[Booker T] Yeah, man.
You got to get deep, man.

You got to go real deep.

[Joseph] But when we talk
about The Culling,

are we talking about
the most powerful force in NXT?

[Booker T] No, man. I'm perplexed.
I'm gonna say that right now.

I'm perplexed with this situation.

42
00:02:41,105 --> 00:02:45,538

from Miami, Florida,

Lola Vice.

[Joseph] And the one thing
we can't talk about

45
00:02:50,588 --> 00:02:54,871
is this woman because she cannot be
in a good mood after last week.

46
00:02:55,438 --> 00:02:56,838
[Booker T] That's my point.

47
00:02:57,488 --> 00:03:00,571
I mean, Lola Vice is a hell of a talent.

anything like that.

she defeated for that title, Jacy Jayne.

00:04:45,521 --> 00:04:47,971
And I need your opinion on this,
the start of this matchup.

82
00:04:48,005 --> 00:04:51,871
Did Izzi need to take a step back
and support her friend,

83
00:04:51,905 --> 00:04:55,071
not question the decisions
of Tatum Paxley? Lola Vice checks in.

84
00:04:55,104 --> 00:04:58,221
[Booker T] That's called being, uh…
"Playing devil's advocate."

85
00:04:58,255 --> 00:05:00,438
You don't wanna tell somebody
what they want to hear.

86
00:05:00,471 --> 00:05:02,888
You gonna tell them
what they need to hear, Vic.

87
00:05:02,921 --> 00:05:06,755
That's Izzi Dame.
Am I correct here? Am I correct?

88
00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:09,104
[Joseph] I mean, she's been
nothing more than a friend

89
00:05:09,138 --> 00:05:10,788
to Tatum Paxley and Lola Vice…

90
00:05:10,821 --> 00:05:13,555
[Booker T] Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

00:05:20,055 --> 00:05:22,838
as Jacy Jayne
just going to work right now.

early on, Lainey Reid shifting weight.

over everybody, and a near fall.

103

[Booker T] Lainey Reid, I'm watching…
Just got caught right there.

104
00:05:49,321 --> 00:05:51,788
Lainey Reid's a real player. Trust me.

105
00:05:51,821 --> 00:05:55,621
She's been setting the playbook,
and she knows a whole lot

106
00:05:55,655 --> 00:05:58,354
about what's going on
in the middle of this ring, man.

107

[Joseph] Izzi Dame checking in
and overpowering Lainey Reid

108
00:06:01,438 --> 00:06:02,871
here in this moment. Oh!

109
00:06:02,905 --> 00:06:05,088
[Booker T] Oh, yes. You see that?

110
00:06:05,121 --> 00:06:09,538
Beautiful witness timing right there
by the number one draft pick.

111
00:06:09,571 --> 00:06:11,938
[Joseph] Timing was off
with a big clothesline,

112
00:06:11,971 --> 00:06:14,305
and she might wanna rethink
that Draft status

113
00:06:14,338 --> 00:06:16,588
as right now Izzi Dame going to work.

114
00:06:16,621 --> 00:06:18,938
[Booker T] A lot of power there
from Izzi Dame.

115
00:06:18,971 --> 00:06:21,121
That's something
that you just can't teach.

116
00:06:21,155 --> 00:06:22,655
[Joseph] You certainly cannot look.

117
00:06:22,688 --> 00:06:24,888
Tatum Paxley,
who just checked back into the matchup,

118
00:06:24,921 --> 00:06:27,255
has become the best version
of herself and, Booker,

119
00:06:27,288 --> 00:06:30,338
it's due to The Culling.
I can finally admit that I was wrong.

120
00:06:30,371 --> 00:06:33,371
-[Booker T] Not just through The Culling--
-[Joseph] Cover, hook of the leg.

121
00:06:33,405 --> 00:06:36,421
[Booker T] You got to give Tatum Paxley
a whole lot of credit

122
00:06:36,455 --> 00:06:39,088
for the work that she put in
over this last 365.

123
00:06:39,121 --> 00:06:40,455
You got to do that, man.

124
00:06:40,488 --> 00:06:42,638
You cannot take that away
from Tatum Paxley.

125
00:06:42,671 --> 00:06:45,205
[Joseph] I cannot.
I have to admit that I was wrong

126
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,755
about Izzi's intentions
and Shawn Spears' guidance,

127
00:06:47,788 --> 00:06:50,305

but there is no Shawn Spears.

128

out here tonight as Fatal Influence

and certainly… Oh!

00:06:59,488 --> 00:07:01,104
[Booker T] Man, big shot there.

132
00:07:01,138 --> 00:07:04,571
Shawn Spears said that it's not just
about him with The Culling,

133
00:07:04,604 --> 00:07:07,038
it's about The Culling…

134
00:07:07,905 --> 00:07:09,021
in a whole…

135
00:07:09,055 --> 00:07:11,321
Right now, you got to give him
a lot of credit

136
00:07:11,354 --> 00:07:13,305
to put together a great team,

137
00:07:14,104 --> 00:07:16,621
not friends, not buddies, not pals.

138
00:07:16,655 --> 00:07:19,171
[Joseph] I get it.
I understand what you're saying.

139
00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:21,921
But there's Tatum Paxley,
reached out and made the tag.

140
00:07:21,955 --> 00:07:22,938
In comes Lola Vice.

141
00:07:22,971 --> 00:07:24,521
[Booker T] Educated team right there.

142
00:07:24,555 --> 00:07:27,788
[Joseph] And Lola Vice
holds a singles victory over Fallon Henley

143
00:07:27,821 --> 00:07:30,421
just a few weeks ago,
kicked right to the lower spine

144
00:07:30,455 --> 00:07:32,921
into the cover of the leg
and another kick out.

145
00:07:32,955 --> 00:07:35,438
We talk about all the animosity
between these two.

146
00:07:35,471 --> 00:07:36,738
How about Trick Williams?

147

Ricky Saints final comments
before next week's

148
00:07:40,638 --> 00:07:42,571

149
00:07:42,604 --> 00:07:45,155
[Booker T] I can't wait for that match
to go down right there

150
00:07:45,188 --> 00:07:47,805
because Trick Williams,
he's got a score to settle.

151
00:07:47,838 --> 00:07:50,388
He's got a… Oh. Izzi caved deep, baby.

152
00:07:50,421 --> 00:07:51,988
We've seen that before.

helping out Lola Vice.

154
00:07:55,555 --> 00:07:58,671
[Booker T] Right place at the right time,
right there by Tatum.

155
00:07:58,705 --> 00:08:01,038
[Joseph] Lola Vice,
48 hours ago was in Mexico…

156
00:08:01,071 --> 00:08:03,354
-[Booker T] Wait a minute.
-[Joseph] …on commentary,

157
00:08:03,388 --> 00:08:05,188
you've got to respect the grind.

158
00:08:05,221 --> 00:08:07,688
[Booker T] Oh, yeah, man.

159
00:08:08,671 --> 00:08:12,655

the teamwork between these three.

160

Oh, Booker.

161
00:08:14,688 --> 00:08:15,771
Calm down, Book.

162
00:08:15,804 --> 00:08:18,688
[Booker T] We're gonna go round
and round and around, man.

164
00:08:22,721 --> 00:08:26,421
[Joseph] Fatal Influence has really
changed the complexion of this matchup.

165
00:08:26,455 --> 00:08:29,354
And look, it's been a busy
48 hours for Lola Vice.

166
00:08:29,388 --> 00:08:31,188
Have to respect the grind.

167
00:08:31,221 --> 00:08:34,988
Mexico on Sunday night,
here tonight and getting--

168
00:08:35,021 --> 00:08:36,755
[Booker T] Oh, baby!

169
00:08:36,788 --> 00:08:38,304
Oh, baby! Lainey Reid

170
00:08:38,338 --> 00:08:41,038
[Joseph] Reid, knee through Jacy Jayne
who's legal--

171
00:08:41,071 --> 00:08:44,088
-[Booker T] That's it! That's it!
-[Joseph] Into the cover and a kick out.

172
00:08:44,121 --> 00:08:47,255
[Booker T] You see that?
That diva, pinpoint perfect position.

173
00:08:48,204 --> 00:08:50,071
[Joseph] Take another look and again.

174
00:08:50,105 --> 00:08:52,338
Pinpoint precision from Jacy Jayne,

175
00:08:52,371 --> 00:08:54,005
who's here with a point prove.

176
00:08:54,038 --> 00:08:56,388
[Booker T] Damn! Right there.
Beautiful shot.

177
00:08:56,421 --> 00:08:59,238
[Joseph] It wasn't quite
the knockout blow, though, Book.

178
00:08:59,271 --> 00:09:02,305
[Booker T] The referee was a little late
on that count right there, man.

179
00:09:02,338 --> 00:09:03,805
Needs to get in better shape.

180
00:09:03,838 --> 00:09:07,688
[Joseph] Let me put you on the spot, Book.
Do you agree with Fatal Influence

181
00:09:07,721 --> 00:09:09,371
that Halloween Havoc was a fluke?

182
00:09:10,204 --> 00:09:12,488
[Booker T] No,
I don't believe it was a fluke.

183
00:09:12,521 --> 00:09:15,454
[Joseph] So her loss wasn't a fluke.
She lost on her own accord?

184
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:17,555
[Booker T] There was a lot
of shenanigans going on.

185
00:09:17,588 --> 00:09:19,405
That's just part of the business.

186
00:09:19,988 --> 00:09:23,105
You got to accept that,
it's part of the business. No doubt.

187
00:09:23,138 --> 00:09:25,521
But yeah, here we go. Here comes Tatum.

188
00:09:25,555 --> 00:09:27,488
[Joseph] And the NXT Women's Champion

189
00:09:27,521 --> 00:09:30,771
has checked into the matchup
and has turned everything around.

190
00:09:30,805 --> 00:09:35,238
And maybe she has been refocused
by Izzi Dame on the outside.

191
00:09:35,271 --> 00:09:38,204
Izzi right now, playing cheerleader
for her BFF.

192
00:09:38,238 --> 00:09:43,755
And Tatum Paxley is responding
in a massive, triumphant way here tonight.

193
00:09:43,788 --> 00:09:46,888
[Booker T] A lot of energy right there,
man, by Tatum Paxley.

194
00:09:46,921 --> 00:09:50,005
And she's doing it…
Seems like single-handedly right now.

195
00:09:50,038 --> 00:09:52,938
No help. What is this all about?
What is this all about?

196
00:09:52,971 --> 00:09:55,588
[Joseph] Doesn't need help.
She's showing you why she's champion.

197
00:09:55,621 --> 00:09:59,588
She's showing you she can take out
everyone, anyone at any given time.

198
00:09:59,621 --> 00:10:03,188
And right now,
going to the top, champion looking to fly.

199
00:10:03,221 --> 00:10:05,305
Looking for that 450, and a roll through,

200
00:10:05,338 --> 00:10:07,655
nice presence of mind
from the champion backup.

201
00:10:07,688 --> 00:10:08,838
Nice counter.

202
00:10:08,871 --> 00:10:11,321
Look at the pinning predicament,
and a near fall.

203
00:10:12,021 --> 00:10:15,855
Right back up, oh, Tatum dropped
shoulders into the cover,

204
00:10:15,888 --> 00:10:18,305
shifting weight in another near fall.

205
00:10:19,471 --> 00:10:20,988
Oh!

206
00:10:21,021 --> 00:10:23,771
-Lainey Reid on the outside.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby.

207
00:10:23,805 --> 00:10:25,471
Oh, yes, that could be it.

208
00:10:25,505 --> 00:10:28,288
[Joseph] Referee distracted again,
fouled into the cover

209
00:10:28,321 --> 00:10:31,471
and Izzi having to save her partner,
save her friend

210
00:10:31,505 --> 00:10:34,605
and try and run out of Rally Tatum
in this moment.

211
00:10:34,638 --> 00:10:36,488
[Booker T] Come on, ref, do your job.

212
00:10:36,521 --> 00:10:38,871
-[Joseph] He is…
-[Booker T] Do your job, ref.

213
00:10:38,905 --> 00:10:41,805
[Joseph] Inside cradle. Shoulders down.
Look at Izzi.

214
00:10:43,021 --> 00:10:45,138
Izzi… over Tatum. Oh.

215
00:10:46,055 --> 00:10:47,805
-Near fall.
-[Booker T] So close.

216
00:10:48,704 --> 00:10:51,871
[Joseph] Feel bad for the official
in this match, Derek Sanders.

217
00:10:51,905 --> 00:10:56,021
Six women, a lot of animosity
between everyone.

218
00:10:56,055 --> 00:10:57,555
The champion, right now.

219
00:10:57,588 --> 00:10:59,938
[Booker T] Everybody feels sorry for him.

220
00:10:59,971 --> 00:11:02,388
He's a referee. He's an official.
He's a trained…

221
00:11:02,421 --> 00:11:04,871
He's a pro.
He should know what he's doing.

222
00:11:04,905 --> 00:11:07,805
[Joseph] He's trying to right now
take care of business.

223
00:11:07,838 --> 00:11:09,171
[Booker T] Oh, yes!

224
00:11:09,988 --> 00:11:12,905
[Joseph] Lainey Reid just got caught with
a back fist,

225
00:11:12,938 --> 00:11:15,388
big neck breaker from Jacy Jayne.

226
00:11:15,421 --> 00:11:17,505
Izzi coming in out of nowhere.

227
00:11:17,538 --> 00:11:20,788
Watch out for Fallon.
Blockbuster from the second rope

228
00:11:20,821 --> 00:11:23,338
-and she's the only one…
-[Booker T] Oh, yes.

229
00:11:25,571 --> 00:11:27,988
-Damn.
-[Joseph] …women's same thought process.

230
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:30,638
And as I talk about the official,
I was talking about

231
00:11:30,671 --> 00:11:34,005
our general manager, Ava,
a lot on her plate Gold Rush in two weeks

232
00:11:34,038 --> 00:11:38,704
from the theater at Madison Square Garden,
Deadline on December 6th in San Antonio

233
00:11:38,738 --> 00:11:42,771
and everything and all the
combustible elements here tonight.

234
00:11:42,805 --> 00:11:44,938
Expect the unexpected.

235
00:11:44,971 --> 00:11:47,204
[Booker T] Right now
we got a hell of a match

236
00:11:47,238 --> 00:11:49,038
hitting this thing off here tonight.

237
00:11:49,838 --> 00:11:51,138
Who to come out on top?

238
00:11:51,171 --> 00:11:53,838
A lot of bragging rights
in a matchup like this, Vic.

239
00:11:53,871 --> 00:11:57,305
[Joseph] It is. Right now, looking for
Cemetery Drive was countered.

240
00:11:58,088 --> 00:12:01,421
Tatum says it's no longer a psycho trap.
She's trying to put…

241
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:05,738
-[Booker T] Right there. Right there.
-[Joseph] …down-- And yeah, you're right.

242
00:12:05,771 --> 00:12:09,888
Jacy didn't tag. I was confused
for a second, but Izzi also made the tag.

243
00:12:09,921 --> 00:12:11,171
And Izzy right now.

244
00:12:11,204 --> 00:12:13,555
[Joseph and Booker T exclaim]

245
00:12:13,588 --> 00:12:18,588
-Ruling encore and Jacy just pinned Izzi.
-[bell rings]

246
00:12:18,621 --> 00:12:20,538
["The Chosen" playing]

247
00:12:20,571 --> 00:12:26,305
[Rome] Here are your winners,
Fatal Influence.

248
00:12:29,588 --> 00:12:30,954
[Booker T] Stand up, man.

249
00:12:31,505 --> 00:12:33,805
[Joseph] Well, some members
of the NXT Universe

250
00:12:33,838 --> 00:12:39,005
are with their thumbs down
as Fatal Influence, victorious,

251
00:12:40,421 --> 00:12:42,121
here to kick us off on NXT.

