00:00:00On the fireworks, come early tonight.

00:00:05Welcome to NXT on the CW, presented by Progressive.

00:00:22And what a way to kick off NXT.

00:00:25Look at that man.

00:00:30Look at it.

00:00:32All up.

00:00:34Chiseled called out of granite.

00:00:36The boy looking good.

00:00:39Come on, man.

00:00:41Stand up.

00:00:42Stand up.

00:00:43This is the D.A.L.

00:00:45Good company.

00:00:47Oh, that man.

00:00:49That man.

00:00:51Dre Williams.

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.

00:02:04as the TNA world champion gets settled in.

00:02:08Graves, how big of a match is this for someone like Wesley?

00:02:13By someone like Wesley, you mean somebody who feels perpetually overlooked and underrated.

00:02:19This could be a game-changing, career-altering opportunity for Wesley,

00:02:23who fully understands the assignment tonight.

00:02:26Wesley 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.

00:02:36So is how you do it on the west side, dog.

00:02:39Trick, I got to ask. I know there's a lot of history between you and Wesley.

00:02:42It seems like it's all water under the bridge. You all on the same page now?

00:02:45You got to let that go, Corey. It's been a long time ago.

00:02:47I've been accused of hanging under a grudge once in a while.

00:02:49I believe in Joe Hendrick.

00:02:54I believe in Joe Hendrick.

00:02:57I believe in Joe Hendrick.

00:03:01And his opponent, one better for a scum.

00:03:04Swing it at 252.5.

00:03:08Show Hendrick.

00:03:13Just a damn shame.

00:03:14Listen to this place.

00:03:17Everyone on their feet.

00:03:20For one-third of the main event at TNA Slammiversary.

00:03:29Look at this. Look at him.

00:03:35And as we get ready for this, I see tricks snarling.

00:03:42Grayson, is Hendrick's aggressive nature due to things that have been said to him or about him inside that TNA locker room?

00:03:50Listen, I don't know that Joe Hendrick is aggressive by nature.

00:03:53I think there's somewhere deep down inside that Hendrick does his best to contain.

00:03:57But what Hendrick needs to do tonight and going forward is let that wild side out.

00:04:02Let's not forget that wild side started to come out when he attacked you, Trick Williams.

00:04:06He attacked you last week.

00:04:07Hold on one second, big.

00:04:09Corey, why is you waving your hand?

00:04:10I was stretching.

00:04:11I got a cramp.

00:04:12I apologize.

00:04:12Well, you need to fix that.

00:04:13It's a misunderstanding.

00:04:14Trick, he was waving.

00:04:15He was waving.

00:04:17All right, now.

00:04:18Hey, Corey, did you just call Joe Hendrick a little soft?

00:04:20Did I hear that?

00:04:22No.

00:04:22No, that must have been a producer in your head.

00:04:24Okay.

00:04:24I was just saying.

00:04:26Well, as we get ready to settle in here, Trick, how are you preparing for the matchup coming up?

00:04:32TNA Slammiversary, July 20th.

00:04:34Yourself, Joe Hendrick, Mike Santana for the TNA World Title.

00:04:38You do not need to be factored in the decision to lose the TNA World Title.

00:04:43I'm going to be real, Vic.

00:04:45What are they doing?

00:04:46I beat Joe Hendrick.

00:04:47I beat Mike Santana.

00:04:49They need to prepare.

00:04:50Thanks.

00:04:50I'm the man here.

00:04:51Is there any difference, Trick, for you in preparation knowing you're going to step across enemy lines?

00:04:56You're going into TNA territory.

00:04:58Man, I done been there before.

00:04:59Look, man, I've been doing this a long time, man.

00:05:01I've been doing this for two years.

00:05:02Let me put some respect on my name.

00:05:04Don't get hostile with Corey there, Trick.

00:05:07Booker, though, I do want to ask you, if you were a TNA wrestler, what would you be saying to Joe Hendrick?

00:05:11What would I be saying?

00:05:12You dropped the damn ball.

00:05:14You let the locker room down.

00:05:15You let everybody in TNA down.

00:05:17That's what I would be saying.

00:05:19What would you be saying?

00:05:20What would you be saying if you were in the damn locker room?

00:05:22If 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.

00:05:28That's what I'd be saying if the damn locker room is just that right there.

00:05:31Well, it's not as if Henry hasn't tried.

00:05:33Mike Santana lost to first class.

00:05:36We saw what happened to Elijah.

00:05:38Trick, do you care to comment on Henry's attack to you last week?

00:05:42Look, man, he a sucker.

00:05:44He a sucker.

00:05:45I mean, what type of man wants to hit a man when he ain't watching?

00:05:48Behind his back.

00:05:49Oh, man, if you was really like that, announce yourself.

00:05:52He always popping up in appearing places.

00:05:54How about he announce himself and beat somebody up like a man?

00:05:56In other words, he need to tag you if he's going to pick up on your right.

00:05:59You know what I'm saying?

00:06:00Tag you in.

00:06:00I feel you, dog.

00:06:01Let's talk about it.

00:06:03Right now, Joe Hendrick trying to out-muscle Wes Lee.

00:06:06Lee, though, trying his best to counter the strength and doing it with his athleticism.

00:06:11What a way to kick off.

00:06:12NXT.

00:06:13Got it.

00:06:13It's holiday weekend.

00:06:15Oh, big kick.

00:06:17Beautiful there, by the way.

00:06:18And charging right back in comes Wes Lee.

00:06:20And Grace, hasn't Lee been someone that has stood out to you over his time here in NXT?

00:06:26No doubt about it.

00:06:27None more so than in this moment.

00:06:29Drop kicking Henry into our analysis.

00:06:32Listen, Wes Lee has been on the record multiple times about how hungry he is,

00:06:36about how he wants to be in the main event.

00:06:37He wants to be the conversation in NXT.

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

00:06:42Show him how you're doing the west side.

00:06:44Oh!

00:06:45He just got back to the east side, the south side.

00:06:48The north side.

00:06:48His ass ain't going to the west side.

00:06:50He's going to be the team!

00:06:53He's going to be!

00:06:54He's going to be!

00:06:56He's going to be!

00:06:56Back on NXT.

00:06:59Joe Hendrick, Wes Lee, Trick Williams joining us on commentary.

00:07:02Trick will defend the TNA World Title in a triple threat match.

00:07:05Pat TNA Slammiversary on July 20th.

00:07:08And as Hendrick took his eye off the ball, Wes Lee made him pay thanks to Tyson and Tyreek

00:07:14who are on the outside dressed for success.

00:07:16It wasn't as though Hendrick just opted to take his eye off the ball, Vic.

00:07:19Joe realized that Tyson and Tyreek were creeping up on him.

00:07:22Joe's basically one against three right now.

00:07:24Wes Lee disappeared, didn't he?

00:07:26He just appeared.

00:07:26Oh, he certainly just did.

00:07:28And Trick, you have ruffled some feathers here in NXT, right?

00:07:31Wronger and different.

00:07:31We've seen how some people have looked at you.

00:07:33In your opinion, how has the TNA Lockroom embraced you as their champion?

00:07:38I ain't here to make friends.

00:07:39I'm here to make money.

00:07:40But if you don't like me, that's your problem.

00:07:41Whoa!

00:07:42Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, man.

00:07:43So athleticism covering a near fall.

00:07:46Why I ask you a question like that?

00:07:48You know the rule, checks, and championships, man.

00:07:51That's what Trick is all about.

00:07:52He's about making that green, green dollar beat.

00:07:55Well, let's take another look at what was potentially a huge problem for Joe Hendry.

00:08:00Beautiful athleticism by Wes Lee, but not enough to finish the job just yet.

00:08:05Trick, you've got to like what you're seeing right now.

00:08:07Man, I love that, man.

00:08:08That's just what we talked about.

00:08:09Take care of business, Westside.

00:08:13Had quite the stare down with NXT champion Ova Femi a few weeks back.

00:08:17Trick Ova will have his eyes on Jasper Troy in Amora tonight.

