02:16Cause we hold on the light.

02:21Better love for the fight.
02:23You can't say the letter.
02:26So if you win yourself, we'll take hold of this game.
02:31Well, there is the champion.
02:43And look, this is someone who has certainly changed the narrative of her career over the last 12 months.
02:50Most beatable, huh?
02:52Most beatable.
02:53Let me tell you something about JCJ.
02:55I'm going to just put it like this.
02:57Don't do it like that, baby.
03:01That's what JCJ is all about.
03:03The wide star.
03:04You better get a ticket.
03:06You better get your ticket to wide.
03:07Because she is the champion.
03:10Oh, yes, man.
03:12We might be getting pissy up in this mug.
03:15Well, it's the first time these two women have met in singles competition.
03:20According to our stats team.
03:22There you see another statistic.
03:24Stand up.
03:25Stand up, man.
03:2651 days as champion.
03:29As we get ready to settle in.
03:30Six months.
03:31Six months.
03:32As we get ready to settle in and go up to our ring announcer, Mike Rowe.
03:37What the hell has he got on tonight?
03:42The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Women's Championship.
03:55Introducing the challenger, representing the cooling, Tatum Paxley.
04:09And her opponent, representing Fatal Influence, she is the NXT Women's Champion, JCJ.
04:31Give it up for the champ, man.
04:37Give it up.
04:39When you saw the ovation that she just received from the NXT Universe.
04:44She looks ready, man.
04:45She looks ready.
04:46She looks ready.
04:47No, but JCJ.
04:50Why do you keep looking at Mike Rowe?
04:52JCJ.
04:52Let's talk about JCJ.
04:54Someone who has gone out and proved night in and night out how good she really is inside the squared circle.
05:01I'll ask you this.
05:01Is Izzy and the Culling genuinely happy for Tatum?
05:05Let me tell you something.
05:06If Tatum Paxley wins this championship, the Culling is going to be overjoyed.
05:11But if she loses, that's the question.
05:14That's the question, Victor.
05:15Well, Tatum Paxley said she feels she finally has a family.
05:19And let's remind everyone it was Tatum Paxley who earned this opportunity, winning a battle royal on NXT.
05:24Here's another stat of the night when we talk about our statistician team.
05:270-11 in title matches.
05:28WWE NXT tag titles, knockouts title, women's title, knockouts tag title, women's North American title.
05:33I can keep going on.
05:34How does anyone...
05:37How can anyone block out that fact?
05:45How can Tatum Paxley block out the noise?
05:47I mean, Tatum, I mean, she hasn't been here too often.
05:50I mean, Tatum knows exactly what this thing is all about.
05:53That's getting to this dance.
05:55Getting to the dance is the first thing.
05:57Winning it, that's something totally different.
05:59I think about the Lyra Valkyria effect, all right?
06:02I'm talking about iron sharpens iron.
06:04I think Tatum Paxley is as good as she's going to get here tonight.
06:08Can she cash in?
06:09That's the question.
06:10Well, she spoke about her past on Tuesday.
06:13And look, she's in there with J.C. Jane, right?
06:15Someone you just quoted about.
06:16One of the best.
06:16J.C. was once the one who people doubted.
06:20Am I right or wrong with that?
06:21People doubt her.
06:22People doubt Tatum Paxley.
06:23It's almost as if J.C. Jane could be looking into what she once was.
06:28J.C. can't forget that fact.
06:29She can't forget the fact of the hunger that's inside the challenge.
06:33Tell you something.
06:34J.C. Jane forgot that a long time ago.
06:36She became champ champ.
06:38I'm talking about double champ.
06:39And right now, she's out here poofy right now.
06:42Here on Halloween, half-ignite.
06:44How good she really is.
06:46Right now, this is a clinic.
06:48This is a clinic.
06:49Senton right to the lower back.
06:51Is there you see the look.
06:52Don't waste no time.
06:52Don't waste no time, J.C.
06:54Tatum Paxley's fatal influence on the outside.
06:55You're a loser!
06:57What do you think you want to slip?
06:59You're a loser?
