00:00:39Come on, man.
00:00:41Stand up.

00:00:52Oh, yes, man.
00:00:54Oh, yes.
00:00:58Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the T.A. World Champion, Trent Williams.
00:01:12Still going, huh?
00:01:15That's right.
00:01:16I got good news for you.
00:01:18What do you think he'll keep his head set off all night?
00:01:26Derelication of duty.
00:01:27We just got started.
00:01:28But the announce table is about to become Trick N.A.
00:01:33That's right.
00:01:34You got a long night ahead of you.
00:01:43You better take a breath.
00:01:45Let's talk about it.
00:01:46Let's talk about it.
00:01:47The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:01:55Introducing first, representing the High Rise, weighing in at 178 pounds, Wesley.
00:02:03as the tna world champion gets settled in graves how big of a match is this for someone like
00:02:12wesley or by someone like wesley you mean somebody who feels perpetually overlooked
00:02:17and underrated this could be a game-changing career-altering opportunity for wesley who
00:02:24fully understands the assignment tonight wesley knows full well what is at his fingertips tonight
00:02:29it was wesley who told you trick williams he will take care of his opponent tonight
00:02:35so is how you do it on the west side though a trick i gotta ask i know there's a lot of history
00:02:41between you and wesley it seems like it's all water under the bridge you all on the same page now
00:02:45and you gotta let that go for it all right i've been accused of hanging under a grudge once in a while
00:02:49i believe in joe andre i believe in joe andre
00:02:57just a damn thing listen to this place
00:03:15everyone on their feet
00:03:20for one third of the main event at tna slam anniversary
00:03:27and as we get ready for this and i see tricks snarling great is hendry's aggressive nature
00:03:44due to things that have been said to him or about him inside that tna locker room i don't i don't know
00:03:51of it joe henry is aggressive by nature i think there's somewhere deep down inside that henry does
00:03:56his best to contain but what hendry needs to do tonight and going forward is let that wild side
00:04:01out let's not forget that wild side started to come out when he attacked you trick williams he
00:04:06attacked you last week hold on one second big cory why is you waving your hand i was stretching i got
00:04:11a clamp i apologize you need to fix that there's a misunderstanding he was waving he was waving
00:04:16all right now hey gory did you just call joe henry a little soft did you did i hear that no no that
00:04:22must have been a producer okay i was just i was just saying well as we get ready to settle in here
00:04:29trick how are you preparing for the matchup coming up tna slammiversary july 20th yourself
00:04:34joe henry mike santana for the tna world title you do not need to be factored in the decision to lose
00:04:41the tna world title i'm gonna be real big what are they doing i beat joe henry i beat mike
00:04:48santana they need to prepare backs i'm the man here is there any difference trick for you in
00:04:53preparation knowing you're going to step across enemy lines you're going into tna territory man
00:04:58i've been there before look man i've been doing this a long time man i've been doing this for two
00:05:02years let me put some respect in my name uh don't get hostile with with cory there trick booker though
00:05:07i do want to ask you if you were a tna wrestler what would you be saying to joe henry what would
00:05:12i be saying you dropped the damn ball you let the locker room down you let everybody in tna down
00:05:17that's what i would be saying i don't what would you be saying what would you be saying if you
00:05:21were the damn locker if this guy just walked away and just let everybody what would you be saying
00:05:25i'd probably just be happy to be there
00:05:27well it's not as if henry hasn't tried mike santana lost the first class
00:05:35we saw what happened to elijah and trick do you care to comment on henry's attack to you last
00:05:42week look man he a sucker he a sucker i mean what type of man wants to hit a man when he ain't
00:05:47watching behind his back man if you was really like that announce yourself he always popping up
00:05:53in appearing places how about he announce himself and beat somebody up like a man in other words he
00:05:57need to tag you if he's gonna pick up on you right you know what i'm saying i feel you dog let's talk
00:06:02about it right now joe henry trying to out muscle wesley lee though trying his best to counter the
00:06:08strength and doing it with his athleticism what a way to kick off nxt it's holiday week
00:06:14big kick beautiful it's charging right back in comes wesley and grace hasn't lee been someone that
00:06:23has stood out to you over his time here in nxt no doubt about it none more so than in this moment
00:06:29drop kicking henry into our analysis listen wesley has been on the record multiple times about how
00:06:35hungry he is about how he wants to be in the main event he wants to be the conversation in nxt show
00:06:40him how you're doing the west side though show him how you're doing the west side oh he just got back
00:06:46to the east side the south side the north side his ass ain't going to the west side
00:06:51back on nxt joe henry wesley trik williams joining us on commentary trik will defend the tna world title
00:07:03in a triple threat match pat tna slam-aversary on july 20th as henry took his eye off the ball
00:07:10wesley made him pay thanks to tyson and tyreek here on the outside dressed for success it wasn't as though
00:07:17henry just opted to take his eye off the ball big joe realized that tyson and tyreek were creeping up
00:07:21on him joe's basically one against three right now wesley disappeared didn't he he just appeared
00:07:26oh he certainly just did it trick you have ruffled some feathers here in nxt right longer and different
00:07:31we've seen how some people have looked at you in your opinion how has the tna lock room embraced you
00:07:37as their champion i ain't here to make friends i'm here to make money but if you don't like me that's your
00:07:41problem whoa beautiful a question like that you know the rule checks and championships man that's
00:07:51what trick is all about he's about making that green green dollar beat let's take another look at what
00:07:57was potentially a huge problem for joe henry beautiful athleticism by wesley but not enough to finish the job
