereas for me, this is one big orchestra,
the crowd is part of it,

1255
01:00:40,721 --> 01:00:42,605
I'm part of it, John's part of it.

1256
01:00:42,638 --> 01:00:46,171
I want our music to harmonize,
even if it's not going the way I want.

1257
01:00:47,471 --> 01:00:50,805
[Joseph] Well, get ready, Booker,
because sparks are about to fly.

1258
01:00:50,838 --> 01:00:52,371
Who will burn?

1259
01:00:52,404 --> 01:00:58,221
Sol Ruca, Zaria and Lola Vice set the team
against the trio of Fatal Influence.

1260
01:00:58,254 --> 01:01:00,754
It's a Six-Woman Tag Team Match.

1261
01:01:00,788 --> 01:01:03,438
It's live, it's next on NXT.

1262
01:01:08,404 --> 01:01:09,388
Fatal influence,

1263
01:01:09,421 --> 01:01:13,221
you're about to face Lola Vice,
Sol Ruca and Zaria in the main event.

1264
01:01:13,254 --> 01:01:16,654
But, Jacy, I have to ask you,
how are you coping with losing

1265
01:01:16,688 --> 01:01:18,821
the TNA Knockouts Title at Heatwave?

1266
01:01:18,855 --> 01:01:23,288
Ash By Elegance stole the TNA Knockouts
Championship from me.

1267
01:01:23,321 --> 01:01:27,238
But what they can't take from me
is the fact that I made history.

1268
01:01:27,271 --> 01:01:30,455
I'm the first woman to ever hold
the TNA Knockouts Championship

1269
01:01:30,488 --> 01:01:33,788
and the NXT Women's Championship
at the same time.

1270
01:01:33,821 --> 01:01:37,205
Sarah, we may be down one title,
but don't you worry because now,

1271
01:01:37,238 --> 01:01:39,805
with the Speed Championship
coming to NXT, I plan on

1272
01:01:39,838 --> 01:01:42,288
bringing a second title
back to Fatal Influence.

1273
01:01:42,321 --> 01:01:45,388
"We"? No, there's no we.

1274
01:01:45,421 --> 01:01:49,355
I lost the championship
and I was never even pinned.

1275
01:01:49,388 --> 01:01:52,171
And if anybody's gonna get a chance
at that speed title,

1276
01:01:52,205 --> 01:01:54,121
it's obviously gonna be Fallon.

1277
01:01:54,154 --> 01:01:55,254
[scoffs] Well, duh.

1278
01:01:55,288 --> 01:01:57,438
Okay, well, both of you
have been champion,

1279
01:01:57,471 --> 01:02:01,421
-and I haven't yet, so obviously I would--
-Yeah, there's a reason for that.

1280
01:02:01,455 --> 01:02:04,404
All right. Well, no one thought
you'd win one title, let alone two.

1281
01:02:04,438 --> 01:02:06,221
-But here we are.
-Oh!

1282
01:02:06,254 --> 01:02:08,871
Okay. Jazmyn, welcome to the conversation.

1283
01:02:08,904 --> 01:02:10,004
[laughs smugly]

1284
01:02:11,738 --> 01:02:13,188
What the hell is going on?

01:02:16,305 --> 01:02:18,671
[Joseph] Our Six-Woman main event
still to come.

1286
01:02:18,705 --> 01:02:21,088
But our General Manager Ava,
has been busy tonight.

1287
01:02:21,121 --> 01:02:24,605
As we learn, we will start
the Women's No. 1 Contender

1288
01:02:24,638 --> 01:02:28,021
Speed Tournament next week
when SmackDown's Candice LeRae

1289
01:02:28,055 --> 01:02:33,055
returns to NXT to face
TNA wrestler Xia Brookside.

1290
01:02:34,305 --> 01:02:37,321
Also, after weeks of smack talk,
locker room drama,

1291
01:02:37,355 --> 01:02:39,171
these two are gonna slug it out.

1292
01:02:39,205 --> 01:02:43,421
Who proves to be better
between Jaida Parker and Lash Legend?

