00:00:00Now.
00:00:15Forever.
00:00:23Together.
00:00:25I feel like I cannot lose.
00:00:29Fatal influence can all be dipped in gold by the end of tonight.
00:00:34After the last week, J.C. Jane became the new women's champion.
00:00:37They have two more championship opportunities here in New York.
00:00:43As Trick Williams is looking to get some payback on his opponent that dropped him last week during Gold Rush Week 1.
00:00:51That brings us to his opponent, Miles Bourne.
00:00:54As these two look to settle their differences tonight as we get ready to feel the fallout from last week's Gold Rush.
00:01:04As you can see, the NXT Universe is fired up.
00:01:09Welcome to NXT Gold Rush.
00:01:11I feel like I cannot lose.
00:01:13Hendry, Kale, Paige, Green.
00:01:16The mixed tag team titles from AAA are on the line.
00:01:20Yeah, I got a whole lot to prove.
00:01:22That talking is deep if you don't make no moves.
00:01:25Green, Paige, retain.
00:01:29Leon Slater, Javon Evans.
00:01:31They got their hands on Dark State for the NXT tag team titles.
00:01:35Stop believing in myself, but it's paying off.
00:01:37Wrestling with my demons and my fears ain't strong enough.
00:01:41And Dark State retains.
00:01:45Sol Ruko, Blake Monroe, women's North American title on the line.
00:01:50And look at the knee.
00:01:51The awkwardness of the landing.
00:01:54Where's the towel?
00:01:56Sol said don't do it.
00:01:58Zarya threw in the towel.
00:02:00Sol never tapped out.
00:02:03Ricky, you are the exact same as I left you.
00:02:07The ruler is back.
00:02:09Your daddy is home.
00:02:12Oba, you want a rematch at Deadline?
00:02:15You got it.
00:02:17Chick Williams.
00:02:18Ricky Saints.
00:02:19It ain't over till I win my NXT championship bet.
00:02:24Miles Boyd.
00:02:26You're looking at your next Men's Island Survivor winner.
00:02:29And I'll be seeing one of you at New Year's Evil.
00:02:33J.C. Jane and Tatum Paxley.
00:02:35NXT Women's Championship Online, the main event week one.
00:02:39No!
00:02:40You gotta be kidding me!
00:02:42The referee's distracted, and is he right here?
00:02:44Well, Tatum wants to do this the right way.
00:02:47Oh!
00:02:49What?!
00:02:50J.C. Jane does it again.
00:02:54That two-timing dame just cost her so-called friend.
00:03:00It was Tatum's family that delivered the fatal blow.
00:03:04Tonight, as Deadline approaches, the time to act is now.
00:03:09Who will see the select for Deadline?
00:03:12We're gonna find out at Gold Rush.
00:03:16Tonight, more golden opportunities awaited in the theater at Madison Square Garden.
00:03:23The rise to fame and fortune continues at Gold Rush.
00:03:27It's the city that never sleeps, the Big Apple.
00:03:36We're in New York City, and NXT is back inside the theater at Madison Square Garden.
00:03:44I think when my destiny's long overdue.
00:03:47It's long overdue.
00:03:50And welcome to NXT Gold Rush.
00:04:00NXT Universe fired up for week number two of Gold Rush.
00:04:05Kailleurs!
00:04:06The fearful fighter prestes in the Plaza are over the next one!
00:04:12It's over by ligaments, you happen to theblood.
00:04:16It's for the WWE- ladies and the waist.
00:04:23We just want to teach you what you can.
00:04:28He's for the WWE Evolve Championship!
00:04:37Introducing first from Augusta, Georgia, weighing in at 210 pounds,
00:04:42Shawn Legacy!
00:04:47Major opportunity for this superstar, his opponent, and the brand of all.
00:04:52As Legacy right now, looking to start building his own by finally capturing the Evolve Championship.
00:05:03We want to welcome you to ringside because, look, we got a guest from Hot 97, from ESPN,
00:05:09and the voice of Evolve, Peter Rosenberg.
00:05:13Guys, it is an honor to be here. It is a big deal.
00:05:16Well, thank you.
00:05:17It is a big deal for everyone who works on Evolve to be a part of Gold Rush.
00:05:21What's it supposed to like to be here?
00:05:22What don't you do, by the way? What do you not do?
00:05:24Except introduce me to Pete Davidson.
00:05:27Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It was just an awkward moment.
00:05:29You wouldn't introduce him to a big A-list star, would you?
00:05:32So with the haircut.
00:05:34What's wrong with the haircut?
00:05:35It sucks. Big time.
00:05:39I didn't mention the haircut.
00:05:40And here's the opponent.
00:05:49From the 70s of that E-project weekend, 188 pounds, he is the WWE People Champion, Jackson 3!
00:06:03Well, Peter, this is the opportunity to talk about all three of these individuals.
00:06:08Obviously, there's the champion, Jackson Drake, and he is being joined by Rob Stone's buddies, Swipe Right.
00:06:16Well, Rob dreams of that because he's a weird old boomer who wants to hang out with college kids.
00:06:20But, yes, that's Swipe Right and Jackson Drake, and they formed the Vanity Project.
00:06:24And, frankly, love them or hate them have been running roughshod, over-evolved since we started this thing.
00:06:31Ricky Brad on the outside is cheerleaders here tonight.
00:06:35There you see the NXT universe is what they think about these two individuals.
00:06:39Well, Booker, what are you expecting out of these two on this stage?
00:06:43I mean, this is New York City.
00:06:45Big stage here.
00:06:46The God Man.
00:06:47I'm going to tell you right now, John Legacy, I got a chance to see this kid at Reality Wrestling.
00:06:51He's very talented with this Jackson Drake.
00:06:53This kid is very, very confident, man.
00:06:56This is going to be good.
00:06:59NXT universe, again, fired up right from the get-go.
00:07:02I'm fired up.
00:07:02Because they know they're getting to see the future, the future being now.
00:07:06And, Peter, what does this mean for Evolve to be represented here at Gold Rush?
00:07:11It's a huge deal, man, for Legacy and Drake, who have been the faces of this show since we started it, man.
00:07:19And they work so hard.
00:07:23And these guys have been the faces.
00:07:24Faces of the ID program where so many young wrestlers are getting the opportunity to showcase their skills.
00:07:29And none have done it better than Legacy and Drake.
00:07:31So it's a huge night for them.
00:07:32We're talking about week two here at Gold Rush, the Evolve Women's Championship,
00:07:36to also be defended here tonight by Kendall Gray.
00:07:39Booker, I've got to get your insight on the WBID program.
00:07:43You talked about Reality Wrestling.
00:07:45I mean, you've got a lot of young talent to get a chance to springboard, perhaps, perhaps to that next level.
00:07:51Like one of my guys, Eli Knight, just got ID'd.
00:07:54I'm going to tell you right now, guys, get ready for a treat with Eli Knight.
00:07:58I've been enjoying Eli Knight already, but you are not lying.
00:08:01Sean, Legacy firing up.
00:08:02Oh, yeah.
00:08:03Everyone here in New York.
00:08:04And look, Legacy has competed in the Men's Speed Tournament.
00:08:07He was close to winning the North American Championship.
00:08:10With athleticism like that, Moonsault, cover, and a kickout.
00:08:13Almost crowning a new Evolve Champion.
00:08:15There you see the rest of the swipe right on the outside, the vanity project.
00:08:18That's what you're going to have to watch for all night.
00:08:21Because at some point, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes are going to find a way to inject themselves into this match.
00:08:27You know what?
00:08:28I like that name, Ricky Smokes.
00:08:30Ricky Smokes.
00:08:31Oh, yes, man.
00:08:32I like that.
00:08:33I think you understand the origin story.
00:08:35Well, he might find himself into Booker's favorite five.
00:08:38That's what it's called, right?
00:08:39Fave.
00:08:39Fave five.
00:08:40Fave five.
00:08:41I didn't hip it up enough for you.
00:08:42His legacy right now in control.
00:08:44And Legacy Drake were two of the four to compete to crown the Evolve Champion several months ago.
00:08:49Yeah, exactly.
00:08:50And Jackson Drake actually scored that pin on Legacy.
00:08:54And Legacy's been chasing Jackson Drake ever since.
00:08:57And Drake has just had his number repeatedly.
00:08:59And that's a great point, you bring.
00:09:00Because, Peter, if Legacy were to lose, in your opinion,
00:09:03does he go back to the end of the line?
00:09:06Listen, I don't know if you go back to the end of the line,
00:09:08because Legacy has had impressive wins consistently along the way.
00:09:12But at the same time, come on, rep.
00:09:15And again, there it is.
00:09:16Look, if Unpromote Jackson Drake,
00:09:18Shawn Legacy, if he lose this match,
00:09:20he damn well will go back to the end of the line.
00:09:24And this reason I say that, this kid is good.
00:09:26He can be a champion in a heartbeat, trust me.
00:09:29Oh, turning things around.
00:09:30I say that to Gary Wilson.
00:09:31Gary Wilson's gonna have his hands full in this match.
00:09:32Another cover, hook to the leg, and another near fall,
00:09:35because the two men on the outside have stuck their nose
00:09:38where it has them along on several occasions on a ball.
00:09:40Well, this is the thing you have to understand.
00:09:42Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.
00:09:44Smokes is an idiot.
00:09:45Let me just start there.
00:09:46He does like a fake Tony Yayo dance.
00:09:49As you see the athleticism from Shawn Legacy.
00:09:51That's why they call him Superbook.
00:09:53Just knocked that one out of the park.
00:09:55But that's what Baylor and Smokes are.
00:09:57There are a couple of novels.
00:09:59Oh, baby.
00:10:00There you go.
00:10:01And one more time.
00:10:02This time, Shawn Legacy taking care of business.
00:10:05The door almost opened.
00:10:06But Legacy able to stay in front, up, over.
00:10:09Look at the athleticism.
00:10:10Look at the counter with a suplex into the corner.
00:10:12Wow.
00:10:13Drake turning things around.
00:10:15Who's walking out with the Evolve Men's Championship?
00:10:18Back on NXT Gold Rush from the theater in Madison Square Garden.
00:10:25This for the Evolve Championship.
00:10:28And it's week two of Gold Rush.
00:10:29It's going to be a big night still to come.
00:10:31John Cena to decide who is in, who is out of deadline.
00:10:34But what a kick from Jackson Drake into the cover to retain his title and a kick out.
00:10:40Peter, you can be honest with us.
00:10:42All right.
00:10:42Does Rob Stone actually get invited to these swipe right parties, so to speak?
00:10:47It's bang.
00:10:48Big kick from the champion, dropping the challenge.
00:10:51Let me put it this way.
00:10:52A few weeks ago, I heard Robert Stone at the PC hanging out with Brad Bale and Ricky Smokes,
00:10:57begging them to explain what 6'7 meant.