00:08:21Winner will head to the Great American Bash in Atlanta.

00:08:24But a big pump kick from Wesley rocking Joe Hendry.

00:08:29Got Henry right under the jaw.

00:08:30Around we go.

00:08:31Look at this.

00:08:33Wesley wanted a satellite DDT, but Hendry put on the brakes.

00:08:37Certainly did.

00:08:37Bang!

00:08:38Suplex answering right back.

00:08:40Beautiful there by Joe Hendry.

00:08:43Textbook, baby.

00:08:44Trick, is there any concern on your side that maybe the next time you step in the ring against a Joe Hendry,

00:08:48to be a different competitor, a more hungry Hendry than before?

00:08:51Yeah, look, if I did it once, I'm going to do it again.

00:08:54He ain't the only one training.

00:08:55I'm working out every single day.

00:08:57I'm in the gym.

00:08:58Well, pivotal point of this matchup.

00:08:59Wesley told you, Trick, last week he would take care of Joe Hendry here tonight.

00:09:04But Hendry firing back.

00:09:07Trying to keep that momentum going.

00:09:09Big clothesline.

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

00:09:15Wow.

00:09:20Look at all these sheep in the crowd.

00:09:22Look at all these sheep.

00:09:23We always want to please the fans, man.

00:09:25That's his biggest part.

00:09:26That's why he's about 10 pounds riding right now.

00:09:28No championship around his waist.

00:09:30Am I right?

00:09:31Am I right?

00:09:32I hear you.

00:09:33I hear you.

00:09:35Looking for the standing ovation.

00:09:37Always sing ugly.

00:09:38Able to counter for him.

00:09:39Oh, and answers back with a ride of his own.

00:09:42Take that with you.

00:09:43That body shot rocked Hendry.

00:09:45Let's go, Joe!

00:09:48He was a weak in Joe Hendry.

00:09:50Hendry now hoisted up Lee.

00:09:52And look at this power.

00:09:54Pulling out some new tricks ahead of Slammiversary.

00:09:58Into the cover.

00:09:59Hook a bullet.

00:09:59And go!

00:10:03Yeah, saved by Tyson and Tomarik with Wesley.

00:10:05Beautiful awareness there by Wesley.

00:10:11Beautiful awareness.

00:10:12What the hell are you watching?

00:10:14You got trifocals.

00:10:15You didn't see that?

00:10:16He got back off of one.

00:10:17He got back off of one.

00:10:18Ray, man.

00:10:19Tyson and Tyreek might be getting a little too close.

00:10:21Wait a minute.

00:10:22It's Mike Santana.

00:10:23Come on.

00:10:24Mike Santana.

00:10:26What the hell is he doing?

00:10:27Santana evening the odds.

00:10:30Swing and a miss by Wesley.

00:10:31And now Joe Hendry giving Lee a standing.

00:10:36Oh, fish it!

00:10:37Oh, hell no.

00:10:38Not like this.

00:10:39Not like this.

00:10:40One, two, three.

00:10:41Come on, man.

00:10:46Here's your winner, Joe Hendry!

00:10:50Trick, you are not a happy individual at this moment.

00:10:56Corey, let's take a look.

00:10:57Closing moments of this match.

00:10:59Tyson and Tyreek would win that.

00:11:00That's Ted Hendry's attention.

00:11:02But luckily, Mike Santana of TNAs would show up and wreck shop.

00:11:08Opening the door for a little power display from Joe Hendry.

00:11:13Making a believer out of Wesley with a standing ovation.

00:11:17And Trick Williams, you better be ready because you've got two hungry stars gunning for your

00:11:24goal.

00:11:26Williams staring at the two men that are looking to put an end to Trick and Ed.

00:11:35I just don't know why you guys did that.

00:11:37I mean, I'm only trying to do good things and I just, I don't get it.

00:11:40Was I doing something bad?

00:11:41We were just trying to keep you from doing something that you would regret.

00:11:44Which is what good friends do.

00:11:46Because for the hundredth time, you need to keep an eye on her.

00:11:49Izzy is not your role.

00:11:50What the hell was that?

00:11:52This is exactly what we're talking about.

00:11:54Why did you two get involved in my match when Tatum was trying to help me?

00:11:58What are you talking about?

00:12:01Tatum, look, I know you didn't mean to cost me the match and I know your intentions were

00:12:05pure and just please believe that I know you did not try to hurt me in any way.

00:12:10And I, I may have lost the match, but I feel like I won your friendship.

00:12:15I mean, at least I hope I did.

00:12:17You know what?

00:12:18I'm sick of this.

00:12:19Tatum, if you want to fall for her act, then go right ahead.

00:12:25Clearly Zaruka is already a team.

00:12:27And I don't know about you, but I feel like we'd make a great one too.

00:12:30I think she's right.

00:12:41Well, Sol and Zarya have tried to help Tatum, but she didn't want to listen.

00:12:46Tag team action still to come here tonight.

00:12:51And the question has been, can you trust this man?

00:12:55That is what Tony Dean needs to answer.

00:12:57We will hear from Luka Crucifino next.

00:13:07Combo and individual event tickets for SummerSlam and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey

00:13:12on Saturday, August the 2nd and Sunday, August the 3rd are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

00:13:23It's all about family.

00:13:25It's all about the business.

00:13:27And here comes a man who has some explaining to do.

00:13:42Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Luka Crucifino.

00:13:48Booker, can you trust this man?

00:13:54Honestly, can you trust Luka?

00:13:56I can tell you this.

00:13:58Crucifino's actions has been untrustworthy.

00:14:02I can say that.

00:14:03I think this guy's a fly in the ointment.

00:14:05I think this guy belongs chasing ambulances, not here at NXT.

00:14:08Tony D'Angelo has been questioning my loyalty since Stand and Deliver.

00:14:15And after last week, I want to put this to bed.

00:14:18I want to put this to rest.

00:14:20So, Tony, please come out here.

00:14:26Well, that's a mighty bold move.

00:14:29Oh, everybody, look at this.

00:14:38My consigliere is calling me out here.

00:14:43How the tables have turned, Luka.

00:14:55Tony, you seem to think that everyone's against you.

00:14:58Oh, no, you're right.

00:14:59You're not out to get me.

00:15:01At least that's not what the last month has said.

00:15:03See, last week, you screwed me in my Heritage Cup match and served it on a platter for stacks.

00:15:10And then you punched me in the face.

00:15:13Listen, as I recall correctly, you're the one who hit me in the face first.

00:15:22Tony, I gave you the respect to listen to you.

00:15:25Now you're going to listen to me.

00:15:29You want to talk about loyalty?

00:15:32Fine.

00:15:33Let'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.

00:15:45Loyalty 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.

00:15:54I've turned down and given up everything that I've done up to this point for a chance.

00:15:58Tony, for a chance to be in the WWE.

00:16:02And you know, you know, without a doubt, that I have never done a damn thing to doubt you, Tony.

00:16:10Never.

00:16:11And you know what that is?

00:16:14That's loyalty.

00:16:15Luca, Luca, I got to say, I wouldn't be standing here, your Heritage Cup champion, if it wasn't for you.

00:16:34So thank you, man.

00:16:35Luca, listen to me.

00:16:37This is exactly what I'm talking about.

00:16:39This stuff right here.

00:16:41Hey, Luca.

00:16:41Shut the hell up.

00:16:43You're not part of this family.

00:16:45This is between me and Tony.

00:16:49Hey, Stacks.

00:16:50This is between me and my consi-

00:16:52Oh!

00:16:56Oh, my God.

00:17:00How you like that, huh?

00:17:02How you like that, punk?

00:17:03That's what it's about.

00:17:04Me and this guy taking over.

00:17:06Me and this family.

00:17:07My loyalty lies with Luca Crucifino.

00:17:15Talk about a turn of events.

00:17:20Guys, we're left with more questions than answers here on NXT.

