00:00Still being felt from our last contest.
00:03Bad blood still boiling tonight.
00:18The following contest scheduled for one fall
00:22is for the NXT North American Championship!
00:30Introducing first, from Culiacom, Mexico,
00:34weighing in at 75 kilos,
00:38Mr. Iguana!
00:44Some of us remember when these first came out in 1984,
00:48the LJN superstar figures.
00:50They are back, starring the legendary Hulk Hogan.
00:53Rest in peace.
00:54John Cena, the greatest of all time,
00:56along with Dusty Rhodes and Logan Paul.
00:57And they're back in stores exclusively at Target now.
01:03But listen to the sold-out universe in San Antonio.
01:07Oh, man.
01:09Of course, he couldn't let anyone have any fun.
01:11And his opponents, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada,
01:26weighing in at 245 pounds.
01:29He is one half of the AAA Mixtap,
01:34and the NXT North American Champion,
01:40Paul-Legal, Ethan Page!
01:49Booker, have you ever had a pain in your side like Page has
01:53with Mr. Iguana?
01:56Let me just say this first.
01:59Let's go, champ!
02:00Double champ!
02:01Look at him!
02:02He's looking real, real good
02:05with all the gold!
02:07Drake!
02:07Oh, yes, man!
02:09Obviously, you know, he'll be one-sided in this match.
02:11No, no, no, no.
02:12I'm not saying that at all.
02:13I mean, I like the page of Mr. Iguana.
02:16I mean, my thing is this.
02:17My thing is this.
02:19Why?
02:20Why are we having this match?
02:21Huh?
02:21It was a lot of fun.
02:22We had a lot of fun with it.
02:24But why is Mr. Iguana
02:25getting a title shot at that right there?
02:28Oh, the illustrious gold.
02:29Why?
02:30Huh?
02:30Tell me.
02:31I'm not the general manager.
02:32I'm not Avis.
02:33She's the one who signed off.
02:34Oh, now you tight-lipped.
02:35Oh, now you tight-lipped for a change.
02:38Oh!
02:39Why don't you go back and ask her, book?
02:41I could use like five minutes as me out here.
02:43Why don't you go back there and ask her right now?
02:45Because this is the bottom line.
02:46Doesn't matter.
02:47Bottom line is just match to happen.
02:48It doesn't matter.
02:49I mean, this is a chance for Ethan Page
02:51to go out here and shit Iguana up once and fall.
02:54So I'll ask you again.
02:54Have you ever had a pain in your side
02:56like Page has with Mr. Iguana?
02:57This isn't a one-time thing.
02:59No, I have had that.
02:59But my thing is, you deal with it.
03:01You go out there and deal with it
03:02just like Ethan Page is going to be right.
03:04He's got all that green paint on him already.
03:07Come on, man.
03:08Mr. Iguana.
03:12Unique.
03:12Stop me.
03:12Have you ever faced anyone as unique as Mr. Iguana?
03:16What is it?
03:17Iguana play dead or something like that
03:19if they think they're in danger.
03:20They never like.
03:22I don't know.
03:22You'd have to ask Mr. Regal about the reptiles.
03:24That's the case, right?
03:25I think that's what it is.
03:27They play dead when they think they're in danger
03:29and right now, Iguana is in a lot of damn danger here.
03:32Well, why isn't Page trying to go for the cover there?
03:35Wheeling him around?
03:35I mean...
03:36What's he looking at you for?
03:42Did he just say he was out?
03:43Maybe he heard what you had to say, Booker.
03:51He's dead.
03:52He's dead.
03:53He's dead.
03:54I wouldn't go that far, Booker.
03:56I mean, come on now.
03:57I mean, Ethan Page...
03:58Whoa, yeah, is he?
03:59Just sprung to life.
04:01Whoa.
04:01Whoa.
04:01Whoa.
04:02I don't like this guy.
04:05All right?
04:06Let's just...
04:07Let's make that clear, all right?
04:08I don't like Iguana.
04:10Why not?
04:11Listen to this place.
04:12They love him.
04:15Holy 31!
04:18Holy 31!
04:20Sick.
04:21Listen to San Antonio.
04:22Why can't you have fun, Booker?
04:24Why are you such a promoter?
04:25I'm gonna have fun.
04:26Do you not believe in Santa Claus?
04:27Do you believe in Krampus?
04:29Can we be serious?
04:30This is a championship match, all right?
04:31It's for the North American...
04:32I get that it's for...