07:00I mean, Tatum Paxley's not a loser.
07:02I mean, she hasn't been winning a lot of matches lately.
07:04I mean, come on.
07:05Paxley going up over now.
07:07Looking right back in.
07:08Senton didn't worry the second time.
07:10Challenger right back up.
07:11Taking down the champion.
07:13And now, look who's standing tall.
07:15And listen to the reaction.
07:17It's hard to deny the genuine support Tatum Paxley receives.
07:21Little mistake there made by Paxley, though.
07:23Cover, cover, cover.
07:24Wait a minute.
07:26Nice counter.
07:27Shoulders down now.
07:29Challenger able to roll right through.
07:30Back up.
07:31Looking for a clothesline.
07:32Got caught.
07:32J.C. Jane right now up.
07:33Maybe looking for a crucifix.
07:35Instead, rolling right around.
07:36Nice little arm drag takedown.
07:38Charges in.
07:39Bounces right off the rope.
07:40Right back in.
07:41Hurr.
07:41Karana taking the challenger down.
07:42Challenger has rocked into the turnbarks.
07:44You can tell that Paxley's prepared for this moment.
07:46But J.C.'s just perhaps one step ahead.
07:52Paxley able to get ahead of the champion for at least one second.
07:55Talk about not winning much.
07:57Oh, beautiful.
07:58Big elbow to the toe.
07:59And a quick kickout.
08:00Hasn't had a singles match victory since 2024.
08:03But the challenger, though, has stayed prepared.
08:06You've got to give her that credit.
08:07She's always been ready for the opportunity.
08:09Can she cash in tonight?
08:12I've said so many times how good I think Tatum Paxley is.
08:15I think just giving it.
08:16Backslide of a sword into a cover.
08:18Just giving her that chance.
08:20The thing is, if Tatum wins tonight, I don't think it's going to be a fluke or anything like that.
08:24I really don't.
08:26And now, you take a look at the neck strain of J.C. Jane.
08:29And Vanson, Sean Spears on the outside shouting right now.
08:33Isn't it an advantage to Culling being out here?
08:35I mean, it's the first premium live event for Paxley.
08:41I'll give you that.
08:42Numbers game.
08:43Numbers game.
08:43Top kick taken out.
08:45The champion.
08:46You know, for J.C. Jane.
08:49And she's able to counter for at least a second.
08:51Turn around.
08:52And, oh, and again, just got outsmarted.
08:55Paxley step up in Ciguri.
08:58And look, Tatum Paxley saw her best friend Lyra Valkyria win this very title at this very event in 2023.
09:05How has Lyra helped Paxley focus and even better herself?
09:09There again, the Lyra Valkyria effect coming into play.
09:13Like I said, iron sharpens iron.
09:15I don't think, you know, this is by osmosis or anything like that as far as Tatum Paxley doing so good in this matchup.
09:22She's prepared.
09:22She's been preparing for this for quite some time.
09:26J.C.
09:30Jane looking around.
09:31I mean, and look at Paxley taking out Fallon.
09:35And now, oh, got caught.
09:38Got caught big time.
09:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:41Oh, yeah.
09:42Throw, first into that steal.
09:48And it may not have been the throat.
09:50It may have been the chin.
09:52It may have been the jaw.
09:53Take a look.
09:54Look at your broken nose.
09:56Could be a broken nose.
09:57Could be a broken jaw.
10:03And did you just feel the air leave this arena?
10:08I'm looking at the body language right now of Tatum Paxley.
10:13It's not good at all.
10:14It's not good at all.
10:15Here we go.
10:17Here we go.
10:18From J.C.
10:19Jain.
10:19And this could be in center of the ring.
10:21Hook of the leg.
10:22Well, Paxley still with some flight.
10:24But you felt the air leave the Finley Toyota Center.
10:29When Tatum Paxley just went face first into that steel part of the ring.
10:34And J.C.
10:36Jain.
10:39In control.
10:41J.C.'s laying it on thick.
10:44Look at that big shot of looking at me.
10:46I mean, I'm stunned right now sitting here after what we just saw.
