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.

00:04:05If you want to let us know what you can, that's okay –

00:04:07It's okay, back to it, yes.

00:04:10Here, here, here, here.

00:04:11Alright, alright.

00:04:12Alright, alright, alright.

00:04:25Okanui Cuphead schedule for one fall.

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.

00:18:58The week of John Cena will be available soon on December 13th.

00:18:59The week of John Cena will be available soon on December 13th.

00:19:26And her opponent, from Adelaide, Satoshia, Saria!

00:19:38Well, we heard from Sol Ruka earlier.

00:19:40And as you can see through the smoke, she is not with Saria for this championship opportunity.

00:19:56A reminder of five-minute time limit.

00:20:01And Jasper Troy just won the Men's Speed Championship a few weeks ago.

00:20:06We will crown a new Women's Speed Champion here in New York City.

00:20:11You talking about my guy, Jasper Troy?

00:20:13And indeed is your guy who is now the Men's Speed Champion.

00:20:27I trained him.

00:20:29If I had a dollar.

00:20:30I trained him to be a monster, man.

00:20:33Take no prison.

00:20:34Step on some toes.

00:20:36And keep on walking, Jack.

00:20:39I gotta, you know, before this starts, and again, Saria looking over,

00:20:43there is no Sol Ruka.

00:20:44Did Saria do the right thing last week?

00:20:46She just showed how much she truly cares for her friend, for her partner, Sol Ruka,

00:20:51when she threw in that towel.

00:20:51You know, you've heard the old saying, right?

00:20:53Death before dishonor.

00:20:55You want to go out on your own shield when you're a fighter.

00:20:57I don't believe in that throwing in the towel.

00:21:00Did Saria 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.

00:21:05Saria is alone.

00:21:06That has to mess with her mind.

00:21:07You think about Stevie Ray, when he wasn't in your corner early on in your career,

00:21:11did it not, I don't have that there.

00:21:13There is no safety net.

00:21:14There is no safety valve.

00:21:15That's a security blanket.

00:21:16That's a better way of putting it, yes.

00:21:18Yeah, I understand that.

00:21:20I mean, Sol Ruka not being out here could be a factor.

00:21:23Shoulders down, cover!

00:21:24But Saria is trying to cap our first title here in NXT.

00:21:29All right?

00:21:30That's big.

00:21:31That's a big move right there.

00:21:32It is a numbers advantage in favor of Fatal Influences.

00:21:35We're just about 60 seconds off the clock here.

00:21:37What are you talking about?

00:21:38There's no number game here.

00:21:39There's two women on the outside with Fallon.

00:21:41That would hit me right there, is taking care of business.

00:21:43Saria is doing her work.

00:21:44Right now, we got a hell of a match going on.

00:21:46What are you talking about?

00:21:47I'm talking about there's a numbers advantage in Fatal Influence, as we saw last week.

00:21:50And up, over, count, cover, kick out.

00:21:52As we saw when J.C. Jane recaptured the NXT Women's Championship.

00:21:58Fallon 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, they could have all three championships by the end of

00:22:09tonight.

00:22:09Sitting down though is Zarya.

00:22:11Into the cover, another near fall.

00:22:13Can I make a prediction?

00:22:14Can I make a prediction?

00:22:15The same one you made last week.

00:22:16I feel like it's gonna happen.

00:22:18I feel like Baylor, if Floyd's gonna walk away.

00:22:20Shoulders down one more time.

00:22:21We're on the goal, baby.

00:22:22Under three and a half minutes in this matchup.

00:22:24And we're talking about all three titles.

00:22:26It's Fallon looking to capture the Women's Speed title.

00:22:29It's Reed, who's on the outside.

00:22:30It's Kendall Gray for the Evolve Women's Championship.

00:22:34Here tonight, there's almost two minutes off the clock in this Speed Championship matchup.

00:22:39Now look outside and see J.C. Jane book.

00:22:41I don't mean to take away from this match with three minutes left.

00:22:44I still just can't believe Izzy Dame's selfish actions from last week is floating into the

00:22:50cover in a near fall.

00:22:51The frustration just boiled over, man.

00:22:53I mean, sometimes it's the old saying, that's all I can stand.

00:22:57I can't stand no more.

00:23:00You've heard that before, right?

00:23:01Heard you say it at any time or two.

00:23:03And Zarya right now could be looking for some sort of submission.

00:23:06That was just a right to the face.

00:23:09And now, I don't know if she's trying to lock in like a Texas Cloverleaf here to try to step

00:23:14through, step over and turn.

00:23:16And 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.

00:23:26So close right now.

00:23:27Can't she hang out, Booker?

00:23:28There's still two minutes, 15 seconds and counting.

00:23:30And I tell you what, you don't see Fallon Henley.

00:23:33Whoa.

00:23:34You don't see Fallon Henley about to tap.

00:23:36You don't see J.C. Jane throwing in a towel or anything.

00:23:40You don't see Lady Reed doing anything because that's a partnership.

00:23:44That's a hell of a team right there.

00:23:45Now, I see what you're doing, Booker, as we're under two minutes left in this matchup.

00:23:49And you gotta wonder if there's added pressure, too, on Zarya's shoulders.

00:23:53Soul had to relinquish this title weeks ago.

00:23:55Zarya vowed to win it back, but she just went face first.

00:23:58Fallon, though, on almost one good leg, just walked into a big right foot.

00:24:03Let me tell you right now, it's a lot of pressure.

00:24:05And the thing is, who do you think Zarya is fighting for right now?

00:24:08You think she's fighting for Soul Weakle?

00:24:10Do you really think that?

00:24:11I don't know, let me tell you something, Zarya want to be in the same place Soul Weakle

00:24:16wanted to be in, all right?

00:24:17And that's at the top of the food chain, come on, man.

