00:00:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:00:24Introducing first, from London, England,
00:00:26Blake Monroe!
00:00:30I want to be real for a second book,
00:00:32and ask you something serious.
00:00:34What does Blake gain by making a mockery of Jordan Grace,
00:00:38like she has for about the last month or so?
00:00:41What does she gain out of it?
00:00:42Look, man, it's about stopping all momentum that Jordan Grace
00:00:45perhaps may have here at NXT,
00:00:48and just throw it all on yourself.
00:00:50Man, look at the spotlight.
00:00:51Warriors, Warriors, it's on the mega-flung bombshell.
00:00:55Oh, yes, man!
00:00:59It's not over until I win.
00:01:01And her opponent, from Austin, Texas, Jordan Grace!
00:01:19Well, she's gonna be shaking in her boots right now,
00:01:23should Blake Monroe, because Jordan Grace is focused.
00:01:27Let's just cut to it.
00:01:28Do you think Grace is good enough?
00:01:29Because her opponent has said time and time again, she is not.
00:01:33Oh, hell yeah.
00:01:34Jordan Grace, she's good enough.
00:01:35She just needs to get out of her head.
00:01:37Jordan Grace thought it was gonna be cakewalk here at NXT.
00:01:40She's won titles everywhere she's gone.
00:01:43Except, except right here at NXT.
00:01:46She's got to get past the mega-flung bombshell here tonight.
00:01:50Oh, yes, man!
00:01:51Well, this has gotten personal fast between these two.
00:01:56I'll read the bell!
00:01:57As we are set to go, and right up.
00:01:58Oh!
00:02:05Yeah, that might be the smartest thing Blake Monroe ever did.
00:02:08Where are you running?
00:02:09There's nowhere to run, Book!
00:02:12That's a strategy.
00:02:13That's a strategy.
00:02:14Don't hide behind.
00:02:15Holy crap!
00:02:16Don't hide behind me!
00:02:25You okay?
00:02:26I got scared.
00:02:27Oh!
00:02:28That's pressed by Jordan Grace!
00:02:30Hey, Grace right now right on top, and she said she's gonna show
00:02:33Blake Monroe how, what ugly truly can be.
00:02:37And she may not be looking for a win here.
00:02:39She may just want to make Blake Monroe pay.
00:02:41No.
00:02:42No, I don't believe that.
00:02:43I mean, Jordan Grace definitely wants to win
00:02:44because she wants to put herself in line to win gold here at NXT.
00:02:48Trust me on that.
00:02:49I think this is also exactly why you've been trying to tell me
00:02:52over the last several years, there are no friends in this business.
00:02:56I mean, come on, you gotta understand, Blake, she played Jordan Grace.
00:03:01I mean, she just threw her in and just played on all of her emotions.
00:03:05I mean, going to the spa, getting the treatments and all that, the glamour look.
00:03:10Oh, yes, man.
00:03:11I mean, how would you feel if you were Grace?
00:03:12If you were called pathetic?
00:03:14If you were played as you just said, you'd be pissed too, wouldn't you?
00:03:17No.
00:03:18The thing is, I'm not gonna put myself in that position.
00:03:20You look at the scammer, they call you.
00:03:22They call you in your phone.
00:03:23They want your bank information.
00:03:24That's what that's all about.
00:03:25Well, Grace is known worldwide.
00:03:27Grace, a multiple-time world champion, showing she belongs in the WWE.
00:03:34Even you have to appreciate the journey of Jordan Grace,
00:03:37and that was a very short trip for Blake Monroe.
00:03:41Oh, no.
00:03:42I appreciate it 100%.
00:03:43I mean, Jordan Grace, she stepped right into the deep waters here at the WWE,
00:03:47and she's willing to prove her medal, and I love that.
00:03:51I'm gonna go back, really, to last month, too, because Grace, we could make an argument,
00:03:55could be the NXT Women's Champion right now, if not for Blake Monroe,
00:04:01costing her an evolution last month in Atlanta.
00:04:04I don't believe it would have could have showed us, Vic.
00:04:06I mean, right now, I mean, Blake Monroe, she did exactly what she needs to do
00:04:09to put herself in position for this man.
00:04:11Pete George, Grace.
00:04:12Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:04:13Oh, yes.
00:04:14Pete George, Grace, you're at the top of the food chain, man.
00:04:16Well, Blake Monroe just ripped Jordan Grace.
00:04:20Ripped.
00:04:21Jordan Grace down.
00:04:23Spine first.
00:04:25Went Grace across those steel steps.
00:04:27Think about it.
00:04:28Oh, and now again, Blake continuing to pry the ropes.
00:04:30Think about it, Vic.
00:04:31Who's one of the biggest threats in the women's division right now today?
00:04:34It's Jordan Grace.
00:04:35You want to take out that threat.
00:04:37You want to do it quick.
00:04:41Well, Blake Monroe would love to have a count-out victory,
00:04:43but Jordan Grace, this means a little bit more to her tonight.
00:04:47All cruelty springs from weakness.
00:04:49There's a lot of cruelty coursing through Blake Monroe's veins since she arrived here in NXT.
00:04:56You even have to think that all the things Blake has said, all the things she has done,
00:05:02all the violent, villainous things.
00:05:04Into the cover goes Blake Monroe hooks leg and kicking out.
00:05:07Blake has shown just how ugly she can be.
00:05:09It's a business.
00:05:10That's the way she's supposed to be.
00:05:11I mean, I like the injury prowess of Blake Monroe.
00:05:15My thing is, you know what?
00:05:16You know what?
00:05:17I'm going to put in my fave five.
00:05:18I'm going to do it tonight.
00:05:19I'm going to put in number one.
00:05:20Right now, Blake Monroe is number one in Booker Team's fave five.
00:05:23And there it is.
00:05:24Breaking news.
00:05:25And oh, drop kick from Blake.
00:05:27I think you're just trying to make up for messing up her name in Houston.
00:05:30As Jordan Grace rocked to the outside.
00:05:32And Blake Monroe, all joking aside, is in control of this matchup and looking to make a serious statement in the women's division here in NXT.
00:05:42And now just trying to continue to maybe rip away at the arm.
00:05:46Rip away at the shoulder.
00:05:47Because, frankly, if you take away Jordan Grace's power, you've taken away her game.
00:05:51No, no.
00:05:52Blake Monroe, she's not just a pretty face.
00:05:54She's showing it right now.
00:05:55It's all about going out in the middle of that ring and proving that you are the best that you can stand across from anybody in the middle of that square circle.
00:06:02And she's throwing it.
00:06:03Here she goes.
00:06:04Wow.
00:06:05Grace able to kick out.
00:06:07Blake Monroe has said time and time again, she believes the spotlight was invented for her.
00:06:13I mean, Heat Wave right now on social media is ablaze.
00:06:16I'm sure Blake will take all the credit.
00:06:18As now it's Monroe looking for a submission.
00:06:20George Grace doing a nice job of keeping her hands grasped and trying to roll over for a cover.
00:06:25And that forced Blake Monroe to relinquish the hold.
00:06:29And then what a kick.
00:06:31And now it's easy to see Blake Monroe has targeted a body part.
00:06:35And she is trying to systematically take apart the juggernaut.
00:06:39Beautiful one.
00:06:40Beautiful one.
00:06:41I always talk about the playbook.
00:06:42But right now Blake Monroe is one, maybe two, three steps ahead of John Grace.
00:06:47John needs to put the hammer down to bring out that juggernaut.
00:06:50And she wants to get a victory here.
00:06:52Well, Grace now trying to get back into it.
00:06:55Shake off a little bit.
00:06:56And weather that early storm from Blake Monroe.
00:06:59Grace who came with a lot of emotion.
00:07:01Maybe she's trying to harness some of that as Monroe coming in.
00:07:04Coming in and oh!
00:07:06Sling blade.
00:07:07Again back to my point.
00:07:08For another cover and another kick out.
00:07:10I mean Blake just a step ahead.
00:07:12Just a bit faster than John Grace right now.
00:07:15Blake Monroe who you have dubbed your MBBS in this match.
00:07:20You want to give us what those letters mean again?
00:07:22What is that?
00:07:23Mega Blonde Bombshell.
00:07:25Oh okay, I like that.
00:07:26Mega Blonde Bombshell!
00:07:27Oh yes!
00:07:28I like that rhythm.
00:07:29Forgetting your own shit already.
00:07:30I like that.
00:07:31I like that right there though.
00:07:32Now another submission right now by Blake Monroe.
00:07:34And look, if you're Blake Monroe, you got to figure out a way to take away the power.
00:07:38But somehow...
00:07:39Oh baby!
00:07:40Jordan Grace continuing to fight!
00:07:42And how smart!
00:07:43How smart that was at Jordan Grace.
00:07:45She knew she didn't have all the strength.
00:07:47She used her environment to her advantage.
00:07:49Oh, we're going back there.
00:07:50Let's take another look.
00:07:51Look!
00:07:52Little hot shot right there.
00:07:53Little...
00:07:54Going back little shades of hot stuff.
00:07:56Andy Gilbert right there.
00:07:58Right there.
