00:00This is The Revolution.
00:24Take a look around. Books sold out here in Fort Waterdale.
00:27The phones are out. Everyone trying to snap a pic of the leader of the revolution.
00:34But, but, is it time to put up or shut up?
00:40Oh, it's time. It's time.
00:42This is a massive opportunity for this young man to perhaps cash in on that ultimate treat.
00:49The NXT Championship.
00:51This will be a hell of a task, those dogs.
00:57It's main event time here at No Mercy.
01:14Big at No Mercy.
01:37Word here!
01:38Oh
02:08No doubt the ruler
02:28Has been in control
02:32Has been dominant
02:34And this brand has been under his thumb
02:38Since his arrival
02:39Let's go up to our ring announcer
03:08The following contest
03:15Scheduled for one fall
03:17Is for
03:19The NXT
03:21Championship
03:23Introducing the challenger
03:29From New Orleans, Louisiana
03:32Weighing in at 200 pounds
03:35Ricky
03:37And his opponent
03:46From Lagos, Nigeria
03:49Weighing in at 310 pounds
03:55He is
03:57The NXT
03:58Champion
04:00Obama
04:02Batman
04:04We just looked into the eyes of the champion
04:15Through the monitor
04:16And wherever you're watching around the world
04:19Booker, Ricky Saints
04:21Is going to have to stand toe-to-toe
04:23Face-to-face
04:25With that
04:26This monster
04:27That's what he is, dog
04:29M-O-U-N-S-T
04:30He are this monster, dog
04:32No bread
04:33No water
04:34No water
04:34Just meat
04:35Oh, man
04:37Up here battle
04:39Ricky Saints became the number one contender
04:42On August the 26th
04:44And let's not forget
04:45At heat wave
04:46Saints confronted Femi
04:48And we remember that feeling
04:49On that night
04:50We were sitting there ringside
04:51But also
04:52You can feel
04:53Everyone right now
04:55Here sold out
04:56In Fort Lauderdale
04:57For no mercy
04:58The tension
05:00Is in the air
05:01I mean the tension
05:02Is in the air
05:03But I'm going to tell you right now
05:04Ricky Saints
05:04He must know something
05:06We don't know
05:07And we're going to find out
05:09What it is tonight
05:09I think
05:10What we don't know
05:10Is how much belief
05:11That man has
05:12In himself
05:13That inner belief
05:14I think it's been questioned
05:15By a lot of people
05:16We don't know
05:17What sort of man
05:19Ricky Saints is
05:20We know he's won championships
05:22But Obafemi's looked in the eye
05:23And said
05:23Look, you're not special
05:24He's going to have to show Oba
05:26Just how special he is
05:27And he's fighting to overthrow
05:29The dominance of Oba
05:30And every man is beatable
05:32Right, Book?
05:32On any given day
05:33Every man is beatable
05:34But I'm going to tell you right now
05:35Obafemi has
05:36Managed to figure a way
05:38And find a way
05:39To combat all challenges
05:41Man
05:41The guy is
05:42He is just that good
05:44He's not champion
05:45By accident
05:46Or anything like that
05:47Obafemi
05:48Second longest reign
05:49Of any champion
05:50In WWE
05:51Trailing Tiffany Stratton
05:52Who retained
05:53The WWE Women's Championship
05:55Last night
05:56On Friday night
05:57Smackdown
05:58And Saints going from behind
05:59Taking Oba
06:00Off his feet
06:00For a moment
06:01Not able to get a three
06:02And Saints
06:03Turned right back around
06:04And both men
06:05Same thought process
06:06But Oba
06:07Had a little bit more
06:07Behind his kick
06:08And then he fouls up
06:09With that deep
06:10European uppercut
06:11Oba's coming in
06:12At what
06:12310 pounds
06:14I mean
06:15Of most
06:16I mean
06:17Very little body fat
06:18Right there
06:19Is what
06:20Ricky Saints
06:21Is going to have to deal with
