00:24The Rockstar
00:26J.C.J.
00:29There's a shout out here today baby
00:34And now put it
00:36Representing
00:37Fatal Influence
00:39She is
00:40The NXT Women's Champion
00:43J.C.J.
00:47I know you're excited but you better not get too out of control
00:50Because the queen is sitting right here right now
00:52This is all my business
00:53This is all my business
00:54That we have to offer right here
00:56In NXT
00:57Someone who had
00:58A hell of a
00:592025
01:012026
01:01Oh it's about
01:03To blow up
01:04In this smoke
01:06Oh yes man
01:07It could be a long night
01:11For Fatal Influence
01:12Because this trio
01:13Could have
01:14No gold
01:15By the end of the night
01:16And yeah that includes
01:17Fallon Henley
01:18Shout out right there
01:20I tell you
01:22I tell you Lady Reed
01:23She's the number one draft pick
01:25She's looking good
01:27Fallon Henley will defend the
01:29Women's speed title
01:30Later on tonight
01:31But the bell has sounded
01:33This one is official
01:35Soap in this moment for these three women
01:40Go Ruga
01:43Go Ruga
01:44Go Ruga
01:45Go Ruga
01:47Go Ruga
01:48Go Ruga
01:48Go Ruga
01:48Go Ruga
01:49You hear that
01:49Here and I see JC Jayne taking a few steps back
01:52But just caught Zara with a super kick
01:54And Sol
01:55Coming right in
01:56On the champion
01:57And I'll ask you this too
01:58U upfront this match
01:59Will Sol or Zaria for that matter
02:01Be able to put the title
02:03over their personal animosity
02:04for one another as Jane rolls into the cover.
02:06They're gonna have to.
02:08Let me tell you something. Zaria has, like I said,
02:10a chance of a lifetime. She's not gonna have to think about
02:12friends or anything. Now they're covered.
02:14Wow. Look at this bridge.
02:17Beautiful. Beautiful.
02:17Sol Ruka trying to turn it around, looking for the backslide,
02:20shoulders down, and a kickout, as you were saying.
02:23No, no, like I'm saying,
02:25Zaria, like I said,
02:26this could be that one chance
02:28if she doesn't get this win right here tonight.
02:30What is that gonna do to a confident?
02:32What is he gonna do, Vic?
02:33Right now, just catching Sol Ruka's
02:36center of the ring, and I take it this is not
02:38one of Stone's decisions
02:40that you would like to have this. Of course not.
02:42Of course not. I mean, of course Stone is
02:44trying to do the job for the brass
02:46up top, all the suits up there.
02:48But let me tell you something. For JCJ,
02:50this is not a good idea.
02:52Sol Ruka trying to fight off, as I mentioned,
02:54the women's speed title to be defended.
02:56We know the Steel Cage main event.
02:58This kicks us off. This is the first of three
03:00women's championship matches here tonight.
03:02And Sol Ruka right now
03:03navigating her way free for a moment,
03:06and then what a knee.
03:07JCJ taken back over in this matchup.
03:10Beautiful right there.
03:12Get the cover. Get the cover.
03:13He did so.
03:14Oh, and Sol Ruka flying.
03:17Could this be enough?
03:19Do we have a new champion?
03:21JCJ.
03:22I was afraid JCJ got all the air
03:24knocked out of her body right there.
03:25Maybe so. I mean, take a look at this.
03:27JCJ.
03:28And again, this is the danger
03:29of this sort of matchup,
03:31this triple threat match.
03:32There is no champion's advantage.
03:35JCJ does not need to be factored
03:36in the decision to lose her title.
03:38I mean, let's go back to Robert Stone
03:39here for a second.
03:40I mean, Zarya and Sol Ruka,
03:41they were just tag team partners
03:43just a minute ago, right?
03:44Why is this happening?
03:46This is not fair, right?
03:47You can agree with me on that, right?
03:49Come on, big.
03:50And holy hell!
03:53There's a lot of spinning and flipping
03:54in Sol Ruka.
03:57Hell or high water was able
03:58to get the job done
03:59and wipe out the field,
04:01and look who's standing.
04:06Oh, Jane from behind,
04:07but it is wiped out Sol.
04:09Not standing anymore, big.
04:11You can say that again,
04:12but there's Zarya from behind,
04:13and this is that strength advantage
04:14she's going to have.
04:16And Book, when you take a look
04:17at the field,
04:17who will be the most motivated
04:19of the three?
04:20Will it be Sol to continue
04:22to ride a wave of momentum?
04:23Jane to keep her reign of terror going,
04:25or will it be Zarya to prove
04:27she has been held back?
04:29Who's leaving Houston
04:30Women's Champion?
04:59whoever you're watching around the world,
05:00we are sold out in Houston, Texas,
05:02this NXT triple threat match
05:04for the Women's title,
05:05the champion into the cover,
05:07and a kickout.
05:07And I was asking you
05:08before the break,
05:09who do you honestly think
05:10will be the most motivated
05:12of the three superstars?
05:13You know, in my humble opinion,
05:14there's got to be Zarya.
05:15I mean, Zarya,
05:16she debuted here
05:17in October 2024.