00:17:27Obafemi, later tonight, we see Yoshiki Inomora battle Jasper Troy for the opportunity to challenge you at the Great American Bash for your NXT championship.

00:17:39So do you have any predictions or preference on who you face?

00:17:42Well, I can see why the WWE Universe has warmed up to Yoshiki Inomora in such a short amount of time.

00:17:48I just want to see if he has the grit and the tenacity to get past Jasper Troy because Jasper is very hungry.

00:17:54And 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.

00:18:01But no, no, no, no, no.

00:18:02That's not it.

00:18:03I want to see.

00:18:07Obafemi, tonight, I show you grit.

00:18:10I show you tenacity.

00:18:11I'm hungry for the biggest test.

00:18:19Josh, why don't you tell your boy to be ready?

00:18:22Because I missed all the chaos here on NXT, championships changing hands.

00:18:27There's one constant, and that is Obafemi.

00:18:29My way, remind yourself, I am not the hunted.

00:18:33I am the hunter.

00:18:34And the bigger name I put down, the more prestigious my reign becomes.

00:18:38So, I'll be seeing the winner very soon.

00:18:43You won't be waiting long.

00:18:46See you at the bash.

00:18:55My way, my life.

00:18:59Massive matchup still to come.

00:19:11The following podcast is scheduled for one fall.

00:19:15Introducing first, from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds,

00:19:21Lexus King!

00:19:24This man did a lot of talking last week to his opponent here tonight.

00:19:30The question is, can Lexus King back it up?

00:19:35King goes one-on-one with Miles Bourne next.

00:19:42And NXT on the CW is presented by Progressive.

00:19:47Save a new bundle, auto, home, and motorcycle insurance.

00:19:54And there is Lexus King, who last week tried to make a mockery out of the University of Florida

00:20:00and the Florida Gators there.

00:20:01Tyreek Sapp, George Gumbs Jr., they are here live tonight with the best seat in the house

00:20:06to see their boy, take on Lexus King.

00:20:21And his opponent, Wolf Wilmington, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds,

00:20:28Miles Bourne!

00:20:30Bourne!

00:20:32Bourne's certainly not alone tonight, has the Florida Gators here with him.

00:20:36But Graves, these two, they're different kinds of lone wolves.

00:20:40What did you say?

00:20:41And I'm asking you that because Lexus King last week said there was a lot of similarities.

00:20:45They had a lone wolf mentality.

00:20:47Some would say these are two completely different individuals.

00:20:50Some would say that Lexus King doesn't exactly have both boards in the water.

00:20:53What I'm curious to see tonight is what Miles Bourne truly is capable of going forward

00:20:58since freeing himself of no quarter catch group.

00:21:01We've seen flashes of greatness from Miles Bourne, but can he sustain it?

00:21:04This is a big test for both.

00:21:06And Booker, I'll come to you with the same thing.

00:21:08I mean, you've been a big fan of Lexus King.

00:21:10Do you see any similarities to what King was saying one week ago?

00:21:13I really can't say, but I can't say this.

00:21:15Cameraman, zoom in on the apps, man.

00:21:18Lexus King, the star of all television, is looking good.

00:21:23I don't think anybody wants to see any of that.

00:21:25Bourne had people around him.

00:21:27King, though, has always been alone, possibly because nobody wants to be around Lexus King.

00:21:32Come on, Lexus King.

00:21:33You've got to give this guy a lot of credit.

00:21:34I mean, I've been here with the cup champion.

00:21:36And in my opinion, what is best right now?

00:21:39Who's holding his own?

00:21:40Look at this, Miles Bourne.

00:21:41Somebody let you just step up.

00:21:42Look at that.

00:21:43Take me.

00:21:44Oh, my God.

00:21:44Can you teach that at your school?

00:21:46Yes, man.

00:21:47Step over the back.

00:21:48Step over the back.

00:21:49Classic booking fee strategy.

00:21:51This matchup continuing.

00:21:52Graves, did you see Byron Saxon sneaking around here all day today?

00:21:56Trying to get a football signed by the Florida Gators?

00:21:58The less we have to say about Byron Saxon, the better.

00:22:00Here's a Gator role being executed.

00:22:02I don't like that.

00:22:03Miles Bourne.

00:22:04He should add this to your repertoire, book.

00:22:06I don't like that.

00:22:07I don't like that at all.

00:22:08My thing is, Miles Bourne, this guy got a lot of talent.

00:22:10But I wonder, was it a mistake?

00:22:12Stepping away from the NQCC?

00:22:13Well, certainly right now, it doesn't look to be that way.

00:22:16Tipping the cap there to Saffer Cummings Jr. here, front row.

00:22:18Got everybody in the NXT universe doing the Florida Gator chomp when half the people here

00:22:23haven't graduated high school.

00:22:24I'll let you defend that later on on social media.

00:22:26Oh, and right now, big right hand from Bourne.

00:22:31Oh, my God.

00:22:33Drop kick.

00:22:33You see that?

00:22:35Very impressive athleticism.

00:22:36You're damn right.

00:22:37Alexis King.

00:22:38What is it?

00:22:39You call him, book?

00:22:39The star of all television?

00:22:41The star of all television, man.

00:22:42I'm talking about all over the world.

00:22:43This guy, look at the jawline.

00:22:45Look at the jawline.

00:22:46This guy, you can tell he's been working on his body.

00:22:49And right now, he's working over Miles Bourne.

00:22:51I see the jawline.

00:22:52I'll see the paint on his face, too.

00:22:53Who is now looking for maybe a Super Blacks.

00:22:58A God man.

00:22:59Floating right over into the cover.

00:23:01Hook of the leg and a kick out by Miles Bourne.

00:23:03Can we please give Lexus King a little bit of credit?

00:23:05All right, well, let me take this for you.

00:23:06You want to get a credit?

00:23:07Here's your chance to do it.

00:23:08Is Lexus King in position to be giving someone like the University of Florida Gators or even

00:23:13Miles Bourne advice?

00:23:14If it's a guy that went to the point that this guy had winning the Heritage Cup championship,

00:23:20and right now, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

00:23:22Yes, I would be taking advice.

00:23:23Yes, I would.

00:23:24King charging in.

00:23:27Big knife-edge.

00:23:29Certainly, though, Graves, is a different side of Lexus King than we've seen in the past.

00:23:33Let's speak on it then.

00:23:35Cover here.

00:23:35I'm trying, but neither of you are answering my questions because you're over-talking to

00:23:39him.

00:23:39He's sitting over here trying to answer.

00:23:41You love the guy.

00:23:41We know.

00:23:42I got this.

00:23:43Let's take another look at the tremendous athleticism and precision from the star of all television,

00:23:48Lexus King.

00:23:49How am I doing?

00:23:50Well, not you, too.

00:23:51I'll add to that.

00:23:52He sends a tactician.

00:23:53That's what he is right now because he's right there.

00:23:55Say that five times in a row.

00:23:57Lexus King.

00:23:58Oh.

00:23:59He just went up top, and now it is starting to turn into a slug basket.

00:24:03These two just do not like each other.

00:24:04Sometimes it's what it takes, though.

00:24:06Oh, no.

00:24:06Just let it get ugly.

00:24:07Start throwing hands.

00:24:08There was some illegal blows there, too, by Miles Bourne.

00:24:11Referee just let it go.

00:24:12Oh.

00:24:14Baby.

00:24:15I like that.

00:24:16I know what you did.

00:24:17I know what you did.

00:24:17You like it.

00:24:19I'm mostly impressed by the fact Lexus King trims his facial hair with an etch-a-sketch,

00:24:22but we'll get to that later.

00:24:24And now Bourne trying to fire back big right hand, and that slapped, Braves, and they have

00:24:29waken up Miles Bourne.

00:24:30No doubt about it.

00:24:31King in all types of trouble right now.

00:24:34Bourne really.

00:24:35I was going to say, this is the same Miles Bourne who took Obafemi, the NXT champion,

00:24:39to the limit not long ago.

00:24:40It's still to come.

