00:00:30globally known as the immortal Hulk Hogan.
00:00:53A ten-bell salute to honor the world and the immortal Hulk Hogan.
00:01:01The one, the only, the incredible, the ultimate triumph of his life.
00:01:07I don't know how many men are here.
00:01:11The one, the only, the incredible, the one in the world,
00:01:16the one in the world, the one in the world.
00:01:19Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, the incredible Hulk Hogan!
00:01:44Looking at the size of your arms, I wish I had anything that big.
00:01:49I take one look at you, you're taking me out of the ordinary.
00:01:56I want you laying me down to the dead and buried.
00:02:00He drops a thing like that!
00:02:02Hulk Hogan, maybe I can't hear you.
00:02:05The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, not what we've found.
00:02:09Something so I know of the ordinary.
00:02:13You got me kissing the ground from a sanctuary.
00:02:16Shatter me when you've done, will not return me to dust.
00:02:22The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, not what we've found.
00:02:28Hope takes all day, do ya.
00:02:31He was the Babe Ruth of wrestling.
00:02:33A household name that became bigger than our sport.
00:02:36Idolized Hulk Hogan.
00:02:38He wanted to be him.
00:02:39Look at this!
00:02:40He's out there!
00:02:50Watch out!
00:02:51What you gonna do?
00:02:52You're taking me out of the ordinary.
00:02:55I want you laying me down to the dead and buried.
00:03:00On the end of your night, I'm staying drunk on your fight.
00:03:05The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, not what we've found.
00:03:09So let's go out of the ordinary.
00:03:13You got me kissing the ground from a sanctuary.
00:03:16You can call this the new world order of wrestling, brother.
00:03:23The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, not what we've found.
00:03:27Hulk Hogan was the foundation for everything that we have today.
00:03:32The people related to Hulk Hogan.
00:03:35He made wrestling so entertaining.
00:03:40Just a hero to so many people.
00:03:43The girls up in the clouds, are jealous, not what we've found.
00:04:02The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, not what we've found.
00:04:02The summer's so heavenly, higher than ecstasy, whenever you're next to me.
00:04:08Oh, my, my
00:04:10What was it black and white
00:04:12Until I saw your light
00:04:15I thought you had to die
00:04:17To fight
00:04:18Something so wild
00:04:19Of the ordinary
00:04:20I love you
00:04:23And thank you very much
00:04:25On the edge of the night
00:04:27Stained trunk and move by
00:04:30And angels up in the clouds

00:04:40Sanctuary

00:04:45Or love returning to dust
00:04:47Angels up in the clouds
00:04:50Are jealous knowing we found
00:05:08What up y'all
00:05:14We in Houston, Texas
00:05:16We got the glamour girl
00:05:19For the win
00:05:21The glamour
00:05:23Blake Monroe
00:05:24Race is back
00:05:26She's nuts
00:05:26Get her out of here
00:05:28No, no, no
00:05:32Right out of that steel chair
00:05:34We got a triple threat
00:05:38For the NXT championship
00:05:40Oh, but Femi defending the NXT title
00:05:43Here against Josh Briggs
00:05:44Yoshiki in Amora
00:05:46This has turned it into a slugfest
00:05:49Fall from Christ
00:05:51Powerbomb
00:05:52Femi once again
00:05:53Overcomes the odds
00:05:55We got the Undertaker
00:05:57We got the Undertaker
00:05:58In the highs
00:05:59Y'all
00:05:59You're a little too light in the ass
00:06:07To step to an OG
00:06:09You wanna dance with the devil
00:06:11I can flip that switch real quick
00:06:15When I do
00:06:17I will
00:06:17Make you famous
00:06:19I was born in Canada
00:06:32But made in America
00:06:35And that gives me the honor
00:06:39Of bringing my nation
00:06:42Great pride
00:06:44This title should be held by somebody
00:07:01With dignity, honor, class, pride
00:07:05But you have none of those things
00:07:08But you know who has
00:07:10Some of those things
00:07:11Myself
00:07:14I'll see you next week
00:07:16Can't you get that sucker
00:07:20Tonight we feel the fallout from Houston
00:07:27Welcome to NXT
00:07:29On the CW
00:07:31Presented by Progressive
00:07:34The North American title
00:07:40Is on the line tonight
00:07:41Will Ethan Page retain
00:07:43Or can Santino Marella
00:07:45Turn the clock back
00:07:47And take a WWE Championship
00:07:49To TNA
00:07:50It's our main event live tonight
00:07:52On NXT
00:07:53The following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:08:09Introducing first
00:08:10From Port St. Lucie, Florida
00:08:13Jada Parker
00:08:16Jada Parker
00:08:18Jada Parker has been telling everyone
00:08:20That will listen
00:08:21It is her time
00:08:23While she is facing
00:08:24A member of Fatal Influence
00:08:26And it is a big night
00:08:27For that trio
00:08:29With a pair of matches
00:08:30Tonight is a big night
00:08:35For Fatal Influence
00:08:36Jasmine, you want to call yourself a baddie?
00:08:39Well, now's your chance to prove it
00:08:40I got this
00:08:41I got this
00:08:45I can see from the night
00:08:50Now we won't let you in
00:08:52Cause we hold all the light
00:08:55Now I'll blind you in sight
00:08:57Never know the punchline
00:09:00So we'll ever stay the same
00:09:03And her opponent
00:09:04Representing Fatal Influence
00:09:07Jasmine Nix
00:09:10Announced today, this year's
00:09:17Universal Halloween
00:09:18Well, you say that I gotta pop my deck man to get ready for this, this might be old.
00:09:45Like a Steven pot of neck bone, dog. Oh, yes!
00:09:50Well, there's Jada Parker.
00:09:51Graves, what is the missing ingredient from Jada Parker since he's talking about pot of neck bones?
00:09:57I don't know that Jada Parker's missing anything, Vic. I think it's a matter of time.
00:10:01I think if Ms. Parker can stay the course, continue to do what she's been doing, her career is gonna go upward and onward.
00:10:07Can I answer that? I mean, Jada Parker can compete with anybody in that locker room, but it's about level.
00:10:14She gots to be ready because it's about level. Am I right? Am I right, Graves?
00:10:19Absolutely, Booker.
00:10:21Well, Booker, how can Jada start to reestablish herself in our women's division?
00:10:26No, I don't think she's already established.
00:10:28She's established, but I don't think it's something that she needs to do.
00:10:31She just needs to actually be in the right place at the right time.
00:10:34Oh!
00:10:34Into training. Into training.
00:10:36It's letting that big right hand. I love it.
00:10:39She went face-to-face with our champion. So did the last leg. We'll face Fallon Henley later on tonight.
00:10:44Jasmine, Nick, big kick across the face.
00:10:46Women kicking off tonight as Nick's into the cover hook of the leg.
00:10:49And in here, Graves, you had quite the eight-woman showcase last night on Raw.
00:10:53Absolutely. Still feeling the fallout back from Evolution as we go toward SummerSlam.
00:10:58Unbelievable eight-woman tag team matchup on Raw last night.
00:11:02So much is going on in the women's division across WWE.
00:11:04We're hoping to get an update on the condition of Jordan Grace.
00:11:07We understand she is not here tonight due to that DDT on the steel chair.
00:11:11That could be in.
00:11:11Cover, and it was almost enough, but not quite enough.
00:11:14Of course, that DDT on that chair happening right here, Graves, last week, courtesy of Blake Monroe.
00:11:21Certainly send our best wishes to Jordan Grace as she recovers from the brutality of the glamour.
00:11:27But right now, it's all about Miss Parker and Jasmine Nix.
00:11:31And folks, to your point about the levels, I think if Jada can find that next gear, that one last top gear,
00:11:37that's all that's separating her from the top of the mountain in NXT.
00:11:39Fair point.
00:11:40It just goes to show the competition as well here in NXT.
00:11:42Oh!
00:11:43As well as just across the board.
00:11:44The ladies are taking over, man.
00:11:46Hey, let's get credit where it's due.
00:11:48I haven't seen Jasmine Nix look this dangerous in quite some time.
00:11:51Looks like she's adding a few new wrinkles to her game.
00:11:53Certainly prepared for tonight in Miss Parker.
00:11:55Both of these women trying to break through the door here in NXT, and Jasmine Nix taking it right now.
00:12:01The baddie.
00:12:02The baddie.
00:12:03Arnie Biscotti.
00:12:05All of that, man.
00:12:06Well, let's talk about this, Luke.
00:12:07I'm sure you think that Nix should be looking up to somebody like the rock star.
00:12:11I mean, of course.
00:12:13I mean, look at the success that JCJ has had here in NXT.
00:12:18What's on my shoulder?
00:12:19What is that?
00:12:20What is that?
00:12:21Two different channels.
00:12:22You damn skip it.
00:12:23But Graves, to your point, look at the submission by Jasmine Nix.
00:12:27Jasmine Nix almost with a modification on the Muda lock.
00:12:29Doesn't have the leg trap of Jada Parker, but still incredibly effective.
00:12:33Cranking on the neck.
00:12:35I wonder how Jasmine feels, though, book about Jason just throwing her and Fallon Henley under the bus.
00:12:40Volunteering her teammates here tonight.
00:12:42It's not about throwing somebody under the bus.
00:12:44See, you looking at it totally wrong, man.
00:12:46It's about pulling your weight when you're part of influence.
00:12:50You got to pull your weight, man.
00:12:51Nice counter, big right hand.
00:12:54Love it.
00:12:55Jasmine's firing right back.
00:12:56I don't know if you want to get in a firefight with Ms. Parker.
00:12:59And certainly both these women want to be in the championship title picture.
00:13:03When NXT heads to Philadelphia, hook of the leg, off the Knicks kick, and a near fall.
00:13:08Can somebody put some respect on the NYX tonight?
00:13:11Please, please, please.
00:13:14Well, right now, when you're taking a look at Jada Parker, able to maybe soften that blow for just a moment.
00:13:20Saw it coming.
00:13:22Student of the game.
00:13:24Trying to stay in contention for that championship opportunity down the line.
00:13:28I understand that outwardly, it seems there could be a little turmoil within Fatal Influence, but let's call a spade a spade here.
00:13:34Jasmine Nix is able to sit under the learning tree of the champ champ, the double champ.
00:13:39Oh, wow.
00:13:40Jane, wow.
00:13:41If Jasmine can't pick up a few tricks along the way, I don't know what it's going to take.
