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

00:00:29San Antonio, one of the most visited cities in Texas, and for the 11th time, the site of a WWE Premium Live event, including four Royal Rumbles.

00:00:40But here, this evening, NXT returns to the Lone Star State inside the state-of-the-art Boeing Center at Techport.

00:00:52And as we know, we're kicking off the night for the first time on a Premium Live event for NXT,

00:00:57with the NXT Championship being defended.

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

00:01:06And tonight, it's about strategy, determination, will, and competition with two innovative Iron Survivor Challenge matches.

00:01:16Who will beat the clock?

00:01:17Who will beat the opposition?

00:01:19Who will beat their deadline?

00:01:27Time.

00:01:29The ultimate equalizer.

00:01:33The most precious commodity covered by all.

00:01:36But also, the most vile adversary faced by all.

00:01:43Bringing new beginnings.

00:01:45Saints did it!

00:01:46The new NXT champion!

00:01:50And the revolution takes its next step.

00:01:55Paxley shocks the universe!

00:01:58But also, unavoidable endings.

00:02:03The ruler is back!

00:02:08The sun is setting on the absolute era.

00:02:12Tate of Paxley's reign has abruptly ended.

00:02:17I took everything from her.

00:02:20Because that is what she owed me.

00:02:24We cannot fight time, but we can make the most of what it gives us.

00:02:30The deadline is going to make you feel all of my pain.

00:02:33All of the work, and the years that I have grinded away from, if I can't beat all of him.

00:02:40I am the one who will destroy you!

00:02:43That will be all for naught.

00:02:46In the hands of some, time can be the ultimate provider.

00:02:51Iron Survivor Challenge.

00:02:54For some, 25 minutes will feel like an eternity.

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

00:03:06It's going to be a long night.

00:03:08For others, it will seem like the blink of an eye.

00:03:12And he's going to run out of time!

00:03:15Ten superstars will need more than just time on their side to survive in San Antonio.

00:03:21Both matches give five competitors a chance at greatness.

00:03:25But only one will emerge, the Iron Survivor.

00:03:36Tonight, two Iron Survivors will be crowned.

00:03:45And become number one contenders.

00:03:50The time has come.

00:03:54Welcome to NXT Deadline.

00:04:01And now, WWE presents Deadline.

00:04:09Sol Rook arrived from SmackDown earlier today.

00:04:16She looks to prove to herself she has what it takes to outpace the field tonight, even though there's a lot weighing on her mind.

00:04:24She'll also need to be very mindful of the feet and Mr. Fury from Lola Vice, who's looking to become the women's Iron Survivor.

00:04:32But both of those women are going to need to keep an eye on that woman, Kalani Jordan.

00:04:39That's just three of the five who will compete in tonight's Women's Iron Survivor Challenge.

00:04:45On the men's side of things, there is the young OG, Javon Evans.

00:04:49He's looking to close out the year on a high note.

00:04:52And some could say the same for his opponent tonight and his good friend.

00:04:56There is the TNA X Division champion Leon Slater, who defended that title just 24 hours ago.

00:05:02Can he make history here tonight in San Antonio?

00:05:05Or will we be saying his name as this year's Iron Survivor winner, Joe Hentry, looking to make more believers tonight right here at Deadline?

00:05:18It's the final premium live event of the year, and we're kicking off tonight.

00:05:47For the first time ever on an NXT premium live event with the NXT championship being defended on a night, strategy, tactics, resilience will lead Iron Survivors to victory.

00:05:59We welcome you to Deadline.

00:06:17Through the smoke is a man looking to reclaim his gold.

00:06:45Oh, yeah, man.

00:06:49He's fully rested, dawg.

00:06:52100% ready for this moment.

00:06:55And you know what I say.

00:06:56You know what I say.

00:06:57No bread.

00:06:59No water.

00:07:00Just meat tonight, dawg.

00:07:04And look, have you ever been around someone who has asserted dominance?

00:07:10Dominance since day one, like this man, Oba Fennig.

00:07:142023 breakout tournament winner to go on to become the North American champion.

00:07:22To go on to become the NXT champion.

00:07:24The longest reigning NXT champion at 273 days.

00:07:29Oh, yes, man.

00:07:30NXT North American champion.

00:07:32Longest reigning.

00:07:33That is, that is.

00:07:34I just wanted to make sure.

00:07:35I don't want social media to yell at you.

00:07:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:07:46This is the revolution.

00:07:49Oh, yeah.

00:07:50Oh, yeah.

00:07:51Oh, yeah.

00:07:52Oh, yeah.

00:07:53Oh, yeah.

00:07:54Oh, yeah.

00:07:55Oh, yeah.

00:07:56Oh, yeah.

00:07:57Oh, yeah.

00:07:58Oh, yeah.

00:07:59Oh, yeah.

00:08:00Oh, yeah.

00:08:01Oh, yeah.

00:08:02Oh, yeah.

00:08:11The electricity in here is unreal.

00:08:14What a way to kick off tonight.

00:08:16And as we talk about the dominance of the challenger, let's talk about the champion book.

00:08:20Do you think the champion's ambition, the ambition he has had, the ambition he has talked about

00:08:26since his arrival threatens Oba Fennig's legacy?

00:08:30Because there's the man that beat Oba Fennig's legacy.

00:08:33That's a huge word right there.

00:08:34But let me tell you something.

00:08:35This man right here with the Saints.

00:08:37He came in with one intention on his mind.

00:08:40And that one takes the championship.

00:08:42Cats are gold.

00:08:43Big gold.

00:08:44North American champion.

00:08:45And now, NXT champion.

00:08:47What's it is?

00:08:48Can he beat the man twice?

00:08:51I don't know, dog.

00:08:53Saints beat Semi for the championship at no mercy.

00:08:57Oh.

00:08:58Challenger does not look very impressed.

00:09:00Look at the eyes.

00:09:01The eyes never lied to you.

00:09:03No.

00:09:04Yeah, but listen to the NXT universe for our champion.

00:09:07As we get set to kick things off tonight, we go up to our ring announcer for the evening,

00:09:12Mike Rome.

00:09:13The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT championship.

00:09:30Introducing the challenger from Lagos, Nigeria.

00:09:35Weak in at 310 pounds, Oba Fennig.

00:09:49And his opponents from New Orleans, Louisiana.

00:09:54Weak in at 210 pounds.

00:09:58He is the NXT champion, Ricky Saints!

00:10:11You know, when I ask you that about ambition, Booker, because it was Saints whose revolution

00:10:16overthrew the ruler at no mercy.

00:10:20Both these men have worn the same gold.

00:10:22You ran through the list of it.

00:10:23Both, though, pulled no punches in New York City.

00:10:26Only one will head into the new year as champion.

00:10:29Only different now, though, man.

00:10:31I'm gonna tell you, catching that champion at the right time, you always on call like you're

00:10:36a doctor with a stethoscope when you're the champ.

00:10:39And at that time, Oba Fennig had been run hard, man.

00:10:42Let's see what happens tonight.

00:10:45Look at the atmosphere that this is.

00:10:46Oh, wait a minute.

00:10:47That's not gonna work.

00:10:48Last NXT premium live event in San Antonio.

00:10:51It was a glorious night.

00:10:52Bobby Roode won this very championship, the NXT title, by defeating Shinsuke Nakamura.

00:10:59And he didn't like the early strategy.

00:11:01Look, Oba Fennig's giving him the leg.

00:11:03Oba Fennig's saying, try it again.

00:11:04You're not gonna shoot a single on Oba Fennig right out the gate.

00:11:08It's not gonna happen.

00:11:09A little bit of a cat and mouse game between the champion and the challenger.

00:11:15First time the NXT title has opened an NXT premium live event as we've mentioned.

00:11:19And what a way to kick off the final premium live event of the year as Saints getting the

00:11:23early control.

00:11:24I don't like this strategy by Saints right now trying to keep Oba close to the body.

00:11:27This guy's too big.

00:11:28He's too strong for this right now.

00:11:30And like I say, this is a bad idea.

00:11:32Okay, so let's break it down then.

00:11:33This is gonna be a two-parter here, Book.

00:11:34You ready?

00:11:35How does Saints retain and how does Oba reclaim?

00:11:38I mean, Saints is gonna have to go out there real, determination, heart, you know, intestinal

00:11:4340, all of that is gonna have to come into play.

00:11:45But Oba Fennig, he just have to do what Oba Fennig does.

00:11:48And that's go out there and rule in the middle of that square circle, that 20 by 20 man.

00:11:53We talk about the title.

00:11:54How about this?

00:11:55We found out last night on SmackDown that the winner of this matchup will face the undisputed

00:11:59WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, Saturday night's main event next Saturday.

00:12:04I mean, that's huge for this brand and its representation as we get a backbreaker from the Challenger.

00:12:09You gotta give it up for Cody Rhodes going out there and thinking about the young guys just

00:12:13like John Cena's doing it this time.

00:12:15John Cena's handprint is on this show here tonight.

00:12:18Give it up for John Cena.

00:12:19It certainly is and it's gonna be a huge opportunity.

00:12:21Can you imagine if whoever wins this matchup heads to the nation's capital?

00:12:26Let me tell you.

00:12:27And then I'm not even saying defeats Cody Rhodes but is able to hang with Cody Rhodes.

00:12:30It's all about opportunity.

00:12:31Getting that opportunity from a veteran, a guy that's been in the game like Cody Rhodes had been.

00:12:36He's done it all man.

00:12:37He's the champ.

00:12:38He's the champ.

00:12:39Let's go champ.

00:12:40And now we're seeing that power of Oba Fennig coming into display.

00:12:43Huge night still.

00:12:44Oh yes.

00:12:45And going right back to the body.

00:12:47See that?

00:12:48Don't get it.

00:12:49Nice uppercut right there.

00:12:50Oba's taking his time every night too.

00:12:52He's not rushing anything right now.

00:12:54You can see he just...

00:12:55Wait a minute.

00:12:56A little pose there.

00:12:57Oh!

00:12:58A little pectorio action!

00:13:02Well he's not gonna get a championship for flexing his pecs book.

00:13:05He's gotta get the job done.

00:13:06He has to defeat Ricky Saints for the count of three or make them tap.

00:13:09As we get a little snake eyes.

00:13:11Show business.

00:13:12The people want to see it.

00:13:13The people want to see Oba Fennig go out there and dance.

00:13:16Oba! Oba! Oba!

00:13:18Listen to the people.

00:13:19Yeah it's almost as if you're piped into the NXT universe here tonight.

00:13:21And they heard you almost right on cue as Saints really trying to fight at this juncture.

00:13:26To get out of the gates of this match.

00:13:28Wait a minute.

00:13:29Listen to the people.

00:13:30They're behind Ricky.

00:13:31They like Ricky.

00:13:32Oba!

00:13:33Oh!

00:13:34Nice counter by Ricky Saints.

00:13:35Saints now.

00:13:36Nice!

00:13:37And now how about this strategy.

