00:00No chainsaw.
00:03Just you and me.
00:17It's not over until I say it is.
00:20Tatum said a victory tonight brought on
00:23would be more satisfied than any other in her career.
00:31You have to agree with Brock.
00:33What do you think she's been put through by his debut role?
00:38Wow.
00:40It's all this that I've got is what I feel.
00:43NXT Champions should seem like that would have been the greatest
00:47triumph, the greatest moment in her career.
00:49Now please, this man, this man,
00:52gives you the danger of trying so hard to guide.
00:56I see what you want to do.
00:57I see what you want to do.
00:58I see what you want to do.
00:59I see what you want to do.
01:01My God.
01:01I can't believe you.
01:06There's pain bringing you to light.
01:26A blink by Sean Spears, Nico Vance, the Culling.
01:30Here comes the champion.
01:32And I'm pretty sure I know how you're going to answer this,
01:34but we've seen the interviews.
01:36We've seen the interaction.
01:37We've seen the frustration.
01:38Do you get a sense of fear anywhere inside Izzy Dan?
01:46Of course not.
01:47Of course not?
01:49Let me tell you something.
01:49She's not fearful?
01:50Let me tell you something.
01:51Fearful of...
01:53Tatum Paxson.
01:54Let me tell you something.
01:55Izzy Dan is the one who put this thing together, huh?
01:59Izzy Dan is the court.
02:01She's the Tom Brady of this whole damn thing.
02:03Man, come on.
02:04Well, we are set for a championship clash between two former friends,
02:12two former partners.
02:13Let's go up to our ring announcer, Mike Rome.
02:16The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Women's North American Championship.
02:28Introducing the challenger from Dallas, Texas, Tatum Paxley.
02:39And her opponent, representing the coolant, she is the NXT Women's North American Champion, Izzy Dan.
03:01Well, in this matchup, Tatum Paxley can become the second woman to hold the NXT Women's and Women's North American
03:08titles.
03:09The other is the current Women's World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer.
03:15It's a pretty good company to be in, is it not?
03:17Can we at least agree on that?
03:18It would be.
03:19Yes.
03:19It would be.
03:28And, whoa, Izzy, she's looking around at Tatum, jumping right on the champion.
03:34And the challenger wasting no time.
03:36And in the past, we've seen her eliminate those like Nico Vance and Sean Spears in the past.
03:42Those two men on the outside do not scare her.
03:45And that could be a big point in this matchup is she will have no fear.
03:49It's not about, it's not about that big.
03:52It's about being overzealous right now.
03:53Looking at Tatum Paxley right now, she's, she's gonna run into something, she's gonna run into something big.
03:59Thinking like this right here, trust me on that.
04:01Oh.
04:02With this combination of offense followed up by that drop.
04:04She's looking great.
04:05She's looking great right now.
04:06And I'll, I'll give you a point.
04:08Someone in a high profile matchup like this can run out of gas quicker than the other.
04:13They could, they could go too much too soon.
04:14Is that what you're trying to get to here?
04:16You gotta have a temper at whatever pace, you know, control the stamina in a matchup like this.
04:20And right now, Tatum Paxley, she's out of the game.
04:23I'm talking about, whoa, we're about a minute into this matchup right now.
04:26And she's sweating.
04:27She's sweating.
04:28She's breathing heavy already.
04:30And the topic of the women's division.
04:32Oh, yeah.
04:33Interim General Manager Robert Stone has an announcement tonight regarding the NXT women's title that,
04:39yes, you are right, Tatum Paxley has worn in the past.
04:42And she was wearing the championship.
04:44She was the champion.
04:45And but to remind me, who cost her that title?
04:48What are you talking about?
04:49I'll answer it.
04:49Is your name and the rest of the culling cost you that title?
04:51Can I answer that?
04:52Can I answer that?
04:53She cost herself that championship victory.
04:55It's unbelievable.
04:56If she didn't listen to the culling.
04:58The culling would take her places.
04:59She definitely could have gone on her own.
05:01You got to get that kick.
05:03Big kick from Tatum.
05:05Referee right now continuing to the count.
05:08Gets up to eight, almost had nine.
05:10Again, Tatum Paxley can only win the championship.
05:12Big cross submission.
05:13Big L.
05:14Cut the center ring and a near fall.
05:16Tatum does only victory over Izzy Dame at New Year's Evil.
05:20Let's remember though, it was Izzy who would beat Tatum and the rest of the locker
05:24to answer Thea Hale's open challenge.
05:26We obviously know who got the last laugh that night.
05:29I'm not taking anything away from Tatum Paxley.
05:32I've said it many, many times.
05:33Tatum Paxley's a hell of a talent.
05:36If she could just get her head on straight.
05:39If she could get her mind right, Vic.
05:40She could be a hell of a judge.
