Transcript

00:00Dos, tres, cuatro.

00:01That certainly qualifies as big thoughts from Minamora.

00:05If you want to come get it, I hit heavy.

00:08What do you mean? You forget it, call the medic.

00:10The following is an evolution eliminator!

00:17Introducing first, from Miami, Florida, Lola VICE!

00:24Corey, how can Lola use Worlds Collide as a confidence builder tonight?

00:30I think Lola VICE understands that Worlds Collide was a global event.

00:33She had more eyes on her than perhaps any other point in her career.

00:37Carlay that momentum from a tag team victory alongside none other than Stephanie Bacare

00:41and change your own career for the better.

00:57And from Austin, Texas!

01:00Jordan Grace!

01:03And let's set the stage.

01:05Parker, Lash, now Izzy have moved on.

01:08This is the final spot for next week's Fatal 4-Way

01:12to determine the number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship,

01:16which will take place at WWE Evolution.

01:19I caught up with Jordan Grace earlier today, asked her what the opportunity to compete at Evolution could mean for her career.

01:38And Jordan said, I've led women's locker rooms in the past.

01:41She considers herself a pioneer, to a degree, of locker rooms outside of WWE.

01:46But Jordan Grace understands that until you do it in the biggest stage, on the grandest stage, it doesn't necessarily count.

01:53So Jordan wants to use that opportunity to show her brand to the entire globe.

01:57Well, I wanna build off what Corey just said, Booker.

01:59Is Jordan Grace at a crucial point in her NXT tank?

02:01Definitely, I think she had a crucial point, but this match is more crucial than anything, I think, for Jordan Grace.

02:07Correct me, Greg, if I'm wrong, this is the first time these two have met Marie, right?

02:11That's correct, yes.

02:12I mean, that right there definitely gonna tell a lot about this matchup, right?

02:15Who's been studying, who has the best game plan, who has the best IQ, that's gonna tell us a lot in this matchup, right here, guys.

02:21And I know it's been a recurring theme all night, Booker, talking about these superstars utilizing different wrinkles,

02:26different techniques, new moves.

02:28I think we've seen that out of Lola Vice every time she competes.

02:31If she shows Jordan Grace something new, Lola Vice may punch her ticket.

02:34Well, we're gonna see how much Lola's gonna rely on her MMA background.

02:37Is she gonna have to use that to counter some of Grace's strength?

02:41Well, you asked for it, you got it, educated, deep right there, from Lola Vice.

02:46Can we see it?

02:47Are we gonna get a look to win the green on top?

02:51And Lola Vice sending a message to the women's locker room who will earn

03:02the final spot next week.

03:05Yeah!

03:11Jordan Grace just got rocked by Lola Vice.

03:19And you know, Graves, when you take a look at, I suppose this matchup is a quick kick, a cover, and a kick out.

03:27Do some people view Jordan Grace's tenure this far?

03:29As I asked Booker, somewhat of a failure, because you mentioned having led locker rooms,

03:34having been champion, and you can hear the frustration, can't you, in her voice?

03:37Definitely, but I would absolutely not use the word failure as pertains to Jordan Grace.

03:42I just think there was so much hype, there's such a high bar set that Grace came in with a lot of hype,

03:47and maybe she hasn't lived up to what some of the WWE Universe has expected to this point.

03:53With that said, all it takes is a couple of Ws in a row, maybe a championship win,

03:57and it changes the entire narrative about what Jordan Grace is doing.

04:00Well, a win here tonight, Booker, a win next week, and what would be a fatal four-way,

04:04would put Jordan Grace at WWE Evolution with a possible championship opportunity, yet again.

04:09I mean, this biz has always been about, what have you done for me lately?

04:14And that's what Jordan Grace is truly all about.

04:16I mean, Jordan stepped in to NXT.

04:18I mean, I'm sure she thought the competition would be a little bit easier, perhaps.

04:23But right now, that was a rude awakening.

04:25Gotta stick to the game, man.

04:27And you asked the question about Jordan Grace.

04:31I would say almost the opposite is true for Lola Vice.

04:35Coming from the mixed martial arts world, not everybody that translates has success.

