00:00:00On the fireworks come early tonight, welcome to NXT on the CW, presented by Progressive.
00:00:20And what a way to kick off NXT.
00:00:23Look at that man. Look at it. All up. Chisels called out of granite. The boys looking good.
00:00:38Come on, man. Stand up. Stand up. This is the D.N.A.L. gun company.
00:00:45Oh, that man. That man. Trey Williams. Oh, yes, man. Oh, yes.
00:00:56Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the D.N.A. World Champion, Trey Williams.
00:01:07Yeah. Still going, huh? That's right. I got good news for you.
00:01:18What do you think he'll keep his head set off all night?
00:01:24We just got started. But the announce table is about to become Trick N.A.
00:01:32You got a long night ahead of you. You better take a breath.
00:01:43Let's talk about it.
00:01:45Yeah, baby.
00:01:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:01:54Introducing first.
00:01:55Representing the high-rise.
00:01:59Wing in at 178 pounds, Wesley.
00:02:04As the T.N.A. World Champion gets settled in, Graves, how big of a match is this for someone like Wesley?
00:02:11By someone like Wesley, you mean somebody who feels perpetually overlooked and underrated.
00:02:17This could be a game-changing, career-altering opportunity for Wesley,
00:02:22who fully understands the assignment tonight. Wesley knows full well what is at his fingertips tonight.
00:02:28It was Wesley who told you, Trick Williams, he will take care of his opponent tonight.
00:02:34Show us how you do it on the west side, though.
00:02:37Trick, I got to ask. I know there's a lot of history between you and Wesley.
00:02:40It seems like it's all water under the bridge. You all on the same page now?
00:02:43You got to let that go, Corey. It's been a long time ago.
00:02:46I've been accused of hanging under a grudge once in a while.
00:02:48I believe in Joe Hendry. I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:02:56Because we love London and Paris and Tokyo...
00:02:59And his opponent, competitive by Scott.
00:03:02Let's swing it at 252 pounds.
00:03:07Joe Hendry!
00:03:11It's a damn thing.
00:03:12Listen to this place.
00:03:16Everyone on their feet.
00:03:20For one-third of the main event at TNA Slammiversary.
00:03:28Look at this. Look at it.
00:03:29And as we get ready for this, and I see tricks snarling.
00:03:41Graves, is Hendry's aggressive nature due to things that have been said to him or about him inside that TNA locker room?
00:03:48Listen, I don't know that Joe Hendry is aggressive by nature.
00:03:51I think there's somewhere deep down inside that Hendry does his best to contain for what Hendry needs to do tonight.
00:03:57And going forward, is let that wild side out.
00:04:00Let's not forget that wild side started to come out when he attacked you, Trick Williams.
00:04:04He attacked you last week.
00:04:06Hold on one second, Big.
00:04:07Corey, why is you waving your hand?
00:04:09I was stretching. I got a clamp.
00:04:10I apologize.
00:04:10Well, you need to fix that.
00:04:11It's a misunderstanding.
00:04:12That's right. He was waving.
00:04:13He was waving.
00:04:15Alright, now.
00:04:16Hey, Corey, did you just call Joe Hendry a little soft?
00:04:19Did I hear that?
00:04:20No, no, that must have been a producer in your hand.
00:04:22Okay, I was just saying.
00:04:25Well, as we get ready to settle in here, Trick, how are you preparing for the matchup coming up?
00:04:30TNA Slammiversary, July 20th.
00:04:32Yourself, Joe Hendry, Mike Santana for the TNA World Title.
00:04:36You do not need to be factored in the decision to lose the TNA World Title.
00:04:41I'm going to be real, Vic.
00:04:43What are they doing?
00:04:44I beat Joe Hendry.
00:04:46I beat Mike Santana.
00:04:47They need to prepare.
00:04:48Thanks.
00:04:49I'm the man here.
00:04:50Is there any difference, Trick, for you in preparation, knowing you're going to step across enemy lines?
00:04:55You're going into TNA territory.
00:04:56Man, I done been there before.
00:04:58Look, man, I've been doing this a long time, man.
00:05:00I've been doing this for two years.
00:05:01Let me put some respect on my name.
00:05:03Don't get hostile with Corey there, Trick.
00:05:05Booker, though, I do want to ask you, if you were a TNA wrestler, what would you be saying to Joe Hendry?
00:05:10What would I be saying?
00:05:11You dropped the damn ball.
00:05:12You let the locker room down.
00:05:14You let everybody hit TNA down.
00:05:16That's what I would be saying.
00:05:17What would you be saying?
00:05:18What would you be saying if you were a TNA locker room?
00:05:20If this guy just walked away and just left everybody, what would you be saying?
00:05:24I'd probably just be happy to be there.
00:05:26If you were a TNA locker room, just that might be a lot.
00:05:29Well, it's not as if Hendry hasn't tried.
00:05:32Mike Santana lost to first class.
00:05:34We saw what happened to Elijah.
00:05:36Trick, do you care to comment on Hendry's attack to you last week?
00:05:41Look, man, he a sucker.
00:05:42He a sucker.
00:05:43I mean, what type of man wants to hit a man when he ain't watching?
00:05:46Behind his back.
00:05:48Man, if you was really like that, announce yourself.
00:05:50He always popping up in appearing places.
00:05:52How about he announce himself and beat somebody up like a man?
00:05:54In other words, he needs to tag you if he's going to pick up on you, right?
00:05:58You know what I'm saying?
00:05:58Tag you in.
00:05:59I feel you, dog.
00:06:00Let's talk about it.
00:06:01Right now, Joe Hendry trying to out-muscle Wes Lee.
00:06:04Lee, though, trying his best to counter the strength and doing it with his athleticism.
00:06:09What a way to kick off NXT.
00:06:12It's holiday weekend.
00:06:13Oh!
00:06:14Big kick.
00:06:15Beautiful there, though.
00:06:16And charging right back in comes Wes Lee.
00:06:19And Wes Lee, hasn't Lee been someone that has stood out to you over his time here in NXT?
00:06:24No doubt about it.
00:06:26None more so than in this moment.
00:06:28Drop kicking Henry into our announce desk.
00:06:30Listen, Wes Lee has been on the record multiple times about how hungry he is,
00:06:34about how he wants to be in the main event.
00:06:36He wants to be the conversation in NXT.
00:06:38Show him how you're doing the west side, though.
00:06:41Show him how you're doing the west side.
00:06:42Oh!
00:06:43He just got back to the east side, the south side, the north side.
00:06:47His ass ain't going to the west side.
00:06:50Team OG!
00:06:52Team OG!
00:06:53Team OG!
00:06:55Back on NXT, Joe Hendry, Wes Lee, Trick Williams joining us on commentary.
00:07:00Trick will defend the TNA World title in a triple threat match.
00:07:03Pat TNA Slam-aversary on July 20th.