00:13:45Well, that last big, nasty elbow could have knocked Jasmine Nix all the way back to West Virginia, where she was a soccer star.
00:13:51She's certainly not on the field anymore.
00:13:53She's standing in the ring with Miss Parker.
00:13:56I feel the need to clarify, she went to the University of West Virginia, because she still has all of her team.
00:14:00Wait a minute, guys.
00:14:02Wait a minute.
00:14:02Oh, ho, ho.
00:14:04We're going to go high step.
00:14:05Okay, here we go.
00:14:06Here, bring them Tigers out.
00:14:08Miss Parker just don't know.
00:14:12Bam!
00:14:13Hypnotic!
00:14:14Into the cover, and Jada Parker proves a point tonight.
00:14:19Here is your winner, Jada Parker!
00:14:26You see the look, Graves, on the face of the double champion.
00:14:30Certainly, J.C. J.W. is too pleased.
00:14:32That's the interesting Miss Parker.
00:14:35Unleashed and hypnotic.
00:14:37Rocking the skull of Jasmine Nix, and it might be a long ride home tonight.
00:14:43Miss Nix.
00:14:44This might be a long, long night for Fatal Influence, and you can see,
00:14:49J.C. J.J. not thrilled, as Parker set her sights on gold.
00:14:58Oh!
00:15:00Salo?
00:15:00Come on, now.
00:15:02What up, J?
00:15:02Hey, you heard the dead man last week.
00:15:04Yo, I got you, game.
00:15:05Damn right I did.
00:15:06Yes, sir.
00:15:07Wait!
00:15:08Wait, man.
00:15:09What are you doing here, bro?
00:15:10Wait!
00:15:10Wait!
00:15:10Wait, man.
00:15:11Wait!
00:15:12Y'all let Trick wear that goofy-ass outfit last week,
00:15:15and y'all didn't have his back against the dead man?
00:15:17Bro, what are you doing here?
00:15:18Hold on.
00:15:19Dead ass!
00:15:19Dead ass!
00:15:20Yo, I'm mad for it.
00:15:21Wait, you need to stop beating the whole thing.
00:15:23Come here.
00:15:23Wait, wait, wait.
00:15:24Wait, wait.
00:15:25You got upstarts from Evolve trying to get a spot.
00:15:27You've got talent from LFG, coached by Hall of Famers.
00:15:31Listen, it's everybody.
00:15:32I mean, but we're the only ones being taught by you.
00:15:34That's nice.
00:15:34You're right, and I appreciate that.
00:15:36But I know this place can be scary.
00:15:37I know that it can cause anxiety.
00:15:39We have to meet that adversity head on.
00:15:42That's why it's time for you two to go up to the biggest dogs in the yard.
00:15:46Hey, hey, hey.
00:15:47Teacher's right, bro.
00:15:48Taker literally just told me that, and I think I'm about to go do that.
00:15:51Here, I got you right here.
00:15:52Oh, yeah.
00:15:52Right now.
00:15:53All right.
00:15:54Appreciate you, T.
00:15:55Go get him.
00:15:55Yeah, there!
00:15:56See?
00:16:00Yo, boy is bouncy.
00:16:02Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Siobhan Evan.
00:16:27Graves, he got a pretty good dose.
00:16:30From The Undertaker last week when The Undertaker said keep focused on the big prize.
00:16:38Damn!
00:16:43Yeah!
00:16:46Hey, look, gang, I ain't gonna lie.
00:16:47I ain't gonna lie.
00:16:50Last week, last week was crazy as hell, bro.
00:16:55You know what I mean?
00:16:56Houston was on fire.
00:16:58The young OG met The Undertaker.
00:16:59We talking about a legend.
00:17:02We talking about a Hall of Famer.
00:17:05And this Hall of Famer gave me some legendary advice, saying that I should go after the biggest
00:17:12dog in the yard.
00:17:16Well, guess what, gang?
00:17:19The young OG's in the ring solo dolo.
00:17:21So you might as well just go ahead and do it right now, huh?
00:17:25What's up?
00:17:25Oh, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, the biggest dog has finally arrived.
00:17:44Hey, look, Javon, I know you're on your high horse.
00:17:47I know you've been talking to the dead man and everything like that, but let me give you some advice, don't.
00:17:55Three things you shouldn't do. Pull Superman's cape, try Trick Williams, or try the biggest box office draw NXT or TNA has to offer, which just happens to be Trick Williams.
00:18:12Now look here, dawg. We already did this dance here before, and we know how that turned out the last time.
00:18:22And the crazy thing about it is Trick Williams is hotter now than ever, so I suggest you mind your business while grown folk talking.
00:18:29Trick, trick, trick, bro. Slow down.
00:18:34You coming out here with all this big dog energy.
00:18:39Going damn well, you just got your old ass chokeslammed last week by Undertaker right back to hell.
00:18:46What you talking about?
00:18:47Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on, that's crazy because I ain't deserve that right there, Javon.
00:18:51But you're right. I did get slammed by The Undertaker, but the fact still remains I'm still the TNA champion.
00:18:58Hold on, I'm still the biggest thing in NXT. Hold on, I'm still the biggest thing in TNA. Hold on, the biggest thing you can do wrong is try Trick Williams. Let's talk about that.
00:19:11Oh. Oh, okay, my bad, my bad. Um, I wasn't even talking about your ass game. I was actually talking about the NXT champion, Oba Femi.
00:19:30Okay, okay, hold on, hold on. Here you go, you disrespecting me again, that's cool.
00:19:34You could be talking about Oba Femi, but the truth is Oba Femi wishing he was Trick Willie. Let's talk about that.
00:19:43Cause we all seen last week, he had lust in his eyes. He wishes he had this here title that I got on here on my shoulder.
00:19:51Let's talk about it. And since he wanted so bad, I think I'm going to take what he has and make myself a two time champion.
00:20:00Watch out, JC Jane. Trick Willie coming to the top right next to you, taking over both brands.
00:20:07And that's where we have a problem. Because if you get in my way of that NXT championship, I have no problem erasing your ass from the equation.
00:20:18And that's facts.
00:20:23Ayo, Trick, don't you dare let that young whippersnapper get under your skin like this, man.
00:20:30And as crazy as it is for me to say this, Javon, you right, dog.
00:20:36You should be calling out Oba Femi.
00:20:39But Trick Williams is on a whole different level than you, dog.
00:20:44Let's talk about it.
00:20:45Now you see, Undertaker gave the right advice.
00:20:49He unfortunately gave it to the wrong person.
00:20:52See, you don't quite understand what it takes to be a champion just yet.
00:20:59See, some people have a very special connection with the WWE Universe.
00:21:04Huh?
00:21:05They leave the crowd captivated every night.
00:21:09Huh?
00:21:10But then oftentimes they leave themselves empty-handed.
00:21:13Now these are just straight facts.
00:21:15Coming from the greatest North American champion ever!
00:21:21Ooh yeah!
00:21:23And a three-time world champion.
00:21:27Now, you are going to have a great journey towards a championship.
00:21:32Unfortunately, it is a long, long ways away.
00:21:38And you definitely ain't going to get close to Trick Williams because the high rise is going to stop you dead in your tracks.
00:21:44All right, all right, all right, I see where this is going.
00:21:54Well, if I'm going to start, I'm going to start tonight.
00:21:57And I'm going to start with Wes.
00:21:58What?
00:21:59And, uh, I'm going to go, I'll fight it.
00:22:02Oh!
00:22:04Kevon threw the first punch, but he certainly outnumbered Booker.
00:22:08Man that throws the first punch is a man that have run out of ideas.
00:22:11That's what I say.
00:22:12Evan's in all types of trouble right now.
00:22:17Oh, yes!
00:22:18Got in the grasp of the high rise.
00:22:22Oh, no!
00:22:23Oh!
00:22:24A lethal cardiac kick.
00:22:30Hey, yo.
00:22:32I'm going to go and talk to Ava and get this thing popping tonight so I can leave your ass laid out one more again.
00:22:38Oh, we talked about what The Undertaker said last week.
00:22:41Another dose of reality could be served up tonight.
00:22:48Well, speaking of tonight, these two men are going to run it back.
00:22:52Tavion Heights wins.
00:22:53He is out of the NQCC.
00:22:57CC, Depsy, heights, next on NXT.
00:23:00I mean, don't do now.
00:23:02I won't do now.
00:23:03I won't do now.
00:23:04I won't do now.
00:23:06It's about life.
00:23:08It's about love.
00:23:09Making a different degree.
00:23:11I'ma be fighting, I'ma be grinding.
00:23:12It's about legacy.
00:23:14It's about blood.
00:23:15It's about sweat.
00:23:16It'll never get to me.
00:23:17And in my time, any of my money is my legacy.
00:23:20My legacy.
00:23:22My legacy.
00:23:24And in my time, any of my money is my legacy.
00:23:28Oh, here's something.
00:23:29You're right.
00:23:30Mr. Chase said to go out for the biggest dogs in the yard.
00:23:32And the biggest dogs in our yard are the NXT Tag Team Champions.
00:23:37Are you sure about this?
00:23:38100%.
00:23:39Everybody knows you take out the champs, you get a match in the next few weeks.
00:23:42Guaranteed.
00:23:43Facts.
00:23:44I trust you.
00:23:45All right.
00:23:46All right.
00:23:47In three.
00:23:48Wait.
00:23:49How do we know they're in there?
00:23:50You didn't check.
00:23:51Just assume that they would be in there.
00:23:52We'll freaking check.
00:23:53Hide.
00:23:54I'll look.
00:23:55Gosh.
00:24:00You're out.
00:24:01What are you doing, man?
00:24:02So they're definitely in there and they definitely saw me.
00:24:04But we've got to hurry, okay?
00:24:06Count us down.
00:24:07What?
00:24:08Wait, wait, wait.
00:24:09Are we going in on one, two, three, go?
00:24:12Or one, two, then go?
00:24:13One, two, three, then go.
00:24:14One, two, three, then go.
00:24:15One, two.
00:24:16Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:24:17Constant.
00:24:18Come on.
00:24:19One, two, three.
00:24:21What are you doing?
00:24:23What are you doing?
00:24:24What are you doing?
00:24:25We're going to beat you with these chairs and get a tag title match.
00:24:28Why?
00:24:29Why?
00:24:30Mr. Chase has been telling us you all are the big dogs.
00:24:31Yeah.
