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.

00:02:04Well, as 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 in London and Paris and Tokyo.

00:02:59And his opponent, from Meta for 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, Graves, is Hendry's aggressive nature

00:03:43due to things that have been said to him or about him inside that TNA locker room?

00:03:48Listen, 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.

00:04:05He 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.

00:04:12That's right.

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, no, that must have been a producer in your head.

00:04:22Okay, I 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.

00:04:32Yourself, 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.

00:04:48I'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 hit 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 the damn locker room?

00:05:20If this guy just walked away and just left everybody, what would you be saying?

00:05:24I'd probably just be happy to be there.

00:05:26If you were the damn locker room, just that right there.

00:05:29Well, it's not as if Hendry hasn't tried.

00:05:32Mike Santana lost to first class.

00:05:34We saw what happened to Elijah.

00:05:36Trick, do you care to comment on Hendry'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 need 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 Hendry 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, buddy.

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?

00:06:25No doubt about it.

00:06:25None more so than in this moment, drop-kicking Henry into our announce desk.

00:06:30Listen, Wes Lee has been on the record multiple times about how hungry he is, about how he

00:06:34wants to be in the main event.

00:06:36He wants to be the conversation in NXT.

00:06:38Show him how you're doing the west side, though.

00:06:40Show him how you're doing the west side.

00:06:42Oh!

00:06:43He just got back to the east side, the south side, the north side.

00:06:47His ass ain't going to the west side.

00:06:49Keep going to the west side.

00:06:49Keep going to the team.

00:06:52Keep going to the team.

00:06:53Keep going to the team.

00:06:54Back on NXT.

00:06:57Joe Hendry, 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.

00:07:13They're 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.

00:07:29Right, wrong or indifferent.

00:07:30We've seen how some people have looked at you.

00:07:31In your opinion, how has the TNA locker room 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's athleticism covering a year.

00:07:44If I ask you a question like that, you know the rule.

00:07:47Checks in 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 got to 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.

00:08:23But a big pump kick from Wesley rocking Joe Hendry.

00:08:27Got Hendry right under the jaw.

00:08:28Around 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!

00:08:37Suplex 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

00:08:46a Joe Hendry, it'll be a different competitor, a more hungry Hendry than before?

00:08:50Oh, yeah, look.

00:08:50If I did it once, I'm going to 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.

00:09:06Bam!

00:09:07Going.

00:09:07Big clothesline.

00:09:09And Joe Hendry all fired up.

00:09:14Wow!

00:09:14Look 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 car.

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?

00:09:30I hear you, huh?

00:09:31I hear you, huh?

00:09:34Looking for the standing ovation.

00:09:35Oasing up Lee.

00:09:36Able to counter for him.

00:09:37And Andrew's back with a ride of his own.

00:09:41Take that with you.

00:09:42That body shot rocked Hendry.

00:09:44Let's go, Joe!

00:09:46He was a weak in Joe Hendry.

00:09:48Hendry now hoisted 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 bow.

00:09:58And go!

00:09:59Yeah, saved by Tyson and Tyreek with Wes Lee.

00:10:06Beautiful awareness there by Wes Lee.

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.

00:10:17Wait a minute.

00:10:17Tyson, Tyreek might be getting a little too close.

00:10:19Wait a minute.

00:10:20It's Mike Santana.

00:10:22Come on.

00:10:22Mike Santana.

00:10:24What the hell is he doing?

00:10:26Santana evening the odds.

00:10:28Swing and a miss by Wes Lee.

00:10:30And now Joe Hendry giving Lee a standing.

00:10:34Oh, bullshit!

00:10:36Oh, hell no.

00:10:37Not like this.

00:10:38Not like this.

00:10:39One, two, three.

00:10:39Come on, man.

00:10:44Here'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 at the closing 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 Wes Lee with a standing ovation.

00:11:16And Trick Williams, you better be ready because you've got two hungry stars gunning for your goal.

00:11:24Williams staring at the two men that are looking to put an end to Trick and Ed.

00:11:30I 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.

00:11:49Why 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.

00:12:08And 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? I'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.

00:12:31I think she's right.

00:12:38Well, Sol and Zaria have tried to help Tatum, but she didn't want to listen.

00:12:44Tag team action still to come here tonight.

00:12:50And 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.

00:12:59Combo and individual event tickets for SummerSlam

00:13:08and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey

00:13:10on Saturday, August the 2nd, and Sunday, August the 3rd

00:13:14are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

00:13:21It's all about family.

00:13:24It's all about the business.

00:13:26And here comes a man who has some explaining to do.

00:13:40Ladies 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.

00:13:56Crucifino'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.

00:14:09Tony 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.

00:14:21Watch out!

00:14:22Oh, that's a mighty bold move.

00:14:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:14:34Everybody, look at this.

00:14:37My consigliere is calling me out here.

00:14:41Oh, the tables have turned, Luca.

00:14:54Tony, 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.

00:15:01See, last week, you screwed me in my Heritage Cup match and served it on a platter for stats.

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.

00:15:41Loyalty 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.

00:15:52I'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?

00:16:11That's loyalty.

00:16:23Luca, 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.

00:16:39Shut 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!

00:16:55Oh, 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.

00:17:05Me 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 here 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?

00:17:40Well, 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.

00:18:05Obafemi, 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.

00:19:51And 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, Lexus King.

00:21:31You've got to give this guy a lot of credit.

00:21:33I mean, I've been here with you.

00:21:34And in my opinion, what is best right now?

00:21:37Who's holding his own?

00:21:38If you smile, boy, somebody let me just step up.

00:21:40Look at that.

00:21:41You're going to take me.

00:21:42Oh, my God.

00:21:43There you see more.

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 trying to get the football

00:21:55signed 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 stepping away from me at QCC?

00:22:12Well, certainly right now, it doesn't look to be that way.

00:22:14It took the cap there to Saffer Cummings Jr. here, front row.

00:22:17Got everybody in the NXT universe doing the Florida Gator chomp when half the people here

00:22:21haven'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 kick.

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 the star of all television?

00:22:39Of all television, man.

00:22:40I'm talking about all over the world.

00:22:42This guy, look at the jawline.

00:22:43Look at the jawline.

00:22:44This guy, you can tell he's been working on his body.

00:22:47And right now, he's working over Miles Moran.

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 Moran.

00:23:01Can we please give Lexus King a little bit of credit?

00:23:04All right, well, let me take this for you.

00:23:05You want to give him credit?

00:23:05Here's your chance to do it.

00:23:06Is Lexus King in position to be giving someone like the University of Florida Gators or even

00:23:11Miles Moran advice?

