00:09and more nostalgic WWE archived content.
00:18Glamour is forever.
00:30The following contest scheduled for one fall.
00:46It's for the NXT Women's North American Championship.
00:56Introducing first from London, England,
01:00Blake Monroe!
01:04The bride of Chucky is here.
01:07And certainly, Booker, this woman has been on a mission
01:10to make the women's division one thing and one thing only.
01:15Glamorous.
01:16The mega-blonde bombshell.
01:18Blake Monroe, give her credit, man.
01:21Ever since stepping into NXT, it's been all bigness.
01:25I loved it, man.
01:30I loved it, man.
02:00And her opponent, representing the NXT Women's North American Champion Sol Ruka
02:11from Adelaide, South Australia, Zarya!
02:16Look, I know we've had a lot of fun tonight, typically when we're sitting here with each
02:22other ringside, but I do want to get serious for a second here.
02:25Is this the most pressure Zarya has ever felt since her arrival here at NXT?
02:32It's a very, very pivotal moment with Zarya, Zarya came to NXT very, very highly doubted.
02:38Thought she should have been championed by now, but now she's going in to finish a championship
02:43by default, in my opinion.
02:45Of course, these are the brightest lights that Zarya has competed in under these traditions in NXT.
02:52It's going to be great to see how well she's paying out here in Halloween having.
02:57It's going to be good.
02:57We saw Sol Ruka on one crutch, braced up left knee.
03:02Suppose it's a bonus that she could be ringside, but your heart just has to go out to Sol Ruka,
03:07who truly here is the champion, and she's helpless.
03:11Did you hear what I just said?
03:12Zarya defeated the championship by default.
03:15She shouldn't even be in there right now.
03:17All right, so you actually feel bad for Sol Ruka.
03:20This match should not even be happening.
03:22I'm talking about Sol Ruka should have forfeited that championship.
03:28I get what you're saying.
03:31Our general manager...
03:32Vacated it.
03:33Right.
03:33She made the ruling.
03:34It is what it is.
03:35This title is on the line.
03:36This is not right.
03:37This is not right.
03:38This is not right by any means.
03:39Would you rather have Sol Ruka than have her title just taken from her?
03:42Maybe she...
03:43Defend the championship, if you have to.
03:45But don't...
03:45I mean, lose her.
03:46Oh!
03:47And there comes a challenger right in,
03:49and it's going to be awkward to say champion when it comes to Zarya,
03:52but she is defending the title tonight.
03:54Sol Ruka, of course, sideline,
03:55stemming from a women's tag team title match that took place on SmackDown,
03:59a match I want to add, Booker,
04:00Blake Monroe had no business being ringside,
04:04and we can debate that until we're blue in the face.
04:07My question is,
04:08are we going to see a different side now of Zarya,
04:11who's fighting for her friend,
04:12fighting for her teammate,
04:14big pump kick into the cover to retain in a kickout?
04:16I don't know what we're going to see out of Zarya.
04:18Zarya's always been, you know, built on power, you know,
04:21I mean, going out there using that technique,
04:24and it's worked for it.
04:25It's worked for it.
04:26But the thing is, can Blake figure it out?
04:28That's the question.
04:29Can Blake figure that power out?
04:31Oh, well, as you've already mentioned,
04:33this is very unusual,
04:34but it is not unprecedented for someone else to be defending a championship,
04:38as Zarya is here tonight defending on Sol Ruka's behalf,
04:42and just trying to pick my head up from the monitor
04:44and take a look at Sol Ruka seeing her eyes right now.
04:46Great job by our production crew.
04:48I wonder, truly, if she even slept a wink last night,
04:51knowing she had no control over the fate of something she fought so hard for,
04:55to literally climb rung by rung up the ladder to retrieve.
04:59Well, I'm so surprised, you know,
05:00as far as Sol Ruka's, you know,
05:02chose to do, let Zarya go in there and defend a championship.
05:05There's no way I would let someone go in there and defend my championship.
05:09No way that would ever happen.
05:10Blake Monroe coming right in,
05:12got caught for a moment,
05:13and right out of the gates here,
05:15Blake Monroe turning right around,
05:17and not only shoulder,
05:18but also the neck of Zarya snapping,
05:21and right now,
05:22if you are the challenger,
05:24as we really get into this matchup,
05:26how would you go after Zarya?
