00:01:22The goddesses of hostility are here in center stage.
00:01:25Big weekend for our women's champion in the middle, J.C. Jane.
00:01:29That's because she meets Jordan Grace tomorrow.
00:01:32As for tonight, she meets the juggernaut along with her tag team partner, Blake Monroe.
00:01:39Monroe, it's our main event at the Great American Bash.
00:01:44Four years ago, at the American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, a summer tradition unlike any other was born.
00:02:10Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great American Bash.
00:02:15A historic event created by the American dream.
00:02:19The patriotic celebration from the heart of summer continue to unleash a spectacle world of celebration.
00:02:27The power is on, and the summer tradition has arrived.
00:02:30And tonight, in Atlanta, Georgia, the fireworks will be set off once again.
00:02:36Watch me. I'ma do my thing. I'ma do my thing. I'ma do my thing. Yeah.
00:02:40Watch me do my thing. I'ma fight you do my thing.
00:02:42Ricky, I am a fighting champion, and you can earn a shot at this championship if you survive the Vanity Project gauntlet.
00:02:51When I beat the gauntlet, I get to dictate the stipulation for my rematch.
00:02:57I love that.
00:02:58Ethan, the ball's in my court. Anything goes or falls, counts, anywhere match.
00:03:06Jordan, you and Blake Monroe think you can just walk up in here and everyone's gonna bow down at your feet.
00:03:13Oh, my God! Wow! NXT just became glamorous!
00:03:20Fatal Influence will always be here to remind you exactly where you stand.
00:03:26Goal!
00:03:28Certainly a numbers advantage now for Fatal Influence.
00:03:32She's here!

00:03:35You want something done about Jordan and Blake.
00:03:38So, it will be Fallon Henley and J.C. Jane against the team of Jordan Grace and Blake Monroe.
00:03:46Ova, you wanted to see if I was, wasn't.
00:03:50Ida Mora has earned the right to challenge the ruler.
00:03:54The truth will prevail. You are not worthy enough to take this title from me.
00:03:59I will become the new NXT champion!
00:04:06Welcome back to NXT's Midsummer Classic.
00:04:11Welcome to the Great American Bash.
00:04:23And now, WWE presents Great American Bash.

00:05:20Cup test is scheduled for 1-4.
00:05:23It's a jersey first from Greensboro, North Carolina,
00:05:25weight 180 pounds, Javon Evans.
00:05:32Nick Joseph alongside Mr. Great American Bash,
00:05:34Booker T and Corey Graves.
00:05:37You know, we got late arrivals here tonight
00:05:39due to our downtown traffic here in Atlanta.
00:05:42We are sold out, but Corey, are we about to see
00:05:44a new layer to the young OG?
00:05:46We're about to find out exactly what Javon Evans
00:05:49is truly made up.
00:05:51We know he has mastered the aerial game,
00:05:53but does Javon have what it takes
00:05:55to stand toe-to-toe with a bona fide monster?
00:06:01You can see there's already a target on the body
00:06:03of Javon Evans.
00:06:19And in the woman from Huffman, Texas, weighing in at 320 pounds,
00:06:37he is the winner of LFG Season 1, Jasper Troy!
00:06:44I know Booker's opinion, Corey, how big is this for Jasper Troy?
00:06:49Well, listen, when you're an upstart in NXT as Jasper Troy is,
00:06:53fresh off winning LFG, the opportunity to knock off one of the most wildly
00:06:57popular superstars in the business, like Javon Evans,
00:07:00the importance of this matchup for Troy can't be overstated.
00:07:04And Booker, you see Javon Evans, his ribs are heavily changed.
00:07:07He better be ready, he better be ready, because Jasper Troy,
00:07:11that's the real deal, that M-O-U-N, S-T-E-R, that monster man!
00:07:17Well, look, Javon Evans out here fighting for R-E-S-P-C-T,
00:07:21but what I want to ask you about is how is that rib injury going to hinder him
00:07:25in this match?
00:07:25No, the rib is the hardest thing to heal, man,
00:07:27especially with the carlets in between.
00:07:29And right now, that big man, that monster,
00:07:32ready to take the pain and punishment out of this young man.
00:07:35You can say that again.
00:07:37Interesting clash of styles, we've got the smash-mouth style of Jasper
00:07:40Troy versus the aerial artistry of Javon Evans.
00:07:43I've got to question this decision by Evans to try to stand toe-to-toe
00:07:46with a much larger Jasper Troy.
00:07:48You know, as you look bigger picture here in NXT, Booker,
00:07:51in your opinion, should the winner of this be in the conversation
00:07:53for the NXT Championship after tonight?
00:07:56Oh, that's a good question.
00:07:58Javon Evans has had some major, major opportunities,
00:08:02and he's come so close to cashing in.
00:08:04The kid definitely needs to be in the conversation,
00:08:07but this big man, this big man, Jasper Troy,
00:08:10he just needs to go out there and just keep wrecking the competition,
00:08:14night in, night out.
00:08:15He'll find himself with the championship, trust me.
00:08:18And a moreover's overfemi for the NXT title later tonight,
00:08:20but you know, he's not here, Graves,
00:08:22but you certainly can feel the spirit of the American dream, Dusty Rhodes.
00:08:26No doubt the son of a plumber,
00:08:28smiling down on the great American bash, Dusty's great creation.
00:08:32All these years later,
00:08:33Dusty's influence felt in every aspect of the game.
00:08:37And for Javon Evans, he is defending himself tonight.
00:08:40Springboard, and just got caught.
00:08:43Just got manhandled, and Jasper Troy looking to punish Evans,
00:08:47who's able to escape for a moment.
00:08:49Nice drop kick.
00:08:50Wow.
00:08:51But again, it's Evans who's defending himself.
00:08:53He has been ambushed by Troy multiple times.
00:08:56Troy said Tuesday he was done with Evans, but Evans showed he is not done with Jasper.
00:09:01Troll.
00:09:02Oh!
00:09:03Ah!
00:09:04Too much power.
00:09:06Too much power from the big man, Jasper Troy.
00:09:096'5", 300 pounds.
00:09:10Oh, yes!
00:09:11Evans doing his best to fight out of the predicament,
00:09:14slipping into the sleeper hole from behind.
00:09:16Great counter by Javon, trying to wear down Jasper Troy's center of the ring,
00:09:21and that was clever there by the young OG.
00:09:23But did you see that, Corey?
00:09:24He immediately grabbed his rib cage.
00:09:27Everything right now is hurting the body of Javon.
00:09:29No doubt about it, when you suffer damage to your-
00:09:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:09:32That's not gonna do Evans any favors.
00:09:35Both superstars crashing to the outside.
00:09:41Trying to get a look at our right, but look at the eyes of Javon Evans, and Evans.
00:09:44Oh, man.
00:09:45Man, right there on the steel part of the ring right there.
00:09:50That's the hardest part.
00:09:52See the agony etched on the face of Evans.
00:09:54Hooker, what does that feel like hitting that corner where the steel meets wood?
00:09:58That right there can end many, many of matches right now.
00:10:02Definitely Jasper Troy gonna use the team's advantage.
00:10:05Graves, you talked about this earlier, and as this matchup has really begun,
00:10:09can Evans' high-flying style overcome that monster mentality of Jasper Troy?
00:10:14So far, it's done a pretty good job.
00:10:16I don't know if Evans got all that kick, but-
00:10:18Oh, no!
00:10:19But Jasper Troy just got all of Javon Evans.
00:10:22Oh, my God!
00:10:23Did you see his body just flop?
00:10:24Oh, my God!
00:10:25Wow!
00:10:26That was unreal.
00:10:31I told you, he's a monster, baby.
00:10:34Javon Evans' body was absolutely mangled upon impact on the outside.
00:10:40It's about to get worse.
00:10:41Let me tell you something.
00:10:42If you come up like Jasper Troy, let me tell you-
00:10:45Oh, the ribs!
00:10:46I've been in that position.
00:10:47When you looking for a meal, when you hungry, it's time to eat, that's what I'm talking about.
00:10:53That's Jasper Troy, man!
00:10:54I think the scariest thing about Jasper Troy is this is catharsis for Troy.