00:11:00No, he's not getting invited to anything.
00:11:02Rob Stone very busy, it seems, over at TNA with what we saw last week as Drake charging in.
00:11:09Got caught by Legacy.
00:11:11And Legacy...
00:11:11Answering right back, big knee strike, followed up with a kick, combination off.
00:11:21Does it connect with a drop kick?
00:11:22Wow.
00:11:23Right to the ribs.
00:11:23Gotta give it to these young guys going out there living on.
00:11:26There you go.
00:11:27In the middle of that ring, beautiful suplex there by...
00:11:31Nice German suplex by Legacy, and Legacy right now out to go in.
00:11:35Big kick connecting.
00:11:37This is some of that innovation that Evolve is always being known for, and Peter has this
00:11:40match-up thus far lived up to your expectations as Drake just able to get out of the ring.
00:11:46So far, this has had everything that these guys bring to the ring every single time, and
00:11:52you know, Sean Legacy at some point is going to look for shambles as you see him fly.
00:11:57Well, he just left the Vanity Project in shambles.
00:12:00Iris Maneuver just paid off.
00:12:03Get he capitalized.
00:12:05And Legacy winning over those here in New York City.
00:12:10One more time.
00:12:11Oh, baby.
00:12:12Oh, yes.
00:12:13Over, and the second time, the charm.
00:12:15Sit down, title on the line, center of the ring.
00:12:18Oh, near fall.
00:12:20And look, gotta wonder what Ethan Page is thinking right now.
00:12:23Who we saw was victorious last week.
00:12:25He has liked what he has seen in the champion.
00:12:28That being Jackson Drake.
00:12:29But Booker, you gotta like what you're seeing in the challenger, Sean Legacy.
00:12:32I like both of these guys, but I agree.
00:12:34I mean, this Jackson Drake, you can...
00:12:36Oh, baby!
00:12:37Oh, you see that?
00:12:37Reversal!
00:12:38You can see that?
00:12:38Reversal!
00:12:38You see that?
00:12:39Reversal!
00:12:39Exactly what I'm doing.
00:12:40I see the youth in this kid, but he is so advanced in his knowledge of this game.
00:12:45His IQ is definitely on another level.
00:12:48Oh, yes, baby!
00:12:50For that innovative offense.
00:12:52One, two, one!
00:12:53I can't believe that he kicked out.
00:12:54I mean, this is what you're seeing every Wednesday, Peter, on Evolve.
00:13:00Innovative offense like this.
00:13:02Jackson Drake is such a freakish athlete, man.
00:13:05And by the way, don't let the baby face fool you.
00:13:07He's a kid, but he's been doing this.
00:13:09Man!
00:13:09Debut in 2017.
00:13:12Goes way back with Javon Evans to North Carolina.
00:13:14This guy's worked for a long time and has an incredible, incredible ability in the ring.
00:13:18Lots of different, interesting, innovative moves.
00:13:20We've seen the impact that Javon Evans has made in the WWE over the last few weeks here
00:13:24in New York City.
00:13:25But Sean Legacy got his hands on the champion.
00:13:29Wait a minute.
00:13:30Both superstars balancing.
00:13:33Champion trying to break away!
00:13:36I think that was like a backflip.
00:13:38He's all power-
00:13:38He got it.
00:13:39For the title and another near fall.
00:13:40What the hell?
00:13:41What the hell?
00:13:43My guys are tearing the house down.
00:13:46Smokes Baylor out of their minds on the outside.
00:13:59Look at this history for these guys right here competing here in Madison Square Garden.
00:14:04I tell you, I know the butterflies are all over the place, but these guys are definitely
00:14:07getting those butterflies to line them and fly straight, because this is some hell of a
00:14:10competition that we're checking out here tonight.
00:14:13Another thing, too, I mean, Peter, think about it.
00:14:15These two are setting the tone for week two here at Gold Rush.
00:14:18Absolutely.
00:14:18And you think about the incredible stars we have on the show tonight.
00:14:21For them to get to be the ones through the curtain first to set this thing off.
00:14:25Is this going to be shambles for Legacy?
00:14:27Looking to win that championship counter, though, by the champion.
00:14:30Again, these two know each other so very well.
00:14:34Drake hoisting up with a double gut buster.
00:14:36Got all of it.
00:14:38He got more than that.
00:14:39Legacy's hurt.
00:14:41Drake now just draping the challenger over the top rope.
00:14:48And with pinpoint precision right across the back of the neck.
00:14:53And charging right back in.
00:14:55He's out.
00:14:56That's the unaliving, baby.
00:14:57That's hard to get off.
00:14:58He's out.
00:14:59Into the cover.
00:14:59He's out.
00:15:00And Drake continues to build his legacy.
00:15:04Wow.
00:15:05Here is your winner.
00:15:07And still, the WWE EVO champion, Jackson Drake.
00:15:16Peter, we can't take anything away from either of these two competitors truly showcasing what the future is about here in the WWE.
00:15:24It's a great point.
00:15:26It's a tough night for Legacy you see laid out there.
00:15:29He just can't seem to catch up with Jackson Drake in the big moments.
00:15:33And once Jackson Drake is able to hit the unaliving, it's just too hard to get up from.
00:15:39A big victory, a big moment for Jackson Drake and Evolve.
00:15:59You're looking down.
00:16:00You need this?
00:16:01Look, I understand the truth hurts sometimes, but you do realize you would be North American champion if you stopped worrying about your friend, Zarya, right?
00:16:12Look, it's complicated, okay?
00:16:13I don't really think it's complicated.
00:16:15There's nothing complicated about the fact that you are legitimately a world champion caliber talent.
00:16:21You should be playing second to nobody.
00:16:24And yet here you are, sitting here, stressed, probably contemplating whether you should even go out for Zarya's match tonight.
00:16:31Well, here's my advice to you.
00:16:33Don't.
00:16:34Only focus on one person.
00:16:36Soruka.
00:16:37So, you better not be buying what this guy's sell.
00:16:42Okay, Miles.
00:16:43This is very typical of you.
00:16:45Always sticking your nose in everyone else's business.
00:16:47And yet tonight you have such big business.
00:16:51Biggest match in my career.
00:16:52But I'm locked in.
00:16:54Oh, are you?
00:16:55Hmm.
00:16:56I know Trick.
00:16:57I know Trick very, very well.
00:17:00And that is a man who does things the right way.
00:17:02Only focuses on one person.
00:17:04Himself.
00:17:05And yet here you are.
00:17:07Focusing on everybody else.
00:17:08And that just means I'll never have to focus on you.
00:17:18Miles Trick Williams still to come in our main event.
00:17:22Can Fallon Henley bring more gold to Fatal Influence?
00:17:45Who's leaving New York City with the Women's Speed Championship?
00:17:57To me, success is simply just fulfillment that you did the best with life.
00:18:11And however, that's going to be different for anyone.
00:18:14I know what my lane is.
00:18:17I use the term earn the sunset a lot.
00:18:20So, I think me trying to earn the sunset, there's a whole lot of D minus days.
00:18:26There's some D plus days.
00:18:28There's some C minus days.
00:18:29There's a lot of B days.
00:18:30There's very, very few A plus days.
00:18:32But when you get an A plus, it means something.
00:18:35And it sets a standard.
00:18:36So, I think success to me is just being gracious enough to grade yourself.
00:18:42Where a failure is a 59 and down.
00:18:45Tom Rinaldi's full interview with John Cena will be available soon on WWE's YouTube.
00:18:52The week of John's final match at Saturday night's main event in Washington, D.C.
00:18:56on December 13th.
00:19:28And her opponent from Adelaide, Saria.
00:19:36Well, we heard from Sol Ruka earlier, and as you can see through the smoke,
00:19:42she is not with Saria for this championship opportunity.
00:19:48Reminder of five-minute time limit.
00:20:00And Jasper Troy just won the Men's Speed Championship a few weeks ago.
00:20:05We will crown a new Women's Speed Champion here in New York City.
00:20:10You talking about my guy, Jasper Troy?
00:20:13And indeed is your guy who is now the Men's Speed Champion.
00:20:26I trained him.
00:20:27I trained him.
00:20:28If I had a dollar.
00:20:29I trained him to be a monster man.
00:20:32Take no prison.
00:20:33Step on some toes.
00:20:35And keep on walking, Jack.
00:20:38I gotta, you know, before this starts, and again,
00:20:41Zarya looking over, there is no Sol Ruka.
00:20:43Did Zarya do the right thing last week?
00:20:45She just showed how much she truly cares for her friend, for her partner, Sol Ruka,
00:20:50when she threw in that towel.
00:20:51You know, you've heard the old saying, right?
00:20:53Death before dishonor.
00:20:54You wanna go out on your own shield when you're a fighter.
00:20:57I don't believe in that throwing in the towel.
00:20:59Did Zarya do the right thing?
00:21:01That's the question.
00:21:02Well, that's what I asked you, and we're 20 seconds into this matchup.
00:21:04Zarya is alone.
00:21:05That has to mess with her mind.
00:21:07When you think about Stevie Ray, when he wasn't in your corner early on in your career,
00:21:11did it not, oh, I don't have that there.
00:21:12There is no safety net.
00:21:13There is no safety valve.
00:21:14That's a security blanket.
00:21:16That's a better way of putting it, yes.
00:21:17Yeah, I understand that.
00:21:19I mean, Sol Ruka not being out here could be-
00:21:22Shoulders down, cover!
00:21:24But Zarya is trying to cap our first title here at NXT, all right?
00:21:29That's big.
00:21:30That's a big move right there.
00:21:31It is a numbers advantage in favor of Fatal Influences.
00:21:34We're just about 60 seconds off the clock here.
00:21:36What are you talking about?
00:21:37What are you talking about?
00:21:38There's no number game here, I mean.
00:21:39There's two women on the outside with Valor.
00:21:41Zarya is doing her work.
00:21:43Right now, we got a hell of a match going on.
00:21:45What are you talking about?
00:21:46I'm talking about there's a numbers advantage of Fatal Influence as we saw.
00:21:48Last week, and up, over, count, cover, kick out.
00:21:52As we saw when JC Jane recaptured the NXT Women's Championship.
00:21:57Allen getting the shoulders down, crucifix style.
00:22:00And an ear fall.
00:22:01Fatal Influence has to be riding high after last week.
00:22:04And let's call it what it is.
00:22:05They could have all three championships by the end of tonight.
00:22:09Sitting down though is Zarya.
00:22:10Into the cover, another ear fall.
00:22:12Can I make a prediction?
00:22:13Can I make a prediction?
00:22:14Is it the same one you made last week?
00:22:16I feel like it's gonna happen.
00:22:17I feel like Baylor, Influence gonna walk away.
00:22:19Shoulders down one more time.
00:22:20We're on the go, baby.
00:22:21Under three and a half minutes in this matchup.
00:22:23And we're talking about all three titles.
