00:00:00I won't remember you.
00:00:02On the fireworks, come early tonight.
00:00:04Welcome to NXT on the CW, presented by Progressive.
00:00:10NXT, NXT, NXT.
00:00:20And what a way to kick off NXT.
00:00:26Look at that man.
00:00:28Uh, look at it.
00:00:30All up.
00:00:33Chisels called, not a granite.
00:00:35The boys looking good.
00:00:38Come on, man.
00:00:39Stand up.
00:00:40Stand up.
00:00:41This is the TNAL.
00:00:44Good company.
00:00:45Oh, that man.
00:00:48That man.
00:00:49Drake Williams.
00:00:51Oh, yes, man.
00:00:53Oh, yes.
00:00:54Yes.
00:00:54Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the TNAL World Champion, Trent Williams.
00:01:10Still going, huh?
00:01:13That's right.
00:01:14Oh, I got good news for you.
00:01:16What do you think he'll keep his head set off all night?
00:01:24It's already in dereliction of duty.
00:01:25We just got started.
00:01:26But the announce table is about to become Trick N.A.
00:01:32That's right.
00:01:32You got a long night ahead of you.
00:01:42You better take a breath.
00:01:44Let's talk about it.
00:01:45Yeah, baby.
00:01:46Ha, ha, ha.
00:01:47The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:01:54Introducing first, representing the high rise, weighing in at 178 pounds, Wesley.
00:02:04As the TNA World Champion gets settled in, Graves, how big of a match is this for someone
00:02:10like Wesley, or by someone like Wesley, you mean somebody who feels perpetually overlooked
00:02:16and underrated.
00:02:17This could be a game-changing, career-altering opportunity for Wesley, who fully understands
00:02:23the assignment tonight.
00:02:24Wesley knows full well what is at his fingertips tonight.
00:02:28It was Wesley who told you, Trent Williams, he will take care of his opponent tonight.
00:02:34So is how you do it on the west side, though.
00:02:36Oh, Trent, I gotta ask.
00:02:38I know there's a lot of history between you and Wesley.
00:02:40It seems like it's all water under the bridge.
00:02:42You all on the same page now?
00:02:43Man, you gotta let that go, Corey.
00:02:44All right.
00:02:45It's a long time ago.
00:02:46I've been accused of hanging under a grudge once in a while.
00:02:48I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:02:52I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:02:56Because we love London and Paris and Tokyo.
00:02:59And his opponent, from Edinburgh Scotland, swinging at 252 pounds.
00:03:06I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:03:11It's a damn thing.
00:03:12Listen to this place.
00:03:16Everyone on their feet.
00:03:20For one-third of the main event at TNA Slammiversary.
00:03:26Look at this.
00:03:29Look at him.
00:03:29And as we get ready for this, and I see tricks snarling.
00:03:41Graves, is Hendry's aggressive nature due to things that have been said to him or about him inside that TNA locker room?
00:03:48Well, listen, I don't know that Joe Hendry is aggressive by nature.
00:03:51I think there's somewhere deep down inside that Hendry does his best to contain.
00:03:56But what Hendry needs to do tonight and going forward is let that wild side out.
00:04:00Let's not forget that wild side started to come out when he attacked you, Trick Williams.
00:04:04He attacked you last week.
00:04:06Hold on one second, Big.
00:04:07Corey, why is you waving your hand?
00:04:09I was stretching.
00:04:09I got a cramp.
00:04:10I apologize.
00:04:10Well, you need to fix that.
00:04:11It's a misunderstanding.
00:04:12He was waving.
00:04:13He was waving.
00:04:15All right, now.
00:04:16Hey, Corey, did you just call Joe Hendry a little soft?
00:04:19Did I hear that?
00:04:20No.
00:04:20No, that must have been a producer in your head.
00:04:22Okay.
00:04:23I was just saying.
00:04:25Well, as we get ready to settle in here, Trick, how are you preparing for the matchup coming up?
00:04:30TNA Slammiversary, July 20th, yourself, Joe Hendry, Mike Santana for the TNA World Title.
00:04:37You do not need to be factored in the decision to lose the TNA World Title.
00:04:41I'm going to be real, Big.
00:04:43What are they doing?
00:04:44I beat Joe Hendry.
00:04:46I beat Mike Santana.
00:04:47They need to prepare.
00:04:48Thanks.
00:04:49I'm the man here.
00:04:50Is there any difference, Trick, for you in preparation knowing you're going to step across enemy lines?
00:04:55You're going into TNA territory.
00:04:56Man, I done been there before.
00:04:58Look, man, I've been doing this a long time, man.
00:05:00I've been doing this for two years.
00:05:01Let me put some respect in my name.
00:05:03Don't get hostile with Corey there, Trick.
00:05:05Booker, though, I do want to ask you, if you were a TNA wrestler, what would you be saying to Joe Hendry?
00:05:10What would I be saying?
00:05:11You dropped the damn ball.
00:05:12You let the locker room down.
00:05:14You let everybody in TNA down.
00:05:16That's what I would be saying.
00:05:17What would you be saying?
00:05:18What would you be saying if you were in the damn locker room and this guy just walked away and just let everybody?
00:05:23What would you be saying?
00:05:24I'd probably just be happy to be there.
00:05:26That might be waiting for the damn locker room.
00:05:28Just that might be a little.
00:05:30Well, it's not as if Henry hasn't tried.
00:05:32Mike Santana lost to first class.
00:05:34We saw what happened to Elijah.
00:05:36And Trick, do you care to comment on Henry's attack to you last week?
00:05:41Look, man, he a sucker.
00:05:42He a sucker.
00:05:43I mean, what type of man wants to hit a man when he ain't watching?
00:05:46Behind his back.
00:05:48Man, if you was really like that, announce yourself.
00:05:50He always popping up in appearing places.
00:05:52How about he announce himself and beat somebody up like a man?
00:05:54In other words, he needs to tag you if he's going to pick up on you, right?
00:05:58You know what I'm saying?
00:05:58Tag you in.
00:05:59I feel you, dog.
00:06:00Let's talk about it.
00:06:01Right now, Joe Henry trying to out-muscle Wes Lee.
00:06:04Lee, though, trying his best to counter the strength and doing it with his athleticism.
00:06:09What a way to kick off NXT.
00:06:12It's holiday week.
00:06:13Oh, big kick.
00:06:15Beautiful there, though.
00:06:16And charging right back in comes Wes Lee.
00:06:19And Grace, hasn't Lee been someone that has stood out to you over his time here in NXT?
00:06:24No doubt about it.
00:06:26None more so than in this moment.
00:06:28Drop kicking Henry into our announce desk.
00:06:30Listen, Wes Lee has been on the record multiple times about how hungry he is,
00:06:34about how he wants to be in the main event.
00:06:36He wants to be the conversation in NXT.
00:06:38Show him how you're doing on the west side, dog.
00:06:41Show him how you're doing on the west side.
00:06:42Oh, he just got back to the east side, the south side, the north side.
00:06:47His ass ain't going to the west side.
00:06:49Team OG! Team OG! Team OG! Team OG!
00:06:55Back on NXT, Joe Henry, Wes Lee, Trick Williams joining us on commentary.
00:07:00Trick will defend the TNA World title in a triple threat match.
00:07:03Pat TNA Slammiversary on July 20th.
00:07:06And as Hendry took his eye off the ball, Wes Lee made him pay.
00:07:10Thanks to Tyson and Tyreek, who are on the outside dressed for success.
00:07:15It wasn't as though Hendry just opted to take his eye off the ball, Vic.
00:07:18Joe realized that Tyson and Tyreek were creeping up on him.
00:07:20Joe's basically one against three right now.
00:07:23Wes Lee disappeared, didn't he?
00:07:24He just appeared.
00:07:25Oh, he certainly just did.
00:07:26And Trick, you have ruffled some feathers here in NXT, right?
00:07:29Wronger and different.
00:07:30We've seen how some people have looked at you.
00:07:32In your opinion, how has the TNA Lockroom embraced you as their champion?
00:07:37I ain't here to make friends.
00:07:38I'm here to make money.
00:07:39But if you don't like me, that's your problem.
00:07:40Whoa!
00:07:41Beautiful, beautiful.
00:07:41That lettuce is a cover in a near fall.
00:07:44If I ask you a question like that, you know the rule, checks, and championships, man.
00:07:49That's what Trick is all about.
00:07:51He's about making that green, green dollar beat.
00:07:54Let's take another look at what was potentially a huge problem for Joe Hendry.
00:07:58Beautiful athleticism by Wes Lee, but not enough to finish the job just yet.
00:08:03Trick, you gotta like what you're seeing right now.
00:08:05Man, I love that, man.
00:08:06That's just what we talked about.
00:08:07Take care of business, Westside.
00:08:11Had quite the stare down with NXT champion Ova Fendi a few weeks back.
00:08:16Trick Ova will have his eyes on Jasper Troy in Amora tonight.
00:08:19Winner will head to the Great American Bash in Atlanta.
00:08:23Yeah, but a big pump kick from Wesley rocking Joe Hendry.
00:08:27Got Henry right under the jaw.
00:08:29Around we go.
00:08:29Look at this.
00:08:31Oh.
00:08:31Wesley wanted a satellite DDT, but Hendry put on the brakes.
00:08:35Certainly did.
00:08:36Bang!
00:08:36Suplex answering right back.
00:08:39Beautiful there by Joe Hendry.
00:08:41Textbook, baby.
00:08:42Trick, is there any concern on your side that maybe the next time you step in the ring against a Joe Hendry,
00:08:47to be a different competitor, a more hungry Hendry than before?
00:08:50Yeah, look, if I get it once, I'm gonna do it again.
00:08:52He ain't the only one training.
00:08:53I'm working out every single day.
00:08:55I'm in the gym.
00:08:56Well, pivotal point of this matchup.
00:08:58Wesley told you, Trick, last week he would take care of Joe Hendry here tonight.
00:09:03But Hendry, firing back.
00:09:05Trying to keep that moment going.