00:24:32We're the big dogs, but you don't have his with chairs and you want a match.
00:24:35What are you doing?
00:24:36He's going to ask.
00:24:37You want a title?
00:24:38Yeah.
00:24:39Just ask.
00:24:40Wait, really?
00:24:41Yeah.
00:24:42We love Mr. Chase.
00:24:43He's having a ton.
00:24:44If his prized pupils want to get a little silly and tilly, let's go.
00:24:47Yeah.
00:24:48I mean, yeah, I'm down.
00:24:49We're going to have some food, but we can make this official for next week.
00:24:51Cool.
00:24:52Sure.
00:24:53Man, I don't have a three-chairs.
00:24:54What?
00:24:55What?
00:24:56What is this?
00:24:57What is this?
00:24:58What are you doing, dude?
00:24:59What's going on?
00:25:00You're manly?
00:25:01What's going on?
00:25:02We're just going to beat them with these chairs to get a title match.
00:25:03You were going to what?
00:25:04I did not tell you.
00:25:05I know.
00:25:06You did.
00:25:07I didn't say beat them with chairs.
00:25:09Guys, I am so sorry.
00:25:10I am so sorry.
00:25:11It's okay, it's okay.
00:25:12We're gonna talk to Ava, we'll get this thing going for next week.
00:25:14Yeah, thank y'all, silly stuff.
00:25:16Don't worry about it, we got a title match.
00:25:18Yeah, dude, apparently if you just ask, it just happens.
00:25:21It's so easy.
00:25:22Be nice.
00:25:23Beat them with chairs.
00:25:24Why do I do this to myself?
00:25:28That's a fair question, to be honest.
00:25:30NXT is live in Orlando tonight, and you can stay up to date and
00:25:34entertain this week with WWE Podcasts.
00:25:36This week's lineup is once again stacked,
00:25:38John Michael joins The Undertaker on 6 Feet Under.
00:25:41And John Cena joins Stephanie McMahon on What's Your Story?
00:25:44You don't want to miss a second of any WWE Podcasts as we move
00:25:47closer to this weekend's SummerSlam.
00:26:08The quality to test is scheduled for one fall, making their way to a ring.
00:26:14A company by Red Sinclair representing no-quarter catch crew.
00:26:18First, Charlie Dempsey!
00:26:23And his opponent, Tavion Heitz!
00:26:29Braves, let's go back.
00:26:30It was July 8th, the last time these two met one-on-one.
00:26:33Is Heitz making another mistake?
00:26:35I don't know that that's the case, but time will tell.
00:26:38Here we see Charlie Dempsey reminding Tavion Heitz,
00:26:41sometimes you have to find that other gear.
00:26:44You have to get downright ruthless.
00:26:46Glenn Sinclair couldn't bear the stand anymore, and the W went to Dempsey.
00:26:51Fabian, if you win, you're on your own.
00:26:57You're solo.
00:26:58But if Charlie wins, you stay in the catch crew and you do it with a smile on your face.
00:27:06Good?
00:27:13Well, as this one gets ready to start, it was also WWE Hall of Famer and LFG coach Bubba Ray,
00:27:18who spoke up last week and said, this issue needs a conclusion, not a controversy.
00:27:23Booker, do you agree or do you disagree?
00:27:25I'm not going to speak on anything Bubba yet.
00:27:27Okay, well, I'll take his name out of the equation.
00:27:31Do you agree that these two finally need to settle it?
00:27:33Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think so.
00:27:35I mean, Tavion Heitz want to be a man on his own.
00:27:37He's gonna have to go out there and go do Charlie Dempsey tonight.
00:27:40Open this match up right here in front of all these people.
00:27:43Heitz wins.
00:27:44He is out of the NQCC.
00:27:46Some would say it was a controversial ending in their first encounter.
00:27:49I think it was just Ren Sinclair showing a little bit of, well,
00:27:52sympathy towards her friend, her teammate, Tavion Heitz.
00:27:55Listen, I believe Tavion Heitz is destined for great things.
00:27:58The guy is an unbelievable athlete, but so is Charlie Dempsey as he's reminding Heitz right now.
00:28:03I'm so curious as to what the arrangement is within the NQCC.
00:28:06Why can't Tavion Heitz just take a hike?
00:28:08Why is he beholden to Charlie Dempsey?
00:28:10He might be like, he makes the whole, a few payments.
00:28:13Ah, okay.
00:28:14Dempsey's getting some on the back end.
00:28:16It's precision.
00:28:17Yeah, I get you.
00:28:18It's about checks and championships.
00:28:20That is, that is.
00:28:21He's learning.
00:28:22I'm finally getting it Booker.
00:28:23It took about three, almost four years to get in there.
00:28:25Booker, what do you,
00:28:27Heitz learned though from their last match as he enters into this second battle with Dempsey?
00:28:31No, no, no, no, Tavion, Tavion, he's a little chipper.
00:28:33He's a held athlete, but he cannot look at this like it's a friendly company.
00:28:37Or anything like that.
00:28:38He has to take this serious.
00:28:39Or he could get hurt just like last time.
00:28:41You're absolutely right Book, and I think that's gotta be the difference maker in this matchup,
00:28:44because Charlie Dempsey wasn't afraid to bend the rule.
00:28:47Oh, yes.
00:28:48Wasn't afraid to flex how ruthless he can be.
00:28:51And that made all the difference last time.
00:28:54But to Tavion's credit, he didn't submit.
00:28:57Whoa.
00:28:58Again, it was it.
00:28:59Oh.
00:29:00Throwing in the towel.
00:29:01Nice roll through.
00:29:02Showcasing some power.
00:29:03Guys, I'm receiving some breaking news right now from the desk of our general managers.
00:29:08The shoulders are down and they kick out.
00:29:10This one is official.
00:29:11After what we just witnessed moments ago.
00:29:13Wesley, Javon Evans, one on one here tonight.
00:29:16I don't like that.
00:29:17Javon Evans just wanna get his leg back.
00:29:19I don't like that.
00:29:20I don't like that.
00:29:21I don't like that.
00:29:22Well, that matchup is happening.
00:29:23And you know, I'm gonna let you dive into that a little bit more.
00:29:26You gotta be smarter.
00:29:27You gotta be smarter.
00:29:28I mean, in situations like that.
00:29:29The young OG, this kid's got all the talent in the world.
00:29:31But you gotta be smarter.
00:29:32There's Ren Sinclair looking on.
00:29:34Booker, I wanna double down on something you just said moments ago.
00:29:36What is wrong with Heitz, though?
00:29:38Just wanting to stand on his own two feet.
00:29:40Wanting to break away.
00:29:41Wanting to be out on his own.
00:29:43You know, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
00:29:44I mean, Tavion Heitz had a chance to go into Japan and compete against some of the best
00:29:48in the world.
00:29:49And that right there can make you have that feeling to wanna just go out there,
00:29:53break out, and do it on your own.
00:29:55I get it.
00:29:56I get it.
00:29:57Swing and a miss.
00:29:58Dempsey coming right back in.
00:29:59Both men with the same thought.
00:30:01Damn.
00:30:02Crash and burn.
00:30:03Who walks away with the victory?
00:30:05If it's Tavion Heitz, he's out of the NQCC here on NXT.
00:30:10Battle continuing between Tavion Heitz, Charlie Dempsey is a shoulder down.
00:30:29And this is a unique position, though, for Charlie Dempsey, because he's in there.
00:30:33There's another pitting predicament, another kick out.
00:30:35He's in there with an Olympian who can match him on the mat, some would say.
00:30:40From a grappling perspective, you're absolutely right.
00:30:42But this is sports entertainment, pro wrestling, whatever label you choose to put on it.
00:30:46And Charlie Dempsey has grown up around this.
00:30:48Ooh.
00:30:49Charlie Dempsey is an expert.
00:30:50Look at this.
00:30:51Fantastic.
00:30:52I don't even know what to call that pinning combination that Tavion Heitz has executed.
00:30:56It was unique because not only did he have the shoulders on, he still had a front face lock on,
00:31:00it looked like, which is really torquing and cranking the neck by Charlie Dempsey.
00:31:04But now you talk about getting cranked and torqued.
00:31:07Look at the impact from Heitz.
00:31:09That's the part of pro wrestling that Gravy was talking about right there,
00:31:13being able to use the furniture just a little bit.
00:31:16I love it.
00:31:17Graves, are the issues between these two too much for NQCC?
00:31:21I mean, let's dive into that just a little bit more.
00:31:23Listen, I don't understand the obsession in NXT with everybody being loyal to one another
00:31:28and having groups of friends.
00:31:29We saw the D'Angelo family melt down a few weeks ago.
00:31:32Same thing could happen with the NQCC.
00:31:34This is NXT.
00:31:35There's still a lot of real estate to explore.
00:31:37You wanna move up.
00:31:38You wanna be on Raw.
00:31:39Come on here.
00:31:40You wanna be part of SummerSlam this coming weekend.
00:31:43You wanna be on the biggest events globally, and you sometimes have to leave your friends in the back.
00:31:48Let me play Devil the Advocate a little bit.
00:31:51I mean, wow.
00:31:53You wanna be a part of a group like the NQCC, but what do they say?
00:31:57Iron sharp and iron.
00:31:58That's what you get with the NQCC, man.
00:32:01Well, Charlie Dempsey right now has changed things around in this match.
00:32:04And you see the strain on the left shoulder almost like a hyperextension also to the elbow,
00:32:09and Dempsey going right around.
00:32:11I really believe it could benefit somebody like Charlie Dempsey being a part of NQCC
00:32:16because he's young in this business.
00:32:18You just talk about being an Olympic wrestler is one thing of being a pro wrestler.
00:32:22That's something totally different.
00:32:24Are you seeing a different look in the eyes of Heitz, or Dempsey for that matter,
00:32:28in this matchup seeing as this is round number two?
00:32:31Nice German suplex.
00:32:32Beautiful, beautiful.
00:32:34That could be it.
00:32:35Whoa.
00:32:36That's what I see right now is I see Charlie sitting on Charlie Dempsey.
00:32:38He wants to go out here, and he wants to break Davion Heitz.
00:32:41He wants to separate him from his senses in this match just to prove that he's not ready.
00:32:46Looking for a cross-faced chicken wing here, trying to get that right arm across the face.
00:32:51Trying to see if he can lock this in.
00:32:53I don't know, Graves, if he has the hands properly clasped or not.