00:10:58He's letting out all the rage, all the anger he keeps pent up inside on the broken body of Javon Evans.
00:11:05We've seen against the ropes, we've seen against the side of the ring, we've seen against the steel guardrail here to our right.
00:11:11It's like human pinball right now for Jasper Troy.
00:11:14And now what's on his mind?
00:11:16Yeah, I'll tell you exactly what's on Jasper's mind.
00:11:18He wants to end Javon Evans once and for all.
00:11:21Oh, baby!
00:11:22Every time we see that million-dollar smile of Javon Evans, Jasper Troy gets sick to his stomach!
00:11:28Oh!
00:11:29My God, what impact!
00:11:31This matchup right now, Jasper Troy looks to be at home.
00:11:35He's looking around.
00:11:36How can he inflict more damage?
00:11:38How can he inflict more?
00:11:39Bang!
00:11:40Backslash!
00:11:41Just keep crushing the opposition.
00:11:44That's what this man is all about.
00:11:46Walker, why is Troy the way he is?
00:11:48You know him better than us.
00:11:49Look here, man.
00:11:50When you come up out the foot, when you looking for a meal late at night,
00:11:55and you aren't getting up to Jack Mack, staring at the wall of silence,
00:11:59that's what you turn into, man.
00:12:01Now just punishing again Javon Evans.
00:12:04Look at the face of Evans.
00:12:06Just ripping away, trying to break the bat.
00:12:09Jasper Troy, who won MFG Season 1, made his debut May 27, Season 2 underway.
00:12:15He's already competed, Booker, for the NXT Championship.
00:12:18Six weeks after his debut, he's already here for a premium live event.
00:12:22From day one, from day one Jasper Troy is locked in.
00:12:25They always say, the eyes, the eyes never lie, man.
00:12:29This dude right here, he's dangerous, man.
00:12:32And we've heard from Booker, Corey, I'd love to get your thought of what your first impressions have been about Jasper Troy.
00:12:45You can't not be impressed by the physicality of Jasper Troy.
00:12:49I think with a little more experience, a little more seasoning, this dude is gonna be a force to be reckoned with for a long, long time.
00:12:55Trying to follow up with a big elbow, and lucky for Javon just able to get out of the way.
00:13:01Yeah, we've said for a long time that when it comes to Javon Evans, maybe the sky isn't even the limit, but perhaps Evans has met his match in Jasper Troy tonight.
00:13:09Listen, Jasper Troy is looking for a body shot.
00:13:11Javon was able to get out of the way, and now swinging with rights of his own.
00:13:13Able to sidestep Jasper one more time.
00:13:15Big jump in right hand, right under the jaw of Troy.
00:13:18Jasper right now for a moment is rocked, but Javon Evans, Corey, can't capitalize.
00:13:22Evans out of the way, double axe handle, off the rope.
00:13:25Looking for the German suplex there.
00:13:27No way, baby.
00:13:28Not with banged up ribs.
00:13:29Booker, how wise was that at Javon?
00:13:31I mean, Javon Evans, he came and he caught his head.
00:13:34Those ribs taped up, and right now Jasper Troy, he's got a target.
00:13:38Right on those ribs, he's gonna try to take this kid out.
00:13:41Trying to fly one more time, but that momentary hesitation just cost Javon again.
00:13:47Right on the steal again, baby.
00:13:48Focusing on the ribs, Javon Evans.
00:13:50I can only imagine how hard it is for Javon to breathe right now,
00:13:55following that devastating backbreaker, and then just getting tossed.
00:13:59My goodness.
00:14:00Javon Evans, he's not gonna quit, but this man, Jasper Troy,
00:14:03he's gonna try to separate the man from his senses,
00:14:06take everything from him tonight.
00:14:08And Booker, I know you've talked to Jasper Troy about the magnitude of this event.
00:14:12You've competed at six great American matches during your career.
00:14:15I told Jasper Troy, look, man, you got one shot.
00:14:17You got one shot at greatness.
00:14:19Go out there and capitalize on it.
00:14:21Take advantage of the inflation.
00:14:23And I love what this young man is doing right now.
00:14:26I heard what you were telling him earlier when you were talking to him
00:14:28about 1995, beating the stud stable in 2006.
00:14:31Oh, yes.
00:14:32He won a world title at this event.
00:14:34I told him, hey, you go out here, you took this young man down.
00:14:37You go out there, you, that is.
00:14:39You step on him.
00:14:40You put him down.
00:14:41You walk on him.
00:14:42And you step on some toes.
00:14:44And keep on walking, Jack.
00:14:46I love that.
00:14:47I think your exact quote to him was step on his throat and don't let him up,
00:14:50if you want me to be completely honest for what you said earlier tonight.
00:14:54But Graves, listen to center stage.
00:14:58Sold out, letting Jasper Troy know exactly how they feel about it.
00:15:02Well, unfortunately for the NXT universe in attendance,
00:15:04Jasper Troy could care less what they think about his performance.
00:15:08Troy's out here to make a statement to the entire roster,
00:15:10to the entire business.
00:15:12Jasper Troy has arrived.
00:15:13And to be fair, he's also trying to make a statement to our general manager,
00:15:17Ava, who is here tonight.
00:15:19Jasper Troy feels he can get another opportunity at the NXT Championship
00:15:24because in his opinion, no one has ever pushed Obafemi to the limit the way he did.
00:15:29It's hard to argue with Jasper Troy's assessment of his own performance,
00:15:33taking the ruler to the limit.
00:15:35But right now, Jasper Troy is just having his way.
00:15:38Are you kidding me?
00:15:39Jasper Troy just picking up Javon.
00:15:41Javon finally able to get a little bit of separation.
00:15:44Right now, the big man is closing in on him, but Javon,
00:15:47he's putting up a hell of a fight.
00:15:49Let's just say this about the kid.
00:15:50The kid is putting up a hell of a fight.
00:15:52Stealing your bicycle, son.
00:15:54He's trying to ride it to victory at this juncture, but Javon Evans,
00:15:57again, trying to get away.
00:15:58And look, as this matchup goes on, as we start, we talk about the career of Jasper Troy.
00:16:03You're seeing the fight right now in Javon Evans.
00:16:05Grace, is Javon at a crossroad, so to speak?
00:16:08Listen, I don't believe that's necessarily the case.
00:16:11I think no matter what happens in this match, Javon Evans has an extremely bright future
00:16:15as a major player in WWE.
00:16:18Big man down to one knee, guys.
00:16:20Javon Evans trying to get bouncy, and the ribs, the ribs, the ribs, the ribs.
00:16:25Referee might have to step in.
00:16:26You can attest to this.
00:16:27When your body just fails you in the middle of a match, what goes through your head?
00:16:31No, not right there.
00:16:32That's called shut down.
00:16:33That's called shut down.
00:16:34When that happens right there, you can go into panic mode.
00:16:37Hopefully this young man will not go into panic mode, because the referee will have to
00:16:41have the world without understanding know-how to perhaps stop it, man.
00:16:45Well, he would have been in panic mode, and he would have been squished by Jasper Troy.
00:16:49But look, you said it earlier, Booker, there is no quit in Javon Evans.
00:16:53He's learned in a year you can't achieve million-dollar dreams with thousand-dollar hustle.
00:16:58He's got to bring it tonight.
00:17:00Not million dollars, champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
00:17:03I'm trying to get my own shtick, Booker.
00:17:05I'm trying to do something on my own here.
00:17:06Look at that, kicking out the knee of Jasper Troy, who's face made contact with Javon's knee.
00:17:12This might have bought the young OG some very valuable time.
00:17:15And now he might be blacking out the pain, Corey.
00:17:18You've said it before, whether it's Raw, SmackDown, or NXT, whatever number of shows you do.
00:17:22Adrenaline will make the man do crazy, crazy things.
00:17:25That's exactly what we're seeing before our very eyes.
00:17:28The young OG fueled by adrenaline alone.
00:17:31He's chopping down the monster.
00:17:33Super kick.
00:17:38Troy is down to one knee.
00:17:40Big boot.
00:17:41Big man just keep coming, though.
