00:00Welcome to Main Event.

00:08The following contest is scheduled for

00:17one fall, introducing first, from Knoxville to the sea,

00:23representing American-made Ivy Nile.

00:31This is someone who earlier today, as we were getting ready for Main Event tonight, Byron,

00:35you tried to get a few words with, and she told you to, uh, I don't want to repeat what

00:39she said, but it wasn't very nice.

00:40What did you do to Ivy Nile?

00:42It was a bad judgment call for me.

00:44Ivy Nile looked the same way backstage she looks now, which is perturbed and disturbed.

00:49Well, you can hear from the WWE Universe tonight just what they think of Ivy Nile.

01:01Don't you sing along, Vic.

01:02Don't you dare sing along.

01:04I almost...

01:05I saw your lips going there.

01:06I almost did.

01:07Of course, Blake Howard, not with you this week.

01:10I am Vic Joseph alongside Byron Saxton, and Byron, we've moved into the month of December.

01:16Only a few more weeks left this year.

01:18Isn't it amazing right now, if you're a WWE superstar and you're watching the days tick

01:23away as we inch towards 2026, you're thinking, how can I finish this year as strong as humanly

01:28possible?

01:29That's a great point, because before we know it, it will be the Royal Rumble, and then we

01:32will be on the road to WrestleMania.

01:35Isn't that wild?

01:36Every year.

01:37It goes just by like that, Byron.

01:38Just like that.

01:39And this is a woman who really did have a big year.

01:42We'll hear more on that in just a moment.

01:44I will never help me now.

01:48You won't watch me, Paul.

01:50I suggest you never tell me all I know.

01:55From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

01:59Thea, Thea, Thea, Thea!

02:03Vic.

02:04Can I get a Hail Yeah.

02:06Hail Yeah.

02:07That was horrible.

02:08I think I'm the one who coined that on NXT.

02:10Of course, I'm very familiar with Thea Hail, a superstar who is getting the opportunity here

02:15tonight.

02:16Someone who might need to actually think about the decaf in the morning.

02:20I don't think so at all.

02:21You like that, I mean, as you like that.

02:23Energy level, the rambunctious nature, that's what makes Thea Hale who she is.

02:27I'm now not very impressed with Thea Hale, but, you know,

02:30Booker T tells me every Tuesday on NXT that Hale has been,

02:34and I don't like to use this term, but it's what he said,

02:37she has been misguided during her run in NXT.

02:42NQCC, Chase University, Joe Hendry.

02:46Do you agree with Booker's assessment?

02:48To an extent, but isn't that part of the maturation of anybody's career?

02:52That's fair.

02:52You make some wrong turns, you make some mistakes,

02:54you learn from those humps in the road, and you become better, right?

02:57I mean, it's very fair, and you think about Thea Hale,

02:59someone who has competed for the NXT Women's Championship,

03:02someone who now, at this level, competes against Ivy now.

03:05We talk about being the end of the year, looking to make a banner.

03:08What do you mean?

03:09Okay, Thea.

03:11That's a New Year's dance.

03:13What do you know about Hale?

03:14I don't know much about it, I'll give you that,

03:16but could this be a launching point for Thea

03:18with a victory over someone like Ivy Nile?

03:19Oh, without question.

03:20If you're Thea Hale, you've gone through such an adjustment

03:23from your days in Chase U, being taken more seriously,

03:27tweaking your style a little bit,

03:28and this is just part of that road.

03:30Pick up a win against Ivy Nile,

03:31now you're raising some eyebrows in the women's division,

03:34whether it's Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown,

03:36as well as NXT.

03:37Able to roll through, almost a count there by the official.

03:40Nice tilt-a-whirl arm drag by Thea Hale,

03:43and recently Hale was under the bright lights in New York City

03:46at Cold Rush several weeks ago.

03:48How does an experience like that, though,

03:50being in the theater of Madison Square Garden,

03:52motivate someone?

03:53He described it to me as surreal,

03:55a moment she will never forget for the rest of her life.

03:58Things starting to slow down in this matchup,

04:00I think Ivy Nile is feeling that momentum start to slip away

04:03as charging right back in is Thea Hale.

04:05And you've got to think Thea has to look to someone like Maxine Dupree

04:09and just know in her heart that hard work will pay off.

04:13I'll tell you, Maxine's win of the Women's Intercontinental Championship

04:15gets so much for every single women's locker room.

04:19It gave hope to a lot of superstars.

04:21They felt like, yeah, I'll never be in that position

04:23to actually contend for a championship.

04:26Well, the same can be said for someone like Ivy Nile.

04:29Take another look.

04:30First, you see the athleticism,

04:31and bam, that board is getting slammed shut by Ivy Nile.

04:36And I've talked about the year Ivy Nile has had,

04:38the opportunity she has had.

04:40Have you seen the great in-ring from Ivy Nile?

04:43I think so.

04:44It starts with the appearance,

04:45as silly as that may sound.