00:09:07Big clothesline, and Joe Hendry all fired up.
00:09:13Wow.
00:09:16Ooh.
00:09:19Look at all these sheep in the crowd.
00:09:20Look at all these sheep.
00:09:21We always want to please the fans, man.
00:09:23That's his biggest part.
00:09:24That's why he's about 10 pounds riding right now.
00:09:27No championship around his waist.
00:09:29Am I right?
00:09:29Am I right?
00:09:30I hear you, hon.
00:09:31I hear you, hon.
00:09:33Looking for the standing ovation.
00:09:35John hoisting up Lee.
00:09:36Able to counter for him.
00:09:38Oh, and answers back with a ride of his own.
00:09:40Oh, yes.
00:09:41Take that with you.
00:09:42That body shot rocked Hendry.
00:09:44Let's go, Joe!
00:09:46Lee with a weak in Joe Hendry.
00:09:48Hendry now hoisting up Lee.
00:09:51And look at this power.
00:09:52Pulled out some new tricks ahead of Slammiversary.
00:09:56Into the cover.
00:09:57Hook a bone.
00:09:58And go!
00:10:00Woo!
00:10:01Yeah, saved by Tyson and Tyreek with Wesley.
00:10:05Beautiful awareness there by Wesley.
00:10:09Beautiful awareness.
00:10:11What the hell are you watching?
00:10:12You got trifocals.
00:10:13You didn't see that?
00:10:15He got back off of one.
00:10:16He got back off of one.
00:10:17Ray, man.
00:10:17Tyson and Tyreek might be getting a little too close.
00:10:19Wait a minute.
00:10:20It's Mike Santana.
00:10:22Timing up in front of Mike Santana.
00:10:25What the hell is he doing?
00:10:26Santana evening the odds.
00:10:28Swing and a miss by Wesley.
00:10:29And now Joe Hendry giving Lee a standing.
00:10:34Oh, fish it!
00:10:36Oh, hell no.
00:10:37Not like this.
00:10:38Not like this.
00:10:38One, two, three.
00:10:39Come on, man.
00:10:40Here's your winner, Joe Hendry.
00:10:50Trick, you are not a happy individual at this moment.
00:10:54Corey, let's take a look.
00:10:56Closing moments of this match.
00:10:57Tyson and Tyreek would really take Hendry's attention.
00:11:01But luckily, Mike Santana of TNAs would show up and wreck shock.
00:11:06Opening the door for a little power display from Joe Hendry.
00:11:11Making a believer out of Wesley with a standing ovation.
00:11:17And Trick Williams, you better be ready.
00:11:19Because you've got two hungry stars gunning for your goal.
00:11:23William's staring at the two men that are looking to put an end to trick an end.
00:11:34I just don't know why you guys did that.
00:11:35I mean, I'm only trying to do good things and I just, I don't get it.
00:11:38Was I doing something bad?
00:11:39We were just trying to keep you from doing something that you would regret.
00:11:42Which is what good friends do.
00:11:44Because for the hundredth time, you need to keep an eye on her.
00:11:48Izzy is not your fault.
00:11:49What the hell was that?
00:11:51This is not exactly what we're talking about.
00:11:52Why did you two get involved in my match when Tatum was trying to help me?
00:11:57What are you talking about?
00:11:59Tatum, look, I know you didn't mean to cost me the match.
00:12:02And I know your intentions were pure.
00:12:04And just please believe that I know you did not try to hurt me in any way.
00:12:09And I may have lost the match, but I feel like I won your friendship.
00:12:14I mean, at least I hope I did.
00:12:15You know what?
00:12:16I'm sick of this.
00:12:17Tatum, if you want to fall for her act, then go right ahead.
00:12:23Clearly, Zaruka is already a team.
00:12:26And I don't know about you, but I feel like we'd make a great one, too.
00:12:28I think she's right.
00:12:39Well, Sol and Zarya have tried to help Tatum, but she didn't want to listen.
00:12:44Tag team action is still to come here tonight.
00:12:47And the question has been, can you trust this man?
00:12:53That is what Tony Dean needs to answer.
00:12:56We will hear from Luca Crucifino next.
00:13:05Combo and individual event tickets for SummerSlam.
00:13:08And here comes a man who has some explaining to do.
00:13:38Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Luca Crucifino.
00:13:49Booker, can you trust this man?
00:13:52Honestly, can you trust Luca?
00:13:54I can tell you this.
00:13:57Crucifino's actions has been untrustworthy.
00:14:01I can say that.
00:14:02I think this guy's a fly in the ointment.
00:14:04I think this guy belongs chasing ambulances, not here at NXT.
00:14:08Tony D'Angelo has been questioning my loyalty since Stand and Deliver.
00:14:14And after last week, I want to put this to bed.
00:14:17I want to put this to rest.
00:14:18So, Tony, please come out here.
00:14:24Well, that's a mighty bold move.
00:14:28Oh, everybody, look at this.
00:14:37My consigliere is calling me out here.
00:14:41Oh, the tables have turned, Luca.
00:14:53Tony, you seem to think that everyone's against you.
00:14:56Oh, no, you're right.
00:14:58You're not out to get me.
00:14:59At least that's not what the last month has said.
00:15:02See, last week, you screwed me in my Heritage Cup match and served it on a platter for stacks.
00:15:08And then you punched me in the face.
00:15:12Listen, as I recall correctly, you're the one who hit me in the face first.
00:15:20Tony, I gave you the respect to listen to you.
00:15:23Now you're going to listen to me.
00:15:25You want to talk about loyalty?
00:15:30Fine.
00:15:31Let's talk about loyalty.
00:15:34Loyalty is me leaving college with one year of eligibility at Duquesne University for a family because you asked me to.
00:15:44Loyalty is me turning down job offers from top law firms in the country without hesitation for a job that I've wanted since I was a child.
00:15:51I've turned down and given up everything that I've done up to this point for a chance.
00:15:57Tony, for a chance to be in the WWE.
00:16:01And you know, you know, without a doubt that I have never done a damn thing to doubt you, Tony.
00:16:08Never.
00:16:09And you know what that is?
00:16:12That's loyalty.
00:16:13Loyalty.
00:16:14Luca, Luca, I got to say, I wouldn't be standing here, your Heritage Cup champion, if it wasn't for you.
00:16:32So thank you, man.
00:16:34Luca, listen to me.
00:16:35This is exactly what I'm talking about.
00:16:38This stuff right here.
00:16:39Hey, Luca.
00:16:40Shut the hell up.
00:16:41You're not part of this family.
00:16:43This is between me and Tony.
00:16:47Hey, Stacks.
00:16:49This is between me and my consi...
00:16:51Oh!
00:16:54Oh, my God.
00:16:59How do you like that, huh?
00:17:00How do you like that, punk?
00:17:02That's what you got.
00:17:03Me and this guy are taking over.
00:17:04Me and this guy.
00:17:05My loyalty lies with Luca Crucifino.
00:17:15Talk about a turn of events.
00:17:19Guys, we're left with more questions than answers.
00:17:24Here on NXT.
00:17:25Obafemi, later tonight, we see Yoshiki Inomora battle Jasper Troy for the opportunity to challenge you at the Great American Bash for your NXT championship.
00:17:38So do you have any predictions or preference on who you face?
00:17:41Well, I can see why the WWE Universe has warmed up to Yoshiki Inomora in such a short amount of time.
00:17:46I just want to see if he has the grit and the tenacity to get past Jasper Troy, because Jasper is very hungry.
00:17:53And you might think that as a champion, I just want to see them destroy each other so that the challenge can be easy at the Great American Bash.
00:17:59But no, no, no, no, no.
00:18:00That's not it.
00:18:01I want to see...
00:18:04Obafemi, tonight, I show you grit.
00:18:08I show you tenacity.
00:18:10I'm hungry for the biggest test.
00:18:17Josh, why don't you tell your boy to be ready?
00:18:20Because I missed all the chaos here on NXT, championships changing hands.
00:18:25There's one constant, and that is Obafemi.
00:18:29Remind yourself, I am not the hunted.
00:18:31I am the hunter.
00:18:33And the bigger name I put down, the more prestigious my reign becomes.
00:18:37So, I'll be seeing the winner very soon.
00:18:40You won't be waiting long.
00:18:45See you at the bash.
00:18:53My way, my life.
00:19:00Massive matchup still to come.
00:19:10The following podcast is scheduled for one fall.
00:19:14Introducing first, from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, Lexus King!
00:19:22This man did a lot of talking last week to his opponent here tonight.
00:19:28The question is, can Lexus King back it up?
00:19:33King goes one-on-one with Miles Bourne next.
00:19:37And NXT on the CW is presented by Progressive.
00:19:45Save a new bundle, auto, home, and motorcycle insurance.
00:19:49Visit Progressive.com.
00:19:51And there is Lexus King, who last week tried to make a mockery out of the University of Florida
00:19:58and the Florida Gators there.
00:20:00Tyreek Sapp, George Gumbs Jr., they are here live tonight with the best seat in the house
00:20:05to see their boy take on Lexus King.
00:20:07And his opponent, from Wilmington, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, Miles Bourne!
00:20:30Bourne's certainly not alone tonight, has the Florida Gators here with him.
00:20:34But Graves, these two, they're different kinds of lone wolves, wouldn't you say?
00:20:39And I'm asking you that because Lexus King last week said there was a lot of similarities.
00:20:43They had a lone wolf mentality.
00:20:45Some would say these are two completely different individuals.
00:20:48Some would say that Lexus King doesn't exactly have both boards in the water.
00:20:52What I'm curious to see tonight is what Miles Bourne truly is capable of going forward
00:20:56since freeing himself of no quarter catch group.
00:20:59We've seen flashes of greatness from Miles Bourne, but can he sustain it?
00:21:03This is a big test for Bourne.
00:21:04And Booker, I'll come to you with the same thing.
00:21:06I mean, you've been a big fan of Lexus King.
00:21:08Do you see any similarities to what King was saying one week ago?