00:17:43Oh, got caught.
00:17:45Looking for that massive choke slam.
00:17:47Countered by Evans.
00:17:48Looking for the German again.
00:17:50No way.
00:17:51Trying to block out the place.
00:17:52No way.
00:17:53I don't like the tactics right there by the young OG.
00:17:56Look at Jasper Troy like a horror movie monster, like Michael Myers, like Jason Voorhees.
00:18:02Just continuing to soldier forward.
00:18:04There Javon screaming in pain.
00:18:06Trying to fly.
00:18:07Fist time connected.
00:18:08Falls into the cover.
00:18:09That was out at a quick two.
00:18:12An emphatic kick out by Troy.
00:18:15Springboard, caught.
00:18:17Hold on.
00:18:18Caught him.
00:18:19Man, this dude ain't human.
00:18:21Jasper didn't connect.
00:18:22Evans getting bouncing.
00:18:24Wait a minute.
00:18:26Crawls into the cover for Javon.
00:18:29Near fall.
00:18:30What a way, guys, to kick off the Grand American Bash.
00:18:35What a way to kick off this weekend here live in Atlanta.
00:18:39Yeah, but Evans needs to find out a way to keep his foot on the gas pedal,
00:18:42making a questionable climb to the high red district.
00:18:45Does Javon have what it takes?
00:18:47Well, we just found that out.
00:18:49Oh, gonna roll through for a moment.
00:18:51And Jasper, oh!
00:18:55Dumped over the top to the floor.
00:18:57Remember earlier in the matchup.
00:18:58Oh, baby.
00:18:59Here we go!
00:19:00Here we go!
00:19:01Wow!
00:19:04Javon Evans takes out Troy on the outside.
00:19:08But how much damage did Javon just do to himself?
00:19:11MSG!
00:19:12MSG!
00:19:13MSG!
00:19:14MSG!
00:19:15MSG!
00:19:16MSG!
00:19:17Sold out in center stage.
00:19:18And right now, I don't think Javon Evans gives a damn.
00:19:21But just like you said earlier, that monster rising.
00:19:24Oh, and Evans is sipping on that cocktail of the adrenaline in the NXT universe.
00:19:29He could be hard to stop.
00:19:30But Troy looking to snuff out Javon once and for all.
00:19:34I gotta wonder what's going through the mind of Javon Evans right now.
00:19:38And a small slip going right back around.
00:19:40And...
00:19:41Oh!
00:19:42What the?
00:19:43What the?
00:19:44Can you believe that?
00:19:45Hell no!
00:19:46Javon just hit the third time the charm.
00:19:49Trying to climb.
00:19:50Trying to will himself to the top.
00:19:53Javon Evans.
00:19:55Getting a little froggy!
00:19:58Put the damage to the ribs.
00:20:01Into the cover.
00:20:02And the...
00:20:03Oh!
00:20:04Jasper Troy again, able to power up.
00:20:09And Vic, you hit it right on the head.
00:20:10The impact.
00:20:11But perhaps the damage suffered to this juncture to the ribs of Javon Evans.
00:20:17Strong splash on the money.
00:20:20But Evans just a hair too late.
00:20:22Into the cover.
00:20:23He's looking for that cutter again.
00:20:24This time from the top.
00:20:25Got caught.
00:20:26And a massive.
00:20:27Emphatic.
00:20:28Chokeslam.
00:20:29From Jasper Troy to Javon.
00:20:33And ooh!
00:20:34Neat!
00:20:35And that could be the beginning of the end.
00:20:40For Javon Evans.
00:20:42Looking for that black hole slam.
00:20:44Oh!
00:20:45From behind!
00:20:46Up!
00:20:47Over!
00:20:48You gotta be!
00:20:49You gotta be!
00:20:50Evans surprised the monster in Atlanta!
00:20:51What?
00:20:52Here is your winner.
00:20:55Javon Evans!
00:20:58Did I just see that?
00:21:00With my own two eyes.
00:21:02I'm seated right beside you Vic.
00:21:04How?
00:21:05With the disbelief that's strong with this one.
00:21:07A shocking turn of events.
00:21:09And the W belongs to the young OG.

00:27:18One singular goal.
00:27:24To become a champion in the best women's division in the world.
00:27:28I've sacrificed everything to get to the WWE.
00:27:33Evolution in Atlanta, I'll finally become the NXT Women's Champion.
00:27:40I have to.
00:27:41All right, Jordan, I'm fully aware that you can bench press more than me.
00:27:50You'll never carry this division.
00:27:53Shut up.
00:27:55JC Jane running her mouth again.
00:27:59Let's all act surprised.
00:28:02But I'm not gonna surprise anybody when I beat you.
00:28:05And when I take that NXT Women's title from you,
00:28:08I'm gonna be the one steering this division into the future.
00:28:13Um, I'm sorry.
00:28:19Luckily for you, Fatal Influence will always be here to remind you exactly where you stand.
00:28:27Certainly a numbers advantage now for Fatal Influence.
00:28:35Jordan Gray's looking to stand her ground.
00:28:38Has a fatal blow just been delivered to JC Jane.
00:28:49We're live in Atlanta, the center of the wrestling world this weekend.
00:28:53As our WWE podcasts have a stacked lineup this week,
00:28:56including Ricky Saints with the American Nightmare, Cody Rose.
00:29:00What do you want to talk about?
00:29:02Saints?
00:29:03Cage?
00:29:04Calls count anywhere for the North American title still to come live tonight.
00:29:07I'm about to do my thing.
00:29:08I'm about to do my thing.
00:29:09I'm about to do my thing.
00:29:10So fresh, so clean.
00:29:11Gucci loafers, blue dinner.
00:29:12I'm doing my money.
00:29:13So Aruka, an incredible performance last night on SmackDown.
00:29:16In a few minutes, you'll be defending the NXT Women's North American Championship against the Cullings' Izzy Dane.
00:29:22But not only that, Zaruka has a chance at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:29:28How are the two of you feeling?
00:29:29Sarah, I'm not going to lie.
00:29:31I am riding high.
00:29:32Last night on my SmackDown debut, everyone got to see me snatch not only one, but two souls.
00:29:39But today, it is tunnel vision on retaining this Women's North American Championship.
00:29:44Izzy Dane is a master manipulator and she's the pulse of the calling, but she's going to get her soul snatched regardless.
00:29:51My best friend is an absolute workhorse.
00:29:54In three days.
00:29:56You best believe I'm going to be in her corner to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
00:30:01Especially with the little Tatum lurking around.
00:30:06After she retains, tomorrow night, Zaruka becomes the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:30:15Dude, me with three titles?
00:30:17Oh my God, it's going to get a hold of.
00:30:18It's going to get a hold of.
00:30:19Sick!
00:30:20Come on, I guess it's time to go.
00:30:21Let's go.
00:30:22Good luck.
00:30:25Truth will ultimately prevail.
00:30:28But there is pain bringing it to light.
00:30:33Light to light.
00:30:34Well, with a nod of approval from Sean Spears, Izzy Dane looks to capture gold here tonight.
00:31:00And Corey, doesn't it just seem week by week, Izzy is growing in confidence?
00:31:05I think that the culling was exactly what Izzy Dane needed in her career.
00:31:10And time will tell if the same holds true for Tatum Paxley.
00:31:14But this is a massive opportunity with gold on the line.
00:31:17Not only just for Izzy Dane, but for the culling as an entire unit.
00:31:2124 hours ago, Sol Ruka competed in Nashville on SmackDown.
00:31:48Graves, you just can't feel 100%.
00:31:51You would imagine not, but when it comes to thriving in high pressure situations, I don't
00:31:55know if anyone is doing it these days quite like Sol Ruka.
00:32:00The woman is born to handle pressure.
00:32:02Tonight could be the latest example.
00:32:04Well, let's go up to our ring announcer, Mike Rowe.
00:32:07Mike Rowe.
00:32:12The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Women's North American Championship.
00:32:26Introducing the challenger,
00:32:30representing the culling, Izzy Dane.
00:32:41And her opponent, she is the NXT Women's North American Champion, Sol Ruka.
