00:00
The following contest is a Triple Threat match scheduled for one fall.
00:09
And it is for the NXT Championship.
00:16
Introducing first, from nothing Arizona weighing in at 290 pounds,
00:22
Josh Briggs.
00:25
Triple Threat match, who walks out of Houston with the NXT title?
00:29
We'll find out next.
00:30
It's main event time on NXT.
00:38
Sold out crowd on their feet for our champion.
00:59
And they're pulling from Lagos Nigeria, weighing in at 310 pounds.
01:08
He is the NXT Champion, Oba Femi.
01:18
Six months in Graves, how remarkable has this championship reign been for Oba Femi?
01:23
If you have eyes that function properly and you've been able to lay them on the ruler,
01:28
how can you not be impressed?
01:31
I know for a fact, Nick Aldis, Adam Pearce, a lot of people that I run into Monday Night Raw,
01:38
know all about everything Oba Femi is doing.
01:41
The man is making waves industry wide.
01:44
And why is that Booker?
01:45
What's on the menu tonight?
01:47
No bread, no water, just me, no jazz man.
01:52
Well, Briggs is upset that his friend, Yoshiki Inomora,
01:55
has had a championship match for that NXT title.
01:59
And he's never received one.
02:00
So Book, I come to you and go, where has this attitude been for four years from Josh Briggs?
02:05
Let me tell you something, when you just get in the business, you're a little naive,
02:08
you're thinking about the fans and looking for their approval.
02:10
Whoa! That has gone out the window for big Josh Briggs.
02:13
And here we go, wonder if Briggs and Inomora will work together as a unit.
02:17
But Graves, didn't Briggs get a NXT championship match?
02:21
He did, Briggs was gifted in a championship match that Yoshiki Inomora earned
02:27
the TNA championship match several months back.
02:29
And again, the man of mayhem failed to capitalize.
02:32
Another opportunity for Briggs, sure.
02:34
But the ruler is technically almost outnumbered, even if this is every man.
02:38
My God.
02:39
For Obafemi, he has never lost a triple threat match.
02:41
He is five and O.
02:43
And Booker, what does it say about Obafemi?
02:45
That he wanted to grant, bam!
02:48
Inomora rematch as Briggs into the cover off the splash for the title and a kick out.
02:52
Well, it tells me that the man definitely think that he could have beat Inomora in a rematch.
02:56
But let me tell you something about Obafemi.
02:58
You had that 273 days as North American champion along with this six month.
03:04
This guy's been champion, damn near his whole career.
03:06
Had a little bit of human pinball.
03:08
Yes, man.
03:09
Now Obafemi taking out Inomora and Graves, to your point, it seems early on,
03:12
Briggs and Inomora are working together as a unit, and it almost is a glorified handicap match.
03:17
And it doesn't have to be anything personal.
03:19
You work together, you try to take down Obafemi, you try to soften up the ruler,
03:23
the champion.
03:24
Then it essentially becomes a one-on-one contest, and then you have to throw your
03:27
friendship out the window.
03:28
Because what's this about, Booker?
03:30
Checks.
03:31
Checks of championships, man.
03:32
Dollar bill, man.
03:33
Dollar dollar bill, y'all.
03:35
It's time to look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive Inomora into the cover.
03:39
And Briggs just stepped on the hand, I think inadvertently, of the official.
03:49
Going back and forth, I don't know if you guys saw the same thing.
03:52
Briggs got hit, bounced off, and then took a step.
03:54
It went right into the ref.
03:56
Well, there's certainly plausible deniability, but look at the power.
03:58
You gotta be kidding me.
03:59
Wow.
04:00
Double chokeslam, Femi rolling.
04:03
Obafemi defending the NXT title here against Josh Briggs, Yoshiki Inomora.
04:19
And for Oba, kinda two-on-one, he's used to this, though.
04:23
He's actually defeated Josh Briggs under triple threat rules in the past.
04:27
But Booker, the whole thing here, why can't Briggs accept the fact that Inomora
04:31
wants to win the championship with honor?
04:34
You know, I don't think it's about anything about Inomora.
04:36
I think this is about Josh Briggs and Josh Briggs' downfalls.
04:40
Josh Briggs tonight, look, has nothing to lose in this matchup, which makes him a very,
04:45
very dangerous individual.
04:47
Very true as Obafemi approaching 200 days as NXT champion.