06:22Here in this matchup
06:23I'll ask you this
06:24About Obafemi
06:25We've seen what's happened
06:26Over the last several weeks
06:27Do you think he's overlooking
06:28The challenger
06:30Do you think Oba
06:30Is looking past
06:32Ricky Saints
06:33And I bring that up to you
06:34Because Oba
06:34Has mocked Saints
06:35Remember the appearance
06:36On the Grayson Waller effect
06:38It was overshadowed
06:39By Oba
06:40Wanting to talk to
06:41And talk about
06:42Trick Williams
06:43Didn't even want to talk
06:44About Ricky Saints
06:45Obafemi is just
06:46Finding himself right now
06:47Obafemi has realized
06:48He has
06:48Come
06:49All opponents
06:50He's beat anybody
06:52That they put in front of him
06:53Off the body slam
06:54Ricky able to kick out
06:55At one
06:55But you see
06:56Immediately upon
06:57Kicking out
06:58Ricky
06:58Grabbed his ribs
06:59Grabbed his back
07:00And is crawling
07:01Over to the ropes
07:02Ricky Saints
07:03Is going to be tested
07:04In this match
07:05Like he's
07:05Like he's never been tested
07:07Before
07:07I can almost guarantee you that
07:10I hate to bring this up
07:11But I want to go back
07:11To something I've already mentioned
07:13Do you agree with Oba
07:15That there's nothing special
07:16About Saints
07:17And he confidently did say
07:19That Ricky cannot
07:20Take his title
07:21Here tonight
07:22He said earlier today
07:23On social media
07:23I'm going to tell you
07:24You can't underestimate
07:24Excuse me
07:25Underestimate a man
07:26And thinking that
07:27Not knowing that
07:29Whoa
07:29Not knowing how good he is
07:31Until you get in the ring with him
07:33Ricky turning right around
07:34And now Ricky
07:34Oh yes
07:35His foot on the gas
07:36Able to buckle the legs
07:38Of Oba Femi
07:38And that might have been
07:39A wake up call
07:40To the champion
07:41The challenger right now
07:43Swinging away
07:44But Oba back to his feet
07:45Maybe a smart strategy
07:47For Ricky Saints
07:48Is going to be stick and move
07:49I mean what strategy
07:50Would work against Oba
07:51Nothing has seemed
07:52To work for
07:53For anyone
07:54I can tell you right now
07:54Ricky Saints
07:55Only got one strategy
07:56That's going to work
07:57And that's
07:57Weather this storm
07:58Of Oba Femi
08:00Because trust me
08:00The storm is coming
08:02And Ricky took too much time
08:06Started to showboat
08:07And now might just pay the price
08:09Able to slither down the back
08:11Oba right now
08:12Looking out for that top rope
08:13Too much muscle
08:14Push off
08:15And that drop kick
08:16Connecting Oba though
08:16Staying on his feet
08:17Oba's knees buckle for a moment
08:19Ricky charging right in
08:20With a knee right into the back
08:21Taking Oba right out here
08:23To the floor
08:23And how should Saints
08:25Go about trying to
08:26Defeat someone like Oba
08:28Who's already rising
08:29From the ashes
08:30In front of us
08:31Just like he's doing
08:31Right there
08:32Trying to land
08:33Big shots
08:34Trying to land
08:34Big shots
08:35But got got one
08:36Right there
08:36On the rebound
08:37Man
08:38What a shot
08:39That was
08:40And I feel
08:46And look at
08:46I can't get over
08:48I just looked up
08:49Saw Saints
08:51His eyes roll around
08:52Because
08:53Did you hear that
08:54Called all of it
08:55Right there
08:56What's the saying
08:58Mike Tyson has
08:59I mean
09:00What is
09:01Everyone's got a plan
09:02Until you
09:03Until you get hit
09:03And want a right hand
09:06From Oba Femi
09:07And if this match
09:12Slows down the way it has
09:13It obviously favors the champion
