00:00:00Then.
00:00:08Now.
00:00:17Forever.
00:00:25Together.
00:00:30I feel like I cannot.
00:00:32Fatal influence can all be dipped in gold by the end of tonight.
00:00:36After the last week, JC Jane became the new women's champion.
00:00:40They have two more championship opportunities here in New York.
00:00:46As Trick Williams is looking to get some payback on his opponent that dropped him last week during Gold Rush Week 1.
00:00:53That brings us to his opponent, Myles Bourne, as these two look to settle their differences tonight.
00:00:59As we get ready to feel the fallout from last week's Gold Rush.
00:01:06As you can see, the NXT Universe is fired up.
00:01:11Welcome to NXT Gold Rush.
00:01:14I feel like I cannot lose.
00:01:16Hendry, Kale, Paige, Green.
00:01:18The mixed tag team titles from AAA are on the line.
00:01:21Yeah, I got a whole lot to prove.
00:01:24That talking is deep if you don't make no move.
00:01:27Green, Paige, retain.
00:01:31Leon Slater, Javon Evans.
00:01:33They got their hands on Dark State for the NXT tag team titles.
00:01:37Don't believe it in myself, but it's paying off.
00:01:40Wrestling with my demons and my fears ain't showing up.
00:01:44And Dark State retains.
00:01:48Sol Ruko, Blake Monroe, women's North American title down the line.
00:01:52And look at the knee.
00:01:53The awkwardness of the landing.

00:02:38NXT Women's Championship Online.
00:02:40The Main Event Week 1.
00:02:42No!
00:02:44Rewerzy's distracted, and is he right here?
00:02:48Tatum wants to do this the right way.
00:02:51What?
00:02:53J.C. Jane does it again.
00:02:57That two-timing dame just cost her so-called friend.
00:03:02It was Tatum's family that delivered the fatal blow.
00:03:07Tonight, as deadline approaches, the time to act is now.
00:03:13Who will see the select for deadline?
00:03:16We're gonna find out at Gold Rush.
00:03:19Tonight, more golden opportunities awaken in a theater at Madison Square Garden.
00:03:25The rise to fame and fortune continues at Gold Rush.
00:03:31It's the city that never sleeps, the Big Apple.
00:03:38We are in New York City.
00:03:40And NXT is back inside the theater at Madison Square Garden.
00:03:46And welcome to NXT Gold Rush.
00:03:55NXT Universe fired up for week number two of Gold Rush.
00:04:03NXT Universe fired up for week number two of Gold Rush.
00:04:07NXT Universe fired up for week number two of Gold Rush.
00:04:28WWE EVOLVE CHAMPIONSHIP!
00:04:39It's a doozy first from Augusta, Georgia weighing in at 210 pounds,
00:04:45Shawn Legacy!
00:04:49Major opportunity for this superstar, his opponent, and the brand EVOLVE.
00:04:58As Legacy right now looking to start building his own by finally capturing the EVOLVE championship.
00:05:06We want to welcome you in ringside because, Book, we got a guest from Hot 97, from ESPN,
00:05:12and the voice of EVOLVE, Peter Rosenberg.
00:05:16Guys, it is an honor to be here.
00:05:18It is a big deal.
00:05:19Well, thank you.
00:05:20Team!
00:05:21It is a big deal for everyone who works on EVOLVE to be a part of Gold Rush.
00:05:24So psyched to be here.
00:05:25What don't you do, by the way?
00:05:26What do you not do?
00:05:27Except introduce me to Peter Davidson.
00:05:30Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
00:05:31It was just an awkward moment.
00:05:32You wouldn't introduce him to a big A-list star, would you?
00:05:35So what's the haircut?
00:05:37What's wrong with the haircut?
00:05:38It sucks.
00:05:39Big time.
00:05:42I didn't mention the haircut.
00:05:46And his opponent, representing a man who prepped that weight in, 188 pounds,
00:05:56he is the WWE EVOLVE champion, Jackson Drake!
00:06:07Well, Peter, this is the opportunity to talk about all three of these individuals.
00:06:11Obviously, there is the champion, Jackson Drake, and he is being joined by Rob Stone's
00:06:17buddies, Swipe Right.
00:06:18Well, Rob dreams of that, because he's a weird old boomer who wants to hang out with
00:06:22college kids.
00:06:23But yes, that's Swipe Right and Jackson Drake, and they formed the Vanity Project.
00:06:27And frankly, love him or hate him, have been running roughshod, overevolved since we started
00:06:32this thing.
00:06:33Now, Ricky Brad on the outside as cheerleaders here tonight.
00:06:37There you see the NXT universe is what they think about these two individuals.
00:06:41And, well, Booker, what are you expecting out of these two on this stage?
00:06:45I mean, this is New York City.
00:06:46Big stage.
00:06:47Big stage here.
00:06:48The God Man.
00:06:49I'm gonna tell you right now, John Legacy, I got a chance to see this kid at Reality
00:06:53Wrestling, and he's very talented.
00:06:55Look at this Jackson Drake.
00:06:56This kid is very, very confident, man.
00:06:59This is gonna be good.
00:07:02NXT Universe again fired up right from the get-go.
00:07:04I'm fired up.
00:07:05Because they know they're getting to see the future, the future being now.
00:07:08And, Peter, what does this mean for Evolve to be represented here at Gold Rush?
00:07:14It's a huge deal, man, for Legacy and Drake, who have been the faces of this show since
00:07:21we started it, man.
00:07:22They work so hard.
00:07:25And these guys have been the faces, faces of the ID program, where so many young wrestlers
00:07:30are getting the opportunity to showcase their skills, and none have done it better than
00:07:33Legacy and Drake.
00:07:34So it's a huge night for them.
00:07:35Talk about week two here at Gold Rush, the Evolve Women's Championship, to also be defended
00:07:39here tonight by Kendall Gray.
00:07:41Booker, I gotta get your insight on the WBID program.
00:07:46You talked about reality wrestling.
00:07:48You got a lot of your talent getting a chance to springboard perhaps to that next level
00:07:53like one of my guys, Eli Knight, just got ID'd.
00:07:56I'm gonna tell you right now, guys, get ready for a treat with Eli Knight.
00:08:00I've been enjoying Eli Knight already, Book.
00:08:02You are not lying.
00:08:03Shawn Legacy firing up everyone here in New York.
00:08:07And look, Legacy has competed in the men's speed tournament.
00:08:09He was close to winning the North American Championship.
00:08:12With athleticism like that.
00:08:13Moonsault!
00:08:14Cover!
00:08:15And a kick out.
00:08:16Almost crowning a new Evolve Champion.
00:08:18There you see the rest of the swipe right on the outside.
00:08:21The vanity crowd.
00:08:22That's what you're gonna have to watch for all night.
00:08:24Because at some point, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes are gonna find a way to inject themselves
00:08:29into this match.
00:08:30You know what?
00:08:31I like that name.
00:08:32Ricky Smokes.
00:08:33Ricky Smokes.
00:08:34Oh, yes, babe.
00:08:35I like that.
00:08:36I think you understand the origin story.
00:08:37Well, he might find himself into Booker's favorite five.
00:08:41That's what it's called, right?
00:08:42Fave.
00:08:43Fave five.
00:08:44I didn't hip it up enough for you.
00:08:45His legacy right now in control.
00:08:47And Legacy Drake were two of the four to compete to crown the Evolve Champion several months ago.
00:08:52Yeah, exactly.
00:08:53And Jackson Drake actually scored that pin on Sean Legacy.
00:08:57And Legacy's been chasing Jackson Drake ever since.
00:09:00And Drake has just had his number repeatedly.
00:09:02And that's a great point, you break.
00:09:03Because, Peter, if Legacy were to lose, in your opinion, does it go back to the end of the line?
00:09:08Listen, I don't know if you go back to the end of the line.
00:09:11Because Legacy has had impressive wins consistently along the way.
00:09:15But at the same time...
00:09:16Come on, Rep!
00:09:17And again, there it is.
00:09:19Look, if Unpromote Jackson Drake, Sean Legacy, if he lose this match, he damn well will go back to the end of the line.
00:09:26And I...
00:09:27And the reason I say that, this kid is good.
00:09:29He can be a champion in a heartbeat.
00:09:31Trust me.
00:09:32Oh, turning things around.
00:09:33I say that to Gary Wilson.
00:09:34Gary Wilson's gonna have his hands full in this match.
00:09:35Another cover, hook of the leg, and another near fall.
00:09:37Because the two men on the outside have stuck their nose where it has them along on several occasions on a ball.
00:09:43Well, this is the thing you have to understand.
00:09:44Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.
00:09:46Smokes is an idiot.
00:09:47Let me just start there.
00:09:48He does like a fake Tony Yayo dance.
00:09:51As you see the athleticism from Sean Legacy.
00:09:53That's why they call him Superbook.
00:09:55Just knocked that one out of the park.
00:09:57But that's what Baylor and Smokes are.
00:10:00They're a couple of novices.
00:10:02Oh, baby.
00:10:03There you go.
00:10:04And one more time.
00:10:05This time, Sean Legacy taking care of business.
00:10:07The door almost opened.
00:10:08But Legacy able to stay in front.
00:10:10Up.
00:10:11Over.
00:10:12Look at the athleticism.
00:10:13Look at the counter with a suplex into the corner.
00:10:15Wow.
00:10:16Drake turning things around.
00:10:18Who's walking out with the Evolve Men's Championship?
00:10:22Back on NXT Gold Rush from the theater in Madison Square Garden.
00:10:28This for the Evolve Championship.
00:10:30And it's week two of Gold Rush.
00:10:32It's going to be a big night still to come.
00:10:33John Cena to decide who is in, who is out of deadline.
00:10:37But what a kick from Jackson Drake into the cover to retain his title.
