00:00:00Oh, we're up in the high-rent district right now, and Ethan Page, oh yes, man.
00:00:06Iguana trying his best to fight. Iguana doing his best to try to slither away.
00:00:10He can't fight it. He can't fight it.
00:00:11Oh, no. Yes!
00:00:13What the hell?
00:00:14He slithered right into American Rana.
00:00:16Oh, Page, I gotta give Page benefit out, rolling to the outside.
00:00:20Living a fight for a few more minutes as champion.
00:00:23What's on Iguana's mind?
00:00:24Iggy's thinking something. Iggy's on the move.
00:00:26Here we go.
00:00:30Wow!
00:00:32And Mr. Iguana has San Antonio fired up.
00:00:37Looking to fly once more.
00:00:39Iguana's going up top. Here we go.
00:00:41I can't believe you find no choice.
00:00:44What is that green soap? Why is all this green soap coming?
00:00:47It's paint. Cover. No!
00:00:50Half-second book.
00:00:52In shock. A half-second away.
00:00:55Look at this. Listen to the NXT universe.
00:00:58Mr. Iguana put together a lot of offense in that moment and was close to capturing the gold.
00:01:06His most recent title, of course, was the AAA mixed tag titles that he co-held for 329 days.
00:01:13Big shot right there, Landon.
00:01:14Here we go, baby.
00:01:16Let's go to school.
00:01:17Let's go home, man.
00:01:18There's that twisted grin.
00:01:20Yes!
00:01:21And just like that, fun and games are over.
00:01:25Cameron Schroeder and still, the NXT North American Champion, Paul Ego, Ethan Payne!
00:01:39He recently surpassed Johnny Gargano for fifth longest to hold the gold, as that number will continue to climb.
00:01:47And he currently adds to the third most successful championship defenses in this calendar year.
00:01:54You don't gotta like him.
00:01:57It's hard to respect him.
00:01:58But you can't deny him, that being Ethan Page, as Mr. Iguana came very close to taking the NXT North American title to AAA.
00:02:10In the end, it was Ethan Page who had all the fun and games come to a screeching halt with that twisted grin.
00:02:19And on this night, sold out in San Antonio, at deadline, Page continues to prove he is the greatest North American.
00:02:34Yes, thank you.
00:02:36Thank you, Victor.
00:02:38What?
00:02:44Rated T for team.
00:02:49Rated T for team.
00:03:19Rated T for team.
00:03:49Rated T for team.
00:04:19You can't see me.
00:04:27I remember way back then we used to hang.
00:04:30You can't see me.
00:04:32You can't see me.
00:04:34You can't see me.
00:04:36It's not just the words.
00:04:38It's the hand gesture.
00:04:42You're seeing pro athletes doing You Can't See Me,
00:04:46and you're seeing it in major sports across the board.
00:04:50This is undeniable.
00:04:52It's one of those things that just takes on a life of its own.
00:04:55I don't know what that's from.
00:04:58You can't see me.
00:05:08My theme music is odd.
00:05:10My younger brother, Sean, just did this dance that Tony Ayo did.
00:05:13Moving his head around his hand, said, I'm getting that on TV.
00:05:16It just overcame the meme culture.
00:05:19As far as, like, cultural impact, it just shows how powerful he was.
00:05:27He now is a pop culture sensation.
00:05:30He transcended wrestling.
00:05:32You can't see me.
00:05:36Bay Area, that's where you grew up.
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:58Yeah, San Jose.
00:05:58So what was your childhood?
00:05:59Like, I know you're obsessed with wrestling.
00:06:01You've said that multiple times on just a little bit.
00:06:03Yeah.
00:06:03Is it true that you wore wrestling shirts to basketball?
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07Yeah, my coach.
00:06:09What's wrong with him?
00:06:11He's a woman.
00:06:12That's why.
00:06:12Yeah, she was very strict on me.
00:06:15But, you know, you wear the track suits when you go to away games and everything.
00:06:18So I think she thought that the wrestling shirts just didn't look professional.
00:06:23So when we go out on the bus, I had, you know, my track suit on, had a wrestling shirt under it because it was just like my thing.
00:06:30And I felt like it was good luck.
00:06:31And I was just, you know, it was like, that's, that was me.
00:06:34I used to get in trouble for like drawing the Hardy Boys logo and stuff on my, on my papers.
00:06:39People, my teachers thought it was like gang symbols and stuff.
00:06:42It was just so bad.
00:06:43Like I got in trouble for a lot of that stuff.
00:06:44And it's funny now that I'm doing this because, you know, I talked to my, I still have friends with my coach.
00:06:49I was about to say, you should send her some shirts.
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:51Here's my, you want to wear this for one of your games?
00:07:01In this town, everybody's playing a character except me.
00:07:10I don't need to pretend I've been here before.
00:07:18I'm not the dealer.
00:07:22I'm not the mark.
00:07:27I'm the only one at this table who's the best in the world.
00:07:31I'm the only one at this table who's the best in the world.
00:07:36WrestleMania, Vegas, it's anyone's game.
00:07:43We are sold out tonight in San Antonio as Friday night's Smackdown and Saturday night's main event are coming to the Bell Center in Montreal on Friday, January 23rd, and Saturday, January 24th.
00:07:54Combo and individual event tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:08:01Kendall Gray, a huge congratulations to you.
00:08:08You just shocked the world becoming the Iron Survivor.
00:08:11What is going through your mind?
00:08:13Honestly, I'm feeling so many emotions right now.
00:08:16My adrenaline is so pumping.
00:08:17I mean, I wasn't supposed to win that match.
00:08:20I was the underdog, the dark horse.
00:08:22No one watching, no one in the arena thought that I could possibly win right now.
00:08:25So, congrats.
00:08:28You were the better woman tonight.
00:08:32But I will say if I was out there for my whole time and if my knee was 100%, I would be standing where you are right now.
00:08:39Kind of sounds like an excuse if you ask me.
00:08:42I'm sorry, Wendy.
00:08:43What was that?
00:08:43Well, I just meant Zarya practically speared Kendall out of her boots on Tuesday, and she went out there and lasted the whole 25 minutes to become the Iron Survivor.
00:08:51That's it.
00:08:52That's all I meant.
00:08:53Well, Zarya might not be here to defend her questionable behavior, but she's still my best friend.
00:08:59And one thing for sure is she fought for me, and I'm going to do the same for her.
00:09:03We're going to do this, bro.
00:09:12We're going to do this.
00:09:12We always do.
00:09:13We always do, baby.
00:09:14We found a way.
00:09:18Well, I did my part.
00:09:21Yeah, you ain't going to be the only one.
00:09:23Tonight, these four ain't safe.
00:09:25And at New Year's Evil, you ain't going to be either.
00:09:29Okay.
00:09:31We'll see.
00:09:32Yeah, we will.
00:09:33Good luck.
00:09:36Well, main event is still to come, but in moments, this is as personal as it gets.
00:09:41Izzy Dame shattered Tatum's heart, and now it's Paxley seeking revenge in moments here live at Deadline.
00:09:52Tatum, you need people in your corner who are going to prioritize you and elevate you.
00:09:57That would do anything for you, Izzy.
00:09:59J.C. Jane's rule will end at Halloween Havoc when I have my best friend holding me in the air and the NXT Women's Championship in my hands.
00:10:11That this creepy little weirdo can be NXT Women's Champion than anyone can be.
00:10:25Which is why I want to open up a fair door for every woman in that locker room.
00:10:31Um, Tatum, I say this with love.
00:10:34You have been chasing this title for a long time.
00:10:37Everyone else doesn't have Tatum's best interest at heart.
00:10:41Abandoned by people like Lyra, Sol, and Zarya.
00:10:44I have Izzy, the Culling.
00:10:47They've accepted me, and that's how I know this time it will be different.
00:10:51If it were up to me, you need to make people earn a shot at that title.
00:10:56No, Izzy.
00:10:57I'm going to do this, and it's going to be amazing!
00:11:01It's going to be Lullaby versus Tatum Paxley, your NXT Women's Champion!
00:11:06Did Izzy need to take a step back and support her friend, not question the decision of Tatum Paxley?
00:11:11If you don't start thinking before you act, you risk losing that title.
00:11:16Hey!
00:11:17Pale influence!
00:11:18What's the matter, Izzy?
00:11:20You don't have any faith in your best friend?
00:11:23Tatum, the right thing to do would be to give the former champion her rematch.
00:11:30She carries no weight right now.
00:11:32Of course she would say anything to get a rematch.
00:11:34I have to be smart about who I give an opportunity to, and I'm absolutely going to do that.
00:11:43Right after New York!
00:11:46J.C. James at Gold Rush, you get to rematch!
00:11:49Should Tatum have listened to her friends?
00:11:55Well, the referee's distracted, and Izzy right here.
00:11:58Well, Tatum wants to do this the right way.
00:12:04What the hell, Izzy?
00:12:09Why are you two dumbass?
00:12:11Oh, Tatum.
00:12:12Don't act like you didn't hear my warnings loud and clear.
00:12:16I told you not every voice in your head is worth listening to, but yet you still followed them.