00:24:20I don't doubt what you're saying, Booker, as we got a minute 20 left.

00:24:24And that could be the knockout blow, Fallon so wise to roll to the outside.

00:24:28A little bit of space right there, I like the action right there by Fallon Henley.

00:24:32Zarya rolling out here too, 70 seconds left in this matchup.

00:24:36The Women's Speed Championship on the line, Fallon Henley's such a decorated competitor.

00:24:40Zarya, who is yet to win a championship.

00:24:44And we're now under 60 seconds here in the theater at Madison Square Garden.

00:24:50And this is what we're talking about, the numbers advantage.

00:24:53Providing this distraction, Fallon Henley, two feet to the face.

00:24:58You see that, that's teamwork, that's Zarya.

00:25:01Teamwork, no, it's cutting corners, 40 seconds.

00:25:04Zarya lost focus right there, Vic, she lost focus.

00:25:0835 seconds, Fallon off the top, high crossbody, rolling through.

00:25:13We're under 30 seconds now, Zarya looking around.

00:25:18Trying to overpower, hoist up, muscle up, Fallon Henley.

00:25:2220 seconds, 20 seconds book, DDT from Fallon.

00:25:27We got a new champ, we got a new champ.

00:25:30Oh, 13 seconds and counting, we're inside the final 10 seconds.

00:25:34Five, eight, seven, six, five, four, three.

00:25:40Trying to get it, trying to hoist her up.

00:25:42Hit.

00:25:44What's the decision here, Book?

00:25:54I'm looking over it.

00:25:56Book on this, Mike Roman.

00:25:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this 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.

00:26:13However, since the title is vacant, this match now moves to sudden death.

00:26:19First pinfall, winner takes all, referee, ring the bell.

00:26:26Well, that's a hell of a decision from our general manager.

00:26:28He was doing a hell of a job, man.

00:26:32The time limit has expired, these two are continuing.

00:26:35You heard what she said for the women's speed championship between Zarya and

00:26:40Fallon, with that power on display, this is sudden death.

00:26:44Fallon running right through, right to the outside, crash and burn.

00:26:47We are in sudden death, who's gonna walk out with the championship?

00:26:57Booker, we're in sudden death for the women's speed championship.

00:27:01The five minute time limit has come and is gone.

00:27:04Our general manager making this decision.

00:27:07We're in New York City, we're going to crown a champion.

00:27:11And it could be right here, right now for Fallon and a kick out by Zarya.

00:27:16And Zarya fighting with so much internal pressure, wanting to do this for Sol Ruka.

00:27:21Yes, we heard what Sol had to say earlier, she is not out here.

00:27:24She's obviously frustrated because one week ago it was Zarya, who threw in the title,

00:27:29costing her friend one more time.

00:27:31But Zarya said she did it in the best interest for her partner, in the best

00:27:35interest for her best friend.

00:27:37But that brings us to right here, right now, fighting for a little bit more than just

00:27:40herself.

00:27:41As Zarya taking down, looking for the rings of Saturn.

00:27:44No wasted motion by Fallon Henley here, man.

00:27:48So efficient and a move and a game plan here tonight.

00:27:52Looking to walk away the new speed champion.

00:27:54Overpowered, overpowered.

00:27:55Wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:27:56Crucifix.

00:27:57Nice.

00:27:58Another kick out against Sudden Death.

00:28:00First pinfall first.

00:28:01Ooh.

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!

00:28:08Go!

00:28:09Fatal influence.

00:28:10Big two weeks.

00:28:11First it was J.C. Jane 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.

00:28:21Fallon, who just got dropped.

00:28:24Follow 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.

00:28:40I mean, you got to be impressed with Zarya, are you not?

00:28:42At 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 the championship picture.

00:28:51Roll through, count through, roll through, roll through.

00:28:53Oh, yes.

00:28:54Oh, yes.

00:28:55Big spear.

00:28:56Good night.

00:28:57On Fallon.

00:28:58Back in.

00:28:59Back in.

00:29:00To the outside.

00:29:01But how wise is Zarya?

00:29:02Zarya quickly going right to the outside.

00:29:03Hey!

00:29:05Laney 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.

00:29:18It followed it right up.

00:29:20Bam!

00:29:21Oh, that's the definitive victory right there for you, baby.

00:29:24Oh, yeah!

00:29:25And in sudden death, Fallon is a champion once more.

00:29:30I predicted it.

00:29:31Here is your winner and the new women's speed champion, Fallon Henley!

00:29:46You predicted something of it, Book.

00:29:49Ha, ha, ha!

00:29:50Ha, ha, ha!

00:29:51I told you!

00:29:52Because 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.

00:30:04Laney 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 to 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.

00:30:29All right.

00:30:33Shiloh Hill here.

00:30:35And here's the download.

00:30:36So, a little bit about my past.

00:30:38I've been a wrestling fan pretty much my whole life.

00:30:41I 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 Luthez press him,

00:30:50and 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

00:30:56right 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?

00:31:28I mean, I've worked as a software developer.

00:31:30I've worked in government.

00:31:31Oh, yeah.

00:31:32My 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,

00:31:40Shiloh, are you okay?

00:31:41Does it hurt?

00:31:42And I was just like, bro, let me look in a mirror right now.

00:31:44And as soon as I saw it, I could not stop smiling.

00:31:47I feel like it just adds so much.

00:31:49I remember my mom called me and she was like, Shiloh, you have to get your tooth fixed.

00:31:52You look hideous.

00:31:53And I was like, Mom, do you see how tough I look right now?

00:31:56It reminds me of my friends in the woods.

00:31:58Oh, my bolt cutters.

00:32:03I forgot those.

00:32:04I got to go.

00:32:06I'll see you soon.

00:32:12Who will the Intercontinental Champion John Cena select?

00:32:16We all find out next.

