00:00Guys, take a look right there at Sasha Banks.
00:05She calls herself the boss.
00:07A one in four opportunity tonight to become the NXT Women's Champion.
00:11She is the champion right now.
00:12But let's not forget, she's at a disadvantage.
00:17All four combustible elements ready to collide tonight with
00:20the NXT Women's Championship on the line in a fatal four-way.
00:24Natural selection.
00:29Natural selection for Charlotte, the cover, and that's gonna do it.
00:33The women's champ retains.
00:35Charlotte retains.
00:36Charlotte retains the NXT Women's Championship.
00:39No one is better at competing than me.
00:41I'm the greatest athlete in the game.
00:44I know what it takes to beat Charlotte.
00:46I've done it before.
00:48Sasha wants what Charlotte has.
00:51I am the baddest diva in this business.
00:54Charlotte putting the NXT Women's Championship on the line against Sasha Banks.
01:00Sasha turning things around.
01:02Becky Lynch interfering in this matchup.
01:04She just got Sasha Banks disqualified.
01:06This isn't a friendship.
01:08And I'm gonna do what I have to do to get to where I wanna go.
01:11Sasha pushing Becky away, but now ganging up on the champ.
01:15Bayley coming in to clear out the ring.
01:18Everybody is really just here for themselves to get to the top.
01:22So I need to do the same thing.
01:24Bayley to belly, my goodness.
01:27Ladies, it seems as if we have some unsettled issues at NXT TakeOver.
01:35Charlotte, you will be defending your NXT Women's Championship against Bayley.
01:41Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks in a fatal four-way match.
01:46I like putting my title on the line because I'm a fighting champion.
01:51I'm the best athlete in that ring.
01:53I made Becky tapped out.
01:56I have embarrassed Bayley.
01:58I have pinned your women's champion.
02:00I don't have any friends in that fatal four-way.
02:03And it'll make it that much easier to beat every single one of them.
02:07Ever since my change in attitude, I've been unstoppable.
02:12I will be walking out your new NXT Women's Champion.
02:16Because if you're gonna do it, do it like a boss.
02:20My title reign isn't luck, it's natural selection.
02:23I know I'm gonna walk out the NXT Women's Champion.
02:28Your title run ends now.
02:29At NXT TakeOver, I will finally extinguish Charlotte's flair.
02:35No one will beat me.
02:36Whether they like it or not, they better learn to love it.
02:53There is the huggable one, Bayley, who looked quite anxious earlier on tonight when we saw her getting ready.
03:05But guys, she knows that this is potentially her night.
03:08And there they are, the wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube in.
03:11The following contest is the fatal four-way divas match scheduled for one fall.
03:17And it is for the NXT Women's Championship.
03:22Introducing first from San Jose, California, Bayley.
03:28Bayley said a few weeks ago, this is her Sami Zayn moment.
03:31She's finally found the spot that she's been missing.
03:34She's more prepared than ever, in her words, than she's ever been.
03:37And her opponent from Boston, Massachusetts, Sasha Bayley.
03:50Guys, Sasha has had multiple opportunities, but how many more opportunities can she get?
03:54I'll tell you, I don't know how many more opportunities she'll get, but I'll tell you what,
03:58she's so cunning, I believe this is a master plan falling into place for Sasha tonight.
04:04You said it, Bayley's huggable, you can be huggable as you want.
04:07The fact is, this is Sasha Banks tonight.
04:23And from Dublin, Ireland, Becky Lynch!
04:28Guys, Becky Lynch might be the wild card here tonight.
04:30I gotta ask a question, what has she done to deserve this title opportunity?
04:34All she did a few weeks ago was cost Sasha Banks her title chance.
04:38Or whatever she did, she's in the match.
04:40I mean, I might not like her personally.
04:42There's nothing authentic about her as a human being, but she has got talent.
04:45She belongs in here just as much as anybody.
04:47She could walk out of here, NXT Women's Champion.
04:54She makes herself dizzy first.
04:55Would you stop shaking your head, Corey?
05:08And their opponent, from the Queen City, she's the NXT Women's Champion, Charlotte!
05:16258 days ago, Charlotte became the NXT Women's Champion.
05:23She calls herself the most genetically superior diva in WWE, the most gifted athlete.
05:30Here at NXT, the daughter of the nature boy, Ric Flair, the hall of famer, 16-time world champion.
05:38Guys, I don't think that Charlotte has had to face a challenge like she has in front of her tonight.
05:44You're right, this is a huge challenge for her.
05:46But Jason, we had Charlotte on the pre-show, and you looked in her eyes just like I did.
05:52Did you see a bit of doubt or disbelief in her eyes?