04:50
Cover here by Inomora.
04:51
Oh, yes.
04:52
Leg in.
04:53
Whoa.
04:54
See that?
04:55
Well, I saw Briggs maybe thinking about it.
04:57
He stopped.
04:59
Damn it, this is a triple threat, man.
05:01
Exactly, Book.
05:02
You took the words right out of my mouth.
05:03
I understand Inomora maybe having his feelings hurt, but at the end of the day,
05:06
this is about the NXT championship.
05:08
Sometimes you gotta bend some rules.
05:10
Occasionally, you gotta break the things in half.
05:12
If you wanna be on the top, you gotta do whatever it takes.
05:14
Well, it's, Briggs knows the rules.
05:18
Obviously, it's triple threat.
05:20
There are no disqualifications.
05:22
Odds are in the favor of the challengers.
05:25
Femi does not need to be factored in the decision to lose his title.
05:28
But look at Inomora.
05:29
But that's not with honor.
05:31
You know what?
05:32
Sometimes you gotta say to hell with honor.
05:34
There we go.
05:38
Well, Briggs, slamming cover for the title and Oba able to kick out.
05:44
We've seen those two do that in tag team competition in the past.
05:48
Usually, Yoshi's a willing participant.
05:51
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:52
I don't think Briggs was willing there.
05:53
It's now Yoshi falling into the cover onto the champion.
05:56
And the champion one more time, powering out.
05:59
Okay, okay, okay.
06:01
What the hell's going on here?
06:05
I don't like it, Book.
06:06
Has Inomora bought in?
06:09
That's the question.
06:10
I don't necessarily know.
06:12
And as this matchup rolling- I mean, you're looking right at it.
06:15
You're looking right at it.
06:16
What are you talking about?
06:17
I don't know because I don't necessarily know if I would trust Josh Briggs with
06:20
everything that has happened into the cover and now.
06:22
Well, Briggs now into a cover hook of the leg and Inomora didn't break it up.
06:26
Book, this is for the richest prize in NXT.
06:31
The NXT Championship is on the line.
06:33
Don't you think these guys, after the match, win, lose, or draw, can go have a beer and
06:38
understand why you hit your friend in the mouth?
06:40
Cuz the title's on the line.
06:41
Let me tell you something, man.
06:42
These guys, these young guys these days, it's all about going out there being friends,
06:46
getting on Twitter, the ground, and all of that.
06:49
It's about checks and championships, man.
06:51
It's about win.
06:52
It's about history, legacy in this bitch.
06:55
Who is walking out of Houston?
06:57
We are sold out here tonight as the NXT champion.
07:10
These two men, Briggs, Obafemi hanging in balance.
07:13
Yoshiki Inomora trying to get back into this.
07:15
It's about the NXT title, Triple Threat Rules.
07:17
Oba does not need to be factored in the decision to lose the title.
07:20
But look, we've seen teammates of sorts, Graves.
07:24
I mean, everything Briggs has done, is it for his friend or self-preservation?
07:28
It should be for the opportunity to become NXT champion,
07:31
the richest prize on this brand.
07:34
Look at Oba.
07:35
Oba was holding onto the hair of Josh Briggs, ripping him off the top.
07:39
And now for Yoshiki Inomora, he can win the title with honor.
07:43
Falls into the cover, hooks the leg, and the champion kicked out.
07:46
But he fell to the cover on Briggs, and Briggs kicked out at once.
07:49
That was smart.
07:50
I don't understand what's dishonorable.
07:51
That was inadvertent.
07:52
About, I don't care.
07:53
What do you think of me?
07:55
I'm thinking he got kicked out and fell into it, but Briggs thinks that it's
07:58
his partner who turned on him.
07:59
To your point, it's triple threat.
08:00
It's not about hurt feelings.
08:02
It's not about being best buddies in the middle of the ring.
08:04
Buy one another a drink afterwards.
08:06
Take somebody out to celebrate when one of the two of you is champion.
08:10
Question is who will be our champion in our next premium, a live event,
08:13
NXT Heat Wave on August 24th.
08:15
Whoa, baby.
08:16
And friendly fire, but does it matter, Grace?
08:19
It doesn't matter.
08:20
Oba now.
08:21
Oba's the smartest one in the ring right now.
08:23
Take advantage of the situation.
08:24
Big move by Briggs.