05:19How many North American championships?
05:21Zero.
05:21How many tag team championships?
05:23Zero.
05:23How many NXT championships?
05:25Zero.
05:26That's what I'm talking about.
05:27If she's not motivated
05:28to go out here
05:29and put friendship aside tonight,
05:31she's never going to be able to do it.
05:33That's my opinion.
05:34That's my opinion.
05:34Our former partner
05:35is able to kick out at two.
05:38And you start looking at J.C. Jane.
05:40I mean, Jane taking control
05:41of this matchup.
05:42It's really,
05:44you take a look
05:44at the numbers advantage
05:45with Fatal Influence
05:46on the outside.
05:47What are you talking about?
05:47There's nothing.
05:48Fatal Influence is just out here.
05:49They're not,
05:49I mean, it's no numbers game.
05:50What are you talking about?
05:51The numbers game
05:52is in the middle of this square circle.
05:54Zarya and Sol Ruka.
05:56Come on, man.
05:57Come on.
05:58You know how to spin a story.
05:59I'll tell you that much, Book.
06:00So, as you hear the NXT address
06:03That's a fact.
06:04Starting to come to life.
06:05Zarya wiped out on the outside.
06:07And this is the best chance
06:08for J.C. Jane now
06:09in a one-on-one situation,
06:11is it not?
06:11Can we agree on that?
06:12I wouldn't necessarily say that.
06:13I mean, J.C. Jane
06:14has been her weapon
06:15in this business
06:16as far as going down
06:17and becoming the knockout
06:19world champion.
06:20I mean,
06:21North American champion.
06:22NXT, she's done it all.
06:24She's done it all, man.
06:25What are you talking about?
06:26I just said
06:27it would be her best chance
06:28to win
06:28since she just had
06:29soul in the ring
06:30all by herself.
06:30I don't know
06:31what you thought I asked you
06:32is now Zarya
06:32back into the matchup.
06:34Obviously, Booker,
06:35she will have the
06:36power advantage
06:37in this match.
06:39Let me tell you something.
06:41Zarya,
06:41since day one,
06:42like I said,
06:43she gave me a
06:43very, very highly touted.
06:45And for me,
06:46I thought Zarya
06:47would have had
06:47at least a couple of championships
06:49under her belt.
06:50But it goes back to
06:51wait a minute.
06:52It's not a cradle.
06:53It goes back to
06:54that friendship thing.
06:55It doesn't work in this...
06:56How many times have I said it?
06:57Say it all the time.
06:58How many times have I said it?
06:59Every single week.
06:59How many times have I said it?
07:00Every single week.
07:01Exactly my point.
07:03You just want me to agree with you?
07:04I know it's your night,
07:05but at some point
07:05I'm going to start arguing with you.
07:06I got you to agree
07:07three times right now.
07:08Yeah, we've about reached
07:09the limit at this juncture
07:11in the evening.
07:13Triple threat again.
07:14J.C. Jane does not need
07:16to be factored in the decision
07:17to lose her title,
07:18but Sol Rook has been
07:19isolated on the outside.
07:21And this has turned into
07:22Jane and Zarya.
07:23One-on-one.
07:24And if it breaks down
07:25to a slugfest,
07:26I'd give the advantage
07:27to Zarya.
07:28But in this opening contest,
07:30it's all about
07:30the NXT women's title.
07:34Let's go!
07:35Let's go!
07:35Let's go!
07:35Let's go!
07:36Let's go!
07:36Let's go!
07:37Triple threat match
07:38kicking us off here on NXT
07:39for the women's championship.
07:41Sol Rooka back up,
07:42and Sol Rooka
07:43takes down the field.
07:45And you gotta think, too,
07:46Book, no matter who wins,
07:48as we still have a huge
07:49six-man tag team match
07:50still to come.
07:51That is Los Americanos
07:52showing they've had a busy time
07:54and a little bit of groove.
07:56They're still on the caffeine kick,
07:58so to speak.
07:58They were at AAA on Saturday,
08:00Monday Night Raw last night,
08:01NXT here tonight.
08:02German suplex by Sol Rooka
08:03turning the champion inside out.
08:05As I was saying,
08:07no matter who wins,
08:08the locker room is lining up
08:10to face the winner.
08:11Stand and deliver.
08:11April 4th, St. Louis,
08:13live on YouTube.
08:15And now this is what
08:18Houston has been waiting for.
08:20Two former partners.
08:22Two former friends.
08:25Squaring up and fighting
08:27for the women's title.
08:30Here we go!
08:31We're one of these two
08:32here on our biggest night
08:34of the year.
08:34Two weeks from Saturday.
08:36There you go.
08:36This is what I want to see
08:37out of Zaria right here.
08:38Show me something, Zaria.
08:40Show me...
08:40Whoa!
08:41And look, you're right,
08:42as JC Jane coming in,
08:43hits that senton
08:44in the center of the ring.
08:45Jane, the champion,
08:46knows her back
08:48is against the wall
08:48in this matchup
08:49as she hits that
08:50neckbreaker on Zaria.
08:51Beautiful rolling
08:52neckbreaker there
08:53by JC Jane.
