Transcript

00:00I mean, yeah, I mean, it's her fault that she lost a goal, man.

00:05My thing is- Is it though?

00:07My thing is, Soluka has no one to blame for her downfall, but herself.

00:13Come on, let's just be honest.

00:14Well, let's also be honest.

00:15Let's be honest.

00:15Let's call out the point, she was never defeated for the championship.

00:19Doesn't matter.

00:20Doesn't matter, she put herself in that position to not have a championship around

00:25her waist, but just a couple of months ago, she was double champ, right?

00:27Am I correct on that?

00:31She was.

00:31And now look at her, now look at her, she's swimming upstream.

00:34She's like a salmon, she's like a salmon right there.

00:37Let's look at that left knee, which is braced, obviously.

00:40Soluka is medically cleared.

00:42Is she 100%?

00:43There's no way, but we know she wants to win this championship back so bad.

00:47Taking out Blake Monroe right in front of Zarya, and we get a near fall.

00:51But you talk about the knee, how much trepidation do you think we're gonna see

00:54from Soluka in this match?

00:56Yeah, I think you're gonna see a lot of me.

00:58Three, three.

00:59Soluka's desperate to get back to that spot, and

01:02she's definitely gonna come out here and do everything she possibly can to actually do that.

01:07But one thing you say, she's medically cleared, right?

01:09But she still has that knee brace on.

01:11So that tells me that she's not 100%.

01:15That's right, she absolutely is not.

01:17I mean, jumping, climbing, the acrobatic offense as you hear the NXT universe.

01:21A lot of pressure on that knee.

01:23And that was a test.

01:24She just passed it, but a nice sling blade from Blake Monroe, who comes right back in.

01:31Hey, hey, hey.

01:32Going for the ride, a few spins.

01:34Beautiful, beautiful.

01:35And that sidewalk slam into the cover to retain, and a near fall.

01:39And you've already said it, it's Sol's fault that she's in this situation.

01:43But look, she trusted her partner.

01:45But now that knee being tested one more time, single leg crab, Sol sensing it,

01:49realizing it, and doing everything she can to get out of it.

01:51She trusted her partner.

01:52She trusted her closest friend.

01:54And let's be honest, you've been against the friendship from the very beginning

01:58between Sol and Zarya.

02:00Bam, super kick over the jaw.

02:02Hold on, hold on a second.

02:03Cover for the title.

02:05Hang on.

02:05I haven't been against a friendship or anything like that.

02:07I think Zarya has so much talent herself.

02:10She was touted to be a champion by this time, but I'm gonna tell you right now,

02:14it's free and thin.

02:15How many times have I said, friends?

02:16You said it enough.

02:17Pals, buddies, it doesn't work out.

02:19I get it, but look, Zarya has done nothing wrong.

02:21She went out there and she fought for her friend.

02:23She battled for her partner as Blake Monroe ripping at the hair.

02:27The thing is, the one thing, you're never gonna fight for somebody else as hard as

02:30you wanna fight for yourself.

02:31That's very true as well.

02:32And Blake Monroe right now continuing to focus wisely on that left knee, even right now trying

02:38to twist at the ankle any way she can to torque on that damaged left knee.

02:43And Sol Ruka with some, well, that's one way to escape a whole book.

02:49We're talking about passing that test.

02:51As far as that knee right now, Sol Ruka's doing a hell of a job, but

02:55Blake Monroe seems to be one, maybe two steps ahead.

02:58That's too quick, he's lost.

02:59And here we see- Yes!

03:02A devil in those angel eyes.

03:05Talking about somebody- From the champion.

03:06Talking about somebody that knows what this business is all about.

03:09Just a mere five months since she's the North American champion after stepping in

03:14NXT.

03:14You gotta give her credit for that, Victor.

03:16And Blake was yelling for a moment, took a little too much time, and

03:21she just went face first, Brooke, face first into that solid steel post.

03:25Well, what just happened, Sol Ruka just barred herself just a little bit of time right there.

03:30Oh, baby!

03:31Both women with the same mindset because both women wanna walk out with the women's

03:36North American title.

03:37The second championship match of Gold Rush, which will be a two-week special here for NXT.

03:59Of course, all leading to deadline, Saturday, December the 6th, who will be champion?

04:05And who will be holding the women's North American Titleist.

04:07Things right here in front of us, starting to pick up and, Brooke, I don't know if you just

04:13saw what I did, is Blake Monroe obviously baiting in the challenger.

04:17There was a little, I don't wanna say hesitation, but there was a little limp right there from

04:22Sol Ruka.

04:23Blake Monroe's got to realize that right now.

04:25No, I mean, Trisha saw it as well, I mean, if you saw it, I'm sure Blake Monroe's about

04:30to capitalize off that little bit of it, you know, hiccup right now that Sol is going to,

04:34it's not a hiccup, and she's hurt, she's hurt, Vic.

