00:00It's about life, it's about love, making a different degree.
00:05I'ma be fighting, I'ma be grinding, it's about legacy.
00:08It's about blood, it's about sweat, it'll never get to me.
00:12And in my time, in my money, it's about legacy.
00:15My legacy, my legacy.
00:19In my time, in my money, it's about legacy.
00:22My legacy, my legacy.
00:25I'ma be fighting, I'ma be grinding.
00:27Time for tonight's NXT Focus, presented by Progressive.
00:35Dark State vs. The Hardy.
00:40Next Tuesday, winner take off.
00:45Everyone in NXT will say it's an honor to have a match for the Hardy Boys.
00:49They're the ones who reinvented tag team wrestling.
00:52Yeah, not us.
00:53What we started doesn't stop for anyone.
00:56Hey, the whole reason we came together was for moments like this, man.
01:00We forced their hands.
01:03Ain't never been no happy to be here or I'm a bass in the moment.
01:07Hey, we're here to be the moment.
01:12It don't matter if it's your first day on the job or you're the best tag team on planet Earth.
01:17We've been told y'all we're here to whoever, and these whole heads ain't no different.
01:22And you ain't even gotta guess who it's gonna be.
01:24Me and D took these NXT tag team titles.
01:26We do the same thing to those TNA tag titles.
01:29And you see, we make it easy for y'all.
01:31Hey, look, I know y'all been a tag champ eight million times, so it'll be just as easy for us to take it up all.
01:37Well, history will be made next week, guaranteed, because it's winner take all.
02:06Can Dark States, Deion, and Osiris solidify themselves, or will Matt and Jeff the Hardys continue to add to their legacy?
02:14Which team leaves with all the tag team gold at Showdown?
02:20Mustafa Ali returned to NXT tonight in front of the North American champion Ethan Page.
02:24Can Ali capture the title he never got to compete for, or will All Eagle once again prove he is the greatest North American alive?
02:32Find out at Showdown.
02:34And the wrestling world never thought this day would come.
02:39TNA versus NXT in Survivor Series style matches.
02:44We know who will represent us, but who will represent them?
02:48We'll find out tonight in our NXT TNA Summit.
02:51And then next week, it will be TNA versus NXT at Showdown.
03:02It's all right, Val, that was on me.
03:04I shouldn't have put you in a match with her.
03:06You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself, champ.
03:08What is it with you and us?
03:10You weren't cleared on Saturday, and you're still not cleared.
03:12I would do anything you guys need.
03:14How many times have we heard that one?
03:15That's really funny.
03:16Look, I know I wasn't cleared, but that didn't stop me from going against the Doc's orders on Saturday.
03:20You weren't in the speed match?
03:22Yeah, what do you mean?
03:25That was you?
03:26Yeah.
03:27Oh, and as for Jasmine, well, that one was free.
03:30She never really belonged in Fatal Influence.
03:32What the hell was that?
03:41Money, dawg.
03:42The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one more.
04:04Introducing first, from Greensboro, North Carolina, weighing in at 195 pounds, Siobhan!
04:12Yeah, back!
04:15Buckle up, boys.
04:16This is going to be high impact and high octane.
04:21What a tag team clash we got live next.
04:33Back live on NXT.
04:42And his tag team partner, from Bradford, he's weighing in at 198 pounds.
04:59He is the TNA X Division champion, Leon Slater!
05:08This man has taken TNA Wrestling by storm, the youngest champion in TNA history.
05:16This is a dream team, the young OG teaming, with the youngest in charge.
05:27Yeah, man.
05:28I mean, I give this kid, Leon Slater, big ups, man.
05:33You know what that X mean, right?
05:35There is the weight class.
05:38He captains this championship from Moose.
05:40That tells me, this dude is a bad, bad, bad man.
05:45And we're about to see it up close and personal.
05:49No limits in the X Division.
05:52And we're also looking at the two men teaming tonight that we'll meet at
05:55Bound for Glory for the X Division Championship.
05:59And there is pain, bringing it to light.
06:06And there are bullets, representing the Kully.
06:14Nico Vance and Sean Spears.
06:34These were trying to manipulate the minds of their opponents earlier, but to no avail.
06:41I mean, this collective here, the Kully have a multitude of experience here.
06:49I wonder if the experience factor is gonna come into play here in this matchup.
06:55That's a great point, Book.
06:56And look, since the beginning of the night, there has been this odd tension in the air.