00:07:06And as Hendry took his eye off the ball, Wes Lee made him pay.
00:07:10Thanks to Tyson and Tyreek, who are on the outside dressed for success.
00:07:15It wasn't as though Hendry just opted to take his eye off the ball, Vic.
00:07:18Joe realized that Tyson and Tyreek were creeping up on him.
00:07:21Joe's basically one against three right now.
00:07:23Wes Lee disappeared, didn't he?
00:07:24He just appeared.
00:07:25Oh, he certainly just did.
00:07:26Trick, you have ruffled some feathers here in NXT.
00:07:29Right, wrong, or indifferent.
00:07:30We've seen how some people have looked at you.
00:07:32In your opinion, how has the TNA locker room embraced you as their champion?
00:07:37I ain't here to make friends.
00:07:38I'm here to make money.
00:07:39But if you don't like me, that's your problem.
00:07:40Whoa!
00:07:41Beautiful, beautiful.
00:07:41Beautiful, beautiful.
00:07:42So athleticism covering a near ball.
00:07:44Why ask a question like that?
00:07:46You know the rule, checks, and championships, man.
00:07:49That's what Trick is all about.
00:07:51He's about making that green, green dollar fee.
00:07:54Let's take another look at what was potentially a huge problem for Joe Hendry.
00:07:59Beautiful athleticism by Wes Lee, but not enough to finish the job just yet.
00:08:03Trick, you got to like what you're seeing right now.
00:08:05Man, I love that, man.
00:08:06That's just what we talked about.
00:08:08Take care of business, Westside.
00:08:11Had quite the stare down with NXT champion Ova Fendi a few weeks back.
00:08:16Trick, Ova will have his eyes on Jasper Troy.
00:08:19In Amora tonight, winner will head to the Great American Bash in Atlanta.
00:08:23But a big pump kick from Wesley rocking Joe Hendry.
00:08:27Not Hendry, right under the jaw.
00:08:29Around we go, look at this.
00:08:31Oh, Wesley wanted a satellite DDT, but Hendry put on the brakes.
00:08:35Certainly did.
00:08:36Bang!
00:08:37Suplex answering right back.
00:08:39Beautiful there by Joe Hendry.
00:08:42Textbook, baby.
00:08:43Trick, is there any concern on your side that maybe the next time you step in the ring against
00:08:46a Joe Hendry, it'll be a different competitor, a more hungry Hendry than before?
00:08:50Yeah, look.
00:08:50If I get it once, I'm going to do it again.
00:08:53He ain't the only one training.
00:08:54I'm working out every single day.
00:08:55I'm in the gym.
00:08:56Well, pivotal point of this matchup.
00:08:58Wesley told you, Trick, last week he would take care of Joe Hendry here tonight.
00:09:03But Hendry, firing back.
00:09:05Trying to keep that moment.
00:09:07Now going, big clothesline.
00:09:09And Joe Hendry all fired up.
00:09:14Wow.
00:09:19Look at all these sheep in the crowd.
00:09:21Look at all these sheep.
00:09:22He always want to please the fans, man.
00:09:24That's his biggest part.
00:09:24That's why he's about 10 pounds riding right now.
00:09:27No championship around his waist.
00:09:29Am I right?
00:09:30Am I right?
00:09:30I hear you, huh?
00:09:31I hear you, huh?
00:09:32Looking for the standing ovation.
00:09:36Hoisting up Lee.
00:09:37Able to counter for him.
00:09:38And answers back with a ride of his own.
00:09:41Take that with you.
00:09:42That body shot rocked Hendry.
00:09:44Let's go, Joe!
00:09:46Lee with a week in Joe Hendry.
00:09:48Hendry now hoisting up Lee.
00:09:51And look at this power.
00:09:53Pulled out some new tricks ahead of Slammiversary.
00:09:56Into the cover.
00:09:57Hook of the leg.
00:09:59Let's go!
00:09:59Yeah, saved by Tyson and Tyreek with Wes Lee.
00:10:06Beautiful awareness there by Wes Lee.
00:10:09Beautiful awareness.
00:10:11What the hell are you watching?
00:10:12You got trifocals.
00:10:13You didn't see that?
00:10:15He got back off of one.
00:10:16He got back off of one.
00:10:17Wait a minute.
00:10:17Tyson, Tyreek might be getting a little too close.
00:10:20Wait a minute.
00:10:21It's Mike Santana.
00:10:22Come on.
00:10:22Mike Santana.
00:10:25What the hell is he doing?
00:10:26Santana evening the odds.
00:10:28Swing and a miss by Wes Lee.
00:10:29And now Joe Hendry giving Lee a standing.
00:10:34Oh, finish it.
00:10:36Oh, hell no.
00:10:37Not like this.
00:10:38Not like this.
00:10:39Five, two, three.
00:10:39Come on, man.
00:10:44Here's your winner, Joe Hendry.
00:10:49Trick, you are not a happy individual at this moment.
00:10:54Corey, let's take a look.
00:10:55Closing moments of this match.
00:10:57Tyson and Tyreek would win that.
00:10:59That's Ted Hendry's attention.
00:11:01But luckily, Mike Santana of TNAs would show up and wreck shop.
00:11:06Opening the door for a little power display from Joe Hendry.
00:11:11Making a believer out of Wesley with a standing ovation.
00:11:16And Trick Williams, you better be ready because you've got two hungry stars gunning for your goal.
00:11:24Williams staring at the two men that are looking to put an end to Trick.
00:11:29I just don't know why you guys did that.
00:11:36I mean, I'm only trying to do good things and I just, I don't get it.
00:11:38Was I doing something bad?
00:11:40We were just trying to keep you from doing something that you would regret.
00:11:42Which is what good friends do.
00:11:44Because for the hundredth time, you need to keep an eye on her.
00:11:48Izzy is not your fault.
00:11:49Why did you two get involved in my match when Tatum was trying to help me?
00:11:57What are you talking about?
00:12:00Tatum, look, I know you didn't mean to cost me the match.
00:12:02And I know your intentions were pure.
00:12:04And just please believe that I know you did not try to hurt me in any way.
00:12:09And I may have lost the match, but I feel like I won your friendship.
00:12:14I mean, at least I hope I did.
00:12:16You know what?
00:12:16I'm sick of this.
00:12:17Tatum, if you want to fall for her act, then go right ahead.
00:12:23Clearly, Zaruka is already a team.
00:12:26And I don't know about you, but I feel like we'd make a great one, too.
00:12:31I think she's right.
00:12:40Well, Sol and Zarya have tried to help Tatum, but she didn't want to listen.
00:12:44Tag team action is still to come.
00:12:46Here tonight.
00:12:50And the question has been, can you trust this man?
00:12:53That is what Tony Dean needs to answer.
00:12:56We will hear from Luca Crucifino next.
00:12:59Biggie, I'm making a band.
00:13:01Bought to go overseas.
