00:00We go, and honestly, Booker, how do you break this match down between these two?
00:05Talking about the keys to victory, right?
00:06Yep. I mean, Kim Loubree, I mean,
00:07she's definitely gonna need to use that speed and quickness as well as that unique style of hers.
00:12But let me tell you something, Lola Vice, she's got those educated feet as well as knockout power, Vic.
00:20Anything can happen in this match.
00:21It only takes three seconds to get a victory, it also only takes a quick submission locked in to get
00:27a tap out.
00:28Now you take a look at the MMA background, and you talk about the amateur background as well.
00:33I mean, is this the biggest crossover match in NXT history?
00:36I mean, you might want to say that, I mean, MMA meets traditional wrestling in the middle of the square
00:42circle.
00:43And let me tell you something, Kimi Gray, she's moving really, really quick up the ladder.
00:48And I like the outfit, all the planes in the house, man, all of me, baby.
00:53And I'm sure that brings a smile to your face and time to look at tonight's NXT recap presented by
00:59Progressive.
01:00And this is gonna be a human chess match.
01:03I mean, we saw a human demolition derby earlier.
01:05This is gonna be a big game of chess.
01:07Gray is a net technician, we've talked about it, we've seen the submission skills.
01:10We've also seen the submission skills of Lola Vice, and we know about the combat background, shoulders down, and a
01:16kickout.
01:16All about in-ring prowess here, I mean, you saw Kim DuBray go through a move and just got countered
01:21with the quickness there from Lola Vice.
01:23But like you say, it's gonna be a chess match.
01:27Beautiful.
01:31Gray, who relinquished the Women's Evolve Championship to pursue J.C. Jane right now in there with Lola Vice.
01:38I like that, like Kim DuBray, it lets me know she has a lot of belief in her ability and
01:43her talent that she can go out there and move up the ladder here and then excel.
01:46I love that, that right there in Kim DuBray.
01:48And there's also a healthy respect between the two, as you see that amateur background coming into display right now.
01:53Nice quick takedown in transition by Lola Vice.
01:55There is respect between the two, but look, you know better than I do, that is thrown out the window.
02:00Both these women are gonna have that killer instinct, as you like to say.
02:04Right now we are at the highest level of competition right here between these ladies and like I say, oh,
02:09that respect is definitely gonna go out to women when it comes down to a championship opportunity.
02:15And these two women fighting to head to the biggest night this Saturday in St. Louis get caught, though.
02:20And this was the submission skills we were talking about with Lola Vice.
02:22Trying to extend the arm, great, trying to do her best to roll through.
02:25And now Kendall now may be looking for a submission in her own right, and Lola Kendall so close to
02:29that bottom rope.
02:30Lola, though, shifting weight, shoulders down, and you talk about a fighter, Lola Vice could have grabbed the bottom rope.
02:36She didn't do that. She didn't take the easy way out. She continued to fight her way free.
02:40That's the count with it.
02:41Oh, my.
02:42Let me tell you something.
02:42What a kick.
02:43Lola Vice, she's all about going out there and bringing that to LaGree.
02:48I'm talking about getting it real hot here tonight.
02:52Talking about that matchup this Saturday in St. Louis rolling through, and it was almost Kendall Gray who became the
02:56number one contender for stand and deliver.
02:58And I am sure that you think there is not an ounce of the women's champion, J.C. Jane, that
03:04is worried at this juncture.
03:05J.C. Jane, the rock star, the rock star J.C. Jane.
03:07Let me tell you something.
03:09J.C. Jane became champion by force.
03:12She went out there and took it, man.
03:15Gray turning it up.
03:16Oh, and there's a body shot, and this is where that background's coming in now for Lola with those hands.
03:22We can talk about Kendall Gray in the amateur background.
03:24Over 60 wins in college, but for Lola Vice, the MMA flair, that's why she's the queen of the underground.
03:31I like the referee letting this thing go a little bit, having the wherewithal to know that this is a
03:36big match for both of these.