00:07:59Jordan's at a good spot.
00:08:00A good place right now.
00:08:01Well for Jordan Grace, her personal journey.
00:08:03Her transformation is what made her into a superstar.
00:08:07Can't imagine her rage tonight.
00:08:09There's a lot of support for Jordan Grace around the world as she is trying to rise up in this match.
00:08:16Here we go baby!
00:08:17This is a fight.
00:08:18This is a fight right here.
00:08:19I love it!
00:08:23And look, Jordan Grace has also heard what you said earlier.
00:08:25There's a lot of people that think she's a fool for falling for Blake Monroe's actions.
00:08:29I mean, I mean, I mean...
00:08:30You gotta...
00:08:31Oh what it is!
00:08:32You gotta understand the point.
00:08:33I mean, I mean...
00:08:34Oh!
00:08:35Right there.
00:08:36Jordan Grace put herself in a bad, bad position to look that way.
00:08:38Right now, she got a chance to prove all the doubters that she is truly one of the best.
00:08:42Oh!
00:08:43Here we go.
00:08:44Here we go.
00:08:45Here we go.
00:08:46Here we go.
00:08:47Here we go.
00:08:48To continue to apply the pressure.
00:08:53Wardrobe is flying all over the place right now.
00:08:56Those big shots.
00:08:57Lauren Grace doesn't give a damn right now.
00:08:59She just wants to punish, hurt, and brutalize Blake Monroe!
00:09:05Beautiful spine!
00:09:06Spine Buster didn't go for the cover.
00:09:08Floated her right through.
00:09:09Front face lock.
00:09:10Jackhammer!
00:09:11Jackhammer!
00:09:12Center of the ring!
00:09:13That's it!
00:09:14Center of the ring!
00:09:15Hey!
00:09:16Hello?
00:09:17You gotta give some credit now to Blake Monroe.
00:09:19At least I have to, for showing some resiliency.
00:09:22Blake having to wear without a kick out right there.
00:09:24It shows me a whole lot about her.
00:09:25We are live in Lowell, the historic Lowell Memorial Auditorium.
00:09:32Jordan Grace, Blake Monroe, continuing to push through this matchup.
00:09:40Jordan keep clutching at that left wrist though.
00:09:43Something's going on.
00:09:44I don't want to say that.
00:09:45Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:09:46Blake better hang on for dear life!
00:09:48Blake holding on!
00:09:50Jordan Grace, possessed!
00:09:53Reverse!
00:09:55Alabama slam in Massachusetts!
00:09:58German suplex!
00:09:59That's it!
00:10:00A bridge!
00:10:01And...
00:10:02Blake again, able to kick out.
00:10:04The lone leg to Blake right there.
00:10:06Gave her the ability to kick out right there.
00:10:09That was a bad spot for Blake, but she maneuvered out of it.
00:10:18What a match!
00:10:20What a night!
00:10:21This has been thus far.
00:10:22Here for WWE Heat Wave.
00:10:25What a great steel clutching at that left wrist.
00:10:27I wonder what's going on right there, Vic.
00:10:28Well, I go back to not only the steel steps,
00:10:30but I also go back to Blake Monroe,
00:10:32who ripped Jordan Grace down to the mat,
00:10:34who was putting her shoulder time and time again into the steel post.
00:10:37And just able to walk through, step through, flow through,
00:10:41and now has another submission locked in.
00:10:43She remembers well-traveled around the world, over in Japan.
00:10:47Using some of her expertise is Blake Monroe right now,
00:10:50trying to get the juggernaut...
00:10:55Crucifix!
00:10:56Crucifix!
00:10:57Not able to keep Blake down!
00:10:58And Blake back up!
00:10:59With a big knee!
00:11:00Will this be enough?
00:11:01What a fight!
00:11:03Take a look!
00:11:05Oh!
00:11:06Picture!
00:11:07Perfect placement!
00:11:08Didn't get the job done, though.
00:11:09Still some fight left.
00:11:10In the body, the heart, and the soul of Jordan Grace.
00:11:12You had to give Blake Monroe a lot of credit, man.
00:11:13Right there.
00:11:14She's going toe-to-toe with Blake.
00:11:15Excuse me.
00:11:16With Jordan Grace.
00:11:17It's a fight, man.
00:11:18It's a hell of a fight we got here.
00:11:19You know, I go back to what you talked about, Sue,
00:11:20when you talked about Blake Monroe's arrival.
00:11:21Do you think it was premeditated, her plan,
00:11:22before her arrival to target someone like Jordan Grace?
00:11:23Like I said, you want to start with the biggest dog
00:11:25in the yard right there.
00:11:26The biggest dog is Jordan Grace.
00:11:27Here we go!
00:11:28Here we go!
00:11:29And that's a pin!
00:11:30Did you see the arms lost as well?
00:11:31Yes!
00:11:32Exactly what I was just thinking.
00:11:33Wow!
00:11:34Wow!
00:11:35I was just thinking.
00:11:36Wow!
00:11:37Wow!
00:11:38Wow!
00:11:39I was just thinking.
00:11:40Wow!
00:11:41Wow!
00:11:42Wow!
00:11:43Wow!
00:11:44Wow!
00:11:45Wow!
00:11:46Wow!
00:11:47Wow!
00:11:48Wow!
00:11:49Wow!
00:11:50Wow!
00:11:51Wow!
00:11:52Wow!
00:11:53Wow!
00:11:54Say it again for Jordan Grace.
00:11:56And Jordan Grace now can't be thinking she didn't get the win.
00:11:59Jordan Grace right now has to remember the trials and tribulations.
00:12:03Every nasty, mean, diabolical thing Blake Monroe had to say.
00:12:08Jordan Grace just perhaps let 10 to 20 valuable seconds just slip by.
00:12:13Right now, the clock is ticking, man.
00:12:16The sand in the hourglass is running out.
00:12:18Jordan Grace has to remember when Blake Monroe invited her ringside to see her debut just
00:12:23to rub it in that she wasn't champion.
00:12:26That she cost Blake the title in Atlanta.
00:12:28The ultimate mean girl might be getting taken out but just delivered a headbutt.
00:12:33Did you hear that?
00:12:34Grace is rock.
00:12:35Answer it back.
00:12:36There's a rage being unleashed.
00:12:41Another headbutt by Blake.
00:12:42Double up!
00:12:43Double up, baby!
00:12:46Wow!
00:12:51Nasty suplex!
00:12:52Blake is dangerous, man.
00:12:53Is this gonna be it for Blake Monroe?
00:12:56No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:58What is it gonna take Booker to keep Jordan Grace down?
00:13:01Blake is going deep in a playbook, man.
00:13:04This is a wildy Blake Monroe that we're looking at in the middle of this league, dawg.
00:13:11And showing you the depth of the women's division.
00:13:15And we know that Lola Vice is the number one contender.
00:13:18Cam has an opportunity at No Mercy, our next premium live event.
00:13:23And perhaps the winner of this match will find themselves on the other side of No Mercy
00:13:28with a championship opportunity.
00:13:30Jordan Grace has had a few already.
00:13:32And I just saw her body buckled.
00:13:35That arm is hanging now.
00:13:36That left shoulder just went out right there.
00:13:38Booker, what's that gonna do to a fighter that uses their power?
00:13:42I mean, she's got one arm now.
00:13:44Jordan Grace has one arm.
00:13:45Let me tell you something.
00:13:46That nerve is something, man.
00:13:48Because like I said, you can...
00:13:49Holy crap!
00:13:50No way!
00:13:51Blocking out the pain!
00:13:53My God!
00:13:54Adrenaline!
00:13:55My God!
00:13:56Jordan Grace!
00:13:57Power!
00:13:58That's it!
00:13:59You got to be kidding me!
00:14:01Holy hell!
00:14:03How?
00:14:04Unbelievable action!
00:14:11Wow!
00:14:13Lowell showing their love for both these women.
00:14:24Like them.
00:14:25Hate them.
00:14:26Gotta respect them.
00:14:27And again going to the shoulder breaking the hold.
00:14:30And that has been the focal point tonight.
00:14:33And oh!
00:14:34The stomp!
00:14:35And that, that, that turn bust was unprotected, Booker!
00:14:37Just bad positioning for Jordan!
00:14:39That could be it!
00:14:40That could be it!
00:14:41DDT!
00:14:42And Blake Monroe shocks the universe!
00:14:47Wow!
00:14:49Here's your winner, Blake Monroe!
00:14:54The universe!
00:14:55On their feet!
00:14:56Wow!
00:14:57For these two women!
00:14:58But in the end, it was Blake Monroe who was one step ahead of Jordan Grace.
00:15:01And I'm looking up, Jordan Grace can't beat 100%.
00:15:03She was able to fight through this matchup with one arm.
00:15:04But right there is how the turnbuckle became exposed.
00:15:05Jordan Grace didn't realize it.
00:15:06To deliver that reverse Alabama slam would continue to fight through the pain.
00:15:08To deliver this bone-brunching powerbomb from the top turnbuckle.
00:15:09To deliver that reverse Alabama slam would continue to fight through the pain.
00:15:10To deliver this bone-brunching powerbomb from the top turnbuckle.