00:32:55There have been eight NXT Championship matches in Atlanta.
00:33:00Zero title changes.
00:33:03Women's North American title on the line in this moment.
00:33:07And Graves, you kind of just brought it up a second ago, but you've seen a lot of soul.
00:33:12On WWE Speed, she is the Women's Champion.
00:33:14Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:33:16Paxley just smacked the taste out of Zaria's mouth.
00:33:18Well, don't forget what Zaria called Tatum just moments ago.
00:33:22And Tatum right now might be running for her life.
00:33:24Our referee, Gary Wilson, trying his best.
00:33:29I mean, to be fair, Tatum was absconded with several times.
00:33:33Oh, wait a minute.
00:33:34Wait.
00:33:35Oh, baby.
00:33:36Oh, the referee.
00:33:37Left.
00:33:38You can't see it.
00:33:39I drive.
00:33:40Is he screaming for the title?
00:33:42Oh, and the foot.
00:33:44The right foot of Sol Ruka on that bottom rope.
00:33:49You felt the air leave this sold out center stage.
00:33:54Corey, check this out one more time.
00:33:56Amongst the chaos outside, inside the ring, Izzy Dane with that sky high power bump.
00:34:02You heard the crowd count to five.
00:34:05That was about a seven and a half count before Sol got her foot on the bottom rope.
00:34:09I mean, Booker, that was heads up.
00:34:11Can I say this?
00:34:12Great strategy from Tatum Paxley right off the bat.
00:34:17I love it, man.
00:34:18Well, no doubt who Paxley is in the corner of.
00:34:21She has decided to join Izzy.
00:34:23Join the coin.
00:34:24Instead of siding with Sol Ruka and Zarya, who were once her friends.
00:34:29Don't waste any time, Izzy.
00:34:31As I was getting ready to talk to you.
00:34:32Let me ask you this, Vic.
00:34:33Why do you think Tatum Paxley made such a choice for her own career?
00:34:37I honestly don't know how to ask that because we've seen Tatum Pax for such a long time,
00:34:41and she always says that her friends leave her.
00:34:43For some reason, she trusts Izzy more than most.
00:34:46But this ain't about friends, Book.
00:34:47What's it about?
00:34:48Buddies, pals, man.
00:34:50That's what it's all about.
00:34:52I thought you were gonna say checks in championships.
00:34:54You're feeling okay?
00:34:55Missile drop kick from Sol.
00:34:57I thought she was gonna do the wrong.
00:34:58Sol with a big kick.
00:35:00Sol getting back into this matchup.
00:35:02In Graves to get this back on track.
00:35:04How has she handled the extra workload?
00:35:06Would not one.
00:35:07Two championships!
00:35:09That might have been the beginning of the end.
00:35:12Able to roll through was Sol both moving on the outside.
00:35:15Izzy did her best to plant Sol.
00:35:17Sol definitely took some impact high on her shoulder.
00:35:20She's obviously able to recover, but curious to see if that's gonna factor in as this match progresses.
00:35:24To counter that point, Sol also did just have enough momentum to get Izzy up and over.
00:35:28Charge it in!
00:35:29Big shot!
00:35:30Big shot!
00:35:31Covered title on the line and a near fall.
00:35:34Sol could have three championships after tomorrow night.
00:35:37Of course, teams with Zarya for the women's tag team titles.
00:35:40And a four-way tag team match of an evolution.
00:35:42Booker, how difficult is it to stay focused on one title, let alone three?
00:35:47It's so hard to try to go out there and defend a championship like that.
00:35:50Three championships in this business.
00:35:52You're on the road so much.
00:35:54This is not like football with Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders or anything like that.
00:35:59Too much of injury time.
00:36:01Hoist it up, Izzy, again, showcasing that power.
00:36:04This is a rubber match between these two in singles competition.
00:36:08But it is important to remember, Izzy did pin the champion recently in a tag team match.
00:36:14And Izzy right now in control.
00:36:17Total control, man.
00:36:18Certainly has to give a mental advantage to Izzy Dane,
00:36:21who seems to be settling into cruise control in this matchup.
00:36:24Making sure she doesn't make any errors.
00:36:27Doesn't leave any openings for the champion to get back in this fight.
00:36:31Tatum Paxney, they're on the outside playing cheerleader.
00:36:35We're all being honest with each other.
00:36:37Tatum has more issues than TV Guide.
00:36:39But we can save that for another day.
00:36:41Sol Uta trying to fight back into this matchup.
00:36:44This is when did you become a mental health professional, Joseph?
00:36:46Hey, look, I have to sit between you two every single week.
00:36:49Earned a few stripes.
00:36:50Is now looking for a title.
00:36:52Is Izzy Dane.
00:36:53And a near fall.
00:36:54Izzy looking for her first championship here in NXT.
00:36:57And imagine tomorrow, Corey.
00:36:59Izzy has another massive opportunity at Evolution.
00:37:02Women's Battle Royal winner would have a championship match at Clash in Paris.
00:37:07It could be Izzy Dane we're talking about in a matter of months.
00:37:11Holding multiple championships as Sol Ruka does right now.
00:37:14Think about the other side of the coin for Ruka.
00:37:16She potentially could leave Evolution with three titles.
00:37:19Or one.
00:37:20Just a Speed Championship.
00:37:21That's very true.
00:37:23As Izzy Dane right now has been in the driver's seat.
00:37:28Since the beginning, Sol from behind using her quickness.
00:37:31And almost able to keep Izzy's shoulders down for three.
00:37:34Right back up though.
00:37:35And right back down into the cover.
00:37:37Hook of the leg.
00:37:38And another kick out.
00:37:40Izzy's one step ahead right now, guys.
00:37:42I agree with you, Book.
00:37:43It's like Izzy has utilized the fact she had a singular focus coming into this matchup.
00:37:48One opponent to worry about.
00:37:49That being Sol Ruka.
00:37:50Whereas Ruka, as we talked about before, has been burning the candle at both ends.
00:37:54Sean Spears believes in Izzy Dane.
00:37:57He has said he suffered so that she could shine.
00:38:01Along with Nico Vance and Tatum Patsley.
00:38:04Booker, how important has Sean Spears been to the growth of the challenger here tonight?
00:38:09You talking about the GPS.
00:38:11Sean Spears has done a hell of a job with Izzy Dane.
00:38:14Because Izzy was kind of floundering after Kiana James took a hiatus.
00:38:19But right now, she's looking for her best big shot.
00:38:22Big shot.
00:38:23We got the champion.
00:38:24We got the champion.
00:38:25Oh my God.
00:38:26Boot a half second away.
00:38:28And this is where, Corey, I come back to yesterday.
00:38:31Wow.
00:38:3224 hours ago.
00:38:33Let's take another look at this before we get there, Vic.
00:38:35Bam!
00:38:36Full roof and you can pick up your bicuspids over on Peachtree Street.
00:38:40Incredible boot by the challenger.
00:38:42But Corey, she's coming in not at 100%, competing last night.
00:38:45Taking on the likes of Roxanne Perez.
00:38:48Listen, a lot of champions believe that iron sharpens iron.
00:38:52Sol Ruka certainly up that mentality.
00:38:54But right now, Izzy Dane proving why it's a questionable thought process.
00:38:58Not only that, we never come into the ring 100%.
00:39:01And it's always said, you can work her all day, man.
00:39:05That's what you spend.
00:39:06You just can't work injured.
00:39:07That's the deal, dawg.
00:39:09Right now, Sol trying to get back.
00:39:11Ooh.
00:39:12Big flying clothesline.
00:39:13Looking to the outside.
00:39:14You see her tag team partner, Zaria, trying to fire her up.
00:39:18As is this sold out crowd here in Atlanta.
00:39:21Watch your positioning, Izzy.
00:39:23You gotta stay out of those corners, man.
00:39:26Izzy again, just able somehow to slither away.
00:39:28Able to-
00:39:29Whoa!
00:39:30Rolling up now the champion for the title.
00:39:32Another near fall.
00:39:33And that power on display counter though by Sol.
00:39:37Unique backstabber of sorts.
00:39:40I believe that was two feet to the spine.