00:24:41Jasper Troy, Inamora, winner will face Obafemi for the NXT title at the Great American Bash.

00:24:49Nice counter, though, by King for a moment.

00:24:50King looking for a kick.

00:24:52Got caught.

00:24:53Bourne now.

00:24:54They'd be waiting for that Olympic slam.

00:24:57High angle, drop center of the ring.

00:24:59Hook to the leg for the victory.

00:25:00And an earpaw.

00:25:01It's not going to be enough.

00:25:02You can't stop Lexus King that easy, man.

00:25:05Say something nice about Miles Bourne.

00:25:06How can Miles flourish on his own?

00:25:09No, no, I said that.

00:25:10I said that.

00:25:10King going to the eyes.

00:25:11Miles Bourne is in a perfect position to step out on his own, but like I say,

00:25:15leaving in QGC, that could have been a mistake, but sometimes you need pals.

00:25:19Sometimes you need buddies in this business.

00:25:21You're going to be looking for the coronation.

00:25:22That's funny because you always tell me it's not about friends and championships.

00:25:24I said pals, buddies.

00:25:27Big drop kick, though, from Miles Bourne.

00:25:30Under the jaw.

00:25:31King is rock.

00:25:32Gators are chomping.

00:25:33Bourne is focused.

00:25:35And bam!

00:25:37Dropping Lexus King center of the ring.

00:25:40And Bourne proves he didn't need the advice.

00:25:43Here is your winner, Miles Bourne.

00:25:51What a win for Miles Bourne, who continues to build momentum in NXT, celebrating with his

00:25:59friends and the Florida Gators.

00:26:01Let's go!

00:26:02Let's take a look at the next level.

00:26:06Athleticism of Miles Bourne.

00:26:07Drop kick right on the money.

00:26:09Boom!

00:26:10Followed up by something of a zigzag.

00:26:13Taking down the star of all television.

00:26:16Big win for Miles Bourne.

00:26:18And Miles ready to prove that hard work indeed pays off in NXT.

00:26:24Let's go!

00:26:25NXT's been nothing but chaos since Dark State popped out.

00:26:33We got an NXT superstar as TNA champ.

00:26:36Now we got a Noah wrestler gunning for the NXT title.

00:26:38Man, Hank and Tank get dropped.

00:26:40Everybody want to put their finger at it.

00:26:42Man, all I'm saying is, everything that's going on around here, because Dark State allows

00:26:46it.

00:26:46Man, we see everything.

00:26:48It's our playground.

00:26:49And chaos is our game.

00:26:50Man, so y'all might as well get used to it.

00:26:53Go ahead and get comfortable, because if we catch y'all lagging, there ain't no saving

00:26:58you, bruh.

00:26:58Because we can slide anywhere, anyplace, anytime.

00:27:03Hey, bruh.

00:27:04Matter of fact, I think I know where we finna go next.

00:27:08But y'all don't.

00:27:17I'm a grown-ass woman.

00:27:19I want nobody to be down.

00:27:24You want me to be down.

00:27:25The following podcast is scheduled for one call.

00:27:29Introducing right from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Thea Hale.

00:27:36Seems to be a little extra fired up tonight, Graves.

00:27:39Is that even possible?

00:27:40This woman has boundless energy.

00:27:43I suggest yoga, maybe some breath work.

00:27:46Thea Hale getting ready to take on Lady Reed.

00:27:48Next.

00:27:53Welcome back to NXT.

00:28:01And her opponent, from Gatsby, Alabama, Lainey Reed.

00:28:07As Booker fans himself to cool himself down, Graves, how impressed with Reed were you after

00:28:14she stood toe-to-toe with the NXT Women's Champion, J.C. Jane?

00:28:18It's a fantastic way to introduce yourself to the NXT universe as Lainey Reed did.

00:28:22But the trouble is, she claimed that she was going to be the one to beat J.C. Jane and was unable to do so.

00:28:28Tonight is of the utmost importance to show the rest of the world who Lainey Reed truly is.

00:28:32Lainey is looking to become the biggest, the largest here in NXT, man.

00:28:37Oh, yes!

00:28:39I'll ask you to elaborate on that, but the bell is about to ring and we're about to get underway between these two.

00:28:45And on the topic of Jane, she faces Jordan Grace, WWE Evolution for the NXT Women's Championship in Atlanta,

00:28:51July 13th, right after the Great American Bash.

00:28:55Tia Hale, Graves, is there a part of you that thinks Thea got the short end of the stick?

00:29:00Remember, she did tap out Jada Parker.

00:29:03Listen, I understand the frustration of Tia Hale, who right now is just unloading its speed.

00:29:08Appears as though Thea has had enough.

00:29:10Whoa.

00:29:10Maybe she's tired of being overlooked.

00:29:12And you're right, Jada Parker, let's call it what it is, outstrategized, outsmarted Thea.

00:29:16But right now, Thea on a mission into the cover, hooked the leg.

00:29:19Oh, Booker, if you go back to what Graves is talking about, is that sort of a wake-up call of sorts for someone like Thea Hale?

00:29:25I mean, I think it is because, I mean, right now, Thea Hale, I mean, she's her worst enemy.

00:29:31Right now, she had that next one against Jada Parker.

00:29:33But you cannot let this bitch just give away.

00:29:37Right there, the referee didn't do his job.

00:29:39He didn't break the hole.

00:29:40She shot the hole goal.

00:29:41That was a mistake, a big mistake.

00:29:43She's trying to get over the events of that Evolution Eliminator and trying to counter him,

00:29:47but instead got dropped base first by Reed.

00:29:49Reed followed the German suit.

00:29:51I see something, Eleni Reed.

00:29:53She's got that impact.

00:29:54She's looking at the big, big star here.

00:29:56And then he's looking at the blue and the boom.

00:29:58I love it, man.

00:30:00Southern sensation certainly turning heads very quickly here at NXT.

00:30:05You see that?

00:30:06You see that, D?

00:30:07That boom right to the snout?

00:30:08I love it, man.

00:30:10The greatest snout on the side of your head.

00:30:13Got her in the ear, Book.

00:30:14He's just excited right now.

00:30:15I can tell.

00:30:16Stop reading.

00:30:17Laney's got you feeling some kind of way, Book.

00:30:19I get it.

00:30:20I told you he's fanning himself when we started the thing.

00:30:22Graves, how deep is the NXT women's division when you truly look at it all jokingly side?

00:30:26I mean, I don't think I can state it adequately enough.

00:30:29I mean, every time one star goes to Raw or SmackDown, you've got, it seems like three more pop up.

00:30:34It's a great problem to have.

00:30:36It's a deep women's division, and it continues to evolve.

00:30:39Eleni Reed now taking her time.

00:30:41And last week, Booker, it was Reed who said, Thea gets played like a fiddle.

00:30:46I'm sure you agree.

00:30:47Not only that, Laney Reed, she stepped in right off the rip.

00:30:50Call out, baby.

00:30:52Call out to the champ.

00:30:53And my thing is this.

00:30:54Is this a UFC?

00:30:55Is this a UFC?

00:30:56They call us.

00:30:57I love it, man.

00:30:58That's what Laney Reed is all about.

00:31:00Well, we take a look a little bit deeper at Laney Reed and some of the comments she's made with call outs.

00:31:04To Booker's point, Gravy, is Reed right with the things she has said about Thea Hale,

00:31:08specifically that she hasn't changed one bit since we've been chasing you?

00:31:12Oh, take a look at this.

00:31:14Powerful.

00:31:15Oh, wow.

00:31:16Shoulder breaker.

00:31:17Executed excellently into a cover hook of the leg and somehow Thea able to kick out.

00:31:23Back to your question, Vic.

00:31:23I sort of have to agree with Laney Reed, but I do want to take another look at this.

00:31:28Double eye.

00:31:29Shoulder breaker.

00:31:30That could have ended it.

00:31:31Credit to Thea Hale for surviving.

00:31:32But I agree.

00:31:33I've said something similar.