00:21:12I really can't say, but I can't say this is camera, man.
00:21:15Zoom in on the abs, man.
00:21:17Lexus King, the star of all television, is looking good.
00:21:21I don't think anybody wants to see any of that.
00:21:23Bourne had people around him.
00:21:25King, though, has always been alone, possibly because nobody wants to be around Lexus King.
00:21:30Come on, let's just eat.
00:21:31You've got to give this guy a lot of credit.
00:21:33I mean, I've been hearing you.
00:21:34And in my opinion, what is best right now?
00:21:37Who's holding his own?
00:21:38Look, you smile, boy.
00:21:39Somebody let me just step up.
00:21:40Flip it back.
00:21:41Take me.
00:21:42Oh, my God.
00:21:43Can you teach that at your stage?
00:21:44Yes, man.
00:21:45Step over the back.
00:21:46Step over the back.
00:21:47Classic Booker 2 strategy.
00:21:50This matchup continuing.
00:21:51Graves, did you see Byron Saxon sneaking around here all day today?
00:21:54Trying to get the football signed by the Florida Gators?
00:21:57The less we have to say about Byron Saxon, the better.
00:21:59Here's a Gator role being executed.
00:22:00Oh, I don't like that.
00:22:02Miles Warren, he should add this to your repertoire, book.
00:22:04I don't like that.
00:22:05I don't like that at all.
00:22:06My thing is, Miles Moran, this guy's got a lot of talent.
00:22:09But I was wondering, was it a mistake?
00:22:11Stepping away from me at QCC?
00:22:12Certainly right now, it doesn't look to be that way.
00:22:14Tick the cap there to Safford Cummings Jr. here, front row.
00:22:17Got everybody in the NXT universe doing the Florida Gator chomp
00:22:20when half the people here haven't graduated high school.
00:22:22I'll let you defend that later on on social media.
00:22:25Oh, and right now, big right hand from Bourne.
00:22:29Oh, my God.
00:22:31Drop it.
00:22:31You see that?
00:22:32You see that?
00:22:33Very impressive athleticism.
00:22:35You're damn right.
00:22:36Lexus King.
00:22:37What is it, you call him, book?
00:22:38The star of all television?
00:22:39The star of all television, man.
00:22:40I'm talking about all over the world.
00:22:42This guy, look at the show.
00:22:43Look at the show.
00:22:44This guy, you can tell he's been working on his body.
00:22:47And right now, he's working over Miles Bourne.
00:22:49I see the jawline.
00:22:50I'll see the paint on his face, too.
00:22:52He's now looking for maybe a super blast.
00:22:56A god man.
00:22:57Floating right over into the cover.
00:22:59Hook of the leg.
00:23:00And a kick out by Miles Bourne.
00:23:01Come on.
00:23:01Can we please give Lexus King a little bit of credit?
00:23:04All right.
00:23:04Well, let me take this for you.
00:23:05You want to get a credit?
00:23:05Here's your chance to do it.
00:23:07Is Lexus King in position to be giving someone like the University of Florida Gators or even
00:23:11Miles Bourne advice?
00:23:13If it's a guy that went to the point that this guy had winning the Heritage Cup championship,
00:23:18and right now, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
00:23:20Yes, I would be taking advice from him.
00:23:22Yes, I would.
00:23:23King charging in.
00:23:24Oh, big knife-edge.
00:23:27Certainly, though, Graves, is a different side of Lexus King than we've seen in the past.
00:23:32What was me going to do?
00:23:33Come here.
00:23:34I'm trying, but neither of you are answering my questions because you're over-talking to
00:23:37him.
00:23:37He's sitting over here trying to answer.
00:23:39You love the guy.
00:23:40We know.
00:23:40I got this.
00:23:41Let's take another look at the tremendous athleticism and precision from the star of
00:23:46all television, Lexus King.
00:23:47How am I doing?
00:23:48Not you, too.
00:23:49I'll add to that.
00:23:50He seems a tactician.
00:23:51That's what he is right now because he's...
00:23:53Say that five times in a row.
00:23:56Lexus King.
00:23:57Oh.
00:23:58He just went up top, and now they're just starting to turn into a slugfest.
00:24:01These two just do not like the show.
00:24:03Sometimes it's what it takes, though.
00:24:04Oh, no.
00:24:05Just let it get ugly.
00:24:06Start throwing hands.
00:24:07Throw some illegal blows there, too, by Miles Boyd.
00:24:09And...
00:24:10Let it go.
00:24:11Oh, baby.
00:24:13I like that.
00:24:14You like it.
00:24:15You like it.
00:24:15You like it.
00:24:17I'm mostly impressed by the fact Lexus King trims his facial hair with an Etch-a-Sketch,
00:24:21but we'll get to that later.
00:24:22And now King trying to fire back big right hand, and that slap, Braves, may have waken
00:24:28up Miles Boyd.
00:24:29No doubt about it.
00:24:30King in all types of trouble right now.
00:24:33I was going to say, this is the same Miles Boyd who took Obafemi, the NXT champion,
00:24:37to the limit not long ago.
00:24:39It's still to come.
00:24:40Jasper Troy, Inamoro, winner will face Obafemi for the NXT title at the Great American Bash.
00:24:46Nice counter, though, by King for a moment.
00:24:49King looking for a kick.
00:24:50Got caught.
00:24:51Bourne now.
00:24:52They'd be waiting for that Olympic slam.
00:24:55High angle, drop, center of the ring.
00:24:57Hook to the leg for the victory in an earpaw.
00:24:59It's not going to be enough.
00:25:00You can't stop Lexus King that easy, man.
00:25:03Say something nice about Miles Boyd.
00:25:04How can Miles flourish on his own?
00:25:07No, no, I said that.
00:25:08I said that.
00:25:08I'm looking King going to the eyes.
00:25:10Miles Boyd, he's in a perfect position to step out on his own.
00:25:12But like I say, leaving the NXT, that could have been a mistake.
00:25:16Sometimes you need pals.
00:25:17Sometimes you need buddies in this business.
00:25:19You're going to be looking for the coronation.
00:25:20That's funny because you always tell me it's not about friends and championships.
00:25:23I said pals, buddies.
00:25:24Oh, ho, ho.
00:25:25Big drop.
00:25:26Kick, though, from Miles Boyd under the jaw.
00:25:29King is rock.
00:25:31Gators are chomping.
00:25:32Bourne is focused.
00:25:33And bam, dropping Lexus King center of the ring.
00:25:39And Bourne proves he didn't need the advice.
00:25:44Here is your winner, Miles Bourne.
00:25:49What a win for Miles Bourne, who continues to build momentum in NXT,
00:25:56celebrating with his friends at the Florida Gators.
00:25:59Let's go.
00:26:00Let's take a look.
00:26:01And the next level, athleticism of Miles Bourne.
00:26:06Drop kick right on the money.
00:26:08Boom.
00:26:08Followed up by something of a zigzag.
00:26:11Taking down the star of all television.
00:26:14Big win for Miles Bourne.
00:26:17And Miles ready to prove that hard work indeed pays off in NXT.
00:26:22Let's go.
00:26:24NXT's been nothing but chaos since Dark State popped out.
00:26:32We got an NXT superstar as TNA champ.
00:26:34Now we got a Noah wrestler gunning for the NXT title.
00:26:37Man, Hank and Tank get dropped.
00:26:38Everybody want to put their finger at it.
00:26:40Man, all I'm saying is everything that's going on around here,
00:26:43because Dark State allows it.
00:26:44Yeah, we see everything.
00:26:46It's our playground.
00:26:48And chaos is our game.
00:26:49Yeah, so y'all might as well get used to it.
00:26:51Go ahead and get comfortable.
00:26:53Because if we catch y'all lagging,
00:26:55there ain't no saving you, bruh.
00:26:57Because we can slide anywhere,
00:26:59anyplace,
00:27:00anytime.
00:27:01Hey, bruh.
00:27:02Matter of fact,
00:27:03I think I know where we finna go next.
00:27:06But y'all don't.
00:27:07I'm a grown-ass woman.
00:27:23The following cop has this schedule for one fall.
00:27:28Introducing that line from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
00:27:31the Hale.
00:27:34Seems to be a little extra fired up tonight, Graves.
00:27:37Is that even possible?
00:27:39This woman has boundless energy.
00:27:41I suggest yoga,
00:27:43maybe some breath work.
00:27:44Oh, B.A. Hale getting ready to take on Lainey Reed next.
00:27:52Welcome back to NXT.
00:28:00And her opponent,
00:28:01from Gatsby, Alabama,
00:28:03Lainey Reed.
00:28:06As Booker fans himself to cool himself down,
00:28:09Graves,
00:28:09how impressed with Reed were you
00:28:12after she stood toe-to-toe
00:28:14with the NXT Women's Champion,
00:28:16JC Jane?
00:28:16It's a fantastic way to introduce yourself
00:28:18to the NXT universe,
00:28:20as Lainey Reed did.
00:28:21The trouble is,
00:28:22she claimed that she was going to be the one
00:28:24to beat JC Jane,
00:28:25and one's unable to do so.
00:28:26Tonight is of the utmost importance
00:28:28to show the rest of the world
00:28:29who Lainey Reed truly is.
00:28:31Lainey's looking to become the biggest,
00:28:33the largest,
00:28:34here in NXT,
00:28:35man.
00:28:36Oh, yes!
00:28:37I'll ask you to elaborate on that,
00:28:39but the bell is about to ring,
00:28:40and we're about to get underway
00:28:41between these two.
00:28:43And on the topic of Jane,
00:28:44she faces Jordan Grace,
00:28:46WWE Evolution,
00:28:47for the NXT Women's Championship
00:28:48in Atlanta,
00:28:49July 13th,
00:28:50right after
00:28:51the Great American Bash.
00:28:53Kia Hale, Graves,
00:28:55is there a part of you
00:28:56that thinks Thea got the short end
00:28:57of the stick?
00:28:58Remember,
00:28:58she did tap out Jada Parker.