00:23:13Look, if it's a guy that went to the point that this guy had winning the Heritage Cup

00:23:18championship, and right now that's just the tip of the iceberg, yes, I would be taking

00:23:21advice from him.

00:23:22Yes, I would.

00:23:23King charging in.

00:23:25Big knife-edge.

00:23:26Certainly, though, Graves, is a different side of Lexus King than we've seen in the

00:23:32past.

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

00:23:37to him.

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 analysis and precision from the star of all

00:23:46television, Lexus King.

00:23:47How am I doing?

00:23:48Not you, too.

00:23:49I answered 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.

00:23:55Lexus King, oh, he just went up top, and now they're just starting to turn into a sludge

00:24:01mess, because these two just do not like the show.

00:24:03Sometimes it's what it takes, though.

00:24:04Oh, no.

00:24:04Just let it get ugly.

00:24:06Start throwing hands.

00:24:07Throw some illegal blows there, too, by Miles Boyd.

00:24:09Roughly, just let it go.

00:24:13I like that.

00:24:14You 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, to

00:24:37the 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.

00:24:47Nice 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.

00:25:05How can Miles flourish on his own?

00:25:07No, I said that.

00:25:08I said that.

00:25:09King going to the eyes.

00:25:10Miles Boyd is in a perfect position to step out on his arm.

00:25:12But like I said, leaving in QGC, that could have been a mistake.

00:25:16Sometimes you need pals.

00:25:17Sometimes you need buddies in this position.

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.

00:25:24Buddies.

00:25:25Big drop.

00:25:26Kick, though, from Miles Boyd.

00:25:28Under the jaw.

00:25:29King is rock.

00:25:31Gators are chomping.

00:25:32Boyd is focused.

00:25:33And bam, dropping Lexus King center of the ring.

00:25:39And Boyd proves he didn't need the advice.

00:25:44Here is your winner, Miles Boyd.

00:25:49What a win for Miles Boyd, who continues to build momentum in NXT.

00:25:56Celebrating with his friends and the Florida Gators.

00:25:59Let's go.

00:26:00Let's take a look.

00:26:01And the next level, athleticism of Miles Boyd.

00:26:06Dropkick 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 Boyd.

00:26:17And Miles ready to prove that hard work indeed pays off in NXT.

00:26:23Let's go.

00:26:29NXT's been nothing but chaos since Darkstate popped out.

00:26:31We got an NXT superstar as TNA champ.

00:26:34Now we got 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 up.

00:26:40Man, all I'm saying is everything that's going on around here,

00:26:43because Darkstate 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.

00:26:52Because 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're going to go next.

00:27:06But y'all don't.

00:27:07I'm a grown-ass woman.

00:27:17The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:27:28Introducing that 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.

00:27:44The Hale getting ready to take on Lainey Reed.

00:27:47Next.

00:27:52Welcome back to NXT.

00:27:59And her opponent from Gatsby, Alabama.

00:28:03Lainey Reed.

00:28:06As Booker fans himself to cool himself down,

00:28:09Graves, how impressed with Reed were you

00:28:12after she stood toe-to-toe

00:28:14with the NXT Women's Champion,

00:28:16JC James?

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 James,

00:28:25and was 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 is looking to become the biggest,

00:28:33the largest,

00:28:34here in NXT, man.

00:28:35Oh, 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.

00:28:53Tia Hale, Graves,

00:28:55is there part of you

00:28:56that thinks Thea got the short end

00:28:57of the stick?

00:28:58Remember, she did

00:28:59tap out Jada Parker.

00:29:01Listen, I understand the frustration

00:29:03of Tia Hale,

00:29:04who right now is just unloading.

00:29:05It appears as though

00:29:07Thea 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,

00:29:13outstrategized,

00:29:14outsmarted Thea,

00:29:15but right now Thea on a mission

00:29:16into the cover,

00:29:16hooked the leg.

00:29:18Oh, Booker,

00:29:18if you go back

00:29:19to what Graves is talking about,

00:29:20is that sort of a

00:29:21wake-up call of sorts

00:29:23for someone like Thea Hale?

00:29:24I mean, I think it is

00:29:24because,

00:29:25I mean, right now Thea Hale,

00:29:28I mean, she's her worst enemy.

00:29:29Right now she 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 shot the hole,

00:29:39though.

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 kill her,

00:29:45but instead got dropped.

00:29:46Base first by Reed.

00:29:48Reed followed.

00:29:48I see something

00:29:50that Lainey reads.

00:29:51She's got that impact.

00:29:52She's looking at these

00:29:53big, big star here,

00:29:55and then he's looking at

00:29:56what's blowing the boom.

00:29:57I love it, man.

00:29:58Southern sensation

00:29:59certainly turning heads

00:30:01very, very quickly

00:30:02here in NXT.

00:30:03You see that?

00:30:04You see that?

00:30:05You see that boom

00:30:06right to the snout?

00:30:07I love it, man.

00:30:08The greatest snout

00:30:09on the side of your head.

00:30:11They're in the ear, Book.

00:30:13He's just excited right now.

00:30:14I can tell.

00:30:14Snout region.

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's fanning himself

00:30:19when we started the thing.

00:30:20Graves, how deep

00:30:21is the NXT women's division

00:30:23when you truly look at it

00:30:24all joke in the side?

00:30:24I mean, I don't think

00:30:26I can state it adequately enough.

00:30:28I mean, every time

00:30:28one star goes to Raw

00:30:29or SmackDown,

00:30:30you've got, it seems like

00:30:31three more pop 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 taking her time.

00:30:40And last week, Booker,

00:30:41it was Reed who said,

00:30:42Thea gets played like a fiddle.

00:30:44I'm sure you agree.

00:30:45Not only that,

00:30:46Lainey Reed,

00:30:47she stepped in right 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, 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.

00:31:03Hey, Gravy,

00:31:04is Reed right with the things

00:31:06she has said about Thea Hale,

00:31:07specifically that

00:31:08she hasn't changed

00:31:09one bit since we've been chasing you?

00:31:11Oh, take a look at this.

00:31:12Powerful.

00:31:13Oh, wow.

00:31:14Shoulder breaker.

00:31:16Executed excellently

00:31:17into a cover hook 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 has changed

00:31:40about her strategy

00:31:40or her approach to the ring.

00:31:42Oh, Thea Hale last week

00:31:44who also

00:31:44admitted that adulting is hard.

00:31:48The locker room is mean

00:31:49as she's trying to 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 Aiden I'm a woman

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 by Laney Reed

00:32:14getting that inside shoulder up.