09:15I mean right now
09:16Oba's
09:17You know
09:18He's fighting at his
09:18At his tempo
09:19Right there
09:20He's in his
09:20In a comfort zone
09:21Right there
09:22And Ricky Saints
09:23Is it pushing
09:24Is it pushing issue
09:25Oh yes
09:26Nice backbreaker
09:28Oba
09:29Just playing around
09:30Almost with his food
09:32Right now here
09:33Against Ricky Saints
09:34Saints
09:35I mean
09:36Just again
09:37Too much muscle
09:39I mean
09:39And the thing is
09:40He's doing it with ease
09:41He's making this look so easy
09:43And he's doing it
09:43For fun
09:44At this point
09:45The champion
09:47Third
09:48Time
09:48To the challenge
09:50Finish it
09:51Hook of the leg
09:52And Ricky Saints
09:53Left shoulder
09:53Coming off the mat
09:54This is Oba's
09:5511th title defense
09:58We talked about
09:58JC Jane
09:59With six
10:00This is Oba's
10:0111th championship defense
10:04Of the NXT title
10:05Booker
10:05I want to put that
10:06In perspective
10:06That's the most
10:08Since Braun Breaker's
10:09Second reign
10:10Second reign
10:12With the NXT title
10:13When he defended it
10:1413 times
10:15I don't know
10:16How many times
10:16I can tell you
10:17I mean
10:17Oba Finney
10:18He's a generational talent
10:20This guy could have worked
10:21Across all
10:22You know
10:23Ages of
10:24This business
10:24Because he is truly
10:25One of a kind
10:26Oh man
10:27Big shot right there
10:29By Oba
10:30And what's wise
10:31For Ricky Saints
10:32At this juncture
10:33Of the matchup
10:33Is
10:34He's been in the game
10:35A long time
10:36Every time he's going down
10:37He's trying to quickly
10:39Get up to the ropes
10:40See that
10:40Oba said
10:41Just count him out
10:42Count him out
10:43He's done
10:43He's finished
10:44You've had a lot
10:47Of praise here
10:47For Oba Femi
10:48In your opinion
10:49You're a two-time
10:50WWE Hall of Famer
10:51Ah man
10:53What is this man's ceiling
10:55No I mean
10:57When you really look at it
10:58And break it down
10:58What is the ceiling
10:59For someone like Oba Femi
11:01I don't think there are
11:01Any bounds
11:02For Oba Femi
11:03Really
11:03I think in any company
11:05I mean you put him
11:06On the main roster
11:06He's going to be a champ
11:07You talk 20 years
11:09He's going to be a Hall of Famer
11:11This guy's definitely
11:12He checks off
11:13He checks off every box
11:14Referee at five
11:15Referee at six
11:17Ricky Saints
11:17Trying to get back
11:18Ricky Saints
11:20Just flopping
11:21Falling
11:22Back into the ring
11:23Oba wasting
11:24No energy man
11:25Right now
11:26He just
11:26He just stalking
11:28Ricky Saints
11:29And oh
11:31Ricky
11:33The veins popping out
11:35Of his throat
11:36His face
11:37As he is just being
11:39Punished
11:39And when we talk about
11:41Domination
11:42Take a look at the
11:43Body count of challengers
11:44Is this the strategy
11:45Is this Ricky Saints
11:47Strategy
11:47To take as much
11:49As I possibly
11:49Can take here tonight
11:50Is that it
11:51I don't know
11:52If that's a great strategy
11:53Right now
11:53Because he is just
11:54Getting bent
11:56Broken
11:57Battered
11:58And bruised
11:59Center of the ring
12:00And there's no way
12:00He's got to try to move
12:02With 300 plus pounds
12:03Sitting on his lower back
12:05He's just
12:06He's just giving away
12:07Energy at this point
12:08Devise some kind of plan
12:09Here to
12:10Try to withstand
12:11And try to combat
12:12Obafemi
12:13In some way
12:13Shape or form
12:14Because right now
12:16It doesn't look good
12:16Well that's a
12:18A little bit of separation
12:20Created for Ricky Saints