00:32:57It appears that at least his fingertips were touching.
00:32:59Sometimes that's all it takes, but Davion Heitz able to elbow his way out of the situation.
00:33:04Davion Heitz certainly putting in a fight here tonight, trying just how bad.
00:33:08He wants to be on his own.
00:33:10Knee right to the stomach, into the cover.
00:33:12The air knocked out of Heitz, but he's able to get that right shoulder just off the mat.
00:33:17Let's go, J. Now!
00:33:19Rally to MCA, former Heritage Cup champion.
00:33:22Of course, the North American title will be defended in our main event.
00:33:27It'll be Ethan Page, the champion, taking on the challenger.
00:33:30Santino Morella, who is the director of authority in TNA.
00:33:35Well, for the first time ever, a WWE championship head to TNA.
00:33:40We'll find out in our main event.
00:33:41But right now, we're trying to find out.
00:33:43Can Davion Heitz...
00:33:44Oh!
00:33:45Charlie Dempsey!
00:33:47This is what makes Dempsey so special.
00:33:49No!
00:33:50The man is vicious.
00:33:51He is ruthless.
00:33:52He's sadistic.
00:33:53Look at this.
00:33:54Takedown.
00:33:55Almost a bit of a double wristlock here.
00:33:58Almost a camora applied by Dempsey.
00:34:00What's going through the mind of Ren Sinclair as she sees Davion Heitz in pain once again?
00:34:05Can Heitz get out of the NGCC?
00:34:07NXT Universe trying to rally.
00:34:15Davion Heitz, the Olympic Kid, looking to somehow break out of this hole.
00:34:20Whether it's by getting to the rope or being able to power out.
00:34:23But Charlie Dempsey throughout the break
00:34:25has been going to work!
00:34:27On that left shoulder of Davion Heitz.
00:34:30And Heitz is showing just how bad he wants to stand on his own.
00:34:34Two feet, takes out the legs at Eimpsi,
00:34:36Coming right back in with a drop kick.
00:34:38Height's bouncing right back up.
00:34:39It looks like he's got his second, maybe even his third win in the match.
00:34:43The adrenaline has begun to pulse through the veins of Tavion Height's bad arm and all.
00:34:48Unleashing an onslaught on Charlie Dempsey.
00:34:51I wonder what Miles Bourne maybe is thinking right now watching this match.
00:34:55And he was the first one to fight his way out of the NQCC.
00:35:00On my exclusive sit down with Miles Bourne.
00:35:02That's still a bump here tonight.
00:35:03But a swing and a miss by Dempsey.
00:35:05Oh, how the tables have turned.
00:35:07Whoa.
00:35:08To go back to July 8th in their first meeting.
00:35:11It was almost in that same area.
00:35:13Things went from bad to worse for Tavion Height's.
00:35:17And Height's didn't learn from his mistake.
00:35:19And what we're seeing is Charlie Dempsey has been playing the long game.
00:35:22Trying to lure in Tavion Height's.
00:35:23And this is where Tavion's inexperience could be a factor.
00:35:26And I'm looking at Wren Sinclair.
00:35:28I see the look in her eyes.
00:35:29Booker, Wren's got to stay out of this matchup no matter what.
00:35:32It really doesn't matter what he is.
00:35:34And NQCC is over pretty much.
00:35:38No matter, even if this thing, if Tavion wins, this thing's over.
00:35:43This thing, if Charlie wins, it's over.
00:35:45It doesn't matter, guys.
00:35:46Single leg crowd right now locked in on Tavion Height's.
00:35:49And Height's right now trying to find a way to get to that bottom rope.
00:35:53He didn't tap out the first time.
00:35:55It was Wren Sinclair who threw in the towel.
00:35:57And she's again watching Tavion get systematically dissected by Charlie Dempsey.
00:36:02Oh, baby.
00:36:03I got to be honest with you.
00:36:04Part of me enjoys watching Charlie Dempsey dismantle the opposition as he's doing right
00:36:09now handily to Tavion Height.
00:36:11What's Wren looking for under the ring?
00:36:14Sinclair needs to keep her emotions intact.
00:36:16I've been saying it.
00:36:17And Height, is he going to tap?
00:36:19Is Height's going to tap?
00:36:20And it doesn't look like there is a towel anywhere for Wren Sinclair.
00:36:23Tavion Height trying to fight through the pain.
00:36:26Able to reverse it for the moment.
00:36:28Trying to get that pressure off.
00:36:29Big kick.
00:36:30Creating a little bit of separation.
00:36:32But right back in comes Tavion.
00:36:33Got caught.
00:36:34Got caught.
00:36:35Ooh.
00:36:36Near fall.
00:36:37Back up.
00:36:39Height.
00:36:39Bam!
00:36:40Leaving his feet.
00:36:41And Graves, you've said it time and time again.
00:36:43Adrenaline will make a man do crazy things.
00:36:45That's what we're seeing right before our very big double leg.
00:36:48And down goes Dempsey.
00:36:50I don't know if Height can still be on his feet if not for that top rope.
00:36:53Trying to pick up any sort of momentum.
00:36:55But can he?
00:36:56Wait a minute.
00:36:56Does he have enough left?
00:36:58Somehow, someway.
00:36:59I don't know if he can get it in right here, though.
00:37:02Tavion Height.
00:37:03Yes!
00:37:04Able to fight through the pain.
00:37:06Dropping Dempsey.
00:37:08And now the momentum shift has swung over to Tavion.
00:37:11Swung over there right there.
00:37:13I thought Dempsey would be smart.
00:37:14Trying to get a cover out of that.
00:37:16Oh, Dempsey back to the knee.
00:37:18I think it could be a case of the exhaustion playing a factor at this juncture book.
00:37:21Tavion's had a lot taken out of him.
00:37:23Uh-oh!
00:37:24Look at this!
00:37:24Look at that!
00:37:25Tavion!
00:37:26Big belly to belly!
00:37:28And Height did it!
00:37:30He's now on his own!
00:37:31He's out of the NQCC!
00:37:35Here is your winner, Tavion Height!
00:37:39What a show of grit and determination from the Olympic kid, Tavion Height.
00:37:47Big, big things are on the horizon for Tavion Height, who shot a great deal of toughness, a great deal of grit, and a thunderous belly-to-belly suplex to knock off Charlie Dempsey and earn his exit from the no-quarter catch group.
00:38:03Congratulations, Tavion Height!
00:38:05Congratulations, Tavion Height!
00:38:11I like it!
00:38:12It looks like he also earned some respect.
00:38:16Nice show of sportsmanship.
00:38:17But what's next for the NQCC?
00:38:20More importantly, what's next for Tavion Height?
00:38:26Big dog, huh?
00:38:28You feel me?
00:38:29Hey, look, this is what we're going to do.
00:38:30Y'all going to finish him off tonight?
00:38:32That way, I can work on becoming a two-title holder, Treat Williams.
00:38:36Let's talk about it.
00:38:37Now, look, consider him out the picture, dog.
00:38:39But if I do this for you, what do you think about setting up a shot for the boys for the TNA tag titles?
00:38:44I love that, man.
00:38:45It's Trig and A.
00:38:45Let's talk about it.
00:38:47I told y'all I was going to...
00:38:49Trig and A, you really think you have some stroke at TNA, don't you?
00:38:55Well, let me tell you something, brother.
00:38:57I am the stroke at TNA.
00:39:00But worry not about this, because tonight I'm not the director of authority at TNA.
00:39:05Tonight I'm a WWE superstar, defending the good people of North America.
00:39:09Against that bumhole boy, Ethan Page.
00:39:12And that's for this.
00:39:14Trusting me, you, this.
00:39:16Don't get too comfortable, because that's coming home soon.
00:39:22Man, don't worry about whatever that was.
00:39:24And don't worry about the crime.
00:39:26Well, there is Blake Monroe.
00:39:28She said she's going to expose Jordan Grace.
00:39:31What does she meet?
00:39:33We're going to find out next.
00:39:39Glamour is forever.
00:39:44Wow.
00:39:45Welcome back to NXT.
00:40:01Oh, oh, oh.
00:40:03Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
00:40:08Blake Monroe!
00:40:09She said she is going to expose Jordan Grace.
00:40:14The same Jordan Grace she dropped right here in front of us on a steel chair with a vicious DDT.
00:40:23She isn't glamorous.
00:40:24She's vindictive.
00:40:26Why can't she be both, Vic?
00:40:29There's only one, in my eyes.
00:40:30Vindictive.
00:40:32Villainous.
00:40:32Not glamorous.
00:40:37A star, baby.
00:40:39That's what she is.
00:40:43Booker T, darling.
00:40:46Yes.
00:40:46The name is Blake Monroe.
00:40:50She loves me.
00:40:51She loves me.
00:40:51She was very upset.
00:40:53So learn it, love it, and don't ever do that again.
00:40:57Unless you want to end up in a medical facility.
00:40:59Let me write it down.
00:41:00Like Jordan Grace.
00:41:01You're so enamored, you didn't even hear the thresh.
00:41:06I heard it.
00:41:07Now, for the question everybody's been asking, why Jordan Grace?
00:41:14But the answer's so simple.
00:41:17Jordan isn't good enough.
00:41:20And that's a feeling I'm sure all of you can relate to.
00:41:24But I've seen protein shakes with more personality than JG.
00:41:29She's just not a superstar.
00:41:32She's more of a background player.
00:41:35Or, as some might say, an extra.
00:41:44Yikes.
00:41:45But let's get serious.
00:41:47Let's get serious.
00:41:48Because this is the deepest division in women's wrestling.
00:41:52And you can't have a champion who looks like this.
00:41:56Oh.
00:41:57Oh.
00:42:05Now, I know.
00:42:06I know what you're all thinking.
00:42:09I get it.
00:42:10I get it.
00:42:10You're thinking, Blake, Blake, Jordan has...
00:42:13She's transformed herself.
00:42:16But I know when she's alone and she looks in the mirror, she doesn't see a juggernaut.
00:42:25She sees that photo.
00:42:27And that is not championship material.
00:42:31That's gym membership material.
00:42:37But this...
00:42:40This is what you call star power.
00:42:45This is what you build a brand around.
00:42:49WWE knew about me before I even decided to wrestle.
00:42:54And I was influencing all of you to buy shirts and going viral just for looking like this.
00:43:02Oh.
00:43:04Delicious.