00:10:42And a kick out.
00:10:43Peter, you can be honest with us.
00:10:44All right.
00:10:45Does Rob Stone actually get invited to these swipe right parties, so to speak?
00:10:50Because bam!
00:10:51Oh!
00:10:52Big kick from the champion dropping the challenge.
00:10:54Let me put it this way.
00:10:55A few weeks ago, I heard Robert Stone at the PC hanging out with Brad Bale and Ricky Smokes,
00:11:00begging them to explain what 6-7 meant.
00:11:02No, he's not getting invited to anything.
00:11:04Rob Stone very busy, it seems, over at TNA with what we saw last week as Drake charging in.
00:11:11Got caught by Legacy.
00:11:13And Legacy!
00:11:20Answering right back.
00:11:21Big knee strike.
00:11:22Followed it with a kick.
00:11:23Combination off.
00:11:24Does it connect with a drop kick?
00:11:25Wow!
00:11:26Right to the ribs!
00:11:27Gotta give it to these young guys going at that limit.
00:11:29Oh!
00:11:30In the middle of that ring.
00:11:31Beautiful suplex there by.
00:11:33Nice German suplex by Legacy.
00:11:35And Legacy right now out to go in.
00:11:38Big kick connecting.
00:11:40And this is some of that innovation that Evolve is always being known for.
00:11:43And Peter, has this match up thus far lived up to your expectations as Drake just able
00:11:48to get out of the ring.
00:11:49That was so smart.
00:11:50So far, this has had everything that these guys bring to the ring every single time.
00:11:54And you know, Shawn Legacy at some point is going to look for Shambles as you see him fly!
00:11:59Oh, he just left the Vanity Project in Shambles.
00:12:03High-wrist maneuver just paid off!
00:12:06Guinea capitalized!
00:12:08And Legacy winning over those here in New York City.
00:12:12One more time!
00:12:14Oh, baby!
00:12:15Oh, yes!
00:12:16Up! Over!
00:12:17And the second time, the charm!
00:12:18Sit down!
00:12:19Title on the line!
00:12:20Center of the ring!
00:12:21Oh, near fall!
00:12:23And look, gotta wonder what Ethan Page is thinking right now.
00:12:26who saw was victorious last week.
00:12:27He has liked what he has seen in the champion.
00:12:30That being Jackson Drake.
00:12:32But Booker, you gotta like what you're seeing in the challenge of Shawn Legacy.
00:12:35I like both of these guys, but I agree.
00:12:36I mean, this Jackson Drake, you can...
00:12:38Oh, baby!
00:12:39Oh, you see that?
00:12:40Reversal!
00:12:41Reversal!
00:12:42Reversal!
00:12:43I see the youth in this kid, but he is so advanced in his knowledge of this game.
00:12:48His IQ is definitely on another level.
00:12:51Oh, yes, baby!
00:12:53More of that innovative offense.
00:12:55I can't believe that he kicked out!
00:12:57I mean, this is what you're seeing every Wednesday, Peter, on Evolve.
00:13:02Innovative offense like this.
00:13:05Jackson Drake is such a freakish athlete, man.
00:13:08And by the way, don't let the baby face fool you.
00:13:10He's a kid, but he's been doing this.
00:13:12Man!
00:13:13Debuted in 2017.
00:13:14Goes way back with Javon Evans to North Carolina.
00:13:17This guy's worked for a long time and has an incredible, incredible ability in the ring.
00:13:21Lots of different, interesting, innovative moves.
00:13:23We've seen the impact that Javon Evans has made in the WWE over the last few weeks here in New York City.
00:13:28But Shawn Legacy got his hands on the champion!
00:13:32Wait a minute!
00:13:33Both superstars balancing.
00:13:36Champion trying to break away!
00:13:38Wow!
00:13:39I think that was like a backflip moves!
00:13:40Power pass for the title and another near fall!
00:13:43What the hell!
00:13:44What the hell!
00:13:46Woo!
00:13:47My guys are tearing the house down!
00:13:48Smokes Baylor out of their minds on the outside!
00:13:53Look at this history for these guys right here competing here in Madison Square Garden.
00:14:04Let me tell you, I know the butterflies are all over the place, but these guys will definitely kick those butterflies to line them and fly straight because this is some hell of a competition that we're checking out here tonight.
00:14:12Another thing too, I mean Peter, think about it, these two are setting the tone for week two here at Gold Rush.
00:14:18Absolutely.
00:14:19And you think about the incredible stars we have on this show tonight, for 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 hoisted up with a double gut buster!
00:14:37Got all of it!
00:14:38He got more than that, legacy's hurt.
00:14:41Drake now, just draping the challenger over the top rope.
00:14:47And with pinpoint precision right across the back of the neck.
00:14:53And charging right back in!
00:14:56He's out.
00:14:57That's the unaliving baby, that's hard to get off from.
00:14:59He's out.
00:15:00Into the cover.
00:15:01He's out.
00:15:02And Drake continues to build his legacy.
00:15:05Wow.
00:15:06Here is your winner, and still, the WWE Evil Champion, Jackson Drake!
00:15:17Peter, we can't take anything away from either of these two competitors,
00:15:20truly showcasing what the future is about here in the WWE.
00:15:25It'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.
00:15:34And once Jackson Drake is able to hit the unaliving, it's just too hard to get up from.
00:15:40A big victory, a big moment for Jackson Drake and Evolve.
00:15:47You're looking down.
00:16:01Yeah, you hear this?
00:16:02Look, 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?
00:16:14I don't really think it's complicated.
00:16:16There's nothing complicated about the fact that you are legitimately a world champion caliber talent.
00:16:22You should be playing second to nobody.
00:16:25And yet here you are, sitting here, stressed.
00:16:28Probably 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, Soruka.
00:16:38So, you better not be buying what this guy shout.
00:16:42Okay, Marles.
00:16:44This is very typical of you.
00:16:46Always sticking your nose in everyone else's business.
00:16:48And yet tonight you have such big business.
00:16:51Biggest match in my career, but I'm locked in.
00:16:54Oh, are you?
00:16:56Hmm.
00:16:57I know Trick.
00:16:58I know Trick very, very well.
00:17:00And that is a man who does things the right way.
00:17:03Only focuses on one person, himself.
00:17:06And yet here you are, focusing on everybody else.
00:17:09And that just means I'll never have to focus on you.
00:17:19Miles 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?
00:17:50To me, success is simply just fulfillment that you did the best with life.
00:18:11And however that's gonna be different for anyone, I 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.
00:18:27There'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.
00:18:33But 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.
00:18:57on December 13th.
00:19:00Here we go.
00:19:02Here we go.
00:19:08Here we go.
00:19:17Here we go.
00:19:18Let's go.
00:19:22Zarya.
00:19:34Zarya!
00:19:38Do we heard from Sol Ruka oczekiwania tyśnicy,
00:19:44She is not with Zarya for this championship opportunity.
00:19:58Reminder, a 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?
00:20:14And indeed is your guy who is now the Men's Speed Champion.
00:20:27I trained him, I trained him.
00:20:28If I had a dollar.
00:20:30I trained him to be a monster man.
00:20:33Take no prison, step on some toes, and keep on walking, Jack.
00:20:39I gotta, you know, before this starts, and again, Zarya looking over,
00:20:43there is no Sol Ruka.
00:20:44Did Zarya do the right thing last week?
00:20:47She just showed how much she truly cares for her friend, for her partner, Sol Ruka,
00:20:51when she threw in that top.
00:20:52You 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.
00:20:58I don't believe in that throwing in the top.
00:21:00Did Zarya do the right thing?
00:21:02That's the question.
00:21:03Well, that's what I asked you, and we're 20 seconds into this matchup.
00:21:05Zarya is alone.
00:21:06That has to mess with her mind.
00:21:07When you think about with Stevie Ray, when he wasn't in your corner early on in your career,
00:21:12did it not, oh, 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.
00:21:17That's a better way of putting it, yes.
00:21:19Yeah, I understand that.
00:21:20I mean, Sol Ruka not being out here could be a factor.
00:21:24Shoulders down, covered.
00:21:25But, but, but Zarya is trying to cap, oh, the first title here in NXT.
00:21:29All right?
00:21:30That's, that's big.
00:21:31That's a big move right there.
00:21:32It is a numbers advantage in favor of Fatal Influence as we're just about 60 seconds
00:21:37off the clock here.
00:21:38What are you talking about?
00:21:39It's a little number of game here.
00:21:40There's two women on the outside with Fallon.
00:21:42Fallon is taking care of business.
00:21:43Zarya is doing her work.
00:21:44Right now we've 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 of Fatal Influence as we saw last week.
00:21:51And, oh, up, over, count, cover, kick out.
00:21:53As we saw when J.C. Jane recaptured the NXT Women's Championship.
00:21:58Fallon getting the shoulders down, crucifix style.
00:22:00And a near fall.
00:22:02And Fatal Influence has to be riding high after last week.
00:22:05And let's call it what it is.
00:22:06They could have all three championships by the end of tonight.
00:22:10Sitting down, though, is Zarya.
00:22:11Into the cover.
00:22:12Another 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.
00:22:17I feel like it's going to happen.
00:22:18I feel like Fatal Influence is going to 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.
00:22:25And we're talking about all three titles.
00:22:27It's Fallon looking to capture the women's speed title.
00:22:29It's Reed who's on the outside.
00:22:31It's Kendall Gray for the Evolve Women's Championship here tonight.
00:22:35There's almost two minutes off the clock in this speed championship matchup.
00:22:40Now 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
00:22:49has flown into the cover in a near fall.
00:22:51I mean, the frustration just boils over, man.
00:22:54I mean, sometimes it's the old saying, that's all I can stand.
00:22:58I can't stand no more.