05:28How would you combat the champion here tonight?
05:31Just keep chipping away.
05:32I mean, it's about making,
05:34you know, Zarya feel exactly what it's like
05:36to be in there with someone
05:37as touted as Blake Monroe.
05:40I mean, using that power against her
05:43somewhere in this matchup could come into play.
05:45I mean, like I say,
05:46under the bright lights,
05:47we've never seen Zarya in this situation.
05:49Shoulder first driven.
05:51And Blake Monroe,
05:52when we talk about strategy,
05:54you've got to think right now for Blake Monroe,
05:56take away the power game of Zarya.
05:58Like I say, not just take it away from him,
06:00but use that power against her.
06:02I mean, Zarya,
06:04early in this matchup,
06:05she's going to have that power.
06:07She's going to have that scammer,
06:08but like I said,
06:09those deep waters,
06:10taking Zarya in those deep,
06:12deep waters,
06:12drawing her in and drawing her in
06:14and trying to drown her.
06:15I think that's what it's going to be all about
06:17for Blake Monroe.
06:18Now, Zarya charged in,
06:19got caught from the challenger,
06:20and right now,
06:21Blake Monroe almost with a smile on her face,
06:24trying to hyperextend
06:26that left elbow,
06:28trying to do more damage to the shoulder
06:29and the official in this matchup,
06:31Joey Gonzalez being a little bit lenient
06:33as Blake Monroe just looking over
06:35at Sol Ruka.
06:39And again,
06:40my heart just goes out to Sol
06:41as Blake,
06:42target acquired,
06:44flying in,
06:45bam,
06:45and that drop kick
06:46to the shoulder
06:47of Zarya
06:48into the cover
06:49to win the championship
06:50in a kickout.
06:51Isn't it a disadvantage
06:52for Sol Ruka to be out here?
06:54I mean,
06:55for Zarya,
06:55I mean,
06:55is that a distraction?
06:57That's a great question
06:58that you bring.
06:58I mean,
06:58do you think it's a distraction?
07:00I thought maybe Zarya
07:01would be able to use it
07:01as motivation.
07:02I think so.
07:03I mean,
07:03this is Zarya's first time
07:04under the bright lights
07:05defending the title
07:06that's not even...
07:07Look at this submission,
07:08though, book.
07:09Really.
07:11Trying to bend back
07:12the body of Zarya
07:14and Blake Monroe
07:15has been on top of Zarya
07:17and maybe Zarya
07:17not ready for those bright lights.
07:19I don't think it's that.
07:20I don't think she's ready
07:20for Blake Monroe's
07:23and Monroe
07:24and Reed's acumen
07:25right now.
07:25She's looking great.
07:27Right now got Zarya
07:27in a bad, bad position.
07:30I heard what she said.
07:30I felt like I was back
07:31in Houston for a moment,
07:32but we're not.
07:33We're here in Arizona.
07:34It's Halloween Havoc.
07:35And Zarya
07:36turning things around
07:37with a clothesline.
07:38Big back elbow
07:39and she just looked out
07:40for a moment
07:41at Sol Ruka.
07:42Maybe she is using it
07:44as motivation.
07:45Big pump kick
07:46dropping the challenger.
07:47Look at Zarya.
07:48She's favoring that elbow.
07:49Could it be hyper-extended?
07:50That's the question.
07:51That's the question right there.
07:52It doesn't look to be
07:53affecting her power
07:54at this juncture.
07:56Belly-to-back suplex.
07:58Still favoring it though.
07:59Still favoring that left elbow.
08:01You talk about
08:02the inexperience of Zarya,
08:04but when it comes
08:04to championship matches,
08:05to my knowledge,
08:06for Blake Monroe,
08:07this is her first title match
08:08here in NXT.
08:09Trying to make the most of it.
08:11Monroe, who made her debut
08:12in July,
08:13trying to live up
08:14to the hype
08:15here tonight.
08:17More high-impact offense
08:18blocking out the pain
08:19into the cover.
08:21This matchup
08:22is going to continue.
08:23Just think about how fast
08:24Blake Monroe
08:25got to this position
08:26though,
08:26this championship match.
08:29Take another look
08:30and see the pain
08:32on the face
08:33of the challenger.
08:34I think it would be
08:35a travesty of justice
08:36even if Blake Monroe
08:37wins this matchup.