00:22:25It's Fallon looking to capture the women's speed title.
00:22:28It's Reed who's on the outside.
00:22:30It's Kendall Gray for the Evolve Women's Championship.
00:22:33Here tonight, there's almost two minutes off the clock in this speed championship matchup.
00:22:38Now look outside and see JC Jane book.
00:22:40I don't mean to take away from this match with three minutes left.
00:22:43I still just can't believe Izzy Dane's selfish actions from last week
00:22:48is floating into the cover in a near fall.
00:22:50The frustration just boils over, man.
00:22:52I mean, sometimes it's the old saying,
00:22:55that's all I can stand.
00:22:57I can't stand no more.
00:22:59You've heard that before, right?
00:23:01Heard you say it at any time or two.
00:23:02And Zarya right now could be looking for some sort of submission.
00:23:05That was just a right to the face.
00:23:08And now, I don't know if she's trying to lock in like a Texas Cloverleaf here
00:23:13to try to step through, step over and turn.
00:23:15And yes, it is a Texas Cloverleaf here in New York City with two minutes, 20 seconds.
00:23:23It's Fallon Henley, you can hear her screaming.
00:23:25So close right now.
00:23:26Can she hang out, Booker?
00:23:27There's still two minutes, 15 seconds and counting.
00:23:30I tell you what, you don't see Fallon Henley.
00:23:33You don't see Fallon Henley about to tap.
00:23:36You don't see JCJ throwing in a towel or anything.
00:23:39You don't see Lady Reed doing anything, because that's a partnership.
00:23:43That's a hell of a team right there.
00:23:45Yeah, I see what you're doing, Booker, is we're under two minutes left in this
00:23:48matchup.
00:23:49And you gotta wonder if there's added pressure too on Zarya's shoulders.
00:23:52So hard to relinquish this title weeks ago.
00:23:55Zarya vowed to win it back, but just went face first.
00:23:58Fallon though on almost one good leg, just walked into a big right foot.
00:24:02I can tell you right now, it's a lot of pressure.
00:24:04And the thing is, who do you think Zarya is fighting for right now?
00:24:07You think she's fighting for Soul Winkle?
00:24:09Do you really think that?
00:24:10I don't know.
00:24:11Do you really think that?
00:24:12I don't know.
00:24:13Let me tell you something.
00:24:14Zarya wanna be in the same place Soul Winkle wanted to be in.
00:24:16All right?
00:24:17And that's at the top of the food chain.
00:24:19Come on, man.
00:24:20I don't doubt what you're saying, Booker, is we got a minute 20 left.
00:24:23And that could be the knockout blow.
00:24:25Oh, Fallon so wise to roll to the outside.
00:24:28A little bit of space right there.
00:24:29I like the action right there by Fallon Henley.
00:24:31Oh, Zarya rolling out here too.
00:24:3370 seconds left in this matchup.
00:24:35The Women's Speed Championship on the line.
00:24:37Fallon Henley is such a decorated competitor.
00:24:39Zarya, who is yet to win a championship.
00:24:43And we're now under 60 seconds here in the theater at Madison Square Garden.
00:24:49And this is where we're talking about the numbers advantage.
00:24:52Providing this distraction.
00:24:54Fallon Henley, two feet to the face.
00:24:58You see that?
00:24:59That's teamwork.
00:25:00Teamwork.
00:25:01Teamwork.
00:25:02No, it's cutting corners.
00:25:0340 seconds.
00:25:04Zarya lost focus right there, Vic.
00:25:06She lost focus.
00:25:0735 seconds.
00:25:08Fallon off the top.
00:25:10High cross body.
00:25:11Oh, rolling through.
00:25:12We're under 30 seconds now.
00:25:14Zarya looking around.
00:25:16Trying to overpower.
00:25:18Hoist up.
00:25:19Muscle up.
00:25:20Wow.
00:25:21Fallon Henley.
00:25:2220 seconds.
00:25:2320 seconds book.
00:25:24DDT from Fallon.
00:25:26We got a new champ.
00:25:27We got a new champ.
00:25:29Oh, 13 seconds and counting.
00:25:31We're inside the final 10 seconds.
00:25:33Five, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two.
00:25:39Trying to get it.
00:25:40Trying to get it.
00:25:41Trying to hoist her up.
00:25:42Hit.
00:25:43What's the decision here, Book?
00:25:54I'm looking over it.
00:25:55Look at this.
00:25:56Mike Roman.
00:25:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:25:59This is not how this is gonna end.
00:26:04We are in New York City and there needs to be a new women's speed champion.
00:26:12However, since the title is vacant, this match now moves to sudden death.
00:26:19First pinfall, winner takes all.
00:26:23Referee, ring the bell.
00:26:25Well, that's a hell of a decision from our general manager.
00:26:28He was doing a hell of a job, man.
00:26:31The time limit has expired.
00:26:33These two are continuing.
00:26:34You heard what she said for the women's speed championship between Zarya and Fallon.
00:26:40With that power on display, this is sudden death.
00:26:43Fallon running right through, right to the outside, crash and burn.
00:26:46We are in sudden death.
00:26:48Who's gonna walk out with the championship?
00:26:55Booker, we're in sudden death for the women's speed championship.
00:27:01The five minute time limit has come and is gone.
00:27:03Our general manager making this decision.
00:27:06We're in New York City.
00:27:07We are going to crown a champion.
00:27:10And it could be right here, right now for Fallon and a kick out by Zarya.
00:27:15And again, Zarya fighting with so much internal pressure.
00:27:18Wanting to do this for Sol Ruka.
00:27:20Yes, we heard what Sol had to say earlier.
00:27:22She is not out here.
00:27:24She's obviously frustrated because one week ago it was Zarya, who threw in the title,
00:27:28costing her friend one more time.
00:27:30But Zarya said she did it in the best interest for her partner.
00:27:34In the best interest for her best friend.
00:27:36But that brings us to right here, right now, fighting for a little bit more than just
00:27:40herself as Zarya taken down, looking for the rings of Saturn.
00:27:44No wasted motion by Fallon Henley here, man.
00:27:47So efficient.
00:27:48And a movement and a game plan here tonight.
00:27:51Looking to walk away the new speed champion.
00:27:54Overpowered.
00:27:55Overpowered.
00:27:56Wait a minute.
00:27:57Crucifix.
00:27:58Another kick out against Sudden Death.
00:28:00First pinfall.
00:28:01First.
00:28:02Big right hand.
00:28:03Looking for the first knockout as well.
00:28:05As Fallon right to the throat.
00:28:07Yes!
00:28:08Let's go!
00:28:09Fatal Influence.
00:28:10Big two weeks.
00:28:11First it was J.C.
00:28:12Jane last week.
00:28:13It could be Fallon Henley.
00:28:14Laney Reed here tonight.
00:28:16But things not looking great for Fallon, who just got tossed.
00:28:22Fallon, who just got dropped.
00:28:24Oh, with Zarya right now.
00:28:26Here we go.
00:28:27Big pumpkin.
00:28:28Zarya right now is rocking.
00:28:30She's starting to roll.
00:28:31Able to duck one time.
00:28:32Big headbutt.
00:28:33But held onto the wrist.
00:28:35Hoisting up this overhead toss of Fallon Henley.
00:28:39I mean, you got to be impressed with Zarya, are you?
00:28:42Not at this juncture?
00:28:43I've always been impressed with Zarya.
00:28:45The thing is, I wonder how impressed Zarya has been with herself.
00:28:49She should have been in championship pitch.
00:28:51Roll through, count through.
00:28:52Roll through, roll through.
00:28:53Oh, yes.
00:28:54Oh, yes.
00:28:55Big spear.
00:28:57Good night.
00:28:58Oh, Fallon.
00:28:59Back in.
00:29:00To the outside.
00:29:01But how wise is Zarya?
00:29:02Is Zarya quickly going right to the outside?
00:29:03Hey!
00:29:04Lainey Reed just pulled Fallon Henley.
00:29:09It wasn't illegal or anything, was it?
00:29:11This is what I was talking about, that numbers advantage.
00:29:13It's Fallon getting back up.
00:29:15Shining Wizard right to the temple of Zarya.
00:29:18And following it right up.
00:29:20Bam!
00:29:21Oh, that's a definitive victory right there for you, baby.
00:29:24Oh, yeah!
00:29:25And it's sudden death.
00:29:27Fallon is a champion once more.
00:29:30I predicted it.
00:29:33Here is your winner, and the new women's speed champion, Fallon Henley!
00:29:47You predicted something of it, boy.
00:29:50Ha, ha, ha!
00:29:51I told you!
00:29:53Because now two-thirds of Fatal Influence have gold.
00:29:58This match went to sudden death there.
00:30:02That's the obvious turning point.
00:30:04Lainey Reed had no business getting involved.
00:30:07It opened the door for Fallon Henley.
00:30:09The first hit that Shining Wizard.
00:30:10Bam!
00:30:11And then drive Zarya into the match.
00:30:15To become the Speed Women's Champion.
00:30:21Could a third title be on the horizon?
00:30:24If so, the women's division is going to have a fatal problem.
00:30:33All right.
00:30:34Shiloh Hill here.
00:30:35And here's the download.
00:30:37So, a little bit about my past.
00:30:39I've been a wrestling fan pretty much my whole life.
00:30:42I remember when I was six years old, my dad used to pretend to be the Undertaker.
00:30:45I would be Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:30:47One time, I jumped off the couch to try to lose hands, press him, and I punched him so hard in the face, I broke his nose.
00:30:52I think about that story all the time because my dad actually passed away right before my senior year at Stanford.
00:30:58And he had given me this WrestleMania shirt.
00:31:01And it was my favorite shirt.
00:31:03It reminded me of him.
00:31:04And so, I wore it to the stadium for every game that year.
00:31:07And that was actually one of the things that got me noticed by WWE.
00:31:10I feel like my dad kind of lives on through me because he taught me that it's okay to try new things.
00:31:17Because of him, I've worked every job from being a logger to doing construction to working in a slaughterhouse.
00:31:24That was fun.
00:31:25I worked in a hotel.
00:31:26Can I help you with your luggage, sir?
00:31:29I mean, I've worked as a software developer.
00:31:31I've worked in government.
00:31:32Oh, yeah, my tooth.
00:31:33So, my tooth actually got knocked out in training right when I started with WWE.
00:31:37And I remember when it happened, all the medical staff ran over and they were like, Shiloh, are you okay?
00:31:41Does it hurt?
00:31:42And I was just like, bro, let me look in a mirror right now.
00:31:45And as soon as I saw it, I could not stop smiling.
00:31:48I feel like it just adds so much.
00:31:50I remember my mom called me and she was like, Shiloh, you have to get your tooth fixed.
00:31:53You look hideous.
00:31:54And I was like, Mom, do you see how tough I look right now?
00:31:57It reminds me of my friends in the woods.
