00:00:37There is our champion Obafemi arriving, focused, determined, and ready to defend the NXT Championship
00:00:48here live tonight.
00:00:50He will do so against the number one contender, Yoshiki Inamura.
00:00:55Can Inamura win the championship here tonight at the Great American Bash?
00:01:01Another man looking to win gold is Ricky Saits.
00:01:04In a Falls Count Anywhere match, he faces Ethan Page for the North American Championship.
00:01:11On the topic of champions, there is TNA World Champion Trick Williams.
00:01:16His Slammiversary match gets made official live here tonight.
00:01:23The goddesses of hostility are here in center stage.
00:01:26Big weekend for our women's champion in the middle, J.C. Jane.
00:01:30That's because she meets Jordan Grace tomorrow.
00:01:33As for tonight, she meets the juggernaut along with her tag team partner, Blake Monroe.
00:01:40It's our main event at the Great American Bash.
00:01:47Forty years ago, at the American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, a summer tradition unlike any other was born.
00:02:10Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great American Bash.
00:02:15A historic event created by the American dream.
00:02:19The patriotic celebration from the heart of summer continue to unleash a spectacle world of celebration.
00:02:27The power is on and the summer tradition has arrived.
00:02:30And tonight, in Atlanta, Georgia, the fireworks will be set off once again.
00:02:36Ricky, I am a fighting champion and you can earn a shot at this championship if you survive the vanity project gauntlet.
00:02:51When I beat the gauntlet, I get to dictate the stipulation for a lottery match.
00:02:58I love that.
00:02:59Ethan, the ball's in my court.
00:03:01Anything goes or falls, counts, anywhere match.
00:03:06Jordan, you and Blake Monroe think you can just walk up in here and everyone's gonna bow down at your feet.
00:03:14Oh my God, wow.
00:03:16NXT just became glamorous.
00:03:20Fatal Influence will always be here to remind you exactly where you stand.
00:03:27No!
00:03:28Certainly a numbers advantage now for Fatal Influence.
00:03:33She's here!
00:03:34Blake Monroe!
00:03:35You want something done about Jordan and Blake.
00:03:38So, it will be Fallon Henley and JC Jane against the team of Jordan Grace and Blake Monroe.
00:03:46Omar!
00:03:47Omar!
00:03:48You wanted to see if I was lost.
00:03:49Omar!
00:03:50Omar!
00:03:51Has earned the right to challenge the ruler!
00:03:54The truth will prevail.
00:03:55You are not worthy enough to take this title from me.
00:03:58At the Great American Bash!
00:04:00I will become the new NXT Champion!
00:04:07Welcome back to NXT's Midsummer Classic.
00:04:11Welcome to the Great American Bash.
00:04:15And now, WWE presents Great American Bash.
00:04:30You can feel the excitement inside the sold out center stage live in Atlanta.
00:04:36That's 40 years ago this month.
00:04:37A man with an American Dream created this event.
00:04:39A dozen Hall of Famers competed on that night.
00:04:42The tradition carries on large superstars looking to forge their own future Hall of Fame pass.
00:04:48Welcome to the Great American Bash.
00:04:51Tonsworth's new head.
00:04:52Young boy is bouncy.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55OUGH!
00:04:56OUGH!
00:04:57OUGH!
00:04:58OUGH!
00:05:01OUGH!
00:05:03OUGH!
00:05:04OUGH!
00:05:05OUGH!
00:05:06OUGH!
00:05:08OUGH!
00:05:09OUGH!
00:05:12OUGH!
00:05:13OUGH!
00:05:16The following contest is scheduled for 1-4.
00:05:23It's your new team first, from Greensboro, North Carolina,
00:05:25weight 180 pounds, Siobhan Evans!
00:05:32Nick Jones, alongside Mr. Great American Bash,
00:05:34Booker T, and Corey Graves.
00:05:37You know, we got late arrivals here tonight
00:05:39due to our downtown traffic here in Atlanta.
00:05:42We are sold out, but Corey, are we about to see a new lair?
00:05:46To the young OG.
00:05:46We're about to find out exactly what Siobhan Evans is truly made of.
00:05:51We know he has mastered the aerial game,
00:05:53but does Siobhan have what it takes to stand toe-to-toe
00:05:57with a bona fide monster?
00:06:01You can see there's already a target on the body of Siobhan Evans.
00:06:16And in the woman, from Huffman, Texas, weighing in at 320 pounds,
00:06:37he is the winner of LFG Season 1, Jasper Troy!
00:06:45I know Booker's opinion, Corey, how big is this for Jasper Troy?
00:06:49Well, listen, when you're an upstart in NXT,
00:06:52as Jasper Troy is fresh off winning LFG,
00:06:55the opportunity to knock off one of the most wildly popular superstars in the business,
00:06:59like Javon Evans, the importance of this matchup for Troy can't be overstated.
00:07:03And Booker, you see Javon Evans, his ribs are heavily changed.
00:07:08He better be ready.
00:07:09He better be ready.
00:07:10Because Jasper Troy, that's the real deal.
00:07:13That M-O-U-N, S-T-E-R, that monster man.
00:07:17Oh, look, Javon Evans out here fighting for R-E-S-P-C-T,
00:07:21but what I want to ask you about is how is that rib injury going to hinder him in this match?
00:07:25No, the rib is the hardest thing to heal, man, especially with the carlets in between.
00:07:29And right now, that big man, that monster,
00:07:32ready to take the pain and punishment out of this young man.
00:07:36You can say that again.
00:07:37Interesting clash of styles.
00:07:38We've got the smash-mouth style of Jasper Troy
00:07:40versus the aerial artistry of Javon Evans.
00:07:43I've got to question this decision by Evans to try to stand toe-to-toe with a much larger Jasper Troy.
00:07:48As you look bigger picture here at NXT,
00:07:50Booker, in your opinion, should the winner of this be in the conversation for the NXT Championship after tonight?
00:07:57That's a good question.
00:07:59Ryan Evans has had some major, major opportunities,
00:08:02and he's come so close to cashing in.
00:08:04The kid definitely needs to be in the conversation.
00:08:07But this big man, this big man, Jasper Troy,
00:08:10he just needs to go out there and just keep wrecking the competition.
00:08:14Night in, night out.
00:08:15He'll find himself with the championship.
00:08:17Trust me.
00:08:18And a more of his Ovo Femi for the NXT title later tonight.
00:08:21But, you know, he's not here, Graves,
00:08:22but you certainly can feel the spirit of the American dream, Dusty Rhodes.
00:08:26No doubt the son of a plumber smiling down on the great American bash.
00:08:30Dusty's great creation.
00:08:32All these years later,
00:08:34Dusty's influence felt in every aspect of the game.
00:08:37And for Javon Evans, he is defending himself tonight.
00:08:41Springboard!
00:08:42And just got caught!
00:08:43Just got manhandled!
00:08:45And Jasper Troy looking to punish Evans,
00:08:48who's able to escape for a moment.
00:08:50Nice drop kick!
00:08:51Wow!
00:08:51But again, it's Evans who's defending himself.
00:08:53He has been ambushed by Troy multiple times.
00:08:56Troy said Tuesday he was done with Evans,
00:08:58but Evans showed he is not done with Jasper Troy!
00:09:02Whoa!
00:09:04Too much power!
00:09:06Too much power from the big man, Jasper Troy!
00:09:09Six, five, 300 pounds!
00:09:10Oh, yes!
00:09:12Evans doing his best to fight out of the predicament,
00:09:14slipping into the sleeper hole from behind!
00:09:16Great counter by Javon trying to wear down.
00:09:19Jasper Troy's center of the ring,
00:09:21and that was clever there by the young OG.
00:09:23But did you see that, Corey?
00:09:24He immediately grabbed his ribcage.
00:09:27Everything right now is hurting the body of Javon.
00:09:29No doubt about it, when you suffer damage to your-
00:09:31Whoa!
00:09:31God!
00:09:32That's not gonna do Evans any favors.
00:09:34Both superstars crashing to the outside.
00:09:37Trying to get a look at our right,
00:09:42but look at the eyes of Javon Evans, and Evans!
00:09:44Uh-oh, man!
00:09:45Man!
00:09:47Right there on the steel part of the ring right there.
00:09:50That's the hardest part.
00:09:52See the agony etched on the face of Evans.
00:09:54Booker, what does that feel like,
00:09:56hitting that corner where the steel meets wood?
00:09:58That right there can end many, many of matches right now.
00:10:02Definitely Jasper Troy gonna use it to his advantage.
00:10:05Graves, you talked about this earlier,
00:10:07and, you know, as this matchup has really begun,
00:10:09can Evans' high-flying style
00:10:10overcome that monster mentality of Jasper Troy?
00:10:14So far, it's done a pretty good job.