00:32:16Listen, in my opinion,

00:32:17I think Thea needs to take

00:32:18what she has,

00:32:19which is a seemingly

00:32:20endless amount of energy.

00:32:21She'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,

00:32:26some spurts rather

00:32:27than just non-stop chaos,

00:32:29it might serve Thea well

00:32:31in the future.

00:32:31All right now,

00:32:32Laney Reed again.

00:32:34Looking for some

00:32:34high-impact offense.

00:32:35Countered by Thea Hale.

00:32:36Hale charging right back in.

00:32:37We've seen this in the past.

00:32:38Oh, wait a minute.

00:32:39Blocking 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,

00:32:47nice job by our official.

00:32:49Thea Hale

00:32:50got caught the last time.

00:32:52That was smart.

00:32:52And right from behind,

00:32:54Thea Hale this time.

00:32:55Rolling up center of the ring.

00:32:57And ooh.

00:32:58Good job by our

00:32:59officiating crew here tonight.

00:33:01Oh!

00:33:02That's it.

00:33:03That's it.

00:33:04Word, but...

00:33:05Hey, hey, hey!

00:33:08What the...

00:33:09A huge gold winner,

00:33:11Laney Reed!

00:33:13You were so eager

00:33:13to tattle last time.

00:33:15Why don't you get

00:33:15our official's attention?

00:33:17Got to admit,

00:33:18it not only was

00:33:19Reed holding the ropes,

00:33:21it appeared Thea had her hand

00:33:22This is a shocking upset.

00:33:24Look at the sticks, man.

00:33:25You know that.

00:33:29The cover of the damn

00:33:29turnbaker,

00:33:30they bring everything...

00:33:31That's why they say

00:33:31that boy is bouncing.

00:33:33I know he really bounced.

00:33:34We know he's bouncing.

00:33:35Yeah, but Tavion,

00:33:35you were so close

00:33:36to beating Javon last week

00:33:37and selfishly,

00:33:38I'm glad you're still

00:33:39in 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 to do to him?

00:33:48And you didn't.

00:33:49And look what happened.

00:33:50You lost,

00:33:51which just proves my point

00:33:52that you still need

00:33:53more time in 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.

00:34:05I don't think you want

00:34:07to 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.

00:34:11Right.

00:34:11Thank you very much, Ren.

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.

00:34:58The 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 women's

00:35:13North American champion

00:35:14Sol Kruka.

00:35:19We can call it

00:35:21any way we want to.

00:35:22This duo took matters

00:35:24into their own hands

00:35:25to try and help Tatum

00:35:28last week.

00:35:29Paxley prefers, though,

00:35:31her new friend

00:35:32for another tag team match

00:35:34between all four

00:35:35of these women

00:35:35next on NXT.

00:35:38Rep your squad.

00:35:41The NXT locker room

00:35:43lives in fear

00:35:43of Obafemi.

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.

00:35:54And 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's rooting for

00:36:01Inamora

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.

00:36:07Inamora,

00:36:08I'm going through you.

00:36:09And Obafemi,

00:36:10you may be backed

00:36:11by destiny,

00:36:12but your destiny

00:36:13is mine.

00:36:14Truth will

00:36:16ultimately prevail.

00:36:19But there's pain

00:36:20bringing it to light.

00:36:22To light.

00:36:23And the reporters,

00:36:43the team are

00:36:43Tatum Paxley

00:36:44and the current

00:36:46Izzy Day!

00:36:49Look, I'm not one

00:36:50for conspiracies,

00:36:52but all signs

00:36:53are pointing

00:36:54to the culling

00:36:54taking out

00:36:56the NXT Tag Team

00:36:57champions

00:36:58Hank and Tank

00:36:59last week.

00:37:00But we also saw

00:37:01Tatum Paxley

00:37:02get carried away

00:37:03by Zal Ruka

00:37:04last weekend

00:37:05to try and help

00:37:07Tatum Paxley.

00:37:08So Graves,

00:37:08I toss it to you.

00:37:10Who do you think

00:37:10is more trustworthy?

00:37:12Izzy Dayme

00:37:13or Sol Ruka

00:37:15and Zarya?

00:37:15I don't know

00:37:16if trustworthy

00:37:17is the word

00:37:18that I would use,

00:37:19but let's talk

00:37:19about the culling.

00:37:20Let's be honest.

00:37:21They prey on the weak

00:37:22and the broken.

00:37:23That's where

00:37:24Tatum Paxley is.

00:37:25That's where she belongs.

00:37:28And while we're at it,

00:37:29to be perfectly honest,

00:37:30I don't know

00:37:30if I trust

00:37:31anything about Zarya.

00:37:33To me,

00:37:34she's just riding

00:37:34the coattails

00:37:35of Sol Ruka.

00:37:36And for some reason

00:37:37she's trying to convince

00:37:38Sol that they're

00:37:38best friends.

00:37:40But trust me,

00:37:40trust me,

00:37:41mark my words,

00:37:42somewhere down the line

00:37:43we're going to be

00:37:44talking about

00:37:44how did we see

00:37:45this coming?

00:37:46Zarya is going to

00:37:47stick it to Sol Ruka.

00:37:48You ever have a

00:37:49conversation with Zarya?

00:37:50Nope.

00:37:51Well,

00:37:51where are you

00:37:52jumping to conclude?

00:37:53Whoa,

00:37:53wait a minute.

00:37:58Zarya is going to

00:37:58is he coming in

00:37:59sticking up for her,

00:38:00well I guess her friend,

00:38:02however you want to call it,

00:38:03but there's some of that

00:38:03teamwork there,

00:38:05Graves,

00:38:05from Zarya.

00:38:06I never said they

00:38:07weren't an effective team,

00:38:08I just said you couldn't

00:38:09trust her.

00:38:10Well,

00:38:10they got a very strong bond

00:38:11and stronger,

00:38:12don't you think though,

00:38:13since Sol's win over the,

00:38:14for the women's

00:38:15North American title,

00:38:16or do you think

00:38:17it's because Zarya

00:38:17has eyes on that championship?

00:38:19Yeah,

00:38:20let's take another look

00:38:21at this exchange right here,

00:38:22this fantastic teamwork

00:38:24as it was,

00:38:25but you're 100% right,

00:38:27Vic,

00:38:27keep your friends close,

00:38:29keep your enemies closer,

00:38:30Zarya looks at that

00:38:31North American championship

00:38:32some kind of way.

00:38:34You ain't lying,

00:38:35there's a method

00:38:36to the madness,

00:38:37man,

00:38:38with Zarya,

00:38:39I feel the same way,

00:38:40man,

00:38:40you can't trust her.