12:21That's something for Saints
12:23To start trying to build off of
12:25Bad move
12:27Bad move
12:28Just got caught
12:30And again
12:30You see more of these
12:32Devastating
12:32Back breakers
12:33Rip breakers
12:35And like nothing
12:36Another thing is
12:37Like he's grocery shopping
12:38Right now
12:38That crossbody
12:39That Ricky Saints
12:40Just went
12:41Did not
12:42Over 51 inch
12:44Well we got a great view
12:47Of this right here
12:48From the announce desk
12:48Just looking up
12:49Oba slow
12:51Methodical
12:53Just breaking down
12:56And at what point
12:57Book
12:58As we see him
12:59Just bending
13:00The challenger
13:01At what point
13:03Booker
13:03Is too much
13:04Too much
13:05For the challenger
13:06Wait a minute
13:06Ricky Saints
13:07Just landed the shot
13:08We've seen him do it
13:08Two or three times
13:09He doesn't go anywhere
13:10Booker
13:10He landed a big knee
13:11Right now
13:12Obafemi
13:13Reeling just a little bit
13:14And got caught
13:15Got hoisted
13:16And got planted
13:17That's what I mean
13:18Does this man have a weakness
13:20Answer that after the cover
13:21Hook of the leg
13:22And this one's going to continue
13:24Does he have a weakness
13:25Of course Obafemi
13:26Has a weakness
13:26The question is
13:27I don't see the weakness
13:31Book
13:31He just caught a grown ass man
13:33And planted him like nothing
13:35The question is
13:36Can Ricky Saints
13:36Find that weakness
13:37Every man has one
13:39Ricky Saints
13:43Doing his best
13:44And if the ropes
13:45Weren't there
13:45The turnbuckle
13:46Wasn't there
13:46I don't know
13:46If he'd be standing
13:47For this
13:48About the NXT championship
13:49Ricky knows
13:50That cover
13:51And a kick out
13:52And you've said it
13:53Book
13:53Championship
13:54Opportunities
13:55Don't grow on trees
13:56Ricky Saints
13:57Who arrived here
13:58Earned this opportunity
14:00He became the number one contender
14:02He just like Oba
14:03Is a former
14:04North American champion
14:06He's walking the walk
14:07He's trying to
14:08Talk the talk
14:09Tonight as well
14:10Picking up some speed
14:11Charging in with a forearm
14:13He's going to have to have
14:13A little bit more than that
14:14Though Book
14:15To take down the big champion
14:17Obafemi
14:18And that's what he's got
14:19There it is
14:20That he is
14:21I don't know if that's going to
14:23Do anything
14:24As far as trying to finish
14:25Obafemi
14:26Or anything like that
14:27But he's rocking a little bit
14:28Charging back in
14:29Challenger now
14:31Trying to hoist up
14:32The champion
14:34And
14:34That goes back to
14:36What you just said
14:37About wise decisions
14:38But he's able to slide
14:39Right underneath
14:39Whoa
14:40Back up
14:41And down
14:42He was Oba's momentum
14:44Right there
14:44Cover
14:44For the title
14:46Oba's left shoulder
14:47Off the mat
14:48It's not going to be enough
14:49Like that
14:49You're going to need
14:49To hit Oba
14:50With many many big shots
14:52Before that
14:52But two
14:56You know
14:56I'm glad
14:57Ricky's starting
14:58To get back into it
14:58But even there
14:59The amount of energy
15:01He just used
15:03To hoist up
15:04A 300 plus pound man
15:05And now
15:06Charging in
15:06Fall from Grace
15:07He will land on his feet
15:08Saints turning back around
15:10Got caught
15:10Inseguri
15:11To the right side
15:12Rocking Oba
15:13Saints charging in
15:14That spear
15:15That spear
15:16Just got
15:17Swatted
15:18And flattened
15:19Like a mosquito
15:20Go
15:21Wipeout
15:22That's what that was
15:23Oh yes
15:24Big uppercut
15:26Big European
15:27Into the cover