00:32:00Oh.
00:32:02My bolt cutters.
00:32:04I forgot those.
00:32:05I gotta go.
00:32:06I'll see you soon.
00:32:13Who will the Intercontinental Champion John Cena select?
00:32:16We all find out next.
00:32:18As my in-ring career in WWE winds down, I've remained steadfast to my goal to lead this business better than I found it.
00:32:32The future of WWE is what NXT is all about.
00:32:35That's why I asked Ava, the NXT General Manager, for the privilege of selecting the participants of this year's Iron Survivor Challenge.
00:32:45This unique match has the ability to launch a superstar's career to that next level.
00:32:49And when you talk about the future of this business, no two names come to mind faster than Javon Evans and Leon Slater from TNA.
00:32:56Everybody here at NXT knows that when the young is in charge and the young OG is in the same ring, we make some magic.
00:33:03A pair of 21-year-olds who are way ahead of their time.
00:33:07Fun to watch.
00:33:08And look to big things on road ahead.
00:33:10The X-Vision champion Leon Slater.
00:33:12The young OG Javon Evans showing us just how bright the future truly is.
00:33:19The next spot goes to a man who is the definition of a self-made superstar.
00:33:24It's Joe Hendrick.
00:33:25No!
00:33:26I believe in Joe Hendrick.
00:33:29Joe Hendrick!
00:33:32And right on.
00:33:34He built his name from the ground up and made himself impossible to ignore.
00:33:38Say my name.
00:33:39Believe me.
00:33:40I will appear.
00:33:44I believe in Joe Hendrick.
00:33:49The next selection was a college football captain at Oregon State University who has now embraced his transition to the WWE and has become a dominant force.
00:33:56That's Deion Lennox right there.
00:33:58He's got a lot of adrenaline flowing through his body and he would want to put this whole dark state thing together.
00:34:03Deion Lennox has earned an opportunity to show what he's got.
00:34:07Staring a lion in the face.
00:34:08Knowing that your next move is going to be your last.
00:34:10Because he can tear you apart a thousand different ways.
00:34:12And I ain't talking about just physically.
00:34:14I'm saying mentally too.
00:34:16And the last spot will be given to the winner of tonight's main event.
00:34:22Miles Moore and Tripp Williams are both deserving in their own right.
00:34:25They'll battle it out for a chance to earn an incredible opportunity that makes tonight's main event one you can't miss.
00:34:33My time is up.
00:34:35Gentlemen, your time is now.
00:34:38Good luck.
00:34:39It's the final premium live event of the year in San Antonio.
00:34:43There is the field.
00:34:44But who earns the last spot?
00:34:46Will it be Tripp Williams or Miles Moore?
00:34:49We'll find out in our main event tonight.
00:34:52The following contest scheduled for one fall is a triple threat match for the TNA Knockout World Champs.
00:35:05Introducing first from Austin, Texas, Jordan Grace.
00:35:30Well, you know, look, she would love to be selected by John Cena for a deadline.
00:35:37That decision still to come.
00:35:38We just saw the decision for the men.
00:35:41And how about that main event still to come?
00:35:44Tripp Williams, Miles Moore, who gets in?
00:35:48Next, from Chongqing China, Lee Ying Lee.
00:36:09Lee Ying Lee looking to bring the TNA Knockouts title home.
00:36:17Who will walk out with the gold tonight?
00:36:24Time for tonight's NXT focus.
00:36:30Oh, Tatum.
00:36:36Don't act like you didn't hear my warnings loud and clear.
00:36:43I told you not every voice in your head is worth listening to, but yet you still followed them.
00:36:49And ultimately, it led straight to your downfall.
00:36:52What the hell is he?
00:36:54And I'm sure you're gonna sit here and cry about it like you always do.
00:36:58It was Tatum's family that delivered the fatal blow for Jane to reign again.
00:37:04But don't worry.
00:37:05I'll explain everything next week.
00:37:07And remember, Tatum, it is what it is.
00:37:11I don't know how Izzy sleeps at night.
00:37:24Absolute betrayal last week.
00:37:27And their opponent from Portland Beach, Florida, she is the TNA Knockouts World Champion Kalani Jordan.
00:37:46Has a different attitude about her, doesn't she, Book?
00:37:49Ain't got time for the fans.
00:37:51It's about business.
00:37:52Look, you're not too far gone to know it's about business, Victor.
00:37:57Come on.
00:37:58It's not.
00:37:59It's about checks.
00:38:00Championship.
00:38:01It's about championship.
00:38:02Legacy.
00:38:03History.
00:38:04Hall of Fame.
00:38:05I want to give you a little more to your shtick because we got a special guest here in attendance with us tonight.
00:38:09It is TNA President Carlos Silva.
00:38:12And when we talk about championship, he would love to have this specific title back on his brand in TNA.
00:38:18That's Tommy Dreamer.
00:38:20Along with Tommy Dreamer, that was good eyes on you.
00:38:25TNA in full effect, in full force.
00:38:29Here tonight, there's support behind Leigh Yingling.
00:38:32And you know what?
00:38:33Should they have support for Kalani Jordan?
00:38:35Kalani Jordan stood up for TNA against her peers here in NXT.
00:38:39Did she not at showdown?
00:38:40They kicked her out of the locker room for a reason, man.
00:38:43They don't need anybody trying to gather any foreign intel and take it back to the opposite.
00:38:48No, it's not about that, man.
00:38:49Well, this is a triple threat rules as Kalani heading for the hills quickly.
00:38:52What's no part of Jordan?
00:38:53Grace Lee from behind.
00:38:55Jordan saved the match for second again, right on top of it.
00:38:59There is no love loss between Grace and Kalani Jordan.
00:39:03But how difficult are these sort of matches as the champion?
00:39:06I mean, I was gonna say, Kalani Jordan, she can fight a champion.
00:39:10Matches like this.
00:39:11She don't have to win this match, dude.
00:39:13She just don't have to win this.
00:39:14If you understand what I'm saying.
00:39:16That's the core point that you're making.
00:39:18So I look into this matchup now.
00:39:20I see Jordan Grace standing in the center of the ring.
00:39:22Is she the favorite in this triple threat match?
00:39:25Jordan Grace definitely should be the favorite in a matchup like this being
00:39:29former Knockouts Champion on multiple occasions.
00:39:32Yeah, she should be.
00:39:33But right now, I must give it to Kalani Jordan.
00:39:36She's doing a hell of a job, man.
00:39:38Jordan Grace, a former four-time Knockouts World Champion,
00:39:41was the first Knockout Triple Crown winner.
00:39:43You didn't give the actual number.
00:39:44I wanted to give the official stats.
00:39:46Oh!
00:39:47Blockbuster-type maneuver.
00:39:50That is into the cover.
00:39:52Lei, Ying, Li.
00:39:54And a near-fall Grace able to kick out at the last moment.
00:39:57Again, no champion's advantage in this matchup.
00:40:00And look.
00:40:01Take another look.
00:40:02Bam!
00:40:03A little two-for-one special.
00:40:04How has Li really grown as an in-ring competitor in New York's?
00:40:09You know, that's the thing.
00:40:10I don't know a whole lot about Li, but
00:40:12what I think is she has an opportunity right now.
00:40:15She has a chance to make a case for John Cena to actually make
00:40:18this job a whole lot easier if she's going to hell to come right now.
00:40:22Could find herself into Deadline as we saw earlier with some of the decisions.
00:40:26She's feeling it.
00:40:27That were made it bad.
00:40:28Big knee, and of course, she will have the striking advantage.
00:40:31It was Li who signed a new deal with TNA just over a year ago, and she did it.
00:40:35She vowed to become a champion.
00:40:38She vowed to become a warrior, and she has been impressive on TNA.
00:40:43She's definitely a warrior.
00:40:44She's got that warrior spirit right now.
00:40:46She's letting it all hang out.
00:40:47We're going for something big here.
00:40:49Whoa!
00:40:50No!
00:40:51Well, she just might have been taken out of the equation.
00:40:54That's Kalani Jordan.
00:40:55That's the new attitude.
00:40:57That new foul.
00:40:58Oh, yes.
00:40:59Fearlessness.
00:41:00Oh, yes, man.
00:41:01By the champion.
00:41:02It was Li and Jordan who actually competed for the vacant, vacant knockouts title.
00:41:08And it was Jordan who walked away that night with a victory.
00:41:12And I'm talking about Kalani, not Grace.
00:41:14And that's two knees right into the spine.
00:41:16Jordan Grace charging right back in.
00:41:18I like that.
00:41:19A lot of force and torque behind that uppercut.
00:41:21Grace having to reassess her strategy here at NXT now.
00:41:25Oh!
00:41:26What's been working.
00:41:27Oh, yes!
00:41:28A little Grace under pressure and a kick out.
00:41:30You know, what's been working for her?
00:41:31You know, before it hadn't been working since she's got here to NXT.
00:41:34She needs to change just a little bit.
00:41:37Well, Jordan Grace is trying her best to help Kalani Jordan unless, as we mentioned,
00:41:42it was Kalani giving advice, trying to be friendly.
00:41:45Kalani, though, look at that double stomp to the spine.
00:41:49That's the problem I'm talking about.
00:41:50That need to reassess.
00:41:52Why is she here at NXT?
00:41:53Why is it?
00:41:54Well, that's a question you're going to have to ask her.
00:41:56Maybe we can get Johnny Russo to write you a sit-down interview with her,
00:41:58and you can actually use your journalistic skills to get to the bottom of it then, Book.
00:42:02I know why.
00:42:03Jordan Grace came in to win championships, something that she's done in every organization.
00:42:06That she's winning, but it's been a little harder here at NXT to top.
00:42:10The competition is stiff, man.
00:42:13Well, Jordan Grace gets caught for a moment, and a bam!
00:42:17Big DDT into the cover to retain in a near fall.
00:42:22We should point out that when it comes to Kalani Jordan, she did just successfully
00:42:26defend her championship at TNA's turning point.
00:42:30So she has been a fighting champion on both brands.
00:42:33We saw it get to Trick Williams.
00:42:35Will it get to Kalani Jordan?
00:42:37Yeah, that's the thing.
00:42:38She always...
00:42:39Oh!
00:42:40Nasty!
00:42:41And she's done that.
00:42:42That makes her a true world champion right there, Vic.
00:42:46And you can tell.
00:42:47Just look at the body language.
00:42:49Look at the confidence.
00:42:50Look at the million dollar smile, man.
00:42:53Hit Kalani now.
00:42:55Looking for that move.
00:42:56Salt!
00:42:57Taking out the competition.
00:42:59It's the champion standing tall, but will be the champion walking out with the gold.
00:43:05Let's go, Lonnie!
00:43:09TNA Knockouts Championship is on the line.
00:43:11Triple threat match.
00:43:12Kalani Jordan, the champion, with a frog splash into the cover, and whoa!