00:15:11Blake Monroe would continue to fight.
00:15:12And it was Blake Monroe who was one step ahead of Jordan Grace.
00:15:17And I'm looking up, Jordan Grace can't beat 100%.
00:15:20She was able to fight through this matchup with one arm.
00:15:23But right there is how the turnbuckle became exposed.
00:15:26Jordan Grace didn't realize it.
00:15:28To deliver that reverse Alabama slam would continue to fight through the pain.
00:15:33To deliver this bone-brunching powerbomb from the top turnbuckle.
00:15:38Blake Monroe would continue to fight.
00:15:40And then right here, went low.
00:15:42And then that little exclamation point.
00:15:45Face first, followed up with that double underhook DDT.
00:15:49To seal the victory and seal the deal here at Heat Wave.
00:15:57And there is no beauty in Blake's actions.
00:16:00But very soon, Monroe might just give NXT a makeover in her own glamorous way.
00:16:07This November.
00:16:08It is quite the feeling here.

00:17:21I had it.
00:17:22It was right there.
00:17:23And then Lola turns around and beats me with a roll-up, man.
00:17:26A roll-up.
00:17:26Do you know who she is?
00:17:28Do you know who she is?
00:17:29She beat me, me, for a championship opportunity.
00:17:32You're damn right about that, Jaina.
00:17:33But look, the good news is, you wasn't going to beat JC anyway.
00:17:37Matter of fact, neither was Lola.
00:17:39There's only one woman that can beat JC for that NXT Women's Championship.
00:17:42Who's that?
00:17:43And it's the bougie bully.
00:17:44Lash, I don't know why you acting like you beat Nia last week.
00:17:47Because last time I checked, you got squashed.
00:17:51So pop up at my business, because I don't see a bougie bully anywhere.
00:17:53Now, wait a minute.
00:17:54Hold on.
00:17:56If we talk about business, I'm not in your business.
00:17:58Because I'm in that titles business.
00:18:00That's exactly where I'm at.
00:18:01But if you want to find out what this bougie bully is about, we can go.
00:18:04Stop putting it in.
00:18:05Stop putting it in.
00:18:06I can get to your...
00:18:10Excuse me, JC.
00:18:14You lost the TNA knockouts title without even getting pinned.
00:18:17What happened?
00:18:18I'm fully aware, Sarah.
00:18:19I was in the match.
00:18:20And the last thing I need right now is you pretending to be an interviewer.
00:18:25And by the way, Jasmine, you went and punched Ash in the face and you got both of them kicked
00:18:31out?
00:18:31What is wrong with you?
00:18:33Do you know what to do?
00:18:34You can't put this one on me.
00:18:36Is this a joke?
00:18:37Is she kidding?
00:18:37Don't look at me.
00:18:38Don't look at me.
00:18:39Oye, JC.
00:18:40Is there a problem?
00:18:41Wow.
00:18:42This night just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?
00:18:45And no, there's no problem here.
00:18:48Bueno, if you ask me, losing the TNA knockouts title is a problem.
00:18:52And losing that NXT Women's Championship at No Mercy, now that's a problem.
00:18:56Why don't we send you back to AAA to play with your stupid little iguana?
00:18:59What's going on here?
00:19:01You got this.
00:19:02Why do you two always show up every time that this has nothing to do with you?
00:19:06It looks like JC's little shadows didn't help her keep the TNA knockouts title after all.
00:19:12Watch your mouth.
00:19:12I know what that's called.
00:19:13It's, uh, irony.
00:19:16Did you take some TikToks before you lost?
00:19:17Hey, Sol, how does it feel to be the only double champion in WWE?
00:19:22Honestly, it feels pretty good.
00:19:24And it looks pretty good, too.
00:19:25Back to you, loser.
00:19:27I'm sick.
00:19:28Let's go.
00:19:30Bye-bye.
00:19:32Thank you, Amiga.
00:19:33Good job today.
00:19:34You did well.
00:19:36Well, the hits just keep on coming because this one is going to be special.
00:19:40NXT returns to Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida for NXT Homecoming Tuesday, September 16th, airing live on the CW.
00:19:49Get your tickets this Wednesday, 10 a.m. at etix.com.
00:19:53A special presale starts Tuesday at 10 a.m. with promo code WWETix.
00:20:00And I'll welcome you back.
00:20:01Ring sign, Big Joseph, Booker T.
00:20:03Booker, I mean, what a night this has been.
00:20:08Just say it like this.
00:20:09What a night.
00:20:09What a fight.
00:20:10That's what it's been doing.
00:20:11What about all the breaking news?
00:20:12I mean, look at here.
00:20:13Homecoming, No Mercy, Halloween, Havoc, all these huge events coming up.
00:20:17All events pre-sales begin on Tuesday.
00:20:20Tickets on sale Wednesday.
00:20:22But we still got so much more still to come here tonight, including what's coming up in a matter of moments.
00:20:28Because pride is at stake for these two teams.
00:20:32Mixed tag team rules in effect.
00:20:34Which duo leaves wool victorious?
00:20:37Have I lost all my fight?
00:20:43The following message is being paid for by the Canadian Standard of Excellence.
00:20:50Oh, Canada!
00:20:52Hello.
00:20:55I am your NXT North American champion and the greatest North American alive, all ego, Ethan Page.
00:21:02Ego.
00:21:04Kill him with a burden, kill him with a smile.
00:21:06And I am your first ever, longest reigning, most dangerous, only Canadian to ever hold the WWE United States Women's Championship Chelsea Green.
00:21:15Pledge your allegiance to Chelsea Green.
00:21:18We aren't here to win your vote.
00:21:20No.
00:21:21We are here to educate the average American WWE fan on the difference between ourselves...
00:21:27And our Heat Wave opponents, Tavion Heights and Tyra Mae Steele.
00:21:38NXT Heat Wave is upon us, and the assault from the truly, unruly American Olympic heroes on the Canadian Standard of Excellence is beyond repair.
00:21:47We wanted a peace treaty, and they chose violence.
00:21:52Oh, now it was turned into violence, guys!
00:21:55We want to stand tall proudly with our Canadian flag.
00:21:59And Tavion and Tyra want to brag about medals and talk about the dominance of the United States of America.
00:22:05She won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
00:22:07I most certainly did!
00:22:09I represented Team USA at the Olympic Games myself.
00:22:13USA!
00:22:14Tavion Heights says he is a weapon in human form, typical American, breaking every issue down to its lowest form.
00:22:25As a proud Canadian, I now feel a responsibility to introduce Tavion not to the violence, but the art of professional wrestling.
00:22:35Learn how to walk, then learn how to run, before you try and dance with all ego, buddy!
00:22:43Tyra Mae Steele wants to show off her arsenal of suplexes and believes that she will embarrass Chelsea Green.
00:22:49Ethan, we both know that isn't happening.
00:22:51I didn't get this far with Canada on my back just to get this far.
00:22:56Far be it for me to brag, but I find it really tasteless that Tyra and Tavion brag about winning medals.
00:23:04Chelsea and I are going to have to pull these two amazing, yet not-so-smart individuals into our world.
00:23:10A world where there is no trophy or medal for second place.
00:23:22A world where you win or you go home.
00:23:26Tavion, Tyra, at Heat Wave, when we are named victorious, you may go home empty-handed.
00:23:33You may go home with your pride hurt, but Chelsea and I encourage you both to stand up and salute the Canadian Standard of Excellence.
00:23:46I'm Chelsea Green.
00:23:48I'm Ethan Page.
00:23:49And we approve this message.
00:23:53The preceding message was paid for by the Canadian Standard of Excellence.
00:23:58We stand on guard for you!
00:24:141, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9!
00:24:22Yeah!
00:24:28The following contest is a mixed tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:24:35Introducing first, from Fountain, Colorado, weighing in at 260 pounds, Tavion Pies!
00:24:44Do you still believe this man made a mistake when he left the AACCC?
00:24:48Yes, yes.
00:24:49You need to let me finish the question.
00:24:50I knew exactly where he was going with this.
00:24:52I mean, look here.
00:24:52This kid right here, Tavion, he has a lot of particular, a lot of upside, but one thing
00:24:57about this thing is it's a lot different than the collegiate style.
00:25:00It's a lot different than Olympic, but this is professional wrestling.
00:25:03And sometimes you need a navigator to get you through this situation.
00:25:07I think it was a big mistake.
00:25:07And his tag team partner, she is the winner of season one of LFG, Olympic gold medalist,
00:25:19Tyra May Steele!
00:25:22NXT is hitting the road this September and coming to a city near you.
00:25:27Check out NXT Live at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, September the 5th, Charleston Area
00:25:31Convention Center, September the 6th, and Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Georgia, September
00:25:367th.
00:25:36Tickets on sale now.
00:25:38Visit Ticketmaster.com to purchase.
00:25:42Booker, you got up close and personal on LFG.
00:25:44What can we expect out of Steele tonight?
00:25:46No, I mean, she's a, she can win it.
00:25:48I mean, one thing about Tower of May Steele, she won, um, season two, I mean, season one,
00:25:53she learned from about winning and look at her neck.