15:28And
15:29Ricky able to kick out
15:31I've never seen
15:32A spear
15:32Countered
15:34With a human
15:34Swat like that
15:35Before
15:36Ricky saw a little bit of fight
15:39Able to sidestep
15:40Oba
15:40Back in
15:41And he connected
15:42With the spear
15:43Is he gonna be a dove
15:45I'm gonna be a dove
15:47That was close
15:49That was close
15:51And right now
15:52I know you're hurt
15:53Ricky is hurt
15:54He's been hurt
15:55The whole match
15:56But that spear
15:57Right there
15:58This near fall
15:59We just witnessed
16:00Is proof
16:01To what you said earlier
16:03Oba is human
16:04Oba is a man
16:05Every man has a weakness
16:07Can you find it
16:08Can you exploit it
16:10The time may be now
16:11For Ricky Saints
16:12Ricky Saints
16:13I think like I said
16:14His best strategy
16:15Try to get
16:15Oba Femi
16:16In those deep waters
16:17Let the cardio effect
16:19Come into play
16:19Maybe that
16:20Maybe that might work
16:22Just when I start believing
16:23What I'm saying
16:24Oba rises up
16:26And takes control
16:28Of the matchup
16:28Once again
16:29You have a winner
16:29The high red district
16:31Oba's normally
16:32Not too comfortable
16:33Being up here
16:34On these top ropes
16:35Man
16:35Well Ricky
16:36Gotta take advantage
16:37And Ricky
16:38Trying with everything
16:41Holding on
16:42Looking for
16:45A power
16:46Bomb
16:48Yes
16:49Got all of it
16:50Falling
16:51He fell to the cover
16:52He fell to the cover
16:53Oh
16:54Oh
16:55Disbelief
16:58I wonder
16:59Was that Ricky's best shot
17:01I mean
17:01Because he landed
17:02That power ball
17:03Flined in the middle
17:04Of that square
17:05And certainly
17:05They did
17:06Covered him
17:07Immediately
17:08I wonder
17:08If that was it
17:09We talked about
17:14A gas take
17:15Earlier
17:15As we were sold out
17:16Here
17:17War Memorial
17:18Fort Lauderdale
17:19Florida
17:19Main event
17:21Of No Mercy
17:21The NXT championship
17:22On the line
17:23Ricky Saints
17:24The challenger
17:24Oba Femi
17:25The champion
17:25That's scary
17:26We're talking about
17:26Everything that's happened
17:27Who was the first one
17:28To his feet
17:28That's scary right there
17:29Who was the first one
17:30To get up
17:30Oba Femi
17:31Got up first
17:32After a massive
17:32Powerball
17:33Delivered
17:34You gotta love it
17:36Body shot by the champion
17:42Challenger answering back
17:45I think Ricky's
17:49Ricky Saints' body
17:52Just gave out
17:54From that last body shot
17:55I mean
17:55You watch boxing
17:56You break it down
17:57A body shot can crumble
17:58A man
17:58It's called playing possum
17:59It's called playing possum
18:01No
18:01That's what it wants
18:02Ricky back up
18:03Almost baited in
18:04Oba Femi
18:04I guess
18:05To a point
18:05They just got rocked
18:07Good night
18:08Turn inside out
18:12Welcome to the party pal
18:14And now rolling through
18:15Those Ricky
18:15Oh wait a minute
18:16Ricky holding that leg
18:18Checking out another
18:19Near fall championship
18:20Again is on the line
18:21Dugging the clothesline
18:22Ricky coming right back in
18:23It just
18:24Got tossed
18:26Oh man
18:28The strength
18:29All over Femi
18:30And Book
18:31You know what's next
18:33A fall
18:34From
18:35Braves
18:36Counter
18:36Cover
18:37Kick out
18:39Ricky Saints pulling on all the stops
18:42At this point
18:42Oh
18:43Wow
18:43Big man got air
18:45Big man got air right there
18:46He's talking about pulling on the stops
18:486'5
18:506'6
18:50300 plus
18:51And everyone
18:59Right here around us
19:02Close to us
19:03On their feet
19:05To the right
19:05Up in the rafters