252
00:12:42,155 --> 00:12:44,288
But right here, you see Izzi

253
00:12:44,321 --> 00:12:49,071
throwing her friend out of the way,
taking a bullet for her partner,

254
00:12:49,105 --> 00:12:53,071
and in the end,
suffered the defeat here tonight.

255
00:12:54,871 --> 00:13:00,971
And in the end, it was Jacy
delivering a fatal blow to Lola Vice.

256
00:13:01,005 --> 00:13:02,655
And The Culling.

257
00:13:06,805 --> 00:13:10,588
[speaking Spanish]

258
00:13:29,771 --> 00:13:32,421
Put your hands on that,
I will put my hands on you.

259
00:13:32,454 --> 00:13:34,121
You heard me?

260
00:13:34,821 --> 00:13:38,538
[speaking Spanish]

261
00:13:39,688 --> 00:13:40,721
Shut up, man.

262
00:13:40,755 --> 00:13:44,305
I don't care that you are a big deal
in AAA and you got the speed title.

263
00:13:44,338 --> 00:13:47,471
I make my money
putting down fan favorites like y'all.

264
00:13:47,505 --> 00:13:50,005
You might be able to beat
a rookie like Jasper Troy

265
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:52,855
but how long do you think
you can survive with me?

266
00:13:53,905 --> 00:13:57,488
No title, no time limit, no pity.

267
00:13:57,521 --> 00:13:58,838
Comprende?

268
00:13:58,871 --> 00:14:01,954
[speaking Spanish]

269
00:14:27,621 --> 00:14:29,321
[Vic] What a matchup that will be.

270
00:14:29,354 --> 00:14:32,905
Here tonight, the last week,
an uncharacteristic act

271
00:14:32,938 --> 00:14:35,738
helps Kelani Jordan retain
the Knockouts Title.

272
00:14:35,771 --> 00:14:39,088
We will hear
from the champion, live, next.

273
00:14:43,305 --> 00:14:46,338
[Vic] The TNA Knockout Championship
was on the line.

274
00:14:46,371 --> 00:14:49,204
And there you see Kelani Jordan,
the champion,

275
00:14:49,238 --> 00:14:52,655
cut a corner to retain her title.

276
00:14:52,688 --> 00:14:54,338
The referee was distracted.

277
00:14:54,371 --> 00:14:58,238
An uncharacteristic act
from Kelani Jordan.

278
00:14:58,271 --> 00:15:02,938
Smashing the championship
into the face of the challenger

279
00:15:02,971 --> 00:15:04,721
which was Jordynne Grace.

280
00:15:04,755 --> 00:15:06,704
Jordynne Grace took to social media.

281
00:15:06,738 --> 00:15:11,938
And there you can see the impact
that was made from that strike.

282
00:15:11,971 --> 00:15:14,538
There was one knockout though
that saw what happened

283
00:15:14,571 --> 00:15:17,405
and spoke up on what she saw.

284
00:15:20,888 --> 00:15:23,488
Lies! Lies! Lies!

285
00:15:23,521 --> 00:15:29,221
Kelani Jordan, you brought shame to
yourself and to the TNA Knockouts Title.

286
00:15:29,255 --> 00:15:30,671
You fought us.

287
00:15:30,704 --> 00:15:33,071
You act like a good person.

288
00:15:33,104 --> 00:15:34,704
And we all believed you.

289
00:15:34,738 --> 00:15:37,155
But last week, you cheat.

290
00:15:37,671 --> 00:15:41,704
You have to hit Jordynne Grace
in the face with the title

291
00:15:41,738 --> 00:15:43,338
just to win.

292
00:15:43,371 --> 00:15:46,021
You should be ashamed of yourself.

293
00:15:47,454 --> 00:15:50,621
I will not let you shame our title.

294
00:15:50,655 --> 00:15:53,655
I will not let you drag down our division.

295
00:15:54,488 --> 00:15:57,171
So be prepared for the battle.

296
00:15:57,204 --> 00:15:59,271
Because I will be the one

297
00:15:59,305 --> 00:16:02,704
who takes the Knockouts Championship
from you.

298
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:06,204
I don't know how you did it, Kendal,
but you did.

299
00:16:06,238 --> 00:16:08,405
You beat Lash to retain that Evolve Title

300
00:16:08,438 --> 00:16:11,338
and now you are an official member
of the Wren-QCC.

301
00:16:11,371 --> 00:16:13,571
-Congratulations.
-Look, Wren, I'm not gonna lie.

302
00:16:13,604 --> 00:16:15,755
Lash was kicking my ass
but I cut her down.

303
00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:17,471
An I got my first one in NXT.

304
00:16:17,505 --> 00:16:18,821
And that's just the start.

305
00:16:18,854 --> 00:16:22,271
You've inspired me, Kendal,
and tonight, I'm in the speed tournament.

306
00:16:22,305 --> 00:16:24,171
I can't wait.
It's going to be so fun.

307
00:16:24,204 --> 00:16:25,821
You're gonna win the Speed Championship,

308
00:16:25,854 --> 00:16:27,788
and I'm gonna continue
being the Evolve Champion.

309
00:16:27,821 --> 00:16:32,588
And the Wren-QCC
will be ready for anyone and everyone.

310
00:16:34,521 --> 00:16:36,055
Isn't this cute?

311
00:16:36,088 --> 00:16:39,238
I remember when I was just like you
after I won my first title.

312
00:16:40,621 --> 00:16:42,171
But you'll learn.

313
00:16:42,204 --> 00:16:43,354
All of you will.

314
00:16:43,388 --> 00:16:46,171
In fact, you should listen to
what I'm about to say.

315
00:16:46,204 --> 00:16:47,704
Go find a monitor.

316
00:16:47,738 --> 00:16:49,171
A monitor?

317
00:16:52,838 --> 00:16:55,021
["Out of This World" by Def Rebel playing]

318
00:16:56,354 --> 00:17:00,121
[Vic] I think we are all interested
to hear from the champion

319
00:17:00,155 --> 00:17:02,305

["Out of This World" by Def Rebel playing]

324
00:17:19,988 --> 00:17:25,888
[Vic] Certainly a different look
in the eyes of the TNA Knockouts Champion.

325
00:17:25,921 --> 00:17:30,155
[Booker T] I don't think
Kelani has anyone to answer to.

326
00:17:30,188 --> 00:17:34,938
I mean, the way I look at it, Victor,
business is business, dawg.

327

You feel me?

328
00:17:38,921 --> 00:17:40,221
Huh?

329
00:17:53,721 --> 00:17:54,921

330
00:17:54,955 --> 00:17:56,004

to keep this TNA Knockouts
World Championship

by any means necessary.

335
00:18:12,371 --> 00:18:16,821
I guess you could say it was
a bit out of character for Kelani Jordan.

336
00:18:16,855 --> 00:18:18,338
[crowd booing]

337
00:18:18,371 --> 00:18:20,638
Shut up while a champion is talking.

338
00:18:20,671 --> 00:18:22,421
[crowd booing]

339
00:18:30,988 --> 00:18:32,638
Let me ask you a question.

340
00:18:34,188 --> 00:18:39,988
Why is it when Dominik Mysterio cheats
and wins a triple-A mega-championship,

341
00:18:40,021 --> 00:18:42,504
come you guys all cheer and love him?

342
00:18:43,771 --> 00:18:47,254
When Cody Rhodes uses his title
against Drew McIntyre

343
00:18:47,288 --> 00:18:48,754
on Saturday night Main Event,

344
00:18:48,788 --> 00:18:52,071
you guys are still gonna sing his song
come Friday night.

345
00:18:53,504 --> 00:18:56,504
But why does everyone have
a problem with me?

346
00:18:58,621 --> 00:19:03,671
This is why NXT is drowning in hypocrisy.

347
00:19:05,388 --> 00:19:11,188
An opportunity came up when
Ash By Elegance vacated this title.

348
00:19:11,688 --> 00:19:14,721
I come in and win it on the first night.

349
00:19:15,738 --> 00:19:21,271
And I tell myself, I'm not going
to be a champion like Trick Williams.

350
00:19:21,304 --> 00:19:25,338
I'm not going to trash the brand
and wear my title upside down.

351
00:19:26,405 --> 00:19:30,855
I will hold the title
with honor and prestige.

352
00:19:30,888 --> 00:19:33,971
A title held by so many great women.

353
00:19:34,771 --> 00:19:36,288
And you know what that gets me?

354
00:19:38,254 --> 00:19:39,271
Booed.

355
00:19:40,221 --> 00:19:41,855
Kicked out the locker room.

356
00:19:42,655 --> 00:19:47,205
Labeled as a traitor amongst
people who I thought were my friends.

357
00:19:49,421 --> 00:19:52,455
How dare you represent TNA, Kelani?

358
00:19:53,288 --> 00:19:57,471
Oh, oh, oh. So I can't do that,
but it's okay for Lola Vice

359
00:19:57,504 --> 00:20:01,821
to go to AAA every other week
and we all love that for Lola.

360
00:20:03,388 --> 00:20:04,838
So, let's tell the truth.

361
00:20:06,754 --> 00:20:11,405
The truth is, I was kicked out
the locker room

362
00:20:11,438 --> 00:20:16,421
by women who haven't accomplished
half of what I've accomplished in NXT.

363
00:20:18,455 --> 00:20:22,621
I don't just call myself the standout
for no reason.

364
00:20:23,871 --> 00:20:28,455
I've been the standout since my tryout
in Nashville three years ago.

365
00:20:29,321 --> 00:20:35,538
To this day, there is not a woman
that can keep up with me athletically.

366
00:20:36,488 --> 00:20:41,188
They know it back there
and all of you guys know it out here.

367
00:20:41,221 --> 00:20:42,721
[crowd booing]

368
00:20:46,838 --> 00:20:50,938
But the sad thing is, they don't care.

369
00:20:52,988 --> 00:20:57,371
They switch their minds every single week.

370
00:20:57,405 --> 00:20:58,705
They are not loyal.

371
00:21:00,138 --> 00:21:04,455
They only care
about who fits their little narratives.

372
00:21:04,488 --> 00:21:06,821
Girls with fat asses and catchphrases.

373
00:21:06,855 --> 00:21:08,605
When what they should be caring about

374
00:21:08,638 --> 00:21:12,205
is I'm the most elite athlete
to set foot in this ring!

375
00:21:12,238 --> 00:21:14,455
[crowd booing]

376
00:21:20,705 --> 00:21:24,088
Perfect example, Jordynne Grace,

377
00:21:24,121 --> 00:21:27,288
every single one of you booed her
out the building.

378
00:21:27,971 --> 00:21:32,554
And here I come and knock her upside down
with my title and some truth.

379
00:21:32,588 --> 00:21:35,488
And oh, now I'm public enemy number one.

380
00:21:36,888 --> 00:21:39,138
You guys aren't fans.

381
00:21:40,605 --> 00:21:41,955
You are followers.

382
00:21:47,921 --> 00:21:51,871
And no, I'm not going to be
a champion like Tatum Paxley,

383
00:21:51,905 --> 00:21:54,054
handing out opportunities left and right.

384
00:21:54,088 --> 00:21:56,054
It's my time to be selfish now.

385
00:21:58,054 --> 00:22:02,121
So yeah, I know Gold Rush is
coming up in New York City.

386
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:04,504
But I'm not defending my title.

387
00:22:04,538 --> 00:22:06,571
I'm staying at home.

388
00:22:06,605 --> 00:22:10,038
There's no woman in NXT
or the TNA locker room

389
00:22:10,071 --> 00:22:12,188
who is worthy and who has earned it.

390
00:22:14,638 --> 00:22:19,004
So yeah, Léi Ying Lee,
I see you chattering on social media.

391
00:22:19,754 --> 00:22:21,621
Girl, I barely even know you.

392
00:22:21,655 --> 00:22:23,488
You are not even on my radar.

393
00:22:26,188 --> 00:22:29,004
And by the way, I've already beaten you.

394
00:22:29,038 --> 00:22:30,238
Hello.

395
00:22:32,288 --> 00:22:34,771
So call me a traitor.

396
00:22:36,288 --> 00:22:38,871
Call me disloyal.

397
00:22:40,004 --> 00:22:42,321
Call me whatever the hell you want.

398
00:22:43,721 --> 00:22:50,038
But one thing
that you are going to call me is champion.

399
00:22:54,521 --> 00:22:58,988
[Vic] What a mic drop from Kelani Jordan.

400
00:22:59,788 --> 00:23:05,205
A different side being seen
and certainly heard here tonight.

401
00:23:06,271 --> 00:23:09,371
But the action always going on NXT.

402
00:23:09,405 --> 00:23:12,538
Josh Briggs ready for battle
after an earlier interaction

403
00:23:12,571 --> 00:23:17,205
with his opponent, the lucha legend,
El Grande Americano.

404
00:23:17,238 --> 00:23:19,355
He's set to make his NXT debut,

405
00:23:19,388 --> 00:23:21,588
these two meet one-on-one, next.

406
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:31,071
OTM, you made quite an impact since
returning to NXT a few weeks ago.

407
00:23:31,105 --> 00:23:34,438
Why destroy three teams
and ruin the Triple Threat match?

408
00:23:34,471 --> 00:23:35,871
Take some championships.

409
00:23:35,905 --> 00:23:37,421
That's the only thing we have.

410
00:23:37,455 --> 00:23:39,754
We ain't chasing dreams no more.
We taking 'em.

411
00:23:39,788 --> 00:23:42,971

this time around.

We coming for everything, everybody in
that locker room been taking for granted.

413
00:23:46,688 --> 00:23:49,438
We are stepping on every single thought
that gets in the way of that.

414
00:23:49,471 --> 00:23:51,471
But we did to
those three teams that night,

415
00:23:51,504 --> 00:23:54,705
that was a glimpse of what's to come
for the entire tag team division.

416
00:23:54,738 --> 00:23:57,155
They don't got our struggles,
they don't got our rage,

417
00:23:57,188 --> 00:24:00,221
and they damn sure,
damn sure don't got our scores.

[speaks Spanish]

419
00:24:01,121 --> 00:24:02,605
[in English] We can change that part.

420

We ain't got to yell no more. Mmm-mmm.

We learned how to whisper in that

422
00:24:07,938 --> 00:24:11,121
OTM wants silence that shakes the room.

423
00:24:11,155 --> 00:24:12,771
Um, I'm sorry.

424
00:24:12,804 --> 00:24:16,888
Um, what, y'all think that we're not gonna
forget what you did to us?

425
00:24:16,921 --> 00:24:18,455
You guys have issues.

426
00:24:18,488 --> 00:24:19,721
Let's handle 'em.

427
00:24:19,754 --> 00:24:22,205
Quite frankly, we are sick and tired
of everybody thinking

428
00:24:22,238 --> 00:24:24,388
that Chase used a stepping stone
for his own career.

429
00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:25,855
Yeah, Banks' players acting like--

430
00:24:25,888 --> 00:24:27,188
Oh, you got jokes, huh, buddy?

431
00:24:27,221 --> 00:24:28,754
Guys, relax. What's going on?

432
00:24:28,788 --> 00:24:30,504
We can take y'all to the ER right now.

433
00:24:30,538 --> 00:24:33,338
No, it's okay. No ER visiting necessary.
I got this. I'll handle it.

434
00:24:33,371 --> 00:24:34,754
-I got it.
-Come on, bro.

435
00:24:37,221 --> 00:24:38,338
Pissing off OTM?

436
00:24:39,121 --> 00:24:41,155
Y'all really think that's a good idea?

437
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:43,038
Do you listen to a single word I say?

438
00:24:46,955 --> 00:24:50,004
[Vic] I think that might be the first time
you agree with Andre Chase.