00:25:55She's in a, in a match here at Heat Wave.
00:26:10And they're a pulling first accompanied by the great of Herman.
00:26:16From Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Chelsea Green!
00:26:23I don't know what was worth.
00:26:24Rome saying, Chelsea, are you standing up right now?
00:26:27You didn't stand up the last three weeks.
00:26:29Stand up, man.
00:26:30Stand up.
00:26:31It's Chelsea Green.
00:26:32Stand up.
00:26:33The Canadian contingent set for action.
00:26:37Chelsea Green, of course, from SmackDown.
00:26:39Can I sit down now, please?
00:26:41Sit down there.
00:26:42Sit down there.
00:26:43You're good.
00:26:43You're good.
00:26:43You're good.
00:26:46Respect, man.
00:26:47Respect.
00:26:49Oh, Chelsea Green.
00:26:50Dang.
00:26:51Green, of course, the first to hold the Women's United States Championship.
00:26:55Oh, say it again.
00:26:57Say it again, man.
00:26:59I will not.
00:27:00I was obligated to say it once.
00:27:02And our tag team partner from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
00:27:29Wing in at 240 pounds, he is the NXT North American Champion, All-Ego, Ethan Page.
00:27:45I don't necessarily like the guy, Booker, but I will do what you've asked me to do.
00:27:50Respect.
00:27:50Show him some respect.
00:27:51Respect.
00:27:52And it's hard to argue with the success that this man has had over the last 13 months on this plan.
00:27:58I mean, come on.
00:27:59Two-time North American Champion in record time.
00:28:02Right?
00:28:03In record time.
00:28:04That's this man right here, Ethan Page.
00:28:06You know what?
00:28:07You know what?
00:28:07NXT is just a stopping point.
00:28:10This guy got main roster potential, Tom.
00:28:13Well, let's not forget he won the NXT Championship in record time as well, winning it at this event last year.
00:28:22Thank you for correcting me on that.
00:28:23I didn't correct you.
00:28:24I was actually adding to it to show the respect because in about 10 minutes you're going to be yelling at me to show respect.
00:28:30You know what?
00:28:31I appreciate that.
00:28:31I appreciate that.
00:28:32I appreciate you.
00:28:33I appreciate me.
00:28:33I appreciate respect.
00:28:34I appreciate that.
00:28:35Chelsea!
00:28:36Chelsea!
00:28:37Chelsea!
00:28:38Chelsea!
00:28:39Chelsea!
00:28:40Chelsea!
00:28:41Yes!
00:28:42Well, the rumor is that Green sent Steele a gift basket for a maple syrup, butter cookies, candies, and an autograph 8x10
00:28:49because she is scared of the Olympic gold medals.
00:28:52You talking about skiing?
00:28:53Whoa!
00:28:54And charging right in, and here comes the only female gold medalist, Tyler Faye Steele.
00:29:03Nice little roll early on.
00:29:05And look, what stood out most about Steele during your time in LFG?
00:29:09I mean, a wheelchair win.
00:29:11Tyler Faye Steele, she's a winner.
00:29:13I mean, the thing is, she gets you a gap to this style of wrestling.
00:29:17That's the question.
00:29:18And throwing arrow, looking for the smith, Ethan Page.
00:29:21Page, oh, went right down into his partner.
00:29:25It's a nice tag team work from Height and Steele.
00:29:27Again, these are mixed tag team rules, so the men will fight the men, the women will fight the women.
00:29:33I don't like this.
00:29:34I don't like these rules.
00:29:36What don't you like?
00:29:37How about those rules?
00:29:38They're fair.
00:29:39Height fights Page.
00:29:40Steele fights Green.
00:29:41Come on, the referee.
00:29:42Did you need something?
00:29:43Come on, ref, do your damn job.
00:29:46Did you see that?
00:29:46Well, this is for Tyra Mae Steele, her first premium live event.
00:29:53How nervous do you think she could be?
00:29:55Because she looks pretty calm, cool, and collected right now.
00:29:57Tyra Mae Steele, I'm sure she's got these butterflies lining up.
00:30:00The thing is, you know, most of the bright lights hit Tyra Mae Steele.
00:30:04Let's walk up that curtain and get all these butterflies going.
00:30:06You gotta understand, she's competing at the highest level, I mean, in the Olympics.
00:30:10She's competing at the highest level.
00:30:11But you should come out here tonight and do something.
00:30:14What it is, I don't know.
00:30:17What it is right now is, you are seeing a very vocal...
00:30:24This is called timeout.
00:30:26Hold on a second.
00:30:29You're in Canada.
00:30:30We are not giving you citizenship.
00:30:32There it is.
00:30:35There it is.
00:30:36Well, would you want to be a citizen of Canada?
00:30:38No.
00:30:39I mean...
00:30:40Is that what you've been begging Ethan Page for, citizenship?
00:30:42The medical.
00:30:43The medical.
00:30:44He can't.
00:30:45We don't get into politics here.
00:30:46He's not looking for a tag.
00:30:47Ethan Page reaching out.
00:30:49It'll be Page and Tavion Heights.
00:30:51And look, Tavion Heights is used to hearing the crowd.
00:30:53He's not going to be rattled because this is a very loud, this is a very fired up, this
00:30:58is a very vocal WWE Universe here at HeatWave.
00:31:01Exactly what I was talking about right there with Ethan Page.
00:31:04This guy's a fit.
00:31:05He's got to just walk in here and in his gear and do all the damage that he's done.
00:31:09He's got to calculate this way all the way to the top.
00:31:12Umber Heights, this is just his second premium live event.
00:31:15And Ethan Page, as we've already documented, has been the NXT champion, has been the North American
00:31:21champion, has even gone back and won the North American championship again.
00:31:28And again, it was these two teams who attempted to broker peace, but those talks broke down
00:31:35due to Team Canada.
00:31:37That's what happened.
00:31:38Ethan Page threw the first punch.
00:31:40He wasn't talking about violence.
00:31:42He's the one who started it.
00:31:43He threw the first punch and he just threw the first boot right there at Tavion Heights.
00:31:48Now, look at Tavion.
00:31:50Look at it.
00:31:50Look at it.
00:31:52He's well.
00:31:53Look at it.
00:31:55Oh, I'm looking at him right now.
00:31:56I'm looking at Ethan Page, who's been in control of this matchup since he's back in.
00:32:01You see that?
00:32:02You see that O's?
00:32:03To the face.
00:32:06Team Canada in control.
00:32:08And Heights.
00:32:10Well, I've got to tell you what.
00:32:11I don't think Heights has been thrown around like that even in the Olympics.
00:32:14Into the cover goes Page and Heights having to power out at two.
00:32:17Beautiful textbook suplexed by the North American champ.
00:32:21Well, you may hear some members of the WWE Universe, Ethan Page actually praised the world
00:32:25only because this is where he broke a man's jaw to relight his own fire, which led him
00:32:32to the North American title.
00:32:33We don't do that in the Olympics.
00:32:35We don't break people's jaws.
00:32:36That's what's different here at NXT and a guy like Ethan Page.
00:32:40He's going to try to take you out.
00:32:42He's got that full of violence.
00:32:43He's going to try to take you out.
00:32:45Page considers himself to be the greatest North American alive today.
00:32:49I believe he's a little bit delusional, and he may be a little bit...
00:32:53He's got the title of it, right?
00:32:55Time means everything.
00:32:56He's the greatest North American ever.
00:32:57Time means everything.
00:32:58It makes him champion.
00:32:59So is he the best man to ever walk through Houston?
00:33:03Perhaps.
00:33:04You don't want...
00:33:05Yeah, you don't even know what to say.
00:33:06Look here.
00:33:06That's in his own mind.
00:33:08All right?
00:33:08Okay, so he's delusional.
00:33:09He has the right to do that.
00:33:11Anyway, Bay headbutt both men.
00:33:13Meaning of the minds.
00:33:16Hey, oh!
00:33:17And Chelsea right now not even allowing Tavion to make the tag.
00:33:23That was a cheap shot.
00:33:24See what I'm saying?
00:33:25And oh!
00:33:26That makes it feel she ain't going to get that.
00:33:28No, no, no, no, no.
00:33:28The confidence breaker into the cover.
00:33:31Kick out.
00:33:32Confidence.
00:33:32Confidence.
00:33:33Confidence.
00:33:33Confidence.
00:33:34Confidence not yet broken from Tavion Heitz.
00:33:39Able to drop Heitz in that moment.
00:33:41I'm sure Paige doesn't see it this way, but you got to applaud Heitz for going after the
00:33:51North American champion.
00:33:53And remember, the men fight the men, the women fight the women.
00:33:56And Chelsea Green not going to like the scene because she just pissed off Steele.
00:34:05And Steele right now on top of Chelsea.
00:34:09Chelsea looking around.
00:34:10She's in the wrong corner.
00:34:12Nice takedown.
00:34:13And now what's Steele trying to do?
00:34:15Is she legal?
00:34:16She is legal because the whip.
00:34:17Oh, I don't know if that was low or not, but Ethan Page paying the price.
00:34:26Oh, my stomach.