08:25
Briggs could be taking advantage.
08:27
Big Lariat to the back of the neck.
08:29
Briggs right now rolling.
08:30
Could be looking for a choke slam.
08:32
Bam!
08:33
Center of the ring for the title.
08:35
Briggs for the championship.
08:37
Let me tell you something, that big blow to the back of Oba Femi's head from
08:41
Josh Briggs tells me a whole lot about Briggs tonight.
08:44
He's out to win, man.
08:46
He's about to championship tonight, guys.
08:48
Briggs jumping right on top of Oba.
08:50
I talked about Heat Wave.
08:51
The better question is, which one of these men will be champion August 19th
08:54
when NXT comes to Philadelphia?
08:56
Yeah.
08:57
As Oba turning things around, Briggs able to counter for a moment.
09:00
And Amora charging, and it just ran over Briggs.
09:03
Great Briggs by the big man Oba Femi right there, guys.
09:08
Evans called it earlier.
09:09
In Amora has his own code.
09:10
He should just live by it.
09:12
And now he's fighting the way he wants to, with honor, with pride.
09:16
And bam!
09:18
Kind of countered the fall from Briggs pop-up powerbomb.
09:20
Back in!
09:21
Just ran over Oba.
09:22
In Amora now.
09:23
Do not be on the cusp of tasting gold.
09:26
Can he power up?
09:30
Yes, he can.
09:31
The massive champion.
09:32
Wow, look at the muscles.
09:33
Wow, look at the muscles.
09:34
Made it look easy.
09:35
Sit down style.
09:36
Into the cover.
09:39
Referee, no.
09:43
Briggs just pulled him out.
09:44
Get in there, Butler.
09:45
Referee's back in.
09:46
This time, the foot on the rope breaks the count.
09:52
Referee had to restart his count.
09:55
And again, things starting to break down.
10:00
And I think Yoshiki, I think Yoshiki is pissed.
10:03
Good.
10:04
And rightfully so.
10:05
Finally woke up, guys.
10:06
Cuz look, the NXT universe has been asking what if Booker,
10:09
what if Briggs didn't intervene at Great American Bash?
10:12
We could have seen this.
10:13
Yoshiki Inamura as champion.
10:15
What if Inamura wasn't distracted?
10:17
He's so close.
10:18
He's going up.
10:19
He's going up right now.
10:20
He certainly is.
10:21
He's looking to drop that ball.
10:22
Here we go, baby.
10:23
Here we go.
10:24
Yoshiki, bam, for the title.
10:28
Got it on.
10:30
Cover.
10:31
What the?
10:32
Briggs out of nowhere with a ball.
10:33
Wow.
10:34
Briggs into the cover now for the championship in almost.
10:39
Somehow.
10:40
By any means necessary.
10:42
By any means necessary for Josh Banks tonight, guys.
10:45
Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit.
10:52
It's all about the NXT championship.
10:55
Good.
10:56
These two men were former partners.
10:57
Itamora returned for Josh Briggs.
10:59
Itamora had an opportunity at the title.
11:01
It's a winner.
11:02
It's a winner.
11:03
It's a winner.
11:04
We've ripped the bandaid off.
11:05
Forget your feelings.
11:06
You see that?
11:07
He chomped him in the face.
11:08
Wow.
11:09
Briggs answering back.
11:13
Tried his second time.
11:14
Look at this combination.
11:16
Itamora flexing his striking ability but got his jaw rocked by Briggs.
11:20
Yeah.
11:21
Turgeon back in comes Itamora.
11:22
It's a fight, guys, it's a fight.
11:23
Oh yeah.
11:24
Back elbow.
11:25
This is turning into a slugfest.
11:27
Duck in.
11:28
Diamond beard, Larry, across the throat of Itamora.
11:32
Oba back in.
11:33
European uppercut.
11:34
Oba's up.
11:37
He's going for it.
11:38
He's going for it right here, guys.
11:39
Powerbomb into the cover.
11:41
And Femi once again overcomes the odds.
11:45
Sold out in Houston.
11:46
Here is the winner and still the NXT Champion, Oba Femi.
12:01
What a triple threat match tonight.
12:04
In the end, Oba Femi is the one who is standing tall.
12:11
Once again, it is Oba Femi champion as Briggs just ran over Itamora.
12:19
But Oba warned both of them that Pride would be the downfall.