00:39:42Unique offense from the women's North American champion Sol Ruka now with a few valuable moments to re-strategize.
00:39:50What the hell?
00:39:51Oh, baby!
00:39:52Oh!
00:39:53What the hell?
00:39:54She didn't get all of that.
00:39:56She took a nasty spoon in Sol.
00:39:58It's tough to tell which woman got the worst of that exchange.
00:40:02And Tatum Paxley almost having a panic attack of sorts over seeing her friend suffer.
00:40:08Look at this.
00:40:09Ruka.
00:40:10Ruka's right foot, perhaps her knee connected with the forehead or face of the challenger.
00:40:14Guys.
00:40:15But Sol took a nasty spill in the process.
00:40:17Izzy took all of that, guys.
00:40:19Sol now springboard into the ring.
00:40:22And she's getting a little crazy right now.
00:40:25Laying it on the line.
00:40:26Hook to the line.
00:40:27Oh, the title.
00:40:28Man.
00:40:29Challenger able to kick out.
00:40:30You can see Tatum Paxley.
00:40:31You can see now the eyes of the champion.
00:40:33You see Zari on the outside.
00:40:35A lot of layers between these four women.
00:40:38But the one thing that matters the most right now here at the Great American Bash is the Women's North American Championship.
00:40:46And Sol Ruka, not afraid to take risks, Corey.
00:40:50But I don't know about this.
00:40:52How ridiculous, guys.
00:40:54Whoa!
00:40:56Izzy Dame did her homework.
00:40:58Certainly did.
00:40:59Oh!
00:41:00She might have just broken the code into the cover for the title.
00:41:04And another near fall.
00:41:07Kudos to the champion for surviving.
00:41:09But Izzy Dame brought her A game tonight.
00:41:13First shrugging Sol off.
00:41:15Followed immediately by a code breaker from the middle rope.
00:41:19We almost had a new champion.
00:41:21Graves, Izzy has a cold-hearted edge over most.
00:41:25I mean, she's manipulative.
00:41:27She's conniving.
00:41:28But will that carry her to her victory?
00:41:30Because right now, Sol almost seems possessed in a way.
00:41:34Well, listen.
00:41:35Manipulative, conniving, those are words that people use when they talk about someone that they don't like.
00:41:39I haven't been close enough to Izzy to understand where her head truly is.
00:41:42Sol Ruka wildly popular.
00:41:44Izzy Dame, perhaps not so much.
00:41:46That could all shift here at the bash.
00:41:48And a combination from the champion.
00:41:50Challenger answering right back.
00:41:52And you heard Ruka and Zarya call Izzy the pulse of the culling, Booker.
00:41:57That is certainly something that's hard to argue.
00:41:59Grappo kick by Ruka.
00:42:00I agree.
00:42:01I agree.
00:42:02I mean, right now Izzy Dame is doing a hell of a job for the culling.
00:42:05We talk about Sol Ruka having to compete on multiple occasions.
00:42:09Could he be catching up with her, guys?
00:42:10That's the question.
00:42:11And now again, looking for a little high risk.
00:42:14To my point.
00:42:15To my point.
00:42:16You're right, Book.
00:42:17You're absolutely right.
00:42:18Luckily, Sol able to recover.
00:42:21X Factor from the top.
00:42:23Pivotal point right now in this matchup.
00:42:28And truthfully, I don't know who's taking more punishment here tonight.
00:42:33Great point, Vic.
00:42:35What a hard hitting matchup.
00:42:38This is awesome!
00:42:39This is awesome!
00:42:40This is awesome!
00:42:41This is awesome!
00:42:42This is awesome!
00:42:43This is awesome!
00:42:44This is awesome!
00:42:45This is awesome!
00:42:46This is awesome!
00:42:47Staley fueled by the WWE Universe.
00:42:49Sol Ruka back to her feet first.
00:42:51Placing up the challenger at this point, too, Book.
00:42:54Dropkick to the back.
00:42:55You kinda have to throw sort of strategy out the window.
00:43:00Definitely right now with those deep, those deep, deep waters right now.
00:43:04We're gonna see who's gonna drown.
00:43:05That's the question.
00:43:06Who's gonna drown here?
00:43:07Oh, baby!
00:43:08Oh, baby!
00:43:09Oh, baby!
00:43:10Whoa!
00:43:11Yes!
00:43:12Massive chokeslam from the challenger.
00:43:14That could be it!
00:43:15Izzy, right back in center of the ring.
00:43:18Oh!
00:43:19High impact offense!
00:43:20Wow!
00:43:21For the championship!
00:43:22One, two, one!
00:43:23And the champion just kicking out, and now...
00:43:28Now is not the time, Izzy.
00:43:30You can't let yourself fall apart.
00:43:32To Graves' point, Izzy Dane has to stay focused, Booker.
00:43:36Now definitely got to stay focused, but this, God, this is what the Great American Bash is all about, leaving everything in the middle of that square circle.
00:43:46Izzy's feeling it!
00:43:47Can she deliver the coup d'etat?
00:43:49And both also want to carry momentum into tomorrow's evolution, and a super kick under the jaw! Champion has life, and looking for that soul snatcher, countered for a moment by the challenger.
00:44:01Oh, baby!
00:44:02Oh, jeez!
00:44:03I thought Izzy was gonna walk right into it, right there!
00:44:07Izzy, as Corey said earlier, has certainly done her homework, both women.
00:44:13Whoa!
00:44:14Unbelievable athleticism from Sol Luka!
00:44:18Here she comes!
00:44:21Target, set.
00:44:22Big spear!
00:44:23Much like Zarya entering into the zone of destruction!
00:44:27One, two!
00:44:32Tatum!
00:44:34Our official didn't see Tatum Paxley help out her new BFF.
00:44:39Oh, wow, from Zarya.
00:44:45Tatum Paxley's wiped out.
00:44:46A big right hand, though, from the challenger.
00:44:49Izzy Dane back in, ducks the clothesline, and, oh, there it is.
00:44:53Ruka snatches Izzy's soul.
00:44:56One, two, three.
00:44:58Soul Ruka retains the title.
00:45:02Here is your winner, and still,
00:45:06the NXT Women's North American Champion,
00:45:11Soul Ruka.
00:45:14What a match.
00:45:20Graves, let's go back to the closing moments.
00:45:23Here we see an epic spear by the champion.
00:45:27One, two. It wasn't quite enough to get the job done,
00:45:30thanks to the assist from Tatum Paxley on the outside,
00:45:33who was met and nearly sawed in half by Zarya for her troubles.
00:45:40But Izzy got a bit overzealous.
00:45:43And Soul Ruka with the soul snatcher,
00:45:46a move that no one has been able to solve just yet.
00:45:50And still, Women's North American Champion.
00:45:57And is more gold in the future of Soul Ruka and Zarya?
00:46:03We'll find out tomorrow at WWE Evolution.
00:46:07This August, WWE brings the vibes to MetLife Stadium.

00:48:20Lo quiero mucho, Vice City.
00:48:27Are you ready?
00:48:28Oh, JG, we are ready.
00:48:31Tonight, Fatal Influence gets a taste of the glamour.
00:48:35Consider it a little appetizer before you take the NXT Women's Championship from JC Jane tomorrow.
00:48:42I do like the sound of that.
00:48:44I knew you would, my little muzzle muffin.
00:48:50Our main event is still to come, but in moments, two men that can't stand the other.
00:48:55Saints looking to raise the North American Championship against Ethan Payne.
00:48:59It's false count anywhere here at the Great American Bash.
00:49:03The revolution has arrived.
00:49:13Do not let the handsome face and expensive fragrance fool you.
00:49:18I am here to turn this place upside down.
00:49:25Baby, I'm standing here the NXT North American Champion.
00:49:31Ricky Saints.
00:49:32Everybody here seems to believe with their heart that you are the coolest guy in NXT.
00:49:38On the inside, Ricky Saints.
00:49:40One of the most insecure human beings we have ever.
00:49:44It's Ethan Page!
00:49:46When it comes to Page and Saints, it has become downright toxic between the two of these men.
00:49:52You know, you and I, we go way back, man.
00:49:54I am tired of you, Ethan Page.
