00:00One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four,
00:06five, six, seven, eight, nine.
00:17The following contest scheduled for a world of five,
00:19now is for the NXT North American Championship.
00:28Introducing first, from Boston, Colorado, weighing in at 260 pounds,
00:33Tabion High!
00:37Look, what do you hope Tabion has learned over the last several months
00:41heading into this championship match?
00:43I mean, I hope he's learned that he's gonna have to, you know,
00:46take his time with a veteran like Ethan Page because he's running there
00:52thinking that your expertise from what you did in the past,
00:56trust me, it might not work with this guy.
00:59And his opponent, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 240 pounds.
01:15And his opponent, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 240 pounds.
01:25He is the NXT North American Champion,
01:31All Ego, Ethan Page!
01:38Well, one thing we do know is both these men represent their country proudly.
01:43Page, though, has self-anointed himself, the greatest North American alive.
01:48I mean, come on.
01:49I mean, come on.
01:50Come on.
01:51That's not ridiculous to you.
01:52Ethan Page is representing all of North America.
01:57He's a hell of a champion.
01:59I mean, he presses well.
02:01He's always, damn, damn, damn.
02:04Come on, Tabion High, have a little respect here.
02:07Booker.
02:08Have a little respect.
02:09Wait on the referee to read the bail.
02:11Can we do that?
02:12Booker, you're not even from Canada.
02:14You actually live closer to Mexico than you do Canada.
02:17What have they got to do with anything?
02:18I'm just asking you.
02:19What have they got to do with this man, Ethan Page, representing all of North America?
02:23You're proud of him.
02:25I mean.
02:26And his antics.
02:27And his ego.
02:28He's a hell of a champion.
02:29It's all about championship.
02:31I mean, the title, the title of champion, that's Ethan Page.
02:35Well, a big shout out to a former world champion and another former North American champion,
02:40Damian Priest, he helped set this match up at homecoming a few weeks back as Page in control.
02:47Heitz, by the way, he owns two straight victories over Ethan Page.
02:50Come on, man, stop playing.
02:51Stop playing with me, Vic.
02:52Stop playing.
02:53What are you talking about?
02:54All right, let's just say he has one tainted victory over Ethan Page that really didn't mean nothing.
03:00He won the flag match and then he made a tap out.
03:02Like I say, like I say, like I say, come on, like I say.
03:05Come on, stop playing.
03:06Stop playing.
03:07He owns two victories.
03:08Stop playing.
03:09All right?
03:10He get paid to do this.
03:11Look, can Tavion then get it done when it counts the most?
03:13How about you answer me that?
03:14No, under the bright lights.
03:15I mean, he probably, he definitely probably could.
03:17But I'm gonna tell you right now, Ethan Page is a precision tactician.
03:21This guy knows everything.
03:23See what I'm saying?
03:25Just got caught.
03:27Ethan Page done playing around.
03:28See what I'm saying?
03:29The kid let his mouth overload his behind right there and got caught with a big shot.
03:34Going right to the body, though, in its height, answering back with his own shots,
03:37because he's taking things over.
03:38But he can answer one right back between the eyes.
03:40Emily, I wanna ask you this about Tavion.
03:42Do you agree Height came back different from his trip last summer to Japan?
03:46I think so.
03:47I mean, Tavion over there to Japan, I'm gonna tell you, over there, it's a lot different.
03:51There's a lot of dogs over there.
03:53So Tavion came back wanting more here in NXT, wanted to move up the ladder a lot quicker.
03:59I like that, I like the attitude.
04:01Able to get some tutelage.
04:02Yes.
04:03Able to get some tutelage while over in Japan from a WWE Hall of Famer,
04:07the great Muda, nice drop kick and right back to work.
04:11Go to the midsection goes Tavion.
04:13But look, Tavion knows he can't win this match on the outside.
04:16And that might have just been a huge mistake by Tavion.
04:21I wouldn't call it a rookie mistake or anything like that.
04:24But Tavion definitely got out of position and Ethan Page took advantage of it.
04:31I like that.
04:32I mean, I'll ask you.
04:33I've never landed on a steel braid or anything like our entry trip.
04:37I mean, that had to have knocked the win out of Tavion Heights.
04:40Definitely caught him on the tailbone, maybe not knocked the win out of him,
04:44but definitely could have that sciatic nerve buzzing right there.
04:49Yes.
04:50Ethan Page, a veteran of the Squirt Circle, a man who has worn the NXT Championship,
04:55the current North American Champion, his 122nd day as champion.
05:00Hell of a champ.
05:01Hell of a champ.
05:02Hell of a champ.
05:03His sixth defense of the North American Championship, if I wanna add that to it.
05:07And he knows what to do with a bullseye on someone's body as he's doing it right now.