05:54Charlotte believes she's walking out of here NXT Women's Champion.
05:59So here we go, guys. Fatal four-way matchup for the NXT Women's Championship.
06:04First competitor to gain a pinfall or submission becomes the champion.
06:12So there's no advantage for the champion in this match.
06:15No, no championship advantage. She has a 25% chance of retaining her championship.
06:21But what she said on the pre-show was, to them, it's a championship opportunity.
06:25To me, it's not a chance to show why I'm the most dominant female in the game.
06:29But don't forget, guys, there's no count-out, there's no...
06:32Oh, look out, Bayley from behind trying to pin the champion.
06:34No count-out one.
06:37No count-outs, no disqualifications. The old saying that Charlotte likes to say,
06:41like Daddy, to be the woman, you've got to beat the woman. That's not the case tonight.
06:44Oh!
06:47Oh, the outside.
06:50Sasha.
06:50Oh, I wonder is there an alliance right here.
06:52Well, Sasha and Becky, yeah, working together here early on.
06:54Look at that, Charlotte going back first.
06:56Guys, the LED board on the ring, I think they just broke it.
07:02Well, that human being's body was just thrown into it. Are you surprised?
07:06And this is the alliance I spoke of right now.
07:09Look, they can be, there's no alliance. They're all here fighting for the same thing.
07:13The NXT Women's Championship.
07:14Well, you've got to figure these two had a game plan.
07:16They took out Charlotte, and now they're ganging up on Bayley.
07:18What, are they going to share the championship, Albert?
07:20I didn't say the alliance would work.
07:22Well, Becky has said before that it's an alliance. It is not a friendship. It is all about business.
07:30Make no mistake, all four of the ladies in this matchup have one thing on their mind,
07:35and that is becoming the NXT Women's Champion.
07:39Oh!
07:41I still feel like there's not an alliance right now, Corey Graves.
07:45And working well together right now.
07:46Oh, look at this.
07:47Oh!
07:48They can't pin them together.
07:50Where's your alliance at, Albert?
07:52There it goes.
07:57It is every diva for herself in this matchup tonight.
08:01Becky Lynch needs to stand up for herself.
08:03She has an opportunity here just as much as anybody else.
08:05Look at this.
08:06You were just talking about it.
08:07Whoa!
08:09Up handle suplex.
08:10Fantastic power by Becky Lynch.
08:14Becky with a big opportunity right now.
08:16Here's Becky Lynch with a leg drop.
08:19The NXT Women's title is on the line and Becky Lynch maybe with the opportunity to
08:29take the championship right here.
08:30Cover, hook of the leg.
08:32Becky for the win.
08:33And a kick out.
08:35Let's take another look at this suplex by Becky Lynch moments ago.
08:42Strength by Becky Lynch.
08:43Absolutely impressive.
08:44But after the suplex, she looked down at Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch said,
08:47it's my time.
08:48She must believe that.
08:49Oh, she believes it.
08:51I asked her, she said, ever since my attitude change, I've been unstoppable.
08:55Dragon screw going after that injured left knee.
08:58She's never- Bayley.
09:00She's never had three other divas trying to stop.
09:02Oh, look at this.
09:02Oh, hang on.
09:05Submission maneuver.
09:10Cooper, you have a new divas champion.
09:11Oh, look at that.
09:12It's Sasha Banks in to break it up.
09:14And right as Becky Lynch was getting on a roll.
09:18Oh!
09:18That's the thing about these fatal four ways.
09:20You have to neutralize everybody.
09:22A submission might not be the most effective way to win because it can be broken up as you just saw.
09:26Yeah, it kind of makes yourself vulnerable.
09:28Talking about neutralizing.
09:29There is, Charlotte is nowhere to be in sight.
09:32She was thrown into the LED board.
09:35Guys, we talked earlier about some of the WWE superstars.
09:38Oh, look at that.
09:41Sasha trying to go for the double knee drop.
09:42Becky out of the way and out of the top rope.
09:44Here she comes.
09:46Big drop kick.
09:48It's a huge opportunity for Becky Lynch, but she needs to capitalize.
09:51Cover, now here comes Charlotte in to break it up.
09:55I want to mention this quick.
09:56The WWE superstars tweeting watching this tonight here on the WWE Network.
10:02Sheamus saying earlier the Irish are coming.
10:06Finn Balor victorious earlier tonight and now pulling for Becky Lynch in this one.
10:10That's good.
10:11Maybe Sheamus can hang out with Becky Lynch because I don't want to.
10:14Neckbreaker by the champ.
10:17Cover trying to put Sasha away.
10:19And there's Becky Lynch to break it up.