1293
01:02:43,455 --> 01:02:47,171
We're going to find out
next week right here on NXT.

1294
01:02:48,105 --> 01:02:49,404
And we might, Booker…

1295
01:02:49,438 --> 01:02:51,555
We might need to reinforce the ring

1296
01:02:51,588 --> 01:02:54,705
after what happened earlier,
these eight men will compete

1297
01:02:54,738 --> 01:02:56,805
in a tag team match next week.

1298
01:02:56,838 --> 01:03:02,788
There's a lot of combustible
elements next Tuesday, live on NXT.

1303
01:03:17,971 --> 01:03:21,438
[Rome] The following contest
is a Six-Woman Tag Team Match

1304
01:03:21,471 --> 01:03:23,738
scheduled for one fall,

1305
01:03:23,771 --> 01:03:29,355
introducing first from Miami, Florida,
Lola Vice.

1306
01:03:29,388 --> 01:03:33,004
[Joseph] There she is, Book,
the No. 1 Contender

1307
01:03:33,038 --> 01:03:36,004
to the NXT Women's Championship.

1308
01:03:37,004 --> 01:03:38,871
[Booker T] I like the new gear, man.

1309
01:03:41,805 --> 01:03:44,988
Salsa, spicy meatball.

1310
01:03:47,288 --> 01:03:49,388
["Chasing Surf" playing]

1311
01:04:20,388 --> 01:04:24,971
[Rome] And her tag team partners,
the team of Zaria,

1312
01:04:25,004 --> 01:04:29,488
and the NXT Women's North American

1313
01:04:29,521 --> 01:04:35,504
and Speed Champion, Sol Ruca.

1314
01:04:35,538 --> 01:04:39,321
[Joseph] Sorry, Book, that was
a dynamite drop in Monsey you just had

1315
01:04:39,355 --> 01:04:42,288
with your spicy meatball reference.
But can we focus, please?

1316
01:04:42,321 --> 01:04:47,071
Because it was Lola Vice
who called teaming with Sol Ruca,

1317
01:04:47,105 --> 01:04:50,154
who, by the way, is the only
double champion right now in NXT,

1318
01:04:50,188 --> 01:04:56,355
and Zaria, an absolute dream.
Is the dream about to become a nightmare

1319
01:04:56,388 --> 01:04:58,805
for their opponent's Fatal Influence?

1320
01:04:58,838 --> 01:05:01,738
[Booker T] I don't know. I can't answer
that question, and I don't know

1321
01:05:01,771 --> 01:05:04,688
what Lola's thinking about
because she's a solo act, man.

[Joseph] The goddesses

1332
01:05:40,388 --> 01:05:42,121
[Booker T] You better get a ticket

1333
01:05:42,638 --> 01:05:46,771
[Rome] And their opponent's,
Jazmyn Nyx, Fallon Henley

1334
01:05:46,805 --> 01:05:53,705
and the NXT Women's Champion,
Jacy Jayne, Fatal Influence.

1335
01:05:54,955 --> 01:05:58,221
[Joseph] After the interactions tonight,
whatever ticket you were gonna buy

1336
01:05:58,254 --> 01:06:00,838
may not be any good
because it further proved

1337
01:06:00,871 --> 01:06:04,955
that this trio is not on the same page.

1338
01:06:04,988 --> 01:06:08,221
It's the main event time,
these six women slug it out,

1339
01:06:08,254 --> 01:06:09,921
next on NXT.

1340
01:06:14,821 --> 01:06:17,688
But we have been waiting for this moment
and this match.

1341
01:06:17,721 --> 01:06:20,471
Our main event tonight here on NXT.

1342
01:06:20,504 --> 01:06:24,121
It's Fallon Henley kicking things off
with the birthday girl. Sol Ruca.

1343
01:06:24,154 --> 01:06:26,088
What did you get Sol for her birthday?

1344
01:06:26,721 --> 01:06:28,805
[Booker T] Why would I get her something?

1345
01:06:28,838 --> 01:06:31,288
I'm not her boyfriend
What are you talking about?