00:34:28Chelsea Green.
00:34:29What's Chelsea thinking?
00:34:30Look, your mistake right there.
00:34:31Chelsea.
00:34:31Oh.
00:34:32Look, your mistake right there.
00:34:34I love it.
00:34:35Right to the back.
00:34:37And now mocking Tavion Heitz.
00:34:40You got to understand, Chelsea Green came up the hallway in this business, man.
00:34:44Nothing was given to her.
00:34:45She had to earn everything.
00:34:46Into the cut for her.
00:34:47And Steele able to kick.
00:34:49I also want to say this about Chelsea Green.
00:34:50She just returned from Europe.
00:34:52She was in Ireland this last Friday for SmackDown.
00:34:54She helped Piper, who's on the outside, secure the biggest win of her career.
00:34:59She flew back here.
00:35:00And she is certainly not allowing anyone to upstage her.
00:35:10Chelsea wants championship gold back.
00:35:12How does Chelsea Green get back to gold, Book?
00:35:15Chelsea, the same way she got gold.
00:35:17For the first time.
00:35:18Just keep going out there and take care of business.
00:35:20In the middle of that ring.
00:35:21Just like she's doing right now with Tyra Mae Steele.
00:35:24And there was Steele.
00:35:25Steele, who does have an arsenal of suplexes, but hasn't been able to get out of the gate.
00:35:29Oh, baby.
00:35:30Car crash.
00:35:31And women with the same idea.
00:35:34And you think about this matchup.
00:35:36I look at Chelsea Green.
00:35:37I look at who's in the ring with her entire Mae Steele.
00:35:39Being the first female gold medalist has to put extra pressure on her shoulders along with Tavion Heights.
00:35:46Tag was made.
00:35:47Paige is in.
00:35:47And in comes Heights.
00:35:49And now Tavion Heights.
00:35:50Able to regroup.
00:35:51Able to refocus.
00:35:56Whoa!
00:35:58Big, big suplex right there.
00:36:00And Lowell right now getting to witness Tavion Heights becoming unleashed.
00:36:07And you got to contribute.
00:36:08Oh, my God.
00:36:09Look at the strength of this young man.
00:36:10That was absolutely unreal.
00:36:12And almost.
00:36:13You know what?
00:36:13I like Tavion Heights.
00:36:14I mean, he's got all the tools, but he's a little reckless right now.
00:36:17Kid needs to slow down just a bit.
00:36:19You got to contribute, though, to Heights.
00:36:22Oh.
00:36:25You don't hit a woman.
00:36:27I don't think he was going to do that.
00:36:29I mean, now what are you questioning Tavion Heights for?
00:36:31He would never do that.
00:36:32He said he wouldn't do it.
00:36:33He would find a woman who would.
00:36:35And that is on the outside.
00:36:38Tyra Mae Steele.
00:36:42This match rolling on here at WWE Heat Wave.
00:36:44WWE Universe, since the beginning, has been up.
00:36:48They have been fierce.
00:36:50They have been fiery.
00:36:51And now Tyra Mae Steele.
00:36:53What the hell?
00:36:54What the hell?
00:36:56Showcasing some power.
00:36:58That's illegal.
00:36:59Showcasing some strength.
00:37:01Taking out both members of the Canadian contingent.
00:37:09Oh, again.
00:37:11There's that power on display.
00:37:13It's steel now.
00:37:14No way.
00:37:15No way.
00:37:17Paige trying to hold on.
00:37:20What's Helva doing?
00:37:21She's helping.
00:37:22She's security, damn it.
00:37:24Trying to hold.
00:37:26Uh-oh.
00:37:28A little two for one.
00:37:33Steel now.
00:37:36Tip of the cap to another gold medalist.
00:37:39Kurt Angle locking in an ankle lock.
00:37:41But Ethan Page isn't legal.
00:37:43Again, it's Chelsea Green, who is a legal superstar for her team.
00:37:47Oh, fire with a superkick.
00:37:50The official that he's seen from the Camion Heights.
00:37:52Welcome to the party.
00:37:54On.
00:37:55Pretty.
00:37:56Her.
00:37:58One, two, three.
00:38:01Green just pinned an Olympic gold medalist.
00:38:05Here are your winners.
00:38:07The team of the NXT North American champion,
00:38:11All-Ego, Ethan Page and Chelsea Green.
00:38:22Tip of the cap.
00:38:23What you got to say now, bitch?
00:38:24Tip of the cap to Heights.
00:38:27And Steel tonight.
00:38:28Steel, again, with the ankle lock.
00:38:30But Ethan Page wasn't legal.
00:38:32The official here was all tied up because of Tavion Heights.
00:38:36Steel's attention was drawn to the official.
00:38:38The official was drawn to the outside.
00:38:41Fire was able to connect with a superkick.
00:38:44The official didn't see what happened.
00:38:46And then Chelsea Green taking full advantage of the situation.
00:38:54And on this night, here at Heat Wave,
00:38:59it's the North American champion, Ethan Page and Chelsea Green.
00:39:02Team Canada showing supremacy
00:39:04and proving they are the Canadian standard
00:39:08of excellence.
00:39:15I think the magic is out there under the lights.
00:39:18This is uncharted water.
00:39:21This is a calculated, coordinated production.
00:39:24A lot can go wrong.
00:39:25Tell them to go down.
00:39:27It can get bloody, it can get messy.
00:39:29Oh, no!
00:39:30That's show business, baby.
00:39:31I want to make sure it makes a noise.
00:39:33It's a sodomy that would get arrested.
00:39:35This is insanity!
00:39:36We're going to show you how the story unfolded before your eyes.
00:39:40Just getting started.
00:39:48Tomorrow, Raw takes over the United Kingdom
00:39:51with unstoppable energy.
00:39:54Here we go!
00:39:56And game-changing matches.
00:39:59An unforgettable night awaits.
00:40:03As Roman Reigns kicks off
00:40:05Monday Night Raw.
00:40:07Tomorrow, special start time, free Eastern, 12 Pacific, only on Netflix.
00:40:11World's Collide is at the Pavilion at the Thomas & Mack Center, Friday, September.
00:40:20The 12th tickets are on sale now at UNLVTickets.com.
00:40:26There he is.
00:40:33There's the ruler.
00:40:35What is this tonight?
00:40:36Eight, nine title defenses?
00:40:37Give or take.
00:40:38What do you want?
00:40:39Okay.
00:40:40I'm coming to you as a man.
00:40:42I just wanted to say,
00:40:43I think that tonight,
00:40:44the reign comes to an end.
00:40:46Who is that, sir?
00:40:47You know,
00:40:49just as well as I do,
00:40:50that the kid is a destiny, darling.
00:40:52Sure he is.
00:40:52Bro, how long have we known each other?
00:40:55I can tell that
00:40:56the grind of being a champion is wearing you down.
00:41:04I appreciate your insignificant opinions.
00:41:07Now leave.
00:41:07Look, let's just say that you prove why you're the ruler
00:41:10and Javon can't take the title from you.
00:41:14Bro, I'm next in line.
00:41:15I'm waiting.
00:41:16You saw that I beat the brakes off of Anamora, right?
00:41:20Bro, no one is holding me back anymore.
00:41:22So, champ, I'll be watching tonight.
00:41:27Good luck.
00:41:32Ava, it's been an incredible heat wave so far
00:41:35and still the NXT title match coming up next.
00:41:38But NXT has also had some exciting news tonight.
00:41:41Yes, we have a very, very busy fall schedule.
00:41:44We have our homecoming show.
00:41:46We have No Mercy and Halloween Havoc.
00:41:48But also, I have a pretty big announcement.
00:41:51I am officially bringing the men and women's speed titles to NXT.
00:41:55And I also wanted to introduce our speed women's champion, Sol Ruka.
00:41:58Hi, guys.
00:41:59Sorry, I had to bring Zarya.
00:42:01We're like a package deal.
00:42:02You guys are perfect for each other.
00:42:04But, Sol, you are going to be defending your women's speed title at No Mercy.
00:42:08Ooh, okay.
00:42:10Against who?
00:42:11Well, starting on September 2nd, there's going to be a tournament.
00:42:13It'll be one superstar from Raw or SmackDown,
00:42:16one superstar from NXT,
00:42:18one wrestler from TNA,
00:42:19and one wrestler from AAA.
00:42:20Whoever wins, that's your opponent.
00:42:22Yeah, see, I told you Need for Speed was a good one.
00:42:25Come on.
00:42:28Good luck at No Mercy, Sol.
00:42:30Oh.
00:42:31Oh.
00:42:33Well, that is a huge announcement from our general manager,
00:42:36who has also signed off on this six-woman tag team matchup
00:42:40after tempers flared earlier.
00:42:42And for J.C. Jane,
00:42:43her week can go from bad to worse Tuesday night on NXT.
00:42:49Also, Lexus King is despicable.
00:42:52For his action story, Miles Bourne.
00:42:54And live on Tuesday, as we learned earlier,
00:42:56King will meet Bourne in a blindfold match,
00:42:59live on NXT.