00:32:26As 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.

00:32:43This 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.

00:33:02A pair of 21-year-olds who are way ahead of their time.

00:33:06Fun to watch.

00:33:07And look to big things on the road ahead.

00:33:09The X-Vision Champion Leon Slater, the young OG Javon Evans showing us just how bright the future truly is.

00:33:19Next spot goes to a man who is the definition of a self-made superstar.

00:33:24It's Joe Hendrick.

00:33:25Hey, no!

00:33:26No!

00:33:27I believe in Joe Hendrick!

00:33:29Joe Hendrick!

00:33:32Again, 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, I will appear.

00:33:43I believe in Joe Hendrick.

00:33:48The 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?

00:33:57That's got a lot of adrenaline flowing through his body and he would want to put this old dark state thing together.

00:34:02Deion Lennox has earned an opportunity to show what he's got.

00:34:06Staring a lion in the face, knowing that your next move is going to be your last, because 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.

00:34:15And the last spot will be given to the winner of tonight's main event.

00:34:21Miles Warren and Tripp Williams are both deserving in their own right.

00:34:24They'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.

00:34:37Good luck.

00:34:39It's the final premium live event of the year in San Antonio.

00:34:43There is the field, but who earns the last spot?

00:34:46Will it be Tripp Williams or Miles Warren?

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 Champion.

00:35:21The championship.

00:35:25Introducing first from Austin, Texas, Jordan Grace.

00:35:31Well, 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?

00:35:44Trick Williams.

00:35:45Miles Warren.

00:35:46Who gets in?

00:35:47Who gets in?

00:35:48Next, from Chongqing China, Lee Ying Lee.

00:36:05Lee Ying Lee.

00:36:06Lee Ying Lee looking to bring the TNA Knockouts title home, who will walk out with the gold tonight.

00:36:20Time for tonight's NXT focus.

00:36:35Oh, Tatum.

00:36:37Don't act like you didn't hear my warnings loud and clear.

00:36:42I told you not every voice in your head is worth listening to.

00:36:46But yet you still followed them.

00:36:48And ultimately, it led straight to your downfall.

00:36:52What the hell, Izzy?

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.

00:37:05But don't worry.

00:37:06I'll explain everything next week.

00:37:08And remember, Tatum, it is what it is.

00:37:12I don't know how Izzy sleeps at night.

00:37:24Absolute betrayal last week.

00:37:31And their opponent from Point Beach, Florida, she is the TNA Knockouts World Champion,

00:37:41Kalani Jordan!

00:37:46Has a different attitude about her, doesn't she, Book?

00:37:48Look here, ain't got time for the fans.

00:37:50It's about business.

00:37:51Look, you're not too far gone to know it's about business, Victor.

00:37:56Come on.

00:37:57It's not.

00:37:58It's about checks.

00:37:59Champions.

00:38:00It's about champions.

00:38:01Legacy.

00:38:02History.

00:38:03Hall of Fame.

00:38:04Well, you added more to your shtick because we got a special guest here in attendance with

00:38:08us tonight.

00:38:09Tonight, it is TNA President Carlos Silva.

00:38:12And when we talk about championship, he would love to have this specific title back on his

00:38:17brand in TNA.

00:38:18That's Tommy Dreamer.

00:38:19Along with Tommy Dreamer, that was good eyes on you.

00:38:24TNA in full effect.

00:38:27In full force.

00:38:28Here tonight, there's support behind Leigh Yigley.

00:38:32And you know what?

00:38:33Should they have support for Kalani Jordan?

00:38:34Kalani Jordan stood up for TNA against her peers here in NXT.

00:38:39Did she not in 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 with no part of Jordan.

00:38:53Grace Lee from behind.

00:38:55Jordan saved the match for a 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 find a champion.

00:39:10Matches like this.

00:39:11She don't have to win this match, babe.

00:39:13She just don't have to win this, if 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.

00:39:19I see Jordan Grace standing in the center of the ring.

00:39:22Is she the favorite in this triple threat match?

00:39:24Jordan Grace definitely should be the favorite in a matchup,

00:39:28like this being former knockouts champion on multiple occasions.

00:39:31Yeah, she should be.

00:39:32But right now, I must keep to Kalani Jordan.

00:39:35She's doing a hell of a job, man.

00:39:37Jordan Grace, a former four-time knockouts world champion,

00:39:40was 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.

00:39:54In a near fall, Grace able to kick out at the last moment.

00:39:57Again, no champion's advantage in this matchup.

00:39:59And look, take another look.

00:40:02Bam!

00:40:03A little two-for-one special.

00:40:04How has Lee really grown as an in-ring competitor in New York?

00:40:09You know, that's the thing.

00:40:10I don't know a lot about Lee and ADE,

00:40:12but what 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 this job a whole lot easier.

00:40:20She's going to hell to come right now.

00:40:22Could find herself into Deadline as we saw earlier with some of the decisions.

00:40:25Oh, baby!

00:40:26Oh, she'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 Lee 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, it was Lee 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.

00:41:15Jordan Grace charging right back in.

00:41:17I like that.

00:41:18A lot of force and torque behind that uppercut.

00:41:20Grace having to reassess her strategy here at NXT.

00:41:24Yes!

00:41:25Oh!

00:41:26What's been working.

00:41:27Oh, yes!

00:41:28Under 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 chase her 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, right?

00:41:50Need to reassess.

00:41:51Why is she here at NXT?

00:41:53Why is it?

00:41:54Well, that's a question you're gonna have to ask her.

00:41:56Maybe we can get Johnny Russo to write you a sit down interview with her and you can actually

00:41:59use your journalistic skills to get to the bottom of it then, Book.

00:42:02Jordan Grace came into the win championship, something that she's done in every organization

00:42:06that she's winning.

00:42:07But it's been a little harder here at NXT to top.