00:43:05Because when you look this good, you don't need to change a thing.
00:43:11So I'm not here to play nice.
00:43:14I'm here to be the woman this brand revolves around.
00:43:18So you can all feel bad for JG because she's a little underdog.
00:43:23She can bench 300 pounds, but she can't carry a woman.
00:43:30Oye, Blake.
00:43:32Can you do us all a favor y callate la boca?
00:43:38Es que yo no entiendo.
00:43:39I don't understand how you could be so beautiful.
00:43:43Pero so ugly inside, man.
00:43:48You know what?
00:43:50You're right.
00:43:51We do have the deepest women's division.
00:43:54And you're not going to be champ of it.
00:43:59You want to talk about star power?
00:44:02Bueno, mama.
00:44:03Star power to me is flying across the world to represent WWE and AAA.
00:44:08Star power is creating viral moments like I did dancing with Hall of Famer Nikki Bella at Evolution.
00:44:24So if there's anyone, pero I mean anyone.
00:44:29I promise you, I promise you.
00:44:42See, it's crazy to me because all I keep hearing is evolution this, viral moment that.
00:44:50Y'all love talking about your little moments about somebody that made you relevant.
00:44:56I don't need any of that, baby.
00:44:58I don't need no Bella twin.
00:44:59I don't need no betrayal.
00:45:01And I damn sure don't need anybody else to make any type of noise.
00:45:04I am Jada Parker.
00:45:06Understand that.
00:45:09Y'all saw what I did to Jasmine Knicks earlier.
00:45:11I'm not chasing clout.
00:45:12I am chasing that NXT Women's Championship.
00:45:15Oh, dear.
00:45:17I had so much hope for the both of you.
00:45:20But you're just going to be little JG Jr.
00:45:24Aren't you?
00:45:24Is she here?
00:45:35Whoops.
00:45:36My bad.
00:45:37I guess I'm not the Jordan you were looking for.
00:45:44Well, always expect the unexpected here in NXT.
00:45:48Look, at Evolution, it was amazing.
00:45:54NXT represented.
00:45:56But I'm not here to talk about the past.
00:45:59I'm here to talk about the future.
00:46:02And you can't talk about the future without talking about Kalani Jordan.
00:46:07But for some reason, Blake, you think you're the hottest signee in sports entertainment.
00:46:14So how about you prove it against a former champion?
00:46:18But the truth is, Blake, even on your best day, you can't do it like Lonnie.
00:46:29That's cute.
00:46:31Kalani finally got a personality.
00:46:35How about next week, I put you with Jordan Grace in a medical facility?
00:46:41Oh!
00:46:43Head brought by Monroe.
00:46:45Starting to break down between these four women.
00:46:49Angelus, man!
00:46:52And it's all about championships.
00:46:55They all want opportunities.
00:46:59Oh, Levi's and Kalani Jordan holding the hard ground.
00:47:04And if one thing's for certain, the target is getting bigger.
00:47:08And bigger on the back of J.C. Jane.
00:47:19And this doll that you gave me, Izzy, I was able to pin Zarya.
00:47:24That might have been the biggest win of my career.
00:47:26I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I think I want to challenge Sol Ruka.
00:47:30Whoa, whoa, you want to challenge Sol Ruka for the North American Championship?
00:47:35I mean, Tatum, it was a big win, but you didn't pin the champion.
00:47:39And in order to get a title match, you have to pin the champion.
00:47:42Like, I did.
00:47:43Tatum!
00:47:45We are still reeling from last week.
00:47:47Congratulations on getting us that big win in Houston.
00:47:49You proved to be an asset to the Kohler.
00:47:51And because of that, we just came from Ava's office.
00:47:53Because of your big win, you have a North American Championship match against Sol Ruka next week.
00:47:59Are you kidding me?
00:48:00I am not kidding.
00:48:00Izzy, did you hear that?
00:48:01I'm so proud of you.
00:48:02I'm looking forward.
00:48:03Tatum, that's amazing.
00:48:04Isn't it great?
00:48:06Oh, my gosh.
00:48:06You guys know what?
00:48:08Sol got lucky at Bash.
00:48:10Zarya having her back.
00:48:12Next week, you're going to have all of us in your corner to make sure you bring home gold to the culling.
00:48:16Oh, my gosh.
00:48:17You guys are the best.
00:48:20You've earned this.
00:48:21Izzy, you guys are so lucky.
00:48:23It's amazing.
00:48:23I'm so happy right now.
00:48:25I love my new family.
00:48:27It's going to be your week.
00:48:27Next week.
00:48:28I'm going to do it for all of you guys.
00:48:30It's going to be so amazing.
00:48:31I'm so happy.
00:48:33No family lasts forever.
00:48:36Fatal influence.
00:48:38One thing's for certain.
00:48:39Two things for show.
00:48:40That I am the most dominant woman in all of WWE.
00:48:44Especially after eliminating Nikki Bella and Nia Jax in that battle royal.
00:48:48So, once I'm done with Fallon Henley,
00:48:51there will be a clear path to that NXT Women's Championship.
00:48:55To the rest of Hulk Hogan, WWE will donate all net proceeds of the Hulk Hogan Legacy Collection to his family.
00:49:04The collection is available now on Fanatics and WWE Shop for a limited time.
00:49:10We're rapidly approaching the time for an NXT North American Championship defense by the self-proclaimed greatest North American,
00:49:19Ethan Page, Santino Morello, still to come.
00:49:22And we're pulling it from Atlanta, Georgia.
00:49:45Lash Legend!
00:49:50Well, Graves is the bougie bully ready for tonight.
00:49:56All signs point to yes.
00:49:58Lash Legend has been on a roll recently, especially coming off the historic event known as Evolution.
00:50:06But can Lash capitalize on the momentum?
00:50:10Can she build off of it?
00:50:11It's one thing to make a little noise.
00:50:12It's another to sustain it, to continue to build.
00:50:15Well, there's not a lot of momentum for Fatal Influence here tonight.
00:50:19After what happened to Jasmine Nix earlier tonight, Graves, things didn't work out very well.
00:50:24So, how can Fallon turn Fatal's fortunes around?
00:50:27Listen, I think Fallon Henley has what it takes to pull the nose up on this thing.
00:50:30Good Lord!
00:50:32Give it that to you, Doug, Graves!
00:50:33Oh, Lash Legend out here already talking smack and now showcasing that power.
00:50:40She's a winner of six of her last seven singles matches.
00:50:43She's more focused than ever, but Booker, what truly is the next step for Lash in her career?
00:50:49She's on her own now.
00:50:50It's simple.
00:50:50The NXT Championship.
00:50:52That's what it's all about.
00:50:53But I'm going to tell you right now, winning that first singles championship,
00:50:56is the hardest one.
00:50:58It took me six years.
00:50:59Here we go.
00:51:00Here we go.
00:51:02Like I said, it took me six years to win a delegate for the championship.
00:51:04I'm going to tell you right now.
00:51:05Once that happens, that's when the floodgates are going to open for Lash Legend.
00:51:09So, in your opinion, Lash is ready to challenge for a championship.
00:51:13Of course.
00:51:14No doubt.
00:51:15She's ready right now.
00:51:16Well, talk about her confidence growing since Evolution.
00:51:19Graves, as you pointed up, she was the runner-up in that women's battle.
00:51:22Oh, I waited, baby.
00:51:23One by Stephanie Bacare.
00:51:25And, Graves, what has impressed you the most with Lash Legend?
00:51:28You saw her on SmackDown.
00:51:29Oh, listen, I've been watching Lash Legend for quite some time.
00:51:32And each time out, she impresses me a little bit more.
00:51:34And above all, it's the confidence.
00:51:35We know she's got the tool.
00:51:37We know she's got the power.
00:51:38But now Lash Legend is starting to believe in herself that she is ready.
00:51:42And that's what the utmost is.
00:51:44Oh, my God.
00:51:44Nice back break.
00:51:46But I've got to warn you guys, don't sleep on Fallon Henley.
00:51:49This is a former NXT Women's North American Champion.
00:51:51Fallon knows how to get the job done.
00:51:54Fallon right now trying to get back a nice blockbuster from the middle turnbuckle.
00:51:58Trying to turn things around right now.
00:52:00And, look, Graves, to your point, why doesn't J.C. even see her as an equal of sorts?
00:52:05Because J.C. Jane is the one draped in gold right now.
00:52:08Fallon Henley's tasted it in the past.
00:52:10I believe she'll taste it again in the future.
00:52:12But right now, everything's coming up J.C. Jane.
00:52:16Oh, look at this.
00:52:16Beautiful, baby.
00:52:18Fallon right now into the cover.
00:52:19Hook of the leg.
00:52:20Center of the ring.
00:52:21And Lash able to power out.
00:52:22In my opinion, Fallon Henley may be the most complete member of Fae Linflin.
00:52:27She just hasn't had the luck bounce her way in quite some time.
00:52:30I agree.
00:52:31Conversely, J.C. Jane, everything she's done has turned to gold recently.
00:52:34100%.
00:52:35I mean, I call Fallon Henley the pro.
00:52:37She's going to go out there and get the job done.
00:52:39And the question is, can she get the job done tonight?
00:52:42Because she's under a lot of pressure here tonight.
00:52:46Fae Linflin needs to win, man.
00:52:48And what's pressure due, Booker?
00:52:50Either it forces you to crumble or it forces you to become a diamond.
00:52:53You feel me?
00:52:53You feel me?
00:52:54Here we go.
00:52:55Balance.
00:52:56Boom.
00:52:56Beautiful work.
00:52:57Able to rock that bulldog.
00:52:59And now, maybe looking for the exclamation point.
00:53:03Oh, the power.
00:53:04Hoisted, caught, and overpowered.
00:53:07Turn it in.
00:53:07Nice, Hurricane Roddick running a little bit of separation.
00:53:10That great tenacity from Fallon, but shrugged off.
00:53:14Oh!
00:53:16Big forearm from Lash.
00:53:18And yeah, Lash is in there with a former women's North American champion and women's tag team champion.
00:53:23And now trying again to take out, take down.
00:53:28Big far away slam to Fallon.
00:53:30And I just looked up from the monitor.
00:53:32JC Jane is not very happy.
00:53:34She wasn't happy earlier tonight.
00:53:36And she's certainly not happy right now in this moment.
00:53:39Like Gravy said, you can't count Fallon Henley out.
00:53:41Oh!
