00:07I came back to NXT for two reasons the first mission was Darkstate and I left
00:13Darkstate the same way they left me beaten empty searching for answers so now
00:21we get to reason number two see I look the man in the mirror and I had to be
00:26honest there was one thing that that man couldn't accomplish there was one thing
00:32that that man was incapable of achieving tonight stand and deliver I fulfill the
00:40second reason and become NXT champion
01:25booker
01:26the main event of stand and deliver and is this the most dangerous man in this
01:33match and here's why I asked that to you because he has won every title but the
01:39NXT championship he's the only man in this match to have not held that title but
01:43he could also be the most driven because of that
01:45I can tell you he's the most dangerous I can tell you this Tony D is a man on a
01:51mission and this right here the NXT championship that that's the final
01:58mission man the final countdown a when he'd be the only man to hold the NXT
02:03North American tag and Heritage Cup
02:21but as you've heard me say in the past here's a man who loves the spotlight loves
02:26loves him some him is is his ego starting to match that of Ethan page come on man I mean
02:36what do you mean come on man I'm not gonna even go there I'm gonna give this man his
02:40his proper respect I'm gonna Rick give Ricky Saints his intro this guy right here this
02:45guy showed up at NXT and did something that not too many here can do it that's that's gonna win
02:50go in two different departments I'm talking about a grand fashion and it quick quick time give it up
02:59give it up to this he's jabber now he's looking good yeah he wants to become a two-time NXT
03:10champion say it again Vic say it again because the other opponent in this match is looking to do the
03:17same thing
03:36you talk about arriving in grand fashion Ethan page won the NXT championship faster than anyone broke Kevin
03:45Owens record Saints however did win a title faster overall when he won the North American title as
03:53you see a look of I don't know if that was respect or not between the two let's not forget
03:58about the
03:58triple-a accolades as well the guy's a champion all right he's a he's a natural one champion he's the
04:05page
04:05he's he's the the the the professional that I that I wish everyone in that locker room could be yes
04:42big yes
04:46that is you got that look in your eye
04:53I gotta do it man go for it it's the biggest night of the year
04:57wave your head
05:04yeah

05:20oh yeah
05:25this atmosphere is absolutely electric for this main event for the NXT championship four men one title who's walking out
05:37with the gold
05:39yeah
05:40let's see the second course
05:41raise Joe
05:43oh yeah
05:48the following contest is a fatal four-way match for the NXT championship
06:02introducing the challengers first weighing in at 253 pounds
06:11Tony D'Angelo
06:22next weighing in at 210 pounds ricky
06:29six
06:38and 240 pounds

06:53110
06:57he's
06:59252 pounds
07:01of pure motivation
07:03and the
07:04NXT champion
07:06show
07:08three
07:15you know before we get underway here book main event last year
07:27main event last year oba trick javon all three now will be competing at wrestlemania what does
07:34this main event what does it mean to these superstars championship energy championship
07:40means we next we move it up we got a chance to go to the next level that's what this
07:47thing is
07:47truly truly all about yes look at this going right at joe hendry and now turning around and now they're
07:53trying to go at tony d'angelo and it's a little two-on-one attack as back comes in joe
07:58hendry
07:58into the fray and there's no way you even think this partnership is going to last between saints
08:03and paint all that is vick is two men two people sharing one common cause let's see who gets there
08:10first that's what it's all about that's all it is and much like we started the night the champion
08:14does not need to be factored in the decision to lose the championship and there's a healthy respect
08:19between the two but they also both want the title and they both made it pretty clear they're willing
08:24to go through anyone to hold the goal i can tell you this tony d tony d is looking real
08:29jack baby
08:30looks like he put on about a good 10 pounds of muscle and i'm wondering if he's gonna do him
08:35any good in this match up here tonight the part of you feel for tony d'angelo because again he
08:40called
08:40his opponents in this matchup all of them outsiders and it's hard to argue that point because tony d'angelo
08:47is homegrown from the performance center there are no outsiders in this business you got so many people
08:52from all across the world across the country that want to be here they're looking for the
08:56same thing that tony d is looking for he has no rights in this come on and look at joe
09:01hendry
09:01knocking around everybody in his path including tony d'angelo page and ricky saints probably going
09:08to settle the same fate what made you finally come around to joe hendry i mean the guy's talent
09:12i mean you can't look past talent you know my daddy always used to say back in the day cream
09:17cream rise
09:18to the top junior hey that's what this young man is look at the power of joe hendry
09:26been all the blood rushed to ricky saints head right there the temple right now has to be about
09:32to explode quick cover and again this is not elimination first fall first decision
09:39will we crown a new champion will joe hendry retain obviously numbers not in his advantage but
09:44he has made believers all around the world and everyone believes joe hendry oh can take out the
09:50best at any point and now a little two for one with saints and page anyway you look at the
09:56odds
09:57going to be against joe hendry in a matchup like this but that's what that's what heart comes in man
10:02that's what fortitude comes into play right there with that never that never say die mentality we're
10:07gonna see if joe hendry has a little bit of that tonight they've certainly been better battle tested
10:12in the past and seems that yeah they're gonna continue to work as one and page of course only
10:19cares about himself always puts himself first this is business this is business man this is business
10:24that's what this business built on since day one alliances come on man factions come on man they
10:31certainly have one in this matchup but charging right back in and joe hendry beaten down and look who's
10:36standing tall who pose action right there just yeah i see it just for that's for the people that's
10:42all it is i know how much you love to talk about last year's stand and deliver during the zarya
10:46and