00:12:22You said you were my friend!
00:12:23You're just like everybody else!
00:12:25Tatum only became the NXT Women's Champion because I allowed her to.
00:12:33At Deadline, it is Tatum and I, one-on-one.
00:12:38In San Antonio, I end the version of you that refused to evolve.
00:12:43Here I am, Izzy, in our family spot, but I'm alone.
00:12:51Why?
00:12:52We were great together, and you took the one thing that I wanted the most.
00:12:57If you're really that upset, Tatum, why don't you bring your ass out here and do something about it?
00:13:02Or are you too scared, Tatum?
00:13:06I'm scared because of Deadline.
00:13:09I'm going to have to make you feel all of my pain.
00:13:20Truth will ultimately prevail.
00:13:22But there's pain, bringing it to light.
00:13:46The following podcast is scheduled for one fall.
00:13:50Introducing first, the Culley, Izzy Day!
00:13:59Set for this matchup, sold out, as I mentioned, here live tonight in San Antonio.
00:14:12Deadline is brought to you in part by Jack Pocket.
00:14:15WWE fan, Jack Pocket is giving new customers who opt in a free lottery ticket.
00:14:19That's right, you get a free lottery ticket on Jack Pocket.
00:14:22Don't forget to use code SUPLEX.
00:14:26Izzy Day said tonight she will end the version of Tatum that refused to evolve.
00:14:32But shouldn't she be scared of her opponent, Booker?
00:14:34Shouldn't she be scared of her former partners and what this woman could do?
00:14:39This is a good word, concern.
00:14:40I would say you're a concerned victim, not scared.
00:14:44And her opponent, from Dallas, Texas,
00:14:56Tatum Paxley!
00:15:03You can see the fact that Tatum's crying right now.
00:15:17Her heart's broken.
00:15:18She doesn't know what to do.
00:15:19She's confused.
00:15:20And no part of you feels sad for this woman.
00:15:25No part of you feels bad for a woman who had her dream ripped from her from three individuals
00:15:30she thought was family.
00:15:32You don't feel sad for Tatum Paxley?
00:15:35Why should anyone feel sad for Tatum?
00:15:38Tatum learned a valuable, valuable lesson in this business.
00:15:41DTA!
00:15:42DTA!
00:15:43Don't touch me!
00:15:44Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute now.
00:15:45You see what I'm saying?
00:15:50Jeremy Marcus is going to have to get some control.
00:16:00Tatum Paxley is her first match post the culling.
00:16:04Hit home!
00:16:08Tatum knows Izzy so well, knew what was happening.
00:16:11And now you see almost the look on the body shaking of Tatum Paxley.
00:16:18Again, Izzy.
00:16:19No, no.
00:16:20Don't fall for it.
00:16:21Come on.
00:16:22Come on, Tatum.
00:16:24Come on, look, Booker.
00:16:26Come on.
00:16:27Oh, yeah.
00:16:41Izzy realizing Tatum's not going to be suckered in.
00:16:44She's realizing Tatum's not going to be gullible.
00:16:46Tatum came in with a plan to hurt and to cause pain to her former friend, Izzy Dane.
00:16:52Don't sleep on Izzy Dane.
00:16:54Like I said about it, press the butt.
00:16:56Press the damn butt because it's about to pop off.
00:16:59During your career, though, Booker, were you never betrayed in any way?
00:17:03You were never betrayed in any form like Tatum?
00:17:06No one ever stabbed you in the back?
00:17:07Put myself in a situation.
00:17:08Because you do that, you put yourself in a situation.
00:17:11Something can happen, Vic.
00:17:13That's the way I see that.
00:17:14This has been the first premium live event for NXT in San Antonio in nearly nine years.
00:17:21And there is the offense from Tatum Paxley.
00:17:23You didn't see it, but I looked up at Tatum.
00:17:26She almost shook her head and refocused.
00:17:30She almost shook her head and refocused.
00:18:00There it is.
00:18:06There it is.
00:18:08No, Booker.
00:18:08There it is.
00:18:09That sinister look on the face of Izzy Dane.
00:18:12And that's all it is.
00:18:13That's business, man.
00:18:14That's business.
00:18:16It's BS.
00:18:18That's what it is, Booker.
00:18:19Tatum Paxley is going to learn from this one night that she has her whole entire time.
00:18:24And this bitch, you think.
00:18:25Just a learning lesson.
00:18:26Tatum finally won a championship.
00:18:28Not just any championship.
00:18:29The NXT Women's Championship.
00:18:31Only to be stabbed in the back by her family.
00:18:34You've got to say she had a lot of help.
00:18:36She had a lot of help from the colleague.
00:18:37Getting that championship.
00:18:38Getting the opportunity to win that championship.
00:18:41You've got to give it to the colleague, right?
00:18:42I hear what you're saying, Booker.
00:18:45But I also look at Tatum Paxley.
00:18:46This is someone who's had her heart broken time and time again.
00:18:48You wonder who reached out to Tatum Paxley.
00:18:50What was her Thanksgiving like?
00:18:52How rough was the holidays?
00:18:54What about Lyra Valqueria?
00:18:55Who cares about that?
00:18:56What are you talking about?
00:18:57What do you mean who cares about that?
00:18:58That's why Tatum is the way she is.
00:19:00That's what happened.
00:19:00She's brokenhearted.
00:19:02She's gullible.
00:19:03That is not what Izzy Dane wanted to do.
00:19:04She got suffering.
00:19:05And can you not see that?
00:19:06Can you not see that the culling played Tatum Paxley?
00:19:09This Izzy Dane and the culling trying to tell Tatum Paxley, look, don't be giving out title shots to everybody.
00:19:16Would Tatum Paxley still be the champion if she would have just listened?
00:19:20Come on, Vic.
00:19:21You're not too far going to do that.
00:19:23This is a business, man.
00:19:24I don't know if she would still be the champion.
00:19:26I see what your point is, but that's part of a family talking.
00:19:29Let's say this.
00:19:29Let's say this.
00:19:30There's a high probability.
00:19:31She would still be champion if she would have just listened.
00:19:34Probably, yes.
00:19:36Can we agree, though, that everyone who is coming to the life of Tatum Paxley has turned on her,
00:19:43has stabbed her in the back?
00:19:44Who fought her dead?
00:19:46Who fought her dead?
00:19:46Come on, Vic.
00:19:47Sometimes you've got to blame the person who's getting turned on.
00:19:50I mean, if it happens, it happens.
00:19:52Wait a minute.
00:19:52Backbreaker.
00:19:53Cover.
00:19:54Count.
00:19:54And a kickout.
00:19:56Offense from Izzy Dane.
00:19:57And obviously, this right now, it's your cue to gloat after we see another look at this backbreaker.
00:20:02It's your cue to gloat, worker.
00:20:04There's no friends in this business.
00:20:05There's no pals.
00:20:06There's no buddies.
00:20:07But Jackson James, my thing is this.
00:20:0910 years from now, 20 years from now, these guys are going to be free.
00:20:11They can sit down for a couple teams.
00:20:13But right now, it's all about going out there and creating a legacy.
00:20:16And that's something that Tatum Paxley, she not just needs to know it.
00:20:21She needs to learn it.
00:20:22Let's talk about Izzy Dane for a moment.
00:20:25Let's talk about it.
00:20:26Let's talk about it.
00:20:27Trying to get Tatum to give up.
00:20:29That's not what Tatum's going to do.
00:20:30Is this the biggest match in Izzy's career?
00:20:33To this juncture.
00:20:35Premium live event spotlight.
00:20:36She's put all the pressure on herself.
00:20:38She's caused this issue with her opponent here tonight.
00:20:40Is this the biggest match?
00:20:42From a perspective.
00:20:43I mean, Izzy Dane has had some big moments.
00:20:44She has the championship title off.
00:20:46Shots as well.
00:20:47And right now, this is about, uh, this is about value much.
00:20:51This is about sure he's the best.
00:20:53Tatum Paxley right now holding on.
00:20:55Trying to wear down Izzy Dane.
00:20:56Izzy Dane floundering for a moment.
00:20:58Able to find her way, though, over to the corner.
00:21:01And I think we can also agree that when it comes to Izzy Dane, she is the one pulling the strings in the calling.
00:21:07Some could call her the mastermind of the calling.
00:21:10Not Nico Vance and Sean Spears, who are here at ringside.
00:21:12As another knee buckling the body of Tatum Paxley, Izzy Dane, again showcased that power.
00:21:19Hanging her former friend out to drive.
00:21:22Izzy Dane right now showing that in-ring acumen.
00:21:24She didn't just show up for this.
00:21:26She didn't show up thinking that she wasn't going to go out here and show Tatum Paxley exactly what the calling is all about.
00:21:34That right there.
00:21:35It's about business, man.
00:21:37You know, one starts to wonder where it went wrong for Tatum Paxley.
00:21:40You talk about not listening to him.
00:21:42I mean, it has to be just an emotional rollercoaster right now for Paxley.
00:21:46But I think some would say that all signs point to jealousy of Izzy Dane.
00:21:51Tatum Paxley, she has a lot of talent.