00:38:41DTA,

00:38:42great minds,

00:38:43great minds.

00:38:44Still to come,

00:38:44we will hear from the

00:38:45number one contender

00:38:46to the NXT

00:38:47Women's Championship,

00:38:48Jordan Grace,

00:38:49Grace Jane,

00:38:50WWE Evolution Week

00:38:51from Sunday in Atlanta.

00:38:53How is this for teamwork

00:38:54from a first time team?

00:38:56Tatum Paxley and Izzy Dame

00:38:58working extremely well together.

00:39:00And that is also hard to argue,

00:39:02Izzy Dame,

00:39:03bringing of sorts

00:39:04some dowels

00:39:06to Tatum Paxley.

00:39:07It's a peace offering,

00:39:08Vic,

00:39:09it's like when you hand out,

00:39:09it's like when you hand out

00:39:11candy to the people

00:39:12around ringside

00:39:12so they can cheer for you.

00:39:13That's 100% why I do it

00:39:15is Izzy Dame

00:39:15still in control

00:39:16of this matchup

00:39:17tagging right back in.

00:39:19Tatum Paxley

00:39:19and as I was mentioning,

00:39:20the NXT Women's Championship

00:39:22to be defended

00:39:22at Evolution.

00:39:23First Evolution

00:39:24in seven years.

00:39:25The champion

00:39:26the last time

00:39:27is floating over

00:39:28is the champion

00:39:29into a kick out.

00:39:30The champion

00:39:30was Kairi Sane.

00:39:32She did not leave

00:39:32Evolution NXT Women's Champion

00:39:34on that night.

00:39:35We will find out

00:39:36if J.C. Jane

00:39:37can leave champion

00:39:38coming up in Atlanta.

00:39:40But Sol Ruka

00:39:40in control now.

00:39:42of Tatum Paxley

00:39:43and gotta wonder

00:39:43what Sol,

00:39:45what Zarya's

00:39:46thinking in this match.

00:39:47They don't wanna hurt

00:39:47Tatum Paxley.

00:39:48They're trying to

00:39:49help Tatum Paxley.

00:39:51Tatum Paxley's

00:39:52looking for a friend

00:39:53and I think she's

00:39:53found one in

00:39:54Izzy Dame

00:39:55and Izzy Dame

00:39:56has just found

00:39:56somebody that she can

00:39:57use at the end

00:39:59of the day

00:39:59so everybody

00:40:00get what they want.

00:40:01I like it.

00:40:02I like the agreement.

00:40:03Paxley able to

00:40:04kick out of it.

00:40:05Booker though,

00:40:06why would Tatum

00:40:07choose evil

00:40:08over good?

00:40:10You know,

00:40:10I wouldn't say

00:40:11it's evil.

00:40:12Good and evil

00:40:12are totally subjective.

00:40:14What do you mean?

00:40:14I don't think that's

00:40:14what it is.

00:40:15You're telling

00:40:15she has great

00:40:16intentions,

00:40:17Izzy Dame?

00:40:17Someone who

00:40:18tore the family apart?

00:40:20Someone who was able

00:40:21to manipulate

00:40:22a situation

00:40:23against Sean Spears

00:40:23at the North

00:40:24American Championship

00:40:25several months ago?

00:40:26I see a woman

00:40:26who lent a helping hand

00:40:28as you so eloquently

00:40:29put it

00:40:30to someone who

00:40:30was down on her luck.

00:40:32Someone who needed

00:40:32a little help,

00:40:33a little motivation.

00:40:34Izzy Dame

00:40:34into the cover,

00:40:35hooks the leg.

00:40:37And above all else,

00:40:38I think Izzy Dame

00:40:39understands what this

00:40:40game is all about.

00:40:41Booker,

00:40:41can you help me out?

00:40:42I mean,

00:40:43you put that

00:40:43great.

00:40:44I mean,

00:40:44that was a great

00:40:45soliloquy

00:40:46that you just

00:40:47put out right there.

00:40:48Can you spell

00:40:48soliloquy?

00:40:49He used it properly.

00:40:51It doesn't matter.

00:40:52Graves is good.

00:40:53Graves can sell

00:40:54a ketchup popsicle

00:40:55to a woman

00:40:55in white gloves.

00:40:56Ketchup popsicle?

00:40:58And now,

00:40:59big right hand

00:41:00from Soul

00:41:02firing right back

00:41:03on Izzy

00:41:03who fires back

00:41:04in her own right.

00:41:05And it's almost

00:41:05as if these,

00:41:06oh,

00:41:07these women are

00:41:08fighting over

00:41:09Tata Paxley

00:41:10who just made a tag.

00:41:11I don't think

00:41:11somebody will realize.

00:41:12No, no, no, no.

00:41:13They're trying to

00:41:13fight to save her.

00:41:14They're trying to

00:41:14kick out.

00:41:19Listen, you know what?

00:41:20Sol Ruka needs to be

00:41:21concerned about

00:41:21the North American

00:41:22championship.

00:41:23You know what?

00:41:23Zara needs to be

00:41:24concerned about

00:41:25how to take the

00:41:26North American

00:41:26championship

00:41:27or how to put

00:41:27herself in the

00:41:28NXT women's title

00:41:29title picture.

00:41:29Cross body,

00:41:31a thing of beauty

00:41:32from Tatum Paxley

00:41:33who is wildly talented

00:41:34in the small instances

00:41:35when she gets

00:41:36her head right.

00:41:38Well, as we also

00:41:38focus in on this

00:41:39too, Booker,

00:41:40regardless of

00:41:41personal feelings

00:41:42as she just was

00:41:43tagged out of the

00:41:44matchup,

00:41:45Izzy Dame has

00:41:45certainly dominated

00:41:46the field since

00:41:47joining the cup.

00:41:48Izzy Dame,

00:41:49I will call her

00:41:50the leader.

00:41:51She's been making

00:41:52all the power plays.

00:41:54If she can get a win

00:41:55tonight,

00:41:56definitely,

00:41:56definitely that would

00:41:57be a big,

00:41:58big,

00:41:59uh,

00:41:59checkmark.

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.

00:42:07Surf boy.

00:42:08Surf boy.

00:42:09Surf boy.

00:42:10One more time.

00:42:11Surf boy.

00:42:12The charm right down

00:42:14on Izzy Dame.

00:42:15And now look at the

00:42:16power of Zarya

00:42:17just tossing out

00:42:19Tatum

00:42:19onto Izzy.

00:42:21Zaruca

00:42:22standing tall

00:42:23here on NXT.

00:42:25Don't say that again,

00:42:26man.