00:43:02And the question going around,
00:43:05who will Ren Sinclair find,
00:43:07if anyone, to team with against the Cullings,
00:43:11Izzy Dame, and Tatum,
00:43:12Paxley Sinclair?
00:43:14Has 48 hours to find a partner for NXT Live this Tuesday.
00:43:19But the action's continuing here at Heat Wave.
00:43:23Who will be the NXT champion after tonight?
00:43:27Evans took The Undertaker's advice to heart
00:43:29and is challenging the biggest dog in the yard.
00:43:33Can Evans make history,
00:43:34or will the ruler continue his reign as champion?
00:43:38No words of demons don't come out in my way.
00:43:45Who sits at the top of the mountain after Stan and Deliver?
00:43:49And Oba,
00:43:50for World Race,
00:43:53it's Oba,
00:43:54Femi,
00:43:55who is still
00:43:55the NXT
00:43:57champion.
00:43:58I thought that
00:44:01I was ready for the NXT championship.
00:44:03I think now I can say that
00:44:04I wasn't.
00:44:06A heartbreaker for Javon Evans,
00:44:08but his future
00:44:09couldn't be any brighter
00:44:11if you set it on fire.
00:44:13I feel like people
00:44:14work for these opportunities.
00:44:16I think that's what I did
00:44:17throughout this past year.
00:44:18Javon Evans,
00:44:20the number one prospect in NXT.
00:44:22I am the young OG.
00:44:23Everybody in NXT knows
00:44:26that that boy is
00:44:27Kelsey!
00:44:29Javon Evans from the heavens!
00:44:32Cut it by Javon Evans,
00:44:33and he's gonna run
00:44:34out of time!
00:44:37I experienced
00:44:37challenge after challenge
00:44:39after challenge,
00:44:39but one challenge that
00:44:40kept coming back to me
00:44:42was where I think
00:44:43what's next for the young OG
00:44:45until I got some legendary advice
00:44:47from a WWE Hall of Famer.
00:44:51You still trying to figure out
00:44:52what to do next?
00:44:53You ask me?
00:44:57You continue going after
00:44:58the biggest dog in the yard.
00:45:00The NXT champion.
00:45:03No one thrives
00:45:04under the bright lights
00:45:05quite like Ova Femi.
00:45:09NXT is supposed to be
00:45:10the brand built for the future,
00:45:12but I look at this division now.
00:45:15The future is not looking
00:45:17very bright,
00:45:18because I beat them all.
00:45:20I stopped them all.
00:45:22I've destroyed them all.
00:45:25Who is worthy enough
00:45:27to take this title from me?
00:45:30Ova Femi,
00:45:31anyone who watches NXT
00:45:33knows that Trink Williams
00:45:34is the biggest dog
00:45:35NXT has to offer.
00:45:37you keep searching for the man
00:45:39who's going to take you
00:45:39off this mountain.
00:45:40Look no further.
00:45:41I am
00:45:42that man.
00:45:45Trink!
00:45:46Yo ass goofy as hell, boy.
00:45:48The young OG met
00:45:50The Undertaker,
00:45:51and this Hall of Famer
00:45:52gave me some advice
00:45:53saying that I should go after
00:45:54the biggest dog in the yard,
00:45:56which is honestly
00:45:57Ova Femi.
00:45:59And you out here
00:46:00trying to make this
00:46:01all about yourself.
00:46:02That's a man.
00:46:03You throw the hands,
00:46:04and whoever wins
00:46:04gets to face Ova
00:46:06for the NXT championship.
00:46:07Live in Philadelphia,
00:46:11Javon Evans,
00:46:11can he get past
00:46:12Williams tonight?
00:46:13Who heads the heat wave
00:46:14as the number one contender
00:46:15to the NXT championship?
00:46:18Yes, Javon.
00:46:19You like to bounce.
00:46:20I'm about to bounce
00:46:21your ass back to high school.
00:46:23And I just saw the look
00:46:24in Javon's eyes.
00:46:25Got so much fire
00:46:27inside the other team.
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:29Oh!
00:46:29Oh!
00:46:30Oh!
00:46:31Oh!
00:46:31Oh!
00:46:32Oh!
00:46:32Oh!
00:46:33Oh!
00:46:33Oh!
00:46:33Oh!
00:46:34Oh!
00:46:34Oh!
00:46:35Oh!
00:46:35Oh!
00:46:35Oh!
00:46:36Oh!
00:46:36Oh!
00:46:36Oh!
00:46:37Oh!
00:46:37The fact that Evans
00:46:38is moving right now.
00:46:45Javon, for the love of God,
00:46:47stay down!
00:46:49Wait, wait, wait.
00:46:50Where'd Ova go?
00:46:52That's Mike Santana!
00:46:54Javon Evans
00:46:55getting bouncy!
00:46:57Going into the cover!
00:46:59Javon is hitting it!
00:47:01He wins!
00:47:02Ova,
00:47:02there is a new champion Sunday,
00:47:05and it's gonna be me, baby!
00:47:07he's Javon Evans!
00:47:09He's Javon Evans!
00:47:18Yo, boys!
00:47:19This is a full circle moment for Evans, if you really break it down, Book.
00:47:48Because it was right here in Lowell, he suffered the lowest point of his career, his jaw was broken in the center of the ring, and now seven months later, it could be the site of his greatest triumph.
00:48:05You know, I believe that everything they undertake has told this kid. Go out there and keep going up after that big dog. This kid right here, he's prolific. He's an extraordinary talent.
00:48:16And tonight, tonight could be his night for in Lowell, Massachusetts Heat Wave, baby.
00:48:22And you see him holding on to his ribs, there is no way he could be coming into tonight at 100% after that viral image of him flying through the air, smashing through the table in Philadelphia.
00:48:36.
00:48:44.
00:48:45.
00:48:49.
00:48:50.
00:48:52.
00:48:56.
00:48:58.
00:49:02There is the ruler.
00:49:12With the NXT Universe standing, how do you properly articulate the champion's dominance?
00:49:35No bread, no water, just me, this is a carnivore, man, it's about to get busy here tonight at Heatwake.
00:49:51Let's get things started.
00:50:05Let's go up to our ring announcer, Mike Rome.
00:50:08The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the NXT Championship.
00:50:21Introducing the challenger from Greensboro, North Carolina, weighing in at 195 pounds,
00:50:33Javon Evans, and his opponent from Lagos, Nigeria, weighing in at 310 pounds.
00:50:54He is the NXT Champion, Oba Femi!
00:51:08Javon has continued to take the Undertaker's advice, and he took that advice to heart.
00:51:15He's going after the biggest dog in the yard.
00:51:19And with the NXT Championship on the line, how can Evans topple Oba Femi?
00:51:24I don't know, I mean, you just heard that big, big, big difference between these two.
00:51:29A 116 pounds difference between these two is going to be a hell of a mountain for this young man, Javon Evans, tonight.
00:51:38Evans giving away a lot of size.
00:51:40It was Randy Orton who praised Javon Evans.
00:51:43Evans, though, knows he's going to have to go deep into his cardio bag, maybe here tonight.
00:51:47This is the fourth time the NXT title has been defended at Heatwave.
00:51:50And going back to ECW, the top men's title has changed hands only one time.
00:51:56Evans was part of that matchup last year at Heatwave.
00:51:59This is two-thirds of Stan Deliver's main event from Vegas.
00:52:02If you want to run it back, they're doing it here tonight without Trick Williams.
00:52:06This is the first time Javon Evans has ever had a one-on-one opportunity at the NXT Championship.
00:52:14He's had so many big moments since joining NXT.
00:52:17This could be the young OG's night.
00:52:20I mean, right now, you look at him, he's all taped up.
00:52:23But the adrenaline in this young man, I mean, the heart in this young man.
00:52:27I mean, he's going to have to stay on his bicycle, of course.
00:52:29He's been so close so many times, even going back to Deadline, which the men's iron survivor was overfending.
00:52:36Look at that.
00:52:36Look at that.
00:52:36So many close calls with every move.
00:52:39Oh!
00:52:39You've got to imagine the pain shooting through the body of Javon because, as I mentioned, he beat Trick Williams Tuesday in Philadelphia.
00:52:46That's great, but the damage was done.
00:52:49You see the body.
00:52:50He can't be 100%.
00:52:51Booker, if you were to throw a percentage, where would it be?
00:52:5485?
00:52:55It's hard to gauge a man's heart, Vic.
00:52:57It really, truly is.
00:52:58And this young man, he's been so close to capturing gold here in NXT.
00:53:02And trust me, trust me, he wants it.
00:53:05Otherwise, he wouldn't be here in this fight tonight against Ova Femi.
00:53:09Ova Femi like that.
00:53:10Ova Femi wants more.
00:53:11But now with Javon Evans, who just got shut down and the door slammed shut.
00:53:17Too much, too much power.
00:53:19Too much power.
00:53:20And again, Javon able to get away, got caught, though, by Ova Femi.
00:53:23And Ova just so powerful.
00:53:24Almost like he's just welcoming everything from Javon Evans.
00:53:27How much do you really have, so to speak, in the early going?
00:53:31Could be looking for a powerbomb right here.
