00:00Well, we're about to find out which two will have the most time to spend in this match.
00:12And two to three first, from Boynton Beach Court, Kalani Jordan!
00:19And look, are she as confident as ever?
00:21How does a superstar's confidence grow after their first world title win?
00:27I'm not just talking about any title.
00:28She is a former women's world champion, having held the TNA knockouts title.
00:33The optimal word right there was world champion.
00:36Not just that, at so young.
00:39Kalani Jordan has such an upside because of her confidence, as well as her in-me IQ, like I say, at such a young age.
00:46She's special. She's special, man.
00:49Well, she will have the entire time to soak up as many pins, get as many submissions, as many decisions as she can.
00:56So, as of right now, time is certainly on her side, and also whomever she's facing first.
01:02She is the evil women's champion, Kendall Gray!
01:25Well, we see Ren Sinclair heading to the back, and I've got to get your thoughts on John Cena's hand-picked field.
01:31Cena has to be sitting back, enjoying tonight, enjoying what he's about to witness.
01:35One week before his last match on Saturday night's main event in the nation's capital, as he'll be facing Gunther.
01:42I mean, the field of John Cena actually picked, I mean, it's stacked.
01:46I'm trying to get ahead of myself because we still got more to come out here.
01:50But, um, Kendall Gray, she's young, impressionable now.
01:53She's the evolved champion.
01:55She's got a lot to prove in a match like this.
01:57A place that John Cena was once in himself.
02:01Three is the number of most eliminations in a single women's Iron Survivor matchup.
02:08And, again, we're going to have a scoreboard up.
02:09You're going to see all the competitors.
02:11The competitors, with every decision, that number will go up.
02:14The penalty box is right here to our right, lit up right now in red.
02:18You suffer a decision.
02:20You head in there for 20 seconds.
02:21Big! Big!
02:22It's about to pop off!
02:23It's about to pop off, dog!
02:25Relax!
02:26And look at the, what do you mean, relax?
02:27I am calm, cool, and collected.
02:28You're the one sweating and fanning yourself right now.
02:30As Kalani Jordan and Kendall Gray start.
02:32Oh, here we go.
02:33You got to wonder, too, when it comes to Ren Sinclair, how much advice did she give?
02:38Sinclair, of course, was in this match just one year ago.
02:40Ren Sinclair was also a part of the NQCC.
02:44She has a lot of knowledge as far as Matt Wrestling as well as Kendall Gray.
02:48So, iron sharpens iron, Vic.
02:50That's certainly true.
02:51And, whoa!
02:52A miss.
02:53Whoa, here we go!
02:53Handed the cover, looking for that first quick decision.
02:55That was so smart.
02:56So smart.
02:57You got to know how to.
02:57Don't have found one more time.
02:58I don't know how to maximize every second in this matchup right here, because it's all
03:02about strategy.
03:03You said it earlier, Vic.
03:04The ultimate strategy.
03:06Who's going to have it?
03:07Whoa!
03:09Look at the core strength.
03:10Kalani trying to turn this into a backslide of sorts.
03:14Referee in this matchup.
03:15Derek Sanders.
03:16Jeremy Marcus is here to our right, watching the door.
03:19Trying to go low, right up and over.
03:20There's that athletic background, but there's nothing athletic about a slap.
03:23Oh, yeah.
03:24You got to give the advantage to Kalani Jordan, though, in this matchup.
03:28I mean, she's been here.
03:29She's done that.
03:30Kimber Gray, she's just now trying to feel her way through this thing.
03:34I get, oh, well, wait a minute, but she's good.
03:36A little bit of an alligator roll, another kick.
03:37I'm glad you bring up Kalani Jordan, who has been here, because, yes, she has competed in
03:41this matchup before.
03:42I want to remind you, she had no decisions in that matchup when she competed in 2023.
03:47Big Goosey.
03:48You know, that's got to fuel her.
03:49Yeah, yeah.
03:49Yeah, it was a Big Goosey, but she was running up.
03:51She came so close.
03:52She came so close to actually winning the thing.
03:54So, my thing is, Kalani Jordan definitely could come out on top of this thing.
03:58Going up, going over is the all-women's champion double stop to the gun.
04:02Here we go.
04:03Is this going to be the first decision?
