00:01And Book, can we agree the issues between these two need to end tonight?
00:08I agree 100%.
00:10Tonight is a big night for both of these ladies and one down in history.
00:18And her opponent from Texas,
00:22she is the NXT Women's North American Champion, Tatum Paxley.
00:33Well, you can see both these women not in their normal, it is he just attacked.
00:41Cheers to speak.
00:42Tatum Paxley, both women didn't even get inside the cage.
00:45The cage door didn't shut.
00:47The officials are looking over at our timekeeper.
00:49They can't even ring the damn bell.
00:51And right now, Izzy Dane is going to work.
00:56Yes.
00:57Come on there.
00:59What are you talking about?
01:00Well, Houston letting Izzy Dane know just what they think about her.
01:04And again, these women haven't even gotten inside the cage.
01:08The cage is designed to keep the competitors.
01:11Yes, take it to the street, Izzy.
01:13Take it to the street.
01:16From doing what we're seeing now, not allowing others to come in again.
01:19Pinball submission.
01:20There is no escape from this cage.
01:26But everything about that cage book, and you know it all too well, everything about this cage is legal.
01:32I tell you, the steel is not forgiving, Vic.
01:35I mean, you're gonna be scarred, bruised, battered in a matchup like this.
01:40You just have to bite down on your mouthpiece and take it, man.
01:45The official's trying to get Izzy to get inside the cage.
01:49Here we go.
01:50Is this necessary?
01:52Everything goes, man.
01:53Everything's necessary.
01:58And there is the bell.
02:00This is official.
02:01The door has shut on these two women inside the steel cage.
02:06Of course, Izzy befriended Paxley last summer, became jealous of her success, betrayed Paxley,
02:12rolled through to the champion, and a kick out costing.
02:15Paxley, the NXT Women's Championship in New York at Gold Rush.
02:20Izzy would beat Paxley at deadline, only for Paxley to defeat her at New Year's Evil,
02:25the same night Izzy would win the Women's North American title.
02:29And ten days ago, it was Paxley who would dethrone Dame, and it's now Paxley who has the steel...
02:35Oh!
02:36That steel chair, Izzy trying to run and hide, but again, there is no escape.
02:41What are you talking about running high?
02:42It's pinfall, Smith.
02:43What do you mean, right?
02:44She's trying to run away from Dana.
02:45Maybe she's gonna do a big move off the top of the cage.
02:48How do you know, Vic?
02:49With the fear in her eyes that you saw moments ago, seeing her opponent pulled that solid steel chair inside
02:56this steel cage,
02:57and now bodies are gonna be bruised.
02:59Egos are gonna be battered in this cage match.
03:02I'll tell you right now, Izzy Dame is definitely gonna have to go in a trick bag,
03:05because I would not want to be locked in a steel cage with Tatum Paxley.
03:10Not this Tatum Paxley.
03:12She's different.
03:13It's time to look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive.
03:18Oh, and Izzy now just going to work one after another.
03:23Both women using the cage to their advantage.
03:26And again, after all the, after everything I just talked about and all the backstage attacks,
03:32these two needed to be locked in a steel cage.
03:34Let's be honest about it.
03:35They need to settle it.
03:37And ooh, referee just able to get out of the way.
03:40I mean, the one where we're gonna have a definitive victory at the end of the day,
03:45a steel cage is definitely appropriate for the ladies.
03:48And right now, Vic, right now Tatum Paxley is letting it all hang out, man.
03:54Same can be said for the challenger in this matchup, Izzy Dame.
03:57And Izzy brought everything upon herself.
04:00Whatever happens, she deserves in this matchup.
04:03Again, sold out in Houston.
04:06Steel cage main event for the NXT Women's North American title.
04:10The champion is Tatum Paxley.
04:12The challenger is Izzy Dame.
04:14And again, both women with so much hatred towards the other.
04:18Crash and burn.
04:20Who is gonna be able to walk out of Houston with the Women's North American title around their waist?
04:29It's our main event tonight inside a steel cage.
04:33We are sold out in Houston, Texas.
04:35Who will walk out with the Women's North American Championship?
04:39The champion Tatum Paxley right now starting to rally in this matchup.
04:43And you have to agree Tatum hasn't changed as champion.
04:46Then or now, she stands up for what she believes in.
04:49She's a positive voice in the locker room.
04:51See how she was encouraging Thea Hale earlier.
04:53Well, I think she has changed it.
04:55I mean, Tatum Paxley has come into her own.
05:00She's actually finally figured it out.
05:02And that's a scary thing, man.
05:05It certainly is.
05:06And now it'd be scary if I'm Izzy to be locked inside this steel cage with someone like Tatum.
05:10The dark demons of her mind.
05:13Tatum now looking to...
05:16Oh, baby.
05:18Oh, yes.
05:19It's your championship on the line, Tatum.
05:22Tatum Paxley going for broke.
05:26Oh, and Izzy doing a walk.
05:28Whoa.
05:29Again, there is no escape in this matchup.
05:32And pinfall submission inside the squared circle.
05:35And both these women right now hanging high above us.
05:39But scary situation here in this steel cage man event.
05:43It is a scary situation.
05:45I'm afraid of heights, Vic.