439
00:24:50,038 --> 00:24:51,754
[Booker T] Damn skippy hippy.

in the locker room between these two,

448
00:25:40,188 --> 00:25:42,254

You gotta give, look at that.

They tried to keep this guy down,

El Grande Americano has competed

for over a decade around the world.

482
00:27:45,705 --> 00:27:47,054
Yeah, but they're trying to shut him down.

a mythical figure, man, like Pancho Villa.

right here, he's a legend already.

Look at the shape you see,
look at the shape.

488
00:28:04,538 --> 00:28:07,771
Well, 24 hours ago,
he competed against Penta on Raw,

489
00:28:07,804 --> 00:28:11,071
so he's probably not quite 100%,
but how about this?

490
00:28:11,105 --> 00:28:16,571
There's a statue of El Grande Americana
going up in Victoria, Mexico to honor him.

493
00:28:25,804 --> 00:28:27,155
but the Mexicano.

494
00:28:27,188 --> 00:28:28,838
[Vic] Some would say
the greatest luchador,

495
00:28:28,871 --> 00:28:31,238
the greatest masked superstar
was Rey Mysterio,

496
00:28:31,271 --> 00:28:33,338
who made his return last night to Raw,

497
00:28:33,371 --> 00:28:35,938
getting right in the face
of Dominik Mysterio.

498
00:28:35,971 --> 00:28:38,821
But look at El Grande, Americano,
right in with a nice deep arm drag.

499
00:28:38,855 --> 00:28:42,938

deep inside arm drag right there

with Rayo, Bravo not able to secure him

502
00:28:49,321 --> 00:28:50,638
his own locker room.

503
00:28:50,671 --> 00:28:55,605
But certainly right now,
things coming up for El Grande Americano.

504
00:28:55,638 --> 00:28:58,088
[Booker T] Most people would think
they had Josh Briggs.

505
00:28:58,121 --> 00:29:00,105
[Vic] Look at this unique style
of defense!

506
00:29:00,138 --> 00:29:01,521
[Booker T] That's balance,

507
00:29:01,554 --> 00:29:07,021
that's balance right there, execution by--
That right there puts so much pressure

508
00:29:07,054 --> 00:29:11,304
-on Josh Briggs and his upper torso.
-Well, I think it was a nice counter

509
00:29:11,338 --> 00:29:13,638
into a hammerlock opposed
to what you were talking about.

510
00:29:13,671 --> 00:29:15,638
But nonetheless, you're the one
with the two Hall of Fame rings.

511
00:29:15,671 --> 00:29:18,605
-Exactly.
-A nice elbow right to the snout,

512
00:29:18,638 --> 00:29:22,688
as Booker would say.
El Grande Americano soccer style kick.

513
00:29:22,721 --> 00:29:24,371
Whoo-ee, man.

514
00:29:25,121 --> 00:29:28,738
I'm talking about a little painly
action right there, dog.

515
00:29:28,771 --> 00:29:31,488
[Vic] Standout in recent months
in Triple-A, of course, as we mentioned,

516
00:29:31,521 --> 00:29:36,071
Green Pageler, Mui Grande,
championship celebration still to come.

517
00:29:38,738 --> 00:29:44,021
-It's taken a little too much time.
-[Booker T speaks other language]

518
00:29:44,054 --> 00:29:45,671
[Vic] Wait a minute.

519
00:29:47,021 --> 00:29:52,121
What does El Grande Americano see?
That is just for Troy.

520
00:29:52,155 --> 00:29:58,121
-Oh, yes, that monster. Oh, yes, yes.
-Troy, the man who will compete

521
00:29:58,155 --> 00:30:00,521
-Better cover him, son.
-for the championship next week,

522
00:30:00,554 --> 00:30:04,804
but Briggs just laid out, apparently
Troy's come to get a close look.

523
00:30:10,554 --> 00:30:15,221
NXT Universe fired up as Jasper Troy
on hand looking at El Grande Americano,

524
00:30:15,254 --> 00:30:18,738
the man he'll challenge next week
live here on NXT

525
00:30:18,771 --> 00:30:20,521
for the Speed Championship.

526
00:30:20,554 --> 00:30:23,504
But the international sensation
is here for the first time,

527
00:30:23,538 --> 00:30:27,088
battling Josh Briggs in right now,
El Grande Americano.

528
00:30:27,855 --> 00:30:30,538
-Trying to battle back, got caught.
-Yes.

529
00:30:30,571 --> 00:30:31,821
-Got splashed.
-Yes.

530
00:30:31,855 --> 00:30:33,554
And the cover, hook of the leg,

531
00:30:33,588 --> 00:30:36,038
Briggs looking for the win
and a near fall.

532
00:30:36,071 --> 00:30:39,504
Josh Briggs, right there taking the…

533
00:30:39,538 --> 00:30:42,754
El Grande Americano up
and just dropping him

534
00:30:42,788 --> 00:30:45,855
and dropping him hard in the middle
of that square circle.

535
00:30:45,888 --> 00:30:48,504
[Vic] And I believe, Booker, everything
Josh Briggs says,

536
00:30:48,538 --> 00:30:51,121
that he doesn't care about his opponent.

537
00:30:51,155 --> 00:30:54,688
He doesn't care about the fans.
And I'm sure you believe him as well.

538
00:30:54,721 --> 00:30:57,455
[Booker T] Josh Briggs is a guy
who's looking to pump it up, man.

539
00:30:57,488 --> 00:31:00,605
Like I said, win over Americano here
tonight's plenty.

540
00:31:00,638 --> 00:31:06,221
I'm talking about the guy that everybody's
gonna be talking about Saturday night.

541
00:31:06,254 --> 00:31:07,921
-Here we go.
-Oh.

542
00:31:09,221 --> 00:31:11,554
[Vic] Reaching back to Cancun
for that last one.

543
00:31:11,588 --> 00:31:15,338
Now look at the balancing act,
got caught though at Josh Briggs.

544
00:31:15,371 --> 00:31:18,788
-Big shots, big shots.
-One step ahead of the Speed Champion.

545
00:31:18,821 --> 00:31:21,388
And there again, Ryo Bravo on the outside.

546
00:31:21,421 --> 00:31:23,554
[Booker T] I mean, they need to mind
their own business, man.

547
00:31:23,588 --> 00:31:25,538
-What did they do, Booker?
-I mean, they're talking,

548
00:31:25,571 --> 00:31:28,988
they're distracting Josh Briggs
right there is what they're doing.

549
00:31:29,021 --> 00:31:31,004
[crowd chanting] You still suck.

550
00:31:31,821 --> 00:31:35,321
I think you can understand that
in any language where the NXT Universe

551
00:31:35,355 --> 00:31:37,271
is chanting at Josh Briggs.

552
00:31:37,921 --> 00:31:41,788
Briggs who has really gotten under
the skin of every member

553
00:31:41,821 --> 00:31:44,138
of the NXT Universe over
the last several months.

554
00:31:44,171 --> 00:31:47,038
Certainly be a feather in his cap
if he's able to beat

555
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:50,205
-or even unmask Grande Americano.
-Great move, great move.

556
00:31:50,238 --> 00:31:52,054
-How disrespectful.
-What the hell?

557
00:31:52,088 --> 00:31:54,571
-What the hell?
-You know what a mask means.

558
00:31:54,605 --> 00:31:59,171
-You know how sacred that mask is, Owen.
-DQ right there, man.

559
00:31:59,888 --> 00:32:01,571
Damn luchadores.

560
00:32:01,605 --> 00:32:04,738
[Vic] Danny using his own discretion
in that moment,

561
00:32:04,771 --> 00:32:09,271
taking a little too much time
and a flying tackle.

562
00:32:10,605 --> 00:32:14,254
Flying shoulder block,
a flying El Grande Americano,

563
00:32:14,288 --> 00:32:15,521
knocking down Josh Briggs.

564
00:32:15,554 --> 00:32:17,571
[Booker T] I mean, what was
the ref thinking right there?

565
00:32:17,605 --> 00:32:19,254
I mean, in a situation like that.

566
00:32:19,288 --> 00:32:22,188
I mean, two luchadores
just jump up on the apron like that.

567
00:32:22,221 --> 00:32:24,605
I mean, that was a distraction
of all distractions

568
00:32:24,638 --> 00:32:27,688
[Vic] So it was okay that it happened
in the first match, but not in this match?

569
00:32:27,721 --> 00:32:29,754
We're not talking about that.
We're talking about this.

570
00:32:30,955 --> 00:32:33,421
Well, how about you feel that?
And how about you get another one too?

571
00:32:33,455 --> 00:32:35,554
And look at El Grande Americano go.

572
00:32:35,588 --> 00:32:37,538
Look, I have nothing against
El Grande Americano

573
00:32:37,571 --> 00:32:41,138
I've been wanting to see this match,
highly anticipated match.

574
00:32:41,171 --> 00:32:46,155
-But I want no outside interference.
-[Vic] There was no outside interference.

575
00:32:46,188 --> 00:32:48,488
Josh Briggs got distracted
on his own accord,

576
00:32:48,521 --> 00:32:52,471
but I don't know if El Grande Americano's
got enough for the tank.

577
00:32:52,504 --> 00:32:54,821
[Booker T] 290 pounds right there,
six foot eight inches tall.

578
00:32:55,621 --> 00:32:58,405
Whoa, discus chop of sorts, and again,

579
00:32:58,438 --> 00:33:01,554
24 hours removed from competing
against Penta.

580
00:33:01,588 --> 00:33:05,288
Here's El Grande Americano
on Monday Night Raw in New Mexico.

581
00:33:05,321 --> 00:33:09,488
It didn't work the first time.
Second time, a blockbuster,

582
00:33:09,521 --> 00:33:10,538
it worked that time.

583
00:33:10,571 --> 00:33:14,605
And right now, it is rally time
for the Speed Champion.

584
00:33:14,638 --> 00:33:17,754
[Booker T] The big shot right there
by Americano.

585
00:33:17,788 --> 00:33:21,138
[crowd chanting] Olé, olé, olé.

586
00:33:23,171 --> 00:33:28,238
-[Vic] NXT Universe, cheering on.
-[Booker T] Oh, baby!

587
00:33:33,938 --> 00:33:35,205
[Booker T] Wow.

588
00:33:37,571 --> 00:33:42,638
[Vic] This place becoming absolutely
unglued for El Grande. Hey!

589
00:33:44,788 --> 00:33:48,121
Well, Briggs, by any means necessary.
Look-- ooh!

590
00:33:49,288 --> 00:33:51,171
That certainly will turn the complexion
of a match.

591
00:33:51,205 --> 00:33:55,105
[Booker T] That was gnarly there.
That was a gnarly shot by the big man.

592
00:33:55,138 --> 00:33:58,004
He's looking to take advantage of it.

593
00:33:58,771 --> 00:34:00,621
-Move quick, son.
-[Vic] Briggs, of course,

594
00:34:00,655 --> 00:34:03,288
at the desk last week, he got involved.

595
00:34:03,321 --> 00:34:05,838
-What the hell is going on here?
-Oh, there's Tavion Heights.

596
00:34:05,871 --> 00:34:09,605
Just getting ready to talk about
Josh Briggs, and last week he interfered,

597
00:34:09,638 --> 00:34:12,138
he stuck his nose in that man's business.

598
00:34:12,654 --> 00:34:14,904
And the Los Americanos.

599
00:34:16,188 --> 00:34:17,888
-Are you kidding me?
-Double backstabber.

600
00:34:17,921 --> 00:34:20,054
-Are you kidding me?
-Quadruple knees to the spine.

601
00:34:20,088 --> 00:34:21,654
-Are you kidding me?
-I am not.

602
00:34:22,855 --> 00:34:27,221
And from behind, a submission locked in,
and we get a tap.

603
00:34:27,255 --> 00:34:30,271
-[bell dinging]
-El Grande Americano picks up momentum

604
00:34:30,304 --> 00:34:31,438
in the next week.

605
00:34:32,738 --> 00:34:34,771
[announcer speaking indistinctly]

606
00:34:34,804 --> 00:34:39,654
[announcer] El Grande Americano.

607
00:34:40,454 --> 00:34:46,238
[Vic] And Jasper Troy, your monster,
looking on at the man he'll face.

608
00:34:46,271 --> 00:34:50,071
But Tavion Heights provided
the distraction.

609
00:34:50,105 --> 00:34:57,038
Los Americanos and El Grande Americano
making Josh Briggs pay,

610
00:34:57,071 --> 00:34:59,805
making him tap in the center of the ring.

611
00:34:59,838 --> 00:35:03,538
And can El Grande Americano
make it two in a row?

612
00:35:04,105 --> 00:35:08,221
Can he retain the speed title
versus Jasper Troy?

613
00:35:08,255 --> 00:35:15,021
That championship showdown is live
next week right here on NXT.

614
00:35:21,921 --> 00:35:27,421
Cut, cut, cut, I am scared.
This is gonna be so intense.

615
00:35:27,455 --> 00:35:28,555
Did you watch?

616
00:35:28,588 --> 00:35:31,305
-We did, and actually--
-Look, Ren, your speed match is coming up.

617
00:35:31,338 --> 00:35:33,805
-You need to focus, let's go.
-It's probably a good idea.

618
00:35:34,838 --> 00:35:37,588
Kelani, I actually wanted to talk to you
about something in my office.

619
00:35:37,621 --> 00:35:39,521
-Can we go that way?
-This should be good, let's hear it.

620
00:35:40,321 --> 00:35:42,305
Okay, well, I wanted to talk privately,
but sure,

621
00:35:42,338 --> 00:35:44,821
we can do this in front of everyone.
I heard what you said about

622
00:35:44,855 --> 00:35:46,638
not defending your Knockouts title
at Gold Rush

623
00:35:46,671 --> 00:35:49,605
and I just wanted to remind you
that it's not your decision.

624
00:35:49,638 --> 00:35:52,971
Well, Ava, it's not your decision either,
because last time I checked,

625
00:35:53,005 --> 00:35:55,838
you're the GM of NXT, not TNA.

626
00:35:55,871 --> 00:36:01,371
Dang, Kelani, first you cheated to win,
now you're disrespecting the WWE Universe

627
00:36:01,404 --> 00:36:04,738
and you're disrespecting our GM?
What has gotten into you?

628
00:36:04,771 --> 00:36:09,521
I joined NXT as a fellow athlete
and I looked up to you.

629
00:36:09,555 --> 00:36:10,438
You still can.

630
00:36:11,055 --> 00:36:14,154
Look Tara, I'm just telling it
like it is now, and the way it is,

631
00:36:14,188 --> 00:36:19,138
is when I step foot into any room,
I'm the most gifted superstar,

632
00:36:19,171 --> 00:36:22,721
and you become something that
every Olympic gold medalist

633
00:36:22,755 --> 00:36:25,438
is unfamiliar with in that second place.

634
00:36:25,471 --> 00:36:28,455
-Oh!
-Kelani, let me make something clear.

635
00:36:28,488 --> 00:36:33,271
You're right, I'm not the GM of TNA,
but I am the GM of NXT

636
00:36:33,305 --> 00:36:34,721
and this is my show.

637
00:36:34,755 --> 00:36:37,188
So if you wanna act like you call
the shots, sure.

638
00:36:37,221 --> 00:36:40,721
You can test your luck tonight against
an Olympic gold medalist.

639
00:36:40,755 --> 00:36:44,305
Oh, oh. Oh, yeah, we'll see
who would like second place.

640
00:36:44,955 --> 00:36:47,138
-Right.
-Bye.

641
00:36:47,171 --> 00:36:48,371
-This way.
-Yes, sir.

642
00:36:48,404 --> 00:36:51,571
Yeah, Ricky, we have you all set up
for the interview right in here.