00:42:10The competition is stiff, man.

00:42:12Well, Jordan Grace gets caught for a moment and a BAM!

00:42:16Big 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 defend her

00:42:27championship at TNA's turning point.

00:42:30So she has been a fighting champion on both brands.

00:42:33We saw it get to Tric Williams.

00:42:35Will it get to Kalani Jordan?

00:42:38Whoa!

00:42:39Nasty!

00:42:40That makes her a team, a true world champion right there, Vic.

00:42:46And you can tell, just look at the body language.

00:42:49Look at the confidence.

00:42:50Look at the million dollar smile, man.

00:42:53Hey, Kalani now, looking for that move.

00:42:56Taking out the competition.

00:43:00It's the champion standing tall, but will be the champion walking out with the gold.

00:43:05Let's go, Lonnie!

00:43:08TNA Knockouts Championship is on the line.

00:43:11Triple threat match.

00:43:12Kalani Jordan, the champion, with a frog splash into the cover.

00:43:16And 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.

00:43:40All 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.

00:43:48For Kalani Jordan, she was kicked out of the locker room.

00:43:51Removed from the locker room for siding with TNA.

00:43:57And it's really backfired a little bit against her,

00:43:59because that's something that Jordan Grace was trying to help her with.

00:44:02Trying 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.

00:44:12What 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.

00:44:20Title.

00:44:21Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:44:22One more, one more, one more, one more, one more.

00:44:23Another near fall.

00:44:24They just let Kalani Jordan know that she can't trust anybody.

00:44:27Nobody likes her.

00:44:28It's not about friends or anything like that.

00:44:29Take that shot out right there by Lee.

00:44:31Drop kick, Samoan drop combination, two for one.

00:44:34And look, let's call it what it is.

00:44:36We saw Carlos Silva, who is here.

00:44:38TNA desperately wants the title back in the impact.

00:44:42You know, I wouldn't necessarily see it that way.

00:44:44I mean, I think Carlos Silva like what Kalani Jordan has done with that championship.

00:44:50She's elevated it.

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, and I do think to your point sometimes.

00:44:57Whoa!

00:44:58Wow!

00:44:59Wait a minute.

00:45:00That German who had the bridge.

00:45:01Look at this little juggernaut.

00:45:02And ooh.

00:45:03Another near fall.

00:45:04Jordan Grace, so close.

00:45:07So close.

00:45:08Jordan needs to tap into that juggernaut moniker.

00:45:12Another look.

00:45:15And right there.

00:45:18Oh, juggernaut get rolling downhill, 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 knockout's world champion.

00:45:33And she could be looking for some high-impact offense.

00:45:38Looking around, Kalani Jordan nowhere to be found.

00:45:42Leying Lee right now in control.

00:45:47And 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.

00:45:58But right now, Leigh 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.

00:46:24A lot of animosity.

00:46:26Both women up.

00:46:27Whoa!

00:46:28Whoa!

00:46:29Whoa!

00:46:31Will 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 Leigh was trying to lock in his submission.

00:46:44Wasn't quite able to...

00:46:46Well, maybe she was because Kalani Jordan was...

00:46:48Oh, there it is!

00:46:49Look at the technique.

00:46:51Look at the technique on Leigh right there.

00:46:53Leigh 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 Leigh still has Kalani Jordan hooked.

00:47:11I think Jordan was kicking Leigh.

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.

00:47:19Kalani coming in out of nowhere.

00:47:21Rolling up.

00:47:22Trying to get down.

00:47:23Whoa!

00:47:24Power again.

00:47:25Bam!

00:47:26Is this that moment?

00:47:28No!

00:47:29Woo!

00:47:30Wow!

00:47:31What a matchup.

00:47:32What a triple threat.

00:47:34Take another look.

00:47:35High impact offense.

00:47:36And again, all three of these women really laying it on the line.

00:47:44And Jordan Grace right there was so close to recapping that championship for a fifth time.

00:47:50So close.

00:47:51So close.

00:47:52But not close enough.

00:47:53Fourth time.

00:47:54Fourth time.

00:47:55Fourth time.

00:47:56My bad.

00:47:57My bad.

00:47:58My bad.

00:47:59My bad.

00:48:00My bad.

00:48:01My bad.

00:48:02My bad.

00:48:03My bad.

00:48:04My bad.

00:48:05My bad.

00:48:06I'm sure someone on social media will yell at us.

00:48:07And those here in New York showing their love for all three of these women.

00:48:17And it's the champion.

00:48:18Oh!

00:48:19That's that newfound attitude in Kalani Jordan Man.

00:48:24You 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.

00:48:32Look who could be out.

00:48:36Up top for 50.

00:48:37Oh!

00:48:38My God!

00:48:39Didn't connect.

00:48:40Bam!

00:48:41Big roundhouse kick.

00:48:44Lei Ying Li hoisted up Kalani.

00:48:47Jordan 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 hand.

00:48:53Oh baby!

00:48:54Kalani rolling out title!

00:48:55Not to be retained quite yet.

00:48:57Yep.

00:48:58Back fist again connects.

00:49:00Grace took out one.

00:49:01Now she's looking to take out two.

00:49:07Oh!

00:49:08This could be it Vic!

00:49:09This could be it!

00:49:10One!

00:49:11Two!

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 knockouts title.

00:49:21Back to TNA.

00:49:22Here is the winner and the new TNA Knockouts World Champion, Lei Ying Li!

00:49:41Whether it's been in the single ranks or in tag team matches alongside Zia Brookside, it

00:49:48has been a road, a long road for that woman for this moment with TNA President Carlos Silva

00:49:56here to award Lei Ying Li!

00:49:59What a moment in New York City!

00:50:09What a matchup this was!

00:50:10I mean for Jordan Grace!

00:50:11Thought she had it here!