08:39She doesn't want to win
08:39the matchup like this.
08:40She wanted to beat
08:42Saul Ruka
08:43to hand her the title
08:45Tuesday on NXT.
08:47She didn't want to fight for it.
08:48She wanted to take
08:49the easy way out.
08:50No, there is no easy way out.
08:52That was the proper way out.
08:55We could argue about it all day.
08:56But Zarya trying to bend
08:59the body of Blake Monroe
09:00in the center of that ring.
09:02And Monroe,
09:03nice counter.
09:04Looking for the arm bar.
09:05Did you see that?
09:06Talking about a hyper...
09:07She might break it.
09:10That arm is extended.
09:11Zarya is screaming.
09:13Saul trying to root on
09:14and fire up her partner
09:16who's defending her title.
09:19And Zarya able to roll
09:20those hips.
09:21Take away the pressure.
09:23Talking about a hyper extension.
09:24I'm not going to say that.
09:25That elbow,
09:25it could be broken.
09:26Whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:28And fighting
09:30through the pain.
09:31Took everything out
09:32of her though.
09:33Right there, Vic.
09:33Yeah, I just thought
09:34did you know that Zarya
09:34went right for that elbow
09:36right for that arm.
09:36Yes, let me see.
09:37That right there,
09:38that one move right there
09:39took so much out of Zarya.
09:41If you were Sol Ruka
09:43right now,
09:44would you be worried?
09:45Of course.
09:45Has this matchup
09:46been going on
09:47where we're at?
09:48I mean, Sol Ruka,
09:49I mean,
09:50double champ champ,
09:52but one time
09:54it could be
09:54about to slip away
09:56real quick.
09:56It is the second
09:59of five championships
10:01to be defended
10:03here at Halloween Havoc.
10:07And I got to ask you,
10:08Blake Monroe wins
10:10as she shoot up
10:10your Fab Five.
10:12How about this?
10:12If Zarya wins,
10:13if she enter
10:14the Fab Five.
10:15Fade Five.
10:16Fade Five.
10:16Fade Five.
10:17If Zarya
10:18could perhaps
10:20somehow win this match,
10:22she definitely would,
10:23her stock would rise.
10:24But I'm going to tell you
10:24right now,
10:25Blake Monroe,
10:26she's a player.
10:27She's over.
10:28Got caught right there
10:29with a big shot.
10:30Another pump kick.
10:31Oh,
10:31and both women
10:32with the same
10:33thought process.
10:38And both going
10:39to the outside
10:40right now.
10:42Zarya at least
10:42on her feet
10:43for a moment
10:44trying to regroup.
10:45And again,
10:46that left arm
10:47just dangling,
10:48just hanging
10:49as
10:50charging in.
10:53Oh!
10:53Well,
10:57if that shoulder
10:57wasn't damaged
10:58before,
10:59you've got to think
11:00maybe now
11:01some sort
11:01of separation.
11:05Do your job,
11:06Ralph.
11:07Do your job.
11:12Hold it.
11:19Do your damn job,
11:21Ralph.
11:21Let's go,
11:22let it.
11:23Let it go.
11:23Let it go.
11:24Let it go.
11:24Let it go.
11:25Let it go.
11:25Let it go.
11:26Let it go.
11:26We got a new champion.
11:28Zarya doesn't want to stop.
11:29The ref got the head
11:30of wherewithal.
11:31Oh,
11:32Sol just...
11:33Sol just...
11:33Sol had to
11:42pop that shoulder
11:43back into place
11:44by shoving her partner
11:45and friend
11:46into the steel post
11:47and now
11:47Zarya
11:48with a German suplex
11:50and it's almost like
11:51Zarya's been
11:52reborn,
11:53Booker.
11:54What the hell?
11:54What the hell?
11:55Outside interference
11:56in a matchup like this
11:58with this magnitude.
11:59Come on.
12:00Come on,
12:01ref.
12:02That's on the ref.
12:03Sol Ruka
12:04didn't harm
12:04Blake Monroe, though.
12:05That's on the ref right there.
12:06That's on the ref.
12:08Well,
12:08Zarya now
12:08with a new lease
12:10in this matchup
12:11defending the championship
12:13of her partner,
12:14of her friend.
12:15Could be looking
12:15for that F5 maybe
12:17trying to go around it.
12:18Oh,
12:18counter!
12:19Oh,
12:19baby!