00:10:16I don't know if Evans got all that kick, but-
00:10:18Oh, no!
00:10:19But Jasper Troy-
00:10:20Oh, God!
00:10:20Just got all of Javon Evans!
00:10:22Did you see his body just flop?
00:10:26Wow!
00:10:27That was unreal!
00:10:31I told you, he's a monster, baby!
00:10:34Javon Evans' body was absolutely mangled upon impact on the outside.
00:10:40It's about to get worse!
00:10:42I'll tell you something.
00:10:43If you come up like Jasper Troy, let me tell you-
00:10:45Oh, the ribs!
00:10:46I've been in that position.
00:10:48When you looking for a meal, when you hungry, it's time to eat.
00:10:52That's what I'm talking about.
00:10:53That's Jasper Troy, man!
00:10:55I think the scariest thing about Jasper Troy is this is catharsis for Troy.
00:10:59He's letting out all the rage, all the anger.
00:11:01He keeps pent up inside on the broken body of Javon Evans.
00:11:06We've seen it against the ropes, we've seen it against the side of the ring, we've seen
00:11:09it against the steel guardrail here to our right.
00:11:11It's like human pinball right now for Jasper Troy, and now what's on his mind?
00:11:16Yeah, I'll tell you exactly what's on Jasper's mind.
00:11:18He wants to end Javon Evans once and for all.
00:11:21Oh, baby!
00:11:22Every time we see that million-dollar smile of Javon Evans, Jasper Troy gets sick to his
00:11:28stomach!
00:11:29My God, what impact!
00:11:31This matchup right now, Jasper Troy looks to be at home.
00:11:35He's looking around.
00:11:36How can he inflict more damage?
00:11:38How can he inflict more pain?
00:11:40Just keep crushing.
00:11:41Just keep crushing the opposition.
00:11:44That's what this man is all about.
00:11:45Walter, why is Troy the way he is?
00:11:48You know him better than us.
00:11:49Look here, man.
00:11:49When you come up out the foot, when you looking for a meal late at night, and I'm getting
00:11:56up with Jack Mack, staring at the wall of silence, that's what you turn into, man.
00:12:01Now just punishing again Javon Evans.
00:12:04Look at the face of Evans.
00:12:06Just ripping away, trying to break the bat.
00:12:09Jasper Troy, who won MFG Season 1, made his debut May 27, Season 2 underway.
00:12:15He's already competed, Booker, for the NXT Championship.
00:12:17Six weeks after his debut, he's already here for a premium live event.
00:12:22From day one.
00:12:22From day one, Jasper Troy is locked in.
00:12:25They always say, the eyes.
00:12:27The eyes never lie, man.
00:12:29This dude right here, he's dangerous, man.
00:12:32He's dangerous.
00:12:36Yeah!
00:12:37And we've heard from Booker, Corey, I'd love to get your thought of what your first impressions
00:12:43have been about Jasper Troy.
00:12:45You can't not be impressed by the physicality of Jasper Troy.
00:12:49I think with a little more experience, a little more seasoning, this dude is gonna be a force
00:12:53to be reckoned with for a long, long time.
00:12:56Trying to follow up with a big elbow, and lucky for Javon just able to get out of the way.
00:13:01Yeah, we've said for a long time that when it comes to Javon Evans, maybe the sky isn't
00:13:06even the limit, but perhaps Evans has met his match in Jasper Troy tonight.
00:13:09Well, Jasper Troy is looking for a body shot.
00:13:11Javon was able to get out of the way, and now swinging with rights of his own.
00:13:14Able to sidestep Jasper one more time.
00:13:15Big jump in right hand, right under the jaw of Troy.
00:13:18Jasper right now for a moment is rocked, but Javon Evans, Corey, can't capitalize.
00:13:23Evans out of the way, double axe handle, off the rope.
00:13:26No way.
00:13:26Looking for the German suplex.
00:13:27No way, baby.
00:13:28Not with banged up ribs.
00:13:30Booker, how wise was that of Javon?
00:13:32I mean, Javon Evans, he came and he'll come out of his head.
00:13:35Those ribs taped up, and right now, Jasper Troy, he's got a target right on those ribs.
00:13:39He's gonna try to take this kid out.
00:13:41Trying to fly one more time, but that momentary hesitation just cost Javon again.
00:13:47Why don't they steal again, baby?
00:13:48Focusing on the ribs, Javon Evans.
00:13:50I can only imagine how hard it is for Javon to breathe right now, following that devastating
00:13:56backbreaker, and then just getting tossed.
00:13:59Oh, my goodness.
00:14:00Javon Evans, he's not gonna quit, but this man, Jasper Troy, he's gonna try to separate
00:14:04this young man from his senses, take everything from him tonight.
00:14:08And, Booker, I know you've talked to Jasper Troy about the magnitude of this event.
00:14:12You've competed at six great American matches during your career.
00:14:15I told Jasper Troy, look, man, you got one shot.
00:14:18You got one shot at greatness.
00:14:19Go out there and capitalize on it.
00:14:21Take advantage of the information.
00:14:23And I love what this young man is doing right now.
00:14:26I heard what you were telling him earlier when you were talking to him about 1995 beating
00:14:29the Studs stable.
00:14:302006 won a world title at this event.
00:14:34I told him, hey, you go out here, you took this young man down.
00:14:37You go out there, you, that is.
00:14:39You step on him.
00:14:40You put him down.
00:14:42You walk on him.
00:14:43And you step on some toes.
00:14:44And keep on walking, Jack.
00:14:46I love that.
00:14:47I think your exact quote to him was, step on his throat and don't let him up.
00:14:50If you want me to be completely honest with what you said earlier tonight.
00:14:54But Graves, listen to center stage.
00:14:58Sold out, letting Jasper Troy know exactly how they feel about him.
00:15:02Well, unfortunately for the NXT universe in attendance, Jasper Troy could care less what
00:15:06they think about his performance.
00:15:08Troy's out here to make a statement to the entire roster, to the entire business.
00:15:12Jasper Troy has arrived.
00:15:13And to be fair, he's also trying to make a statement to our general manager, Ava, who
00:15:18is here tonight.
00:15:19Jasper Troy feels he can get another opportunity at the NXT Championship.
00:15:24Because in his opinion, no one has ever pushed Obafemi to the limit the way he did.
00:15:29It's hard to argue with Jasper Troy's assessment of his own performance, taking the ruler to
00:15:34the limit.
00:15:35But right now, Jasper Troy is just having his way.
00:15:38Are you kidding me?
00:15:39Jasper Troy just picking up Javon.
00:15:41Javon finally able to get a little bit of separation.
00:15:44Right now, the big man is closing in on him.
00:15:46But Javon, he's putting up a hell of a fight.
00:15:49Let's just say this about the kid.
00:15:50The kid is putting up a hell of a fight.
00:15:52Steal your bicycle, son.
00:15:54He's trying to ride it to victory at this juncture.
00:15:56But Javon Evans, again, trying to get away.
00:15:58And look, as this matchup goes on, as we start, we talk about the career of Jasper Troy.
00:16:03You're seeing the fight right now in Javon Evans.
00:16:05Graze, is Javon at a crossroad, so to speak?
00:16:09Listen, I don't believe that's necessarily the case.
00:16:11I think no matter what happens in this match, Javon Evans has an extremely bright future
00:16:15as a major player in WWE.
00:16:18Big man down to one knee, guys.
00:16:20Javon Evans trying to get bouncy.
00:16:23And oh, the ribs, the ribs, the ribs, the ribs.
00:16:26Referee might have to step in.
00:16:27Test to this, when your body just fails you in the middle of a match,
00:16:30what goes through your head?
00:16:32No, that right there, that's called shut down.
00:16:34That's called shut down.
00:16:35And when that happens right there, you can't go into panic mode.
00:16:38Hopefully this young man will not go into panic mode
00:16:40because the referee will have to wear without understanding know how to perhaps stop it, man.
00:16:45Well, he would have been in panic mode, and he would have been squished by Jasper Troy.
00:16:49But look, you said it earlier, Booker, there is no quit in Javon Evans.
00:16:53He's learned in a year.
00:16:54You can't achieve million-dollar dreams with $1,000 hustle.
00:16:58He's got to bring it tonight.
00:17:00Not million dollars, champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
00:17:03I'm trying to get my own shtick.
00:17:05I'm trying to do something on my own here.
00:17:07Look at that, kicking out the knee of Jasper Troy,
00:17:09whose face made contact with Javon's knee.
00:17:12This might have bought the young OG some very valuable time.
00:17:15And now he might be blacking out the pain.
00:17:17Corey, you've said it before, whether it's Raw, SmackDown, or NXT,
00:17:20whatever number of shows you do, adrenaline will make a man do crazy, crazy things.
00:17:25That's exactly what we're seeing before our very eyes.