00:08:04just yet trick you gotta like what you're seeing right now man i love that man that's just what we
00:08:08talked about take care of business west side
00:08:10had quite the stare down with nxt champion over family a few weeks back trick over will have his
00:08:18eyes on jasper troy in amora tonight winner will head to the great american bash in atlanta but a big
00:08:25pump kick from wesley rocking joe henry not henry right under the jaw around we go look at this
00:08:32oh wesley wanted a satellite ddt but henry put on the brakes certainly did bang suplex answering
00:08:39right back beautiful there by joe henry textbook baby trick is there any concern on your side that
00:08:46maybe the next time you step in the ring against the joe henry to be a different competitor a more
00:08:50hungry henry than before oh yeah look if i did it once i'm gonna do it again he ain't the only one
00:08:55trainer i'm working out every single day i'm in the gym well pivotal point of this matchup wesley
00:09:00told you trick last week he would take care of joe henry here tonight but henry firing back

00:20:36these two
00:20:37they're different kinds
00:20:39of lone wolves
00:20:40what did you say
00:20:41and i'm asking you that
00:20:41because lexus king
00:20:43last week said
00:20:43there was a lot of similarities
00:20:44they had a lone wolf mentality
00:20:46some would say
00:20:47these are two
00:20:48completely different individuals
00:20:50some would say
00:20:50some would say that lexus king
00:20:51doesn't exactly have
00:20:52both boards in the water
00:20:53what i'm curious to see tonight
00:20:55is what miles born
00:20:56truly is capable of
00:20:57going forward
00:20:58since freeing himself
00:20:59of no quarter catch group
00:21:00we've seen flashes
00:21:02of greatness
00:21:02from miles born
00:21:03but can he sustain it
00:21:04this is a big test
00:21:05for both
00:21:06and booker
00:21:07i'll come to you
00:21:07with the same thing
00:21:08i mean you've been
00:21:08a big fan of lexus king
00:21:10do you see
00:21:10any similarities
00:21:12to what king
00:21:12was saying
00:21:13one week ago

00:31:32but i agree
00:31:33i've said
00:31:34something similar
00:31:34thea hale
00:31:35wanted so bad
00:31:36to be as
00:31:37she put it
00:31:37a grown ass
00:31:38woman to

00:31:43thea hale
00:31:45last week
00:31:45also
00:31:46admitted that
00:31:49adulting is
00:31:49hard the
00:31:50locker room
00:31:50is mean
00:31:51as she's
00:31:51trying to get
00:31:52back into
00:31:52this match
00:31:53and who
00:31:53said that
00:31:54thea hale
00:31:54said that
00:31:55a grown
00:31:55woman said
00:31:56that
00:31:56yes
00:31:56i've just
00:31:57given up
00:31:57it's a selfish
00:31:58business man
00:31:59you're gonna be
00:31:59thinking about
00:32:00eight number
00:32:00one right now
00:32:01thea hale
00:32:02is doing that
00:32:03in this matchup
00:32:04but can she
00:32:04continue to do
00:32:05that that's
00:32:06the mindset
00:32:06stay focused
00:32:07thea
00:32:07stay focused
00:32:08and thea

00:32:14by laney reed
00:32:15getting that
00:32:16inside shoulder
00:32:17up
00:32:17listen in my
00:32:18opinion i think
00:32:19thea needs to
00:32:20take what she has
00:32:21which is a
00:32:21seemingly endless
00:32:22amount of energy
00:32:23she's frenetic
00:32:24she's frantic
00:32:24if she could
00:32:25channel it
00:32:26if she can
00:32:26focus it
00:32:27use it in
00:32:27bursts
00:32:28in spurts
00:32:29rather than
00:32:29just non-stop
00:32:30chaos
00:32:31it might serve
00:32:32thea well in the
00:32:32future

00:34:26fair
00:34:26it's a good deal
00:34:30so
00:34:31so
00:34:32so
00:34:34you
00:35:04Here's a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:35:08Introducing first, the team of Saria and the NXT Women's North American Champion, Saul Ruka.
00:35:21We can call it any way we want to.
00:35:24This duo took matters into their own hands to try and help Tatum last week.
00:35:31Haxley prefers, though, her new friend.
00:35:34We're going to have a tag team match between all four of these women next on NXT.
00:35:38The NXT locker room lives in fear of Oba Femi.
00:35:46He's dominant.
00:35:48He's invincible.
00:35:49He's a titan.
00:35:50But did he look that way when he was in the ring with me?
00:35:53The NXT champion barely survived.
00:35:57And now I'm only one match away from the rematch that I want.
00:36:00And I know Oba, he's rooting for Inamora.
00:36:03Because he knows what's waiting at the bash if I get my hand raised tonight.
00:36:08Inamora, I'm going through you.
00:36:11And Oba Femi, you may be backed by destiny, but your destiny is mine.
00:36:17Truth will ultimately prevail.
00:36:19But there's pain, bringing it to light.
00:36:42And the reporters, the team are Tatum Paxley.
00:36:46And the Cullings, Izzy Dane.
00:36:51Look, I'm not one for conspiracies, but all signs are pointing to the Culling
00:36:56taking out the NXT Tag Team Champions Hank and Tank last week.
00:37:01But we also saw Tatum Paxley get carried away by Zal Ruka last weekend
00:37:07to try and help Tatum Paxley.
00:37:10So, Graves, I toss it to you.
00:37:11Who do you think is more trustworthy?
00:37:14Izzy Dane?
00:37:15Or Sol Ruka and Zarya?
00:37:17I don't know if trustworthy is the word that I would use,
00:37:20but let's talk about the Culling.
00:37:22Let's be honest.
00:37:22They prey on the weak and the broken.
00:37:25That's where Tatum Paxley is.
00:37:27That's where she belongs.
00:37:29And while we're at it, to be perfectly honest,
00:37:32I don't know if I trust anything about Zarya.
00:37:35To me, she's just riding the coattails of Sol Ruka.
00:37:38And for some reason, she's trying to convince Sol that they're best friends.
00:37:41But trust me, trust me, mark my words, somewhere down the line,
00:37:45we're going to be talking about how did we see this coming?
00:37:48Zarya is going to stick it to Sol Ruka.
00:37:50You ever have a conversation with Zarya?
00:37:51Nope.
00:37:53Well, where are you jumping to conclude?
00:37:55Whoa, wait a minute.
00:37:59Zarya's on.
00:38:00And Izzy coming in, sticking up for her, well, I guess her friend,
00:38:03however you want to call it.
00:38:04But there's some of that teamwork there, Graves, from Zarya Ruka.
00:38:08I never said they weren't an effective team.
00:38:10I just said you couldn't trust her.
00:38:11Well, they got a very strong bond and stronger, don't you think, though,
00:38:14since Sol's win over the women's North American title?
00:38:18Or do you think it's because Zarya has eyes on that championship?
00:38:21Yeah.
