00:09This matchup presented by progressive Lainey Reed goes one-on-one with
00:13Sol Ruka live next on NXT.
00:26And her opponent from Honolulu, Hawaii.
00:33And this could be the last time we see Sol without the NXT Women's Championship around
00:41her waist.
00:43As for her opponent, there you see Lainey Reed.
00:45Her goal tonight's pretty simple.
00:47Weakened Sol Ruka for JC Jane ahead of their triple threat match for the NXT Women's Championship,
00:54which takes place next week live in Houston.
00:57The missing superstar, of course, is Zarya.
01:01As the rest of the day, Lainey is thinking that if I could go out here and beat Sol Ruka,
01:08which I really think she feels that way in her own mind.
01:10Hey, that puts me right at the top.
01:13That's what Lainey is thinking right now, man.
01:15Well, are we on the verge of seeing a new side of Sol?
01:18This, of course, her first match since the betrayal of Zarya.
01:24Can we agree that Sol Ruka played Zarya from day one?
01:28Can we agree on that?
01:29I'm not gonna argue about this.
01:30Can we agree on that?
01:30Are we on the verge of seeing something new from Sol?
01:33Are we gonna see a new side of her here tonight heading into that championship match?
01:36We see the side of Sol Ruka that I've been to see since day one, and that's been all about
01:41her
01:41going out to becoming the best in this mission.
01:44I'm talking about Sol Ruka is working on legendary status, man.
01:48Well, that's fair to say, and wants to obviously make an example out of Reed tonight.
01:52Yeah, I'm not just fair.
01:54Looking right over to J.C. Jane in the eyes of part of that triple threat equation next week.
02:00And when it comes to this matchup, and I always start thinking of superstars had issues with other opponents.
02:07Do you think Sol's gonna be seeing Zarya when she's looking at Reed here tonight
02:12or peeking the outside and seeing J.C. Jane? Is Zarya that much on her mind?
02:16You know, I really don't think Sol Ruka's thinking about that right now.
02:19Sol's a, you know, in the moment, you know, type of person.
02:23And that's about going out there and showing the world really, truly how good she is
02:27in the middle of that ring and snatching your Sol.
02:30I think it's the one thing that's on Sol Ruka's mind.
02:34There it is! There it is!
02:37Delaney Reed a little bit of frustration as Sol now is having a little bit of fun
02:41and obviously riding the wave of momentum here on a Tuesday.
02:45Could carry that wave all the way into Houston against J.C. Jane and Zarya next Tuesday
02:50for the NXT Women's Championship.
02:52And how about those comments from Lola Vice calling her shot?
02:58She wants whoever the champion is in St. Louis at Stand and Deliver.
03:02And if anybody deserves a shot, it's Lola Vice, especially after Vince's day
03:06and that underground classic that she had.
03:09What a night and what a fight, Vince.
03:12What a knockout it was. Lola Vice victorious.
03:14Lainey Reed trying to figure something out.
03:16Lainey!
03:17Lainey now starting to get a little offense into this match.
03:21But look, how massive is this for Reed?
03:23You talked about it earlier, but can she rise to the occasion here tonight?
03:27Lainey Reed, the number one draft pick.
03:30Let me tell you something, there are levels in this game.
03:33And Lainey Reed, I'm gonna tell you, she's very versatile in the middle of that ring.
03:37She's so smooth in the middle of that circle.
03:40And I really think she could beat anybody on any given night.
03:43Well, Reed gave Sol quite the receipt the last time they slide.
03:47Look at the balance.
03:48Look at the balance.
03:48Look at the balance on Reed.
03:49Big knee following it up, this time with that drop kick rocking Sol for a moment.
03:53And it's been a long time, it's been a very long time, Booker,
03:56since Sol has had to compete with no one in her corner.
04:00And she is right now doing her best, showcasing her own power, and then a face plant.
04:05Shoots the half, into the cover, hook of the leg, and a near fall.
04:08I don't think Sol has any problems going out here, being a solo act.
04:13Like I say, she's looking to change the whole name of the game, Vic.
04:17She's so special inside that square.
04:19I'm so glad the thing is, everybody they're locking in the notes.
04:22Tag team main event still to come.
04:24There's Ethan Page, Ricky Saints weren't on the same page, no pun intended,
04:28this past Saturday at Vengeance Day.
04:30See if they'll get on the same one here tonight, as both women up and over.
04:33Worse for Laney Reed.
04:35Sol Ruka now.
04:38Taking a look, and flying through the air,
04:42sticking the landing right in front of the NXT Women's Champion, JC Jane.
04:48Watch yourself.
04:50Watch yourself, Sol Ruka.
04:52Don't get too comfortable here.
04:55Uh-oh.