00:21:53Can you agree on that?
00:21:54Yeah.
00:21:54She has a lot of talent.
00:21:55Former champion.
00:21:55But can we also, she's a skull.
00:21:57Can you agree on that?
00:21:58I can agree with that as well, yes.
00:22:00Can you agree that she will let her go down in a heartbeat?
00:22:03Can you agree on that?
00:22:04That, those are, those are traits that you cannot have in this business, Vic.
00:22:08NXT Universe letting Izzy Dane know what, how they feel about her.
00:22:13And also, everything you talk about when it comes to Izzy's jealousy with the culling,
00:22:17that's nothing she can control as right now she's in control of the pain that's going through her body.
00:22:22And for Tatum Paxley, is she going to tap out or is she going to find her way, will her way, to a bottom rope?
00:22:29Will her way to breaking this hole?
00:22:31Sit back right now, Izzy just sit back on the lower lumbar.
00:22:35This thing is going to be over, man.
00:22:37Izzy Dane, though, seeing that bottom rope, she has crawled a long way to try to find some freedom,
00:22:44to try to break this hole in Izzy Dane.
00:22:47It just feels like a mile in that situation.
00:22:50And right now, we're going to put a little torque on it.
00:22:53Put a little torque on it, baby.
00:22:55Cinching it down real deep, and you can see the torque on the neck of Tatum Paxley.
00:23:01Give up! They're weak! Give up!
00:23:04Izzy screaming, give up.
00:23:05There is not a bone in the body of Tatum Paxley that is going to surrender.
00:23:11Tatum right now, she's got that six man.
00:23:14The ground right now is pulling for Tatum Paxley.
00:23:16It's a cradle! It's a cradle!
00:23:19Oof, almost able to pull this one out.
00:23:21Has the damage been done? That's what she was going to say, right?
00:23:24Yeah, Dame right back up, and I brought up jealousy earlier as you see the look in the eyes.
00:23:29Just evolve! Just evolve!
00:23:32Hit me!
00:23:34Do something!
00:23:34Do something!
00:23:41Talk about that jealousy.
00:23:44Her actions, her history.
00:23:45Tatum Paxley.
00:23:46She never held the title.
00:23:49Izzy Dame said that NXT women's title should have been hers, but she might be in for something a whole lot worse as finally maybe accepting change.
00:23:58Maybe finally accepting the ability to evolve.
00:24:03It's Tatum Paxley.
00:24:04And I can only imagine the demented thoughts that she's conjured up to hurt Izzy.
00:24:11And it seems like all that frustration, all that bad blood is pulling it out of the body of Tatum.
00:24:16Tatum's mounting the comeback right now.
00:24:18It's just a look in her eyes.
00:24:20It's a different look.
00:24:21It's a different look that we've seen all night.
00:24:23Oh, yes!
00:24:24This Texas native is fired up here, sold out in San Antonio, off the elbow cover, and a kickout.
00:24:31Tatum Paxley, though, maybe that's what she needed.
00:24:33Maybe that was the slap that woke her up.
00:24:36Right now, here's the Negro fans right there, got a little wearied after that shot.
00:24:41They're looking on.
00:24:41The rest of the culling is Tatum Paxley right now looking, measuring.
00:24:45Izzy Dame, and Izzy able to get back up and shut this down, at least in this moment.
00:24:50If you're still quick on her feet right now, setting up Tatum Paxley for something big.
00:24:55Could this be the coup d'etat?
00:24:58Here we go!
00:24:59Izzy Dame proclaims she would be correcting a mistake.
00:25:03That mistake is Tatum Paxley.
00:25:05Paxley, though, having none of it.
00:25:06Having to remember all those dark moments since Gold Rush.
00:25:09All those moments of being alone from the top.
00:25:14Didn't see that drop kick coming.
00:25:16Caught by Izzy.
00:25:18Dame right now.
00:25:18High-impact offense.
00:25:21Oh, come on, baby!
00:25:23Looking for the win, and Paxley continuing to fight.
00:25:26So close.
00:25:27So close with that little traitor.
00:25:30But not close enough.
00:25:31When I talk about correcting the mistake as the culling looks on,
00:25:34what mistake possibly could Izzy Dame be talking about?
00:25:37What mistake could she be trying to correct?
00:25:40Has she been able to counter with that drop?
00:25:42The mistake was letting it take a patch loop into Culling.
00:25:46I think that was the biggest mistake of all.
00:25:48Sold out at San Antonio.
00:25:55Rallying.
00:25:56Tatum Paxley.
00:25:57And it just sounds like, Booker, you just admire this little genius that Izzy Dame is.
00:26:01Because Izzy did lead Tatum to gold.
00:26:03I can sit here and admit that.
00:26:04She also let Sean Spears the championship glory.
00:26:07Why not give her props?
00:26:10I just gave her props, but you don't have to know about it because you get jealous.
00:26:13Why do you think it's more than it actually is?
00:26:16Oh, swing and a miss from Izzy.
00:26:17Izzy coming right back in, gets countered.
00:26:19Oh, man.
00:26:21Got all of it, too.
00:26:23Because there's more than meets the eye always with Izzy Dame.
00:26:26And right there into her face.
00:26:28Oh, my God.
00:26:29Nasty landing by Tatum.
00:26:32But the same can be said for Izzy Dame.
00:26:36Using our announce desk as a springboard.
00:26:41Nasty, Nasty, Nasty, come on.
00:26:43Whoa, man.
00:26:44There's been a question.
00:26:45Does Tatum have that killer instinct?
00:26:48Well, you're seeing it if she does.
00:26:51Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:26:53This is what she thought of.
00:26:55Remember what she did to you, Tatum.
00:26:57This is what she's been thinking about, Booker.
00:26:59She's not going to do that.
00:27:01She's not going to go there.
00:27:04She said she was worried about what she would do.
00:27:09Ah, man.
00:27:10Oh, a shot.
00:27:12Oh, we're going up top, man.
00:27:21Referee using a little discretion right here.
00:27:24Pleading his case.
00:27:26As is Izzy.
00:27:27She didn't just.
00:27:44She did it, Book.
00:27:45And she didn't wait.
00:27:48She suckered in Izzy.
00:27:50Just like Izzy suckered her in.
00:27:52It's whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
00:27:54What the hell?
00:28:06Again, Spears and Nico Vance
00:28:09using Tatum's emotions against her.
00:28:12We know the infatuation with the Dolls.
00:28:18We know the infatuation with the Dolls.
00:28:34Tatum sticking up for herself.
00:28:36Back into the ring.
00:28:37Oh, God.
00:28:38Who'd have dame?
00:28:40And it's dame over.
00:28:42One, two, three, that's it.
00:28:48There is your winner.
00:28:51Izzy.
00:28:52Dame.
00:28:53And for Izzy, that may be the biggest win in her career.
00:29:00Premium live event stage.
00:29:02Oh, yeah.
00:29:03Under the bright lights.
00:29:05Sold out in San Antonio.
00:29:07She puts down her former partner and her former friend.
00:29:15That would be the turning point.
00:29:18Tatum Patsley finally putting all those emotions of her past behind her.
00:29:23Getting Izzy back into the ring.
00:29:25But it would be Sean Spears using more manipulation.
00:29:29Which the Culling does so well.
00:29:31Getting right into the face.
00:29:33But it was Sean Spears who added one extra message.
00:29:38To the heart and the soul of Tatum Patsley.
00:29:43Patsley would have had enough.
00:29:44But the door would open for bam!
00:29:47Izzy dame.
00:29:49To put an end to Tatum's night.
00:29:52Here in Texas.
00:29:56And all that's left now, Booker.
00:29:59Is for Tatum Patsley to pick up the pieces of a broken heart.
00:30:03It's an evil world that we live in here at NXT.
00:30:08And it is what it is.
00:30:13I couldn't get it done.
00:30:27I couldn't beat it over.
00:30:28Ricky.
00:30:29You good, man.
00:30:32You've been championing before and you're going to be championing again.
00:30:34Now me, I'm going to go win Iron Survivor.
00:30:37But think positively, bro.
00:30:38You're going to win the championship back, alright?
00:30:41For real.
00:30:42I disagree.
00:30:43It ain't happening.
00:30:44Disagree?
00:30:44No, no, no, no, no.
00:30:46Look, bro.
00:30:46You are the absolute Ricky Saints.
00:30:49Title or no title, that's never going to change.
00:30:52You don't understand.
00:30:53I couldn't beat Obafemi.
00:30:55Obafemi is the NXT champion.
00:30:57The impossible is back.
00:30:58That's it.
00:30:59That's it.
00:31:00Yeah, and that's why when I win Iron Survivor tonight, I'm not waiting until New York's
00:31:05Evil.
00:31:07I'm going to win that.
00:31:08Promise.
00:31:09I hope you do.
00:31:14Got you.
00:31:26In Vegas, everything's a game.
00:31:32Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
00:31:37Just attention.
00:31:39Every move measured.
00:31:42Every look.
00:31:43A strategy sharpened.
00:31:47Always watching your back.
00:31:54Prepared for anything.