00:13:02I'll take the same.
00:13:06Combo and individual event tickets for SummerSlam and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey,
00:13:11on Saturday, August the 2nd, and Sunday, August the 3rd, are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:13:18And here comes a man who has some explaining to do.
00:13:36Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Luca Crucifino.
00:13:49Booker, can you trust this man?
00:13:52Honestly, can you trust Luca?
00:13:55I can tell you this.
00:13:57Crucifino's actions has been untrustworthy.
00:14:01I can say that.
00:14:02I think this guy's a fly in the ointment.
00:14:04I think this guy belongs chasing ambulances, not here in NXT.
00:14:07Tony D'Angelo has been questioning my loyalty since Stand and Deliver.
00:14:14And after last week, I want to put this to bed.
00:14:17I want to put this to rest.
00:14:19So, Tony, please come out here.
00:14:25Well, that's a mighty bold move.
00:14:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, everybody, look at this.
00:14:35Guys, my consigliere is calling me out here.
00:14:47All the tables have turned, Luca.
00:14:54Tony, you seem to think that everyone's against you.
00:14:57Oh, no, you're right.
00:14:58You're not out to get me.
00:15:00At least that's not what the last month has said.
00:15:01See, last week, you screwed me in my Heritage Cup match and served it on a platter for stats.
00:15:09And then you punched me in the face.
00:15:12Listen, as I recall correctly, you're the one who hit me in the face first.
00:15:21Tony, I gave you the respect to listen to you.
00:15:24Now you're going to listen to me.
00:15:25You want to talk about loyalty?
00:15:31Fine.
00:15:32Let'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.
00:15:41Loyalty 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.
00:15:52I've turned down and given up everything that I've done up to this point for a chance.
00:15:57Tony, for a chance to be in the WWE.
00:16:00And you know, you know, without a doubt that I have never done a damn thing to doubt you, Tony.
00:16:08Never.
00:16:09And you know what that is?
00:16:12That's loyalty.
00:16:14Luka, Luka, I got to say, I wouldn't be standing here, your Heritage Cup champion, if it wasn't for you.
00:16:33So thank you, man.
00:16:34Luka, listen to me.
00:16:36This is exactly what I'm talking about.
00:16:38This stuff right here.
00:16:39Hey, Luka, thank you.
00:16:40Shut the hell up.
00:16:42You're not part of this family.
00:16:43This is between me and Tony.
00:16:48Yeah, Stax.
00:16:49This is between me and my consi...
00:16:51Oh!
00:16:55Oh, my God.
00:16:59How do you like that, huh?
00:17:00How do you like that, punk?
00:17:02That's what you got.
00:17:03Me and this guy are taking over.
00:17:04Me and this guy.
00:17:09My loyalty lies with Luka Crucifino.
00:17:13Talk about a turn of events.
00:17:19Guys, we're left with more questions than answers here on NXT.
00:17:25Obafemi, later tonight, we see Yoshiki Inomora battle Jasper Troy for the opportunity to challenge you at the Great American Bash for your NXT championship.
00:17:38So do you have any predictions or preference on who you face?
00:17:40Well, I can see why the WWE Universe has warmed up to Yoshiki Inomora in such a short amount of time.
00:17:47I 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.
00:18:00But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not it.
00:18:01I want to see.
00:18:05Oba, tonight, I show you grit.
00:18:09I show you tenacity.
00:18:10I'm hungry for the biggest test.
00:18:18Josh, why don't you tell your boy to be ready?
00:18:21Because I missed all the chaos here on NXT, championships changing hands.
00:18:26There's one constant, and that is Obafemi.
00:18:29Remind yourself, I am not the hunted.
00:18:31I am the hunter, and the bigger name I put down, the more prestigious my reign becomes.
00:18:37So, I'll be seeing the winner very soon.
00:18:42You won't be waiting long.
00:18:45See you at the bash.
00:18:54My way, my life.
00:18:56Massive matchup, still to come.
00:19:10The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:19:14It's to do the first, from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, Lexus King!
00:19:21This man did a lot of talking last week to his opponent here tonight.
00:19:29The question is, can Lexus King back it up?
00:19:34King goes one-on-one with Miles Bourne next.
00:19:41And NXT on the CW is presented by Progressive.
00:19:46Save a new bundle, auto, home, and motorcycle insurance.
00:19:49Visit Progressive.com.
00:19:53And there is Lexus King, who, well, last week, tried to make a mockery out of the University of Florida.
00:19:59And the Florida Gators there, Tyreek Sapp, George Gumbs Jr., they are here live tonight
00:20:04with the best seat in the house to see their boy take on Lexus King.
00:20:08Woo!
00:20:09Woo!
00:20:10Woo!
00:20:10Woo!
00:20:11Woo!
00:20:11Woo!
00:20:12Woo!
00:20:13Woo!
00:20:14Woo!
00:20:15Woo!
00:20:16Woo!
00:20:17Woo!
00:20:18Woo!
00:20:19Woo!
00:20:20Woo!
00:20:20And his opponent, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, Miles Bourne!
00:20:29Oh, hey James, you!
00:20:31Bourne's certainly not alone tonight, has the Florida Gators here with him.
00:20:35But Graves, these two, they're different kinds of lone wolves.
00:20:39What did you say?
00:20:40And I'm asking you that because Lexus King last week said there was a lot of similarities.
00:20:43They had a lone wolf mentality.
00:20:45Some would say these are two completely different individuals.
00:20:48different individuals. Some would say that Lexus King doesn't exactly have both forwards in the
00:20:52water. What I'm curious to see tonight is what Miles Bourne truly is capable of going forward
00:20:57since freeing himself of no quarter catch group. We've seen flashes of greatness for Miles Bourne,
00:21:02but can he sustain it? This is a big test for Booker. And Booker, I'll come to you with the
00:21:06same thing. I mean, you've been a big fan of Lexus King. Do you see any similarities to what
00:21:11King was saying one week ago? I really can't say, but I can't say this. Cameraman, zoom in on the
00:21:16abs, man. Lexus King, the star of all television, is looking good. I don't think anybody wants to
00:21:23see any of that. Bourne had people around him. King, though, has always been alone, possibly because
00:21:29nobody wants to be around Lexus King. Come on, Lexus King. You've got to give this guy a lot of credit.
00:21:33I mean, I've been hearing this. And in my opinion, one of the best right now, who's holding his own
00:21:39against Miles Bourne. Somebody let you step up. Look at the beat. Take me. Oh, my God. You teach that
00:21:44your story. Yes, man. Step over the back. Step over the back. The classic Booker 2 strategy.