00:50:12But bam!

00:50:13Presence of mind!

00:50:14What were you saying throughout this match?

00:50:15Right place?

00:50:16Right time!

00:50:17Right time!

00:50:18Yes!

00:50:19And that is where Lei Ying Li was to finally call herself a champion with a warrior spirit!

00:50:26Congratulations to the new TNA!

00:50:27Congratulations to the new TNA Knockouts Champion!

00:50:33Congratulations!

00:50:34Congrats, Colin!

00:50:35Thank you!

00:50:36How does it feel to be a champion once again?

00:50:37Pretty damn good!

00:50:38But we are done, are we, JC?

00:50:39Nope, two down, one to go!

00:50:40Lainie, you're up next!

00:50:41This is the moment that you've been waiting for!

00:50:42You go out there and you take that Evolve Rooms Championship from Kendall

00:50:46Congrats, Colin.

00:50:52How does it feel to be a champion once again?

00:50:54Pretty damn good.

00:50:56But we aren't done, are we, JC?

00:50:58Nope.

00:50:59Two down, one to go.

00:51:01Lainey, you're up next.

00:51:02This is the moment that you've been waiting for.

00:51:05You go out there and you take that Evolve Rooms championship from Kendall Gray tonight.

00:51:09And then we walk out of New York City and Gold Rush all as champions!

00:51:14Hi, ladies.

00:51:17JC, Fallon, congratulations on becoming champions.

00:51:20Very big win.

00:51:22But, you know, you guys interfered in your match last week and you guys interfered in your match about 20 minutes ago.

00:51:28So tonight, if Lainey wants to be champion, she's going to have to do it on her own because you two are a fan of them inside.

00:51:34Uh, come on.

00:51:35Excuse me?

00:51:36Where are you going?

00:51:37That's rude.

00:51:37You've got to be kidding me.

00:51:38Is she allowed to do that?

00:51:39We're a group.

00:51:40That's not how this works.

00:51:41She can't do that.

00:51:42Ricky, it's great sitting down with you.

00:51:47Thank you so much for your time.

00:51:49Now, Oba Femi shocked the NXT universe with his recent return.

00:51:53What 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 Ricky going to be NXT champion.

00:52:09Yeah, that is a lot of pressure that sits right here on this chest, heavier than the title, no less.

00:52:16And that is what I'm having to deal with right now.

00:52:19Last week, I was confident.

00:52:23This week, I am starting to question that a little bit.

00:52:27But Ricky, you beat Oba Femi at No Mercy.

00:52:32What'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, was that just a moment that kind of lined up perfectly for me?

00:52:45That, you know, by the luck of the draw type thing?

00:52:49And that right there is hard to deal with in itself.

00:52:55I 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?

00:52:59I don't know, as if I have the answer in my back pocket.

00:53:02I truly don't know.

00:53:04And that is hard as well, having to give an answer like that.

00:53:10I also start to think about, am I just a deviation in Oba Femi's title reign?

00:53:15Are we just getting back on the highway?

00:53:18Did we just take a little detour and now, hey, we're back, guys?

00:53:21That right there is hard to deal with.

00:53:23When that voice sits right here and you have to hear it all the time, I'm doing my best to quiet that down.

00:53:34So what are you saying to yourself walking into Deadline with this kind of doubt?

00:53:38I do wonder if all of the work and the years that I have grinded away, this entire journey that I've been on,

00:53:49if I can't beat Oba Femi, that will be all for naught.

00:53:54That is what plays in my head.

00:53:57But you know what's the other thing that pops up a lot that kind of has a bigger voice in me?

00:54:02It's pressure.

00:54:04Pressure is my ally.

00:54:06You know what I do with pressure?

00:54:08I take it head on.

00:54:10Yes, it sucks for me.

00:54:12And yes, it doesn't feel good.

00:54:13But it's something that I'm able to use to my benefit if I really think about it.

00:54:19If all of the criticism that I'm receiving, if all of the doubt and naysayers,

00:54:23and everyone who starts to think, hey, Ricky just ain't it,

00:54:28if I don't beat Oba Femi, then who can?

00:54:33Right?

00:54:34But I can.

00:54:35Because I'm not going to let my journey just fall wayside because of this one man that's in my way.

00:54:42The impossible is possible when it comes to absolute Ricky Saints.

00:54:46And I am going to prove that to each and every single voice out there,

00:54:51the ones that are in here, even the ones out there.

00:54:54Why?

00:54:55Because I am Ricky Saints, Sarah, the NXT champion.

00:55:01Thank you so much.

00:55:03Good luck at Deadline.

00:55:05Well, the NXT champion is ready.

00:55:11San Antonio, get ready.

00:55:13Saints, Femi, for the NXT championship at Deadline.

00:55:18And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada.

00:55:36She is the EVOLV Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.

00:55:44And the champion, that woman right there, Kendall Gray, has a variety of suplexes in her arsenal.

00:56:08As we will see her put the Women's EVOLV championship on the line here tonight against Lainey Reed of Fatal Influence.

00:56:19And we got to welcome back to the desk, the voice of EVOLV, Peter Rosebergen.

00:56:23Are you ready for the women of EVOLV at State Center Stage?

00:56:26I am ready to have Kendall Gray shine in the most famous arena in the world.

00:56:32She's everything that EVOLV is 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.

00:56:44Come on.

00:56:45The woman who's just running around slapping people for no reason.

00:56:49You got a title match, don't you?

00:56:51Come, come, come, come.

00:56:53It is all about the women's EVOLV.

00:56:57You damn right it is, Victor.

00:56:58Championship.

00:57:05Whoa.

00:57:05There you go.

00:57:06I don't even get into this.

00:57:07There you go.

00:57:07Talking about me, too, because Kendall Gray right off ripping.

00:57:09Look, 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.

