00:00The revolution

00:20The following contest is sketch up for one fall

00:24Introduce you first from New Orleans, Louisiana

00:27Bring in at 200 pounds, Ricky Sainz!

00:39Ricky Sainz, cleared and ready to compete here tonight

00:57I'm curious about Vic, we know Ricky Sainz is medically cleared to compete

01:05But is Ricky Sainz psychologically cleared to compete?

01:09An injury somewhere like your trachea, your throat

01:11That can do a lot of long-term damage to a man's mind and his body

01:19And his opponent from Harlem, New York

01:21Wing in at 215 pounds

01:23Ashanti

01:25The Adonis

01:27Adonis

01:29You know Booker takes a lot of credit for a lot of people here in NXT helping guide the way

01:33He took credit for those dance moves

01:35You teach him those dance moves there Book?

01:37Call the drop step, call the drop step, all right?

01:41Is that why your knee was sore earlier today?

01:43No, I, I, still with me, still with me

01:45Well Graves, can you explain to me how Adonis believes he and Saints

01:49have a lot in common?

01:51Cuz I don't see many parallels between the two

01:53Well listen, I don't know Ashanti that well

01:55But I know he's hungry

01:57If anything about Ashanti the Adonis

01:59The guy has an overabundance of confidence

02:02This matchup is presented by Progressive

02:05Well after that right hand, Adonis got a bigger reaction than Will Smith did in London

02:10But right now Ricky Sainz taking it to Adonis

02:13I know you like pretty girls, you have that song downloaded, don't you?

02:17My wife is sick My wife is a pretty girl

02:19And another right hand there by Ricky Sainz

02:21Booker, you ever suffer a throat injury during your career like Sainz did?

02:25Two what Graves said moments ago

02:27You talking about the medulla oblongata, yes, yes

02:31No, no, Bobby Roche, I'm talking about a throat

02:33It's a very, very sensitive region

02:35Yes, I've had a couple here and there

02:37And big kick from Saints, Saints answered back with another right hand

02:41Graves, you mentioned it earlier, but truly all joking aside

02:45How cautious should Saints be due to that injury?

02:47Listen, I'm in no position to tell Ricky Sainz what he should do professionally

02:51If Ricky's cleared to medically compete, and Ricky wants to compete, let him fight

02:55Who am I to say it?

02:57I'm curious to see it right now

02:59He's walking, he's talking, and he's dropping it on us here tonight

03:03Is that why you've been so ornery lately, Booker?

03:07He said don't do it, don't pick on him, Saints in control

03:09Well Graves, the revolution is back here in NXT

03:25So far, so good Ricky Sainz

03:27Ricky returns to form, and wearing out Ashanti the Adonis at this moment

03:33Well, got blessed by Ricky one more time apparently

03:37Not something you see every single week

03:41The guy's last name is Saints, Vicky

03:43I get it, Saints are going marching in right now too

03:45And Ricky coming right in after Adonis

03:47Adonis trying to get the hell out of Dodge for a moment

03:50Booker, why didn't Adonis mind his own business last week?

03:56You know why?

03:57Because Adonis, Ashanti the Adonis, he's trying to get his piece of the action

04:01He won a piece of the pie, and a win over Ricky Saints, put him right in the game

04:05And by the way, Adonis just went to the throat of Ricky Saints

04:09Smart strategy by Ashanti, he weathered the storm, waited for his moment,

04:13and capitalized on the opportunity

04:15And Booker, I agree with you wholeheartedly

04:17I think a part of Ashanti feels a little desperate

04:19He knows he needs to make something big happen for his career

04:23What bigger thing than Ricky Saints right now?

04:25Right, right there, desperate.

04:26I mean, I wanna tell you, if Ashanti and Adonis can get a win over Ricky Saints,

04:29a guy who I think, who I feel a flash in the pan

04:32Here in the day, going in the morning, the guy has no substance

04:35And he's all flash, that's what I'm saying, if he can get a win over this guy,

04:39he's right in the game, I love it.

04:41Look at the outfit, he's a debonair dude too.

04:43Passing that airport test, all of that.

04:46You like what Adonis is wearing more so than what Ricky Saints has worn out here next to us?

04:52He doesn't have a drawstring if that's what you're saying.

04:56Adonis now, drawing the ire of Ricky Saints last week, bringing him into this matchup

05:01and right now focusing on the throat, focusing on the neck.

05:04Counter, counter with a backslide, shoulders down and almost.

05:08Got Ashanti who gets right back up and dropping Saints with that clothesline.

05:12And you can see the frustration now boiling out in Ricky.

05:14The guy you want on your team right there, man.

05:17Tough to tell whether Ashanti made more contact with the jaw or

05:20perhaps the injured throat of Ricky Saints.

05:22What an impact in the corner.

05:24You talk about contact.

05:26White the contact from Adonis and now Should he be focused on the match?

05:35I prove, I prove, okay?

05:37Why are you taking here?

05:38Are you trying to get the QR code scanned off Adonis or put your phone down for a sec?

05:42Put that phone down for a moment.