05:47And right there, the ladies are up there.
05:49And they're going blow for blow, toe to toe.
05:51And I love it, man.
06:00A friendship, a partnership, shattered, broken, brought to this point.
06:08Steel cage, who's going to survive.
06:10Both women slugging it out right now in this moment.
06:16And for those of you in Chicago being preempted, NXT will be on later tonight after election coverage.
06:23And on the CW app tomorrow.
06:25But there may be no tomorrow for Izzy Day, Tatum Paxley.
06:29Oh, yes.
06:30I want to correct you on something.
06:31That was never a friendship here.
06:33That was an arrangement.
06:34And right now, it's all small build over to this right here.
06:39Who's going to, wait a minute.
06:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Izzy.
06:43Wait a minute, Vic.
06:45Looking for a steel cage size.
06:47Oh, yes.
06:52And do you see now just how vindictive Izzy is, as Izzy turning over.
06:58She's trying to crawl into the cover.
07:01This is it.
07:02Reaching her body across to the title.
07:05And no, no, no, no, not yet.
07:07Tatum still with some life.
07:10Go back and look at the impact.
07:12Not just of Tatum, not just of Tatum, both women.
07:16This takes it out of both competitors, does it not?
07:19That was a gnarly landing right there, I mean.
07:25Well, there is Tatum Paxley's mom.
07:27She obviously has a look of worry and concern, rightfully so,
07:32for her daughter here tonight.
07:34I mean, Tatum just whiplashed on that big superflex from the top.
07:39Shoulder first goes Izzy.
07:40She might have been able to put on the brakes a little bit.
07:42But coming in and putting on no brakes is Tatum.
07:45Tatum landed on her feet.
07:46Tatum right now.
07:49Flying through.
07:50Got all of it, Vic.
07:51There was no whisper there.
07:53Into the cover.
07:55Wow.
07:56Gotta give credit to Izzy Dame.
07:58Big time.
07:58Big time.
07:59I'm not the biggest fan of Izzy or the Culling,
08:01but we gotta put a little bit more respect on the name of Izzy Dame
08:04for everything she has done in this match.
08:06David Paxley landed right to the dome.
08:10I don't know how Izzy Dame kicked out right there, Vic.
08:14Wow.
08:15Both these women leaving it in the ring.
08:19And there you see the eyes.
08:22You can feel the tension between these two.
08:26As Texas starts to rise, sold out here in Houston.
08:34Both women know each other so very well.
08:37Swing and a miss.
08:38Tatum coming back.
08:39A super kick under the jaw.
08:40Izzy rocked back into that cold steel.
08:42And Tatum though.
08:44Oh, face first.
08:45Turning around and oh.
08:47Oh, baby.
08:48Just like we saw this time.
08:50This time Izzy.
08:51She was one step ahead.
08:52Bam.
08:53Just dropped.
08:54And is it Dame over?
08:56And it is not tonight.
08:59Izzy Dame came with a game plan here tonight, Vic.
09:04Almost executed perfectly there.
09:06Izzy in absolute disbelief.
09:09There is no Cullen.
09:11There is no Nico Vance.
09:13There is no Sean Spears.
09:15But there is that steel chair that Izzy brought into the cage
09:19before that door was shut.
09:22That's wild right there because Izzy is picking up the step on some toes.
09:25And step on some toes.
09:27And keep on walking.
09:28Jack.
09:29Oh, yes.
09:30Oh, yes, man.
09:32You don't need any other weapons in this match.
09:34What are you talking about?
09:35Anything going.
09:36Anything going.
09:37I know it does.
09:38You got to be able to pull the trigger.
09:39Is that right?
09:40This is what's happening right now.
09:41Izzy Dame is going there.
09:42Going to that place.
09:44Well, Tatum trying to counter.
09:46Oh.
09:47Tatum's spine first and her body just grated down that cage.
09:52Hoisted back up.
09:55And one more time.
09:57Izzy just continuing to overpower and punish the champion.
10:02And that is what the cage is designed for.
10:05Everything legal.
10:06As Izzy this time.
10:07Tatum trying to hold on.
10:09Tatum might be not only holding on for her life.
10:11She could be holding on for her championship race.
10:14Trying to squeeze.
10:16Trying to hold.
10:17The hold broken.
10:19And oh.
10:22Izzy was the one who landed on that chair.
10:26Code Red-esque.
10:28Oh, and Tatum now with the chair.
10:31Evil thoughts boiling through the brain.
10:35And right in to Izzy.
10:37Tatum now looking to take Dame on that long cemetery drive.
10:43That's it.
10:45One, two, three.
10:47Tatum survives.
10:50Here is the winner.
10:52And Stan, the NXT Women's North American Champion, Tatum Paxley.
11:02A standing ovation for those who are here sold out in Houston for Tatum Paxley.
11:13As maybe she has finally put away the demons of her past.
11:18And she can now look forward to the future.
11:22As the women's North American Champion.
11:26As the men's North American Champion.
11:27The opening is over.
11:29The ending is over.
11:30The ending is over.
11:33I'm out of here.
11:34The end is over.
11:35The end is over.
11:36The end is over.
11:36The end is over.
11:37The end is over.