00:57:27But 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

00:57:34Reed, she'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 EVOLV.

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?

00:57:47Well, 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.

00:57:56But of course, our longtime champion, Callie Armstrong, has been incredible as well.

00:58:01There's a ton of talented women on EVOLV every Wednesday night.

00:58:06Kendall Gray right now putting on the brakes, going up, going over.

00:58:09Wow.

00:58:10Woo.

00:58:11Quick.

00:58:12Bad 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.

00:58:17But Lainey Reed, who has been in the, under the learning tree, so to speak, of J.C.

00:58:22Jane, 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.

00:58:28Kagan.

00:58:29Peter, what has stood out the most about Kendall Gray?

00:58:31Honestly, it's the attitude and the approach.

00:58:33Fair.

00:58:34She's a first person to the gym, last one out.

00:58:36She's at EVOLV.

00:58:37She's at every NXT show.

00:58:39Everywhere she can be, she is there.

00:58:40She lives at the PC.

00:58:42She dedicates her time, and you see the results in the win.

00:58:44Let's go, Kendall!

00:58:47Lainey Reed's starting to turn things around.

00:58:48And Booker, let's talk about Fatal Influence, because Fatal Influence can certainly turn this

00:58:52division upside down with a win here.

00:58:54We're talking about the drive vector, man.

00:58:56This is something we've been talking about for a long time before Influence getting back

00:59:01on track.

00:59:02Oh, wait a minute.

00:59:03Oh, nice counter for a moment.

00:59:05Wait a minute.

00:59:06I like this.

00:59:07I like this.

00:59:08Watch out, guys.

00:59:09Watch out.

00:59:11Kendall Gray might have just saw her championship reign flash right before her eyes in that moment.

00:59:17Oh, no.

00:59:18God.

00:59:19Gray just got wiped out as Lainey Reed about to crown herself champion.

00:59:24Women's Evolved championship on the line.

00:59:29The challenger has been in control of this matchup.

00:59:33And Booker Reed certainly has made and created moments for herself.

00:59:37And it all started with slapping the champion two weeks ago.

00:59:40You 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.

00:59:46Lainey Reed is pried for a victory tonight.

00:59:49And I can feel it in my bones, man.

00:59:51I like Khalil.

00:59:52Excuse me.

00:59:53You'll be great.

00:59:54But Lainey Reed, she's the future, man.

00:59:57She truly is.

00:59:58If Lainey Reed were to win this title, Peter, I mean, how would Reed and Fatal Influence be representing of all?

01:00:03Well, you read my mind.

01:00:04Can you imagine on Wednesday nights now Fatal Influence is on Evolve every week?

01:00:08In some ways it would be the silver lining of Kendall losing this match because it would be something to see.

01:00:13But I don't think Kendall Gray is going down easy tonight.

01:00:16Champion starting to fight back and high risk!

01:00:18Beautiful moonsault wiping out the challenger.

01:00:21And this certainly could be the turning point because we don't only talk about the championship that's on the line.

01:00:26We also talk about a man who is trying to create some decisions as you take a look at this moonsault.

01:00:31Again, perfectly placed.

01:00:33John Cena still to select five women who will compete in the Iron Survivor Challenge.

01:00:38Of course, Cena added the stipulation to our main event tonight.

01:00:41Win, 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.

01:00:50Beautiful shot there by Gray.

01:00:52Well, this is when Kendall Gray book steps up.

01:00:54Late 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.

01:01:01You gotta understand, Peter, when it comes to Booker T.

01:01:04He sees nothing but dollar signs in Lainey Reed.

01:01:07But the champion sees it as an obstacle.

01:01:09Well, you see dollars in Kendall Gray, too, don't you?

01:01:11Take nothing away from Kendall Gray, man.

01:01:12Less than two years in, she's champion, man.

01:01:14And you know what I say about a champion?

01:01:16Man, it makes you a whole lot better when you get that title around your waist right now.

01:01:19She's like, we just got caught.

01:01:21Got caught flipping.

01:01:22Oh, yes, man.

01:01:23Well, Wren Sinclair, the look on her face just turned around.

01:01:26That's it.

01:01:27We gotta be 10.

01:01:28We gotta be 10.

01:01:29We gotta be 10.

01:01:30For the title.

01:01:31Oh, that left shoulder just came off the mat.

01:01:34Take another look.

01:01:35Just look at how close, Peter, this was to evolve having a new women's champion.

01:01:40Yeah, maybe as close as it's been for Kendall Gray in her reign so far.

01:01:44Woo!

01:01:45You can do the timing of that from Laney Reed.

01:01:48I mean, she's late.

01:01:49Well, there is Wren Sinclair on the outside.

01:01:51You know that she's been trying to coach up in the Ren QCC.

01:01:55That being Kendall Gray, the champion, to train late, to understand she's gonna be in the deep waters as a champion.

01:02:02Is she a trainer or a cheerleader?

01:02:04Why is she out here?

01:02:05Why is she out here?

01:02:06Why is she out here?

01:02:07Why is she out here?

01:02:08You have an issue with it this week, but you didn't the last time?

01:02:09I'm just saying.

01:02:10I'm just saying.

01:02:11Well, then what?

01:02:12I'm not even gonna get into it.

01:02:13Oh, wait a minute.

01:02:14Oh, nice counter!

01:02:15What a slap!

01:02:16What a counter!

01:02:17What a cover and another near fall for Kendall Gray.

01:02:19Now Gray, staying right on top of the challenger, looking 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.

01:02:26Counter.

01:02:27Look, J.C. Jane.

01:02:28What the hell is J.C. Jane doing out here?

01:02:31The women's champion.

01:02:32And then there's Fallon Henley.

01:02:33She's got it locked in.

01:02:34Another champ.

01:02:35Oh!

