Transcript
00:00Oh, yes, Santana was gone.
00:05Hey, y'all, step on nasty, they're rockin' apple, don't follow me here.
00:09The following contest is a tag team match, schedule 4-1-4, introducing first from the Bronx,
00:24New York, swing in at 235, Mike Santana.
00:35TNA wrestler Mike Santana, best in an NXT ring.
00:42This is a young man who has captured the attention and imagination of not only TNA,
00:47but the WWE Universe as well, with his sporadic performances here in NXT.
00:54Bring your best and I'll bring the beast.
00:56NXT on the CW is present.
00:58trophies display, scars on my chest.
01:00My heart rests when the war is over each day.
01:03I feel closer to the stars.
01:05How could I not keep going?
01:07We already came this far apart.
01:09My emotions know it's normal, but pain to not keep the cordial.
01:12So if you will love me.
01:13Say his name out, he appears.
01:17I believe in Joe Hendry.
01:21And his tag team partner, from Edinburgh, Scotland, he's 252 pounds of pure motivation.
01:37Joe Hendry.
01:40Braves in one breath, you talk about a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and
01:43Mike Santana, but no one, no one can question the heart of this man, Joe Hendry.
01:51The question truly is though, Corey, who can be the savior of TNA?
01:58Well, you can take your pick, could it be Joe Hendry?
02:00Sure, could it be Mike Santana?
02:02Possibly, but do you know who's gonna save nobody?
02:05Trick Williams, the TNA champion, because Trick has no intention of giving up that goal.
02:12That's right, that's, hey, y'all didn't look at the,
02:15let's check out the look of Joe Hendry.
02:16Seems like he's lost that confidence since he doesn't have that,
02:19that championship around his way.
02:21This is a different guy, this is a different guy.
02:23Well, it will be Joe Hendry, Mike Santana, and Trick Williams, July 20th, at Slammiversary.
02:32Triple Threat Match, for the TNA World title.
02:36I do like Mike Santana.
02:46And their opponents, accompanied by Wesley, Tyson Duvall, Tyreek Igway, The High Rise.
02:55But that's on July 20th tonight, Santana and Hendry have Tyson and Tyreek.
03:02WWE Late Night, featuring Tony Hinchcliffe, takes place at the Bergen Performing Arts Center
03:08in Inglewood, New Jersey, Saturday, August 2nd, at 11 PM Eastern, as a part of Summer Slam weekend.
03:15Tickets for this closed door, non-televised event are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
03:20Trust us, you won't want to miss it.
03:23Booker, you're always talking about people minding their own, you know.
03:26Yes!
03:27So then, why has High Rise decided to stick their nose in TNA position?
03:32You know why?
03:32You know why?
03:33Because they're looking for a piece of the action, right?
03:36That's what it's all about.
03:37You want some, you get some.
03:39Sometimes, you gotta take some.
03:41Oh, yes!
03:42Well, it was Wesley who decided to try and help Trick Williams.
03:45What up, Wes?
03:46What up, Wes?
03:47Wesley, what up, Wes?
03:47He ignored you, by the way.
03:49You ain't got no friends.
03:49That's what you would tell me right now.
03:51He focused, he focused right now.
03:54Well, starting things off here is Joe Hendry.
03:56And it was this past Thursday, Mike Santana vowed to bring the world title back to TNA.
04:01Came to the aid of Joe Hendry last week.
04:03But again, partners tonight on July 20th, this anniversary,
04:06they'll fight for the TNA Championship.
04:08Which means tonight is a partnership of necessity and nothing more.
04:12I don't think Hendry really cares about Mike Santana or vice versa.
04:16Do you know who does care about one another?
04:18High Rise, including Wes Lee on the outside.
04:20And now, as we learn, Trick Williams cares about High Rise and Wes Lee.
04:25Preach, preach, man.
04:25TNA is now Mike Santana in the match.
04:28And Booker, what would a win do for High Rise?
04:31I mean, come on, Joe Hendry, he's a popular guy.
04:33Mike Santana, he's a very, very popular guy.
04:36You beat these guys, you put yourself right in that picture, man.
04:39Look at Mike, listen, he's not your typical NIL guy.