00:13:38He went to the legs to begin.

00:13:39But now he's going to the upper body.

00:13:40He's trying to take away one of the arms.

00:13:42Some of the strength of the much more powerful challenges.

00:13:45He's trying to go toe to toe with Oba Fennig.

00:13:47And like I say for me.

00:13:48I'm going to see Ricky Saints still in his spine.

00:13:50Hey how about that dance?

00:13:51But right now.

00:13:52He's showboating.

00:13:53He's showboating.

00:13:54That's what you just said it's all about.

00:13:55People wanted to see Oba dance.

00:13:56They're looking at Ricky dance and pose.

00:13:59Did I say it was a bad thing?

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

00:14:02Sometimes I don't know which way you're going to go.

00:14:03It's a crap shoot every single Tuesday.

00:14:05Or in this case a Saturday in San Antonio.

00:14:07It was a nice counter from Oba Fennig.

00:14:08Sliding right through underneath goes Ricky Saints.

00:14:10Saints back up looking for the drop to hold counter.

00:14:12Too much power from Oba.

00:14:13Now just chopping down.

00:14:14The challenger.

00:14:15Stiff kick to the spine.

00:14:17Taking out the arm.

00:14:18And Saints is beating down Oba Fennig.

00:14:20You know what I always say Vic right?

00:14:22Preparation.

00:14:23Preparation is the only look you're going to have.

00:14:25And you can tell that Ricky Saints has prepared for everything he could possibly prepare

00:14:30for in this match for Oba Fennig.

00:14:32And let's go back.

00:14:33Saints made it clear.

00:14:34He has believed in himself.

00:14:35You know what?

00:14:36Since his arrival.

00:14:37There is no self-doubt.

00:14:38You know what?

00:14:39There may be something now.

00:14:40To add to that.

00:14:41Ricky Saints is the only person that has believed in him.

00:14:44And no one else.

00:14:45I don't think he believed in him.

00:14:46I'm talking about as far as reaching that pinnacle.

00:14:48Why wouldn't I believe in him?

00:14:49I've seen the potential.

00:14:50I'm a big fan of Ricky Saints.

00:14:51When Ricky Saints came.

00:14:52It's such a job.

00:14:53It's such a job Vic.

00:14:54Well it's not my job.

00:14:55It's such a job to care about it.

00:14:56It's on action.

00:14:57We're going to remember this a little bit later on tonight.

00:14:59Drop kick.

00:15:00Cover.

00:15:01Retain.

00:15:02And a kick out again.

00:15:03The winner of this matchup doesn't only win the NXT championship.

00:15:06In Ricky's case.

00:15:07Retaining the championship.

00:15:08But also be a date with Cody Rhodes in one week.

00:15:11It's not a date.

00:15:12It's an opportunity of a lifetime.

00:15:14It's what it is Vic.

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

00:15:17When Saints first made his interest known in that very title.

00:15:20He did not come quietly if you remember Booker.

00:15:22He confronted Obafemi.

00:15:24How many men can say that?

00:15:26Even you have to respect the fact that Ricky Saints walked right up to Oba.

00:15:29And I'm coming for that title.

00:15:31I just get a lot of respect.

00:15:32I mean for going up there and doing that.

00:15:34But let me tell you something.

00:15:35Wasn't a wise choice to go out there and rile this man up.

00:15:39This monster.

00:15:40This beast.

00:15:41Oh no.

00:15:42Here we go.

00:15:43We going for the ride son.

00:15:44Well when he originally did it he was able to defeat Oba to win the title.

00:15:48Right now though.

00:15:49Different story.

00:15:50Hosted high above.

00:15:53The elbows locked.

00:15:54And a long drop.

00:15:56Man.

00:15:57For Saints.

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

00:16:04You know also I talk about Saints not only.

00:16:06He didn't just win the title.

00:16:07He stripped Obafemi of his power.

00:16:10How big of a blow is that to someone like Oba?

00:16:13Like I say now look.

00:16:14Timing is everything.

00:16:15Ricky Saints just happened to get Oba at the right time.

00:16:18Not saying that he can't go out there and do it again.

00:16:20But to do it twice.

00:16:21Look here.

00:16:22Look here.

00:16:23Look here.

00:16:24I take my hat off.

00:16:25I get it.

00:16:26I get it.

00:16:27I get it.

00:16:28But I don't think he can.

00:16:29Well I want to ask you this then.

00:16:31Is that why Oba disappeared after No Mercy?

00:16:34Is that why Oba went away?

00:16:35You told me earlier this year you don't run.

00:16:37You questioned Javon Evans for running away.

00:16:39Not showing up.

00:16:40What about Obafemi?

00:16:41What they say when they land on the move?

00:16:42Huh?

00:16:43What they say?

00:16:44Wasn't alive.

00:16:45So you tell me what they say.

00:16:46One step is a giant leap or something like that.

00:16:48Sometimes you gotta take it.

00:16:49You don't even know?

00:16:50Sometimes you gotta take it.

00:16:51Oh!

00:16:52Oh!

00:16:53Forget the leap.

00:16:54Just like that right there.

00:16:55That's what I'm talking about.

00:16:56Forget the leap.

00:16:57How about the toss?

00:16:58Look.

00:16:59Obafemi he just pressed play on Ricky Saints.

00:17:01Into the cover.

00:17:02Into the cover for the title.

00:17:03And a kick out.

00:17:04He did it when he tells me that Obafemi has been in the gym.

00:17:07He's been trained.

00:17:08He's ready for this moment.

00:17:10And the thing is.

00:17:11It's not just about the titles.

00:17:12It's about the Reckoning Sun.

00:17:14Oh!

00:17:15Well look for Obafemi.

00:17:17He went back to his Alabama track and field days.

00:17:20Moments ago.

00:17:21And just tossed Ricky Saints in the shot putt.

00:17:23You saw it?

00:17:24You saw it?

00:17:25All muscle.

00:17:26This guy right here.

00:17:27Look here.

00:17:28Ricky Saints is in a whole lot of trouble here tonight.

00:17:30Going right to the body is Oba.

00:17:32And Oba now just beating down the champion.

00:17:34Oh yes!

00:17:35Oh yes!

00:17:36Oh yes!

00:17:37That's that right hand!

00:17:38That's that left hand!

00:17:39That's that right hand!

00:17:40Boom shakalaka!

00:17:42This is an NBA Jam Booker.

00:17:44This is the NXT Championship match.

00:17:46As Obafemi though is applying the pressure.

00:17:48And I will say this and I will agree with you.

00:17:50Obafemi is a man that is powered by discipline.

00:17:54I think so.

00:17:55I think so.

00:17:56Obafemi like I say since day 1, 2023.

00:17:59Breakout Turner.

00:18:00Getting a few push ups here right there for that painful.

00:18:03This guy is thinking about one thing.

00:18:05And that's the next level.

00:18:06I'm talking about main roster.

00:18:07I'm talking about legacy.

00:18:08I'm talking about history.

00:18:09I'm talking about Hall of Fame.

00:18:10That's what this man is thinking about.

00:18:12Obafemi called Saints a...

00:18:14And this is a quote.

00:18:15This isn't something I said Book.

00:18:16This is something Oba said about the champion as he's wearing down Saints.

00:18:20He's a fly by night.

00:18:21He's here today.

00:18:22He's going tomorrow.

00:18:23Is that what he said?

00:18:24I was just wondering.

00:18:25I was just wondering what that is.

00:18:26He called Saints a little man and vowed to take it all away here tonight.

00:18:31I wouldn't necessarily say he's a little man.

00:18:34And Stafford, he's not as big as Oba.

00:18:36But this guy got a lot of heart.

00:18:37You gotta give up...

00:18:38This kid from New Orleans.

00:18:40Trust me.

00:18:41It's a hard...

00:18:42It's a hard, hard road to hold in New Orleans.

00:18:44Trust me on that.

00:18:45And as we're talking about this matchup and we talk about Cody Rhodes who awaits the winner next Saturday as we get it covered by the challenger.

00:18:52To have the gold for the second time as the NXT Universe now is letting their voice heard into another cover and a kick out.

00:18:58Another kick out on the champion.

00:18:59Oh, man.

00:19:00And Oba now...

00:19:01Oh, yes.

00:19:02Oh, yes.

00:19:03But the winner will immediately have to turn their attention to our main event.

00:19:08Who will be the men's Iron Survivor Challenge winner?

00:19:10Who will get that NXT title match at New Year's Evil?

00:19:11But look at Ricky Saints.

00:19:12Standing in the face of Obafemi.

00:19:13Not backing down.

00:19:14Saying, bring me the fight.

00:19:15No, Ricky Saints right now.

00:19:16He's fighting down on his mouthpiece.

00:19:17He's gonna go in here.

00:19:18And he comes to fight tonight.

00:19:19I love it, man.

00:19:20He certainly is.

00:19:21And Saints now charging in.

00:19:22Target acquired.

00:19:23Saints earlier.

00:19:24Tried to walk the tightrope.

00:19:25Tried to bless Obafemi.

00:19:26Will the second time be the charm?

00:19:27Whoa!

00:19:28In a unique way.

00:19:29Hurrican.

00:19:30He's gonna go in here.

00:19:31He's gonna go in here.

00:19:32And he comes to fight tonight.

00:19:33I love it, man.

00:19:34He certainly is.

00:19:35And Saints now charging in.

00:19:36Target acquired.

00:19:38Saints earlier.

00:19:40Tried to walk the tightrope.

00:19:42Tried to bless Obafemi.

00:19:44Will the second time be the charm?

00:19:50Whoa!

00:19:51In a unique way.

00:19:52Hurricanrana.

00:19:53Swear!

00:19:54Femi's rocked.

00:19:55He's got all of it.

00:19:56He's got all of it.

00:19:57He's got all of it.

00:19:58And...

00:19:59Whoa!

00:20:00Almost did it for the second time, Book.

00:20:03Wait a minute.

00:20:04Feel the impact.

00:20:05First for Hurricanrana.

00:20:07And then Ricky Saints switching gears.

00:20:10Bam!

00:20:14For a near fall.

00:20:18Well, you go back to Obafemi taking that time off.

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

00:20:24You never want to take yourself out of the game because there's no replication for being in the middle of that square circle.

00:20:30There's no way you can train cardio if you're not inside that square circle.

00:20:34And that might be what gets Ricky Saints over the finish line here tonight.

00:20:38Obafemi maybe looking...

00:20:39Oh, baby!

00:20:40Oh!

00:20:41Oh!

00:20:42Oh!

00:20:43Oh!

00:20:44Able to block for a moment.

00:20:45Up goes.

00:20:46Saints able to counter land on his feet.

00:20:47Big forearm under the jaw by the challenger.

00:20:48Champion right now.

00:20:49Wheeling right around.

00:20:50Answering back with a clothesline.

00:20:51Obafemi bouncing back.

00:20:52It got caught with a stunner!

00:20:54And can we have a stunning conclusion?