00:38:21Let's take another look at this exchange right here,
00:38:24this fantastic teamwork as it was.
00:38:26But you're 100% right, Vic.
00:38:29Keep your friends close.
00:38:30Keep your enemies closer.
00:38:32Zarya looks at that North American championship some kind of way.
00:38:35You ain't lying.
00:38:37There's a method to the madness, man, with Zarya.
00:38:40I feel the same way, man.
00:38:42You can't trust her.
00:38:43DTA.
00:38:44Great minds.
00:38:44Great minds.
00:38:45Still to come, we will hear from the number one contender
00:38:48to the NXT Women's Championship, Jordan Grace.
00:38:51Grace Jane, WWE Evolution Week from Sunday in Atlanta.
00:38:54How is this for teamwork from a first-time team?
00:38:57Tatum, Paxley, and Izzy Dame working extremely well together.
00:39:02And that is also hard to argue, Izzy Dame bringing of sorts some dowels to Tatum, Paxley.
00:39:09This is a peace offering.
00:39:10It's like when you hand out candy to the people around ringside.
00:39:14It's like a cheer for you.
00:39:14That's 100% why I do it, is Izzy Dame still in control of this matchup tag.
00:39:19And right back in Tatum, Paxley, and as I was mentioning, the NXT Women's Championship
00:39:23to be defended at Evolution.
00:39:25First Evolution in seven years.
00:39:27The champion the last time.
00:39:28Oh, as floating over is the champion into a kickout.
00:39:31The champion was Kairi Sane.
00:39:33She did not leave Evolution NXT Women's Champion on that night.
00:39:37We will find out if J.C. Jane can leave champion coming up in Atlanta.
00:39:41But Sol Ruka in control now of Tatum, Paxley.
00:39:44Got to wonder what Sol, what Zarya's thinking in this match.
00:39:48They don't want to hurt Tatum, Paxley.
00:39:50They're trying to help Tatum, Paxley.
00:39:52Tatum, Paxley, is looking for a friend.
00:39:54And I think she's found one in Izzy Dame.
00:39:57And Izzy Dame has just found somebody that she can use at the end of the day.
00:40:01So everybody get what they want.
00:40:03I like it.
00:40:03I like the agreement.
00:40:05Paxley able to kick out of it.
00:40:07Booker, though, why would Tatum choose evil over good?
00:40:12You know, I wouldn't say it's evil.
00:40:13Good and evil are totally subjective.
00:40:15What do you mean?
00:40:16I don't think that's what it is.
00:40:17You're telling she has great intentions, Izzy Dame?
00:40:19Someone who tore the family apart?
00:40:22Someone who was able to manipulate a situation against Sean Spears,
00:40:25the North American Championship, several months ago?
00:40:27I see a woman who lent a helping hand, as you so eloquently put it,
00:40:31to someone who was down on their luck.
00:40:33Someone who needed a little help, a little motivation.
00:40:36Izzy Dame into the cover, hooks the leg.
00:40:38And above all else, I think Izzy Dame understands what this game is all about.
00:40:43Booker, can you help me out?
00:40:44I mean, you put that great.
00:40:46I mean, that was a great soliloquy that you just put out right there.
00:40:49Can you spell soliloquy?
00:40:51He used it properly.
00:40:52It doesn't matter.
00:40:53I'll tell you what, Graves is good.
00:40:55Graves can sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves.
00:40:58Ketchup popsicle?
00:41:00And now, big right hand from Sol firing right back on Izzy,
00:41:05who fires back in her own right.
00:41:06And it's almost as if these, oh,
00:41:08these women are fighting over Tata Paxley,
00:41:11who just made a tag.
00:41:12I don't think somebody will realize.
00:41:13No, no, no, no, no.
00:41:14They're trying to fight this saber.
00:41:16They're trying to help her.
00:41:16Oh, beautiful.
00:41:18Tata Paxley.
00:41:19And a kick out.
00:41:19Listen, you know what Sol Ruka needs to be concerned about?
00:41:23The North American Championship.
00:41:25You know what Zari needs to be concerned about?
00:41:26How to take the North American Championship
00:41:29or how to put herself in the NXT women's title picture.
00:41:31Boom.
00:41:31Cross body.
00:41:32A thing of beauty from Tatum Paxley,
00:41:34who is wildly talented in the small instances
00:41:37when she gets her head right.
00:41:39Well, as we also focus in on this too, Booker,
00:41:42regardless of personal feelings,
00:41:44as she just was tagged out of the matchup,
00:41:46Izzy Dame has certainly dominated the field
00:41:48since joining the cup.
00:41:49Izzy Dame, I will call her the leader.
00:41:53She's been making all the power plays.
00:41:55If she can get a win tonight,
00:41:58definitely, definitely that would be a big, big, big, big,
00:42:00big check mark.
00:42:01Let's just say that.
00:42:02X marks the spot.
00:42:03Dame to the outside.
00:42:05Tatum getting hoisted up.
00:42:06Oh, baby.
00:42:07I don't like this.
00:42:09Surfboard.
00:42:10Surfboard.
00:42:11Surfboard.
00:42:12One more time.
00:42:13Surfboard.
00:42:13Third time.
00:42:14The tie right down on Izzy Dame.
00:42:16And now look at the power of Zarya.
00:42:19Just tossing out Tatum onto Izzy.
00:42:23Zoruka standing tall here on NXT.
00:42:26Don't say that again, bro.
00:42:34Zarya, Zoruka been in control up until this moment.
00:42:38And oh!
00:42:38Tatum, Paxley, Izzy Dame, making their presence known,
00:42:44making it felt as Spears, Nico Vance on the outside,
00:42:47cheering on Tatum.
00:42:48Booker, what do you think the rest of the culling
00:42:50thinks of Tatum?
00:42:51I think they're thinking she's the right person for the job.
00:42:54Tatum, Paxley could be the newest member of the culling,
00:42:57especially, like I say, we get a victory tonight.
00:43:00Everything's lovely, man.
00:43:02Spears, Vance, the insurance policy on the outside.
00:43:04Zarya able to get out of the way for a moment,
00:43:07trying to showcase that power.
00:43:08Nice counter by Tatum.
00:43:10And Tatum with a nice drop.
00:43:12Wow.