10:21Meanwhile, WWE Diva Paige saying good luck tonight, especially to Bayley.
10:27I didn't expect to see Paige pulling for Bayley to do.
10:30That's well and all, but Charlotte in total control right now.
10:34Another big neckbreaker by the champ.
10:36Is that enough?
10:37Sasha again to break it up.
10:39Fatal four-way matchup.
10:44First Diva that scores a pinfall or submission.
10:48Will become the NXT Women's Champion.
10:50Right now it is Charlotte.
10:55Charlotte throwing the right forearm.
10:57But the boss is going toe to toe with the champ right now.
11:00You've got to be impressed with that.
11:06No doubt.
11:08Trying to make fun.
11:09Make fun of Charlotte and the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
11:12Very well scouted by Sasha Banks.
11:15You've got to figure was that on purpose?
11:17Absolutely, she got out of the way.
11:18She didn't want to get speared.
11:19Look at this, here comes Bayley.
11:21My goodness.
11:22Wow, what an impact.
11:23Charlotte with a big kick to the face of Bayley.
11:29Bayley to the outside.
11:30Charlotte's the last one up.
11:31She needs the cover right now.
11:32Cover somebody.
11:33The champ is standing tall.
11:34This is a huge opportunity.
11:37Going after Sasha.
11:39She wasted too much time.
11:42Sasha sending the champ into the corner.
11:45Turnbuckle slowed her down so she didn't go full force into the steel post,
11:48but still quit at impact.
11:50Sasha needs to capitalize here.
11:54Sasha's now the only one up.
11:55This is the time when you have to take advantage.
11:57You're not gonna get many opportunities where all three other divas are neutralized like this.
12:00Well, I believe she's about to take that opportunity.
12:02No.
12:03Very precarious, precarious position.
12:11No.
12:12You gotta be kidding me.
12:14Sasha Banks lining up Charlotte and Becky.
12:17Look at that.
12:18Connecting with the double knees.
12:21Cover for the championship, Sasha Banks.
12:25Charlotte able to kick out now going after Becky.
12:27This could be it.
12:30Cover after cover with the championship on the line.
12:33Sasha starting to get frustrated.
12:36She can't get frustrated.
12:37She's pinned Charlotte recently.
12:39She knows it's possible.
12:41Big suplex by Bayley.
12:44This could be a big opportunity for Bayley right now.
12:47The champ is in trouble.
12:50The champ is in trouble.
12:51We've seen the aggressive side of Bayley here in the last couple weeks.
12:55Connecting with cornerback elbows.
12:57Back elbows.
13:03Tightens the ponytail.
13:04You know it's coming.
13:05Bayley is on fire.
13:07Four back elbows in the corner.
13:09The champ is in trouble.
13:16What's Bayley gonna mind here?
13:22Look at this.
13:23Bayley to the top.
13:24Oh my God.
13:25Bayley Conrana.
13:27Come on, Bayley.
13:35Come on, Bayley.
13:36Bayley, Bayley, Bayley, Bayley, Bayley, Bayley.
13:40And look out, Bayley.
13:41Connecting Bayley to Bayley.
13:43Bayley's gonna win it.
13:45Bayley's gonna win it.
13:47And Becky Lynch able to break up the cover.
13:50That could have been it.
13:54Oh, look out.
13:54There's that nasty side of Bayley.
13:59Guys, it's been a long time coming.
14:01It has been a long time coming.
14:03But it is somewhat refreshing to see Bayley embrace this side of herself.
14:07I tell you, I'm loving it.
14:08Can this dream come true?
14:10This dream since she was 12 years old.
14:12All she ever wanted to be was to be a champion.
14:15Oh my God.
14:18Sasha Banks wants to be a champion too.
14:20NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT.
14:29Guys, this gives the champs some breathing room.
14:33She can maybe recollect herself here.
14:34What is the champ thinking right now?
14:37It didn't look like she had relaxation in mind, Rich.
14:39No.
14:40I'm talking about catching your breath, rethinking your strategy.
14:46One, two, one, two, one.
14:49Hold on, Charlotte!
14:50Go ahead!
14:51Charlotte taking out all three competitors.
14:59Whatever it takes with the Women's Championship on the line.
15:03Let's take another look.
15:06Look at the height.
15:07How much does this mean to Charlotte to put her body on the line like that?
15:11Taking out all three competitors.
15:13She knows she doesn't have the championship advantage she normally does.
15:16So she's taking them all out at once.
15:18She is determined to walk out of here the same way she walked in as NXT Women's Champion.
15:22She's gotta get one in the ring to win.
15:27Charlotte sending in Becky Lynch.
15:28Now Becky, wait a minute.
15:37Look at this.