04:39Not everybody can make that crossover to the level of some superstars we've seen in the past.

04:43But Lola Vice continues to improve steadily each and every time out.

04:46And Lola Vice going up.

04:47God, uh-oh, uh-oh.

04:48Talk about that strength, Lola sensing it, able to get low, able to take the vertical base out.

04:54I think Lola might have a knee bar locked in.

04:56I can't quite see from this angle.

04:57I don't necessarily know if that last leg, that left leg is wrapped around fully.

05:01And look at Jordan Grace, able to overpower, trying to get Lola's shoulders down.

05:05Did in a kick out, but Lola did not relinquish the hold.

05:08I don't know if it's, is it a knee bar or is it an ankle lock?

05:11I can't get a great view on it either way, no doubt.

05:14You can tell by the expression on Jordan Grace's face, it's extremely painful.

05:17Able to break the hold and grab it onto that left knee.

05:20And that will be something we're gonna keep our eye on throughout this match,

05:23because it does appear that Lola has been trying to use Booker, that MMA background,

05:27that submission style to certain degrees to counter the strength of Jordan Grace.

05:33Talk about the success of the ladies.

05:35I mean, and Lola Vice had success early here in NXT breakout tournament winner.

05:40And that right there could give you that cloak of invincibility.

05:43But like Corey said, a loss here, a loss there could totally change your mindset.

05:49Sterna curves into the turnbuckle and again.

05:53And Lola Vice not able to get her hands up because she's caught backslide.

05:57Lola, yeah man.

06:00There was a little green on that one there, Brooke.

06:02Hot man.

06:03Winner of this matchup heads to next week.

06:06This is the final Evolution Eliminator here tonight as holding on to the top rope is Lola Vice.

06:12By any means necessary.

06:14No, just got pulled away.

06:16The power on display.

06:17Nice counter though by Lola.

06:19Yeah, looks like Lola might be looking for some type of head scissor here.

06:21Can't tell if it's cinched in properly.

06:26And I thought she was gonna try to maybe move around her hands a little bit,

06:29try to switch position to get maybe the octopus locked in.

06:33But instead, she's just holding on for dear life.

06:37Jordan Grace trying to power out, trying to break this hole.

06:40Able to do so for a moment.

06:43Jumping out, looking for another submission.

06:45Lola, cinched it in.

06:47That's a guillotine.

06:47Looking for a tap.

06:49Looking for a tap.

06:55Guillotine cinched in deep and again.

06:58Jordan Grace not able to overpower the first time.

07:00Not able to overpower again.

07:02Almost looking for some right hands.

07:04Grace just able to slip through, find a way to get away, and now create a little separation.

07:09It's time now to look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive.

07:13Over goes Jordan Grace.

07:17Got caught, hoisted up.

07:20Drops center of the ring.

07:21Grace falls into the forearm, falls into the cover to head to next week.

07:26And a kick out.

07:27At what point, Booker, also does someone start to press a little much in the ring?

07:33If you think about Jordan Grace and everything she has done to get to this point,

07:36every NXT Women's Championship match she has been in.

07:39Because you can see agony on her face.

07:41I mean, she's gonna press.

07:42I mean, she's gotta leave it all on the line because this is a big stake,

07:45high stakes match right here.

07:47We're talking about it, this is for evolution.

07:49This is for a chance, for a shot.

07:51And right, you don't wanna let something like that go.

07:54Trust me on that.

07:55And now looking for a little Grace under pressure.

07:58And again, it's countered another time.

08:00Wait a minute.

08:01Triangle.

08:02And Jordan Grace reaching out.

08:04She is so close, yet so far away from that bottom rope.

08:07Grace, look at the body position of Lola Vice.

08:09Lola Vice just needs to pass the shoulder under Jordan Grace's chin,

08:12and it lights out for the Juggernaut.

08:14This is that MMA's background we were talking about, Booker.

08:16Lola Vice is letting it all hang out here tonight, man.

08:19Trying to squeeze.

08:20Talking about adding something new to the game.

08:23That's Lola Vice.

08:23Oh, man.

08:24But the power is the name of the game for Jordan Grace.