10:48Even more saw how Tatum Paxley's continuing.
10:50I mean, Tatum Paxley, she's got that athletic tape on the left shoulder.
10:54And we don't know if that's an injury or, you know, a sprain or anything like that.
10:57But J.C. Jain right there, it's a target for her, man.
11:01Oh, yeah.
11:02And Lainey Reed.
11:03Oh, yeah.
11:05I'm talking about the number one draft pick.
11:07That's Lainey Reed.
11:08Oh, yes.
11:08Back in live action in the ring.
11:10Can't worry about what's going on the outside.
11:12Hook of the leg.
11:14And another near fall.
11:16Look, J.C. always seems, Booker, to rise to the occasion.
11:22And it's what you say.
11:23By any means necessary.
11:25There you saw Lainey Reed.
11:26Door was open.
11:27There it gets exploited by J.C. Jain as this fight continues.
11:30You always question the fatal influence of, oh, are they on the same page?
11:35What do you think?
11:36Another cover.
11:36What do you think?
11:37They certainly do tonight.
11:37With the extra added addition of Lainey Reed, the biggest, the large.
11:42What do you think?
11:43They certainly look to be on the same page tonight, Booker.
11:46Okay.
11:46Okay.
11:47And this has been a special night, a special event for J.C. Jain.
11:51She won her first championship in NXT at this event.
11:53She helped Fallon Henley win gold last year.
11:56And speaking of which, it was Fallon Henley who really, winning that title here 12 months
12:02ago, really kick-started fatal influences, 12 months of dominance in the NXT women's.
12:09It ignited J.C. Jain.
12:10I'm talking about like nightly's oxide.
12:13I'm talking about just carrying gasoline on the five to take her all the way to double-double-champ status.
12:19That's what I'm talking about.
12:20That's J.C. Jain.
12:21Bring up double-double-champ.
12:23She did make history winning the TNA knockouts title earlier.
12:26Double-double-champ.
12:27Champ-champ.
12:27It's been quite the year for J.C. Jain.
12:30But this will be quite the moment for Tatum Paxley, who is rallying.
12:33Oh, baby.
12:34And that door just got slammed shut.
12:37She's a boy, homie JBL right there.
12:40Just dropped the hammer right there.
12:43Beautiful, beautiful close line.
12:45And again, J.C. Jain has just taken the crowd out of this matchup from the beginning.
12:51So pro Tatum Paxley, J.C. Jain has shut up everybody here in this arena.
12:58Tetska through camp right there.
12:59Just having all the pressure right there on Tatum Paxley.
13:02Keeping her warm close to the body.
13:05J.C. Jain!
13:07J.C. Jain!
13:09J.C. Jain!
13:09And I know you can hear what they say, but she's been champion for over 150 days.
13:13J.C. Jain's good.
13:14J.C.'s good.
13:15J.C.'s good.
13:17I like it.
13:17I like that champ.
13:18One more time.
13:20One more time.
13:24Double champ.
13:26Double champ.
13:27Double champ.
13:28Yes.
13:28I like that champ, too.
13:30When we get back to Orlando, we're going to get you to a hearing center.
13:33We're going to get that all checked out when we return to the Performance Center on Tuesday for NXT.
13:36As Tatum Paxley trying to create a little bit of separation.
13:39Trying to rally back into this matchup.
13:41But one more time.
13:43J.C. Jain just a step ahead.
13:45And a cut above.
13:47And we talk about wins and losses.
13:49I've got to throw this out there.
13:50Last loss for J.C. Jain in singles competition was the current women's world champion, Stephanie Vicar.
13:56Talking about that percentage factor.
13:58When you become champion, J.C. Jain has definitely used that to her advantage.
14:03In-ring IQ, in-ring acumen.
14:06I mean, she has all of it.
14:07She has everything.
14:08Oh, but Tatum Paxley just got all of that belly-to-back suplex.
14:13Look, I've got to give you credit, too, right now.
14:16Tatum Paxley went right for that taped shoulder.
14:19Something's going on in Paxley's body.
14:22I don't know how much more usage she's going to have from her left arm.