00:17:28The young OG, fueled by adrenaline alone.
00:17:31He's chopping down the monster.
00:17:34What the hell?
00:17:37Super kick.
00:17:38Troy is down to one knee.
00:17:40Big boot.
00:17:42Big man just keep coming, though.
00:17:43Oh, got caught, looking for that massive choke slam, countered by Evans.
00:17:48Looking for the German again.
00:17:51Trying to block out the place.
00:17:53No way.
00:17:53I don't like the tactics right there by the young OG.
00:17:57Look at Jasper Troy, like a horror movie monster, like Michael Myers, like Jason Voorhees,
00:18:02just continuing to soldier forward.
00:18:04There are Javon screaming in pain, trying to fly.
00:18:07This time connected, falls into the cover.
00:18:10That was out at a quick two.
00:18:13An emphatic kick out by Troy.
00:18:16Springboard, caught!
00:18:18Hold on!
00:18:19Caught him!
00:18:19Man, this dude ain't human.
00:18:22Jasper didn't connect.
00:18:23Evans getting bounced.
00:18:26Wait a minute.
00:18:27Crawls into the cover for Javon.
00:18:29Near fall.
00:18:31What a way, guys, to kick off the Grand American Bash.
00:18:35What a way to kick off this weekend here live in Atlanta.
00:18:38Yeah, but Evans needs to find out a way to keep his foot on the gas pedal, making a questionable
00:18:43climb to the high-rent district.
00:18:46Does Javon have what it takes?
00:18:48Well, we just found that out.
00:18:49Oh, I'm going to roll through for a moment.
00:18:52And Jasper, oh!
00:18:55Dumped over the top to the floor.
00:18:57Remember earlier in the matchup.
00:18:59Here we go!
00:19:00Here we go!
00:19:02Javon Evans takes out Troy on the outside!
00:19:08But how much damage did Javon just do to himself?
00:19:11MSG!
00:19:12MSG!
00:19:13MSG!
00:19:14MSG!
00:19:15MSG!
00:19:16Sold out in center stage.
00:19:18And right now, I don't think Javon Evans gives a damn.
00:19:21But just like you said earlier, that monster rising.
00:19:24Well, when Evans is sipping on that cocktail of the adrenaline in the NXT universe, he can
00:19:30be hard to stop.
00:19:31But Troy, looking to snuff out Javon once and for all.
00:19:35I got to wonder what's going through the mind of Javon Evans right now.
00:19:38And a small slip going right back around.
00:19:41And oh!
00:19:42What the?
00:19:43Can you believe that?
00:19:45Hell no!
00:19:46Javon just hit the third time the charm.
00:19:49Trying to climb.
00:19:50Trying to will himself to the top.
00:19:53Javon Evans!
00:19:56Getting a little froggy!
00:19:59Put the damage to the ribs!
00:20:02Into the cover!
00:20:03In the...
00:20:04Oh!
00:20:05Fast for Troy again.
00:20:07Able to power up.
00:20:09And Vic, you hit it right on the head.
00:20:10The impact.
00:20:11But perhaps the damage suffered to this juncture to the ribs of Javon Evans.
00:20:17Frog splash on the money.
00:20:20But Evans just a hair too late.
00:20:22Into the cover!
00:20:24He's looking for that cutter again.
00:20:25This time from the top.
00:20:26Got caught.
00:20:27And a massive, emphatic choke slam.
00:20:31From Jasper Troy to Javon.
00:20:33And ooh!
00:20:34Neat!
00:20:36And that could be the beginning of the end for Javon Evans.
00:20:41Looking for that black hole slam.
00:20:44Oh, from behind!
00:20:45Up!
00:20:46Over!
00:20:46You gotta be stacking them up!
00:20:48You gotta be...
00:20:48Evans surprised the monster in Atlanta!
00:20:51What?
00:20:53Here is your winner, Javon Evans!
00:20:58Did I just see that with my own two eyes?
00:21:02I'm seated right beside you, Vic, with the disbelief that's strong with this one.
00:21:07A shocking turn of events.
00:21:10And the W belongs to the young OG.
00:21:13There are some big time superstars in tomorrow night's Evolution Battle Royal.
00:21:41And I'm going to use every single ounce of their star power as my stepping stone to the spotlight that I want.
00:21:48Because, baby, when it comes to making history, best believe I'ma be on proof.
00:21:52And when that dust settles at Evolution, I'm going to be the winner of that Battle Royal.
00:21:57Head to Clash in Paris, where everyone's going to remember one name.
00:22:01Jada Parker.
00:22:03Clock it.
00:22:04I'm going to put the final nail in the coffin of the D'Angelo family this coming Tuesday.
00:22:18But I've enjoyed the ride.
00:22:20It's been fun watching Tony D feel the pressure before I finish him off.
00:22:25But after that, it's on the bigger and better things.
00:22:28I want to make this cup the championship in NXT.
00:22:31So as I was planning some strategies of destruction for Tony and Luca, it hit me.
00:22:38Why don't I create a list of people I want to embarrass en route to becoming the top dog here?
00:22:44So I wrote down some people of authority.
00:22:48WWE Hall of Famers.
00:22:49Fake kings.
00:22:51Dads of famous influencers.
00:22:53And some guy who calls himself The Situation.
00:22:56But doesn't really want one.
00:22:57But one by one, they said no.
00:23:01Or disconnected their phones.
00:23:03Except one guy.
00:23:05Former champ.
00:23:06That hefty Lexus King is a good place to start.
00:23:10That snake-bitten dummy Santino Morello likes to run his mouth?
00:23:13He can get it too.
00:23:15Logan may be busy, but his dad, Gregory Paul, he's primed for an ass-whooping.
00:23:20Randy Orton Jr., Jr., he could catch it too.
00:23:23Maybe a couple of true legends like the Birdman or a U.K. legend like Johnny Saint wants one last shot at glory.
00:23:31Bring it.
00:23:32But there was one guy the size of a train.
00:23:35Guys like a giant Bernard.
00:23:39There was only one guy on my list who accepted my challenge at the Heritage Cup.
00:23:44And he's right in here.
00:23:45Come on.
00:23:45Let's go.
00:23:46Let's go find him.
00:23:49There he is.
00:23:50Right there.
00:23:51Oh.
00:23:51You won the lottery, my guy.
00:23:54You got some guts.
00:23:55Some big guts.
00:23:57What did you call it on, Spats?
00:23:59Oh.
00:24:00You're a funny guy.
00:24:00Don't play coin with me.
00:24:02I got the bug again.
00:24:03You're missing the roar of the crowd.
00:24:05You accepted my challenge online at the Heritage Cup.
00:24:09Online?
00:24:09Yeah, Twitter.
00:24:11Like the situation.
00:24:12That Lexus.
00:24:13We were training.
00:24:14You accepted me.
00:24:16Spats.
00:24:16I hate you great this year, but that was not me.
00:24:19I must have been hacked.
00:24:21Well, good luck.
00:24:22Good luck.
00:24:23You hacked.
00:24:24Hacked.
00:24:25Stacks.
00:24:27That head on a swivel.
00:24:29All this guy is on a swivel.
00:24:31I think you can get hacked.
00:24:32You just...
00:24:32Oh.
00:24:34Hey.
00:24:34Where's my heritage car?
00:24:36Yo.
00:24:36Where's my heritage car?
00:24:37I don't know.
00:24:38Who talking?
00:24:40Which one?
00:24:40Which one?
00:24:40I'm the B-E-S-T, the prodigy.
00:25:01This storm has come.
00:25:03Greatness is my destiny.
00:25:05I'm number one.
00:25:06Tiffy, come to the big time.
00:25:10We are the example.
00:25:21We are the leaders.
00:25:24We are Fatal Influence.
00:25:26J.C. Jane with the biggest challenge of her career, the number one luchadora in the world, our NXT Women's Champion, Stephanie McCare.
00:25:46Hey, wait a minute, Jasmine Nix has the official, Phelan Henley, what the hell?
00:25:57Here is your winner and the new NXT Women's Champion, J.C.J.
00:26:16I pulled off the most shocking moments in NXT history.
00:26:28All is right in the universe because Fatal Influence is on top where we belong.
00:26:35J.C. about to find out what it means to have a target on your back as one of these four women will advance to evolution and challenge Jane for the NXT Women's Championship.
00:26:50J.C.J.
00:26:51The juggernaut showing what she's capable of.
00:26:55Oh, my God!
00:26:59Torture rack, bomb!
00:27:01And Jordan Grace has done it!
00:27:07J.C.
00:27:08From the moment that I stepped foot into a WWE ring, I had one thought.
00:27:17One singular goal.
00:27:24To become a champion in the best women's division in the world.
00:27:28I sacrificed everything to get to the WWE.
