00:00The brightest stars in the women's division here in NXT
00:05getting set to go one-on-one with the championship on the line.
00:09Becky Lynch, the challenger against the boss, Sasha Banks.
00:16Maybe you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself,
00:19what do you need to do to make it to the top?
00:24Sasha Banks has clearly been looking for allies
00:26and apparently has found one here with Becky Lynch.
00:29It's an alliance, it is not a friendship, it is all about business.
00:33Sasha Banks opened my eyes to what it takes to get to the next level of NXT.
00:39And I am aligning myself with somebody who's gonna help me get to the top.
00:44Whatever Sasha Banks is preaching to Becky Lynch is obviously starting to work.
00:49If I were you, I would be watching your own best.
00:52Run!
00:59Fatal four-way matchup.
01:00I believe this is a master plan falling into place for Sasha tonight.
01:04Becky Lynch has certainly improved here recently.
01:06She's found something inside of her, an aggression that she maybe was lacking in the past.
01:11Working together here early on.
01:12Look at that, Charlotte going back first.
01:15This is the alliance I spoke of right now.
01:17Well, look at this.
01:18Oh.
01:19They can't pin them together.
01:22Where's your alliance at?
01:24And there it goes.
01:26Oh!
01:27Oh!
01:28Oh!
01:29Sasha Banks in to break it up.
01:30Blinding up Charlotte in.
01:32Becky, look at that!
01:33Now kicking Becky back down to the outside.
01:35Very fun.
01:36Look at this!
01:38Cover!
01:39And that's it!
01:40The Bulls!
01:41We are the new Women's Champion!
01:43I came from Ireland for one reason, and one reason only.
01:50And that is to become the NXT Women's Champion.
01:55Wait a minute, my goodness!
01:57Becky Lynch is the new number one contender!
02:01Now my former friend Becky wants to challenge me for my NXT Women's Championship.
02:06I can make everybody forget about you.
02:11I did not come here to take part.
02:14I came here to take over.
02:16Since my change in attitude, I have been undefeated.
02:20Unstoppable.
02:21Unstoppable.
02:22I will falsify this day.
02:24I will live another day.
02:27I will fight down my place.
02:29I will be unstoppable.
02:33And decide my veins.
02:35That's how you make a statement.
02:37Like a boss.
02:38There is a statement for you.
02:40Becky's turning around!
02:42Unstoppable.
02:43There is going to be no one to hold these two ladies back at TakeOver.
02:49TakeOver to the
02:582-2-1-1-8-27-1-1-70-3-4-0.
03:09Good's day, Becky.
03:10Good's day.
03:12Good's day, Becky.
03:14ゃ you bad.
03:15There is the challenger, Becky Lynch.
03:39You guys, a bit of a different book for Becky.
03:41You think this is an H.G. Wells novel?
03:43This is a steampunk night at Full Sail.
03:45This is Becky's night.
03:47This is the dream of a 15-year-old girl who traveled to Canada,
03:50traveled to Japan, traveled to England to learn her craft.
03:53The girl who worked as a stuntwoman, a flight attendant,
03:56all for this moment right here,
03:58live at NXT TakeOver Unstoppable
04:01to be NXT Women's Champion.
04:06Becky told me earlier today she's ready to take flight.
04:09The goggles represent.
04:10That new attitude.
04:14I thought maybe he's going to do some welding.
04:16Oh, no.
04:16Saxton, you want to talk about the match?
04:20Oh, no.
04:22Saxton, you want to talk about living your dream.
04:47Sasha Banks is living her dream as NXT Women's Champion.
04:52And she has no plans on slowing down.
04:55She's grasped, she's arrogant, she's confident, she's beautiful, she's talented.
05:02I could go on for days.
05:04Well, at the end of the day, no matter how you feel about that woman, she is the champion.
05:12Both challenger and champion took part in the Fatal 4-Wage at TakeOver Rival.
05:17When Sasha Banks countered the championship that night, well, what was an alliance between Becky and Sasha fractured from there?
05:27It seems like Becky Lynch was there for Sasha's dreams, but the moment Becky expressed her interest in becoming champion, that partnership came to an end.