08:29And I looked up from my monitor.

08:31You can see Jordan.

08:32She's holding her chest.

08:33She's holding her left knee.

08:34She's holding an arm.

08:35She is being dissected by Lola Vice.

08:37No doubt.

08:37Jordan Grace tomorrow morning will be the best fight tonight with the power.

08:42The Juggernaut's wheelhouse, if you will.

08:45The game changer there, and the reason this match is still going on.

08:49It's up in the air.

08:50This match is up in the air right now, guys.

08:51We gotta give some appreciation to our general manager, Ava, making sure NXT is

08:55part of the second WWE Evolution.

08:57What a beast mode.

08:58What I like about what Ava's done, nobody's getting a free ride here.

09:01No exceptions.

09:03I love that, man.

09:04Well, Jordan Grace at first did not succeed trying to change her game.

09:08All these women matches tonight have been hard-hitting affairs.

09:15Because all of these women understand what's at stake.

09:18The next step.

09:19One major step in the direction of Atlanta, Georgia, and the historic Evolution event.

09:26But it all begins tonight.

09:27Oh, wait a minute.

09:28Check it out.

09:29Looking for an armbar, perhaps.

09:30Looking for another submission, definitely.

09:32And Lola has been so close to gold in the past.

09:36She believes she's one opportunity away.

09:38My gosh.

09:41To borrow a line from one of the greats, that won't separate your shoulders.

09:44Big kick, that's the knockout.

09:46That's it.

09:47Lola is headed to next week.

09:51Wow.

09:53Wow is right.

09:55Jordan Grace may have a broken arm, guys.

09:57That's it.

09:59Lola Vice now.

10:00She knows it.

10:01She can feel it.

10:02She needs that one opportunity.

10:05Looking for the knockout blow.

10:07She got caught.

10:08Grace now hoisted up.

10:09You gotta be kidding me.

10:11It wasn't pretty.

10:12It was effective.

10:13Stretch muffler-esque.

10:14And then beast mode activated by Jordan Grace.

10:17And with grace and perseverance, Jordan rounds out the field next week.

10:23There is your winner, Jordan Grace.

10:29Take nothing away from Lola Vice and what we just witnessed.

10:33Jordan Grace was in for a fight.

10:35Jordan Grace was in for a battle.

10:37Jordan Grace survived.

10:39We asked how Lola Vice continues to build momentum.

10:42She took a massive step, even in defeat.

10:45That could have long-term damage for the shoulder of Jordan Grace.

10:50I thought this was it.

10:51Most of the arena thought this was it, but somehow the juggernaut pulls through.

10:57And a great counter by Jordan.

10:59Unique suplex opened the door for Grace to slam it shut by engaging beast mode.

11:07Lights out Lola Vice.

11:09Jordan Grace joins the field and an opportunity to head to evolution is at stake next week.

11:17Izzy Dame, Jada Parker, Lash Legend, and Jordan Grace.

11:22There are their four women.

11:24Let's go back throughout this entire night here on NXT.

11:27It all started with Jada Parker.

11:30Jada with the phantom tap, so to speak.

11:33Thea Hale thought she won.

11:35Referee didn't see it.

11:36And then BAM!

11:37That hit Matic.

11:38Jada Parker punched her ticket to next week.

11:41Jada Parker out started.

11:43Thea Hale pulled one over the official.

11:45And then we saw Kalani Jordan go one-on-one with Lash Legend.

11:50In the end, it was the power of Lash that made all the difference.

11:55Lash Legend heading to the fatal four-way.

11:59Those were the first two not to be outdone.

12:01It was a hard-eating matchup.

12:02Zarya heard Soul scream because of Tatum on the outside.

12:06And what happened?

12:07Izzy Dame made her pay with that sky high.

12:12Into the cover and it was Izzy Dame who is the third woman tonight to punch her ticket.

12:17But not to be outdone moments ago.

12:20Beast mode from Jordan Grace driving Lola Vice high on her neck and shoulders.

12:26And Grace earns her entry.

12:29And that now sets up next week.

12:31One woman will earn an NXT championship match in Atlanta at WWE Evolution.