00:29:01Listen,
00:29:01I understand the frustration
00:29:03of Thea Hale,
00:29:04who right now is just unloading
00:29:05its speed.
00:29:06Appears as though Thea has had enough.
00:29:08Whoa.
00:29:09Maybe she's tired of being overlooked,
00:29:10and you're right,
00:29:11Jada Parker,
00:29:12let's call it what it is,
00:29:13out-strategized,
00:29:14out-smarted Thea,
00:29:15but right now,
00:29:15Thea on a mission
00:29:16into the cover,
00:29:16hooked the leg.
00:29:18Oh, Booker,
00:29:19if you go back to what Graves
00:29:19is talking about,
00:29:20is that sort of a wake-up call
00:29:22of sorts
00:29:23for someone like Thea Hale?
00:29:24I mean,
00:29:24I think it is,
00:29:24because,
00:29:26I mean,
00:29:27right now,
00:29:27Thea Hale,
00:29:28I mean,
00:29:28she's her worst enemy.
00:29:29Right now,
00:29:29she had that next one
00:29:30against Jada Parker,
00:29:32but you cannot let this bitch
00:29:34just give away.
00:29:35Right there,
00:29:35the referee didn't do his job.
00:29:37He didn't break the hole.
00:29:38She let the hole go.
00:29:39That was a mistake,
00:29:40a big mistake.
00:29:41She's trying to get over
00:29:42the events of that
00:29:43Evolution Eliminator
00:29:44and trying to cover it,
00:29:45but instead got dropped
00:29:46base first by Reed.
00:29:48Reed followed
00:29:48the tournament.
00:29:49I see something,
00:29:50Eleni Reed.
00:29:51She's got that hit factor.
00:29:52She's looking at
00:29:53this big,
00:29:54big star here,
00:29:55and then he's looking at
00:29:56that boom,
00:29:57I love it,
00:29:58man.
00:29:58Southern sensation
00:29:59certainly turning heads
00:30:01very quickly
00:30:02here in NXT.
00:30:03You see that?
00:30:04You see that deep,
00:30:05that boot right to the snout?
00:30:07I love it,
00:30:08man.
00:30:08The greatest snout
00:30:09on the side of your head.
00:30:10They're in the ear,
00:30:12Book.
00:30:13He's just excited right now.
00:30:14I can tell.
00:30:14Stop reaching.
00:30:16Lainey's got you feeling
00:30:17some kind of way, Book.
00:30:18I get it.
00:30:18I told you he was fanning
00:30:19himself when we started
00:30:20the thing.
00:30:20Graves,
00:30:20how deep is the NXT
00:30:22women's division
00:30:23when you truly look at it
00:30:24all joke in the side?
00:30:24I mean,
00:30:25I don't think I can
00:30:26state it adequately enough.
00:30:28I mean,
00:30:28every time one star
00:30:29goes to Raw or SmackDown,
00:30:30you've got,
00:30:30it seems like three more
00:30:32pop up.
00:30:33It's a great problem to have.
00:30:34It's a deep women's division
00:30:35and it continues to evolve.
00:30:37Lainey Reed now
00:30:38taking her time.
00:30:40And last week,
00:30:40Booker,
00:30:41it was Reed who said,
00:30:42Thea gets played
00:30:43like a fiddle.
00:30:44I'm sure you agree.
00:30:46Not only that,
00:30:46Lainey Reed,
00:30:47she stepped in
00:30:47right off the rip.
00:30:49Call out, baby.
00:30:50Call out to the champ.
00:30:51And my thing is this,
00:30:52is this a UFC?
00:30:53Is this a UFC?
00:30:54They call us.
00:30:55I love it, man.
00:30:56That's what Lainey Reed
00:30:57is all about.
00:30:58Well,
00:30:59when we take a look
00:30:59a little bit deeper
00:31:00at Lainey Reed
00:31:00and some of the comments
00:31:01she's made with call outs
00:31:02to Booker's point,
00:31:03Gravy,
00:31:04is Reed right
00:31:05with the things
00:31:06she has said
00:31:06about Thea Hale
00:31:07specifically that
00:31:08she hasn't changed
00:31:09one bit
00:31:10since we've been chasing you?
00:31:11Take a look at this.
00:31:12Powerful.
00:31:13Wow.
00:31:14Shoulder breaker
00:31:15executed excellently
00:31:17into a cover
00:31:18hook of the leg
00:31:18and somehow
00:31:19Thea able to kick out.
00:31:21Back to your question, Vic.
00:31:22I sort of have to agree
00:31:23with Lainey Reed
00:31:24but I do want to take
00:31:25another look at this.
00:31:26Double eye.
00:31:27Shoulder breaker.
00:31:28That could have ended it.
00:31:29Credit to Thea Hale
00:31:30for surviving.
00:31:31But I agree.
00:31:32I've said something similar.
00:31:33Thea Hale wanted so bad
00:31:34to be, as she put it,
00:31:35a grown-ass woman
00:31:36to stand on her own two feet
00:31:38and really nothing
00:31:39has changed about her strategy
00:31:40or her approach
00:31:41to the ring.
00:31:42Thea Hale last week
00:31:44also
00:31:44admitted that adulting
00:31:48is hard.
00:31:48The locker room
00:31:49is mean
00:31:49as she's trying
00:31:50to get back
00:31:51into this matchup.
00:31:51Who said that?
00:31:52Thea Hale said that.
00:31:53A grown woman said that?
00:31:55Yes.
00:31:55I've just given up.
00:31:56It's a selfish business, man.
00:31:57You're going to be thinking
00:31:58about eight number one
00:31:59right now.
00:32:00Thea Hale is doing that
00:32:01in this matchup
00:32:02but can she continue
00:32:03to do that?
00:32:04That's the mindset.
00:32:05Stay focused, Thea.
00:32:06Stay focused.
00:32:07And Thea charging right in
00:32:08and trying to turn
00:32:09this matchup around
00:32:10into the cover.
00:32:11Another hook to the leg.
00:32:12And a kick out
00:32:13by Laney Reed
00:32:14getting that inside
00:32:15shoulder up.
00:32:16Listen, in my opinion,
00:32:17I think Thea needs
00:32:18to take what she has
00:32:19which is a seemingly
00:32:20endless amount of energy.
00:32:22She's frenetic.
00:32:22She's frantic.
00:32:23If she can channel it,
00:32:24if she can focus it,
00:32:25use it in bursts,
00:32:26in spurts,
00:32:27rather than just
00:32:28non-stop chaos,
00:32:29it might serve Thea
00:32:30well in the future.
00:32:31All right now,
00:32:32Laney Reed again
00:32:33looking for some
00:32:34high-impact offense
00:32:35counter by Thea Hale.
00:32:36Hale charging right back in.
00:32:37We've seen this in the past.
00:32:38We'll be trying to
00:32:39lock in that Kimura.
00:32:41It's a smart strategy
00:32:42by Laney though.
00:32:43Oh, taking the feet out
00:32:44into the cover.
00:32:45Big ref, ref!
00:32:47And then it's
00:32:47nice job by our official.
00:32:49Thea Hale
00:32:50got caught the last time
00:32:52that was smart.
00:32:53And right from behind
00:32:54Thea Hale this time
00:32:55rolling up center of the ring
00:32:56and boom.
00:32:58Good job by our
00:32:59officiating crew
00:33:00here tonight.
00:33:02That's it.
00:33:03That's it.
00:33:04Word.
00:33:05But hey, hey, hey.
00:33:08What the?
00:33:09A huge goal winner
00:33:10Laney Reed.
00:33:13You were so eager
00:33:13to tattle last time.
00:33:15Why don't you get
00:33:15our officials' attention?
00:33:17Got to admit,
00:33:18it not only was
00:33:19Reed holding the ropes,
00:33:21it appeared.
00:33:21Thea had her hand.
00:33:23This is a shocking upset.
00:33:24Look at the sticks, man.
00:33:25You know that.
00:33:29The guy with the damn
00:33:29turnbuckle.
00:33:30They bring everything.
00:33:31That's why they say
00:33:31that boy is bouncing.
00:33:33I know he's really
00:33:33bouncing.
00:33:34We know he's bouncing.
00:33:35But Tavion,
00:33:35you were so close
00:33:36to beating Javon
00:33:37last week.
00:33:37And selfishly,
00:33:38I'm glad you're
00:33:39still in the group.
00:33:40Yeah, well imagine
00:33:40having a face mask
00:33:41on the whole time.
00:33:42You know, Tavion,
00:33:43what Jasper ended up
00:33:44doing to Javon
00:33:45wasn't that what
00:33:46you were meant
00:33:46to do to him.
00:33:48And you didn't.
00:33:49And look what happened.
00:33:50You lost.
00:33:51Which just proves
00:33:51my point that you
00:33:52still need more time
00:33:53in the NQCC.
00:33:55Does it, Charlie?
00:33:56Yes, it does.
00:33:56Look, I'm not making
00:33:57no excuses, all right?
00:33:58I lost.
00:33:58Cool.
00:33:59But you know what?
00:34:00I want the exact deal
00:34:01you offered, Miles.
00:34:02A one-on-one match
00:34:03against you.
00:34:04And if I win,
00:34:04I'm out, dog.
00:34:06I don't think
00:34:07you want to do that, Tavion.
00:34:08That's going to be
00:34:08two losses in a row
00:34:09for you.
00:34:10No, I mean,
00:34:10I think he does.
00:34:11That is what you just said.
00:34:12Thank you very much, Ram.
00:34:12I can hear you.
00:34:13You're right next to me.
00:34:15Look, Tavion,
00:34:16you really want
00:34:17that match so bad?
00:34:18Fine.
00:34:18But here's the thing.
00:34:19When I win,
00:34:20this conversation
00:34:21we're having,
00:34:22it's not happening again.
00:34:23That's also fair.
00:34:28It's a good deal.
00:34:43The following contest
00:35:02is a tag team match
00:35:04scheduled for one fall.
