00:00I believe in Joe Hendricks, Joe Hendricks, Joe Hendricks, Joe Hendricks.
00:29He was waving.
00:38Alright now.
00:39As we get ready to settle in here, Trick, how are you preparing?
00:42Care to comment on Hendricks attack to you.
00:49Behind his back.
00:51It's holiday week.
00:53Right back in comes Wesley and Graves.
00:56Show him how you doing on the west side.
00:58Oh!
00:59His ass ain't going to the west side.
01:03As Hendricks took his eye off the ball.
01:06I'm here to make money.
01:07If you don't like me, that's your problem.
01:08Whoa!
01:09Covered a tear ball.
01:11He put on the brakes.
01:13Certainly did.
01:14Bang!
01:15Suplex.
01:16Trying to keep that momentum going.
01:18Wow!
01:19Always one to please the fans.
01:23Hendricks now hoisting up Lee.
01:26And look at this power!
01:27Oh!
01:28Beautiful awareness.
01:29Oh, wait a minute!
01:30It's Mike Santana!
01:31Oh, come on!
01:32Oh, come on!
01:33Oh, come on!
01:34Oh, come on!
01:35Oh, come on!
01:36Oh, come on!

01:41Come on, man.
01:44Joe
01:45Pantry.
01:49Williams staring at the two men
01:51that are looking to put an end.
01:53Needs the answer. We will hear
01:54from Luca Crucifino
01:56next.
01:57It's all about the business.
02:05Face an ambulance is not here
02:07in NXT.
02:09Tony D'Angelo has been questioning
02:11my loyalty since Stand and Deliver.
02:13I want to put this to rest, so
02:15please come out here.
02:17Oh, oh, oh,
02:19everybody, look at this.
02:21My consigliere
02:23is calling me out here.
02:25How the tables have turned, Luca.
02:27Tony, you seem to think that everyone's
02:29against you. See, last week
02:30you screwed me in my
02:33Heritage Cup match. You're the one
02:35who hit me in the face first.
02:37Tony, I gave you the respect to
02:39listen to you. Now you're going to listen
02:41to me. I've turned down and given up
02:43everything that I've done up to this
02:45point. You know, without a doubt
02:47that I have never done a damn thing
02:49to doubt you, Tony.
02:51That's loyalty.
02:54Luca,
02:55Luca,
02:56I wouldn't be standing here
02:58your Heritage Cup champion.
03:00Listen to me, this is exactly
03:02what I'm talking about.
03:03Hey, Luca,
03:04shut the hell up!
03:06This is between me
03:07and my consigliere.
03:08Oh!
03:10How do you let that
03:11fuck me in the face?
03:15And loyalty lies
03:17with Luca Crucifino.
03:19The dancers
03:20here on NXT.
03:22Obafemi, later tonight
03:25we see Yoshiki Inomura
03:26battle Jasper Troy
03:28for the opportunity
03:28at the Great American Bash
03:29for your NXT championship.
03:31So do you have any
03:31predictions or preference?
03:33I just want to see
03:33if he has the grit
03:34and the tenacity
03:35to get past Jasper Troy.
03:37And you might think
03:37that as a champion
03:38and I just want to see
03:39them destroy each other
03:40so the challenge
03:40can be easy
03:41at the Great American Bash.
03:42But no, no, no, no, no.
03:43I want to see.
03:45Tonight,
03:46I show you grit.
03:47I show you tenacity
03:48for the biggest test.
03:51Josh,
03:52why don't you tell
03:52your boy to be ready?
03:54Championship's changing hands.
03:55There's one constant
03:56and that is Obafemi.
03:58I am the hunter
03:59and the bigger name
04:01I put down
04:01the more prestigious
04:02my reign becomes.
04:03I'll be seeing
04:04the winner very soon.
04:06See you
04:06at the bash.
04:13Lexus King!
04:15King goes one-on-one
04:18with Miles Bourne.
04:19Miles Bourne!
04:22He said there was
04:23a lot of similarities.
04:24They had a lone wolf mentality.
04:26We've seen flashes
04:27of greatness
04:27from Miles Bourne
04:28but can he sustain it?
04:30Fan of Lexus King,
04:31do you see?
04:31I really can't say
04:32but I can't say
04:33this is camera man.
04:34King though is always
04:35Here's Miles Bourne.