643
00:36:51,605 --> 00:36:53,404
-There we go. Ricky.
-Hey, my man.

644
00:36:53,438 --> 00:36:55,438
-How you doing, man?
-Hey, look, I know you got

645
00:36:55,471 --> 00:36:58,705
a last man standing with Chuck next week.
But if you can,

646
00:36:58,738 --> 00:37:01,805
-save a piece of him for me, all right?
-You say less.

647
00:37:01,838 --> 00:37:02,671
Appreciate you.

648
00:37:06,788 --> 00:37:09,388
[Vic] Booker,
it was 48 hours ago in Mexico,

649
00:37:09,421 --> 00:37:13,121
Ethan Page and Chelsea Green
competed at a AAA event.

650
00:37:13,154 --> 00:37:17,171
And as you can see through the chaos,
Chelsea Green seized her moment,

651
00:37:17,205 --> 00:37:19,555
pulled off a stunner.

652
00:37:19,588 --> 00:37:22,421
And now these two, Green and Page,

653
00:37:22,455 --> 00:37:29,255
are the brand new AAA mixed
tag team champions.

654
00:37:29,288 --> 00:37:31,305
They've had support from
all over the world,

655
00:37:31,338 --> 00:37:34,605
including from Senior Vice President
of Talent Development and Creative

656
00:37:34,638 --> 00:37:35,855
here at NXT.

657
00:37:36,421 --> 00:37:42,605
Shawn Michaels, and I know you are ready
for their celebration here tonight.

658
00:37:42,638 --> 00:37:49,171
Congratulations, congratulations,
but it's the muy grande, el gran campeón,

659
00:37:49,205 --> 00:37:54,071
celebración, Nightmare.
Oh, yes.

660
00:37:54,105 --> 00:37:55,788
-Pull you back a little bit.
-It's just the beginning.

661
00:37:55,821 --> 00:37:58,404
Yeah, we're going south.

662
00:37:58,438 --> 00:38:01,321
Yeah, this is going down south real fast.

663
00:38:01,355 --> 00:38:03,721
We also are getting ready
for what's gonna happen next week

664
00:38:03,755 --> 00:38:08,404
in all seriousness, the last man standing
match for the NXT Championship.

665
00:38:08,438 --> 00:38:10,571
And right now,
I wanna bring in both champion

666
00:38:10,605 --> 00:38:14,371
and the challenger to that matchup,
Ricky Saints and Trick Williams.

667
00:38:14,404 --> 00:38:16,971
And with that being said,
I'm going to start the conversation

668
00:38:17,005 --> 00:38:18,904
with Trick Williams.

669
00:38:18,938 --> 00:38:20,838
-Go ahead, Trick.
-Look at you, Ricky.

670
00:38:21,805 --> 00:38:24,071
You can try to cover up those bruises
if you want to.

671
00:38:24,938 --> 00:38:27,521
But we both know you still banged up
since Halloween Havoc.

672
00:38:28,688 --> 00:38:30,154
That title's too big for you, champ.

673
00:38:31,121 --> 00:38:32,488
You ain't built to carry it like me.

674
00:38:33,638 --> 00:38:36,371
You act like I can't handle the pressure
or something, huh?

675
00:38:36,404 --> 00:38:40,088
Wasn't it you last week that came out
and threw this whole big fit on TV

676
00:38:40,121 --> 00:38:41,755
because you lost?

677
00:38:41,788 --> 00:38:45,955
Because that's the truth. I beat you
at Halloween Havoc clean, one, two, three.

678
00:38:45,988 --> 00:38:46,821
You lost.

679
00:38:47,505 --> 00:38:50,438
And need I remind you,
it was me that actually gave you the shot.

680
00:38:50,471 --> 00:38:52,838
And I didn't have you jump through
any hoops or hurdles.

681
00:38:52,871 --> 00:38:54,721
I actually made it very easy for you.

682
00:38:55,221 --> 00:38:58,738
But instead of accepting the fact
that you lost like a man

683
00:38:58,771 --> 00:39:00,671
and getting your ass to the back
of the line,

684
00:39:00,705 --> 00:39:03,654
you had to come out and try
to take a show hostage. Why?

685
00:39:03,688 --> 00:39:07,188
Because your ego can't handle
being second best.

686
00:39:07,221 --> 00:39:10,038
That's because Trick Williams
is second to none.

687
00:39:10,071 --> 00:39:14,088
You worked your whole life,
your whole life, just to get to this spot.

688
00:39:14,121 --> 00:39:17,771
But you still know nothing
about carrying this brand.

689
00:39:20,621 --> 00:39:23,338
You don't even give a damn about NXT.

690
00:39:23,371 --> 00:39:27,505
You have had one foot in,
one foot out the door since I got here.

691
00:39:27,538 --> 00:39:30,438
And, really, the only reason
you're obsessed with the NXT Championship

692
00:39:30,471 --> 00:39:33,338
is because it's some type of
security blanket to you.

693
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:36,138
But to me, this right here,
is representation.

694
00:39:36,171 --> 00:39:41,505
This is the culmination of who I am
as a man, a person that works hard.

695
00:39:42,321 --> 00:39:45,338
I will be honest, though,
I thought this would be a pit stop.

696
00:39:45,371 --> 00:39:47,921
And then, as champion, I realize

697
00:39:47,955 --> 00:39:52,955
that I can take NXT to heights
that you failed to do so.

698
00:39:52,988 --> 00:39:55,821
That right there is the difference
between you and I.

699
00:39:55,855 --> 00:39:57,705
You take everything for granted,

700
00:39:57,738 --> 00:39:59,338
not me.

701
00:39:59,371 --> 00:40:04,221
Not this championship,
not the people, and not NXT itself.

702
00:40:05,288 --> 00:40:08,154
So, now, you're a man of the people,
huh, Ricky?

703
00:40:08,188 --> 00:40:10,638
That's what you don't understand,

704
00:40:10,671 --> 00:40:13,271
that championship doesn't belong
to someone like you.

705
00:40:15,055 --> 00:40:16,288
You look like a fan.

706
00:40:17,271 --> 00:40:18,555
You want your title,

707
00:40:18,588 --> 00:40:21,488
you go to wweshop.com like everybody else.

708
00:40:21,521 --> 00:40:25,388
Because that NXT Championship
belongs to a star like Trick Williams.

709
00:40:26,338 --> 00:40:28,138
Ricky, I am bigger than you,

710
00:40:28,171 --> 00:40:29,538
I am better than you.

711
00:40:31,088 --> 00:40:35,105
And on Tuesday,
I will be the last man standing.

712
00:40:35,138 --> 00:40:36,171
Let's talk about it.

713
00:40:36,205 --> 00:40:39,088
[scoffs] Trick, you wear delusion well.

714
00:40:39,121 --> 00:40:41,171
You'd think it's designer at this point.

715
00:40:41,205 --> 00:40:44,088
But lemme tell you, I'm done talking.
We ain't gotta wait till next week,

716
00:40:44,121 --> 00:40:46,904
'cause obviously you think I can't fight.
Let's handle it right now.

717
00:40:46,938 --> 00:40:48,505
Let me remind your ass just who I am.

718
00:40:48,538 --> 00:40:52,005
Hold on a second. Hold on a second.
Wait. Whoa! That…

719
00:40:52,038 --> 00:40:53,205
-What…
-Yeah.

720
00:40:53,238 --> 00:40:57,171
Booker, the animosity between these two
is getting absolutely out of control,

721
00:40:57,205 --> 00:40:59,805
and that leads into
what's gonna take place…

722
00:40:59,838 --> 00:41:01,121
What the hell?

723
00:41:01,154 --> 00:41:04,471
-[Trick] This is what you wanted, right?
-[Saints] Let's go!

724
00:41:04,505 --> 00:41:06,005
[Booker T] Oh, yes.

725
00:41:06,038 --> 00:41:08,038
[both grunting]

726
00:41:11,821 --> 00:41:13,771
We need security out here, man.

727
00:41:17,271 --> 00:41:18,888
[groaning]

728
00:41:18,921 --> 00:41:20,705
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

729
00:41:20,738 --> 00:41:23,105
Back up! Back up! Back up outta here!

730
00:41:24,505 --> 00:41:26,005
[groaning]

731
00:41:27,005 --> 00:41:29,288
[clanging]

732
00:41:29,321 --> 00:41:31,421
You don't wanna see
this side of me, Ricky.

733
00:41:31,455 --> 00:41:33,721
Next week, you will,

734
00:41:33,755 --> 00:41:35,455
when I get my championship back.

735
00:41:35,488 --> 00:41:37,421
[groaning]

736
00:41:38,738 --> 00:41:39,621
Back up!

737
00:41:40,371 --> 00:41:41,805
Ricky, you all right?

738
00:41:41,838 --> 00:41:43,771
-Get a medic!
-This is getting out of hand.

739
00:41:43,805 --> 00:41:48,738
Look here, the championship will make you
do some crazy things, bro. Trust me.

740
00:41:48,771 --> 00:41:50,971
Everything that just happened,
I gotta remind everyone,

741
00:41:51,005 --> 00:41:55,688
next week it's going down live,
right here on NXT.

742
00:41:55,721 --> 00:41:59,538
For the last time,
who will incapacitate their opponents

743
00:41:59,571 --> 00:42:01,788
so they cannot answer the count of ten.

744
00:42:01,821 --> 00:42:05,904
Saints, Trick, Last Man Standing

745
00:42:05,938 --> 00:42:09,038
for the NXT Championship.

746
00:42:11,538 --> 00:42:14,038
["Tortured Minds" playing]

747
00:42:32,771 --> 00:42:34,154
[bell rings]

748
00:42:34,188 --> 00:42:38,038
[announcer] The following
is a Women's Speed Tournament Match

749
00:42:38,071 --> 00:42:40,904
with a three-minute time limit.

750
00:42:40,938 --> 00:42:45,621
Introducing first,
from Adelaide, South Australia,

751
00:42:45,654 --> 00:42:47,904
Zaria!

752
00:42:47,938 --> 00:42:50,321
[Vic] Well, from one championship
to another,

753
00:42:50,355 --> 00:42:55,005
it's time to kick off the Women's
Speed Tournament Championship next!

754
00:42:59,838 --> 00:43:02,621
Welcome back live to NXT

755
00:43:02,654 --> 00:43:07,505
with the kickoff to the Speed
Women's Championship Tournament.

756
00:43:07,538 --> 00:43:09,538
["Fade" playing]

757
00:43:10,771 --> 00:43:12,355
[announcer] And her opponent,

758
00:43:12,388 --> 00:43:15,355
representing No Quarter Catch Crew,

759
00:43:15,388 --> 00:43:18,871
Wren Sinclair!

760
00:43:18,904 --> 00:43:22,305
[Vic] Sinclair, along with the Evolve
Women's Champion, Kendal Grey,

761
00:43:22,338 --> 00:43:23,904
as Sol Ruca is here looking on.

762
00:43:23,938 --> 00:43:26,355
And you can see all your favorite
NXT Superstars.

763
00:43:26,388 --> 00:43:28,638
NXT is hitting the road
and coming to a city near you.

764
00:43:28,671 --> 00:43:33,838
Check out NXT live in Saint Paul,
Minnesota, next Thursday, November 13th,

765
00:43:33,871 --> 00:43:37,455
in Green Bay, Wisconsin,
next Friday, November 14th,

766
00:43:37,488 --> 00:43:41,705
and in Chicago next Saturday,
November 15th.

767
00:43:45,621 --> 00:43:47,705
And I just received word
during the commercial break

768
00:43:47,738 --> 00:43:52,654
that medical has arrived and are checking
on the champion, Ricky Saints,

769
00:43:52,688 --> 00:43:56,955
after what we just saw moments ago
between Saints and Trick Williams

770
00:43:56,988 --> 00:43:59,105
ahead of their Last Man Standing match.

771
00:43:59,138 --> 00:44:02,105
As this matchup is officially underway.

772
00:44:02,138 --> 00:44:05,521
Right there, you see the clock starting.
First cover of the match. 10 seconds gone.

773
00:44:05,555 --> 00:44:07,488
[Booker T] You heard
what Trick said, right?

774
00:44:07,521 --> 00:44:10,721
"You don't wanna see this side of me,
Ricky." And I believe him, trust me.

775
00:44:10,754 --> 00:44:12,805
[Vic] Rolling right back through.
Another near fall.

776
00:44:12,838 --> 00:44:15,988
And, again, different vibe
around Zaria and Sol Ruca as of late.

777
00:44:16,021 --> 00:44:17,671
Nice cover. And another kick out.

778
00:44:17,705 --> 00:44:19,555
But it's time to start
the Speed Tournament.

779
00:44:19,588 --> 00:44:24,105
It's time for Zaria to, maybe,
right some of the wrongs, so to speak,

780
00:44:24,138 --> 00:44:26,004
to help fix some of the issues.

781
00:44:26,821 --> 00:44:29,938
[Booker T] I agree. Zaria came along
around the same time.

782
00:44:29,971 --> 00:44:32,904
Giulia, as well… Whoa!

783
00:44:32,938 --> 00:44:35,305
And the thing is,
she was highly touted, man.

784
00:44:35,338 --> 00:44:37,971
I thought, should have been champion
by now.

785
00:44:38,004 --> 00:44:41,688
But this friendship, I think,
is what stalled her career.

786
00:44:41,721 --> 00:44:43,004
I could be wrong.

787
00:44:43,038 --> 00:44:45,021
[Vic] That's one way to look about it.

788
00:44:45,055 --> 00:44:49,171
You see Wren Sinclair and the Wren QCC
seem to have some momentum,

789
00:44:49,205 --> 00:44:52,838
as Wren was motivated by the Evolve
Women's Champion, Kendal Grey, last week,

790
00:44:52,871 --> 00:44:54,621
in Grey's victory over Lash Legend.

791
00:44:54,654 --> 00:44:56,654
And right now, 60 seconds off the clock.

792
00:44:56,688 --> 00:44:59,555
And Wren right now is going on
to that shoulder of Zaria.

793
00:44:59,588 --> 00:45:02,638
Remember, it was that shoulder
at Halloween Havoc

794
00:45:02,671 --> 00:45:08,121
that Blake Monroe saw, focused on,
and tried to destroy.

795
00:45:08,154 --> 00:45:10,271
It was dislocated, I believe,
at one point.

796
00:45:10,305 --> 00:45:12,788
Sol Ruca had to push Zaria
into the steel post.

797
00:45:12,821 --> 00:45:15,355
As going around, going down.
And another near fall.

798
00:45:15,388 --> 00:45:18,838
[Booker T] Wren Sinclair
is taking advantage of that right there.

799
00:45:18,871 --> 00:45:21,805
You got a bullseye on that target.
You wanna step right in.

800
00:45:21,838 --> 00:45:25,238
Wren Sinclair's doing a hell of a job.
You talk about Wren QCC,

801
00:45:25,271 --> 00:45:28,205
let's talk about the NQCC
and Charlie Dempsey

802
00:45:28,238 --> 00:45:30,105
and what he's done for Wren Sinclair.

803
00:45:30,138 --> 00:45:33,305
[Vic] I wanna talk about the 90 seconds
and under in this match.

804
00:45:33,338 --> 00:45:34,671
We got a buck twenty left.

805
00:45:34,705 --> 00:45:37,955
One of these two women will move on,
unless it could be a draw.

806
00:45:37,988 --> 00:45:40,538
And a big clothesline by Zaria.

807
00:45:40,571 --> 00:45:43,938
And you gotta like Zaria saying
she wanted in this tournament

808
00:45:43,971 --> 00:45:46,504
to win that title back.

809
00:45:46,538 --> 00:45:49,504
And again, trying to overpower Wren.
Big, sharp elbow.

810
00:45:49,538 --> 00:45:53,371
And, Booker, there's only 65, 64,
now 63 seconds left in the match.

