And Blake Monroe when we talk about strategy, 1284 01:07:51,721 --> 01:07:56,810 you got to think right now for Blake Monroe, take away the power game of Zaria. 1285 01:07:56,843 --> 01:08:00,631 [Booker T] Not just take it away from her, but use that power against her. 1286 01:08:00,663 --> 01:08:05,151 I mean, Zaria early in this matchup, she's gonna have that power. 1287 01:08:05,185 --> 01:08:08,337 She's gonna have that stamina. Like I said, in those deep waters… 1288 01:08:08,372 --> 01:08:12,109 Taking Zaria in those deep, deep waters, drawing her in and drawing her in 1289 01:08:12,142 --> 01:08:13,493 and trying to drown her. 1290 01:08:13,526 --> 01:08:16,446 I think that's what it's gonna be all about for Blake Monroe. 1291 01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,633 [Joseph] Zaria charged in got caught from the challenger, and right now Blake Monroe 1292 01:08:19,666 --> 01:08:22,618 -almost with a smile on her face. -[Zaria screams] 1293 01:08:22,653 --> 01:08:27,674 Trying to hyperextend that left elbow. Trying to do more damage to the shoulder. 1294 01:08:27,707 --> 01:08:31,577 And the official in this match of Joey Gonzalez being a little bit lenient 1295 01:08:31,612 --> 01:08:34,648 as Blake Monroe just looking over at Sol Ruca. 1296 01:08:35,215 --> 01:08:36,215 Keep it inside. 1297 01:08:37,117 --> 01:08:41,572 [Joseph] And again, my heart just goes out to Sol as Blake, target acquired, 1298 01:08:42,288 --> 01:08:46,143 flying in. Bam. And that drop kick to the shoulder of Zaria. 1299 01:08:46,175 --> 01:08:48,895 Into the cover to win the championship. 1300 01:08:48,929 --> 01:08:49,929 And a kick out. 1301 01:08:49,962 --> 01:08:52,648 [Booker T] Is a disadvantage for Sol Ruca to be out here? 1302 01:08:52,683 --> 01:08:55,035 I mean, for Zaria, is that a distraction? 1303 01:08:55,068 --> 01:08:56,853 [Joseph] That's a great question that you bring. 1304 01:08:56,886 --> 01:08:58,304 I mean, do you think it's a distraction? 1305 01:08:58,337 --> 01:09:00,541 I thought Zaria would be able to use it as motivation. 1306 01:09:00,573 --> 01:09:03,260 [Booker T] I think so. This is Zaria's first time under the bright lights, 1307 01:09:03,292 --> 01:09:05,362 like this, defending a title that's not even hers. 1308 01:09:05,394 --> 01:09:08,064 [Joseph] Look at this submission though, Book. Really? 1309 01:09:09,099 --> 01:09:14,688 Trying to bend back the body of Zaria. And Blake Monroe has been on top of Zaria 1310 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,907 and maybe Zaria not ready for those bright lights. 1311 01:09:16,939 --> 01:09:17,941 I don't think it's that. 1312 01:09:17,974 --> 01:09:21,345 I don't think she's ready for Blake Monroe's… [stammers] 1313 01:09:21,377 --> 01:09:24,046 Monroe in rings acumen right now. 1314 01:09:24,081 --> 01:09:27,451 She's looking great. Right now, got Zaria in a bad, bad position. 1315 01:09:27,483 --> 01:09:28,818 [Joseph] I heard what she said. 1316 01:09:28,852 --> 01:09:30,737 I felt like I was back in Houston for a moment, but we're not. 1317 01:09:30,770 --> 01:09:32,856 We're here in Arizona. It's Halloween Havoc. 1318 01:09:32,889 --> 01:09:35,108 -[Booker T chuckles] -And Zaria turning things around 1319 01:09:35,142 --> 01:09:36,443 with a clothesline. 1320 01:09:36,475 --> 01:09:37,477 Big back elbow 1321 01:09:37,510 --> 01:09:40,447 and she just looked out for a moment at Sol Ruca. 1322 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:45,051 Maybe she is using it as motivation. Big pump kick, dropping the challenger. 1323 01:09:45,085 --> 01:09:47,287 [Booker T] Look at Zaria, she's favoring that elbow. 1324 01:09:47,321 --> 01:09:49,456 Could it be hyperextended? That's the question. 1325 01:09:49,488 --> 01:09:50,724 That's the question right there. 1326 01:09:50,756 --> 01:09:54,077 [Joseph] It doesn't look to be affecting her power at this juncture, 1327 01:09:54,111 --> 01:09:57,397 -Belly to back suplex. -[Booker T] Still favoring it though. 1328 01:09:57,431 --> 01:09:59,683 Still favoring that left elbow. 1329 01:09:59,715 --> 01:10:01,835 [Joseph] You talk about the inexperience of Zaria, 1330 01:10:01,869 --> 01:10:03,587 but when it comes to championship matches, 1331 01:10:03,620 --> 01:10:07,708 to my knowledge for Blake Monroe, this is her first title match here in NXT. 1332 01:10:07,741 --> 01:10:09,326 Trying to make the most of it. 1333 01:10:09,358 --> 01:10:14,565 Monroe, who made her debut in July, trying to live up to the hype here tonight. 1334 01:10:15,065 --> 01:10:18,785 More high impact offense. Blocking out the pain, into the cover. 1335 01:10:19,403 --> 01:10:20,888 This matchup is gonna continue. 1336 01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:24,241 [Booker T] Just think about how fast Blake Monroe got to this position though, 1337 01:10:24,273 --> 01:10:25,659 this championship match. 1338 01:10:27,277 --> 01:10:31,481 [Joseph] Take another look, and see the pain on the face of the challenger. 1339 01:10:31,514 --> 01:10:34,684 [Booker T] The thing is, I think it would be a travesty of justice 1340 01:10:34,718 --> 01:10:36,920 even if Blake Monroe wins this matchup. 1341 01:10:36,954 --> 01:10:38,856 She don't want to win the matchup like this. 1342 01:10:38,889 --> 01:10:41,959 She wanted to be Sol Ruca for this championship. 1343 01:10:41,992 --> 01:10:44,795 [Joseph] She wanted Ava to hand her the title Tuesday on NXT. 1344 01:10:44,827 --> 01:10:48,348 She didn't want to fight for it. She wanted to take the easy way out. 1345 01:10:48,382 --> 01:10:49,700 But there is no easy way out. 1346 01:10:49,733 --> 01:10:53,120 [Booker T stammering] The proper… The proper way out. 1347 01:10:53,153 --> 01:10:57,508 [Joseph] We can argue about it all day, but Zaria trying to bend the body 1348 01:10:57,541 --> 01:10:59,175 -of Blake Monroe… -[Booker T] Torture rack. 1349 01:10:59,209 --> 01:11:00,494 …in the center of that ring. 1350 01:11:00,527 --> 01:11:02,596 -And Monroe… Nice counter! -Do you see that? 1351 01:11:02,629 --> 01:11:03,964 Looking for the for the arm bar. 1352 01:11:03,996 --> 01:11:06,400 [Booker T] Did you see that?