01:02:36Well, what's the problem now, boy?

01:02:39I don't know.

01:02:40I'm just waiting to see.

01:02:41What are you talking about?

01:02:42I don't have anything to do.

01:02:43What are you talking about?

01:02:44Brandon, hey!

01:02:45What the hell?

01:02:46Charlie.

01:02:47Charlie Dempsey.

01:02:48Wait, wait.

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.

01:02:56Absolutely.

01:02:57Kendall Gray has to keep her eye on the prize.

01:02:59What the hell?

01:03:00Well, our official just made an executive decision.

01:03:12Kendall's shot that Charlie Dempsey's here.

01:03:13Wait a minute, guys.

01:03:14She got caught.

01:03:15Wait a minute.

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.

01:03:29Lady Bree's going up.

01:03:30She's going up for that big shot.

01:03:31She's going up to land that coup d'etat.

01:03:34Here we go, baby.

01:03:36Kendall Gray.

01:03:37Kendall Gray.

01:03:38Look.

01:03:39Hopping up.

01:03:40And we talked about a variety of suplexes.

01:03:42A German from the top.

01:03:44Oh.

01:03:45It looks like she's ready to enter the gray area.

01:03:49This is what Kendall does, Book.

01:03:50And New York City rising up for the shade of gray as gray continues to evolve.

01:04:00Here is your winner, and still, the Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.

01:04:11What a night, Peter.

01:04:13What a night, Peter, for Evolve.

01:04:16Oh, no.

01:04:17I 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, that does a lot to be thankful for them, including Wren Sinclair on the outside running

01:04:32a little bit of interference after Fatal Influence sucked their nose into this matchup.

01:04:36And then Wren just got to be thankful for Charlie Dempsey, who made his return to NXT.

01:04:41But while all that was going on, the referee using his discretion.

01:04:45Felix Fernandez said, it is time to get out because we got a championship showdown.

01:04:50And the champion rose to the occasion.

01:04:53Able to hit that big, super German suplex off the top.

01:04:57And what did you say to this?

01:04:58Entering the gray area.

01:05:00Well, she certainly did.

01:05:01And then bam!

01:05:02Shades of gray, baby.

01:05:03To wipe out Lainey Reed and to retain the Women's Evolve Championship.

01:05:09And as we've seen tonight, you do not want to miss Kendall Gray, Drake, and the rest of Evolve.

01:05:14Hey, that's crazy.

01:05:15Hey, look.

01:05:16We all heard what John Cena said earlier.

01:05:17Yeah, man.

01:05:18He sent him a dark horse to be the next big thing around here.

01:05:19Yeah, that's it.

01:05:20Hey, he damn right.

01:05:21Hey, it is.

01:05:22Hey, it is.

01:05:23And as much as I love these tag titles, I think it's about time for me to focus on bringing

01:05:25some singles gold to dark state.

01:05:26Show that we run everything around here, not just the tag division.

01:05:27Hey, but don't worry.

01:05:28Titles are still going to be in the family, and I'm about to go crazy in this on Survivor

01:05:48Day.

01:05:49What y'all talking about?

01:05:50Show that it don't matter if it's all four of us, two of us, one of us, bruh.

01:05:53It don't matter the number.

01:05:54Cause when we strike, ain't nobody safe, bruh.

01:05:58Hey, but let's go get eyes on this Tricky Miles match.

01:06:01Oh, yeah.

01:06:02Come on.

01:06:03We just getting started.

01:06:04Ain't that right?

01:06:07Well, we heard the men's selection.

01:06:09In moments, John Cena selects the field for the women's Iron Survivor at deadline.

01:06:14This happens next.

01:06:16The NXT women's division is overflowing with incredible talent, and these five superstars

01:06:27I've chosen to participate in this Iron Survivor challenge are a tremendous representation

01:06:32of that.

01:06:33Sol Ruka is the first name when it comes to athleticism and innovation.

01:06:37Very excited to see what she can do.

01:06:38Come deadline.

01:06:39It doesn't matter who's in that ring with me.

01:06:40I will be the sole survivor.

01:06:41Someone who's always believed in her ability.

01:06:42Every time we've spoken together personally, she has one question.

01:06:44When can I get a shot?

01:06:45This isn't just a fight.

01:06:46This is my moment.

01:06:47Lola Vice stays top.

01:06:50Lola Vice.

01:07:05Lola Vice, your time is now.

01:07:10The next superstar calls herself a standout.

01:07:17I don't just call myself the standout for no reason.

01:07:21And now, Kalani Jordan has the opportunity to prove it.

01:07:25I am the most elite athlete, because that foot in this ring.

01:07:29I admire strength, because it takes time, discipline,

01:07:32and the ability to overcome failure.

01:07:34Those are all necessary traits to succeed as a superstar.

01:07:37The juggernaut is here.

01:07:40All qualities Jordan Grace has.

01:07:42I have one goal in mind, and that's

01:07:44to 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, what a moment for this superstar.

01:08:09Your new Evolve Women's Champion has officially arrived!

01:08:16I am truly excited to see this match.

01:08:19Ladies, good luck.

01:08:20Well, the decision has been made.

01:08:26There is the field.

01:08:28There are the five.

01:08:29But only one will be the women's Iron Survivor.

01:08:32Do not miss Deadline.

01:08:38Well, John Cena set the field, and next week, those five women will take part in an Iron Survivor

01:08:45summit on the final NXT before Deadline.

01:08:48But that's not all, because these two won't be separated next week.

01:08:52Let 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.

01:09:03Now, 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.

01:09:37We've heard from John Cena a few times when it comes to the Iron Survivor Challenge match

01:09:42for 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!

01:10:07That's right.

01:10:15The former Survivor went out.

01:10:18Oh!

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.

01:10:30That's right.

01:10:32Say what?

01:10:33That's right.

