00:00And their opponent's first, she is the Evolve Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
00:08It's gonna be a very busy week for Kendall Gray.
00:10She's in action tonight, and tomorrow night,
00:13she will defend her Evolve Women's Championship against Chantelle Monroe.
00:18You can catch that, Evolve on Tubi.
00:21And then as you mentioned, Vic, this Saturday,
00:24part of the Iron Survivor match at Deadline in San Antonio.
00:28And there is Fatal Influence as we are ready for a six-woman tag team match.
00:33And her tag team partners first, from Miami, Florida, Lola Vise.
00:42Am I contractually obligated to say something about Cholula Green or make some sort of-
00:46Hey, you're the guest this week, you can do whatever you want.
00:49I don't want to sleep on a couch.
00:50And for Lola Vise, talk about an offensive arsenal, suplexes, strikes with kicks,
01:08and don't forget those vicious fists.
01:23And making her way to the ring, from Honolulu, Hawaii, Sol Ruka.
01:30As we saw earlier with Zarya, there's a lot going on in the mind and
01:35the soul of Ruka, ha-ha, didn't mean for the fun.
01:39Well, for a post-apocalyptic Terminator,
01:41Zarya certainly finds herself in her feelings quite frequently.
01:45Look, at the end of the day, this is an individual-based business.
01:48If you have a friendship or a tag team, and your partner's not pulling their weight,
01:52they become an anchor.
01:53And you know what happens to anchors, Vic, when you're in a tag team?
01:56Ask the guy sitting in the back, you get a one-way trip through the barbershop window, okay?
02:01I think Sol Ruka needs to keep doing what she's doing.
02:03There's a reason she's a big star.
02:05Well, you talk about Fatal Influence as a trio that looks a little different
02:09since the last time you were even here sitting at this desk with myself and Booker 2.
02:14I thought maybe it was just a hair color.
02:15I, no, I'm kidding, Vic.
02:17Of course, Laney Reed, I think, is a fantastic addition to Fatal Influence.
02:20Could she be the missing piece that restores greatness to the faction?
02:24Potentially, I mean, we see Fallon Henley with the Speed Championship.
02:28We see J.C. Jane once again with the NXT Women's Championship.
02:31I was just getting ready to say Gold is back in the house of Fatal Influence as
02:34all six women in this match, and Gary Wilson, our official, is gonna have his hands full.
02:39And there goes Lola Weiss, and is Weiss on the cusp of perhaps a breakout moment?
02:44It's just got wiped out by Fallon Henley.
02:46In my opinion, absolutely, yes.
02:48I've been keeping a close eye on Lola Weiss in AAA, but right now, keep your eyes on the skies.
02:53Kendall Gray.
02:54Body's flying all around the place.
02:56Ren Sinclair likes what she sees on the outside.
02:59J.C. Jane, the NXT Women's Champion, charging in.
03:02And you take a look at all the players, you see the field.
03:05Uh-oh!
03:06More chest piece sticking the landing is Sol Ruka.
03:10And making it look easy.
03:13You think about this Iron Survivor Challenge, I think back to last year.
03:17Julia was the one who is victorious.
03:19Someone obviously all the locker room is looking up to right now as a former United States Women's Champion.
03:26That's who the locker room is looking up to.
03:27The NXT Universe was looking up to Sol Ruka soaring through the skies.
03:31And right now, the lethal Lola Weiss reminding Lainey Reed just who the hell she is.
03:37Look at these kicks, man.
03:39We talked about the striking abilities, so I wanna put you on the spot here, Corey.
03:42Who is your pick to win this year's Iron Survivor Challenge for the women?
03:47We'll save the men, obviously, for a little bit later in our massive main event.
03:50Listen, I think it could go any number of ways, but in my opinion, it's hard to bet against Sol Ruka.
03:56Look at this woman go.
03:57Standing moonsault, cover, and a kick out.
03:59Sol Ruka has improved so much in such a short period of time.
04:04Imagine what she's gonna be capable of in another six months, in another year.
04:08I think great things are on the horizon for Sol Ruka.
04:11You see some members of the NXT Universe starting to ride the wave for Sol Ruka's attack,
04:15which made it in comes the Women's Speed Champion, that being Fallon Henley.
04:19Fallon, of course, has competed in the women's Iron Survivor into the cover,
04:22hook of the leg, and a kick out.
04:24And while I'm busy handing out compliments, I gotta say,
04:27I think Fallon Henley might be the most underrated woman on the roster.
04:30This woman impresses me each and every time she steps inside the ring.
04:34She's a veteran of the game.
04:35She continues to improve.
04:37I think greatness is also on tap for Fallon Henley.
04:40When you see Sol Ruka getting tapped out, I was just getting ready to ask.
04:43Sol is the only one who competed in this matchup.
04:45She did so last year.
04:47I think that would give her an advantage.
04:49But I wanna go back to something she said earlier tonight,
04:51that she is a world caliber champion.
04:54That was said by none other than John Cena.
04:57Well, in that case, nothing I can say will hold any more water than what the goat said.
05:01I mean, John Cena's opinion obviously counts for a lot in this game.