1346
01:06:31,321 --> 01:06:33,821
[Joseph] Maybe you can
give her that feather thing

1347
01:06:33,855 --> 01:06:37,205
you're carrying around all night.
Rolling over into a cover and a near fall.

1348
01:06:37,238 --> 01:06:40,055
Fallon Henley coming through,
nice body-scissors takedown

1349
01:06:40,088 --> 01:06:44,121
tying up, Ruca, who's able to kick out
and how much, to use your word here,

1350
01:06:44,154 --> 01:06:47,555
how much spice is opposite
of Fatal Influence here tonight?

1351
01:06:47,588 --> 01:06:49,955
[Booker T] Come on.
I mean, it's a lot of spice,

1352
01:06:49,988 --> 01:06:52,288
but to take nothing away
from Fatal Influence.

1353
01:06:52,321 --> 01:06:55,371
Right now, they're not in a great space
or anything like that.

1354
01:06:55,404 --> 01:06:58,105
But they still got
the championship gold on their team.

1355
01:07:06,455 --> 01:07:07,688
[Vic] Whoa.

1356
01:07:07,721 --> 01:07:11,138
Sol Ruca trying to hold.
Sol Ruca, of course, the only…

1357
01:07:11,171 --> 01:07:14,021
double champion right now.
We heard earlier that that…

1358
01:07:14,055 --> 01:07:18,538
Speed tournament will begin next week
with Xia Brookside

1359
01:07:18,571 --> 01:07:22,838
and Candice LeRae, the winner,
will meet Sol for the Women's Speed title

1360
01:07:22,871 --> 01:07:25,504
at No Mercy in Fort Lauderdale.

1361
01:07:25,538 --> 01:07:29,771
But tagging in is Jazmyn Nyx,
and it was good to see Nix snap back

1362
01:07:29,805 --> 01:07:30,838
a little earlier.

1363
01:07:30,871 --> 01:07:34,305
Stand on her own two feet, not taking
any crap from Jacy Jayne.

1364
01:07:34,338 --> 01:07:37,504
[Booker T] You're just trying to make
some news here,

1365
01:07:37,538 --> 01:07:41,221
trying to cause a little friction
with Fatal Influence.

1366
01:07:41,254 --> 01:07:44,305
Let me tell you something,
Jazmyn Nyx is a hell of a talent.

1367
01:07:44,338 --> 01:07:49,138
And she got a great support system as well
in the Influence, trust me on that.

1368
01:07:49,171 --> 01:07:51,821
[Vic] Tag was made, and in comes Zaria.

1369
01:07:51,855 --> 01:07:54,288
This is a woman who has been waiting
for this moment,

1370
01:07:54,321 --> 01:07:57,705
as she said, to get her hands
on Fatal Influence.

1371
01:07:57,738 --> 01:08:02,471
Seems like somebody in Zaria
who's always wanting to scrap and fight

1372
01:08:02,504 --> 01:08:05,571
-into the cover, and a kick out.
-[Booker T] Zaria came in a fighter,

1373
01:08:05,605 --> 01:08:10,055
I can say that, but as of late,
she seemed to be very, very comfortable

1374
01:08:10,088 --> 01:08:12,605
playing second fiddle. I don't like that.

1375
01:08:12,638 --> 01:08:15,771
[Vic] We got two of the Zarias,
Sol and also Lola Vice.

1376
01:08:15,805 --> 01:08:18,788
They got matching shirts on here tonight,
maybe for Sol's birthday.

1377
01:08:18,821 --> 01:08:21,171
-We should be matching suits.
-[Booker T] What?

1378
01:08:21,205 --> 01:08:23,471
-[Vic] Maybe…
-[Booker T] You know what that's called?

1379
01:08:23,505 --> 01:08:25,838
It's called an outfit.
I don't wear outfits.

1380
01:08:25,871 --> 01:08:29,288
And Zaria right now is showing
just how fit she is.

1381
01:08:29,321 --> 01:08:32,104
And off the top with a clothesline,
wiping out…

1382
01:08:32,138 --> 01:08:34,521
-[Booker T] No, no.
-[Vic] Cover, and a kick out.