00:31:35Thea Hale wanted so bad to be, as she put it, a grown-ass woman to stand on her own two feet.

00:31:40And really nothing has changed about her strategy or her approach to the ring.

00:31:44Thea Hale last week also admitted that adulting is hard.

00:31:50The locker room is mean as she's trying to get back into this match.

00:31:53And who said that?

00:31:54Thea Hale said that.

00:31:55A grown woman said that?

00:31:56Yes.

00:31:57I've just given up.

00:31:58It's a selfish business, man.

00:31:59You're going to be thinking about eight number one right now.

00:32:02Thea Hale is doing that in this matchup.

00:32:04But can she continue to do that?

00:32:05That's the mindset.

00:32:06Stay focused, Thea.

00:32:07Stay focused.

00:32:08And Thea charging right in and trying to turn this matchup around.

00:32:12Into the cover.

00:32:12Another hook to the leg.

00:32:14And a kick out by Laney Reed getting that inside shoulder up.

00:32:17Listen, in my opinion, I think Thea needs to take what she has, which is a seemingly endless amount of energy.

00:32:23She's frenetic.

00:32:24She's frantic.

00:32:24If she can channel it, if she can focus it, use it in bursts, in spurts, rather than just nonstop chaos, it might serve Thea well in the future.

00:32:33All right.

00:32:33Now, Laney Reed again looking for some high-impact offense counter by Thea Hale.

00:32:38Hale charging right back in.

00:32:39We've seen this in the past.

00:32:40Oh, wait a minute.

00:32:41We're going to be trying to lock in that Kimura.

00:32:43It's a smart strategy by Laney, though.

00:32:45Oh.

00:32:45Taking the feet out into the cover.

00:32:47Big ref.

00:32:48Ref.

00:32:48And Laney Reed.

00:32:49Nice job by our official.

00:32:51Thea Hale got caught the last time.

00:32:54That was smart.

00:32:54And right from behind Thea Hale this time.

00:32:56Rolling up center of the ring.

00:32:58And ooh.

00:33:00Good job by our officiating crew here tonight.

00:33:03Oh.

00:33:03That's it.

00:33:04That's it.

00:33:06My word.

00:33:06But hey, hey.

00:33:09What the?

00:33:11A huge role winner.

00:33:13Laney Reed.

00:33:14You were so eager to tattle last time.

00:33:16Why don't you get our official's attention?

00:33:18Got to admit, it not only was Reed holding the ropes, it appeared.

00:33:23Thea had her hand.

00:33:24This is a shocking upset.

00:33:26The sticks, man.

00:33:27You know that.

00:33:30And the cover began to turn with the ring.

00:33:32That's why they say that boy is bouncing.

00:33:34I know he's really bouncing.

00:33:35We know he's bouncing.

00:33:36But Tavion, you were so close to beating Javon last week.

00:33:39And selfishly, I'm glad you're still in the group.

00:33:41Yeah, well, imagine having a face mask on the whole time.

00:33:44I know.

00:33:44I'll tell you what Jasper ended up doing to Javon.

00:33:46Wasn't that what you were meant to do to him?

00:33:49And you didn't.

00:33:50And look what happened.

00:33:51You lost.

00:33:52Which just proves my point that you still need more time in the NQCC.

00:33:56Does it, Charlie?

00:33:57Yes, it does.

00:33:58Look, I'm not making no excuses, all right?

00:33:59I lost.

00:34:00Cool.

00:34:01But you know what?

00:34:01I want the exact deal you offered, Miles.

00:34:03A one-on-one match against you.

00:34:05And if I win, I'm out, dog.

00:34:08I don't think you want to do that, Tavion.

00:34:09That's going to be two losses in a row for you.

00:34:11No, I mean, I think he does.

00:34:12That is what you just said.

00:34:13All right.

00:34:13Thank you very much, Ren.

00:34:14I can hear you.

00:34:15You're right next to me.

00:34:16Look, Tavion, if you really want that match so bad, fine.

00:34:20But here's the thing.

00:34:21When I win, this conversation we're having, it's not happening again.

00:34:25That's also fair.

00:34:29It's a good deal.

00:34:30It's a good deal.

00:35:00The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.

00:35:08Introducing first the team of Saria and the NXT Women's North American Champion, Sol Ruka.

00:35:19Well, we 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.

00:35:31Paxley 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.

00:35:56And now I'm only one match away from the rematch that I want.

00:36:01And 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.

00:36:15Truth will ultimately prevail, but there's pain bringing it to light.

00:36:24And the reporters, the team are Tatum Paxley and the coolant, Izzy Dane.

00:36:50Look, 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 or Sol Ruka?

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 Zal Ruka.

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,

00:37:43somewhere down the line, we're going to be talking about

00:37:46how did we see this coming?

00:37:48Zaria is going to stick it to Sol Ruka.

00:37:50You ever have a conversation with Zaria?

00:37:51Nope.

00:37:53Well, where are you jumping to conclude?

00:37:55Whoa, wait a minute.

00:37:59Zaria is on.

00:38:00Izzy 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 Zal 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, for the women's North American title?

00:38:18Or do you think it's because Zaria 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.

00:38:32Zaria looks at that North American championship some kind of way.

00:38:35You ain't lied.

00:38:36There's a method to the madness, man, with Zaria.

00:38:40I feel the same way, man.

00:38:42You can't trust her.

00:38:43DTA.

00:38:44Great minds.

00:38:45Still to come, we will hear from the number one contender to the NXT

00:38:48Women'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?

00:38:58Tatum Paxley and Izzy Dame working extremely well together.

00:39:01That is also hard to argue, Izzy Dame, bringing of sorts some dowels to Tatum Paxley last week.

00:39:09This is a peace offering, Vic.

00:39:10It's like when you hand out candy to the people around ringside.

00:39:14It's like a cheer for you.

00:39:15That's 100% why I do it.

00:39:16Izzy Dame's still in control of this matchup tag, and right back in Tatum Paxley.

00:39:21And as I was mentioning, the NXT Women's Championship to be defended at Evolution.

00:39:25First Evolution in seven years.

00:39:27The champion the last time, 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.

00:39:45Got 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's looking for a friend, and I think she's found one in Izzy Dame.

00:39:56I mean, 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.

00:40:07You know, Booker, 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?

00:40:21Someone who was able to manipulate a situation against Sean Spears, the North American Championship, several months ago?

00:40:27I see a woman who lent a helping hand, as you so eloquently put it, to someone who was down on her 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.

00:40:45I 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.

00:40:53It's like Graves is good.

00:40:55Graves can sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves.

00:40:58A ketchup popsicle?

00:41:00And now, big right hand from Soul, firing right back on Izzy, who fires back in her own right.

00:41:06And it's almost as if these, oh, look at these women, are fighting over Tatum Paxley, who 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 to save her.

00:41:16They're trying to help her.

00:41:16Oh, beautiful.

00:41:18Tatum Paxley.

00:41:19They're trying to kick out.

00:41:20Listen, you know what?

00:41:21Sol Ruka needs to be concerned about the North American Championship.

00:41:25You know what Zari needs to be concerned about?

00:41:27How to take the North American Championship or how to put herself in the NXT women's title picture.

00:41:31Boom.

00:41:32Crossbody, a thing of beauty from Tatum Paxley, who is wildly talented in the small instances when she gets her head right.

00:41:39Well, as we also focus in on this, too, Booker, regardless of personal feelings,

00:41:43as she just is tagged out of the matchup.

00:41:46Izzy Dame has certainly dominated the field since joining the club.

00:41:49Izzy Dame, I would call her the leader of the club.

00:41:53She's been making all the power plays.

00:41:55If she can get a win tonight, definitely, definitely that would be a big, big, big, big, big checkmark.

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.

00:42:09And Zaria.

00:42:09Zarkboy.

00:42:10Zarkboy.

00:42:11Zarkboy.

00:42:12One more time.

00:42:13Zarkboy.

00:42:14Third time.

00:42:14The charm right down on Izzy Dame.

00:42:17And now look at the power of Zaria.