04:04And you look at the clock on the left.
04:06You see that's counting up right now, just over one minute and 48 seconds.
04:09When that hits five minutes, the next superstar will come into this matchup.
04:14You're going to see a lot of time flashing up.
04:16This is my favorite matchup of the year here at NXT.
04:23And the other thing that's interesting, whoa, inside cradle.
04:25Shoulders are down.
04:27Shifting some weight again.
04:28Shoulders down.
04:29Going to see a lot of try-to-get-quick decisions as we see some back and forth between these
04:33two women in a kickout.
04:35You know, the NXT universe that's sitting here, this match goes 25 minutes.
04:38It doesn't go 20 minutes.
04:39It doesn't go 18.
04:40It goes a full 25.
04:41You certainly cannot win this matchup up front, but you also give the opening to somebody
04:46to pick up some positions.
04:47Oh, man, that's about weathering that storm, trying to pick up, you know, one here, trying
04:51to pick up a point there.
04:52And the thing is, Kalani Jordan, I don't think she's thinking about that right now.
04:56She's trying to go out here and wrestle Kendall Gray instead of going out there and trying
05:00to pick up a victory, dog, by any means necessary.
05:04And as I said earlier, too, it's hard to argue, but Kalani hasn't really shot.
05:08Kalani as of late.
05:10Think of all the great things she's done, the championship goal that she's won, the
05:13new attitude that she now has.
05:15Look, sometimes you've got to lose to know how to win.
05:17Kalani Jordan, she knows that.
05:18Northern suplex with a bridge and a kickout.
05:21She knows that.
05:21The thing about Kalani Jordan is, like I say, Vic, she's young in this game, but she's so
05:25experienced.
05:26First North American women's champion as well as she's going down there to TNA and just
05:31rocked the whole damn house.
05:33Come on, man.
05:34Give her a credit.
05:35You also just saw Kalani look up at the plop.
05:37She knows she has less than two minutes of just having this matchup as a one-on-one before
05:40it turns into a triple threat, before it turns into a four-way, before it turns into a five-way
05:45matchup.
05:46And you talk about, boom, a passbreaker.
05:47There he is.
05:48Get a cover here, quick.
05:49Get a cover.
05:50That was excellently executed, but only a two-count.
05:53Look at the past winners.
05:54And let's start with, as we get another cover and a kickout, let's start with the first
05:58one to ever do it, your prodigy, Roxanne Perez.
06:01Let's talk about last year's winner, Julia, as we see this back in the game, a now former
06:05women's world champion.
06:08This matchup certainly is a springboard to success.
06:12When you talk about those women, I mean, Roxanne Perez, it catapulted her career all the way
06:16to the main roster, baby.
06:18Let me tell you something.
06:19When you get to the main roster, it's a...
06:21Whoa!
06:22Whoa!
06:22When you get to the main roster, it's a big check.
06:24Wait, no.
06:25Oh!
06:25Under 60 seconds until the third superstar will enter this match randomly selected earlier
06:32today.
06:32No points on the board either.
06:34Certainly is not.
06:34That's something we're going to keep our eye on.
06:36I mean, this is just such a unique matchup, unlike anything in the WWE, on display.
06:42Oh!
06:43Right here at NXT.
06:44Nasty landing and a vicious kick from Kalani.
06:48Kalani got that attitude now, which she understands.
06:50Big leg drop.
06:51This is my bitch.
06:52This is my bitch.
06:53This is my baby.
06:54In the back of the deck.
06:54Oh, yes!
06:55Almost getting that first decision.
06:57Stay on the gas, Kalani.
06:58You got about 20 seconds.
07:01But are you seeing what could be setting up for that one-of-a-kind instead?
07:05Switching gears.
07:06Looking down.
07:06Looking for that frog splash rolling right through.
07:09Is there a sense of almost desperation?
07:11Oh, baby.
07:12Out of nowhere.
07:13Oh, baby.
07:13We got our first decision.
07:14You gotta be kidding me.
07:17We got our first decision right before the five.
07:21Wow.
07:23And now who's coming down?
07:26The Juggernaut.
07:28Jordan going to the penalty box.
07:30And let's set the stage right now.
07:33Jordan Grace is here.
07:34She's fresh.
07:35Kalani Jordan, you're right.