00:27:33Evolution in Atlanta, I'll finally become the NXT Women's Champion.
00:27:40I have to.
00:27:41All right, Jordan, I'm fully aware that you can bench press more than me.
00:27:50You'll never carry this division.
00:27:53Shut up.
00:27:56J.C.
00:27:56Jane running her mouth again.
00:28:00Let's all act surprised.
00:28:02But I'm not going to surprise anybody when I beat you.
00:28:06And when I take that NXT Women's title from you, I'm going to be the one steering this division into the future.
00:28:13Um, I'm sorry.
00:28:15Luckily for you, Fatal Influence will always be here to remind you exactly where you stand.
00:28:27Certainly a numbers advantage now for Fatal Influence.
00:28:31Jordan Gray's looking to stand her ground.
00:28:38Has a fatal blow just been delivered to J.C.
00:28:43Jane.
00:28:47Coming through.
00:28:48We're live in Atlanta, the center of the wrestling world this weekend.
00:28:53And as our WWE podcasts have a stacked lineup this week, including Ricky Saints with the American Nightmare, Cody Rose.
00:29:00On what do you want to talk about?
00:29:02Saints, cage, pulse, count, anywhere for the North American title still to come live tonight.
00:29:07I'm about to do my thing.
00:29:09So fresh, so clean.
00:29:10Gucci loaf is blue denim.
00:29:12So Arruka, an incredible performance last night on SmackDown.
00:29:16In a few minutes, you'll be defending the NXT Women's North American Championship against the Cullings' Izzy Dane.
00:29:22But not only that, Zarruka has a chance at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:29:29How are the two of you feeling?
00:29:30Sarah, I'm not going to lie.
00:29:31I am riding high.
00:29:32Last night on my SmackDown debut, everyone got to see me snatch not only one, but two souls.
00:29:39But today it is tunnel vision on retaining this Women's North American Championship.
00:29:45Izzy Dane is a master manipulator and she's the pulse of the calling, but she's going to get her soul snatched regardless.
00:29:51My best friend is an absolute workhorse.
00:29:54In three days, you best believe I'm going to be in her corner to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
00:30:01Especially with that little Tatum lurking around.
00:30:06After she retains, tomorrow night, Zarruka becomes the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:30:15Dude, me with three titles?
00:30:17Oh my god, it's going to be sick.
00:30:20Come on, I guess it's time to go.
00:30:21Let's go.
00:30:22Good luck.
00:30:25Truth will ultimately prevail.
00:30:27But there is pain bringing it to light.
00:30:32With a nod of approval from Sean Spears, Izzy Dane looks to capture gold here tonight.
00:31:00And Corey, doesn't it just seem week by week, Izzy is growing in confidence?
00:31:05I think that the culling was exactly what Izzy Dane needed in her career.
00:31:10And time will tell if the same holds true for Tatum Paxley.
00:31:14But this is a massive opportunity with gold on the line, not only just for Izzy Dane, but for the culling as an entire unit.
00:31:2024 hours ago, Sol Ruka competed in Nashville on SmackDown.
00:31:49Graves, she can't feel 100%.
00:31:51You would imagine not, but when it comes to thriving in high-pressure situations, I don't know if anyone is doing it these days quite like Sol Ruka.
00:32:00The woman is born to handle pressure.
00:32:03Tonight could be the latest example.
00:32:05Let's go up to our ring announcer, Mike Rowe.
00:32:08The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Women's North American Championship.
00:32:24And her opponent, she is the NXT Women's North American Champion, Sol Ruka.
00:32:53There have been eight NXT Championship matches in Atlanta.
00:33:00Zero title changes.
00:33:04Women's North American title on the line in this moment.
00:33:07And Graves, you kind of just brought it up a second ago, but you've seen a lot of soul.
00:33:12On WWE Speed, she is the women's champion.
00:33:14Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:33:16Paxley just smacked the taste out of Zarya's mouth.
00:33:18Well, don't forget what Zarya called Tatum just moments ago.
00:33:22And Tatum right now might be running for her life.
00:33:24Our referee, Gary Wilson, trying his best.
00:33:29I mean, to be fair, Tatum was absconded with several times.
00:33:33Oh, wait a minute.
00:33:34Oh, baby.
00:33:34Is he behind?
00:33:35Oh, the referee.
00:33:36Ref.
00:33:36You can't see it.
00:33:38I drive.
00:33:39Is he screaming for the title?
00:33:41Oh, and the foot, the right foot of Sol Ruka on that bottom rope.
00:33:50You felt the air leave this sold-out center stage.
00:33:54Corey, check this out one more time.
00:33:56Amongst the chaos outside, inside the ring, Izzy Dane with that sky-high power bump.
00:34:03You heard the crowd count to five.
00:34:05That was about a seven-and-a-half count before Sol got her foot on the bottom rope.
00:34:09I mean, Booker, that was a heads-up wave.
00:34:11Can I say this?
00:34:13Great strategy from Tatum Paxley right off the bat.
00:34:17I love it, man.
00:34:18Well, no doubt who Paxley is in the corner of.
00:34:21She has decided to join Izzy.
00:34:23Join the coin instead of siding with Sol Ruka and Zarya, who were once her friends.
00:34:29Don't waste any time, Izzy.
00:34:31As I was getting ready to talk to you.
00:34:33Let me ask you this, Vic, why do you think Tatum Paxley made such a choice for her own career?
00:34:38I honestly don't know how to ask that because we've seen Tatum Paxley for such a long time,
00:34:41and she always says that her friends leave her.
00:34:44For some reason, she trusts Izzy more than most.
00:34:46But this ain't about friends, Book.
00:34:47What's it about?
00:34:48Buddies, pals, man.
00:34:50That's what it's all about.
00:34:52I thought you were going to say checks in championships.
00:34:54You screwed up your own shtick.
00:34:55Missile dropkick from Sol.
00:34:57I thought you was going to do it right.
00:34:58Sol with a big kick.
00:35:00Sol getting back into this matchup, and Graves to get this back on track.
00:35:04How has she handled the extra workload?
00:35:06Would not want to go to a championship.
00:35:09That might have been the beginning of the end.
00:35:12Able to roll through was Sol both moving on the outside.
00:35:15Izzy did her best to plant Sol.
00:35:17Sol definitely took some impact high on her shoulder.
00:35:20She's obviously able to recover, but curious to see if that's going to factor in as this match progresses.
00:35:24And to counter that point, Sol also did just have enough momentum to get Izzy up and over.
00:35:28Charge it in.
00:35:29Big shot.
00:35:30Big shot.
00:35:31Covered title on the line and a near fall.
00:35:34Sol could have three championships after tomorrow night.
00:35:37Of course, teams with Zarya for the women's tag team titles.
00:35:40And a four-way tag team matchup at Evolution.
00:35:43Booker, how difficult is it to stay focused on one title, let alone three?
00:35:47It's so hard to try to go out there and defend a championship like that, three championships in this business.
00:35:52You're on the road so much.
00:35:54This is not like football with Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders or anything like that.
00:35:59Too much of every time.
00:36:01Hoist it up.
00:36:02Izzy, again, showcasing that power.
00:36:05This is a rubber match between these two in singles competition.
00:36:09But it is important to remember, Izzy did pin the champion recently in a tag team match.
00:36:14And Izzy right now in control.
00:36:16Total control, man.
00:36:19Certainly has to give a mental advantage to Izzy Dame, who seems to be settling into cruise control in this matchup.
00:36:25Making sure she doesn't make any errors, doesn't leave any openings for the champion to get back in this fight.
00:36:32Tatum Paxley, they're on the outside playing cheerleader.
00:36:36We're all being honest with each other.
00:36:38Tatum has more issues than TV Guide.
00:36:39But we can save that for another day as Sol Uca trying to fight back into this matchup.
00:36:44When did you become a mental health professional, Joseph?
00:36:46Hey, look, I have to sit between you two every single week.
00:36:48I've earned a few stripes.
00:36:51As now looking for a title is Izzy Dame.
00:36:53And in the near fall, Izzy looking for her first championship here in NXT.
00:36:57And imagine tomorrow, Corey.
00:37:00Izzy has another massive opportunity at Evolution.
00:37:03Women's Battle Royal winner would have a championship match at Clash in Paris.
00:37:08It could be Izzy Dame we're talking about in a matter of months holding multiple championships as Sol Uca does right now.
00:37:14Think about the other side of the coin for Uca.
00:37:16She potentially could leave Evolution with three titles.
00:37:19Or won just a speed championship.
00:37:22That's very true.
00:37:23As Izzy Dame right now has been in the driver's seat since beginning.
00:37:29Sol from behind using her quickness.
00:37:31And almost able to keep Izzy's shoulders down for three.
00:37:34Right back up though.
00:37:35And right back down into the cover.
00:37:37Hook of the leg.