00:23:00You've heard that before, right?
00:23:02Heard you say it, I think, a time or two.
00:23:03And Zara right now could be looking for some sort of submission.
00:23:06That 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
00:23:13here to try to step through, step over and turn.
00:23:17And yes, it is a Texas cloverleaf here in New York City with two minutes, 20 seconds.
00:23:22Is Fallon Henley, you can hear her screaming.
00:23:27So close right now.
00:23:27Can she hang out, Booker?
00:23:28There's still two minutes, 15 seconds and counting.
00:23:31And I tell you what, you don't see Fallon Henley about to tap.
00:23:37You 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.
00:23:46I see what you're doing, Booker, is we're under two minutes left in this matchup.
00:23:50And you got to wonder if there's added pressure, too, on Zaria's shoulders.
00:23:53Sol had to relinquish this title weeks ago.
00:23:56Zaria vowed to win it back, but just went face first.
00:23:59Fallon, though, on almost one good leg, just walked into a big right foot.
00:24:03I can tell you right now, it's a lot of pressure.
00:24:05And the thing is, who do you think Zaria is fighting for right now?
00:24:08You think she's fighting for Sol Winkle?
00:24:11Do you really think that?
00:24:11I don't know.
00:24:12Do you really think that?
00:24:13I don't know.
00:24:13Let me tell you something.
00:24:14Zaria wanted to be in the same place that Sol Winkle wanted to be in.
00:24:17All right?
00:24:18And that's at the top of the food chain.
00:24:20Come on, man.
00:24:21I don't doubt what you're saying, Booker, is we've got a minute 20 left.
00:24:24And that could be the knockout blow.
00:24:26Fallon so wise to roll to the outside.
00:24:29A little bit of space right there.
00:24:30I like the action right there by Fallon Henley.
00:24:32Oh, Zaria rolling out here, too.
00:24:3470 seconds left in this matchup.
00:24:37The Women's Speed Championship on the line.
00:24:39Fallon Henley is such a decorated competitor.
00:24:41Zaria, who is yet to win a championship.
00:24:44And we are now under 60 seconds here in the theater at Madison Square Garden.
00:24:51And this is what we're talking about, the numbers advantage.
00:24:52Get your head.
00:24:54Providing this distraction.
00:24:55Fallon Henley.
00:24:57Two feet to the face.
00:24:59You see that?
00:24:59That's teamwork.
00:25:00Teamwork.
00:25:01Teamwork.
00:25:01Teamwork.
00:25:02No, it's cutting corners.
00:25:03Zaria lost focus right there, Vic.
00:25:07She lost focus.
00:25:0835 seconds.
00:25:10Fallon off the top.
00:25:11High cross body.
00:25:12Oh, rolling through.
00:25:14We're under 30 seconds now.
00:25:15Zaria looking around.
00:25:18Trying to overpower.
00:25:20Hoist up.
00:25:21Muscle up.
00:25:22Wow.
00:25:22Fallon Henley.
00:25:2320 seconds.
00:25:2420 seconds, Booker.
00:25:25DDT from Fallon.
00:25:28We got a new champ.
00:25:29We got a new champ.
00:25:30Oh, 13 seconds and counting.
00:25:32We're inside the final 10 seconds.
00:25:3410, 5, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3.
00:25:41Trying to get it.
00:25:42Trying to hoist her up.
00:25:44Hit.
00:25:51What's the decision here, Book?
00:25:55I'm looking over it.
00:25:56Look at this.
00:25:58Mike Roman.
00:25:59No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:26:00This is not how this is gonna end.
00:26:05We 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.
00:26:24Referee, ring the bell.
00:26:26Well, that's a hell of a decision from our general manager.
00:26:29He was doing a hell of a job, man.
00:26:32The time limit has expired.
00:26:34These two are continuing.
00:26:36You heard what she said for the women's speed championship between Zarya and Fallon.
00:26:41With 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.
00:26:49Who'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.
00:27:06We're in New York City.
00:27:08We are going to crown a champion.
00:27:10And it could be right here, right now for Fallon and a kick out by Zarya.
00:27:15Again, Zarya fighting with so much internal pressure.
00:27:19Wanting to do this for Sol Ruka.
00:27:21Yes, we heard what Sol had to say earlier.
00:27:23She 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.
00:27:30But Zarya said she did it in the best interest for her partner.
00:27:34In the best interest for her best friend.
00:27:37But that brings us to right here, right now.
00:27:39Fighting for a little bit more than just herself.
00:27:41As Zarya taken down.
00:27:42Looking for the rings of Saturn.
00:27:44No wasted motion by Fallon Henley here, man.
00:27:47So efficient.
00:27:49And a move is in a game plan here tonight.
00:27:52Looking to walk away the new speed champion.
00:27:54Overpowered.
00:27:55Oh, wait a minute.
00:27:55Overpowered.
00:27:56Wait a minute.
00:27:56With the crucifix.
00:27:58Another kick out against Sudden Death.
00:28:00First pitfall.
00:28:01First.
00:28:02Big right hand.
00:28:03Good point for the first knockout as well.
00:28:06As Fallon right to the throat.
00:28:08Yes, go!
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.
00:28:15Laney Reed here tonight.
00:28:16But things not looking great for Fallon.
00:28:19Who just got tossed.
00:28:22Fallon who just got dropped.
00:28:24Oh, I'm sorry right now.
00:28:26Here we go, big pumpkin.
00:28:28Rosario right now is rocking.
00:28:30She's starting to roll.
00:28:31Able to duck one time.
00:28:32Big headbutt.
00:28:34But held onto the wrist.
00:28:35Hoisting up this overhead toss of Fallon Henley.
00:28:40I mean, you got to be impressed with Rosario, are you not?
00:28:42At this juncture.
00:28:43I've always been impressed with Rosario.
00:28:45The thing is, I wonder how impressed Rosario has been with herself.
00:28:49She should have been in championship championship.
00:28:51Roll through, roll through, roll through.
00:28:54Yes.
00:28:56Big spear.
00:28:58Good night.
00:28:58On Fallon.
00:28:59There he is, there he is.
00:29:01But how wise is Zarya?
00:29:02Zarya quickly going right to the outside.
00:29:03Hey!
00:29:06Laney 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.
00:29:13Is Fallon getting back up, Shining Wizard, right to the temple of Zarya.
00:29:19It followed it right up, bam!
00:29:21Oh, that's a definitive victory right there for you, baby.
00:29:25Oh, yeah!
00:29:26And in sudden death, Fallon is a champion once more.
00:29:32I predicted it.
00:29:33Here's your winner and the new women's speed champion, Fallon Henley!
00:29:44You predicted something of it for, ha, ha, ha, I told you!
00:29:53Because now two-thirds of Fatal Influence have gold.
00:29:58This match went into sudden death there, that'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, bam!
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.
00:30:33All right, Shiloh Hill here.
00:30:35And here's the download.
00:30:37So, a little bit about my past.
00:30:40I'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.
00:30:46I would be Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:30:48One time I jumped off the couch to try to loot Thes, 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,
00:30:55because my dad actually passed away right before my senior year at Stanford.
00:30:59And he had given me this WrestleMania shirt.
00:31:02And it was my favorite shirt.
00:31:04It reminded me of him.
00:31:05And 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.
00:31:18Because of him, I've worked every job from being a logger to doing construction to working in a slaughterhouse.
00:31:24That was fun.
00:31:25And I've worked in a hotel.
00:31:27Can 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.
00:31:34So my tooth actually got knocked out in training right when I started with WWE.
00:31:38And I remember when it happened, all the medical staff ran over.
00:31:40And 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.
00:31:53And 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 got to go.
00:32:07I'll see you soon.
00:32:12Who will the Intercontinental Champion John Cena select?
00:32:17We all find out next.
00:32:26As my in-ring career in WWE winds down,
00:32:29I've remained steadfast to my goal to lead this business better than I found it.
00:32:33The future of WWE is what NXT is all about.
00:32:36That's why I asked Ava, the NXT General Manager,
00:32:38for the privilege of selecting the participants
00:32:40of this year's Iron Survivor Challenge.
00:32:45This unique match has the ability to launch a superstar's career to that next level.
00:32:50And when you talk about the future of this business,
00:32:52no two names come to mind faster than Javon Evans and Leon Slater from TNA.
00:32:57Everybody here at NXT knows
00:32:58that when the young is in charge and young OG is in the same ring,
00:33:02we make some matches.
00:33:03A pair of 21-year-olds who are way ahead of their time.
00:33:07Fun to watch.
00:33:08I look for big things.
00:33:09The next spot goes to a man who is the definition of self-made superstar.
00:33:24It's Joe Hendrick.
00:33:25Again, right on.
00:33:34He built his name from the ground up and made himself impossible to ignore.
00:33:38Say my name.
00:33:40Believe me, I will appear.
00:33:43I believe in Joe Hendrick.
00:33:49The next selection is a college football captain at Oregon State University
00:33:52who has now embraced his transition to the WWE and has become a dominant force.
00:33:57That's Deion Lennox right there.
00:33:58He's got a lot of adrenaline flowing through his body.
00:34:01And people 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.
00:34:13And 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.
00:34:21Miles Bourne 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.
00:34:29That makes tonight's main event one you can't miss.
00:34:34My time is up.
00:34:35Gentlemen, your time is now.
00:34:38Good luck.
00:34:40It's the final premium live event of the year in San Antonio.
00:34:44There is the field.
00:34:45But who earns the last spot?
00:34:47Will it be Tripp Williams or Miles Bourne?
00:34:49We'll find out in our main event.
00:34:51It's not over until the end.
00:34:52It's not over until the end.
00:34:54It's not over until the end.
00:34:55It's not over until the end.
00:34:56It's not over until the end.
