00:00Moments away from what is sure to be an emotional battle as Sami Zayn
00:03defends the NXT Championship against Kevin Owens.
00:07That matchup is next.
00:19I walked in with a plan, which worked out beautifully.
00:26Kevin Owens has been waiting 14 years for this opportunity.
00:34It is his night to shine.
00:37I wouldn't have missed this match for the world.
00:38And I didn't just watch it backstage on the monitor.
00:40I creeped out through the curtain so I could feel the audience.
00:43And I welled up.
00:44I welled up with tears.
00:47And Kevin Owens with the victory here tonight at his team U.
00:51I would say I was as excited for my debut as I was for Zayn vs. Neville.
00:58Sami Zayn!
01:00All over the cake!
01:02One, two, three!
01:04Sami Zayn has got it!
01:06He is the new NXT Champion!
01:11I was so happy for him.
01:12Still am.
01:13I'm still really happy for Sami.
01:14The NXT locker room coming out to congratulate Sami Zayn and his best friend, Kevin Owens!
01:22After all our friendship had endured up until that point, that he could still kind of give me that nod meant a lot to me personally.
01:29What a night for these two friends.
01:31This has got to be surreal for those two guys.
01:34The top of their game.
01:35I should have seen the whole thing coming.
01:43I really should have.
01:46I waited for that spotlight for 14 years.
01:49I wasn't going to wait at the back of the line.
01:58I traveled the world for 10 years with Sami Zayn.
02:01All the places that you hear Sami Zayn brag about, I've been there too.
02:05And it was all to ultimately end up here though.
02:08But they called him first.
02:11Sami stole me and him getting here together.
02:13And at one point, I'll admit, thinking that this wasn't going to happen for me.
02:18Everything I ever did out there was about getting me here.
02:21And it was the same with him.
02:22I think the honest to goodness truth is we were on the same path.
02:25And he got married and had a kid.
02:27And I think that's when things really changed for us.
02:29All he cares, all he has to worry about is himself.
02:39I never thought that on a night like our evolution, when you finally arrived, and I finally arrived, that you would do that.
02:48It's moot now.
02:50Because at TakeOver, I'm going to beat the hell out of you.
02:53I'm not wrestling one more match unless it's against Kevin Owens.
02:59I'll fight anyone and everyone, but I fight for a prize.
03:03That is the prize.
03:05That means more money.
03:07That means a better life.
03:09He was never going to do it for non-title.
03:12Because that was his plan all along.
03:13He ruined more than a moment.
03:15He ruined a friendship.
03:16He ruined a lot of things.
03:17I don't know, but I just know I'm going to hurt him.
03:19He hurt me and I'm going to hurt him.
03:21You want to see Sami Zayn kick Kevin Owens' ass?
03:26Kevin Owens is going to win the NXT Championship.
03:30Two months to the day after his debut.
03:33I'm going to do it.
03:36I'm going to do it.
04:03I'm going to do it.
07:15Introducing first the challenger from Maryville, Quebec, Canada weighing 266 pounds Kevin Owens.
07:23And his opponent from Montreal, Quebec, Canada weighing 212 pounds.
07:43He's the NXT champion, Sami Zayn.
07:52This is why we're here.
07:55Sami Zayn, the NXT champion.
07:58Sami Zayn, the NXT championship on the line.
08:10Sami Zayn winning the title two months ago but had a celebration cut short after being attacked by Kevin Owens and in Sami's own words, he should have seen it coming.
08:20I feel like he should have seen it coming.
08:22He's been friends with him for such a long time.
08:24He's traveled the road with him.
08:26You learn a lot about someone when it comes to that.
08:28I personally feel like a little bit deeper than what we're seeing on the surface.
08:32Kevin Owens is going to the outside.
08:50Guys, Owens has been masterful in his manipulation of Sami Zayn.
09:06He's manipulated more than Sami Zayn.
09:08He manipulated general manager William Regal into making this a championship match.
09:12He's been in this company for two months.
09:14Two months ago at the last TakeOver was the first time we ever saw Kevin Owens in an NXT ring.
09:19Now he's headlining TakeOver live on the network.
09:22The NXT title is the prize, the decision by pinfall or submission.
09:28This is what Sami Zayn needs to do.
09:31This is early 2014 Sami Zayn.
09:33He didn't know how to harness his anger.
09:35He's doing a very good job of it right now.
09:37He's not letting the head games of Kevin Owens get into his mind.