08:55Sol back up.
08:57Whoa!
08:57Showcasing some power.
09:01Whoa!
09:01Oh!
09:03We entered
09:04the zone of destruction.
09:05And now Sol
09:06with a spear!
09:09Sol knows Zaria
09:10so well
09:11might have just
09:12kicked open the door
09:13to a championship reign.
09:15This woman at one point
09:17had two titles.
09:18It was an injury
09:19that sidelines Sol
09:21where she had
09:21relinquished one.
09:23Zaria
09:23technically lost the other.
09:26Sol to the top.
09:27Wait a minute, Vic!
09:28High risk!
09:29Will there be a high reward?
09:30Zaria again.
09:32As I just said about Sol,
09:33Zaria knows Sol
09:34so very well.
09:35And you're right, Booker.
09:36Zaria's had her opportunities.
09:38Chances in NXT.
09:39Chances in TNA.
09:41Competed at Stand and Delivered
09:42for the women's
09:43North American title.
09:45But JC Jane
09:46has done it all.
09:49You talk about
09:50taking those chances.
09:51Zaria,
09:52is she gonna take
09:53that ultimate chance?
09:54And go out here
09:54and try to win this thing?
09:55Why any means necessary?
09:57Wow!
09:58All three women down.
10:01All for the right
10:02to be champion.
10:03Zaria, cover it!
10:05Kick out by JC.
10:07And now Zaria
10:08into another cover.
10:09This is on Sol
10:10and another near floppy book.
10:11We're just getting
10:12a taste of it.
10:13As you see some
10:13of this action,
10:14how hard is it truly
10:16to defend a title
10:16under these conditions
10:18with no champion's advantage?
10:19It's so difficult
10:20to be in a situation
10:21like this.
10:22Like I say,
10:23it's an unfair advantage
10:24for JC Jane,
10:25but JC Jane,
10:26you don't hear a complaint.
10:27You don't hear a what
10:29or anything like that
10:29because she's a champion!
10:31Oh!
10:32Oh!
10:32Oh!
10:32Oh!
10:33Oh!
10:38Good personal, Jake.
10:39Now this is a moment
10:39we questioned earlier
10:40would these two
10:41be able to focus
10:42strictly on the title
10:43as JC Jane
10:44with that dropkick
10:46almost through
10:47the body of Zaria.
10:48Got all of it!
10:49And now
10:50into one corner
10:51goes JC.
10:52Turns her back
10:53to the other challenger
10:54here tonight
10:55and the champion's rolling.
10:58Oh!
10:59Got caught
11:00over here for that F5.
11:01Zaria now
11:04just tossing
11:05the champ
11:06for the title!
11:07Is it her moment?
11:10I'm liking
11:11what I'm seeing right now.
11:11Zaria is all
11:13no-nonsense
11:14tonight, Vic.
11:15She's all bitched
11:16in the middle
11:17of that square circle
11:18and oh!
11:19Just got caught, though.
11:20Got caught
11:20big time.
11:21Early on in this matchup
11:22you talk about
11:23the experience factor
11:24at this stage
11:25of the game, though.
11:26This deep into the water
11:27is Zaria looking
11:27for another F5
11:28this time on Sol.
11:29Sol with a counter
11:30and it's an X-factor.
11:31Do you start to throw
11:32experience out the window?
11:34I do.
11:34Because it's about
11:35who wants it most
11:36right now.
11:37Who wants it the most
11:38right now
11:39in this situation?
11:40Wait a minute.
11:40Look at Sol!
11:40Oh!
11:41In a bad place!
11:42In a bad place!
11:43Oh my god!
11:44No way!
11:45Snaps the goal
11:46of the champion!
11:47No way!
11:48Zaria!
11:49One, two, three!
11:50Oh!
11:52Zaria!
11:53And Zaria on the outside.
11:55Again, it's triple threat.
11:57Boom!
11:57It's that massive F5!
12:00And Zaria just turned
12:02this thing around.
12:03Zaria trying to get...
12:04Oh!
12:05And fatal influence!
12:08Again, there's no
12:10disqualification
12:11in this matchup.
12:13Look at J.C.
12:13Oh!
12:14No, you know!
12:15That's it!
12:17Jain slithers away again.
12:22Here's your winner
12:24and still
12:26the NXT Women's Champion
12:29J.C. Jain!
12:34J.C. Jain
12:37I think is in disbelief
12:39after she got
12:41BAM!
12:42Drop with that
12:43Soul Snatcher.
12:44Soul Wuka
12:45was in the driver's seat.
12:48Right up until
12:49Zaria
12:50pulling Soul
12:51off the champion
12:52and then would deliver
12:54a thunderous
12:55F5
12:56right here on the floor
12:58wiping out Soul.
12:59Zaria put Soul
13:00back into the ring.
13:01Fatal influence
13:02with that numbers advantage
13:03would start to take
13:04into effect.
13:05Zaria was distracted
13:06delivering that F5
13:07allowing J.C. Jain
13:09like a snake
13:10in the grass
13:10to slither over
13:12Soul Wuka
13:13to retain
13:15her championship.
13:17Go!