00:20:57Oh, baby!

00:20:58Oh!

00:20:59Whoa!

00:21:00That was so close.

00:21:01You can tell Obafemi right now that time off is messing with him a little bit.

00:21:06Caught out of nowhere.

00:21:08Hit that stunner.

00:21:10Near fall.

00:21:11And Ricky right now is really pulling on all the stops.

00:21:13And now looking for a submission.

00:21:14Looking for a guillotine.

00:21:15How about this strategy, Booker?

00:21:17Late in the game.

00:21:18I like it right now.

00:21:19Trying to...

00:21:20Trying to suck all the oxygen out of Obafemi.

00:21:22All of that muscle.

00:21:23The lactic acid has to be building up late here in this matchup.

00:21:31You can feel the ground swell here in San Antonio.

00:21:34Saints trying to hold on.

00:21:36Trying to get Oba back down.

00:21:37But Oba has solved half of the equation.

00:21:39Getting back to a vertical base.

00:21:41No!

00:21:42Took a lot of pressure off himself right now.

00:21:43If he could just get to the ropes.

00:21:44Break this hole.

00:21:45Everything will be alright right now.

00:21:47Oba's fading.

00:21:48Oh, wait a minute.

00:21:49The ruler is fading.

00:21:50You gotta be kidding me.

00:21:51Saints is even doing a better job of trying to lock his legs around with a body scissors.

00:21:56Obafemi.

00:21:57We have never seen Femi in a position like this.

00:22:00If I get that locked because Oba's torso is quite large, man.

00:22:05Might be emptying the tank right now is Obafemi.

00:22:08Obafemi.

00:22:09The challenger.

00:22:10Rising back up.

00:22:11Can he create some separation?

00:22:13Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

00:22:16Wow!

00:22:17That's certainly one way to do it, but the damage is done.

00:22:21Look at Obafemi.

00:22:22Flat on his back.

00:22:23We haven't seen that quite often since his arrival back in the spring of 2023.

00:22:28Like I said, time off the legs, man.

00:22:30The legs are the first to go, but right now Oba trying to bounce something.

00:22:33But you can see it right now.

00:22:35He's laboring.

00:22:36Obafemi's laboring right now, man.

00:22:38He certainly is.

00:22:39Gotta telegraph that just a little bit because Ricky Saints ain't new to the game.

00:22:44Saints right now.

00:22:45Oh, yeah!

00:22:46Oh!

00:22:47Forearm.

00:22:48Right into the challenger.

00:22:49Challenger drop.

00:22:50Challenger rock.

00:22:51Challenger book.

00:22:52The challenger may be out.

00:22:54Doesn't matter.

00:22:55Win by count on it.

00:22:56Doesn't matter.

00:22:57For Ricky, he's the champion.

00:22:59Oh!

00:23:00Listen to the ref.

00:23:01You don't have to win it, Vic.

00:23:03You just don't have to lose it.

00:23:04Paul, I'm trying to listen to the count.

00:23:06Referee's at seven.

00:23:07Oba just starting to move.

00:23:09Referee's at eight.

00:23:10Oba's only got two seconds at nine.

00:23:12Can he beat the count?

00:23:13Oh!

00:23:14Just able to get there and then gets dropped.

00:23:17Saints into the cover to retain his title tonight.

00:23:20What a game.

00:23:21What a game plan by Ricky Saints.

00:23:24I must give him that.

00:23:25You know, but you can talk about the game plan.

00:23:27Look at the face of the champion.

00:23:28You gotta start wondering.

00:23:29Doubt settling in.

00:23:30It's now at frustration.

00:23:32What does Ricky Saints have to do?

00:23:34Bam!

00:23:35A famouser of sorts.

00:23:37Still not enough to put the ruler down.

00:23:40Time off could be your worst enemy.

00:23:42The best thing Ricky Saints going for him,

00:23:44he's been in the action.

00:23:45He's had no days off since winning that championship.

00:23:48That's the best thing he's got going for him

00:23:50right here at this moment.

00:23:51I don't know if this starts breaking down into a slugfest

00:23:53if I would favor the champion.

00:23:56I'd probably favor the challenger.

00:23:58But Ricky Saints is unlike any champion we've had in recent memory.

00:24:01He's got a heart as big as the state of Texas.

00:24:04But it just got caught!

00:24:05Oh!

00:24:06Back up.

00:24:07Back down.

00:24:08Obafemi now the challenger starting to feel it.

00:24:10Oh!

00:24:11My!

00:24:12Oh!

00:24:13Kill it across the chest.

00:24:14And a coming blow across the back.

00:24:16And Obafemi now.

00:24:18Oba's unloaded.

00:24:19Oh no!

00:24:20Oh wow!

00:24:21Locomotive driving through the body of Saints.

00:24:29You talk about spring break-ins debut less than three years ago for Obafemi.

00:24:34You're talking about a standing liver main event or a North American champion,

00:24:37an iron survivor just last year.

00:24:39But he's never defeated.

00:24:40Ricky Saints who might have just outsmarted him again in another near fall.

00:24:44What a counter that was.

00:24:45So close.

00:24:46So close.

00:24:47So close.

00:24:48Ricky Saints right now is pulling out all the stops.

00:24:49I mean Obafemi just unloading a fuselage and right now Ricky Saints is still-

00:24:53What?!

00:24:54Ah!

00:24:55That's it!

00:24:56Oh!

00:24:57We got a new tap!

00:24:58Oh!

00:24:59We got a new tap!

00:25:00And not quite yet that right shoulder just off the mat.

00:25:06But you talk about unbridled power.

00:25:09Yoking up a man from the ground like Obafemi just did.

00:25:13Unreal.

00:25:17And you start to wonder what's going through the mind of these two men.

00:25:20Because Oba knows just how dominant he was as champion as you mentioned over 260 days.

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

00:25:29And Ricky Saints the one who just got out of the way.

00:25:33Into the post goes Oba.

00:25:35Oba again.

00:25:37Rocked.

00:25:38In Saints.

00:25:39Like a rubber band snapping back in this match.

00:25:42Like I said I'm looking at Obafemi.

00:25:44Oh wait a minute!

00:25:45Just landed a big shot right there.

00:25:47Look at that Obafemi's posture man.

00:25:49And it doesn't look.

00:25:51It doesn't look great to me right now Vic.

00:25:53Obafemi though.

00:25:54Rocked and Obafemi.

00:25:55No!

00:25:58Well if he didn't like his posture before Booker.

00:26:00What are you going to think about it now?

00:26:01Talking about it man.

00:26:02Ricky Saints has a game plan.

00:26:04And right now he's executing that game plan.

00:26:07And I think I got to agree with you.

00:26:09A DDT.

00:26:11With a guard rail assist onto the steel steps.

00:26:16And the referee doing his job.

00:26:18Coming out to check on the challenger.

00:26:20Remember it wasn't just one DDT.

00:26:22It was four DDTs that took Oba out at no mercy.

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

00:26:29But Saints got him back because Saints doesn't want to count out.

00:26:32Ricky Saints wants to win this match in the ring.

00:26:35Big Bang!

00:26:36Oh yeah!

00:26:37Exclamation point!

00:26:38You got to be kidding me.

00:26:39To retain an absolute!

00:26:46What?

00:26:47I was getting ready to talk about an absolute statement.

00:26:51Talking about Ricky Saints is questioning himself right now.

00:26:57Can he get the job done Vic?

00:26:59NXT Universe can't believe NXT Universe right now standing for this match.

00:27:03It's our first night.

00:27:04And look at the power.

00:27:05You got to be kidding me.

00:27:06Looking for Rochambeau.

00:27:07Oba is able to counter.

00:27:08Charging back in.

00:27:09Ball!

00:27:10From Grace!

00:27:11And just like that, Oba champion!

00:27:14Whoa!

00:27:16Whoa!

00:27:18Whoa!

00:27:25You got to get it.

00:27:26What is it going to take?

00:27:28NXT!

00:27:29NXT!

00:27:30NXT!

00:27:31NXT!

00:27:32NXT!

00:27:33NXT!

00:27:34NXT!

00:27:35NXT!

00:27:36NXT!

00:27:37NXT!

00:27:38NXT!

00:27:39NXT!

00:27:40NXT!

00:27:41NXT!

00:27:42NXT!

00:27:43NXT!

00:27:44NXT!

00:27:45NXT!

00:27:46NXT!

00:27:47NXT!

00:27:48NXT!

00:27:49NXT!

00:27:50NXT!

00:27:51NXT!

00:27:52NXT!

00:27:53NXT!

00:27:54NXT!

00:27:55NXT!

00:27:56NXT!

00:27:57NXT!

00:27:58NXT!

00:27:59NXT!

00:28:00NXT!

00:28:01NXT!

00:28:02New NXT Champion, Obafemi!

00:28:14Throne reclaimed.

00:28:19And Obafemi will now face WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in the spirit of opportunity next Saturday at Saturday night's main event.

00:28:29But look at Ricky Saints.

00:28:31This was the second DDT.

00:28:34That one, as I said, with an exclamation point.

00:28:36Couldn't keep the ruler down late in the game here in this opening matchup.

00:28:41Ricky Saints did his best.

00:28:43This right here, everyone thought was the end.

00:28:46But Saints showed the heart of a champion kicking out of that fall from grace.

00:28:50But then the eyes locked.

00:28:51The eyes of the ruler.

00:28:53The eyes of the revolution.

00:28:54In that moment, right here.

00:28:57Bam!

00:28:57Now, it would be the ruler becoming the NXT Champion for the second time.

00:29:08Standing ovation in San Antonio.

00:29:11As the revolution has ended.

00:29:17And Oba is the ruler once more of NXT.

00:29:2317 athletes.

00:29:2410 in San Antonio.

00:29:2425 feet raise Pomona.

00:29:53Cody Rhodes, be ready.

00:30:12Next Saturday, you face the NXT champion, Obam Femi.

00:30:23Win the Iron Survivor Challenge, earn a championship opportunity at New Year's Eve.

00:30:53Ladies, thank you so much for joining me today.

00:30:59Thank you for having us.

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

00:31:04You've made waves through Evolve as the Evolve Women's Champion.

00:31:08You're part of RenQCC.

00:31:09And now, the greatest of all time, John Cena has handpicked you to be part of the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline.

00:31:18So, how are you feeling?

00:31:20You know, Kelly, I'm speechless.

00:31:22I'm excited.

00:31:23It doesn't even feel real.

00:31:25You know, I can't even put into words how I feel.

00:31:27But it's a full circle moment because growing up, I used to watch John Cena.

00:31:31You know, I have a picture when I was like eight years old at a SmackDown event that my dad took me to with a You Can't See Me chain.

00:31:37The chain was huge.

00:31:38It was huge.

00:31:39But it's like a full circle moment.

00:31:41And now he's picking me to be in the Iron Survivor.

00:31:44You know, growing up, I always try to be better than my brother in all sports.