04:46But if you look at yourself

04:47and you see a different competitor,

04:49that translates to your style inside the ring.

04:52You can hear the WWE Universe here.

04:55Look at the smile on Ivy's face.

04:56She enjoys it.

04:57She enjoys the jeers.

04:58Face first goes Thea,

05:00bouncing off that top turnbuckle,

05:02and Ivy, who used to train in the Performance Center,

05:05down in Orlando with Thea,

05:07called her an annoying gnat that just won't go away.

05:10And you know that has to fuel Thea Hale,

05:12but right now for Thea,

05:13she's got to get back into the matchup,

05:15off the suplex, into the cover,

05:16and another kick out.

05:17The thing about,

05:18there's pressure on Ivy Nile as well.

05:20Remember when Chad Gable

05:21went off into the sunset for a little bit

05:23and told Ivy Nile,

05:24listen, you're in charge now.

05:25You've got to run the show.

05:27That's still an internal motivation for Ivy Nile.

05:29You've actually seen that a little bit, Byron.

05:31It's a great point.

05:33Great point that you bring up

05:34because Ivy really, at that juncture,

05:36I think maybe that's when she started

05:38to change her perception

05:39about how she viewed things.

05:40Let's not forget,

05:41she was contending for championships.

05:43She was in championship conversation.

05:46And I think that was really the jumping point.

05:48For every great superstar

05:49that's done amazing things in our industry,

05:51they can always pinpoint one moment

05:53whether it was a grand...

05:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

05:55Up, over, shoulders, down,

05:56out of the corner looking for the upset.

05:59It could have been a win.

06:00It could have been a pep talk.

06:01There's only that pivot change.

06:02Ouch.

06:04Derek Sanders checking on Thea Ivy,

06:07seeing her opportunity into the cover.

06:10And another kick out,

06:11and Ivy might have just taken

06:11a little extra second,

06:13but you saw the striking ability

06:14right there from Ivy Nile.

06:15How impressed are you

06:16with just the natural strength of Nile?

06:20Ivy's always had the tools.

06:21There's no question about that.

06:23There's no argument to be made there.

06:24Ivy Nile has always brought

06:26something extremely unique

06:27inside the ring,

06:28but as we always say,

06:29how do you put it all together?

06:31How do you fill that toolbox

06:32to create a successfully sustained career?

06:36Let's go Thea Chance ringing out.

06:39Hale trying to rally

06:40here in this matchup.

06:42And poof,

06:43that's one way to create

06:44a little separation, Byron,

06:45trying to get back into this matchup.

06:48Yeah, Hale's got to dig deep now,

06:49firing up a couple shots.

06:51Big forearm under the jaw,

06:52firing back with his second one.

06:53Ivy Nile now,

06:54a little bit rocked.

06:55Now with the reverse.

06:57Thea Hale holding on.

06:58Big kick right to the chest.

07:00Rocked herself backwards,

07:01charges in.

07:02And now,

07:03oh,

07:03two knees right to the elbow.

07:05Trying to hyper-extend.

07:07Could be setting up

07:07for that Camorra lock

07:09that we've seen Thea use on NXT

07:11time and time again.

07:12Certainly rallying right now.

07:15You can feel Thea Hale's

07:16confidence growing by the second.

07:18This is the pace

07:20at which she thrives.

07:22And that's a great point

07:23you bring up

07:23because it is the pace

07:24that she thrives.

07:25Full throttle.

07:27Boom!

07:28Explode her out of the corner.

07:29Right back up.

07:30Big kick right to the face.

07:32Into the cover.

07:33Both shoulders down.

07:35I think we need to be

07:36on upset alert, Vic.

07:37So close to that upset

07:39and I'm glad we agree on that

07:40because this would be

07:41an upset

07:42for Thea Hale

07:44who just got countered.

07:45Almost like a dragon sleeper

07:46right now.

07:47I thought that's what exactly

07:47Ivan I was looking for.

07:49Transitioning right back in.

07:50Looking for a suplex.

07:51Inside cradle.

07:52Kick out.

07:54Angela momentum

07:55swinging back and forth.

07:57Oh, no.

07:58Genoku driver.

07:59Will it be enough?

08:01And another near fall.

08:03What a matchup

08:04between these two women

08:06here on Main Event.

08:07I love what we just saw there.

08:08A moment of shock there

08:09for Thea Hale

08:10and kind of smacking her head,

08:11smacking her temple

08:12going, stay in the game.

08:14Refocused.

08:15High cross body.

08:16Oh, wow.

08:17Got caught.

08:18That was like a mini

08:18power slam almost.

08:20Great display of strength

08:21by Ivy Nile.

08:22Nice adjustment

08:23at the last second.

08:25And strength on display

08:26one more time.

08:29Power personified

08:30as Nile victorious.

08:34Here is your winner.

08:36Ivy Nile.

08:37Ivy Nile.