00:42:32Zarya,

00:42:33Solruca

00:42:33been in control

00:42:34up until this moment.

00:42:36And, oh,

00:42:38Tatum,

00:42:38Paxley,

00:42:39Izzy Dame

00:42:40making their presence

00:42:41known,

00:42:42making it felt

00:42:43as Spears,

00:42:43Nico Vance

00:42:44on the outside

00:42:45cheering on Tatum.

00:42:46Booker,

00:42:47what do you think

00:42:47the rest of the

00:42:48Cully thinks of Tatum?

00:42:49I think they're thinking

00:42:50she's the right person

00:42:51for the job.

00:42:52Tatum,

00:42:53Paxley,

00:42:53could be the newest

00:42:54member of the Cully.

00:42:56Especially,

00:42:56like I say,

00:42:57we get a victory tonight.

00:42:58Everything's lovely,

00:42:59man.

00:43:00Spears,

00:43:00Vance,

00:43:01the insurance policy

00:43:02on the outside.

00:43:03Zarya,

00:43:03able to get out

00:43:04of the way

00:43:04for a moment,

00:43:05trying to showcase

00:43:06that power.

00:43:07Nice counter by Tatum

00:43:08and Tatum

00:43:09with a nice drop.

00:43:10Wow.

00:43:11Think about what

00:43:11the addition of

00:43:12Tatum Paxley

00:43:13could mean

00:43:13for the Cully.

00:43:14We see them

00:43:15grow stronger.

00:43:16They're switching

00:43:16pieces in and out

00:43:17to maximize

00:43:18their effectiveness.

00:43:19Look at this.

00:43:20This is tremendous

00:43:21teamwork.

00:43:22Beautiful teamwork.

00:43:22Izzy and Tatum.

00:43:23Bollicle.

00:43:25So,

00:43:25you agree

00:43:26with what Booker

00:43:27said,

00:43:27that the Cully

00:43:27has only gotten

00:43:28stronger

00:43:29in recent weeks.

00:43:30Short arm,

00:43:31clothesline,

00:43:31hook of the leg,

00:43:32and an ear fall.

00:43:33When you find a way

00:43:34to appeal to the broken,

00:43:35to the weakened,

00:43:37and you can unite them

00:43:38and you can use the things

00:43:39that broke them

00:43:40to strengthen them,

00:43:41you are creating

00:43:42a very, very dangerous

00:43:43group of human beings.

00:43:44Beautiful.

00:43:46We're not playing

00:43:47Scrabble here,

00:43:47Booker.

00:43:47You don't get more points

00:43:48for using it twice.

00:43:49Izzy gifted some dollars

00:43:51to Tatum.

00:43:53That's all it takes,

00:43:54putting Tatum's heart

00:43:55back together.

00:43:56Well, that's what

00:43:56I was trying to get to.

00:43:57It was symbolic.

00:43:57Oh!

00:43:58Oh, big shot.

00:44:00That was symbolic, too.

00:44:01I'd be like,

00:44:01if I bought you a tube

00:44:02of your favorite honey,

00:44:03because we didn't have

00:44:04a great show.

00:44:05Look 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

00:44:14on leg drop.

00:44:15For Tatum Paxley,

00:44:16partners,

00:44:17friends have left her

00:44:18in the past.

00:44:19Some unexpected.

00:44:21Maybe,

00:44:21I'll look at it

00:44:22the other way.

00:44:23Maybe,

00:44:23just maybe,

00:44:24she found a true

00:44:25friend, Booker,

00:44:26in Izzy Davis.

00:44:27Let me tell you right now.

00:44:28Tatum Paxley has

00:44:29a lot of talent.

00:44:30I think that Cully

00:44:30can really,

00:44:31truly hold in

00:44:33on that talent

00:44:34and get the best

00:44:35of Tatum Paxley

00:44:36out of the middle of that ring.

00:44:37That's the way I'm doing it.

00:44:38You got a lot of experience.

00:44:40Think of the value

00:44:41inside the mind

00:44:42of Sean Spears.

00:44:43This is a man

00:44:43who's been there,

00:44:44done that,

00:44:45around the world,

00:44:46tasted the success.

00:44:47Salked in failure.

00:44:48Hook of the leg.

00:44:49Off the Instagram.

00:44:51Spears is a wealth

00:44:52of knowledge.

00:44:53And when you take

00:44:54these people,

00:44:55again,

00:44:55who,

00:44:55for all intents

00:44:56and purposes,

00:44:57are in a dark spot

00:44:58in their life,

00:44:59Spears has figured out

00:45:00how to,

00:45:01maybe manipulate

00:45:02is the right word,

00:45:03but build them back up.

00:45:04You know what I call it,

00:45:05right?

00:45:05The GPS.

00:45:06Just put in

00:45:07the information.

00:45:08Just log in

00:45:09your coordination

00:45:10and he will get you

00:45:11that dance baby.

00:45:12Oh yes.

00:45:13Coordinates.

00:45:14That's what I meant to say.

00:45:15Who the hell uses a GPS?

00:45:17You use maps now

00:45:18these days.

00:45:18I got a GPS.

00:45:19You got Tom Tom

00:45:19in your car?

00:45:20I got ways.

00:45:21Oh!

00:45:22Yes.

00:45:23Well right now,

00:45:24Tatum Paxley

00:45:25finding ways

00:45:26to continue this matchup

00:45:27and for the culling.

00:45:28A tag was made.

00:45:29Izzy Dame back in

00:45:31and this tag...

00:45:31Oh!

00:45:32Wow.

00:45:33Sorry,

00:45:33I got the knees up

00:45:34just in time.

00:45:35Oh!

00:45:35Tag!

00:45:35And here comes

00:45:36a women's North American

00:45:37champion

00:45:38who's finding

00:45:39her own ways

00:45:40to turn the tables

00:45:41in this matchup.

00:45:42In the nick of time too

00:45:43because Zarya

00:45:44is feeling it.

00:45:46A little home alone

00:45:47action right here.

00:45:47Taking down,

00:45:48running right back around.

00:45:49Wow!

00:45:49Right to the face

00:45:50in control.

00:45:54Come on Izzy!

00:45:56Izzy running it.

00:45:57Oh!

00:45:58Tag!

00:45:59That's a...

00:46:00Unique tag for Zarya.

00:46:02He was just able

00:46:03to get out of the matchup

00:46:03but nonetheless

00:46:04working like a

00:46:05wild machine.

00:46:06The whole Ruka

00:46:07just needed a solid base

00:46:09to launch that attack.

00:46:10Zarya now has

00:46:11Izzy scooped up.

00:46:15Oh!