05:11He's punishing his opponent.
05:12You know what they say about defending that championship?
05:15Until you defend it one time, you're really not champion.
05:18That says a lot about Ethan Page.
05:20He's defeated it.
05:21How many times?
05:22How many?
05:23How many times, Vince?
05:24Six, damn it.
05:25Say it.
05:26I already did.
05:27Six.
05:28I'm glad you were listening.
05:29But you know what Ethan Page also knows?
05:30What's that?
05:31He knows the feeling of that ankle lock, because his ass was tapping this past Tuesday
05:34to Tavion Heights.
05:35And we'll see if it happens once again.
05:38But right now, Ethan Page planning in the center of the ring, into the cover.
05:42Deep hook of the leg.
05:43And Heights able to get that left shoulder out.
05:45Ethan Page on top of his game right now, showing down Tavion Heights that you got to
05:50bring a whole lot more than just a lot of talk.
05:52You know what I mean?
05:53You gotta bring a whole lot more than just a background being an Olympian and all that.
05:57This is professional wrestling.
05:59You know, we think of No Mercy, I think, back to last year.
06:02And what a difference, really, a year makes for Ethan Page.
06:06Also, NXT and TNA.
06:08It was last year, Ethan Page was defending the NXT title against someone trying to take
06:12it to TNA.
06:13Tuesday was the invasion.
06:15October 7th, it will officially be invasion.
06:19What a difference 12 months has made for both brands and, and I must admit, Ethan Page himself.
06:25Yeah, what a difference today, mate.
06:27I mean, Ethan Page, I mean, he stepped into NXT and went straight to the top immediately.
06:32And now, like I say, one of the greatest, if not the greatest, North American champion
06:36of all times.
06:37You gotta get this guy, I mean, he did it in warp speed.
06:40Warp speed.
06:41Well, someone who won a championship faster than Ethan Page is Ricky Saint.
06:44Saints will be in our main event tonight, trying to become the NXT champion in the back.
06:48Giving out-
06:49And taking advantage was Ethan Page.
06:52Big suplex.
06:53Covering another count, and another kick out, and I go back to that backdrop on the steel
06:58great.
06:59That changed this matchup.
07:00It changed the complexion of it for Tavion Heights.
07:02No, but you see how quick Ethan Page exploited that little mistake there by Tavion Heights.
07:08That's what Tavion, he doesn't know how to deal with something like that.
07:12Like I say, a guy like Ethan Page, he's a veteran.
07:15He's a veteran of this sport.
07:16He knows every trick of the trade.
07:18He's got every tool in the tool bag.
07:20He's got it all bad.
07:21It's hard to argue with your point there, Booker.
07:23And also, it brings us to something else you've said about Tavion Heights being on his own,
07:27leaving the NQCC, standing up to someone like Ethan Page, because there's nobody out here to coach him up.
07:33There is no Charlie Dempsey.
07:35And you're right, Tavion Heights has not been in this sort of predicament.
07:38Premium live event, bright lights, championship on the line, and having to deal with an injury
07:43like something to the lower back that happened mid-match that he's got to alter his game plan.
07:48And trust me, that nervous energy, it just make everything burn in the middle of that ring.
07:53I mean, you're breathing, everything is a little bit tighter.
07:56So right now, Tavion Heights, he's not just feeling the pain and the punishment for Ethan Page.
08:00His body is trying to give out on him.
08:04Trying to counter for a moment.
08:06Look at Page, climbing the ladder, so to speak, and really rocking.
08:11Tavion Heights, but right up to the left.
08:14Baby, I can feel it.
08:15I can feel it in my bones.
08:17I can feel, yes, yes, man.
08:21That backbreaker over the steel, over the turnbuckle.
08:25And a lot of concern right now.
08:30You just felt the air leave this sold out crowd.
08:34Good job, man.
08:39Ethan Page, he's in the zone, man.
08:42He's in the zone.
08:43I was trying to listen to Gary Wilson, our official, try to talk to Tavion Heights.
08:47Heights right now, right out here in front of us.
08:49I tell you right now, the referee gave Tavion a break.
08:52He gave Tavion a break right there, stepping out the ring to check on him.
08:56I'm trying to let, Tavion's right here in front of us.
08:58He's breathing very heavy right now in this moment.
09:00Just quit.
09:01Just quit, son.
09:02Just quit.
09:03He's not gonna quit.
09:04And Ethan Page.
09:05Are you enjoying this all, brother?
09:07I'm loving it.
09:08I'm loving it.
09:09You're doing a hell of a job, champ.
09:10You're doing a hell of a job, champ.
09:11Let's go, champ.
09:12Let's go.
09:13Let's go, champ.
09:14Let's go.
09:15Let's go, champ.