07:01The NXT TNA Summit still to come here tonight as we get ready for
07:06this tag team matchup.
07:08And Book, is it hard to really compare?
07:12And I hate to do so, but Book, could you imagine WCW versus WWE?
07:16Not in 2001, but I'm talking about in 1997, in 1998.
07:22That is what we're going to get next week.
07:24TNA versus NXT.
07:26We're talking about the best of the best competing.
07:30I love that, man.
07:31Right now, TNA got a plethora of talent, and this is one of them right here.
07:36We are playing X Division Champions.
07:38It's gonna be good, as well as very, very interesting, man.
07:42Well, it's time to look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive.
07:48You know, big kick.
07:50Wait a minute.
07:51A little tip of the cap to you, boy.
07:52I've seen that before.
07:53Slater who turned 21 over the weekend.
07:56I mean, you just see his potential as having no violence.
07:59My God, this kid has a plethora of talent.
08:02And now he's falling under that category of special.
08:06Javon Evans tagging in.
08:08Look at Javon Evans, who suffered a big defeat.
08:10It took him a week or so to get back on his feet.
08:12Didn't mean to rhyme in that occasion.
08:14But look, Obafemi, the NXT champion.
08:16Has Javon going into the, trying to get into the cover.
08:18And Ico doing a nice job of getting back to his knees, trying to break,
08:21not being able to be covered, to get to a vertical base.
08:24Oba is not here tonight.
08:25Javon has been trying to get on that championship, Brian,
08:28to make himself a champion.
08:30Obafemi, who again, not here this evening.
08:32He's someone who right now is just trying to recharge himself.
08:35Would you agree with that?
08:36Is that why he's not here, in your opinion?
08:38Okay, Oba has done a hell of a job.
08:40I mean, he has nothing to hold his hand down about losing to Ricky Saints.
08:44Ricky Saints just had his number that night.
08:46Ain't nothing we call any given Sunday.
08:49That's just part of the game.
08:51Is he upset with Tatum Paxley, and Tatum's still holding on to that present,
08:57that gift that Lyra Valkyria gave her earlier tonight.
09:01And this match is continuing to roll out.
09:03That's a hell of a gift.
09:04That's a mistake.
09:05That's a mistake.
09:06That's a mistake right there.
09:07That's a spinebuster from Sean Spears.
09:09Hey, Spears right on top, but looking over at Izzy and looking over at Tatum.
09:13Let's go, let me do it.
09:14Yeah, let's go.
09:16This was a present, it was a gift.
09:22Time somebody to take some control on that squad, come on.
09:27Tag was made, Leon Slater is the legal superstar.
09:30A little ending around here, and whoa, things are getting spun around big.
09:34German suplex wiping out Spears and Slater.
09:37And Germans in stereo, wiping out the color.
09:42And this duo keep it rolling here on NXT.
09:45One, two, three, two.
09:59Is this match rolling on?
10:02Dream Team, I'll say it again, because I don't think anyone in their
10:05wildest imagination could have ever thought that we'd be seeing Javon Evans
10:10teaming with Leon Slater.
10:13And Sean Spears done with all the hype, done having fun.
10:16He's trying to turn things around in this matchup.
10:18And I wanna bring this to you here.
10:21Was the culling right earlier?
10:23Should Evans have been even talking to Slater?
10:25Should he have been around somebody who's from TNA,
10:28seeing that next week at Showdown, it's NXT versus TNA?
10:33My God.
10:34You know what?
10:35I get what Sean Spears is talking about.
10:37I get it 100%, but this is a hell of an opportunity for Javon Evans.
10:42My God.
10:44My God.
10:45My God.
10:46I gotta stop it.
10:47This kid is out.
10:48Dallas Irving quickly, coming to the outside.
10:50Sean Spears all smiles.
10:52And I don't know if Leon Slater is, the referee checked on him.
10:59His tag team partner checking on him too right now.
11:01It's not often Booker T is speechless.
11:07And that's not a knock book.
11:09That was nasty.
11:10That was gnarly.
11:11I tell you, I'm looking in this kid's eyes and I'm gonna tell you,
11:14he has been separated from his senses.
11:17Right now, Sean Spears and the culling has a huge opening and they better take it and take it quick.
11:23And Nico Vance, who is the legal superstar for the culling, did not like the bark back that Evans had earlier.
11:31Into the cover.
11:32And a kick out.