00:35:11The following contest scheduled for one fall is a triple threat match for
00:35:16for the TNA Knockout World 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 Deadline.
00:35:37That decision still to come.
00:35:39We just saw the decision for the men.
00:35:41And how about that main event still to come?
00:35:45Tripp Williams, Miles Bourne.
00:35:47Who gets in?
00:35:48Next, from Chongqing China, Lee Ying Lee.
00:36:06Lee Ying Lee looking to bring the TNA Knockouts title home.
00:36:17Who will walk out with the gold tonight?
00:36:20Tonight!
00:36:28Time for tonight's NXT Focus.
00:36:30Oh, Tata.
00:36:39Don'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 follow them.
00:36:49And ultimately, it led straight to your downfall.
00:36:53What the hell, Izzy?
00:36:55And I'm sure you're going to sit here and cry about it like you always do.
00:36:58It was Tata's family that delivered the fatal blow for Jane to reign again.
00:37:05But don't worry, I'll explain everything next week.
00:37:08And remember, Tata, it is what it is.
00:37:11I don't know how Izzy sleeps at night.
00:37:24Absolute betrayal last week.
00:37:26And their opponent, from Boynton Beach, Florida, she is the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Kalani Jordan!
00:37:45Has 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.
00:37:52Look, you're not too far gone to know it's about business, Victor.
00:37:57Come on.
00:37:58It's not. It's about checks.
00:38:00Championship.
00:38:01It's about championships.
00:38:02Legacy. History.
00:38:03Hall of Fame.
00:38:04Well, you added more to your shtick because we got a special guest here in attendance with us tonight.
00:38:09It is TNA President Carlos Silva.
00:38:11And when we talk about championship, he would love to have this specific title back on his brand at TNA.
00:38:20Along with Tommy Dreamer, that was good eyes on you.
00:38:25TNA in full effect, in full force here tonight.
00:38:29There's support behind Leigh Yingling.
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.
00:38:42They 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.
00:38:55Hey, whoa.
00:38:56Jordan saved the match for a second.
00:38:58They got 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 have to say, Kalani Jordan, she can fight a champion in matches like this.
00:39:11She don't have to win this match, bitch.
00:39:13She just don't have to win this, if you understand what I'm saying.
00:39:16It's a fair point that you're making, so 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?
00:39:24I mean, Jordan Grace definitely should be the favorite in a matchup, like this big former
00:39:29Knockouts Champion on multiple occasions.
00:39:31Yes, she should be, but right now, I must give her 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, was 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.
00:39:49That is into the cover.
00:39:51Lei, Ying, Li.
00:39:53In 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 Orleans?
00:40:09You know, that's the thing.
00:40:10I don't know a lot about Lee in 88, but I think she has an opportunity right now.
00:40:15She has a chance to make a case for John Cena to actually make Hooskaw a whole lot easier.
00:40:20She's going to hell to come like that.
00:40:22She couldn't find herself into Deadline as we saw earlier with some of the decisions.
00:40:26Oh, baby!
00:40:27Oh, she's feeling it!
00:40:28That were made it bad.
00:40:29Big 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.
00:40:36She 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!
00:40:50Oh, no!
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 knockouts title.
00:41:08And it was Jordan who walked away that night with a victory.
00:41:11And I'm talking about Kalani, not Grace.
00:41:13And that's two Ds right to 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 a strategy here at NXT.
00:41:24Oh!
00:41:25What's been working.
00:41:26Oh, yes!
00:41:27A little Grace under pressure and a kick out.
00:41:29You know what's been working for her?
00:41:30But, you know, before it hadn't been working since she's got here at NXT.
00:41:33She needs to chase her just a little bit.
00:41:36Well, Jordan Grace is trying her best to help Kalani Jordan,
00:41:40unless, as we mentioned, it was Kalani giving advice, trying to be friendly.
00:41:44Kalani, though, look at that double stomp to the spine.
00:41:47That's the problem I'm talking about, right?
00:41:49Need to reassess.
00:41:50Why is she here at NXT?
00:41:52Why is it?
00:41:53Well, that's a question you're going to have to ask her.
00:41:55Maybe we can get Johnny Russo to write you a sit-down interview with her,
00:41:57and you can actually use your journalistic skills to get to the bottom of it then, Book.
00:42:01Well, Jordan Grace gets caught for a moment and a BAM!
00:42:15Big DDT into the cover to retain in a near fall.
00:42:20And a near fall.
00:42:21We should point out that when it comes to Kalani Jordan,
00:42:24she did just successfully defend her championship at TNA's turning point.
00:42:29So she has been a fighting champion on both brands.
00:42:32We saw it get to Trick Williams.
00:42:34Will it get to Kalani Jordan?
00:42:36Whoa!
00:42:38Nasty!
00:42:39She's defending her championship, and she's done that.
00:42:41That makes her a team, a true world champion right there, Vic.
00:42:45And you can tell, just look at the body length.
00:42:48Look at the confidence.
00:42:49Look at the million dollar smile, man.
00:42:52Hey, Kalani now, looking for that move.
00:42:55Taking out the competition.
00:42:58It's the champion standing tall, but will be the champion walking out with the gold.
00:43:04Let's go, Rodney!
00:43:06TNA Knockouts Championship is on the line.
00:43:10Triple threat match.
00:43:11Kalani Jordan, the champion, with a frog splash.
00:43:14Into the cover, and whoa!
00:43:17In the nick of time, man.
00:43:19I mean, barely.
00:43:21And for Kalani Jordan, there is no champion's advantage in this matchup.
00:43:26She does not need to be factored in the decision to lose the title.
00:43:29Check out the frog splash.
00:43:30Bam!
00:43:31Check out the impact as well.
00:43:34Well, all three of these women have been bringing the best out of the other.
00:43:39All for the right.
00:43:40All for the privilege to be the TNA Knockouts champion.
00:43:45And we've talked about it a few times for Kalani Jordan.
00:43:48She was kicked out of the locker room, removed from the locker room for siding with TNA.
00:43:56And it's really backfired a little bit against her, because that's something that Jordan Grace was trying to help her with.
00:44:01Trying to mentor her with.
00:44:02But for Kalani Jordan, she's doing it herself.
00:44:05Lei Yingling able to duck for a moment.
00:44:07And right now, we get a few counters between all three of these women.
00:44:11What are you talking about?
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.
00:44:16Here we go.
00:44:17Wait a minute.
00:44:18Cover.
00:44:19To breathe in.
00:44:20Title.
00:44:21Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:44:22One more, one more, one more, one more, one more.
00:44:23Another near fall.
00:44:24Let's just let Kalani Jordan know that she can't trust anybody.
00:44:26Nobody likes her.
00:44:27It's not about friends or anything like that.
00:44:28Take that shot out right there by Lee.
00:44:30Drop kick, Samoan drop combination, two for one.
00:44:33And look, let's call it what it is.
00:44:35We saw Carlos Silva, who is here.
00:44:37TNA desperately wants the title back in the Impact.
00:44:41You know, I wouldn't necessarily see it that way.
00:44:43I mean, I think Carlos Silva like what Kalani Jordan has done with that championship.
00:44:49She's elevated it.
00:44:50You gotta give her a credit.
00:44:51I think Kalani's done a wonderful job as champion.
00:44:53I think she's also opened a lot of eyes.
00:44:55And I do think, to your point, sometimes.
00:44:56Whoa!
00:44:57Wow!
00:44:58Wait a minute.
00:44:59Look at this little juggernaut.
00:45:00Look at this little juggernaut.
00:45:01And whoo!
00:45:02Another near fall.
00:45:03Jordan Grace so close.
00:45:06So close.
00:45:07Jordan needs to tap into that juggernaut moniker.
00:45:10Another look.
00:45:12I think there was juggernaut.
00:45:15There.
00:45:16Oh.
00:45:17Juggernaut get rolling downhill, get a lot of steam.
00:45:20It's almost impossible to stop her.
00:45:23I mean, I think she needs that right now.
00:45:25Needs to get back in this thing, Vic.
00:45:27As I mentioned before, looking to become a four-time knockouts world champion.
00:45:32And she could be looking for some high-impact offense.
00:45:37Looking around.
00:45:38Kalani Jordan nowhere to be found.
00:45:40Laying Lee right now in control.
00:45:44And if this turns into a striking contest, I gotta give the TNA knockout the advantage.
00:45:51I gotta give Jordan Grace a whole lot of, a lot of advantages towards the power.
00:45:57But right now, Lee is showing a lot of different styles up on top.
00:46:03Wait a minute.
00:46:05Oh, Kalani.
00:46:06Big time.
00:46:07A little bit of wasteland dropping out.
00:46:09One of her challengers turned around, saw the second one.
00:46:12That being Jordan Grace.
00:46:13Big strike in her own right.
00:46:15Think about Kalani Jordan.
00:46:16She's not running away from the fight here tonight.
00:46:18She's riding the middle of, actually, I think she's driving a whole lot of the fight here tonight, Vic.
00:46:23A lot of animosity.
00:46:24Both women up.
00:46:25Whoa!
00:46:26Whoa!
00:46:27Whoa!
00:46:28Will it be enough and again?
00:46:33Oh, that was close.
00:46:35That was one hell of an awkward, nasty Spanish fly.
00:46:40But right now, oh, I think Lee was trying to lock in his submission.
00:46:43Wasn't quite able to...
00:46:45Well, maybe she was because Kalani Jordan was...
00:46:47Oh, there it is!
00:46:48Look at the technique.
00:46:50Look at the technique on Lee right there.
00:46:52Lee digging back.
00:46:55You see the better than you.
00:46:56There's Jordan.
00:46:57Grace.
00:46:58Right place.
00:46:59Right time.
00:47:03I think Lee still has Kalani Jordan hooked.