04:33This is about Ethan Page's North American...
04:35One of the greatest, if not the greatest,
04:37North American champion of all time.
04:39Well, he's about to lose it here.
04:40Crucifix-style pin and a kick-out.
04:42Mr. Iguana has never held a singles title in his career.
04:47Which goes to my point.
04:48Why is he getting a title shot here tonight?
04:50Can you answer that?
04:51I already answered it once.
04:52I gotta ask the general manager.
04:56Ethan Page not very happy right now.
04:57Page looking around at the official.
05:00But look, Mr. Iguana, you asked me why?
05:01Because he's stolen...
05:02How about this one?
05:03Because he has stolen the hearts of the WWE Universe.
05:06They want to see Mr. Iguana.
05:08They want to see him get the opportunity.
05:09And they want to see...
05:11Yes, Scott!
05:12ODT!
05:13Take care of bitch, Ethan.
05:15Quit messing around with this sucker.
05:17And get him out of there.
05:19I'm sorry.
05:23I'm sorry.
05:24I got...
05:25I let my emotions carry away.
05:27I'm sorry.
05:29Well, Ethan Page right now looking to hoist Mr. Iguana back into the ring and doing a very
05:34hard way.
05:35But Iguana...
05:36That's illegal!
05:37It's not illegal!
05:37That's illegal!
05:38Oh!
05:40The referee's letting it go.
05:41Oh!
05:41Oh!
05:41Oh!
05:41Oh!
05:42Oh!
05:42Oh!
05:42Oh!
05:42Oh!
05:43Oh!
05:43Oh!
05:43Oh!
05:44Oh!
05:44Oh!
05:44Oh!
05:45Oh!
05:45Oh!
05:45Oh!
05:46He just got walloped by a Beanie Baby, and he just got high cross-bodied by an Iguana!
05:52Not right.
05:52This is not right.
05:53Cover, cover, cover!
05:54Title's on the line!
05:55Yeah, referee.
05:56Referee, you need to do your job, man!
05:58He is doing his job.
05:59He was doing it right there.
06:00He was letting him...
06:01And explain that it's not a disqualification.
06:04It's referee's discretion as this matchup continues.
06:07Mr. Iguana heavy.
06:08Oh!
06:08Oh!
06:09Oh!
06:10Oh!
06:10Okay.
06:11All right.
06:11That was fancy.
06:13That was neat.
06:13You know, another distinct difference in NXT is what's being showcased here tonight.
06:18We can be serious.
06:19Three different companies represented.
06:21WWE, obviously, NXT, AAA right now with Mr. Iguana, but also TNA later tonight with Leon Slater
06:27as Paige with a right hand.
06:29See that?
06:29That big right hand from...
06:31Oh, yeah!
06:32The Can-Man!
06:34That's what they call this dude right here.
06:36The Can-Man!
06:39The Can-Man!
06:40The Can-Man!
06:41Because anybody can get it.
06:43All right.
06:44AAA, SmackDown, Raw, Indies, ABC, CBS, Esteka, Telemundo.
06:53Anybody can get it.
06:54Well, we are live right now on Peacock as Ethan Page has turned this matchup right around.
07:00Big back out.
07:01And Page is in control.
07:03It was in Halloween Havoc.
07:03He defeated another AAA standout.
07:06And I suppose that's further proof of his greatness, huh, Booker?
07:10Of course he's great.
07:11Along with Justin Green, they're both great.
07:14Double champ.
07:15How many times have you seen somebody like Ethan?
07:17Oh, there you go!
07:18There you go!
07:19Asola Rooka was just a double champ.
07:21Mrs. Murray, and everybody here is going to watch me beat his ass!
07:26That's right.
07:27That's right.
07:28Now Ethan Page is kicked in gear right now.
07:30He's in serious mode.
07:32He's not going to play around with it, Iggy.
07:36I'm spooning that short for Oguana.
07:38Yes, it is.
07:38And you need to say Mr. Oguana because that's his name.
07:41Not just Oguana.
07:42Show some respect.
07:43Has Mr. Oguana coming right back in.
07:45And right now he's showing no respect to the man who is the champion at this juncture.
07:49Flying through the air!
07:53Leg in my backyard off the fence on a hot summer's day.
07:57Mr. Oguana is flying around.
07:59And he's...
08:00Oh, look!
08:02And of course, you're going to be upset about this.
08:04Why do you find no joy?
08:06This is not right.
08:08That's a foreign option.
