00:01Derek Sanders, the official, this one's underway, Book.
00:05And JCJ ain't taking full advantage right out of the gate.
00:09Yeah, right now, I'm gonna tell you right now,
00:10Zarya cannot afford to be distracted here tonight.
00:13This is a chance of a lifetime right here, Vic.
00:16Well, JC, I think, thought she was gonna skate through after last week.
00:21And then ran right into Zarya.
00:22It was a wake up call of sorts when she was confronted by the challenger here
00:26tonight, and you can see in her eyes she was hoping for a replay.
00:29Of last week, moments ago.
00:31She was peeking over her shoulders, peeking over Zarya's shoulders.
00:33Referee trying to get a little separation between champion and challenger.
00:37But this one's official, this one's underway.
00:39Yeah, Zarya just ran into a big shot right there from JCJ.
00:43JCJ did slip on a banana peel, and ended up in this.
00:46She's the best, she's the best here in NXT.
00:49Well, it's time to look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive.
00:53Zarya trying to overpower, rolling through though is the champion.
00:57Challenger having to push out, and look, Booker, do you think Zarya is in the right
01:01regarding her actions from last week when she cost Seoul her championship opportunity?
01:07Dude, that was just a lot of, I mean, so much pent up frustrations coming out of Zarya.
01:12And I'm gonna tell you, it's the best thing that could have happened for Zarya.
01:15Now, it's all about Zarya, it's all eyes on Zarya right now.
01:20What can she do with this moment?
01:22No, she stabbed her best friend right in the back on her best friend's biggest night.
01:26It's not about friends, Vic.
01:26It's not about pals.
01:28It's not about buddies or anything like that.
01:29It's about A, number one.
01:32I'm talking about it's about going to the top of this business and taking over, man.
01:36I get what you're saying, cuz I've heard you say it week in and week out, Booker.
01:39And no disrespect to anybody, Zarya's upset.
01:41Seoul's gotten opportunities across all of the WWE, not just here in NXT.
01:47Seoul doesn't make the decisions.
01:48The question is, does she deserve those opportunities?
01:50Or did she get those opportunities just because she's so hot?
01:53Did you deserve that?
01:54No, no, just because she's so hot right now.
01:56Is that it, baby?
01:57Did you deserve every opportunity?
01:59You talk about she should have let Zarya have one.
02:00Did you ever step aside for Stevie Ray?
02:02Let me tell you something, that's different, Vic.
02:04How is that different?
02:05That's totally different.
02:06My brother and I, we've never had conflict or anything like that as far as he was gonna
02:10be going into a match or not anything, who was gonna be defending a title or
02:13anything like that.
02:14No, no, no, it's not like that.
02:15We're brothers, man, we're brothers.
02:17JC Jane able to slither away like the snake she is, and she just got dropped by Zarya.
02:23Good shot by Zarya.
02:24Of course, Zarya has to get JC back into the ring,
02:26the only way she can win the championship pinfall submission.
02:28Zarya stepped into NXT almost two years to the gate.
02:31I was a champion, very, very, with impressive credentials, highly touted.
02:36And how many championships does she have, Vic?
02:39How many, how many?
02:40I'm not going through this again.
02:41Zero, zero, only thing she has, tag team of the year, with Seoul,
02:45Nuka, who do you think is sucking up all the accolades from that, who do you think?
02:48Whoa, Zarya was looking for that spear, and JC just saved by Lady.
02:55And now the numbers advantage in full force for Fatal Influence.
03:00Can JC Jane retain her title?
03:15JC Jane gloating right now, and Zarya paying the price.
03:19And Zarya right now could have Sol Ruka in her corner if it wasn't for
03:24her actions from a week ago, if it wasn't for
03:26stabbing her friend in the back.
03:27Because it's three on one, Senton from the champion.
03:31Champion continued to pick up momentum, follows up with a second.
03:34This time into the cover, and a kick out.
03:36I can tell you this, if Sol Ruka would have somehow made it here tonight,
03:40she would be in this match for the championship.
03:43Trust me on that, trust me, that's just Sol Ruka.
03:45She loves the spotlight, she's a hell, I love that.
03:48There's nothing wrong with that pick.
03:50Well, JC Jane right now, nothing wrong, I'm sure, in your eyes with these vicious kicks.
03:54And now JC continuing to apply the offensive pressure here tonight.
03:58JC Jane, like I say, one of the best, truly one of the best in this division.
04:03She's going out there and proved it night in and night out.
04:05All the naysayers, all the doubters, all the unbelievers, she made them believe in
04:11how good she really is by going out there and win, win, win, no matter what, I love it, man.
04:18This is the first meeting between these two women.
04:21And it is for the NXT Women's Championship.
04:24What a night it's been, the final NXT before NXT Vengeance Day.
04:28This Saturday, 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific.
04:31Not to forget, Countdown to Vengeance Day comes your way at 6 o'clock Eastern,
04:35streaming on Peacock internationally on Netflix.
04:38Zarya right now in control and trying to turn this thing around.
04:41JC Jane going right around, maybe looking for an abdominal stretch.
04:44Yeah, that's a pro right there.
04:45Slow it down, slow it down just a little bit, just a little bit.
04:52And would you contribute this to almost like in a game of basketball calling timeout when the opposition gets hot?
04:58I mean, you gotta think about Zarya, she's very, very powerful and she's gonna lean on that.
05:02Right now it's JC, JC Jane's job to slow her down just a little bit.
05:07Trying to stop the momentum, that's what JC's trying to do, Vic.
05:10That's been a back and forth battle for the NXT Women's Championship.
05:14And Zarya's showing that power, remember that shoulder, which has bothered her in the past.
