00:00We didn't yet, it's been a busy night for our general manager Ava as
00:11Red Sinclair is set for action and led us to this one on one encounter tonight.
00:30It's gonna be a busy week for Sol Ruka because this Saturday in DC.
00:44Sol Ruka goes one on one with Bayley, what a matchup.
00:49And also as you said, Saturday is all about one thing, opportunity.
00:54Biggest opportunity of Sol Ruka's short career.
00:57And I look at one thing I'm noticing right now, no knee brace.
01:00So Sol Ruka seems like perhaps she's maybe close to 100% here tonight.
01:06Maybe so, we will find out.
01:10As this matchup presented by Progressive.
01:13You know, massive main event for next week was just announced, that four way matchup.
01:17And also, I don't wanna take anything away from these two women, Booker.
01:20But Tony D'Angelo, I mean, he took out Ethan Page.
01:23Saturday in San Antonio took out Javon Evans.
01:26I mean, no one, no one is safe right now.
01:29And speaking of which, there is Javon Evans, the Iron Survivor.
01:32He is facing the NXT Champion, Obafemi.
01:35He is not waiting for New Year's Eve.
01:37He's taking that opportunity tonight.
01:39But back to Tony D'Angelo, no one, it doesn't appear, is safe in NXT.
01:43Now Tony seems like he's back, and he's back with Avengers looking to make this place
01:48like his own little stomping grounds, and I love it, man, I love the action.
01:54And how much thanks should the Women's Iron Survivor Kendall Gray give Ren Sinclair?
01:59I mean, you take a look at Sinclair, who's got shoulders down in near fall,
02:02had to give a lot of teaching advice, had to coach up her friend as well.
02:06We talked about the NQCC, we talked about iron sharpens iron, and-
02:09Vince Sinclair got to have a little bit of credit there.
02:12I mean, here we go, here we go, that was close right there.
02:15Only a near fall.
02:16What are your overall feelings for Ren and, well,
02:20we talk about friends helping friends, there is Zarya, and we know, we know the history
02:25between Zarya and Sol Ruka, Ren from behind shoulders down.
02:29And look, you always talk about it, again, another cover, another near fall.
02:33It's not about friends, not about pals, not about buddies.
02:36Again, this time, the shoulders down for Ren and Sinclair, but there's a lot of history,
02:40a lot of maybe miscommunication between Zarya and Sol.
02:42A lot of miscommunication, but I'm gonna tell you something right now,
02:44Sol Ruka, she's got a lot of talent, she's got a plethora of talent, but the thing is,
02:49she's learning this business the hard way.
02:51On the job, training, you can trust no one.
02:54Here we go, Ren's looking for a win, right here, baby.
02:57Here we go.
02:59And able to kick out, is Sol Ruka turning right around and going to work,
03:02taking out that vertical base, we know the history of the knee.
03:05Now looking for a submission.
03:07What are your overall feelings on Ren Sinclair, who's received a lot of praise
03:11from a lot of different individuals?
03:12Let's get sick, the music has been so close to actually trying to get to that next level.
03:17Look at the submission right now, we know the relationship also between Ren and
03:20Charlie Dempsey.
03:21And look at the torque of the knee, the knee injuries obviously for Sol Ruka.
03:25You see in your screen, there's Zarya right there.
03:28Zarya had no emotion on her face.
03:30It's as if she's just looking out at just another person, so to speak.
03:34You know why?
03:35Because Zarya wishes she was in that same spot.
03:38Zarya came into NXT, touted to be one that would capture a championship very,
03:43very quickly, but it hadn't happened yet.
03:45Sol Ruka right now, the winningest NXT Superstar this year,
03:49looking to add to her total going low.
03:51Big elbow right to the spine.
03:54We talk about the miscommunication between her partner and her friend.
03:59It's gonna be very interesting.
04:01Zarya's still over there, how many more times Sol Ruka looks over?
04:04How many times can I say it?
04:05It's not about friends, and right now, you look at Ren Sinclair.
04:08It's about going out here, trying to get a victory, move up the ladder,
04:11put yourself in the best position possible.
04:14Here we go.
04:15I'm trying to say, it's gotta be hard to stay focused, not be distracted.
04:19But Sol Ruka doing a heck of a job right now, bouncing Ren Sinclair around.
04:24And there it is, snatching the soul of Ren Sinclair as Sol stands tall.
04:32Here's your winner, Sol Ruka.
04:40And also builds momentum towards Saturday night's main event this weekend in our
04:47nation's capital against Bayley.
04:50And take another look, it's just a thing of beauty for Sol Ruka.
04:53It is.
04:54Sol Snatcher, perfectly placed to pick up the victory.
05:02And Sol looking over her shoulder and whoa, hey.
05:04I thought Zarya was maybe going to come ringside.
05:12And again, the emotions between these two is now, well,
05:16Sol trying to chase down Zarya.
05:18I mean, now what?
05:24Why does this trio come over here right now?
05:31Quiet, please.
05:32Well, Fatal Influence has arrived, but why?
05:42Perhaps to send a message before New Year's Evil.
05:50This January, from Kaft in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, two epic nights.
05:57WWE fans are ready for Friday night's SmackDown.
06:03One historic road to WrestleMania.