05:37Becky always said it is an alliance, not a friendship.
05:41I had a dream, I had a dream, I had a dream, now there's nothing dragging down me, yeah.
05:47Becky Lynch winning the number one contendership in a triple threat match a couple weeks back.
05:50Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha.
06:01The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NXT Women's Championship.
06:08Introducing first, the challenger from Dublin, Ireland, Becky Lynch.
06:16You ever seen the Fifth Element, Rich?
06:19And her opponent from Boston, Massachusetts, she's the NXT Women's Champion, Sasha Banks.
06:32What are you talking about, the Fifth Element?
06:37It's a question, it's reminded of something.
06:40Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha.
06:44The NXT Women's Championship on the line.
06:47As Becky told me earlier on today, she's...
06:51She's tired of wearing the jersey of the other teams,
06:54tired of coming off the bench.
06:55She wants to be in the starting lineup.
06:58And that starting lineup means
07:00that ultimate prize of being women's champion.
07:05Challenger on your right with the fiery red hair.
07:09Champion Sasha Banks with the boss on the back of her trunks.
07:14Just think about what happened at the contract signing for this match.
07:19Becky Lynch made the champion tap out.
07:21Absolutely right, and there aren't too many divas or
07:24people on the planet that can say that about Sasha Banks.
07:27Becky Lynch has all the talent in the world in the ring.
07:29Well, there's some of that talent.
07:33Becky, look at this.
07:35That's unique.
07:36For the championship.
07:37One, two.
07:39Sasha turns it quickly around.
07:41Look at this, cover after cover, and what a bridge.
07:50He's jockeying for position.
07:52We have seen some tremendous matches.
07:59Cover, Becky Lynch for the title.
08:02And again, the champion able to kick out.
08:04Now remember this, it's a one on one matchup, which means the champion's advantage here.
08:09Becky Lynch has got to, if she wants to walk out of here as NXT Women's Champion,
08:12she's got to win by pinfall or submission.
08:15In other words, Becky has to beat Sasha.
08:18Sasha doesn't have to beat Becky.
08:20Sasha going for the cover.
08:22Lynch able to bridge out.
08:25Wow.
08:27She's got a lot of new offense here from Becky Lynch.
08:29That was really impressive.
08:29Hold on, Becky going for the arm bar.
08:31This is how she made the champ tap out, and look at Sasha scurry away to the ropes.
08:37Smart move by the champ.
08:39Here's something else really interesting.
08:44Becky Lynch has said, I still respect Sasha.
08:47I still think she's an exceptional character.
08:49But if you go on the other side of the coin and you talk to Sasha, I don't think she
08:53respects Becky Lynch at all.
08:57Again, working on the arm.
08:59Wow, Becky Lynch has apparently picked her target.
09:04Hey, back it up, listen up.
09:09One, two, three.
09:12You've seen before, we've seen some tremendous matches here.
09:15In the NXT Women's Division.
09:17That's a cheap shot.
09:18This one has all the makings to match up to all those, yeah.
09:26Look at Becky here.
09:31Wow, man.
09:37My goodness.
09:38We're talking about how innovative Becky Lynch was, but how about that from The Boss?
09:43That's why you're the Women's Champion.
09:44Yeah, there's very little substitute for experience and Sasha Banks has it.
09:48Listen, at the end of the day, Sasha, let's take another look at this real quick.
09:54This was beautiful.
09:55Catching the foot of Lynch.
09:56I don't know if I'd call it beautiful.
10:01Beautiful to me.
10:02As I started to say, Sasha Banks taught Becky Lynch how to win.
10:06Sasha, for the victory, to put Becky Lynch away in a kick out.
10:10Sasha didn't seem like Becky Lynch didn't know how to tie her own shoes until she met Sasha Banks.
10:15Becky wanted to do this since she was 15 years old.
10:18She's been around.
10:18She's gotten experience.
10:19Was it enhanced by Sasha?
10:20Yes.
10:22But there's still a skill set that Becky Lynch maybe has that Sasha Banks hasn't seen.