05:06Kendall Gray now looking to show the world that John Cena was right in selecting her.
05:11Dropkick on the money cover.
05:13And a near fall, it's all going down Saturday in San Antonio.
05:16The final WWE premium live event of the year.
05:19And of course, the NXT Championship to be defended.
05:22Oba Saints contract still to be signed.
05:25Here tonight is Laney Reed with a dropkick right on the button.
05:29Couldn't get the three.
05:30I think there's a massive opportunity by joining Fatal Influence for Laney Reed.
05:34We know JC Jayne's got all the attention.
05:36We know Fallon Henley has got an incredible resume.
05:39Laney Reed relatively new into this game.
05:42As the NXT Women's Champion just checked in.
05:45Sorry to cut you off.
05:45That's all right, beautiful pinning combination.
05:48Well, the official looked and didn't see something, didn't make the decision.
05:51Again, it's referee's discretion.
05:52And one more time, he is in great position as the two champions in this matchup tangling right now.
05:58And when we try to dive deeper into what's gonna take place this Saturday,
06:01is there a true luck of the draw from the Iron Survivor matches?
06:04I think there's certainly an element of luck, but I mean, given the opportunity,
06:07as we'll have in our main event tonight, to select your spot, to me-
06:11Hey!
06:12Wow, that's a veteran maneuver.
06:15Fallon Henley using her smarts, her experience, and Fatal Influence has the advantage.
06:21And JC Jayne with a senton, looking to pick up the scraps.
06:25Fatal Influence in control on NXT.
06:41Well, as you were saying there, Corey, when it comes to our main event tonight,
06:47there is some added weight to it.
06:49The winning superstar will get to pick his number at deadline.
06:52And for Kendall Gray, she's just gotta get back into this fight someway, somehow.
06:55She is a long way away from her partner.
06:58And look, I've been very impressed by the little bit that I've seen recently of Kendall Gray.
07:02Obviously, she's the Evolved Women's Champion.
07:04That counts for a lot.
07:05And I think, much like I said about Tavion Heights earlier tonight, I think with the right
07:09amount of seasoning, a little bit more time, I think Kendall's gonna be a force to be reckoned with in WWE.
07:14Again, big week for Gray.
07:15She'll defend the Evolved Women's Championship in 24 hours.
07:19On Evolved, on two, because the NXT Women's Champion looking for a win and a kickout.
07:22And then, of course, deadline this Saturday.
07:25I gotta say this, I'm just gonna be honest.
07:27It's not because it's the holidays, Gray.
07:28Lie to me, Vic.
07:29I'm sad that you're not gonna be in San Antonio to be with us at deadline.
07:34Maybe I'll come to San Antonio.
07:35You and I can have ourselves a time on the Riverwalk.
07:37We might have done it before, but I probably wouldn't remember.
07:39I think we have done it before.
07:41And I'm probably pretty sure that, yes, you wouldn't have remembered.
07:43With a couple good old friends of ours, there's another knee right between the eyes.
07:47Has, well, Fallon Henley showcasing her dance skills to Lola Vice.
07:51Fallon Henley's hips don't lie like Shakira.
07:55I was gonna say they don't lie like Ola's fists, but sure, it threw me all out.
07:59I was trying to bring up a pop culture.
08:01I'm just trying to remember what happened in San Antonio now.
08:03You know what, if you don't remember, you don't wanna talk about it.
08:05Are we looking for my bike in the basement of the Alamo?
08:06You might have been looking for the bike in the basement of the Alamo as Lainey Reed
08:09in control along with Fatal Influence.
08:11And Lainey Reed does have a big opportunity here.
08:13Lainey Reed, though, just got countered.
08:15Her shoulders are down and we're gonna need her fall.
08:17Lainey Reed has an opportunity to learn from two women that have won every single title there is
08:22here on this ground.
08:23Exactly.
08:23And in this game, it doesn't matter where you come from or what you've done,
08:26there's always something to be learned from the veterans.
08:29Reaching out for the tag one more time, no one home.
08:32Swing and a miss.
08:33Lainey.
08:34Nice.
08:35A little bit of an arm drag fouling it up.
08:36I like that.
08:38Carefully measured elbow right under the chin.
08:41A little a la Stone Cold Steve Austin style as Lainey Reed.
08:44That's just an old fashioned fist to the face.
08:46Jason, you have witnessed the rise of a lot of women here in NXT during your time.
08:51You've seen a lot of champions come.
08:53You've seen a lot of champions go.
08:54Booker T sees superstar on all three of these women in Fatal Influence.
08:59And it sounds like you see the same thing.
09:01I certainly do, but I like to put myself in the shoes of a JC Jane mentally speaking.
09:06Think of what goes through JC's mind.
09:08Think of how many people have come and gone since JC has been here in NXT.
09:12She is the NXT Women's Champion.
09:13She's the face of the division now.
09:15But you know JC still aspires to more.
09:18Now where does Fatal Influence factor into all that?
09:20Time will only tell.
09:21But I think JC Jane certainly is on the cusp of superstar.