00:43:18In the nick of time, man.
00:43:20I mean, barely.
00:43:23And for Kalani Jordan, there is no champion's advantage in this matchup.
00:43:27She does not need to be factored in the decision to lose the title.
00:43:31Check out the frog splash.
00:43:32Bam!
00:43:33Check out the impact as well.
00:43:35All three of these women have been bringing the best out of the other, all for the right.
00:43:41All for the privilege to be the TNA Knockouts Champion.
00:43:46And we've talked about it a few times for Kalani Jordan.
00:43:49She was kicked out of the locker room, removed from the locker room for siding with TNA.
00:43:55And it's really backfired a little bit against her, because that's something that Jordan
00:44:00Grace was trying to help her with, trying to mentor her with.
00:44:03But for Kalani Jordan, she's doing it herself.
00:44:06Lei Yingling able to duck for a moment.
00:44:08And right now, we get a few counters between all three of these women.
00:44:11What are you talking about?
00:44:13Oh, wow!
00:44:14Oh, wow!
00:44:15Talking about Kalani Jordan getting kicked out of the locker room.
00:44:17Here we go, wait a minute.
00:44:18Cover to Freeman.
00:44:19Title.
00:44:20Wait a minute.
00:44:21Wait a minute.
00:44:22Wait a minute.
00:44:23Wait a minute.
00:44:24Wait a minute.
00:44:25Wait a minute.
00:44:26Wait a minute.
00:44:27Wait a minute.
00:44:28Wait a minute.
00:44:29One more, one more, one more, one more, one more.
00:44:30Another near fall.
00:44:31Let's just let Kalani Jordan know that she can't trust anybody.
00:44:32Nobody likes her.
00:44:33It's not about friends or anything like that.
00:44:34Pick that shot out right there by Lee.
00:44:35Drop kick, Samoan drop combination.
00:44:36Two for one.
00:44:37And look, let's call it what it is.
00:44:38We saw Carlos Silva who is here.
00:44:40TNA desperately wants the title back in the impact.
00:44:43You know, I wouldn't necessarily see it that way.
00:44:45I mean, I think Carlos Silva like what Kalani Jordan has done with that championship.
00:44:50She's elevated.
00:44:51You gotta give her credit.
00:44:52I think Kalani's done a wonderful job as champion.
00:44:54I think she's also opened a lot of eyes.
00:44:56And I do think to your point sometimes.
00:44:58Whoa!
00:44:59Wow!
00:45:00Wait a minute.
00:45:01That German has the bridge.
00:45:02Another near fall.
00:45:04Jordan Grace so close.
00:45:07So close.
00:45:08Jordan needs to tap into that Juggernaut moniker.
00:45:11Another look.
00:45:14And right there.
00:45:17Oh, Juggernaut get rolling down here, get a lot of steam.
00:45:21It's almost impossible to stop her.
00:45:24I mean, I think she needs that right now.
00:45:26Needs to get back in this thing, Vic.
00:45:28As I mentioned before, looking to become a four-time knockouts world champion.
00:45:34And she could be looking for some high-impact offense.
00:45:38Looking around, Kalani Jordan nowhere to be found.
00:45:41Laying Lee right now in control.
00:45:45And if this turns into a striking contest, I gotta give the TNA knockout the advantage.
00:45:53I gotta give Jordan Grace a whole lot of, a lot of advantages towards the power.
00:45:59But right now, Lee is showing a lot of different styles up on top.
00:46:05Wait a minute.
00:46:06Oh, Kalani.
00:46:07Big time.
00:46:08A little bit of wasteland dropping out.
00:46:10One of her challengers turned around, saw the second one.
00:46:13That being Jordan Grace.
00:46:14Big strike in her own right.
00:46:16Think about Kalani Jordan.
00:46:17She's not running away from the fight here tonight.
00:46:19She's right in the middle of, actually, I think she's driving a whole lot of the fight here tonight, Vic.
00:46:25A lot of animosity, both women up.
00:46:27Whoa!
00:46:28Whoa!
00:46:29Whoa!
00:46:30Will it be enough and again?
00:46:34That was close.
00:46:36That was one hell of an awkward, nasty Spanish fly.
00:46:41But right now, I think Lee was trying to lock in his submission.
00:46:44Wasn't quite able to...
00:46:46Well, maybe she was because Kalani Jordan was...
00:46:48Whoa, there it is!
00:46:49Look at the technique.
00:46:51Look at the technique on Lee right there.
00:46:53Lee digging back.
00:46:56You see the bend of the knee.
00:46:57There's Jordan Grace.
00:46:59Right place.
00:47:00Right time.
00:47:04I think Lee still has Kalani Jordan hooked.
00:47:11I think Jordan was kicking Lee.
00:47:13Wasn't kicking Grace.
00:47:14Wait a minute, Vic.
00:47:15Oh, baby.
00:47:16She's stacked.
00:47:17With that powerbomb.
00:47:18Kalani coming in out of nowhere.
00:47:20Rolling up.
00:47:21Not able to get down.
00:47:22Whoa!
00:47:23Power again!
00:47:24Bam!
00:47:25Is this that moment?
00:47:27No!
00:47:28Whew!
00:47:29Wow!
00:47:30What a matchup.
00:47:31What a triple threat.
00:47:33Take another look.
00:47:34High-impact offense.
00:47:35And again, all three of these women really landed on the line.
00:47:36And Jordan Grace right there was so close to recapturing that championship for a fifth time.
00:47:50So close, but not close enough.
00:47:51Fourth time.
00:47:52Fourth time.
00:47:53My bad.
00:47:54My bad.
00:47:55My bad.
00:47:56My bad.
00:47:57My bad.
00:47:58My bad.
00:47:59My bad.
00:48:00My bad.
00:48:01My bad.
00:48:02I'm sure someone on social media will yell at us.
00:48:03That's for Lei Ying Li looking to wear gold for the first time.
00:48:06Women's wrestling!
00:48:09Women's wrestling!
00:48:11And those here in New York showing their love for all three of these women.
00:48:18And it's the champion.
00:48:19Oh!
00:48:20Oh!
00:48:21That's that newfound attitude in Kalani Jordan.
00:48:24Man!
00:48:25You can say that again.
00:48:26That's that aggressive nature.
00:48:28That nasty style.
00:48:29Another big kick.
00:48:30Uh-oh.
00:48:31Look who's down.
00:48:33Look who could be out.
00:48:36Up top.
00:48:37450.
00:48:38Oh!
00:48:39My God!
00:48:40Didn't connect.
00:48:41Bam!
00:48:42Big roundhouse kick.
00:48:44Lei Ying Li hoisted up Kalani.
00:48:48Jordan Grace back in.
00:48:49And this is what you were talking about.
00:48:50Big back fist.
00:48:51This is the dangers of a triple threat match.
00:48:52Right place at the right time.
00:48:54Oh, baby!
00:48:55Title!
00:48:56Not to be retained quite yet.
00:48:58Yep.
00:48:59Back fist again connects.
00:49:00Grace took out one.
00:49:02Now she's looking to take out two.
00:49:07Oh!
00:49:08This could be it, Vic!
00:49:09This could be it!
00:49:12No!
00:49:13Not to be outdone.
00:49:14But what a kick to the back of Grace!
00:49:16Kalani might be out!
00:49:17She did it!
00:49:18Wow!
00:49:19Wow!
00:49:20Lee brings a knockout title back to TNA!
00:49:24Here is your winner and the new TNA Knockout World Champion, Lei Ying Li!
00:49:42Whether it's been in the single ranks or in tag team matches alongside Zia Brookside, it has been a road, a long road for that woman for this moment with TNA President Carlos Silva here to award Lei Ying Li.
00:50:00What a moment in New York City!
00:50:01What a matchup this was!
00:50:03I mean, for Jordan Grace, thought she had it here, but bam!
00:50:06Presence of mind!
00:50:07What were you saying throughout this match?
00:50:08Right place, right time!
00:50:09Right time!
00:50:10Yes!
00:50:11Yes!
00:50:12And that is where Lei Ying Li was to finally call herself a champion with a warrior spirit!
00:50:14Congratulations to the new TNA!
00:50:15knockout champion!
00:50:16What a matchup this was!
00:50:17What a matchup this was!
00:50:18I mean, for Jordan Grace, thought she had it here, but bam!
00:50:22Presence of mind!
00:50:23What were you saying throughout this match?
00:50:25Right place!
00:50:26Right time!
00:50:27Right time!
00:50:28Yes!
00:50:29And that is where Lei Ying Li was to finally call herself a champion with a warrior spirit!
00:50:40Congratulations to the new TNA knockout champion!
00:50:46Thank you!
00:50:47Congrats, Colin!
00:50:48Thank you!
00:50:49How does it feel to be a champion once again?
00:50:50Pretty damn good!
00:50:51But we aren't done, are we, JC?
00:50:52Nope!
00:50:53Two down, one to go!
00:50:54Lainey, you're up next!
00:50:55This is the moment that you've been waiting for!
00:50:56You go out there and you take the Evolved Rooms Championship from Kendall Gray tonight,
00:51:09and then we walk out of New York City in Gold Rush all as champions!
00:51:14I cannot knock!
00:51:15Oh, hi ladies!
00:51:16Lainey, JC, Fallon, congratulations on becoming champions!
00:51:20Very big win!
00:51:21Thank you!
00:51:22But, you know, you guys interfered in your match last week, and you guys interfered in your
00:51:26match about 20 minutes ago, so tonight, if Lainey wants to be champion, she's gonna have
00:51:31to do it on her own, because you two are a fan homo inside.
00:51:34Uh, come on.
00:51:35Excuse me?
00:51:36Where are you going?
00:51:37That's rude!
00:51:38You've gotta be kidding me!
00:51:39We're a group!
00:51:40That's not how this works!
00:51:41She can't do that!
00:51:44Ricky, it's great sitting down with you.
00:51:46Thank you so much for your time.
00:51:48Now, Oba Femi shocked the NXT Universe with his recent return.
00:51:52What does it mean for Ricky Saints and the NXT Championship?
00:51:55That means all the eyes are on me.
00:51:59The entire world is watching me.
00:52:01Every fan, every critic, every camera, every person out there who is doubting how long is
00:52:06Ricky going to be NXT Champion.
00:52:09That is a lot of pressure that sits right here on this chest, heavier than the title, no less.
00:52:15And that is what I'm having to deal with right now.
00:52:19Last week, I was confident.
00:52:22This week, I'm starting to question that a little bit.
00:52:27But Ricky, you beat Oba Femi at No Mercy.
00:52:31What's the difference with Deadline?
00:52:34You know, it's funny.
00:52:35I replay that moment, me beating Oba in my head constantly, over and over, thinking,
00:52:40was that just a moment that kind of lined up perfectly for me?
00:52:44That, you know, by the luck of the draw type thing?