00:35:07Introducing first,
00:35:08the team of
00:35:09Saria
00:35:10and the NXT
00:35:12women's
00:35:13North American
00:35:14champion
00:35:14Sol
00:35:16Ruka.
00:35:19We can call it
00:35:21any way we want to.
00:35:22This duo
00:35:23took matters
00:35:24into their own hands
00:35:25to try and
00:35:27help
00:35:27Tatum
00:35:28last week.
00:35:29Paxley prefers,
00:35:30though,
00:35:31her new friend
00:35:32for an attack team match
00:35:34between all four
00:35:35of these women
00:35:35next on NXT.
00:35:36The NXT locker room
00:35:43lives in fear
00:35:43of Oba Femi.
00:35:45He's dominant.
00:35:46He's invincible.
00:35:48He's a titan.
00:35:49But did he look that way
00:35:50when he was in the ring
00:35:51with me?
00:35:52The NXT champion
00:35:53barely survived.
00:35:55And now I'm only
00:35:56one match away
00:35:57from the rematch
00:35:58that I want.
00:35:59And I know Oba,
00:36:00he rooting for Inamora
00:36:01because he knows
00:36:03what's waiting
00:36:03at the bash
00:36:04if I get my hand
00:36:05raised tonight.
00:36:06Inamora,
00:36:08I'm going through you.
00:36:09In Oba Femi,
00:36:10you may be backed
00:36:11by destiny,
00:36:12but your destiny
00:36:13is mine.
00:36:15Truth
00:36:16will ultimately prevail.
00:36:19But there's pain
00:36:20bringing it to light.
00:36:22And the reporters, the team are Tatum Paxson, and the coolant, Izzy Dane!
00:36:48Look, I'm not one for conspiracies, but all signs are pointing to the culling, taking out the NXT Tag Team Champions, Hank and Tank, last week.
00:37:00But we also saw Tatum Paxson get carried away by Zal Ruka last weekend to try and help Tatum Paxson.
00:37:08So Graves, I toss it to you. Who do you think is more trustworthy?
00:37:12Izzy Dane or Sol Ruka?
00:37:15I don't know if trustworthy is the word that I would use, but let's talk about the culling.
00:37:20Let's be honest. They prey on the weak and the broken.
00:37:23That's where Tatum Paxson is. That's where she belongs.
00:37:26And while we're at it, to be perfectly honest, I don't know if I trust anything about Zarya.
00:37:33To me, she's just riding the coattails of Sol Ruka.
00:37:36And for some reason, she's trying to convince Sol that they're best friends.
00:37:40But trust me, trust me, mark my words, somewhere down the line, we're going to be talking about how did we see this coming?
00:37:46Zarya is going to stick it to Sol Ruka.
00:37:48You ever have a conversation with Zarya?
00:37:50Nope.
00:37:51Well, where are you jumping to conclude?
00:37:53Whoa, wait a minute.
00:37:58Zarya is on.
00:37:58Izzy coming in, sticking up for her, well, I guess her friend.
00:38:02However you want to call it, but there's some of that teamwork there, Graves, from Zarya.
00:38:06I never said they weren't an effective team.
00:38:08I just said you couldn't trust her.
00:38:10Well, they got a very strong bond and stronger, don't you think, though, since Sol's win over the, for the women's North American title?
00:38:16Or do you think it's because Zarya has eyes on that championship?
00:38:19Yeah.
00:38:20Let's take another look at this exchange right here, this fantastic teamwork, as it was.
00:38:25But you're 100% right, Vic.
00:38:27Keep your friends close.
00:38:29Keep your enemies closer.
00:38:30Zarya looks at that North American championship some kind of way.
00:38:34You ain't lied.
00:38:35There's a method to the madness, man, with Zarya.
00:38:39I feel the same way, man.
00:38:40You can't trust her.
00:38:41DTA.
00:38:42Great minds.
00:38:43Great minds.
00:38:44Still to come, we will hear from the number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship, Jordan Grace.
00:38:49Grace Jane, WWE Evolution Week from Sunday in Atlanta.
00:38:53How is this for teamwork from a first-time team?
00:38:56Tatum Paxley and Izzy Dame working extremely well together.
00:39:00And that is also hard to argue, Izzy Dame.
00:39:02Bringing, of sorts, some dowels to Tatum Paxley last week.
00:39:08It's a peace offering, Vic.
00:39:09It's like when you hand out candy to the people around ringside, so they cheer for you.
00:39:13That's 100% why I do it.
00:39:15Is Izzy Dame still in control of this matchup tagging right back in?
00:39:19Tatum Paxley, as I was mentioning, the NXT Women's Championship to be defended at Evolution.
00:39:23First Evolution in seven years.
00:39:25The champion the last time, as floating over is the champion, into a kickout.
00:39:30The champion was Kairi Sane.
00:39:32She did not leave Evolution NXT Women's Champion on that night.
00:39:35We will find out if J.C. Jain can leave champion coming up in Atlanta.
00:39:40But Sol Ruka in control now of Tatum Paxley.
00:39:43Got to wonder what Sol, what Zarya's thinking in this match.
00:39:47They don't want to hurt Tatum Paxley.
00:39:48They're trying to help Tatum Paxley.
00:39:51Tatum Paxley's looking for a friend, and I think she's found one in Izzy Dame.
00:39:55Izzy Dame has just found somebody that she can use at the end of the day.
00:39:59So everybody get what they want.
00:40:01I like it.
00:40:02I like the agreement.
00:40:03But Paxley is able to kick out of it.
00:40:05Booker, though, why would Tatum choose evil over good?
00:40:10You know, I wouldn't say it's evil.
00:40:12Good and evil are totally subjective.
00:40:14What do you mean?
00:40:14I don't think that's what it is.
00:40:15You're telling she has great intentions, Izzy Dame?
00:40:17Someone who tore the family apart?
00:40:20Someone who was able to manipulate a situation against Sean Spears,
00:40:24the North American Championship, several months ago?
00:40:26I see a woman who lent a helping hand, as you so eloquently put it,
00:40:30to someone who was down on her luck.
00:40:32Someone who needed a little help, a little motivation.
00:40:34Izzy Dame into the cover, hooks the leg.
00:40:37And above all else, I think Izzy Dame understands what this game is all about.
00:40:41Booker, can you help me out?
00:40:42I mean, you put that great.
00:40:44I mean, that was a great soliloquy that you just put out right there.
00:40:48Can you spell soliloquy?
00:40:49He used it properly, he's like, doesn't matter.
00:40:52Graves is good.
00:40:53Graves can sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves.
00:40:56Ketchup popsicle.
00:40:58And now, big right hand from Sol, firing right back on Izzy,
00:41:03who fires back in her own right.
00:41:05And it's almost as if these, oh, these women are fighting over Tata Paxley,
00:41:10who just made a tag.
00:41:11I don't think somebody will realize.
00:41:12No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:41:13They're trying to fight the saber.
00:41:14They're trying to help her.
00:41:15Oh, beautiful.
00:41:16Tata Paxley.
00:41:17And a kick out.
00:41:19Listen, you know what?
00:41:20Sol Ruka needs to be concerned about the North American Championship.
00:41:23You know what Zara needs to be concerned about?
00:41:25How to take the North American Championship
00:41:27or how to put herself in the NXT women's title picture.
00:41:29Boom.
00:41:30Crossbody, a thing of beauty from Tatum Paxley,
00:41:33who is wildly talented in the small instances when she gets her head right.
00:41:37Well, as we also focus in on this, too, Booker,
00:41:40regardless of personal feelings,
00:41:42as she just was tagged out of the matchup,
00:41:45Izzy Dame has certainly dominated the field since joining the club.
00:41:48Izzy Dame, I will call her the leader.
00:41:51She's been making all the power plays.
00:41:54If she can get a win tonight, definitely,
00:41:57definitely that would be a big, big, big, big, big check mark.
00:42:00Let's just say that.
00:42:01X marks the spot.
00:42:02Dame to the outside.
00:42:03Tatum getting hoisted up.
00:42:04Oh, baby.
00:42:05I don't like this.
00:42:07So boy.
00:42:08So boy.
00:42:09So boy.
00:42:10One more time.
00:42:11So boy.
00:42:12Time to chime right down on Izzy Dame.
00:42:15And now look at the power of Zarya.
00:42:17Just tossing out Tatum onto Izzy.
00:42:21Zaruca standing tall here on NXT.
00:42:25Don't say that again, bro.
00:42:32Zarya, Zaruca been in control up until this moment.
00:42:36And oh, Tatum, Paxley, Izzy Dame making their presence known, making it felt as Spears,
00:42:43Nico Vance on the outside cheering on Tatum.
00:42:46Booker, what do you think the rest of the culling thinks of Tatum?
00:42:49I think they're thinking she's the right person for the job.
00:42:52Tatum, Paxley could be the newest member of the culling, especially like I say, we get a victory tonight.
00:42:58But everything's lovely, man.
00:43:00Spears, Vancey, insurance policy on the outside.
00:43:03Zarya able to get out of the way for a moment.
00:43:05Trying to showcase that power.
00:43:07Nice counter by Tatum.
00:43:08And Tatum with a nice drop.
00:43:10Wow.
00:43:11Think about what the addition of Tatum, Paxley could mean for the culling.
00:43:14We see them grow stronger.
00:43:16They're switching pieces in and out to maximize their effectiveness.
00:43:19Look at this.
00:43:20This is tremendous teamwork.
00:43:22Beautiful teamwork.
00:43:22Izzy and Tatum.
00:43:23So you agree with what Booker said, that the culling has only gotten stronger in recent weeks.
00:43:30Short arm, clothesline, hook of the leg, and an ear fall.
00:43:33When you find a way to appeal to the broken, to the weakened, and you can unite them,
00:43:38and you can use the things that broke them to strengthen them,
00:43:41you are creating a very, very dangerous group of human beings.
00:43:44Beautiful teamwork.
00:43:46We're not playing Scrabble here, Booker.
00:43:47You don't get more points for using it twice.
00:43:49Izzy gifted some dollars to Tatum.