04:43He will roll you, man, if he catch you hanging out at the rock table.
04:46And look at the strength of Joe Hendry.
04:50That's a lot of man to throw that far.
04:54TNA standing tall at this moment.
05:00Right now, Joe Hendry, Mike Santana in control of Tyson and Tyreek, and I'm looking out here because I'm getting yelled at.
05:08Right now, Wesley's yelling at me for some reason, I didn't even do anything, Mike Santana in control.
05:25And Corey, you were the one who at Battleground brought up what would happen if Joe Hendry lost the TNA World title to somebody in the WWE.
05:32Do you believe that Mike Santana looks at Joe differently since he did lose that title to Trickwood?
05:39I'm not sure there's plenty of blame to go around the TNA locker room for Joe Hendry.
05:43The fact is, Hendry is still one of the guys trying to get it back.
05:47Hendry's trying to do the work on behalf of TNA.
05:49Santana feels that he can do it better.
05:51Tonight, they have to do it together.
05:53Man, nice job.
05:54Look here, look here.
05:55If I'm in that TNA locker room- Cover, cover, hook your leg.
05:57In that TNA locker room, I said, Joe Hendry, you dropped the ball.
06:00You had everybody in TNA down.
06:02That's what I'm seeing.
06:03That's just me.
06:04So, Booker, you can see that Santana and Hendry are two different people, but
06:07they have that one thing in power.
06:08They wanna bring that TNA world title back to TNA.
06:12You have to believe that sportsmanship is certainly gonna be tossed off the window
06:15into the cover hook of the leg and a near fall.
06:17Two men, though, with the same goal to win that title and bring it back.
06:22Two people sharing one common cause, but it's a little bit different in this aspect.
06:26That Santana, Mikey Santana, he wants to get that championship because he hasn't had it on his waist.
06:31It's a little bit something different right there.
06:33It's not personal, it's business, man.
06:35Well, Joe Hendry right now with a standing.
06:39What's Wesley doing?
06:40I think he just grabbed the official's leg.
06:42No, he tripped.
06:44And didn't see what's going on.
06:46I don't even think Mike Santana just saw Joe Hendry get dropped by Tyson and Tyreek.
06:51Well, Wesley certainly has been around the block a time or two.
06:56Tag was made, Tyson making his way back into the ring.
06:59I've been very impressed by both Tyson and Tyreek to this point.
07:04Two gentlemen who are perpetually on the cusp of great things.
07:08Hooking the leg into the cover.
07:09Another kick out in Tyson and Tyreek have also been doing their thing.
07:12Wednesdays on Tubi, on WWE Evolve.
07:15Massive foot right to the chest and now just right on top of Joe Hendry.
07:20And this is certainly not the welcoming this week back to NXT for Joe Hendry.
07:24He thought he was going to have.
07:26Tag team action here tonight still to come.
07:29Tag team titles will be defended here on NXT.
07:33But Tyson and Tyreek are certainly taking it to Joe Hendry and
07:37Mike Santana here tonight.
07:38Wow, look at the power of Tyson, my goodness.
07:45And Tyson into the cover.
07:48And another near fall.
07:50And I will say, Mike Santana went over, reached out, was trying to get the tag.
07:54And I do believe he's trying to show some sort of unity here tonight.
07:59I agree with you to an extent.
08:01I think when it ultimately comes down to it, Santana will let Kendry take the hit for
08:06it.
08:07A big DDT and now Joe crawling over desperately needs to make the tag.
08:12And Mike Santana at this juncture, not gonna get back into the matchup.
08:17And whoa, leaving his feet.
08:19Tyson, DuPont, cover, count by the official.
08:23Come on, Rel.
08:25What was wrong with the count?
08:26I mean, he was late on the count.
08:27Come on, you didn't see that?
08:29Now you have an issue with what's going on.
08:32But you didn't have a problem when Wesley was grabbing his foot untied his shoe.
08:35I didn't see that.
08:35The referee did have a shoe untied.
08:37I saw that.
08:37I did see that.
08:38Come on now boys, you got what to do, everybody.
08:42Hendry in a lot of trouble.
08:44NXT Universe trying to rally the former TNA World Champion.
08:49Joe Hendry trying to fight back.