00:21:50This matchup continuing. Graves, did you see Byron Saxon sneaking around here all day today,
00:21:55trying to get the football signed by the Florida Gators? The less we have to say about Byron
00:21:59Saxon, the better. Here's a Gator role being executed. Oh, I don't like that. Miles Bourne. He should
00:22:03add this to your repertoire, Book. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. My thing is,
00:22:07Miles Bourne, he's not got a lot of talent. But I wonder, was it a mistake stepping away from the
00:22:12QCC? Well, certainly right now, it doesn't look to be that way. Tipping the cap there to
00:22:15Saffir Cummings Jr. here, front row. Got everybody in the NXT universe doing the Florida Gator
00:22:20chomp when half the people here haven't graduated high school. I'll let you defend that later
00:22:24on on social media. Oh, and right now, big right hand from Bourne. Oh, my God. You see that?
00:22:32You see that? You see that? Very impressive athleticism. Alexis King. What is it, you call him,
00:22:38Book, the star of all television? All of all television, man. I'm talking about all over
00:22:42the world. This guy, look at the jawline. Look at the jawline. This guy, you can tell he's been
00:22:46working on his body, and right now, he's working over Miles Bourne. I see the jawline. I'll see the
00:22:51paint on his face, too. He's now looking for maybe a super... Oh, God, man. Floating right over into the
00:22:59cover. Hook of the leg and a kick out by Miles Bourne. Can we please give Lexus King a little bit of
00:23:04credit? All right, well, let me take this for you. You want to get a credit? Here's your chance to do it.
00:23:07Is Lexus King in position to be giving someone like the University of Florida Gators or even
00:23:12Miles Bourne advice? Advice? Look, a guy that went to the point that this guy had winning the
00:23:18Heritage Cup championship, and right now, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, I would be taking
00:23:21advice from him. Yes, I would. King charging in. Big knife-edge. Certainly, though, Graves, is a
00:23:29different side of Lexus King than we've seen in the past. What's me going to do? I'm trying,
00:23:35but neither of you are answering my questions, because you're over-talking to him. He's sitting
00:23:38over here trying to answer. You love the guy. We know. I got this. Let's take another look
00:23:42at the tremendous analysis and precision from the star of all television, Lexus King U2.
00:23:48How am I doing? Well, not U2. I answered that. Precision tactician. That's what he is right
00:23:53now, because he's... Say that five times in a row. Lexus King. Oh, he just...
00:23:59Went up top, and now it is starting to turn into a slug message, because these two just
00:24:02do not like you. Sometimes it's what it takes, though. Oh, no. Just let it get ugly. Start
00:24:06throwing hands. Throw some illegal blows there, too, by Miles Boyd. Refugee, just let it go.
00:24:11Oh, baby. I like that. I know. You like it. You like it. I'm mostly impressed by the fact
00:24:19Lexus King trims his facial hair with an Etch-A-Sketch, but we'll get to that later. And now,
00:24:24try to fire back big right hand, and that slap, Graves, and they have waken up Miles
00:24:29Bourne. No doubt about it. King in all types of trouble right now.
00:24:33Bourne really. I was going to say, this is the same Miles Bourne who took Obafemi, the
00:24:37NXT champion, to the limit not long ago. It's still to come. Jasper Troy, Inamora,
00:24:42winner of the face. Obafemi for the NXT title at the Great American Bash.
00:24:47Nice counter, though, by King for a moment. King, looking for a kick. Got caught. Bourne now.
00:24:53They'll be waiting for that Olympic slam.
00:24:54High angle, drop, center of the ring. Hook to the leg for the victory in an earpull.
00:25:00It's not going to be enough. You can't stop Lexus King that easy, man.
00:25:04Say something nice about Miles Bourne. How can Miles flourish on his own?
00:25:07No, I said that. I said that.
00:25:09Looking King going to the eyes.
00:25:10Miles Bourne is in a perfect position to step out on his own, but like I say,
00:25:13leaving the NXT, that could have been a mistake, but sometimes you need pals.
00:25:17Sometimes you need buddies in this business.
00:25:19You'll be looking for the coronation. That's funny, because you always tell me it's not about friends.
00:25:22It's a championship. That's a pal.
00:25:24Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:25:26Big drop. Kick, though, from Miles Bourne. Under the jaw. King is rocked. Gators are chomping.
00:25:32Bourne is focused. And bam. Dropping Lexus King, center of the ring.
00:25:39And Bourne proves he didn't need the advice.
00:25:44Here is your winner, Miles Bourne.
00:25:48What a win for Miles Bourne, who continues to build momentum in NXT, celebrating with his friends
00:25:58at the Florida Gators. Let's go! Let's take a look at the next level athleticism of Miles Bourne.
00:26:06Dropkick right on the money. Boom!
00:26:09Followed up by something of a zigzag, taking down the star of all television.
00:26:15Big win for Miles Bourne. And Miles ready to prove that hard work indeed pays off in NXT.
00:26:24Let's go!
00:26:24NXT's been nothing but chaos since Dark State popped out. We got an NXT superstar as TNA champ.
00:26:35Now we got a Noah wrestler gunning for the NXT title.
00:26:37Man, Hank and Tank get dropped. Everybody want to put their finger at it.
00:26:41Man, all I'm saying is, everything that's going on around here, because Dark State allows it.
00:26:45Man, we see everything. It's our playground.
00:26:48And chaos is our game.
00:26:49Yeah, so y'all might as well get used to it. Go ahead and get comfortable, because if we catch y'all lacking, there ain't no saving you, bruh.
00:26:57Because we can slide anywhere, anyplace, anytime.
00:27:01Hey, bruh. Matter of fact, I think I know where we finna go next.
00:27:07But y'all don't.
00:27:15I'm a grown-ass woman.
00:27:18The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:27:28Introducing that from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:27:32The Hale!
00:27:35Seems to be a little extra fired up tonight, Graves.
00:27:38Is that even possible?
00:27:39This woman has boundless energy.
00:27:42I suggest yoga, maybe some breath work.
00:27:45The Hale getting ready to take on Lady Reed.
00:27:47Next.
00:27:48That this was over.
00:27:52Welcome back to NXT.
00:28:00And 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 she stood toe-to-toe with the NXT Women's Champion, JCJ?
00:28:16It's a fantastic way to introduce yourself to the NXT Universe, as Lainey Reed did.
00:28:21But the trouble is, she claimed that she was going to be the one to beat JCJ and was unable to do so.
00:28:27Tonight is of the utmost importance to show the rest of the world who Lainey Reed truly is.
00:28:31Lainey is looking to become the biggest, the largest here in NXT, man.
00:28:36Oh, yes!
00:28:38I'll ask you to elaborate on that, but the bell is about to ring and we're about to get underway between these two.
00:28:44And on the topic of Jane, she faces Jordan Grace, WWE Evolution for the NXT Women's Championship in Atlanta, July 13th, right after the Great American Bash.
00:28:54Tia Hale, Graves, is there a part of you that thinks Thea got the short end of the stick?
00:28:59Remember, she did tap out Jada Parker.
00:29:02Listen, I understand the frustration of Tia Hale, who right now is just unloading its speed.