00:43:51What is it?
00:43:52To your point, that's all it takes, putting Tatum's heart back together.
00:43:56Well, that's what I was trying to get.
00:43:57It was symbolic.
00:43:57Oh!
00:43:58Oh, big shot.
00:43:59It was symbolic.
00:44:00That was symbolic, too.
00:44:01I'd be like if I bought you a tube of your favorite, honey, because we didn't have a great show.
00:44:04Look at Tatum, Paxley.
00:44:06Oh, baby!
00:44:07Oh, baby!
00:44:08Two to the half.
00:44:09Hook of the leg.
00:44:10Will it be enough?
00:44:11And an ear fall.
00:44:13Beautiful somers on leg drop.
00:44:15For Tatum, Paxley, partners, friends have left her in the past.
00:44:19Some unexpected.
00:44:21Maybe.
00:44:21I'll look at it the other way.
00:44:23Maybe, just maybe, she found a true friend, Booker, in Izzy Davis.
00:44:27Let me tell you right now.
00:44:28Tatum Paxley has a lot of talent.
00:44:30I think that Cully can really, truly hold in on that talent and get the best of Tatum Paxley out of the middle of that ring.
00:44:37That's the way I'm doing it.
00:44:38You got a lot of experience.
00:44:39Think of the value inside the mind of Sean Spears.
00:44:43This is a man who's been there, done that, around the world, tasted the success, sulked in failure.
00:44:48Hook of the leg.
00:44:49Off the Instagram.
00:44:50Spears is a wealth of knowledge, and when you take these people, again, who, for all intents and purposes, are in a dark spot in their life, Spears has figured out how to maybe manipulate is the right word, but build them back up.
00:45:04You know what I call him, right?
00:45:05The GPS.
00:45:06Just put in the information.
00:45:08Just log in your coordination, and he will get you there.
00:45:12Yes, baby.
00:45:12Oh, yes.
00:45:14Coordinates.
00:45:14That's what I meant to say.
00:45:15Who the hell uses a GPS?
00:45:17You use maps now these days.
00:45:18I got a GPS.
00:45:19You got a Tom Tom in your car?
00:45:20I got Waze.
00:45:21Oh!
00:45:22Yes.
00:45:23Well, right now, Tatum Paxley finding ways to continue this matchup and for the Cully.
00:45:28A tag was made.
00:45:29Izzy Dame back in, and this Tandem.
00:45:31Oh!
00:45:32Wow.
00:45:33Sorry, I got the knees up just in time.
00:45:35Oh, tag, and here comes a women's North American champion, who's finding her own ways to turn the tables in this matchup.
00:45:42Yes, Izzy, in the nick of time, too, because Zarya is feeling it.
00:45:46A little Home Alone action right here.
00:45:47Taking down, running right back around.
00:45:49Wow.
00:45:49Right to the face, in control.
00:45:54Come on, Izzy.
00:45:56Izzy running it.
00:45:57Oh, tag was made.
00:45:59That's a unique tag for Zarya.
00:46:02Zarya was just able to get out of the matchup, but nonetheless, working like a world-oiled machine.
00:46:07The whole Ruka just needed a solid base to launch that attack.
00:46:10Zarya now has Izzy scooped up.
00:46:12Oh, double-up tag team action right here.
00:46:18Going for the big, this could be the coup d'etat.
00:46:20Oh, man.
00:46:22With a little extra twist.
00:46:24Into the cover goes Zarya, who is legal for her team, and running off the bat, breaking it up, was Tatum.
00:46:31This is a new side of Paxley we've never seen before, and I hate to admit it, up until now, it's because of Izzy Damon the Culler.
00:46:39You say, Tatum Paxley has so much talent, and it's just about holding that talent and breaking it out right now.
00:46:45Zarya, you're going for a picture.
00:46:46Oh, no.
00:46:47Code breaker by Izzy, and you know Izzy right now.
00:46:50Izzy looking for Tatum.
00:46:51There's no Tatum.
00:46:52What the hell is she?
00:46:53What do you mean, where the hell is she?
00:46:54It's just Zarya dropped a second ago.
00:46:56It's Sol Ruka.
00:46:57She is legal.
00:46:58Up over, lands on her feet.
00:47:00And, oh, unique offense right to the spine.
00:47:03Oh!
00:47:04Tatum just saved Izzy.
00:47:06Zarya just pierced Sol.
00:47:10That's not what Zarya's intentions were.
00:47:13Are you sure about that?
00:47:15Tatum has just shown her true colors.
00:47:18Who's she sided with?
00:47:19She's crazy like a fox, Vic.
00:47:22That's what this is.
00:47:24She's crazy.
00:47:25She's conniving.
00:47:25She's not crazy.
00:47:26She's crazy like a fox.
00:47:28Oh, baby.
00:47:28And she could be part of the Culling sit-down style.
00:47:32And Izzy just pinned the Women's North American Champion.
00:47:37Here are your winners.
00:47:39Tatum Paxley and Izzy Dave.
00:47:42Take a look at this.
00:47:55A sight to behold for sure.
00:47:57Tatum Paxley shoving Izzy Dave out of Zarya's path.
00:48:02Zarya takes out Sol Ruka.
00:48:04And as Zarya tries to reconcile what just happened, Paxley takes care of business on the outside.
00:48:12Izzy Dave with a sky-high powerbomb on the inside.
00:48:17Nothing will bond the new team faster than a big-time win.
00:48:22Zarya takes out of the heartbreak with the warm embrace of Izzy and Tatum and the Culling.
00:48:32You know, if you guys wanted my honest opinion, I would tell you that Ethan is, like, the last person that you should align yourself with.
00:48:47But, anyways.
00:48:48Great advice.
00:48:49What I was going to say is I would love if we could have a civil conversation.
00:48:53Ain't nothing civil about this.
00:48:55This is going to be man-to-man.
00:48:57And I damn sure don't need the peanut gallery here.
00:48:59I want my rematch.
00:49:00Okay, first of all, a smidge of respect for the Vanity Project.
00:49:07Also, these boys are literally only here to help you.
00:49:10Just in case you step out of line and I have to send you back to the hospital, they're here to protect you.
00:49:16Now, as far as this rematch goes, Ricky, please keep up with the times.
00:49:22Oleg Ethan Page is the North American champion.
00:49:24The greatest North American to hold it.
00:49:26And going forward, I will be dictating every single thing about this championship on my terms.
00:49:33Oh, wow.
00:49:33Your terms, huh?
00:49:34Just like every championship that you've earned here.
00:49:37Hundos.
00:49:39Hundos.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:41Hundos.
00:49:41Now, I am a fighting champion and in a fantastic mood, so I'm going to give you an opportunity.
00:49:48You can earn a shot at this championship if and only if you survive the Vanity Project gauntlet.
00:49:56Gauntlet.
00:49:57Oh, okay.
00:49:58Ethan, you can't...
00:49:59You're okay.
00:50:00You can't do...
00:50:01Sorry.
00:50:04Ethan, you can't do that to me.
00:50:05I like these guys, man.
00:50:09No.
00:50:10Real cute, Slim Jim.
00:50:12But I don't mind playing this little game of yours, because in fact, when I beat the gauntlet,
00:50:18I get to dictate the stipulation for a modern rematch.
00:50:22I love that.
00:50:22Okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
00:50:24No.
00:50:25I don't think that's...
00:50:25Sorry, champ.
00:50:25That is a done deal.
00:50:27Next week will be Ricky Saints versus the Vanity Project gauntlet match.
00:50:32Perfect.
00:50:33Perfect.
00:50:34Great.
00:50:34Great.
00:50:35You got it.
00:50:36Easy.
00:50:37I'm not worried.
00:50:39You're going to crush this.
00:50:40I want you in this spot, boy.
00:50:51After reflecting on last week, Uriah, you made me realize that it might be time for this
00:50:58old dog to learn some new tricks.
00:51:01So, I want to apologize.
00:51:04Tough love is the only way that I know.
00:51:07But if it wasn't for you two, I would have never reopened Chase Conversa.
00:51:12Hell, when I heard Kel call out for me the day that I emptied out my classroom, in my
00:51:16darkest of days, I felt a glimmer of hope.
00:51:18And I don't want to lose sight of that.
00:51:21So, Kel, next week, I got you a singles match.
00:51:26Hey!
00:51:28And while I know my methods aren't for everyone, I do want to be better.
00:51:33If you boys will allow it.
00:51:34Mr. Chase, thank you.
00:51:37Apology accepted.
00:51:39Come on.
00:51:40Bring it in.
00:51:40A hug?
00:51:41Bring it in.
00:51:41Yeah, baby.
00:51:43Wow.
00:51:44Hey, Mr. Chase.
00:51:45It's never too late to grow.
00:51:46It's breaking those toxic patterns.
00:51:48You know what I mean?
00:51:49Kel, Uriah and I will be out there with you.
00:51:51Just promise that you'll listen to me and that you'll use what you've learned over the
00:51:55past few weeks to show them that you are.
00:51:59Can I say it?
00:51:59Is that toxic?
00:52:00I mean, 100% you can say it.
00:52:01Just with, you know, not at.
00:52:04Okay.
00:52:04And show them that you are Chase Utah.
00:52:08Whoa!
00:52:08Yes!
00:52:15You know, guys, I can only hope that Kel and Uriah finally smarten up and break free
00:52:21from Chase U because it's a sinking ship.
00:52:23It's a giant anchor.
00:52:24I'd ask Booker, but I already know what his answer would be.
00:52:26But right now we understand that Kelly Kincaid is standing by with TNA wrestlers Joe Hendry
00:52:31and Mike Santana.
00:52:34Joe Hendry, we started the night off with a bang.
00:52:36You scored a victory over Wesley with surprise help from one of your opponents at Slammiversary.
00:52:43You, Mike Santana.
00:52:45Mike, I appreciate you coming out and helping to take care of the high rise, but check it.
00:52:49You and I are throwing hands in two and a half weeks at Slammiversary.