00:52:48And that right there is hard to deal with in itself.
00:52:54I got a lot of people asking me, oh, how are you going to do it again?
00:52:57How are you going to beat Oba Femi again?
00:52:58I don't know, as if I have the answer in my back pocket.
00:53:01I truly don't know.
00:53:04And that is hard as well, having to give an answer like that.
00:53:09I also start to think about, am I just a deviation in Oba Femi's title reign?
00:53:14Are we just getting back on the highway?
00:53:17Did we just take a little detour and now, hey, we're back, guys?
00:53:20That right there is hard to deal with when that voice sits right here
00:53:25and you have to hear it all the time.
00:53:28I'm doing my best to quiet that down.
00:53:33So what are you saying to yourself walking into Deadline with this kind of doubt?
00:53:40I do wonder if all of the work and the years that I have grinded away,
00:53:46this entire journey that I've been on, if I can't beat Oba Femi,
00:53:51that will be all for naught.
00:53:53That is what plays in my head.
00:53:55But you know what's the other thing that pops up a lot,
00:53:59that kind of has a bigger voice in me?
00:54:01It's pressure.
00:54:03Pressure is my ally.
00:54:05You know what I do with pressure?
00:54:07I take it head on.
00:54:08Yes, it sucks for me, and yes, it doesn't feel good,
00:54:12but it's something that I'm able to use to my benefit
00:54:15if I really think about it.
00:54:18If all of the criticism that I'm receiving,
00:54:21if all of the doubt and naysayers,
00:54:23and everyone who starts to think, hey, Ricky just ain't it,
00:54:27if I don't beat Oba Femi, then who can?
00:54:32Right?
00:54:33But I can.
00:54:35Because I'm not going to let my journey just fall wayside
00:54:38because of this one man that's in my way.
00:54:41The impossible is possible when it comes to absolute Ricky Saints,
00:54:45and I am going to prove that to each and every single voice out there,
00:54:50the ones that are in here, even the ones out there.
00:54:53Why?
00:54:56Because I am Ricky Saint, Sarah, the NXT Champion.
00:55:00Thank you so much.
00:55:02Good luck at Deadline.
00:55:08Well, the NXT Champion is ready.
00:55:10San Antonio, get ready.
00:55:12Saints, Femi, for the NXT Championship at Deadline.
00:55:17And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:55:22She is the EVOLVE Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
00:55:26And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, she is the EVOLVE Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!
00:55:56And the champion, that woman right there, Kendall Gray,
00:56:05has a variety of suplexes in her arsenal
00:56:08as we will see her put the Women's Evolve Championship
00:56:13on the line here tonight
00:56:16against Lainey Reed of Fatal Influence.
00:56:20And we've got to welcome back to the desk,
00:56:21the voice of Evolve, Peter Rosebergen.
00:56:23Are you ready for the women of Evolve to take center stage?
00:56:26I am ready to have Kendall Gray shine
00:56:30in the most famous arena in the world.
00:56:32She's everything that Evolve's all about.
00:56:35We're talking about Lainey Reed here, man.
00:56:37We're talking about the biggest, the largest.
00:56:39Oh, yes, man.
00:56:41Lainey Reed is about to blow up here in Madison Square Garden.
00:56:45The woman is just running around slapping people for no reason.
00:56:50Got a tightness, don't you?
00:56:51Huh? Huh?
00:56:53It is all about the Women's Evolve.
00:56:57You damn right it is, Victor.
00:56:58Championship.
00:57:05Whoa!
00:57:05There you go.
00:57:06I didn't even get in here.
00:57:07There you go.
00:57:07Talk about me, too, because Kendall Gray right off.
00:57:09Rip, and look, you brought it up already.
00:57:10Kendall Gray got slapped right in the face two weeks ago.
00:57:13You know she is not in any mood to take her time, to waste any time.
00:57:17She's taking it to the challenge.
00:57:18Absolutely not, and she is one of the competitors you see.
00:57:20Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:57:21She has levels.
00:57:22She's looking for the arm bar early.
00:57:24Trying to get the submission.
00:57:25Nice counter by Lainey Reed.
00:57:26Beautiful counter there, Mike.
00:57:28But Kendall has different levels booked that she can go to, and I think Lainey has brought
00:57:31something out of her here.
00:57:32I'm not going to take that away from her, but I'm going to tell you right now, Lainey Reed,
00:57:35she's a star, man.
00:57:36Just looking for that moment, and that moment could be tonight.
00:57:40I love it.
00:57:41Well, Peter, I got to ask you this when it comes to Evolve.
00:57:43Who are some of the women that have stand out, stood up, so to speak, that we need to keep
00:57:47our eye on?
00:57:48Well, I mean, obviously, there's a woman right now who's waiting.
00:57:50Should Kendall Gray successfully defend, who will get Kendall Gray on December 3rd?
00:57:54And that's Chantelle Monroe, who's impressed a lot of people.
00:57:57But, of course, our longtime champion, Callie Armstrong, has been incredible as well.
00:58:02There's a ton of talented women on Evolve every Wednesday night.
00:58:06Kendall Gray right now putting on the brakes, going up, going over.
00:58:09And, oh, quick, bad job.
00:58:13I mean, that just raised Booker's eyebrows there for a moment as Gray coming right back
00:58:16in, trying to take down Lainey, but Lainey Reed, who has been in the, under the learning
00:58:21tree, so to speak, of J.C. Jane, just got outsmarted in that moment.
00:58:24Oh, big time shot right there.
00:58:26And this B8 into the cover hook of the leg.
00:58:28And, Peter, what has stood out the most about Kendall Gray?
00:58:31Honestly, it's the attitude and the approach.
00:58:34She's a first person to the gym, last one out.
00:58:37She's at Evolve.
00:58:37She's at every NXT show.
00:58:39Everywhere she can be, she is there.
00:58:41She lives at the PC.
00:58:42She dedicates her time, and you see the results in the ring.
00:58:47Lainey Reed starting to turn things around.
00:58:49And, Booker, let's talk about Fatal Influence, because Fatal Influence can certainly turn this
00:58:53division upside down with a win here.
00:58:55We're talking about the trifecta, man.
00:58:57This is something we've been talking about for a long time.
00:59:00It's for Influence getting back on track.
00:59:03Oh, wait a minute.
00:59:04Oh, nice counter for a moment.
00:59:06Wait a minute.
00:59:06I like this.
00:59:07I like this.
00:59:08Watch out, guys.
00:59:09Watch out.
00:59:12Kendall Gray might have just saw her championship reign flash right before her eyes in that moment.
00:59:17Oh, no.
00:59:19God.
00:59:20Gray just got wiped out.
00:59:22Is Lainey Reed about to crown herself champion?
00:59:25Women's Evolved championship on the line.
00:59:30The challenger has been in control of this matchup, and Booker Reed certainly has made and created moments for herself.
00:59:38And it all started with slapping the champion two weeks ago.
00:59:41You know, it's all about, you know, drawing the champion into those deep waters, man.
00:59:45I think that's what it is more than anything.
00:59:47Lainey Reed is primed for a victory tonight.
00:59:50And I can feel it in my bones, man.
00:59:52I like Holly.
00:59:53Excuse me.
00:59:54You'll be great.
00:59:54But Lainey Reed, she's the future, man.
00:59:58She's who lives.
00:59:59If Lainey Reed were to win this title, Peter, I mean, how would Reed and Fatal Influence be representing them all?
01:00:04Well, you read my mind.
01:00:05Can you imagine on Wednesday nights now Fatal Influence is on Evolve every week?
01:00:09In some ways, it would be the silver lining of Kendall losing this match because it would be something to see.
01:00:14But I don't think Kendall Gray is going out easy tonight.
01:00:16Champion starting to fight back.
01:00:18And high risk, beautiful moonsault wiping out the challenger.
01:00:22And this certainly could be the turning point because we don't only talk about the championship that's on the line.
01:00:27We also talk about a man who is trying to create some decisions as you take a look at this moonsault.
01:00:32Again, perfectly placed.
01:00:34John Cena still to select five women who will compete in the Iron Survivor Challenge.
01:00:39Of course, Cena added the stipulation to our main event tonight.
01:00:42Win, get in.
01:00:43Williams Bourne, who heads to deadline a week from Saturday as Kendall Gray is starting to fight back in these deep waters.
01:00:51Beautiful shot there by Gray.
01:00:53Well, this is when Kendall Gray book steps up.
01:00:55Late in matches is when I start to like Kendall Gray's chances.
01:00:58The longer a match goes, the more you see the heart of Kendall Gray.
01:01:01We got to understand, Peter, when it comes to Booker T.
01:01:04He sees nothing but dollar signs in Laney Reed.
01:01:07But the champion sees it as an obstacle.
01:01:10Well, you see dollars in Kendall Gray, too, don't you?
01:01:12Take nothing away from Kendall Gray, man.
01:01:13Less than two years in, she's champion, man.
01:01:15And you know what I say about a champion.
01:01:16It makes you a whole lot better when you get that title around your waist right now.
01:01:20She's like, we just got caught.
01:01:22Got caught.
01:01:23Oh, yes, man.
01:01:24Well, Wren Sinclair, the look on her face just turned around.
01:01:27We got to be 10.
01:01:27In the cover for the title.
01:01:29Oh, that left.
01:01:30Damn.
01:01:31Just came off the mat.
01:01:35Take another look.
01:01:36Just look at how close, Peter, this was to evolve having a new women's champion.
01:01:41Yeah, maybe as close as it's been for Kendall Gray in her reign so far.
01:01:46Woo.
01:01:46You can see the timing of that from Laney Reed.
01:01:49I mean, is she late?
01:01:50Well, there is Wren Sinclair on the outside.
01:01:52You know that she's been trying to coach up in the Ren QCC.
01:01:56That being Kendall Gray, the champion, to train late.
01:01:59To understand she's going to be in the deep waters as a champion.
01:02:03Is she a trainer or a cheerleader?
01:02:05Why is she out here?
01:02:06Why is she out here?
01:02:07Do you have an issue with it this week, but you didn't the last time?
01:02:10I'm just saying.
01:02:10I'm just saying.
01:02:11Well, then what?
01:02:12Not even going to get into it.
01:02:13Oh, wait a minute.
01:02:13Oh, my God.
01:02:14Nice counter.
01:02:15What a slam.
01:02:16What a counter.
01:02:17What a cover.
01:02:17And another near fall for Kendall Gray.
01:02:19Now Gray staying right on top of the challenger.
01:02:21That was quick.
01:02:21Looking for that arm bar.
01:02:22Trying to snap that arm.
01:02:23Laney Reed having to roll through in both these women right now.
01:02:27Look, J.C. Jane.
01:02:28What the hell J.C. Jane doing out here?
01:02:32The women's champion.
01:02:33And then there's Fallon Henry.
01:02:34She's got it locked in.