04:37Well, just a reminder that it was Blake Monroe who defeated Zarya, not Sol Ruka, for the championship.

04:46Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter, right?

04:48Well, let me ask you this then, book, you've been a multi-time champion across many different

04:53brands, a big kick from Sol Ruka, champion, knees buckling, challenger charging right in,

04:57looking to overpower, and again, nice, nasty, gnarly takedown, and what is on Zarya's mind,

05:05on the outside, as she's pounding on the mat, I think she's trying to yell at Sol that this

05:10could be Sol's moment.

05:11Sol could be looking for a submission, trying to bend back, and oh, yes.

05:16Surfboard, surfboard, surfboard here, baby, we're riding the big waves here, dog.

05:22And Sol doing a great job of keeping her shoulders off the mat, as Gary Wilson in great position.

05:27Gary, though, focusing on Blake Monroe, and oh, face first again, Blake, and that's two big

05:33shots that Blake has taken, not only the mat, but also the steel post earlier, but back to

05:37what I was saying, when it came to Blake, does she not need a victory over the former

05:42champion to solidify herself as the champion?

05:45No, of course she does.

05:46I mean, because Blake Monroe, she came in, and she's thinking about only the two things

05:51we talk about all the time, checks the championship.

05:54Sol Ruka, on the other hand, she was all about friendship until just a couple of weeks ago.

05:59Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, when she was all out of gold, and now, now she wants to be serious.

06:04Am I right?

06:05Am I right on that?

06:05I don't necessarily say that you're right.

06:08Come on, man.

06:08I do think there's some truth to what you're saying, but for Sol, and there's Zarya looking

06:13on the outside, Sol Ruka.

06:15Wait, wait, wait, did you see the look at Zarya's eyes?

06:17She's looking like a friend that's on the outside.

06:19No, no, she doesn't look so happy here and now.

06:21Oh, wait a minute.

06:21Oh, man.

06:22Oh, yes, man.

06:25And again, the bullseye on the knee.

06:29They're killing it.

06:29And now there is just a different look in the eye of Blake Monroe, almost as if she's smelling

06:34blood in the water.

06:36And all Zarya can do is watch her friend.

06:41Because again, it was Ava who said, you can wait, you can wait till San Antonio.

06:47Sol Ruka said, no, I want the title opportunity in New York.

06:51Blake into the cupboard.

06:52And a kick out.

06:54Now you really start to wonder, the first question I asked you,

06:59was this a wise decision by Sol Ruka?

07:01No, I'm gonna tell you, it wasn't a wise decision.

07:03I mean, just because the doctors say you're cleared, doesn't mean you are ready to compete.

07:08And I think that's the problem right here with Sol Ruka, she's just not ready, man.

07:13Well, Blake Monroe has not only rounded Sol Ruka,

07:18she has also taken the NXT universe out of this match.

07:23It's not often you hear the city of New York City silent.

07:27Blake Monroe continuing to punish Sol Ruka.

07:30Who's walking out tonight?

07:32The women's North American champion.

07:34And all Blake Monroe continue to apply the pressure to the injured left knee.

07:44That is no way 100%.

07:46But again, it was our general manager, Ava, who said, you can have this opportunity at deadline.

07:51It was Sol Ruka said, no, I want it tonight.

07:53And there's been a bullseye on her knee.

07:56Check out Blake Monroe, man.

07:58Right now, she's so efficient in the game plan.

08:01Right now, executing that game plan to perfection.

08:05And I love it, I love it, working on that knee, man.

08:09Right now, she's compromised, Sol Ruka is compromised.

08:12Well, you can agree with this, and you disagreed a little bit here tonight.

08:15You can agree that the champion herself has no issues finding that killer instinct,

08:20as we're seeing right now.

08:21Jetson championship, man, selfish business.

08:24Right now, Blake Monroe, she knows all about that.

08:27Shoulders down, Sol was doing her best to try to break out of that.

08:30Heads up, move by Blake Monroe, had to, oh, relinquish the hold.

08:34And then a big kick from the challenger.

08:36Champion gets blocked, big forearm from Sol Ruka.

08:38Answering right back again, Ruka with another block.

08:41Kick to the gut, bundle of the body, big elbow to the back of the neck, followed up with a chop.

08:45Blake Monroe trying anything to answer back, and going right to the knee.

08:49And again, that is the target.

08:50That is the absolute equalizer in this matchup for Blake Monroe.

08:55No matter what Sol Ruka does, she's got it.

09:01Look at Blake Monroe, just the way she's moving right now in the ring.

09:04It's almost like she's toying with Sol Ruka because of that knee.

09:07You gotta understand, that knee is just not sore or anything like that.

09:11That's a surgically repaired knee, and Blake Monroe knows that.

09:15I mean, what's the quickest way to victory?

09:20What's the quickest way?

09:21We'll be going after that knee.

09:23Exactly my point.

09:23Sol Ruka has a history of knee injuries.

