00:00:00Then.

00:00:08Now.

00:00:17Forever.

00:00:25Together.

00:00:30We are live in the shadows of the Alamo.

00:00:34San Antonio, one of the most visited cities in Texas.

00:00:38And for the 11th time, the site of a WWE premium live event,

00:00:42including four Royal Rumbles.

00:00:45But here this evening, NXT returns to the Lone Star State

00:00:50inside the state-of-the-art Boeing Center at Techport.

00:00:54And as we know, we're kicking off the night for the first time

00:01:00on a premium live event for NXT,

00:01:02with the NXT Championship being defended.

00:01:05Champion on the left, challenger on the right.

00:01:08And tonight, it's about strategy, determination, will, and competition

00:01:16with two innovative Iron Survivor Challenge matches.

00:01:20Who will beat the clock?

00:01:22Who will beat the opposition?

00:01:24Who will beat their deadline?

00:01:32Time.

00:01:35The ultimate equalizer.

00:01:37The most precious commodity covered by all.

00:01:41But also, the most vile adversary faced by all.

00:01:46Bringing new beginnings.

00:01:49Saints did it!

00:01:51The new NXT champion!

00:01:55The revolution takes its next step.

00:01:58Crashly shocks the universe!

00:02:03But also, unavoidable endings.

00:02:07The ruler is back.

00:02:12The sun is setting.

00:02:14Setting.

00:02:15Setting.

00:02:16On the absolute error.

00:02:17Tana Paxley's reign has abruptly ended.

00:02:22I took everything from her.

00:02:25Because that is what she owed me.

00:02:29We cannot fight time, but we can make the most of what it gives us.

00:02:35The deadline.

00:02:36I'm gonna make you feel all of my pain.

00:02:39All of the work and the years that I have grinded away from.

00:02:43If I can't beat all the family.

00:02:45I am the one who will destroy you!

00:02:48That will be all for naught.

00:02:51In the hands of some, time can be the ultimate provider.

00:02:56Iron Survivor Challenge.

00:02:59For some, 25 minutes will feel like an eternity.

00:03:08It's the ultimate battle of endurance.

00:03:11It's gonna be a long night.

00:03:13For others, it will seem like the blink of an eye.

00:03:17And he's gonna run out of time!

00:03:20Ten superstars will need more than just time on their side to survive in San Antonio.

00:03:27Both matches give five competitors a chance at greatness.

00:03:30But only one will emerge, the Iron Survivor.

00:03:33Tonight, two Iron Survivors will be crowned.

00:03:48And become number one contenders.

00:03:55The time has come.

00:03:59Welcome to NXT Deadline.

00:04:11And now, WWE presents Deadline.

00:04:14Sol Ruka right from SmackDown earlier today.

00:04:21She looks to prove to herself she has what it takes to outpace the field tonight.

00:04:26Even though there's a lot weighing on her mind.

00:04:29She'll also need to be very mindful of the feet and fist of fury from Lola Vice.

00:04:35Who's looking to become the women's Iron Survivor.

00:04:39But both those women are gonna need to keep an eye on that woman.

00:04:43Kalani Jordan.

00:04:44That's just three of the five who will compete in tonight's Women's Iron Survivor Challenge.

00:04:51On the men's side of things, there is the young OG Javon Evans.

00:04:54He's looking to close out the year on a high note.

00:04:57And some could say the same for his opponent tonight and his good friend.

00:05:01There is the TNA X Division champion Leon Slater who defended that title just 24 hours ago.

00:05:07Can he make history here tonight in San Antonio?

00:05:11Or will we be saying his name as this year's Iron Survivor winner?

00:05:17Joe Hedry looking to make more believers tonight right here at Deadline.

00:05:23It's the final premium live event of the year.

00:05:25And we're kicking off tonight for the first time ever on an NXT show.

00:05:31on an NXT premium live event with the NXT championship being defended on a night.

00:05:37Strategy, tactics, resilience.

00:05:39And we're kicking off tonight for the first time ever on an NXT premium live event with the NXT championship being defended on a night.

00:05:45Strategy, tactics, resilience will lead Iron Survivors to victory.

00:05:51We welcome you to Deadline.

00:05:55And we're kicking off tonight for the first time ever on an NXT premium live event with the NXT championship being defended on a night.

00:05:59Strategy, strategy, tactics, resilience will lead Iron Survivors to victory.

00:06:03We welcome you to Deadline.

00:06:05We're whatever you want to see from Danio Dewey and Rooks.

00:06:11Thank you so much.

00:06:13Thank you very much.

00:06:14Thank you so much.

00:06:15Come here for our usta day to the next .

00:06:48This man looking to reclaim his gold.

00:06:52Oh yeah, man.

00:06:54He's fully rested, dawg.

00:06:57100% ready for this moment.

00:07:00And you know what I say.

00:07:01You know what I say.

00:07:02No bread.

00:07:04No water.

00:07:05Just meat tonight, dawg.

00:07:09And look, have you ever been around someone who has asserted dominance?

00:07:15Dominance since day one.

00:07:17Like this man, Obi-Wan.

00:07:192023 breakout tournament winner.

00:07:24To go on to become the North American champion.

00:07:26To go on to become the NXT champion.

00:07:29The longest reigning NXT champion at 273 days.

00:07:34Oh, yes, man.

00:07:35NXT North American champion, longest reigning.

00:07:38That is.

00:07:39That is.

00:07:39I just wanted to make sure.

00:07:40Because I don't want social media to yell at you.

00:07:42Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:07:51This is the revolution.

00:07:53The electricity in here is unreal.

00:08:19What a way to kick off the night.

00:08:21And as we talk about the dominance of the challenge, let's talk about the champion book.

00:08:25Do you think the champion's ambition, the ambition he has had, the ambition he has talked

00:08:30about since his arrival, threatens Obofemi's legacy.

00:08:35Because there's the man that beat Obofemi.

00:08:38That's a huge word right there.

00:08:39But let me tell you something.

00:08:40This man right here, Ricky Saints.

00:08:41He came in with one intention on his mind.

00:08:44And that was, takes the championship, catching gold, big gold, North American champion, and

00:08:50now NXT champion, which it is.

00:08:53Can he beat the man twice?

00:08:56I don't know, dog.

00:08:58Saints beat Semi for the championship at no mercy.

00:09:03Oh, look at the eyes.

00:09:04The challenger does not look very good.

00:09:05Look at the eyes.

00:09:06The eyes never lie, G-Done.

00:09:08Yeah, but listen to the NXT universe for our champion.

00:09:12As we get set to kick things off tonight, we go up to our ring announcer for the evening,

00:09:17Mike Rome.

00:09:20The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT championship.

00:09:31Introducing the challenger, from Lagos, Nigeria, wing in, at 310 pounds, Obofemi.

00:09:48And his opponents, from New Orleans, Louisiana, wing in, at 210 pounds, he is the NXT champion,

00:10:09Ricky Saints.

00:10:11You know, I'm going to ask you that about ambition, Booker, because it was Saints who's

00:10:20revolution overthrew the ruler at no mercy.

00:10:25Both these men have worn the same gold.

00:10:27You ran through the list of it.

00:10:28Both, though, pulled no punches in New York City.

00:10:31Only one will head into the new year as champion.

00:10:34It's only different now, though, man.

00:10:35I'm going to tell you, catching that champion at the right time, you're always on call like

00:10:40you're a doctor with a stethoscope when you're the champ.

00:10:43And at that time, Obofemi had been run hard, man.

00:10:47Let's see what happens tonight.

00:10:50Look at the atmosphere that this is.

00:10:51That's not going to work.

00:10:53Last NXT premium live event in San Antonio was a glorious night.

00:10:57Bobby Roode won this very championship, the NXT title, by defeating Shinsuke Nakamura.

00:11:04And he didn't like the early strategy.

00:11:06Look, Obofemi's giving him the leg.

00:11:08Obofemi's saying he's trying to get it.

00:11:09He's not going to shoot a single on Obofemi right out the gate.

00:11:13I mean, it's not going to happen.

00:11:15A little bit of a cat and mouse game between the champion and the challenger.

00:11:20First time the NXT title has opened an NXT premium live event, as we mentioned.

00:11:24And what a way to kick off the final premium live event of the year as Saints getting the

00:11:28early control.

00:11:28I don't like this strategy by Saints right now trying to keep Obo close to the body.

00:11:32This guy's too big.

00:11:34He's too strong for this right now.

00:11:35And like I say, this is a bad idea.

00:11:37Okay, so let's break it down then.

00:11:38This is going to be a two-parter here, Book.

00:11:39You ready?

00:11:40How does Saints retain?

00:11:42And how does Obo reclaim?

00:11:43I mean, Saints is going to have to go out there real determination, heart, you know,

00:11:47intestinal 40.

00:11:48All of that is going to have to come into play.

00:11:50But Obofemi, he just has to do what Obofemi does.

00:11:53And let's go out there and rule in the middle of that square circle, that 20 by 20 man.

00:11:58We're talking about the title.

00:11:59How about this?

00:11:59We found out last night on SmackDown that the winner of this matchup will face the undisputed

00:12:04WWE champion.

00:12:05Cody Rhodes, Saturday night's main event next Saturday.

00:12:09I mean, that's huge for this brand and its representation as we get a backbreaker from

00:12:13the challenger.

00:12:14You got to give it up for Cody Rhodes going out there and thinking about the young guys

00:12:18just like John Cena's doing it this time.

00:12:20John Cena's handprint is on this show here tonight.

00:12:23Give it up for John Cena.

00:12:24It certainly is.

00:12:25And it's going to be a huge opportunity.

00:12:26Can you imagine if whoever wins this matchup heads to the nation's capital and then I'm

00:12:32not even saying defeats Cody Rhodes, but is able to hang with Cody Rhodes.

00:12:34It's all about opportunity.

00:12:36Getting that opportunity from a veteran, a guy that's been in the game like Cody Rhodes

00:12:40had been.

00:12:41He's done it all, man.

00:12:42He's the champ.

00:12:43He's the champ.

00:12:44Let's go champ.

00:12:45And now we're seeing that power of Obofemi coming into display.

00:12:48Huge night still.

00:12:49Oh, yes.

00:12:50And going right back to the body.