00:42:19Just tossing out Tatum onto Izzy.

00:42:22Zaruca standing tall here on NXT.

00:42:26Don't say that again, bro.

00:42:34Zaria, Zaruca been in control up until this moment.

00:42:38And, oh, Tatum, Paxley, Izzy Dame, making their presence known,

00:42:44making it felt as Spears, Nico Vance on the outside, cheering on Tatum.

00:42:48Booker, what do you think the rest of the Cully thinks 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 Cully.

00:42:57Especially, like I say, we get a victory tonight.

00:43:00Everything's lovely, man.

00:43:02Spears, Vancey, insurance policy on the outside.

00:43:04Zaria 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 could mean for the Cully.

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.

00:43:24From Izzy and Tatum.

00:43:25Iabolical.

00:43:26So, you agree with what Booker said, that the Cully 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 to 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.

00:43:59Oh!

00:44:00Oh!

00:44:00It was symbolic.

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 somersaw leg drop.

00:44:17For Tatum Paxley, partners, friends have left her in the past.

00:44:21Some unexpected.

00:44:22Maybe, let me, I'll look at it the other way.

00:44:24Maybe, just maybe, she found a true friend, Booker, in Izzy Davis.

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 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,

00:44:47tasted the success, sulked in failure.

00:44:50Hook of the leg.

00:44:51Off the Instagram.

00:44:53Spears is a wealth of knowledge.

00:44:55And when you take these people, again,

00:44:56who, 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,

00:45:04but build them back up.

00:45:06You 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 that dance baby.

00:45:14Oh, yes.

00:45:15God, it's cool.

00:45:16That's right.

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

00:45:27to continue this matchup and for the culling.

00:45:30A tag was made.

00:45:31Izzy Dame back in.

00:45:32And this tangible.

00:45:33Oh!

00:45:34Wow.

00:45:34Sorry, I got the knees up just in time.

00:45:36Oh, tag.

00:45:37And here comes a women's North American champion

00:45:40who's finding her own ways to turn the tables in this matchup.

00:45:44In the nick of time, too, because Zarya 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.

00:45:53Wow.

00:45:53Come on, Izzy.

00:45:58Izzy running it.

00:45:59Oh.

00:46:00Tag was made.

00:46:01That's a unique tag for Zarya.

00:46:04He was just able to get out of the matchup.

00:46:05But nonetheless, working like a world-oiled machine.

00:46:08So Ruka just needed a solid base to launch that attack.

00:46:12Zarya 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 coup d'etat.

00:46:22Oh, man.

00:46:23With a little extra twist.

00:46:26Into the cover goes Zarya, who is legal for her team.

00:46:29And running off the bat, breaking it up, was Tatum.

00:46:33This 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 Culley.

00:46:41I say, Tatum Paxley has so much talent.

00:46:44It's just about holding that talent and breaking it out.

00:46:46Right now, Zarya going for a picture.

00:46:48Oh, no.

00:46:48Code breaker by Izzy.

00:46:50And you know Izzy right now.

00:46:51Izzy looking for Tatum.

00:46:52And there's no Tatum.

00:46:54What the hell is she?

00:46:55What do you mean, where the hell is she?

00:46:56It's just Zarya 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.

00:47:07Zarya just pierced soul.

00:47:11That's not what Zarya'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.

00:47:30Izzy could be part of the culling sit-down style.

00:47:34And Izzy just pinned the Women's North American Champion.

00:47:38Here are your winners.

00:47:40Tatum Paxley.

00:47:41And Izzy did.

00:47:43Take a look at this.

00:47:56A sight to behold for sure.

00:47:59Tatum Paxley shoving Izzy Dame out of Zarya's path.

00:48:03Zarya takes out Sol Ruka.

00:48:07And as Zarya tries to reconcile what just happened,

00:48:10Paxley takes care of business on the outside.

00:48:13Izzy Dame with a sky-high powerbomb on the inside.

00:48:18Nothing will bond the new team faster than a big-time win.

00:48:25Zarya's team is looking up in heartbreak

00:48:28with the warm embrace of Izzy and Tatum and the culling.

00:48:34You know, if you guys wanted my honest opinion,

00:48:44I would tell you that Ethan is, like, the last person

00:48:47that 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

00:48:53if we could have a civil conversation...

00:48:55Nothing 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

00:49:14and I have to send you back to the hospital,

00:49:16they're here to protect you.

00:49:17Now, as far as this rematch goes, Ricky,

00:49:22please keep up with the times.

00:49:23Oleg Weeth and Page is the North American champion,

00:49:26the greatest North American to hold it.

00:49:28And going forward, I will be dictating

00:49:30every single thing about this championship

00:49:33on my terms.

00:49:34Oh, wow.

00:49:35Your terms, huh?

00:49:36Just 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

00:49:45and 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

00:49:51if and only if you survive

00:49:54the Vanity Project gauntlet.

00:49:58A gauntlet?

00:49:59Oh, okay.

00:50:00Ethan, you can't...

00:50:01You okay?

00:50:02You can't do...

00:50:02Sorry.

00:50:05Ethan, you can't do that to me.

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

00:50:16because, in fact, when I beat the gauntlet,

00:50:20I get to dictate stipulation for a murdery match.

00:50:23I love that.

00:50:24Okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

00:50:26No, sorry, champ.

00:50:27That is a done deal.

00:50:29Next week will be Ricky Saints

00:50:30versus the Vanity Project

00:50:31and the Vanity Project gauntlet match.

00:50:34Perfect.

00:50:35Perfect.

00:50:36You're right.

00:50:36Right.

00:50:37You got it, though.

00:50:38Easy.

00:50:39Hundos.

00:50:40Shut up.

00:50:40I'm not worried.

00:50:41You're going to crush this.

00:50:42I want you in this spot.

00:50:43After reflecting on last week,

00:50:56Uriah,

00:50:56you made me realize

00:50:58that it might be time for this old dog

00:51:00to learn some new tricks.

00:51:03So,

00:51:04I want to apologize.

00:51:06Tough love is the only way that I know.

00:51:08But,

00:51:09if it wasn't for you two,

00:51:11I would have never reopened Chase University.

00:51:14Hell,

00:51:14when I heard Kel call out for me

00:51:15the day that I emptied out my classroom,

00:51:17in my darkest of days,

00:51:19I felt a glimmer of hope.

00:51:21And I don't want to lose sight of that.

00:51:23So, Kel,

00:51:24next week,

00:51:25I got you a singles match.

00:51:27Hey!

00:51:30And while I know my methods aren't for everyone,

00:51:32I do want to be better.

00:51:34If you boys will allow it.

00:51:36Mr. Chase,

00:51:37thank you.

00:51:39Apology accepted.

00:51:40Come on.

00:51:41Bring it in.

00:51:42A hug?

00:51:42Bring it in.

00:51:43You're okay.

00:51:44Wow.

00:51:45Hey, Mr. Chase,

00:51:46it's never too late to grow.

00:51:48It's breaking those toxic patterns,

00:51:50you know what I mean?

00:51:51Kel,

00:51:52Uriah and I,

00:51:52will be out there with you.

00:51:53Just promise

00:51:54that you'll listen to me

00:51:55and that you'll use

00:51:56what you've learned

00:51:56over the past few weeks

00:51:57to show them that you are...

00:51:59Can I say it?

00:52:01Is that toxic?

00:52:02I mean, 100% you can say it.

00:52:03Just with, you know,

00:52:04not at.

00:52:05Okay.

00:52:06And show them that you are...

00:52:08Chase, you tough!

00:52:09Whoa!

00:52:10Yes!

00:52:17You know, guys,

00:52:18I can only hope

00:52:19that Kel and Uriah

00:52:20finally smarten up

00:52:21and break free from Chase U

00:52:23because it's a sinking ship.

00:52:24It's a giant anchor.

00:52:25I'd ask Booker,

00:52:26but I already know

00:52:27what his answer would be.