1383
01:08:34,554 --> 01:08:37,921
-And there's a hard cover there.
-And Zaria in control,

1384
01:08:37,955 --> 01:08:40,321
gonna show that power here
maybe one more time.

1385
01:08:40,354 --> 01:08:43,188
-Hoisting up Nyx.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby, I told you.

1386
01:08:43,221 --> 01:08:47,221
[Vic] Nice takedown and maybe
she's trying to show out in her own right.

1387
01:08:48,554 --> 01:08:53,588
To her partners, I say use that loosely
when it comes to Fatal Influence,

1388
01:08:53,621 --> 01:08:55,354
-partners.
-[Booker T] Tell you something,

1389
01:08:55,388 --> 01:09:00,138
I look at the end of my ex and right now
she's making the best of this TV time

1390
01:09:00,171 --> 01:09:04,955
is made in gold, but right now she's in a,
wait a minute, I told you, I told you.

1391
01:09:04,988 --> 01:09:07,804
[Vic] Lockdown in another near fall.

1392
01:09:08,588 --> 01:09:11,088
When it comes to Jasmine,
Nyx said earlier she wants

1393
01:09:11,121 --> 01:09:14,304
a championship opportunity,
but she's trying to get back to her feet.

1394
01:09:14,338 --> 01:09:17,171
-[Booker T] You gotta earn a championship.
-Here comes the woman who did earn

1395
01:09:17,205 --> 01:09:20,154
a championship opportunity, Lola Vice.

1396
01:09:20,188 --> 01:09:22,755
And she'll have it at No Mercy
into the cover.

1397
01:09:22,788 --> 01:09:25,888
Nyx is able to kick out.
Lola will face Jacy Jayne

1398
01:09:25,921 --> 01:09:30,238
for the NXT Women's Championship,
the final Sunday in September.

1399
01:09:31,071 --> 01:09:36,604
As Nyx is doing the wise thing,
making the tag, and in comes Jacy Jane.

1400
01:09:36,638 --> 01:09:41,505
Where is Jacy's focus at right now,
if you were to give your opinion on it?

1401
01:09:41,538 --> 01:09:43,938
[Booker T] Let me tell you something,
You gotta understand,

1402
01:09:43,971 --> 01:09:48,005
Jacy Jayne is not losing the championship,
it's the way she lost it,

1403
01:09:48,038 --> 01:09:52,654
the shenanigans outside.
But she is still the NXT champion.

1404
01:09:52,688 --> 01:09:56,121
That right there is gonna give her
a whole lot of time to just think about

1405
01:09:56,154 --> 01:10:00,221
one thing, and that is going out there
and defending that championship,

1406
01:10:00,255 --> 01:10:04,438
-the main championship, in my opinion.
-[Vic] Look, you always say,

1407
01:10:04,471 --> 01:10:07,054
can I not be biased,
can I say something nice?

1408
01:10:07,088 --> 01:10:08,871
Wait a minute, just got called
for submission.

1409
01:10:08,905 --> 01:10:11,638
Trying to hyper send the arm,
able to roll the weight over in another.

1410
01:10:11,671 --> 01:10:13,804
Another kick out,
have her relinquish the hold.

1411
01:10:13,838 --> 01:10:15,955
You always say I don't say anything
nice about Jacy.

1412
01:10:15,988 --> 01:10:18,621
Jacy wasn't pinned,
but I don't necessarily say

1413
01:10:18,655 --> 01:10:20,338
that Ash stole the championship.

1414
01:10:20,371 --> 01:10:22,371
It was a triple threat,
those were the rules.

1415
01:10:22,405 --> 01:10:25,071
[Booker T] So you didn't see
Ash by elegance, you didn't see it,

1416
01:10:25,105 --> 01:10:30,088
you didn't see Heather, you didn't see
all of them coming together as a unit to

1417
01:10:30,121 --> 01:10:32,505
steal that championship for Jacy Jayne.

1418
01:10:32,538 --> 01:10:36,571
-You didn't see that, you didn't see that.
-[Vic] Booker, I did,

1419
01:10:36,605 --> 01:10:38,804
but there's no disqualification
in a Triple Threat match.