04:57Fallon Henley on the far side, trying to get into the ring.
05:00Great job by our official.
05:01And opening the door with a double stop to the back.
05:05Face first goes Sol.
05:06JC did her job, so did Laney.
05:09And could that be the fatal- Yeah!
05:12For Ruka.
05:29Well, this is what you've been alluding to for the last several weeks.
05:32So what'd you call Laney Reed the number one-
05:34Number one draft pick, man.
05:36Let's hit that leg drop and back in control.
05:39Should again point out it was JC and Fallon Henley who had to get involved to
05:44open the door, so to speak, for Reed in this matchup.
05:48Laney Reed with that missing piece in Fatal Attraction.
05:51I'm gonna tell you right, my God, man.
05:54Since she came along, this trio has been unstoppable victory.
06:00Let's go.
06:01Laney Reed is so close to getting gold around her waist.
06:06It did it.
06:07Everything will be complete in Fatal Influence, man.
06:13I think I know where you're gonna go with this one.
06:15But when it comes to that triple threat match next week in Houston,
06:20how would Stone's decision of that matchup sit with you as Reed into the cover
06:24and a kick out by Sol?
06:26How would it sit with you if you were the champion, if you were JC James?
06:30Look, I know Robert Stone is trying to make an impact around here.
06:34I get that.
06:35But it's not right.
06:36It's not right to be put in that type of situation, Vic.
06:39It's not right by any means.
06:42And he knows it.
06:43He knows it.
06:44But like I said, he's trying to shake it up around here at NXT.
06:48JC Jane, as she mentioned, holds a five, six second victory over Sol Ruka,
06:52was able to lead with the championship last week after that interference by Sol,
06:58dropping both Zarya and JC Jane.
07:01And that's the decision that Robert Stone came to.
07:03And Laney Reed right now in the center of the ring.
07:06Look at the face of Sol Ruka.
07:08Look at Laney Reed though, she's so confident in this situation right here.
07:13That's confidence you don't see in someone who has had, well,
07:17the amount of matches she's had.
07:19I mean, she is obviously growing leaps and bounds.
07:22And you're gonna tell me it's because of one woman, that being JC Jane,
07:25is going around his soul.
07:27I mean, come on.
07:28You need a, when you got a team, Vic, you need a hell of a quarterback.
07:33That's JC Jane.
07:36First you don't succeed, try again, second super kick on the jaw on another near fall.
07:44Laney Reed with JC Jane on the outside is weakening Sol Ruka.
07:49This only plays into the hand of the champion going into next week if, well,
07:53one of the members in that matchup is beaten down.
07:56Yeah.
07:57A little worse for wear.
07:57Let's not forget about Val and the enemy, man.
08:00I'm sharp inside.
08:02You know, right now, that's what that team, that trio is all, check it out.
08:07Check out Lady Reed.
08:09Awesome mission locked in right now, Bulk.
08:12And is Sol Ruka gonna tap?
08:13Sol certainly doesn't wanna tap.
08:16That wouldn't be good for her psyche, heading into that championship match next week.
08:22NXT Universe trying to rally behind Sol Ruka.
08:26Able to break the hands for a moment.
08:28Sol trying to navigate her way free.
08:34Trying to fully break.
08:36And Lady Reed sensed it.
08:37Planted Sol, cover, and still not enough.
08:48Lainey Reed has been able to ground Sol Ruka over the last few minutes of this
08:52matchup at the NXT Universe right now.
08:54Trying to get Ruka back on a wave of momentum.
08:57Big drop kick sending Lainey right back into the corner.
09:00One would assume JC has something up her sleeve.
09:03What are you talking about?
09:04Tonight heading into next week.
09:05What are you talking about?
09:05What do you mean what do I talk about?
09:06Do you think she plays by the book?
09:07This has been a one on one contest from the outset.
09:11What are you talking about?
09:12You didn't see before the commercial break when Fallon Henley got on one side.
09:15JC tried to slither her way in and then had to slither her way out because the referee was distracted.
09:19Did anybody touch anybody?
09:20Did anybody touch anybody?
09:21Did anybody touch anybody?
09:21Nobody.
09:21Nobody touched anybody, right?
09:23What are you talking about?
09:24No, no.
09:25Ooh.
09:26Well, Lainey Reed getting all that kick and setting it up with-
09:28Yes!
09:29Sol, Zarya, Jain, triple threat for the women's title next week in Houston.
09:35Sol does not want to suffer an L tonight and just able to kick out.
09:40Lainey Reed, y'all always say, man, that level to this game.
09:45And Lainey Reed is definitely living up to all of my expectations, of course,
09:50me calling her that number one draft pick.
09:52I'm gonna tell you right now, Fatal Influence picked a good one right here, Vic.