00:32:01Never knowing who the real threat is.
00:32:09Or who might show up at the table.
00:32:23WrestleMania Vegas.
00:32:29It's anyone's game.
00:32:30Dion Lennox, congratulations as you've been selected as one of the participants in the
00:32:43upcoming Iron Survivor Challenge by the greatest of all time, John Cena.
00:32:48Dion, ultimately, what does that accolade mean to you?
00:32:51Just like him.
00:32:52I had to develop myself.
00:32:54When I first got here, I pushed around.
00:32:57Made fun of me.
00:32:58People thought I was a joke.
00:33:00Thought I was just going to be some other athlete that came in here and went through the motions.
00:33:03But they don't know me.
00:33:05So I had to go find three other guys just like me.
00:33:07I was in the public eye.
00:33:09He was behind closed doors.
00:33:11That's why Dark State came together.
00:33:13Four guys with one same goal.
00:33:14Leave no doubt.
00:33:16The fact that John Cena sees me as a dominant force means that we doing something right.
00:33:21And that's cool.
00:33:23That's really cool.
00:33:23But I ain't come here to be nobody else.
00:33:27I came here to be Dion Lennox.
00:33:30Well, Dion very much understood.
00:33:32And this past Tuesday on NXT, you actually relinquished one half of your NXT Tag Team Championships
00:33:37to fellow Dark State member Saquon Sugars.
00:33:39What went into that decision?
00:33:41Man, I want Dark State to control all of NXT.
00:33:43Not just the tag division.
00:33:45It wouldn't be fair to y'all if I wasn't all in on these tag titles.
00:33:49So I feel like I gotta get this to one of y'all.
00:33:52Take it.
00:33:53Hold it down.
00:33:55We want tag team gold already, so why not bring some singles gold into the family?
00:33:59And it wouldn't be fair to me or my brothers if I divided my attention.
00:34:02But we do things differently in Dark State.
00:34:04When one eats, we all eat, dawg.
00:34:07My success is Saquon's success.
00:34:09Kwon's success is Cuddy's success.
00:34:10Cuddy's success is O's success.
00:34:12You feel me, dawg?
00:34:13Man, I trust Kwon and Big O to hold it down while I handle business.
00:34:16And I'll prove John Cena right on Saturday by winning the Iron Survivor.
00:34:19And I'm gonna show everybody that my time is now.
00:34:22Well, Deon, as we see right here and we've seen over the last few weeks, a noticeable difference in your demeanor from what we've become accustomed to here in NXT.
00:34:29What's with this shift?
00:34:31Man, I use that anger, that rage of being overlooked just to get to this damn spot.
00:34:36But don't get it twisted.
00:34:37It's still there.
00:34:39Something I carry with me every day.
00:34:42Push me hard enough and you're gonna find out.
00:34:43But now I'm getting what I deserve.
00:34:48And it's exactly what I've been grinding for this whole time.
00:34:51Recognition.
00:34:53Opportunities.
00:34:55Gold.
00:34:56I'm right where I need to be.
00:34:57And after Saturday, I'm one match away from being NXT champion.
00:35:01Can't be mad if it's all on my shoulders.
00:35:04I don't get it done.
00:35:06Blames on me.
00:35:07I do get it done.
00:35:09I ain't got no one to thank but myself.
00:35:11Well, Deon, this past Tuesday, we saw a pretty full circle interaction between you and Oba Femi.
00:35:17Now, if you're able to get by the competition, win the Iron Survivor Challenge this weekend.
00:35:22Is Oba who you want to see as NXT champion?
00:35:27Look, I've been waiting a long time to say what I said to Oba on Tuesday.
00:35:31That I'm here now and I'm coming for him.
00:35:34Look, a lot of people are gonna say that they don't care who the champ is.
00:35:37They're gonna be ready for him.
00:35:39Screw all that.
00:35:40I'm gonna keep it a buck with you.
00:35:42I want Oba to win.
00:35:45Because nothing will be more satisfying than taking the title from the guy who started all this.
00:35:50Who showed me that I had to carve my own path that no one will give me.
00:35:53And if he's standing across from me at New Year's Evil,
00:35:56then he gonna find out real quick that when Deon Lennox strikes, ain't a damn thing safe.
00:36:04We are live in the Alamo City, San Antonio, Texas.
00:36:20Tonight, AJ Styles defends his WWE Championship against John Cena.
00:36:25AJ and John, anytime they got in the ring together, it was magic.
00:36:28That night was no different.
00:36:32John Cena sees a 16th WWE Championship reign in his future.
00:36:37Oh, there was excitement.
00:36:38You know, it was, can't seem to do it.
00:36:40Historic number of championships.
00:36:42Two of the most decorated champions in sports entertainment history.
00:36:47John is the definition of WWE.
00:36:49Being in the ring with John has been such a privilege.
00:36:55John Cena doesn't use hard work as a slogan.
00:36:59It's a lifestyle.
00:37:00The message said loud and clear.
00:37:04Sweet 16 for John Cena.
00:37:08If it wasn't for John Cena, I don't know exactly where AJ Styles would be right now in the WWE.
00:37:14WWE.
00:37:14WWE.
00:37:19You can watch John Cena's last match and all the excitement of Saturday night's main event.
00:37:25Next Saturday, December 13th, 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific.
00:37:30Streaming on Peacock in the U.S. and on YouTube internationally.
00:37:33Coverage begins 6 Eastern, 3 Pacific on YouTube.
00:37:379 out of 10 dentists recommend brushing daily.
00:37:47All right.
00:37:48Shiloh Hill here with my final download.
00:37:50And I'm thrilled about that because I'm getting antsy.
00:37:54I know I already made an entry about how I played high school and college football.
00:37:57And I don't want to make a duplicate entry.
00:37:58But I do want to talk about how I got started playing because it's kind of interesting.
00:38:02So, one day I'm sitting outside at school watching these squirrels kind of talk back and forth.
00:38:07And I started thinking to myself, how tough would it be if I could communicate with them?
00:38:13I just, I couldn't get the chirp right though.
00:38:15So, I started chasing them instead.
00:38:16Now, there was this one that was super cute.
00:38:19And I wound up chasing it into this field.
00:38:20And I could tell it was getting tired.
00:38:21So, I hopped it down and I dove and I grabbed its tail.
00:38:25Now, right when I did that, I hear this voice say, hey, son.
00:38:27And I turn and look and the squirrel bites my hand and it runs away.
00:38:31Now, I look over and it's the high school football coach.
00:38:34And he's like, well, son, you got a lot of speed and determination.
00:38:36You ever think about playing football?
00:38:38I'm like, coach, now is not the time.
00:38:40I just lost my new pet.
00:38:42And then he disappeared forever.
00:38:45Not, not my high school football coach, the squirrel.
00:38:48Oh, speaking of getting bit, I do have a tooth in my head.
00:38:53How, you might ask?
00:38:54Well, allow me to explain, princess.
00:38:56So, nine years old, my first ever fight.
00:38:59I'm on the playground.
00:39:00I hear this dude talking crap to my little sister.
00:39:02And I run over and we just start throwing hands immediately.
00:39:06Now, this is a big kid.
00:39:07I think he got held back a couple years.
00:39:08He grabs both of my hands and he just starts laughing.
00:39:12But then I started laughing.
00:39:13Now, we're both laughing.
00:39:14And then, boom, I headbutted him.
00:39:17Now, he drops to the ground.
00:39:18I think my sister's going to be thrilled.
00:39:19But she's like, Shiloh, why'd you do that?
00:39:22We were just playing a game.
00:39:23I'm like, well, darkness, I wish you would have told me that before I headbutted his ass.
00:39:27When I did that, I felt something in my head.
00:39:29This dude's left canine is lodged in my skull.
00:39:33It's actually still there today.
00:39:35Anyways, I've got a ton of stories.
00:39:37I don't want to give you too much information.
00:39:38I think we're at a pretty good point to see what this thing cranks out.
00:39:44Shiloh, we appreciate the initial insight into your life.
00:39:48Processing, processing, processing.
00:39:56Time for everyone to wake up.
00:40:01Do not sleep on Shiloh Hill.
00:40:04Based on the information provided, it's determined you are ready for your first match this Tuesday on NXT.
00:40:12Good luck.
00:40:13Well, my curiosity is peaking, and it's happening on Tuesday.
00:40:20The NXT in-ring debut of LFG Season 2 winner Shiloh Hill.
00:40:25What are we going to witness live Tuesday on NXT?
00:40:30After the events of tonight, the turmoil of the last few months, Kalani Jordan will face Jordan Grace.
00:40:37This from the desk of our general manager, Ava.
00:40:40They go one-on-one on Tuesday's NXT.
00:40:46And who will answer the open challenge?
00:40:50Who will try to dethrone the champion?
00:40:52Tuesday, we find out who accepts Blake Monroe's glamorous invitation for the women's North American title.
00:40:59It all goes down live this Tuesday on NXT.
00:41:02Well, that will be in Orlando, Florida.
00:41:06We are live, sold out in San Antonio.
00:41:09The backdrop to tonight's deadline.