03:37Oh, yes.
03:38Oh, yes.
03:39Oh, yes.
03:40Educated feet, man.
03:41And Lola Vice is taking things over New York City.
03:45Wait a minute.
03:46Wait a minute.
03:47Oh, yeah.
03:48Here we go.
03:49Ah, ah, ah, ah.
03:51Ah, can't get it.
03:53Oh, yes.
03:55Here we go.
03:56Whoa.
03:57Gray just getting out of the way, almost saved the matchup for herself.
04:00And when you talk about Gray, the word potential gets used a lot.
04:04Is she going to be able to fulfill the potential if she can get this victory, if she can head
04:08to St. Louis, if she can go to Stan and look.
04:10What's Lola thinking about right now?
04:12In one half of the AAA, fixed tag team champions leaving an imprint of the body of Gray in New
04:18York.
04:45Roll of Ice in control of this matchup.
04:48And, well, Roll of Ice might be paying a little tribute here to Eddie Guerrero that we saw Mike Santana
04:54do to kick things off tonight.
04:55The TNA World Champion.
05:00Oh, yeah.
05:02Oh, yeah.
05:04Oh, yeah.
05:05What spicy big ball.
05:08Into the cover, hook of the leg, and I think he went Italian with that, but I get what you're
05:13saying there.
05:14Lola Vice, though, down in AAA, teaming with Mr. Iguana.
05:18Yeah, Iggy.
05:19That's what I call him.
05:20I call him Iggy.
05:22Here, the AAA mixed tag team champion.
05:24She'd love to become a double champ here in NXT and in the WWE, representing this brand all over the
05:30world.
05:30Another cover and another kick out.
05:32You know, a lot of people say, oh, you go for the cover, you know there's going to be a
05:34kick out.
05:34That still takes the energy out of your opponent.
05:38That's draining your opponent's energy.
05:40That's grinding the opponent.
05:41Oh, it's like, when I say keeping the opponent real close to the body, that's what that means.
05:46Shoulders down.
05:46Oh, whip.
05:46There we go.
05:49Oh.
05:51You and I, you know, you see Lola right now in control.
05:53I even hate to bring this up.
05:55No, you don't.
05:55I do.
05:56I do.
05:57What if Lola doesn't make it to St. Louis?
06:01You've been around a lot of boxers, you've been around a lot of fighters that some losses just break your
06:08spirit.
06:09Is that what we could see here with Lola, who, again, is so close to earning that opportunity?
06:15You know, yeah, that's what breaks your spirit up.
06:16It makes you go out there and do something such as Josh Briggs earlier.
06:20Josh Briggs forgot to spin on the bubble, and he had to go out there and do something drastic.
06:24Put himself back in the game.
06:26That's what it does to you.
06:27Backslide, backslide.
06:28Center of the ring.
06:29Referee Gray position, but a kick out again by Lola.
06:31Lola right back up.
06:32Kendall right back around.
06:33Another.
06:34A little bit of a near fall.
06:35And look at the transition.
06:38Effortlessly, by the way, easy for me to say, by Lola Weiss.
06:42And Kendall Gray right now has a little bit of a hand in there, but that grip book is locked
06:47in, and Kendall doesn't have anywhere to go.
06:49I mean, like I said, Kendall Gray being involved champion, that did a whole lot more confidence, but this right
06:55here is a step up.
06:56This is a huge step up in the game right here, taking on Lola Weiss.
07:00I'd also love to note right now, typically we see a competitor, a superstar relinquish the hold to kick out.
07:06Lola Weiss did not relinquish.
07:07She held on second time though, Kendall going in, and one more time Lola.
07:11Now she's just moving right back over, trying to switch position, trying to get into a cover.
07:16Kendall kicking back out, and again, you see the scrappiness starting to come out, because these two women are trying
07:21to get to stand and deliver.
07:28Even playing field in this chess match between these two women.