00:31:49And you could say that competitive might be my middle name.

00:31:52Because of that, I did everything.

00:31:54Soccer, gymnastics, T-ball, MMA, wrestling.

00:31:58The list goes on and on and on.

00:32:00All I ever told myself was the phrase that the GO inspired in me.

00:32:04Never give up.

00:32:05Never back down.

00:32:06And to know that John Cena is watching my work, it's crazy.

00:32:10But it's also validated.

00:32:12And now, I have to prove that I belong in the Iron Survivor.

00:32:17Now, the Iron Survivor Challenge is unlike any other match in WWE.

00:32:21And you're going to be in there with some of the most athletic and experienced women in NXT.

00:32:27So, what's your game plan?

00:32:29I mean, Kendall is a badass, Kelly.

00:32:31She doesn't need a game plan.

00:32:33She's just gonna go in there and know exactly what to do.

00:32:36I mean, she's a badass.

00:32:37I mean, she's right.

00:32:38I thrive under pressure.

00:32:40You know, the Iron Survivor is the best place for me to showcase what Kendall Gray is all about.

00:32:45I don't know if I'm gonna be first or last.

00:32:48And I don't know if I want to be first or last or in the middle.

00:32:50I don't...

00:32:51Look, last year was crazy.

00:32:52There really is no right answer.

00:32:53I mean, that doesn't really help, but thank you, I guess?

00:32:56I mean, I tried.

00:32:57Look, Kelly.

00:32:58I'm gonna be strategizing my pins, minimizing my time in the penalty box,

00:33:02and I'm locked in to become the Iron Survivor

00:33:04and the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship.

00:33:07Look, a year ago, I didn't know my own voice.

00:33:09And I thought I was ready, but now I'm walking into Deadline in San Antonio with true confidence

00:33:14that everything that led me to this point was for a purpose.

00:33:18Now, you're walking into this match with a lot of eyes on you, but a lot of support as well.

00:33:25You two have grown so close while building Ren QCC.

00:33:30So what is this dynamic? How's it been like?

00:33:32I'm the biggest Kendall Gray fan.

00:33:34And I know how important it is just to be in the Iron Survivor match.

00:33:37So I can't wait to see Kendall hold up the Ren QCC sign when she is the Iron Survivor.

00:33:42It's gonna be amazing.

00:33:43That's why Ren's my girl.

00:33:45Oh.

00:33:46You know, I saw...

00:33:47Okay, I'm gonna let go now.

00:33:48Okay?

00:33:49Okay.

00:33:50I saw Ren in the Iron Survivor last year, and I saw her break out.

00:33:53Ren Sinclair, she was able to come in out of the penalty box and secure a fall.

00:33:58Look, Kelly, girls run the world, and that's what Ren QCC is all about.

00:34:02And this girl is gonna show that I'm built for big moments.

00:34:05John Cena gave you this opportunity, and at deadline, I'm walking out with a victory.

00:34:10And I can bet you, mark my words, that by the end of the night, everyone's gonna be talking about one girl.

00:34:15Kendall Gray.

00:34:16That's her.

00:34:17Well, Kendall, I wish you luck, and thank you so much again for joining me today, guys.

00:34:23You can watch John Cena's last match and all the excitement of Saturday night's main event next Saturday,

00:34:31December 13th at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific.

00:34:34Streaming on Peacock in the U.S. and on YouTube internationally.

00:34:38Coverage begins at 6 Eastern, 3 Pacific on YouTube.

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

00:34:49Listen, Z, I'm so sorry about what's been going on the past few weeks.

00:34:54I would have really loved to have you here tonight.

00:34:56No, you know what? I'm sorry.

00:34:59I feel terrible.

00:35:01And I would have been there to watch you tonight.

00:35:03I just didn't think you wanted me there.

00:35:06No, that's not the case at all.

00:35:08But also, I do want to say I'm sorry for, you know, not telling you about Saturday night's main event.

00:35:14I just, I thought you didn't want to hear from me, so.

00:35:17I get it.

00:35:18I mean, I would have loved to hear it from you in person instead of watching it happen.

00:35:22But I get it.

00:35:24Look, when you get back, I think we should talk.

00:35:27Yeah, totally.

00:35:28We definitely need to talk this through.

00:35:30But the Iron Survivor is next, so actually, I gotta run.

00:35:34Oh, okay.

00:35:36Good luck.

00:35:37Thanks.

00:35:38See you, Z.

00:35:39Okay, bye.

00:35:40Bye.

00:35:41All right, all right.

00:35:46Belly Boy World Tour 25, taking the honk, honk to Nahon.

00:35:52Boys met up at the airport, then a quick flight to Dallas before the doozy to Japan.

00:35:57You know, we had to get some movement on the layover.

00:35:59Circulation socks, if you know, you know.

00:36:01Spot of the wild Hank.

00:36:02Then a quick shirt change before we got on the 13-hour flight.

00:36:07Full disclosure, neither of the Belly Boys have ever left the country.

00:36:11And we were excited about the meal service, so the flight kind of flew by.

00:36:14No pun intended.

00:36:15But before we knew it, we were driving around Tokyo, babe.

00:36:18Stop at the dojo.

00:36:19We're here, baby.

00:36:20Let's go.

00:36:22Oh, people probably hate us.

00:36:23I'm such a tourist right now.

00:36:24Hank, good job.

00:36:26You're doing it, Hank.

00:36:27We're doing it.

00:36:28Fuckin' it, Hank.

00:36:29We're doing it.

00:36:30Harkona WWE superstar, Hank and Tank.

00:37:47Hank and Tank return Tuesday to NXT.

00:37:50I know you're excited you're gonna be honking and all that stuff.

00:37:53Oh boy.

00:37:54You know that's still belly boys with all the ladies.

00:37:55Man man.

00:37:56It becomes itchie bun.

00:37:58Number one Tag Team.

00:38:00Oh yeah man.

00:38:02What does I say about a team that was successful here but also won gold in Japan.

00:38:05Itchie bun.

00:38:06Itchie bun.

00:38:07Did I just say that?

00:38:08Yeah but I wanted you to elaborate on it.

00:38:09Never mind.

00:38:10We're so excited to see those two fast this Tuesday that we are sold out here tonight in San Antonio.

00:38:16And while we're excited to see those two, we're also excited to see what's coming up.

00:38:20With these five women they are all ready to compete.

00:38:23Not only against themselves but also time.

00:38:26Who will have the ultimate strategy in the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge.

00:38:31This Saturday at Deadline NXT will once again present a truly revolutionary match.

00:38:43The Iron Survivor Challenge.

00:38:45There will be two Iron Survivor Challenges.

00:38:48One for the men and one for the women.

00:38:52Five superstars will compete in this unique 25 minute match.

00:39:07They will battle each other.

00:39:09And the clock.

00:39:14Two superstars will start the match.

00:39:16Then every five minutes another superstar will join the match.

00:39:20Until all five are in the ring.

00:39:22The goal of the match is to have the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes.

00:39:27Falls can be won at any time via pinfall or submission.

00:39:32When a superstar wins a fall, they'll earn a point.

00:39:35However, when a superstar loses a fall, they must pay the penalty.

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

00:39:44Once 90 seconds are up, the superstar can re-enter the match.

00:39:48The superstar who scored the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes will be named the Iron Survivor.

00:39:57And will become the number one contender for the NXT Championship.

00:40:01The countdown to NXT deadline on Saturday begins.

00:40:14The following contest is the Women's Hired Survivor Challenge!

00:40:39In this match, the superstar who scores the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes will be declared the winner.

00:40:46And the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship!

00:40:54Well, we're about to find out which two will have the most time to spend in this match.

00:41:09In this match.

00:41:12Can't choose the first, from Boynton Beach Sports, Kalani Jordan!

00:41:20And Booker, she's as confident as ever.

00:41:22How does a superstar's confidence grow after their first world title win?

00:41:27I'm not just talking about any title.

00:41:28She is a former Women's World Champion having held the TNA Knockouts title.

00:41:34The optimal word right there was World Champion.

00:41:36And not just that, and so young.

00:41:38Kalani Jordan has such an upside because of her confidence.

00:41:42As well as her in the IQ, like I say.

00:41:45And such a young age.

00:41:46She's special.

00:41:47She's special, man!

00:41:49Well, she will have the entire time to soak up as many pins, get as many submissions, as many decisions as she can.

00:41:57So, as of right now, time's certainly on her side.

00:42:00And also, whomever she's facing first.

00:42:03From the Los Angeles Savalos, she is the EVOL Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!

00:42:26And we see Red Sinclair heading to the back.

00:42:29And I gotta get your thoughts on John Cena's hand-picked field.

00:42:32Cena has to be sitting back, enjoying tonight, enjoying what he's about to witness.

00:42:36One week before his last match on Saturday night's main event in the nation's capital.

00:42:41As he'll be facing Gunther.

00:42:43I mean, the feel John Cena actually picked.

00:42:46I mean, in fact, I only get ahead of myself because we still got more to come out here.

00:42:50But, um, Kimberly Gray, she's young, impressionable now.

00:42:54She's the EVOLVED champion.

00:42:56She's got a lot to prove in a match like this.

00:42:58A place that John Cena was once in, himself!

00:43:03Three is the number of most eliminations in a single women's Iron Survivor matchup.

00:43:08And again, we're gonna have a scoreboard up.

00:43:10You're gonna see all the competitors.

00:43:12The competitors, with every decision, that number will go up.

00:43:14The penalty box is right here to our right, lit up right now in red.

00:43:19You suffer a decision.

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

00:43:22Big! Big!

00:43:23It's about to pop off!

00:43:24It's about to pop off, dog!

00:43:25Relax!

00:43:26And look at the...

00:43:27What do you mean, relax?

00:43:28I am calm, cool, and collected.

00:43:29You're the one sweating and fanning yourself right now.

00:43:31As Kalani Jordan and Kendall Gray start getting off.

00:43:33Oh, here we go!

00:43:34You gotta wonder, too, when it comes to Ren Sinclair, how much advice did she give?

00:43:38Sinclair, of course, was in this match just one year ago.

00:43:41Ren Sinclair was also part of the NQCC.

00:43:45She has a lot of knowledge as far as Matt wrestling, as well as Kendall Gray.

00:43:49So, iron sharpens iron, Vic.

00:43:51That's certainly true.

00:43:52And, whoa!

00:43:53A miss.

00:43:54Oh, here we go!

00:43:55Into the cover, looking for that first quick decision.

00:43:56That was so smart.

00:43:57So smart.

00:43:58You gotta know how to...

00:43:59I don't know how to maximize every second in this matchup right here, because it's all about strategy.

00:44:04You said it earlier, Vic.

00:44:05The ultimate strategy.

00:44:06Who's gonna have it?

00:44:07Whoa!

00:44:08Look at the core strength.

00:44:10Kalani trying to turn this into a backslide of sorts.

00:44:14Referee in this matchup.