00:41:11And what a night it has been for the final WWE Premium Live event of the year.
00:41:19But we're not done yet.
00:41:22Because right now, it's time for our main event.
00:41:26A new champion was crowned to start tonight.
00:41:29Who will challenge Obafemi at New Year's Evil?
00:41:32Who will be the Iron Survivor?
00:41:34Who will beat the Deadline?
00:41:41Tonight, at Deadline, NXT will once again present a truly revolutionary match.
00:41:49The Iron Survivor Challenge.
00:41:51There will be two Iron Survivor Challenges.
00:41:54One for the men and one for the women.
00:41:56Five superstars will compete in this unique 25-minute match.
00:42:13They will battle each other.
00:42:15And the clock.
00:42:16Two superstars will start the match.
00:42:22Then every five minutes, another superstar will join the match.
00:42:25Until all five are in the ring.
00:42:28The goal of the match is to have the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes.
00:42:33Falls can be won at any time via pinfall or submission.
00:42:37When a superstar wins a fall, they'll earn a point.
00:42:41However, when a superstar loses a fall, they must pay the penalty.
00:42:45They're forced out of the ring and into the penalty box for 90 seconds.
00:42:50Once 90 seconds are up, the superstar can re-enter the match.
00:42:53The superstar who scored the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes will be named the Iron Survivor.
00:43:14And will become the number one contender for the NXT Championship.
00:43:18Who will be the next Iron Survivor?
00:43:35The following contest is the men's Iron Survivor Challenge!
00:43:42The superstar who scores by most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes will be declared the winner
00:43:51and the number one contender for the NXT Championship!
00:43:57The NXT Championship!
00:43:58The NXT Championship!
00:44:27He is the TNA Ex-Division Champion, Leon Slater!
00:44:43How big could tonight be for Slater and TNA if he's the one to become the Iron Survivor?
00:44:51Hell of a dollar, TNA's Ex-Division Champion, somewhat having that cult of invincibility.
00:44:59These young guys, these young guys, you better start respecting these guys, man.
00:45:05They're the future.
00:45:07It was Obafemi who won last year.
00:45:09He would then win the title for the first time at New Year's Evil.
00:45:12He won the title for the second time to kick off the night, and now he awaits the winner.
00:45:17What a difference a year makes here in NXT.
00:45:24Who drew number two?
00:45:26What an opportunity.
00:45:33Yo, boy, it's out of here!
00:45:37Yeah!
00:45:46Yes!
00:45:53Next, country's Wilma, Carolina, weight in at 195 pounds, Siobhan Evans!
00:46:02Well, what a way for this to kick off here tonight.
00:46:05The young OG, Siobhan Evans!
00:46:09And Booker, remember, it was Siobhan last year who ran out of time in the end.
00:46:15He's going to have the most time out of anyone except for Leon Slater to make the most use of 25 minutes.
00:46:22Oh, what a way!
00:46:24I couldn't have picked two better people to kick this off!
00:46:27I'm talking about a mega-talented young man.
00:46:29This kid right here is a major superstar already, and he's been so pumped.
00:46:35Oh, I'm talking about on the precipice of breaking through.
00:46:39Could this be this young man's knife?
00:46:41W-O-D, let's go!
00:46:43Let's go, son!
00:46:45Who wanted it?
00:46:47Who wanted it?
00:46:48Who wanted it?
00:46:48Who wanted it?
00:46:49Who wanted it?
00:46:50Who wanted it?
00:46:51Who wanted it?
00:46:52Who wanted it?
00:46:53Well, Slater and Evans had a classic competing for the NXT title at Bound for Glory, the only time they've met one-on-one.
00:47:05And we better buckle up, get ready.
00:47:09Because how can these two set the pace, Booker?
00:47:12I know we always talk about the spirit of competition, but truly, how can they set the pace?
00:47:16Oh, looking for that springboard right around the gate!
00:47:18Right there, it's all about going out here and getting some numbers on the board with these two young men right here.
00:47:24That's how can they set the pace, Vic?
00:47:26Well, it didn't help Sol Rukor or Kalani Jordan earlier, but the young OG is the only one in this match with experience in the Iron Survivor Challenge matchup.
00:47:36You know, we get a little bit deeper, and we talk about maybe Leon Slater.
00:47:40We talked about it in the first match in terms of conditioning.
00:47:43What worries you about the styles these two men have that's going to allow them to hold up for 25 minutes under these conditions?
00:47:51I wouldn't worry if these guys are going to go out there and throw all caution to the wind.
00:47:55So that means, in our world, they might just blow up somewhere midway through this thing.
00:48:00I'm thinking about a guy like, you know, I don't want to mention him right here, but he'll be out here.
00:48:03A guy who has so much experience overall, that's the guy who can actually log out with this thing.
00:48:11We know these two are starting one and two.
00:48:13We do know that number three is not by the luck of the draw.
00:48:16It's by picking up a victory this past Tuesday at NXT.
00:48:19It's Miles Bourne, who select the third slot to enter, and now some counters, some tit for tat.
00:48:24Put it down. Put it down. Put it down. Put it down.
00:48:28Okay, stay tall. Stay tall. Stay tall.
00:48:31Okay.
00:48:33That's what we talked about, the spirit of competition.
00:48:37Javon, though, taking...
00:48:38Oh! Oh, Javon paid the price for trying to take advantage of a situation.
00:48:42You've got a camaraderie, but you cannot think about that in a matchup like this.
00:48:46Especially someone like Javon Evans, who really needs this.
00:48:49Goes back to Leon Slater.
00:48:50Slater could not be 100% defended his title last night at El Paso on TNA.
00:48:56He flew in this morning. He makes a cover now.
00:48:58Kick out. He suffered a beatdown on Thursday.
00:49:00He's had international travel just to go home.
00:49:03I mean, that's certainly going to test the man.
00:49:05We're certainly going to find out a lot about the man that is the youngest in charge.
00:49:09Javon Slater, this kid is young, man.
00:49:11And one thing I always say, time off is your worst enemy.
00:49:14You're always going to come in a match, not 100%.
00:49:17But if you're not injured, if you just hurt, it's time to go.
00:49:21Let's go, son!
00:49:22Just like that right hand right there from the jungle.
00:49:23TNA in some ways would love to get one back after last night's final resolution
00:49:29as there's a new international champion, that being Channing Stacks Lorenzo.
00:49:34Can you say it again?
00:49:36Can you say it again?
00:49:36No, because I'm worried about this match.
00:49:38Channing Stacks Lorenzo.
00:49:40And so Miles Borne will enter the matchup.
00:49:42Javon, seen that movie before, didn't like the ending, trying to do a rewrite, going up, going down,
00:49:47trying to turn him around, and he certainly did.
00:49:48Erich Verrana, back up with a dropkick, right on the butters, right under the jaw,
00:49:52crawling into the cover for a decision.
00:49:54Love the spirit of competition between these two young men.
00:49:58These guys know exactly what's on the table right here.
00:50:01Here we go, here we go.
00:50:02Take a look at some of the action.
00:50:03And look, I want to ask...
00:50:04Take it out.
00:50:05Unreal.
00:50:06How are these two shaping the future of our industry?
00:50:09Now, you look at these guys, and I only wish or imagine I was in this position as a young man.
00:50:16I mean, these guys right now, and the springboard that they have that I didn't have,
00:50:20but the talent that these guys have as well is off the charts.
00:50:24I wonder if these guys are playing a little bit of a chess game.
00:50:28Obviously, they watched what happened earlier in the women's iron survivor matchup.
00:50:32They know they don't want to go 100 right out the gate.
00:50:35They got a lot of time in this ring.
00:50:36They're going to have the most time of anyone.
00:50:38They try to earn some decisions.
00:50:40They also have the most time to do damage to themselves,
00:50:43as we're just over 60 seconds away from Miles Bourne entering this matchup at number three.
00:50:50Oh, my.
00:50:53Reaching back.
00:50:55Tapping El Paso for a moment was Javon Evans, who got caught, who got rolled through.
00:50:59Shifting weight.
00:51:00Another counter.
00:51:01And these two know each other so well.
00:51:03Is it enough?
00:51:04And another kick out.
00:51:05I think these two young men are getting caught up right now,
00:51:08trying to one-up each other.
00:51:10Trying to actually win this thing.
00:51:11Oh, yeah.
00:51:12Here we go.
00:51:13And another near fall.
00:51:14This time, almost a decision secure.
00:51:16What I'm talking about.
00:51:17This is exactly what I'm talking about.
00:51:18Try to get the pinfall.
00:51:19Try to get a pinfall, young man.
00:51:21Don't hesitate.
00:51:22Wasn't that patented cutter instead?
00:51:24Oh.
00:51:25Trying to get bouncy.
00:51:26Got shut down.
00:51:28I thought Slater should have went for a cover right there, Vic.
00:51:30Under 30 seconds left until number three's coming in.
00:51:32Slater got caught.
00:51:35Up, over.
00:51:36Shoulders down.
00:51:37And yes.
00:51:38Come on.
00:51:38He's throwing a point.
00:51:40Evans with the decision.
00:51:41And you go back to last year.