00:49:57So if that means that I gotta show up and defend the North American Championship and whip their ass,
00:50:03then hey, baby, let's dance.
00:50:05Page, he steals the spotlight and he puts fools around his waist.
00:50:21Across the steel chair, throat first.
00:50:24Saints would be diagnosed with acute trauma to his larynx.
00:50:28Ethan, bro, you messed with me.
00:50:30Ah, this might be my best work.
00:50:33I say so.
00:50:34The champs would be standing in the middle of that ring, tap dancing on the memory of Ricky Saints.
00:50:41Ethan's ego grows more.
00:50:44Everyone always looks forward to seeing this beautiful, beautiful smile.
00:50:48All ego, Ethan Page, the greatest North American to ever hold.
00:50:53The North American Championship.
00:50:57That's Ricky Saints!
00:50:58He's pissed off!
00:50:59What's to give him a pound of flesh of Ethan Page!
00:51:02I want my rematch!
00:51:04Ricky, if you want to get to Heath and Page, you're gonna have to go through WWE Revolve's hottest faction.
00:51:11The Vanity Project.
00:51:13Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.
00:51:15You can earn a shot at this championship if you survive the Vanity Project gauntlet.
00:51:22Ricky, Ricky Saints cleared and ready to compete.
00:51:28I don't mind playing this little game of yours because, in fact, when I beat the gauntlet, I get the stipulation for a murdery match.
00:51:38And the first man is eliminated!
00:51:40Go!
00:51:40Go!
00:51:41Go!
00:51:42Go!
00:51:43Go!
00:51:44Go!
00:51:45Go!
00:51:46Go!
00:51:47Go!
00:51:48Go!
00:51:49Go!
00:51:50Hey, that's two!
00:51:51That's two!
00:51:52Finish him!
00:51:53Third matchup here tonight.
00:51:55Go!
00:51:56Go!
00:51:57Go!
00:51:58Go!
00:51:59Go!
00:52:00Go!
00:52:01Go!
00:52:02Go!
00:52:03Go!
00:52:04Go!
00:52:05One, two, three.
00:52:07Saints is headed to Atlanta.
00:52:10Ethan, the ball's in my court.
00:52:13Great American Bash, I'm going to dog walk your ass all over Atlanta.
00:52:18And the best match that I know how, anything goes, a Falls Count Anywhere match.
00:52:25Hey, Saints, for the North American title, Falls Count Anywhere.
00:52:30That's a great American Bash.
00:52:35This is the revolution.
00:53:05The following is a Falls Count Anywhere match for the NXT North American Championship.
00:53:20Introducing first, Wiggins at 200 pounds, Ricky Saints.
00:53:26No countouts, no disqualifications, Falls Can Occur Anywhere.
00:53:33Graves, why do you think Saints chose this stipulation?
00:53:37Look at the fire in Ricky Saints' eyes tonight.
00:53:40This is a man who is ready for battle, no matter the circumstance.
00:53:44And the only rules tonight, there are essentially no rules.
00:53:48That's the wheelhouse for the revolution at the Great American Bash.
00:53:52And the police bring in at 225 pounds.
00:54:12He is the NXT North American Champion, All Eagle, Ethan Payne.
00:54:25Born in Canada, but says he was made in America.
00:54:30Oh, a big right hand, and here we go.
00:54:32Fight, fight, here we go.
00:54:34Hey, Graves, the champion cannot be happy in this moment.
00:54:39But there's a big spear from the challenger.
00:54:41And again, Ethan Payne can roll to the outside.
00:54:45He can be pinned right here at her feet.
00:54:47Fight anywhere.
00:54:48He can be pinned right here on the desk.
00:54:50He can be pinned up inside the NXT universe.
00:54:53And the challenger right now eager to explore the surroundings.
00:54:57The last Falls Count Anywhere match here at NXT, 2022.
00:55:06It's been three years, and whoa.
00:55:08I don't know, it looked like Saints hit something almost like a trash.
00:55:13Yeah, a trash can of sword, and again, that's the dangers of this matchup, Booker.
00:55:17It can literally go anywhere.
00:55:18I mean, I don't agree with this Falls Count Anywhere match by this young man, Ricky Saints.
00:55:23One thing about Ethan Payne, he's resourceful, man.
00:55:27He will find a way to win in a situation like this.
00:55:31You're absolutely right, Booker.
00:55:32As eager as Ricky Saints was to make this a Falls Count Anywhere match,
00:55:35he has to realize, in the back of his mind, this could also be very beneficial to the champion.
00:55:40Ethan Payne loves to explore the territory.
00:55:43Well, they are already up amongst the sold-out crowd here at center stage in Atlanta.
00:55:50And our referee, Adrian Butler, there to count to three to hear somebody say,
00:55:55I quit, and Ricky Saints right now.
00:55:58I mean, guys, he can unleash all that anger, all that rage, all that frustration.
00:56:02It's all legal.
00:56:03Ricky Saints!
00:56:04Ricky Saints!
00:56:05Not only is it legal, it is encouraged.
00:56:07Falls Count Anywhere rules as if Saints needed any added motivation.
00:56:13Remember this, Ricky's a very long-time close protege of none other than Cody Rhodes.
00:56:17You know the respect that Saints had for Dusty Rhodes in his creation that is the Great American Bash.
00:56:23A little bit extra in the heart of Ricky Saints here tonight.
00:56:27And I mean, Booker, you take a look at this match, it has to favor the challenger, does it not?
00:56:32He picked the stipulation.
00:56:33Man, I have to beg to differ, man.
00:56:35I mean, like I said, I beg to differ because Ethan Page, like I said, this guy, he's very, very dangerous.
00:56:42And sometimes it's not about the win, it's about maiming his opponent.
00:56:46That's what this man is about.
00:56:47They're out in the main concourse here at center stage.
00:56:51And let's remember, it was Ricky Saints who successfully ran the Vanity Project Gauntland to earn this matchup
00:56:56to give him the right to choose this stipulation.
00:56:58He first makes the question, what sort of physical condition is Saints in just days after running the conference?
00:57:04Spine first into a pillar on the outside.
00:57:06And now the guy's fighting in the kitchen and right there, he's the page.
00:57:10He's looking for the sharp edge.
00:57:11Oh yeah, man.
00:57:12That back just went into that solid, what would you say, cement structure, that post.
00:57:17And now there's nothing that's stopping Ethan Page.
00:57:20Page is just punishing the challenger.
00:57:23Remember, if Saints submits, even in the concession area, that counts as the end of this fall.
00:57:28Count Anywhere matchup.
00:57:30See some member, yeah, get out of Dodge if you're members of the NXT Universe over there in the bar area now
00:57:35and could be looking for Ego's Edge.
00:57:38Looked like he was thinking about putting Saints into the post.
00:57:41Certainly appeared that way.
00:57:42It's all perfectly legal.
00:57:44Saints just saved his own hide by escaping.
00:57:46Now some heavy right hands on the jaw of the champ.
00:57:49Big shots, man.
00:57:51Booker, you've been in a few of these matches.
00:57:53What challenges will both these men have to overcome in this matchup?
00:57:56You've got to stay composed in a situation like this because, like I say, anything can happen.
00:58:01This match could be over in a blink of an eye, man.
00:58:03Like I say, one hard shot in the wrong spot, like I say, could be over.
00:58:08Here we go.
00:58:09That's what I'm talking about.
00:58:11Over in the WWE shop area.
00:58:15Ricky Saints now, Booker's right.
00:58:17If Saints could cover him, Graves, he could win the title.
00:58:19NXT, NXT, NXT.
00:58:22Balls count Anywhere.
00:58:23That is.
00:58:24Cover.
00:58:25And, ooh, this is a two count.
00:58:28And you were right, that was a great observation by both of you.
00:58:31But the fact is, Ricky Saints has had the hell kicked out of himself as well in the early moments of this matchup.
00:58:37This has been grueling on both sides.
00:58:39I'm going to say, though, Ricky came out of the box quick, though, man.
00:58:42And with a win, Saints become a two-time North American champion.
00:58:46The fourth man to do so, joining Dominic Mysterio, Carmelo Hayes, and Johnny Gargano.