00:53:42Oh, yeah.
00:53:42She might have to counter out now.
00:53:44My God.
00:53:45That was a gnarly, gnarly landing man.
00:53:47Nasty spill is the action right now.
00:53:50Getting a little bit.
00:53:51Whoa.
00:53:51Oh!
00:53:52Damn, it has not been a good night for Jasmine Nix.
00:53:56And for Fallon Henley, she might pay too right now.
00:54:00Flash Legend just imposing her will on fatal influence.
00:54:03Look out.
00:54:05Oh!
00:54:06Drop JC.
00:54:07Go!
00:54:07She's paid!
00:54:08Let's go!
00:54:09Nia!
00:54:10What's that hit?
00:54:11Jax!
00:54:12The irresistible force is here!
00:54:19I'm absolutely stunned.
00:54:21The referee didn't see Nia.
00:54:23This match is continuing.
00:54:24Famous, they're set on the ring.
00:54:26Fallon into the cover.
00:54:27And Fallon, with a fatal assist from Nia, steals it.
00:54:32Here's your winner.
00:54:34Fallon Henley!
00:54:36I am, I am, I am shook.
00:54:41Well, let's take a look at the closing moment.
00:54:43Flash Legend was wrecking shop.
00:54:45Everyone in fatal influence.
00:54:48Nia Jax from out of nowhere.
00:54:51Fallon Henley, the pro, capitalizing on the opportunity.
00:54:55Big hook in the lead.
00:54:57Big one, not just for Henley, but for all of them.
00:55:00Guys, guys, guys, guys, Nia Jax, not done yet.
00:55:05Hey, Graves, this is someone you know better than any of us.
00:55:08She's not going to let anyone talk down to her.
00:55:13Annihilator to the Bougie Bully.
00:55:16Nia Jax turning NXT upside down.
00:55:28An absolute shocker here on NXT.
00:55:33Well, we still got a lot to go here tonight.
00:55:39After these threw two through hands earlier, Evans is 100%, but can he rise to the occasion against Wesley?
00:55:47It's live.
00:55:48It's next on NXT.
00:55:49We might get loose enough.
00:55:51I'm lame.
00:55:51Yeah, I got me.
00:55:52I got me.
00:55:53I got me.
00:55:54I got me.
00:55:56I got me.
00:55:58I got me.
00:55:59I got me.
00:56:00I got me.
00:56:01I got me.
00:56:04I got me.
00:56:05I got me.
00:56:07I got me.
00:56:07I got me.
00:56:08I got me.
00:56:09I got me.
00:56:15Damn it.
00:56:17That was my only chance and he ruined it.
00:56:20Josh, you don't have an ounce of loyalty on him, do you?
00:56:23Yeah, yeah, dude, we know that, but I don't know when the next time I'm-
00:56:26What the hell?
00:56:26Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:56:33Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:56:34You wanna get that.
00:56:35Yo, yo, yo, listen.
00:56:36Family doesn't last forever.
00:56:39Loyalty and honor do not exist in this business.
00:56:42In the end, everyone gets theirs.
00:56:48You have an order.
00:56:50Next week, I will show you honor.
00:56:54Oh my God, are you okay?
00:57:03Back to NXT, and it is quite the look in the eyes.
00:57:09Of Javon Evans, and we've been joined here, ringside guys, by the TNA World Champion, the leader of Trick and A, none other than Trick Williams.
00:57:20Ooh, yeah. Let's talk about it.
00:57:22Welcome to ringside.
00:57:24It takes a hell of a man to pull off footwear like this.
00:57:27I can't give you any more compliment than that.
00:57:29I call it my limit, pepper, steppers.
00:57:31And his opponent, representing the high-rise, swinging at 170 pounds, Wesley!
00:57:43Oh, Wesley is looking at lemon pepper step all over Javon Evans in this matchup.
00:57:50I want to go back to actually what you said earlier, Trick.
00:57:52Why do you think Javon isn't ready to run with the big dog?
00:57:56He ain't no big dog.
00:57:57Everybody agree with Undertaker's whole knee-on?
00:58:00Whoa!
00:58:01There we go!
00:58:02There we go!
00:58:03We'll let you get back to that thought in a second, because Javon Evans possessed.
00:58:06He's upset with what happened earlier.
00:58:08It was a 4-1 beatdown that you took part in, and he was dropped with a cardiac kick, a lethal one,
00:58:13when he was being held by Tyson and Tyreek in the center of the ring.
00:58:16Well, if we're being honest, Javon did swing first.
00:58:18Well, yeah, I can't agree with that, but with Javon Evans, what do you mean, yeah?
00:58:22Yeah!
00:58:22You hear he's getting disrespected, and this matchup presented by Progressive,
00:58:27as it's Javon Evans going one-on-one with Wesley Booker.
00:58:30What do you think the speech from The Undertaker lit a new fire now under Javon?
00:58:34Of course, I mean, kid, shoot for the star.
00:58:37I mean, don't give up on the three and all of that.
00:58:40Of course I do, 100%.
00:58:42This kid has been so close, but tonight, he's in there with a professional in Wesley Man.
00:58:47We're speaking about The Undertaker.
00:58:48We're sitting right beside a man who, let's be honest, had the dead man shook last week in Houston.
00:58:53The Trick and the champion.
00:58:55That's right.
00:58:55End of the cover, hook of the leg, and a near fall.
00:58:57So I'll get back to what I was saying, Trick.
00:58:59Why do you think Javon isn't ready to run with the big dog?
00:59:02He's still a puppy, man.
00:59:03It takes years, years, years to be ready for a NXT title, for a TNA title, for a world title.
00:59:10You don't just fall into these things, man.
00:59:12I kissed your whip behind the ears, man.
00:59:13I kissed your whip behind the ears.
00:59:15I got some simulac for him in the car.
00:59:17A couple of body shots.
00:59:19Nice drop kick to the back of Javon Evans.
00:59:22Trick, I got to ask you, how tired are your shoulders?
00:59:25How sore is your back carrying?
00:59:26Not one, but two brands at the same time.
00:59:29Let me tell you something, man.
00:59:30It ain't easy.
00:59:31Trick, it ain't never been easy.
00:59:32But I'm the right hand for the job.
00:59:35Well, look, Booker.
00:59:36Evans can't be thrilled that Wes thinks he's going to take him out here tonight.
00:59:40And it's the same moment earned his boys on the outside.
00:59:44Tyson and Tyreek, a TNA tag team title opportunity.
00:59:47Let me tell you something.
00:59:48If this young OG don't watch his back tonight, he's very jealous.
00:59:52He could end up in the hospital.
00:59:53Let me tell you something.
00:59:55Wes, he's looking to prove a point.
00:59:56He's looking to prove a point here tonight.
00:59:58You know, we saw The Undertaker last week talking to Javon Evans.
01:00:01Yes, we saw what The Undertaker happened with you, Trick Wims.
01:00:04I don't want to bring that up.
01:00:05Now, I actually want to ask you, Corey.
01:00:07If you go back to your days in NXT, what would it have meant to you to get advice
01:00:11like Javon Evans if someone liked The Undertaker?
01:00:13You're talking about The Undertaker, a man who needs no introduction.
01:00:16One of, if not the greatest WWE superstars of all time.
01:00:20You have to take what the dead man says to heart.
01:00:22But we're also sitting beside a man who had the guts to stand toe-to-to-toe
01:00:27with The Reaper and showed no fear.
01:00:29It was inspiring, Trick.
01:00:30I was inspired.
01:00:31That's right.
01:00:31That's a big dog.
01:00:32It's my yard now.
01:00:33NXT is my yard, man.
01:00:34Well, look, on that topic, Trick, Undertaker taught some lessons to Javon Evans last week.
01:00:39Did anything sit and stick with you that was maybe taught to you by The Undertaker?
01:00:44Yeah, man.
01:00:44Keep your head on the slip.
01:00:46I let my foot off the gas.
01:00:47A little bit too early.
01:00:48That's all.
01:00:49You know, my thing is The Undertaker has to go out there and stick up for his future breaks.
01:00:54And my thing is, wow, wow, why did he have to take that?
01:00:58Don't bring your LFG anger to NXT.
01:01:00Why could he have that wonderful young club go out there and get the job done?
01:01:01You know why?
01:01:02Because Craig Williams would have whooped one of their asses.
01:01:06That's what would have happened.
01:01:07Graves is shining his boots right now.
01:01:09Listen, man.
01:01:09Can we get a kick?
01:01:10Get over here.
01:01:11It's tricking Nate, man.
01:01:12What you think's supposed to happen?
01:01:14Pippin' ain't easy.
01:01:15Pippin' ain't easy, man.
01:01:16The Godfather's not here right now, but Wesley certainly is.
01:01:19And he has taken it to Javon Evans in this matchup.
01:01:23And, Booker, does Wes see a younger version of himself in Javon Evans?
01:01:27No doubt.
01:01:28I mean, he has to because I'm going to tell you right now.
01:01:30I remember being the youngest guy in the locker room over there actually a year ago.
01:01:33Oh!
01:01:34We see a young prodigy like this young man.
01:01:37The young man is coming home.
01:01:38And right there, he's getting a lot of praise, shouting at his desk.
01:01:42I get it.
01:01:43He's going up.
01:01:44Javon Evans, he's going to go it up.
01:01:46You're not doing that.
01:01:47Oh, yeah, Tyson Tyreek here on the outside.
01:01:51That's right.
01:01:52A little bit of a distraction just opened the door for Wesley.
01:01:56Nasty still.
01:01:57The young OG still has a lot to learn.
01:01:59You can't take your eye off the ball when you're dealing with someone as dangerous as Wesley.
01:02:05Call him Similek.
01:02:07Wesley back in control.
01:02:09Who will be victorious on NXT?
01:02:17Well, this has been a roller coaster of a year for Javon Evans.
01:02:27There was the injury, there's been championship matches.
01:02:30There was the main event at Stand and Deliver against Utrecht Williams along with Obafemi,
01:02:35the current and reigning NXT champion.
01:02:39I think the thing is, nobody's doubting Javon Evans or what Javon's capable of.
01:02:43I think everybody agrees simultaneously.
01:02:46The future is extremely bright for the young OG, but to Trick's point, he's just not ready yet.
01:02:51He's not ready to knock off someone the caliber of Trickwood.
01:02:55He's been proven.
01:02:56I mean, the young OG's has so many chances to actually cash in, and he's coming up just a little bit short.