06:07For the first time in Riyadh, the Royal Rumble.
06:12The weekend that changes everything.
06:15Tickets on sale tomorrow.
06:16Tickets on sale tomorrow.
06:39Look at you, Kendall.
06:46I mean, you're living the Cinderella story, aren't you?
06:51Going from relatively unknown to being the Iron Survivor.
06:56I mean, that's quite the accomplishment and
06:58you should be extremely proud of yourself.
07:01And
07:04take a piece of advice from your locker room leader.
07:08This feeling that you have, this moment, this is as good as it's gonna get.
07:15Because think about it.
07:17You have all of these people hyping you up and supporting you.
07:21Kendall Gray stocks have never been higher.
07:27Kendall isn't just the future, she's the now.
07:31I mean, truly, you're living the dream.
07:34This is exactly why people always say that they wanna do this.
07:38So they can feel that love and support that you're getting right now.
07:43And
07:45you know, I hate to be the one to say it.
07:50But your reality is gonna smack you in the face come New Year's Evil.
07:58Because your 15 minutes of fame are gonna be up when you lose.
08:03And you will lose.
08:07This crash, this downward spiral that I'm gonna send you on is gonna be catastrophic.
08:15And these people, they'll do what they always do.
08:19And move on to the next new favorite, the next new flavor of the moms.
08:25And then, where does that leave you, Kendall?
08:28Hm?
08:29Where?
08:30You see, no one else is gonna tell you the truth.
08:34But I have no problem being the bad guy.
08:39Potential?
08:40It doesn't win championships.
08:44You may have that Evolve Women's Championship on your shoulder.
08:48But holding this championship, this prestigious title is a whole different level.
08:59And you may have spent all year trying to make a name for yourself.
09:04But I owned this year.
09:072025 was the year of JC freaking Jane.
09:12I went from being under appreciated,
09:18overlooked to being the most dominant woman in the deepest women's division in history.
09:25And speaking of history, I'm also a history maker.
09:33I'm the first woman to ever hold the TNA Knockouts World Championship and
09:37the NXT Women's Championship at the same time.
09:42I am a two time NXT Women's Champion.
09:47You see, everybody realize this year, what I've known all along.
09:55That I am a rock star in this ring.
09:58I am the foundation, the glue, that holds this place together.
10:03So in what world do you think I'm gonna let some flash in the pan,
10:11bootleg Kurt Angle with a ponytail steal my spotlight?
10:16Kendall, sweetheart, rookie.
10:24You don't stand a chance in hell at beating me, you loser.
10:29Wow, that was a lot.
10:35Can I talk now?
10:36No.
10:37No, I'm gonna talk now, okay?
10:39Look, JC, you're right.
10:40You had a ton of momentum this year.
10:43But look who has momentum now.
10:44And I get it, I'm the rookie.
10:48I'm still up and coming, and I still have so much to learn.
10:51That's right.
10:53I'm teaching you.
10:54I'm teaching you.
10:55You're right.
10:57Okay?
10:58I do, I do have so much to learn.
11:01But no one expected me to win the Iron Survivor, and I did.
11:06And I even shocked myself.
11:09And now no one expects me to beat you, but now that I think about it,
11:16nobody expected you to beat Stephanie for the title, did they?
11:21They didn't.
11:22No.
11:22And that's what I love about wrestling.
11:28When we get in the ring, anything can happen.
11:31This past Saturday, I showed that I can rise to the occasion.
11:34So if you want to take our match at New Year's Evil as a joke, then go ahead, JC.
11:41But do you know what the best part about being the underdog?
11:46It's watching the face that people make when the underdog bites back.
11:51She's cute, isn't she?
11:56She's so cute.
11:58You see, Kendall, she wins one big match and
12:02then suddenly she thinks she belongs in the ring with the most dominant female
12:06faction in all wrestling today?
12:07What a joke.
12:10I know the Ren QCC is just getting started, but we already have a title.
12:15And then we'll have two titles, and that leaves you with one?
12:21But who knows, Fallon?
12:24Maybe the Ren QCC is going to make a clean team.
12:27Okay, all right, all right.
12:29That's enough.
12:31Listen to me, that's enough, Ren.
12:33Matching jackets doesn't make your little project here any better than Fatal Influence.
12:39And you know what?
12:40We have no problem showing you that.
12:42But don't worry, JC.
12:44We'll leave just enough for you to remind this rookie exactly where she belongs.
12:49And I mean- Yes.
12:52Yeah, you were just waiting for that to watch your book.
12:54Yes.
12:55Uh-huh.
12:56Talk it down.
12:57Talk it down.
12:58Yes.
13:00You just love what you're seeing right now.
13:02This is business, man.
13:03This is business.
13:04Well, Ren Sinclair trying to fight back.
13:07It's three on two right now, Booker.
13:09One, two, three.
13:11Whoa, come on now.
13:13And Ren's holding her own.
13:14That is not playing favorites or anything right now, but this is-
13:21You're not playing favorites.
13:22He's down right now.
13:22This is not playing favorites.
13:24This is the greatest vaccine in the history of the game right now.
13:27Come on, Dick Dunk.
13:28Dick Dunk.
13:30Dick Dunk, man.
13:33This is Fatal Influence delivering a warning tonight.