811
00:45:53,404 --> 00:45:55,521
[Booker T] Time's running out right now.

812
00:45:55,555 --> 00:45:57,771
-My thing is--
-[Vic] Going to the arm!

813
00:45:57,805 --> 00:46:01,105
-[Booker T] Here we go!
-[Vic] Dempsey will be very happy.

814
00:46:01,138 --> 00:46:03,388
Again, this is the damaged shoulder
from Halloween Havoc.

815
00:46:03,421 --> 00:46:05,705
As there's 50 seconds
remaining on the clock.

816
00:46:05,738 --> 00:46:07,921
Zaria trying to hold on at this juncture.

817
00:46:07,955 --> 00:46:09,754
Wren Sinclair looking at the clock.

818
00:46:09,788 --> 00:46:12,971
Rolling through, though,
as we have about 40 seconds left.

819
00:46:13,004 --> 00:46:15,721
And a big spear from Zaria!

820
00:46:15,754 --> 00:46:18,904
[Booker T] The power, right now,
of Zaria coming into play.

821
00:46:18,938 --> 00:46:19,971
Here we go!

822
00:46:20,004 --> 00:46:23,621
[Vic] Entering into
that Zone of Destruction, did Zaria,

823
00:46:23,654 --> 00:46:26,838
to be the first to advance
in this tournament.

824
00:46:28,004 --> 00:46:34,355
[announcer] Here is your winner, Zaria!

825
00:46:34,388 --> 00:46:36,904
[Vic] And I said
it wasn't the same energy.

826
00:46:36,938 --> 00:46:41,588
The smile between Zaria and Sol Ruca
has seemed to gone away.

827
00:46:41,621 --> 00:46:43,671
But Zaria called her shot.

828
00:46:44,788 --> 00:46:49,888
She said she was going to win,
and she backed it up here tonight.

829
00:46:49,921 --> 00:46:52,988
And let's take a look at today's
Your Way Replay,

830
00:46:53,021 --> 00:46:56,221
brought to you by Burger King.
At BK, have it your way. You rule.

831
00:46:56,254 --> 00:46:58,938
And that spear, absolutely ruled.

832
00:46:58,971 --> 00:47:03,288
And to follow it up
with some power on display

833
00:47:03,321 --> 00:47:05,504
from Zaria here tonight.

834
00:47:05,538 --> 00:47:07,088
And I'll say it again,

835
00:47:07,121 --> 00:47:10,138
she backed up everything
she said she would do.

836
00:47:10,171 --> 00:47:11,955
As there, you see the field.

837
00:47:11,988 --> 00:47:14,654
There, you see the official
tournament bracket.

838
00:47:14,688 --> 00:47:18,004
Zaria, the first to advance

839
00:47:18,038 --> 00:47:22,205
to the Women's Speed Championship matchup.

840
00:47:22,238 --> 00:47:26,621
Who will she face,
Fallon Henley or Skylar Raye?

841
00:47:26,654 --> 00:47:29,654
["Tortured Minds" playing]

842
00:47:34,038 --> 00:47:36,921
That's certainly
an interesting conversation being had.

843
00:47:36,955 --> 00:47:40,538
But again, the next first round matchup
takes place next week.

844
00:47:40,571 --> 00:47:45,388
LFG season two winner Skyler Raye
makes her NXT debut,

845
00:47:45,421 --> 00:47:46,421
and in a big way.

846
00:47:46,455 --> 00:47:48,754
She could find herself
in a championship match

847
00:47:48,788 --> 00:47:50,388
right after her debut.

848
00:47:50,421 --> 00:47:53,138
She goes up against Fallon Henley.

849
00:47:54,388 --> 00:47:57,721
And if you start looking at the tournament
to recap what will happen

850
00:47:57,754 --> 00:48:01,738
at NXT Gold Rush, New York City Theater
at Madison Square Garden,

851
00:48:01,771 --> 00:48:06,871
we will crown
a new Women's Speed Champion.

852
00:48:06,904 --> 00:48:10,988
Zaria, the first to make it to the finals.

853
00:48:16,705 --> 00:48:19,555
Well, there's Je'Von Evans
getting ready for his matchup

854
00:48:19,588 --> 00:48:23,088
with Shugaman, as you would call him.

855
00:48:23,121 --> 00:48:27,488
That matchup still to come here,
live tonight.

856
00:48:27,521 --> 00:48:29,521
["Out Of This World" playing]

857
00:48:37,455 --> 00:48:40,388
But the action doesn't stop on NXT.

858
00:48:40,421 --> 00:48:41,705
[bell rings]

859
00:48:41,738 --> 00:48:45,671
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

860
00:48:45,705 --> 00:48:48,988
Introducing first,
from Boynton Beach, Florida,

861
00:48:49,021 --> 00:48:54,138
she is the TNA Knockouts World Champion,

862
00:48:54,171 --> 00:48:57,871
Kelani Jordan!

863
00:48:57,904 --> 00:49:00,288
[Vic] Heard a lot
from the champion tonight.

864
00:49:02,121 --> 00:49:06,788
TNA Knockouts Champion Kelani Jordan,
Tyra Mae Steele live, next.

865
00:49:09,705 --> 00:49:11,705
["Go For It" playing]

866
00:49:14,571 --> 00:49:16,071
[announcer] And her opponent,

867
00:49:16,105 --> 00:49:19,771
she is the winner of LFG season one,

868
00:49:19,805 --> 00:49:22,921
Olympic gold medalist.

869
00:49:22,955 --> 00:49:26,338
Tyra Mae Steele!

870
00:49:26,371 --> 00:49:29,754
[Vic] How big of a match is this
for the season one LFG winner?

871
00:49:29,788 --> 00:49:33,504
[Booker T] Huge. Steele has the pedigree
in professional wrestling.

872
00:49:33,538 --> 00:49:35,754
Like I say,
she's an Olympic gold medalist.

873
00:49:35,788 --> 00:49:37,838
You cannot sleep on her background.

874
00:49:37,871 --> 00:49:39,921
But this is pro wrestling,

875
00:49:39,955 --> 00:49:45,105
and she's in there with the TNA Knockouts
World Champion, okay?

876
00:49:45,138 --> 00:49:47,055
[Vic] I gotta ask you this, Book.

877
00:49:47,088 --> 00:49:49,904
You know, we heard Kelani Jordan earlier.

878
00:49:49,938 --> 00:49:55,171
Do you agree with Kelani
as she was questioning the WWE?

879
00:49:55,205 --> 00:49:57,504
[Booker T] Look, you won't make it
to the top

880
00:49:57,538 --> 00:50:00,021
thinking about what the WWE Universe
is thinking,

881
00:50:00,055 --> 00:50:03,705
because they're always thinking about,
"What have you done for me lately?"

882
00:50:03,738 --> 00:50:05,238
The operative word is "me."

883
00:50:05,271 --> 00:50:07,521
It's not about you, it's about my career.

884
00:50:07,555 --> 00:50:08,871
it's about my legacy.

885
00:50:08,904 --> 00:50:12,038
And that's what Kelani Jordan,
right now, is thinking about.

886
00:50:12,071 --> 00:50:13,638
I agree with her, 100%.

887
00:50:13,671 --> 00:50:16,571
[Vic] We'll see if she can back up
her words in this match.

888
00:50:16,605 --> 00:50:20,888
Right now, the gold medalist wants to put
more gold around her waist soon.

889
00:50:20,921 --> 00:50:24,871
Title not on the line, but an upset,
you could make the case Steele

890
00:50:24,904 --> 00:50:27,938
and a future
Knockouts Championship opportunity.

891
00:50:27,971 --> 00:50:32,188
[Booker T] Lemme tell you, it won't be
a fluke tonight if Steele won this match.

892
00:50:32,221 --> 00:50:34,754
I can say that. I can honestly say that.

893
00:50:34,788 --> 00:50:39,338
[Vic] Look, Steele spoke the truth earlier
about the current Knockouts Champion,

894
00:50:39,371 --> 00:50:40,571
Jordan did cheat to win.

895
00:50:40,605 --> 00:50:43,688
She didn't cut down the WWE Universe.
She disrespected the general manager.

896
00:50:43,721 --> 00:50:46,955
It's hard to argue, Booker,
something has gotten into Kelani,

897
00:50:46,988 --> 00:50:49,171
as she's holding the bottom rope.

898
00:50:49,205 --> 00:50:52,855
[Booker T] How many times have you
heard me say it? If you ain't cheating,

899
00:50:52,888 --> 00:50:55,138
you ain't trying.
That's what this business is all about,

900
00:50:55,171 --> 00:50:57,638
getting an advantage, an edge.
Oh, yes, man!

901
00:50:57,671 --> 00:50:59,971
[Vic] Rolling right through.
Another near fall.

902
00:51:00,004 --> 00:51:03,688
You know, you can talk
all the time about the athletes,

903
00:51:03,721 --> 00:51:06,705
and we do, you know,
that have arrived here in NXT,

904
00:51:06,738 --> 00:51:09,305
have arrived here
at the Performance Center.

905
00:51:09,338 --> 00:51:11,488
Some have succeeded.
Some have turned heads.

906
00:51:11,521 --> 00:51:15,438
Kelani was the one who was
the poster child for that narrative.

907
00:51:15,471 --> 00:51:17,738
And it just irks somebody and some people

908
00:51:17,771 --> 00:51:20,021
to hear her speak the way she did tonight.

909
00:51:20,055 --> 00:51:24,738
As a submission applied right now,
bending the body of Kelani.

910
00:51:24,771 --> 00:51:27,021
Steele let go of that
maybe a little too soon.

911
00:51:27,055 --> 00:51:31,555
[Booker T] Maybe a bit. But you talk about
Kelani Jordan being the posterchild…

912
00:51:31,588 --> 00:51:34,305
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

913
00:51:34,338 --> 00:51:36,888
[Vic] Another near fall, right… Again!
And, oof!

914
00:51:36,921 --> 00:51:38,904
[Booker T] You got Tiffany Stratton
and Oba Femi.

915
00:51:38,938 --> 00:51:43,938
Let's just say this, the NIL program
is definitely working. Let's say that.

916
00:51:43,971 --> 00:51:47,271
[Vic] Tank Ledger, as well, who was in
the first class from Northwestern,

917
00:51:47,305 --> 00:51:51,271
and former NXT Tag Team Champion
here on this brand.

918
00:51:51,305 --> 00:51:54,838
And Kelani Jordan right now,
showing that aggressive nature.

919
00:51:54,871 --> 00:51:57,188
And I hate to even ask this,
'cause I know the answer,

920
00:51:57,221 --> 00:52:00,654
has the Knockouts Title
gone to Jordan's head?

921
00:52:00,688 --> 00:52:03,004
We saw the TNA Title and what it did
to Trick Williams.

922
00:52:03,038 --> 00:52:05,771
[Booker T] Talking about less
than three years in this business,

923
00:52:05,805 --> 00:52:09,788
Kelani Jordan
has a world championship under her belt.

924
00:52:09,821 --> 00:52:10,821
Let me tell you something.

925
00:52:10,855 --> 00:52:12,455
That's what it's all about, Vic.

926
00:52:12,488 --> 00:52:14,421
I've said it once.
I'll say a thousand times.

927
00:52:14,455 --> 00:52:17,105
It's not about anything
other than going out there

928
00:52:17,138 --> 00:52:21,754
and making history in this business,
and that's what Kelani is doing right now.

929
00:52:21,788 --> 00:52:22,971
[audience gasps]

930
00:52:23,004 --> 00:52:24,205
[Booker T] Oh, yes!

931
00:52:24,238 --> 00:52:25,771
[Vic] And, oh…

932
00:52:25,805 --> 00:52:28,705
Steele's doing her best
to escape that moment.

933
00:52:28,738 --> 00:52:31,221
[Booker T] Great thought process
right there by Kelani Jordan.

934
00:52:31,254 --> 00:52:33,355
[Vic] Who would have had to have
the medical team come back out here.

935
00:52:33,388 --> 00:52:35,988
Last I heard, medical was still
checking on Ricky Saints

936
00:52:36,021 --> 00:52:38,404
after what happened in that attack?

937
00:52:38,438 --> 00:52:40,571
The fight that broke out
and everything next week…

938
00:52:40,605 --> 00:52:43,088
As we get a cover by Kelani
and a near fall.

939
00:52:43,121 --> 00:52:48,221
Everything we saw earlier between Saints
and Williams will be all legal next week.

940
00:52:48,254 --> 00:52:51,805
Live here on NXT
because it is a Last Man Standing Match

941
00:52:51,838 --> 00:52:53,404
-for the NXT Championship.
-[Booker T] Nowhere to run.

942
00:52:53,438 --> 00:52:54,855
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

943
00:52:54,888 --> 00:52:56,638
It's about going out there
and testing your mettle

944
00:52:56,671 --> 00:52:58,855
and see exactly how good you are.

945
00:52:58,888 --> 00:53:03,071
And my thing with this Trick Williams,
he's ready to prove how good he really is.

946
00:53:03,105 --> 00:53:07,154
Trick is looking to make NXT history, man.

947
00:53:07,188 --> 00:53:10,838
Three-time, three-time,
three-time NXT Champion.

948
00:53:10,871 --> 00:53:12,738
[Vic] Well, it certainly would next week,

949
00:53:12,771 --> 00:53:16,205
if he is victorious, but right here,
Steele trying to turn things around.

950
00:53:16,238 --> 00:53:18,671
Just got caught, though, by Kelani Jordan

951
00:53:18,705 --> 00:53:21,271
and the Knockouts Champion
has been in a bad mood

952
00:53:21,305 --> 00:53:24,988
since she arrived at the performance
center here earlier today,

953
00:53:25,021 --> 00:53:28,855
and obviously bothered by the locker room,
who kicked her out of the locker room.

954
00:53:28,888 --> 00:53:31,288
You know what?
Steele is part of that locker room.

955
00:53:31,321 --> 00:53:33,171
Steele has a say in what's going on.

956
00:53:33,205 --> 00:53:35,571
[Booker T] Well,
if she's not part of the solution,

957
00:53:35,605 --> 00:53:36,904
she's part of the problem.

958
00:53:36,938 --> 00:53:39,004
And that's the way Kelani Jordan sees it.

959
00:53:39,038 --> 00:53:40,121
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker T] Oh, yes!

960
00:53:40,154 --> 00:53:42,638
Look at the strength of Steele,
the gold medalist,

961
00:53:42,671 --> 00:53:44,621
as we've talked about really right now,

962
00:53:45,271 --> 00:53:49,754
going toe to toe with what I would call
the biggest test to date here in NXT.

963
00:53:49,788 --> 00:53:54,038
[Booker T] No doubt, no doubt.
Tyra Mae Steele is the…

964
00:53:54,071 --> 00:53:56,271
season winner of LFG last season.

965
00:53:56,305 --> 00:53:59,088
Winner of LFG right now,
she's doing a hell of a job.

966
00:53:59,121 --> 00:54:00,921
She's doing a hell of a job, Vic.

967
00:54:00,955 --> 00:54:04,605
Almost like a reverse Angle slam
floating right over into the cover,

968
00:54:04,638 --> 00:54:08,938
deep hook of the leg, and
the Knockouts champion able to kick out.

969
00:54:08,971 --> 00:54:11,688
Some innovative
offense from Tyra Mae Steele.

970
00:54:12,955 --> 00:54:14,438
Right now, you can see Kelani Jordan,

971
00:54:14,471 --> 00:54:15,955
you got to wonder
what's going through her mind.

972
00:54:15,988 --> 00:54:18,471
She was not coming here tonight,
ready to compete.

973
00:54:18,504 --> 00:54:22,238
She wanted to speak her truth
to the NXT Universe.