00:52:53But the reality is that we're united when it comes to defending TNA against guys like
00:52:58Trick and high rise.
00:53:00Well, from the desk of our GM Ava, you two will be teaming up next week to take on high
00:53:05rise.
00:53:06Well, look, Kelly, I don't think I'm going to get the invite to the Santana barbecue
00:53:09anytime soon.
00:53:10But you know what?
00:53:11That doesn't matter.
00:53:12We're completely different people.
00:53:13But we do have one thing in common, and that's a quest to bring back the TNA World Championship
00:53:19back to TNA.
00:53:22Well, as much as I believe, don't get too excited, that Joe's a cornball, he reps TNA to
00:53:28the max.
00:53:30But let me make something real clear to you, Joe.
00:53:33I'm going to be the one that's bringing the TNA World title back home where it belongs.
00:53:37So get ready for Slammiversary.
00:53:40That job is fit for one man, and you're looking at him.
00:53:45Either way, Slammiversary is right around the corner.
00:53:47But first, the Great American Bash, which will play host to the contract signing for the
00:53:52TNA World Championship between these two men and Trick Williams.
00:53:57Back to you, Vic.
00:53:58You got this.
00:54:00I believe in you.
00:54:01You're going to be the one to beat Oba Femi.
00:54:03You're going to dethrone the ruler at the Great American Bash.
00:54:06I got it for both of us.
00:54:08All right, let's go, brother.
00:54:10I got this.
00:54:14Good luck, man.
00:54:15I believe in you.
00:54:16You can do it.
00:54:19Well, we are settled in for what is going to be a fight.
00:54:25The following is the NXT Championship number one contenders match.
00:54:54Introducing first, weighing in at 340 pounds, he is the winner of Season 1 of LFG, Jasper Troy.
00:55:06This matchup is presented by Progressive.
00:55:10Troy takes on Inamora with an NXT title match at the Great American Bash on the line.
00:55:16Next.
00:55:17Oh, Izzy, we did it.
00:55:23Incredible victory tonight, ladies.
00:55:26Tatum, you are starting to look like one of the family out there.
00:55:28You are.
00:55:28Really?
00:55:29I saw the chemistry developing.
00:55:30See?
00:55:31It was good to see.
00:55:32Thank you, guys.
00:55:33Ava.
00:55:33Ladies, congrats on your win tonight.
00:55:35You guys are clicking pretty fast as a tag team.
00:55:37It's easy to do when you know a friend has your back, and I love that for you.
00:55:42Izzy, I can't really tell you that because you can insult tonight, you'll face her for
00:55:46the Women's North American title at the Great American Bash.
00:55:49Yes.
00:55:49Izzy, that is incredible.
00:55:51It is incredible.
00:55:51It's about damn time, Tatum.
00:55:54I couldn't have done this without you.
00:55:55It was dead.
00:55:57It was dead.
00:55:57Come on.
00:55:59We get jumped from behind last week, and the only evidence is a black steel chair.
00:56:03I know my new friends would never do something like that.
00:56:16And if you two are so big and bad, why don't you put those titles on the line next week?
00:56:21How convenient.
00:56:22You got it.
00:56:23When we hit first, we're damn sure we're going to hit last.
00:56:25All right.
00:56:27All right.
00:56:28Listen.
00:56:28If you guys are fine with that, you can put the titles on the line next week.
00:56:32Okay.
00:56:32See you.
00:56:32Sit down.
00:56:33Sit down.
00:56:33Sit down.
00:56:33Sit down.
00:56:36Come on.
00:56:37Let's go.
00:56:38Those titles are mine.
00:56:39Come on.
00:56:40Come on.
00:56:41I wish you would.
00:56:43I wish you would.
00:56:45Look, guys.
00:56:46There is never a dull moment for our general manager.
00:56:51And his opponent, weight 200 at 42 pounds, Yoshiki Inomora.
00:57:06Corey, are you ready for this?
00:57:09Some human demolition derby.
00:57:11I hope they reinforce the ring for this one because these are two heavy hitters.
00:57:17Yoshiki Inomora, who was bold enough to step up in the face of Omifemi and say, I want
00:57:22a shot at the ruler.
00:57:24Unfortunately for Yoshiki, Jasper Troy believes he has unfinished business as well.
00:57:30This one's too close to call.
00:57:31Look at the eyes on Jasper Troy.
00:57:34You know what he's thinking?
00:57:35What do you think?
00:57:36This is the biggest deal I'm about to eat.
00:57:39That's what he's thinking.
00:57:40Well, you know, we've heard from his coach on LFG, obviously.
00:57:43Corey, I want to get your thoughts.
00:57:45How scary truly can Troy be?
00:57:47I think the sky is the limit and beyond.
00:57:50I mean, to use a cliche, Jasper Troy with terrifying athleticism cover for a man of his size.
00:57:57And Booker, correct me if I'm wrong.
00:57:59I don't think I'm out of line by saying Jasper Troy sort of reminds me of someone you're familiar
00:58:03with in your TNA days, the Monster Abyss.
00:58:06But sort of a modern era, faster, maybe even a little bit bigger.
00:58:10Look at this guy, Jasper Troy.
00:58:12He's 6'5", 300 pounds, and that's down from 330.
00:58:17That tells me this dude is serious, man.
00:58:19Boy, another cover.
00:58:20Hook of the leg and a kick out.
00:58:21It's time to take a look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive.
00:58:26You know, Booker kind of touched on it earlier.
00:58:28I mean, just think about what Jasper Troy did to Obafemi in the first meetup.
00:58:33What he could do to Obafemi at the Great American Bash.
00:58:38I mean, it's downright scary.
00:58:40And Booker, are you still even questioning Inamora's thought process after the last several
00:58:45months?
00:58:45You're damn right.
00:58:46I'm wondering what the hell is he thinking getting in the ring with this monster, Jasper
00:58:51Troy.
00:58:52But let me tell you right now, Jasper, it's about being, it's about putting food on the
00:58:57table, which makes this dude very dangerous.
00:59:00It's about honor for Yoshiki Inamora, who wants to go back someday to Japan with a story
00:59:05to be proud of, with a list of accolades a mile long.
00:59:08And trust me, Booker, you know Inamora has a sumo background.
00:59:12Yoshiki's no stranger to mixing it up with some heavy hitters, heavy dudes like Jasper
00:59:17Troy.
00:59:18Look at this.
00:59:19That is fighting spirit.
00:59:20That's what this is about.
00:59:21And it was Inamora who went back to Japan only to realize the things he missed.
00:59:26As he right now is taking it to Troy.
00:59:29Big elbow to the chest, into the cover to get to the Great American Bash in the kickout.
00:59:34He missed his tag team partner.
00:59:35He missed this brand.
00:59:36He missed the passion of the fans.
00:59:37He wants to pay them back by becoming the NXT champion in Atlanta.
00:59:43Listen, Yoshiki Inamora able to settle in now, strategize a little bit better after weathering
00:59:48the early storm of Jasper Troy.
00:59:51And speaking of the NXT champion, there you see Oba Femi looking on.
00:59:56He will face one of these two men in Atlanta at the Great American Bash.
01:00:01And he's going to have to be ready for two absolute powerhouses as Inamora in control.
01:00:07We saw several weeks ago, Oba Femi just barely getting past Jasper Troy.
01:00:12Oba has yet to mix it up properly with Yoshiki Inamora.
01:00:15And Inamora right now, nothing fancy.
01:00:18Side headlock just trying to wear down Jasper Troy.
01:00:21And this is where that sumo power, that background of Inamora plays in.
01:00:25He can wear you down.
01:00:26He's incredibly powerful.
01:00:28Have you ever seen a sumo train, Vic?
01:00:30I have not.
01:00:30It's unbelievable.
01:00:31I had the honor of being invited to a dojo many years back in Japan.
01:00:35And you want to talk about some intense, powerful training.
01:00:38These guys, I mean, some of them are strong enough to flip cars.
01:00:41And that's no exaggeration.
01:00:42Yeah, you right now, Inamora just hanging on for dear life right now.
01:00:45Trying to buy some time.
01:00:47That's the way I see it.
01:00:48I don't know what the hell you talking about, Graves.
01:00:51Oh, Graves is this what you're just alluding to.
01:00:55Just watch and learn, my friend.
01:00:59Kasper might have his second thoughts.
01:01:01Yeah, and there goes Inamora.
01:01:03Inamora coming back in.
01:01:05Oh, no.
01:01:06Big sidewalk slam.
01:01:07This is America.
01:01:08This way to Japan.
01:01:10This ain't no super match.
01:01:11Well, it's all about the American dream.
01:01:13And one of these men may be headed to the Great American Bash to achieve that dream.
01:01:18Becoming the NXT champion.
01:01:21Well, listen, they got monsters in Japan, too, Booker.
01:01:23Think about it.
01:01:24Godzilla.
01:01:25Or Tensai.
01:01:28Giant Bernard has Inamora looking down in control.
01:01:31Who is headed to Atlanta?
01:01:33Who's going to face Obafemi?
01:01:35Got all of it.
01:01:47Obafemi said he would relish a fight with someone who shares his warrior spirit.
01:01:52And these two certainly fit the bill, Graves.
01:01:55This is incredible physicality on both sides.
01:01:58Here comes Troy.
01:01:59Big splash.
01:02:01Sending a message.
01:02:02You ain't got to worry about this dude, right?
01:02:04It's monster.
01:02:05You ain't got to worry about him pulling the trigger.
01:02:07Oh, yes, man.
01:02:09Third time.
01:02:10Will it be the charm?
01:02:10Looking for a three.
01:02:12And a kick out.
01:02:13Not quite yet.
01:02:15Inamora still with some fight left.
01:02:16Booker, is Troy the first man you've seen put doubt in the mind of Obafemi?
01:02:22Because he stands, you know, 6'5".
01:02:24He goes toe-to-toe with a man like Obafemi.
01:02:28Obafemi has to know that he's beatable.
01:02:30He's beatable.
01:02:31He's been there before.