07:33Vice, Gray, the winner heads to St. Louis, stand and deliver, and is the number one contender to that NXT
07:39Women's Championship.
07:41And again, Booker, these two are proving how competitive and deep our women's division is, with Ren Sinclair the Women's
07:48Speed Champion on the outside.
07:49Talking about deep, we're watching, we're watching Kendall Gray get drug into those deep waters right now by Lola Weiss.
07:56And I'm gonna tell you right now, she's keeping the pressure.
07:58Oh, got caught there.
08:00You think about standing and delivering, you think about that women's division.
08:02Soul Zarya, Blake Tatum for the Women's North American Championship all going down.
08:07Nice German suplexing. Kendall now might be feeling it.
08:10Kendall Gray might now just be getting ready to take it to that next gear.
08:15You know what I'm wondering, was Kendall Gray playing a little possum there, trying to save some energy for these
08:21late rounds here, Vic?
08:22And if you're getting late in this round, we talked about in a second, late in the matchup, you start
08:26talking about the pressure that starts to mount for both these women.
08:29To get to the biggest stage we have to offer, is Lola Weiss gonna feel that pressure a little bit
08:33more than Kendall Gray to finally seize that moment,
08:37because she's been so close to that championship in the past.
08:40You know, that might be true.
08:41Oh, back fist in connect.
08:42If Kendall makes one mistake, I'm gonna tell you right now, Lola Weiss is gonna capitalize on that.
08:46But Lola might have just made that mistake, it's Gray now looking for the submission.
08:49Trying to break the grip of Lola Weiss.
08:52And you wonder if that hand's 100%.
08:53She's waiting to kick on this one I'm talking about earlier.
08:56Kendall had to relinquish the hold.
08:57She's right back up, going right back in, and just got caught.
09:00Ripped right down to the mat.
09:02Submissions locked in by Lola.
09:03Locked in tight, too Vic.
09:04Lola trying to hold, trying to roll.
09:06Now Kendall trying to use her body to get to that bottom rope, navigate.
09:09She's got Ren Sinclair, who's on the outside right now, trying to coach her through this.
09:13Is the panic starting to send in, though, for Kendall?
09:15Kendall trying to break the hold.
09:17Right now, Lola's got those legs locked right now.
09:19Kendall Gray is in a dire, dire position.
09:22And if she doesn't move, whoa, there it is.
09:24There it is.
09:24Fifted for a second, and now it's Kendall Gray almost with a dragon sleeper.
09:27Lowell able to turn right out of there is that back.
09:30Good night.
09:30That is out.
09:32Kendall knocked all the way outside.
09:34And Lola holding onto her hand, trying to get Gray's lifeless.
09:40Oh, what's Fatal Influence doing out here?
09:42What's J.C. James doing?
09:44It's a party, baby.
09:44It's a party.
09:45It's not a damn party, Booker.
09:49It's not a damn party, Booker.
09:52You're not doing shit.
10:03Lola just measuring now.
10:04Oh!
10:06Again, that could be a mistake by Lola Weiss.
10:10One mistake that I was talking about just a minute ago.
10:12But they can't finish it out here, Vic.
10:14It's got to be in the middle of that square circle.
10:16These are two prideful women.
10:17They do not want to count out to go to stand and deliver.
10:20They want to earn it.
10:21Pinfall submission.
10:22They want to get it done inside the square circle to your point.
10:27We talk about opportunity.
10:29With opportunity comes risk.
10:31Kendall to the top.
10:34And up and got caught again.
10:37Kick right to the gut.
10:38Falled into the cover.
10:42NXT Universe right now.
10:44Take a look at New York City.
10:46Everyone is standing for this matchup.
10:49For this main event.
10:50For this moment.
10:52Bam!
10:52Right there to the body.
10:53Here's the timing.
10:54Great job by Lola.
10:56Presence of mind.
10:57Give credit to the resiliency though.
10:59NXT!
11:00NXT!
11:01NXT!