974
00:54:22,771 --> 00:54:27,021
Stepping over the competition,
looking for that one of a kind

975
00:54:27,055 --> 00:54:29,055
Split-Legged Moonsault.

976
00:54:29,088 --> 00:54:30,654
-[Booker T] Dive in, dive in!
-[Vic] Into the cover.

977
00:54:30,688 --> 00:54:33,738
Jordan proves she is indeed the standout.

978
00:54:35,254 --> 00:54:36,754
[Mike] Here is your winner.

979
00:54:36,788 --> 00:54:39,721
Kelani Jordan.

980
00:54:39,754 --> 00:54:40,888
[Booker T] Oh yes, man.

981
00:54:40,921 --> 00:54:44,705
Kelani Jordan doing
what champions do, man.

982
00:54:44,738 --> 00:54:46,838
Would you say she wasn't ready for it?

983
00:54:46,871 --> 00:54:49,671
Look here.
When you champion, you stay ready.

984
00:54:49,705 --> 00:54:51,438
So you ain't got to get ready.

985
00:54:51,471 --> 00:54:53,055
Check out this Split-Legged Moonsault.

986
00:54:53,088 --> 00:54:56,321
Oh, yeah, it says to my homie RVD.

987
00:54:56,355 --> 00:54:58,488
You got to love it, man.

988
00:54:58,521 --> 00:55:02,488
[Vic] And again, she certainly proved
she is one of a kind.

989
00:55:02,521 --> 00:55:06,154
And on top of the TNA Knockouts division.

990
00:55:06,188 --> 00:55:07,871
[Booker T] Shout out to my homie,

991
00:55:07,904 --> 00:55:09,105
-RVD!
-[Santino] Kelani Jordan.

992
00:55:09,138 --> 00:55:09,971
[Vic] Oh!

993
00:55:10,688 --> 00:55:12,671
It's me, Santino Marella.

994
00:55:12,705 --> 00:55:15,571
I heard what you said earlier
when you said you will not be defending

995
00:55:15,605 --> 00:55:18,888
the TNA Knockouts World Title
at Gold Rush.

996
00:55:20,471 --> 00:55:21,338
Interesting.

997
00:55:21,904 --> 00:55:24,838
But let me tell you this,
although you are correct,

998
00:55:24,871 --> 00:55:27,988
Ava is not the TNA General Manager.

999
00:55:28,821 --> 00:55:32,004
However, I am the TNA
Director of Authority.

1000
00:55:32,038 --> 00:55:35,004
So let me tell you this
right here, right now.

1001
00:55:35,038 --> 00:55:39,071
You will be defending the TNA Knockouts
World Title in New York City.

1002
00:55:39,821 --> 00:55:42,321
But don't worry,
there will be no shenanigans.

1003
00:55:42,355 --> 00:55:43,638
Because you'll be defending the title

1004
00:55:43,671 --> 00:55:48,621
against Lady Lee and Jordynne Grace
in a Triple Threat Match.

1005
00:55:49,521 --> 00:55:51,088
[Vic] Absolute bombshell

1006
00:55:51,121 --> 00:55:52,988
-dropped on the champ.
-[Booker T] The hell?

1007
00:55:53,021 --> 00:55:57,154
[Vic] Triple Threat
in New York at Gold Rush.

1008
00:55:57,188 --> 00:56:00,805
[Booker T] Ava wakes
Santino up to telling this?

1009
00:56:00,838 --> 00:56:02,571
So, Ava, I know you've been busy,

1010
00:56:02,605 --> 00:56:04,688
but I talked to the doctor
and he said that

1011
00:56:04,721 --> 00:56:06,404
my knee's getting better
every single day.

1012
00:56:06,438 --> 00:56:08,105
Yeah, he mentioned
you're making a ton of progress.

1013
00:56:08,138 --> 00:56:12,021
So I would like to have my rematch
with Blake at Gold Rush.

1014
00:56:12,055 --> 00:56:15,404
And he also mentioned
that you still had about a month left.

1015
00:56:15,438 --> 00:56:16,438
We can't push it.

1016
00:56:16,471 --> 00:56:18,738
I know, but I'm gonna be ready
before then. Just trust me.

1017
00:56:18,771 --> 00:56:22,088
Sol, I would love, love
for you to get your hands on Blake,

1018
00:56:22,121 --> 00:56:26,371
but I can only sign off on the match if
you're medically cleared. You know this.

1019
00:56:26,404 --> 00:56:28,288
Look, this could be perfect.

1020
00:56:28,321 --> 00:56:30,488
Sol wins the North American Championship

1021
00:56:30,521 --> 00:56:32,904
at Gold Rush,
and I win her the Speed Title back.

1022
00:56:32,938 --> 00:56:34,654
-Oh, yeah. See, It works out perfect.
-See?

1023
00:56:34,688 --> 00:56:36,305
-Right, right--
-Ava! Excuse me.

1024
00:56:36,338 --> 00:56:38,921
-Hi. Yes, I know you saw my win earlier.
-Hey.

1025
00:56:38,955 --> 00:56:40,521
-One, two, three, against Izzi.
-Mm-hm.

1026
00:56:40,555 --> 00:56:44,138
So I was thinking before Tatum
gets any more of her

1027
00:56:44,171 --> 00:56:45,838
-wonderful ideas…
-[Zaria scoffs]

1028
00:56:45,871 --> 00:56:49,271
I want my rematch for the NXT
Women's Championship at Gold Rush.

1029
00:56:49,305 --> 00:56:53,738
I mean leaving New York with Jacy as
Women's Champion and me as Speed Champion…

1030
00:56:53,771 --> 00:56:55,188
-[Zaria scoffs]
-…sounds perfect to me.

1031
00:56:55,221 --> 00:56:57,105
-Perfect.
-You winning the Speed Title?

1032
00:56:57,138 --> 00:57:00,088
Uh, no, I promised Sol that
I'm winning the Speed Title back.

1033
00:57:00,121 --> 00:57:01,705
-That's cute.
-You still got to get there.

1034
00:57:01,738 --> 00:57:03,638
-Oh, I will. Don't worry.
-Okay, so I know that this is gonna be

1035
00:57:03,671 --> 00:57:07,221
the part where you guys argue,
but unfortunately for you all,

1036
00:57:07,254 --> 00:57:09,088
I have to call Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce

1037
00:57:09,121 --> 00:57:11,371
and talk about who from NXT
is going to be in

1038
00:57:11,404 --> 00:57:13,455
John Cena's "Last Time Is Now" Tournament.

1039
00:57:13,488 --> 00:57:15,004
-Okay?
-So I need you, you , and you,

1040
00:57:15,038 --> 00:57:18,338
-and you two, to see yourself out.
-Rude.

1041
00:57:18,371 --> 00:57:20,371
-I have things to do.
-I just wanted my match.

1042
00:57:21,455 --> 00:57:22,738
I would love me some John Cena.

1043
00:57:22,771 --> 00:57:23,988
[scatting John Cena's theme music]

1044
00:57:25,288 --> 00:57:27,871
-[male voice] Your boy is bouncy.
-[audience] Bouncy!

1045
00:57:27,904 --> 00:57:30,421
[Je'Von Evans' theme playing]

1046
00:57:39,421 --> 00:57:41,404
[excited shouting]

1047
00:57:42,771 --> 00:57:46,338
[Vic] Well, there is never a dull moment
for our General Manager.

1048
00:57:47,004 --> 00:57:49,871
But this man better keep
his head on a swivel.

1049
00:57:49,904 --> 00:57:53,004
Je'Von Evans, up against
a member of DarkState,

1050
00:57:53,038 --> 00:57:57,238
Saquon Shugars, live next,
right here on NXT.

1051
00:58:01,121 --> 00:58:03,038
[DarkState's theme playing]

1052
00:58:09,638 --> 00:58:10,638
[male voice] Here we go.

1053
00:58:10,671 --> 00:58:12,588
[DarkState's theme continues]

1054
00:58:13,438 --> 00:58:16,988
[Vic] I mentioned
that The Young OG…

1055
00:58:17,021 --> 00:58:21,888
[Mike] And his opponent,
representing DarkState,

1056
00:58:21,921 --> 00:58:26,055
Saquon Shugars.

1057
00:58:26,088 --> 00:58:28,555
[Vic] He's gonna need to keep
his head on a swivel because--

1058
00:58:28,588 --> 00:58:30,305
-[Booker T] Oh, yes!
-[audience gasps]

1059
00:58:30,338 --> 00:58:32,088
-[Booker T] Oh, man!
-[Vic] Did you see that?

1060
00:58:32,121 --> 00:58:33,455
-[Booker T] Wow!
-[audience cheering]

1061
00:58:33,488 --> 00:58:35,521
[Vic] Young OG came to fight.

1062
00:58:35,555 --> 00:58:36,738
[audience chants] Young OG!

1063
00:58:36,771 --> 00:58:38,421
-[Booker T] Wasting no time, Vic.
-[bell dinging]

1064
00:58:38,455 --> 00:58:40,521
[Vic] Can't do it.
And Adrian Butler called for the bell.

1065
00:58:40,555 --> 00:58:41,904
-Big knee right into the jaw.
-[Booker T] Oh, we got it!!

1066
00:58:41,938 --> 00:58:43,605
[Vic] Right into the cover,
looking for the win.

1067
00:58:43,638 --> 00:58:45,004
-And Shugars kicking out.
-[Booker T] Whoa!

1068
00:58:45,038 --> 00:58:49,455
[Vic] 26 match on NXT,
most among the men for Je'Von Evans.

1069
00:58:49,488 --> 00:58:55,721
And again, that's just proof that our best
are seen weekly here on NXT.

1070
00:58:55,754 --> 00:58:57,555
[Booker T] So smart by The Young OG there.

1071
00:58:57,588 --> 00:59:00,088
Trying to get an upper hand
because he knows,

1072
00:59:00,121 --> 00:59:02,821
he knows what
the DarkState is all about, man.

1073
00:59:02,855 --> 00:59:04,254
[Vic] You can say that again.

1074
00:59:08,021 --> 00:59:09,955
We also have to talk about Leon Slater.

1075
00:59:09,988 --> 00:59:12,555
We know he's watching right now
while taking care of some

1076
00:59:12,588 --> 00:59:15,904
X Division Championship, TNA business,

1077
00:59:15,938 --> 00:59:19,654
and he's got to be thinking right now
Je'Von just needs to survive.

1078
00:59:20,254 --> 00:59:24,838
[Booker T] Yeah, that's the survival
in this situation right here.

1079
00:59:24,871 --> 00:59:27,288
[Vic] And at the same time,
you got to believe

1080
00:59:27,321 --> 00:59:29,754
that those two came up
with some sort of game plan.

1081
00:59:29,788 --> 00:59:32,871
But you know, Shugars
always has a game plan.

1082
00:59:34,538 --> 00:59:36,671
-[Vic] Look at that power right into him.
-[Booker T] Wow!

1083
00:59:36,705 --> 00:59:38,355
Wow, the Shugars Man right now.

1084
00:59:38,388 --> 00:59:40,288
[Vic] Inverted atomic drop.

1085
00:59:40,921 --> 00:59:42,038
You ever see that?

1086
00:59:42,071 --> 00:59:43,138
[Booker T] That's something
new right there.

1087
00:59:43,171 --> 00:59:44,521
That's a new little wrinkle right there.

1088
00:59:44,555 --> 00:59:47,855
But the DarkState
is all about innovative,

1089
00:59:48,571 --> 00:59:51,938
taking it to the next level,
breaking that glass ceiling.

1090
00:59:51,971 --> 00:59:55,238
[Vic] Now Shugars wants
to handle DarkState business

1091
00:59:55,271 --> 00:59:56,771
here tonight because it sounds…

1092
00:59:56,805 --> 00:59:58,805
I mean, maybe it doesn't sound too useful.

1093
00:59:58,838 --> 01:00:03,555
As your opinion, but it sounds like
Evans and Slater have some ideas

1094
01:00:03,588 --> 01:00:07,404
of dethroning DarkState,
the current Tag Team Champion.

1095
01:00:07,438 --> 01:00:09,721
[Booker T] Can you imagine
Evans and Slater as a Tag Team?

1096
01:00:09,754 --> 01:00:11,621
They could be unstoppable.

1097
01:00:11,654 --> 01:00:15,421
Two young men
with a plethora of talent, man.

1098
01:00:15,455 --> 01:00:17,588
[Vic] And you take a look at this matchup
and you start thinking

1099
01:00:17,621 --> 01:00:21,638
a little bit further, any win
help builds momentum to Gold Rush.

1100
01:00:21,671 --> 01:00:22,955
Two weeks, New York City.

1101
01:00:25,521 --> 01:00:27,771
Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and The Young OG…

1102
01:00:27,805 --> 01:00:29,788
[Booker T mumbling] …Sugarman

1103
01:00:29,821 --> 01:00:32,821
[Vic] But it also helps those
that want to compete

1104
01:00:32,855 --> 01:00:36,371
at Deadline in San Antonio on December 6.

1105
01:00:36,404 --> 01:00:39,904
You need a body of work
to even be in consideration

1106
01:00:39,938 --> 01:00:42,055
to be in those Iron Survivor matches.

1107
01:00:43,988 --> 01:00:47,771
As another championship
in the grasp of DarkState,

1108
01:00:47,805 --> 01:00:51,654
I mean, just imagine how much more
powerful that makes these rogue athletes.

1109
01:00:51,688 --> 01:00:53,555
[Booker T] I mean, DarkState, they…

1110
01:00:53,588 --> 01:00:55,788
They proved their point
at Halloween Havoc, man.

1111
01:00:55,821 --> 01:00:56,771
[Vic] Oh!

1112
01:00:56,805 --> 01:01:00,738
[Booker T] Going out there and competing
against the greatest tag team of all time.

1113
01:01:00,771 --> 01:01:03,355
Perhaps at least the greatest
tag team of this era,

1114
01:01:03,388 --> 01:01:07,254
and the hardest is not just competing,
but stepping out with a big victory.

1115
01:01:08,105 --> 01:01:09,355
[Vic] Well, Je'Von Evans, right now

1116
01:01:09,388 --> 01:01:11,855
trying to focus in
on picking up a victory here,

1117
01:01:11,888 --> 01:01:15,955
obviously does not like the numbers
advantages those that are on the outside.

1118
01:01:15,988 --> 01:01:19,138
-Cutler James, Osiris, Dion Lennox.
-[Booker T] Ah!

1119
01:01:19,171 --> 01:01:22,871
[Vic] That's a big a nasty backbreaker,
into the cover,

1120
01:01:22,904 --> 01:01:26,021
forearm right across the face,
and a near fall.

1121
01:01:26,055 --> 01:01:27,605
You know, you heard Ava a few moments ago

1122
01:01:27,638 --> 01:01:30,404
talking to some of the women
from the locker room,

1123
01:01:30,438 --> 01:01:33,688
Jacy Jayne, Zaria, Sol,
Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid.

1124
01:01:33,721 --> 01:01:34,921
She brought up John Cena.

1125
01:01:34,955 --> 01:01:38,388
Who should
represent NXT in the John Cena's

1126
01:01:38,421 --> 01:01:40,088
"Last Time Is Now" Tournament.

1127
01:01:40,121 --> 01:01:42,221
[Booker T] Look here,
I got a couple of names in mind,

1128
01:01:42,254 --> 01:01:44,021
but that's just me.

1129
01:01:44,055 --> 01:01:46,621
But I think it's just
a history-making moment

1130
01:01:46,654 --> 01:01:50,855
to be on John Cena's last ride,
the John Cena Tour.

1131
01:01:50,888 --> 01:01:52,605
That right there is
something you're gonna remember

1132
01:01:52,638 --> 01:01:55,321
for the rest of your life,
but to put yourself in position

1133
01:01:55,355 --> 01:01:58,254
to make your own little bit of history,
that's what it's all about.