05:44Have you ever scanned it?

05:45No, why would I be scanning Adonis?

05:47Do you know what you get?

05:48What do you get?

05:49What do you get?

05:50Can't say it on there.

05:51Right now Adonis, nice counter.

05:55Spine buster flowing into the cover and

05:58almost able to pin the former North American champion.

06:01Whatever the QR code sends you is less offensive than you listening to

06:04Will Smith's new song.

06:06Former North American champion and Ricky Saints will love nothing more than

06:11maybe one day regain that championship.

06:15And Saints trying to fight back now, but as you mentioned earlier, Corey,

06:19knocking off the rust, the throat injury is in the back of his mind.

06:23I mean, Ricky right now might be in a very dangerous point of this match.

06:26No doubt about it, but I don't think you can credit this to any sort of ring rust or psychological hangover from the injury.

06:32Thus far, Ricky has looked pretty close to usual, but Ashanti Adonis is at the top of his game today.

06:39That's a fair point to say, look, Adonis, as Booker pointed out, this would be a signature victory.

06:47Big man, I'm talking huge.

06:51Adonis, though, taking maybe a little bit too much time,

06:54toying around with a former North American champion.

06:58An argument last week leads this confrontation.

07:03Who will walk out victorious?

07:05It has been all Ashanti the Adonis.

07:12Ricky Saints doing his best to fight back, as now this is breaking down into a slugfest of sorts.

07:18I've been very impressed by Ashanti the Adonis to this point in the matchup.

07:21Ashanti's almost settled in to cruise control a little bit right now.

07:25He's not rushing.

07:26Baby.

07:27He's taking his time and stringing together offense.

07:30Hoisting up, and now Adonis looking for the cash out.

07:36And is this enough to pin the former North American champion?

07:40And Saints just able to get, but you see Ricky, Cameron didn't show it.

07:44I looked up for the monitor.

07:45He grabbed his throat, grabbed his face.

07:47Gotta wonder how much is left now in the body of Ricky.

07:51We know you're not a big fan of Ricky Saints' book, but you gotta give him some credit.

07:54Coming out here tonight, just fresh off of an injury and holding his own,

07:58able to kick out of the best that Ashanti's thrown at him so far.

08:01I give Ricky Saints a whole lot of credit for that, but this man right here,

08:06Ashanti the Adonis, he's looking to do one thing.

08:08Us wrestlers always think about, take somebody's spot.

08:11That's what he's thinking about right now.

08:12He's thinking about taking Ricky Saints' spot.

08:14He's gonna bless him here tonight.

08:16You see the QR code in the bottom right part of your screen,

08:18who will be the Heritage Cup champion when we come to Fort Pierce in Melbourne.

08:23Still to come, stacks Tony D'Angelo for the vacated Heritage Cup,

08:29as Adonis has been in control of this matchup here against Ricky Saints,

08:33who is medically cleared to compete this week.

08:36And Saints now trying to switch gears and pick it up a little bit.

08:39Big shot.

08:40And Graves, this is almost like the second win for Ricky Saints right now.

08:44This is a display of toughness for Ricky Saints.

08:47Cookers use the phrase, intestinal fortitude.

08:49Ashanti trying to put the brakes on to the best of his ability, but launch.

08:53Dang.

08:55Couldn't stop that time.

08:58And Saints coming right back in, looking for a front facelot with a little extra DDT tornado style.

09:04Nice shot by Saints to get Adonis away from the ropes, into the cover, hook the inside leg.

09:10And, well, still not enough to keep down Adonis.

09:13Take a look at this, Graves.

09:15Great athleticism by Ricky Saints, utilizing the momentum, running the ropes,

09:20and driving Ashanti's skull first into the canvas.

09:23But it wasn't enough to end it in favor of Saints just yet.

09:26Beautiful float over, a lot of torque behind that big shot by Ricky Saints.

09:30NXT Universe trying to rally Ricky Saints here.

09:33Saints ducks in clothesline, able to go right up and under.

09:36And that could be the beginning of the end, gentlemen.

09:43Line it up for Ricky Saints for a little road.

09:46Sam.

09:47Floating right over, hook to the leg.

09:52And Saints is back to his winning ways.

09:56Here is your winner, Ricky Saints.

10:01Booker, in your own words,

10:05give it up one time for Ricky Saints.

10:08Give it up one.

10:09The medulla is okay.

10:11Revolution has returned before the Ro-San-Bo.

10:18Takes out Ashanti the Adonis.

10:21Welcome back, Mr. Saints.

10:24Ricky.

10:25Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.

10:28We've been doing this for a while.

10:30Yeah, well, apparently, uh, either page's video didn't work.

10:34It was a trap.

10:39That big.

10:43All ego spoiling Saints return.

10:46No, not again.

10:50Looking for-

10:55I thought he was going for the-

10:57No, you don't think.

10:58Yes!

10:59Ro-San-Bo.

11:03From all ego.

11:07There will be hell to pay for Ethan Page.

11:12You're never gonna get against me.

11:16For me and my championship.

11:19Time for tonight.