07:36She is now in the penalty box for 90 seconds.
07:39And that clock starts as soon as her feet hit outside of the ring.
07:43You see her in your bottom part of your screen.
07:45Jeremy Marcus, the official, is going to be there to open the door when that one-minute clock hits zero.
07:51As we are five minutes, five and a half minutes, excuse me, and change into this match.
07:56I mean, Jordan Grace has a moment here.
07:59I mean, this is the biggest moment perhaps in Jordan Grace's career here in NXT.
08:03She's a three-time knockouts champion.
08:05But she's a zero-time NXT champion.
08:08Oh, yes.
08:09High-impact offense.
08:10So let me ask you this, Book.
08:12Is she feeling the most pressure to win here?
08:15And she's looking for Grace under pressure.
08:17I think so.
08:18Without a shot, over time.
08:19Cover.
08:19Referee.
08:19That's why right now Jordan Grace is going downhill.
08:23And she's picking up steam.
08:25That's the Juggernaut, man.
08:26Check it out.
08:27Check it out.
08:28Oh, yes, man.
08:29She was not able to get the decision.
08:31And she has to enjoy seeing Kalani.
08:34That being Kalani Jordan in the penalty box.
08:36There's a lot of beef between those two women.
08:37But something to keep our eye on throughout the night.
08:39As we go up, we go over.
08:40And a kick out.
08:41Rolling right through.
08:43Oh, wait a minute.
08:44That's a submission.
08:45This is innovative, Booker.
08:47I've never seen this before.
08:50Verbal tap.
08:51Verbal tap.
08:51There was no verbal tap.
08:53But look, the zero hit.
08:54And Kalani coming right back into the matchup.
08:56And that's the dangers of that 90.
08:58So you've got to have your eyes all around.
09:00And you also start to wonder.
09:01As we're 640 into this matchup, you've got to go 25 minutes.
09:05Kalani and maybe even Kendall.
09:07Well, when does the stamina factor come into play, Booker?
09:11I don't think the stamina factor is going to come into play for Kendall.
09:14She's the youngest in this.
09:15Roll through, roll through, roll through.
09:16Right here.
09:17That's it.
09:18Whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:19Wait a minute.
09:19Another counter.
09:20Man.
09:21But it comes back to that 90 seconds inside the penalty blocks.
09:24I mean, that's an obvious time to catch your win.
09:26As right now, getting caught in an ankle lock was Kalani.
09:28Kalani rolling through.
09:30Center of the ring.
09:30Still no decisions.
09:31And right now, it is 1-0 in favor of the Evolve Women's Champion.
09:35Counter.
09:35Oh, baby.
09:36Oh, yes.
09:37Wow.
09:40Jordan now on the board.
09:42Gray to the penalty box.
09:44Beautiful counter.
09:45Double counter there by Kalani Jordan.
09:47But this is what I was getting to, Booker.
09:48Now, look at who are the two stars in this matchup.
09:51It's the two women that are right now just spitting venom at one another.
09:55Can they keep their emotions in check?
09:57It really is about competition and being the champion in this business.
10:01I don't think it's personal or anything like that.
10:03Not the way you think.
10:04That's true.
10:04And when it comes to someone like Jordan Grace, first time competing under this sort of stipulation,
10:10she certainly has game-changing power as we're seeing right now.
10:13But there's a roll through.
10:15Big time.
10:15Was looking for a pin and a nice short-arm clothesline, but didn't relinquish the hold.
10:19Continuing to apply the pressure because Jordan has 45 more seconds in this matchup where it's just her.
10:24The strength right now just came to play from Jordan Grace blocked that whatever Kalani was trying to attempt.
10:33Big kick.
10:34Big swing and a miss with an elbow.
10:35That kick connected.
10:36Rocking the body for a second.
10:38Ooh, big DDT.
10:40A victory here for Kalani.
10:41Jordan would put her back in front.
10:44And a kick out.
10:45Under 30 seconds, though, for these two women when Gray will come out of the penalty box.
10:51I got to ask you this, too,
10:53because we're still in the early part of this match.
10:55Would you prefer entering early or entering later in the match?
10:58Would you want more time, or would you want everybody to be more damaged?
11:01I want to see everybody.
11:02I want to scout everybody.