00:37:39And another kick out.
00:37:40Izzy's one step ahead right now, guys.
00:37:43I agree with you, Book.
00:37:43It's like Izzy has utilized the fact she had a singular focus coming into this matchup.
00:37:48One opponent to worry about.
00:37:49That being Sol Uca.
00:37:50Whereas Uca, as we talked about before, has been burning the candle at both ends.
00:37:55Sean Spears believes in Izzy Dame.
00:37:57He has said he suffered so that she could shine.
00:38:01Along with Nico Vance and Tatum Patsley, Booker, how important has Sean Spears been
00:38:06to the growth of the challenger here tonight?
00:38:09You're talking about the GPS.
00:38:11Sean Spears has done a hell of a job with Izzy Dame.
00:38:14Because Izzy was kind of floundering after Kiana James took a hiatus.
00:38:19But right now, she's looking at her best.
00:38:22Big shot.
00:38:23We got the jack.
00:38:24We got the jack.
00:38:25Oh, my God.
00:38:26A half second away.
00:38:28And this is where, Corey, I come back to yesterday.
00:38:30Wow.
00:38:3124 hours ago.
00:38:32Let's take another look at this before we get there, Vic.
00:38:35Bam!
00:38:35Sol Uca, you can pick up your bicuspids over on Peachtree Street.
00:38:40Incredible boot by the challenger.
00:38:42But Corey, she's coming in and out at 100%, competing last night,
00:38:45taking on the likes of Roxanne Perez.
00:38:49Listen, a lot of champions believe that iron sharpens iron.
00:38:52Sol Uca certainly up that mentality.
00:38:54But right now, Izzy Dame proving why it's a questionable thought process.
00:38:58Not only that, we never come into the ring 100%.
00:39:01And it's always said, you can work hurt all day, man.
00:39:05That's what you spend.
00:39:06You just can't work injury.
00:39:07That's the deal, dawg.
00:39:09All right, now Sol trying to get back.
00:39:12Boom.
00:39:12Big flying clothesline.
00:39:14Looking to the outside.
00:39:15You see her tag team partner, Zarya, trying to fire her up,
00:39:18as is this sold-out crowd here in Atlanta.
00:39:22Watch your positioning, Izzy.
00:39:23You just got to stay out of those corners, man.
00:39:26Izzy, again, just able somehow to slither away, able to attack her.
00:39:30Rolling up now the champion for the title.
00:39:32Another near fall.
00:39:34And that power on display.
00:39:36Counter, though, by Sol.
00:39:38Unique backstabber of sorts.
00:39:40I believe that was two feet to the spine.
00:39:43Unique offense from the women's North American champion Sol Uca now
00:39:46with a few valuable moments to re-strategize.
00:39:50What the hell?
00:39:51Oh, baby!
00:39:52Oh, man!
00:39:53What the hell?
00:39:54She didn't get all of that.
00:39:56She took a nasty spoon in Sol.
00:39:58It's tough to tell which woman got the worst of that exchange.
00:40:03And Tatum Paxley almost having a panic attack of sorts
00:40:07overseeing her friend suffer.
00:40:08Look at this.
00:40:09Ruka.
00:40:10Ruka's right foot, perhaps her knee,
00:40:12connected with the forehead or face of the challenger.
00:40:15But Sol took a nasty spill in the process.
00:40:17And she took all of that, guys.
00:40:20Sol now springboard into the ring.
00:40:23And she's getting a little crazy right now.
00:40:25Laying it on the line.
00:40:26Here we go.
00:40:27The title.
00:40:28Man.
00:40:28Challenger able to kick out.
00:40:30You can see Tatum Paxley.
00:40:31You can see now the eyes of the champion.
00:40:33You see Zarya on the outside.
00:40:35A lot of layers between these four women.
00:40:38But the one thing that matters the most right now here
00:40:41at the Great American Bash
00:40:42is the Women's North American Championship.
00:40:46And Sol Ruka, not afraid to take risks, Corey.
00:40:50But I don't know about this.
00:40:52I'll rip this for guys.
00:40:54Whoa.
00:40:56Izzy Dame did her homework.
00:40:58Certainly did.
00:40:59And oh.
00:40:59She might have just broken the code into the cover for the title.
00:41:04And another near fall.
00:41:06Kudos to the champion for surviving.
00:41:09But Izzy Dame brought her A game tonight.
00:41:13First shrugging Sol off.
00:41:15Followed immediately by a code breaker from the middle rope.
00:41:20We almost had a new champion.
00:41:22Graves, Izzy has a cold-hearted edge over most.
00:41:26I mean, she's manipulative.
00:41:27She's conniving.
00:41:28But will that carry her to a victory?
00:41:30Because right now, Sol almost seems possessed in a way.
00:41:34Well, listen, manipulative, conniving,
00:41:36those are words that people use when they talk about someone that they don't like.
00:41:39I haven't been close enough to Izzy to understand where her head truly is.
00:41:42Sol Ruka, wildly popular.
00:41:44Izzy Dame, perhaps not so much.
00:41:46That could all shift here at the bash.
00:41:48And a combination from the champion.
00:41:50Challenger answering right back.
00:41:52And you heard Ruka and Zarya call Izzy the pulse of the calling booker.
00:41:57That is certainly something that's hard to argue.
00:41:59Rappo kick by Ruka.
00:42:00I agree, I mean, right now, Izzy Dame is doing a hell of a job for the calling.
00:42:04And we talk about Sol Ruka having to compete on multiple occasions.
00:42:09Could he be catching up with her, guys?
00:42:10That's the question.
00:42:12And now again, looking for a little high risk.
00:42:15To my point, to my point.
00:42:16You're right, Book.
00:42:17You're absolutely right.
00:42:20Luckily, Sol able to recover.
00:42:22X-Factor from the top.
00:42:25Pivotal point right now in this matchup.
00:42:28And truthfully, I don't know who's taking more punishment here tonight.
00:42:34Great point, Vic.
00:42:35What a hard-hitting matchup.
00:42:38This is awesome!
00:42:40This is awesome!
00:42:43This is awesome!
00:42:45This is awesome!
00:42:47No point.
00:42:48Fueled by the WWE Universe, Sol Ruka back to her feet first.
00:42:51Placing up the challenger at this point, too, Book.
00:42:54Dropkick to the back.
00:42:55You kind of have to throw sort of strategy out the window.
00:43:00Definitely right now with those deep, those deep, deep waters right now.
00:43:04We're going to see who's going to drown.
00:43:06That's the question.
00:43:06Who's going to drown here?
00:43:07Oh, baby!
00:43:09Oh, baby!
00:43:10Whoa!
00:43:10Yes!
00:43:11Massive chokeslam from the challenger.
00:43:15Izzy, right back in center of the ring.
00:43:17High-impact offense for the championship.
00:43:21One, two, three, four.
00:43:23And the champion just kicking out.
00:43:28And now...
00:43:28Now is not the time, Izzy.
00:43:30You can't let yourself fall apart.
00:43:32To Graves' point, Izzy Dane has to stay focused, Booker.
00:43:37Now definitely got to stay focused, but this...
00:43:39God, this is what the Great American Bash is all about, leaving everything in the middle
00:43:44of that square circle.
00:43:46Izzy's feeling it.
00:43:48Can she deliver the coup d'etat?
00:43:50And both also want to carry momentum into tomorrow's evolution!
00:43:53And a super kick under the jaw.
00:43:56Champion has life.
00:43:57And looking for that soul snatcher.
00:43:59Countered for a moment by the challenger.
00:44:02Oh, baby!
00:44:03Oh, jeez!
00:44:04I thought Izzy was gonna walk right into it right there!
00:44:09Izzy, as Corey said earlier, has certainly done her homework, both women.
00:44:13Whoa!
00:44:15Unbelievable athleticism from Sol Luka.
00:44:20Target set.
00:44:22Big spear!
00:44:23Much like Zarya entering into the zone of destruction.
00:44:27One, two!
00:44:27And...
00:44:27Tatum!
00:44:31Our official didn't see Tatum Paxley help out her new BFF.
00:44:40Oh!
00:44:41Fire from Zarya.
00:44:45Tatum Paxley's wiped out.
00:44:46A big right hand, though, from the challenger.
00:44:49Izzy Dane back in.
00:44:50Ducks the clothesline.
00:44:51And...
00:44:51Oh, there it is!
00:44:53Luka snatches Izzy's soul.
00:44:56One, two, three!
00:44:58Sol Luka retains the title.
00:45:01Here is your winner, and still, the NXT Women's North American Champion, Sol Luka!
00:45:13What a match.
00:45:20Graves, let's go back to the closing moments.
00:45:23Here we see an epic spear by the champion.
00:45:27It wasn't quite enough to get the job done, thanks to the assist from Tatum Paxley on the outside,
00:45:33who was met and nearly sawed in half by Zarya for her troubles.