00:29:07Appears as though Thea has had enough.
00:29:09Whoa.
00:29:09Maybe she's tired of being overlooked.
00:29:11And you're right, Jada Parker, let's call it what it is, out-strategized, out-smarted Thea.
00:29:15But right now, Thea on admission 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?
00:29:24I mean, I think it is because, I mean, right now, Thea Hale, I mean, she's her worst enemy.
00:29:30Right now, she had that next one against Jada Parker.
00:29:32But you cannot let this bitch just give away.
00:29:36Right there, the referee didn't do his job.
00:29:38He didn't break the hole.
00:29:39She showed the whole goal.
00:29:40That was a mistake, a big mistake.
00:29:42She's trying to get over the events of that Evolution Eliminator and trying to...
00:29:45But instead got dropped base first by Reed.
00:29:48Reed followed the German suit.
00:29:50I see something, Eleni Reed.
00:29:52She's got that impact.
00:29:53She's looking at this big, big star here.
00:29:55And then he's looking at that blue and the boom.
00:29:57I love it, man.
00:29:59Southern sensation certainly turning heads very quickly here in NXT.
00:30:04You see that?
00:30:04You see that?
00:30:04You see that, D?
00:30:06That boom right to the snout?
00:30:07I love it, man.
00:30:09The greatest snout on the side of your head.
00:30:12Better in the ear, Book.
00:30:13He's just excited right now.
00:30:14I can tell.
00:30:15Stop reading.
00:30:16Lainey's got you feeling some kind of way, Book.
00:30:18I get it.
00:30:19I told you he's fanning himself when we started the thing.
00:30:21Graves, how deep is the NXT women's division when you truly look at it all jokingly side?
00:30:25I mean, I don't think I can state it adequately enough.
00:30:28I mean, every time one star goes to Raw or SmackDown, you've got...
00:30:31It seems like three more pop up.
00:30:33It's a great problem to have.
00:30:35It's a deep women's division, and it continues to evolve.
00:30:38Eleni Reed now taking her time.
00:30:40And last week, Booker, it was Reed who said, Thea gets played like a fiddle.
00:30:45I'm sure you agree.
00:30:46Not only that, Lainey Reed, she stepped in right off the rip.
00:30:49Call out, baby.
00:30:51Call out to the champ.
00:30:52And my thing is this.
00:30:53Is this a UFC?
00:30:54Is this a UFC?
00:30:55They call us.
00:30:56I love it, man.
00:30:57That's what Lainey Reed is all about.
00:30:58Well, we take a look a little bit deeper at Lainey Reed and some of the comments she's
00:31:02made with call outs, to Booker's point.
00:31:04Hey, Gravy, is Reed right with the things she has said about Thea Hale, specifically that
00:31:08she hasn't changed one bit since we've been chasing you?
00:31:11Oh, take a look at this.
00:31:13Powerful.
00:31:14Wow.
00:31:15Shoulder breaker.
00:31:16Executed excellently into a cover hook of the leg.
00:31:19And somehow, Thea able to kick out.
00:31:22Back to your question, Vic.
00:31:22I sort of have to agree with Lainey Reed, but I do want to take another look at this.
00:31:27Double eye.
00:31:28Shoulder breaker.
00:31:29That could have ended it.
00:31:30Credit to Thea Hale for surviving.
00:31:32But I agree.
00:31:32I've said something similar.
00:31:34Thea Hale wanted so bad to be, as she put it, a grown-ass woman to stand on her own two
00:31:38feet.
00:31:39And really, nothing has changed about her strategy or her approach to the ring.
00:31:43Thea Hale last week also admitted that adulting is hard.
00:31:49The locker room is mean as she's trying to get back into this match.
00:31:52And who said that?
00:31:53Thea Hale said that.
00:31:54A grown woman said that?
00:31:55Yes.
00:31:55I've just given up.
00:31:57It's a selfish business, man.
00:31:58You've got to be thinking about eight number one right now.
00:32:01Oh!
00:32:01She's doing that in this matchup.
00:32:03But can she continue to do that?
00:32:04That's the mindset.
00:32:05Stay focused, Thea.
00:32:06Stay focused.
00:32:07And Thea charging right in and trying to turn this matchup around.
00:32:11Into the cover.
00:32:11Another hook to the leg.
00:32:13And a kick out by Lainey Reed getting that inside shoulder up.
00:32:16Listen, in my opinion, I think Thea needs to take what she has, which is a seemingly
00:32:20endless amount of energy.
00:32:22She's frenetic.
00:32:23She's frantic.
00:32:24If she can channel it, if she can focus it, use it in bursts, in spurts, rather than just
00:32:28non-stop chaos, it might serve Thea well in the future.
00:32:32All right now, Lainey Reed again.
00:32:34Looking for some high-impact offense.
00:32:36Countered by Thea Hale.
00:32:37Hale charging right back in.
00:32:38We've seen this in the past, could be trying to block in that Kimura.
00:32:42It's a smart strategy by Lainey, though.
00:32:44Oh!
00:32:44Taking the feet out into the cover.
00:32:46Big ref!
00:32:47Ref!
00:32:47And then rip!
00:32:48Nice job by our official.
00:32:50Thea Hale got caught the last time.
00:32:53That was smart.
00:32:53And right from behind, Thea Hale this time.
00:32:55Rolling up center of the ring.
00:32:57Good job by our officiating crew here tonight.
00:33:02That's it!
00:33:04That's it!
00:33:05My word, but...
00:33:05Hey, hey, hey!
00:33:09What the...
00:33:10Here's the winner, Lainey Reed!
00:33:13You were so eager to tattle last time.
00:33:15Why don't you get our official's attention?
00:33:17Got to admit, it not only was Reed holding the ropes, it appeared, Fia had her hand.
00:33:23But this is a shocking upset.
00:33:25The sticks, man.
00:33:26You know that.
00:33:29The faggot can turn backwards.
00:33:31They bring everything.
00:33:31That's why they say that boy is bouncing.
00:33:33I know he's really bouncing.
00:33:34We know he's bouncing.
00:33:35But, Tavion, you were so close to beating Javon last week.
00:33:38And selfishly, I'm glad you're still in the group.
00:33:40Yeah, well, imagine having a face mask on the whole time.
00:33:43I know.
00:33:43You know, Tavion, what Jasper ended up doing to Javon, wasn't that what?
00:33:46You were meant to do, Tom.
00:33:48And you didn't.
00:33:49And look what happened.
00:33:50You lost.
00:33:51Which just proves my point that you still need more time in the NQCC.
00:33:55Does it, Charlie?
00:33:56Yes, it does.
00:33:57Look, I'm not making no excuses, all right?
00:33:58I lost.
00:33:59Cool.
00:34:00But you know what?
00:34:00I want the exact deal you offered, Miles.
00:34:02A one-on-one match against you.