01:03:02And like I say all the time, there are levels.
01:03:04There are levels to this game.
01:03:05That's all we're trying to say.
01:03:07You know, he's just a little too big for his britches.
01:03:09And not that he without talent, but it takes the—you got to be the dog to get the big title, man.
01:03:15Well, there's no doubt that you have been carrying, as you've said, two brands on your shoulders.
01:03:19I've seen what you've done at TNA.
01:03:21We've seen what you've done here at NXT.
01:03:22I heard what you had to say earlier tonight.
01:03:24I wonder if Obafemi heard what you had to say, Trick?
01:03:28I hope he did.
01:03:29Because I ain't wishing.
01:03:30Do you know?
01:03:31Wesley putting it on this boy right now, just systematically breaking it.
01:03:37Innovative offense right into a cover in the center of the ring.
01:03:41And that right shoulder just getting off the mat.
01:03:43Talk about talent and ability to spare.
01:03:46Look at that.
01:03:47We just saw next-level athleticism out of Wesley, and he didn't even—
01:03:52It looked effortless.
01:03:53He looked like a young Jim Kelly.
01:03:55I was just thinking the same thing.
01:03:56Into the dragon.
01:03:57Into the dragon, dog.
01:03:59Like samurai.
01:04:02Wesley taking it to Javon Evans as the NXT universe right now is trying to rally behind
01:04:08the young OG.
01:04:10Tyson, Tyreek of high-rise here on the outside.
01:04:13Tripp Williams, the TNA World Champion.
01:04:17Joining us ringside.
01:04:18A little bit of wasteland from West, and you see the agony on the face of Javon.
01:04:24I'm going to ask you, Trick.
01:04:25How do you think Santino Lorella, the TNA Director of Authority, is going to fare in that
01:04:30North American Championship match in our main event?
01:04:33I don't care nothing about that match.
01:04:34I know he better say my name right.
01:04:36What's it, Trippie Williams?
01:04:38What's it, Trippie Williams?
01:04:39Say my name right, man.
01:04:40Put some respect to the TNA champion.
01:04:41Well, that's something that you and he can talk about maybe later tonight or maybe on
01:04:47TNA in the locker.
01:04:48I'm not going to say, what am I going to say?
01:04:49You're talking to the man who is the face of TNA wrestling.
01:04:51I'm not the one calling him Trick Williams.
01:04:53I've been calling him Trick Williams.
01:04:54Everything I've done for that brand, he can't say my name right?
01:04:56Where I'm from, that's considered this.
01:04:58Oh!
01:04:59You're lucky you don't got no match with me.
01:05:00That is.
01:05:01Hey, boy!
01:05:02Westside.
01:05:04Westside.
01:05:05Into a pin, a hook of a leg.
01:05:07Beautiful, too, baby.
01:05:09Beautiful, too.
01:05:10You don't want it two, you want it three.
01:05:11Let me tell you something.
01:05:12Westside, this guy's an ultra, ultra talented, ultra, ultra talented young man.
01:05:17How many ultras was that?
01:05:18Five.
01:05:19It's a five?
01:05:20I get what you're doing there.
01:05:21Five times.
01:05:22Five times.
01:05:23Five times ultra, ultra.
01:05:25Westside with a front face lock controlling the pace of this matchup.
01:05:28He's been in control of Javon Evans, who is not at 100% after what happened earlier tonight.
01:05:33Can Javon Evans fight back?
01:05:35Can he bounce back?
01:05:36Can he get back?
01:05:37End of this matchup.
01:05:38Looking for a win.
01:05:39Westside with Wesley in control on NXT.
01:05:45It has been all Westside in this matchup.
01:05:49Javon Evans trying his best to overcome the odds.
01:05:52Trick Williams, the TNA World Champion, sitting to my left, joining us here on commentary.
01:05:57And this happened, Graves.
01:05:58Let's go back to during the break.
01:06:01Phenomenal athleticism on display by Wesley.
01:06:05A twisting senton making it look just too easy.
01:06:09Like a young Jim Kelly, y'all.
01:06:10If anyone can counter Javon, it certainly is Wesley.
01:06:16But Trick, you seem to have some big plans by focusing on becoming two-title Trick.
01:06:22Hey, can you think of someone better?
01:06:23What better way to submit my legacy here at NXT than doing it two times with two different brands?
01:06:29Chicken poop brands.
01:06:30Let's talk about it.
01:06:31He's in trouble, guys.
01:06:33He's in trouble right now.
01:06:35Power being flexed by him.
01:06:36Nice counter, though.
01:06:39There's Wesley inside.
01:06:40Cradle, shoulder down.
01:06:42And just able to kick out.
01:06:43And right now, again, what Wesley said, if he's able to win, he's hoping that you, Trick,
01:06:47are going to be able to secure a tag team title opportunity for Tyson and Tyreek.
01:06:51Those titles now held by the Hardys.
01:06:54All you have to do with that, man, is Trick and that.
01:06:56Do what I want, Dan.
01:06:57There's a lot of energy going for that.
01:07:01Still in the game, though, guys.
01:07:03Hey, Graves, with everything that's gone on,
01:07:05are we starting to witness the evolution of the young OG?
01:07:09Time will truly tell.
01:07:11But right now, Evans certainly looking to turn the tides in this matchup.
01:07:15Snap German suplex.
01:07:17Well, Wesley looks like he's out on his feet.
01:07:20Javon Evans now.
01:07:23Trying to find that different gear.
01:07:27Trying to find that different layer.
01:07:30Listen to this place.
01:07:31On a night, we saw Nia Jax come out of absolutely nowhere.
01:07:35You can expect the unexpected here on NXT.
01:07:38And this match has been quite a fair.
01:07:41Oh, my goodness.
01:07:42What a right.
01:07:43Javon just hit Wesley so hard he forgot his own name.
01:07:45Bam!
01:07:46And again on the chin.
01:07:48What I like about this kid right here?
01:07:50He's about to sit in the pocket.
01:07:52Oh, yeah, baby.
01:07:53And that could be enough.
01:07:54Into the cover.
01:07:55Hook of the leg.
01:07:56Looking for the through.
01:07:57Oh, wow.
01:07:59I'll tell you what, I've said it before, but Javon Evans is hitting Wesley so hard he's going to think his name is Desmond when he wakes up.
01:08:06Ha, finally, Timalak.
01:08:10Javon, Wesley.
01:08:12These two came here tonight not knowing they were going to have a match.
01:08:15And what a match they are having.
01:08:17NXT!
01:08:18NXT!
01:08:18NXT!
01:08:19NXT!
01:08:19Just listen to the crowd here at NXT.
01:08:23Right on the butt.
01:08:28In Graves 2, we've talked a lot about, oh, Javon Evans, who just got spiked and planted.
01:08:33But this match could go a long way for Wesley in reopening the eyes of our general manager.
01:08:37It might be game over.
01:08:40West side!
01:08:42West side!
01:08:44Come on!
01:08:45He's got that left shoulder up.
01:08:48Not quite time yet.
01:08:50And what's Wesley thinking, though, right now, Book?
01:08:52The thing is, half the damage has been done.
01:08:55That's what Wesley should be thinking.
01:08:57Finish it!
01:08:58Finish the job, though.
01:08:59Bring it home.
01:09:00West going all the way to the top.
01:09:03Looking for high risk.
01:09:05It did not pay off.
01:09:07And, oh, West got caught.
01:09:08And now Javon.
01:09:10Give a zillion.
01:09:11What's Javon thinking right now?
01:09:16He's trying to keep his feet underneath it.
01:09:19Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:09:21There's a crazy look in the eyes of the young OG.
01:09:25Calm down, man.
01:09:26Calm down, man.
01:09:27That ain't riffing.
01:09:28That ain't riffing.
01:09:29No way.
01:09:31Uh-oh.
01:09:33Oh!
01:09:35A new twist on the coast to coast.
01:09:39And Evans now.
01:09:40Holy shit!
01:09:41Holy shit!
01:09:43Holy shit!
01:09:44Holy shit!
01:09:45Get strongy!
01:09:50Come on, man.
01:09:51Come on.
01:09:53Oh, no!
01:09:55Wow!
01:09:55Wait!
01:09:57Did you see that coming?
01:09:58I didn't see that coming, guys.
01:09:59How?
01:10:00That's a testament to the guts and the grit of West Lee.
01:10:04Look at the NXT universe right now rising to their collective feet
01:10:08for the young OG, for West Lee.
01:10:10Rick, you got something on your head.
01:10:12I know that ain't threat.
01:10:13Man, I ain't gonna lie.
01:10:14He's showing me something right now.
01:10:16Get up!
01:10:16Get up!
01:10:17Get down!
01:10:19Well, Javon, again, does not have the numbers advantage
01:10:22with Tyson and Tyreek there on the outside.
01:10:26Oh, but Evans took his eye off the ball for just a moment.
01:10:30Javon right now.
01:10:31Hey!
01:10:32That's how you do it.
01:10:33Again, the rest of High Rise.
01:10:35Come on, man.
01:10:36Oh, yeah, they might be thinking twice at this juncture.
01:10:39And whoop!
01:10:41West Lee was safe, but he's safe.
01:10:43No more!
01:10:44Wow!
01:10:46You talk about a High Rise.
01:10:49Look at Javon.
01:10:52Young OG back in the ring.
01:10:53Got caught for a second inside cradle.
01:10:55Will this be enough?
01:10:56That's right.
01:10:56That's right.
01:10:57Oh, man.
01:10:58That was great.
01:10:59Oh, big elbow from Evans.
01:11:02Coming right back in.
01:11:03Oh!
01:11:04Oh, yeah.
01:11:04That's how you finish the deal.
01:11:07That's how you're making the green.
01:11:08That's it!
01:11:09Oh, my God!
01:11:10Javon's long range just saved his rear end.
01:11:14Not only that, I think the cover from Wes Lee
01:11:16carried Javon too far over.
01:11:18That was a mistake right there.
01:11:20You're in awareness lacking in that instance for Wes Lee.
01:11:24A deep, aggressive hook of the leg may have cost him.
01:11:28Wes Lee's a second official, but he did his job.
01:11:31And now Evans went behind getting in here far.
01:11:33What a mess.
01:11:34Cutter!
01:11:35Cutter!
01:11:36Cutter!
01:11:36Cutter!
01:11:38And Javon to the top!