01:10:35Uh-huh!

01:10:38Oh, yeah, man!

01:10:39Oh, yeah, man!

01:10:41Oh, yeah, man!

01:10:44That's true!

01:10:45Who gave you a towel?

01:10:50And his opponent, from Columbia, South Carolina, weighing in at 240 pounds.

01:10:58Say what?

01:10:59T-Rick Williams!

01:11:01T-Rick Williams!

01:11:02T-Rick Williams!

01:11:03T-Rick Williams!

01:11:04T-Rick Williams!

01:11:05Oh, yeah!

01:11:05It's about to get busy up in here.

01:11:08This is Madison Square.

01:11:10Oh my God!

01:11:11Get off your feet.

01:11:13Just like everybody in the highs, man.

01:11:16Ripping the towels out.

01:11:18But that man dripping in gold because he's going back to the top where he belongs, man.

01:11:25This, this is the beginning.

01:11:28Oh, yes!

01:11:30Imagine you have this much energy towards the end of the night and all big clothes line

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

01:11:40Deadline to get that guaranteed championship opportunity at New Year's Evil.

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

01:11:52should be champion right now.

01:11:54Trick should have made history.

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,

01:12:01Miles Boyne, who is very, very talented.

01:12:09And a nice drop kick from Miles Boyne quickly.

01:12:12He didn't get all of it, though, he didn't get all of it.

01:12:13End of the cover and a kick out.

01:12:15You think the added bonus, though, of the qualifying for the Iron Survivor

01:12:18gives Trick the advantage, and I say that because, here, Book,

01:12:21more big match experience, former Iron Survivor, which you've already brought up,

01:12:25but Boyne has been proving doubters wrong his entire life.

01:12:28Give Miles Boyne a lot of credit.

01:12:30I mean, he's here under the bright lights in New York City.

01:12:35He has a chance of a lifetime to go out there to beat Trick Williams,

01:12:38a two-time NXT champion.

01:12:41Now, looking to become a three-time NXT champion.

01:12:44That right there, that right there would give him a whole lot of clout

01:12:47around this business, trust me.

01:12:49He certainly has slowed this matchup down.

01:12:51And again, you talk about urgency.

01:12:53It's that time of year, deadline right around the corner.

01:12:56The final WWE premium live event of the year.

01:13:00And Trick Williams wants to represent the brand.

01:13:02He wants to again- Wait a minute.

01:13:04He 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.

01:13:17Trick has been in control and a nice suplex.

01:13:20Beautiful, got all of it, too.

01:13:21I mean, the velocity of that suplex.

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.

01:13:29The winner will 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 talking a little bit of trash right now.

01:13:43Do 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.

01:13:58Oh, man, that was close.

01:14:01That certainly was.

01:14:02And Miles Bourne on top.

01:14:05Can he keep his foot on the gas?

01:14:06Who's headed to Deadline?

01:14:08Back on NXT, who's headed to San Antonio, who's headed to Deadline?

01:14:18And I gotta give Trick a lot of credit because right before the commercial break,

01:14:20he was dropped by that patented Born 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, it tells me one thing right there.

01:14:33That that Miles Bourne may be, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:14:36That 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 gotta be thinking about that right now on December the 6th to get to Deadline,

01:14:46to get to that final premium live.

01:14:48And this would be a huge feather in the cap for Miles Bourne.

01:14:52I mean, Miles Bourne, like I said, the kid has a lot of talent,

01:14:54but he's dealing with a guy like Eric Trick Williams right now who has nothing to lose

01:15:00but everything to gain.

01:15:02And he's not gonna let it slip away in a match like this with 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 gotta go out here and hurt this man.

01:15:12You gotta break him down.

01:15:14You got to dog him.

01:15:15You got to do what you 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, especially 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.

01:15:39Miles Bourne's lifting that match by default.

01:15:42Am I right?

01:15:43Am I right?

01:15:43So what does he gotta do to change?

01:15:44No, no, 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, did 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'd go out here and get a victory.

01:15:59I mean, stand toe to toe.

01:16:01I mean, the thing is, it'd be that he could just take, you know, to that-

01:16:04It's that cradle, it's that cradle.

01:16:06Oh, wait a minute, 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.

01:16:12Another 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, and he got countered.

01:16:39Big power slam.

01:16:40Cover, isn't it, let's go.

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.

01:17:07If 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 Williams is thinking about.

01:17:14Well, our night started with Sean Legacy, not able to pick up the men's of all championships.

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 following 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.

01:17:41This 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.

01:18:08Beautiful.

01:18:08Beautiful, 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.

01:18:19I think Miles Bourne was maybe looking for some sort of submission.

01:18:21It was countered.

01:18:21Oh, big.

01:18:22Beautiful counter right there.

01:18:24Tripp said he bumped.

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.

01:19:03Kicked 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.

01:19:16That 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 Miles 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.

01:19:34I 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 got to 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.

01:20:16But you got to understand, Trick, Trick is going through a lot right now, man.

01:20:20You got to understand that.

01:20:22Trick, Trick, Trick.

01:20:22Rolling out the excuse book already is Booker T for his guy, but there's no excuses for

01:20:28Miles Bourne.

01:20:29He did what he set out to do.

01:20:31He dropped Trick last week.

01:20:33He did it for a second time.

01:20:35And this time, with a victory, he's headed to deadline.

01:20:38That 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.

01:21:24Dark 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.

01:21:39Miles Bourne earned his spot.

01:21:42Dion Lennox was, whoa.

01:21:46Hendry, Slater, Javon, the other Iron Survivors have arrived.

01:21:55What a face-off, because Dark State is looking into the eyes of four men who won't back down.

01:22:02sayaеры commons.

01:22:02Whoah.

01:22:03I

01:22:08whoah.

01:22:09Whoah.