00:46:15Double up tag team

00:46:16action right here.

00:46:18Going for the big...

00:46:19This could be the

00:46:19coup d'etat!

00:46:20Oh!

00:46:21Oh, man!

00:46:22With a little extra twist.

00:46:24Into the cover

00:46:25goes Zarya

00:46:25who is legal for her team

00:46:27and running up the bat!

00:46:29Breaking it up

00:46:30was Tatum.

00:46:31This is a new side

00:46:33of Paxley

00:46:33we've never seen before

00:46:35and I hate to admit it

00:46:36up until now

00:46:37it's because of

00:46:38Izzy Damon the Culler.

00:46:39Because Tatum Paxley

00:46:40has so much talent

00:46:42and it's just about

00:46:43holding that talent

00:46:44and breaking it out

00:46:44right now.

00:46:45Zarya going for a picture.

00:46:46Oh, no!

00:46:47Code breaker by Izzy

00:46:48and you know Izzy right now.

00:46:50Izzy looking for Tatum.

00:46:51There's no Tatum!

00:46:52Where the hell is she?

00:46:53What do you mean

00:46:53where the hell is she?

00:46:54You just saw her

00:46:55get dropped a second ago

00:46:56and Sol Ruka

00:46:56she is legal.

00:46:58Up over

00:46:59lands on her feet

00:46:59and

00:47:01oh, unique offense

00:47:02right to the spine.

00:47:03Oh!

00:47:04Tatum just saved Izzy!

00:47:05Zarya just pierced Sol!

00:47:09That's not what

00:47:11Zarya's intentions were!

00:47:13Are you sure about that?

00:47:15Tatum has just shown

00:47:16her true colors.

00:47:18Who's she sided with?

00:47:20She's crazy like a fox, Vic.

00:47:22That's what this is.

00:47:23She'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

00:47:29of the Culling sit-down style

00:47:32and Izzy just pinned

00:47:33the Women's North American Champion.

00:47:37Here are your winners.

00:47:39Tatum Paxley

00:47:39and Izzy

00:47:41Diggs!

00:47:42Take a look at this.

00:47:55A sight to behold

00:47:56for sure.

00:47:57Tatum Paxley

00:47:58shoving Izzy Dame

00:48:00out of Zarya's path.

00:48:02Zarya takes out

00:48:03Sol Ruka

00:48:04and as Zarya

00:48:06tries to reconcile

00:48:07what just happened

00:48:08Paxley takes care

00:48:10of business

00:48:10on the outside.

00:48:12Izzy Dame

00:48:13with a sky-high

00:48:14powerbomb

00:48:15on the inside.

00:48:17Nothing will bond

00:48:18the new team

00:48:19faster

00:48:19than a big-time win.

00:48:24Zarya Ruka

00:48:24looking up

00:48:25in heartbreak

00:48:26with the warm embrace

00:48:28of Izzy

00:50:40the I want you

00:50:45After reflecting

00:50:52on last week

00:50:53Uriah

00:50:54you made me realize

00:50:56that it might be time

00:50:58for this old dog

00:50:58to learn some new tricks.

00:51:01So

00:51:02I want to apologize.

00:51:05Tough love

00:51:05is the only way

00:51:06that I know.

00:51:07But

00:51:07if it wasn't for you two

00:51:09I would have never

00:51:10reopened Chase Conversa.

00:51:12Hell

00:51:12when I heard

00:51:13Kel call out for me

00:51:13the day that I

00:51:14emptied out my classroom

00:51:15in my darkest of days

00:51:17I felt a glimmer

00:51:18of hope

00:51:18and I don't want

00:51:20to lose sight of that.

00:51:22So Kel

00:51:22next week

00:51:23I got you

00:51:24a singles match.

00:51:26Hey.

00:51:28And while I know

00:51:29my methods

00:51:30aren't for everyone

00:51:30I do want to be better

00:51:32if you boys will allow it.

00:51:34Mr. Chase

00:51:35thank you.

00:51:37Apology accepted.

00:51:39Come on.

00:51:40Bring it in.

00:51:41You have it.

00:51:43Wow.

00:51:44Hey Mr. Chase

00:51:44it's never too late

00:51:45to grow.

00:51:46It's breaking

00:51:47those toxic patterns

00:51:48you know what I mean?

00:51:49Kel

00:51:49Uriah and I

00:51:51will be out there

00:51:51with you.

00:51:51Just promise

00:51:52that you'll listen to me

00:51:54and that you'll use

00:51:54what you've learned

00:51:55over the past few weeks

00:51:56to show them

00:51:57that you are.

00:51:59Can I say

00:51:59does that toxic?

00:52:04Okay.

00:52:04And show them

00:52:05that you are

00:52:06Chase U tough.

00:52:08Whoa.

00:52:15You know guys

00:52:16I can only hope

00:52:17that Kel

00:52:18and Uriah

00:52:18finally smarten up

00:52:20and break free

00:52:21from Chase U

00:52:21because it's a sinking ship.

00:52:23It's a giant anchor.

00:52:24I'd ask Booker

00:52:25but I already know

00:52:25what his answer would be

00:52:26but right now

00:52:26we understand

00:52:27that Kelly Kincaid

00:52:28is standing by

00:52:29with TNA wrestlers

00:52:30Joe Hendry

00:52:31and Mike Santana.

00:52:36off with a bang.

00:52:37You scored a victory

00:52:37over Wesley

00:52:38with surprise help

00:52:40from one of your opponents

00:52:41at Slammiversary.

00:52:47to take care

00:52:48of the high rise

00:52:51are throwing hands

00:52:51in two and a half weeks

00:52:52at Slammiversary

00:52:53but the reality is

00:52:55that we're united

00:52:56when it comes to

00:52:56defending TNA

00:52:57against guys like

00:52:58Trick and high rise.

00:53:10But you know what

00:53:11that doesn't matter.

00:53:12We're completely

00:53:12different people

00:53:13but we do have

00:53:14one thing in common

00:55:59We get jumped

00:56:00from behind last week

00:56:01and the only evidence

00:56:02is a black steel chair.

00:56:03Why are the ones

00:56:04with your tools

00:56:05carrying out there?

00:56:10What?

00:56:11What?

00:56:12I know my new friends

00:56:14something like that.

00:56:16And if you two

00:56:19those titles on the line

00:56:21How convenient.

00:56:22We didn't hit first

00:56:24we're gonna hit last.

00:56:25All right, listen.

00:56:28If you guys are fine

00:56:41I wish you would.

00:56:43I wish you would.

00:56:45Hey, look guys.

00:56:46There is never a dull

00:56:47moment for our general

00:56:49manager.