11:02NXT!
11:03NXT!
11:03NXT!
11:04NXT!
11:04NXT Universe rally both these women.
11:08Who will go to stand and deliver?
11:10Who will go to the NXT Women's Championship matchup?
11:13Kick misses by Lola.
11:14Coming back in.
11:15Got caught with that elbow.
11:16Forget about the fist.
11:17The elbow connected to the temple.
11:19Like, oh.
11:20Wow.
11:20That was close too.
11:21You see that Lola had to fight to get that left shoulder up too, man.
11:25Oh, man.
11:26That caught close.
11:27Look at the kick out.
11:28Look at the kick out right here.
11:29Barely got the shoulder up.
11:30And you're right, Book.
11:31Wow.
11:31I mean, talk about energy.
11:34Lola Vice and wisely Vice though getting into the ropes.
11:38No, Kimba had the arm hooked and somehow Lola squeezed it out.
11:43And evaded that three count.
11:46Wow.
11:56This is what it means to challenge for the women's title at Stand and Deliver.
12:00New York City.
12:01They knew they're in for some fights tonight.
12:03And they're getting one between these two.
12:05Big kick back by Lola.
12:06And Lola now lighting up Kendall Gray once again.
12:09Got an end.
12:09Got caught.
12:10Ankle lock.
12:10Ankle lock.
12:11Booker.
12:11Center of the ring.
12:12Ankle lock.
12:14Sins.
12:14Gray right now trying to snap the ankle.
12:16Will Lola tap?
12:17Is she gonna tap out?
12:19She's fighting so close.
12:20And Lola getting dragged back into the deep waters you talked about.
12:24Rolling through.
12:25Cutter.
12:26Shoulders down.
12:27Near fall.
12:29Nice takedown amateur background right in this place.
12:32Shoulders down.
12:33And look at the bridge.
12:37That's it.
12:39Submission is locked in.
12:42That guillotine trying to put Kendall Gray to sleep.
12:47Come on.
12:47Referee Derek Sanders in great position.
12:50Kendall right now trying to do her best.
12:51Trying to break free of the body scissors that was locked on and did.
12:54Got back to somewhat of a vertical base.
12:56Can't even get back though to her feet.
12:58Just getting ragdiled.
12:59And now again.
13:00Take it down.
13:01And it sits.
13:03You can count.
13:04It's academic.
13:06Kendall Gray though again.
13:07This has gotta be the last ditch effort.
13:10She's gotta be rallying with everything left in her body right now.
13:13She's going to sleep Vic.
13:14She's going to sleep.
13:15Her body's slipping.
13:15Her body's out.
13:16The referee back down.
13:17To do a job.
13:19Kendall might be out.
13:20Kendall might be out.
13:21Lola's going to St. Louis.
13:22Lola's going to head to stand and deliver.
13:24Oh no.
13:25The light suplex.
13:26Cover.
13:26Count.
13:27And yes.
13:28Kendall Gray is headed to stand and deliver.
13:32Here is your winner and the new number.
13:48Well Adrian Butler right now is talking to Derrick Sanders.
13:54Butler the.
13:59We gotta get a look at this book.
14:02This was the northern light suplex.
14:04You see the cover.
14:06But did you see that?
14:07Yeah.
14:09A great job by our crew.
14:10And the truck.
14:11Right here.
14:12Look at the hand.
14:13There was a tap.
14:14But there was also a three.
14:17Another look.
14:18Look how close this is.
14:21I would hate to beat Derrick Sanders right now or Adrian Butler.
14:35Who's facing JCJ?
14:38Who's facing JCJ?
14:39Well there's Shawn Michaels.
14:43Shawn Michaels just as confused as all of us.
14:47Take.
14:48Booker I hate to be a Monday morning quarterback here but.
14:51Look at the three to the tap.
14:54That is close.
14:58Who's headed to stand and deliver?
15:01Who's going to St. Louis?
15:04Who's challenging for the women's title?