11:33And I wanna talk about the placement of that forearm, so to speak.
11:37And Nico Vance, that was right over the throat of Leon Slater.
11:42They know they have Slater wounded right now.
11:45No, no, Leon Slater right now is in, he's in dire straits, man.
11:49He's in a whole lot of trouble and right now being isolated in the corner of the culling.
11:54What a concern on the face of Kevin Evans.
12:00Beautiful.
12:01I mean, I've almost been taken out of this matchup too after what we just saw.
12:04I mean, just a few feet to us at our right.
12:07You just heard the smack of the face of Leon Slater off that solid, cold steel.
12:15I'm gonna tell you right now, I mean, the culling is definitely softening up Leon Slater right now
12:20for someone like Javon Evans to perhaps cash in on that X Division Championship.
12:26Cheap shot, wiping out Evans.
12:29Slater wiped out Spears, but there's no one for Leon Slater to tag.
12:34There was someone for Sean Spears to tag, and that's Nico Vance,
12:38who just ripped Leon Slater right back into the wrong part of town.
12:42And this is what you would say is textbook tag team wrestling.
12:47Textbooked right there by the culling.
12:49I mean, Slater went for the tag there, but nobody honed the light.
12:53And right now, right now, the culling is in total control.
12:58Slater getting that left shoulder off the mat, right back into a second cover.
13:05Another count, all that body weight on the shoulders of Leon Slater,
13:08able to power his way free of that last pinning predicament from Nico Vance,
13:13who now I think is locked in a full Nelson book, and I didn't get a look at it.
13:17I don't know if you have it from your vantage point.
13:19Those hands are clinched.
13:22Slater is in trouble.
13:25Slater trying to battle back, trying to break free, desperately, desperately,
13:30needs to make a tag here in this match.
13:34And Nico Vance has just been wearing and breaking down the body of the TNA X Division champion,
13:43Leon Slater, who was in the main event of Victory Road this past Friday.
13:48Isn't 100%, and you can see it right now on the face of Slater, he knows he's in trouble.
13:53Because during the commercial break, it was nasty, it was ugly.
13:57Listen to this.
13:58That was a man's face, bouncing off the steel.
14:02Well, Nico Vance is the guy I don't think we talk enough about here in NXT.
14:06He's talking about the X Division.
14:08Nico Vance is the X Factor here at NXT.
14:11Yes, man.
14:13Big slam by Spears.
14:14Spears, who says the most dangerous man is an honest man.
14:17That's his quote, not mine.
14:18And that's why he says the truth will ultimately prevail.
14:21You know why?
14:22Trying to stop Leon Slater.
14:23You know why?
14:24Because you can trust the snake, man.
14:26You can trust the snake to bite you.
14:28That's John Spears.
14:30And there was a tag made to Vance.
14:32Leon Slater, though, and Seguri didn't connect.
14:35Oh, right back.
14:37The heel of the foot.
14:39Catching Vance's cheekbone, opening the door for the tag.
14:42Let's get bouncy.
14:43And there's Leon O.G.
14:46And even you got to admit, look, the weight is off the shoulders of Evans,
14:49following that victory at no mercy.
14:51And part of him has to be happy that Bourne is on team.
14:54Oh, baby.
14:55Holy crap.
14:56Oh, yeah.
14:57Team NXT instead of Josh Briggs.
14:59Big kick to the face.
15:01Evans from the top spring.
15:04Bourne clothesline.
15:05Spears right back in.
15:06Watch your back, son.
15:07Uh-oh.
15:08Oh.
15:09Yeah.
15:10Wow.
15:11Pinpoint.
15:12Perfect position.
15:14Oh, yes, man.
15:15To the top.
15:17Looking to fly.
15:19Bourne.
15:20Splash.
15:21I love it.
15:22Go for him, son.
15:23One, two, three.
15:24Whoa.
15:25Too much power.
15:29You gotta give credit to Nico Vance.
15:33I mean, first, this was almost into our lap.
15:36Frog Splash followed, and now just getting caught.
15:39Nico Vance overpowering.
15:41Evans getting him down.
15:42Shoulders.
15:43Another near fall.
15:44Vance able to break free once again.
15:45Back up, big forearm.
15:47Catching Vance right under the jaw.
15:50Talking about confidence.
15:52Right now this confidence is Sky Harbor got caught right there with a big shot.
15:57Certainly did.