00:34:04And if I win, I'm out, dog.
00:34:07I don't think you want to do that, Tavion.
00:34:08That's going to be two losses in a row for you.
00:34:10No, I mean, I think he does.
00:34:11That is what you just said.
00:34:12Thank you very much, Ram.
00:34:13I can hear you.
00:34:14You're right next to me.
00:34:15Look, Tavion, you really want that match so bad?
00:34:18Fine.
00:34:19But here's the thing.
00:34:20When I win, this conversation we're having, it's not happening again.
00:34:24That's also fair.
00:34:28It's a deal.
00:34:29It's a deal.
00:34:45the following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall introducing first
00:35:08the team of sorry and the nxt women's north american champion so
00:35:20well we can call it any way we want to this duo took matters into their own hands
00:35:26to try and help tatum last week paxley prefers though her new friend
00:35:33we're gonna have a tag team match between all four of these women next on nxt
00:35:39rep your squad the nxt locker room lives in fear of oba femi he's dominant he's invincible he's a
00:35:49titan but did he look that way when he was in the ring with me the nxt champion barely survived
00:35:56and now i'm only one match away from the rematch that i want and i know oba he rooting for in
00:36:02amora because he knows what's waiting at the bash if i get my hand raised tonight
00:36:07in amora i'm going through you and oba femi you may be backed by destiny but your destiny is mine
00:36:14truth will ultimately prevail but there's pain bringing it to light
00:36:31and the reporter the team are tatum patchy and the coolant izzy day
00:36:48look i'm not one for conspiracies but all signs are pointing to the culling taking out the nxt tag
00:36:57team champions hank and tank last week but we also saw tatum paxley get carried away
00:37:04by zal ruka last weekend to try and help tatum paxley so graves i toss it to you who do you think
00:37:11is more trustworthy is he dame or soul ruka i don't know if trustworthy is the word that i would
00:37:19use but let's talk about the culling let's be honest they prey on the weak and the broken
00:37:24that's where tatum paxley is that's where she belongs and while we're at it to be perfectly
00:37:30honest i don't know if i trust anything about zarya to me she's just riding the coattails of soul ruka
00:37:37and for some reason she's trying to convince soul that they're best friends but trust me trust me
00:37:42mark my words somewhere down the line we're going to be talking about how did we see this coming
00:37:47zarya is going to stick it to soul ruka you ever have a conversation with zarya nope
00:37:52well where are you getting where are you jumping to conclude whoa and wait a minute
00:37:58sorry it's on is he coming in sticking up for her well i guess her friend however you want to
00:38:03call but there's some of that teamwork there graves from zal ruka i never said they weren't an
00:38:08effective team i just said you couldn't trust her well they got a very strong bond and stronger
00:38:12don't you think though since souls went over the for the women's north american title or do you think
00:38:17it's because zarya has eyes on that championship yeah let's take another look at this exchange right
00:38:23here this fantastic teamwork as it was but you're 100 right vic keep your friends close keep your
00:38:30enemies closer zarya looks at that north american championship some kind of way you ain't lying there's a
00:38:36method to the madness man but sorry i feel the same way man you can't trust her great great minds
00:38:44still to come we will hear from the number one contender to the nxt women's championship jordan

00:39:47thinking in this match they don't want to hurt tatum paxley they're trying to help tatum paxley
00:39:51data actually is looking for a friend and i think she's found one in izzy dame and izzy dame has just
00:39:57found somebody that she can use at the end of the day so everybody get what they want i like it
00:40:04actually able to kick out of booker though why would tatum choose evil over good you know i don't
00:40:11i wouldn't say it's evil what an evil and totally subjective what do you mean you're telling she has
00:40:16great intentions izzy dame someone who tore the family apart someone who was able to manipulate
00:40:23a situation against sean spears the north american championship several months ago i see a woman who
00:40:28lent a helping hand as you so eloquently put it to someone who is down on their luck someone who
00:40:33needed a little help a little motivation izzy dame into the cover hooks the leg and above all else
00:40:38i think izzy dame understands what this game is all about booker can you help me out i mean you put that
00:40:44great i mean that was a great soliloquy that you just put out right there can you spell soliloquy
00:40:50he used it properly so it doesn't matter what great graves is good graves can sell a ketchup
00:40:55popsicle to a woman in white gloves ketchup popsicle and now big right hand from soul firing right back
00:41:03on izzy who fires back in her own right and it's almost as if these oh these women are fighting over
00:41:10tatum paxley who just made a tag i don't think somebody will realize no no no no they're trying
00:41:14to fight this saber they're trying to help her out beautiful data back in a kick out
00:41:19listen you know what soul rook needs to be concerned about the north american championship you know what
00:41:24zara needs to be concerned about how to take the north american championship or how to put herself in
00:41:28the nxt women's title picture cross body a thing of beauty from tatum paxley who is wildly talented
00:41:35in the small instances when she gets her head right well as we also focus in on this too booker
00:41:41regardless of personal feelings as she just was tagged out of the matchup izzy dame has certainly
00:41:46dominated the field since joining the cup izzy dame i will call her the leader she's been making all the
00:41:53power plays if she can get a win tonight definitely definitely that would be a big big big big uh
00:42:00check mark let's just say that x marks the spot dame to the outside tatum getting hoisted oh baby i don't
00:42:06like this so boy so boy so boy one more time time to try right down on izzy dame and now look at the
00:42:17power of zarya just tossing out tatum onto izzy zaruka standing tall here on nxt don't say that again
00:42:26zarya sol ruka been in control up until this moment and oh tatum paxley izzy dame making
00:42:41their presence known making it felt as spears niko vance on the outside cheering on tatum and
00:42:47booker what do you think the rest of the cully thinks of tatum i think they're thinking um she's
00:42:51the right person for the job tatum paxley could be the newest member of the calling especially
00:42:57like i say we get a victory tonight everything's lovely man spears vancey insurance policy on the
00:43:03outside zarya able to get out of the way for a moment trying to showcase that power nice counter
00:43:08by tatum and tatum with a nice drop wow and think about what the addition of tatum paxley could mean
00:43:14for the calling we see them grow stronger they're they're switching pieces in and out to maximize
00:43:19their effectiveness look at this this is tremendous teamwork beautiful team so you agree what booker
00:43:27said that the calling has only gotten stronger in recent weeks short arm clothesline hook of the leg
00:43:33and an ear fall when you find a way to appeal to the broken to the weekend and you can unite them and
00:43:38you can use the things that broke them to strengthen them you are creating a very very dangerous group of
00:43:44human beings beautiful we're not playing scrabble here book we don't get more points for using it
00:43:49twice is he gifted some dolls to tatum great maybe that's your point that's all it takes putting tatum's
00:43:55heart back well that's what i was trying to get it was symbolic oh oh it's symbolic yeah that was symbolic