00:12:51See that?

00:12:52Goes Obofemi.

00:12:53Nice uppercut right there.

00:12:54Obofemi's taking his time in the line, too.

00:12:57He's not rushing anything right now.

00:12:59You can see he just...

00:13:00Wait a minute.

00:13:01He'll pose them.

00:13:02Oh, a little pectorial action.

00:13:06Well, he's not going to get a championship for flexing his pecs book.

00:13:10He's got to get the job done.

00:13:11He has to defeat Ricky Saints for the count of three or make a tap as we get a little snake

00:13:15eyes.

00:13:16Show business.

00:13:17The people want to see it.

00:13:18The people want to see Obofemi go out there and dance.

00:13:20Obofemi, Obofemi, Obofemi.

00:13:23Listen to the people.

00:13:24It's almost as if you're piped into the NXT universe here tonight.

00:13:26And they heard you almost right on cue as Saints really trying to fight at this juncture

00:13:31to get out of the gates of this matchup.

00:13:33Listen to the people.

00:13:34The people have, they're behind Ricky.

00:13:36They like Ricky.

00:13:37Obofemi.

00:13:38Oh, nice counter by Ricky Saints.

00:13:39Saints now.

00:13:40Nice.

00:13:41And now how about this strategy?

00:13:42He went to the legs to begin, but now he's going to the upper body.

00:13:45He's trying to take away one of the arms, some of the strength of the much more powerful

00:13:49challenge.

00:13:50He's trying to go toe-to-toe with Obofemi.

00:13:51And like I say, for me, I'd love to see Ricky Saints still in his body.

00:13:55Hey, how about that dance?

00:13:57He's showboating.

00:13:58He's showboating.

00:13:59That's what you just said it's all about.

00:14:00People wanted to see Obo dance.

00:14:01They're looking at Ricky dance and pose.

00:14:04Did I say it was a bad thing?

00:14:06Did I say it was a bad thing?

00:14:07Sometimes I don't know which way you're going to go.

00:14:08It's a crap shoot every single Tuesday.

00:14:10Or in this case, it's Saturday in San Antonio.

00:14:12It was a nice counter from Obofemi.

00:14:13Sliding right through underneath goes Ricky Saints.

00:14:15Saints back up.

00:14:16Looking for the drop to hold counter.

00:14:17Too much power from Obo.

00:14:18And now just chopping down the challenger.

00:14:20Stiff kick to the spine.

00:14:21Taking out the arm.

00:14:23And Saints is beating down Obofemi.

00:14:25You know what I always say, Vic, right?

00:14:27Preparation.

00:14:28Preparation is the only look you're going to have.

00:14:29And you can tell that Ricky Saints has prepared for everything he could possibly prepare for

00:14:35in this match for Obofemi.

00:14:37And let's go back.

00:14:37Saints made it clear he has believed in himself since his arrival.

00:14:41There is no self-doubt.

00:14:43Oh, wow.

00:14:43There may be something now.

00:14:45To add to that, Ricky Saints is the only person

00:14:47that has believed in him.

00:14:49No one else.

00:14:50I don't think he believed in him.

00:14:51I'm talking about his ones reaching that pinnacle.

00:14:53Why wouldn't I believe in him?

00:14:54I've seen the potential.

00:14:55I'm a big fan of Ricky Saints.

00:14:56When Ricky Saints came...

00:14:57It's such a job.

00:14:58It's such a job, Vic.

00:14:58It's not my job.

00:14:59It's such a job to care about him.

00:15:00It's all the action.

00:15:02We're going to remember this a little bit later on tonight.

00:15:04Drop kick, cover, hook of the leg to retain.

00:15:06And a kick out.

00:15:07Again, the winner of this matchup doesn't only win the NXT championship.

00:15:10In Ricky's case, retaining the championship would also be a date with Cody Rhodes in one week.

00:15:16It's not a date, it's an opportunity of a lifetime is what it is, Vic.

00:15:20And it's all about the NXT championship.

00:15:22When Saints first made his interest known in that very title,

00:15:25he did not come quietly, if you remember, Booker.

00:15:27He confronted Obafemi.

00:15:29How many men can say that?

00:15:31Even you have to respect the fact that Ricky Saints walked right up to Obafemi.

00:15:34I'm coming for that title.

00:15:36I get a lot of respect.

00:15:38I mean, for going up there and doing that.

00:15:39But let me tell you something, it wasn't a wise choice to go out there and rile this

00:15:44man up, this monster, this beast.

00:15:46Oh no, here we go.

00:15:48We're going for the ride, son.

00:15:49Well, when he originally did it, he was able to defeat Oba to win the title.

00:15:53Right now, though, different story.

00:15:55Hosted high above.

00:15:57The elbow is locked in a long drop for Saints.

00:16:02And just like that, Oba turns this matchup around.

00:16:09You know, also, I talk about Saints not only, he didn't just win the title.

00:16:12He stripped Obafemi of his power.

00:16:15How big of a blow is that to someone like Oba?

00:16:17Like I say now, look, timing is everything.

00:16:20Ricky Saints just happened to catch Oba at the right time.

00:16:23I'm not saying that he can't go out there and do it again, but to do it twice.

00:16:26Look here.

00:16:27Look here.

00:16:27I take my hat off.

00:16:29You know what?

00:16:29I get it.

00:16:30I get it.

00:16:30I get my crown if he can do it twice.

00:16:32But I don't think he can.

00:16:33Well, I want to ask you this thing.

00:16:36Is that why Oba disappeared after No Mercy?

00:16:38Is that why Oba went away?

00:16:40You told me earlier this year you don't run.

00:16:42You questioned Javon Evans for running away, not showing up.

00:16:45What about Obafemi?

00:16:46What did they say when they landed on the move?

00:16:47Huh?

00:16:47What did they say?

00:16:48Wasn't alive.

00:16:50So you tell me what they said.

00:16:51One step is a giant leap or something like that.

00:16:53Sometimes you got to take a leap.

00:16:54You don't even know?

00:16:55Sometimes you got to take a step back.

00:16:57Oh!

00:16:57Forget the leap.

00:16:58Just like that right there.

00:17:00That's what I'm talking about.

00:17:01Forget the leap.

00:17:02How about the toss?

00:17:03Look, Obafemi, he just press-played Ricky Saints.

00:17:05Into the cover.

00:17:06Into the cover for the title.

00:17:08And a kick-out.

00:17:08And he did it when he tells me that Obafemi has been in the gym.

00:17:12He's been trained.

00:17:13He's ready for this moment.

00:17:15And the thing is, it's not just about the title.

00:17:17It's about the reckoning, son.

00:17:20Well, look for Obafemi.

00:17:22He went back to his Alabama track and field days moments ago

00:17:25and just tossed Ricky Saints.

00:17:27You saw it?

00:17:28You saw it?

00:17:29Oh, muscle.

00:17:30This guy right here.

00:17:31Look here.

00:17:32Ricky Saints is in a whole lot of trouble here tonight.

00:17:35Going right to the body is Oba.

00:17:37And Oba now just beating down the champion.

00:17:39Oh, yes.

00:17:40Oh, yes.

00:17:42That's that right here.

00:17:43That's that left here.

00:17:44That's that right here.

00:17:46Boom shakalaka.

00:17:47This is an NBA jam, Booker.

00:17:49This is the NXT championship match.

00:17:51As Obafemi, though, is applying the pressure.

00:17:53And I will say this, and I will agree with you.

00:17:56Obafemi is a man that is powered by discipline.

00:18:00I think so.

00:18:01Obafemi, like I say, since day one, 2023, breakout tournament.

00:18:05What a good push-up here, right there, find out painful.

00:18:08This guy's thinking about one thing, and that's the next level.

00:18:11I'm talking about main roster.

00:18:12I'm talking about legacy.

00:18:13I'm talking about history.

00:18:14I'm talking about Hall of Fame.

00:18:15That's what this man is thinking about.

00:18:17Well, Obafemi called Saints A, and this is a quote.

00:18:20This isn't something I said, Book.

00:18:21This is something Obafemi said about the champion as he's wearing down Saints.

00:18:25He's alive by night.

00:18:26He's here today.

00:18:26He's going to ball.

00:18:27Are you going to let me get the quote?

00:18:28I was just wondering.

00:18:29I was just wondering what that is.

00:18:30He called Saints A little man and vowed to take it all away here tonight.

00:18:36I wouldn't necessarily say he's a little man.

00:18:39He's not as big as Obafemi, but this guy's got a lot of heart.

00:18:42You've got to give up.

00:18:43This kid from New Orleans.

00:18:44Trust me.

00:18:45It's a hard, hard road to hold in New Orleans.

00:18:49Trust me on that.

00:18:49And as we're talking about this matchup, and we talk about Cody Rhodes who awaits the winner

00:18:54next Saturday as we get it covered by the challenger to have the gold for the second time

00:18:58as the NXT Universe now is letting their voice heard into another cover and a kickout.

00:19:03Another kick out of the champion.

00:19:08Oh, man.

00:19:09And Obanow will be set.

00:19:11Oh, yes.

00:19:13But the winner will immediately have to turn their attention to our main event.

00:19:16Who will be the men's Iron Survivor Challenge winner?

00:19:19Who will get that NXT title match in New Year's Evil?

00:19:21But look at Ricky Saints standing in the face of Obafemi, not backing down, saying,

00:19:27bring me the fight.

00:19:28No, Ricky Saints right now, he's fighting down on his mouthpiece.

00:19:31He's going to go in here, and he comes to fight tonight.

00:19:33I love it, man.

00:19:35He certainly is.

00:19:35And Saints now charging in.

00:19:37Target acquired.

00:19:43Saints earlier tried to walk the tightrope.

00:19:47Tried to bless Obafemi.

00:19:49Will the second time be the charm?

00:19:55Whoa!

00:19:56In a unique way, Hurricanrana.

00:19:58Swear!

00:20:00Obafemi's rocked.

00:20:01Got all of it.

00:20:01Obafemi's dead.

00:20:02Got all of it.

00:20:03And almost did it for the second time, Book.

00:20:08Wait a minute.

00:20:09Feel the impact.

00:20:11First for Hurricanrana, and then Ricky Saints switching gears.