00:58:52And it seems, finally, these two have fought their way back in somewhat ringside.
00:58:58Ricky Saints!
00:58:59Ricky Saints!
00:59:00Ricky Saints!
00:59:02Ricky Saints!
00:59:02Whoa!
00:59:06Reversed into the steel ring stairs, and that could be the game-changer all-ego was looking for.
00:59:12Exactly what I'm talking about, man.
00:59:14Quickly, Ricky Saints was grabbing at his right shoulder.
00:59:17And now, again, everything legal.
00:59:20Man, right to the gut, baby.
00:59:24I love to take him inside and finish him off.
00:59:28We want table!
00:59:30We want table!
00:59:33We want table!
00:59:35Make no mistake about it, Ethan Page will not hesitate to redamage him.
00:59:40Oh, right back to that injured throat you're pointing out.
00:59:46It was in a different way here in front of us, but into the cover.
00:59:49Hook of the leg, and Ricky just able to kick out.
00:59:52And this is something that we hadn't even talked about yet.
00:59:56Ethan Page was the one that's wrecked.
00:59:57We know how cerebral Ethan Page is as a competitor.
01:00:01Once again, utilizing a steel chair to great effect, potentially re-injuring the lyrics of Ricky Saints.
01:00:09Didn't I tell you, this guy's about business, man, right now.
01:00:13We're straight back to the...
01:00:14Blah, blah, blah, got her.
01:00:16And now with that big shot.
01:00:17Oh, baby!
01:00:18Hey, you got Booker reassigning the anatomy here at the desk again.
01:00:22And you know that Page, Corey, has conjured up a lot of diabolical ideas over the last week.
01:00:30Diabolical.
01:00:30Oh, my goodness!
01:00:32Almost saw it on display.
01:00:34Just getting out of dodge with Ricky Saints.
01:00:37Hey!
01:00:39Pulling off all ego!
01:00:40Everything legal!
01:00:44Championship hanging in the balance!
01:00:46The challenger certainly feeling desperate, understandably so!
01:00:50And a fire extinguisher to the body and to the spine of the champion!
01:00:54Anything goes, man!
01:00:55Anything goes!
01:00:57Watch out, guys!
01:00:59Trying to get out of dodge.
01:01:00Now a lot of room for us here inside center stage.
01:01:03As now Ricky Saints back in control of this matchup.
01:01:09And, well, just exposed that steel guardrail.
01:01:12Did he just rip that?
01:01:14Corey, you got a better angle than I did.
01:01:16Yeah, yeah, he has detached the upper part of the guardrail from the base.
01:01:22And just slammed it across the body of the fallen champion.
01:01:26You saw Ricky reach for that throat for a moment.
01:01:29Again, let's not forget the issues that run deep between these two.
01:01:33It was Ethan Page who interrupted Ricky Saints' contract signing.
01:01:37It's everything they've gone through.
01:01:39All the battles that they've had.
01:01:41Man!
01:01:42When we talk about Ethan Page sidelining Ricky Saints several weeks ago.
01:01:49But, Booker, do you truly believe the longstanding issue between these two is going to end today?
01:01:54No, it's not going to end.
01:01:55I mean, this thing is just beginning.
01:01:56I mean, these guys are going to fight throughout their careers.
01:01:58They may be buddies.
01:02:00They may be pals after it's all over with.
01:02:02But right now, it's about what?
01:02:04Jackson Championship, man.
01:02:06And, oh, yes!
01:02:07And elected damage hurting the other.
01:02:10And I'm just looking up for my monitor, Corey.
01:02:12I don't know if you see the same thing I do on that right shoulder.
01:02:15But it looks like there's a welt and a bruise starting to show on Ricky Saints
01:02:19after going into the steel steps here to the right.
01:02:22I think you're accurate in your assessment.
01:02:25But Saints fight through the pain, muscling up the champion.
01:02:29Not necessarily looking for maybe Rochambeau, but countered by Page.
01:02:34Challenger right now, but carries position.
01:02:36Oh!
01:02:37Just got his neck crunched.
01:02:39Now, did you see the way Saints neck collapsed into that top turnbuckle?
01:02:43That was gnarly, dawg.
01:02:45That was gnarly.
01:02:46And right now, Ethan Page is looking to finish this thing in a big, big way.
01:02:52That's one of those devilish ideas that Page has dreamed up.
01:02:57Now, what is he thinking?
01:02:59Now, these ideas may be diabolical, as you said, Nick, but if they work, you have to call them genius.
01:03:04And up top, and that time it didn't work out for the champion.
01:03:08Eggfire!
01:03:09Page could be out.
01:03:11Saints right now could be on the verge of becoming a two-time champion.
01:03:16And Page, left shoulder, just getting up.
01:03:22Take a look around.
01:03:24You can feel the tension here in Atlanta.
01:03:27Saints made the most of a tiny opening and turned the tides of this North American championship match,
01:03:33driving Page face first.
01:03:35Now, it's Saints with the opportunity to do a little construction of his own.
01:03:39Again, these two know each other so well.
01:03:41Page beat Saints for the title in May.
01:03:43No way.
01:03:44Saints beat Page for the title.
01:03:45No way to do this.
01:03:46And standing to look.
01:03:47No, no, no.
01:03:48Oh, God.
01:03:49The spine on the top of those steps.
01:03:51And Page right now quickly realizing it.
01:03:53Page right now pulling, trying to yank up Ricky Saints, looking for that suplex, bending that steel guardrail.
01:04:00That's got to do it.
01:04:02And it's into the cover.
01:04:03For the title.
01:04:05There wasn't a lot, Booker.
01:04:06There was not a lot on that kick out.
01:04:09Let me tell you right now.
01:04:09I don't know what Ricky Saints got that from, but right there.
01:04:12That had to be all inch deep, especially with a shot like that.
01:04:16I don't want to see it again.
01:04:18Spine, kidneys, first into the steel, not once, but twice.
01:04:24And somehow Saints able to survive.
01:04:27We are sold out in center stage.
01:04:29This is the Great American Bash.
01:04:31A huge weekend for the WWE here in Atlanta.
01:04:35But this one about the North American title.
01:04:37It's Falls.
01:04:38Oh, count anywhere.
01:04:40No countouts.
01:04:41No disqualifications.
01:04:42Falls can occur anywhere.
01:04:44And if it's up to all ego, Ethan Page.
01:04:46Goldberg won't be the only superstar having his final match this weekend.
01:04:50Page looking to end Saints once and for all.
01:04:53Ethan Page believes he is a North American icon that others should base their life on.
01:04:59And it's Ethan Page who is slowly, methodically, almost now, it looks as if he's enjoying himself.
01:05:08The champion savoring the suffering of Ricky Saints.
01:05:13What is all ego looking for here?
01:05:16Just re-raised the furniture a little bit.
01:05:19A little bit?
01:05:19He just stacked how many chairs?
01:05:22Four steel chairs.
01:05:23And it's going to be a nasty landing for Ricky Saints.
01:05:26Saints trying everything he can do to hold on.
01:05:29Because Corey, you're right.
01:05:30This could end Ricky Saints.
01:05:32Saints has his feet hooked under that turnbuckle strut for the moment.
01:05:36Biting.
01:05:36Wait a minute.
01:05:37Challenger biting the champion.
01:05:39It's all legal.
01:05:40Biting beef.
01:05:41Biting beef.
01:05:42Horrible.
01:05:44Cover that man, Ricky, but someone's taken out of Saints.
01:05:46Saints right now trying to crawl into the cover.
01:05:48Put the shoulders down.
01:05:50Covering the champion for the title.
01:05:51And again, that egomaniac able to kick out.
01:05:56And Page wisely looking for respite on the outside as we look again at the powerbomb delivered across four steel chairs by the challenger.
01:06:05This is awesome.
01:06:07This is awesome.
01:06:10I agree, Atlanta, this is awesome.
01:06:12Unfortunately, it may lead to shorter careers for one of or both of these men.
01:06:17Well, again, this is false count anywhere.
01:06:19Right now, they're almost around the loading dock area.