11:03I want to see what kind of, you know, opportunities that I can exploit.
11:07As well as I can exploit.
11:09Like you just said, stamina.
11:10Oh, yeah.
11:12Got caught sleeping right there.
11:14Beautiful.
11:15And that was Jordan Grace, who was watching the clock, knew just when that door would open.
11:20It pounced.
11:20It's up and over.
11:22Nasty landing.
11:23And I don't mean for Kalani.
11:25I meant for Jordan.
11:26That knee right to the face.
11:27Crawling in for another cover.
11:29Got to get another decision.
11:30And another kick out, because we're under 90 seconds until the fourth superstar will enter.
11:35Look at the knee.
11:36Right there.
11:37That was gnarly right there.
11:41I'm telling you right now.
11:42Kalani Jordan, she's not going to let off the gas.
11:45She's going for it.
11:45She certainly isn't, but you just said this.
11:47How should superstars waiting to come out here be looking for weaknesses in others?
11:52You said you'd be scouting.
11:53What should they be looking for?
11:55Like I say, stamina.
11:56You know, if there's a little peak here, an injury, you talked about that knee from Kalani Jordan.
12:01Yes, you're going to be looking for stuff like that.
12:03Here we go, baby.
12:05We're up top.
12:0615 more seconds and counting until the fourth superstar will enter.
12:10You see the scoreboard.
12:11We're knotted at one.
12:15Oh, man.
12:18Who will it be?
12:25Oh, Book's getting hot.
12:27Oh, yeah, baby.
12:29Cholula Green time.
12:31Educated feet.
12:32Going to work.
12:33There's no doubt she's the best striker in this matchup.
12:37Yeah, it's going to take a lot more than that.
12:39But right now, just got going with that big back fist.
12:41Cover, cover, cover, cover, cover.
12:43And Lola comes in.
12:45That's sort of point.
12:46Lola comes in and just like that picks up a fall, picks up a decision.
12:50Booker, she did that in less than 30 seconds.
12:52And right now, those feet of fury are firing.
12:56Ooh, Kalani may not want to do that.
12:58And Kalani may be thinking second about sticking her nose in Lola's business.
13:03Lola's been at the top of her game right here.
13:05Oh, here we go.
13:07Ah, yeah.
13:08Here we go.
13:08One more time.
13:09Jordan wasn't going to let you have any more.
13:11Ah!
13:12Big German suplex, though, from Lola.
13:14Swing and a miss.
13:15Lola catching Kalani.
13:16Double your pleasure.
13:17Double your fun.
13:18Statement with a double German suplex.
13:21And oh, well, I bite my tongue.
13:23The floor is yours, Book.
13:24Oh, here we go, baby.
13:27Ah, ah.
13:29Hey, gee, gee, gee.
13:31Whoa, whoa.
13:33Whoa.
13:34And Lola Vice turning things around, and she's done it less than 90 seconds into this matchup.
13:40Big side suplex cover and a kickout.
13:4330 seconds until we're back to a four-way matchup as Lola crawling over for another cover and another kickout.
13:49But I want to talk about how unique this match is.
13:51It's unlike anything, as I mentioned.
13:53It's elements of a gauntlet match, an Iron Man match, a championship scramble,
13:56the ultimate test of strategy and endurance.
14:00There's so many variables in a match like this.
14:02It's almost impossible to really prepare for.
14:05But you do have to have some sort of strategy coming into a game like this right here.
14:10Well, it's quite the 25 minutes.
14:12Creativity, the crux of what this brand is.
14:14Oh, wait a minute.
14:15Wait a minute.
14:16Shoulders are down and a kickout as the penalty box has just opened up.
14:20And we're back to a full playing field.
14:22And in less than three minutes, the final superstar will enter this matchup.
14:27Killer Gray has been so impressed.
14:29Whoa.
14:30She's been so impressed.
14:30Talking about stamina.
14:32I don't think she's going to have a problem with stamina, Vickie.
14:35Coming right through.
14:35Oh, baby.
14:36Looking for a submission right now.
14:37Looking to extend that arm.
14:38Trying to hyperextend the left arm.
14:40Trying to get a submission on Jordan Grace.
14:42Grace doing a great job of blocking that by not breaking the grip.
14:45Shifting weight.
14:46Shoulders down.