14:24She's not coming in with athletic tape on the shoulder.
14:28It is not something going on there.
14:29No way.
14:30No way.
14:31Trust me on that.
14:34Oh, wow.
14:35Actually, right now rallying.
14:37We talked about this being her first premium live event.
14:39Could the champion exploit that fact?
14:43But it's now Tatum Paxley who, in the deep waters of this matchup,
14:47just shoved off.
14:48J.C. Jain was able to counter into what looked like a sort of a fisherman's suplex.
14:54And Tatum Paxley now.
14:57I mean, you can't blame her.
14:59You've got to go for broke.
15:00You've got to risk it all.
15:01Pulling out all the stops right here.
15:03Willing to throw caution to the wind for a victory.
15:07And J.C. Jain out of desperation.
15:10So smart.
15:11So smart.
15:12Oh, yes.
15:18Let's go, Jain.
15:22Let's go, Jain.
15:25Let's go, Jain.
15:26NXT Universe trying their best here tonight.
15:30As both women book.
15:32Look at this.
15:33Bulldog off the top.
15:34Bulldog.
15:35Oh, my God.
15:36A super...
15:37Neckbreaker.
15:38Neckbreaker.
15:38Avalanche off the top.
15:40Cooper.
15:41Avalanche.
15:42Neckbreaker.
15:43Jain into the cover.
15:45It...
15:46Oh, jeez.
15:48John Spears just reaching in.
15:51What do you call him?
15:52The GPS?
15:52The GPS.
15:53Yes.
15:54Lady Reed.
15:59Wow.
16:00Fatal influence proving they're stronger than ever.
16:02But there's Izzy Dane.
16:04That was good.
16:04Oh, Fallon.
16:09Oh, we've got to fight.
16:11We certainly do.
16:12A lot going on.
16:14And our official...
16:15Chip Danning.
16:17Chip Danning had to make the call.
16:28The culling is gone, but how is that fair?
16:30That was a good call.
16:31How's that fair?
16:32It was a great call.
16:35Referee's doing a job.
16:40What the hell?
16:42What the hell?
16:42The hell of a job.
16:43Referee's doing his job.
16:44He's sending everyone to the back.
16:46Great job by our official.
16:53And it's truly going to be one-on-one.
16:58What do you guys?
16:59What do you guys do?
17:06There's no one for you, JC.
17:08Take him from behind.
17:09Oh, no.
17:10Oh, JC.
17:12Able to kick out.
17:13Back up.
17:13Oh, my word.
17:15Did you hear that?
17:15Petey.
17:16Ain't it?
17:17Still some fight, though, in the Challenger.
17:23I mean, Book, feel this.
17:26I mean, did you hear the impact?
17:29Need to jaw?
17:30And then think about that jaw.
17:32That face at Tatum Paxley.
17:34That went into the steal.
17:35She got all of that knee right there.
17:37And I'm sure she thought that was it.
17:39Thought that would do two-day time.
17:41But she's still in it.
17:44She knows what this is all about.
17:46It's about checks and championships, man.
17:48JC Jane has been called the most beatable.
17:50She's heard all of it.
17:51She's proven everyone wrong.
17:52Maybe looking for another opportunity to do more damage to Tatum.
17:57Paxley was able to break free for a moment.
18:00And then right in.
18:01And oh, that bottom rope right into the throat.
18:04Rolling on, court in, connect.
18:06Paxley turning it around.
18:08Oh, man.
18:09And a near fall.
18:11Paxley right now holding onto that throat.
18:13Trying to black out the pain.
18:14Looking for Cemetery Drive.
18:15JC Jane, though, able to counter.
18:17Rolling right through.
18:18Shoulders out.
18:18Pinning combination.
18:19Another near fall.
18:20Man, it's so close there by JC Jane.
18:22But she's not letting up the gas.
18:24Not letting up the gas.
18:25Still going for him right here.
18:26Certainly is not.
18:27And again, the culling.
18:28Set to the back.
18:30Fatal influence.
18:31Set to the back.
18:32All ejected from ringside.
18:34And oh, the cannonball.