10:26Sasha, up the hair.
10:28Come on, Dale.
10:29Here, up here, come over here.
10:30Come on, do it, Becky.
10:33Uh-oh.
10:34There's that disrespect.
10:39Mocking Becky Lynch.
10:41No, no, Sasha trying to turn the tables going after the left arm of Becky.
10:49And that could really severely change the strategy of Becky Lynch in this match.
10:54How about that?
10:56Yeah, make it in front of the- She does it better anyway.
11:00The entrance of Becky Lynch.
11:02Told you she was arrogant.
11:03Whoa, hold on, Becky, for the title.
11:06Gonna turn things around on the champ.
11:09Sasha Banks for the victory.
11:18And again, a kick out by Lynch.
11:20Give you some insight into the mind of Sasha Banks.
11:21Sasha actually said that she sees herself as better, better than the fabulous Moolah,
11:29one of the greatest female competitors we've ever seen in this industry.
11:33That's where Sasha Banks' head is at.
11:34Can we just talk about why Sasha Banks is so elite?
11:37Did you see?
11:38She made the cover, Becky Lynch kicked out, and Sasha kept hold of those arms of Becky Lynch.
11:43That is amazing strategy.
11:45That is a veteran maneuver by Sasha Banks.
11:46Strength by Lynch, though.
11:48Getting back to her feet.
11:49Oh, no!
11:50Yeah, still holding on.
11:52Trying to force Becky Lynch to submit.
11:55Look at that.
12:08Becky's showing her something, though, by hanging in there, not giving up.
12:13Sasha continuing to keep that straitjacket maneuver locked in.
12:20Well-placed foot to the back.
12:22For even, you have to be impressed by Becky Lynch.
12:28Absolutely, I've said it over and over again, in the ring, Becky Lynch is absolutely talented.
12:34Personally, we don't get along, but I mean, I won't take anything away from her in-ring ability.
12:38And the fact that she's been able to withstand the boss for this long is impressive in itself.
12:42Look at the fact here that Sasha's still holding on despite Becky trying to create some separation.
12:46There you go.
12:47Becky trying to find an opening.
12:57Uh-oh.
12:58Uh-oh.
12:59Uh-oh.
13:00Uh-oh.
13:01There it comes.
13:02Becky knows what's coming.
13:03She's got to look at her hanging onto the ropes.
13:05No!
13:06To the arm.
13:07Cover, Sasha Banks trying to put Becky Lynch away.
13:13Now gets the shoulders down and a power out.
13:17So I respect Becky, I respect what she's trying to do, I respect her dream.
13:22But Becky's getting a harsh reality in what it is to compete against the elite.
13:27And the elite right now in NXT, in this movie's division, is Sasha Banks.
13:31Sasha Banks, no she's not!
13:36My gosh.
13:37Sasha Banks, no she's not!
13:38Look at the agony on the face of Becky Lynch.
13:40Look at how far back she's been in the-
13:44My gosh.
13:45You can't do that, you can't do that.
13:47No.
13:48She's got to tap out.
13:52My God.
13:53She's gonna break Becky's arm.
13:54That was hard to watch.
13:56Cover.
13:58No.
14:05Sasha Banks wants to retain that NXT Women's Championship at all costs.
14:09She is relentless, she is brutal right now, and this is awesome.
14:13Looks like she wants to rip out the arm of Becky Lynch.
14:15All right, I honestly don't know how much more Becky Lynch can, hold on.
14:22Becky Lynch can withstand this.
14:23Sasha just.
14:28This is getting kind of hard to watch.
14:29Welcome to the big leagues, Becky Lynch.
14:31Becky might have no choice but to submit.
14:36She wants to battle another day, it might be a wise decision.
14:40Sasha Banks isn't gonna stop, no one's gonna stop Sasha Banks.
14:43Well, you gotta understand something, you may never get this opportunity again in your career.
14:47Becky may never have this chance to prove herself, to prove that she can win the NXT
14:51Women's Championship.
14:53Becky Lynch, able to reverse, but Sasha right back into it.
