WWE NXT _June 17, 2025 - Izzi Dame Vs Zaria _ WWE Evolution Eliminator Match - Round 1
Transcript
00:00The following is the evolution
00:28Eliminator!
00:32Introducing first, accompanied by the NXT Women's North American Champion Sol Ruka
00:38from LA, South Australia, Zarya!
00:45Graves, can we put to rest that Zarya is envious of the Women's North American Champion.
00:51A lot of people were talking about it, looks at Zarya was flashing at Sol Ruka.
00:55They are two women operating as one.
00:59That's your opinion, you're entitled to it, you're entitled to be wrong.
01:02That's okay, I'll tell you, you were wrong whenever it's proven to be the case.
01:05The fact is, Zarya is a dangerous competitor no matter what her motivations are.
01:10Matter of fact, after Raw last night, I caught up with none other than Bayley.
01:14And Bayley couldn't help but tell me how much she enjoys watching Zarya dominate the NXT Women's Division.
01:21Truth will ultimately prevail.
01:26But there is pain, bringing it to light.
01:33And her opponent, representing the calling, Easy Game!
01:52With the steel chair in hand that she dropped Brooks Jensen with, taking him out of the culling.
02:06Six Feet Under with The Undertaker is now available under the WWE Podcast Network in partnership with Fanatics.
02:12The latest episode dropped last Thursday with new co-host Michelle McCool.
02:16Download Six Feet Under with The Undertaker on all audio platforms and watch on WWE YouTube.
02:24Graves has an Izzy now show in the world.
02:26She is as dangerous as anyone in that NXT locker room.
02:30No doubt about it.
02:31This is a massive opportunity, not only for Izzy Day, but the culling as a whole.
02:35If you want to amass power here in NXT, it could all begin in this matchup if Izzy can advance to the Fatal 4-Way.
02:42Well, Booker, I'll go back and ask you about what I asked Graves about.
02:45Zarya being out.
02:46Whoa!
02:47Floor is down!
02:48Kick out by Zarya, and Izzy Dayne trying to put a quick end to this matchup.
02:51This is the third Evolution Eliminator of the night.
02:54Lash Legend, Jakara Jackson, or excuse me, Jada Parker have already advanced in next week's Fatal 4-Way.
03:00First time these two have met, one-on-one, big right hand by Zarya, caught though by Izzy Dayne.
03:06I mean, you take a look at these two women in this matchup.
03:09Man.
03:11Is Zarya envious of Soul?
03:14Look, look it, Zarya's getting that championship real close.
03:18No!
03:19I totally understand that, because you wanna be the next alive.
03:23You wanna get a shot at that championship, so you gotta secure that championship.
03:27So right now, Zarya's doing the right thing in my opinion.
03:29Into the cover, hook of the leg, and a near fall.
03:31Wow!
03:32I mean- What's that old saying?
03:33You keep your friends close.
03:34Yeah, exactly.
03:36I guess.
03:37I mean, look, first time these two have met, one-on-one.
03:40Obviously, big stakes, Soul Rupa there on the outside.
03:43I have a hard time believing that you believe that Zarya and Soul are on the exact same page.
03:49Somehow, Zarya doesn't have ulterior motives.
03:51What about Zarya makes you think she would spend ten seconds making a TikTok video with anybody?
03:58For one second.
03:59Have you not been watching it?
04:00They have fun-
04:01For one second.
04:02For one second.
04:03Don't just be a talking head.
04:04That's what he's trying to say.
04:05That's what you are on your show with Brad.
04:07What do you mean talking head?
04:08I feel like they have fun social media posts.
04:10They finish each other's sentences, as we just witnessed.
04:13They both have extended the branch of friendship to someone like Tatum.
04:16You know, they're on the same page.
04:18They're friends.
04:19You talk about, would she do it?
04:20Yeah, we've seen the posts on social media.
04:22Last week's was ruined, as a matter of fact, by Kalani and Lash.
04:25As right now, Soul on the outside rooting on her partner, her friend, who is one step away from that fatal four-way.
04:32I spend more time on TikTok than my teenage daughter is disturbing.
04:35Look at the power of Zarya.
04:37Looking to turn the lights out on Izzy Dang.
04:39In control is Zarya.
04:42Booker, I also want to talk about- Beautiful baby.
04:46Just how big it is, going into the cover, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
04:50Which one of these two women will advance to next week's four-way?
04:54Who will itch closer to Evolution?
04:56Let's get ready to say, Booker, how big is it for anyone from NXT to compete at WWE Evolution?
05:16No, no, this is huge, this is huge for all of us.
05:19This is Evolution 2 and actually-
05:21Cover, look at the leg.
05:22Kick out.
05:23That's well overdue in my opinion.
05:25And the thing is, for the ladies to step up, Ava's doing a hell of a job.
05:29It's all about competition.
05:31And my thing, who's got the better locker room?
05:33Is it the men or is it the ladies?
05:35We're gonna find out.
05:36Well look, Graves has talked about it going up during Monday Night Raw last night.
05:40Just heard your comment about what you talked to Bayley about.
05:43The NXT women's locker room really has put everybody in professional wrestling on notice.
05:48Absolutely, and this is a great decision by Ava because let's say you don't get the
05:51opportunity to make it to the Fatal 4-Way, you don't get to get to Evolution.
05:55This is still a fantastic showcase for the majority of the women's roster here in NXT.
05:59You may not make it to the match you so desire, but every opportunity can change your career.
06:04That's fair, and as this matchup has gone on, it's really been 50-50 down the middle.
06:08Poker, if you break this down in your opinion, who has the strength advantage,
06:12as Izzy's showing her strength right now?