15:58And a nasty version of an Alabama slam into the cover for Nico and a near fall.
16:04That was right on the back of the neck right there of the young OG and he's feeling it.
16:08NXT Universe starting to feel it here tonight.
16:14Starting to rise up, trying to rally.
16:17Slater trying to rally.
16:20Javon Evans, who was able to get away and make the tag.
16:25Evans, Slater is legal and I don't think Spears, and I don't know if Nico Vance even realized it.
16:32Whoa, get out of the way.
16:33Wait a minute.
16:34Wait a minute.
16:35You've got to be kidding me.
16:36Did you see that?
16:37You've got to be kidding me.
16:38Did you see that?
16:39Did you see that?
16:40How damn impressive is Leon freaking Slater?
16:45Good God, man.
16:46Cover that man.
16:47One, two, three.
16:49And Nico Vance.
16:52That's tag team work right there.
16:54You got to give credit where credit is due to the Devils that are here tonight and they're coming.
16:58But you saw speed, you saw athleticism, you saw power, and you saw the wit and smarts of Nico Vance.
17:04You have been watching 21-year-old kid Slater right now, trying to bring this team a win.
17:10Yes.
17:12NXT Universe chanting this is awesome because it certainly is.
17:15Slater got caught with a knee under the jaw.
17:17All four men are down.
17:19Spirit factor coming into play right now, Vic, just like I said earlier.
17:23Evans caught Slater, ducking, diving, flying, hitting the cutter himself.
17:35That boy getting bounced, see, double down.
17:38Double up, double up.
17:39Yes, man.
17:40Go, go.
17:41Vance not gonna like what he sees.
17:44Evans wiping out the field.
17:48You ever see this before?
17:50Action personified here tonight, y'all.
17:54Get a good look at Leon Slater.
17:57Swanton, 450.
17:59One, two, three.
18:02Wow.
18:04Here are the winners, the team up to Vaughn Evans and Leon Slater.
18:13I'll tell you what, mark it down, October 12, bound for glory.
18:19These two are gonna take it to new heights when they battle for the X Division title.
18:26That was unbelievable.
18:28Wow.
18:2921 years old.
18:33If you add them their age, they're still 20 years younger than you.
18:39All right.
18:40Oh.
18:41Keep it up.
18:42More, more, more, more, more, more.
18:44He's right here.
18:45Keep something up.
18:46He got all this stuff.
18:47You can take a few of those good moments and get rid of them.
18:50Come on.
18:51Mike Santana said they were coming and they are here.
18:55There's Santana Morello, the TNA Director of Authority.
19:02There's TNA.
19:06There's NXT.
19:07Chaos breaking out of the parking lot.
19:09We need some order.
19:26Kripper, right now, you know what's going on.
19:28Wherever you are watching, combustible elements are ready to explode.
19:33That's TNA, that's NXT.
19:37Let's set the stage here because that's what's going on on the outside.
19:40Looking back up at the ring here inside the Performance Center,
19:43Leon Slater's now starting to get chippy with Javon Evans.
19:47Those two just teamed together, but that's what it means to be part of Team NXT.
19:53That's what it means to be part of TNA.
19:55And that's the man that is leading the charge for our squad,
19:59the NXT Champion, Ricky Sanks.
20:01Playing it simple, playing it simple, Vic.
20:03It's about to be a showdown, and it's about to go down right here tonight, yes, man.
20:10You want to come with Tommy, man?
20:14I want to come with Tommy.
20:15Yeah.
20:18I got to pull in there.
20:19TNA wrestlers are starting to
20:31file in and fill up the Performance Center.
20:34Take a look over at our general manager, Ava.
20:40She's coming in marching with NXT superstars in the ring.
20:44Leon Slater and Javon Evans just squared up with one another.
20:47I'll tell you what, we're gonna need more security than what we got out here right now.
20:53All hell is about to break loose.
20:55How do you get ordered?
21:08You're a two-time Hall of Famer.
21:09How do you get ordered right now?
21:11Let him fight, let him fight, let him fight.
21:14We saw this breakout right here inside the Performance Center once.
21:18If this is happening now, what the hell is gonna happen next week at Showdown?
21:25What's going on over there?
21:33Look, ain't no love, love.
21:34Just got into it with Moose.
21:35Ain't no love, love.
21:36Just got into it with Moose.
21:37Ain't no love, love.
21:38Moose is pissed.