00:44:01too it'd be like if i bought you a tube of your favorite honey because we didn't have a great show
00:44:05look at tatum paxley oh baby oh baby two to the half hook of the leg will it be enough
00:44:12and a near fall beautiful somersault leg drop for tatum paxley partners friends have left her in the
00:44:19past some unexpected maybe let me i'll look at it the other way maybe just maybe she found a true
00:44:26friend booker in izzy day let me tell you right now tatum paxley has a lot of talent i think the
00:44:31culley can really truly hone in on that talent and get the best of tatum paxley out of the middle
00:44:37every that's the way i'm doing you got a lot of experience think of the value inside the mind of sean
00:44:43spears this is a man who's been there done that around the world tasted the success sulked in failure
00:44:49hook of the leg off the in cigarette spears is a wealth of knowledge and when you take these people
00:44:55again who for all intents and purposes are in a dark spot in their life spears has figured out how
00:45:01to maybe manipulate is the right word but build them back up you know what i call it right the gps
00:45:07just just put in the information just log in your coordination and he will get you there yes baby oh
00:45:13yes coordinates that's right that's what i mean i use the gps you use maps now these days i got a
00:45:19time in your car i got ways oh yes well right now tatum paxley finding ways to continue this matchup
00:45:28and for the culling a tag was made izzy dame back in and this table wow sorry i got the knees up just
00:45:35in time tag and here comes the women's north american champion who's finding her own ways
00:45:41to turn the tables in this matchup in the nick of time too because zaryu is feeling it a little home
00:45:47alone action right here taking down running right back around wow right to the face in control
00:45:57is he running it that's a unique tag for zari was just able to get out of the matchup
00:46:05but nonetheless working like a wild machine the whole ruka just needed a solid base to launch that
00:46:10attack zarya now has izzy scooped up
00:46:15oh double up tag team action right here going for the big this could be the coup d'etat
00:46:21oh man with a little extra twist into the cover goes zarya who is legal for her team and running up the
00:46:29bow breaking it up was tatum this is a new side of paxley we've never seen before and i hate to admit
00:46:37it up until now it's because of izzy damon the culling as they did impact that so much talent it's just
00:46:43about holding that talent and breaking it out right now sorry you're going for me oh no no breaker by
00:46:48izzy and you know izzy right now is he looking for tatum there's no tatum what the hell is she
00:46:54what do you mean where the hell is she just sorry it dropped a second ago is soul ruka
00:46:58she is legal up over lands on her feet and oh unique offense right to the spine
00:47:05tatum just saved izzy sorry it just feared soul
00:47:11that's not what zarya's intentions were are you sure about that tatum has just shown her true colors
00:47:19who's she sided with she's crazy like a fox vick that's what this is she's crazy she's cannot
00:47:26be crazy she's crazy like oh baby she could be part of the culling sit down style and izzy just pinned
00:47:34the women's north american champion here are your winners tatum paxley and izzy dame
00:47:51take a look at this a sight to behold for sure tatum paxley shoving izzy dame out of zarya's path
00:48:03zarya takes out soul ruka and as zarya tried to reconcile what just happened paxley takes care of
00:48:11business on the outside izzy dame with a sky high power bomb on the inside nothing will bond the new
00:48:19team faster than a big time win
00:48:22zal ruka looking up in heartbreak with the warm embrace of izzy and tatum and the culling

00:55:47north american title at the great american back yes izzy that is incredible it's about damn this
00:55:54time tatum i couldn't have done this without you it was dead
00:56:00come on we get jumped from behind last week and the only evidence is a black steel chair
00:56:13i know my new friends would never do something like that

00:56:21next week how come on let's do it

00:56:30if you guys are fine with that you can put the titles on the line next week
00:56:33okay
00:56:33look guys there is never a dull moment for our general manager
00:56:50and his opponent weight 200 at 42 pounds yoshiki
00:57:08cory are you ready for this some human demolition derby i hope they reinforce the ring for this one
00:57:15because these are two heavy hitters yoshiki itemura who was bold enough to step up in the face of
00:57:22omafemi and say i want a shot at the ruler unfortunately for yoshiki jasper troy believes he has
00:57:29unfinished business as well it's this one's too close to call look at the eyes on jasper troy you
00:57:35know what he's thinking this is the biggest meal i'm about to eat that's what he's thinking well
00:57:41you know we've heard from his coach on lfg obviously cory i want to get your thoughts how scary truly
00:57:47can troy i think the sky is the limit and beyond i mean to use a cliche jasper troy with terrifying
00:57:55athleticism cover for a man of his size and booker correct me if i'm wrong i don't think i'm out of
00:58:01line by saying jasper troy sort of reminds me of someone you're familiar with in your tna days
00:58:05the monster abyss yeah but sort of a modern era faster maybe even a little bit bigger look at this
00:58:11guy jasper troy he's six foot five 300 pounds and that's down from 330 that tells me this dude is
00:58:20serious another cover hook of the way get a kick out it's time to take a look at tonight's nxt recap
00:58:25presented by progressive you know it booker kind of touched on it earlier i mean just think
00:58:31about what jasper troy did to obafemi in the first meeting what he could do to obafemi
00:58:37at the great american bash i mean it's downright scary and booker are you still even questioning
00:58:43anamora's thought process after the last several damn right i'm wondering what the hell is he thinking
00:58:49getting in the ring with this monster jasper car and let me tell you right now jasper it's it's about
00:58:56business it's about putting food on the table which makes this dude very dangerous it's about
00:59:02honor for yoshiki inamora who wants to go back someday to japan with a story to be proud of with
00:59:07a list of accolades a mile long and trust me booker you know inamora has a sumo background yoshiki's no
00:59:14stranger to mixing it up with some heavy hitters heavy dudes like jasper troy look at this that is
00:59:20fighting spirit that's what this is about and it was inamora who went back to japan only to realize
00:59:26the things he missed as he right now is taking it to troy big elbow to the chest into the cover to get
00:59:33to the great american bash in the kick out he missed his tag team partner he missed this brand he missed
00:59:37the passion of the fans he wants to pay them back by becoming the nxt champion in atlanta listen yoshiki
00:59:45inamora able to settle in now strategize a little bit better after weathering the early storm of jasper
00:59:51troy and speaking of the nxt champion there you see obafemi looking on he will face one of these two men
00:59:59in atlanta at the great american bash and he's gonna have to be ready for two absolute powerhouses
01:00:06as inamora in control we saw several weeks ago obafemi just barely getting past jasper troy oba has yet to
01:00:14mix it up properly with yoshiki inamora and inamora right now nothing fancy side headlock just trying to
01:00:20wear down jasper troy and this is where that sumo power that background of inamora plays in he can wear
01:00:27you down he's incredibly powerful you ever seen a sumo train vic i have not it's unbelievable i had
01:00:33the honor of being invited to a dojo many years back in japan and you want to talk about some