14:59It's an unfortunate fact in life, Saxton, not everybody gets a trophy.
15:02Not everybody gets to be champion.
15:04Well, Becky still fight for hers.
15:06Here's Sasha Banks yelling at Becky Lynch, give up, gonna break your arm.
15:15Let's go Becky, let's go Sasha, let's go Becky, let's go Sasha, let's go Becky, let's go Becky, let's go Becky.
15:23I can't imagine, Becky, Becky reversing, cover, look at the strike, look at the strike, you gotta be kidding me, wow.
15:37Guys, that is passion, that is desire from a woman who was fighting with virtually one arm.
15:49Let's see what's to be champion, that much, that bad.
15:55You've gotta be impressed with this, look at this power by Becky Lynch,
15:59able to pick the boss up over her head and unceremoniously give her a ride.
16:06After all the punishment that Becky Lynch has taken,
16:12to be able to somehow pull off that maneuver.
16:17Gonna somehow be fighting now.
16:20Like you said, Byron, though, essentially one good arm.
16:25After that little flurry, one arm looks pretty effective.
16:28The women's title is on the line.
16:34Sasha Banks defending the championship by Becky Lynch getting fired up.
16:39Here she goes to the top rope.
16:41Becky Lynch delivering a drop kick.
16:44For the title, new champion here, a kick out by Sasha Banks.
16:54Becky Lynch trying to create new life for herself in this matchup.
16:57Once again, look at Becky Lynch taking chances and connecting on Sasha Banks.
17:03How much did that drop kick take out of Becky Lynch delivering it though?
17:06Becky's still standing.
17:07How does your strategy change at this point of the matchup when you've been injured,
17:16Corey, obviously Becky Lynch, that left arm has to be almost numb at this point.
17:22You're strategy is to avoid double knees in the face from Sasha Banks.
17:34Sasha Banks trying to put Lynch away.
17:36No, no, no, Becky's still in it, Becky's still in it.
17:38Again, a cover, the champ.
17:42Somehow Becky Lynch, what desire?
17:45I don't know where this is coming from.
17:46I mean, Saxton, you said it before, it's pure heart, pure passion.
17:50Hats off to Becky Lynch.
17:51I told you, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Becky Lynch.
17:54There may not be a rematch, there may not be a second chance.
17:57She's gotta put everything in her heart into this match.
18:01Even Sasha Banks is having a hard time believing Becky kicked out.
18:04Look at what Becky Lynch said,
18:09I'm not here to take part, I'm here to take over.
18:11Hold on, Sasha going right back after the left arm.
18:29And this time advantage Becky.
18:33Hey, you gotta get it back inside of here.
18:35You are, you are.
18:36You are.
18:39Now Becky realizes this is her moment.
18:42She can't let Sasha get away.
18:43She's gotta keep the fight.
18:46Becky now referring back to her strategy from earlier on tonight,
18:49going after the arm of Sasha Banks.
18:51She's gotta get Sasha back in the ring.
18:53Six.
18:54Referee up to the six count.
18:57Two ladies with bad arms right now.
18:58Pinfollow submission.
19:03The only way for the championship to change hands.
19:05Let's go Sasha, Becky Lynch.
19:08What is this?
19:10Becky Lynch, my goodness, what a suplex.
19:12Suplexed Sasha under her own arm.
19:14Becky Lynch is feeling it.
19:16Becky Lynch is feeling this moment.
19:20Wait a minute.
19:22She's got the arm, she's got the arm.
19:23Can't she get the arm or locked in?
19:25My goodness.
19:26Look at that.
19:28She's hyperextending Sasha's elbow with her feet.
19:30How creative is that?
19:33Champ able to break the hold.
19:35Now we gotta see what Sasha's made of.
19:37We have never seen this side of Becky Lynch.
19:42New champion, Becky Lynch trying to put the boss away.
19:45Now we are.
19:46And you're getting a kick out.
19:47We spent all this time talking about Becky's passion.
19:52What about Sasha Banks' passion?
19:54Take another look at this.
19:55Suplex right on the arm.
19:56Becky's gotta stay on her, she can't get frustrated now.