04:36Somebody listen to the stepper.
04:38Graves, did you see
04:39Byron Saxon
04:40sneaking around here
04:41all day today
04:42trying to get
04:42a football sign?
04:43I think it's Miles Bourne
04:44that's not got a lot of talent.
04:45But I wonder,
04:46was it a mistake?
04:47Doesn't look to be that way.
04:48Tip of the cap there
04:49to Saffer.
04:50I'll let you defend that
04:51later on on social media.
04:52Oh, and right now
04:53from Bourne
04:55and answering back
04:56on a drop kick.
04:57Looking for maybe
04:58a super
04:59blast.
05:01Yes, I would be
05:01taking advice.
05:02Yes, I would.
05:04Graves is a different side
05:05and looks is King.
05:07These two just do not like
05:08this.
05:08Sometimes that's what it takes
05:09though.
05:10Oh, no.
05:11And now Bourne
05:12trying to fire back
05:13King in all types
05:13of trouble right now.
05:15Tomorrow winner will face
05:17over the NXT
05:18maybe looking for that
05:19Olympic slam
05:20to the leg
05:21for the victory
05:22and an earpaw.
05:23I said that.
05:23I said that.
05:23I said that.
05:23King going to the eyes.
05:25I was born as an opponent
05:26in QCC
05:27and that could have been
05:28a mistake for the pal.
05:29Oh, ho, ho, ho.
05:30Big drop kick.
05:31And
05:32Bam!
05:33Oh, ho, ho, ho.
05:34And Bourne proves
05:36he didn't.
05:36Delegating with his friends
05:38with them sort of gators.
05:39NXT's been nothing but chaos
05:41since Dark State popped out.
05:42Now we got Noah Wrestler
05:43gunning for the NXT title.
05:44Everything that's going on
05:45around here
05:45because Dark State allows it.
05:47Chaos is our game.
05:48I might as well get used to
05:50because if we catch y'all lacking
05:52there ain't no saving you, bud.
05:54I think I know
05:55where we finna go next
05:56but y'all don't.
05:59I'm a grown-ass woman.
06:03Nia Hale!
06:06Nia Hale getting ready
06:07to take on Lainey Reed
06:08next.
06:10Lainey Reed!
06:12After she stood toe-to-toe
06:14with the NXT Women's Champion.
06:15Can it exceed that?
06:17Oh, yes!
06:19On the topic of Jane
06:20she faces Jordan Grace
06:21the great American basher.
06:24Nia Hale Graves
06:25I understand the frustration
06:26of Nia Hale
06:27who right now
06:28is just unloading it.
06:29And you're right
06:30Jada Parker
06:30let's call it what it is.
06:32A wake-up call of sorts
06:34for someone like Nia Hale.
06:35Nia Hale trying to counter
06:36but instead got
06:37Dreen Reed followed by
06:39Jaren Sucre.
06:40I see something that Lainey Reed
06:41look at that.
06:42Blue and the boom
06:43I love it, man.
06:44No, I love it, man.
06:46No, Grey is snot
06:47on the side of your head.
06:48Deep is the NXT Women's Division
06:50when you truly look at it
06:51all joking aside.
06:52Hop up.
06:53It's a great problem
06:54to have.
06:54It's a deep win.
06:55You said Thea gets played
06:57like a fiddle.
06:58Thea Hale specifically that
06:59is powerful.
07:01Oh, wow!
07:02Hook of the leg
07:03and somehow
07:04Thea Hale last week
07:06also admitted that
07:07adulting is hard.
07:08These deals.
07:09They focus.
07:10And Thea charging right in.
07:11It's a seemingly endless
07:13amount of energy.
07:14She's frenetic.
07:15She's frantic.
07:15In bursts.
07:16In spurts.
07:17Rather than just
07:18Night Laney, though.
07:18Oh, taking the feet out
07:20into the cover.
07:21Big ref, ref!
07:22Got caught the last time.
07:23The shading crew here tonight.
07:25Oh!
07:26Oh, word.
07:27But...
07:27Hey, hey!
07:28He was
07:29Reed holding the ropes.
07:31It appeared Thea had her hand.
07:32We know he's bouncing.
07:33Yeah, but Tavia,
07:34you were so close
07:35to beating Javon last week.
07:36I'm glad you're still in the group.