00:45:39But Izzy got a bit overzealous, and Sol Luka with the soul snatcher, a move that no one has been able to solve just yet.
00:45:50And still, women's North American champion.
00:45:57And is more gold in the future of Sol Luka and Zarya?
00:46:02We'll find out tomorrow at WWE Evolution.

00:48:10I just made my AAA debut and tomorrow night I'm gonna knock everyone out, throw them over the top rope and dance my way to Paris when I win the Evolution Battle Royal.
00:48:20Lo quiero mucho, Vice City.
00:48:22You ready?
00:48:28Oh, JG, we are ready.
00:48:31Tonight, Fatal Influence gets a taste of the glamour.
00:48:35Consider it a little appetizer before you take the NXT Women's Championship from JC Jane tomorrow.
00:48:43I do like the sound of that.
00:48:44I knew you would, my little muscle muffin.
00:48:46Our main event is still to come, but in moments, two men that can't stand the other.
00:48:55Saints looking to regain the North American Championship against Ethan Payne.
00:48:59It's false count anywhere here at the Great American Bash.
00:49:03The revolution has arrived.
00:49:12Do not let the handsome face and expensive fragrance fool you.
00:49:18I am here to turn this place upside down.
00:49:25Baby, I'm standing here the NXT North American Champion.
00:49:31Ricky Saints.
00:49:32Everybody here seems to believe with their heart that you are the coolest guy in NXT.
00:49:38On the inside, Ricky Saints.
00:49:39One of the most insecure human beings we have ever.
00:49:45Ethan Page!
00:49:46When it comes to Page and Saints, it has become downright toxic between the two of these men.
00:49:52You know, you and I, we go way back, man.
00:49:54I am tired of you, Ethan Page.
00:49:57So if that means that I gotta show up and defend the North American Championship and whoop your ass,
00:50:03then head by knee, let's dance.
00:50:05Oh, my God, look out, look out, look out, look out!
00:50:14Page, he steals the spotlight and he puts fool around his waist.
00:50:21Across the steel chair, throat first.
00:50:24Saints would be diagnosed with acute trauma to his larynx.
00:50:28Ethan, bro, you messed with me up.
00:50:31This might be my best work.
00:50:33I say so.
00:50:34The champs will be standing in the middle of that ring, cap dancing on the memory of Ricky Saints.
00:50:41Ethan's ego grows more.
00:50:44Everyone always looks forward to seeing this beautiful, beautiful smile.
00:50:47All-Ego Ethan Page, the greatest North American to ever hold.
00:50:53The North American Championship.
00:50:56That's Ricky Saints! He's pissed off!
00:50:59Wants to give him a pound of flesh of Ethan Page!
00:51:02I want my rematch!
00:51:04Ricky, if you want to get to Ethan Page, you're going to have to go through WWE Revolve's hottest faction.
00:51:11The Vanity Project.
00:51:13Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.
00:51:15You can earn a shot at this championship if you survive the Vanity Project gauntlet.
00:51:23Ricky Saints cleared and ready to compete.
00:51:28I don't mind playing this little game of yours because, in fact, when I beat the gauntlet, I get the history of the stipulation for a murdery match.
00:51:37And the first man is eliminated!
00:51:40Go!
00:51:40And that's two! That's two!
00:51:49Finish him!
00:51:51Third match-up here tonight.
00:51:56Carter with a super kick!
00:51:58Ricky, right now, starting to come back.
00:52:01Looking for the Roe Sham Roe.
00:52:04And the Saints is headed to Atlanta.
00:52:10Ethan, the ball's in my court.
00:52:13Great American Bash, I'm going to dog-walk your ass all over Atlanta.
00:52:17And the best match that I know how, anything goes a Falls Count Anywhere match.
00:52:25Page, Saints, for the North American title, Falls Count Anywhere.
00:52:30That's a great American band.
00:52:39This is the revolution.
00:53:00The following is a False Count Anywhere match for the NXT North American Championship.
00:53:20Introducing first, Wiggins at 200 pounds, Ricky Sanks.
00:53:27No countouts, no disqualifications. Falls can occur anywhere.
00:53:33Graves, why do you think Sanks chose this stipulation?
00:53:37Look at the fire in Ricky Sanks' eyes tonight.
00:53:40This is a man who is ready for battle no matter the circumstance.
00:53:44And the only rules tonight, there are essentially no rules.
00:53:48That's the wheelhouse for the revolution at the Great American Bash.
00:53:57And the police, Wiggins at 225 pounds, he is the NXT North American Champion,
00:54:18All-Ego, Eupen Payne.
00:54:25Born in Canada, but says he was made in America.
00:54:30Oh, a big right hand, and here we go.
00:54:32Fight, fight, here we go.
00:54:35And Graves, the champion cannot be happy.
00:54:38And there's a big spear from the challenger.
00:54:42And again, Ethan Page can roll to the outside.
00:54:45He can be pinned right here at their feet.
00:54:47He can be pinned right here on the desk.
00:54:50He can be pinned up inside the NXT universe.
00:54:53And a challenger right now, eager to explore the surroundings.
00:54:57And Akendo has entered the bar.
00:55:01The last Falls Count Anywhere match here at NXT 2022.
00:55:06It's been three years.
00:55:08And whoa!
00:55:09I don't know, it looked like Saints hit something almost like a trash, yeah,
00:55:13a trash can of sword.
00:55:15And again, that's the dangers of this matchup, Booker.
00:55:17It can literally go anywhere.
00:55:19I mean, I don't agree with this Falls Count Anywhere match by this young man,
00:55:23Ricky Saints.
00:55:24One thing about Ethan Page, he's resourceful, man.
00:55:27He's resourceful.
00:55:28He will find a way to win in a situation like this.
00:55:31You're absolutely right, Booker.
00:55:32As eager as Ricky Saints was to make this a Falls Count Anywhere match,
00:55:35he has to realize in the back of his mind,
00:55:37this could also be very beneficial to the champion.
00:55:40Ethan Page loves to explore the territory.
00:55:44Well, they are already up amongst the sold-out crowd here at center stage in Atlanta.
00:55:51And our referee, Adrian Butler, there to count to three
00:55:54to hear somebody say, I quit.
00:55:55And Ricky Saints right now, I mean, guys, he can unleash all that anger,
00:56:00all that rage, all that frustration.
00:56:02It's all legal.
00:56:03Ricky Saints!
00:56:04Ricky Saints!
00:56:05Not only is it legal, it is encouraged.
00:56:08Falls Count Anywhere rules as if Saints needed any added motivation.
00:56:13Remember this, Ricky's a very longtime close protege of none other than Cody Rhodes.
00:56:17You know the respect that Saints had for Dusty Rhodes in his creation
00:56:22that is the Great American Bash.
00:56:23A little bit extra in the heart of Ricky Saints here tonight.
00:56:28And, I mean, Booker, you take a look at this match,
00:56:30it has to favor the challenger, does it not?
00:56:32He picked the stipulation.
00:56:33Man, I have to beg to differ, man.
00:56:35I mean, like I said, I beg to differ, because Ethan Page,
00:56:38like I say, this guy, he's very, very dangerous.
00:56:42And sometimes it's not about the win, it's about maiming his opponent.
00:56:46That's what this man is about.
00:56:47They're out in the main concourse here at center stage.
00:56:51And let's remember, it was Ricky Saints who successfully ran the Vanity Project Gauntland
00:56:55to earn this matchup to give him the right to choose this stipulation.
00:56:59Of course, begs the question, what sort of physical condition is Saints in just days after running the gauntlet?
00:57:04Spine first into a pillar on the outside.
00:57:06Now the guy's fighting in the kitchen, and right there, Ethan Page,
00:57:09he's looking for the sharp edge.
00:57:11Oh, yeah, man!
00:57:12That back just went into that solid, what would you say, cement structure, that post.
00:57:17And now there's nothing that's stopping Ethan Page.
00:57:20Page is just punishing the challenger.
00:57:23Remember, if Saints submits, even in the concession area,
00:57:26that counts as the end of this Falls Count Anywhere matchup.
00:57:30See some member, yeah, get out of Dodge.
00:57:32If you're members of the NXT Universe over there in the bar area now,
00:57:35and could be looking for Ego's edge.
00:57:37Looked like he was thinking about putting Saints into the post.
00:57:40It certainly appeared that way.
00:57:42It's all perfectly legal.
00:57:44Saints just saved his own hide by escaping.
00:57:46Now some heavy right hands on the jaw of the champ.
00:57:49Big shots, man.
00:57:51Booker, you've been in a few of these matches.
00:57:53What challenges will both these men have to overcome in this match?
00:57:56Got to stay composed of a situation like this,
00:57:59because like I say, anything can happen.