00:20:15Bam!

00:20:19For a near far.

00:20:23You go back to Obafemi taking that time off.

00:20:25They also say time off could be your worst enemy.

00:20:29You never want to take yourself out of the game because there's no replication for being

00:20:33in the middle of that square circle.

00:20:35There's no way you can train cardio if you're not inside that square circle.

00:20:38And that might be what gets Ricky Saints over the finish line here tonight.

00:20:42Oh, Obafemi may be looking for him out.

00:20:44Oh, baby.

00:20:45Oh, baby.

00:20:46Oh, baby.

00:20:47Able to block for a moment.

00:20:48Up goes.

00:20:49Saints able to counter land on his feet.

00:20:50Big forearm under the jaw by the challenger.

00:20:52Champion right now.

00:20:54Wheeling right around.

00:20:55Answering back with a clothesline.

00:20:56Obafemi bouncing back.

00:20:57He got caught with a stunner.

00:21:00And can we have a stunning conclusion?

00:21:02Oh, baby.

00:21:03Oh, boy.

00:21:04That was so close.

00:21:06You can turn Obafemi right now.

00:21:08That time off is messing with him a little bit.

00:21:12Caught out of nowhere.

00:21:13Hit that stunner.

00:21:15Near fall.

00:21:16And Ricky right now is really pulling on all the stops.

00:21:18And now looking for a submission.

00:21:19Looking for a guillotine.

00:21:20How about this strategy, Booker?

00:21:22Late in the game.

00:21:22I like it right now.

00:21:23Trying to suck all the oxygen out of Obafemi.

00:21:26All of that muscle.

00:21:28The lactic acid has to be building up late here in this matchup.

00:21:34You can feel the ground swell here in San Antonio.

00:21:39Saints trying to hold on.

00:21:41Trying to get Oba back down.

00:21:42But Oba has solved half of the equation.

00:21:44Getting back to a vertical base.

00:21:46Took a lot of pressure off himself right now.

00:21:48If he could just get to the rope, break this hole, everything will be all right right now.

00:21:52Oba's fading.

00:21:53Oh, wait a minute.

00:21:53The ruler is fading.

00:21:55You gotta be kidding me.

00:21:56Saints is even doing a better job of trying to lock his legs around with a body scissors.

00:22:01Obafemi.

00:22:02We have never seen Femi in a position like this.

00:22:05You might get that lock because Oba's torso is quite large, man.

00:22:10Might be emptying the tank right now is Obafemi.

00:22:13The challenger rising back up.

00:22:16Can he create some separation between...

00:22:19Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

00:22:21Wow.

00:22:22That's certainly one way to do it.

00:22:24But the damage is done.

00:22:25Look at Obafemi.

00:22:27Flat on his back.

00:22:28We haven't seen that quite often since his arrival back in the spring of 2023.

00:22:33Like I said, time off the legs, man.

00:22:35The legs are the first to go.

00:22:36But right now, Oba trying to bounce something.

00:22:38But you can see it right now.

00:22:40He's laboring.

00:22:41Obafemi's laboring right now, man.

00:22:43He certainly is.

00:22:43He might have telegraphed that just a little bit because Ricky Saints ain't new to the game.

00:22:48Saints right now.

00:22:49Oh, yeah.

00:22:50Right into the challenger.

00:22:53Challenger drop.

00:22:54Challenger rock.

00:22:55Challenger book.

00:22:56The challenger may be out.

00:22:59Doesn't matter.

00:22:59Win by count on it.

00:23:00It doesn't matter.

00:23:01It doesn't matter for Ricky.

00:23:02He's the champion.

00:23:05Listen to the ref.

00:23:06You don't have to win it, Vic.

00:23:08You just don't have to lose it.

00:23:09I'm trying to listen to the count.

00:23:11Referee's at seven.

00:23:12Oba just starting to move.

00:23:14Referee's at eight.

00:23:15Oba's only got two seconds at nine.

00:23:17Can he beat the count?

00:23:18Oh, Bob.

00:23:19Just able to get there and then gets dropped.

00:23:22Saints into the cover to retain his title tonight.

00:23:25What a game plan.

00:23:26Not quite.

00:23:27What a game plan by Ricky Saints.

00:23:29I must give him that.

00:23:30You know, but you can talk about the game plan.

00:23:32Look at the face of the champion.

00:23:33You got to start wondering.

00:23:34Doubt settling in.

00:23:35It's now at frustration.

00:23:37What does Ricky Saints have to do?

00:23:39Bam.

00:23:40A fan of sorts.

00:23:42Still not enough to put the ruler down.

00:23:45Time off could be your worst enemy.

00:23:46The best thing Ricky Saints going for him, he's been in the action.

00:23:50He's had no days off since winning that championship.

00:23:53That's the best thing he's got going for him right here at this moment.

00:23:56I don't know if this starts breaking down into a slugfest.

00:23:58If I would favor the champion, I'd probably favor the challenger.

00:24:03But Ricky Saints is unlike any champion we've had in recent memory.

00:24:06He's got a heart as big as the state of Texas.

00:24:09But he just got caught on the lariat.

00:24:11Back up, back down.

00:24:13Obafemi now, the challenger, starting to feel it.

00:24:15Oh, my.

00:24:16That was a skillet across the chest.

00:24:18And a clubbing blow across the back.

00:24:22And Obafemi now.

00:24:23Oba's unloaded.

00:24:24Oh, no.

00:24:25Oh, wow.

00:24:27Locomotive driving through the body of Saints.

00:24:30You talk about spring break-ins debut less than three years ago for Obafemi.

00:24:39You're talking about a standard liver main event or a North American champion,

00:24:42an iron survivor just last year.

00:24:44But he's never defeated Ricky Saints,

00:24:46who might have just outsmarted him again in another near fall.

00:24:49What a counter that was.

00:24:51Ricky Saints right now is pulling out all the stops.

00:24:53I mean, Obafemi just unloaded a fuselage.

00:24:56And right now, Ricky Saints is still.

00:24:58What?

00:24:58Oh, Lord.

00:25:00What?

00:25:01Ah!

00:25:02That's it.

00:25:03Oh, we got a new tap.

00:25:05Oh, we got a new tap.

00:25:06And not quite yet.

00:25:08That right shoulder just off the mat.

00:25:11But you talk about unbridled power.

00:25:14Yoking up a man from the ground like Obafemi just did.

00:25:19Unreal.

00:25:22And you start to wonder what's going through the mind of these two men.

00:25:25Because Oba knows just how dominant he was as champion.

00:25:28And as you mentioned, over 260 days.

00:25:31Ricky Saints, though, is the one who dethroned the ruler.

00:25:34And Ricky Saints, the one who just got out of the way.

00:25:38Into the post goes Oba.

00:25:40Oba again.

00:25:41Rocked.

00:25:42And Saints, like a rubber band snapping back in this match.

00:25:47Like I said, I'm looking at Obafemi's.

00:25:49Oh, wait a minute.

00:25:50Just landed a big shot right there.

00:25:52Look at that Obafemi's posture, man.

00:25:54And it doesn't look great to me right now, Vic.

00:25:58Obafemi, though, rocked.

00:25:59And Obafemi.

00:25:59No!

00:26:03Well, if he didn't like his posture before, Booker, what are you going to think about it now?

00:26:06Talking about it, man.

00:26:07Ricky Saints has a game plan.

00:26:09He's executing that game plan.

00:26:12And I think I got to agree with you.

00:26:14A DDT with a guardrail assist under the steel steps.

00:26:20And the referee doing his job.

00:26:23Coming out to check on the challenger.

00:26:24Remember, it wasn't just one DDT.

00:26:27It was four DDTs that took Oba out at no mercy.

00:26:31Saints struggling to get Oba in the middle of that ring.

00:26:34But Saints got him back because Saints doesn't want to count out.

00:26:36Ricky Saints wants to win this match in the ring.

00:26:40Oh, yeah.

00:26:41Exclamation point.

00:26:42You got to be kidding.

00:26:43To retain an episode.

00:26:50What?

00:26:51I was getting ready to talk about an absolute statement.

00:26:55Talking about Ricky Saints is questioning himself right now.

00:27:01Can he get the job done, Vic?

00:27:03NXT Universe can't believe.

00:27:04NXT Universe right now standing for this match.

00:27:08Our first night.

00:27:08And look at the power.

00:27:09You got it if you can't be.

00:27:10Looking for Rochambeau.

00:27:12Oba was able to counter.

00:27:13Charging back in.

00:27:14Ball from Grace.

00:27:16And just like that, Oba champion.

00:27:19Whoa.

00:27:21Whoa.

00:27:23Whoa.

00:27:29You got to get it.

00:27:30What is it going to take?

00:27:37And this is how Book were kicking off deadline.

00:27:42I thought that was a three-count, Vic.

00:27:44Don't go.

00:27:45Oh, let me, though, back up.

00:27:47Saints up as well.

00:27:48Challenger, champion, staring a hole in one another.

00:27:51A second time.

00:27:53Fall from Grace.

00:27:55Sit down style.

00:27:56One, two, three.

00:27:58Femi reclaims the title.

00:28:03Here is your winner.

00:28:05And the new NXT champion.

00:28:13Oba Femi.

00:28:16Oba Femi.

00:28:19Throne reclaimed.

00:28:25And Oba Femi will now face WWE champion Cody Rhodes in the spirit of opportunity next Saturday.

00:28:32At Saturday night's main event.

00:28:34But look at Ricky Saints.

00:28:36This was the second DDT.

00:28:38That one, as I said, with an exclamation point.

00:28:41Couldn't keep the ruler down late in the game here in this opening matchup.

00:28:46Ricky Saints did his best.

00:28:48This right here, everyone thought was the end.

00:28:51But Saints showed the heart of a champion kicking out of that fall from grace.

00:28:55But then the eyes locked.

00:28:56The eyes of the ruler.

00:28:58The eyes of the revolution.

00:28:59In that moment, right here.

00:29:02Bam!

00:29:03It would be the ruler becoming the NXT champion for the second time.

00:29:09Standing ovation in San Antonio.

00:29:18As the revolution has ended.

00:29:22And Oba is the ruler.

00:29:24Once more.

00:29:26Of NXT.