07:37Yeah, well, imagine
07:38having a face mask
07:39going the whole time.
07:39Dasper ended up doing to Javon.
07:41Wasn't that what he...
07:42And you didn't.
07:43And look what happened.
07:44Still need more time
07:45in the NQCC.
07:46Does it, Charlie?
07:47Yes, it does.
07:48Look, I'm not making
07:48no excuses, all right?
07:49I lost.
07:50I want the exact deal
07:51you offered Miles.
07:52A one-on-one match against you.
07:54Right?
07:54Thank you very much, Ren.
07:55I can hear you.
07:56You're right next to me.
07:57You really want that match so bad?
07:58Fine.
07:59But here's the thing.
08:00This conversation we're having,
08:01it's not happening again.
08:09We're going to have a tag team match
08:12between all four of these women
08:14next on NXT.
08:15The NXT locker room
08:16lives in fear of Obafemi.
08:18He's dominant.
08:19He's invincible.
08:20But did he look that way
08:21when he was in the ring with me?
08:22The NXT champion
08:23barely survived.
08:25And now I'm only one match away
08:26from the rematch that I want.
08:28Because he knows what's waiting
08:29at the bash
08:30if I get my hand raised tonight.
08:32And Obafemi,
08:33you may be backed by destiny.
08:35Your destiny is mine.
08:37Ultimately prevail.
08:38Prevail.
08:39Prevail.
08:40Look, I'm not one for conspiracies,
08:43but last weekend
08:44to try and help Tatum Paxley.
08:47The broken.
08:48That's where Tatum Paxley is.
08:50How did we see this coming?
08:52Sorry, it's on Izzy.
08:53However you want to call it,
08:54but there's some of that teamwork there.
08:56Keep your friends close.
08:57Keep your enemies closer.
08:59Great minds.
09:00Great minds.
09:00Still to come,
09:01we will hear from the
09:02Grace Jane WWE Evolution.
09:05This is for teamwork for me.
09:06First time team.
09:08Bringing of sorts
09:09some dowels
09:11to Tatum Paxley.
09:12Control of this matchup
09:13tagging right back in.
09:15Champion the last time.
09:17Loading over is the champion
09:18into a kickout.
09:19Coming up in Atlanta.
09:21But Saul Ruka
09:21thinking in this match
09:22they don't want to hurt.
09:23Found one in Izzy Dame
09:24and Izzy Dame
09:26has just found somebody
09:27to use at the end of the day.
09:29Really subjective.
09:30What do you mean?
09:31Tore the family apart.
09:33Someone who was able to
09:34get Sean Spears,
09:35the North American Championships.
09:36To someone who was down
09:37on their luck.
09:38A little motivation.
09:39Izzy Dame into the cover.
09:40Hooks the leg.
09:42And above all else,
09:43soliloquy.
09:44Gloves.
09:45Ketchup.
09:46Popsicle.
09:47These women are...
09:49They're trying to save her.
09:50They're trying to help her.
09:51Oh, Tate of Paxley.
09:52And a kickout.
09:53Wilson's joining the cover.
09:54Oh, Izzy Dame.
09:55I will call her the leader.
09:57Oh, no.
09:58If she can get a win tonight.
10:01One more time.
10:01Third boy.
10:02Time to chime right down on Izzy Dame.
10:05Now look at the power of Zaria.
10:07Just tossing out.
10:08Until this moment.
10:10And oh.
10:11What do you think the rest
10:12of the Culling thinks of Tatum?
10:14I think they're thinking of...
10:15Nice counter by Tatum.
10:16And Tatum with a nice drop.
10:18Actually could mean for the Culling.
10:20We see them grow stronger.
10:21They're switching.
10:22This is tremendous teamwork.
10:24Beautiful teamwork.
10:25From Izzy and Tatum.
10:26Diabolical.
10:27Stronger.
10:27In recent weeks.
10:28Izzy gifted some dolls to Tatum.
10:30It was symbolic.
10:32Oh.
10:32Oh.
10:33That was symbolic too.
10:34I feel like if I bought you a tube
10:35or you're...
10:36Look at Tatum.
10:36Oh, baby.
10:38This is a man who's been there.
10:40Just put in the information.
10:42Ways.
10:43Oh.
10:43Yes.
10:45Tag was made.
