Transcript

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

00:08Introduce you first from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Thea Hale.

00:15Seems to be a little extra fired up tonight, Graves.

00:18Is that even possible?

00:19This woman has boundless energy.

00:22I suggest yoga, maybe some breath work.

00:25Thea Hale getting ready to take on Lainey Reed next.

00:30Welcome back to NXT.

00:40And her opponent from Gatsden, Alabama, Lainey Reed.

00:47As Booker fans himself to cool himself down, Graves,

00:50how impressed with Reed were you after she stood toe-to-toe

00:54with the NXT Women's Champion, J.C.J.?

00:57Well, it's a fantastic way to introduce yourself to the NXT universe as Lainey Reed did.

01:02The trouble is she claimed that she was going to be the one to beat J.C. Jane

01:05and was unable to do so.

01:07Tonight is of the utmost importance to show the rest of the world who Lainey Reed truly is.

01:11Lainey's looking to become the biggest, the largest here in NXT, man.

01:16Oh, yes!

01:18I'll ask you to elaborate on that, but the bell is about to ring,

01:21and we're about to get underway between these two.

01:24And on the topic of Jane, she faces Jordan Grace,

01:27WWE Evolution for the NXT Women's Championship in Atlanta,

01:30July 13th, right after the Great American Bash.

01:34For Thea Hale, Graves, is there a part of you that thinks Thea got the short end of the stick?

01:39Remember, she did tap out Jada Parker.

01:42Now, listen, I understand the frustration of Thea Hale,

01:44who right now is just unloading it.

01:47Appears as though Thea has had enough.

01:49Whoa.

01:49Maybe she's tired of being overlooked, and you're right.

01:51Jada Parker, let's call it what it is, out-strategized, out-smarted Thea.

01:55But right now, Thea on a mission into the cover, hope the land.

01:59Oh, Booker, if you go back to what Graves is talking about,

02:01is that sort of a wake-up call of sorts for someone like Thea Hale?

02:04I mean, I think it is because, I mean, right now, Thea Hale,

02:08I mean, she's our worst enemy.

02:10Right now, she had that max one against Jada Parker,

02:12but you cannot let this bitch, this game's way.

02:16Right there, the referee didn't do his job.

02:18He didn't break the hole.

02:19She let the hole go.

02:20That was a mistake, a big mistake.

02:22She's trying to get over the events of that Evolution Eliminator

02:24and trying to counter him, but instead got dropped base first by Reed.

02:28Reed followed by Jermit Suku.

02:30I see something in Lady Reed.

02:32She's got that impact.

02:33She's looking to be big, big star here, and then he's looking at that.

02:36Blue and the boom.

02:37I love it, man.

02:39Southern sensation certainly turning heads very quickly here in NXT.

02:44You see that?

02:45You see that?

02:45You see that, D?

02:46That boot right to the snout?

02:47I love it, man.

02:49No greatest snout on the side of your head.

02:52Got her in the ear, Book.

02:53She's just excited right now.

02:54I can tell.

02:55Stop reaching.

02:56Laney's got you feeling some kind of way, Book.

02:58I get it.

02:59I told you, he's fanning himself when we started the thing.

03:01Graves, how deep is the NXT women's division when you truly look at it all joking aside?

03:05I mean, I don't think I can state it adequately enough.

03:08I mean, every time one star goes to Raw or SmackDown,

03:11you've got, it seems like three more pop up.

03:13It's a great problem to have.

03:15It's a deep women's division, and it continues to evolve.

03:18Eleni Reed now taking her time.

03:20And last week, Booker, it was Reed who said, Thea gets played like a fiddle.

03:25I'm sure you agree.

03:26Not only that, Laney Reed, she stepped in right off the rip.

03:29Call out, baby.

03:31Call out to the champ.

03:32And my thing is this.

03:33Is this a UFC?

03:34Is this a UFC?

03:35They call us.

03:36I love it, man.

03:37That's what Laney Reed is all about.

03:39Well, when we take a look a little bit deeper at Laney Reed and some of the comments she's

03:42made with call outs, to Booker's point.

03:44Gravy, is Reed right with the things she has said about Thea Hale, specifically that

03:48she hasn't changed one bit since leaving Chase U?

03:51Oh, take a look at this.

03:53Powerful hand.

03:54Wow.

03:55Shoulder breaker.

03:56Executed excellently into a cover.

03:58Hook of the leg.

03:59And somehow, Thea able to kick out.

04:02Back to your question, Vic.

04:02I sort of have to agree with Laney Reed, but I do want to take another look at this.

04:07Double shoulder breaker.

04:09That could have ended it.

04:10Credit to Thea Hale for surviving.

04:12But I agree.

04:12I said something similar.

04:14Thea Hale wanted so bad to be, as she put it, a grown-ass woman to stand on her own two

04:18feet.

04:19And really, nothing has changed about her strategy or her approach to the rink.

04:23Thea Hale last week also admitted that adulting is hard.

04:29The locker room is mean as she's trying to get back into this match.

04:32And who said that?

04:33Thea Hale said that.

04:34A grown woman said that?

04:35Yes.

04:36I've just given up.

04:37It's a selfish business, man.

04:38You've got to be thinking about eight number one right now.

04:41Thea Hale is doing that in this matchup.

04:43But can she continue to do that?

04:44That's the mindset.

04:45Stay focused, Thea.

04:46Stay focused.

04:47And Thea charging right in and trying to turn this matchup around.

04:51Into the cover.

04:52Another hook to the leg.

04:53And a kick out by Laney Reed getting that inside shoulder up.

04:56Listen, in my opinion, I think Thea needs to take what she has, which is a seemingly endless

05:01amount of energy.

05:02She's frenetic.

05:03She's frantic.

05:04If she could channel it, if she could focus it, use it in bursts, in spurts, rather than

05:08just non-stop chaos, it might serve Thea well in the future.

05:12All right now, Laney Reed again.

05:14Looking for some high-impact offense.

05:16Countered by Thea Hale.

05:17Hale charging right back in.

05:18We've seen this in the past.

05:19Oh, wait a minute.

05:19He's trying to block in that Kimura.

05:22It's a smart strategy by Laney, though.

05:24Oh, taking the feet out into the cover.

05:26Big ref, ref!

05:28Nice job by our official.

05:30Thea Hale got caught the last time.

05:33That was smart.

05:33And right from behind Thea Hale this time.

05:35Rolling up center of the ring.

05:37And ooh.

05:39Good job by our officiating crew here tonight.

05:42Oh!

05:43That's it.

05:44That's it.

05:44Word, but hey, hey!

05:49What the?

05:50Here's the winner, Laney Reed!

05:53You were so eager to tattle last time.

05:55Why don't you get our official's attention?

05:57Got to admit, not only was Reed holding the ropes,

06:01it appeared Thea had her hand.

06:03This is a shocking upset.

06:05You know that.