00:53:33Javon able to counter land right back on his feet to deliver another chop.
00:53:36And now Javon Evans starting to get bouncy.
00:53:39He got caught.
00:53:41I mean, Javon Evans, he's going to be bouncy.
00:53:43He's got a lot of speed, but Ova Femi just has to be in that one spot.
00:53:49That one spot.
00:53:51Look, I don't want to discount Javon Evans.
00:53:54Because if he can win gold here tonight, it'll be the first time he's worn a championship.
00:53:58And here in Lowell, The Rock won his first title.
00:54:00The Intercontinental Championship in 1997.
00:54:04Javon Evans is also fighting for history.
00:54:06He can become the youngest champion in this brand's history to hold the NXT title at 21 years old.
00:54:13Bo Dallas was 23 when he held the title.
00:54:15You know the difference between all those guys you just talked about and what's going on here tonight?
00:54:20What was that?
00:54:21That was over 50.
00:54:22This guy right here, he's a monster, man.
00:54:25The guy is built for being champion here in NXT.
00:54:29Not just NXT.
00:54:30I'm talking about this brand, this company, man.
00:54:34When we talk about Ova Femi, we talk about the prophecy.
00:54:37Hasn't the champion fulfilled every prophecy he was ever told?
00:54:42Whoa!
00:54:43He said he would come to NXT.
00:54:45He would take over Brand.
00:54:46He would be its champion.
00:54:47Ova Femi has done everything he said he was going to do here in NXT, but there's so much more for Ova Femi.
00:54:52Oh, my!
00:54:53Ova Femi is catching another human being.
00:54:56And I don't want to start putting it into people's brains now, but if you're the official Adrian Butler, the head official here in NXT, you've got to keep an extra eye on Javon Evans, don't you?
00:55:05I mean, he may have to have him all the time, but don't count your younger guy out, man, trust me.
00:55:11And that super kick, and Ova Femi might have just realized, I'm in for a fight tonight.
00:55:15Javon Evans is smiling.
00:55:17Ova Femi now welcoming it.
00:55:19Just got caught again.
00:55:19Oh, wait a minute.
00:55:20Down, cover, and a kick out.
00:55:22It's not going to be that easy.
00:55:23Look at Javon go.
00:55:24Easily trying to get to the top rope, and right now might be a case for Javon Evans.
00:55:28How much pain can I withstand?
00:55:30Looking for...
00:55:31Oh!
00:55:34Javon saw it coming double-stop.
00:55:38And how impressed are you with the resiliency of Javon?
00:55:41Like a rubber band just snapping back.
00:55:43I'm very impressed with this kid.
00:55:44Javon Evans is going to be champion in this pitch.
00:55:47Is he going to be champion in NXT?
00:55:49It's just a matter of where.
00:55:51That's the question.
00:55:51It could be tonight, Book, as now Ova Femi, the champion, rolling to the outside.
00:55:57Javon, this might be your night, man.
00:55:59You got to keep going.
00:56:04Oh, wait a minute.
00:56:05Oh, baby.
00:56:06Oh.
00:56:08I get nervous any time I see Javon crying at us.
00:56:10Yeah, you say that again.
00:56:11Back up.
00:56:12And Ova may be looking for a chokeslam.
00:56:17Javon Evans trying to fight.
00:56:18Javon just looked over here at the table.
00:56:20He don't want that again.
00:56:21One step ahead for the O.G.
00:56:25Oh, you got called on the rebound.
00:56:30Man.
00:56:30That skillet-sized hand leaving a welt across the chest.
00:56:37Feel this impact.
00:56:38And the dominance of Ova Femi.
00:56:45You said no bread.
00:56:46No water.
00:56:47Just me.
00:56:47Just me.
00:56:49Ova is the only male superstar to be undefeated here in the WWE.
00:56:56And he's showing you why.
00:56:58The strength.
00:57:00The power.
00:57:01The will to destroy.
00:57:04Ova Femi thrives in these positions, man.
00:57:06I mean, it's something about being champ with this guy right here.
00:57:09You talk about a guy that's being pushed to the limit.
00:57:14Oh, the body.
00:57:16The body.
00:57:16Look at that weight.
00:57:17Stepping all down on the ribs.
00:57:19Nine times he's going out there competing.
00:57:21Nine times he's walked out and steel.
00:57:23You got to love him.
00:57:24That's competition at his finest.
00:57:26Celebrating his 228th day as champion.
00:57:30The longest raid since Braun Breaker was champion.
00:57:35You got to wonder who's going to beat him.
00:57:36Who can stop him.
00:57:37If Javon Evans don't do it tonight, who's going to stop Ova Femi?
00:57:41I don't know if it will happen.
00:57:43Because Ova Femi is that dominant.
00:57:45And the one thing I would say about this matchup is was Ova able to keep pace with the challenger.
00:57:52Because of the cardio.
00:57:53No, I don't think it needs to.
00:57:54I just think he needs to keep up with Javon Evans and land that one kill shot.
00:57:58That one kill shot.
00:57:59Just like that.
00:58:00Double cut.
00:58:02Buster.
00:58:02And a right shoulder coming up.
00:58:04And Javon.
00:58:05Something I'm noticing about Javon too when he kicks out.
00:58:07He's kicking out and getting immediately to his stomach.
00:58:10Trying to get to somewhat of a critical base.
00:58:13And I don't know if that's almost in his mind to try to get away from Ova as he's able to kick out.
00:58:18But it's somewhat of a strategy for Javon Evans to not have Ova get back on top of him.
00:58:23Because Javon Evans, every kick out you waste energy, right?
00:58:26It takes something out of you, right?
00:58:27Javon Evans is going to use every trick in the book he possibly can.
00:58:30And one trick in the book we always use back in the day is playing a little possum.
00:58:35That's what he may have to do tonight.
00:58:36Ova continues to wear down Javon.
00:58:45And for Ova Femi, there is a lot of talk.
00:58:49Oh, and he's shifting weight.
00:58:51And all that weight down on Javon.
00:58:53And an earfall.
00:58:54Ova Femi just set the young OG up to try that move.
00:58:57And he pulled it off.
00:58:59He went for it.
00:58:59He took the bait.
00:59:01Wow.
00:59:01Ova Femi.
00:59:03L-O-G.
00:59:04NXT Universe split here at Heat Wave.
00:59:15Look what he's laboring right now, man.
00:59:17He's laboring big time.
00:59:19And we can talk about Ova Femi, maybe, you know, how dominant he's been.
00:59:22Who can beat him for the championship.
00:59:23I mean, there is a lot of contenders in the men's division.
00:59:26It is Javon Evans here tonight.
00:59:28But again, Booker, we're looking at the future of the WWE in both these men here.
00:59:33And the main event of Heat Wave.
00:59:35You know, it's been a couple times when Ova Femi is going to run into that big brawl.
00:59:38Because it's not about the match.
00:59:40It's about the training.
00:59:41It's about the continuous training.
00:59:43Trying to go out there and compete at that level every time.
00:59:46Oh, yeah.
00:59:47Oh, yeah.
00:59:48That's it.
00:59:49And a kick out to Vox.
00:59:51Damn.
00:59:51In the fight.
00:59:52Take another look.
00:59:58Move.
01:00:02We're talking about that.
01:00:03We're talking about Vick.
01:00:04I mean, Ova just needs to keep up with the other team.
01:00:07Man, big shots like that.
01:00:09And that's what could take him to victory here tonight.
01:00:12And steal.
01:00:13And steal your champ.
01:00:14And you think of the grind that Ova was on as the longest NXT North American champion.
01:00:20He's been a dominant NXT champion.
01:00:24I mean, are these long reigns possibly starting to wear and wane on Ova Femi as he tries to look forward to the future?
01:00:31I don't think so.
01:00:32He's brought it up.
01:00:32Who can beat him?
01:00:33But, I mean, you've got to admit.
01:00:35Think about Wesley.
01:00:36Think about Wesley's body broke down.
01:00:38How much more can Ova Femi have?
01:00:39That may be the key to Javon Evans is one big lucky shot.
01:00:43Now, the question is how far can Ova Femi go, man.
01:00:46Ova's just thinking about history.
01:00:48Ova's thinking about making history.
01:00:49Like, no man has ever made a year before in this bitch.
01:00:52It's right there.
01:00:53Ova Femi's done.
01:00:54Has done that.
01:00:54Thus far in the next year.
01:00:56Like I say, it's so much more.
01:00:58So much more.
01:00:59Ova Femi just mocking Javon Evans.
01:01:01Don't play with him.
01:01:03Again, the official asking Javon, who is not going to stop, is not going to quit.
01:01:08But at what point does his body break down?
01:01:11We talk about a body breaking down and waning.
01:01:14Javon Evans did not come in at 100%.
01:01:16I don't even think he came in at 80%.
01:01:18Just a few days removed after what happened in Philadelphia.
01:01:21We're talking about the shape that Javon Evans is in right now.
01:01:24And we know Ova Femi's battle tested.
01:01:27I mean, he can go the wrong hole.
01:01:28He can work in the deep water.
01:01:30We know that.
01:01:30And that's what I was questioning about with Javon Evans.