00:56:49And his opponent

00:56:57weight 200

00:56:58at 42 pounds

00:57:00Yoshiki

00:57:02Inamura!

00:57:06Corey, are you ready

00:57:08for this?

00:57:09Some human demolition derby.

00:57:11I hope they reinforce

00:57:12the ring for this one

00:57:14because these are

00:57:15two heavy hitters.

00:57:17Yoshiki Inamura

00:57:18who was bold enough

00:57:19to step up in the face

00:57:20of Omifemi

00:57:21and say I want a shot

00:57:22at the ruler.

00:57:24Unfortunately for Yoshiki

00:57:25Jasper Troy

00:57:26believes he has

00:57:28unfinished business

00:57:29as well.

00:57:30This one's too close

00:57:31to call.

00:57:32Look at the eyes

00:57:32on Jasper Troy.

00:57:34You know what he's

00:57:35thinking?

00:57:35This is the biggest

00:57:37meal.

00:57:37I'm about to eat.

00:57:39That's what he's

00:57:39thinking.

00:57:40Well, you know,

00:57:40we've heard from

00:57:41his coach on LFG

00:57:42obviously.

00:57:43Corey, I want to

00:57:44get your thoughts.

00:57:45How scary truly

00:57:46can Troy do that?

00:57:47I think the sky

00:57:48is the limit

00:57:49and beyond.

00:57:50I mean, to use

00:57:51a cliche,

00:57:52Jasper Troy

00:57:52with terrifying

00:57:54athleticism cover

00:57:55for a man of his

00:57:56size.

00:57:57And Booker,

00:57:57correct me if I'm

00:57:58wrong.

00:57:59I don't think

00:57:59I'm out of line

00:58:00by saying Jasper

00:58:01Troy sort of reminds

00:58:02me of someone

00:58:02you're familiar

00:58:03with in your TNA

00:58:04days,

00:58:04the Monster Abyss.

00:58:06But sort of

00:58:06a modern era,

00:58:08faster,

00:58:08maybe even a

00:58:09little bit bigger.

00:58:10Look at this guy,

00:58:11Jasper Troy.

00:58:12He's 6'5",

00:58:13300 pounds,

00:58:15and that's down

00:58:16from 330.

00:58:17That tells me

00:58:18this dude is serious,

00:58:19man.

00:58:19Boy, another cover

00:58:20hook of the way

00:58:21and a kick out.

00:58:21It's time to take

00:58:22a look at tonight's

00:58:23NXT recap presented

00:58:24by Progressive.

00:58:26You know,

00:58:26Booker kind of

00:58:27touched on it earlier.

00:58:28I mean,

00:58:28just think about

00:58:30what Jasper Troy

00:58:31did to Obafemi

00:58:32in the first meet.

00:58:33What he could do

00:58:35to Obafemi

00:58:36at the Great

00:58:37American Bash.

00:58:38I mean,

00:58:39it's downright scary.

00:58:40And Booker,

00:58:41are you still even

00:58:41questioning Inamora's

00:58:42thought process

00:58:44after the last

00:58:45several months?

00:58:45You're damn right.

00:58:46I'm wondering

00:58:46what the hell

00:58:47is he thinking

00:58:48getting in the ring

00:58:49with this monster

00:58:50Jasper Troy.

00:58:52But let me tell you

00:58:52right now,

00:58:53Jasper,

00:58:54it's about being,

00:58:56it's about putting

00:58:56food on the table,

00:58:58which makes this dude

00:58:59very dangerous.

00:59:00It's about honor

00:59:01for Yoshiki Inamora

00:59:02who wants to go back

00:59:03someday to Japan

00:59:04with a story

00:59:05to be proud of

00:59:06with a list of accolades

00:59:08a mile long.

00:59:08And trust me,

00:59:09Booker,

00:59:10you know Inamora

00:59:10has a sumo background.

00:59:12Yoshiki's no stranger

00:59:13to mixing it up

00:59:14with some heavy hitters,

00:59:16heavy dudes

00:59:16like Jasper Troy.

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

00:59:22who went back to Japan

00:59:23only to realize

00:59:25the things he missed

00:59:26as he right now

00:59:27is taking it to Troy.

00:59:29Big elbow to the chest,

00:59:30into the cover

00:59:31to get to the

00:59:32Great American Bash

00:59:33and the kick out.

00:59:34He missed his tag team partner.

00:59:35He missed this brand.

00:59:36He missed the passion

00:59:37of the fans.

00:59:37He wants to pay them back

00:59:39by becoming

00:59:39the NXT champion

00:59:41in Atlanta.

00:59:43Listen,

00:59:44Yoshiki Inamora

00:59:45able to settle in now,

00:59:46strategize a little bit better

00:59:47after weathering

00:59:48the early storm

00:59:49of Jasper Troy.

00:59:51And speaking of the

00:59:52NXT champion,

00:59:53there you see

00:59:53Obafemi

00:59:54looking on.

00:59:56He will face

00:59:56one of these two men

00:59:58in Atlanta

00:59:58at the Great American Bash.

01:00:01And he's going to have

01:00:02to be ready

01:00:03for two absolute

01:00:04powerhouses

01:00:05as Inamora

01:00:06in control.

01:00:07We saw several weeks ago

01:00:08Obafemi

01:00:09just barely

01:00:10getting past

01:00:11Jasper Troy.

01:00:12Oba has yet to mix

01:00:13it up properly

01:00:14with Yoshiki Inamora.

01:00:15And Inamora right now,

01:00:16nothing fancy.

01:00:18Side headlock

01:00:18just trying to wear

01:00:19down

01:00:20Jasper Troy.

01:00:21And this is where

01:00:22that sumo power,

01:00:23that background

01:00:24of Inamora

01:00:24plays in.

01:00:25He can wear you down.

01:00:26He's incredibly powerful.

01:00:28You ever seen

01:00:28a sumo train, Vic?

01:00:30I have not.

01:00:30It's unbelievable.

01:00:31I had the honor

01:00:32of being invited

01:00:32to a dojo

01:00:33many years back

01:00:34in Japan.

01:00:35And you want to talk

01:00:35about some intense,

01:00:37powerful training.

01:00:38These guys,

01:00:39I mean,

01:00:39some of them

01:00:39are strong enough

01:00:40to flip cars.

01:00:41And that's no exaggeration.

01:00:42I'm going to tell you

01:00:42right now,

01:00:43Inamora just hanging on

01:00:44for 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

01:00:50you talking about, Graves.

01:00:51Oh, Graves is

01:00:52this where you're

01:00:54just alluding to.

01:00:55Just watch and learn,

01:00:55my friend.