09:27The most recent though caused SmackDown trying to become a triple champion

09:32competing for the WWE Women's Tags.

09:34Whoa, baby.

09:35As you mentioned, the speed title she once held.

09:38Zarya here on the outside has a chance to recap for that.

09:41Next week will be Zarya Fallon-Henley for the title week two.

09:44But here on week one, Sol Ruka a half second away.

09:49That should have been a finish right there.

09:50That should have been a three count.

09:51But I'm gonna tell you, after that nip up right here, look at that.

09:53About one leg, about one leg.

09:56That knee is wrecked right now.

09:59You think that knee is that compromise?

10:00Let me tell you something, that knee is wrecked right now.

10:03And I'm gonna tell you, Blake Monroe is so close to capitalizing on it.

10:07Yes, yes.

10:08I don't know if Sol Ruka was looking for the Soul Snatcher.

10:10What I do know is that knee brace now is starting to come off that left knee booker.

10:15Look around the cap.

10:16It's a little bit loose so you'll wonder, is that knee gonna hold up that much longer?

10:20Let me tell you something, I can tell you this.

10:22Sol Ruka right now is going on adrenaline and adrenaline only.

10:26Right now she's out of it.

10:27She's out of it, Dick.

10:31We're inside the theater at Madison Square Garden, NXT Gold Rush week one.

10:35We are live.

10:36Sol Ruka the former champion who's not beaten for this title.

10:39Trying to reclaim it from the champion, Blake Monroe, who's on the floor.

10:44And high risk and a little bit of reward.

10:47But I don't know if, look at the knee.

10:49Again, the awkwardness of the landing for Sol Ruka.

10:52She's not 100% booker, but she's doing it.

10:54She's not driving the determination, damn it.

10:56You cannot win the match outside right now.

10:59I don't know what that means, but she's gonna be able to get Blake Monroe back in the ring.

11:09I'm serious.

11:09Not the impact, but the landing.

11:12I don't know if that was out of frustration, but Sol does not have that pep in her step,

11:15rightfully so.

11:17And look, she's got Zara here on the outside.

11:19But Zara can only do so much.

11:21And there's that power on display.

11:23It needed that.

11:23Oh, baby.

11:25Yes.

11:25And a chop block from Blake Monroe.

11:29And Bobby Bowden clip from back in the day, baby.

11:33And we know she would go to hellacious lengths to retain her title.

11:37But that single leg crab is locked in.

11:41That knee brace is coming off and now cinching and empty.

11:44Oh, look at the pressure.

11:45Look at the pressure on the little lumbar.

11:47Center of the ring, and Blake realizing it.

11:49She's trying to take the damn brace off.

11:51The referee might have to save Sol here.

11:53Sol's not gonna quit.

11:55Blake Monroe is cinched in deep.

11:58I agree with you right there, but the referee might have to have a worth all understanding

12:01to know how to do his job and perhaps stop this thing, man.

12:05Oh, for a moment in time, this matchup continuing.

12:08But how much longer?

12:09And again, the devilish ways of Blake Monroe.

12:13Look at the eyes of Sol in the room right now.

12:15Man, come on.

12:17You can see the pain right now, she's grimacing and pain, man.

12:19We knew Sol wasn't 100%.

12:22We knew she was in here even though she was medically cleared at her own discretion.

12:27Blake's all about, man.

12:28She's about stepping on some toes.

12:29And stepping on some toes and keep on walking, Jack.

12:34Oh, yes, man.

12:35Is there any good in Blake Monroe?

12:38We've seen the, oh, cover, got the tie.

12:41Oh, so close.

12:43Super kicked in, connecting the body just gave out.

12:46That knee just gave out of Sol Ruka.

12:47Nothing left.

12:48And Blake Monroe, right back in, looking for another submission.

12:52Again, bending back the knee.

12:54Sol Ruka's foot is almost hitting her in the back of her own head.

12:58That's a damn pressure right there.

12:59As well as that knee had been kicked the wrong way.

13:01Oh, my God, man.

13:03What did Tari just say?

13:08Think about it.

13:17Sol said, don't do it.

13:18No!

13:21Look at the torque on the leg and

13:27the sinister smile on the face of the still champion, Blake Monroe.

13:33As a result of throwing in the towel,

13:38your winner, and still, the NXT Women's North American Champion,

13:47Blake Monroe.

13:52Wow.

13:52Zarya earlier said she had the champion, her friend's best interest at heart.

14:00As Blake Monroe retains, but let's be honest, Sol Ruka never tapped.

14:05Let's look at today's Your Way replay brought to you by Burger King.

14:09And BK, have it your way, you rule.

14:11And certainly, Blake Monroe had her way in the late stages of this matchup.

14:16Take nothing away from Sol Ruka, but that was the turning point in the matchup.

14:23And then, with best interest at heart, Zarya, the partner, the friend,

14:28threw in the towel.

14:31Sol Ruka never tapped out.

14:35But Blake Monroe is still our women's North American champion.