00:51:43Now he's got 10 seconds to get ready.
00:51:45He fell short.
00:51:46He came up short in the end.
00:51:48He's in the driver's seat now.
00:51:50Five, four, three, two, one.
00:51:56And look, I've got to get your instant thoughts on this man selecting three.
00:52:06He didn't select five.
00:52:08He didn't select one.
00:52:08What do you make of his decision rationally that he knows he can come in at one and get
00:52:13the most time?
00:52:14He knows he can come in at the end and maybe clean up, but he thinks three's the sweet spot.
00:52:18It tells me he's deaf, but he's definitely not done with it.
00:52:22He's thinking about strategizing his way through this thing.
00:52:26Coming out number three gives him a tactical advantage in a matchup like this.
00:52:31That's my take on it.
00:52:32You're looking inside the penalty box.
00:52:3440 seconds left for Leon Slater.
00:52:36It was Miles Bourne who could have chosen any spot after winning this past Tuesday.
00:52:40Just got caught under the jaw with a super kick.
00:52:42And it's Siobhan Evans who's leading the charge right now as he jumps right in.
00:52:46Counter, though, for a second by Miles Bourne.
00:52:49And, ooh, high angle slam looking for a decision into the cover.
00:52:53Didn't get the three of the runner.
00:52:5520 seconds for Leon Slater.
00:52:57And we got four minutes and counting, less than that, until the fourth member of this
00:53:01matchup will enter in.
00:53:05And I would say that for Miles Bourne, he's got the most momentum coming into the field,
00:53:11does he not?
00:53:11The win on Tuesday.
00:53:12There's a lot of momentum.
00:53:13The trick Williams in New York.
00:53:14There's a lot of momentum.
00:53:14As well as, he's leaning on his wrestling and that might be what takes him to the mountaintop.
00:53:20Oh, yes!
00:53:20Leon Slater.
00:53:21Because that young man.
00:53:22Right on his back.
00:53:23Not able to get a decision is Bourne on the outside.
00:53:26And, of course, it was everyone in this matchup qualifying courtesy of one man.
00:53:31That man being John Cena.
00:53:33John Cena.
00:53:34The coat.
00:53:35The coat John Cena.
00:53:36I used to love working John's at Best of Five.
00:53:39Go back and check it out.
00:53:40One of the greatest series of all time.
00:53:41I remember watching it when it was live going on, Booker.
00:53:44Who won that Best of Five series?
00:53:46They got one there.
00:53:47Inside cradles.
00:53:48I think he won it.
00:53:49Shoulders down.
00:53:49I don't know who won it.
00:53:50I'm sure the internet's going to fact check yet.
00:53:52Open and open.
00:53:52Oh, there it goes.
00:53:53Oh, still connected.
00:53:55They're still there.
00:53:56They're still standing.
00:53:58But a man who was born to fly.
00:54:01Miles coming right in.
00:54:03And now Miles can clean up.
00:54:05He's got just under three minutes until the next superstar will enter into this matchup.
00:54:10I was Bourne just landed a big shot.
00:54:11Cover, cover, cover, cover, cover, cover for a decision.
00:54:13Almost got on the board right there.
00:54:16Certainly did.
00:54:17And Bourne going right to the outside now for Leon Slater.
00:54:19Should he just have stayed on top of Javon Evans instead of putting another man's body into the ring?
00:54:24Look at the cover.
00:54:25And I got so much more to deal with in the middle of that square circle.
00:54:28I think that was a mistake, Victor.
00:54:29No time at all.
00:54:31But right now, take a look with the hang time for Miles Bourne.
00:54:36Fired up.
00:54:38And are some overlooking Bourne in what he brings to this match?
00:54:42I think so.
00:54:43I think Miles Bourne has so much to prove in a matchup like this to get a win in this type of matchup for Miles Bourne.
00:54:49I mean, he leaned heavily on the NKCC having that coaching in his ear.
00:54:54Now, he doesn't have that.
00:54:55He's out here all by himself.
00:54:56Can he do it under the bright lights?
00:54:58That's the question.
00:54:59Well, he was able to get a win in those bright lights.
00:55:02He was able to do it in the bright lights of New York City, as I mentioned, defeating Trick Williams.
00:55:06He was able to do it under the bright lights of the main event spotlight Tuesday and earning the opportunity to pick number three.
00:55:12And he just waylaid and may have knocked out Javon Evans with a right to even up.
00:55:17And almost had a taste of the lead.
00:55:19I'm not saying he can't do it, but I'm really leaning on Miles Bourne having something to prove in this matchup.
00:55:25And he's got that look in his eye.
00:55:27I want to see if he can do it.
00:55:28Look at that Leon Slater right now.
00:55:29Oh, yes!
00:55:30That's what I'm talking about right there.
00:55:32Miles Bourne into another cover.
00:55:35Smart strategy because with just under nine minutes into this matchup, only one decision.
00:55:40That's to the young OG.
00:55:41Javon Evans, who just struck right back, is leading the charge in this matchup.
00:55:46Right to the throat region right there of Miles Bourne.
00:55:49Miles Bourne went down hard.
00:55:51And does the year he's had, and of course that being Javon Evans, help him more than we think broken jaw?
00:55:57Main event is stand and deliver.
00:55:58Issues with Trick Williams competing at Triple-A.
00:56:01Does that help him here tonight?
00:56:02I can tell you this.
00:56:03This type of matchup, this matchup right here can make or break someone like Javon Evans.
00:56:08Because like I say, he's been so close on the precipice of actually becoming champion.
00:56:13This night right here could definitely solidify everything for this young man.
00:56:17Look, Miles Bourne is also challenged for the title.
00:56:20He challenged the current champion, Obafemi.
00:56:22One man who has not had an opportunity to face the champion is in control.
00:56:27That is Leon Slater.
00:56:28Slater, though, just got caught by Javon.
00:56:31And oh, look at that.
00:56:32How many times have you ever seen someone hit a suplex and then nip up?
00:56:36Looked at the clock.
00:56:38Realizes less than 20.
00:56:39All he needs is three to get two.
00:56:41And he couldn't get that as we get a kick out.
00:56:42But we've got now just over 10 seconds until the fourth man enters.
00:56:46Five, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:57:00Oh, Book.
00:57:03He said he would do it on his own.
00:57:08That is what he told the rest of his crew.
00:57:10So how will Deion Lennox fare with no Dark State?
00:57:16This dude right here, he's proving he's a natural-born leader.
00:57:20Just by passing that tag team championship off to come out here and win Seagull's gold for Dark State.
00:57:27I love it, man.
00:57:28And he's certainly someone who's had sugars in the back watching this match, exploiting everybody's weaknesses.
00:57:35He had his old partner as a nice Northern Lights suplex with a bridge.
00:57:40Couldn't get the three.
00:57:41They've been watching this.
00:57:42They've seen all the weaknesses of these three men.
00:57:44Deion Lennox is coming here with a game plan to right now seek, destroy, and conquer.
00:57:49Deion Lennox was a kid who had just walked all over in the beginning of his career here at NXT.
00:57:54But now he's here to show that Deion Lennox is a game-changer, man.
00:57:58He's the player in this business.
00:58:00And tonight, tonight, he's got a chance to prove it to everyone.
00:58:03It's the only one decision thus far.
00:58:06We're just over 11 minutes off the clock.
00:58:08There's only one man to come into this matchup when this clock hits 15, and we all know who it is.
00:58:15I will not say his name until it's time for him to appear as Javon Evans.
00:58:19Ducking, dodging, connecting.
00:58:21Coming in with the rights.
00:58:22Coming in with the left.
00:58:23Going to the body.
00:58:24Climbing the mountain.
00:58:25Hitting the jaw.
00:58:25Looking for that knockout blow on Deion Lennox.
00:58:27That's what I like about this young man right here.
00:58:29He don't mind.
00:58:30He don't mind throwing a hit.
00:58:32And now there comes Leon Slater.
00:58:34And, of course, no one in this matchup hasn't had an issue with Dark State.
00:58:37No one likes Dark State.
00:58:38I get it.
00:58:38I get it.
00:58:41It was a great strategy.
00:58:43He gets the man down.
00:58:44And the two men who started this are in control of this.
00:58:47A lot of people loving it, too, man.
00:58:50Deion Lennox, who talked a big game this past Tuesday, face-to-face with Obafemi earlier,
00:58:55and again talked a big game.
00:58:56I don't think it was talking about a big game or anything like that.
00:58:59I think Deion Lennox actually believed that he can actually go out here and change the whole thing as far as NXT.
00:59:06He go, win a championship for the team.
00:59:08For the greater good of the team.
00:59:10You've got to love it, man.
00:59:11Talks about the greater good of the team.
00:59:13Yes.
00:59:13Everybody in Dark State eats.
00:59:15Everyone's successful.
00:59:17And Miles Bourne right now for a moment.
00:59:20Hey, wait a minute.
00:59:21This is for Dark State.
00:59:23That's how they've won tag team titles.
00:59:25That doomsday device.
00:59:26It's how they beat the Hardys.
00:59:28Looking for a decision.