00:44:15Derek Sanders, Jeremy Marcus is here to our right, watching the door.

00:44:19Trying to go low, right up and over.

00:44:21There's that athletic background, but there's nothing athletic about a slap.

00:44:24Oh, yeah!

00:44:25You gotta give the advantage to Kalani Jordan, though, in this matchup.

00:44:28I mean, she's been here.

00:44:29She's done that.

00:44:30Kendall Gray, she's just now trying to feel her way through this thing.

00:44:34I get...

00:44:35Oh, whoa, wait a minute, but she's good.

00:44:36A little bit of an alligator roll, another kick.

00:44:37I'm glad you bring up Kalani Jordan, who has been here, because, yes, she has competed in this matchup before.

00:44:42I want to remind you, she had no decisions in that matchup when she competed in 2023.

00:44:47Big Goosey.

00:44:48You know, that's gotta fuel her.

00:44:49Yeah, yeah.

00:44:50It was Big Goosey, but she was running up.

00:44:51She came so close.

00:44:52She came so close to actually winning things.

00:44:54So, my thing is, Kalani Jordan definitely could come out on top of this thing.

00:44:59Going up, going over is the All-Women's Champion double stop to the gun.

00:45:03Here we go!

00:45:04It's gonna be the first decision, and you look at the clock on the left.

00:45:06You see that's counting up right now, just over one minute and 48 seconds.

00:45:10When that hits five minutes, the next superstar will come into this matchup.

00:45:15You're gonna see a lot of time flashing up.

00:45:16This is my favorite matchup of the year here at NXT.

00:45:20And the other thing that's interesting...

00:45:24Whoa!

00:45:25Inside cradle!

00:45:26Shoulders are down!

00:45:27Shifting some weight again.

00:45:28Shoulders down.

00:45:29Gonna see a lot of try-to-get-quick decisions as we see some back and forth between these two

00:45:34women in a kick-out.

00:45:35You know, the NXT Universe that's sitting here, this match goes 25 minutes.

00:45:39It doesn't go 20 minutes.

00:45:40It doesn't go 18.

00:45:41It goes a full 25.

00:45:42You certainly cannot win this matchup up front, but you also give the opening to somebody to pick up some positions!

00:45:47Oh!

00:45:48And now it's about weathering that storm, trying to pick up, you know, one here, trying to pick up a point there.

00:45:52And the thing is, Kalani Jordan, I don't think she's thinking about that right now.

00:45:56She'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.

00:46:04And as I said earlier, too, it's hard to argue, look, Kalani hasn't really shined as of late.

00:46:10Think of all the great things she's done, the championship goal that she's won, the new attitude that she now has.

00:46:15Look, sometimes you gotta lose to know how to win.

00:46:17Kalani Jordan, she knows that.

00:46:19Northern suplex with a bridge and a kick out.

00:46:21She knows that.

00:46:22The thing about Kalani Jordan is, like I say, Vic, she's young in this game, but she's so experienced.

00:46:26First North American Women's Champion as well as she's gone down there to TNA and just rocked the whole damn house.

00:46:33Come on, man.

00:46:34Give her a credit.

00:46:35You also just saw Kalani look up at the clock.

00:46:37She knows she has less than two minutes of just having this matchup as a one-on-one before it turns into a triple threat,

00:46:42before it turns into a four-way, before it turns into a five-way matchup.

00:46:46And you talk about...

00:46:47Boom!

00:46:48A pass marker!

00:46:49Get a cover here, quick!

00:46:50Get a cover!

00:46:51Excellently executed, but only a two-count.

00:46:53Look at the past winners, and let's start with, as we get another cover to kick out,

00:46:57let's start with the first one to ever do it, your prodigy, Roxanne Perez.

00:47:01Let's talk about last year's winner, Chulia, as we see this matchup again, a now former Women's World Champion.

00:47:08This matchup certainly is a springboard to success.

00:47:12When you talk about those women, I mean, Roxanne Perez, it catapulted her career all the way to the main roster, baby!

00:47:18Let me tell you something!

00:47:19When you get to the main roster, it's a...

00:47:21Whoa!

00:47:22Whoa!

00:47:23When you get to the main roster, it's a big check, wait a minute!

00:47:25Oh!

00:47:26Under 60 seconds until the third superstar will enter this match randomly selected earlier today.

00:47:32No points on the board either.

00:47:33Certainly is not, and that's something we're going to keep our eye on.

00:47:36I mean, this is just such a unique matchup, unlike anything in the WWE, on display.

00:47:42Oh!

00:47:43Right here at NXT.

00:47:45Nasty landing and a vicious kick from Kalani.

00:47:48Kalani got that attitude, now she understands.

00:47:50Big leg drop!

00:47:51This is my bitch!

00:47:52This is my bitch!

00:47:53This is my beating!

00:47:54In the back of the deck!

00:47:55Oh yes!

00:47:56Almost getting that first decision.

00:47:57Stay on the gas, Kalani!

00:47:58You got, you got about 20 seconds!

00:48:01But are you seeing and what could be setting up for that one of a kind instead?

00:48:05Switching gears!

00:48:06Looking down!

00:48:07Looking for that frog splash rolling right through.

00:48:09Is there a sense of almost desperation!

00:48:11Oh baby!

00:48:12Big slam!

00:48:13Out of nowhere!

00:48:14And we got our first decision!

00:48:15You gotta be kissed!

00:48:18We got our first decision right before the five!

00:48:22Wow!

00:48:23And now who's coming down?

00:48:26The Juggernaut!

00:48:28George going to the penalty box.

00:48:30And let's set the stage right now.

00:48:33Jordan Grace is here.

00:48:34She's fresh.

00:48:35Kalani Jordan, you're right.

00:48:36She is now in the penalty box for 90 seconds.

00:48:39And that clock starts as soon as her feet hit outside of the ring.

00:48:43You see her in your bottom part of your screen.

00:48:45Jeremy Marcus, the official, is gonna be there to open the door when that one minute clock hits zero.

00:48:51As we are five minutes, five and a half minutes, excuse me, and change into this match.

00:48:56I mean, Jordan Grace has a moment here.

00:48:59I mean, this is the biggest moment perhaps in Jordan Grace's career here in NXT.

00:49:03She's a three-time knockouts champion, but she's a zero-time NXT champion.

00:49:08Oh, yes!

00:49:09High-impact offense.

00:49:10So let me ask you this book.

00:49:12Is she feeling the most pressure to win here?

00:49:15And she's looking for Grace under pressure!

00:49:17I think so.

00:49:18Without a shadow of a doubt.

00:49:19Oh, yes!

00:49:20That's why right now Jordan Grace is going downhill.

00:49:23And she's picking up Steve.

00:49:25That's the juggernaut, man!

00:49:26Check it out!

00:49:27Check it out!

00:49:28Boom!

00:49:29Yes, man!

00:49:30Not able to get the decision, and she has to enjoy seeing Kalani.

00:49:34That being Kalani Jordan in the penalty box.

00:49:36There's a lot of beef between those two women, but something to keep our eye on throughout the night.

00:49:40As we go up, we go over, and a kick out.

00:49:42Rolling right through.

00:49:43Oh, wait a minute.

00:49:44That's a submission.

00:49:45This is innovative, Booker.

00:49:46I've never seen this before.

00:49:48We can...

00:49:50A verbal tap!

00:49:51A verbal tap!

00:49:52We're going to hear it!

00:49:53Look!

00:49:54The zero hit, and Kalani coming right back into the matchup.

00:49:57And that's the dangers of that 90s.

00:49:59You've got to have your eyes all around.

00:50:01And you also start to wonder, as we're 640 into this matchup, you've got to go 25 minutes.

00:50:06Kalani, and maybe even Kendall, when does the stamina factor come into play, Booker?

00:50:12I don't think the stamina factor is going to come into play for Kendall.

00:50:15She's the youngest in this...

00:50:16Roll through!

00:50:17Roll through!

00:50:18Shit!

00:50:19Wait a minute!

00:50:20Another counter!

00:50:21Again!

00:50:22But it comes back to that 90 seconds inside the penalty blocks.

00:50:24I mean, that's an obvious time to catch your win, as right now, getting caught in an ankle

00:50:28lock was Kalani.

00:50:29Kalani rolling through!

00:50:30Center of the ring.

00:50:31Still no decisions.

00:50:32And right now, it is 1-0 in favor of the Evolve Women's Champion.

00:50:35Counter!

00:50:36Oh, baby!

00:50:37Oh, yes!

00:50:38Wow!

00:50:39Wow!

00:50:40Jordan now on the board!

00:50:42Gray to the penalty box!

00:50:44Beautiful counter, double counter there by Kalani Jordan.

00:50:47But this is what I was getting to, Booker.

00:50:49Now look at who are the two stars in this matchup.

00:50:51It's the two women that are, right now, just spitting venom at one another.

00:50:55Can they keep their emotions in check?

00:50:57It's about competition.

00:50:58It really is about competition and being the champion in this business.

00:51:01I don't think it's personal or anything like that.

00:51:03Not the way you think.

00:51:04That's true.

00:51:05And when it comes to someone like Jordan Grace, first time competing under this sort

00:51:09of stipulation, she certainly has game-changing power as we're seeing right now.

00:51:13But there's a roll through.

00:51:15Big time.

00:51:16Was looking for a pin and a nice short arm clothesline, but didn't relinquish the hold.

00:51:20Continuing to apply the pressure because Jordan has 45 more seconds in this matchup where

00:51:24it's just hurt.

00:51:25The strength right now just came to play from Jordan Grace.

00:51:28Blocked that whatever Kalani was trying to attempt.

00:51:34Big kick.

00:51:35Big swing and a miss with an elbow.

00:51:36That kick connected.

00:51:37Rocking the body for a second.

00:51:38Ooh!

00:51:39Big DDT.

00:51:40A victory here for Kalani.

00:51:42Jordan would put her back in front.

00:51:44And a kick out.

00:51:45Under 30 seconds though for these two women when Gray will come out of the penalty box.

00:51:52I got to ask you this too, because we're still in the early part of this match.

00:51:55Would you prefer entering early or entering later in the match?

00:51:59Would you want more time or would you want everybody to be more damaged?

00:52:02I want to see everybody.

00:52:03I want to scout everybody.

00:52:04I want to see what kind of, you know, opportunities that I can exploit it.

00:52:07As well as I can exploit it.

00:52:09Like you just said.

00:52:10Stamina.

00:52:11Oh yeah!

00:52:12Got it coming.

00:52:13Sleeping right there.

00:52:14Beautiful.

00:52:15Beautiful.

00:52:16And that was Jordan Grace who was watching the clock.

00:52:18Knew just when that door would open.

00:52:20It pounced.

00:52:21It's up and over.

00:52:22Nasty landing.

00:52:23And I don't mean for Kalani.

00:52:25I meant for Jordan.

00:52:26That knee right to the face.

00:52:27Crawl in for another cover.

00:52:28Got to get another.