06:14You're not gonna be the-
06:16Sit down, grabbing the leg.
06:19Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
06:21Nice counter.
06:22Another near fall.
06:23You're looking, sorry, you're looking, well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
06:25Nice cover, kick out.
06:27Back to the, in my opinion, look at the back, look at the pieces, look at the legs of Zarya.
06:34Inside cradle, shoulders down.
06:36Izzy able to counter, shoulders down now, and another near fall.
06:40Get it, get it.
06:41Strength advantage, you talk about strategy, and now Izzy trying to overpower.
06:46Zarya overpowering with a spinning back elbow.
06:50And turning right around, I mean, what a match.
06:55This has been a hard-hitting affair, the third Evolution Eliminator of the night.
07:01I don't think we really can shoot someone who has the strength advantage.
07:04They're both showing up and showing up.
07:06Izzy Dame definitely has a, there's something about Izzy.
07:09Talk about that, in fact, Izzy Dame definitely has, here we go.
07:13Another cover, another kick out.
07:14Man.
07:15And so impressive, both these women, so impressive, the women's division here in NXT.
07:22And to that point, Graves, that's why Ava had to make four Evolution Eliminator matches,
07:26because there is so many women that are eyeing up that NXT Women's Championship
07:31currently held by JC Jane.
07:33Off the neck breaker, into the cover, and Zarya once again kicking out it too.
07:36There's a great deal of parody throughout the division.
07:38And the question still remains, who is gonna be the next to step up?
07:41If everybody says JC Jane is beatable, who is gonna actually accomplish that?
07:45Because you've got a hungry locker room, and with the departures of Roxanne Perez,
07:50Julia, Stephanie Vaquer, heading up to Raw and SmackDown, the opportunity cannot be
07:54overstated.
07:55This is wide open for somebody to change their life, to grab the proverbial brass ring.
08:00We talked about earlier, Booker actually was Graves were brought up.
08:04JC Jane, what is she thinking in this moment?
08:06Being called a beatable, not only that, the most beatable champion in WWE history.
08:10I can tell you this, JC Jane is living her best life after scratching, clawing,
08:15to get to that championship.
08:17You gotta give her a lot of credit, man.
08:19Who of this matchup is going to advance to next week's Fatal 4-Way?
08:30This has been quite a hard-hitting match between both these women.
08:33Again, hats off to our gentleman, Andrea Ava, for making this one of the Evolution
08:37Eliminators here tonight.
08:38Blake Monroe, by the way, NXT contract signing still to come here on NXT.
08:44Izzy just trying to hold on, and just got her hands snapped off the top.
08:49Zari was looking for that German suplex, nice counter, and Sean Spears,
08:54Niko Vance on the outside.
08:56High impact offense.
08:58Izzy Dame right now, charging right in.
09:02And Booker, it's hard to argue Izzy has been on the rise all of 2025.
09:07Let me tell you, Zari went for that back suplex right there, but Izzy's linked.
09:11Her height right there helped her in that situation.
09:14And right now, she's rolling, man.
09:16Big body slam.
09:17Izzy falling into the cover, hook of the leg once again, and another near fall.
09:22Zari, we talked about how impressive she is week in and week out, Graves.
09:27I don't recall seeing Zaria in this state ever in a one-on-one contest here on NXT.
09:33I would agree with you, which means you have no choice but to give credit to Izzy Dame,
09:37who has put Zaria in all this peril, looking for a choke slam.
09:40That can do it.
09:41My God.
09:42Got all of it to advance, and a kick out by Zaria.
09:46An unorthodox cover by Dame, might have crossed her.
09:49Let's take another look, but this is incredible power.
09:52Holy culling member Izzy Dame nearly putting Zaria through the ring.
09:57And look, Booker, is the culling the same without Izzy?
10:00I don't think so.
10:01I mean, James Brown said it a long time ago.
10:04It's a man's world, but it ain't got that without a woman, without Izzy Dame.
10:09I think that's what he said, man.
10:10Well, Spears said he suffered so that she and Nico can thrive.
10:14To be fair, without Izzy, Spears would not have won the North American Championship several months ago.
10:19As Izzy looking for her own championship dream, big clothesline by Zaria.
10:23And Zaria right now seems to have gotten a second win to your grave, big pump kick.
10:28And Zaria now starting to find that momentum.
10:31I don't know where, I don't know how, but your eyes are not deceiving you.
10:34Zaria turning the ties of this matchup, big body slam.
10:38Can Zaria finish the job?
10:40Tried a German suplex earlier, did not work.
10:42This time it is successful.
10:44Got all of it.
10:45Come on!
10:47Fired up, power versus power here in this third evolution eliminator of the-
10:52What?
10:53Tata Paxley?
10:54Look at that!
10:55Look at that!
10:56Look at that!
10:57Look at that!
10:58Look at that!
10:59Look at that!
11:00Look at that!
11:01Look at that!
11:02Look at that!
11:03Well, Zaria just got caught, just got dropped by Izzy Dame, and Dame just dropped Zaria.
11:06Here is her winner, Izzy Dame!
11:07Zaria made the fatal flaw of taking her eye off the task at hand, paying a little too much
11:21attention to Sol Ruka on the outside.
11:24There's the German suplex from Zaria, she began to roll.
11:27Tatum Paxley decided now is an appropriate time to hug Sol Ruka.
11:32Look at that!
11:33Zaria looked away for just a second and gets caught sky high, down low.
11:38Izzy Dame advances to the fatal four-way to crown the number one contender come evolution.
11:47Izzy chases chaos, and is now chasing the NXT Women's Championship.