09:56We're seeing on social media a lot of regions of the country dealing with weather in their area right now,
10:02preempting NXT.
10:04Hopefully, we'll be able to match later tonight around the CW app tomorrow because what a night it has been.
10:10We've heard from Tony D'Angelo.
10:12We had a hell of a triple threat match to kick us off, unfortunately, for what happened in front of
10:16us.
10:16As there is Zarya looking on, we talk about next week.
10:20You gotta wonder what's going through her mind right now with that triple threat.
10:24And he brought up Fallon Henley.
10:25Fallon will be busy next week as well, defending her speed title.
10:28Will it be Fiehael or Ren Sinclair?
10:31We're gonna find out the number one contender also here tonight as both women back up.
10:36And Lainey Reed right now trying to slug it out with Sol Ruka.
10:41Going toe to toe, Vic.
10:43That's a little southern hospitality from Lainey Reed, but back comes Sorrell.
10:47Kick to the midsection.
10:49And now following up combination offense.
10:51And Sol Ruka, big uppercut.
10:56And Sol starting to feel it right now.
11:00And you know she'd love to pick up a victory, love to start putting Zarya behind her,
11:04love to pick up momentum heading into next week.
11:06But you gotta wonder next week, will she be focused on her former friend,
11:10or focused on becoming the NXT Women's Champion?
11:14All the spice on his way up.
11:17Where will her focus be?
11:21And giving a knee right back to Lainey in a near fall.
11:25That was the same sort of knee, any sort of receipt that Reed gave Sol just a few days ago.
11:33But now Sol Ruka on the outside, both these women really bringing the fight here tonight.
11:37Lainey in the drop zone right here, Vic.
11:40A little bit too much time to give credit to Sol Ruka.
11:43Give credit to Lainey Reed.
11:45Sit down, cover it.
11:48Cuz you're right Booker, you said it earlier.
11:50You're able to knock off someone like Sol Ruka at this juncture.
11:53You put yourself in contention for a championship.
11:57You put your name on the map.
11:58That counter right there from Lainey Reed, I must say just watching her here for my disposition.
12:02She did everything right, even the cover.
12:05But Sol Ruka just had enough to kick out there, Vic.
12:09Stay on it right now, Lainey.
12:11What a victory.
12:11Backup maybe looking for that submission one more time.
12:14Counting though, Sol Ruka rolling right through.
12:16And another near-
12:17Stand in drop zone.
12:18X Factor.
12:20X marks the spot for Sol.
12:24And Sol now just peered over and looked at JC Jane.
12:30And maybe, just maybe, showing the champion what's in store.
12:37Well, excuse me.
12:39You tell yourself a kick.
12:40I mean, Lainey Reed had the, the strength to kick out right there.
12:45But what-
12:45Unbelievable.
12:46What I'm thinking right now is how smart she is,
12:49staying away from those corners, staying away from that drop zone.
12:53Sol's trying to corral her to that position, and she just, she's smart enough to stay out of it.
12:58Lainey holding on for dear life in that moment.
13:01And really bringing it out to him.
13:03I'm seeing a new side, I think, as are a lot of people.
13:05Yeah.
13:07Wow.
13:08And you gotta consider this an upset.
13:09If Lainey's able to pull out the victory, big kick though by Sol,
13:12Reed Rock one more time.
13:13It will be an upset.
13:15Back in, got caught, got countered.
13:18It's Sol now.
13:20Trying to turn things around.
13:22Sol Ruka's been in a battle in this matchup.
13:24Fatigue is setting in right now, too.
13:27Oh, yeah.
13:27She's gonna have to pull out something quick, and she's gonna do it.
13:31They got caught again.
13:32No, no, no.
13:33Lainey now.
13:35Locked in.
13:38Up, over, crucifix.
13:40Wow.
13:43And this is what she did the other night, looking to give Sol a receipt.
13:48Closing in on the biggest win of the career.
13:50Oh, it was countered.
13:51Shoulders down.
13:52Sol pops up.
13:53Get you some.
13:55Wow.
13:58And just like that, Ruka smashes another Sol.
14:03Here is your winner, Sol Ruka.
14:08Take nothing, though.
14:11Nothing away from Lainey Reid tonight.
14:15That was a star-making performance against one of the best NXT halves.
14:21Sol Ruka, though, back on the board as she gets ready for a championship match next week.
14:28Was looking for that big knee, trying to get that receipt countered, and then quickly, in a moment's notice, able
14:37to change game plan just like that for Sol Ruka.
14:46And it will be a triple threat next week, and will be, in Houston, can Sol snatch the Women's Championship
14:56from Zarya and the NXT Women's Champion, JCJ.
15:02comme ça, la 2 passe.
15:02.
15:02.
15:02.
15:02.
15:03.