05:19She went right into these steel steps on the far side of the ring.
05:21And this time JC able to get out of the way once again into that top turnbuckle when
05:25Zarya just getting ran over was the challenger by the champion.
05:31Just got mowed down right there by JC Jane.
05:35JC Jane right now, you can see the frustration on her.
05:39I mean, she's feeling like it's time to take this thing and get rid of this thing.
05:43Get it over with, get the victory.
05:46Let's go home, let's go party, baby.
05:49That's what JC's thinking about.
05:51That's her second championship defense in as many weeks.
05:54And when you were champion, I'm sure it wore on you to have a defense followed by a defense.
05:59There was no break.
06:01JC Jane has had no break.
06:03There's been no rest for her over the last week or so.
06:06I mean, that's what being champion is all about.
06:08Being champion is the hardest job in this business, Vic.
06:11It truly is.
06:13And you gotta be, you gotta be battle tested when you're in that position.
06:17And that's no better, that's no better than JC Jane.
06:21JC Jane right now holding on to Zarya, trying to keep Zarya grounded.
06:26Trying to isolate Zarya so she cannot use that power to her advantage.
06:30And look at this submission, look at the bend in the lower back.
06:33The strain in the body of the champion.
06:37Yeah, right there.
06:38Just right now holding and pulling on the challenger.
06:42Jane looking to make Zarya tap.
06:45NXT Women's Championship hangs in the balance.
06:55NXT Women's Championship on the line, JC Jane.
06:59You can see right now, she is trying desperately to hold on.
07:03Trying desperately to get Zarya to tap.
07:05Zarya nodded 100% after going into those steel steps.
07:08You've seen her grab her shoulder a few times, Booker.
07:11But you gotta start to wonder, will adrenaline start flowing through the veins of the challenger?
07:16Talk about that shoulder right there, JC Jane, she's got a bullseye, she's got a target.
07:20Where I don't think she'll be as well.
07:23Well, JC Jane said after tonight it'd be smooth sailing.
07:27She's gotta get through the rough waters of this match to make it a stand and deliver,
07:30which tickets go on sale tomorrow at Ticketmaster.
07:33The biggest night of the year in St. Louis.
07:36Will one of these two women be the women's champion on that night?
07:40Who's walking out tonight?
07:42Big Suplex of Zarya!
07:45Pivotal point in this matchup right now, you can see JC's in pain.
07:50Zarya right now, she's in obvious pain.
07:53And fatal influence on the outside trying to rally their partner, their champion.
08:01One more look, big impact for both women.
08:12And right now Booker, we're getting into the deep waters of this matchup.
08:17The U.H.I., we are in those deep waters.
08:20And the question is, who's gonna swim?
08:23Who's gonna swim the longest?
08:26Who's gonna swim the hardest?
08:27And right now, Zarya's breaking the fight, man.
08:30Yes!
08:31Huge headbutt.
08:31You know, I talk about Zarya has had championship opportunities in the past.
08:35She's even challenged for the knockouts title in TNA with the help of Sol Ruka.
08:39But this is her first chance at the NXT Women's Championship.
08:42And she's trying to make the most of it.
08:44And Booker, right now, she is rocking your rock star, JC Jane, who just got tossed.
08:50Wow!
08:51That's the strength of Zarya that here in these late stages right now can definitely be effective.
08:58With that big shot.
08:58Closed line, titles on the line!
09:00Whoa!
09:00And then, ooh, ooh, ooh, that shoulder.
09:03That was close.
09:04Just got off the mat.
09:05I don't know if you see through the far side of the screen, Fallon Henley said,
09:09Wow!
09:10That was close.
09:11And she's not lying.
09:13Take another look at just how close it was.
09:17A favorite influence with all the fans they want to.
09:19That's not gonna help JC Jane.
09:20Right there, JC Jane just kicked out.
09:22But that was like an instinctual kick out.
09:24But right now, still in the fight.
09:26That in-ring prowess of JC Jane.
09:29Wait a minute.
09:30Well, JC talking about how smart she is.
09:33She might not wanna turn around.
09:34She might have needed to get a little bit quicker.
09:37That allowed Zarya to get back into the game.
09:38Big knee right under the jaw.
09:40Champion right now is rocked.
09:41Almost looks out on her feet.
09:42Challenger.
09:43Man!
09:44Suplex, turning Jane inside out.
09:46And you talk about those deep waters.
09:48Who's gonna swim book?
09:49Who's gonna sink?
09:50And Zarya right now is on top of the world.
09:53Can she put away?
09:55JC Jane!
09:56What a knee under the jaw.
09:58And Zarya is out.
09:59Quick shot.
09:59Quick shot.
10:00She is not in another near fall.
10:04Man.
10:04What is going through the mind of the champion?
10:07What a knee from the champion though right there.
10:10I'm gonna tell you right there, JC Jane was so close to closing this thing out.
10:14So close.
10:16What a vicious knee.
10:21Well, if it's your division, you better prove it.
10:24Charge it back in.
10:25Looking for rolling encore.
10:26Spear!
10:29And Zarya now, just entering into that zone of destruction.
10:34Slide through the back, rolling encore.
10:36This time connects under the jaw.
10:38Come on, JC.
10:39Come on, JC.
10:41JC, Zarya, both women.
10:44Zarya!
10:45It's Soul Ruka!
10:47Yeah, hey.
10:48Soul is here.
10:48Did I tell you?
10:49Soul's taking out Fatal Influence.
10:52And Soul right now.
10:53Oh, no!
10:56Double Soul Snatcher!
10:59Double Soul Snatcher!
11:01Double Soul Snatcher!
11:06Let's take a look at the replay brought to you by Chase Freedom Unlimited.