00:29:28NXT.

00:29:58Cody Rhodes, be ready.

00:30:17Next Saturday, you face the NXT champion, Oba Femi.

00:30:28Win the Iron Survivor Challenge.

00:30:47Earn a championship opportunity.

00:30:49Act new.

00:30:50Here.

00:30:58Ladies, thank you so much for joining me today.

00:31:04Thank you for having us.

00:31:05Now, Kendall Gray, you have had quite the year.

00:31:09You've made waves through Evolve as the Evolve Women's Champion.

00:31:13You're part of Ren QCC.

00:31:14And now, the greatest of all time, John Cena has handpicked you to be part of the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline.

00:31:23So, how are you feeling?

00:31:25You know, Kelly, I'm speechless.

00:31:26I'm excited.

00:31:28It doesn't even feel real.

00:31:30You know, I can't even put it into words how I feel.

00:31:32But it's a full circle moment because growing up, I used to watch John Cena.

00:31:36You know, I have a picture when I was like eight years old at a SmackDown event that my dad took me to.

00:31:41Like a You Can't See Me chain.

00:31:42The chain was huge.

00:31:43It was huge.

00:31:45But it's like a full circle moment.

00:31:46And now he's picking me to be in the Iron Survivor.

00:31:49You know, growing up, I always try to be better than my brother in all sports.

00:31:54And you could say that competitive might be my middle name.

00:31:58Because of that, I did everything.

00:31:59Soccer, gymnastics, t-ball, MMA, wrestling.

00:32:03The list goes on and on and on.

00:32:05And all I ever told myself was the phrase that the GOAT inspired in me.

00:32:10Never give up.

00:32:11Never back down.

00:32:12And to know that John Cena is watching my work, it's crazy.

00:32:16But it's also validating.

00:32:17And now I have to prove that I belong in the Iron Survivor.

00:32:21Now, the Iron Survivor Challenge is unlike any other match in WWE.

00:32:26And you're going to be in there with some of the most athletic and experienced women in NXT.

00:32:33So, what's your game plan?

00:32:34I mean, Kendall is a badass, Kelly.

00:32:36She doesn't need a game plan.

00:32:38She's just going to go in there and know exactly what to do.

00:32:41She's a badass.

00:32:42I mean, she's right.

00:32:43I thrive under pressure.

00:32:45You know, the Iron Survivor is the best place for me to showcase what Kendall Gray is all about.

00:32:49I don't know if I'm going to be first or last.

00:32:53And I don't know if I want to be first or last or in the middle.

00:32:55I don't.

00:32:55Look, last year was crazy.

00:32:57There really is no right answer.

00:32:58I mean, that doesn't really help.

00:33:00Thank you, I guess.

00:33:01I'm going to try.

00:33:01Look, Kelly.

00:33:02I'm going to be strategizing my pins, minimizing my time in the penalty box.

00:33:07And I'm locked in to become the Iron Survivor and the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship.

00:33:12Look, a year ago, I didn't know my own voice.

00:33:15And I thought I was ready.

00:33:16But now I'm walking into Deadline in San Antonio with true confidence that everything that led me to this point was for a purpose.

00:33:23Now, you're walking into this match with a lot of eyes on you.

00:33:27But a lot of support as well.

00:33:30You two have grown so close while building RenQCC.

00:33:35So what is this dynamic?

00:33:36How has it been like?

00:33:37I'm the biggest Kendall Gray fan.

00:33:39And I know how important it is just to be in the Iron Survivor match.

00:33:43So I can't wait to see Kendall hold up the RenQCC sign when she is the Iron Survivor.

00:33:48It's going to be amazing.

00:33:49That's why Ren's my girl.

00:33:50You know, I saw Ren.

00:33:51Okay.

00:33:52I'm going to let go now.

00:33:52Okay?

00:33:54I saw Ren in the Iron Survivor last year.

00:33:56And I saw her break out.

00:33:58Ren Sinclair.

00:33:59She was able to come in out of the penalty box and secure a fall.

00:34:03Look, Kelly.

00:34:04Girls run the world.

00:34:05And that's what RenQCC is all about.

00:34:07And this girl is going to show that I'm built for big moments.

00:34:11John Cena gave me this opportunity.

00:34:12And at deadline, I'm walking out with a victory.

00:34:15And I can bet you, mark my words, that by the end of the night,

00:34:19everyone's going to be talking about one girl.

00:34:21Kendall Gray.

00:34:22And that's her.

00:34:22Well, Kendall, I wish you luck.

00:34:24And thank you so much again for joining me today, guys.

00:34:31You can watch John Cena's last match

00:34:33and all the excitement of Saturday night's main event next Saturday,

00:34:36December 13th at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific,

00:34:39streaming on Peacock in the U.S.

00:34:41and on YouTube internationally.

00:34:43Coverage begins at 6 Eastern, 3 Pacific on YouTube.

00:34:47I've been trying to reach you literally all day.

00:34:54Listen, Z, I am, I'm so sorry about what's been going on the past few weeks.

00:34:59I would have really loved to have you here tonight.

00:35:02No, you know what?

00:35:03I'm sorry.

00:35:04I, I feel terrible.

00:35:07And I would have been there to watch you tonight.

00:35:08I just didn't think you wanted me there.

00:35:11No, that's not the case at all.

00:35:14But also, I do want to say I'm sorry for, you know,

00:35:17not telling you about Saturday night's main event.

00:35:19I just, I thought you didn't want to hear from me, so.

00:35:22I get it.

00:35:23I mean, I would have loved to hear it from you in person

00:35:25instead of watching it happen, but I get it.

00:35:28Hey, uh, look, when you get back, I think we should talk.

00:35:32Yeah, totally.

00:35:33We definitely need to talk this through.

00:35:35But, uh, the Iron Survivor is next, so actually, I, I gotta run.

00:35:39Oh, uh, okay.

00:35:41Um, good luck.

00:35:42Thanks.

00:35:43See you, Z.

00:35:44Okay, bye.

00:35:45Bye.

00:35:50All right, all right.

00:35:52Bellyboard World Tour 25 taking the honk, honk to not home.

00:35:57Boys met up at the airport, then a quick flight to Dallas

00:36:00before the doozy to Japan.

00:36:02You know, we had to get some movement on the layover.

00:36:04Circulation socks, if you know, you know.

00:36:06Spotted a wild hank, then a quick shirt change

00:36:08before we got on the 13-hour flight.

00:36:12Full disclosure, neither of the Belly Boys

00:36:14have ever left the country,

00:36:16and we were excited about the meal service,

00:36:18so the flight kind of flew by, no pun intended.

00:36:20But before we knew it, we were driving around Tokyo Bay

00:36:23to stop at the dojo.

00:36:24We're here, baby.

00:36:25Let's go.

00:36:27Oh, people probably hate us.

00:36:28I'm such a tourist right now.

00:36:29Hank, good job.

00:36:31I'm doing it, bro.

00:36:31You're doing it, Hank.

00:36:32I'm doing it.

00:36:33Our corner, WWE superstar,

00:36:36hank and kank.

00:36:39Hank and kank.

00:36:41Hank and kank.

00:36:43Hank and kank.

00:36:44kank.

00:36:45kank.

00:36:46kank.

00:36:47kank.

00:36:48Here come the invaders.

00:36:49Hank Walker and kank.

00:36:51kank.

00:36:52kank.

00:36:53kank.

00:36:54kank.

00:36:55kank.

00:36:56kank.

00:36:57kank.

00:36:58kank.

00:36:59kank.

00:37:00kank.

00:37:01kank.

00:37:02kank.

00:37:03kank.

00:37:04kank.

00:37:05Take it, take former MFC Tag Team Champions, but take it, take future G.H.C. Tag Team Champions.

00:37:26Respect is what we came for.

00:37:34Respect is what we're going to leave with when we bring the G.H.C. back to NXT.

00:37:41Honk, honk.

00:37:44Well, Booker, get ready because our former Tag Team Champions are back.

00:37:49And, yes, the pair of former NOAA Tag Team Champions, Hank and Tank, return Tuesday to NXT.

00:37:55I know you're excited.

00:37:56You're going to be honking and all that stuff.

00:37:58You know it.

00:37:58You know that's the belly voice.

00:38:00Went all the way.

00:38:00Hey, man.

00:38:01This is the cup.

00:38:02It's the bun.

00:38:03And, number one, Tag Team.

00:38:06Oh, yeah, man.

00:38:07What does all say about a team that was successful here but also won gold in Japan?

00:38:10It's the bun.

00:38:11Did I just say that?

00:38:12Yeah, but I wanted you to elaborate on it.

00:38:14Never mind.

00:38:14We're so excited to see those two bats this Tuesday.

00:38:17But we are sold out here tonight in San Antonio.

00:38:21And while we're excited to see those two, we're also excited to see what's coming up with these five women.

00:38:27They are all ready to compete.

00:38:28Not only against themselves but also time.

00:38:31Who will have the ultimate strategy in the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge?

00:38:36This Saturday at Deadline, NXT will once again present a truly revolutionary match.

00:38:48The Iron Survivor Challenge.

00:38:50There will be two Iron Survivor Challenges.

00:38:53One for the men and one for the women.

00:38:55Five superstars will compete in this unique 25-minute match.

00:39:12They will battle each other and the clock.

00:39:19Two superstars will start the match.

00:39:21Then every five minutes, another superstar will join the match until all five are in the ring.

00:39:28The goal of the match is to have the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes.

00:39:33Falls can be won at any time via pinfall or submission.

00:39:37When a superstar wins a fall, they'll earn a point.

00:39:40However, when a superstar loses a fall, they must pay the penalty.

00:39:45They're forced out of the ring and into the penalty box for 90 seconds.

00:39:49Once 90 seconds are up, the superstar can re-enter the match.

00:39:52The superstar who scored the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes will be named the Iron Survivor

00:40:13and will become the number one contender for the NXT Championship.

00:40:18The countdown to NXT deadline on Saturday begins.

00:40:23The following contest is the Women's Hired Survivor Challenge!

00:40:42In this match, the superstar who scores the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes will be declared the winner

00:40:52and the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship!

00:40:59Well, we're about to find out which two will have the most time to spend in this match.