1134
01:01:58,288 --> 01:02:01,105
[Vic] That's a great point. How about
that last kick from Je'Von Evans

1135
01:02:01,138 --> 01:02:04,705
buckling the body of his opponent,
and charging right in.

1136
01:02:04,738 --> 01:02:07,388
-And look at the…
-[Booker T] Oh, yes!

1137
01:02:07,421 --> 01:02:09,038
[Vic] …innovation.

1138
01:02:09,071 --> 01:02:13,288
[Booker T] Agile, quick,
mobile, versatile.

1139
01:02:13,321 --> 01:02:16,771
[Booker T] All about to get hostile.
Oh, yes, man!

1140
01:02:16,805 --> 01:02:18,605
[Vic] Big dropkick,
Shugars is on the outside

1141
01:02:18,638 --> 01:02:20,904
DarkState right now beside themselves.

1142
01:02:20,938 --> 01:02:22,321
Je'Von Evans rolling.

1143
01:02:22,355 --> 01:02:23,488
Listen to this place.

1144
01:02:23,521 --> 01:02:26,504
[audience chants] Young OG!

1145
01:02:26,538 --> 01:02:29,338
[shouts] Go back in, focus!

1146
01:02:29,371 --> 01:02:30,821
-Come on!
-[audience chants] Young OG!

1147
01:02:30,855 --> 01:02:34,938
[Vic] Dion throwing Shugarss back in
and Shugars is overpowering

1148
01:02:34,971 --> 01:02:36,838
and maybe that is what Shugarss needed.

1149
01:02:37,871 --> 01:02:40,055
Needed DarkState to refocus him

1150
01:02:40,088 --> 01:02:43,705
like we saw Izzi Dame refocused
Tatum Paxley earlier tonight.

1151
01:02:43,738 --> 01:02:47,305
And Shugars right now,
pouncing on top of Je'Von.

1152
01:02:47,338 --> 01:02:48,988
[Booker T] I like Dion Lennox
right there, said,

1153
01:02:49,021 --> 01:02:50,688
"Get back in there and focus."

1154
01:02:50,721 --> 01:02:52,705
Dion is the quarterback of this thing,

1155
01:02:52,738 --> 01:02:54,888
and he's doing a hell of a job, man.

1156
01:02:54,921 --> 01:02:56,921
-[Vic] Shugars--
-[Booker T] Oh, wow!

1157
01:02:56,955 --> 01:02:59,504
Shugars, Je'Von Evans,
who signed on the same day,

1158
01:02:59,538 --> 01:03:03,504
obviously took drastically different paths

1159
01:03:03,538 --> 01:03:06,821
to get to where they have
gone here on this brand.

1160
01:03:06,855 --> 01:03:08,888
[audience cheering]

1161
01:03:08,921 --> 01:03:12,771
But there's no doubt who the NXT Universe
is behind in this matchup.

1162
01:03:12,805 --> 01:03:15,438
It's one man, and that's The Young OG…

1163
01:03:15,471 --> 01:03:17,821
What the hell is Cutler James doing?

1164
01:03:17,855 --> 01:03:19,771
-[Booker T] Ah!
-[Vic] Creating a distraction,

1165
01:03:19,805 --> 01:03:21,188
opening the door.

1166
01:03:21,221 --> 01:03:25,305
nasty landing for Je'Von.
Can he bounce back on NXT?

1167
01:03:25,338 --> 01:03:27,971
[audience jeers]

1168
01:03:28,004 --> 01:03:29,654
We DarkState, dawg.

1169
01:03:31,888 --> 01:03:35,138
[Vic] NXT Universe right now
trying to rally The Young OG.

1170
01:03:35,838 --> 01:03:39,821
Je'Von Evans, trying his best,
finally able to break away.

1171
01:03:39,855 --> 01:03:41,538
And Shugars fell right into the cover.

1172
01:03:41,571 --> 01:03:43,688
His shoulders are down. And a near fall.

1173
01:03:44,421 --> 01:03:45,671
That was luck, was it not?

1174
01:03:45,705 --> 01:03:47,671
-Oh, man!
-[audience gasps]

1175
01:03:47,705 --> 01:03:50,488
Je'Von Evans is taking a beating
in this matchup right here tonight,

1176
01:03:51,721 --> 01:03:53,355
against the Shugars Man.

1177
01:03:53,388 --> 01:03:56,321
The Shugars Man is doing a hell
of a job breaking down the young man.

1178
01:03:57,438 --> 01:03:58,605
[Vic] That reminds me to take another--

1179
01:03:58,638 --> 01:04:00,455
-Boom!
-[Booker T] Wow!

1180
01:04:00,488 --> 01:04:01,888
[Vic] Into the jaw, I mean…

1181
01:04:01,921 --> 01:04:03,138
Back to live action,

1182
01:04:03,171 --> 01:04:05,171
big back body drop by Je'Von Evans.

1183
01:04:05,205 --> 01:04:07,904
It was Shugars who issued this challenge.

1184
01:04:08,538 --> 01:04:13,504
And you can say that DarkState maybe
is more focused now than ever before.

1185
01:04:14,371 --> 01:04:17,488
But the NXT Universe
rallying The Young OG,

1186
01:04:17,521 --> 01:04:18,671
who does not have any backup.

1187
01:04:18,705 --> 01:04:22,571
Leon Slater handling some TNA X Division
Championship business.

1188
01:04:23,705 --> 01:04:25,171
-Oh!
-[Booker T] You got to respect…

1189
01:04:25,205 --> 01:04:27,121
[Vic] And he's got to be like…
when you see it, I mean, right now.

1190
01:04:27,154 --> 01:04:28,721
[Booker T] You got to respect
Je'Von Evans.

1191
01:04:28,754 --> 01:04:32,404
I mean, taking this match,
knowing exactly what could happen,

1192
01:04:32,438 --> 01:04:33,271
with DarkState.

1193
01:04:33,305 --> 01:04:35,021
You gotta respect this kid.

1194
01:04:35,055 --> 01:04:37,254
[Vic] Certainly do.
And there's some power.

1195
01:04:37,288 --> 01:04:41,738
And there is some precision from Shugars
who's showing out here tonight.

1196
01:04:41,771 --> 01:04:44,805
Looking for a win and another near fall.

1197
01:04:44,838 --> 01:04:47,971
[Booker T] Shugars knows
how big this match is, I mean…

1198
01:04:48,004 --> 01:04:51,254
Tonight is definitely gonna put him
on the map for the singles divison--

1199
01:04:51,288 --> 01:04:54,538
-[Vic] Bam!
-[Booker T] Oh, beautiful dropkick.

1200
01:04:55,154 --> 01:04:57,138
[Vic] You know, you talked
about it earlier, but what did the victory

1201
01:04:57,171 --> 01:05:01,338
in the Broken Rules Match prove to you
about DarkState against The Hardys?

1202
01:05:01,371 --> 01:05:03,071
[Booker T] Let me tell you something.
I'm talking about

1203
01:05:03,105 --> 01:05:04,955
The clout that DarkState is carrying,

1204
01:05:04,988 --> 01:05:07,338
the cache that they have right now,

1205
01:05:07,371 --> 01:05:11,055
a win over the Hardy's.
Every bar they walk in,

1206
01:05:11,088 --> 01:05:12,921
that's the only thing
they're talking about.

1207
01:05:12,955 --> 01:05:16,254
We beat the Hardys, we got the title.

1208
01:05:16,288 --> 01:05:17,971
That's big news.

1209
01:05:24,305 --> 01:05:28,388
-[Vic] …Shugars-- Darkstate…
-[Booker] Disrespect right there.

1210
01:05:28,421 --> 01:05:31,138
[Vic] And I don't think Je'Von Evans
is gonna have any of it.

1211
01:05:31,171 --> 01:05:34,371
You see the eyes of Je'von?
You see that right hand from Je'Von?

1212
01:05:34,404 --> 01:05:37,055
-[Booker] He's a fighter.
-[Vic] Big kick answering right back.

1213
01:05:37,088 --> 01:05:40,654
It was Shugars who said last week
Darkstate doesn't chase opportunities.

1214
01:05:41,438 --> 01:05:43,521
They erase the ones who had it.

1215
01:05:43,555 --> 01:05:46,721
And Je'Von Evans trying
to fight back right now.

1216
01:05:46,754 --> 01:05:49,021
-Block out that message.
-[Booker] My man.

1217
01:05:49,055 --> 01:05:51,238
Rumble, young man, rumble.

1218
01:05:51,271 --> 01:05:52,588
Oh, yes!

1219
01:05:53,671 --> 01:05:56,871
Like I said, he put on about
ten pounds of muscle on his leg.

1220
01:05:57,455 --> 01:06:00,288
That's gonna do him a lot of good
in a matchup like this,

1221
01:06:00,321 --> 01:06:02,871
[Vic] Able to duck, big right hand drop
and Shugars coming right

1222
01:06:02,904 --> 01:06:06,588
back up here with a left swing
and a miss from Shugars, big jumpin punch,

1223
01:06:06,621 --> 01:06:09,855
connected under the jaw, almost a forearm,
following up one more time

1224
01:06:09,888 --> 01:06:11,771
and now Je'Von Evans
swinging for the fences.

1225
01:06:11,805 --> 01:06:14,438
And if the corner wasn't there,
Shugars wouldn't be standing.

1226
01:06:14,471 --> 01:06:16,605
But he's now been beat down.
He's been kicked down.

1227
01:06:16,638 --> 01:06:18,855
The Young OG has just taken over.

1228
01:06:18,888 --> 01:06:20,254
Hey!

1229
01:06:20,288 --> 01:06:22,855
[Booker] But this young man, Je'Von…

1230
01:06:22,888 --> 01:06:25,088
[shouting] Oh, man!

1231
01:06:26,004 --> 01:06:27,805
[Vic] Evans overshot the target

1232
01:06:27,838 --> 01:06:30,705
but got just enough of Shugars
to wipe him out.

1233
01:06:31,871 --> 01:06:33,788
Darkstate got the hell out of the way.

1234
01:06:34,821 --> 01:06:37,271
And for Je'Von Evans,
I don't know if Je'Von

1235
01:06:37,305 --> 01:06:39,771
was trying to pull
his arm back into place.

1236
01:06:39,805 --> 01:06:43,305
I don't know if Evans is 100%,
but he's flying through the air.

1237
01:06:44,504 --> 01:06:46,455
[Booker] Got all of it, got all of it!

1238
01:06:46,488 --> 01:06:49,904
[Vic] But he needs to get a little bit
more. Coming right back in.

1239
01:06:49,938 --> 01:06:52,071
Kick connects, right upside the ear.

1240
01:06:52,105 --> 01:06:53,421
Shugars is down.

1241
01:06:53,455 --> 01:06:54,705
Evans is into the cover.

1242
01:06:54,738 --> 01:06:56,171
Deep hook of the leg.

1243
01:06:57,321 --> 01:06:59,904
[Booker] Darkstate was raring right there.

1244
01:06:59,938 --> 01:07:01,021
[Vic] Whoa!

1245
01:07:03,371 --> 01:07:05,538
And I got to go back to a few moments ago,

1246
01:07:05,571 --> 01:07:08,438
and you still see Je'Von
holding onto his right arm.

1247
01:07:08,471 --> 01:07:10,688
[Booker] Maybe trying to pop his shoulder.

1248
01:07:10,721 --> 01:07:11,938
[Vic] Maybe wrists?

1249
01:07:11,971 --> 01:07:13,671
I don't know whatever it was

1250
01:07:13,705 --> 01:07:17,721
too much time taken by Je'Von
and Shugars able to get up.

1251
01:07:19,221 --> 01:07:23,321
And right now he's the one
who's looking for that exclamation point.

1252
01:07:23,355 --> 01:07:24,888
So to speak.

1253
01:07:25,805 --> 01:07:26,921
Sit down.

1254
01:07:29,588 --> 01:07:31,438
Shugars coulda had him.

1255
01:07:31,471 --> 01:07:33,021
[Booker] Shugars' [mumbles] right now.

1256
01:07:33,988 --> 01:07:35,271
Shugars is a showboat.

1257
01:07:36,371 --> 01:07:39,371
[Vic] Shugars' taking a high risk
attempt that wasn't needed

1258
01:07:39,404 --> 01:07:40,671
and he got caught.

1259
01:07:42,071 --> 01:07:45,021
And if one wasn't enough-- Again!

1260
01:07:45,055 --> 01:07:48,138
-[Booker] Good night!
-[Vic] Two cutters, into the cover.

1261
01:07:49,838 --> 01:07:51,088
Come on!

1262
01:07:51,121 --> 01:07:53,671
[Booker] Osiris coming into play
right here.

1263
01:07:53,705 --> 01:07:55,371
Oh, he ducked out!

1264
01:07:55,404 --> 01:07:57,705
[Vic] Book, how is this
not a disqualification?

1265
01:07:57,738 --> 01:08:00,721
[Booker] This kid knew exactly
what he was coming into here.

1266
01:08:02,038 --> 01:08:05,438
Oh, yes! Watch yourself, son.

1267
01:08:05,471 --> 01:08:07,871
-Oh, my God!
-[Vic] Everyone's wiped out.

1268
01:08:07,904 --> 01:08:10,888
This is that time.
This is your moment, Je'Von!

1269
01:08:10,921 --> 01:08:11,988
This is your moment.

1270
01:08:12,805 --> 01:08:16,705
Super kick under the jaw,
just dropped Saquon Shugars

1271
01:08:16,738 --> 01:08:19,571
and that boy getting bouncy!

1272
01:08:20,488 --> 01:08:21,788
Picture perfect.

1273
01:08:23,154 --> 01:08:25,671
Evans shocks Darkstate.

1274
01:08:27,021 --> 01:08:30,288
[Mike] Here is your winner, Je'Von Evans!

1275
01:08:30,988 --> 01:08:32,438
[Booker] Wow.

1276
01:08:32,471 --> 01:08:37,838
[Vic] Evans by the skin of his teeth,
survives. Getting out of the ring,

1277
01:08:37,871 --> 01:08:39,838
that's the quickest
I've ever seen him move.

1278
01:08:39,871 --> 01:08:41,738
With Darkstate looking on.

1279
01:08:41,771 --> 01:08:43,904
Big win for Je'Von.

1280
01:08:47,338 --> 01:08:50,104
But we got to switch
our focus to next week

1281
01:08:50,138 --> 01:08:54,021
because Ricky Saints, is he 100%.
Who will be able to

1282
01:08:54,054 --> 01:08:57,838
incapacitate their opponent,
who will be the last man

1283
01:08:57,871 --> 01:09:01,771
standing for the NXT championship?

1284
01:09:01,804 --> 01:09:03,438
But Booker, that is not

1285
01:09:03,471 --> 01:09:07,321
the only championship
that will be defended next week

1286
01:09:07,354 --> 01:09:10,388
because five minutes
will be put on the clock.

1287
01:09:10,421 --> 01:09:14,455
El Grande Americano
defends his Speed Championship

1288
01:09:14,488 --> 01:09:17,854
against Jasper Troy,
both those championship matches

1289
01:09:17,888 --> 01:09:21,404
are live next week, right here on NXT.

1290
01:09:27,688 --> 01:09:33,271
Ava, as I said last week, I want my first
title defense to be, well, glamorous.

1291
01:09:33,304 --> 01:09:37,988
So I'm thinking New York City,
the skyline, the biggest stars.

1292
01:09:38,021 --> 01:09:39,755
It's going to be amazing.

1293
01:09:39,788 --> 01:09:43,388
Yes, it's going to be something.
And you know now that you mention it,

1294
01:09:43,421 --> 01:09:46,354
Sol Ruca was actually just in here,
and if she's cleared,

1295
01:09:46,388 --> 01:09:48,755
then that's gonna be
your opponent at Gold Rush.