05:42Look at her cemetery drive.
05:43It was countered.
05:44And Izzy Dame trying to turn this thing right around.
05:47And O got countered.
05:48DDT inside the cradle.
05:50Nice combination.
05:51That was nice.
05:51Another near fall.
05:52Going right around.
05:53Shoulders down one more time.
05:55Another near fall in this matchup.
05:56But there's absolutely no way you believe that Tatum has robbed all her friends like
06:01Izzy insinuates.
06:03Well, Lyra Valfieri, she's not accepting any phone calls.
06:07How do you know?
06:09Izzy Dame, she's not accepting any phone calls.
06:11That one I'll give you credit for.
06:13That's Sean Spears.
06:14He's not accepting any phone calls.
06:16So, I mean, that's my point.
06:18That's my point right there.
06:19Nobody, I mean, nobody.
06:20It's not about friendship thing.
06:22How many times do I have to say it?
06:23It's about checks and championships.
06:25And until, and until Tatum Paxley understand that, she's gonna have a hard, hard road round.
06:31Trust me.
06:32She was a champion at one point.
06:33She was collecting those champions.
06:35And why, why, why she's not champion right there?
06:37Because she didn't listen.
06:38Because the culling calls for the title.
06:39She didn't listen to the culling.
06:41The culling won.
06:42The culling won.
06:43Trying to make sure.
06:44She held on to the culling.
06:45That's a hell of a commodity.
06:47That championship thing.
06:48A lot of money goes with it.
06:50All right?
06:51That was a hell of a boot.
06:52And Izzy Dame said on Tuesday, all she sees.
06:56When she looks at Tatum Paxley as the same broken, lost, naive girl who lives in a dollhouse.
07:03I'm sure you see it the same way.
07:05No, no, no.
07:05I'm not saying, I'm not gonna sit here and say that.
07:07But what's, what's not true about that?
07:09What's not true about that?
07:11Tatum Paxley, like I said, is a hell of a talent.
07:13Tatum Paxley could be still champion right now.
07:16But she wants to give everybody a title shot.
07:18She wants to play with that title shot.
07:20She's lacking with one of those fragile little dolls that she's doing.
07:23Hey, man, this is business, man.
07:26Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go,
07:31let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
07:48Is he in the culling, use that against her.
07:51Can you see it that way?
07:53What are you laughing for?
07:54I mean, how many champions in this business, you know they are.
07:58Behind, shoulders down.
07:59It's not about being kind, it's about going out there showing how good you are in the building at me.
08:04Crucifix, crucifix.
08:06Oh, oh, so close.
08:07Talking about being kind, you talk about doing it the right way.
08:10How about Tatum wanting to be a fighting champion like AJ Lee wants to be with the Women's Intercontinental title.
08:15Do you think Tatum Paxley's gonna win this match, right?
08:23I don't think she's gonna have to find a different route and unleash into the cover as the champion to
08:28retain in the kickout.
08:30But again, let's not forget, Izzy cost Tatum a Women's World Title.
08:33You've already answered the why.
08:35The why to me is because Tatum didn't agree with Izzy's championship mentality.
08:40No, no, it wasn't just Izzy, it was good to culling.
08:42She was a part of the group, man.
08:43She was a part of, and a part of the group, just like any football team.
08:47Everybody got a position to play.
08:48She didn't play a role.
08:49She didn't play a position.
08:51That's why she got kicked out.
08:52All right, Vic.
08:53That's why she got kicked out.
08:54Isn't the champion the one who makes the rules?
08:56Isn't the one with the gold has the power?
08:57Not in that situation.
08:58You're dealing with someone who has the lack of the capacity to actually make those decisions, okay?
09:04Okay?
09:05Well, Shawn Spears on the outside is the GPS, as you put it.
09:09Nico Vance, the X Factor.
09:11A variable that no one can prepare for.
09:13There it is.
09:14There it is.
09:14Who do you think gonna make the right decision?
09:15GPS?
09:16He's gonna get you there.
09:17He's gonna take you there.
09:18NXT Universe trying to rally the challenger.
09:20Tatum Paxley trying to counter, and she's got her own version of the abdominal stretch.
09:26And just getting overpowered by Izzy Dane.
09:30Big power there by Izzy Dane.
09:32And Izzy once again, this time Tatum puts on the brakes and able to counter.
09:37And these two do know each other very well.
09:39Former partners, former friends we've talked about.
09:42What is it gonna take for the other to put their friend down?
09:46To put their former partner down?
09:47Are we gonna see a new wrinkle in someone's playbook?
09:50You know, I don't know.
09:50But what I do know is, right now we're seeing two ladies go one-on-one.
09:54Oh, knees got up!
09:56And the best one is gonna win.
09:58That's what it's all about.
09:59Oh, yes!