19:59She can't let this get to her head.
20:01So close.
20:03Becky's gotta realize she is so close.
20:05Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha.
20:09I know, uh-oh.
20:11Sasha may have saved herself right there.
20:15She's gotta get to the ropes, come on Sasha, get to the ropes.
20:24Becky's got it still still, Sasha's reaching.
20:30We're gonna see a new champion, Becky Lynch.
20:45Sasha reaching out, breaking the hole.
20:48My God, what a match right now.
20:51What competition in this women's division.
20:54Both of these women doing absolutely everything possible
20:59to become the NXT Women's Champion.
21:03Becky realizes, smart move by Sasha.
21:06Bought her a little bit of time, let that arm recover,
21:11let her heal, let her re-strategize.
21:14That's the worst thing you want if you're Becky Lynch.
21:16You cannot allow Sasha any recovery time in.
21:19Uh-oh.
21:20Wait a minute.
21:21Here comes Sasha Banks diving through the ropes.
21:23One arm and all.
21:25One arm and all.
21:26Becky caught her.
21:28Becky caught the champ.
21:29What's she gonna do with her?
21:34Right into the ring steps.
21:39Back first.
21:41I'm speechless right now.
21:44The fact that Becky Lynch, one arm and all, could catch Sasha Banks.
21:51But what about what it means to Sasha Banks?
21:53Sasha Banks risking everything just to keep the title.
21:56Becky's gonna get her back in the ring, guys.
21:58Becky's gonna get her back in.
21:59Becky's gotta think she's just a couple seconds away here
22:07from finally achieving her dream.
22:11She could just suck it up.
22:15Becky going to the top.
22:16My gosh.
22:17Sasha Banks.
22:18Sasha Banks.
22:19Sasha Banks.
22:20Banks statement.
22:21Submission.
22:22Submission locked in.
22:24Becky's trying to fight and she's trying to hold on.
22:27And Becky's forced to tap.
22:30What a tremendous match.
22:32Here is your winner and still the NXT Women's Champion, Sasha Banks.
22:43This match is gonna go down as one of the finest women's matches we have ever seen here in NXT.
22:48What a performance by Sasha Banks to retain the championship by firing Becky Lynch.
22:54Becky Lynch.
22:55My goodness.
22:56We went into this match and we knew that lady right there.
22:58Becky Lynch had to leave her heart out on the table.
23:01She had to bring every ounce of her desire to this match.
23:04And regardless, in defeat, Becky Lynch has proven herself.
23:08She has created her own team, her own jersey.
23:11And to me, tonight, Becky Lynch proved she is an All-Star.
23:16I don't think I can say it any better than you just did, Saxton, but I am blown away by Becky Lynch.
23:22Congratulations to both divas.
23:24Becky took a beating in this match, especially to her arm, but, guys, she just kept on fighting.
23:32The challenger is showing a tremendous amount of heart here tonight.
23:39Kicking out of her insurmountable odds here, turning things around and suplexing the champ on her left arm.
23:52Yeah, a lot of points in this match.
23:54She just got uncomfortable to watch the damage that both these two did to each other.
23:58And look at, this is what Becky Lynch won.
24:00And trying to almost snap through all the Sasha Banks to escape just in the nick of time.
24:07Graves, if Sasha wasn't able to grab the bottom rope right there, we would have seen a new champion.
24:11That could have been him.
24:12But you gotta talk about the toughness.
24:14You have to be impressed by Sasha Banks.
24:17Ram spine first, into the stairs, and then out of nowhere.
24:21Sasha Banks proving that she is the boss, proving why she is.
24:28The NXT Women's Champion, forcing Becky Lynch to submit.
24:35But what an effort by Lynch.
24:37There she is.
24:42Still your NXT Women's Champion.
24:47He's got a number on my way.
24:49Now we'll lay nobody on day.
24:50Yeah.
24:51Cause we gon' go for some more of the way.
24:54Yeah.

25:49she's definitely won the hearts of the NXT universe.
25:54And we all know, guys, that's not an easy feat to accomplish.
26:04What a show of respect.