00:41:14And two to three first, from Boynton Beach Short, Kalani Jordan!

00:41:25Booker, she's as confident as ever.

00:41:27How does a superstar's confidence grow after their first world title win?

00:41:32I'm not just talking about any title.

00:41:33She is a former Women's World Champion, having held the TNA Knockouts title.

00:41:39The optimal word right there was World Champion, and not just that, and so young.

00:41:44Kalani Jordan had such an upside because of her confidence, as well as her in-me IQ, like I say,

00:41:50and such a young age.

00:41:51She's special.

00:41:53She's special, man!

00:41:54Well, she will have the entire time to soak up as many pins, get as many submissions, as many decisions as she can.

00:42:02So, as of right now, time's certainly on her side, and also whomever she's facing first.

00:42:07From Las Vegas, Savannah, she is the E-ball Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!

00:42:32We see Red Sinclair heading to the back, and I've got to get your thoughts on John Cena's hand-picked field.

00:42:36And Cena has to be sitting back, enjoying tonight, enjoying what he's about to witness one week before his last match

00:42:43on Saturday night's main event in the nation's capital, as he'll be facing Gunther.

00:42:48I mean, the field John Cena actually picked, I mean, in fact, I'm only going to get ahead of myself

00:42:53because we still got more to come out here.

00:42:55But, uh, Kimberly Gray, she's young, impressionable now.

00:42:59She's the E-ball's champion.

00:43:01She's got a lot to prove in a match like this.

00:43:02A place that John Cena was once in himself.

00:43:06Three is the number of most eliminations in a single women's Iron Survivor matchup.

00:43:13And, again, we're going to have a scoreboard up.

00:43:15You're going to see all the competitors.

00:43:16The competitors, with every decision, that number will go up.

00:43:19The penalty box is right here to our right, lit up right now in red.

00:43:24You suffer a decision.

00:43:25You head in there for 20 seconds.

00:43:27Big, big.

00:43:27It's about to pop off.

00:43:29It's about to pop off, dog.

00:43:30Relax.

00:43:31And look at the, what do you mean, relax?

00:43:32I am calm, cool, and collected.

00:43:33You're the one sweating and fanning yourself right now as Kalani Jordan and Kendall Gray start.

00:43:37Oh, here we go.

00:43:39You got to wonder, too, when it comes to Ren Sinclair, how much advice did she give?

00:43:43Sinclair, of course, was in this match just one year ago.

00:43:46Ren Sinclair was also part of the NQCC.

00:43:50She has a lot of knowledge as far as Matt Wrestling as well as Kendall Gray.

00:43:53So, iron sharpens iron, Vic.

00:43:56That's certainly true.

00:43:57And, whoa, a miss.

00:43:58Whoa, here we go.

00:43:59Into the cover, looking for that first quick decision.

00:44:01That was so smart.

00:44:01So smart.

00:44:02You got to know how to maximize every second in this matchup right here because it's all about strategy.

00:44:09You said it earlier, Vic, the ultimate strategy.

00:44:11Who's going to have it?

00:44:12Whoa.

00:44:14Look at the core strength.

00:44:15Kalani trying to turn this into a backslide of sorts.

00:44:19Referee in this matchup, Derek Sanders.

00:44:21Jeremy Marcus is here to our right, watching the door.

00:44:24Trying to go low, right up and over.

00:44:26There's that athletic background, but there's nothing athletic about a slap.

00:44:29Oh, yeah.

00:44:29You got to give the advantage to Kalani Jordan in this matchup.

00:44:33I mean, she's been here.

00:44:34She's done that.

00:44:35Kendall Gray, she's just now trying to feel her way through this thing.

00:44:39I get, oh, wait a minute.

00:44:40A little bit of an alligator roll, another kick.

00:44:42I'm glad you bring up Kalani Jordan, who has been here because, yes, she has competed in this matchup before.

00:44:47I want to remind you, she had no decisions in that matchup when she competed in 2023.

00:44:52Big goose egg.

00:44:53You know, that's got to fuel her.

00:44:54Yeah, yeah.

00:44:54Yeah, it was big goose egg, but she was running up.

00:44:56She came so close.

00:44:57She came so close to actually winning the thing.

00:44:59So, my thing is, Kalani Jordan definitely could come out on top of this thing.

00:45:04Going up, going over.

00:45:05Is the all-women's champion double stop to the gun?

00:45:07Here we go.

00:45:08Is this going to be the first decision?

00:45:10And you look at the clock on the left.

00:45:11You see, that's counting up right now, just over one minute and 48 seconds.

00:45:15When that hits five minutes, the next superstar will come into this matchup.

00:45:19You're going to see a lot of time flashing up.

00:45:21This is my favorite matchup of the year here at NXT.

00:45:28And the other thing that's interesting, whoa, inside cradle.

00:45:30Shoulders are down.

00:45:32Shifting some weight again.

00:45:33Shoulders down.

00:45:34Going to see a lot of try to get quick decisions as we see some back and forth between these two women in a kickout.

00:45:40You know, the NXT universe that's sitting here, this match goes 25 minutes.

00:45:44It doesn't go 20 minutes.

00:45:45It doesn't go 18.

00:45:45It goes a full 25.

00:45:47You certainly cannot win this matchup up front.

00:45:50But you also give the opening to somebody to pick up some position.

00:45:52Oh, man.

00:45:53That was about weathering that storm, trying to pick up, you know, one here, trying to pick up a point there.

00:45:57And the thing is, Kalani Jordan, I don't think she's thinking about that right now.

00:46:01She's trying to go out here and wrestle Kendall Gray instead of going out there and trying to pick up a victory, dog, by any means necessary.

00:46:09And as I said earlier, too, it's hard to argue, but Kalani hasn't really shined as of late.

00:46:15Think of all the great things she's done.

00:46:17The championship goal that she's won.

00:46:18The new attitude that she now has.

00:46:20Look, sometimes you've got to lose to know how to win.

00:46:22Kalani Jordan, she knows that.

00:46:23Northern light suplex with a bridge and a kickout.

00:46:26She knows that.

00:46:26The thing about Kalani Jordan is, like I say, Vic, she's young in this game, but she's so experienced.

00:46:31First North American women's champion as well as she's going down there to TNA and just rock the whole damn house.

00:46:38Come on, man.

00:46:39Give her a credit.

00:46:40You also just saw Kalani look up at the clock.

00:46:42She knows she has less than two minutes of just having this matchup as a one-on-one before it turns into a triple threat,

00:46:47before it turns into a four-way, before it turns into a five-way matchup.

00:46:51And you talk about, boom, a powerbreaker.

00:46:53There he is.

00:46:54Get a cover here, quick.

00:46:55Get a cover.

00:46:55That was excellently executed, but only a two-count.

00:46:58Look at the past winners.

00:46:59And let's start with, as we get another cover and a kickout,

00:47:01let's start with the first one to ever do it, your prodigy, Roxanne Perez.

00:47:06Let's talk about last year's winner, Julie, as we see this matchup again.

00:47:10A now former women's world champion.

00:47:13This matchup certainly is a springboard to success.

00:47:17If you talk about those women, I mean, Roxanne Perez, it catapulted her career all the way to the main roster, baby.

00:47:23Let me tell you something.

00:47:24When you get to the main roster, it's a, whoa, whoa.

00:47:27When you get to the main roster, it's a big check, Wade Miller.

00:47:30Oh, under 60 seconds until the third superstar will enter this match randomly selected earlier today.

00:47:37No points on the board either.

00:47:39Certainly is not, and that's something we're going to keep our eye on.

00:47:41I mean, this is just such a unique matchup, unlike anything in the WWE, on display.

00:47:47Oh, right here at NXT.

00:47:50Nasty landing and a vicious kick from Kalani.

00:47:53Kalani got that attitude now, which she understands.

00:47:55Big lane drop.

00:47:56This is my bitch.

00:47:57This is my bitch.

00:47:58This is my baby.

00:47:59In the back of the tackle.

00:48:00Oh, yes.

00:48:00Almost getting that first decision.

00:48:02Stay on the gas, Kalani.

00:48:03You got, you got about 20 seconds.

00:48:06But are you seeing what could be setting up for that one of a kind instead?

00:48:10Switching gears, looking down.

00:48:12Looking for that frog splash rolling right through.

00:48:14Is there a sense of almost desperation?

00:48:16Oh, baby.

00:48:17Out of nowhere.

00:48:18Oh, baby.

00:48:18And we got our first decision.

00:48:19You've got to be kidding.

00:48:20We got our first decision right before the five.

00:48:27Wow.

00:48:27And now who's coming down?

00:48:31The Juggernaut.

00:48:33Jordan going to the penalty box.

00:48:36And let's set the stage right now.

00:48:38Jordan Grace is here.

00:48:39She's fresh.

00:48:40Kalani Jordan, you're right.

00:48:41She is now in the penalty box for 90 seconds.

00:48:44And that clock starts as soon as her feet hit outside of the ring.

00:48:48You see her in your bottom part of your screen.

00:48:50Jeremy Marcus, the official, is going to be there to open the door when that one-minute

00:48:55clock hits zero as we are five minutes, five and a half minutes, excuse me, and change

00:49:00into this match.

00:49:01I mean, Jordan Grace has a moment here.

00:49:04I mean, this is the biggest moment perhaps in Jordan Grace's career here in NXT.

00:49:08She's a three-time knockout champion, but she's a zero-time NXT champion.

00:49:13Oh, yes.

00:49:14High-impact offense.

00:49:16So let me ask you this, Book.

00:49:17Is she feeling the most pressure to win here?

00:49:20And she's looking for Grace under pressure.

00:49:22I think so.

00:49:23Without a shot over down.

00:49:24Oh, yes.

00:49:25That's why right now Jordan Grace is going downhill.

00:49:28And she's picking up steam.

00:49:30That's the Juggernaut, man.

00:49:31Check it out.

00:49:32Check it out.

00:49:33Oh, yes, man.

00:49:34She was not able to get the decision, and she has to enjoy seeing Kalani, that being

00:49:39Kalani Jordan, in the penalty box.

00:49:41There's a lot of beef between those two women, but something to keep our eye on throughout

00:49:44the night.

00:49:45As we go up, we go over, and a kickout rolling right through.