00:43:12Think about what the addition of Tatum, Paxley,
00:43:14could mean for the culling.
00:43:16We see them grow stronger.
00:43:17They're switching pieces in and out to maximize their effectiveness.
00:43:21Look at this.
00:43:22This is tremendous teamwork.
00:43:23Beautiful teamwork.
00:43:24Izzy and Tatum.
00:43:25Iabolical.
00:43:25So, you agree with what Booker said,
00:43:28that the culling has only gotten stronger in recent weeks.
00:43:32Short arm, clothesline, hook of the leg, and an ear fall.
00:43:34When you find a way to appeal to the broken, to the weakened,
00:43:38and you can unite them, and you can use the things that broke them
00:43:41to strengthen them,
00:43:42you are creating a very, very dangerous group of human beings.
00:43:46Beautiful silence.
00:43:47We're not playing Scrabble here, Booker.
00:43:49You don't get more points for using it twice.
00:43:51Izzy gifted some dolls to Tatum.
00:43:53What is that?
00:43:54Your point.
00:43:54That's all it takes, putting Tatum's heart back together.
00:43:57Well, that's what I was trying to get.
00:43:58It was symbolic.
00:43:59Boom!
00:44:00Oh, big shot.
00:44:01Yeah, that was symbolic, too.
00:44:03I'd be like, if I bought you a tube of your favorite, honey,
00:44:05because we didn't have a great show.
00:44:06Look at Tatum Paxley.
00:44:07Oh, baby!
00:44:09Oh, baby!
00:44:10Two to the half.
00:44:11Hook of the leg.
00:44:12Will it be enough?
00:44:13And an ear fall.
00:44:14Beautiful somber, some leg drop.
00:44:17For Tatum Paxley, partners, friends have left her in the past.
00:44:21Some unexpected.
00:44:22Maybe.
00:44:23I'll look at it the other way.
00:44:24Maybe, just maybe, she found a true friend, Booker, in Izzy Day.
00:44:28Let me tell you right now.
00:44:30Tatum Paxley has a lot of talent.
00:44:31I think that Cully can really, truly hold in on that talent
00:44:35and get the best of Tatum Paxley out of the middle of that ring.
00:44:39That's the way I'm doing it.
00:44:40You've got a lot of experience.
00:44:41Think of the value inside the mind of Sean Spears.
00:44:44This is a man who's been there, done that, around the world, tasted the success.
00:44:49Sulked in failure.
00:44:50Hook of the leg.
00:44:51Off the Instagram.
00:44:52And Spears is a wealth of knowledge.
00:44:55And when you take these people, again, who, for all intents and purposes, are in a dark spot in their life,
00:45:00Spears has figured out how to maybe manipulate is the right word, but build them back up.
00:45:05You know what I call him, right?
00:45:07The GPS.
00:45:08Just put in the information.
00:45:10Just log in your coordination.
00:45:12And he will get you there.
00:45:13Yes, baby.
00:45:14Oh, yes.
00:45:15Coordinates.
00:45:16That's what I meant to say.
00:45:17Who the hell uses a GPS?
00:45:18You use maps now these days.
00:45:20I got the GPS.
00:45:20You got Tom Tom in your car?
00:45:21I got Waze.
00:45:22Oh!
00:45:23Yes.
00:45:25Well, right now, Tatum Paxley finding Waze to continue this matchup and for the Culling.
00:45:30A tag was made.
00:45:31Izzy Dame back in.
00:45:32And this Tandemol.
00:45:34Wow.
00:45:34Sorry, I got the knees up just in time.
00:45:36Oh, tag.
00:45:37And in comes the women's North American champion who's finding her own ways to turn the tables in this matchup.
00:45:44Yes, it's in the nick of time, too, because Zario is feeling it.
00:45:47A little Home Alone action right here.
00:45:49Taking down, running right back around.
00:45:51Wow.
00:45:51Right to the face.
00:45:52In control.
00:45:58Izzy running it.
00:45:59Oh.
00:45:59Tag was made.
00:46:01That's a unique tag for Zario.
00:46:04He was just able to get out of the matchup.
00:46:06But nonetheless, working like a wild machine.
00:46:08So Ruka just needed a solid base to launch that attack.
00:46:12Zario now has Izzy scooped up.
00:46:16Oh, double up tag team action right here.
00:46:19Going for the big.
00:46:20This could be the Culling time.
00:46:22Oh, man.
00:46:23With a little extra twist.
00:46:26Into the cover goes Zario, who is legal for her team.
00:46:28And running up the bat, breaking it up, was Tatum.
00:46:32This is a new side of Paxley we've never seen before.
00:46:36And I hate to admit it, up until now, it's because of Izzy Damon, the Culling.
00:46:41Because Tatum Paxley has so much talent.
00:46:44It's just about owning that talent and breaking it out.
00:46:46Right now, Zario, you're going for a picture.
00:46:48Oh, no.
00:46:48Code breaker by Izzy.
00:46:50And you know Izzy right now.
00:46:51Is he looking for Tatum?
00:46:52There's no Tatum.
00:46:53What the hell is she?
00:46:55What do you mean, where the hell is she?
00:46:56It's just Zaria dropped a second ago.
00:46:57It's Sol Ruka.
00:46:59She is legal.
00:47:00Up over, lands on her feet.
00:47:02And, oh, unique offense right to the spine.
00:47:05Oh!
00:47:05Tatum just saved Izzy.
00:47:07Zaria just pierced Sol.
00:47:09That's not what Zaria's intentions were.
00:47:14Are you sure about that?
00:47:16Tatum has just shown her true colors.
00:47:20Who's she sided with?
00:47:22She's crazy like a fox, Vic.
00:47:24That's what this is.
00:47:25She's crazy.
00:47:26She's conniving.
00:47:27She's not crazy.
00:47:28She's crazy like a fox.
00:47:29Oh, baby.
00:47:30And she could be part of the Culling sit-down style.
00:47:34And Izzy just pinned the Women's North American Champion.
00:47:39Here are your winners, Tatum Paxley and Izzy Dane.
00:47:53Take a look at this.
00:47:57A sight to behold for sure.
00:47:58Tatum Paxley shoving Izzy Dane out of Zaria's path.
00:48:03Zaria takes out Sol Ruka.
