00:00
Here we go, you're ready.
00:02
Today is the day.
00:04
Go out there and become the NXT champion, by any means necessary.
00:10
Yes, I will become champion.
00:12
But Briggs, I do it with honor.
00:16
All right.
00:25
Well, here we go.
00:26
Human Demolition Derby for the NXT Championship.
00:38
And we just heard from these two.
00:41
And you heard, Graves, what Inomora said.
00:43
This is about honor, doing it the right way.
00:47
You yourself have competed for the NXT Championship.
00:50
Would you be tossing honor out the window here at the Great American Bash to put
00:54
that gold around your waist?
00:55
Personally speaking, absolutely I would, but this isn't about me.
00:58
This is about Yoshiki Inomora, a man who returned from Japan to make life better
01:03
for his friend and partner Josh Briggs.
01:06
Briggs couldn't capture the TNA Championship in the opportunity that Inomora earned.
01:11
But it only gets bigger.
01:13
You wanna think big in NXT?
01:14
It doesn't get any bigger than the NXT Championship and The Ruler.
01:18
You guys have to play.
01:20
Do a team.
01:22
Say if you are like.
01:23
Come on.
01:24
Go, too.
01:25
The last time the NXT Championship was defended here in Atlanta.
01:51
2018, Andrade defeated Johnny Gargano.
01:56
We talked about this stat earlier, it still stands true.
02:00
An NXT Championship of any sort has never changed hands here in Atlanta.
02:06
And when you look at the challenger, he seems focused.
02:09
Briggs seems calm, cool, and collected.
02:11
But there is the ruler who is always one thing, Booker, dominant.
02:16
He's on the one path, man.
02:18
That man don't bread, don't want it tonight, all he wants is eat.
02:25
And in the bar, what, about 300 pounds of beef?
02:28
We should eat tonight, dawg.
02:32
Mike Rove is standing by.
02:37
What are you so angry for?
02:39
The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Championship.
02:52
Introducing the challenger from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 242 pounds,
03:01
310 pounds, Yoshiki Inomura.
03:12
And his opponents, from Lagos, Nigeria, weighing in at 310 pounds.
03:21
He is the NXT Champion, Oba Bami.
03:37
Weight of opportunity is on the shoulders of Inomura.
03:41
Chalenger looking to become the second Japanese born superstar to win the NXT title.
03:58
The other graves is someone you know very well, Shinsuke Nakamura.
04:04
No doubt Nakamura gonna keep an eye on this one.
04:06
And think of the legendary superstars who sent well wishes to Inomura before this match.
04:11
Talking about Marafuji, talking about the great Muda, Kaiji Muda, Io Sky.
04:16
All wishing Inomura the best of luck in this contest.
04:20
And trust me, as talented as Inomura is, he's gonna need a little bit of luck tonight.
04:23
Well, on to that point, Corey.
04:25
Does that add extra pressure, do you think, to Yoshiki Inomura?
04:28
Knowing that all those greats, all those legends, are on his side, watching close to him?
04:33
Perhaps, but did you see how lightning quick Inomura got back to his feet after
04:39
being run over by the ruler?
04:42
Whatever it takes to fuel you to become great.
04:44
Sometimes it's pressure, sometimes it's fear.
04:47
Sometimes there's a litany of different reasons that a superstar can become great.
04:51
I'm not sure what's driving Inomura tonight, but no doubt he's looking to do it with honor.
04:55
Well, Booker, to Graves' point, how has Inomura's past paved the way for
05:00
this championship moment, maybe a golden moment in his career?
05:04
Not just Inomura's past, but the path of the Japanese wrestlers.
05:08
I mean, you guys are talking about honor, but they said Japan death before dishonor.
05:12
It's the way of the samurai song.
05:14
You can expect Inomura to do anything necessary to win this match tonight.
05:18
Trust me on that.
05:19
And he could go that far, but only with honor.
05:22
Is Inomura right now a test of strength there between he and Ova?
05:25
Nothing of an unfamiliar feeling for Yoshiki Inomura.
05:28
Oh, baby.
05:29
Overpowered by really anybody in NXT.
05:30
There's that quickness one more time on display and
05:32
right back into the center of the ring, like two mastodons.
05:35
Ova got hung up for a second, and he sits right back down on the challenger.