09:40It's early.
09:42Stay the course.
09:43Nobody knows Sami Zayn's mind better than Kevin Owens.
09:46I remember when I first got into this business in the Pittsburgh area,
09:49I used to hear stories about these guys in Canada.
09:52Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, they were doing all sorts of big things.
09:55There was a buzz about these guys.
09:56I can't believe I'm actually gonna witness them face off in an NXT ring right now.
10:00Sami's gotta keep his cool.
10:03Look out, here comes Sami Zayn.
10:08Look out, over the top, over the referee!
10:11My God!
10:13Sami Zayn didn't want to wait.
10:15So much for keeping you cool.
10:17Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn!
10:23And Sami Zayn taking the fight to Kevin Owens.
10:26Sami Zayn is an angry, angry champion.
10:39He is an angry man.
10:40One, two, three!
10:42Sami Zayn is not an angry man.
10:45Sami Zayn is not an angry man.
10:46Kevin Owens made Sami Zayn an angry man.
10:50That's exactly what Kevin Owens wanted, wasn't it?
10:52It could have been, but it looks like right now Sami Zayn's doing a good job of harnessing that anger,
10:58and taking it out on Kevin Owens.
11:00Much deserved.
11:01I suppose the question for Sami Zayn tonight is, which Sami Zayn do we get?
11:05The hungry Sami Zayn?
11:06Sami Zayn, the guy.
11:07Oh, my goodness!
11:08You see his chin snap back right there.
11:11We get the champion who can control his emotions, but my God!
11:15Kevin Owens connecting the corner with that clothesline.
11:18Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
11:23Fight! Fight! Fight!
11:26Kevin Owens insisting this is not personal.
11:30It is business.
11:31It is about the championship and connecting again in the corner.
11:35This is a man that's feeding his ego in my opinion.
11:38Does that look like business to you right there, Corey Graves?
11:45Kevin Owens has an opportunity of a lifetime.
11:48The NXT Championship is at stake right now.
11:50He knows it's gonna take everything he's got to beat Sami Zayn.
11:54What an impact.
11:59Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn!
12:02Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn!
12:03Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn!
12:04You gotta look at him.
12:05Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn!
12:06Take another look at this.
12:07Look at this.
12:08Owens bringing everything at Sami Zayn.
12:10You see Sami pop up in the air, Corey?
12:12Over 260-something pounds coming right in the neck and chest of Sami Zayn.
12:17Look at Kevin Owens.
12:18Look at Kevin Owens.
12:20You almost feel like he's enjoying this a bit.
12:25Oh!
12:26What's wrong with enjoying the fruits of your labor, Albert?
12:29You know, nothing is wrong with that.
12:31But you know, in our business, men with a lot of bravado, there's different-
12:34Cover for the championship!
12:36A kick out by Zayn.
12:37There's a lot of men in this business that talk about doing something.
12:42Kevin Owens backs up what he says.
12:45He has that instinct for the jugular.
12:47Right forearm connecting the cheekbone of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, as you said,
13:02Corey seems to be enjoying it.
13:05As usual, the NXT Universe behind Sami Zayn.
13:12Cover for the championship, and again, Zayn able to kick out.
13:17Come on, Sami!
13:18Kevin Owens, again, claiming that this is about a better life for his family.
13:23More money.
13:25Better life for his kids, for his wife.
13:28Sami Zayn not buying it, said Owens plays games, he strings you along, but
13:32what truly drives him is selfish motivation.
13:35His motivation is himself.
13:37This is where the size advantage of Kevin Owens comes into play.
13:43He's wearing down Sami Zayn.
13:44We've seen what Sami can do from the top ropes.
13:47When the pace quickens, that's where he excels.
13:49Owens is doing his best to stop that.
13:51And if anyone knows the blueprint of Sami Zayn, it's Kevin Owens.
13:56Take another look at this.
13:58Owens launching Sami Zayn into the turnbuckle.
14:01It almost seems piece by piece, Owens is set to dismantle the NXT Champion.
14:10He claims he had a master plan, and it's working out beautifully.
14:16Two months to the day, and here he is in a championship match against his one-time best friend.
14:23And you have to credit Owens.
14:26He said he waited for the spotlight for 14 years.
14:28He wasn't gonna wait at the back of the line.
14:30I mean, what's wrong with making an opportunity?
14:33You hear it all the time.
14:34Take that chance here at WWE.
14:43Kevin Owens again kid acting cover.
14:45And again a kick out.