10:00Izzy had it scouted, and what a backbreaker.
10:03Follows it up with that big senton.
10:05Into the cover.
10:07This could be it to retain.
10:09And Tatum Paxley, again, able to kick the ball.
10:12But this is a new wrinkle.
10:13Tatum Paxley's staying right down, and Izzy Dane is staying right on top of Tatum.
10:18Looking for this Boston draft.
10:19Try to turn it.
10:20Try out.
10:20She got to do it.
10:21Just turn it.
10:21Here we go!
10:23Here we go!
10:23One step!
10:24I don't think the cameras picked it up, but it's Shawn Spears on the outside
10:27who is yelling at Izzy, turn, and telling her how to do it.
10:30The GPS, as you call them, right there, is screaming at Tatum.
10:33If Izzy Dane could've got that right leg over the head right there.
10:36This match would be over.
10:37She would have the right position, the right torque on the body.
10:40This thing would be over there.
10:42Look at the body bent of Tatum Paxley.
10:48Trying to feed off the energy, trying to get herself back.
10:52And able to wrinkle with a little bit of that pressure.
10:54Holding onto that right knee for a moment.
10:56Ooh!
10:57That's one way to get out of the submission.
11:00And when we talk about Izzy Dane, who just got caught and rolling right through.
11:05And now it's Tatum through the Boston crown.
11:10Is Izzy gonna tap?
11:12Not all, she'll have it all, she'll have it locked in yet.
11:14And Izzy able to get to that bottom rope to break the hold.
11:18Getting in the back and forth between these two women, and Tatum has to spill to the outside.
11:24A little bit of separation created.
11:25There's no doubt that Izzy Dane right now is enjoying the most dominant stretch of her career.
11:30Izzy's looking good.
11:31Izzy's worked so hard, Vic.
11:33She's worked so hard to get to this position to become champion here at NXT.
11:37You gotta give her a lot of credit for that.
11:40Our official has his hands full telling Russ McCulley to move both women back into the ring.
11:45And this, to be fair, has been pretty evenly matched throughout.
11:50Big super kick under the jaw.
11:52And this could be that moment for the challenger.
11:56Tatum trying to rise up.
12:00And now Paxley firing back.
12:02She's taking Izzy's best shot.
12:04And now she is starting to weather that storm.
12:06Create her own offense.
12:08Another big kick.
12:09Right into that German suplex.
12:14And you know what?
12:15You can say no friends, but Tatum has a lot of friends here tonight in Orlando.
12:19All of the NXT universe.
12:22Nice step up in Segura.
12:24That was really, really nice right there.
12:26And it's all the love and the admiration of those people.
12:30Whoa!
12:30And it's fueling the drive for Paxley to become Chip.
12:36Izzy's right shoulder just getting off the mat.
12:40And a flurry of offense from Izzy Dane.
12:44And she came a half second from winning over this North American title.
12:49So close.
12:50So close.
12:50I don't know what that move is called, but it was somewhat of a modified hangover.
12:55You used to do that.
12:56You used to do that from Ryan.
12:57Beautifully executed.
12:58Beautifully executed.
12:59And as a matter of fact, when you executed it, I believe you used to go to the top rope.
13:03Maybe that is what came to the mistaken right now.
13:05Oh, yeah.
13:06Oh, yeah.
13:09Oh.
13:10Nice length.
13:11That 450 took a little bit too much time.
13:16And again, Izzy able to counter.
13:18Wasting way too much time right now.
13:20Izzy can pull off this superplex from the top rope.
13:23Here we go.
13:28Jock in for position.
13:30And Tatum able to fight free.
13:32Deep down somewhere, Izzy Dane truly believes that Tatum needed her to cry.
13:38She didn't.
13:38She just needed to believe in herself.
13:40Oh, wow.
13:41And the roll through.
13:42Izzy back up and bam!
13:44A drop kick.
13:45Falling right into the cover.
13:46Very quickly.
13:47Counting an air fall.
13:48Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:52Can we get another look at this?
13:56Adjusting for the 450, bam.
13:58You see that count?
13:59Hold on, look at this.
14:00That was three.
14:00That count, that was close.
14:06And you heard Niko go, that was three.
14:09It was.
14:09Tatum just, just, just.
14:13Able to kick out at the last moment.
14:16Showing you the heart of a champion, but what sort of vengeful, vindictive thoughts I've said all night are boiling
14:25through the blood of both these women as we're in the deep waters of this championship match.
14:47These two women letting it all hang out.
14:49Had a fight, Vic.
14:53Huge connection.
14:54Izzy with a handful of hair.
14:56Pulling right back.
14:58Tatum able to get that foot up for a moment.
15:00Answering back.
15:00Oh!
15:02What?
15:03That was Izzy's, that was Izzy's signature high drive.