05:40
And let's remember, Inomura returned at Battleground for his brother Josh Briggs,
05:43
who is here on the outside for the fans, for the passion of NXT.
05:47
And Graves, he's gonna need the support of everyone that's here today.
05:51
To overcome his greatest test he's ever faced in NXT, Obafemi.
05:57
No doubt about it.
05:57
But again, if anybody can thrive under this sort of, shoulders down.
06:01
If anybody can thrive under this sort of pressure and emerge victorious,
06:05
they absolutely deserve to be the NXT champion.
06:09
Yoshiki Inomura could be the NXT champion for a long time after tonight.
06:13
Who knows?
06:13
Time will tell.
06:14
Booker, Yoshiki Inomura return thinking bigger.
06:18
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
06:19
You have to like that mentality.
06:20
I like everything about this.
06:23
Whoa!
06:24
Wow!
06:25
Right now, he's in there with a true beast here at NXT.
06:28
He has fought every- Wait a minute, Book.
06:31
But look at Inomura, just rise right back up.
06:35
Japanese strong style, baby, here we go.
06:38
Wait a minute, it's not a sumo contest.
06:40
It's about to be.
06:41
This is America.
06:42
Hell yeah!
06:43
Look at that!
06:44
Inomura, who just tossed Obafemi.
06:47
Inomura leaning into his sumo background, overpowering Obafemi.
06:51
Here comes the challenger.
06:53
Boom.
06:54
Oba, right now center of the ring, just got trucked.
06:57
A lot of weight coming right there.
06:58
Cover, cover, cover.
06:59
And a kick out at one.
07:01
Like a cannonball right to the chest of the champion.
07:03
That elbow connected right into the sternum for Inomura, who is fired up here in Booker.
07:09
How will Inomura respond to this premium live event environment?
07:13
I mean, being under these bright lights, Inomura knows he's got one shot perhaps at this championship.
07:19
He needs to go out there, he needs to cash in.
07:21
He needs to cash in big time with a big move like, whoa.
07:25
Oba rolled to the outside, Yoshiki realizing it, and-
07:29
Give Obafemi a lot of credit right there.
07:33
This kid has gotten a lot smarter over this last 365 days, man.
07:38
I agree with your book.
07:39
Oba just laid a trap and Inomura stepped right into it.
07:43
Big time.
07:43
When was the last time, Graves, we saw Inomura go down with one chop?
07:47
There aren't too many men walking God's green earth who possess that type of power,
07:52
but Obafemi absolutely is one of them.
07:54
Able to counter for a moment, get a little bit of separation.
07:57
Oba just went down, yeah, he's grabbing that right knee.
08:00
Man.
08:02
And again, that's what we're talking about, Booker.
08:05
You're gonna see a different Inomura here tonight, trust me, and I'm not surprised.
08:10
It's that passion coming out in Inomura.
08:13
He wants to be champion so bad, for the man on the outside, for the butts in the seats,
08:17
for those watching at home, and now showcasing his own will, showcasing his own power,
08:22
showcasing his own strength, that's a big slam.
08:25
That was impressive.
08:26
Cover, is it gonna be enough in this juncture of the matchup?
08:29
It is not, as this title match continues.
08:32
I just looked up for my monitor, as we take a look at this.
08:35
Inomura launching himself like a missile off of the apron, taking down Oba.
08:40
And this is a straight up terrifying display of power from the challenger.
08:45
And back to the action of the ring, Yoshiki has a handprint on his chest from Obafemi.
08:51
Femi, whoa.
08:51
Just going right down to the mat, high impact offense with his championship on the line,
08:56
hook of the leg on the challenger.
08:58
And Yoshiki rolling that left shoulder off the mat.
09:00
Today, by the way, guys, 186th day as champion for Obafemi.
09:05
I'll tell you something, Obafemi is well past his years as far as his advancement in this
09:11
business with the time he's put in.
09:12
This kid, he's unbelievable.
09:15
He's definitely a star.
09:16
And we were interrupted by the Dark State moments ago on the topic of titles.
09:20
Booker, how excited are you for tonight?
09:21
Goldberg's last match.
09:23
Goldberg is what all started right here at the Georgia Dog, 1998, his first championship.
09:29
Can he go out there and do it just one last time?