14:47And again, going right back out.
14:48Pop!
14:49Connor!
14:49Connor!
14:49Whoa!
14:50Kendall Gray has scored a point.
14:52And you've got to go back to being in the penalty box.
14:55Gray has lost twice.
14:56She's been able to regroup herself.
14:57That's not part of a strategy.
14:58I mean, it is, isn't it?
14:59I don't think it's that.
15:01I think, you know, the last person you're going to prepare for in a matchup like this is Kendall Gray.
15:05I think that's it.
15:06I think that's what the problem is right here.
15:08Jordan Grace, a long walk is Kalani Jordan.
15:11If at first you don't succeed, try again.
15:13Looking for that.
15:14Ooh.
15:16Looking for that one-of-a-kind.
15:17Split-legged moonsault was not able to get it.
15:19Grace in the penalty box for just over one minute.
15:21Under two minutes until the final superstar will enter the matchup.
15:25Well, what is going on?
15:26Wow!
15:27Super German!
15:28Got all of it.
15:29Turning Kalani inside out.
15:30Big knee from Lola Vice!
15:31Lola!
15:32Oh, and then she picked up the scraps!
15:33Double stopped by Kendall.
15:36In the right place at the right time, Kendall Gray.
15:37Like I say, man, she's a special type of talent, man.
15:42There you see Grace trying to get a few more breaths to refocus herself.
15:46Here's the massive replay.
15:47What a sequence of events in this matchup.
15:50Lola almost able to pick up another decision, which would have tied this matchup at two.
15:57But I also have to throw this out of the six total survivors.
16:00Maybe luck is on Lola's side because four of those six winners have entered at either number four or number five.
16:07As we're just over a minute from the fifth superstar.
16:09Oh, wow!
16:10Look here, man.
16:11Entering this match.
16:12Not just that, man.
16:13The pace.
16:13The pace of this match right here.
16:14The ladies are definitely keeping up with that pace because right now it is fast and furious, Vic.
16:20And Kendall Gray is in front of it.
16:22Trust me, man.
16:23Oh, wait a minute.
16:25Lola is a half second away.
16:26Penalty box is back to zero.
16:28Oh!
16:29I don't know if it was seen, but Jordan Grace just kicked that door open and it knocked down and maybe knocked out Kalani Jordan.
16:36As Grace has come back in here, she's rested.
16:39She's ready.
16:40There's no love lost in a matchup like this.
16:42This is a history-making match, and Jordan Grace is about to get her moment into shining the spotlight.
16:49Here we go.
16:50One more time, baby.
16:51Taking the plunge.
16:53Wow, she kicked out.
16:54Swing and a miss.
16:55Lola Vaiso getting rolled up.
16:56Rolling right through.
16:57Back up.
16:58Kick got countered.
16:59Oh, my word.
17:01Beautiful.
17:01Jordan Grace, less than 20 seconds until Sol Ruka will enter this matchup.
17:05Looking for her first decision in this match is Jordan, and a kick out from Lola.
17:09Yeah, Jordan Grace, I've helped you to hook the leg right there.
17:12She kind of got a three count.
17:14High cross body.
17:15Rolling through.
17:16Into the cover.
17:17Deep pitch.
17:18Oh, wow.
17:18Jordan Grace has scored a point.
17:20And that's got to feel great for Jordan to pin Kalani, but here comes the final superstar.
17:29Get ready to ride the wave of momentum.
17:32Sol Ruka has entered this matchup, and now all the—hey!
17:36Kalani's supposed to be in the box.
17:38Talk about that—
17:38No!
17:39She talked about that knee, and trust me, right now, Sol Ruka is compromised before she got out the box.
17:46Well, we all know that knee is obviously an issue.
17:49Everyone knows it.
17:50And I was just getting ready to talk about a big December for Sol, but we got to talk about Jordan Grace,
17:55who just got rolled through, trying to take out two, looking for a double combination, and a kick up and a double submission.
18:01What a match!
18:03It—no, Brooke.
18:08I know we got a double submission.
18:10Referee doing his job.
18:11Kalani with a sinister stare on her face, but not like this for Sol Ruka.
18:15Double pin again, double kick out.
18:17So much going on.
18:18Grace rolling through, and another near fall.
18:22Yeah, Kalani very happy with herself.