00:49:48Oh, wait a minute.

00:49:49That's a submission.

00:49:50This is innovative, Booker.

00:49:52I've never seen this before.

00:49:55Verbal tap.

00:49:56Verbal tap.

00:49:57There was no verbal tap.

00:49:58But look, the zero hit, and Kalani coming right back into the matchup.

00:50:02And that's the dangers of that 90s.

00:50:04And you've got to have your eyes all around.

00:50:05And you also start to wonder, as we're 640 into this matchup, you've got to go 25 minutes.

00:50:11Kalani, and maybe even Kendall, when does the stamina factor come into play, Booker?

00:50:17I don't think the stamina factor is going to come into play for Kendall.

00:50:19She's the youngest in this.

00:50:20Run through, run through, run through.

00:50:22Right here.

00:50:22Shit.

00:50:23Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

00:50:24Another counter.

00:50:25Man.

00:50:26But it comes back to that 90 seconds inside the penalty blocks.

00:50:29I mean, that's an obvious time to catch your win, as right now getting caught in an ankle

00:50:33lock was Kalani.

00:50:34Kalani rolling through.

00:50:35Center of the ring.

00:50:36Still no decisions.

00:50:37And right now it is 1-0 in favor of the Evolve Women's Champion.

00:50:40Counter.

00:50:40Oh, baby.

00:50:42Oh, yes.

00:50:44Wow.

00:50:45Jordan now on the board.

00:50:47Gray to the penalty box.

00:50:49Beautiful counter.

00:50:50Double counter there by Kalani Jordan.

00:50:52But this is what I was getting into, Booker.

00:50:54Now look at who are the two stars in this matchup.

00:50:56It's the two women that are right now just spitting venom at one another.

00:51:00Can they keep their emotions in check?

00:51:02It's about competition.

00:51:03It really is about competition and being the champion in this business.

00:51:06I don't think it's personal or anything like that.

00:51:08Not the way you think.

00:51:09That's true.

00:51:10And when it comes to someone like Jordan Grace, first time competing under this sort

00:51:14of stipulation, she certainly has game-changing power as we're seeing right now.

00:51:18But there's a roll through.

00:51:20Big time.

00:51:21Was looking for a pin and a nice short arm clothesline.

00:51:23But didn't relinquish the hold.

00:51:24Continuing to apply the pressure.

00:51:26Because Jordan has 45 more seconds in this matchup where it's just her.

00:51:30The strength right now just came to play from Jordan Grace blocked that whatever Kalani

00:51:35was trying to attempt.

00:51:38Big kick.

00:51:39Big swing and a miss with an elbow.

00:51:40That kick connected.

00:51:41Rocking the body for a second.

00:51:43Ooh!

00:51:44Big DDT.

00:51:45A victory here for Kalani.

00:51:47Jordan would put her back in front.

00:51:49And a kick out.

00:51:50Under 30 seconds, though, for these two women when Gray will come out of the penalty box.

00:51:56I gotta ask you this, too.

00:51:58Because we're still in the early part of this matchup.

00:52:00Would you prefer entering early or entering later in the match?

00:52:04Would you want more time or would you want everybody to be more damaged?

00:52:06I wanna see everybody.

00:52:07I wanna scout everybody.

00:52:08I wanna see what kind of, you know, opportunities that I can exploit as well as I can exploit.

00:52:14Like you just said.

00:52:15Stamina.

00:52:16Oh, yes!

00:52:17Got caught.

00:52:18Sleeping right there.

00:52:20Beautiful.

00:52:20And that was Jordan Grace, who was watching the clock, knew just when that door would open.

00:52:25It pounced.

00:52:26It's up and over.

00:52:27Nasty landing.

00:52:29And I don't mean for Kalani.

00:52:30I meant for Jordan.

00:52:31That knee right to the face.

00:52:33Krollman for another cover.

00:52:34Got to get another.

00:52:34Another decision and another kick out.

00:52:36Because we're under 90 seconds until the fourth superstar will enter.

00:52:40Look at the knee.

00:52:42Right there.

00:52:43Right into the forehead.

00:52:44That was gnarly.

00:52:45That was gnarly right there.

00:52:47Let me tell you right now.

00:52:48Kalani Jordan, she's not gonna let off the gas.

00:52:50She's going for it.

00:52:51She certainly isn't.

00:52:51But you just said this.

00:52:52How should superstars waiting to come out here be looking for weaknesses in others?

00:52:57You said you'd be scouting.

00:52:59What should they be looking for?

00:53:00Like I say, stamina.

00:53:01You know, if there's a little injury, you talked about that knee from Kalani Jordan.

00:53:06And yes, you're gonna be looking for stuff like that.

00:53:08Here we go, baby.

00:53:10We're up top.

00:53:1115 more seconds and counting until the fourth superstar will enter.

00:53:15You see the scoreboard.

00:53:16We're knotted at one.

00:53:21Oh, man.

00:53:22Who will it be?

00:53:30Oh, books getting hot.

00:53:33Oh, yeah, baby.

00:53:35Tallulah Green time.

00:53:37Educated feet.

00:53:38Going to work.

00:53:39There's no doubt she's the best striker in this matchup.

00:53:43Yeah, it's gonna take a lot more than that.

00:53:44But right now, just got caught with that big back fist.

00:53:46Cover, cover, cover, cover, cover.

00:53:48And Lola comes in.

00:53:50That's sort of point.

00:53:51Lola comes in and just like that, picks up a fall, picks up a decision.

00:53:55Booker, she did that in less than 30 seconds.

00:53:57And right now, those feet of fury are firing.

00:54:01Ooh, Kalani may not want to do that.

00:54:03And Kalani may be thinking second about sticking her nose in Lola's business.

00:54:08Lola's been at the top of her game right here.

00:54:10Oh, here we go.

00:54:12Ah, yeah.

00:54:13Here we go.

00:54:14One more time.

00:54:15Jordan wasn't gonna let you have any more.

00:54:17Ah!

00:54:17Big German suplex, though, from Lola.

00:54:19Swing and a miss.

00:54:20Lola catching Kalani.

00:54:21Double your pleasure, double your fun statement with a double German suplex.

00:54:26And oh, well, I bite my tongue.

00:54:28The floor is yours, Book.

00:54:29Oh, here we go, baby.

00:54:33Ha, ha.

00:54:34Hey, kick, kick, kick.

00:54:37Whoa, whoa.

00:54:39Whoa.

00:54:39And Lola Vice turning things around, and she's done it less than 90 seconds into this matchup.

00:54:45Big side suplex cover and a kickout.

00:54:4930 seconds until we're back to a four-way matchup as Lola crawling over for another cover and another kickout.

00:54:55But I want to talk about how unique this match is.

00:54:57It's unlike anything, as I mentioned.

00:54:58It's elements of a gauntlet match, an Iron Man match, a championship scramble, the ultimate test of strategy and endurance.

00:55:05There's so many variables in a match like this.

00:55:08It's almost impossible to really prepare for it.

00:55:10But you do have to have some sort of strategy coming into a game like this right here.

00:55:15Well, it's quite the 25 minutes creativity, the crux of what this brand is.

00:55:19Oh, wait a minute.

00:55:20Wait a minute.

00:55:21Shoulders are down and a kickout as the penalty box has just opened up.

00:55:26And we're back to a full playing field.

00:55:28And in less than three minutes, the final superstar will enter this matchup.

00:55:33Kim LeGray has been chipping at this.

00:55:34Whoa.

00:55:35She's been so impressed.

00:55:37Talking about stamina, I don't think she's going to have a problem with stamina, Vickie.

00:55:40Coming right through.

00:55:41Oh, baby.

00:55:41Looking for a submission right now.

00:55:43Looking to extend that arm.

00:55:44Trying to hyperextend the left arm.

00:55:46Trying to get a submission on Jordan Grace.

00:55:47Grace doing a great job of blocking that by not breaking the grip.

00:55:51Shifting weight.

00:55:51Shoulders down.

00:55:52And again, going right back out.

00:55:54Oh, Connor.

00:55:54Connor.

00:55:56Kendall Gray has scored a point.

00:55:58And you've got to go back to being in the penalty box.

00:56:00Gray has lost twice.

00:56:01She's been able to regroup herself.

00:56:03That's not part of a strategy.

00:56:04I mean, it is, isn't it?

00:56:05I don't think it's that.

00:56:06I think you're the last person you're going to prepare for in a matchup like this.

00:56:09This is Kendall Gray.

00:56:10I think that's it.

00:56:11I think that's what the problem is right here.

00:56:13Jordan Grace with a long walk as Kalani Jordan.

00:56:17If at first you don't succeed, try again.

00:56:19Looking for that.

00:56:21Looking for that one-of-a-kind.

00:56:22Split-legged Moonsault was not able to get it.

00:56:24Grace in the penalty box for just over one minute.

00:56:27Under two minutes until the final superstar will enter the matchup.

00:56:30But what is going on?

00:56:32Super German.

00:56:33Got all of it.

00:56:34Turning Kalani inside out.

00:56:35Big knee from Lola Vice.

00:56:36Lola.

00:56:37Lola.

00:56:37Double stop by Kendall.

00:56:41In the right place at the right time.

00:56:42Kendall Gray, like I say, man, she's a special type of talent, man.

00:56:47There you see Grace trying to get a few more breaths to refocus herself.

00:56:51Here's the massive replay.

00:56:53What a sequence of events in this matchup.

00:56:55Lola almost able to pick up another decision, which would have tied this matchup at two.

00:57:02But I also have to throw this out of the six total survivors.

00:57:05Maybe luck is on Lola's side because four of those six winners have entered at either number four or number five.

00:57:12As we're just over a minute from the fifth superstar.

00:57:14Oh, wow.

00:57:15Look here, man.

00:57:16Entering this match.

00:57:17Not just that, man.

00:57:18And the pace, the pace of this match, right?

00:57:20The ladies are definitely keeping up with that pace because right now it is fast and furious, Vic.

00:57:25And Kendall Gray is in front of it.

00:57:27Trust me, man.

00:57:28Oh, wait a minute.

00:57:30Lola is a half second away.

00:57:32Penalty box is back to zero.

00:57:33Oh!