00:47:10I think Jordan was kicking Lee.
00:47:12Wasn't kicking Grace.
00:47:13Wait a minute, Vic.
00:47:14Oh, baby.
00:47:15She's stacked.
00:47:16With that powerbomb.
00:47:18Kalani coming down nowhere.
00:47:19Rolling up.
00:47:20Not able to get down.
00:47:21Whoa!
00:47:22Power again!
00:47:23Bam!
00:47:24Is this that moment?
00:47:26No!
00:47:27Woo!
00:47:28Wow!
00:47:30What a matchup.
00:47:31What a triple threat.
00:47:36Take another look.
00:47:37High impact offense.
00:47:39And again, all three of these women really landed on the line.
00:47:44And Jordan Grace right there was so close to recapturing that championship for a fifth time.
00:47:50So close, but not close enough.
00:47:52Fourth time.
00:47:53Fourth time.
00:47:54Look at him a fourth time.
00:47:55My bad.
00:47:56My bad.
00:47:57My bad.
00:47:58My bad.
00:47:59My bad.
00:48:00My bad.
00:48:01Yeah!
00:48:02As for Lei Ying Lee looking to wear gold for the first time.
00:48:04Women's wrestling!
00:48:05Women's wrestling!
00:48:06Women's wrestling!
00:48:07Women's wrestling!
00:48:08Women's wrestling!
00:48:09Women's wrestling!
00:48:10And those here in New York showing their love for all three of these women.
00:48:16And it's the champions.
00:48:17Ooh!
00:48:18Zobaczmy.
00:48:20That's that newfound attitude
00:48:22in Kalani Jordan.
00:48:24You can say that again.
00:48:26That's that aggressive nature.
00:48:28That nasty style.
00:48:30Another big kick. Uh oh.
00:48:32Look who's down.
00:48:34Look who could be out.
00:48:36Up top for 50.
00:48:38Oh my god.
00:48:40Didn't connect. Bam!
00:48:42Big roundhouse kick.
00:48:44Lei Ying Li.
00:48:46Jordan, Grace back in.
00:48:48And this is what you're talking about. Big back fist.
00:48:50This is the dangers of a triple threat match.
00:48:52Right place at the right time.
00:48:54Not to be retained quite yet.
00:48:56Back fist again connects.
00:48:58Grace took out one.
00:49:00Now she's looking to take out two.
00:49:06This could be it Vic.
00:49:08This could be it.
00:49:10No.
00:49:12Not to be outdone.
00:49:14But what a kick to the back of Grace.
00:49:16Baby.
00:49:17She got it.
00:49:18Wow.
00:49:19Lee brings a knockout title.
00:49:20Back to TNA.
00:49:22Here is your winner.
00:49:26And the new TNA knockout world champion.
00:49:36Lei Ying Li.
00:49:40Whether it's been in the single ranks.
00:49:42Or in tag team matches.
00:49:44Alongside Ziya Brookside.
00:49:46It has been a road.
00:49:48A long road.
00:49:50For that woman.
00:49:51For this moment.
00:49:52With TNA president.
00:49:54Carlos Silva here.
00:49:56To award.
00:49:57Lei Ying Li.
00:49:58What a moment.
00:49:59In New York City.
00:50:00What a matchup this was.
00:50:01I mean.
00:50:02For Jordan Grace.
00:50:03Thought she had it here.
00:50:04But.
00:50:05Bam.
00:50:06Presence of mind.
00:50:07And what were you saying throughout this match.
00:50:08Right place.
00:50:09Right time.
00:50:10Right time.
00:50:11Yes.
00:50:12And that is where.
00:50:13Lei Ying Li was.
00:50:14To finally call herself a champion.
00:50:16With a warrior spirit.
00:50:17Congratulations.

00:50:57JC.
00:50:58No.
00:50:59Two down.
00:51:00One to go.
00:51:01Laney.
00:51:02You are next.
00:51:03This is the moment that you have been waiting for.
00:51:04You go out there and you take that HELP CHAMPIONSHIP from Kendall Gray tonight.
00:51:08Zobaczmy od New York City i Goldrusha,
00:51:11ALL AS CHAMPIONS!
00:51:13Zobaczmy!
00:51:14Oh hi ladies!
00:51:15Jacee, Fallon.
00:51:17CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING CHAMPIONS.
00:51:19Very big win.
00:51:20Thank you!
00:51:20But, you know,
00:51:22you guys interfered in your match last week,
00:51:24and you guys interfered in your match
00:51:25about 20 minutes ago.
00:51:27So, tonight, if Lainey wants to be champion,
00:51:29she's going to have to do it on her own,
00:51:31because you two are a fan who we're inside.
00:51:33Oh, come on.
00:51:34Excuse me?
00:51:35Where are you going?
00:51:35That's rude!
00:51:36You've got to be kidding me.
00:51:37Is she allowed to do that?
00:51:38We're a group.
00:51:39That's not how this works.
00:51:40She can't do that!
00:51:43Ricky, it's great sitting down with you.
00:51:45Thank you so much for your time.
00:51:47Now, Obathemi shocked the NXT Universe with his recent return.
00:51:51What does it mean for Ricky Saints and the NXT Championship?
00:51:54That means all the eyes are on me.
00:51:57The entire world is watching me.
00:51:59Every fan, every critic, every camera,
00:52:01every person out there who is doubting
00:52:03how long is Ricky going to be
00:52:06being NXT Champion.
00:52:08That is a lot of pressure that sits right here on this chest.
00:52:12Heavier than the title, no less.
00:52:14And that is what I'm having to deal with right now.
00:52:18Last week, I was confident.
00:52:22This week, I'm starting to question that a little bit.
00:52:26But Ricky, you beat Obafemi at No Mercy.
00:52:30What's the difference with Deadline?
00:52:32You know, it's funny.
00:52:33I replay that moment, me beating Oba in my head constantly,
00:52:36over and over, thinking,
00:52:38was that just a moment that kind of lined up perfectly for me?
00:52:42That, you know, by the luck of the draw type thing.
00:52:46And that right there is hard to deal with in itself.
00:52:52I got a lot of people asking me,
00:52:54Oh, how are you going to do it again?
00:52:56How are you going to be Obafemi again?
00:52:57I don't know, as if I have the answer in my back pocket.
00:53:00I truly don't know.
00:53:02And that is hard as well, having to give an answer like that.
00:53:07I also start to think about,
00:53:10am I just a deviation in Obafemi's title reign?
00:53:13Are we just getting back on the highway?
00:53:16Did we just take a little detour?
00:53:17Now, hey, we're back, guys.
00:53:19That right there is hard to deal with.
00:53:21When that voice sits right here,
00:53:23and you have to hear it all the time,
00:53:26I'm doing my best to quiet that down.
00:53:30So what are you saying to yourself,
00:53:34walking into Deadline with this kind of doubt?
00:53:37I do wonder if all of the work
00:53:43and the years that I have grinded away,
00:53:45this entire journey that I've been on,
00:53:48if I can't beat Obafemi,
00:53:50that will be all for naught.
00:53:52That is what plays in my head.
00:53:55But you know it's the other thing that pops up a lot
00:53:58that kind of has a bigger voice in me?
00:54:00It's pressure.
00:54:02Pressure is my ally.
00:54:04You know what I do with pressure?
00:54:06I take it head on.
00:54:08Yes, it sucks for me,
00:54:10and yes, it doesn't feel good,
00:54:11but it's something that I'm able to use to my benefit
00:54:14if I really think about it.
00:54:16If all of the criticism that I'm receiving,
00:54:19if all of the doubt and naysayers,
00:54:21and everyone who starts to think,
00:54:23hey, Ricky just ain't it,
00:54:26if I don't beat Obafemi,
00:54:29then who can?
00:54:31Right?
00:54:32But I can.
00:54:34Because I'm not going to let my journey
00:54:36just fall wayside
00:54:37because of this one man that's in my way.
00:54:40The impossible is possible
00:54:42when it comes to absolute Ricky Saints,
00:54:44and I am going to prove that
00:54:46to each and every single voice out there,
00:54:49the ones that are in here,
00:54:50even the ones out there.
00:54:52Why?
00:54:55Because I am Ricky Saint Sarah,
00:54:57the NXT Champion.
00:54:59Thank you so much.
00:55:01Good luck at Deadline.
00:55:02Thank you.
00:55:03Well, the NXT Champion is ready.
00:55:09San Antonio, get ready.
00:55:11Saints, Demi, for the NXT Championship at Deadline.
00:55:28And her opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:55:32She is, the Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
00:56:00And the champion, that woman right there, Kendall Gray.
00:56:02has a variety of suplexes in her arsenal,
00:56:05as we will see her put the Women's Evolve Championship
00:56:10on the line here tonight
00:56:12against Lainey Reed of Fatal Influence.
00:56:16And we've got to welcome back to the nest,
00:56:18the voice of Evolve, Peter Rosebergen.
00:56:20Are you ready for the women of Evolve to take center stage?
00:56:23I am ready to have Kendall Gray shine in the most famous arena in the world.
00:56:29She's everything that Evolve's all about.
00:56:31We're talking about Lainey Reed here, man.
00:56:33We're talking about the biggest, the largest.
00:56:35Oh, yes, man.
00:56:37Lainey Reed is about to blow off here in Madison.
00:56:41The woman who's just running around slapping people for no reason.
00:56:45You got a title match, don't you?
00:56:47Huh?
00:56:48Huh?
00:56:49Huh?
00:56:50It is all about the women's Evolve.
00:56:53You damn right it is, Victor.
00:56:54Championship.
00:56:55Whoa!
00:57:02There you go.
00:57:03There you go.
00:57:04There you go.
00:57:05Kendall Gray right off ripping.
00:57:06Look, you brought it up already.