1296
01:09:48,788 --> 01:09:51,338
She wants her rematch,
and I think she deserves it.

1297
01:09:52,121 --> 01:09:54,605
Bless her.
I don't think she's physically capable.

1298
01:09:54,638 --> 01:09:57,154
You know, her knee can't
really hold her up right now.

1299
01:09:57,188 --> 01:10:00,054
Look, I have my concerns,
but she's confident,

1300
01:10:00,088 --> 01:10:02,988
and if medical clears her,
then she's gonna give it a go.

1301
01:10:03,021 --> 01:10:05,605
And, you know,
she never lost that title, right?

1302
01:10:05,638 --> 01:10:07,971
Yes. Ava, I'm well aware.

1303
01:10:08,005 --> 01:10:09,955
I just hope she knows what she's doing.

1304
01:10:09,988 --> 01:10:11,538
[phone ringing]

1305
01:10:12,988 --> 01:10:13,821
Huh.

1306
01:10:14,455 --> 01:10:15,288
Nosy girl.

1307
01:10:15,321 --> 01:10:17,355
-No.
-Well, I've got to go.

1308
01:10:17,388 --> 01:10:20,605
My better half is asking
for an exclusive interview next week.

1309
01:10:21,121 --> 01:10:21,988
[kisses]

1310
01:10:24,271 --> 01:10:25,138
Better half?

1311
01:10:26,755 --> 01:10:28,355
[Vic] What's your phone out for?

1312
01:10:28,388 --> 01:10:30,955
We'll move on to that
because in a couple of moments

1313
01:10:30,988 --> 01:10:35,455
we're going to hear from the new
AA A Mixed Tag Team Champions.

1314
01:10:35,488 --> 01:10:37,721
It's celebration time on NXT.

1315
01:10:41,871 --> 01:10:42,721
It's not okay.

1316
01:10:42,755 --> 01:10:45,088
It's not. It's my fault
that we lost that match

1317
01:10:45,121 --> 01:10:47,304
and you were trying
to protect me the entire match.

1318
01:10:47,338 --> 01:10:50,088
And the one second she needed me
I wasn't there for you.

1319
01:10:50,121 --> 01:10:51,488
I forgive you.

1320
01:10:51,521 --> 01:10:54,455
I forgive you, but this is exactly
what I am talking about.

1321
01:10:54,488 --> 01:10:57,538
You cannot continue to make decisions
based on your emotions.

1322
01:10:57,571 --> 01:10:59,621
You can't keep riding the highs and lows.

1323
01:10:59,655 --> 01:11:02,054
That's how we keep getting
in these situations, Tatum.

1324
01:11:03,738 --> 01:11:06,638
Look, you're a champion now,
and you can't keep making

1325
01:11:06,671 --> 01:11:10,155
irrational decisions and handing out
title opportunities on a whim.

1326
01:11:10,188 --> 01:11:13,005
You've worked so hard
over the last four years

1327
01:11:13,038 --> 01:11:15,105
to become our NXT Womens Champion.

1328
01:11:15,138 --> 01:11:19,005
And if you don't start thinking before
you act, you risk losing that title.

1329
01:11:20,071 --> 01:11:20,921
You're right.

1330
01:11:21,505 --> 01:11:24,121
Look, I'm not saying
any of this to be mean.

1331
01:11:24,155 --> 01:11:25,755
I'm saying this, God, I care.

1332
01:11:25,788 --> 01:11:27,554
I care so much and they care.

1333
01:11:27,588 --> 01:11:31,038
And we want this title
in The Culling a very, very long time.

1334
01:11:32,021 --> 01:11:34,038
I want it in The Culling forever.

1335
01:11:34,605 --> 01:11:37,238
Izzy, thank you for being
such a great friend.

1336
01:11:37,271 --> 01:11:40,171
And guys, thank you all
for accepting me into this family.

1337
01:11:41,421 --> 01:11:45,005
I promise from here on out,
I will be a lot more selective of

1338
01:11:45,038 --> 01:11:47,338
who gets a title opportunity, I promise.

1339
01:11:47,371 --> 01:11:50,138
Thank you. I'm glad we're all
on the same page.

1340
01:11:50,171 --> 01:11:54,971
But there is one more thing next
week that I have to do to feel satisfied.

1341
01:11:55,005 --> 01:11:56,205
Okay? [laughs nervously]

1342
01:11:56,238 --> 01:11:57,788
I promise. Just one more thing.

1343
01:12:02,938 --> 01:12:05,921
[Mike] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

1344
01:12:06,771 --> 01:12:08,371
the new Triple A

1345
01:12:10,955 --> 01:12:16,005
mixed tag team champions, Chelsea Green

1346
01:12:16,771 --> 01:12:22,955
and the NXT North American champion
All Ego, Ethan Page!

1347
01:12:24,405 --> 01:12:26,621
[Booker] Oh, yeah, man!

1348
01:12:26,655 --> 01:12:28,205
Here we go.

1349
01:12:28,238 --> 01:12:29,105
Here we go.

1350
01:12:31,505 --> 01:12:33,038
Shut it. Shut it, Vic.

1351
01:12:34,071 --> 01:12:40,671
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the mui grande champion

1352
01:12:40,705 --> 01:12:41,788
celebration!

1353
01:12:44,138 --> 01:12:45,488
Or celebration

1354
01:12:45,521 --> 01:12:47,071
if you only speak English.

1355
01:12:48,538 --> 01:12:52,855
Folks, I'm here to talk about two
of the greatest Canadians to ever live.

1356
01:12:52,888 --> 01:12:57,338
Now, the fact of the matter is,
is that we don't have many fans.

1357
01:12:57,371 --> 01:13:02,355
Not here tonight,
in locker rooms around the world.

1358
01:13:02,388 --> 01:13:08,988
Everybody hates us because what we do,
Chelsea, we say things and they come true.

1359
01:13:10,088 --> 01:13:16,355
Ladies and gents, we said we were going to
become the AAA mixed tag team champions,

1360
01:13:16,388 --> 01:13:21,405
and we stand here before you, the AAA

1361
01:13:22,054 --> 01:13:25,955
mixed tag team champions.

1362
01:13:31,421 --> 01:13:32,971
But let's not forget,

1363
01:13:33,788 --> 01:13:35,988
I also stand before you,

1364
01:13:36,021 --> 01:13:39,371
the reigning, defending greatest

1365
01:13:39,405 --> 01:13:44,188
to ever hold, the North American champion.

1366
01:13:46,038 --> 01:13:51,388
Proving my point once again
that I really am the greatest

1367
01:13:51,421 --> 01:13:57,288
North American to ever lace up
a pair of boots in a WWE ring.

1368
01:13:58,488 --> 01:14:01,338
Ethan, I totally, totally understand you

1369
01:14:01,371 --> 01:14:05,638
because as a fellow Canadian
and one half of the mixed AAA

1370
01:14:07,171 --> 01:14:13,238
tag team champions, and, of course, future
two time United States women's champion.

1371
01:14:13,271 --> 01:14:14,338
This Friday.

1372
01:14:14,371 --> 01:14:15,521
We're despised.

1373
01:14:16,655 --> 01:14:17,554
And you know what?

1374
01:14:18,138 --> 01:14:22,304
Jealousy is a disease,
and this locker room is riddled with it.

1375
01:14:22,338 --> 01:14:24,355
-Poisoned?
-Who could blame them, though?

1376
01:14:24,388 --> 01:14:25,255
Look at us.

1377
01:14:25,288 --> 01:14:30,405
I mean name a more iconic duo
in wrestling history

1378
01:14:30,438 --> 01:14:35,538
that has potential to take over
the entire industry than us.

1379
01:14:38,738 --> 01:14:39,905
I didn't think so.

1380
01:14:41,021 --> 01:14:43,321
Folks, this was not a mistake.

1381
01:14:43,355 --> 01:14:46,038
We did not fall into these championships.

1382
01:14:46,071 --> 01:14:50,271
No, we said it and it came true.

1383
01:14:50,304 --> 01:14:52,255
And what we plan to do with these

1384
01:14:52,288 --> 01:14:57,371
AAA mixed tag team titles
is we plan to defend them

1385
01:14:57,405 --> 01:15:00,821
against anybody and everybody.

1386
01:15:01,905 --> 01:15:05,671
Okay. Okay.
Don't let it ruin our night, Ethan.

1387
01:15:06,205 --> 01:15:08,804
This is our mui grande…

1388
01:15:08,838 --> 01:15:10,755
-We're celebrating.
-…champions celebration.

1389
01:15:10,788 --> 01:15:13,288
Whatever it is. I've got the margaritas.

1390
01:15:13,321 --> 01:15:14,271
Yes. Great margaritas.

1391
01:15:14,304 --> 01:15:15,804
-Thank you.
-We've got the decor.

1392
01:15:15,838 --> 01:15:16,855
I tried my best.

1393
01:15:16,888 --> 01:15:22,605
And we've got the desperadoes in the crowd
acknowledging our greatness.

1394
01:15:22,638 --> 01:15:27,171
-I just wish that Joe was--
-Don't say that name!

1395
01:15:28,288 --> 01:15:31,255
You say that name, it ruins everything.
We're celebrating.

1396
01:15:31,288 --> 01:15:34,888
-Not tonight.
-Okay, Ethan, I just wanted to say

1397
01:15:34,921 --> 01:15:38,505
-that I wish he was here because Joe--
-No!

1398
01:15:40,155 --> 01:15:41,621
Don't say it.

1399
01:15:41,655 --> 01:15:43,355
Don't say it. He ruins everything.

1400
01:15:44,355 --> 01:15:45,804
[whispering] Is he in there?

1401
01:15:45,838 --> 01:15:47,388
[Vic] Did he point at the cake?

1402
01:15:48,005 --> 01:15:49,821
[crowd chanting] Say his name!

1403
01:15:50,538 --> 01:15:51,405
You know what?

1404
01:15:54,255 --> 01:15:57,054
You know what?
Just say his name and we'll deal with it.

1405
01:15:57,088 --> 01:15:59,388
I think that's a good idea.
You should say it.

1406
01:15:59,921 --> 01:16:01,488
[mumbles] Say it.

1407
01:16:03,054 --> 01:16:03,905
Joe Hendry.

1408
01:16:06,438 --> 01:16:08,571
[Joe Hendry song playing]

1409
01:16:14,621 --> 01:16:15,855
Where is he?

1410
01:16:18,438 --> 01:16:22,521
Say his name and he appears.

1411
01:16:23,521 --> 01:16:27,205
Sometimes the straightforward
approach is best.

1412
01:16:27,238 --> 01:16:31,571
But Ethan and Chelsea,
you took my advice the wrong way.

1413
01:16:31,605 --> 01:16:35,588
You got so caught up in your own egos

1414
01:16:35,621 --> 01:16:39,705
that you forgot what
real talent is.looks like.

1415
01:16:39,738 --> 01:16:41,571
Okay, Joe, that's enough.

1416
01:16:41,605 --> 01:16:43,888
Cut to the chase, buddy.
I know you're up to something.

1417
01:16:43,921 --> 01:16:45,271
Just say what you want.

1418
01:16:45,304 --> 01:16:48,355
You want a shot
at the North American title at Gold Rush?

1419
01:16:48,388 --> 01:16:49,255
Go ahead.

1420
01:16:49,288 --> 01:16:50,638
Ethan. Ethan!

1421
01:16:50,671 --> 01:16:52,605
Ethan! It's true.

1422
01:16:52,638 --> 01:16:55,155
I do want a title shot.

1423
01:16:57,688 --> 01:17:04,038
I want a shot at the
AAA Mixed tag team title.

1424
01:17:04,938 --> 01:17:08,255
Joe, buddy, I don't know
how the metric system works

1425
01:17:08,288 --> 01:17:09,988
and wherever the hell you're from.

1426
01:17:10,021 --> 01:17:11,238
Same as Canada.

1427
01:17:11,271 --> 01:17:16,521
But there's two of us
and one of you, news flash.

1428
01:17:16,554 --> 01:17:19,105
-You, my friend, need a partner.
-A partner?

1429
01:17:20,188 --> 01:17:23,588
I need a partner.
So maybe someone who could do the spin.

1430
01:17:24,538 --> 01:17:28,471
Someone who could wave their hands
from side to side.

1431
01:17:29,554 --> 01:17:32,771
Someone who can stand beside me and chant,

1432
01:17:32,804 --> 01:17:34,888
"We believe."

1433
01:17:34,921 --> 01:17:37,005
[Ethan] Okay, so who? Who?

1434
01:17:37,505 --> 01:17:38,338
Who?

1435
01:17:38,371 --> 01:17:42,938
Well, I mean, I was gonna keep it
a secret until Gold Rush.

1436
01:17:42,971 --> 01:17:47,355
But if you want to know
who is right here tonight,

1437
01:17:50,505 --> 01:17:55,655
then all you have to do is say her name.

1438
01:17:57,355 --> 01:18:01,205
♪ Say her name and she appears… ♪

1439
01:18:01,238 --> 01:18:04,205
♪ I believe in Thea ♪

1440
01:18:10,188 --> 01:18:11,938
[Vic] Booker, it's Thea Hail!

1441
01:18:13,321 --> 01:18:15,288
[Booker] Oh, no. What the hell!

1442
01:18:16,438 --> 01:18:18,188
[Vic] You were so right.

1443
01:18:18,221 --> 01:18:22,188
I believe in championship celebrations.

1444
01:18:23,321 --> 01:18:24,655
Hail yeah!

1445
01:18:26,905 --> 01:18:28,138
[Booker] Come on!

1446
01:18:31,755 --> 01:18:33,905
[Vic] Couldn't have happened
to a nicer guy.

1447
01:18:39,655 --> 01:18:40,771
[Booker] Don't do it.

1448
01:18:43,471 --> 01:18:45,021
[Vic] Are you having fun, Book?

1449
01:18:45,054 --> 01:18:46,788
What happened to your smile, Book?

1450
01:18:50,138 --> 01:18:52,105
We all believe!

1451
01:18:55,388 --> 01:19:02,304
And I believe, that you shouldn't miss
what's going to happen next week.

1452
01:19:02,338 --> 01:19:03,888
Live, right here,

1453
01:19:05,371 --> 01:19:06,221
on NXT.

1454
01:19:14,688 --> 01:19:18,971
Because next week, first and foremost, the
Speed Championship will be on the line.

1455
01:19:19,005 --> 01:19:23,855
El Grande Americano defends against
Jasper Troy, five minutes on the clock.

1456
01:19:23,888 --> 01:19:28,605
Who will lead speed champions
next week? On the topic of champions,

1457
01:19:28,638 --> 01:19:31,738
we're going to hear from our women's
champion, Tatum Paxley, she said

1458
01:19:31,771 --> 01:19:34,938
tonight there's one last thing
she needs to do to be satisfied.

1459
01:19:34,971 --> 01:19:38,321
We'll find out next week,
and there will be one last fight.

1460
01:19:38,355 --> 01:19:41,271
Trick Williams, Ricky Saints
for the NXT title.

1461
01:19:41,304 --> 01:19:44,438
Who will be the last man standing?

1462
01:19:50,554 --> 01:19:53,121
We will find that all out,

1463
01:19:53,155 --> 01:19:55,355
next week live on NXT.

1464
01:19:55,388 --> 01:20:01,304
But I'm sure that many, many more people
could believe and will believe

1465
01:20:01,338 --> 01:20:05,738
in a new pair of AAA
mixed tag team champions

1466
01:20:05,771 --> 01:20:09,005
who could be crowned
two weeks from tonight,

1467
01:20:09,038 --> 01:20:12,121
New York City at Gold Rush.
ks from tonight,