08:51Which one of these two teams will stand tall here tonight on NXT?
08:56Get him, get him.
09:01Joe Hendry trying to get right back into this matchup.
09:03Goes up, goes around, another near fall.
09:05Hendry, Mike Santana from TNA here tonight.
09:08Nice take down into the cover.
09:10Another near fall.
09:11Going up against Tyson, Tyreek.
09:13Man.
09:15That was a deep cleaner cover.
09:18And Hendry this time able to kick out.
09:20This all because Wesley said he was gonna take care of Joe Hendry.
09:25Trick Williams is watching close.
09:28And I wonder if Trick is watching close right now as Tyson and Tyreek again,
09:33tagging it to Joe Hendry.
09:34A lot of man crash.
09:36And another cheap shot.
09:38Wesley, you're doing a hell of a job.
09:39Covered kick out.
09:41Hell of a job.
09:41Come on.
09:42You focus on the match.
09:43Look at this.
09:45Tyreek Higwe now, front facelock applied and look who is here.
09:51The Dungeon Dolls, Natalya and Maxine Dupree.
09:55Let's not forget, still to come.
09:57Here tonight, our general manager, Ava, will sit down and have a WWE evolution.
10:05This guillotine is cinched in deep.
10:08It's okay.
10:08It's in trouble man.
10:10Joe Hendry is starting to fade.
10:11Referee's gotta stop.
10:12Referee's in great position.
10:14Do your job, ref.
10:15Igwe squeezing the life out of Joe Hendry.
10:18Look at Mike Santana trying to reach in.
10:20Joe Hendry like he does time and time again, making believers out of the universe.
10:27Big suplex and it's almost like Graves, he's taking some deep breaths.
10:31Because I don't know how he was breathing.
10:33I agree wholeheartedly, Tyreek Higwe had that front facelock guillotine cinched in
10:38for quite some time and here comes Santana.
10:41Tag was made, Santana and Ali Higwe.
10:43People love this guy right here.
10:45That's for good reason why, everything he represents, what he fights for.
10:48His family at home, he wants to become champion, he wants to be the savior of TNA.
10:52He's looking to rally here right now, this matchup for his team.
10:55Come around.
10:56Baby.
10:58Dyson DuPont driven face first, here goes Higwe.
11:01He did some.
11:03Santana fired up.
11:06Mike Santana looking to fly.
11:10Running on adrenaline and not much more, Santana hanging tough in this fight.
11:19And he's doing this not just for himself, not just to show those from TNA, but
11:22also as now he gets him to cover, hooks a leg and breaking things up.
11:26It's also letting Tripp Williams know what he's in store.
11:29What Joe Hendry, what he's in store, come July 20th at Slammiversary for
11:33the TNA World Title.
11:35Charging in, no one home.
11:36And he crashing to the floor.
11:38What the hell?
11:42Joe Hendry!
11:42Get ready Graves, no.
11:49We're gonna spin the block, but DuPont had him scouted.
11:52Beautiful.
11:53Countered one time, swing and a miss, turn right back around.
11:57A little extra, and now Mike Santana.
12:01He's filling it.
12:03Say that again.
12:05Santana, looking to- Wesley.
12:07Hey, that's Tripp Williams.
12:11That's TNA champion Tripp Williams.
12:16Just wiped out Joe Hendry.
12:19You all right, Graves?
12:20Almost kind of picking the eye.
12:21Face first goes Tyson DuPont.
12:23Spinning the block.
12:24Right into the face of Tripp Williams, big victory.
12:30Here are the winners.
12:32And Tripp with a Tripp kick, wiping out Santana.
12:36And Joe Hendry, who just takes the steal seconds ago,
12:39getting back into the fight.
12:41But there comes Wes Lee, and of course it's Wes Lee who's been making business
12:45decisions, collaborating with Tripp Williams.
12:48Yeah, baby, this is about NXT right here, this is about NXT, show up, dog.
12:57This is about NXT book just as much as it's about Tripp and A.
13:04Yes.
13:05Tripp's shot as Williams drops the competition.
13:09It's Saturday afternoon in Atlanta.
13:17And we'll go to paper with the official TNA Slammiversary Championship contract signing.