01:00:37intense powerful training these guys i mean some of them are strong enough to flip cards and that's no
01:00:42exaggeration you right now and a board just hanging on for dear life right now trying to buy some time
01:00:48that's the way i see it i don't know what the hell you talking about gravy oh graves is this what you're
01:00:55just watching learn my friend
01:01:06oh no big sidewalk this is america this way to japan
01:01:13well it's all about the american dream and one of these men may be headed to the great american bash to
01:01:17achieve that dream becoming the nxt champion well they got monsters in japan too booker think about it
01:01:25godzilla giant bernard has inamora looking down in control who is headed to atlanta who's gonna face obafemi
01:01:40oh god all of it obafemi said he would relish a fight with someone who shares his warrior spirit
01:01:53and these two certainly fit the bill graves this is incredible physicality on both sides here comes
01:01:59troy big splash sending a message you ain't got to worry about this dude right this monster you ain't got to
01:02:07worry about him pulling the trigger oh yes man third time will it be the charm looking for a three
01:02:13and a kick out not quite yet inamora still with some fight left booker is troy the first man you've
01:02:20seen put doubt in the mind of obafemi because he stands you know six foot five he goes toe to toe with
01:02:27a man like obafemi over has to know that he's beatable he's beatable he's been there before and this man
01:02:34this man jasper troy could stop him at the gate jasper troy told the universe today he signed his
01:02:40contract into the cover another hook of the leg that he would make an impact and grave this man has
01:02:47not lied no doubt about it jasper troy called his shot and he's delivered everything just short of
01:02:53becoming nxt champion and as we've been talking about through the duration of this match troy pushed the
01:02:58ruler to his limit we thought on multiple occasions we were going to have a new kingpin in nxt named
01:03:04jasper troy and if you even go back to last week he dropped in amora he got back in the face of obafemi
01:03:10and said we are not done as now jasper troy maybe looking for an abdominal stretch of sorts into more
01:03:16doing a nice job of trying to counter round and round they go in a more finally breaks the hole and gets a
01:03:21little bit of separation great action right there for minimal just to keep his feet moving
01:03:28and listen i'm gonna be honest maybe i overestimated in amora because in amora is looking like he's in
01:03:32a world of trouble right now and he desperately needs a few moments to recompose himself i don't
01:03:37necessarily think you're wrong graves but i think that also just goes to the power that jasper troy
01:03:42possesses i agree with that but wait a minute wait a minute maybe i am wrong here comes in amora teeing
01:03:48off on the big man there is that warrior spirit one more shot but jasper troy rising up like someone
01:03:54out of a horror movie coming right back in and this is where that demolition derby starting to come out
01:04:00whoa big boss man slam into the cover and jasper troy was so close
01:04:10take another look at just how close around we go nearly put through the center of the ring you call
01:04:17it a boss man slam that would go in black hole either way almost the end of yoshiki inamora
01:04:24inamora get that on his feet right there but the big man's gonna follow up oh another splash didn't
01:04:30work out inamora with the knees up inamora now we go the sumo style strikes as you would say target
01:04:38has been acquired and unleashing fury is inamora
01:04:46little extra and inamora right now showing even even another page in his own table showing another
01:04:53layer if you will you gotta be kidding me we can't do it no way he just did big slam from inamora it's all
01:05:02about becoming the number one contender to the nxt championship round and round they go inamora
01:05:10again overpowering jasper troy waker you gotta start believing man i'm impressed i'm impressed with
01:05:16inamora right now he's going up top for that bomb he's going to try dropping out the big man we've
01:05:22seen this before in the past
01:05:24here's the winner and the new number one contender to the nxt championship yoshiki
01:05:41inamora is headed to the great american bash we weren't certain that inamora had what it took
01:05:54to knock off the powerhouse jasper troy well yoshiki inamora was all too eager to prove us
01:06:01all wrong massive splash from the top and yoshiki inamora has earned the right to step up and challenge
01:06:11the ruler because it is now official inamora is headed to atlanta to face that man
01:06:21over for the nxt championship it's going down saturday afternoon july the 12th at the great american
01:06:31bash javon evans just bounced jasper troy
01:06:44but it's all about the nxt championship at the great american bash
01:06:51and on the topic of atlanta ahead of her nxt women's title match at evolution we will hear
01:06:58from the number one contender herself jordan grace next on nxt well next week gold will be on the line

01:07:13calling nxt tag team championships on the line live next week right here on nxt
01:07:20and the former north american champion ricky saints certainly has his hands full as all ego ethan page
01:07:28continues to try to make saints life hell ricky saints battles the vanity project in a gauntlet match

01:07:54talent blessed by the gods will go one-on-one with charlie dempsey but if tavion heights is victorious

01:09:55but for the sake of complete honesty i have to be something that i'm honestly terrified of being
01:10:09and that's vulnerable
01:10:15because i've been thinking a lot lately asking myself
01:10:20am i actually good enough to be here
01:10:22do i really belong in the wwe
01:10:34and a lot of you know my journey you know that i didn't grow up saying that i was born to be a wwe
01:10:47superstar
01:10:54but i did everything i had to do in order to get here
01:11:00i became someone that they couldn't ignore
01:11:10so at evolution i'm gonna beat jcjane and remind myself of exactly who i am
01:11:16because i may not have been born for this
01:11:33i'm gonna beat jcjane and i'm gonna beat jcjane and i'm gonna beat jcjane and i'm gonna beat jcjane
01:11:42all right jordan are you done with this incredibly pitiful sob story of yours yet
01:11:49but i mean congratulations on making it the absolute highlight of your entire career
01:11:56and i know i know i'm fully aware that you can bench press more than me
01:12:05but you can't carry in fact you'll never carry this division the way i will
01:12:13but by all means continue flexing your muscles and hoping that one day a championship will just
01:12:20magically fall into your arms but i can promise you it won't be my
01:12:26nxt women's championship and it damn sure won't be at evolution
01:12:31because everyone wants to keep saying i'm the most beatable champion in history
01:12:37but unfortunately for all of you and all you idiots i'm at the top of my game
01:12:47yeah you can all keep crying about it keep crying about it while i keep winning
01:12:56and while i'm on this subject it reminds me
01:13:01you and blake munro you seem to be cut from the same cloth you think you can just walk up in here
01:13:08and everyone's gonna bow down at your feet but luckily for you fatal influence will always be here to
01:13:16remind you exactly where you stand quick reality check honey
01:13:23at evolution all right jc why don't you just do everyone here a favor and shut up
01:13:31you shocked the world when you won the nxt women's championship

01:13:45when i beat you at evolution i'm going to become the nxt women oh daisy jane heard enough jordan
01:13:55gray's looking to stand her ground uh yeah they're doing the right thing getting the hell out of dodge

01:14:19glamorous one she was attacked in the same way two weeks ago here on nxt oh yes