1420
01:10:38,838 --> 01:10:42,088
[Booker T] Just like you didn't see
Kalani Jordan earlier tonight.

1421
01:10:42,121 --> 01:10:47,521
Huh? You didn't see anything, right?
You worked at Myles Borne.

1422
01:10:47,554 --> 01:10:51,554
[Vic] Well, Myles Borne, he's gonna have
something on his mind after tonight

1423
01:10:51,588 --> 01:10:54,471
as into the cover goes Fallon Henley
and another kick out.

1424
01:10:55,554 --> 01:10:58,121
Nice job for Fatal Influence,
maybe to send a message to number one.

1425
01:10:58,155 --> 01:11:03,238
Look like Fatal Influence is in total.
He's in beauty right now,

1426
01:11:03,271 --> 01:11:06,971
-I think they're looking real good, right?
-[Vic] Not looking good right now,

1427
01:11:07,005 --> 01:11:08,571
He's being backed into the corner.

1428
01:11:09,405 --> 01:11:10,838
Oh, yes!

1429
01:11:10,871 --> 01:11:13,088
[Vic] Big kick to the gut,
big elbow to the spine,

1430
01:11:13,121 --> 01:11:17,071
Double team, double chops.
Double your pleasure, double your fun,

1431
01:11:17,105 --> 01:11:20,788
and there was no statement from Sol Ruca
as Fallon Henley able to kick out.

1432
01:11:21,371 --> 01:11:24,671
This is the main event tonight,
we've certainly felt the afterburn

1433
01:11:25,554 --> 01:11:27,455
on Heat Wave.

1434
01:11:27,488 --> 01:11:29,538
Well, that was a miscalculation. And look.

1435
01:11:29,571 --> 01:11:31,338
[Booker T] Oh! Served forward.

1436
01:11:31,371 --> 01:11:33,321
-[Vic] Riding the wave.
-[Booker T] Served forward.

1437
01:11:33,355 --> 01:11:36,238
Served forward.
I like that right there, but you know,

1438
01:11:36,271 --> 01:11:38,271
I don't like to play it around
a little bit.

1439
01:11:38,304 --> 01:11:41,054
I've been wasting a little bit of time.
You can get a victory right here.

1440
01:11:41,088 --> 01:11:42,554
This is about winning, man.

1441
01:11:43,971 --> 01:11:45,371
[Vic] And the wave has started.

1442
01:11:45,405 --> 01:11:49,355
The referee did not see Jacy

1443
01:11:49,388 --> 01:11:53,054
just lower the boom on Sol.

1444
01:11:53,605 --> 01:11:56,188
And that's why I'm the champ.

1445
01:11:57,005 --> 01:12:00,538
There's Lainey Reid, and Lainey Reid,
she's someone

1446
01:12:00,571 --> 01:12:01,938
who's in that speed tournament.

1447
01:12:01,971 --> 01:12:05,788
She's looking at the Speed Champion,
Sol Ruca, who's trying to bounce back.

1448
01:12:09,171 --> 01:12:13,171
Good look at Sol Ruca, the Speed Champion,
will be Lainey Reid winning

1449
01:12:13,205 --> 01:12:15,871
the mini tournament that begins next week
and heading to No Mercy

1450
01:12:15,905 --> 01:12:19,155
as Sol Ruca has turned things around
in this matchup.

1451
01:12:19,188 --> 01:12:21,471
Tag was made, Fallon Henley is now legal.

1452
01:12:21,505 --> 01:12:25,054
Sol Ruca has suffered a lot of damage,
and this is why it's a foul.

1453
01:12:25,088 --> 01:12:28,088
-It's a wipeout, sorry.
-That's why we call Fallon Henley

1454
01:12:28,121 --> 01:12:29,405
the pro right there.

1455
01:12:29,438 --> 01:12:32,554
[Booker T] She made every inch
of this matchup…

1456
01:12:32,588 --> 01:12:34,588
-Whoa, whoa.
-Stop her, stop her.