14:46This match trending worldwide on Twitter.
14:49Would you expect anything less?
14:52We've always said this before.
14:54I don't know if there's a man more resilient than Sami Zayn.
14:58And right now, it's being tested.
15:02It has been all Kevin Owens in this match.
15:07Sami trying to fight back.
15:11Sami digging deep right now.
15:13And again Owens able to cut him off.
15:16Oh!
15:17Oh!
15:18My goodness!
15:19Draping Zayn right across the top rope for the title!
15:23Hook of the leg and a kick out by Sami Zayn.
15:28Kevin Owens.
15:29This is smart.
15:30Right back to this hold.
15:31Wearing Sami Zayn down.
15:32Slowly but surely putting his weight on Sami.
15:35Let's take another look at this.
15:38Just imposing his will.
15:39Awesome Sami Zayn.
15:40Let's take another look at that from a different angle.
15:44Oh!
15:45See Sami just bounce back off the rope.
15:47And then knock the wind right out of Zayn.
15:48One!
15:49Two!
15:50One!
15:51Two!
15:52One!
15:53One!
15:54NXT Championship is on the line.
15:55Sami Zayn has held the title for two months.
15:57Kevin Owens challenging his former friend after ruining the celebration after Sami won the title.
16:04And executing his game plan perfectly.
16:07Grinding down Sami Zayn.
16:09Keeping him on the mat.
16:10Slowing him down.
16:11Kevin Owens doing a masterful job of controlling the pace.
16:24Sami again trying to get back to his feet.
16:26And look at Owens again.
16:31Look at that!
16:32Beautiful back suplex.
16:35Is this enough?
16:36Hook of the leg, center of the ring, and again a kick out.
16:39Kevin Owens has done an amazing job of getting inside the psyche,
16:46inside the head of Sami Zayn.
16:48He's just imposing his will.
16:49He's doing what he wants to Sami Zayn right now.
16:51Picking apart the NXT Champion.
16:56Sending Sami to the outside.
16:58Listen to that chomp.
17:11Gotta get Sami back inside the ring though.
17:14He's not gonna win.
17:15Oh!
17:16Not gonna win the title on the outside.
17:17Exactly.
17:18Great point.
17:19This is what is for business or is this personal?
17:23And I'm starting to lean towards personal.
17:25There's something here.
17:26There's a little bit of mocking right there by Kevin Owens.
17:29Nothing wrong with having a little fun when you're beating up your former best friend.
17:32You see Sami just, and almost like he's shadow boxing.
17:36Slapping!
17:37Kevin Owens and again Owens connecting.
17:39Rolling back in to break the counter right back after the chance.
17:42Sami Zayn isn't shadow boxing, he's striking out.
17:45He's throwing everything he has at Kevin Owens and Owens knows him just a little too well.
17:48In close.
17:49Larry and Mike got another one.
17:51Inside the ring.
17:52Outside the ring.
17:53Kevin Owens is taking it to Sami Zayn.
17:54He's not giving him a minute to breathe.
17:55Owens again for the championship.
17:56Hook of the leg.
17:57Is that enough?
17:58And again.
17:59Sami able to stay alive.
18:00As Kevin Owens continues to pick apart Sami Zayn.
18:05And he's enjoying doing so.
18:12Oh.
18:13Owens is stomping into the chest of Sami Zayn.
18:15Guys we can't see it enough.
18:16He is enjoying this.
18:17He is enjoying this.
18:18He is enjoying tearing Sami apart.
18:19Uh oh.
18:20Oh no.
18:21My God.
18:22Oh.
18:23My God.
18:24What a gut buster.
18:25And look at this.
18:26And look at this.
18:27Huge senton for the title.
18:28Hook of the leg.
18:29Owens.
18:30come to put Zayn away in to get a kick out.
18:31There's the result.
18:33Oh.
18:34Oh.
18:35Oh.
18:36Come on.
18:37Oh.
18:39Oh.
18:40Oh.
18:41Oh.
18:42Oh.
18:43Owens is stomping into the chest of Sami Zayn.
18:44Guys we can't see it enough.
18:45He is enjoying this.
18:46He is enjoying tearing Sami apart.
18:47Oh.
18:48Oh no.
18:49Oh.
18:50My God.
18:51What a gut buster.
18:52Oh look at this.
18:53Oh.
18:55Oh.
18:56Uh oh.
18:57Oh.
18:58Oh.
18:59There's the resilience of Sami Zayn.