10:46Izzy Dame back in.
10:47And this...
10:47Uh-oh.
10:48And they got the knees up just in time.
10:50Tag had in her own ways
10:52to turn the tables in this matchup.
10:54Yes.
10:54Running right back around.
10:56Wow.
10:56Right to the face.
10:57Unique tag for Zaria.
10:58But nonetheless,
10:59working like a wild machine.
11:01Zaria now has Izzy scooped up.
11:04Going for the big...
11:05This could be the Culling time.
11:07Oh, man.
11:08It's legal for her team.
11:09And run it up the back.
11:11Haxley, we've never seen before.
11:13And I hate to admit it up until now.
11:16Oh, you're going for a picture.
11:16Oh, no.
11:17Oh, breaker by Izzy.
11:18And you know Izzy right now.
11:20And...
11:20Oh, Unique.
11:22Oh.
11:22Tatum just saved Izzy.
11:25That's not what...
11:26Her true colors.
11:28Who she sided with.
11:29She's conniving.
11:30She's not crazy.
11:31She's crazy like a...
11:32Oh, baby.
11:33It's sit-down style.
11:34And Izzy just pinned.
11:37Zaruca looking up in heartbreak
11:39of Izzy and Tatum
11:41and the Culling.
11:43Would love if we could have a civil conversation.
11:46Ain't nothing civil about this.
11:47This is going to be man to man.
11:49Damn sure don't need the peanut gallery here.
11:50I want my rematch.
11:52A smidge of respect for the...
11:54Vanity Project.
11:55Re-match goes Ricky.
11:59Illegal Ethan Page is the North American champion.
12:02Going forward, I will be dictating
12:03every single thing about this championship.
12:06Hundo's.
12:07I am a fighting champion
12:09and in a fantastic mood.
12:10So you can earn a shot at this championship
12:12if you survive the Vanity Project gauntlet.
12:18You okay?
12:19You can't do...
12:19Sorry.
12:22Can't do that to me.
12:22No, I don't mind playing this little game of yours
12:28because when I beat the gauntlet,
12:30I get to dictate the stipulation for a modern rematch.
12:34I love that.
12:35Next week will be Ricky Saints
12:36versus the Vanity Project
12:38and the Vanity Project gauntlet match.
12:40Uriah, you made me realize
12:42it might be time for this old dog.
12:44I want to apologize.
12:46Tough love is the only way that I know.
12:47Hell, when I heard Kel call out for me
12:49the day that I emptied out my classroom.
12:50So, Kel, next week, I got you a singles match.
12:54Hey!
12:55I do want to be better
12:56if you boys will allow it.
12:57Apology accepted.
12:59Bring it in.
12:59A hug?
13:00Bring it in.
13:01You're good.
13:01Hey, Mr. Chase, it's never too late to grow.
13:03Just promise that you'll listen to me
13:06and show them that you are
13:07f***ing Chase Utah!
13:09Bro!
13:10Yes!
13:13Mike, I appreciate you coming out
13:15and helping to take care of high-rise, but...
13:17You and I are throwing hands
13:18in two and a half weeks at Slammiversary
13:20that we're united
13:21when it comes to defending TNA
13:22against guys like Trick.
13:24You two will be teaming up next week
13:26to take on high-rise.
13:27But you know what?
13:28That doesn't matter.
13:28We're completely different people,
13:30but that's a quest
13:31to bring back
13:32the TNA World Championship.
13:34Don't get too excited
13:35that Joe's a cornball.
13:37He reps TNA to the max.
13:39But let me make something
13:40real clear to you, Joe.
13:41I'm going to be the one
13:42that's bringing the TNA World title
13:44back home where it belongs.
13:46So get ready for Slammiversary.
13:48The Great American Bash,
13:49which will play host
13:49to the contract signing
13:50of these two men
13:51and Trick Williams.
13:53Back to you, Vic.
13:54For what is going to be a fight.
13:57JASPER TRY YOSHIKI
14:08BELIEVES HE HAS UNFINISHED BUSINESS AS WELL.
14:15This is the biggest meal I'm about to eat.
14:18That's what he's doing.
14:19I think the sky is the limit.
14:22Use a cliche.
14:23JASPER TRY
14:24300 pounds
14:25and that's down from 330.
14:28That tells me.