00:52:29Another decision and another kick out.

00:52:31Because we're under 90 seconds until the fourth superstar will enter.

00:52:35Look at the knee.

00:52:36Right there.

00:52:37Right into the forehead of Jordan Grace.

00:52:39That was gnarly.

00:52:40That was gnarly right there.

00:52:41Let me tell you right now.

00:52:42Kalani Jordan, she's not going to let off the gas.

00:52:44She's going for it.

00:52:45She certainly isn't.

00:52:46But you just said this.

00:52:47How should superstars waiting to come in here be looking for weaknesses in others?

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

00:52:53Well, what should they be looking for?

00:52:54I'm not going to say stamina.

00:52:55You know, if there's a little take here.

00:52:58An injury.

00:52:59You talked about that knee from Kalani Jordan.

00:53:01Yes, you're going to be looking for stuff like that.

00:53:03Here we go, baby.

00:53:05We're up top.

00:53:0615 more seconds and counting until the fourth superstar will enter.

00:53:10You see the scoreboard.

00:53:11We're knotted at one.

00:53:16Oh, man.

00:53:18Who will it be?

00:53:26Oh, Book's getting hot.

00:53:28Oh, yeah, baby.

00:53:30Tallulah Green time.

00:53:32Educated feet.

00:53:33Going to work.

00:53:34There's no doubt she's the best striker in this matchup.

00:53:37Yeah, it's going to take a lot more than that.

00:53:39But right now, just got caught with that big back fist.

00:53:41Cover, cover, cover, cover, cover.

00:53:43And Lola comes in.

00:53:46Lola comes in and just like that picks up a fall, picks up a decision.

00:53:50Booker, she did that in less than 30 seconds.

00:53:52And right now, those feet of fury are firing.

00:53:55Ooh, Kalani may not want to do that.

00:53:58And Kalani may be thinking second about sticking her nose in Lola's business.

00:54:03Lola's been at the top of her game right here.

00:54:05Oh, here we go.

00:54:07Ah, yeah.

00:54:08Here we go.

00:54:09One more time.

00:54:10Jordan wasn't going to let you have any more fun.

00:54:12Ah!

00:54:13Big German suplex, though, from Lola.

00:54:14Swing and a miss.

00:54:15Lola catching Kalani.

00:54:16Double your pleasure.

00:54:17Double your fun statement with a double German suplex.

00:54:20And, oh, well, I bite my tongue.

00:54:23The floor is yours, Booker.

00:54:24Oh, here we go, baby.

00:54:27Ha!

00:54:28Ha!

00:54:29Hey!

00:54:30Hey!

00:54:31Hey!

00:54:32Whoa!

00:54:33Whoa!

00:54:34Whoa!

00:54:35And Lola Weiss turning things around.

00:54:37And she's done it less than 90 seconds into this matchup.

00:54:40Big side suplex cover and a kickout.

00:54:43Thirty seconds until we're back to a four-way matchup as Lola crawling over for another cover

00:54:48and another kickout.

00:54:49But I want to talk about how unique this match is.

00:54:51It's unlike anything, as I mentioned, it's elements of a gauntlet match, an Iron Man match,

00:54:55a championship scramble, the ultimate test of strategy and endurance.

00:54:59Oh, there's so many variables in a match like this.

00:55:02It's almost impossible to really prepare for.

00:55:05But you do have to have some sort of strategy coming into a game like this right here.

00:55:10Well, it's quite the 25 minutes creativity, the crux of what this brand is.

00:55:14Oh, wait a minute.

00:55:15Wait a minute.

00:55:16Shoulders are down and a kickout as the penalty box has just opened up.

00:55:20And we're back to a full playing field.

00:55:22And in less than three minutes, the final superstar will enter this matchup.

00:55:27Kimberly Gray has been impressed.

00:55:29She's been impressed.

00:55:30Whoa!

00:55:31She's been so impressed.

00:55:32Talking about stamina.

00:55:33I don't think she's going to have a problem with stamina, Vicky.

00:55:35Coming right through.

00:55:36Oh, baby!

00:55:37Looking for a submission right now.

00:55:38Looking to extend that arm.

00:55:39Trying to hyperextend the left arm.

00:55:41Trying to get a submission on Jordan Grace.

00:55:42Grace doing a great job of blocking that by not breaking the grip.

00:55:46Shifting weight.

00:55:47Shoulders down.

00:55:48And again, going right back out.

00:55:49Cutter!

00:55:50Cutter!

00:55:51Kendall Gray has sort of point.

00:55:53And you've got to go back to being in the penalty box.

00:55:55Gray has lost twice.

00:55:56She's been able to regroup herself.

00:55:58That's not part of a strategy.

00:55:59I mean, it is, isn't it?

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

00:56:01I think, you know, the last person you're going to prepare for in a matchup like this is Kendall Gray.

00:56:05I think that's it.

00:56:06I think that's what the problem is right here.

00:56:08Jordan Grace with a long walk as Kalani Jordan.

00:56:11If at first you don't succeed, try again.

00:56:13Looking for that.

00:56:14Ooh!

00:56:15Looking for that one-of-a-kind.

00:56:17Split-legged moonsault was not able to get it.

00:56:19Grace in the penalty box for just over one minute.

00:56:22Under two minutes until the final superstar will enter the matchup.

00:56:25Well, what is going on?

00:56:26Wow!

00:56:27Super German!

00:56:28Got all of it.

00:56:29Turning Kalani inside out.

00:56:30Big knee from Lola Vice!

00:56:31Lola!

00:56:32Oh, Lola!

00:56:33Oh, Lola!

00:56:34Double stop by Kendall.

00:56:36In the right place at the right time, Kendall Gray.

00:56:38Like I say, man, she's a special type of talent, man.

00:56:42There you see Grace trying to get a few more breaths to refocus herself.

00:56:46Here's the massive replay.

00:56:48What a sequence of events in this matchup.

00:56:50Lola almost able to pick up another decision, which would have tied this matchup at two.

00:56:57But I also have to throw this out of the six total survivors.

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

00:57:07As we're just over a minute from the fifth superstar.

00:57:09Oh, wow!

00:57:10Look here, man.

00:57:11Entering this match.

00:57:12Not just that, man.

00:57:13The pace.

00:57:14The pace of this match right here.

00:57:15The ladies are definitely keeping up with that pace because right now it is fast and furious, Vic.

00:57:20And Kendall Gray is in front of it.

00:57:22Trust me, man.

00:57:23Oh, wait a minute.

00:57:24Lola is a half-second away.

00:57:26Penalty box is back to zero.

00:57:28Oh!

00:57:29I don't know if it was seen, but Jordan Grace just kicked that door open and it knocked down and maybe knocked out Kalani Jordan.

00:57:36As Grace has come back in here, she's rested.

00:57:39She's ready.

00:57:40Look, man.

00:57:41There's no love lost in a matchup like this.

00:57:42This is a history-making match.

00:57:44And Jordan Grace is about to get her moment into shining the spotlight.

00:57:49Here we go.

00:57:50One more time, baby.

00:57:51Taking the plunge.

00:57:52And no.

00:57:53Wow.

00:57:54She kicked out.

00:57:55Swing and a miss.

00:57:56Lola Vaiso getting rolled up.

00:57:57Rolling right through.

00:57:58Back up.

00:57:59Kick got countered.

00:58:00Oh, my word.

00:58:01Jordan Grace.

00:58:02Beautiful.

00:58:03Less than 20 seconds until Sol Ruko enter this matchup.

00:58:06Looking for her first decision in this match is Jordan.

00:58:09A kick out from Lola.

00:58:10Yeah, Jordan Grace.

00:58:11I've helped you to hook the leg right there.

00:58:13She kind of got a three count.

00:58:14High cross body.

00:58:16Rolling through.

00:58:17Into the cover.

00:58:18Oh, wow.

00:58:19Jordan Grace has scored a point.

00:58:21And that's got to feel great for Jordan to pin Kalani.

00:58:24But here comes the final superstar.

00:58:29Get ready to ride the wave of momentum.

00:58:32Sol Ruko has entered this matchup.

00:58:35And now all the...

00:58:36Hey!

00:58:37Kalani's supposed to be in the box.

00:58:39No!

00:58:40She talked about that knee.

00:58:41And trust me, right now, Sol Ruko is compromised before she got out the box.

00:58:46Well, we all know that knee is obviously an issue.

00:58:49Everyone knows it.

00:58:50And I was just getting ready to talk about a big December for Sol.

00:58:53But we got to talk about Jordan Grace, who just got rolled through.

00:58:57Trying to take out two.

00:58:58Whoa!

00:58:59Looking for a double combination.

00:59:00And a kick up and a double submission.

00:59:02What a match!

00:59:03It...

00:59:04No, Brooke.

00:59:05I know we got a double submission.

00:59:10Referee doing his job.

00:59:11Kalani with a sinister stare on her face.

00:59:13But not like this for Sol Ruko.

00:59:15Double pin again.

00:59:16Double kick out.

00:59:17So much going on.

00:59:18Grace rolling through.

00:59:20And another near fall.

00:59:22Yeah, Kalani very happy with herself.

00:59:24Just unfortunate.

00:59:25I mean, I mean, the accident has happened.

00:59:27Well, we got to get back to the field at Frey.

00:59:3030 seconds for Jordan.

00:59:31I'm trying to get myself back into this match after what we just witnessed.

00:59:35Is a back and forth between these two women.

00:59:38Lola trying to sit down and another kick out.

00:59:41You know, and I guess to get us back into what we're witnessing here.

00:59:44As now we have less than 10 minutes in this match-up.

00:59:47What is the women's champion J.C. Jain thinking right now in this moment?

00:59:51J.C. Jain is thinking like everybody else is a hell of a match-up right here.

00:59:55Who's gonna...

00:59:56Who's gonna wind up the winner?

00:59:58That's...

00:59:59That's the question right there, Vic.

01:00:00Jordan Grace has gotta be feeling some extra...

01:00:02Oh, baby.

01:00:03But that clock is done.

01:00:05The penalty box is open.

01:00:06She's feeling it.

01:00:07This could be her moment.

01:00:09U.S.T.E.D.

01:00:12A man who put her in this match.

01:00:14John Cena.

01:00:15But he also put Kalani Jordan...

01:00:18Doesn't care about the people.

01:00:22Doesn't care about the locker room.

01:00:24Probably doesn't care that John Cena even put her in this match.

01:00:27But everybody else does.

01:00:28Standing switch though behind Lola.

01:00:30Meeting of the minds.

01:00:31Kalani rolling through.

01:00:32Shoulders down center of the ring.

01:00:33Near fall.

01:00:34Take a look at the scoreboard.

01:00:35But right now in the driver's seat is Kendall Gray.

01:00:38She's got the most victories.

01:00:39As everyone right now is playing catch-up.

01:00:41Sol Rupi may be wondering.

01:00:43She is not here.

01:00:44She was taken to the back from our medical team.