09:24The six women tag team match of course came about after what transpired earlier tonight
09:30during our Iron Survivor Challenge Women's Summit that was being held by our general manager Ava.
09:36And on the topic of Ava, she sure has had one hell of a night having to deal with all sorts of
09:41emotions and egos amongst the men and the women in the locker room.
09:45But we got a six women tag team match as the NXT Women's Champion checks back into the match.
09:51And now she tags and found Henley.
09:52We're seeing quick tags as Fatal Influence continues to dissect the opposition.
10:03It has been all Fatal Influence in this six woman tag team matchup just ahead
10:08of Deadline this Saturday in San Antonio.
10:11Tickets on sale now, Ticketmaster.com.
10:13And the legal superstar is gonna be JC Jane, the NXT Women's Champion.
10:17Looking to pick up the victory.
10:19Bam!
10:19And a kick under the jaw.
10:21Falls into the cover and a kick out.
10:23And look, when it comes to Women's Champions here in NXT, where do you rank JC Jane and
10:28everything she's done and gone through among the list of great women that have held that title?
10:33Listen, I was here the first go around when JC Jane was called the most beatable champion in NXT by,
10:39but who was it that said that?
10:40Laini Reed.
10:41Exactly.
10:41Who is the NXT Women's Champion for a second time reigning with power?
10:46JC Jane.
10:47Exactly.
10:48You answer your own questions.
10:49Well, JC Jane found Henley talking a little bit of smack right now.
10:54Maybe getting a little bit too comfortable in this matchup.
10:57Laini just got dropped.
10:58She's been wiped out.
11:00Sol Ruka has been for a moment.
11:01And look who just made the tag.
11:03In comes Lola Vice, fists of fire, fists of fury.
11:07Look at these kicks.
11:08Feel these strikes.
11:09She's wiping out everyone.
11:11Lola Vice bringing Vice City to the ring tonight.
11:15And she's gonna be bringing Vice City to San Antonio.
11:18We're looking at the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge winner.
11:21We're looking at the woman who'll become number one contender, head to New Year's Evil and
11:25challenge for the NXT Women's Championship.
11:27Yeah, man.
11:30He's gonna send you a cease and desist.
11:35Catch me at Starbucks and find out.
11:38Lola Vice having a good time while laying waste to Fatal Influence.
11:42Snap suplex.
11:43Is that gonna be enough for the victory tonight?
11:46And Fallon getting that left shoulder up.
11:48And look, everyone's gotta know that there is no more powerful force right now in NXT
11:52than Fatal Influence.
11:54Look at that innovative offense.
11:55That's the way Fatal Influence feels and what they'd like you to believe.
11:58But Sol Ruka and Lola Vice disagree.
12:01Beautiful shoulder breaker into the cover.
12:03And Lainey Reed able to break things up.
12:06And now wait a minute, all three members of Fatal Influence up and in this match.
12:10What a forearm from Jane.
12:12Sol Ruka.
12:13Sol Ruka with a super kick.
12:15Rocking the NXT Women's Champion almost off her feet now.
12:18Throwing her right to the outside.
12:19But Fallon Henley back up.
12:21Roll in, body scissors, take down, rolling into the cover.
12:23Shoulders down, another near fall.
12:24Great escape by Sol Ruka, keeping this match up alive for her team.
12:28But the chemistry of Fatal Influence has been the difference maker thus far.
12:32Quick tags, it's like they're all on the same page.
12:34Blockbuster takes down Ruka.
12:36Connected and again, Sol Ruka might not even realize who's leaving,
12:39because it's not Lainey Reed, it's JC Jayden.
12:41Both women charging in, double knees to the face.
12:44And Lola Vice saves the match.
12:47I feel bad for our official character.
12:48Wilson has Lainey Reed coming out of nowhere.
12:51And now it's Lainey Reed.
12:52Oh, that was awesome.
12:56But look who's back up, Fallon Henley.
13:00Bodies are flying around.
13:02And Fallon just got taken out by Sol Ruka and I believe.
13:05Sol is the legal superstar for her team.
13:09And I believe JC Jayden is the legal superstar for Fatal Influence.
13:12I'm right, there's the cover.
13:14And there's the kick out.
13:15This matchup, Katoona Rolling Encore didn't cut.
13:20Ruka just snatched the soul of the women's champion.
13:27Here are your winners, the team of Lola Vice, Kendall Gray, and Sol Ruka.
13:35You talk about riding a wave of momentum.
13:38That is just what Sol Ruka, who at once was a double champion on this brand,
13:44is doing it.
13:45She surfs right in to San Antonio.
13:49And this is a thing of beauty.
13:50The Soul Snatcher.
13:52And like Tyler Durden said, it's only once you've lost everything that you're free
13:57to do anything.
13:58And anything for Sol Ruka includes the Iron Survivor this Saturday in San Antonio.
14:05Could she be the next number one contender?
14:10Zarya just flattened Kendall Gray with a spear.
14:14I think Zarya was looking to hit Sol Ruka instead of Kendall Gray.
14:19We got so much going on out here, but one of these five women will become
14:23the women's Iron Survivor.