19:01That was almost 270 pounds right down under the ribs and chest of Zayn.
19:05I don't think I've ever seen anyone so
19:10methodically pick apart Sami Zayn.
19:12Cuz you've never seen anyone that knows Sami Zayn better than Kevin Owens.
19:16Let's take another look at this, this gigantic gut buster.
19:19All the wind right out of Sami Zayn, he might have cracked a rib.
19:22And then here's 260 something pounds right down on a prone Sami Zayn.
19:27I can't believe that didn't end it right there.
19:29And Owens just continues, this assault,
19:33this onslaught of the NXT champion.
19:37Look, and I think I saw a bit of a smirk right there.
19:42Guys, let's be honest, we haven't seen domination like this since Brock Lesnar
19:46dominated John Cena at SummerSlam.
19:48This is the same sort of thing.
19:53Sami's gotta be seeing double or triple at this point.
19:55You gotta admire the heart of Sami Zayn still swinging with whatever he's got left.
20:03But look at this, this is decimation.
20:05Whoa, Sami, back to his feet, connecting with the clothesline.
20:11They're still fighting the chair.
20:12Sami might be staggered around, but he's throwing everything he's got left.
20:19And Kevin Owens.
20:23This is the first offense of really any kind we've seen Sami Zayn mount tonight.
20:27Big opportunity for Sami Regroup right here.
20:33There's no one that feeds off the NXT universe quite like Sami Zayn.
20:38Yeah, but is the NXT universe enough tonight?
20:40We haven't seen Sami in this much trouble, maybe ever.
20:43Well, we both have agreed he is one of the most resilient superstars we know.
20:47Look at that, sending Owens head first into the steel steps.
20:51It's Sami Zayn ready to dish out some payback to his former close friend.
20:59The man who ruined his championship night at TakeOver Our Evolution.
21:05Now Sami rolling back in and going to the outside.
21:08One, two, three.
21:12Owens trying to take back over.
21:15Sami rolling out, and here it comes.
21:17Kinex with a clothesline.
21:18Kevin Owens did not see that coming.
21:23One, two, three.
21:28NXT championship is on the line in this matchup.
21:32Sami Zayn the champion.
21:34Kevin Owens the challenger.
21:36Here comes Zayn and connecting with a back elbow as Kevin Owens misses.
21:42Look at Sami Zayn trying to set it up.
21:44Blue Thunderbomb.
21:45Blue Thunderbomb for the championship.
21:48And Zayn unable to put Owens away.
21:50How?
21:51How did Sami Zayn dig deep enough to find the strength to complete the Blue Thunderbomb?
21:57Let's take another look.
21:58That's a ton of weight.
21:59Sami Zayn exhausted, able to get Kevin Owens up for the Blue Thunderbomb.
22:03That almost had it.
22:04But there's still fight left in Kevin Owens.
22:07Guys, the point is Kevin Owens kicked out.
22:10Kevin Owens staying in this match.
22:12My goodness.
22:13Oh, my goodness.
22:14Protecting square in the chin.
22:15Kevin Owens.
22:16I think so.
22:17Look Sami Zayn on his feet.
22:20He's out.
22:21Sami Zayn doesn't know where he's at right now.
22:23Look out.
22:24Look out.
22:25Here comes Kevin Owens lining up.
22:26Sami Zayn in the corner.
22:27The Cannonball.
22:28The Cannonball for the championship.
22:31Owens can win it right here.
22:32Is it enough?
22:33Against Sami, resilient, staying alive.
22:37Somehow getting the shoulder up.
22:39Barely.
22:40He barely, barely, barely got that shoulder up.
22:43He's running on instinct at this point.
22:46No.
22:47We've seen this before.
22:52Kevin Owens.
22:53Look at him.
22:54My God.
22:55That's gonna be it.
22:57Kevin Owens for the championship.
23:00And somehow again, Sami Zayn able to get the shoulder up.
23:05I got a question.
23:06What was that?
23:07Let's take another look at it.
23:09I don't know what you call it.
23:11It was Sami Zayn head and neck first across the knee of Kevin Owens.
23:14I have no earthly idea how Sami Zayn kicked out of this.
23:18It was just by an eyelash.
23:19I don't know how he kicked out.
23:20And you know what?
23:21I don't know how much more he can take.
23:23Guys, the question.
23:28The longer this goes on.
23:30No, look at that.
23:31He's trying to go for the pop-up powerbomb and Zayn coming up with a drop kick.