15:38Beautiful suplex.
15:40Becky Lynch for the title.
15:42Hooks the leg and Charlotte kicks out.
15:46Could you imagine, Rich, if we had to come out here week after week and
15:48watch Becky Lynch headbang with that Women's Championship around her waist?
15:51I'd love it.
15:52I bet you would.
15:54Your skin would crawl, wouldn't it?
15:55The champ right now.
16:01She's in big trouble right now.
16:03Becky Lynch needs to capitalize.
16:06She's doing a good job of it.
16:14We've seen her try this earlier.
16:17Look out, Sasha.
16:19From the outside, Bayley pulling Sasha away.
16:21Now Bayley getting involved.
16:25Look at that.
16:25Kick to the back of the hat.
16:31Whoa.
16:31Wow.
16:32Bayley with the German.
16:33And hang on a second.
16:35Charlotte perched on the top rope.
16:37Here goes Bayley again.
16:39And look at this.
16:40From the top rope.
16:42Bayley to Bayley from the top.
16:44New champion here.
16:45And my God, here comes Sasha again.
16:47The champ still has fighting her, possibly.
16:49Sasha Banks for the cover.
16:51Is that enough?
16:52And again, a kick out.
16:55Can you believe what we just saw?
16:57Charlotte just took a Bayley to belly from the top rope.
17:00Look at Sasha.
17:01Sasha can't believe it.
17:02How did the champ kick out?
17:04Where is she finding this energy?
17:06Well, look at it.
17:07Crossface, crossface.
17:10Submission maneuver applied.
17:11Can the champ hang on?
17:12The champ has a long way to go to get to those ropes.
17:18Sasha Banks.
17:21Now kicking Bayley and Becky back down to the outside.
17:24Very smart by Sasha right there.
17:25Oh, hang on a second again.
17:27Center of the ring.
17:28Look at the torch.
17:29Championship is on the line.
17:31Sasha Banks with the crossface.
17:34Locked in Charlotte.
17:36Trolling, clawing.
17:38Trying to make her way to the bottom rope.
17:40So close, so close.
17:42The rope does not break it though.
17:44Don't forget.
17:44It won't break it.
17:45And look at this.
17:48Guys, what does Charlotte do?
17:50What does she do?
17:51Look at the torque.
17:52The body's not supposed to bend like that.
17:54The championship is on the line here and still some fight.
17:57Look at this.
17:58Cover and action.
17:59She did it.
18:01The boss.
18:04We have a new women's champion.
18:06Here is your winner and new NXT Women's Champion, Sasha Banks.
18:14You said earlier, a master plan by Sasha Banks is your new NXT Women's Champion.
18:30Jason Albert, you said earlier, a master plan by Sasha.
18:46You know, I said it before, Sasha Banks one-on-one with the champ, or the former champ, had trouble.
18:52She got it done tonight though, when three other women or two other women were in the ring with her.
18:57You don't have to like her, but you must respect her.
18:59The boss, this was the biggest moment of her life.
19:02And here they took the champ out early, avoiding the LED, shut the LED lights down.
19:10Look at this, Sasha, Becky, and Becky with a beautiful pop handle suplex.
19:19They thought that they might work together.
19:20That proved otherwise, guys.
19:22The boss knew exactly where she was going.
19:25Double stack, double knees.
19:27She had her eyes on the title the whole time.
19:32And Charlotte.
19:34At the time, the NXT Women's Champion, Bayley getting involved.
19:39And look at this here.
19:42Bayley to Belly, we thought that that might have been it.
19:45The match would continue as Becky Lynch was there to break it up.
19:50And on the outside, look at Sasha Banks putting her body on the line.
19:54Look for her.
19:55And how about this, how did Bayley not get it here?
19:58Bayley to Belly from the second rope.
20:00I have no idea how Charlotte survived that.
20:05But the boss would lock in the submission maneuver and then roll Charlotte over.
20:10The crucifix for the victory.
20:13Sasha Banks has done it.
20:15Your new NXT Women's Champion.
20:19What a moment for Sasha Banks.
20:22This means the world.
20:23She's worked her entire career for this very moment.
20:26It has got to be sweet.
20:27Well done, Sasha Banks.
20:37Sasha Banks, Sasha Banks, Sasha Banks.
20:41I did not know.
20:43I did not know.
20:44The other day.
20:45But the ball.
20:46She's worked her to win this year.
20:48Go, go, go, go, go, go!
20:50Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
20:55Go, go, go, go, go, go!
20:55Do you expect anything less from The Boss, the new NXT Women's Champion?
21:21That, my friends, is swag.
21:23Sasha Banks has done it, winning this fatal four-way match for the championship.