08:10That's his hand.
08:10That's a foreign option.
08:11Brushing the fingers in the phalanges of Ethan Page.
08:14What?
08:14The phalanges.
08:15It's fingers.
08:16And that's walking the rope.
08:17That's talking the talk.
08:19And that's Mr. Oguana right now.
08:21Getting...
08:21Oh, yes!
08:23Getting power slammed by Ethan Page.
08:25No time, no time, and just business.
08:28Oh, yes!
08:28Oh, and Page...
08:29Ethan Page seems...
08:30He's fed up.
08:31Love it, man!
08:32Done playing around.
08:33Done being...
08:34Ha-ha!
08:34And you know, Ethan!
08:35He's angry.
08:36He's P.O.'d.
08:37He's mad.
08:38Represent North America!
08:41And I hate to admit it, but Page is the best pound-for-pound wrestler in the world.
08:46What?
08:47What?
08:48What?
08:48What do you mean, what?
08:50I just said, he's the best pound-for-pound wrestler in the world.
08:52And just...
08:53Just how good can he be, Booker?
08:55You know, like I said, if Ethan Page in the right circumstance, this guy can win every
09:00championship in this cup.
09:01Oh, come on!
09:03Do it!
09:04No!
09:07Do it away, Ethan!
09:08Do not!
09:09Burn it!
09:10What are you talking about?
09:13Yeah!
09:15Disrespectful!
09:15No time for that.
09:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:21Well, he was angry.
09:22Look who's now angry.
09:23And you don't want to feel...
09:24He can't fight without the Iguana.
09:26Yes, he can!
09:27And yes, he will!
09:29Here he comes!
09:30Let's see exactly what he got in here with a champion!
09:34A champion of all champions!
09:35Mr. Iguana looking to become the 23rd North American champion in history!
09:40Hits that DDT!
09:41Whoa!
09:42That was...
09:42That was crafty.
09:43He enjoys bringing joy to others.
09:45His opponent enjoys stealing the joy.
09:48Enjoys stealing the smiles.
09:50That's not what Mr. Iguana's about, but he's not going to be smiling after that.
09:53Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
09:55Ethan Page, all the way to the top, could be looking for a super egos.
10:00Oh, yeah, baby.
10:02Here we go!
10:03We're up in the high-risk district right now, and Ethan Page!
10:07Oh, yes, man!
10:09Iguana trying his best to fight.
10:10Iguana doing his best to try to steal away.
10:12He can't fight it!
10:14Iguana slithered away!
10:14Oh, no!
10:15Yes!
10:16What the heck?
10:16He slithered right into American Rana!
10:19Oh, Page, I got to give Page benefit out and roll to the outside.
10:23Living to fight for a few more minutes as champion.
10:26What's on Iguana's mind?
10:27Iggy's thinking something.
10:28Iggy's on the move.
10:29Here we go!
10:33Wow!
10:35And Mr. Iguana has San Antonio fired up.
10:40Looking to fly once more.
10:42Iguana's going up top.
10:43Here we go!
10:44I can't believe you find no choice.
10:47What is that green soap?
10:48Why is all this green soap coming?
10:49It's paint!
10:50Cover!
10:51No!
10:53Half-second book.
10:55In shock.
10:56A half-second away.
10:58Look at this.
10:59Listen to the NXT universe.
11:01Mr. Iguana put together.
11:03A lot of offense in that moment and was close to capturing the gold.
11:09His most recent title, of course, was the AAA mixed tag titles that he co-held for 329 days.
11:16Big shot right there, Landon.
11:17Here we go, baby.
11:19Let's go to school.
11:20Let's go home, man.
11:21There's that twisted grin.
11:23Yes!
11:23And just like that, fun and games are over.
11:27Here's over.
11:29And still!
11:32The NXT North American Champion, All-Ego, Ethan Payne!
11:41He recently surpassed Johnny Gargano for fifth longest to hold the gold, as that number will
11:48continue to climb, and he currently adds to the third most successful championship defenses
11:55in this calendar year.
11:57You don't gotta like him.
11:59It's hard to respect him, but you can't deny him, that being Ethan Page, as Mr. Iguana
12:06came very close to taking the NXT North American title to AAA.
12:13In the end, it was Ethan Page who had all the fun and games come to a screeching halt
12:20with that twisted grin.
12:24And on this night, sold out in San Antonio, at deadline, Page continues to prove he is the
12:35greatest North American.
12:37He is.