01:00:46After what transpired as she came into the match.

01:00:50And...

01:00:51Oh!

01:00:52Balance.

01:00:53Kalani.

01:00:54Oh!

01:00:55And kick.

01:00:56Still can't believe she blames Jordan Grace for her shortcomings.

01:00:59At Gold Rush.

01:01:00As Grace trying to dump Kalani to the outside.

01:01:03You said it earlier.

01:01:04No love lost between these two.

01:01:05But they gotta look past each other.

01:01:07To focus on the Mets.

01:01:08Oh no no no!

01:01:09Oh!

01:01:10You gotta be kidding me!

01:01:11Spanish!

01:01:12Fly to the floor!

01:01:13That's what all caught you to the wind right there.

01:01:15By any means.

01:01:16Necessarian.

01:01:17Oh my god!

01:01:18Look who's back!

01:01:19She's not gonna be held down!

01:01:22She's not gonna stop!

01:01:23She just ran back out here.

01:01:25We're at full strength!

01:01:26If you talk about hockey.

01:01:28The penalty box is empty.

01:01:30We're at full strength in this match.

01:01:32Sol Ruka smashing some souls!

01:01:35Stole one right there.

01:01:36Stole nothing dammit!

01:01:37Cover!

01:01:38One, two, three!

01:01:39Come on!

01:01:40Oh!

01:01:41Sol to the other!

01:01:42Sol on lower!

01:01:43Sol on lower!

01:01:44Sol Ruka has sworn two points!

01:01:46And just like that, Sol has changed it all!

01:01:49And there's the two women.

01:01:52The two women that are in the driver's seat right now.

01:01:55Lola Vice, Jordan, Grace said the first time two women have been in the penalty box.

01:01:58This match goes to 25 minutes.

01:02:00We're just over six minutes left.

01:02:02Who will be the women's Ironson Viber?

01:02:04Who will be the number one contender?

01:02:06Who will head to New Year's Evil?

01:02:08I'm so impressed with Sol Ruka coming back out here.

01:02:11With a bum knee!

01:02:12Compromise!

01:02:13Open!

01:02:14They might have slipped, but again you talk about the bum knee.

01:02:16She's fighting through the pain right now.

01:02:18She's fighting through it all.

01:02:20Another German suplex.

01:02:22Big December with Sol.

01:02:23Time is down on the side.

01:02:24Not just tonight, but also next Saturday in D.C.

01:02:26Saturday night's main event.

01:02:27She'll face Bayley.

01:02:29It's time to step up if you're Sol.

01:02:31And that's what she's doing on one damn roll!

01:02:37Sol is not going to be stopped.

01:02:39Big knee right under the jaw to take the lead late!

01:02:42Yeah!

01:02:43Oh!

01:02:44Breaking it up.

01:02:45Because look, Booker, look at the clock.

01:02:47Nineteen minutes, thirty seconds.

01:02:49Five and a half minutes left in this match.

01:02:51Sol Ruka went out there and she did a hell of a job.

01:02:54She gathered two points and she's going for another one right here.

01:02:58I don't know what this is, but here we go!

01:03:00Well that's one way to get in to what looks to be a dragon sleeper.

01:03:05Cinched in in the center of the ring.

01:03:08And now, Jordan, Grace.

01:03:11What's Grace thinking?

01:03:13Look at the penalty box clock.

01:03:15Grace right now, Sol with a double submission.

01:03:18Wait a minute.

01:03:19And the clock in the penalty box.

01:03:21Who's going to get that point?

01:03:22Whoa!

01:03:23There was no submission.

01:03:24There's no one tapping in the ring.

01:03:25A tap doesn't do any good on the outside.

01:03:27But Lola Vise getting back into the ring and breaking it out.

01:03:29Oh, yes!

01:03:30Educated feet, baby!

01:03:31Oh, yes!

01:03:33Well, didn't catch Jordan to begin with.

01:03:35Caught her the second time around.

01:03:37And now she's looking for the submission.

01:03:39Rolling through!

01:03:40No, no, no, no, no!

01:03:42Now another dragon.

01:03:43Big knee right under the jaw.

01:03:44Lola Vise.

01:03:45I mean, these five women came to play.

01:03:48All action personified right here.

01:03:50X marks the spot!

01:03:51So, Ruka's...

01:03:53She's on fire, man.

01:03:54Gotta think Ruka's the favorite to come into this Women's Iron Survivor match.

01:03:57You think so?

01:03:58You think so?

01:03:59I do think so.

01:04:00She came in five.

01:04:01The odds-on favorite coming in with all the momentum!

01:04:04Ah!

01:04:05Jason Gray!

01:04:06Into the cover!

01:04:07Is this gonna be a no?

01:04:08Oh, yeah!

01:04:09Wow!

01:04:10Making it up at the last second was Kalani.

01:04:12We're inside the final five minutes.

01:04:14Jordan into the cover.

01:04:15Wow!

01:04:16We got a three-way tie.

01:04:17Kalani Jordan has scored a point.

01:04:18We got a three-way tie right now, Book.

01:04:21And we have just four minutes left.

01:04:24Minutes.

01:04:25There's Sol Ruka.

01:04:27Not at 100%.

01:04:28She did pin J.C. Jane this past Tuesday.

01:04:31There's the rest of the field.

01:04:32And we have a minute 15 for Jordan Grace, who's headed to the penalty box.

01:04:36N.A.C.

01:04:37N.A.C.

01:04:38N.A.C.

01:04:39N.A.C.

01:04:40N.A.C.

01:04:41N.A.C.

01:04:42N.A.C.

01:04:43N.A.C.

01:04:44N.A.C.

01:04:45N.A.C.

01:04:46N.A.C.

01:04:47N.A.C.

01:08:22there is your winner and the new number one contender to the nxt women's championship

01:08:36kendall

01:08:39wow wow you gotta be kidding kendall gray the youngest some would say the rookie without that

01:08:48like mohammed ali it's 64 shot the world man shot the world you gotta love it dog

01:08:58wow the most exciting fastest 25 minutes in the wwe

01:09:06let's go back to some of this action this matchup solo can have left the match

01:09:10apparently said damn i'm not listening to the medical team ran back out here wow was able to pick up not

01:09:16one but two quick decisions that put her in the driver's seat of course and as a lot of superstars

01:09:23were sitting in the penalty box a lot of superstars were sitting there thinking waiting they were

01:09:27watching others earn victories they're watching others stack bodies stack points just like kalani

01:09:34jordan did right here to jordan grace this was such a matchup built on strategy stamina tactics

01:09:42we saw almost this moment here for jordan grace but you can't celebrate in this sort of matchup

01:09:48there's no time to do so the action continued to go as you see in the background the clock was running

01:09:54down lola vice picked up a decision that tied everything at two falls apiece but when the time was

01:10:00winding out when the time mattered the most this was the deciding factor that was the deciding blow

01:10:06and that is what made kendall gray the iron survivor and we now know the date is set for these two women

01:10:18the question is who will walk out of new year's evil nxt women's champion and i asked earlier

01:10:30what was going through the mind of our champion she sees the field she sees the winner and she sees who is

01:10:38next in line

01:10:52is

01:10:58食とは経緯の象徴だ

01:11:04盛り付け

01:11:05分かち合い

01:11:08それなのになぜこの食卓にはこれほどの無礼が横行するのか

01:11:15私とやり合いたいならそんなゲームはするな

01:11:22ウィストマニアベガス

01:11:25勝負は誰にでも開かれている

01:11:28ああああああああああああ

01:11:34私は

01:12:04is Drake Moreau born and raised in the swamps of Louisiana if there's one thing

01:12:10we know down on the bayou is how to have a good time in anything we do it and

01:12:14yes that includes whooping some ass and I'm proud of where I'm from and always

01:12:21dreamed of making a name for myself by becoming somebody that my state my

01:12:28community and my family could always be proud of

01:12:32but the more you think you got your life planned out the more you truly have no

01:12:37idea what's gonna happen next

01:12:45are you weak and pale ready to fail or tendon jacked ready to attack no feelings

01:12:54only facts that's for the start-o-meter to figure out pretty fast and today on the

01:12:59stud menu drumroll please

01:13:07this week on the start-o-meter its call is ranking legendary WWE tag teams listen

01:13:14its call knows the value of having a pump partner right by your side to pack up

01:13:19wins and push those final few reps at the gym if they're real Jim bro they'll have

01:13:25to pick you up with the baby oil in places you can't even reach and speaking of

01:13:29bros let's talk about the Steiner brothers

01:13:32two absolute dogs who wrecked everybody in that ring and just like its call genetic

01:13:39freaks

01:13:40tinted jacked ready to attack you might have heard about the Steiner math but to

01:13:45rank them I'm going to use its calls geometry so final verdict the Steiner

01:13:51brothers get a nine point three on the start-o-meter when it comes to gal's

01:13:57geometry you can't forget about the three-dimensional tag team and that is the

01:14:02Dudley boys one of the most successful tag teams in history their loyalty to each

01:14:08other was second to none but its call believes they should have spent a little

01:14:13less time getting the tables and a whole lot more time getting the gains listen

01:14:20final verdict the Dudley boys get a six point eight on the start-o-meter but I

01:14:25must testify I gotta find a new pump partner I'm losing gains by the minute

01:14:31all right cut it you don't get to see it's got feeling feelings

01:14:56this is where the future of bow wrestling starts

01:15:03WWE Evolve

01:15:07WWE does a great job of pointing people in the ring to the top of the

01:15:26right direction nowadays 26 years ago it was a very protected carnival business

01:15:32of like I'm not telling you how to do this because I'm gonna protect what I

01:15:38have and it was very secret and there was still the business is kind of based

01:15:43off of fraternity so it held the secrecy of a fraternity and nowadays it's

01:15:50great because we can get the best of people everything happened for a reason but it

01:15:54would have been so easy for me to find the place because the school that Triple H was

01:16:00trained at was like 25 minutes from my house growing up and I never knew it was

01:16:06there

01:16:08Tom Rinaldi's full interview with John Cena will be made available immediately

01:16:12following Raw this Monday on WWE's YouTube the week of John's final match it's

01:16:17Saturday night's main event in Washington DC on December 13th

01:16:24of January 30th

01:16:27I don't I was feeling so inspired after my first successful defense at gold rush yes the one

01:16:35that Zarya threw in the towel to help you win semantics darling so I'm thinking starting

01:16:39Tuesday an open challenge for my North American women's championship I mean this is the deepest

01:16:44women's division in wrestling so like the only reason you're still champion is because Zarya threw

01:16:51in the towel and yes this is the deepest women's division in wrestling and open challenge means

01:16:56that anyone gets an opportunity are you are you sure you want to do that you don't think I can do it I

01:17:05can do it I didn't exactly say that but look you're no Ilya Dragunov respectfully okay I'm more intense

01:17:12than Ilya Dragunov right you're also not like Sami Zayn Sami Zayn I'm more beloved than Sami Zayn