23:36And look at this.
23:37Uh-oh.
23:38Uh-oh.
23:39Half and half suplex.
23:41Sami Zayn set to retain the championship.
23:45Is that it?
23:46And again, kicking out is Kevin Owens.
23:50I was gonna ask a second ago, would the referee have to think about stopping this match?
23:55It appeared that Sami was down and out.
23:57Sami Zayn digging deep.
23:59Kevin Owens, I can't believe he kicked out right there.
24:02He landed high on the back of his head.
24:04Yeah, but was that everything that Sami Zayn had left?
24:06Sami Zayn is exhausted.
24:07He's been beaten down the entire time.
24:09Did he just waste his last bit of energy on that last maneuver?
24:12As long as Sami Zayn is on his feet, as long as the champion is on his feet,
24:16he still has fight left.
24:18Sami Zayn sending Owens head first.
24:24Owens is in a precarious position for the first time in this match.
24:28I don't know what Sami Zayn's got in mind, but I imagine it's not good.
24:32Look out!
24:33I spoke too soon.
24:34How's that for ring awareness?
24:35Very clever.
24:36Whatever it takes.
24:38What's Owens got in mind?
24:41Looks like a light bulb just went off.
24:43Owens struggling back to his feet.
24:47This is not gonna end well for Sami Zayn.
24:52Sami Zayn flat on his back and Kevin Owens climbing to the top and Zayn back to his feet.
24:57Sami Zayn the champion setting up Kevin Owens.
25:02Owens has too much fight left in him.
25:09This is a dangerous position for both men.
25:11Very dangerous.
25:12Owens connecting with a headbutt.
25:14Owens from the top rope.
25:17Look at him.
25:18Perched up high.
25:19Here it comes.
25:20Oh!
25:21I got it!
25:22Sami countered it.
25:23Sami got the knees up.
25:24You gotta wonder how much did that take out of Sami Zayn?
25:26That's a lot of weight coming down on the knees.
25:29Sami!
25:30Sami!
25:31Sami!
25:32Sami!
25:33Sami!
25:34Sami!
25:35Sami!
25:36Sami!
25:37That would have been all done for Sami Zayn if Owens connected with that.
25:39Here comes Owens again.
25:40And look at Sami!
25:41Sitting up!
25:42Exploder Suplex!
25:43Exploder Suplex!
25:44We know what comes next.
25:45Sami Zayn sitting up for the whole of a kick!
25:47Here he comes!
25:48And Owens able to get himself out of harm's way.
25:49Brilliant move by Kevin Owens.
25:50It may have been instinct but he got out of harm's way before Sami Zayn ended it all.
26:03And uh-oh to the outside!
26:04To the outside!
26:05No!
26:06No!
26:07No!
26:08No!
26:09No!
26:10Sami able to crack the ropes!
26:11Smart by Zayn!
26:12Very smart by Zayn!
26:15Kicking it Kevin Owens and here comes Zayn using the ropes!
26:19My God!
26:20What an impact!
26:21And Sami!
26:22Sami whacked his head on the ramp!
26:25I think they both banged their heads pretty hard there on that stale ramp.
26:28They absolutely did but how much does the NXT Championship mean to Sami Zayn?
26:32He's willing to sacrifice everything!
26:35Look at Sami!
26:37Using the ropes springboard and look at Sami connects!
26:40Oh look at how bad his head smashed up against that stale green!
26:44Look at Sami Zayn's eyes!
26:47I mean he's checking to see if he was busted!
26:51But he still has fight left!
26:55Sami Zayn still with fight!
27:02The champion doing whatever it takes!
27:05I said it before, the champion is on his feet!
27:07He still has fight left in him!
27:09And Sami Zayn so resilient!
27:20This has been an absolute battle!
27:23It has taken so much out of both of these men but hang on!
27:27Sami Zayn lining up Kevin Owens again or perhaps the Hulluva kick on its way!
27:33Oh!
27:34But Sami's having trouble getting his balance here!
27:36This isn't Sami Zayn!
27:38Oh!
27:39Oh my God!
27:40No way!
27:41Papa Powerbomb!
27:42Papa Powerbomb!
27:43Oh!
27:44Guys I thought that was it!
27:47Sami Zayn's in trouble!
27:49Sami Zayn's in trouble!
27:50That momentary hesitation of getting his footing, getting his balance, that cost Sami Zayn right there!
27:55Sami Zayn!