00:57:07Kendall Gray got slapped right in the face two weeks ago.
00:57:09You know she is not in any mood to take her time to waste any time.
00:57:13She's taking it to the challenge.
00:57:14Absolutely not.
00:57:15And she is one of the competitors.
00:57:16Whoa!
00:57:17She has levels.
00:57:18She's looking for the arm bar early.
00:57:20Try to get the submission.
00:57:21Nice counter by Lainey Reed.
00:57:22Beautiful counter there.
00:57:24Kendall has different levels booked that she can go to.
00:57:27And I think Lainey has brought something out of her here.
00:57:29I'm not going to take that away from her.
00:57:30But I'm going to tell you right now, Lainey Reed, she's a star, man.
00:57:33Just looking for that moment.
00:57:34And that moment could be tonight.
00:57:36I love it.
00:57:37Well, Peter, I got to ask you this when it comes to Evolve.
00:57:39Who are some of the women that have stand out, stood up, so to speak,
00:57:43that we need to keep our eye on?
00:57:44Well, I mean, obviously, there's a woman right now who's waiting.
00:57:46Should Kendall Gray successfully defend who will get Kendall Gray on December 3rd?
00:57:50And that's Chantelle Monroe, who's impressed a lot of people.
00:57:53But of course, our long-time champion, Callie Armstrong, has been incredible as well.
00:57:58There's a ton of talented women on Evolve every Wednesday night.
00:58:02Kendall Gray right now putting on the brakes.
00:58:04Going up, going over.
00:58:06And...
00:58:07Quick!
00:58:08Bad job!
00:58:09I mean, that just raised Booker's eyebrows there for a moment as Gray coming right back in,
00:58:13trying to take down Lainey.
00:58:14But Lainey Reed, who has been under the learning tree, so to speak, of J.C. Jane,
00:58:19just got outsmarted in that moment.
00:58:21Oh!
00:58:22Big time shot right there.
00:58:23Could this be it, into the cover hook of the leg.
00:58:25And, Peter, what has stood out the most about Kendall Gray?
00:58:28Honestly, it's the attitude and the approach.
00:58:30Fair.
00:58:31She's a first person to the gym, last one out.
00:58:33She's at Evolve.
00:58:34She's at every NXT show.
00:58:35Everywhere she can be, she is there.
00:58:37She lives at the PC.
00:58:39She dedicates her time, and you see the results in the end.
00:58:41Let's go, Bezos!
00:58:43Oh!
00:58:44Lainey Reed's starting to turn things around.
00:58:45And Booker, let's talk about Fatal Influence, because Fatal Influence can certainly turn
00:58:49this division upside down with a win here.
00:58:51We're talking about the trifecta, man.
00:58:53Oh!
00:58:54This is something we've been talking about for a long time before.
00:58:57Influence getting back on track.
00:58:59Oh!
00:59:00Wait a minute!
00:59:01Oh, nice counter for a moment.
00:59:02Wait a minute.
00:59:03I like this.
00:59:04I like this.
00:59:05Watch out, guys!
00:59:06Watch out!
00:59:07Thank you.
00:59:08Kendall Gray might have just saw her championship reign flash right before her eyes in that moment.
00:59:13Manta!
00:59:14Oh, no!
00:59:15God!
00:59:16Gray just got wiped out.
00:59:18Is Lainey Reed about to crown herself champion?
00:59:25Women's Evolved Championship on the line.
00:59:27The challenger has been in control of this matchup, and Booker Reed certainly has made
00:59:32and created moments for herself, and it all started with slapping the champion two weeks ago.
00:59:38You know, it's all about, you know, drawing the champion into those deep waters, man.
00:59:42I think that's what it is more than anything.
00:59:43Lainey Reed is pride for a victory tonight.
00:59:46And I can feel it in my bones, man.
00:59:48I like Khalil.
00:59:49Excuse me.
00:59:50It's gonna be great.
00:59:51But Lainey Reed, she's the future, man.
00:59:54She truly is.
00:59:55If Lainey Reed were to win this title, Peter, I mean, how would Reed and Fatal Influence be representing them all?
01:00:00Well, you read my mind.
01:00:01Can you imagine, on Wednesday nights, now Fatal Influence is on Evolve every week.
01:00:05In some ways, it would be the silver lining of Kendall losing this match because it would be something to see.
01:00:10But I don't think Kendall Gray is going down easy tonight.
01:00:13Champion starting to fight back.
01:00:14And high risk!
01:00:15Beautiful moonsault wiping out the challenger.
01:00:18And this certainly could be the turning point because we don't only talk about the championship that's on the line.
01:00:23We also talk about a man who is trying to create some decisions as you take a look at this moonsault.
01:00:28Again, perfectly placed.
01:00:29John Cena still to select five women who will compete in the Iron Survivor Challenge.
01:00:35Of course, Cena added the stipulation to our main event tonight.
01:00:39Win, get in.
01:00:40Williams Bourne, who heads to Deadline a week from Saturday as Kendall Gray is starting to fight back in these deep waters.
01:00:47Beautiful shot there by Gray.
01:00:49Well, this is when Kendall Gray book steps up.
01:00:51Late in matches is when I start to like Kendall Gray's chances.
01:00:55The longer a match goes, the more you see the heart of Kendall Gray.
01:00:58We gotta understand, Peter, when it comes to Booker T.
01:01:00He sees nothing but dollar signs in Laney Reed.
01:01:03But the champion sees it as an obstacle.
01:01:06Well, you see dollars in Kendall Gray too, don't you?
01:01:08Take nothing away from Kendall Gray, man.
01:01:09Less than two years in, she's champion, man.
01:01:11And you know what I say about a champion?
01:01:13Man, it makes you a whole lot better when you get that title around your waist right now.
01:01:17She's like, oh!
01:01:18We just got caught.
01:01:19Got caught slipping.
01:01:20Oh, yes, man.
01:01:21Well, Wren Sinclair, the look on her face just turned around.
01:01:23That's it.
01:01:24We gotta do champ.
01:01:25Into the cover for the title.
01:01:26Whoa!
01:01:27The Hale!
01:01:28Just came off the mat.
01:01:31Take another look.
01:01:32Just look at how close, Peter, this was to evolve having a new women's champion.
01:01:37Yeah, maybe as close as it's been for Kendall Gray in her reign so far.
01:01:41Whoo!
01:01:42You can see the timing of that from Laney Reed.
01:01:45I mean, is she late?
01:01:46Well, there is Wren Sinclair on the outside.
01:01:48You know that she's been trying to coach up in the Wren QCC.
01:01:52That being Kendall Gray, the champion, to train late.
01:01:56To understand she's gonna be in the deep waters as a champion.
01:01:59Is she a trainer or a cheerleader?
01:02:01Huh?
01:02:02Why is she out here?
01:02:03Huh?
01:02:04Why is she out here?
01:02:05Why is she out here?
01:02:06But you didn't the last time?
01:02:07I'm just saying.
01:02:08I'm just saying.
01:02:09Well, then what?
01:02:10Oh, wait a minute.
01:02:11Oh, my God!
01:02:12What a slam!
01:02:13What a counter!
01:02:14What a cover and another near fall for Kendall Gray.
01:02:16Now, Gray, staying right on top of the challenger, looking for that arm bar.
01:02:19Trying to snap that arm.
01:02:20Laney Reed having to roll through in both these women right now.
01:02:23Counter.
01:02:24What's JC Jane?
01:02:25What the hell's JC Jane doing out here?
01:02:27What?
01:02:28The women's champion.
01:02:29And then there's Fallon Henry.
01:02:30She's got it locked in.
01:02:31Another champion.
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:33Well, what's the problem now?
01:02:35I don't know.
01:02:36I'm just waiting to see.
01:02:37What are you talking about?
01:02:38I don't have anything to do.
01:02:39What are you talking about?
01:02:40What the hell?
01:02:41What the hell?
01:02:42Charlie.
01:02:43Charlie Dempsey.
01:02:44Wait, wait.
01:02:45Now Dempsey's back.
01:02:47JC Jane just got taken care of.
01:02:50Kendall Gray.
01:02:51This matchup's still going on, Peter.
01:02:53Absolutely.
01:02:54Kendall Gray has to keep her eye on the prize.
01:02:56Well, our official just made an executive decision.
01:03:09Kendall shot the Charlie Dempsey.
01:03:10Wait a minute, guys.
01:03:11Wait a minute.
01:03:12Another near fall and another kick out.
01:03:15Wow, what a matchup again.
01:03:17Showcasing what Evolve is.
01:03:19Now we may be in Book to be crowning a new Evolve Women's Champion.
01:03:26She's going up with a big shot.
01:03:28She's going up to land that coup d'etat.
01:03:31Here we go, baby.
01:03:33Kendall Gray.
01:03:35Hopping up.
01:03:36And we talked about a variety of suplexes.
01:03:39A German from the top.
01:03:41It looks like she's ready to enter the gray area.
01:03:46This is what Kendall does, Book.
01:03:48And New York City rising up for the shade of gray as gray continues to evolve.
01:03:55Here is your winner, and still, the Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
01:04:08What a night, Peter.
01:04:10What a night, Peter, for them all.
01:04:12Oh, no, I feel great heading into Thanksgiving this year with Evolve intact.
01:04:19The champions doing what they do to represent the brand like they do every Wednesday night.
01:04:24Well, Ken has a lot to be thankful for.
01:04:26That's including Ren Sinclair on the outside running a little bit of interference after Fatal Influence.
01:04:31Suck their nose into this matchup.
01:04:33And then Ren, she's got to be thankful for Charlie Dempsey, who made his return to NXT.
01:04:38But while all that was going on, the referee using his discretion.
01:04:42Felix Fernandez said, it is time to get out because we got a championship showdown.