01:02:35Another champ.
01:02:36Oh.
01:02:38Well, what's the problem now, boy?
01:02:39I don't know.
01:02:39I'm just waiting to see.
01:02:41What are you talking about?
01:02:42What are you talking about?
01:02:44Brandon, hey.
01:02:45What the hell?
01:02:46Charlie Dempsey.
01:02:50Dempsey's back.
01:02:51J.C. Jane just got taken care of.
01:02:54Kendall Gray.
01:02:55This matchup's still going on, Peter.
01:02:57Absolutely.
01:02:57Kendall Gray has to keep her eye on the prize.
01:02:59What the hell?
01:03:00I can't tell you.
01:03:02I can't tell you.
01:03:03I can't tell you.
01:03:03I can't tell you.
01:03:04I can't tell you.
01:03:06I can't tell you.
01:03:06I can't tell you.
01:03:07I can't tell you.
01:03:07I can't tell you.
01:03:08I can't tell you.
01:03:08I can't tell you.
01:03:09Well, our official just made an executive decision.
01:03:12Kendall's shot that Charlie Dempsey's here.
01:03:14Wait a minute, guys.
01:03:15Wait a minute, guys.
01:03:15She got pulled up.
01:03:16Another near fall and another kick out.
01:03:18Wow, what a matchup again.
01:03:20Showcasing what Evolve is.
01:03:22Oh, foul.
01:03:25Now we may be in book to be crowning a new Evolve women's champion.
01:03:30She's going up.
01:03:30She's going up for that big shot.
01:03:32She's going up to land that coup d'etat.
01:03:34Ah, here we go, baby.
01:03:36Kendall Gray, look, hopping up.
01:03:39And we talked about a variety of suplexes, a German from the top.
01:03:44Oh, it looks like she's ready to enter the gray area.
01:03:49This is what Kendall does book.
01:03:51And New York City rising up for the shade of gray as gray continues to evolve.
01:03:58Here is your winner, and still, the Evolve women's champion, Kendall Gray.
01:04:11What a night, Peter.
01:04:14What a night, Peter, for Evolve.
01:04:16Oh, no, I feel great heading into Thanksgiving this year with Evolve intact.
01:04:22The champions doing what they do to represent the brand like they do every Wednesday night.
01:04:27Well, Kendall has a lot to be thankful for that, including Wren Sinclair on the outside running a little bit of interference after Fatal Influence sucked their nose into this matchup.
01:04:37And then Wren, she's got to be thankful for Charlie Dempsey, who made his return to NXT.
01:04:42But while all that was going on, the referee using his discretion, Felix Fernandez said it is time to get out because we got a championship showdown.
01:04:50And the champion rose to the occasion.
01:04:53She's been able to hit that big, super German suplex off the top.
01:04:58And what'd you say to this?
01:04:59Entering the gray area.
01:05:01Well, she certainly did.
01:05:02And then, bam!
01:05:03Shades of gray, baby.
01:05:04To wipe out Lainey Reed and to retain the Women's Evolve championship.
01:05:10And as we've seen tonight, you do not want to miss Kendall Gray, Drake, and the rest of them all.
01:05:23Hey, that's crazy.
01:05:26Hey, look, we all heard what John Cena said earlier.
01:05:28Yeah, man.
01:05:29He said, I'm a dark horse to be the next big thing around here.
01:05:31Yeah, that's true.
01:05:32Hey, he damn right.
01:05:34Yeah, it is.
01:05:34Hey, it is.
01:05:35And as much as I love these tag titles, I think it's about time for me to focus on bringing some singles go to the dark state.
01:05:41So that we run everything around here, not just the tag division.
01:05:43Hey, but don't worry.
01:05:45Titles are still going to be in the family.
01:05:46And I'm about to go crazy in this Iron Survivor match.
01:05:50What y'all talking about?
01:05:51So that it don't matter if it's all four of us, two of us, one of us, bro.
01:05:54It don't matter the number.
01:05:55Because when we strike, ain't nobody safe, bro.
01:05:58Hey, but let's go get eyes on this Tricky Miles match.
01:06:01Oh, yeah.
01:06:02Come on.
01:06:02Come on.
01:06:03We just getting started.
01:06:04Ain't that right?
01:06:08Well, we heard the men's selection.
01:06:09In moments, John Cena selects the field for the women's Iron Survivor at deadline.
01:06:15This happens next.
01:06:22The NXT women's division is overflowing with incredible talent.
01:06:26And these five superstars I've chosen to participate in this Iron Survivor challenge are a tremendous representation of that.
01:06:34Sol Ruka is the first name when it comes to athleticism and innovation.
01:06:39Smash that, Sol.
01:06:40Sol Ruka.
01:06:41Riding the wave of momentum.
01:06:44Very excited to see what she can do.
01:06:46Come deadline, it doesn't matter who's in that ring with me.
01:06:49I will be the sole survivor.
01:06:52Someone who's always believed in her ability.
01:06:54Every time we've spoken together personally, she has one question.
01:06:58When can I get a shot?
01:07:00This isn't just a fight.
01:07:02This is my moment.
01:07:03Lola Vice stays top.
01:07:06Lola Vice, your time is now.
01:07:08No one, not here, can handle Lola Vice.
01:07:13The next superstar calls herself a standout.
01:07:17I don't just call myself a standout for no reason.
01:07:20And now, Kalani Jordan has the opportunity to prove it.
01:07:24I am the most elite athlete that's not fought in this ring.
01:07:29I admire strength because it takes time, discipline, and the ability to overcome failure.
01:07:34Those are all necessary traits to succeed as a superstar.
01:07:37The Juggernaut is here!
01:07:39All qualities, Jordan Grace has.
01:07:42I have one goal in mind, and that's to be at the top of the best women's division in professional wrestling.
01:07:47Jordan Grace has just sent shockwaves through NXT!
01:07:51The final selection is an amateur standout, who not only found her footing,
01:07:56but has all the tools to accomplish anything she puts her mind to in WWE.
01:08:01The Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
01:08:04Overcoming the odds, Kendall Gray!
01:08:07What a moment for this superstar!
01:08:09Your new, of all women's champions, has officially arrived!
01:08:16I am truly excited to see this match.
01:08:19Ladies, good luck.
01:08:24Well, the decision has been made.
01:08:26There is the field.
01:08:28There are the five, but only one will be the women's Iron Survivor.
01:08:32Do not miss Deadline.
01:08:35Well, John Cena set the field, and next week, those five women will take part in an Iron Survivor Summit on the final NXT Booker deadline.
01:08:48But that's not all, because these two won't be separated next week.
01:08:53Let them fight, as you would say, Booker.
01:08:55And that is what our general manager will do.
01:08:57Briggs fights live next week on NXT.
01:09:00Now, next week, Booker, it's high stakes in our main event.
01:09:08The following is an Iron Survivor Qualifying Match!
01:09:27Introducing first, from Wilmington, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, Miles Boyd!
01:09:35We've heard from John Cena a few times when it comes to the Iron Survivor Challenge Match for both the men and the women, coming up a week from Saturday at Deadline.
01:09:47Do you like John Cena adding stakes, though, to this main event?
01:09:51When to get in?
01:09:52No, that's the only way it should be.
01:09:54I'm loving the way John Cena is making his exit.
01:09:58I mean, making it all about the young guys.
01:10:00Who's going to step up and grab that brass ring?
01:10:04Oh, yes!
01:10:13That's right!
01:10:15The former Survivor went out!
01:10:18Ah!
01:10:19Let's give it up for this man!
01:10:22Say what!
01:10:24Yeah!
01:10:26Uh-huh!
01:10:28That's right!
01:10:29That's right!
01:10:32Say what!
01:10:34That's right!
01:10:36Uh-huh!
01:10:38Oh, yeah, man!
01:10:40Oh, yeah, man!
01:10:41Oh, yeah, man!
01:10:44That's trick!
01:10:45Who gave you a towel?
01:10:51And his opponent, from Columbia, South Carolina, weighing in at 240 pounds,
01:10:59say what!
01:10:59Trey!
01:11:00Will!
01:11:02Yeah!
01:11:03Ha-ha-ha!
01:11:04Oh, yeah!
01:11:06It's about to get busy up here.
01:11:08This is Maps' swag.
01:11:10God!
01:11:11Oh!
01:11:12Get on your feet!
01:11:13Just like everybody in the highs, man!
01:11:16One, two, one, three!
01:11:17Ripping the towels out, but that man, dripping in gold because he's going back to the top where
01:11:24he belongs, man!
01:11:25And this, this is the beginning!
01:11:28Oh, yes!
01:11:29I'm surprised you have this much energy towards the end of the night and a big clothesline
01:11:33by Trick Williams, and Trick knows what's at stake.
01:11:36He knows, as you've already mentioned, what it takes, what it's like to win at Deadline,
01:11:41to get that guaranteed championship opportunity at New Year's Eve.
01:11:45And obviously, Book, we know whose side you're gonna be on.
01:11:47I'm not on anybody's side, but Trick is a little frustrated because Trick should be champion right
01:11:53now.
01:11:54Trick should have made history.
01:11:56Whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:11:56Wait a minute, wait a minute!
01:11:57And right now, he's gonna have to take it out on this young man here, Miles Boynt,
01:12:02who is very, very talented.
01:12:09And a nice drop kick from Miles Boynt quickly.
01:12:12He didn't get all of it, though.
01:12:12He didn't get all of it.
01:12:13Into the cover and a kick out.
01:12:15You think the added bonus, though, of the qualifying for the Iron Survivor gives Trick
01:12:19the advantage?
01:12:20And I say that because, here, Book, more big match experience, former Iron Survivor,
01:12:24which you've already brought up, but Bourne has been proving doubters wrong his entire
01:12:28life.
01:12:28I give my boy a lot of credit.
01:12:30I mean, he's here under the bright lights in New York City, and he has a chance of a
01:12:36lifetime to go out there and beat Trick Williams, a two-time NXT champion, looking to become
01:12:41a three-time NXT champion.
01:12:43That right there, that right there will give him a whole lot of clout around this bitch,
01:12:48and trust me.
01:12:49Well, he certainly has slowed this matchup down, and again, you talk about urgency.
01:12:53It's that time of year, deadline right around the corner, the final WWE premium live event
01:12:59of the year, and Trick Williams wants to represent the brand.
01:13:02And he wants to, again, have the honor.
01:13:05Wait a minute, he wants to represent the brand.
01:13:06Trick Williams is the damn brand.
01:13:08What are you talking about?
01:13:09He's not the champion.
01:13:09What are you talking about?
01:13:10He's not the champion.
01:13:11You can hear Trick say, he's not the champion, but he's still the guy.
01:13:14He's still the guy around here.
01:13:16And you know this.
01:13:17Well, Trick has been in control and a nice suplex.
01:13:20Beautiful, got all of it, too.