01:06:24Over by this seamstress area here in the locker room.
01:06:28Again, false count anywhere.
01:06:30This matchup could end right there on the ironing board.
01:06:32Could end right there on the couch.
01:06:34Animated live from Ricky Saints.
01:06:45Got to use your environment though, right, Corey?
01:06:48Oh, baby.
01:06:49Maybe the game.
01:06:50That's a dangerous area right there, guys.
01:06:53Is that a flip-flop?
01:06:55I believe the preferred nomenclature is chancla.
01:06:57Oh, whatever it is.
01:07:00Oh.
01:07:02Is that Jasper Troy?
01:07:04It certainly is.
01:07:04What the hell?
01:07:05And that is a black hole slam onto that road case.
01:07:09Yes!
01:07:11What?
01:07:12Again, there's no disqualification.
01:07:14I don't know if that was by design or pure happenstance.
01:07:16Either way.
01:07:17You don't piss that big man off.
01:07:19Watch out, Booker, the right here to our right.
01:07:21And Ethan Page saw it.
01:07:22He realized it, Jasper Troy just inserting himself into this matchup.
01:07:29You expect he's a little hot right now.
01:07:32Obviously is for what happened to kick off the night here at the Great American Bash.
01:07:37And again, whoa.
01:07:40Oh.
01:07:41Oh, Ricky answering back big right hand.
01:07:46Page sent spilling out to the ramp.
01:07:48That was smart, greeting a little distance right there.
01:07:51What a fight.
01:07:52This has been.
01:07:53Oh.
01:07:54Ethan Page turning it around.
01:07:57Looking for it.
01:07:57No.
01:07:58Yeah, it looks like he was again looking for Ego's edge.
01:08:02Trying to overpower Ricky Saints.
01:08:05Saints, though, staying right on top of the champion.
01:08:09Did he just use the referee?
01:08:11Tornado DDT with an assist from Adrian Butler for the title.
01:08:15And the left shoulder up.
01:08:17I don't know if I saw that correctly.
01:08:19But that would be some more innovative offense from the challenger.
01:08:22Innovative.
01:08:23If it wasn't the referee, it was the LED board behind him.
01:08:26Let's look again.
01:08:27I think you might be right, Nick.
01:08:29What do you mean innovative?
01:08:30You referees should have disqualified him.
01:08:32There's no disqualification, Booker.
01:08:34What are you not understanding that you've been in these matches?
01:08:36That's a little different.
01:08:37He hit the ref.
01:08:37He hit the ref blatantly.
01:08:39Booker, I think your medulla oblongata is malfunctioning.
01:08:42He doesn't even know where his medulla oblongata is.
01:08:44And Ricky Saints now.
01:08:45He's right here.
01:08:46He's right here.
01:08:47Could be looking for Roshan.
01:08:49Oh, no.
01:08:51They're up near our camera crew at this junction.
01:08:54There is next to no real estate to work with up there.
01:08:56No, no, no, no, no.
01:08:58Paige looking for Ego's Edge.
01:09:01Did he do it?
01:09:03This could be it.
01:09:04Oh, my God.
01:09:04No.
01:09:05No.
01:09:05Stop the match.
01:09:11Wow.
01:09:16Paige fall into the cupboard.
01:09:18And Ethan Paige survives balls count anywhere.
01:09:23Here is your winner.
01:09:27And still, the NXT North American Champion,
01:09:32O-L-E-G-O-E-T-H-E-N-P-A-Y-G!
01:09:39We've got to get some medical staff out here to check on Saints.
01:09:42That mate is broken.
01:09:43I don't think it's broken.
01:09:44I don't think you're going to get it.
01:09:46That's awesome.
01:09:47What time?
01:09:48Corey, did you hear Ethan Paige screaming?
01:09:53Take another look at this.
01:10:00I'm still at a loss for words.
01:10:02I mean, that's got to be easy.
01:10:0510, 12 feet from the top of Saints' head down to the floor.
01:10:11I mean...
01:10:12Absolutely unreal.
01:10:17And for Ethan Paige,
01:10:20with a twisted grin on his face,
01:10:23is still the North American Champion.
01:10:28Paddy's pretty mad like a wild man.
01:13:02July 22nd, we will be – you're excited, aren't you?
01:13:05We will be in Houston.
01:13:07But here's who else is going to be joining us in Houston, Texas.
01:13:10As Booker just mentioned, the LFG Season 2 coaches.
01:13:14One of the newest Hall of Famers, Michelle McCool, fellow Hall of Famer, Bubba Ray Dudley, of course, the legend, the phenom, the Undertaker, and our broadcast partner, Cory Booker T.
01:13:25We will all be live Tuesday, July 22nd in Houston.
01:13:28But I got some breaking news from the desk of our general manager, Ava.
01:13:32Our next premium live event will be heatwave Sunday, August 24th in Lowell, Massachusetts.
01:13:39And tickets go on sale this Wednesday.
01:13:43But this is going to happen in New York City.
01:13:49These three men will be fighting for the TNA world title at Slammiversary.
01:13:54In moments, they put pen to paper to make that championship match official.
01:14:00The Russo with our general manager, Ava, here live at the Great American Bash.
01:14:05Welcome to the Big Time Intercontinental Championship.
01:14:17Do you know how many opportunities there are for me to celebrate after everything that I've done in my career?
01:14:24Multiple time women's champion.
01:14:27First woman to win the main event of WrestleMania.
01:14:30New York Times bestselling author.
01:14:32And now, women's intercontinental champion.
01:14:39I should be happy to know because of that disingenuous shame to my hometown.
01:14:48Lyra Valkyria ruined everything.
01:14:53Since you started trying to ruin my life, I have changed.
01:14:58By trying to hold me down, all you did was unlock the side of me that is capable of destroying you.
01:15:08You're going to apologize.
01:15:10You're going to...
01:15:12Bailey!
01:15:13Bailey Air Force Saint Becky Lynch!
01:15:17Becky Lynch, if you think you taking me out for WrestleMania hurt me,
01:15:22if you think it broke me, I want you to know that you're wrong, that it made me stronger!
01:15:28I'm coming straight for you, and I'm knocking you down, and I'm taking everything that you took from me!
01:15:35Intercontinental Championship up for grabs.
01:15:41And wait a minute.
01:15:42Lyra Valkyria out here now, coming to Bailey's aid.
01:15:45And now Becky takes out Valkyria.
01:15:50Bailey making the climb to the top turnbuckle.
01:15:54And wait a minute, Valkyria now attacking Becky.
01:15:57That's going to cause a disqualification.
01:16:00What the hell are you doing?
01:16:01This was my man!
01:16:03If this is my calling
01:16:06We're walking through a burning rain
01:16:11This title is meant to be about opportunities.
01:16:14But the greatest opportunity this title ever got was when I won it!
01:16:20My title!
01:16:22I think it's time I took it back!
01:16:24I should be standing here as the Intercontinental Champion
01:16:27if it wasn't for you, and I damn sure don't need any more friends.
01:16:32Fighting all my answers, I'm leaving, so...
01:16:37You don't care about friendship.
01:16:38You know what that makes you?
01:16:40Just. Like. Her.
01:16:42So we gotta.
01:16:44White chamber.
01:16:46Then don't you have to.
01:16:47We have to.
01:16:49You accept being second fiddle.
01:16:51I. Don't.
01:16:53An evolution.
01:16:54I beat Bayley.
01:16:55I beat Lyra.
01:17:00I sat front row when you won that championship,
01:17:03and then I watched you lose,
01:17:06and you raised her hand like a little bitch.
01:17:09And then you become the flame.
01:17:14At evolution, I have to rescue that championship
01:17:18from two massive disappointments.
01:17:21And then you become the flame.
01:17:25And watch it turn to flames.
01:17:29And then you become the flame.
01:17:30And then you come into the flame.
01:17:31And then, you finish it's the flame.
01:17:32You say you ain't got you, it's the flame.
01:17:33You turn to flames.
01:17:34You turns.
01:17:35And then you become the flame.
01:17:36Yeah, you turn to flames.
01:17:37And then I see you...
01:17:38We are to.
01:17:39We are to.