00:58:00This match could be over in a blink of an eye, man.
00:58:03Like I say, one hard shot in the wrong spot.
00:58:07Like I say, it could be over.
00:58:08Here we go.
00:58:09That's what I'm talking about.
00:58:11Over in the WWE shop area.
00:58:15Ricky Saints now, Booker's right.
00:58:17If Saints can cover him, Graves, he can win the title.
00:58:19NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT.
00:58:22Falls Count Anywhere.
00:58:24That is the cover.
00:58:26And just a two count.
00:58:28And you were right.
00:58:29That was a great observation by both of you.
00:58:31But the fact is, Ricky Saints has had the hell kicked out of himself as well
00:58:35in the early moments of this matchup.
00:58:37This has been grueling on both sides.
00:58:39I say, though, Ricky came out of the box quick, though, man.
00:58:42And with the win, Saints become a two-time North American champion.
00:58:45The fourth man to do so, joining Dominic Mysterio, Carmelo Hayes, and Johnny Gargano.
00:58:52And it seems, finally, these two have fought their way back in somewhat ringside.
00:58:58Ricky Saints!
00:58:59Ricky Saints!
00:59:00Ricky Saints!
00:59:02Ricky Saints!
00:59:02Ricky Saints!
00:59:02Whoa!
00:59:05Reversed into the steel ring stairs, and that could be the game-changer all Ego was looking for.
00:59:12Exactly what I'm talking about, man.
00:59:13Quickly, Ricky Saints was grabbing at his right shoulder.
00:59:17And now, again, everything legal.
00:59:21Man, right to the gut, baby.
00:59:24I love to take him inside and finish him off.
00:59:28We want tables!
00:59:30We want tables!
00:59:33We want tables!
00:59:35Make no mistake about it.
00:59:36Ethan Page will not hesitate to re-damage them.
00:59:40Oh, right back to the...
00:59:42Right back to that injured throat you were pointing out.
00:59:46It was in a different way here in front of us, but into the cover, hook of the leg.
00:59:50And Ricky just able to kick out, and this is something that we hadn't even talked about yet.
00:59:56Ethan Page was throwing us back.
00:59:58You know how cerebral Ethan Page is as a competitor.
01:00:01Once again, utilizing a steel chair to great effect,
01:00:06potentially re-injuring the lyrics of Ricky Saints.
01:00:09Did I tell you, this guy's about business, man, right now.
01:00:12We're straight back to the...
01:00:14Oh, got her.
01:00:16And now with that big shot.
01:00:17Oh, baby!
01:00:18Hey, guys, Booker reassigning the anatomy here at the desk again.
01:00:23And you know that Page Corey has conjured up a lot of diabolical ideas over the last week.
01:00:30Diabolical...
01:00:30Oh, my goodness!
01:00:31Almost saw it on display.
01:00:34Just getting out of dodge with Ricky Saints.
01:00:37Hey!
01:00:39Pulling off all ego!
01:00:41Everything legal!
01:00:44Championship hanging in the balance!
01:00:46The challenger certainly feeling desperate, understandably so!
01:00:50And a fire extinguisher to the body and to the spine of the champion!
01:00:53Anything goes, man!
01:00:55Anything goes!
01:00:57Watch out, guys!
01:00:58Trying to get out of dodge.
01:01:00Not a lot of room for us here inside center stage as now Ricky Saints back in control of this matchup.
01:01:09And, well, just exposed that steel guardrail.
01:01:12Did he just rip that?
01:01:14Corey, you got a better angle than I did.
01:01:16Yeah, yeah, he has detached the upper part of the guardrail from the base.
01:01:22And just slammed it across the body of the fallen champion!
01:01:25You saw Ricky reach for that throat for a moment.
01:01:30Again, let's not forget the issues that run deep between these two.
01:01:33It was Ethan Page who interrupted Ricky Saints' contract signing.
01:01:37It's everything they've gone through.
01:01:39All the battles that they've had!
01:01:40Man!
01:01:42When we talk about Ethan Page sidelining Ricky Saints several weeks ago.
01:01:48But, Booker, do you truly believe the long-standing issue between these two is going to end today?
01:01:53No, it's not going to end. I mean, this thing is just beginning.
01:01:56I mean, these guys are going to fight throughout their careers.
01:01:59They may be buddies. They may be pals after it's all over with.
01:02:02But right now, it's about what? Jackson Championship, man!
01:02:05And, oh!
01:02:07And, oh, yes!
01:02:07It's like the damage hurting the other.
01:02:10And I'm just looking up for my monitor, Corey.
01:02:12I don't know if you see the same thing I do on that right shoulder,
01:02:15but it looks like there's a welt and a bruise starting to show on Ricky Saints
01:02:19after going into the steel steps here to the right.
01:02:22I think you're accurate in your assessment,
01:02:25but Saints fight through the pain, muscling up the champion.
01:02:29Not necessarily looking for maybe Rochambeau, but countered by Page!
01:02:34Challenger right now, precarious position.
01:02:36And, oh! Just got his neck crunched!
01:02:39Now, did you see the way Saints' neck collapsed into that top turnbuckle?
01:02:44That was gnarly, dawg. That was gnarly.
01:02:46And right now, Ethan Page is looking to finish this thing in a big, big way!
01:02:52That's one of those devilish ideas that Page has dreamed up.
01:02:57Now, what is he thinking?
01:02:59Now, these ideas may be diabolical, as you said, Nick,
01:03:02but if they work, you have to call them genius.
01:03:04And up top, and that time it didn't work out for the champion!
01:03:08Eggfire!
01:03:09Page could be out!
01:03:11Saints right now could be on the verge of becoming a two-time champion!
01:03:16And, and, and, and Page left shoulder just getting up.
01:03:22Take a look around.
01:03:24You can feel the tension here in Atlanta.
01:03:27Saints made the most of a tiny opening
01:03:29and turned the tides of this North American Championship match,
01:03:33driving Page face first.
01:03:35Now it's Saints with the opportunity to do a little construction of his own.
01:03:39Again, these two know each other so well.
01:03:41Page beat Saints for the title in May.
01:03:43No way.
01:03:44Saints beat Page for the title.
01:03:45No way to do this.
01:03:46Ed's standing to look!
01:03:47No, no, no!
01:03:48Oh, God!
01:03:49The spine on the top of those steps!
01:03:51And Page right now quickly realizing it.
01:03:53Page right now pulling, trying to yank up Ricky Saints,
01:03:57looking for that suplex, bending that steel guardrail in half.
01:04:00That's gotta do it!
01:04:02And it's into the cover for the title!
01:04:05There wasn't a lot, Booker.
01:04:06You gotta be kidding me.
01:04:07There was not a lot on that kick out.
01:04:09Let me tell you right now,
01:04:09I don't know what Ricky Saints got that from, but right there,
01:04:12that had to be all inch deep,
01:04:14especially with a shot like that.
01:04:16I don't want to see it again.
01:04:18Spine, kidneys,
01:04:19first into the steel, not once, but twice.
01:04:24And somehow, Saints able to survive.
01:04:27We are sold out in center stage.
01:04:29This is the Great American Bash.
01:04:31A huge weekend for the WWE here in Atlanta,
01:04:35but this one about the North American title,
01:04:37it's Falls.
01:04:37Oh, count anywhere.
01:04:40No countouts.
01:04:41No disqualifications.
01:04:42Falls can occur anywhere.
01:04:44And if it's up to all ego, Ethan Page,
01:04:46Goldberg won't be the only superstar having his final match this weekend.
01:04:50Page looking to end Saints once and for all.
01:04:53Ethan Page believes he is a North American icon
01:04:56that others should base their life on.
01:04:59And it's Ethan Page who is slowly,
01:05:03methodically, almost now,
01:05:05it looks as if he's enjoying himself.
01:05:08The champion savoring the suffering of Ricky Saints.
01:05:13What is all ego looking for here?
01:05:16Just rearranged the furniture a little bit.
01:05:19A little bit?
01:05:20He just stacked how many chairs?
01:05:22Four steel chairs.
01:05:23And it's going to be a nasty landing for Ricky Saints.
01:05:26Saints trying everything he can do to hold on.
01:05:29Because, Corey, you're right,
01:05:30this could end Ricky Saints.
01:05:32Saints has his feet hooked under that turnbuckle strut for the moment.
01:05:36Biting.
01:05:36Wait a minute.
01:05:37Challenger biting the champion.
01:05:39It's all legal.
01:05:40Biting means necessary.
01:05:42Oh, my God.
01:05:43Oh, cover that man, Ricky, but someone's taken out of Saints.
01:05:46Saints right now trying to crawl into the cover.
01:05:48Putting his shoulders down.
01:05:50Covering the champion for the title.
01:05:51And again, that egomaniac able to kick out.