18:37Misfire.
18:39Oh!
18:39That was a rolling encore.
18:41JC looked like she's out.
18:43JC just got hit with the rolling encore.
18:44JC seems stars right now.
18:47Paxley.
18:49Move, JC.
18:51Move.
18:51Move.
18:5250.
18:53She got it.
18:54But will it add up to three?
18:57Oh, man.
19:08First, that massive rolling encore.
19:124'50 connected.
19:15Not quite yet.
19:18JC Jane showing some fight.
19:21So, so close there.
19:25But JC had it around with all the kick out at the last millisecond.
19:30You can say that again.
19:31But right now looking again for cemetery drive.
19:33Second time wasn't a try.
19:34Back fist right to the chin.
19:36Knocking around.
19:37Opening up a little bit.
19:40And now looking for a little extra.
19:42Another knee right to the side of the face.
19:44I still got to point out.
19:45Paxley's continuing to hold on to her.
19:47Oh, man.
19:48JC Jane has to sense that.
19:50That was a gnarly, gnarly bump right there.
19:53I don't know what it was.
19:54But definitely effective.
19:56Got caught.
19:57Both these women right now doing battles.
20:00Showing you, Booker, truly what it means to be the women's champion on this brand.
20:06Think about all the women that have held that title.
20:08Stephanie Bacare.
20:09Charlotte Flair.
20:10Becky Lynch.
20:11Rio Ripley.
20:12The list goes on and on.
20:14Lyra Valkyria.
20:16Bayley.
20:17Dana Bacley fighting like this is the one and only shot at this championship.
20:21And she's looking to try to cash in by any means necessary.
20:25Here we go.
20:25Here we go.
20:27More time.
20:27It's still able to kick out as this one continuing to roll on.
20:31Another forearm under the jaw.
20:33JC answering right back.
20:35Champion.
20:37Challenger.
20:39Leaving it here tonight.
20:41In the center of the ring.
20:42JC's not willing to relent.
20:44She's not willing to let go of that championship.
20:46In the night, something she worked so damn hard to actually finally capture.
20:51Oh my god, man.
20:53Both women with the same idea.
20:55And now the question book I ask you.
20:58Who is going to give?
21:00Who has it?
21:00Whoa, whoa, whoa.
21:01Wait a minute.
21:01You see Farr in the back?
21:02What the hell?
21:06They're coming.
21:07Referees doing their best.
21:10And Finn Witt fluid's coming out here.
21:12What?
21:12Is he game?
21:13What's she doing back out here?
21:16Is he with the women's championship?
21:21What was Izzy looking to do?
21:27Just got caught.
21:28Oh.
21:28Cemetery Drive.
21:30Cemetery Drive.
21:31Nobody to have a count.
21:32The referee.
21:33The referee.
21:34The referee.
21:34Paxley shocks the universe.
21:41Here is your winner and the new NXT Women's Champion, Tatum Paxley.
21:56What a moment.
22:02I don't necessarily know what the hell Izzy Dame was doing, but take nothing away from Tatum
22:09Paxley, who has reached the mountaintop and listened to this place.
22:174.50.
22:34I mean, J.C. Jane gave it her all.
22:39She took everything.
22:41This is the turning point.
22:42Here comes the final influence.
22:44Here comes the coming.
22:44Everyone was set.
22:46Everyone was ejected from ringside.
22:50And then Izzy Dame.
22:52What was Izzy trying to do?
22:54She saw J.C. coming in.
22:56J.C. caught Izzy.
22:57The match would continue.
22:58Cemetery Drive.
22:59Tatum Paxley into the cover.
23:01Finally, the official would turn around.
23:03And Tatum would have her crowning moment.
23:09Here is...
23:10And this week she spoke of her father, who at one point took her into a city, their hometown,
23:16to see a marching band.
23:18And said, when you grow up, would you be the champion for the broken, the beaten, and the
23:21damned?
23:22Well, right now in the culling, Tatum Paxley did just that.
23:26She is the champion.
23:27And she is on top of the NXT women's division.
23:33And she is on top of the NXT women's division.