01:04:47And the champion rose to the occasion.
01:04:50Able to hit that big, super German suplex off the top.
01:04:54And what did you say this is?
01:04:56Entering the gray area.
01:04:57Well, she certainly did.
01:04:58And then, bam!
01:04:59Shades of gray, baby.
01:05:00To wipe out Laney Reed and to retain the women's Evolve championship.
01:05:06And as we've seen tonight, you do not want to miss Kendall Gray, Drake, and the rest of Evolve.
01:05:21Hey, that's crazy.
01:05:23Hey, look, we all heard what John Cena said earlier.
01:05:25Yeah, man.
01:05:26He heard it.
01:05:27That's the next big thing around here.
01:05:28Yeah, that's it.
01:05:29Hey, he damn right.
01:05:30Yeah, it is.
01:05:31Hey, it is.
01:05:32And as much as I love these tag titles, I think it's about time for me to focus on bringing some singles gold to dark state.
01:05:37Show that we run everything around here, not just the tag division.
01:05:40Hey, but don't worry.
01:05:41The title is still going to be in the family.
01:05:43All right.
01:05:44And I'm about to go crazy in this Iron Survivor Series.
01:05:46What y'all talking about?
01:05:47What y'all talking about?
01:05:48Show that it don't matter if it's all four of us, two of us, one of us, bruh.
01:05:50It don't matter the number.
01:05:51Because when we strike, ain't nobody safe, bruh.
01:05:55Hey, but let's go get eyes on this trick and miles next.
01:05:58Oh, yeah.
01:05:59Come on.
01:06:00Come on.
01:06:01We just getting started.
01:06:02Ain't that right?
01:06:04Well, we heard the men's selection.
01:06:06In moments, John Cena selects the field for the women's Iron Survivor at deadline.
01:06:11This happens next.
01:06:18The NXT women's division is overflowing with incredible talent.
01:06:22And these five superstars I've chosen to participate in this Iron Survivor Challenge
01:06:27are a tremendous representation of that.
01:06:30Sol Ruka is the first name when it comes to athleticism and innovation.
01:06:34Wait a minute.
01:06:35Smash that Sol.
01:06:36Sol Ruka.
01:06:37Riding the wave of momentum.
01:06:40Very excited to see what she can do.
01:06:43Come deadline.
01:06:44Doesn't matter who's in that ring with me.
01:06:46I will be the sole survivor.
01:06:48Someone who's always believed in her ability.
01:06:51Every time we've spoken together personally, she has one question.
01:06:55When can I get a shot?
01:06:57This isn't just a fight.
01:06:58This is my moment.
01:07:00Lola Vice stays hot.
01:07:02Lola Vice, your time is now.
01:07:05No one, not here, can handle Lola Vice.
01:07:10The next superstar calls herself a standout.
01:07:13I don't just call myself a standout for no reason.
01:07:17And now Kalani Jordan has the opportunity to prove it.
01:07:21I am the most elite athlete.
01:07:23There's not fun in this ring.
01:07:25I admire strength because it takes time, discipline and the ability to overcome failure.
01:07:30Those are all necessary traits to succeed as a superstar.
01:07:33The juggernaut is here.
01:07:36All qualities Jordan Grace has.
01:07:39I have one goal in mind.
01:07:40And that's to be at the top of the best women's division in professional wrestling.
01:07:43Jordan Grace has just sent shockwaves through NXT.
01:07:47The final selection is an amateur standout who not only found her footing but has all the tools to accomplish anything she puts her mind to in WWE.
01:07:57The Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
01:08:00Overcoming the odds, Kendall Gray.
01:08:03What a moment for this superstar.
01:08:05Your new Evolve Women's Champion has officially arrived.
01:08:12I am truly excited to see this match.
01:08:16Ladies, good luck.
01:08:21Well, the decision has been made.
01:08:23There is the field.
01:08:24There are the five.
01:08:25But only one will be the women's Iron Survivor.
01:08:29Do 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.
01:08:41on the final NXT before deadline.
01:08:45But that's not all because these two won't be separated next week.
01:08:49Let them fight, as you would say, Booker.
01:08:51And that is what our general manager will do.
01:08:54Briggs fights live next week on NXT.
01:09:01Well, that's going down next week.
01:09:03Booker, it's high stakes in our main event.
01:09:06The following is an Iron Survivor qualifying match.
01:09:25Introducing first, from Wilmington, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, Miles Boyd.
01:09:34And we'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.
01:09:44Do you like John Cena adding stakes, though, to this main event?
01:09:48When to get in?
01:09:50No, that's the only way it should be.
01:09:52I'm loving the way John Cena is making his exit.
01:09:56I mean, making it all about the young guys.
01:09:58Who's going to step up and grab that brass ring?
01:10:01Oh, yes.
01:10:02That's right.
01:10:03The former survivor went out.
01:10:04Oh!
01:10:05Let's give it up for this man.
01:10:06Say what?
01:10:07Yeah.
01:10:08Uh-huh.
01:10:09That's right.
01:10:10That's right.
01:10:11That's right.
01:10:12The former survivor went out.
01:10:16Oh!
01:10:17Let's give it up for this man.
01:10:19Say what?
01:10:20Yeah.
01:10:21Uh-huh.
01:10:22That's right.
01:10:23That's right.
01:10:24That's right.
01:10:25Say what?
01:10:26That's right.
01:10:27That's right.
01:10:28That's right.
01:10:29That's right.
01:10:30Uh-huh.
01:10:31Oh, yeah, man.
01:10:32Oh, yeah, man.
01:10:33Oh, yeah, man.
01:10:34Oh, yeah, man.
01:10:35Oh, yeah, man.
01:10:36Oh, yeah, man.
01:10:37Oh, yeah, man.
01:10:38That's true.
01:10:39Who gave you a towel?
01:10:40That's true.
01:10:41Who gave you a towel?
01:10:43And his opponent from Columbia, South Carolina, wing it at 245.
01:10:54That's right.
01:10:55Say what?
01:10:57Derek Williams!
01:11:00Oh, yeah.
01:11:03It's about to get busy up here.
01:11:05This is Madison Square.
01:11:07God.
01:11:08Get on your feet.
01:11:10Just like everybody in the highs, man.
01:11:13Ripping the towels out.
01:11:15But that man drippin' in gold because he's going back to the top where he belongs, man.
01:11:22And this, this is the beginning.
01:11:26Oh, yes.
01:11:27I'm surprised he had this much energy towards the end of the night and all big clothesline by Trick Williams.
01:11:32And Trick knows what's at stake.
01:11:33He knows, as you've already mentioned, what it takes, what it's like to win at deadline to get that guaranteed championship opportunity at New Year's Eve.
01:11:42And obviously, Book, we know whose side you're gonna be on.
01:11:45No, I'm not on anybody's side, but Trick is a little frustrated because Trick should be champion right now.
01:11:51Trick should have made history.
01:11:53Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:11:54Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:11:55And right now, he's gonna, he's gonna have to take it out on this young man here, Myles Bourne, who is very, very talented.
01:12:07And a nice drop kick from Myles Bourne quickly.
01:12:10He didn't get all of it, though.
01:12:11He didn't get all of it.
01:12:12End of the cover and a kick out.
01:12:13You think the added bonus, though, of the qualifying for the Iron Survivor gives Trick the advantage?
01:12:18I say that because here, Book, more big match experience, former Iron Survivor, which you've already brought up, but Bourne has been proving doubters wrong his entire life.
01:12:26Give my boy a lot of credit.
01:12:28I mean, I think he's very, very talented.
01:12:30I mean, he's here under the bright lights in New York City, and he has a chance of a lifetime to go out there and beat Trick Williams, a two-time NXT champion.
01:12:38Now, looking to become a three-time NXT champion.
01:12:41That right there, that right there would give him a whole lot of clout around this business, trust me.
01:12:46Well, he certainly has slowed this matchup down, and again, you talk about urgency.
01:12:51It's that time of year, deadline right around the corner.
01:12:53The final WWE premium live event of the year, and Trick Williams wants to represent the brand.
01:13:00He wants to again have the- Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:13:02He wants to represent the brand.
01:13:03Trick Williams is the damn brand.
01:13:05What are you talking about?
01:13:06He's not the champion.
01:13:07What are you talking about?
01:13:08He's not the champion.
01:13:09You can hear Trick say he's not the champion, but he's still the guy.
01:13:12He's still the guy around here.
01:13:13And you know this.
01:13:14Well, Trick has been in control and a nice suplex.
01:13:17Beautiful.
01:13:18Got all of it, too.
01:13:19I mean, the velocity of it.
01:13:20Into the cover.
01:13:21And again, a kick out by Myles Bourne.
01:13:23John Cena put some extra on this matchup.
01:13:27The winner would get that final men's spot at Iron Survivor in the challenge match.
01:13:35A week from Saturday in San Antonio.
01:13:38And Trick Williams is talking a little bit of trash right now.
01:13:40You know what?
01:13:41He's a trash talker.
01:13:43He's the guy that's going around making all the noise here.
01:13:47He's the reason why the people are in the building here tonight.
01:13:50Up over Myles Bourne right now.
01:13:52Oh, Bourne again.
01:13:53Got called.
01:13:54That could be it.
01:13:55Got called.
01:13:56Oh, man, those folks.
01:13:58That certainly was.
01:13:59And Myles Bourne on top.
01:14:02Can he keep his foot on the gas?
01:14:04Who's headed to Deadline?
01:14:06Back on NXT.
01:14:12Who's headed to San Antonio?
01:14:14Who's headed to Deadline?
01:14:15And I got to give Trick a lot of credit because right before the commercial break,
01:14:18he was dropped by that patented Bourne again from Myles Bourne.
01:14:22We've seen Myles Bourne win match after match and earn opportunity after opportunity.