09:16You're gonna call it down the middle?
09:19What are you gonna do here, bud?
09:21I'm just sitting.
09:22Yeah, Ethan Page gonna turn around, cuz you say, let's go.
09:26Let's go, Tavion Heights.
09:27Heights now trying to block out all that pain.
09:29This may be his second, his third win in the matchup.
09:32But will it be enough to overcome all ego?
09:35Will it be enough to overcome whatever's going on in that lower back right now?
09:39Firing through his body, big offense, and Tavion Heights is feeling it.
09:45Right there, he's burning a lot of energy.
09:46You better keep your foot on the gas, son, if you want a victory here tonight.
09:51This is someone, Tavion Heights, who just rolled right through, blocking out the pain,
09:55overpowering Page.
09:57Lifted Page up, can't stand the disrespect that Page has shown,
10:01especially leading into that flag match a few weeks ago.
10:04Tavion represented America.
10:06And now with that acolyte trying to represent North America as its champion.
10:12USA, USA, USA, USA.
10:16Man.
10:17Page got to that bottom rope.
10:19Wow. And I mentioned Tavion represented America meddling in the Pan American Games.
10:23Come on, referee, referee.
10:24In the Pan American Championship.
10:26Inside cradle, shoulders down, and a kick out.
10:29What are you yelling at the official for?
10:30I mean, that'd be good.
10:31He should have broke the count.
10:32From behind, shoulders down one more time, and an ear fall.
10:35Now you're worried about the rules, huh, Book?
10:37Just call it like it is, man.
10:39And looking for that twisted grin, countered, backslide.
10:42Whoa, whoa.
10:43Another near fall, back up, and a big kick just connecting.
10:47And Ethan Page looking for maybe that ego's edge, dropping Tavion.
10:57And another kick up, but look at Ethan.
11:00Page holding on.
11:01And nice, deep cinched in.
11:03Beautiful combination by Ethan Page on the Olympia, right there turned even tight.
11:10And remember that lower back, that's gotta be on fire.
11:13It went down across the top turnbuckle on a backbreaker.
11:16It went against the hard steel of the ramp.
11:19And getting to the ropes.
11:21Honorable champion, they're releasing the hole.
11:23Honorable champion, his body collapsed, because I think his ankle just gave out.
11:27And if his ankle didn't give out, I'm sure he would have held it until at the last possible moment.
11:31Why would you say that?
11:32Why would you say that?
11:33Because we've seen him do it.
11:34It's called a trend.
11:35Somehow both men back to the feet.
11:37We questioned Tavion Heights' back.
11:40Now I start to look at maybe Ethan Page's ankle after that ankle lock.
11:46Because he was in that ankle lock for quite a few moments there, Book, as you pointed out.
11:51He's resilient.
11:52He's resilient.
11:53That's why he was able to withstand all of that pain.
11:56He's resilient.
11:57Obviously Booker bought Chapstick from Canada before he made his way to Fort Waterdale.
12:01Trying to get a super flex though is Page.
12:03Tavion trying to block it out.
12:05Trying to create separation, it's all about the North American Championship.
12:10And that's a sleeper hold.
12:11All the way on the top rope, Booker.
12:12That's a sleeper hold.
12:13I don't know how wise that is to put a sleeper on the top rope.
12:17That's not too wise.
12:18Page countering.
12:19My word.
12:21Did I tell you?
12:22Did I tell you?
12:24Right up, turning him right around.
12:27Bam.
12:28A twisted grin as Page.
12:33Retains.
12:36Kid ain't ready yet.
12:37He's got ready.
12:38Here's the winner.
12:39And still, the NXT North American Champion, All Ego Ethan Page.
12:53Can I say this?
12:54Kid's got a hell of a look.
12:56You know, one day he's gonna go straight to the moon.
12:58For tonight.
12:59For tonight.
13:00He had to go out there and slip on a banana peel on Ethan Page to finish.
13:05Let's go back.
13:06I mean, take a look at this massive power slam.
13:09And then Ethan Page, presence of mind, a little bit of an alligator roll.
13:13Yeah!
13:14He turned it.
13:15He twisted it.
13:16Right into that twisted grin to take the smile off the face of Tabian Heights.
13:23Hell of a champ.
13:24Hell of a champ.
13:25Hell of a champ.
13:29Stand up.
13:30I'm not standing up.
13:32But still, North American Champion...
13:34Oh, Ego Ethan Page.
13:38Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
13:40Ethan, Ethan, Ethan.
13:43Ethan, you think you should be Latin American Champion?
13:49You want me so bad?
13:51Well, I have eyes on your North American title.
13:58And I'll see you real, real soon.
14:09Well, just when Ethan turns the page, a new challenger emerges.
14:14This time, the AAA Latin American Champion.