00:52:28But right now,

00:52:28we understand that Kelly Kincaid

00:52:30is standing by

00:52:30with TNA wrestlers

00:52:31Joe Hendry

00:52:32and Mike Santana.

00:52:36Joe Hendry,

00:52:36we started the night off

00:52:37with a bang.

00:52:38You scored a victory

00:52:39over Wesley

00:52:40with surprise help

00:52:42from one of your opponents

00:52:43at Slammiversary.

00:52:44You,

00:52:45Mike Santana.

00:52:46Mike,

00:52:47I appreciate you

00:52:48coming out

00:52:48and helping

00:52:49to take care of

00:52:49High Rise,

00:52:50but...

00:52:51Check it.

00:52:52You and I

00:52:52are throwing hands

00:52:53in two and a half weeks

00:52:54at Slammiversary.

00:52:55But the reality is

00:52:56that we're united

00:52:57when it comes to

00:52:58defending TNA

00:52:59against guys like

00:53:00Trick and High Rise.

00:53:02Well,

00:53:02from the desk

00:53:03of our GM Ava,

00:53:04you two

00:53:05will be teaming up

00:53:06next week

00:53:06to take on High Rise.

00:53:08Well, look, Kelly,

00:53:08I don't think

00:53:09I'm going to get the invite

00:53:09to the Santana barbecue

00:53:11anytime soon.

00:53:12But you know what?

00:53:12That doesn't matter.

00:53:13We're completely

00:53:14different people,

00:53:15but we do have

00:53:16one thing in common,

00:53:17and that's a quest

00:53:18to bring back

00:53:19the TNA World Championship

00:53:21back to TNA.

00:53:23Well, as much as I believe,

00:53:25don't get too excited,

00:53:27that Joe's a cornball,

00:53:29he reps TNA to the max.

00:53:31But let me make

00:53:32something real clear

00:53:33to you, Joe.

00:53:34I'm going to be the one

00:53:35that's bringing

00:53:36the TNA World title

00:53:37back home

00:53:38where it belongs.

00:53:39So get ready

00:53:40for Slammiversary.

00:53:42That job

00:53:42is fit for one man

00:53:44and you're looking at him.

00:53:47Either way,

00:53:48Slammiversary's

00:53:48right around the corner,

00:53:49but first,

00:53:55between these two men

00:53:56and Trick Williams.

00:53:58Back to you, Vic.

00:54:00You got this.

00:54:01I believe in you.

00:54:02You're going to be the one

00:54:03to beat Obafemi.

00:54:05You're going to dethrone

00:54:05the ruler

00:54:06at the Great American Bash.

00:54:08I got it

00:54:08for both of us.

00:54:10I got this.

00:54:16Good luck, man.

00:56:43Hey!

00:56:43I wish you would!

00:56:45I wish you would!

00:56:46Look, guys,

00:56:48there is never a dull moment

00:56:49for our general manager.

00:56:51And his opponent,

00:56:59weight 200

00:57:00and 42 pounds,

00:57:03Yoshiki

00:57:04Inamura!

00:57:08Corey, are you ready

00:57:09for this?

00:57:10Some human demolition derby?

00:57:13I hope they reinforce

00:57:14the ring for this one

00:57:15because these are

00:57:16two heavy hitters.

00:57:18Yoshiki Inamura

00:57:19who was bold enough

00:57:20to step up

00:57:21in the face

00:57:22of Omifemi

00:57:23and say,

00:57:23I want a shot

00:57:24at the ruler.

00:57:25Unfortunately for Yoshiki,

00:57:27Jasper Troy

00:57:28believes he has

00:57:29unfinished business

00:57:30as well.

00:57:31This one's too close

00:57:32to call.

00:57:33Look at the eyes

00:57:34on Jasper Troy.

00:57:36You know what he's thinking?

00:57:37What do you think?

00:57:37Well, you know,

00:57:42we've heard from

00:57:42his coach on LFG,

00:57:44obviously.

00:57:45Corey, I want to get

00:57:46your thoughts.

00:57:46How scary truly

00:57:48can Troy be?

00:57:48I think the sky

00:57:50is the limit

00:57:51and beyond.

00:57:52I mean,

00:57:52to use a cliche,

00:57:53Jasper Troy

00:57:54with terrifying

00:57:55athleticism cover

00:57:56to a man of his size.

00:57:59And Booker,

00:57:59correct me if I'm wrong.

00:58:00I don't think

00:58:01I'm out of line

00:58:01by saying Jasper Troy

00:58:03sort of reminds me

00:58:04of someone you're familiar

00:58:04with in your TNA days,

00:58:06the Monster Abyss.

00:58:07Yes.

00:58:07But sort of a modern era

00:58:09faster,

00:58:10maybe even a little bit bigger.

00:58:11Look at this guy,

00:58:13Jasper Troy.

00:58:13He's 6'5",

00:58:15300 pounds,

00:58:16and that's down

00:58:17from 330.

00:58:19That tells me

00:58:19this dude is serious, man.

00:58:21Another cover,

00:58:22hook of the leg

00:58:22and a kick out.

00:58:23It's time to take a look

00:58:24at tonight's NXT recap

00:58:25presented by Progressive.

00:58:28You know,

00:58:28Booker kind of

00:58:29touched on it earlier.

00:58:30I mean,

00:58:30just think about

00:58:31what Jasper Troy

00:58:33did to Obafemi

00:58:34in the first meeting.

00:58:35What he could do

00:58:36to Obafemi

00:58:37at the Great American Bash.

00:58:40I mean,

00:58:40it's downright scary.

00:58:41And Booker,

00:58:42are you still even

00:58:43questioning

00:58:43Anamora's thought process

00:58:45after the last several months?

00:58:46You're damn right.

00:58:47I'm wondering

00:58:48what the hell

00:58:49is he thinking

00:58:49getting in the ring

00:58:51with this monster,

00:58:52Jasper Troy.

00:58:53And let me tell you right now,

00:58:55Jasper,

00:58:56it's about business.

00:58:57It's about putting food

00:58:58on the table,

00:58:59which makes this dude

00:59:00very dangerous.

00:59:02It's about honor

00:59:03for Yoshiki Anamora

00:59:04who wants to go back

00:59:05someday to Japan

00:59:06with a story

00:59:07to be proud of

00:59:08with a list of accolades

00:59:09a mile long.

00:59:10And trust me, Booker,

00:59:11you know Anamora

00:59:12has a sumo background.

00:59:14Yoshiki's no stranger

00:59:15to mixing it up

00:59:16with some heavy hitters,

00:59:17heavy dudes

00:59:18like 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 Anamora

00:59:24who went back to Japan

00:59:25only to realize

00:59:27the things he missed

00:59:28as he right now

00:59:29is 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

00:59:35and the kick out.

00:59:35He missed his tag team partner.

00:59:36He missed this brand.

00:59:37He missed the passion

00:59:38of the fans.

00:59:39He wants to pay them back

00:59:40by becoming

00:59:41the NXT champion

00:59:42in Atlanta.

00:59:45Listen, Yoshiki Inamora

00:59:46able to settle in now,

00:59:47strategize a little bit better

00:59:49after weathering

00:59:50the early storm

00:59:51of Jasper Troy.

00:59:53And speaking of the NXT champion,

00:59:54there you see Obafemi

00:59:56looking on.

00:59:57He will face

00:59:58one of these two men

00:59:59in Atlanta

01:00:00at the Great American Bash.

01:00:03And he's going to have

01:00:04to be ready

01:00:04for two absolute powerhouses

01:00:07as Inamora in control.

01:00:08We saw several weeks ago

01:00:10Obafemi just barely

01:00:12getting past Jasper Troy.

01:00:14Obafemi has yet

01:00:14to mix it up properly

01:00:15with Yoshiki Inamora.

01:00:17And Inamora right now,

01:00:18nothing fancy.

01:00:19Side headlock

01:00:20just trying to wear down

01:00:22Jasper Troy.

01:00:23And this is where

01:00:23that sumo power,

01:00:25that background

01:00:25of Inamora plays in.