00:48:05And as Zaria tries to reconcile what just happened, Paxley takes care of business on the outside.
00:48:13Izzy Dane with a sky-high powerbomb on the inside.
00:48:18Nothing will bond the new team faster than a big-time win.
00:48:23Zaria takes out Zaria's path.
00:48:25Zaria takes out Zaria's path.
00:48:26Zaria looking up in heartbreak with the warm embrace of Izzy and Tatum and the Culling.
00:48:34You 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.
00:48:48But, anyways.
00:48:50Great advice.
00:48:51What I was going to say is I would love if we could have a civil conversation.
00:48:55Ain't nothing civil about this.
00:48:57This is going to be man-to-man.
00:48:58And I damn sure don't need the peanut gallery here.
00:49:00I want my rematch.
00:49:02Okay.
00:49:03First of all, a smidge of respect for the Vanity Project.
00:49:09Also, these boys are literally only here to help you.
00:49:12Just in case you step out of line and I have to send you back to the hospital, they're here to protect you.
00:49:17Now, as far as this rematch goes, Ricky, please keep up with the times.
00:49:23Oligo Ethan Page is the North American champion.
00:49:26The greatest North American to hold it.
00:49:28And going forward, I will be dictating every single thing about this championship on my terms.
00:49:34Oh, wow.
00:49:35Your terms, huh?
00:49:36Not just like every championship that you've earned here.
00:49:38Hundos.
00:49:40Hundos.
00:49:41Yeah.
00:49:42Hundos.
00:49:43Now, I am a fighting champion and in a fantastic mood.
00:49:47So, I'm going to give you an opportunity.
00:49:49You can earn a shot at this championship if and only if you survive the Vanity Project gauntlet.
00:49:58A gauntlet.
00:49:59Oh, okay.
00:50:00Ethan, you can't...
00:50:00You're okay.
00:50:02You can't do...
00:50:02Sorry.
00:50:04Ethan, you can't do that, sir.
00:50:09I like these guys, man.
00:50:11No.
00:50:12Real cute, Slim Jim.
00:50:13But I don't mind playing this little game of yours because, in fact, when I beat the gauntlet,
00:50:19I get to dictate the stipulation for a modern rematch.
00:50:23I love that.
00:50:24Okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
00:50:26No.
00:50:26Sorry, champ.
00:50:27That is a done deal.
00:50:29Next week will be Ricky Saints versus the Vanity Project gauntlet match.
00:50:33Perfect.
00:50:35Perfect.
00:50:36You're right.
00:50:36Right.
00:50:37You got it.
00:50:38Easy.
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:39On those.
00:50:40Shut up.
00:50:40I'm not worried.
00:50:41You're going to crush those.
00:50:42I want you in this spot.
00:50:43After reflecting on last week, Uriah, you made me realize that it might be time for this
00:51:00old dog to learn some new tricks.
00:51:02So, I want to apologize.
00:51:06Tough love is the only way that I know.
00:51:08But, if it wasn't for you two, I would have never reopened Chase University.
00:51:13Hell, when I heard Kel call out for me the day that I emptied out my classroom, in my
00:51:17darkest of days, I felt a glimmer of hope.
00:51:21And I don't want to lose sight of that.
00:51:23So, Kel, next week, I got you a singles match.
00:51:26Hey, thank you.
00:51:30And while I know my methods aren't for everyone, I do want to be better, if you boys will allow
00:51:35it.
00:51:36Mr. Chase, thank you.
00:51:39Apology accepted.
00:51:40Come on.
00:51:41Bring it in.
00:51:42A hug?
00:51:43Bring it in.
00:51:43Yeah, big hug.
00:51:44Wow.
00:51:45Hey, Mr. Chase.
00:51:46It's never too late to grow.
00:51:47It's breaking those toxic patterns.
00:51:50You know what I mean?
00:51:51Kel, Uriah and I will be out there with you.
00:51:53Just promise that you'll listen to me and that you'll use what you've learned over the
00:51:57past few weeks to show them that you are.
00:52:00Can I say it?
00:52:01Is that toxic?
00:52:02I mean, 100% you can say it.
00:52:03Just with, you know, not at.
00:52:05Okay.
00:52:06And show them that you are Chase Utah.
00:52:09Whoa.
00:52:10Yes.
00:52:10You know, guys, I can only hope that Kale and Uriah finally smarten up and break free
00:52:22from Chase U because it's a sinking ship.
00:52:24It's a giant anchor.
00:52:25I'd ask Booker, but I already know what his answer would be.
00:52:28But right now we understand that Kelly Kincaid is standing by with TNA wrestlers Joe Hendry
00:52:32and Mike Santana.
00:52:36Joe Hendry, we started the night off with a bang.
00:52:38You scored a victory over Wesley with surprise help from one of your opponents at Slammiversary.
00:52:44You, Mike Santana.
00:52:46Mike, I appreciate you coming out and helping to take care of high rise, but check it.
00:52:52You and I are throwing hands in two and a half weeks at Slammiversary.
00:52:55But the reality is that we're united when it comes to defending TNA against guys like Trick
00:53:00and high rise.
00:53:02Well, from the desk of our GM Ava, you two will be teaming up next week to take on high rise.
00:53:07Well, look, Kelly, I don't think I'm going to get the invite to the Santana barbecue anytime
00:53:11soon.
00:53:12But you know what?
00:53:12That doesn't matter.
00:53:13We're completely different people.
00:53:15But we do have one thing in common, and that's a quest to bring back the TNA World Championship
00:53:21back to TNA.
00:53:22Well, as much as I believe, don't get too excited, that Joe's a cornball, he reps TNA to the max.
00:53:31But let me make something real clear to you, Joe.
00:53:34I'm going to be the one that's bringing the TNA World title back home where it belongs.
00:53:39So get ready for Slammiversary.
00:53:41That job is fit for one man, and you're looking at him.
00:53:47Either way, Slammiversary is right around the corner.
00:53:49But first, the Great American Bash, which will play host to the contract signing for the
00:53:54TNA World Championship between these two men and Trick Williams.
00:53:58Back to you, Vic.
00:53:59You got this.
00:54:01I believe in you.
00:54:02You're going to be the one to beat Obafemi.