01:17:20and this all started with John Cena what's your answer just give it to me straight you know what

01:17:26sure I would love to see you try let's see if you can defend that title on your own you know what you're not

01:17:32you're not such a bad man after all thank you was there anything else you wanted to ask me

01:17:38just enjoy the moment enjoy it

01:17:42Miles born after the opening match we now know the Iron Survivor winner will face the new NXT champion

01:17:49Oba Femi in a title match at New Year's Evil now after your win on Tuesday you have the

01:17:54opportunity to choose when you enter what's your decision I'm not gonna lie Sarah you know I really

01:18:01was hoping to get a shot at Ricky who's always had my back but if winning the Iron Survivor means that

01:18:07I get another chance to take down the ruler I'll be ready so you see I try to be smart about this

01:18:12decision I thought about first I thought about last if you're first you get the chance to run up the

01:18:17score but you run the risk of starting fast and fading and if you're last you're fresh but you're not

01:18:23sure how far in the hole you're gonna be so I picked right down the middle I'm gonna come out third

01:18:28tonight is my time John Cena chose me to be an Iron Survivor and tonight I'm gonna make it loud and clear

01:18:35make it loud and clear

01:18:42fallout still being felt from our last contest

01:18:52bad blood still boiling tonight

01:18:54the following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT North American Championship

01:19:17introducing first from Cuyahoga Mexico

01:19:24weighing in at 75 kilos Mr. Iguana

01:19:34some of us remember when these first came out in 1984 the LJN superstar figures they are back starring the legendary Hulk Hogan rest in peace

01:19:43John Cena the greatest of all time along with Dusty Rhodes and Logan Paul

01:19:47and they're back in stores exclusively at Target

01:19:50now

01:19:52but listen to the sold out universe in San Antonio

01:19:56permit

01:19:58of course he couldn't let anyone have any fun

01:20:01of course he couldn't let anyone have any fun

01:20:05He is one half of the Triple A Mixtap and the NXT North American Champion

01:20:29All Eagle, Ethan Page!

01:20:38Booker, have you ever had a pain in your side like Page has with Mr. Iguana?

01:20:46Let me just say this first. Let's go champ! Double champ! Look at him!

01:20:52He's looking real, real good with all the gold! Great! Oh yes, man!

01:20:58Obviously, he'll be one-sided in this match. No, no, no. I'm not saying that at all.

01:21:02I mean, I like the page of Mr. Iguana. I mean, my thing is this. My thing is this.

01:21:08Why? Why are we having this match? It was a lot of fun. We had a lot of fun with it.

01:21:13But why is Mr. Iguana getting a title shot at that right there?

01:21:17Oh, the illustrious gold. Why? Tell me.

01:21:20I'm not the general manager. I'm not Avis. She's the one who signed off.

01:21:23Oh, now you tight-lipped. Oh, now you tight-lipped for a change. Oh!

01:21:28Why don't you go back and ask her, Book? I could use like five minutes as me out here.

01:21:32Why don't you go back there and ask her right now? Because this is the bottom line.

01:21:35It doesn't matter. Bottom line is this match snap. It doesn't matter.

01:21:38I mean, this is a chance for Ethan Page to go out here and shed one up once it falls.

01:21:43So, I'll ask you again. Have you ever had a pain in your side like Page has with Mr. Iguana?

01:21:47This isn't a one-time thing. No, I have had that. But my thing is you deal with it.

01:21:50You go out there and deal with it just like Ethan Page is going to be right.

01:21:53He's got all that green paint on him already. Come on, man.

01:21:57Mr. Iguana. A unique. Stop me. Have you ever faced anyone as unique as Mr. Iguana?

01:22:06What is it? Iguana play dead or something like that if they think they're in danger.

01:22:09I don't know. You'd have to ask Mr. Regal about the reptiles.

01:22:13That's the case, right? I think that's what it is.

01:22:16They play dead when they think they're in danger and right now Iguana is in a lot of damn danger here.

01:22:21Well, why isn't Page trying to go for the cover then?

01:22:23Wheeling him around? I mean...

01:22:27What's he looking at you for?

01:22:30Did he just say he was out?

01:22:33Maybe he heard what you had to say, Booker.

01:22:40He's dead!

01:22:42He's dead. He's dead.

01:22:44I wouldn't go that far, Booker. I mean, come on now.

01:22:46I mean, Ethan Page. Oh, yeah! Is he?

01:22:49Just sprung to life! Like, whoa!

01:22:52I don't like this guy.

01:22:54All right, let's just make that clear, all right? I don't like Iguana.

01:22:59Why not?

01:23:00Listen to this place. They love him!

01:23:09Sick.

01:23:10Listen to San Antonio!

01:23:12Why can't you have fun, Booker?

01:23:13Why are you such a...

01:23:14Why don't I have fun?

01:23:15Do you not believe in Santa Claus?

01:23:16Do you believe in Krampus?

01:23:18Can we be serious?

01:23:19This is a championship match, all right?

01:23:20It's for the North American...

01:23:21I get that it's for...

01:23:22This is about Ethan Page's North American champion.

01:23:24One of the greatest, if not the greatest, North American champion of all time.

01:23:27Well, he's about to lose it here.

01:23:29Crucifix style pin and a kick out.

01:23:31Mr. Iguana has never held a singles title in his career.

01:23:36Which goes to my point.

01:23:37Why is he getting a title shot here tonight?

01:23:39Can you answer that?

01:23:40I already answered it once.

01:23:42I gotta ask...

01:23:44General Manager Ethan Page not very happy right now.

01:23:47Page looking around at the official.

01:23:49But look, Mr. Iguana...

01:23:50You asked me why?

01:23:51Because he's stolen...

01:23:52How about this one?

01:23:53Because he has stolen the hearts of the WWE Universe.

01:23:55They want to see Mr. Iguana.

01:23:57They want to see him get the opportunity.

01:23:59And they want to see...

01:24:00Yes, Scott!

01:24:01Oh, DDT!

01:24:02Take care of him, Ethan!

01:24:04Quit messing around with this sucker!

01:24:06And get him out of there!

01:24:12I'm sorry.

01:24:13I'm sorry.

01:24:14I got...

01:24:15I let my emotions carry away.

01:24:16Right there.

01:24:17I'm sorry.

01:24:18Well, Ethan Page right now...

01:24:20Looking to hoist Mr. Iguana back into the ring...

01:24:23And do it in a very hard way.

01:24:24But Iguana...

01:24:25That's illegal!

01:24:26It's not illegal!

01:24:27That's illegal!

01:24:28Oh!

01:24:29The referee's letting it go!

01:24:35Ethan Page has got walloped by a Beanie Baby...

01:24:38And he just got high cross-bodied by an Iguana!

01:24:41Not right.

01:24:42This is not right.

01:24:43Cover, cover, cover!

01:24:44Title's on the line!

01:24:45Yeah, referee, you need to do your job, man!

01:24:47Is doing his job.

01:24:48He was doing it right there.

01:24:49He was letting him...

01:24:51And explain that it's not a disqualification.

01:24:53It's referee's discretion.

01:24:55As this match-up continues.

01:24:56Mr. Iguana...

01:24:57Whoa!

01:24:58Whoa!

01:24:59Whoa!

01:25:00Okay.

01:25:01Alright.

01:25:02That was...

01:25:03That was fancy.

01:25:04That was neat.

01:25:05The difference in NXT is what's being showcased here tonight.

01:25:07We can be serious.

01:25:08Three different companies represented.

01:25:10WWE, obviously, NXT, AAA right now with Mr. Iguana, but also TNA later tonight with

01:25:15Leon Slater as Paige with the right hand.

01:25:18See that?

01:25:19That big right hand from...

01:25:20Oh, yeah!

01:25:21The Can Man!

01:25:22That's what they call this dude right here.

01:25:25The Can Man!

01:25:26The Can Man!

01:25:28The Can Man!

01:25:29The Can Man!

01:25:30Because anybody can get it!

01:25:32Alright, AAA, SmackDown, Raw, Indies, ABC, CBS, Azteca, Telemundo.

01:25:42Anybody can get it!

01:25:44Well, we are live right now on Peacock as Ethan Page has turned this match-up right around.

01:25:50Big back elbow and Page is in control.

01:25:52Is it Halloween Havoc?

01:25:53He defeated another AAA standout.

01:25:55And I suppose that's further proof of his greatness, huh, Booker?

01:25:59Of course it's great.

01:26:00I mean, along with Justin Green, they're both great.

01:26:03Double champ.

01:26:04How many times have you seen somebody like Ethan?

01:26:06Oh, there you go!

01:26:07There you go!

01:26:08There you go!

01:26:09My Sol Rupo is just a double champ.

01:26:10This is Burnley!

01:26:11And everybody here is going to watch me beat his ass!

01:26:15That's right.

01:26:16That's right.

01:26:17Now Ethan Page is kicked in gear right now.

01:26:20He's in serious mode.

01:26:21He's not going to play around with Iggy.

01:26:25I'm spooning that short for Oguana.

01:26:27Yes, it is.

01:26:28And you need to say Mr. Iguana, because that's his name.

01:26:30Not just Iguana.

01:26:31Show some respect.

01:26:32Has Mr. Iguana coming right back in.

01:26:34And right now, he's showing no respect to the man who is the champion at this juncture.

01:26:38Flying through the air!

01:26:42Leg in my backyard off the fence on a hot summer's day.

01:26:46Mr. Iguana is flying around.

01:26:48And he's...

01:26:49Oh, look!

01:26:52And of course, you're going to be upset about this.

01:26:54Why do you find no joy?

01:26:55This is not right.

01:26:56This is not right.

01:26:57No!

01:26:58That's a foreign option.

01:26:59That's his hand.

01:27:00That's a foreign option.

01:27:01Brushing the fingers in the phalanges of Ethan Page.

01:27:03What?

01:27:04The phalanges.

01:27:05It's fingers.

01:27:06And that's walking the rope.

01:27:07That's talking the talk.

01:27:08And that's Mr. Iguana right now.

01:27:10Get me!

01:27:11Oh, yes!

01:27:12Getting powerslammed by Ethan Page.

01:27:14No pain, no time, and just business.

01:27:17Oh, yes!

01:27:18Oh, and Page.

01:27:19Ethan Page seems...

01:27:20He's fed up.

01:27:21Love it, man!

01:27:22Done playing around.

01:27:23Done being ha-ha.

01:27:24How you know, Ethan?

01:27:25He's angry.

01:27:26He's PO'd.

01:27:27He's mad.

01:27:28Represent!

01:27:29Represent of the barrel!

01:27:31And I hate to admit it, but Page is the best pound-for-pound wrestler in the world.

01:27:35What?

01:27:36What?

01:27:37What?

01:27:38What?

01:27:39Like I said, he's the best pound-for-pound wrestler in the world.

01:27:41Wow!

01:27:42And just, just how good can he be, Booker?

01:27:49championship in this cup.