1457
01:12:34,621 --> 01:12:36,405
[Vic] Lola and Jacy Jane.

1458
01:12:37,488 --> 01:12:39,571
-Gotta love it.
-[Booker T] Oh, my God.

1459
01:12:39,605 --> 01:12:42,905
-That was nasty.
-That's great tag team action

1460
01:12:42,938 --> 01:12:44,521
is what that is, Victor.

1461
01:12:45,921 --> 01:12:50,955
I think I might actually agree with Jacy
that Lola may not be shaking anything

1462
01:12:50,988 --> 01:12:54,071
with a couple of broken ribs
after how hard and awkward

1463
01:12:54,105 --> 01:12:56,521
she hit the point of that steel step.

1464
01:12:57,088 --> 01:13:00,588
And now, if you look up, I mean,
really, it's a two-on-three handicap match

1465
01:13:00,621 --> 01:13:03,621
in this juncture.
Sol Ruca and Fatal Influence.

1466
01:13:03,655 --> 01:13:07,955
[Booker T] Let me tell you what, man,
I love the work of Jacy Jayne.

1467
01:13:07,988 --> 01:13:12,105
She just put a little something something
in the mail to make sure

1468
01:13:12,138 --> 01:13:15,838
that she can secure that championship
later on.

1469
01:13:15,871 --> 01:13:17,771
That's what I'm liking
about her right now.

1470
01:13:17,804 --> 01:13:21,304
Look at Fatal Influence!
Look at Fatal Influence doing work!

1471
01:13:21,338 --> 01:13:24,388
Doing work! I love it, man.
Look at the blind tag!

1472
01:13:24,421 --> 01:13:27,071
-Look at the blind tag right there!
-[Vic] Double team tag was made.

1473
01:13:27,105 --> 01:13:28,738
-Jacy's legal.
-Finish her off, Jacy!

1474
01:13:28,771 --> 01:13:30,771
-Right under the jaw.
-[Booker T] Finish her off!

1475
01:13:30,804 --> 01:13:34,621
-[Vic] Right into the cover and a near--
-[Booker T] What the hell is Zaria doing?

1476
01:13:36,554 --> 01:13:39,538
[Vic] Zaria trying to save this matchup
doing exactly what Fatal Influence

1477
01:13:39,571 --> 01:13:41,688
-would try to do.
-[Booker T] What are you talking about?

1478
01:13:41,721 --> 01:13:43,088
What are you talking about?

1479
01:13:43,771 --> 01:13:50,105
Zaria trying to rally the NXT Universe
because it has been all Fatal Influence.

1480
01:13:50,138 --> 01:13:53,638
And Jacy Jayne, a mean, nasty demeanor.

1481
01:13:53,671 --> 01:13:55,804
She's not in a good mood after
what happened on Sunday.

1482
01:13:55,838 --> 01:13:57,955
[Booker T] Give it up
for the NXT Women's Champion.

1483
01:13:57,988 --> 01:14:01,255
Give it up for Jacy Jayne.
I'm talking about a champion.

1484
01:14:01,755 --> 01:14:05,221
Somebody that's running this team
like a wheel or a machine.

1485
01:14:05,255 --> 01:14:09,688
Give it up for Jacy Jayne, the Rockstar.
Get your ticket, man.

1486
01:14:09,721 --> 01:14:13,804
[Vic] Jacy checking back in.
Miscommunication, up and over goes Sol.

1487
01:14:13,838 --> 01:14:18,554
Zaria's legal. And now we are entering,
possibly in a few moments,

1488
01:14:18,588 --> 01:14:24,221
the Zone of Destruction.
Zaria has come in and has taken over.

1489
01:14:27,605 --> 01:14:29,554
And again, this is what she's waiting for.

1490
01:14:29,588 --> 01:14:34,355
Oh, baby, momentum just got halted
right there by Jacy Jayne.

1491
01:14:36,471 --> 01:14:39,721
Now that momentum just swung
right back to Zaria.

1492
01:14:40,338 --> 01:14:44,255
And I don't know if it happened or not,
but the referee just signaled

1493
01:14:44,288 --> 01:14:50,138
the legal superstar is now Jazmyn Nyx,
who just got planted, just got dropped.