18:24Just unfortunate.
18:24I mean, I mean, the accident has happened.
18:27Well, we got to get back to the field at Frey.
18:3030 seconds for Jordan.
18:31I'm trying to get myself back into this match after what we just witnessed is a back and forth between these two women.
18:38Lola trying to sit down and another kick out.
18:40You know, and I guess to get us back into what we're witnessing here, as now we have less than 10 minutes in this matchup,
18:47what is the women's champion, J.C. Jain, thinking right now in this moment?
18:51Oh, J.C. Jain's thinking like everybody else.
18:53It's a hell of a matchup right here.
18:55Who's going to—who's going to wind up the winner?
18:58That's—that's the question right there, Vic.
19:00Jordan Grace, you got to be feeling some extra information.
19:02Oh, baby!
19:03But that clock is done.
19:05The penalty box is open.
19:06She's feeling it.
19:07This could be her moment.
19:09U.S.T.D.
19:11Oh, man.
19:12Sorry for a man who put her in this match, John Cena.
19:15But he also put Kalani Jordan.
19:18Who's finished.
19:20Doesn't care about the people.
19:22Doesn't care about the locker room.
19:24Probably doesn't care that John Cena even put her in this match.
19:27But everybody else does.
19:28Standing switch, though, behind Lola.
19:30Meeting of the Minds.
19:30Kalani rolling through, shoulders down center of the ring near fall.
19:34Take a look at the scoreboard.
19:35But right now in the driver's seat is Kendall Gray.
19:38She's got the most victories as everyone right now is playing catch-up.
19:41So, Rupi, you may be wondering.
19:43She is not here.
19:43She was taken to the back from our medical team after what transpired as she came into the match.
19:50Oh, balance.
19:52Kalani.
19:53Oh!
19:54Big kick.
19:55And I still can't believe she blames Jordan Grace for her shortcomings at Gold Rush.
19:59As Grace trying to dump Kalani to the outside.
20:03You said it earlier.
20:03No love lost between these two.
20:05But they got to look past each other to focus on the Mets.
20:08Oh, no, no, no.
20:08Oh, you got to be kidding me.
20:11Spanish fly to the floor.
20:13That's what all caught you to the wind right there.
20:15By any means, that's a serian.
20:17Oh, my God.
20:18It's sold.
20:19Look who's back.
20:20She's not going to be held down.
20:22She's not going to stop.
20:24She just ran back out here.
20:25We're at full strength.
20:27If you talk about hockey, the penalty box is empty.
20:30We're at full strength in this match.
20:32Sol Ruka smashing some souls.
20:35Stole one right there.
20:36Stole nothing, damn it.
20:38Cover.
20:39Wow.
20:39It's on.
20:40Get the own soul to the other.
20:41Soul on lower.
20:42Soul on lower.
20:43Sol Ruka has sworn two points.
20:46And just like that, soul has changed it all.
20:51And there's the two women that are in the driver's seat right now.
20:54Lola Vice, Jordan, Grace.
20:56It's the first time two women have been in the penalty box.
20:58This match goes to 25 minutes.
21:00We're just over six minutes left.
21:02Who will be the women's Iron Survivor?
21:03Who will be the number one contender?
21:05Who will head to New Year's Evil?
21:08I'm so impressed with Sol Ruka coming back out here with a bum knee.
21:13Compromise.
21:13Oh, but...
21:14They might have slipped, but again,
21:15you talk about the bum knee.
21:16She's fighting through the pain right now.
21:18She's fighting through it all.
21:20Another German suplex.
21:21Big December with Sol.
21:23Not just tonight, but also next Saturday in D.C.
21:26Saturday night's main event.
21:27She'll face Bayley.
21:29It's time to step up if you're Sol.
21:31And that's what she's doing on one damn wall.
21:37Sol is not going to be stopped.
21:38Big knee right under the jaw to take the lead late.
21:43Oh, breaking it up.
21:44Because, look, Booker, look at the clock.
21:4619 minutes, 30 seconds.
21:48Five and a half minutes left in this match.
21:51Sol Ruka went out there and she did a hell of a job.
21:53She gathered two points and she's going for another one right here.
21:58I don't know what this is, but here we go.
22:00Well, that's one way to get in to what looks to be a dragon sleeper cinched in in the center
22:07of the ring.