01:11:45One, two, three!
01:11:47Evans overcomes Tyron.
01:11:52Here's your winner, Javon Aziz!
01:11:57Trent Williams just threw his headset off in anger, in disgust,
01:12:03but what a mess.
01:12:04It's left all of our jaws on the floor.
01:12:08Evans from the heavens, taking a high rise on the outside
01:12:12and getting bouncy, Cutter-style.
01:12:17Big win for the young OG.
01:12:22Evans has been setting his sights on gold
01:12:25as he stares at Trent.
01:12:28And there is the ruler!
01:12:31Looking down at Trent Williams.
01:12:34And Javon Evans, the ruler, looking down at those who are standing in his yard.
01:12:44Still to come, in our main event, in a matter of moments,
01:12:48the NXT North American Championship is on the line
01:12:52as the self-proclaimed greatest North American Ethan Page defense against TNA's director of authority,
01:13:00Santino Morella.
01:13:03Time for tonight's NXT Focus, presented by Progressive.
01:13:15Miles, thanks for taking the time to sit with me.
01:13:17You and I have talked in the past, we've talked about your hearing disability,
01:13:20but today I want to talk about Lexus King.
01:13:23I see the look on your face, I know it's Lexus King,
01:13:25but the things he's said, the things he has done,
01:13:28it has to hurt you just a little bit.
01:13:31Lexus King, he's just stirring the pot.
01:13:34Contrary to what Lexus believes, I am mostly deaf.
01:13:37I was born with persistent pulmonary hypertension, Vic.
01:13:40You know, I was actually med-flighted immediately to a hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
01:13:44And on that flight, I flatlined twice.
01:13:47So the doctors only gave me a 50% chance to live.
01:13:49And my family, they knew this,
01:13:51and they had to take into consideration that I might not make it.
01:13:54So they had me put on a machine that would keep me alive,
01:13:57because as my mom said, nothing was working.
01:13:59Now that machine, by the grace of God, when they unplugged it,
01:14:04my heart started working on its own for the very first time.
01:14:07Now, that machine was called a ventilator.
01:14:09And that ventilator had radiation.
01:14:10And the radiation, although it's kept me alive,
01:14:13it also took 90% of my bilateral hearing.
01:14:17What exactly does that mean?
01:14:19So basically, it means that I lost 90% hearing in both ears, Vic.
01:14:23Well, growing up, it must have been difficult,
01:14:25but it still has to be a struggle to communicate.
01:14:30Communication has never really been my thing, Vic.
01:14:32You know, at a young age, I had to teach myself how to read lips.
01:14:35I didn't start speaking until I was four years old.
01:14:38Now, I won't do this to you,
01:14:39but growing up, I used to grab my parents' face
01:14:41and point them towards me so I could read their lips.
01:14:43And in car rides, I would even have them put the rearview mirror on their faces
01:14:47so that I could understand what they're saying while we're driving.
01:14:50So reading lips is basically like a cheat code for me.
01:14:52It helped me communicate and understand.
01:14:55Lips, hand movement, body language, anything and everything helps.
01:14:58Look, man, you have such a great perspective
01:15:00perspective on everything that you've been through, through life.
01:15:03What did you say, Vic?
01:15:06I'm just messing with you.
01:15:08You see, I choose to have fun with this.
01:15:10That's the way you got to deal with things in life.
01:15:12There's always going to be someone like a lesser king,
01:15:14someone who doesn't get it or don't believe you.
01:15:17And the truth is, you can't let people like that win
01:15:20because then they have power over you.
01:15:22What you got to do is you got to keep moving forward with your life,
01:15:24keep moving forward with your day,
01:15:25and block people like that out.
01:15:27At least that's what I did.
01:15:30Well, look, man, I appreciate you taking time
01:15:32and sharing your story.
01:15:33Good luck to you.
01:15:34Looking forward to calling your next match right here in NXT.
01:15:39Yeah, so we spoke to medical
01:15:41and Ricky has a bruised sternum, no broken ribs.
01:15:44I mean, he'll be back in no time.
01:15:46All right, Jordan Gray, she should be thanking the heavens
01:15:49for that strong neck of hers.
01:15:50She may be in the neck brace for a little bit,
01:15:52but she avoided some serious, serious spinal injuries.
01:15:55All right, great.
01:15:56Well, thank you guys.
01:15:57This is ridiculous.
01:15:58What?
01:15:59Are you guys really believing all this crap?
01:16:00What?
01:16:01What are you talking about?
01:16:01Did you just see the sit-down interview with Miles Bourne
01:16:03and his sob story about being deaf?
01:16:06Ava, he's not deaf.
01:16:07We all know that.
01:16:09What he is is a con man, a charlatan, a phony,
01:16:12and you rubes are falling for it.
01:16:14Wow, big word.
01:16:15Ava, if Miles was deaf, then how can he wrestle?
01:16:19Okay, yeah, if Miles is deaf, then I'm as blind as a bat.
01:16:23Lexus, you are so, so many things.
01:16:26But what you are next week is in action against Miles Bourne,
01:16:31the guy you got a problem with.
01:16:32Great.
01:16:33And I'll get to prove he's just as much of a fraud
01:16:35inside the ring as he is out of it.
01:16:37Sure, I guess.
01:16:40Whatever makes him feel better.
01:16:41A great call by Ava.
01:16:43Next week, NXT just got a little bit more stacked
01:16:47as Blake Monroe, the glamorous one,
01:16:50goes one-on-one with Kalani Jordan.
01:16:53Talk about being stacked, Graves.
01:16:55How about not one, but two championships
01:16:57will be defended next week.
01:16:58As friendship, no more.
01:17:00Can Tatum Paxley bring gold back to the culling?
01:17:03Or can Ruka snatch her Seoul Women's North American title
01:17:07on the line next Tuesday?
01:17:09And there was no sneak attack with steel chairs needed
01:17:13for this one to be made official.
01:17:15Chase Youth has earned themselves an opportunity
01:17:18to challenge Tank and Tank for the NXT Tag Team title.

01:20:05bringing in at 240 pounds he is the nxt north american champion
01:20:15and i think that it's a very great sign of i don't know what to think vic it's his chance he changed the
01:20:25color of the leather it's about what the title represents and that's what's important he's the
01:20:29champion of all of north america he's my north american champion he's your north american champion
01:20:49he's he's people in mexico's north american champion it's important to recognize that i i understand where
01:20:55you're coming from he's a proud canadian patriot he is he said he was born in canada he was made in america
01:21:00i didn't say that it's true tell me what he said he said he was made in america
01:21:04he's his prerogative this isn't bobby brown out here booker what do you mean my prerogative man
01:21:08i mean the title is one thing north american championship but the uh-oh uh-oh crucifix for the title
01:21:15that's only gonna take three seconds and look booker how tough is santino morella
01:21:20i'll tell you something santino morella i mean he's the official ambassador
01:21:23side cradle shoulders are down another day and official ambassador of judah in canada i mean he's
01:21:27the founder of battle of scat i mean this guy has won gold i mean united states champion
01:21:32entertainment champion tag team champion the thing is this is a young man's game
01:21:38eat the pages of the pride of his career right now it's time to take a look at tonight's nxt recap
01:21:44presented by progressive as i mentioned first match on a wb program since june of 2014 for santino morella
01:21:52former two-time intercontinental champion let's say let's say let's just say it won the intercontinental
01:21:59title on his first night on raw in italy back on april 16th 2007 can a miracle happen tonight
01:22:06because he got your stand sheet i mean of course i mean santino he's done a lot in this business but like i
01:22:11say it's a young man's game and ethan page right now come on give it to him he's on top of his game
01:22:16all right well great does santino deserve the blame for both tna world titles being in nxt we've always
01:22:22talked about the locker room would say to those who were carrying those titles but how about the man that
01:22:26signed the matches and made him official i certainly believe that to a degree santino deserves some of the blame i mean
01:22:32santino can't go out and compete for those championships on anyone's behalf whoa there's
01:22:37definitely some sideways stairs in the locker room another cover quick kick out so bookers
01:22:43this is a must win almost for santino morella to bring as he goes into another cover the hell is he
01:22:48talking about wwe nxt title to tna to lift the morale of the company you must be insane if you think
01:22:56santino morella is gonna beat ethan page only thing you can hope for is that you still got it jay
01:23:03that's all that's about it didn't we already have that we already have one of those books i mean
01:23:08santino morella's been in this matchup ethan page right now is weathered this early storm
01:23:13is that it why are you getting it here's what i want to know vick why why it's not okay or less than acceptable
01:23:21for ethan page to have a canadian thief north american championship yet the man who's trying
01:23:26to take the championship back to tna with him is also canadian i mean come on it's like he said
01:23:31last week that being saved tino morella he has dignity he has honor he's prideful he represents
01:23:36everything opposite of ethan page shoulders down in another near what is more prideful than turning
01:23:41the championship into the nation's flag the nation from whence he came
01:23:46is his brother is his brother he can do what he wants to do that's his buzzword tonight let's get to
01:23:51the replay big booth by ethan page kicking the smile off of santino's face and it's about to get worse
01:23:57from here well if you compare the two many feel that santino would make a great north american
01:24:03north american let me tell you something into another cover by ethan page and a kick out i like
01:24:09santino morella i mean he's he's a hell of a guy he's a hell of a guy but he should not be in this
01:24:15match he could get hurt the bigger implications guys i think we're missing the point here if santino
01:24:24morella becomes nxt north american championship that means one of our championships is going to show up on
01:24:30on their show and we're going to feel the sting the pain that that the tna world championship has felt
01:24:36and that the knockouts championship has felt and that's what i was trying to get to when booker was
01:24:40screaming at me prerogative of this and prerogative of that that this is almost a must win if you're
01:24:44thinking of the tna locker room for the director of authority who signed those two matches and then cost
01:24:50them so to speak that is you just said director of authority do you think that santino morella
01:24:56could have actually put somebody else in this match instead of himself right right he wanted to do it
01:25:02himself it's not like you haven't put yourself in the matches down at reality of wrestling is now
01:25:06hoisting up ethan page maybe vick's just holding out hope for a new edition of the nxt north american
01:25:12championship around we go
01:25:18and it says oh santino couldn't stay on his feet trying to stay in this match but look as i said
01:25:24many feel santino would make a great north american championship he would have done it

01:26:04north american champion at our next premium live event nxt heatwave august 24th in roll oh there we go