12:20Into another arm bone.
12:21Oh,
12:21baby!
12:23And Blake Monroe,
12:24you can say what you want
12:25about her.
12:25She's traveled the world
12:26through the United Kingdom
12:27into Japan
12:28trying to showcase
12:29some of that ability
12:30right now.
12:30Has the wrist,
12:31almost twisting the wrist,
12:33hyperspending the elbow.
12:34Trying to separate
12:35that shoulder right now.
12:36It's all Ruka.
12:37She's so close!
12:38So close!
12:39Sol's gonna tap!
12:40Sol can't tap!
12:42Zarya's gotta tap!
12:42Sol's gotta roll over!
12:44Zarya's just rolled over
12:45like a roll
12:45and a kick out!
12:46Man!
12:47Got me all confused
12:47trying to counter
12:48what you're saying!
12:49But there's no counter
12:50to that knee!
12:50Oh,
12:50yeah!
12:51Good night!
12:53Whoa,
12:53kick out!
12:54Woo!
12:56What a moment!
12:58Gotta give Zarya
12:58a lot of credit
12:59right there.
12:59I mean,
13:00Monroe just
13:01barking at the referee
13:02right there.
13:03That should have been
13:03a pre-count!
13:05Sol reaching out
13:06and letting her partner...
13:07There's that hair pick!
13:11And that's the same hair pick
13:13Blake Monroe used
13:14two weeks ago
13:15to beat Zarya on NXT
13:16right to the throat!
13:18What are you talking about?
13:21And now Blake...
13:22Oh!
13:23I got caught with another spear!
13:24The waiting!
13:25The waiting!
13:26Oh!
13:31And you start to wonder now
13:32not just for Sol Ruka
13:34but also for Zarya
13:35what else needs to be done
13:39in this matchup?
13:40That was the second spear.
13:43And Blake Monroe right now
13:44knows she's in trouble.
13:46Blake Monroe
13:46trying to get as far away
13:48from Zarya
13:49as she can.
13:50Zarya looked over
13:51with that title.
13:52That's what she's fighting for.
13:53The championship.
13:55Her friend.
13:56Her partner.
14:00It's...
14:00Oh!
14:02Well, that was inadvertent.
14:04That was inadvertent for a moment.
14:06And Zarya, though,
14:07just saw
14:08Blake Monroe
14:09take out her injured partner.
14:12What's up?
14:13Zarya, who's going to take advantage of it?
14:22But the championship's on the line right now, Book.
14:24Championship is on the line.
14:26And that's what Zarya
14:27don't really understand.
14:28This is the first time
14:29in this position right here
14:31under these bright lights.
14:33And Monroe
14:33is going to take advantage of it.
14:35Glamour shot!
14:36One, two, one, two, three!
14:38A glamour shot DDT.
14:40Three!
14:41Blake Monroe
14:42back into the ring
14:44for a second time!
14:46We got to do champion.
14:47Another glamour shot!
14:47We got to do champion!
14:49We got to do champion!
14:51Oh, yeah!
14:52Monroe
14:52Oh, yeah!
14:53And we
14:54done it!
14:56Here is your winner
14:58and the new
15:01NXT Women
15:04North American Champion
15:07Blake
15:09Monroe!
15:13Stand up!
15:14No!
15:15Stand up, man!
15:17Blake Monroe
15:18In record time!
15:20In record time!
15:21Oh!
15:21I'm not getting into
15:22this debate with you.
15:23We'll talk about it
15:24over the weekend.
15:25Nonetheless,
15:26we got a new champion.
15:28But just like I mentioned,
15:30the hairpin.
15:31That is what
15:32Blake Monroe
15:32used to defeat
15:34Sol Rook
15:35on NXT
15:36several weeks ago.
15:37Tonight,
15:37in that moment,
15:38wasn't to be undone.
15:40Zarya with that spear.
15:42Trying to keep
15:42the shoulders down.
15:43And the more
15:44I've thought about it,
15:45did you see
15:46Blake Monroe
15:47look down?
15:49I don't know
15:49if that was accidental.
15:51I think that was
15:52on purpose.
15:52Blake Monroe
15:53knew Zarya
15:54would go
15:55and that would
15:57open the door
15:58for not just
15:59one,
16:01but two
16:02glamour shot
16:04DDTs
16:05to put gold
16:07around