19:08Behind us
19:09Going nuts
19:10This the main event tonight
19:16Of no mercy
19:19And Oba
19:21Hey
19:22Back
19:23Back it up
19:24Move
19:25Back it up
19:26Hell you ain't got to tell me twice
19:28And Oba
19:35Breaking the count
19:36Smart
19:38Because he wants to beat the hell
19:40Out of Ricky Saints
19:44It's about dominance right here Vic
19:50It certainly is
19:51It's about showing dominance
19:52And the referee
19:53Showing discretion right now
19:55He knows how much this match means
19:57He knows what this is for
19:58It's for the NXT Championship
20:00Oba
20:01Think about it
20:02He thought about it
20:05He thought about it Vic
20:07Here we go
20:08Here we go baby
20:09He's gonna destroy Ricky Saints
20:10Saints counter
20:11DDT
20:12There is still fight
20:14There is still left
20:15In the challenger book
20:16You gotta give him that much
20:19Right
20:19No this kid is definitely
20:20Fighting his heart out here tonight
20:21Ricky Saints is everything
20:23He said he is
20:24And that's a fighter
20:25With a lot of heart man
20:27And I'm gonna go into
20:27What you said Booker
20:28Is it
20:29Heart
20:30Is it fight
20:31Or is it desperation
20:33Because that's the second time
20:34The second time
20:35That tornado DDT
20:36This time
20:37It was right here
20:38In front of us
20:39I think Ricky Saints
20:40He's desperate right now
20:41He's definitely in panic
20:42And that might help him
20:44That might help him man
20:45You gotta be desperate right now
20:47So much taken out of Ricky Saints
20:49So much fight still left
20:50Oh my god
20:52And in the fight in Ricky Saints
20:54Might have just been smacked
20:56Wow
20:56From Fort Lauderdale
20:58Back to New Orleans
20:59Heard that all over this arena man
21:02I talked about a body count earlier
21:06You can add another one
21:08Welcome to the party
21:10From Grace
21:12One
21:15Two
21:15Oh no
21:17Wow
21:18Oba beside himself
21:20I'm beside myself
21:21Unbelievable
21:24The referee right now
21:27Trying to tell Oba
21:29You didn't put the man away
21:31This is showing you
21:32For everyone that has questioned
21:33Ricky Saints
21:34About his heart
21:35Where his head's at
21:36He's bringing it
21:37Here tonight
21:38Second fall from Grace
21:39Another DDT
21:40How many is that?
21:42Two
21:43Three
21:43Everything he possibly can
21:45To try to slow him
21:46But down
21:46Oh
21:47Oh
21:48One on the table
21:51One on the floor
21:52One in the ring
21:53And Saints
21:54Saints
21:55Did it
21:56Here is your winner
22:01And the new
22:04NXT champion
22:08Ricky
22:10Saints
22:11For all those hardships
22:14For what your mother went through
22:16That man
22:18Just overcame the ruler
22:20The destroyer
22:21And you know what?
22:22It is yours
22:23You did it
22:24And
22:25New
22:26Look at this place
22:43Listen to this place
22:45Sold out
22:46What
22:47A moment
22:49Right out here
23:07Legitimately
23:09On our desk
23:10That was the first
23:12DDT
23:13That DDT
23:14Rocked Oba
23:15The second one
23:16Did the same
23:17But as you said
23:18Oba Femi
23:19Is a monster
23:21He able to rise up
23:23Swat down
23:24Another grown man
23:25And this is where
23:26Oba Femi
23:27Does what he always does
23:29Cockers
23:30Overpowers
23:31Destroys
23:32And rules
23:33And just when he looked
23:35To add
23:35To his defenses
23:37Ricky Saints
23:39Showed you the heart
23:40Showed you he's gonna be
23:42What he says he is
23:44That man
23:46To your
23:47Verbiage I should say
23:49And then not only the third
23:51But the fourth
23:53DDT
23:54And for Ricky Saints
23:56He did it
23:57Ricky Saints
23:58Defeated