01:05:56And Page wisely looking for respite on the outside
01:05:58as we look again at the power bomb
01:06:01delivered across four steel chairs by the challenger.
01:06:05I agree, Atlanta.
01:06:11This is awesome.
01:06:12Unfortunately, it may lead to shorter careers
01:06:15for one of or both of these men.
01:06:17Well, again, this is false count anywhere.
01:06:19Right now, they're almost around the loading dock area.
01:06:24Over by the seamstress area here in the locker room.
01:06:28Again, false count anywhere.
01:06:30This matchup could end right there on the ironing board.
01:06:32Could end right there on the couch.
01:06:34Oh, my God.
01:06:43Innovative offense from Ricky Saints.
01:06:45Oh, my God.
01:06:46Got to use your environment, though, right, Corey?
01:06:48Oh, baby.
01:06:48Baby the game.
01:06:50That's a dangerous area right there, guys.
01:06:53Is that a flip-flop?
01:06:55I believe the preferred nomenclature is chancla.
01:06:58Oh, whatever it is.
01:07:00Oh.
01:07:00Is that Jasper Troy?
01:07:04It certainly is.
01:07:04What the hell?
01:07:05And that is a black hole slam onto that road case.
01:07:09Yes!
01:07:11What?
01:07:12Again, there's no disqualification.
01:07:14I don't know if that was by design or pure happenstance.
01:07:16Either way.
01:07:17You don't piss that big man off.
01:07:19Watch out, Booker.
01:07:19They're right here to our right.
01:07:21And Ethan Page saw it.
01:07:22He realized it.
01:07:24Jasper Troy just inserting himself into this matchup.
01:07:29You expect he's a little hot right now.
01:07:32Obviously, he is for what happened to kick off the night here at the Great American Bash.
01:07:37And again, whoa.
01:07:40Oh.
01:07:40Oh, Ricky answering back, big right hand.
01:07:46Page sent spilling out to the ramp.
01:07:48That was smart, greeting a little distance right there.
01:07:51What a fight this has been.
01:07:53Oh.
01:07:54Ethan Page turning it around.
01:07:57Looking for it.
01:07:57No.
01:07:59Yeah, it looks like he was again looking for Ego's edge, trying to overpower Ricky Saints.
01:08:05Saints, though, staying right on top of the champion.
01:08:07Did he just use the referee?
01:08:11Tornado DDT with an assist from Adrian Butler for the title.
01:08:15And the left shoulder up.
01:08:17I don't know if I saw that correctly, but that would be some more innovative offense from the challenger.
01:08:22Innovative.
01:08:23If it wasn't the referee, it was the LED board behind him.
01:08:26Let's look again.
01:08:27I think you might be right, Nick.
01:08:29What do you mean innovative?
01:08:30You referees should have disqualified him.
01:08:32There's no disqualification, Booker.
01:08:34What are you not understanding that you've been in these matches?
01:08:36That's a little different.
01:08:37But he hit the ref.
01:08:38He hit the ref blatantly.
01:08:39Booker, I think your medulla oblongata is malfunctioning.
01:08:42He doesn't even know where medulla oblongata is.
01:08:44And Ricky Saints now.
01:08:45Right here.
01:08:46He's right here.
01:08:47Could be looking for Roshan.
01:08:49Oh, no.
01:08:51They're up near our camera crew at this junction.
01:08:54There is next to no real estate to work with up there.
01:08:56No, no, no, no, no.
01:08:58Page looking for Ego's Edge.
01:09:01Did he do it?
01:09:02This could be it.
01:09:04Oh, my God.
01:09:04No.
01:09:05No.
01:09:07Stop the match.
01:09:11Wow.
01:09:12Page fall into the cupboard.
01:09:17And Ethan Page survives Falls Count Anywhere.
01:09:25Here is your winner and still the NXT North American Champion,
01:09:33All Eagle, Ethan Page.
01:09:38We've got to get some medical staff out here to check on Saints.
01:09:42That man is broken.
01:09:47Did you hear Ethan Page screaming?
01:09:53Take another look at this.
01:09:55I'm still at a loss for words.
01:10:04I mean, that's got to be easy.
01:10:0510, 12 feet from the top of Saints head down to the floor.
01:10:11I mean, absolutely unreal.
01:10:15And for Ethan Page with a twisted grin on his face is still the North American Champion.
01:10:28Tonight only.
01:10:57Save up to 30% off site-wide.
01:11:03Here we go.
01:11:27I'm out here clearing my head before the biggest match of my life.
01:11:40Tuesday night, the final battle of the D'Angelo family.
01:11:43And I never thought that I would say this, but I'm actually glad that it's coming to an end
01:11:47because Tuesday night begins the ascent of Luca Crucifino.
01:11:51It's time for me to step up and not be seen as this background lawyer,
01:11:55but be seen as to what I came here to be seen as.
01:11:58That's a WWE superstar.
01:11:59A championship contender.
01:12:01A top guy.
01:12:02A guy that can not only carry a family.
01:12:04A guy that can carry this entire brand.
01:12:06And that's not Stax because Stax is so focused on his social media challenges
01:12:10and his little list that he's overlooking me.
01:12:13And Tony D'Angelo was so blindsided and so butthurt by Stax that he's also overlooking me.
01:12:18And that D'Angelo's model for years has been, it's all about family.
01:12:23No.
01:12:23Well, after Tuesday night, it's all about Luca Crucifino.
01:12:32Well, there is our champion getting ready, Obafemi.
01:12:37Does he leave Atlanta with the gold?
01:12:40He faces Yoshiki Inomore here tonight at the Great American Bash.
01:12:44And the question becomes, will he be the champion, that being Obafemi,
01:12:48the next time NXT is on the road because we are coming to the hometown of The Undertaker
01:12:52and Booker T.
01:12:54Oh, yes, man.
01:12:55LFG finale going down.
01:12:58Don't miss out.
01:12:59Don't get shut out.
01:13:01It's going to be good.
01:13:02July 22nd.
01:13:03We will be, you're excited, aren't you?
01:13:05We will be in Houston.
01:13:07But here's who else is going to be joining us in Houston, Texas.
01:13:10As Booker just mentioned, the LFG Season 2 coaches.
01:13:14One of the newest Hall of Famers, Michelle McCool.
01:13:17Fellow Hall of Famer, Bubba Ray Dudley.
01:13:19Of course, the legend, the phenom, the undertaker.
01:13:22And our broadcast partner, Cory Booker T.
01:13:25We will all be live Tuesday, July 22nd in Houston.
01:13:29But I got some breaking news from the desk of our general manager, Ava.

01:14:16Do you know how many opportunities there are for me to celebrate after everything that I've done in my career?
01:14:24Multiple-time women's champion, first woman to win the main event of WrestleMania,
01:14:30New York Times best-selling author,
01:14:32And now, women's Intercontinental Champion.
01:14:39I should be happy to know because of that disingenuous shame to my hometown.
01:14:48Lyra Valkyria ruined everything.
01:14:54Since you started trying to ruin my life, I have changed.
01:14:58By trying to hold me down, all you did was unlock the side of me that is capable of destroying you.
01:15:08You're going to apologize.
01:15:10You're going to...
01:15:12Bayley!
01:15:13Bayley Air Force Saint Becky Lynch!
01:15:17Becky Lynch, if you think you taking me out for WrestleMania hurt me,
01:15:23if you think it broke me, I want you to know that you're wrong,
01:15:26that it made me stronger!
01:15:28I'm coming straight for you, and I'm knocking you down,
01:15:31and I'm taking everything that you took from me!
01:15:35Intercontinental Championship up for grabs!

01:15:54And wait a minute, Valkyria now attacking Becky!
01:15:57That's going to cause a disqualification!
01:16:00What the hell are you doing?
01:16:01This was my match!
01:16:04If this is my calling...
01:16:06For walking through a burning rain...
01:16:11This title is meant to be about opportunities...
01:16:14But the greatest opportunity this title ever got was when I won it!
01:16:18I think it's time I took it back!
01:16:20My title!
01:16:21I think it's time I took it back!
01:16:23I should be standing here as the Intercontinental Champion,
01:16:27if it wasn't for you, and I damn sure don't need any more friends!
01:16:31Fighting all my answers!
01:16:33And leaving inside!
01:16:35You don't care about friendship, you know what that makes you?
01:16:40Just like her!
01:16:42So we gotta...
01:16:43So we gotta...
01:16:44We gotta...
01:16:45We gotta...

01:16:53At Evolution, I beat Bayley, I beat Lyra!
01:17:01I sat front row when you won that championship,
01:17:04and then I watched you lose, and you raised her hand like a little bitch!
01:17:15At Evolution, I have to rescue that championship from two massive disappointments!
01:17:22And then you become alive!
01:17:28And watch it turn to flames!