00:57:33I don't know if it was seen, but Jordan Gray just kicked that door open and it knocked down and maybe knocked out Kalani Jordan.

00:57:42As Gray has come back in here, she's rested.

00:57:44She's ready.

00:57:45There's no love lost in a matchup like this.

00:57:47This is a history-making match.

00:57:49And Jordan Gray is about to get her moment.

00:57:52It just shines in the spotlight.

00:57:54Here we go.

00:57:55One more time, baby.

00:57:57Taking the plunge.

00:57:58Wow!

00:57:59She kicked out.

00:58:00Swing and a miss.

00:58:00Lola Vaiso getting rolled up.

00:58:02Rolling right through.

00:58:02Back up.

00:58:03Kick got countered.

00:58:04Oh, my word!

00:58:06Jordan Gray.

00:58:07Less than 20 seconds until Sol Ruko will enter this matchup.

00:58:10Looking for her first decision in this match is Jordan.

00:58:13A kick out from Lola.

00:58:14Yeah, Jordan Gray's up.

00:58:15Now she's going to hook the leg right there.

00:58:17She kind of got a three count.

00:58:19High cross body.

00:58:20Rolling through.

00:58:21Into the cover.

00:58:22Oh, wow.

00:58:23Jordan Gray has scored a point.

00:58:26And that's got to feel great for Jordan to pin Kalani.

00:58:28But here comes the final superstar.

00:58:32Get ready to ride the wave of momentum.

00:58:37Sol Ruka has entered this matchup.

00:58:40And now all the...

00:58:40Hey!

00:58:41Kalani's supposed to be in the box.

00:58:43Talk about that.

00:58:44No!

00:58:44She talked about that knee.

00:58:46And trust me, right now, Sol Ruka is compromised before she got out the box.

00:58:51Well, we all know that knee is obviously an issue.

00:58:54Everyone knows it.

00:58:55And I was just getting ready to talk about a big December for Sol.

00:58:58But we got to talk about Jordan Gray, who just got rolled through.

00:59:02Trying to take out two.

00:59:03Looking for a double combination.

00:59:05And a kick up and a double submission.

00:59:07What a match.

00:59:09No, Brooke.

00:59:10I know we got a double submission.

00:59:15Referee doing his job.

00:59:16Kalani with a sinister stare on her face.

00:59:18But not like this for Sol Ruka.

00:59:20Double pin again.

00:59:21Double kick out.

00:59:22So much going on.

00:59:24Grace rolling through.

00:59:25And another near fall.

00:59:28Yeah, Kalani very happy with herself.

00:59:29Unfortunate.

00:59:30I mean, I mean, the accident has happened.

00:59:32Well, we got to get back to the field at Frey.

00:59:3530 seconds for Jordan.

00:59:36I'm trying to get myself back into this match after what we just witnessed.

00:59:40It's a back and forth between these two women.

00:59:43Lola trying to sit down in another kick out.

00:59:46You know, and I guess to get us back into what we're witnessing here.

00:59:49As now we have less than 10 minutes in this matchup.

00:59:52What is the women's champion, J.C. Jain, thinking right now in this matchup?

00:59:56J.C. Jain is thinking like everybody else.

00:59:59It's a hell of a matchup right here.

01:00:00Who's going to wind up the winner?

01:00:03That's the question right there, Vic.

01:00:05Jordan Grace has got to be feeling some extra information.

01:00:08But that clock is done.

01:00:10The penalty box is open.

01:00:12She's feeling it.

01:00:13This could be her moment.

01:00:15U.S. TV!

01:00:17A man who put her in this match, John Cena.

01:00:20But he also put Kalani Jordan.

01:00:25Doesn't care about the people.

01:00:27Doesn't care about the locker room.

01:00:29Probably doesn't care that John Cena even put her in this match.

01:00:32But everybody else does.

01:00:33Standing switch though behind Lola.

01:00:35Meeting of the minds.

01:00:36Kalani rolling through.

01:00:37Shoulders down center of the ring.

01:00:38Near fall.

01:00:39Take a look at the scoreboard.

01:00:40But right now in the driver's seat is Kendall Gray.

01:00:43She's got the most victories.

01:00:44As everyone right now is playing catch up.

01:00:47So you may be wondering.

01:00:48She is not here.

01:00:49She was taken to the back from our medical team.

01:00:51After what transpired as she came into the match.

01:00:55Oh.

01:00:56Balance.

01:00:57Kalani.

01:00:58Oh.

01:00:59Big kick.

01:01:00And I still can't believe she blames Jordan Grace for her shortcomings at Gold Rush.

01:01:05As Grace trying to dump Kalani to the outside.

01:01:08You said it earlier.

01:01:09No love lost between these two.

01:01:10But they got to look past each other.

01:01:12To focus on the meth.

01:01:13Oh no no no.

01:01:14Oh you got to be kidding me.

01:01:16Spanish fly to the floor.

01:01:18That's what all caught you to the wind right there.

01:01:20By any means.

01:01:21That's a serian.

01:01:22Oh my god.

01:01:23It's so.

01:01:24The move back.

01:01:25She's not going to be held down.

01:01:27She's not going to stop.

01:01:29She just ran back out here.

01:01:30We're at full strength.

01:01:32If you talk about hockey.

01:01:34The penalty box is empty.

01:01:36We're at full strength in this match.

01:01:38Sol Ruka.

01:01:38Sol Ruka smashes some Sol.

01:01:40Stole one right there.

01:01:41Stole nothing damn it.

01:01:43Cover.

01:01:44Wow.

01:01:45Oh Sol to the other.

01:01:46Sol on Lola.

01:01:47Sol on Lola.

01:01:49Sol Ruka has sworn two points.

01:01:51And just like that Sol has changed it all.

01:01:56And there's the two women that are in the driver's seat right now.

01:02:00Lola Vice Jordan Grace is the first time two women have been in the penalty box.

01:02:03This match goes to 25 minutes.

01:02:05We're just over six minutes left.

01:02:07Who will be the women's Iron Survivor?

01:02:09Who will be the number one contender?

01:02:10Who will head to New Year's Evil?

01:02:13I'm so impressed with Sol Ruka coming back out here.

01:02:16With a bum knee.

01:02:18Compromise.

01:02:19Oh but.

01:02:19They might have slipped.

01:02:20But again you talk about the bum knee.

01:02:21She's fighting through the pain right now.

01:02:23She's fighting through it all.

01:02:25Another German suplex.

01:02:27Big December with Sol.

01:02:28Not just tonight but also next Saturday in D.C.

01:02:31Saturday night's main event.

01:02:32She'll face Bayley.

01:02:34It's time to step up if you're Sol.

01:02:36And that's what she's doing on one damn wall.

01:02:42Sol is not going to be stopped.

01:02:44Big knee right under the jaw.

01:02:45To take the lead late.

01:02:47Yeah.

01:02:47Oh breaking it up.

01:02:50Because look Booker look at the clock.

01:02:5219 minutes 30 seconds.

01:02:54Five and a half minutes left in this match.

01:02:56Sol Ruka went out there.

01:02:57She did a hell of a job.

01:02:59She gathered two points.

01:03:01And she's going for another one right here.

01:03:03I don't know what this is.

01:03:04But here we go.

01:03:06That's one way to get in.

01:03:08To what looks to be a dragon sleeper.

01:03:11Cinched in in the center of the ring.

01:03:13And now Jordan Grace.

01:03:16What's Grace thinking?

01:03:18Look at the penalty box clock.

01:03:20Grace right now.

01:03:21Sol with a double submission.

01:03:24Wait a minute.

01:03:24And the clock in the penalty box.

01:03:26Who's going to get that point?

01:03:27Whoa.

01:03:28There was no submission.

01:03:29There's no one tapping in the ring.

01:03:30A tap doesn't do any good on the outside.

01:03:32But Lola Vise getting back into the ring and breaking it up.

01:03:34Oh yes.

01:03:35Educated feet baby.

01:03:37Oh yes.

01:03:38Well it didn't catch Jordan to begin with.

01:03:40Caught her the second time around.

01:03:42And now she's looking.

01:03:43For the submission.

01:03:44Rolling through.

01:03:45Lola Vise can pick the point.

01:03:46No no no no no.

01:03:47Now another dragon.

01:03:48Big knee right under the jaw.

01:03:49Lola Vise.

01:03:50I mean these five women came to play.

01:03:53All action personified right here.

01:03:54X marks the spot.

01:03:56So Ruka's.

01:03:58She's on fire man.

01:03:59I think Ruka's the favorite to come into this Women's Iron Survivor match.

01:04:02You think so?

01:04:03You think so?

01:04:03I do think so.

01:04:04She came in five.

01:04:05I think she's the odds on favorite coming in with all the momentum.

01:04:09I don't think that's going to be a handicap.

01:04:12Is this going to be a no?

01:04:13Oh yeah.

01:04:14Wow.

01:04:14Making it up at the last second was Kalani.

01:04:16We're inside the final five minutes.

01:04:18Jordan into the cover.

01:04:19Wow.

01:04:20We got a three-way tie.

01:04:21Kalani Jordan has to store the point.

01:04:23We got a three-way tie right now.

01:04:25And we have just four minutes left.

01:04:29Minutes.

01:04:31There's Sol Ruka.

01:04:33Not at 100%.

01:04:34She did pin JC Jane this past Tuesday.

01:04:36There's the rest of the field.

01:04:38And we have a minute 15 for Jordan Grace who's headed to the penalty box.

01:04:42In the words of John Cena, you want some?

01:04:51Come get some.

01:04:52Here we go.

01:04:54It's all breaking down.

01:04:5660 seconds left for Grace.

01:04:57And you got to wonder, Jordan Grace has to be feeling it right now.

01:05:00Because the time in the match is ticking away.

01:05:01Jordan is in the best spot.

01:05:03Like you said, the sand in the hourglass is running out, man.

01:05:07It certainly is.

01:05:08As right now, big drop kick wiping out Kalani Jordan.

01:05:11And again, there is a three-way tie.

01:05:13As Lola Vice just wiped out Gray on the outside.

01:05:16Sol Ruka's the only one standing.

01:05:17Look at the clock on the far left.

01:05:19We have just three minutes in this matchup.