14:29It was Inomoro who went back to Japan
14:31only to realize
14:32that now he's taking it to Troy.
14:34As for Troy,
14:35Ioba has yet to mix it up properly.
14:37Graves is this
14:39where you're just alluding to.
14:40Just watch and learn, my friend.
14:41Not taking a break.
14:42Yeah, and there it goes.
14:43Inomoro coming back in.
14:45Oh, no.
14:46Big sidewalk slam.
14:49Ooh.
14:51Fight with someone
14:52who shares his warrior spirit.
14:54And these two...
14:56Incredible physicality on both sides.
14:58Here comes Troy.
14:59With the trigger.
15:00Oh, yes, man.
15:01I'm at the gate.
15:02Jasper Troy told the universe
15:04the day he signed him.
15:05They go, Inomoro finally breaks the hole.
15:08He recomposed himself.
15:10I don't necessarily think this is...
15:11I agree with that.
15:12But wait a minute.
15:13Wait a minute.
15:13Someone out of a horror movie
15:14coming right back in
15:16and this is where that demolition...
15:17Whoa, bam!
15:19And Inomoro...
15:21Jasper Troy with...
15:23This man's gonna follow up.
15:24Oh, another splash.
15:26Oh!
15:27Showing either even...
15:29He can't do it.
15:30No way.
15:31He just did.
15:32And B and Shipp.
15:33Round and round they go.
15:35For that bomb.
15:36He's gonna try to drop it out.
15:38Nailed it!
15:39Three!
15:40Three!

15:54We will hear from the number one contender herself,
15:57Jordan Grace.
15:58NXT Tag Team Championships
16:00on the line live.
16:01Ricky Saints battles the Vanity Project
16:03in a gauntlet match.
16:09Knows what it feels like
16:14to carry a women's division on her back.
16:17I wanted to come out here tonight
16:19and be completely honest.
16:21Getting to this point
16:22is the hardest thing
16:24that I've ever had to do.
16:26But last week reminded me of something.
16:28It reminded me
16:29that I thrive under pressure.
16:31And the bigger the battle,
16:33the bigger the win.
16:35So now I'm about to walk into evolution,
16:37a historic premium live event.
16:40This time,
16:41I'm not watching from the sidelines.
16:44I'm a part of it.
16:45I'm going to make history.
16:47I have to be something
16:48that I'm honestly terrified of being.
16:51Because I've been thinking a lot lately,
16:52asking myself,
16:54am I actually good enough to be here?
16:57Do I really belong in the WWE?
17:01You know that I didn't grow up.
17:04But I did everything.
17:05I became someone
17:08that they couldn't ignore.
17:10I'm going to beat JC Jane
17:12and remind myself
17:13of exactly who I am.
17:15Are you done with this incredibly pitiful
17:18sob story of yours yet?
17:20Fully aware that you can
17:22bench press more than me.
17:24You'll never carry this division
17:26the way I will.
17:28And it damn sure
17:29won't be at evolution.
17:31I'm the most beatable champion in history.
17:33All of you and all you idiots.
17:36I'm at the top of my game.
17:39Yeah, you can all keep crying about it.
17:41You and Blake Monroe,
17:43you seem to be cut from the same cloth.
17:46Walk up in here
17:47and everyone's going to bow down at your feet.
17:50Quick reality check, honey.
17:52Do everyone here a favor
17:54and shut up.
17:55But I'm not going to surprise anybody
17:58when I beat you.
17:59At Evolution,
18:00I'm going to become the NXT.
18:03Oh!
18:04Daisy Jane hurt enough
18:05in her ground.
18:07But Jasmine X doing the right thing.
18:08Certainly a numbers advantage
18:10against the number one contender
18:12championship.
18:14Alan Henley and J...
18:15She's here!
18:17The glamorous one!
18:19She was attacked in the same year on NXT.
18:22Oh, yeah!
18:25Blake Monroe getting her some...
18:27Oh, the pressure is on her back
18:30when she faces...
18:31Ladies!
18:33All right.
18:33All right.
18:34All right.
18:35All right.
18:35JC, JC, JC, calm.
18:38JC, calm down.
18:40Listen to what I have to say.
18:42At the Great American Bash,
18:44it will be Fallon Henley
18:45and JC Jane
18:47against Jordan Grace
18:49and Blake Monroe.