00:59:30And Deion's on the board.
00:59:31Deion Lennox has scored a point.
00:59:34What a powerful driver there by Deion Lennox.
00:59:39Take another look.
00:59:41That was step one.
00:59:42And while the bodies hit,
00:59:43earns a decision.
00:59:47And at this juncture, how dangerous is Lennox coming in at this matchup at four?
00:59:53Lennox just knocked all the wind out of the young OG to get a point.
00:59:58Now he's on the board and he looks like he's in total control.
01:00:00Oh, yes, man.
01:00:02Oh, yes.
01:00:03The young OG is sitting in that penalty box for less than 60 seconds.
01:00:09But that may be enough time for Deion Lennox to earn a second decision.
01:00:14And if he does, Deion will be right out in front.
01:00:17And if you're Obafemi, you're watching this right now.
01:00:19Who should you be worried about?
01:00:21Who should our NXT champion be questioning?
01:00:24I'm thinking, if it was me, I'm thinking, oh, baby.
01:00:27I was thinking, Deion, but you got to be thinking about Stater.
01:00:31Oh, wait a minute.
01:00:32You might want to think about Miles Bourne.
01:00:34Hold on a second.
01:00:36Trying to get on the board for the first time as Miles Bourne could not do it.
01:00:40Oba so much on his plate, not just tonight,
01:00:41but he's also thinking about one week from tonight.
01:00:44Nation's capital.
01:00:45He'll be competing against the WWE champion, Cody Rhodes.
01:00:48You called it an opportunity of a lifetime.
01:00:51It truly is an opportunity of a lifetime for Obafemi to go out there
01:00:54with the middle of the ring with Cody Rhodes, world champion.
01:00:57It lets you know that I'm so close to actually being in that position myself.
01:01:02Here we go.
01:01:03Check this young man out right here.
01:01:05Well, the door is open.
01:01:07Javon Evans is back into this matchup and quickly making his presence felt.
01:01:11And now, looking to spring.
01:01:13Bourne.
01:01:14Got all of it.
01:01:15Miles.
01:01:15Miles right now is down.
01:01:16Javon is flying.
01:01:17He's taking out Leon Slater.
01:01:19We got 30 seconds until the next man's coming in.
01:01:21Javon's looking to hit another big, high-impactful move.
01:01:24Looking to gain the second decision.
01:01:26Looking to retake the lead.
01:01:27He's bouncy.
01:01:28He's froggy.
01:01:29And he couldn't get the decision.
01:01:31Tells me a lot right there about Miles Bourne right there.
01:01:34Kicking out of that big shot right there.
01:01:36He's not going to lay down tonight.
01:01:38It could be his night.
01:01:39And again, we saw this earlier.
01:01:41Those that go into the penalty box and being able to come out.
01:01:43I mean, how would you reset in the penalty box?
01:01:46Would it not refocus you?
01:01:47I mean, Javon Evans had all the wind knocked out of him before he went to coming back, so he definitely was an advantage for him.
01:01:53I mean, Javon Evans, I believe in Joe Hendry.
01:02:05I believe in Joe Hendry.
01:02:09Well, there's no smile.
01:02:14There's a look at a termination in this man's eyes as Joe Hendry is the fifth and final superstar to enter.
01:02:21We got less than 10 minutes.
01:02:22I believe in Joe Hendry.
01:02:28Sold out in San Antonio, singing along.
01:02:30Imagine the song.
01:02:31Imagine the tune.
01:02:33Imagine the concert if Joe Hendry wins.
01:02:36The only guy in the ring that can say he's won a world title, and that's Joe Hendry, man.
01:02:42Look at the power.
01:02:46San Antonio believes, and he's making believers out of everyone.
01:02:52And you just hit it right on the head, Booker.
01:03:02His experience could be the biggest factor in this match.
01:03:06You talk about a guy like Joe Hendry, the guy that had so much momentum over the years,
01:03:11and now he's in the best place he's ever been.
01:03:14If you can get him a match like this under his belt,
01:03:17it's definitely going to say big things for Joe Hendry for him in the 26th.
01:03:21He was looking for the standing ovation on Leon Slater.
01:03:23Of course, a good relationship with Leon, but there are no friends tonight,
01:03:28and Dion Lennox is proving just that.
01:03:30And it was Hendry who battled with Dion this past Tuesday, right out of the main event match.
01:03:34There's a lot of history with Joe Hendry and Dark State, but you're right, Booker.
01:03:39He's a former world champion.
01:03:40He's a world traveler.
01:03:41He crossed the line at WrestleMania.
01:03:43And it would be so poetic for Joe Hendry to start the new year in 2026
01:03:49with an NXT championship opportunity.
01:03:51Wait a minute, Big.
01:03:52Here we go.
01:03:53Let's go, Joe.
01:03:57Let's go, Joe.
01:04:02Take another look.
01:04:04Joe Hendry wiping out the field except for one man.
01:04:09Here's where back to live action in the ring.
01:04:10Miles Bourne just got hit.
01:04:12Oh, able to counter that standing ovation.
01:04:15Charge it in.
01:04:16Looking for the Bourne again.
01:04:17Countered by Hendry.
01:04:18Take a look at the clock.
01:04:19Remember, every second counts.
01:04:21Then Joe Hendry going deep into the playbook here tonight.
01:04:25Here we go.
01:04:26Experience.
01:04:27Hendry just came into play right there.
01:04:29Joe Hendry has scored a point.
01:04:31Three-way tie at one as the clock continuing to tick.
01:04:38Approaching 18 minutes.
01:04:43That's what Joe Hendry needed to do.
01:04:45He scouted the field, came in, made an immediate impact.
01:04:49As Miles Bourne now goes to the penalty box to our right
01:04:52as he's got 70 seconds to think about it.
01:04:55But that's plenty of time for Joe Hendry to take a look, boy.
01:04:58Everybody's down but one man.
01:04:59I can tell you this.
01:05:00Since Joe Hendry came in, he's had no wasted motion.
01:05:04He's stalking his opponents.
01:05:06He's trying to make sure every big shot lands and lands properly.
01:05:10We got caught right there by the young OG.
01:05:11Able to kick out for Joe Hendry, though.
01:05:13Is this a chance to prove he truly belongs?
01:05:15That he's more than just a one-hit wonder.
01:05:17So many people around here that really believe in Joe Hendry,
01:05:20so he's going to have to make them believe.
01:05:22Shoulder was down for a half-second.
01:05:23Inside cradle.
01:05:24Half-second too short.
01:05:25Another half-second off.
01:05:27Leon able to kick out.
01:05:28Ducks the clothesline.
01:05:29Two men.
01:05:29Turn it around.
01:05:30And Joe just turned into stereo superkicks.
01:05:32Dion Lennox, he caught some two.
01:05:34In stereo, baby.
01:05:36Swing and a miss.
01:05:37Leon doesn't connect.
01:05:38Javon and Leon, same game plan out of the same playbook.
01:05:42Bodies are down.
01:05:43And Bourne's got 20 seconds left to think about what he does next.
01:05:47Three-way tie at one with just over six minutes left.
01:05:51D,C, D,C.
01:05:57Let's go.
01:05:59Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:06:01Let's go.
01:06:01Let's go.
01:06:02Open the door, open the door, open the door.
01:06:04Look, you can feel the urge.
01:06:05Oh!
01:06:06The hell did Dion come from?
01:06:08Sneak attack, baby.
01:06:10That's dark state.
01:06:11That's what they're all about.
01:06:12I didn't even see Dion over here, but he certainly hit that big spine muscle.
01:06:16Got caught, baby.
01:06:16with a jumping knee. Joe Hendry right
01:06:18back up. Joe Hendry could be
01:06:20looking down because that boy getting
01:06:22bouncy. Javon Evans looking to fly.
01:06:26Young OG
01:06:26right now. Let's have a look at the clock for a
01:06:28second. Five and a half minutes and counting.
01:06:31Slater Bourne do not have a
01:06:32decision. What in the world
01:06:34is he thinking?
01:06:37Oh, yeah.
01:06:39Oh, whoa, whoa.
01:06:40Remember, he's been here since the start.
01:06:42Oh! Swamton
01:06:44all the way across.
01:06:45Got caught, though, by Slater.
01:06:48Certainly did. Leon.
01:06:50And now he's looking at Joe Hendry.
01:06:52You said it earlier. No friends.
01:06:54No buddies. No pals. He's sorry
01:06:56he has to do it. But damn it. Leon
01:06:58Slater's got to get a decision. Got to get on
01:07:00the board. Swamton for 50.
01:07:03One, two, three.
01:07:05Leon.
01:07:06Leon Slater has scored a point.
01:07:08Booker, we have less than five minutes.
01:07:10Everyone has a decision but Miles Bourne.
01:07:12Joe Hendry now finds himself in the penalty
01:07:14box for the next 90 seconds.
01:07:16Leon Slater, presence of mind,
01:07:18to go coast to coast to take out
01:07:20Javon. Damage was done.
01:07:22Swamton 450 is what took out
01:07:25Joe Hendry.
01:07:26And that is what has tied this
01:07:28with four superstars
01:07:30at this juncture.