22:08And now Jordan Grace.
22:11What's Grace thinking?
22:12Look at the penalty box clock.
22:15Grace right now, Sol with a double submission.
22:18Wait a minute.
22:19And the clock in the penalty box.
22:21Who's going to get that point?
22:22Whoa.
22:22There was no submission.
22:24There's no one tapping in the ring.
22:25A tap doesn't do any good on the outside.
22:27But Lola Vice getting back into the ring and breaking it out.
22:29Oh, yes.
22:30Educated feet, baby.
22:31Oh, yes.
22:33Well, it didn't catch Jordan to begin with.
22:35Caught her the second time around.
22:36And now she's looking for the submission.
22:39Rolling through.
22:40Lola Vice can pick the point.
22:41No, no, no, no, no.
22:42Now another dragon.
22:43Big knee right under the jaw.
22:44Lola Vice.
22:45I mean, these five women came to play.
22:48All action personified right here.
22:49X marks the spot.
22:51So, Ruka's.
22:52She's on fire, man.
22:53You got to think Ruka's the favorite to come into this women's iron Survivor match.
22:57You think so?
22:57You think so?
22:58I do think so.
22:59She came in five.
23:00I think she's the odds-on favorite coming in with all the momentum.
23:03Ah!
23:04Okay, I don't think that's a good one.
23:05I don't think you're a handicap.
23:07Is this going to be a no?
23:07Oh, yeah.
23:09Wow.
23:09Making it up at the last second was Kalani.
23:11We're inside the final five minutes.
23:13Jordan into the cover.
23:14Wow.
23:14We got a three-way tie.
23:15Kalani Jordan has scored a point.
23:18We got a three-way tie right now, Book.
23:20And we have just four minutes left.
23:24Minutes.
23:26There's Sol Ruka.
23:27Not at 100%.
23:28She did pin J.C. Jane this past Tuesday.
23:31There's the rest of the field.
23:32And we have a minute 15 for Jordan Grace, who's headed to the penalty box.
23:37NXT!
23:38NXT!
23:39NXT!
23:40NXT!
23:41NXT!
23:43NXT!
23:43And the words of John Cena, you want some?
23:46Come get some!
23:47Here we go!
23:48It's all breaking down.
23:5060 seconds left for Grace.
23:52And you got to wonder, Jordan Grace has to be feeling it right now.
23:54Because the time in the match is ticking away.
23:56Jordan is in the best spot, like you said.
23:59The sand of the hourglass is running out, man.
24:02It certainly is.
24:03As right now, big dropkick wiping out Kalani Jordan.
24:06Again, there is a three-way tie.
24:07As Lola Vais just wiped out Gray on the outside.
24:10Sol Ruka's the only one standing.
24:12Look at the clock on the far left.
24:14We have just three minutes in this matchup.
24:1830 seconds for Jordan Grace.
24:20Kalani Jordan, springboard moonsault.
24:22She's the one standing.
24:24She's got 25 seconds right now to get someone's body back in the ring.
24:28And it's going to be Lola Vais.
24:29All action personified here at this moment, Victor.
24:32Kalani looking at the clock, realizing this is that opportunity.
24:35This is that moment.
24:36Boom!
24:36Big slam.
24:37Is this going to be enough?
24:38She's got 10 seconds, so Jordan Grace comes back in.
24:41She's scaling to the top.
24:42She's looking to fly.
24:44They're looking for a 450.
24:45Didn't add up.
24:46Rolling right through.
24:48Back up both these women.
24:49But again, we're back to full strength.
24:51Jordan Grace is back into this match.
24:57German superlinks with a blockbuster combo of sorts.
25:01Grace is the one who's in control.
25:03She's also down a decision.
25:05Hoisting up the body.
25:07Jordan need a point.
25:07She needs to get on the point.
25:08A release favorite superstar.
25:10Oh, that is.
25:11Booker with a four-way tie.
25:13Meteora center of the ring.
25:15Kick out.
25:16Four-way tie, though.
25:17Big kick from Lola Vais.
25:18Vais falls into the cover.
25:20Whoa.
25:21Lola Vais.
25:22I think that was one point.
25:23I think that point right there is going to seal this thing, man.
25:25Booker, we're at a five-way tie at two.