1494
01:14:51,355 --> 01:14:56,788
And look who's pulling herself back up,
Sol Ruca, Sol.

1495
01:14:59,705 --> 01:15:03,705
How about this?
For some teamwork, teamwork.

1496
01:15:03,738 --> 01:15:06,271
-[Booker T] No way, no way!
-make the dream work.

1497
01:15:06,304 --> 01:15:07,571
Beautiful, Fallon!

1498
01:15:08,138 --> 01:15:10,721
Weren't you just upset that Zaria
did just what--

1499
01:15:10,755 --> 01:15:14,688
[Booker T] It's different, it's different.
Right now, everything is breaking down.

1500
01:15:14,721 --> 01:15:18,738
Neck breaker by Jane Zaria wiped out,
Sol backup, Sol charging.

1501
01:15:18,771 --> 01:15:20,988
Side steps, a pump kick,
double clothesline,

1502
01:15:21,021 --> 01:15:25,421
and all six women are down.

1503
01:15:25,455 --> 01:15:28,405
This is our main event. This is NXT.

1504
01:15:28,438 --> 01:15:31,921
This is showing you just how damn deep
this division is,

1505
01:15:31,955 --> 01:15:36,288
because this six women are right now
putting the spotlight on them.

1506
01:15:37,088 --> 01:15:42,405
[Booker T] It's a moment for somebody
to step in here and do something

1507
01:15:42,438 --> 01:15:44,271
to try to pull this thing off.

1508
01:15:45,005 --> 01:15:47,905
[Vic] And look who's up.
It's the number one contender.

1509
01:15:47,938 --> 01:15:50,088
Make the tag, Lola's legal.

1510
01:15:51,205 --> 01:15:54,855
And all the action that's gone on,
I believe Jazmyn Nyx is a legal superstar

1511
01:15:54,888 --> 01:15:57,271
for Fatal Influence.
But it doesn't matter who's legal,

1512
01:15:57,304 --> 01:16:02,021
-whoever's standing is getting kicked.
-[Booker T] Lola's fresh right now, too.

1513
01:16:02,054 --> 01:16:08,138
-Educated feet, educated feet.
-Yeah, yeah, man. Here we go.

1514
01:16:08,171 --> 01:16:11,438
Now you wanna talk about Cholula Green.
I shouldn't even give you your spot.

1515
01:16:11,471 --> 01:16:13,921
-I shouldn't even give you your spot.
-What are you talking about?

1516
01:16:13,955 --> 01:16:16,271
-I shouldn't even give you your spot.
-Here we go, baby.

1517
01:16:16,304 --> 01:16:19,955
We're gonna get this thing all set up.
We're gonna wind it up.

1518
01:16:19,988 --> 01:16:26,288
Yeah, man. Ah, ah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

1519
01:16:26,321 --> 01:16:31,121
[exclaiming] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1520
01:16:32,105 --> 01:16:35,705
[Vic] Booker's over here short-circuited.
Lola realizing Fallon's up.

1521
01:16:35,738 --> 01:16:39,054
Didn't connect. Big Nyx kick
right between the eyes.

1522
01:16:39,088 --> 01:16:41,855
Tag was made.
NXT Women's Champions League.

1523
01:16:41,888 --> 01:16:44,255
She comes out. In comes Fallon.

1524
01:16:44,288 --> 01:16:46,871
-Boom! Two for one.
-[Booker T] It's over, it's over!

1525
01:16:46,905 --> 01:16:49,688
[Vic] Fallon's in the cover
to pin Lola Vice.

1526
01:16:49,721 --> 01:16:53,171
Oh! Where the hell did Sol Ruca come from?

1527
01:16:56,188 --> 01:16:59,971
Unbelievable! Yeah, and the officials
doing a great job here.

1528
01:17:00,005 --> 01:17:02,971
-Dallas Irvin knows she's not legal.
-[Booker T] She's legal.

1529
01:17:03,005 --> 01:17:04,071
[Vic] Fallon's legal.