01:02:32And this man, this man, Jasper Troy, can stop him at the gate.
01:02:36Jasper Troy told the universe the day he signed his contract into the cover, another hook of the leg,
01:02:41that he would make an impact in Graves.
01:02:45This man has not lied.
01:02:46No doubt about it.
01:02:47Jasper Troy called his shot, and he's delivered everything just short of becoming.
01:02:52NXT champion, and as we've been talking about through the duration of this match,
01:02:56Troy pushed the ruler to his limit.
01:02:58We thought on multiple occasions we were going to have a new kingpin in NXT named Jasper Troy.
01:03:03And if you even go back to last week, he dropped Inamora.
01:03:07He got back in the face of Obafemi and said, we are not done,
01:03:11as now Jasper Troy may be looking for an abdominal stretch of sorts.
01:03:15Inamora doing a nice job of trying to counter.
01:03:17Round and round they go.
01:03:18Inamora finally breaks the hole and gets a little bit of separation.
01:03:21Great action right there from Inamora just to keep his feet moving.
01:03:26And listen, I'm going to be honest.
01:03:27Maybe I overestimated Inamora because Inamora is looking like he's in a world of trouble right now,
01:03:33and he desperately needs a few moments to recompose himself.
01:03:36I don't necessarily think you're wrong, Graves,
01:03:38but I think that also just goes to the power that Jasper Troy possesses.
01:03:42I agree with that, but wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:03:44Maybe I am wrong.
01:03:45Here comes Inamora, teeing off on the big man.
01:03:48There is that warrior spirit.
01:03:50One more shot, but Jasper Troy rising up like someone out of a horror movie.
01:03:54Coming right back in, and this is where that demolition derby's starting to come out.
01:03:58Whoa, bam, big boss man slam into the cover.
01:04:04And Inamora, Jasper Troy was so close.
01:04:10Take another look at just how close.
01:04:12Around we go, nearly put through the center of the ring.
01:04:16You call it a boss man slam.
01:04:18That would have gone black hole.
01:04:19Either way, almost the end of Yosuke Inamora.
01:04:23Inamora take that on his team right there,
01:04:25but the big man's going to follow him.
01:04:27Oh, another splash didn't work out.
01:04:29Inamora with the knees up.
01:04:30Inamora now.
01:04:32Here we go.
01:04:33The sumo-style strikes.
01:04:35Graves, as you would say, target has been acquired,
01:04:38and unleashing fury is Inamora.
01:04:43Oh.
01:04:44A little extra, and Inamora right now
01:04:47showing even another page in his own playbook.
01:04:51Showing another lair, if you will.
01:04:54You gotta be kidding me.
01:04:55We can't do it.
01:04:56No way.
01:04:57He just did.
01:04:58Big slam from Inamora.
01:05:00It's all about becoming the number one contender
01:05:03to the NXT championship.
01:05:06Round and round they go.
01:05:08Inamora.
01:05:08Again, overpowering Jasper Troy.
01:05:11Baker, you gotta start believing, man.
01:05:13I'm impressed.
01:05:14I'm impressed with Inamora right now.
01:05:16He's good.
01:05:16I'm counting for that bomb.
01:05:18He's going to try dropping out the big man.
01:05:21We've seen this before in the past.
01:05:24Nailed it.
01:05:26Yoshiki.
01:05:28Look out.
01:05:31Here is the winner and the new number one contender
01:05:35to the NXT championship.
01:05:37To the NXT championship, Yoshiki Inamora.
01:05:43Inamora is headed to the great American bash.
01:05:49We weren't certain that Inamora had what it took to knock off the powerhouse Jasper Troy.
01:05:55Well, Yoshiki Inamora was all too eager to prove us all wrong.
01:06:01Massive splash from the top, and Yoshiki Inamora has earned the right to step up and challenge the ruler.
01:06:11Because it is now official.
01:06:12Because it is now official, Inamora is headed to Atlanta to face that man, Obafemi, for the NXT championship.
01:06:23It's going down Saturday afternoon, July the 12th, at the great American bash.
01:06:31That's going to look behind Jasper.
01:06:33What the hell does he think?
01:06:34The young OG!
01:06:36Javon Evans just bounced Jasper Troy.
01:06:42But it's all about the NXT championship at the great American bash.
01:06:48Yeah, you might be.
01:06:51And on the topic of Atlanta ahead of her NXT women's title match at Evolution,
01:06:56we will hear from the number one contender herself, Jordan Grace.
01:07:00Next, on NXT.
01:07:02Well, next week, Gold will be on the line as Hank and Tank defend their titles against the team
01:07:08they believe attacked them.
01:07:10Spears, Vance of the Culling.
01:07:12NXT Tag Team Championships on the line, live.
01:07:16Next week, right here on NXT.
01:07:19And the former North American champion, Ricky Saints, certainly has his hands full.
01:07:25His all-ego, Ethan Page, continues to try to make Saints' life hell.
01:07:30Ricky Saints battles the Vanity Project in a gauntlet match.
01:07:34Not to be outdone, an unlikely combo of sorts.
01:07:38Will team as TNA wrestlers Joe Hendry and Mike Santana will meet the high-rise.
01:07:45There will be high stakes next week, live on NXT.
01:07:49And Tavion Heights, with talent blessed by the gods, will go one-on-one with Charlie Dempsey.
01:07:58But if Tavion Heights is victorious, he follows in the footsteps of Miles Bourne and leads no quarter catch crew.
01:08:07For an attraction, what you're about to see is just a friend.
01:08:10It's not over until I win.
01:08:12Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship,
01:08:32Jordan Grace!
01:08:35Guys, are we looking at the next face of the NXT Women's Division?
01:08:41Well, if you ask Jordan Grace, the answer is absolutely.
01:08:43Grace knows what it feels like to carry a Women's Division on her back prior to arriving in NXT.
01:08:50But all that matters is what happens in Atlanta at Evolution.
01:08:53I wanted to come out here tonight and be completely honest.
01:09:01Getting to this point is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do.
01:09:09But last week reminded me of something.
01:09:12It reminded me that I thrive under pressure.
01:09:17And the bigger the battle, the bigger the win.
01:09:21So now I'm about to walk into Evolution, a historic premium live event.
01:09:32Not just for WWE, but for women's wrestling.
01:09:40And this time, I'm not watching from the sidelines.
01:09:44I'm a part of it.
01:09:45I'm going to make history alongside the best women's wrestlers in the world.
01:09:59But for the sake of complete honesty,
01:10:03I have to be something that I'm honestly terrified of being.
01:10:08And that's vulnerable.
01:10:14Because I've been thinking a lot lately, asking myself,
01:10:17Am I actually good enough to be here?
01:10:29Do I really belong in the WWE?
01:10:33And a lot of you know my journey.
01:10:40You know that I didn't grow up saying that I was born to be a WWE superstar.
01:10:52But I did everything I had to do in order to get here.
01:10:59I became someone that they couldn't ignore.
01:11:08So at Evolution, I'm going to beat J.C. Jane and remind myself of exactly who I am.
01:11:19Because I may not have been born for this.
01:11:21All right, Jordan.
01:11:42Are you done with this incredibly pitiful sob story of yours yet?
01:11:47But I mean, congratulations on making it the absolute highlight of your entire career.
01:11:56And I know, I know, I'm fully aware that you can bench press more than me.
01:12:04But you can't carry.
01:12:06In fact, you'll never carry this division the way I will.
01:12:11But by all means, continue flexing your muscles and hoping that one day a championship will just magically fall into your arms.
01:12:21But I can promise you, it won't be my NXT Women's Championship.
01:12:26And it damn sure won't be at Evolution.
01:12:29Because everyone wants to keep saying, I'm the most beatable champion in history.
01:12:36But unfortunately for all of you and all you idiots, I'm at the top of my game.
01:12:46Yeah, you can all keep crying about it.
01:12:49Keep crying about it while I keep winning.
01:12:51And while I'm on this subject, it reminds me, you and Blake Monroe, you seem to be cut from the same cloth.
01:13:04You think you can just walk up in here and everyone's going to bow down at your feet.
01:13:10But luckily for you, Fatal Influence will always be here to remind you exactly where you stand.
01:13:18Quick reality check, honey.
01:13:21At Evolution, I'm going to prove...
01:13:22Alright, JC, why don't you just do everyone here a favor and shut up?
01:13:34You shocked the world when you won the NXT Women's Championship.
01:13:39Damn right, because I'm the best.
01:13:42I shocked them, you're right.
01:13:42But I'm not going to surprise anybody when I beat you.
01:13:46At Evolution, I'm going to become the NXT Women's...
01:13:50Oh, JC Jane hurt enough.
01:13:53Jordan Gray's looking to stand her ground.
01:13:56Gazemek doing the right thing, getting the hell out of Dodge.
01:13:59Certainly a numbers advantage now for Fatal Influence against the number one contender for JC Jane's Women's Championship.
01:14:08Alan Henley and JC Jane delivering a message.
01:14:11She's here!
01:14:12She's here!
01:14:14Blake Monroe!
01:14:17It's a glamorous one!
01:14:20She was attacked in the same way two weeks ago here on NXT.
01:14:26Oh, yes!
01:14:29Blake Monroe getting her some right now.
01:14:33But for Jordan Gray's, all the pressure is on her back when she faces JC Jane for the NXT Women's Championship.
01:14:49Ladies, ladies, ladies.
01:14:50All right, clearly there's a lot.
01:14:53What is it?
01:14:55All right, all right, all right.
01:14:56JC, JC, JC, JC, calm.
01:15:00JC, calm down and listen, listen to what I have to say.
01:15:05Oh, I'm waiting!
01:15:06What I was going to say is, look, clearly you want something done about Jordan and Blake.
01:15:12And luckily for you, yours truly is already two steps ahead.
01:15:16Thank God!
01:15:17So, at the Great American Bash, it will be Fallon Henley and JC Jane against the team of Jordan Grace and Blake Monroe.
01:15:27What an unbelievable decision just made by our general manager.
01:15:39We're going to run it back.