21:43I don't know if Josh Briggs didn't pop Moose in the mouth.
21:48And right over here, Briggs is going at Mance Warner again.
21:56And not only him, he has for Troy.
21:59You better get more order out here right now, damn it.
22:03From the parking lot to inside the Performance Center, Booker,
22:20there's gotta be some sort of control as we get ready for what's supposed to be
22:24the NXT and TNA Summit between our general manager and
22:29the TNA Director of Authority, Santina Morella.
22:32There has been no damn order.
22:34I can tell you now, we don't have enough security, we don't have enough security.
22:38And Showdown is going to be nothing short of historic.
22:44Mustafa Ali will take on Ethan Page for the NXT North American Championship.
22:49Dark State versus the Hardy Boys winner take all tag team championship match.
22:56And of course, we cannot forget about our men and
23:00women's Survivor Series style matches.
23:03Now, before this gets any more out of control, let's make it official.
23:09For the men-
23:10What?
23:15One second there, Ava.
23:17Now, I've been doing some thinking.
23:19As co-captain of the men's team of NXT, I select-
23:23Whoa, hold on, slow your roll, Trent.
23:26Yeah, you may be TNA World Champion, but Team NXT is absolute.
23:33So let me remind you, I'm the captain, you riding shotgun, you feel me?
23:37And I'm about to set our team straight.
23:41It's gonna be the new NXT Champion, Ricky Sainz.
23:46It's gonna be you, Trick Williams, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
23:50Let's talk about it.
23:51It's gonna be Young OG, Javon Evans.
23:54And my man coming off a big win tonight, it's gonna be you, Myles Bourne.
24:03Get in here.
24:06And Mikey, tell him who's on our team.
24:09How about y'all both listen to what I gotta say?
24:13Huh?
24:14And we got a locker room full of men that would love nothing more than to turn this place upside down.
24:25But if I got three soldiers to go to war with, I know exactly who I'm choosing.
24:30First person is a true TNA OG, Frankie Kazarian.
24:37Second, second, a three-time former TNA World Champion, Moose.
24:56And last but not least, the man who's been setting TNA on fire.
25:04The man that they call the youngest in charge, the TNA X Division Champion, Leon Slater.
25:13Kalani, before you pick your team, I have something I wanna say to you.
25:26When I was the TNA Knockouts World Champion, I still repped NXT.
25:33So you can sit there and try to be all innocent as you want.
25:38But as far as I'm concerned, you're nothing more than a two-timing traitor.
25:44So with that being said, for Team NXT, standing by my side will be none other than the only double champ left in this building.
26:01The one with the best, most devastating finisher in the business today, Saul Ruka.
26:10Then, we all saw what she was capable of earlier tonight.
26:23So I only got two words for you.
26:26Bring it in, Miss Parker.
26:30Miss Parker, Miss Parker, Miss Parker, Miss Parker, Miss Parker, Miss Parker.
26:39And last, for Team NXT, someone that I know very well.
26:46From personal experience, I know that she is the hardest hitter in the NXT Women's Division.
26:54Lola Vice.
26:57Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola.
27:09Jacey, you can think what you want, but the point is, is I accept all responsibilities when it comes to being TNA Knockouts World Champion.
27:18Even if that means going against NXT, but especially if that means I get a chance to shut you up.
27:30But for Team TNA, I'm picking two iconic women.
27:36And if you ask me, the new TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions,
27:42Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee, the inspiration.
27:47And for the final member of our team, I thought long about this one.
28:00Someone I shared a locker room with.
28:03Someone who has something to prove.
28:06Someone who has a chip on their shoulder.
28:09And that woman is, I mean, Mara Shawty.
28:15And let me keep it a buck with all of y'all real quick.
28:30Next Tuesday, we're seizing the night.
28:34And TNA is winning showdown.
28:38The same way, I'm walking into Bound for Glory.
28:42And bringing that TNA World Title back home where it belongs.
28:49Oh, yeah!
28:51Oh, yeah!

29:36What was once a friendly partnership has now exploded into absolute chaos.
29:46And there is Shawn Michaels.
29:48Shawn Michaels just came out here looking on at the hell that is being raised.
29:54Somebody's gonna do something about this, Vic.
30:00Have you ever been a part of something like we are right now in the Performance Center?
30:05It's chaos, man.
30:06What a seed in the PC.
30:16NXT Universe on their feet because they know what's gonna take place next week.