01:01:32Does he just need to outlast Ova?
01:01:34But you bring up a good point, Booker, that Ova, doesn't matter if it's a triple threat match.
01:01:38Doesn't matter if it's a main event.
01:01:40Doesn't matter if it's stand and deliver weekend over WrestleMania or an NXT.
01:01:44He's always able to rise to the occasion.
01:01:47That's why he's been so dominant.
01:01:49But can Javon Evans be the one?
01:01:51Can Javon Evans be the man to knock him off the pedestal?
01:01:54Javon, what a backbreaker.
01:01:56Beautiful.
01:01:56He would have just broken the spirit of Javon.
01:02:00And now on Choke Slam.
01:02:01I don't think so.
01:02:03I don't think so.
01:02:03I think it's going to be a quick night right here.
01:02:05It's over.
01:02:05Into the cover.
01:02:06It's over.
01:02:06Off the Choke Slam.
01:02:08And a kicker.
01:02:08You got to wonder if that Choke Slam was a message to The Undertaker.
01:02:11Because let's not forget it was The Undertaker who went up to Ova Femi and said,
01:02:14Get ready because some of my boys are coming to your yard.
01:02:18He went up to Javon Evans and said,
01:02:20There's going to be people coming for you.
01:02:21He told Javon Evans to keep going after the biggest and the baddest.
01:02:25Javon Evans right now may just be going on instinct.
01:02:29But for Ova Femi, he may be trying to prove a point,
01:02:32not just to the locker room here in NXT,
01:02:34not just to Raw and SmackDown,
01:02:35but to someone like The Undertaker.
01:02:37Yes, at the expense of this young kid right here.
01:02:40The other kick may have put this kid in a position that he perhaps not,
01:02:43perhaps wasn't ready for more than anything
01:02:46because Ova Femi, like I said, he's battle-tested.
01:02:48He's a guy that's going to go out there.
01:02:49And like I said, he gets you lined up.
01:02:51He's not going to wait.
01:02:53He's not going to hesitate.
01:02:54He's going to pull the trigger man.
01:02:55We've seen that already in this matchup.
01:02:57The gut busting.
01:02:58The back breakers.
01:03:00The vicious shots to the spine.
01:03:02He's toying with Javon Evans right now.
01:03:05Just like a bear.
01:03:06You know, just toying some meat.
01:03:10Oh!
01:03:11Javon just stood back up in defiance.
01:03:13Javon Evans.
01:03:16Javon, ducking a couple, throwing his own rights.
01:03:20And Javon right now, this may be his moment again.
01:03:22I'm saying it because Javon at some point is going to have to unleash the tank.
01:03:26Javon Evans is going to have to go for broke.
01:03:28I tell you, Undertaker right now, he's probably watching this right now
01:03:31because of something he believed in.
01:03:33Sitting in the pocket, throwing hands.
01:03:35That's what Javon Evans is doing right now.
01:03:37No, this didn't work earlier, Javon.
01:03:39It's going to work this time.
01:03:42Oh, baby, from the athletes.
01:03:46Javon charging right back in.
01:03:48You can feel that momentum, Booker, because the dream is free.
01:03:52Are you willing to pay the price for the journey?
01:03:55Here we go.
01:03:55Number for the title.
01:03:58Oh, and Ovo right shoulder off the mat.
01:04:01Javon Evans, though.
01:04:04Don't know where he gets it from.
01:04:06And it might just be slam shut here and right now.
01:04:08Javon trying to counter-dick DDT.
01:04:11That was a big shot.
01:04:12That was a big shot.
01:04:13You better cover him, Javon.
01:04:15Champions planet.
01:04:17Challenger crawling.
01:04:19Title on the line.
01:04:24Main event of WWE Heat Wave.
01:04:30Splash.
01:04:32But so much taken out.
01:04:33Came up a little short right there.
01:04:35And again, you got to wonder.
01:04:37The body for Javon.
01:04:38How much is in Javon?
01:04:39How much has been taken out of Javon?
01:04:42Everything.
01:04:42Every moment.
01:04:46So much for Javon on the line right now.
01:04:55You know, high risk.
01:04:56It's high reward, right, Book?
01:04:58That's what Javon Evans is going right now.
01:04:59I don't know if he hypersetted his team.
01:05:01He just don't give a damn.
01:05:04He went up again.
01:05:05He landed it.
01:05:06Second frog splash.
01:05:09Is it enough?
01:05:14This is those moments you think you got over feeling right where you wanted.
01:05:18But this guy, this guy over, he seemed to get more, more stronger.
01:05:22A little bit more resilient as the match goes on.
01:05:28What a main event.
01:05:30Javon, now trying to beat down Ova.
01:05:38Going to the body.
01:05:39Going to the body.
01:05:40Trying to break the ball.
01:05:41Got a shot.
01:05:42Back up by Ova with a big shot.
01:05:44And right back goes the challenger.
01:05:45The challenger champion with a boot.
01:05:49Challenger.
01:05:50Oh, German suplex.
01:05:51Beautiful, German.
01:05:52Look at that.
01:05:53What?
01:05:54He's got to be kicked.
01:05:55What?
01:05:56No way.
01:06:01Oh, baby.
01:06:05And we've seen this.
01:06:07I told you.
01:06:08In time.
01:06:09In time.
01:06:11A corner.
01:06:12A corner.
01:06:13Javon.
01:06:14Ova's a man.
01:06:15Kiss us.
01:06:16Oh, my God.
01:06:18That's it.
01:06:20Oh, my God.
01:06:22What?
01:06:24What?
01:06:26You serious?
01:06:32That cover came out of nowhere.
01:06:35Javon went one more time.
01:06:37Not caught.
01:06:38Somehow.
01:06:40Javon kicked out.
01:06:42Can't believe the action here tonight, guys.
01:06:45Ova should have been out for that cover because he ran right in.
01:06:48To it.
01:06:49But like I say, so resilient.
01:06:50Ova should be out from the cutter.
01:06:52Javon should be out after the European uppercut from the top rope.
01:06:57Both these men.
01:06:59This is awesome.
01:07:02This is awesome.
01:07:04Oh, baby.
01:07:05Ova's looking to plant that final signature.
01:07:08This is awesome.
01:07:11This is awesome.
01:07:12This indeed is awesome.
01:07:13This, our main event, NXT Championship, is on the line.
01:07:19And Javon Evans is pulling himself up.
01:07:21And right now, Book, it may not be who has more skill.
01:07:25It may be about who has more will this late.
01:07:28Oh!
01:07:31That was inadvertent.
01:07:32That certainly was.
01:07:33That was inadvertent.
01:07:33Our official wiped out.
01:07:37Javon, back to the top.
01:07:42And again, the power, Booker.
01:07:44Again, the strength.
01:07:46The raw power.
01:07:47Oh, no!
01:07:49Oh, no!
01:07:50That's the young OG right there.
01:07:53This ring powers is unbelievable.
01:07:55Javon!
01:07:56Javon!
01:07:56Cutter!
01:07:58You've got to remember, he can be beat, Javon!
01:08:00He's doing it, dude!
01:08:01Got him again!
01:08:04There's another run!
01:08:05Derek Sanders!
01:08:06Cutter!
01:08:07Cutter!
01:08:07Adrian Butler.
01:08:25Adrian Butler, the original official, got up and noticed.
01:08:30I believe that Ova's front of his foot was under the rope.
01:08:34Waving him off.
01:08:35He's back in this matchup.
01:08:37Going for middle of the road.
01:08:38Did not connect.
01:08:42Bad situation for the young OG there.
01:08:44That should have been a three count.
01:08:46Bad situation.
01:08:48Could be getting worse.
01:08:49Holy!
01:08:50Holy!
01:08:57Ova, Femi!
01:08:59With no remorse for human life.
01:09:04A gone man.
01:09:08Back into the ring.
01:09:10And another challenger.
01:09:13Suffering a fall from grace.
01:09:21Here is your winner and still.
01:09:25The NXT champion, Ova, Femi!
01:09:40Trying to make sure we're all good here.
01:09:42That is the official.
01:09:44Adrian Butler, the head official, was wiped out in this matchup by Ova Femi.
01:09:49This matchup would continue.
01:09:51And right here, a beautiful cutter.
01:09:53Off the counter.
01:09:54That was Javon Evans' opportunity.
01:09:55He had the man down.
01:09:57He had the man rocked.
01:09:58He had the man shook.
01:09:59He went for the cover.
01:10:01The new official, Derek Sanders.
01:10:03And that is right there.
01:10:04I know Sanders hit the three.
01:10:06There's going to be people that are angry.
01:10:07But the original official saw that Ova Femi's foot was under the rope.
01:10:12This match would continue.
01:10:13And then Javon Evans just tossed.
01:10:16A human body just thrown like absolute nothing through our announce table.
01:10:23Which would set up Ova Femi to pounce and devour.
01:10:27Ova, with a fall from grace, Ova Femi's reign continues as champion.
01:10:38What a night it was.
01:10:41What a main event it was.
01:10:44And continuing to dominate.
01:10:48Continuing to rule is our champion.