1530
01:17:05,138 --> 01:17:06,705
Fallon's a legal superstar.

1531
01:17:07,388 --> 01:17:08,321
Oh, wait a minute.

1532
01:17:09,671 --> 01:17:11,771
Sol, but behind the official spear.

1533
01:17:12,355 --> 01:17:14,371
But Jazmyn Nyx is in the ring.

1534
01:17:14,405 --> 01:17:20,155
Oh! Meeting of the minds.
Meeting of the minds.

1535
01:17:20,188 --> 01:17:21,905
-Come on, come on!
-Snatch that Sol!

1536
01:17:21,938 --> 01:17:24,488
-Come on, she's done me good!
-[Vic] Snatch that Sol! Back fist!

1537
01:17:25,238 --> 01:17:26,388
Into the cover!

1538
01:17:26,421 --> 01:17:30,755
-[audience] One, two, three!
-And Lola Vice stays hot.

1539
01:17:32,271 --> 01:17:36,271
[announcer] Here are your winners,
the team of Zaria, Sol Ruca,

1540
01:17:36,304 --> 01:17:39,121
and Lola Vice.

1541
01:17:39,155 --> 01:17:42,321
[Vic] Have you recovered? Are you okay?

1542
01:17:42,355 --> 01:17:45,471
You're dappin' the sweat off your forehead
with your feathered pan.

1543
01:17:45,505 --> 01:17:49,421
I'm glad you kept it for the night.
What a main event!

1544
01:17:51,705 --> 01:17:54,955
Going back right here,
it's been a bad week,

1545
01:17:54,988 --> 01:17:56,855
turn worse for Jacy Jayne.

1546
01:17:56,888 --> 01:18:00,855
Huge spear, then a Solar Snatch
of Jasmine Nyx,

1547
01:18:00,888 --> 01:18:02,955
and bam! That back fist.

1548
01:18:04,304 --> 01:18:09,755
Take another look.
Feel the impact from Lola Vice.

1549
01:18:09,788 --> 01:18:11,521
[all cheering]

1550
01:18:11,554 --> 01:18:17,738
Victorious like she was at Heat Wave.
Victorious here tonight as she heads

1551
01:18:17,771 --> 01:18:19,288
to No Mercy.

1552
01:18:21,005 --> 01:18:25,405
On the topic of No Mercy,
can Saints Revolution stop the reign

1553
01:18:25,438 --> 01:18:27,005
of the Ruler?

1554
01:18:27,038 --> 01:18:32,171
Saints tonight earned the opportunity,
is the number one contender.

1555
01:18:32,205 --> 01:18:36,455
He's gonna face Oba Femi
for the NXT Championship.

1556
01:18:36,488 --> 01:18:39,338
It takes place at No Mercy.

1557
01:18:40,071 --> 01:18:44,105
And in her backyard, we just saw her
victorious moments ago.

1558
01:18:44,138 --> 01:18:46,738
Can she do it in Fort Lauderdale, Florida?

1559
01:18:46,771 --> 01:18:51,105
Lola Vice will try to win gold
when she faces Jacy Jayne,

1560
01:18:51,138 --> 01:18:55,755
Sunday, September 27th,
for the women's title at No Mercy.

1561
01:18:55,788 --> 01:18:59,521
But let's talk about next week, because
these eight men are gonna slug it out.

1562
01:18:59,554 --> 01:19:03,155
An eight-man tag team match coming
your way live next Tuesday,

1563
01:19:03,188 --> 01:19:05,371
right here on NXT.

1564
01:19:05,405 --> 01:19:10,138
But that's next Tuesday.
It's time to celebrate here tonight.

1565
01:19:10,171 --> 01:19:13,488
The birthday girl victorious,
Zaria victorious,

1566
01:19:13,521 --> 01:19:16,771
and the number one contender, victorious.

1567
01:19:17,321 --> 01:19:22,871
Can Jacy Jayne withstand the Latina heat
of Lola Vice,

1568
01:19:22,905 --> 01:19:28,488
or is Lola Vice closing in on becoming
the Women's NXT Champion?
slug it out.