01:13:21I mean, the velocity of it.
01:13:22Into the cover.
01:13:24And again, a kick out by Miles Bourne.
01:13:26John Cena puts some extra on this matchup.
01:13:30The winner would get that final men's spot at Iron Survivor in the challenge match.
01:13:37A week from Saturday in San Antonio.
01:13:41And Trick Williams is talking a little bit of trash right now.
01:13:42Because you know what?
01:13:44He's a trash talker.
01:13:45He's the guy that's going around making all the noise here.
01:13:49He's the reason why the people are in the building here tonight.
01:13:53Up over Miles Bourne right now.
01:13:54Oh, Bourne again.
01:13:55Got called.
01:13:56That could be it.
01:13:56Got called.
01:13:57Miles Bourne headed to San Antonio.
01:13:58Watch yourself.
01:13:59Oh, man, that was close.
01:14:01That certainly was.
01:14:02And Miles Bourne on top.
01:14:04Can he keep his foot on the gas?
01:14:06Who's headed to Deadline?
01:14:12Back on NXT, who's headed to San Antonio?
01:14:16Who's headed to Deadline?
01:14:18And I got to give Trick a lot of credit because right before the commercial break,
01:14:20he was dropped by that patented Bourne again from Miles Bourne.
01:14:24We've seen Miles Bourne win match after match and earn opportunity after opportunity.
01:14:29But Trick was able to kick out.
01:14:30You know, it tells me one thing right there.
01:14:33That that Miles Bourne may be.
01:14:34Wait a minute.
01:14:35Wait a minute.
01:14:35That Miles Bourne may be in over his head in this matchup right here.
01:14:40Well, look, how massive would it be, though, for Bourne to go to San Antonio?
01:14:43He's got to be thinking about that right now on December the 6th to get to Deadline,
01:14:46to get to that final premium live event.
01:14:48This would be a huge feather in the cap for Miles Bourne.
01:14:52Miles Bourne, like I said, the kid has a lot of talent,
01:14:55but he's dealing with a guy like Aaron Trick Williams right now
01:14:59who has nothing to lose but everything to gain.
01:15:02And he's not going to let it slip away in a match like this
01:15:05with somebody like Miles Bourne.
01:15:07Trust me, I've been in the same position before.
01:15:09And this is a position where you've got to go out here and hurt this man.
01:15:12You've got to break it down.
01:15:14You've got to dogging.
01:15:15You've got to do what you've got to do to get the victory.
01:15:18And that's what Trick Williams is going to do.
01:15:22You've been very outspoken.
01:15:23Let's also be honest about it.
01:15:25Let's talk about it, pun intended.
01:15:27You've been outspoken about Miles Bourne,
01:15:28especially if you go back to NXT Showdown.
01:15:31You called him out as soon as the match started.
01:15:34Miles Bourne is looking to prove you wrong,
01:15:36just like he's looking to prove a lot of people wrong.
01:15:38Miles Bourne's lifting that match by default.
01:15:42Am I right?
01:15:43Am I right?
01:15:43So what does he have to do to change the victory?
01:15:44No, no, the thing is, he shouldn't have even been there.
01:15:46That had nothing to do with his inability or anything like that.
01:15:51Did I think he was a weak link?
01:15:52Yes, did he prove?
01:15:53Did he prove to be the weak link?
01:15:55Yes, he did.
01:15:56Okay, so what does he have to do to change your perception?
01:15:58He got to get a victory.
01:16:00I mean, stand toe to toe.
01:16:01I mean, the thing is, it means if he could just take, you know, to that last mile.
01:16:04It's that cradle!
01:16:05It's that cradle!
01:16:06Oh, wait a minute!
01:16:07You can take him to that last mile.
01:16:08I have so much respect for this guy.
01:16:10Big kicked in, connect, another counter, another cover!
01:16:12And another near fall was the North American champion, Ethan Page.
01:16:15He called Miles Bourne a lost cause earlier tonight.
01:16:19And Tripp Williams showing that strength, showing you why he is money!
01:16:23I'm going to tell you right now, Miles Bourne just, he just tipped his hand just a minute
01:16:29ago right now.
01:16:30I think he's run out of ideas, trying to get those covers.
01:16:34That told me a lot about Miles.
01:16:36Tripp, looking for Tripp, shot!
01:16:38And he got countered!
01:16:39Big power slam!
01:16:40Cover!
01:16:41Oh, wow!
01:16:42Still not enough to send Miles Bourne to San Antonio, but let's also remember what happened
01:16:47last week.
01:16:48It was Miles Bourne who waffled Tripp Williams with a steel chair.
01:16:53Able to counter there in that moment.
01:16:55Maybe he's starting to listen to the advice of Ethan Page to start being selfish.
01:17:00I mean, this is a selfish business.
01:17:02I mean, you got to go out there and think about eight, number one.
01:17:04You got to go out there and think about your legacy.
01:17:08If you're going to be Hall of Fame worthy one day, that's what you got to think about.
01:17:12And trust me, that's what Tripp, what are you just thinking about?
01:17:14Well, our night started with Shawn Legacy not able to pick up the men's of all championship.
01:17:18It's Miles Bourne looking to build his own legacy to punch his ticket to San Antonio.
01:17:23Atomic drop to Tripp Williams and fouling it up.
01:17:27You better cover him, kid.
01:17:28This could be it.
01:17:29Is it going to be enough?
01:17:30And Tripp again getting that right shoulder up.
01:17:33And look, Tripp has a lot of big match experience, not just here in NXT, but also in TMA.
01:17:37He is built for this.
01:17:38Miles Bourne now is getting that first taste.
01:17:40Chris Williams is a big, big, big match player, man.
01:17:44He hasn't worked the Indies or anything like that.
01:17:46This guy went straight to the main event.
01:17:49You don't do that unless you are extra, extraordinary talent.
01:17:53And that's Tripp Williams.
01:17:54Looking for the backslide.
01:17:55Countered, though, for a moment by Miles Bourne.
01:17:57Bourne, though, got caught.
01:17:58And there was the bookend.
01:18:01Shuckity-duckity.
01:18:02That was a bookend.
01:18:03Shuckity-duckity.
01:18:04Whack-whack.
01:18:04I called it a bookend.
01:18:05Oh, my bad.
01:18:06My bad.
01:18:07Yeah.
01:18:07Beautiful, beautiful, baby.
01:18:09And Tripp Williams, we've seen him here many a times.
01:18:13Looking to put the finishing touches, so to speak.
01:18:16Oh, counter.
01:18:17Oh, wait a minute.
01:18:18I think Miles Bourne was maybe looking for some sort of submission.
01:18:21It was countered.
01:18:21Oh, big kick.
01:18:22Beautiful counter right there.
01:18:24Tripp set him up.
01:18:25Answering back with a forearm, though, Miles Bourne.
01:18:27Tripp now pump kick right right at the jaw.
01:18:29Bourne being rocked.
01:18:30Swing and a miss the first time.
01:18:32Boom, man.
01:18:33I have never seen double neck breakers before.
01:18:37Wow.
01:18:38Wow.
01:18:39John Cena made this match.
01:18:41John Cena was the one who said the winner will get that final men's spot at Iron Survivor.
01:18:47And take a look right here.
01:18:50Both men's same idea.
01:18:52As we come back to live action, Miles Bourne just connected with a knee under the jaw.
01:18:56And a right hand just connected to the jaw.
01:19:00That was an uppercut, man.
01:19:02Kicked in, connect, look for a German suplex.
01:19:05That one did.
01:19:06Miles Bourne now.
01:19:07Looks like he's got his Booker's second or third win in this match.
01:19:11Looking for Bourne again, counter.
01:19:12I'm gonna say he looked like he was filling into that right there.
01:19:14That could be it.
01:19:15That could be the door that just opened for Tripp Williams.
01:19:18Oh.
01:19:20And a hard land to the outside, and I am starting to notice some welts forming on the body of-
01:19:25Miles Bourne.
01:19:25Oh, yes.
01:19:26Take it to the street.
01:19:27Take it to the street, baby.
01:19:29We're in Times Square.
01:19:31Trick measuring.
01:19:33Oh, no.
01:19:35I don't know if he was looking for a trick kick, a trick shot.
01:19:38Nonetheless, that knee went right to the steel, and then the Bourne again on the floor.
01:19:43Yeah, that's concrete.
01:19:44That's the second Bourne again for Miles Bourne.
01:19:46That's concrete under the padding right there.
01:19:47That was a tough shot that Trick just took right there.
01:19:50Miles charging in for a third time.
01:19:53Another Bourne again.
01:19:54Miles is gonna do it.
01:19:56Miles into the cover.
01:19:57Miles is headed to deadline.
01:19:59Here is your winner, Miles Bourne.
01:20:05You got to admit, for everything you said, you said to change the perception, he's gotta win.
01:20:11Damn it, he did.
01:20:12That's the biggest win of his career.
01:20:14It's a huge win, man.
01:20:15It's a huge win for the kid, but you got to understand, Trick.
01:20:18Trick is going through a lot right now, man.
01:20:20You got to understand that.
01:20:21Trick is going through a lot right now, but there's no excuses for Miles Bourne.
01:20:29He did what he set out to do.
01:20:31He dropped Trick last week, he did it for a second time, and this time, with a victory,
01:20:37he's headed to deadline.
01:20:39That was the second Bourne again, as you mentioned, right there on the floor, just an inch away
01:20:45from concrete.
01:20:46Third time would be the charm for Miles, who punches his ticket to San Antonio, who makes
01:20:53his way to the final WWE Premium Live Event of the Year, that being deadline, one week from
01:21:02Saturday.
01:21:20Booker.
01:21:23Dark Saints here.
01:21:25Miles Bourne just had a match, Book.
01:21:27He just had a match.
01:21:28He just qualified for a deadline.
01:21:32Get some, won't stop, son.
01:21:34Hey, come on!
01:21:35You better be banding up, take some, then Dark State!
01:21:40Miles Bourne earned his spot.
01:21:42Deion Lennox was...
01:21:44Whoa!
01:21:46Hendry, Slater, Javon, the other Iron Survivors have arrived!
01:21:56What a face-off, because Dark State is looking into the eyes of four men who won't back down!
01:22:02Yeah!
01:22:03Damn!
01:22:04Me too!
01:22:05I'm a captain.
01:22:06Let's go!
01:22:07Yeah.
01:22:08I'll be out of here!
01:22:09Oh, my God!
01:22:10Go away!
01:22:11Let's go!
01:22:1222.
01:22:13Yeah.
01:22:14Yes!
01:22:15Emma!
01:22:16That's what we're saying.
01:22:18That's all right!
01:22:19I can't be a good boss.
01:22:20I think that's over.
01:22:21I'll be the best for the results now.
01:22:23I'll be the best for your friends.
01:22:24Yeah, but...
01:22:25All right.
01:22:26Now let's go.