00:54:05You're going to dethrone the ruler at the Great American Bash.
00:54:08I got it for both of us.
00:54:10All right, let's go, brother.
00:54:10Let's...
00:54:11I got this.
00:54:16Good luck, man.
00:54:16I believe in you.
00:54:17You can do it.
00:54:21Well, we are settled in for what is going to be a fight.
00:54:29The following is the NXT Championship number one contender's match.
00:54:56Introducing first, weighing in at 340 pounds, he is the winner of season one of LFG, Jasper
00:55:07Troy.
00:55:09This matchup is presented by Progressive.
00:55:12Troy takes on Inamora with an NXT title match at the Great American Bash on the line.
00:55:18Next.
00:55:18Oh, Izzy, we did it!
00:55:25We did it!
00:55:25Incredible victory tonight, ladies.
00:55:27Tatum, you are starting to look like one of the family out there.
00:55:30You are?
00:55:30Really?
00:55:30I saw the chemistry developing.
00:55:32See?
00:55:32It was good to see.
00:55:34Thank you, guys!
00:55:34Ava!
00:55:35Ladies, congrats on your win tonight.
00:55:37You guys are clicking pretty fast as a guy team.
00:55:39It's easy to do when you know a friend has your back.
00:55:41And I love that for you.
00:55:43Izzy, I came here to tell you that because you can insult tonight, you'll face her for
00:55:48the Women's North American title at the Great American Bash.
00:55:50Yes!
00:55:51Izzy, that is incredible!
00:55:52It is incredible.
00:55:53It's about damn time.
00:55:55Tatum, I couldn't have done this without you.
00:55:57No, a ton.
00:55:58It was dead.
00:55:58Barely hard.
00:55:59Barely hard.
00:56:00Come on.
00:56:01We get jumped from behind last week and the only evidence is a black steel chair.
00:56:04Yeah.
00:56:05Come on.
00:56:05I know my new friends would never do something like that.
00:56:18And if you two are so big and bad, why don't you put those titles on the line next week?
00:56:22How convenient.
00:56:23You got it.
00:56:24When we didn't hit first, we're damn sure gonna hit last.
00:56:26All right, all right, listen.
00:56:30If you guys are fine with that, you can put the titles on the line next week.
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:33See you.
00:56:34Look, guys, there is never a dull moment for our general manager.
00:56:57And his opponent, weighing 200 at 42 pounds, Yoshiki.
00:57:04Itamora!
00:57:08Corey, are you ready for this?
00:57:10Some human demolition derby.
00:57:13I hope they reinforce the ring for this one because these are two heavy hitters.
00:57:18Yoshiki Itamora, who was bold enough to step up in the face of Omofemi and say, I want a shot at the ruler.
00:57:25Unfortunately for Yoshiki, Jasper Troy believes he has unfinished business as well.
00:57:31This one's too close to call.
00:57:33Look at the eyes on Jasper Troy.
00:57:36You know what he's thinking?
00:57:37You know what he's thinking?
00:57:37He's just the biggest deal I'm about to eat.
00:57:40That's what he's thinking.
00:57:41Well, you know, we've heard from his coach on LFG, obviously.
00:57:45Corey, I want to get your thoughts.
00:57:46How scary truly can Troy be?
00:57:49I think the sky is the limit and beyond.
00:57:52I mean, to use a cliche.
00:57:53Jasper Troy with terrifying athleticism.
00:57:56Cover for a man of his size.
00:57:59And Booker, correct me if I'm wrong.
00:58:00I don't think I'm out of line by saying Jasper Troy sort of reminds me of someone you're familiar with in your TNA days.
00:58:06The Monster Abyss.
00:58:07But sort of a modern era, faster, maybe even a little bit bigger.
00:58:11Look at this guy, Jasper Troy.
00:58:13He's 6'5", 300 pounds.
00:58:16And that's down from 330.
00:58:19That tells me this dude is serious, man.
00:58:21Another cover.
00:58:22Hook of the leg and a kick out.
00:58:23But it's time to take a look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive.
00:58:28You know, Booker kind of touched on it earlier.
00:58:30I mean, just think about what Jasper Troy did to Obafemi in the first meetup.
00:58:35What he could do to Obafemi at the Great American Bash.
00:58:40I mean, it's downright scary.
00:58:42And Booker, are you still even questioning Annamora's thought process after the last several months?
00:58:46You're damn right.
00:58:47I'm wondering what the hell is he thinking?
00:58:49Kidding in the ring with this monster, Jasper Troy.
00:58:53And let me tell you right now.
00:58:55Jasper, it's about business.
00:58:57It's about putting food on the table, which makes this dude very dangerous.
00:59:02It's about honor for Yoshiki Annamora, who wants to go back someday to Japan with a story to be proud of.
00:59:08With a list of accolades a mile long.
00:59:10And trust me, Booker, you know Annamora has a sumo background.
00:59:14Yoshiki's no stranger to mixing it up with some heavy hitters.
00:59:17Heavy dudes like Jasper Troy.
00:59:19Look at this.
00:59:20That is fighting spirit.
00:59:22That's what this is about.
00:59:23And it was Annamora who went back to Japan only to realize the things he missed.
00:59:28As he right now is taking it to Troy.
00:59:30Big elbow to the chest.
00:59:32Into the cover.
00:59:33To get to the Great American Bash and the kick out.
00:59:35He missed his tag team partner.
00:59:36He missed this brand.
00:59:37He missed the passion of the fans.
00:59:39He wants to pay them back by becoming the NXT champion in Atlanta.
00:59:43Now, listen, Yoshiki Annamora able to settle in now, strategize a little bit better after
00:59:49weathering the early storm of Jasper Troy.
00:59:53And speaking of the NXT champion, there you see Obafemi looking on.
00:59:57He will face one of these two men in Atlanta at the Great American Bash.
01:00:03And he's going to have to be ready for two absolute powerhouses as Annamora in control.
01:00:08We saw several weeks ago, Obafemi just barely getting past Jasper Troy.
01:00:14Oba has yet to mix it up properly with Yoshiki Annamora.
01:00:17And Annamora right now, nothing fancy.
01:00:19Side headlock just trying to wear down Jasper Troy.
01:00:23And this is where that sumo power, that background of Annamora plays in.