01:05:2330 seconds for Jordan Grace.

01:05:25Kalani Jordan, springboard moonsault.

01:05:28She's the one standing.

01:05:29She's got 25 seconds right now to get someone's body back in the ring.

01:05:33And it's going to be Lola Vice.

01:05:34All action personified here at this moment, Victor.

01:05:37Kalani looking at the clock, realizing this is that opportunity.

01:05:40This is that moment.

01:05:41Boom!

01:05:42Big slam.

01:05:43Is this going to be enough?

01:05:44She's got 10 seconds, so Jordan Grace comes back in.

01:05:46She's scaling to the top.

01:05:48She's looking to fly.

01:05:49And looking for a 450.

01:05:50Didn't add up.

01:05:51Rolling right through.

01:05:53Back up both these women.

01:05:54But again, we're back to full strength.

01:05:56Jordan Grace is back into this match.

01:05:59This is a moment.

01:06:02German superlinks with a blockbuster combo of sorts.

01:06:06Grace is the one who's in control.

01:06:08She's also down a decision.

01:06:11Voicing up the body.

01:06:12Jordan need a point.

01:06:13She needs to get on the point.

01:06:13Of her least favorite superstar.

01:06:15Oh, that is.

01:06:16Oh, my.

01:06:17Booker ran a faraway tie.

01:06:18Meteora.

01:06:19Center of the ring.

01:06:20Kick out.

01:06:21Fouraway tie, though.

01:06:22Big kick from Lola Vice.

01:06:24Vice falls into the cover.

01:06:25Whoa.

01:06:26Lola Vice.

01:06:27That's sort of one point.

01:06:28I think that point right there is going to seal this thing, man.

01:06:30Booker, we're at a five-way tie at two.

01:06:33This is a five-way tie.

01:06:34We've never had a five-way tie like this.

01:06:36This late in the game.

01:06:38Chopping on the body of Sol.

01:06:39The injured knee.

01:06:41Jordan Grace.

01:06:42Jordan Grace.

01:06:43The strength of Jordan.

01:06:44Whoa.

01:06:45Sol having to roll right through.

01:06:46And there's a lot of bodies in the penalty box.

01:06:47They got to be feeling the anxiousness.

01:06:49They got to be feeling that right now because they're looking at the game clock at 23 and a half.

01:06:53The spine just met steel.

01:06:56And on the outside, everyone's here.

01:06:58Everyone's in front of us.

01:06:59But time is the enemy.

01:07:01Time is the factor.

01:07:02And we got a five-way tie at two.

01:07:05Lola Vice got it locked in.

01:07:06And right now, Sol Hooker is grimacing, man.

01:07:09Right now, she's about to lose consciousness real quick.

01:07:12And again, continuing to fight through the pain.

01:07:15She's got so much on her mind.

01:07:16Bayley next week.

01:07:17Zarya, who we saw her talking to earlier.

01:07:19And trying to break the hole and did.

01:07:22Wow.

01:07:2230 seconds for Kalani.

01:07:25Under 40 seconds for Gray.

01:07:26Get it left.

01:07:27We're under 60 seconds in this match.

01:07:30Tied at two.

01:07:31Who will get the deciding factor?

01:07:33What the hell is going to happen in San Antonio?

01:07:37No, no, no.

01:07:38You don't think.

01:07:39She's not going to do that.

01:07:40Ah!

01:07:41A soul.

01:07:43Snatcher.

01:07:45If she can get Lola in the ring, she's got a decision.

01:07:50Holy shit.

01:07:51Holy shit.

01:07:52Booker, 30 seconds.

01:07:5330 seconds left.

01:07:5430 seconds left in this matchup.

01:07:56Kalani just broke free.

01:07:57Oh, a cheap shot.

01:07:58Kicking out, taking out.

01:07:59Oh, baby.

01:08:00All the way to the turn.

01:08:02Oh, baby.

01:08:03Oh, baby.

01:08:0420 seconds on the clip.

01:08:06Let's try.

01:08:06Jordan Grace breaking up the count.

01:08:08Jordan Grace right now getting rid of Kalani.

01:08:11You can see.

01:08:12Oh, pull down.

01:08:13Wait a minute.

01:08:13The clock hits zero.

01:08:15Kendall's out of the box.

01:08:17Off the top.

01:08:18Shaves of Gray.

01:08:19No way.

01:08:20One, two, three.

01:08:22Kendall Gray has scored a point.

01:08:24And we got a shocker in San Antonio.

01:08:30There is your winner.

01:08:32And the new number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship, Kendall Gray.

01:08:44Wow.

01:08:45Wow, you gotta be kidding.

01:08:47Kendall Gray, the youngest.

01:08:50Some would say the rookie.

01:08:52We're not dead.

01:08:53Like Muhammad Ali.

01:08:55It's 64.

01:08:56Shock the world, man.

01:08:58Shock the world.

01:09:00You gotta love it, dog.

01:09:03Wow.

01:09:03The most exciting, fastest, 25 minutes in the WWE.

01:09:09Let's go back to some of this action, this matchup.

01:09:13Sol Rukin had left the match.

01:09:15Apparently said, damn, I'm not listening to the medical team.

01:09:19Ran back out here.

01:09:20Wow.

01:09:20And was able to pick up not one, but two quick decisions.

01:09:24That put her in the driver's seat, of course.

01:09:26And as a lot of superstars were sitting in the penalty box.

01:09:29A lot of superstars were sitting there thinking, waiting.

01:09:32They were watching others earn victories.

01:09:35They were watching others stack bodies, stack points.

01:09:38Just like Kalani Jordan did right here to Jordan Grace.

01:09:42This was such a matchup built on strategy, stamina, tactics.

01:09:47We saw almost this moment here for Jordan Grace.

01:09:50But you can't celebrate in this sort of matchup.

01:09:53There's no time to do so.

01:09:55The action continued to go.

01:09:56As you see in the background, the clock was running down.

01:09:59LeVice picked up a decision.

01:10:01That tied everything at two falls apiece.

01:10:03But when the time was winding out, when the time mattered the most, this was the deciding factor.

01:10:09That was the deciding blow.

01:10:11And that is what made Kendall Gray the Iron Survivor.

01:10:17And we now know the date is set for these two women.

01:10:26The question is, who will walk out of New Year's Evil NXT Women's Champion?

01:10:33And I asked earlier, what was going through the mind of our champion?

01:10:38She sees the field.

01:10:40She sees the winner.

01:10:42And she sees who is next in line.

01:10:45And she sees who is next in line.

01:11:03食とは経緯の象徴だ。

01:11:07調理。

01:11:09盛り付け。

01:11:11分かち合い。

01:11:12これなのに、なぜこの食卓にはこれほどのブレーが横行するのか。

01:11:20私とやり合いたいなら、そんなゲームはするな。

01:11:27WrestleMania Vegas。

01:11:30勝負は誰にでも開かれている。

01:11:32hommeの関係家機。

01:11:46評価は何目を見つけている。

01:11:47知らえ後、変種家機。

01:11:53昨日に関係上昇vs関係。

01:11:53my name is drake moreau born and raised in the swamps of louisiana if there's one thing we know

01:12:15down on the bayou is how to have a good time in anything we do and yes that includes whooping

01:12:21some ass and i'm proud of where i'm from and i always dreamed of making a name for myself

01:12:28by becoming somebody that my state my community and my family could always be proud of

01:12:35but the more you think you got your life planned out

01:12:40the more you truly have no idea what's gonna happen next

01:12:51are you weak and pale ready to fail or tendon jacked ready to attack

01:12:57no feelings only facts that's for the start-o-meter to figure out pretty fast

01:13:03and today on the stud menu drum roll please

01:13:06this week on the start-o-meter it's gall is ranking legendary wwe tag teams

01:13:18listen it's gall knows the value of having a pump partner right by your side to pack up wins

01:13:25and push those final few reps at the gym if they're real gym bro they'll even hit you up with the baby

01:13:31oil in places you can't even reach and speaking of bros let's talk about the steiner brothers

01:13:37two absolute dogs who wreck everybody in that ring and just like it's gall genetic freaks

01:13:44tinted jacked ready to attack you might have heard about the steiner math but to rank them

01:13:51i'm going to use it's gall's geometry so final verdict the steiner brothers get

01:13:57a 9.3 on the start-o-meter

01:13:59when it comes to gall's geometry you can't forget about the three-dimensional tag team

01:14:06and that is the dudley boys one of the most successful tag teams in history their loyalty

01:14:13to each other was second to none but it's gall believes they should have spent a little less

01:14:19time getting the tables and a whole lot more time getting the gains

01:14:23listen final verdict the dudley boys get a 6.8 on the start-o-meter

01:14:29but i must testify i gotta find a new pump partner i'm i'm losing gains by the minute

01:14:36all right cut it you don't get to see it's gall feeling feelings

01:14:39this is where the future of faux wrestling starts

01:15:04wwe does a great job of pointing people in the right direction nowadays

01:15:3226 years ago it was a very protected carnival business

01:15:37of like i'm not telling you how to do this

01:15:41because i'm gonna protect what i have and it was very secret and there was still

01:15:46the business is kind of based off of fraternity

01:15:49so it held the secrecy of a fraternity

01:15:53and nowadays it's great because we can get the best of people

01:15:57everything happened for a reason but it would have been so easy for me to find the place

01:16:01because the school that triple h was trained at was like 25 minutes from my house

01:16:07growing up and i never knew it was there

01:16:11tom rinaldi's full interview with john cena will be made available immediately following raw

01:16:40yes the one that zarya threw in the towel to help you win semantics dawn

01:16:43so i'm thinking starting tuesday an open challenge for my north american women's championship

01:16:49i mean this is the deepest women's division in wrestling so

01:16:52like the only reason you're still champion is because zarya threw in the towel

01:16:58and yes this is the deepest women's division in wrestling

01:17:01and an open challenge means that anyone gets an opportunity

01:17:06are you are you sure you want to do that

01:17:08you don't think i can do it

01:17:10i didn't exactly say that but look you're no

01:18:13i'll be ready

01:18:17i thought about first i thought about last

01:18:19if you're first you get the chance to run up the score

01:18:22but you run the risk of starting fast and fading

01:18:25and if you're last