01:14:26But Trick was able to kick out.
01:14:28You know, it tells me.
01:14:29It tells me one thing right there.
01:14:30That Myles Bourne may be.
01:14:32Wait a minute.
01:14:33Wait a minute.
01:14:34Myles Bourne may be in over his head in this matchup right here.
01:14:37Well, look.
01:14:38How massive would it be, though, for Bourne to go to San Antonio?
01:14:40He's got to be thinking about that right now on December the 6th to get to Deadline,
01:14:44to get to that final premium live.
01:14:45But this would be a huge feather in the cap for Myles Bourne.
01:14:49I mean, Myles Bourne, like I said, the kid has a lot of talent, but he's dealing with
01:14:53a guy like Trick Williams right now who has nothing to lose but everything to gain.
01:14:59And he's not going to let it slip away in a match like this with somebody like Myles Bourne.
01:15:03Trust me.
01:15:04I've been in the same position before.
01:15:06And this is a position where you've got to go out here and hurt this man.
01:15:10You've got to break it down.
01:15:12You've got to dog it.
01:15:13You've got to do what you've got to do to get the victory.
01:15:16And that's what Trick Williams is going to do.
01:15:19You've been very outspoken.
01:15:21Let's also be honest about it.
01:15:22Let's talk about it, pun intended.
01:15:24You've been outspoken about Myles Bourne, especially if you go back to NXT Showdown.
01:15:28You called him out as soon as the match started.
01:15:32Myles Bourne is looking to prove you wrong, just like he's looking to prove a lot of people wrong.
01:15:36Myles Bourne slipped in that match by default.
01:15:39Am I right?
01:15:40Am I right?
01:15:41So what does he have to do to change your perception?
01:15:43The thing is, he shouldn't have even been there.
01:15:44That had nothing to do with his inability or anything like that.
01:15:48Did I think he was a weak link?
01:15:50Yes, did he prove?
01:15:51Did he prove to be the weak link?
01:15:53Yes, he did.
01:15:54Okay, so what does he have to do to change your perception?
01:15:56I mean, stand toe to toe.
01:15:59I mean, the thing is, if he could just take, you know, take to that-
01:16:02Inside cradle!
01:16:03Inside cradle!
01:16:04Wait a minute!
01:16:05Take him to that last mile.
01:16:06I have so much respect for this.
01:16:07Big kicked in, connect, another counter, another cover!
01:16:09And another near fall was the North American champion, Ethan Page,
01:16:13called Myles Bourne a lost cause earlier tonight.
01:16:16And Tripp Williams showing that strength, showing you why he is money!
01:16:21I'm gonna tell you right now, Myles Bourne just, he just tipped his hand just a minute ago right now.
01:16:28I think he's run out of ideas, trying to get those, those covers.
01:16:31That, that, that told me a lot about Myles.
01:16:33Tripp, looking for Tripp, shot!
01:16:35Oh, baby!
01:16:36And he got countered!
01:16:37Big power slam!
01:16:38Cover!
01:16:39Is it enough?
01:16:40Oh, wow!
01:16:41Still not enough to send Myles Bourne to San Antonio, but let's also remember what happened last week.
01:16:46It was Myles Bourne who waffled Tripp Williams with a steel chair.
01:16:51Able to counter there in that moment, maybe he's starting to listen to the advice of Ethan Page to start being selfish.
01:16:57I mean, this is a selfish business.
01:16:59I mean, you gotta go out there and think about aid number one.
01:17:01You gotta go out there and think about, uh, your legacy.
01:17:04Huh?
01:17:05Uh, if you, if you're gonna be Hall of Fame for everything one day, that's what you gotta think about.
01:17:09And trust me, that's what Tripp Williams is thinking about.
01:17:11Well, our night started with Shawn Legacy.
01:17:13Now they're able to pick up the Men's Evolve Championship.
01:17:15It's Myles Bourne looking to build his own legacy to punch his ticket to San Antonio.
01:17:20Atomic drop to Tripp Williams and fouling it up!
01:17:24You better cover him, kid!
01:17:26This could be it!
01:17:27Is it gonna be enough?
01:17:28And Tripp again getting that right shoulder up.
01:17:30And look, Tripp has a lot of big match experience.
01:17:32Not just here in NXT, but also in TNA.
01:17:34He is built for this.
01:17:36Myles Bourne now is getting that first taste.
01:17:38Chris Williams is a big, big, big match player, man.
01:17:41He hasn't worked the Indies or anything like that.
01:17:43This guy went straight to the main event.
01:17:46You don't do that unless you are extra, extraordinary talent.
01:17:50And that's Rick Williams.
01:17:51Whoa, looking for the backslide.
01:17:53Counter though for a moment by Myles Bourne.
01:17:55Bourne though got caught!
01:17:56And there was the bookend!
01:17:59Suggity-duckin!
01:18:00That was a bookend!
01:18:01Suggity-duckin!
01:18:02Quack-quack!
01:18:03I called it a bookend!
01:18:04Oh, my man!
01:18:05Yeah!
01:18:06Beautiful!
01:18:07Beautiful, baby!
01:18:08And Tripp Williams, we've seen him here many a times.
01:18:11Looking to put the finishing touches, so to speak.
01:18:14Oh, counter!
01:18:15Oh, wait a minute!
01:18:16I think Myles Bourne was maybe looking for some sort of submission.
01:18:19Oh, big kick.
01:18:20Beautiful counter right there.
01:18:21Tripp said he bumped.
01:18:22Answering back with a forearm though.
01:18:24Myles Bourne.
01:18:25Tripp now pump kick right right at the jaw.
01:18:27Bourne being rocked.
01:18:28Swing and a miss the first time.
01:18:30Boatman!
01:18:31I have never seen double neck breakers before!
01:18:34Whoa!
01:18:35Wow!
01:18:36Wow!
01:18:37John Cena made this match.
01:18:39John Cena was the one who said the winner will get that final men's spot at Iron Survivor.
01:18:44And take a look right here.
01:18:46Boatman, same idea.
01:18:48As they come back to live action, Myles Bourne just connected with a knee under the jaw.
01:18:53And oh!
01:18:54A right hand just connected to the jaw.
01:18:57That was an uppercut, man!
01:19:01Kicked in, connect, look for a German suplex.
01:19:03That one did.
01:19:04Myles Bourne now.
01:19:05Looks like he's got his Booker's second or third win in this match.
01:19:08Looking for Bourne again, counter!
01:19:09I'm gonna say he looked like he was filling into that right there.
01:19:12That could be it.
01:19:13That could be the door that just opened for Trick Williams.
01:19:16Oh!
01:19:17And a hard landing to the outside and I am starting to notice some welts forming on the body.
01:19:22Of Bourne!
01:19:23Oh, yes!
01:19:24Take it to the street!
01:19:25Take it to the street, baby!
01:19:26We're in Times Square!
01:19:28Trick measuring.
01:19:29Oh, no!
01:19:30I don't know if he was looking for a trick kick, a trick shot.
01:19:35Nonetheless, that knee went right to the steel and then the Bourne again on the floor.
01:19:41That's the second Bourne again for Myles Bourne.
01:19:44That's concrete under the padding right there.
01:19:45That was a tough shot that Trick just took right there.
01:19:48Myles charging in for a third time!
01:19:50Another Bourne again!
01:19:51Myles is gonna do it!
01:19:52Myles into the cover!
01:19:53Myles is headed to deadline!
01:19:58Here is your winner, Myles Bourne!
01:20:03You gotta admit, for everything you said, you said to change the perception, he's gotta win.
01:20:08Damn it, he did!
01:20:09That's the biggest win of his career!
01:20:11It's a huge win, man.
01:20:12It's a huge win for the kid, but you gotta understand, Trick, Trick is going through a lot right now, man.
01:20:17You gotta understand that.
01:20:19Rolling out the excuse book already as Booker T.
01:20:22for his guy, but there's no excuses for Myles Bourne.
01:20:27He did what he set out to do.
01:20:29He dropped Trick last week, he did it for a second time, and this time, with a victory, he's headed to deadline.
01:20:36That was the second Bourne again, as you mentioned, right there on the floor, just an inch away from concrete.
01:20:43Third time would be the charm for Myles, who punches his ticket to San Antonio, who makes his way to the final WWE premium live event of the year.
01:20:56That being deadline, one week from Saturday.
01:21:01Booker.
01:21:18Dark State's here, Myles Bourne just had a match, Book.
01:21:24Oh, that's the boy's man.
01:21:25He just had a match.
01:21:26He just qualified for a deadline.
01:21:28Get some, won't stop, son.
01:21:31Hey, come on!
01:21:32You better be bad enough, take some!
01:21:35This is Dark State!
01:21:37Myles Bourne earned his spot.
01:21:39Dion Lennox was...
01:21:41Whoa!
01:21:42Hendry!
01:21:44Slater!
01:21:45Javon!
01:21:46The other Iron Survivors have arrived!
01:21:53What a face-off!
01:21:54Cause Dark State is looking into the eyes of four men who won't back down!
01:21:59It's been interesting, and I hope they won't be the Kev.
01:22:01Oh!
01:22:02Oh!
01:22:03Yeah!
01:22:04Yeah!
01:22:05Yeah!
01:22:06Well..
01:22:07Just go!
01:22:08Just go!
01:22:09Y-
01:22:10You can go!
01:22:11Yo-
01:22:12Y-
01:22:13You can go!
01:22:14And you have to keep the same guy!
01:22:15I know!
01:22:16I know!
01:22:17I am so...
01:22:18I can go!
01:22:20And you can go!
01:22:21Yeah!
01:22:22So when we're out of the way, we're gonna be...
01:22:24You can go!
01:22:25I know!
01:22:26You can go!