10:47soul ruka match what was just last year ethan was mocking saints for following his path of success it
10:52was ethan who lost to ricky saints at stand and deliver in a championship match last year the opening
10:57match but now they're in the main event can i ask you a question yep why are you talking about
11:01old stuff
11:01that's old stuff you just worked 25 minutes ago what's happening right there in the
11:05look at the screen well what's happening keep joe hendry go out here and retain his championship
11:09against three of the best here at nxt
11:16well what's happening is it seems to be a little what would you call this divide and conquer
11:21between these two taking out everybody to fight for themselves exactly what it is i mean take out
11:26joe hendry the guy got a lot of muscle i mean he has a uh judo background wrestling background the
11:31guy
11:32he's very dangerous why would you do this vick we'll not vote
11:35oh
11:45both men want to become i got it i got it come on two-time nxt champion and again ethan
11:53page seeing
11:53tony d'angelo start to rise up and saints trying to come over but tony d'angelo starting to fight
11:58back
11:58in this match of course he's trying to stay the course for phase two phase one with the destruction
12:04of dark state and we saw them maybe start to unravel earlier tonight as dion lennox
12:09beat up a little dropped a little miles born a little friction there with dark state but i'm
12:14gonna tell you right now when dark state strikes nobody's safe you know that whoa talk about no one
12:20being safe why would you do that we're trying to win ethan page looked at suplex ricky say it was
12:27a
12:27great move you'll believe anything won't you ethan page says because that's your can man look here i
12:35just saw the suplex right there it just took tony d straight out of the game it was effective oh
12:42saints
12:42hard shot joe hendry dropped with a confidence breaker right back in great teamwork to saints with a
12:49little bit of a stunner great teamwork together they'd cover them together what if they both win
12:59like are they going to share the championship
13:08they apparently did come in with a game plan i'll bite my tongue apparently this is a partnership
13:12that's going to last but i will mention this ethan page has done something that no one else has in
13:17this match you know what that is pin joe hendry that's got to count for something of course it's
13:22got to count for something i mean the guys he's a he's a professional he's a he's a talent he
13:28didn't
13:28become champion by by slipping on a banana peel by osmos he did not but take a look at saints
13:34and page
13:35double up double up on hendry say his name say his name superplex connects and page right now looking to
13:43pounce on hendry a splash on saints i told you there that man was egotistical only caring about
13:53himself crawling into the cover to become a two-time champ so smart almost a lot of it almost worked
14:01it almost worked almost only counts in horseshoes and it did not work looking for a twisted friend
14:06they got caught with a spear turnabout's fair play get together guys get your hands back in this guy
14:14that has gone out the window looking for the revolution ddt popping a spear from d'angelo
14:20and d'angelo picking his spot to perhaps have his moment oh shoulder first hendry who's taking a lot of
14:29punishment in this match just tossing away with a little attitude adjustment to d'angelo
14:39main event of stand and deliver all four men down all four men fighting for the nxt title but look
14:46at joe hendry this man has suffered so much in this matchup is this the champion fighting with
14:52a different demeanor than when he first arrived here from tna across the line i think it is like
14:57say tony d coming in probably the heaviest i've ever seen him and joe hendry just tossed him like
15:02it was nothing yes he's fighting right now with purpose that's joe hendry well it seems again ethan
15:09page trying to bark orders to ricky saints ricky might not real remember what just happened moments ago
15:13but a double boston craft each with a single leg i said i mean get your heads back in the
15:19game guys get
15:19back on track from behind up and over comes d'angelo and did you foresee when tony came back
15:28wanting the nxt title as bad as he did speaking so passionately about wanting to wear the gold
15:33hey tony d's a leader man ever since day one i'm talking about in the neighborhood hanging out at the
15:39bodega no matter where he's at this guy's a leader man he truly is oh yes back body drop
15:47people tend to forget to tony first handful of matches he was in war games he stayed true to
15:52this brand good people have overlooked that that's why he called all three of these men outsiders who
15:58came from other places and now joe hendry might want to go back just got dropped with that spine
16:05buster ethan page desperately reaching in ricky saints reaching in as well and that's one way
16:12to take out anyone in any match talking about a dislocated shoulder clavicle i don't know i mean
16:21collarbone a lot just went on right there vic and look when it comes to getting the job done ethan
16:27page knows how to do it was a double champion longest reigning north american champion ever yeah well i'm
16:34trying to get back it up back it up a little too close for comfort for us right here ringside
16:42there's now a revolution ddt right here in front of us d'angelo's eyes just rolled into the back of
16:49his head and now ethan page for good measure with a twisted grin
16:57taking it to donate right now man tony's entire straight i think tony's tony's entire straights big
17:03and this is what these two wanted they wanted to wipe out the competition oh my god cannonball
17:11joe hendry flying over
17:16believers are coming out
17:25hendry trying to get anyone back into the ring to put this one away could be looking for a little
17:31standing ovation from behind saints saints from behind chopping down joe hendry and i just walked over
17:40from the left side of the table tony d'angelo isn't moving tony d'angelo is out cold right now
17:46this is the moment for page and saints if they want to dethrone joe hendry if they're truly working
17:52together that championship is hanging in the balance at this moment and joe hendry is going
17:59to need everyone here in the heart i was talking about vic that's it right there from joe hendry
18:08take another look we talked about the strength earlier joe hendry has put himself in great
18:13physical condition has this match up back d'angelo back of the match right back down
18:18cage running into a clothesline joe hendry right now has gotten his second maybe third win maybe even