27:56Sami Zayn!
27:57Sami Zayn!
27:58Sami Zayn!
27:59You know what?
28:00I think that jump on the top rope may have really hurt him!
28:02Look in Sami Zayn's eyes!
28:04That's not the fire, that's not the fight we see in Sami Zayn time and time again!
28:12Fight!
28:13Fight!
28:14Fight!
28:15Fight!
28:16Fight!
28:17Fight!
28:18Fight!
28:19Fight!
28:20Fight!
28:21Fight!
28:22The official checking on Sami Zayn to make sure he's okay!
28:27Look at the absolute malice behind Kevin Owens, throwing those right hands!
28:36He's not waiting for Sami Zayn, he's not concerned about the well-being of Sami Zayn, he wants to win!
28:40He needs to be careful, he doesn't get disqualified, but this is what sets Kevin Owens apart from other men!
28:44He sees the blood in the water, and he's going in right now!
28:49Get off!
28:51Get off!
28:52Get off!
28:53Get off!
28:54Get off!
28:55Get off!
28:56Get off!
28:57Come on!
28:58Owens again continuing the assault!
28:59Sami Zayn's in a lot of trouble!
29:00Sami Zayn's in a lot of trouble!
29:01Absolutely vicious!
29:02What an uppercut!
29:03Sami Zayn, what does Sami Zayn have left?
29:06Look at these shots to the back of the head!
29:09Referee having to pull Owens off of Sami Zayn's, the champion hung up in the ropes!
29:14I can't get a look in his eyes, but they look glazed over right now!
29:20Kevin Owens continues the assault, I mean this is malice, viciousness!
29:24Kevin Owens is looking to swell Sami Zayn's face shut, look at the net, look how nasty these shots are!
29:29The ref's gotta think about this now!
29:31What's he thinking about?
29:32This is an NXT Championship match!
29:33Come on Sami, get up Sami, come on!
29:39Again the referee, look at the trainer out here!
29:42He is beating the hell out of Sami Zayn right now!
29:44Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn!
29:51No, again, Kevin Owens grabbing hold of Sami Zayn, and again a power bomb!
29:56Sami Zayn was being checked out by the medical staff and-
30:03Another one!
30:06Owens covering Sami Zayn and-
30:13Wow!
30:14Wow!
30:15That's gotta be instinct alone, but how much heart does Sami Zayn have?
30:20To be able to kick out after that?
30:22My God!
30:23Just a little shot!
30:25No!
30:26No!
30:27No!
30:28No!
30:29No!
30:30No!
30:31No!
30:32No!
30:33No!
30:37No!
30:38No!
30:39No!
30:40No!
30:41No!
30:42No!
30:43No!
30:44No!
30:45Yeah, come on.
30:46Enough is enough, Kevin Owens.
30:48Kevin Owens with another powerbomb.
30:50That's three.
30:52No, no, no, no.
30:54This is, my goodness.
30:56Just ended Owens.
30:57Just pin him and get him over it.
30:58Is this business or is this personal?
31:00Referee pulling Kevin Owens off of Sami Zayn.
31:15Oh, my God, Kevin Owens.
31:27Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?
31:31Due to the referee stopping the match,
31:45your new NXT champion.
32:15.
32:17.
32:22.
32:24.
32:26.
32:28.
32:29.
32:30.
32:32.
32:34.
32:36.
32:37Guys, Sami Zayn was rolling at this point of his championship matchup.
32:48Kevin Owens dominating from that point on.
32:55I mean, just pure malice.
32:57An amorous on the part of Kevin Owens.
33:05Again and again to the back of the head.
33:07The neck of Sami Zayn.
33:09How he kept kicking out that many times, I have no idea.
33:19Last gas effort right there by Sami Zayn.
33:22Getting the knees up.
33:23It was enough to turn the tides, but then they turned right back.
33:26Guys, this is the turning point of the match.
33:28Look at Sami's head bounce off of that steel rim.
33:30I know a thing or two about how that feels, unfortunately.
33:33And that was the beginning of the end for Sami Zayn.
33:36And we thought that this might have been in.
33:37The first of what would be many powerbombs.
33:47Guys, I'm still in shock right now.
33:53Powerbomb after powerbomb.
33:55Owens going for another one in the, you can see the referee waving it off, saying no more.
33:59Whether you like it or not, Kevin Owens has captured the NXT Championship after the referee, the referee determined that Sami Zayn was unable to continue.
34:26And we'll be right back.