01:00:55All right.

01:00:59That's the second

01:01:00thoughts.

01:01:01Yeah, and there goes

01:01:02Inamora.

01:01:03There we go.

01:01:04Inamora coming back in.

01:01:05Oh, no.

01:01:06Big sidewalk slam.

01:01:07This is America.

01:01:08This is weird in Japan.

01:01:09This is a new super match.

01:01:12Well, it's all about

01:01:12the American dream,

01:01:13and one of these men

01:01:14may be headed

01:01:15to the Great American Bash

01:01:16to achieve that dream,

01:01:18becoming the NXT champion.

01:01:21Well, listen,

01:01:21they got monsters

01:01:22in Japan, too, Booker.

01:01:23Think about it.

01:01:24Godzilla.

01:01:24Giant Bernard

01:01:29has Inamora

01:01:30looking down

01:01:30in control.

01:01:31Who is headed

01:01:32to Atlanta?

01:01:33Who's going to face

01:01:34Obafemi?

01:01:44Got all of it.

01:01:47Obafemi said

01:01:48he would relish

01:01:49a fight with someone

01:01:50who shares

01:01:50his warrior spirit,

01:01:51and these two

01:01:53certainly fit the bill,

01:01:55Graves.

01:01:55This is incredible

01:01:56physicality 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

01:02:03about this dude

01:02:04right this monster.

01:02:05You ain't got to worry

01:02:06about 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

01:02:11and a kick out.

01:02:13Not quite yet.

01:02:15Inamora's still

01:02:15with some fight left.

01:02:16Booker,

01:02:17is Troy the first man

01:02:19you've seen

01:02:20put doubt

01:02:20in the mind

01:02:21of Obafemi?

01:02:22Yeah, I mean,

01:02:22because he stands,

01:02:23you know,

01:02:24six foot five.

01:02:24He goes toe-to-toe

01:02:26with a man like Obafemi.

01:02:28Oba has to know

01:02:29that he's beatable.

01:02:30He's beatable.

01:02:31He's been there before.

01:02:32And this man,

01:02:33this man Jasper Troy

01:02:34could stop him

01:02:35at the gate.

01:02:36Jasper Troy told

01:02:37the universe

01:02:38the day he signed

01:02:39his contract

01:02:39into the cover,

01:02:40another hook of the leg,

01:02:41that he would make

01:02:43an impact.

01:02:44And Grave,

01:02:45this man has not lied.

01:02:46No doubt about it,

01:02:47Jasper Troy called his shot

01:02:49and he's delivered

01:02:50everything just short

01:02:51of becoming NXT champion.

01:02:53And as we've been talking

01:02:54about through the duration

01:02:55of this match,

01:02:56Troy pushed the ruler

01:02:57to his limit.

01:02:58We thought on multiple occasions

01:03:00we were going to have

01:03:01a new kingpin

01:03:01in NXT

01:03:02named Jasper Troy.

01:03:03And if you even go back

01:03:04to last week,

01:03:06he dropped Inamora.

01:03:07He got back in the face

01:03:09of Obafemi

01:03:09and said,

01:03:10we are not done

01:03:11as now Jasper Troy

01:03:12may be looking for

01:03:13an abdominal stretch

01:03:14of sorts.

01:03:15Inamora doing a nice job

01:03:16of trying to counter.

01:03:17Round and round they go.

01:03:18Inamora finally breaks the hole

01:03:20and gets a little bit

01:03:21of separation.

01:03:22Great action right there

01:03:23from Inamora

01:03:23just to keep his feet moving.

01:03:26And listen,

01:03:27I'm going to be honest,

01:03:27maybe I overestimated

01:03:29Inamora

01:03:29because Inamora

01:03:30is looking like

01:03:31he's in a world

01:03:32of trouble right now

01:03:33and he desperately needs

01:03:34a few moments

01:03:35to recompose himself.

01:03:36I don't necessarily

01:03:37think you're wrong, Graves,

01:03:38but I think that also

01:03:39just goes to the power

01:03:40that Jasper Troy possesses.

01:03:42I agree with that,

01:03:43but wait a minute,

01:03:43wait a minute,

01:03:44maybe I am wrong.

01:03:45Here comes Inamora,

01:03:47teeing off on the big man.

01:03:48There is that warrior spirit.

01:03:50One more shot,

01:03:51but Jasper Troy

01:03:52rising up like someone

01:03:53out of a horror movie

01:03:54coming right back in

01:03:55and this is where

01:03:56that demolition derby

01:03:57is starting to come out.

01:03:59Whoa, bam!

01:04:01Big boss man slam

01:04:03into the cover

01:04:04and Inamora!

01:04:06Jasper Troy was so close.

01:04:09Take another look

01:04:11at just how close.

01:04:12Around we go,

01:04:14nearly put through

01:04:15the center of the ring.

01:04:16You call it a boss man slam.

01:04:18That would go in black hole.

01:04:19Either way,

01:04:20almost the end

01:04:22of Yosuke Inamora.

01:04:23Inamora take that

01:04:24on his teeth right there,

01:04:25but the big man's

01:04:26going to follow him.

01:04:27Oh!

01:04:27Oh, another splash

01:04:28didn'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,

01:04:36target has been acquired

01:04:38and unleashing fury

01:04:40is Inamora.

01:04:43Oh!

01:04:44A little extra

01:04:45in Inamora right now.

01:04:47Showing even

01:04:48another page

01:04:50in his own table.

01:04:51Showing another lair,

01:04:53if 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

01:05:01becoming the number

01:05:02one contender

01:05:03to the NXT championship.

01:05:06Round and round

01:05:07they go.

01:05:08Inamora.

01:05:08Again, overpowering

01:05:10Jasper Troy.

01:05:11Baker, you gotta start

01:05:12believing, man.

01:05:13I'm impressed.

01:05:14I'm impressed

01:05:15with Inamora right now.

01:05:16He's going up top

01:05:17for that bomb.

01:05:18He's gonna cut

01:05:19and drop it off

01:05:19the big man.

01:05:21We've seen this

01:05:21before in the past.

01:05:24Nailed it!

01:05:26Yoshiki!

01:05:49We weren't certain

01:05:50that Inamora

01:05:51had what it took

01:05:52to knock off

01:05:53the powerhouse

01:05:54Jasper Troy.

01:05:56Well,

01:05:56Yoshiki Inamora

01:05:57was all too eager

01:05:58to prove us

01:06:00all wrong.

01:06:01Massive splash

01:06:02from the top

01:06:03and Yoshiki Inamora

01:06:05has earned the right

01:06:07to step up