15:07Tatum going up.
15:10Again, both women who know each other.
15:12Can she connect from the tippy top 450?
15:16What a feeling this will be.
15:20How in the.
15:24I don't know if she got all of that landing.
15:26I thought maybe after that, that Sky High-esque.
15:29Taking a page from Izzy to capitalize with that 450.
15:36It's all about the women's North American title.
15:39It hangs in the balance.
15:41And this has lived up to the billing of the championship hype.
15:45Gotta give it to Tatum Beckley right now.
15:47Looking for a cemetery drive.
15:48Second time.
15:49Didn't work out.
15:50Going right up.
15:51And whoof.
15:51Just able to hold on.
15:53Izzy turning right back around.
15:54Got caught one more time.
15:56Tatum trying to seek out anything and everything she can do.
16:01But on the outside again.
16:03Spears and Vance who are calling the place.
16:05Opening the door.
16:07And Izzy trying to overpower.
16:09Wow.
16:10What a cutter.
16:11That's it.
16:12To retain.
16:13That could be it.
16:13Vengeance day.
16:17You know you have been in these situations as champions.
16:20When you've thrown the whole arsenal at your opponent.
16:24What would you.
16:24What advice would you have for Izzy right now.
16:26As she's trying to.
16:27Maybe get some from Sean Spears.
16:29I mean Izzy's definitely in a situation.
16:31In a situation right now where.
16:34This thing could have been over many many times.
16:36But this.
16:37This is where you gotta dig deep in.
16:39This is where you really gotta suck it up.
16:41That's what.
16:42That's what being a champion.
16:44Is truly all about man.
16:46There's a look of fear in the eyes of.
16:48Is it aim for a moment.
16:49Oh.
16:49Telegraphic got caught again by.
16:51Tatum Pasley.
16:52Pasley.
16:53Right now.
16:55Looking to pounce.
16:56Up.
16:56Over.
16:57lexier.
16:57Well.
16:58Dalton with a power bomb to the floor.
17:02And it's gonna be the referee's decision.
17:05If these two women can continue.
17:07Look at Spears.
17:09Look at fans.
17:10Holy shit.
17:11Holy shit.
17:12One.
17:13Two.
17:17Two.
17:17Two.
17:20Three.
17:21Neither woman right now really starting to move.
17:24Tatum I guess for a moment.
17:25but Tatum's got to get Izzy back into the ring.
17:28That's the only way she can win the title.
17:30Referee is at five.
17:32Referee's still counting.
17:37What's Spears doing?
17:38The referee's still counting.
17:39He's not doing anything.
17:40Referee's at eight.
17:41The referee's still counting.
17:43Tatum.
17:45It's at.
17:46At the last possible second, but no.
17:50Man.
17:50And that just opened the door to Izzy to slam it short.
18:01Izzy is stunned.
18:02Spears is shocked.
18:04Niko's about to go nuclear out here in front of us.
18:08NXT Universe rising.
18:11Stay down, stay down, stay down, stay down, stay down, stay down.
18:17Izzy now, again, trying to overpower, couldn't quite do it.
18:21Takedown, caught the leg, and the center ring in another near fall.
18:25Spears.
18:26Whoa.
18:28Oh, Izzy works out Spears.
18:31Tatum from behind.
18:32Roller.
18:34Throat first goes.
18:36Ooh.
18:37Tatum.
18:38And what the hell?
18:40Like a woman possessed.
18:42Wow.
18:43You gotta be kidding me.
18:44Izzy just gets dropped.
18:46And now she's gonna take it then.
18:48Cemetery Drive.
18:50One, two, three.
18:52Tatum gets the ultimate revenge tonight.
19:16Listen to this place.
19:19A standing ovation for the new Women's North American Champion.
19:32The Chucky Spirits did his best.
19:34So did Nico Vance to try to suck in Taylor Paxley.
19:38Almost provided the ultimate distraction.
19:40Not only for the count out, the referee got him tonight,
19:43but then the referee almost counted the three.
19:46A standing ovation for the new Women's North American Champion.
19:49Or to prepare, get a gift.
19:52At the top.
19:53Shows through the new Women's North American Champion.
19:58Stalkers are amazing.
19:59Talkers are everything I see.
20:01Everything that was brought to you.
20:03I'm gonna take a sign.
20:05Like a vow come to life.
20:09Possessed.
20:10Said it would be the most satisfying victory of her career.
20:15And that is what she had tonight.
20:18And that coach had said.
20:22And it one goes out.
20:24One red and fire in the NXT Universe.
20:27Tatum instantly celebrates.
20:30As Tatum once again is a champion in NXT.
20:36You know what it is.
20:37How?
20:40Whatire is.
20:41How's the five-day herzlich shoot your hip to впrove to their eyes to them?