09:31
They say he may not be as great as he once was, but he can be great once.
09:36
Yes, man.
09:37
It was on that July night he defeated Hollywood Hulk Hogan in Atlanta.
09:40
Will history repeat itself?
09:41
Saturday night's main event live nationwide, 8 PM.
09:45
Streaming right here on Peacock and nationwide on NBC.
09:49
But the NXT championship hanging in the balance and it's the champion who is in control.
09:54
And while- Look at the power.
09:57
Oba right now into the cover and another kick out.
10:03
And I mean, Graves, you take a look at Obafemi.
10:05
There were a lot of questions by some coming into this matchup.
10:08
If there was chips in the armor of sorts of the champion.
10:12
So far, so good from the ruler.
10:14
Take a look at the power of Oba hanging the challenger across the top rope.
10:19
Listen, Obafemi has been a fighting champion.
10:23
There is no reason to doubt the ruler and his dominance.
10:26
It's not like Oba is making competitors jump through hoops.
10:29
He's not running away.
10:30
He stands there and he defends his title.
10:33
And speaking of standing there, standing in the center of the ring.
10:36
Another gut buster, another cover and another kick out.
10:40
Graves, are you starting to sense that maybe Obafemi looking at the stomach,
10:44
the ribs is trying to take away the impact of that Yoshiki splash from the top?
10:48
Listen, we've learned to Booker's point earlier that Oba continues to evolve as a competitor.
10:52
He's become more intellectual in his strategy.
10:55
It's not just raw force anymore.
10:57
It's a game plan.
10:58
That very well may be what the champions are gonna do.
11:00
Obafemi is very methodical in his approach here tonight.
11:05
And he needs that because Annamar perhaps most dangerous he's been since
11:09
he's joined NXT tonight.
11:11
Trust me on that.
11:12
How do you feel?
11:14
Annamar trying to shift the power.
11:16
Certainly is, and whoa, right back in, right back around, shifting his weight.
11:20
Counter, cover, title on the line, and a near fall.
11:23
And now it's Yoshiki who's on top, looking for the crucifix.
11:26
Shoulder down one more time, almost able to put the title around his waist.
11:31
He's doing it with pride, passion, uh-oh, spine buster.
11:35
Champion rolls right through and another near fall.
11:38
That's good, fans, but it's this man right here, Obafemi.
11:41
He has a playbook now, man.
11:42
This is not the same guy you dealt with, like I said, a year ago, trust me.
11:47
And you saw Annamar able to shift the power for a moment,
11:51
then utilize his weight to take down the champion.
11:53
But just this quickly, Obafemi is back on top, nearly put an end to this matchup.
11:59
Beautiful spine buster.
12:01
NXT Championship on the line here at the Great American Bash.
12:06
And this certainly has been a test of power between the two.
12:09
And again, right back to the body goes Obafemi.
12:12
Buckling the knees of Yoshiki Inomura, trying to hoist up Yoshiki who counters.
12:17
Something had to give.
12:26
Wow.
12:27
And it's Inomura in control.
12:31
Yoshiki could be closing in on dropping the ruler and there's that offense.
12:38
The sumo style strikes to the chest, muscling Inomura.
12:41
My God, muscling Oba all the way to the corner.
12:44
One, two, three.
12:44
And right now the challenger teeing off like Nick Karnaski on a golf course.
12:49
Taking it to the street right now, bang.
12:51
Yoshiki peppering Oba.
12:56
Look at this.
12:57
We haven't gotten to see the striking ability of Inomura.
13:00
Too heavily.
13:01
Rolling elbow rocks the jaw of the champ.
13:03
Oba just got dropped.
13:05
Briggs is fired up.
13:06
Trying to fire up Inomura.
13:08
I wonder if Oba is truly prepared for what's going on right now, guys.
13:13
I wonder.
13:14
Oh, baby.
13:15
Briggs.
13:16
That could be, wow.
13:17
And Oba Femi, give credit, able to roll off.
13:21
Booker, it's been a while since I've seen you come out of your seat,
13:25
seeing something like this.
13:27
That is outrageous power from the challenger who nearly knocked off the ruler.
13:33
I don't know if Oba is truly prepared for this right here, guys.
13:40
This is different.
13:41
Yoshiki going to the top.