01:00:27He can wear you down.
01:00:28He's incredibly powerful.
01:00:30You ever seen a sumo train, Vic?
01:00:31I have not.
01:00:32It's unbelievable.
01:00:33I had the honor of being invited to a dojo many years back in Japan.
01:00:36And you want to talk about some intense, powerful training.
01:00:39These guys, I mean, some of them are strong enough to flip cars.
01:00:42And that's no exaggeration.
01:00:43I see you right now, Annamora just hanging on for dear life right now, trying to buy some time.
01:00:49That's the way I see it.
01:00:50I don't know what the hell you talking about, Graves.
01:00:53Oh, Graves is this what you're just alluding to.
01:00:56Just watch and learn, my friend.
01:01:01Kasper might have his second thoughts.
01:01:02Yeah, and there goes Annamora.
01:01:04There we go.
01:01:05Annamora coming back in.
01:01:06Oh, no.
01:01:07Big sidewalk slam.
01:01:08This is America.
01:01:10This way to Japan.
01:01:12This ain't a super match.
01:01:13Well, it's all about the American dream.
01:01:15And one of these men may be headed to the Great American Bash to achieve that dream, becoming the NXT champion.
01:01:22Well, listen, they got monsters in Japan, too, Booker.
01:01:25Think about it.
01:01:25Godzilla.
01:01:27Or Tensai.
01:01:29Giant Bernard has Annamora looking down in control.
01:01:33Who is headed to Atlanta?
01:01:35Who's going to face Obafemi?
01:01:43Got all of it.
01:01:49Obafemi said he would relish a fight with someone who shares his warrior spirit.
01:01:54And these two certainly fit the bill, Graves.
01:01:57This is incredible physicality on both sides.
01:01:59Here comes Troy.
01:02:01Big splash.
01:02:02Sending a message.
01:02:04You ain't got to worry about this dude, right?
01:02:06This monster.
01:02:07You ain't got to worry about him pulling the trigger.
01:02:09Oh, yes, man.
01:02:10Third time.
01:02:11Will it be the charm?
01:02:12Looking for a three.
01:02:13And a kick out.
01:02:14Not quite yet.
01:02:16Annamora still with some fight left.
01:02:18Booker, is Troy the first man you've seen put doubt in the mind of Obafemi?
01:02:23Because he stands, you know, 6'5".
01:02:26He goes toe-to-toe with a man like Obafemi.
01:02:29Obafemi has to know that he's beatable.
01:02:31He's beatable.
01:02:32He's been there before.
01:02:33And this man, this man Jasper Troy, could stop him at the gate.
01:02:38Jasper Troy told the universe the day he signed his contract into the cover.
01:02:42Another hook of the leg.
01:02:44And he would make an impact.
01:02:46And Graves, this man has not lied.
01:02:48No doubt about it.
01:02:49Jasper Troy called his shot.
01:02:51And he's delivered everything just short of becoming NXT champion.
01:02:55And as we've been talking about through the duration of this match,
01:02:57Troy pushed the ruler to his limit.
01:03:00We thought on multiple occasions we were going to have a new kingpin in NXT
01:03:04named Jasper Troy.
01:03:05And if you even go back to last week, he dropped Annamora.
01:03:09He got back in the face of Obafemi and said,
01:03:11We are not done.
01:03:13As now Jasper Troy may be looking for an abdominal stretch of sorts.
01:03:16Annamora doing a nice job of trying to counter.
01:03:18Round and round they go.
01:03:19Oh, Annamora finally breaks the hole and gets a little bit of separation.
01:03:23Great action right there from Annamora just to keep his feet moving.
01:03:28And listen, I'm going to be honest.
01:03:29Maybe I overestimated Annamora because Annamora is looking like he's in a world of trouble right now.
01:03:34And he desperately needs a few moments to recompose himself.
01:03:38I don't necessarily think you're wrong, Graves, but I think that also just goes to the power that Jasper Troy possesses.
01:03:43I agree with that.
01:03:44But wait a minute.
01:03:45Wait a minute.
01:03:45Maybe I am wrong.
01:03:47Here comes Annamora.
01:03:48Teeing off on the big man.
01:03:50There is that warrior spirit.
01:03:52One more shot.
01:03:53But Jasper Troy rising up like someone out of a horror movie.
01:03:56Coming right back in.
01:03:57And this is where that demolition derby is starting to come out.
01:04:01Whoa.
01:04:02Bam.
01:04:03Big boss man slam.
01:04:04Into the cover.
01:04:06And Annamora.
01:04:08Jasper Troy was so close.
01:04:11Take another look at just how close.
01:04:14Around we go.
01:04:15Nearly put through the center of the ring.
01:04:18You call it a boss man slam.
01:04:19And we're going black hole.
01:04:21Either way, almost the end of Yosuke Inamora.
01:04:25Inamora got on his team right there.
01:04:27But the big man's going to follow him.
01:04:28Oh.
01:04:29Another splash didn't work out.
01:04:31Inamora with the knees up.
01:04:32Inamora now.
01:04:33Here we go.
01:04:34The sumo style strikes.
01:04:36Graves, as you would say, target has been acquired.
01:04:40And unleashing fury is Inamora.
01:04:42A little extra.
01:04:47And Inamora right now.
01:04:49Showing even another page in his own playbook.
01:04:53Showing another lair, if you will.
01:04:55You gotta be kidding me.
01:04:57We can't do it.
01:04:58No way.
01:04:59He just did.
01:05:00Big slam from Inamora.
01:05:02It's all about becoming the number one contender to the NXT championship.
01:05:07Round and round they go.
01:05:09Inamora again.
01:05:10And overpowering Jasper Troll.
01:05:12Waker, you gotta start believing, man.
01:05:15I'm impressed.
01:05:15I'm impressed with Inamora right now.
01:05:17He's going up top for that bomb.
01:05:20He's going to try to drop it out.
01:05:21The big man.
01:05:22We've seen this before in the past.
01:05:26Nailed it.
01:05:27Yosuke!
01:05:28Yosuke!
01:05:29Bring it!
01:05:30Look out!
01:05:33Here is the winner and the new number one contender to the NXT championship, Yosuke Inamora!
01:05:45Inamora is headed to the Great American Bash!