01:07:33Yes, it's awesome!
01:07:35Yes, it's awesome!
01:07:35Yes, it's awesome!
01:07:37Who is headed to New Year's
01:07:39Evil? Could that be it?
01:07:40That is the Bourne again from Miles!
01:07:42He needs it!
01:07:43Oh, man!
01:07:45Saving this for not just himself
01:07:46but everyone else.
01:07:47You talk about Miles Bourne.
01:07:48Miles Bourne's such an inspiration.
01:07:50He was up and trained with
01:07:51Jelly Roll.
01:07:52And Jelly Roll's the one who said,
01:07:53hey, that move,
01:07:55what'd you do in the ring?
01:07:56Man, you should call that
01:07:57the Bourne again.
01:07:58And Miles said, yep!
01:07:59And I hit it twice!
01:08:00It's so nice!
01:08:01Come on, get a cover!
01:08:03Hook of the leg!
01:08:04For Miles Bourne!
01:08:05And we got a five-way tie!
01:08:06You gotta be kidding me!
01:08:09And now think about this.
01:08:10The door is opening
01:08:10but that is not to let
01:08:12Joe Hendry out.
01:08:13He's in for 27 seconds.
01:08:15Deion Lennox is in for 90 seconds.
01:08:17There's three men in the ring
01:08:18and Deion's hot-headed temper
01:08:20is now coming out of control.
01:08:22And there's no one here
01:08:22to control him
01:08:23because Dark State's in the back.
01:08:25Yes, indeed.
01:08:26We're less than four minutes, man.
01:08:27Less than four minutes.
01:08:29And we're in a five-way tie
01:08:30in this thing right now, man.
01:08:32And I say that,
01:08:33there's nothing that the official
01:08:34could do.
01:08:34The door is shut
01:08:35and I don't like
01:08:36Joe Hendry's chances
01:08:37even though the door
01:08:38will open for him now.
01:08:43And back into the ring,
01:08:45these three men
01:08:46traded some blows
01:08:47as, yes,
01:08:49Deion Lennox
01:08:50has another 50 seconds
01:08:51to wait.
01:08:52Joe Hendry can't even
01:08:53get to his feet.
01:08:59Everyone's sold out
01:09:00here in San Antonio
01:09:00and let them know
01:09:01just what they feel.
01:09:02But look at the box!
01:09:03Look at the penalty!
01:09:04Joe Hendry's angry!
01:09:05Oh, yeah!
01:09:06And he's got every right to be!
01:09:08Like I said,
01:09:08he's got to make you
01:09:09a believer, man!
01:09:11That's Joe Hendry!
01:09:12Wait a minute!
01:09:13Big power slam!
01:09:14Snaps out from out of four!
01:09:15Big knee under the jaw!
01:09:16Rockin' board!
01:09:17Coming right back in!
01:09:18Counter for a second!
01:09:20Wow!
01:09:20Counter from Javon!
01:09:21Connects!
01:09:22Javon swings wildly!
01:09:23Turns right back around!
01:09:24Gets turned inside out
01:09:25by Joe Hendry!
01:09:26And again,
01:09:27five-way tie at one!
01:09:29And we're 14 seconds
01:09:30from being at full strength!
01:09:31Who is heading
01:09:38to New Year's Evil?
01:09:40All five men back in.
01:09:46Deion not happy.
01:09:47And he's going right at the man
01:09:49who pummeled him
01:09:50after he pummeled Joe Hendry.
01:09:51Wait a minute!
01:09:52Oh, look at the strength
01:09:54of this young man!
01:09:55Oh!
01:09:55The official!
01:09:58Wait a minute!
01:10:00What are you doing?
01:10:02There's no official
01:10:03to unlock the penalty box!
01:10:05The official's locked
01:10:06at the penalty box!
01:10:07And Deion Lennox
01:10:08has just taken this over!
01:10:10Just get a point, son!
01:10:11You can win this!
01:10:12Now it goes for it!
01:10:13Hendry's saving the match
01:10:14under two minutes right now!
01:10:16All five men with one!
01:10:17Hendry!
01:10:18Oh!
01:10:19Is this going to be
01:10:20a standing ovation?
01:10:22Lennox runs!
01:10:23Don't get a compliment!
01:10:24He's going to get smart there!
01:10:25So smart!
01:10:26Talk about smart!
01:10:28Javon's climbing!
01:10:29What the hell?
01:10:31What the hell?
01:10:32Oh, yes!
01:10:33Do not be denied!
01:10:35It's your stamp of approval!
01:10:39Let's go!
01:10:4097!
01:10:41Oh, baby!
01:10:43Oh, baby!
01:10:44We're coming out of
01:10:45glued in San Antonio!
01:10:46Slater up and over!
01:10:48Hendry rolling right
01:10:48through center of the ring!
01:10:49Back up just over 60 seconds!
01:10:51Hendry goes down!
01:10:52Javon gets up!
01:10:53Able to counter for a moment!
01:10:54Cutter connects!
01:10:55Cutter connects!
01:10:56Coming right back up!
01:10:57Looking for a little extra
01:10:59from the top!
01:11:00No way!
01:11:01No way!
01:11:01He got it!
01:11:02He got it!
01:11:03And Miles!
01:11:05Right place, right time!
01:11:0650 seconds and counting!
01:11:07Down to 48!
01:11:08We're at 47!
01:11:09We're all counting at 5!
01:11:10Javon Evans in the driver's seat!
01:11:12The man who started the night
01:11:13with Leon Slater in this matchup!
01:11:15Swing and a miss!
01:11:16Miles Bourne coming right back in!
01:11:18Under 40 seconds right now!
01:11:20Everybody's scattered around!
01:11:22No one in the box!
01:11:23Bourne going up top!
01:11:24Super Bourne again!
01:11:25Oh, you got it!
01:11:26Is this it?
01:11:27Cover him!
01:11:28Cover him!
01:11:29You get a point!
01:11:29And look at Diaz!
01:11:30Wow!
01:11:31Right there ripping him right out!
01:11:32But we got under 20 seconds right now
01:11:34in this moment!
01:11:35Excuse me!
01:11:3520 seconds in this juncture!
01:11:37Everyone tied at 5!
01:11:38Swan tied for 50!
01:11:40Hendry!
01:11:4115 seconds!
01:11:42He's gonna get this thing!
01:11:43Hendry's gonna win this thing!
01:11:44Oh!
01:11:45What the hell?
01:11:45What the hell?
01:11:46Whoa!
01:11:50Up and over!
01:11:51Back into the ring!
01:11:53He got him!
01:11:53He got him!
01:11:54He got him!
01:11:55The O.G. did it!
01:11:56Javon Evans has scored the final point!
01:12:00It is the new number one contender to the UNXT Championship!
01:12:09Oh!
01:12:09Booker T was taken out!
01:12:11I just got out of the way!
01:12:13And I mean by a second!
01:12:15And you know who won by a second?
01:12:17Maybe two?
01:12:18All he needed was that final three!
01:12:21Javon Evans!
01:12:23He didn't run out of time this year!
01:12:26He had just enough time left on the clock!
01:12:31What a moment for the young O.G!
01:12:34Soaked it in!
01:12:40Sold out!
01:12:41In San Antonio!
01:12:43The young O.G!
01:12:44Did it!
01:12:51Booker now getting back on headside!
01:12:53Hope he's okay!
01:12:55He took the brunt of Deion Lennox!
01:12:59As Javon Evans looking around!
01:13:04It ain't nothing from Deion!
01:13:08But it showed his sportsmanship at least in the moment!
01:13:12After getting locked in the penalty box!
01:13:15Javon Evans went to great heights!
01:13:18To soar back into this matchup!
01:13:21In more ways than one I might add!
01:13:24Right here we thought that cover would be it!
01:13:26Right place!
01:13:27Right time!
01:13:29For Miles Moore!
01:13:31Moore then would hit that horn again!
01:13:33And Deion Lennox would continue this match!
01:13:37And you gotta remember, right now at this juncture, the clock was winding down!
01:13:41Everyone was tied!
01:13:43Until right there!
01:13:45That inside cradle for Javon would be the difference maker tonight!
01:13:50And the question is, is the time now?
01:13:54Evans, the first to win the Men's Iron Survivor Challenge from the number one spot,
01:13:59now looks to be the number one man!
01:14:02Can he finally overcome our new champion?
01:14:05Evans, Femi, New Year's Evil for the NXT Championship!
01:14:10And Javon is staring a hole in the man!
01:14:34He's never beaten!
01:14:36When the championship has been on the line, when it has mattered most!
01:14:42Did Javon finally overcome the rule?
01:14:45What the hell?
01:14:50What the hell?
01:14:51Oh, boy.
01:15:14Jimmy, looking at him.
01:15:15Whoa.
01:15:19Hooker.
01:15:21That's Tony D'Angelo.
01:15:24That's not Tony D'Angelo.
01:15:26I know right there.
01:15:28We haven't seen him since the summer.
01:15:40As we are looking towards our future, the past has just become the present in NXT.
01:15:48We have to look at T.