13:43
Looking to drop that ball.
13:44
We've seen this in the past.
13:46
Yoshiki, he had to roll right through.
13:48
Oba had it scouted.
13:49
Quickly go back to his feet.
13:50
Look at a pound.
13:51
Wow.
13:51
Dallas Herman almost bit it.
13:53
No, I spoke too soon.
13:57
Brushing impact in the corner.
13:59
The officials down.
14:00
Oba looking for the end.
14:02
And hey, Briggs.
14:03
Briggs, what the hell?
14:05
Briggs just hit Oba Femi with the NXT Championship.
14:08
And I don't think Yoshiki Enemora realizes it.
14:12
But the advantage now is for the challenger.
14:16
Oba is down.
14:18
Challenger to the top.
14:19
This is all about honor for the challenger.
14:34
Yoshiki though got hoisted.
14:35
Enemora able to slip down the back.
14:37
Coming right back in, Ducks wants flying back through the air.
14:40
Dropping the champion.
14:42
He doesn't wanna take a shortcut.
14:44
He wants to do this the right way.
14:47
And once again, Yoshiki Enemora climbing to the top.
14:52
Got his target acquired, Yoshiki.
14:56
Got all of it.
14:57
Cover.
14:58
One, two, three.
15:00
There's no referee.
15:02
The official still down.
15:03
Eight, nine, ten, ten.
15:07
We should have a new champion.
15:09
What the hell is Briggs doing now?
15:12
Capitalize.
15:13
Briggs is screaming, capitalize.
15:17
I think Briggs is trying to hand him his chain.
15:19
Briggs is gonna get his partner disqualified.
15:21
Do something.
15:22
No.
15:23
The official rolled back in.
15:25
Yoshiki said no.
15:27
Yoshiki though just got dropped, chokeslam champion into the cover to retain.
15:34
No.
15:36
That fighting spirit of Yoshiki still thriving here at the Great American Bash.
15:42
Briggs is in disbelief.
15:43
So is Oma Femi.
15:46
The NXT championship is on the line, sold out here in Atlanta.
15:50
Center stage, Great American Bash, who will walk out NXT champion.
15:56
Enemora could be champion right now if he would have taken advantage of the situation.
16:01
He's not gonna take advantage though.
16:03
We've heard what he has said, not just today, but earlier this week.
16:07
He's going to do it the right way.
16:09
It's about honor for Yoshiki Enemora.
16:11
Right now these gladiators unloading the heavy artillery in the middle of the ring.
16:17
No excuses.
16:18
One, two, three.
16:19
Trying to chop that three down, man.
16:21
One, two, three.
16:26
Oba answering back.
16:27
One, two, three.
16:29
Could have been looking for that fall from Grace.
16:31
Countered though.
16:32
Enemora now.
16:33
One, two, three.
16:35
Hoist it up.
16:36
Look at the power.
16:38
And drop it.
16:39
Wow.
16:40
Center of the ring.
16:41
Sit down style for the title.
16:43
My.
16:46
Briggs thought it was over.
16:48
Last minute.
16:50
Last minute.
16:50
Last second.
16:51
Split second, nanosecond, but Briggs is screaming, go, go, go.
16:56
Briggs, get off the apron.
16:59
Briggs, ten, one other from behind.
17:01
Yoshiki for the championship.
17:03
Not again.
17:04
Oba just able to kick out the last second.
17:06
Right back in, fall from Grace.
17:09
My God.
17:11
One, two, three.
17:12
Oba overcomes Enemora.
17:17
Here is your winner and still, the NXT Champion, Oba Finney.
17:30
What a fight.
17:41
Here we see the closing moments.
17:42
Enemora able to power up 310 pounds of Oba Finney.
17:48
Delivering a sit-out powerbomb, but the ruler refused to relent.
17:54
Incidental contact with Briggs, shoulders down.
17:57
Oba survives yet again.
18:00
And Enemora provides the slightest of openings.
18:04
And got a powerbomb for his troubles.
18:08
Fall from Grace.
18:09
And still.
18:13
What a fight from the challenger.
18:16
He tried to do it with honor.
18:21
What's going through the mind of that man, Josh Briggs?
18:24
But what we do know, the reign of the ruler, Oba Finney,
18:30
as our champion continues here at NXT.