01:05:50We weren't certain that Inamora had what it took to knock off the powerhouse Jasper Troll.
01:05:57Well, Yosuke Inamora was all too eager to prove us all wrong.
01:06:03Massive splash from the top.
01:06:05And Yosuke Inamora has earned the right to step up and challenge the ruler.
01:06:12Because it is now official.
01:06:15Inamora is headed to Atlanta to face Batman.
01:06:22Oba Femi for the NXT championship.
01:06:25It's going down Saturday afternoon, July the 12th, at the Great American Bash.
01:06:32That's right over behind Jasper.
01:06:34The hell is he thinking?
01:06:36The young OG!
01:06:38Javon Evans just bounced Jasper Troy.
01:06:44But it's all about the NXT championship at the Great American Bash.
01:06:49And on the topic of Atlanta, ahead of her NXT.
01:06:55NXT Women's Title Match at Evolution.
01:06:58We will hear from the number one contender herself, Jordan Grace.
01:07:02Next on NXT.
01:07:04Well, next week, Gold will be on the line as Hank and Tank defend their titles against the team they believe attacked them.
01:07:11Spears, Vance of the Culling.
01:07:14NXT Tag Team Championships on the line, live next week right here on NXT.
01:07:20And the former North American champion, Ricky Saints, certainly has his hands full as all-ego Ethan Page continues to try to make Saints life hell.
01:07:32Ricky Saints battles the Vanity Project in a gauntlet match.
01:07:35Not to be outdone, an unlikely combo of sorts will team as TNA wrestler Joe Hendry and Mike Santana will meet the high-rise.
01:07:47There will be high stakes next week, live on NXT.
01:07:50And Tavion Heights, with talent blessed by the gods, will go one-on-one with Charlie Dempsey.
01:08:00But if Tavion Heights is victorious, he follows in the footsteps of Miles Bourne and leads no quarter catch crew.
01:08:08It's not over until I win.
01:08:26Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship, Jordan Grace.
01:08:36And guys, are we looking at the next face of the NXT Women's Division?
01:08:42Well, if you ask Jordan Grace, the answer is absolutely.
01:08:45Grace knows what it feels like to carry a Women's Division on her back prior to arriving in NXT.
01:08:51But all that matters is what happens in Atlanta at Evolution.
01:08:55I wanted to come out here tonight and be completely honest.
01:09:03Getting to this point is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do.
01:09:10But last week reminded me of something.
01:09:14It reminded me that I thrive under pressure.
01:09:19And the bigger the battle, the bigger the win.
01:09:23So now, I'm about to walk into Evolution, a historic premium live event.
01:09:33Not just for WWE, but for women's wrestling.
01:09:41And this time, I'm not watching from the sidelines.
01:09:46I'm a part of it.
01:09:47But for the sake of complete honesty, I have to be something that I'm honestly terrified of being.
01:10:10And that's vulnerable.
01:10:15Because I've been thinking a lot lately, asking myself,
01:10:19Am I actually good enough to be here?
01:10:30Do I really belong in the WWE?
01:10:34And a lot of you know my journey.
01:10:41You know that I didn't grow up saying that I was born to be a WWE superstar.
01:10:48But I did everything I had to do in order to get here.
01:11:00I became someone that they couldn't ignore.
01:11:10So at Evolution, I'm going to beat J.C. Jane and remind myself of exactly who I am.
01:11:20Because I may not have been born for this.
01:11:23All right, Jordan, are you done with this incredibly pitiful sob story of yours yet?
01:11:49But I mean, congratulations on making it the absolute highlight of your entire career.
01:11:58And I know, I know, I'm fully aware that you can bench press more than me.
01:12:05But you can't carry.
01:12:08In fact, you'll never carry this division the way I will.
01:12:12But by all means, continue flexing your muscles and hoping that one day a championship will just magically fall into your arms.
01:12:23But I can promise you, it won't be my NXT Women's Championship.
01:12:28And it damn sure won't be at Evolution.
01:12:30Because everyone wants to keep saying, I'm the most beatable champion in history.
01:12:37But unfortunately for all of you and all you idiots, I'm at the top of my game.
01:12:47Yeah, you can all keep crying about it.
01:12:50Keep crying about it while I keep winning.
01:12:53And while I'm on this subject, it reminds me, you and Blake Monroe, you seem to be cut from the same cloth.
01:13:05You think you can just walk up in here and everyone's going to bow down at your feet.
01:13:11But luckily for you, Fatal Influence will always be here to remind you exactly where you stand.
01:13:20Quick reality check, honey.
01:13:23At Evolution, why don't you just do everyone here a favor and shut up?
01:13:35You shocked the world when you won the NXT Women's Championship.
01:13:44But I'm not going to surprise anybody when I beat you.
01:13:47At Evolution, I'm going to become the NXT Women's.
01:13:53Oh, J.C. Jane hurt enough.
01:13:55Jordan Gray's looking to stand her ground.
01:13:57Gazanek doing the right thing, getting the hell out of Dodge.
01:14:00Certainly a numbers advantage now for Fatal Influence against the number one contender for J.C. Jane's Women's Championship.
01:14:09Alan Hanley and J.C. Jane delivering a message.
01:14:15She's here.
01:14:18Blake Monroe.
01:14:19The glamorous one.
01:14:22She was attacked in the same way two weeks ago here on NXT.
01:14:28Oh, yes.
01:14:31Blake Monroe getting her some right now.
01:14:34But for Jordan Gray's, all the pressure is on her back when she faces J.C. Jane for the NXT Women's Championship.
01:14:50Ladies, all right, clearly there's a lot.
01:14:55What is it?
01:14:56All right, all right, all right.
01:14:58J.C., J.C., J.C., J.C., J.C., calm.
01:15:02J.C., calm down and listen.
01:15:05Listen to what I have to say.
01:15:07Oh, I'm waiting.
01:15:08What I was going to say is, look, clearly you want something done about Jordan and Blake.
01:15:14And luckily for you, yours truly is already two steps ahead.
01:15:17Thank God.
01:15:18So, at the Great American Bash, it will be Fallon Henley and J.C. Jane against the team of Jordan Grace and Blake Monroe.
01:15:29What an unbelievable decision just made by our general manager.
01:15:41We're going to run it back.