25:28This is a five-way tie.
25:29We've never had a five-way tie like this.
25:31This late in the game.
25:32Chopping on the body of Sol.
25:34The injured knee.
25:36Jordan Grace.
25:37Jordan Grace.
25:37Look at the strength of Jordan.
25:38Whoa.
25:40Sol having to roll right through.
25:41And there's a lot of bodies in the penalty box.
25:42They got to be feeling the anxiousness.
25:44They got to be feeling that right now because they're looking at the game clock at 23 and
25:48a half.
25:49The spine just met steel.
25:51And on the outside, everyone's here.
25:53Everyone's in front of us.
25:54But time is the enemy.
25:56Time is the factor.
25:57And we got a five-way tie at two.
26:00Lola Vais got it locked in.
26:01And right now, Sohruka is grimacing, man.
26:04Right now, she's about to lose consciousness real quick.
26:07And again, continuing to fight through the pain.
26:09She's got so much on her mind.
26:11Bayley next week.
26:12Zarya, who we saw her talking to earlier.
26:14And trying to break the hole and did.
26:17Wow.
26:1730 seconds for Kalani.
26:20Under 40 seconds for Gray.
26:21And it left.
26:22We're under 60 seconds in this match.
26:25Tied at two.
26:26Who will get the deciding factor?
26:28What the hell is going to happen in San Antonio?
26:32No, no, no.
26:33You don't think.
26:34She's not going to do that.
26:35Ah!
26:36A soul snatcher.
26:40If she can get Lola in the ring, she's got a decision.
26:45Holy shit!
26:46Holy shit!
26:47Booker, 30 seconds.
26:4830 seconds left.
26:4930 seconds left in this matchup.
26:51Kalani just broke free.
26:52Oh, a cheap shot.
26:53Kicking out, taking out the knee.
26:54Oh, baby.
26:55All the way to the top.
26:56Oh, baby.
26:57Oh, baby.
26:5920 seconds on the clock.
27:00Let's try to break it up the count.
27:03Jordan Grace right now.
27:04Getting rid of Kalani.
27:06You can see.
27:06Oh, pulled down.
27:08Wait a minute.
27:08The clock hit zero.
27:09Kendall's out of the box.
27:11Off the top.
27:13Shaves of Gray.
27:14No way.
27:14One, two, three.
27:17Kendall Gray has scored a point.
27:19And we got a shocker in San Antonio.
27:22Here is your winner and the new number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship, Kendall Gray.
27:39Wow.
27:40Rod, you gotta be kidding.
27:42Kendall Gray, the youngest.
27:45Some would say the rookie.
27:47We're not there.
27:48Blackboard, Harrod Ali.
27:49It's 64.
27:51Shot the world, man.
27:53Shot the world.
27:54You gotta love it, dog.
27:57Wow.
27:58The most exciting, fastest, 25 minutes in the WWE.
28:06Let's go back to some of this action, this matchup.
28:08Sol Rukin had left the match.
28:10Barely said, damn, I'm not listening to you.
28:12The medical team ran back out here.
28:15Wow.
28:15And was able to pick up not one, but two quick decisions.
28:19That put her in the driver's seat, of course.
28:21And as a lot of superstars were sitting in the penalty box, a lot of superstars were sitting
28:25there thinking, waiting.
28:27They were watching others earn victories.
28:29They were watching others stack bodies, stack points, just like Kalani Jordan did right
28:35here to Jordan Grace.
28:37This was such a matchup built on strategy, stamina, tactics.
28:42We saw almost this moment here for Jordan Grace, but you can't celebrate in this sort
28:47of matchup.
28:47There's no time to do so.
28:49The action continued to go.
28:51As you see in the background, the clock was running down.
28:54Lola Vice picked up a decision.
28:56That tied everything at two falls apiece.
28:58But when the time was winding out, when the time mattered the most, this was the deciding
29:03factor.
29:04That was the deciding blow.
29:06And that is what made Kendall Gray the Iron Survivor.
29:12And we now know the date is set for these two women.
29:19The question is, who will walk out of New Year's Evil NXT Women's Champion?
29:28And I asked earlier what was going through the mind of our champion.
29:33She sees the field.
29:35She sees the winner.
29:36And she sees who is next in line.