01:00:27He can wear you down.

01:00:28He's incredibly powerful.

01:00:30You ever seen

01:00:30a sumo train, Vic?

01:00:31I have not.

01:00:32It's unbelievable.

01:00:33I had the honor

01:00:33of being invited

01:00:34to a dojo

01:00:34many years back

01:00:35in Japan.

01:00:36And you want to talk

01:00:37about some intense,

01:00:38powerful training.

01:00:39These guys,

01:00:40I mean,

01:00:40some of them

01:00:41are strong enough

01:00:41to flip cards.

01:00:42And that's no exaggeration.

01:00:43Let me tell you right now,

01:00:44Inamora's just hanging on

01:00:46for dear life right now.

01:00:47Trying to buy some time.

01:00:49That's the way I see it.

01:00:50I don't know what the hell

01:00:51you talking about, Graves.

01:00:53Oh, Graves is

01:00:54this where you're just

01:00:56alluding to.

01:00:56Just watch and learn,

01:00:56my friend.

01:01:01Kasper might have

01:01:01his second thoughts.

01:01:03Yeah, and there goes

01:01:03Inamora.

01:01:04There we go.

01:01:05Coming back in.

01:01:06Oh, no.

01:01:07Big sidewalk slam.

01:01:08This is America.

01:01:10This is weird in Japan.

01:01:11This ain't a super match.

01:01:13Well, it's all about

01:01:14the American dream.

01:01:15And one of these men

01:01:16may be headed

01:01:16to the Great American Bash

01:01:18to achieve that dream,

01:01:19becoming the NXT champion.

01:01:22Well, listen,

01:01:23they got monsters

01:01:23in Japan, too, Booker.

01:01:25Think about it.

01:01:25Godzilla.

01:01:27Tensai.

01:01:29Giant Bernard

01:01:30has Inamora

01:01:31looking down in control.

01:01:33who is headed

01:01:34to Atlanta.

01:01:35Who's going to face

01:01:35Obafemi?

01:01:45Got all of it.

01:01:49Obafemi said

01:01:50he would relish

01:01:50a fight with someone

01:01:51who shares

01:01:52his warrior spirit.

01:01:53And these two

01:01:55certainly fit

01:01:56the bill, Graves.

01:01:57This is incredible

01:01:57physicality on both sides.

01:01:59Here comes Troy.

01:02:00Big splash.

01:02:02Sending a message.

01:02:04You ain't got to worry

01:02:05about this dude

01:02:05by this monster.

01:02:07You ain't got to worry

01:02:07about 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.

01:02:16Inamora still

01:02:17with some fight left.

01:02:18Booker,

01:02:18is Troy the first man

01:02:20you've seen

01:02:21put doubt

01:02:22in the mind

01:02:23of Obafemi.

01:02:23Yeah, I mean

01:02:24because he stands

01:02:256'5".

01:02:26He goes toe-to-toe

01:02:27with a man

01:02:28like Obafemi.

01:02:29Oba has to know

01:02:30that he's beatable.

01:02:31He's beatable.

01:02:32He's been there before.

01:02:33And this man,

01:02:34this man,

01:02:35Jasper Troy,

01:02:36could stop him

01:02:37at the gate.

01:02:38Jasper Troy

01:02:38told the universe

01:02:39the day he signed

01:02:40his contract

01:02:41into the cover.

01:02:42Another hook

01:02:42of the leg

01:02:43that he would make

01:02:45an impact.

01:02:46And Graves,

01:02:46this man has not lied.

01:02:48No doubt about it.

01:02:49Jasper Troy

01:02:50called his shot

01:02:51and he's delivered

01:02:51everything just short

01:02:53of becoming

01:02:54NXT champion.

01:02:55And as we've been

01:02:55talking about

01:02:56through the duration

01:02:56of this match,

01:02:57Troy pushed the ruler

01:02:59to his limit.

01:03:00We thought on

01:03:01multiple occasions

01:03:02we were going to have

01:03:02a new kingpin

01:03:03in NXT

01:03:04named Jasper Troy.

01:03:05And if you even

01:03:06go back to last week,

01:03:07he dropped Inamora.

01:03:09He got back

01:03:09in the face

01:03:10of Obafemi

01:03:11and said,

01:03:11we are not done

01:03:13as now Jasper Troy

01:03:14may be looking for

01:03:14an abdominal stretch

01:03:16of sorts.

01:03:16Inamora doing a nice job

01:03:17of trying to counter.

01:03:18Round and round

01:03:19they go.

01:03:19Inamora finally breaks

01:03:21the hole

01:03:21and gets a little

01:03:22bit of separation.

01:03:23Great action right there

01:03:24from Inamora

01:03:25just to keep

01:03:26his feet moving.

01:03:28And listen,

01:03:29I'm going to be honest,

01:03:29maybe I overestimated

01:03:30Inamora

01:03:31because Inamora

01:03:32is looking like

01:03:33he's in a world

01:03:33of trouble right now

01:03:34and he desperately

01:03:35needs a few moments

01:03:36to recompose himself.

01:03:38I don't necessarily

01:03:38think you're wrong,

01:03:39Graves,

01:03:39but I think that also

01:03:40just goes to the power

01:03:41that Jasper Troy

01:03:42possesses.

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 Inamora

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

01:03:54rising up like someone

01:03:55out of a horror movie

01:03:56coming right back in

01:03:57and this is where

01:03:58that demolition derby

01:03:59is starting to come out.

01:04:00Big boss man slam

01:04:04into the cover

01:04:06and Inamora

01:04:07Jasper Troy was so close.

01:04:11Take another look

01:04:13at just how close.

01:04:14Around we go,

01:04:15nearly put through

01:04:16the center of the ring.

01:04:18You call it a boss man slam.

01:04:19That would have gone black hole.

01:04:21Either way,

01:04:22almost the end

01:04:23of Yoshiki Inamora.

01:04:25Inamora got on his feet

01:04:26right there,

01:04:27but the big man's

01:04:27going to follow up.

01:04:29Oh, another splash

01:04:30didn'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.

01:04:36As you would say,

01:04:38target has been acquired

01:04:39and unleashing fury

01:04:41is Inamora.

01:04:44Oh.

01:04:46A little extra.

01:04:47And Inamora right now

01:04:48showing even another page

01:04:51in his own play ball.

01:04:53Showing another lair,

01:04:54if you will, baby.

01:04:55You gotta be kidding me.

01:04:57He 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

01:05:03the number one contender

01:05:04to the NXT championship.

01:05:07Round and round they go.

01:05:09Inamora.

01:05:10Wow.

01:05:10Again, overpowering

01:05:11Jasper Troy.

01:05:12Quaker, you gotta start

01:05:14believing, man.

01:05:14I'm impressed.

01:05:15I'm impressed with Inamora

01:05:17right now.

01:05:17He's going up top

01:05:18for that bomb.

01:05:20He's going to kind of

01:05:20drop it out

01:05:21the big man.

01:05:22We've seen this before

01:05:23in the past.

01:05:26Now that

01:05:27Yoshiki

01:05:28picked up

01:05:30looked up.

01:05:33Here is the winner

01:05:34and the new

01:05:36number one contender

01:05:37to the NXT championship,

01:05:41Yoshiki Inamora.

01:05:46Inamora is headed

01:05:48to the great American match.

01:05:50We weren't certain

01:05:52that Inamora

01:05:53had what it took

01:05:54to knock off

01:05:55the powerhouse

01:05:56Jasper Troy.

01:05:58Well, Yoshiki Inamora

01:05:59was all too eager

01:06:00to prove us all wrong.

01:06:03Massive splash

01:06:04from the top

01:06:05and Yoshiki Inamora

01:06:07has earned the right

01:06:09to step up

01:06:10and challenge

01:06:11the ruler.

01:06:12Because it is now

01:06:14official.

01:06:15Inamora

01:06:16is headed

01:06:18to Atlanta

01:06:19to face

01:06:33That's going to look
