00:00Summer is forever.
00:18She may be carrying the Women's North American Championship,
00:22but she is not the champion.
00:25And I still don't understand why she stole the title from Tatum.
00:29What did she steal that title from?
00:31What city will it be?
00:34What do you mean?
00:35We're in Houston.
00:36You know, in Houston, possession is...
00:39Oh, I'm not listening to that.
00:40Nine-tenths of the law.
00:43So, in my book, she's a champion, Vic.
00:46Blake Monroe!
00:48Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:06Dollhouse, dollhouse, set the scene.
01:09Prettiest doll you've ever seen.
01:12Perfect hair and porcelain face.
01:15But you don't belong in my place.
01:20I built these walls.
01:22I made this bed.
01:24Whispered secrets in your head.
01:27You took my prize.
01:29You tried to run.
01:31Now I'll finish what you've begun.
01:34Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:36So hold it tight, that prize you took.
01:39One last perfect look.
01:40Because I'm taking back what belongs to me.
01:44And smashing the doll you pretend to be.
01:48So come on, Blake, let's play pretend.
01:51I break my toys in the end.
01:54Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:58Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
02:02I don't know if that, uh...
02:04Shakes Blake Monroe or not.
02:06But here comes the deranged Tatum Paxley.
02:10And Booker, how would you feel if someone stole a title from you in Houston?
02:14Nonetheless, wouldn't you be peeved?
02:15I mean, does she not have a right to be so all of a sudden she's not the champion?
02:18She wasn't pinned.
02:19She didn't tap.
02:20It was stolen from her.
02:21Look, of course, Tata Packley should be upset.
02:25I'm not going to deny that.
02:27I would be upset, too.
02:28It would be a bad day if somebody stole my title, bitch.
02:32Yes, it would be.
02:32So tonight, tonight, we sell it.
02:35We sell it right here.
02:37You better hope.
02:38We sell it right here.
02:39You better hope she doesn't have an action figure of you in her dollhouse,
02:42and it might be a long trip back to Houston for you.
02:45I mind my own business.
02:46I concern myself a business that concerns me.
02:49Tata Packley has to deal with Monroe.
02:51That's what this is about.
02:53The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Women's North American Championship.
03:08Introducing the challenger from London, England, Blake Monroe.
03:20And her opponents from Dallas, Texas.
03:24She is the NXT Women's North American Champion, Tatum Paxley.
03:42Wait for the bell, ladies.
03:44Wait for the bell, ladies.
03:45Come on.
03:45Give me the championship.
03:47Well, Tatum just wants back her possession.
03:49The championship.
03:50And she's ready to bring the fight to Blake Monroe.
03:53And look, she was celebrating a steel cage victory in Houston when Blake pulled her down, stole
03:59her title in Texas.
04:00And I mean, that's obviously where we're at.
04:02She's decided not to give back the championship to Tatum.
04:05Tatum has stalked her into a hotel.
04:07She has followed her wherever she's been.
04:09And she thought she did the right thing, the mature thing, the adult thing, and gave her
04:13an opportunity for this match on the stage in New York.
04:17But Blake Monroe was not having it.
04:19And now Blake Monroe is going to pay the price.
04:22What a pinning predicament.
04:24And ooh, I don't know who's in worse for wear here because right now that's a nice submission
04:29by Tatum.
04:30And you wonder how much left Blake Monroe has.
04:32You see the veins popping out of the neck of the challenger with a big kick.
04:37So when we think about both these women, because, well, obviously we've talked about this.
04:42Who's scorn would you be more afraid of as Blake Monroe into the cover and a kick out?
04:47The hellacious Blake Monroe or the tortured mind of Tatum?
04:51Pick your poison.
04:52Pick your poison, Vick.
04:53Both of these ladies have proved they are willing to go there.
04:57And for me, like I say, I'm standing on this side.
05:00All right, don't ask me any questions like that, okay?
05:02That's what your job is.
05:03You're a journalist.
05:05I'm supposed to pick your brain about things that are going on in the ring.
05:08As right now we see a little bat and forth, but Tatum Paxley is overpowering Blake Monroe.
05:13And there might be a little extra oomph for Tatum Paxley here tonight in this match.
05:18Let's go, back it up.
05:18I was gonna say, I'm talking about Tatum Paxley.
05:20She's finally tapped into who she really is.
05:25She's found herself, Vick, and that's a very dangerous thing for Blake Monroe here tonight.
05:30Tatum Paxley who told Blake as she goes into another cover off that high-impact offense
05:34and a kick out, told Blake she can be the fire in Monroe's hell.
05:39That's quite the warning, is it not?
05:41I mean, it is, but I'm gonna tell you right now, Blake Monroe, we've seen that dark side.
05:46We've seen her turn.
05:47Yeah, we have, that's true.
05:48We've seen her turn to something that we've never really thought that she could turn into.
05:51And so, this match right here, we're gonna, we're gonna find out, we're gonna find out
05:56in the end, who's willing to go there, Vick.
05:58Get it inside!
05:59You see the May schedule 2 in the city.
06:02Here we go!
06:02Here we go!
06:03The women's North American champions.
06:06What I'm talking about.
06:06When we make our way there, and you see Tatum Pax right now is in a lot of pain after
06:12landing
06:13so awkwardly.
06:15And you see almost a look of joy and a sinister smile from Blake Monroe.
06:22And I don't know if you heard that, but I think Tatum said, I separated my shoulder.
06:26No, Tatum, I need you inside.
06:28Talking to the official.
06:30Keep it inside the leg.
06:31This is a scary situation for Tatum Pax right now.
06:34I don't necessarily know if that's what she said.
06:36I'm pretty sure that's what she just told the official.
06:39And that arm is starting to dangle, it's the left shoulder.
06:41I'm trying to get a look book.
06:42Look up from the monitor, into the cover goes Blake.
06:45It didn't kick out with the left shoulder, kicked out with the right.
06:49She's definitely compromised right now.
06:51And I'm gonna tell you, I don't know, the referee might have to have a wherewithal and
06:55understanding and know how to do his job, perhaps, Vic.
06:58There looks to be a little bit of a knot on almost the shoulder of Tatum Paxley.
07:05And now just focusing in Blake Monroe.
07:09You said it earlier, has that dark side.
07:12She's certainly gonna know exactly what to do to exploit everything she needs to do to
07:17bring the pain, to bring the punishment in this match to the champion.
07:22No time outs.
07:22No time outs in wrestling, Vic.
07:23You gotta go out there, you just gotta suck it up.
07:28And I gotta ask you about a shoulder injury.
07:29I know we're just going back and forth on this, but a shoulder injury,
07:33anytime you hit the ropes, anytime you hit a turnbuckle.
07:35I mean, you have to feel that throughout your body, especially if this is a separated shoulder
07:40for Tatum Paxley.
07:41Not only that, if it's separated.
07:42Drop kick.
07:42Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait.
07:44Oh, whoa.
07:44If it's separated, she might have to try to pop it back in herself, Vic,
07:49if she wanna try to continue in this matchup.
07:51Joey Gonzalez, the official, has asked her two or three times.
07:54I've taken a look over to my left.
07:56Everything is continuing in this match.
07:57Tatum Paxley is gonna try to power through.
08:00Blake Monroe, though, right now, is certainly in the driver's seat.
08:04And look, Blake can become the first two-time NXT Women's North American Champion if she's victorious.
08:12See that right there?
08:13Tatum Paxley has no power right now.
08:17One, two, three.
08:19You can just hear Tatum in paint.
08:21And I keep looking up just to try to get a hint of what's going through the mind now.
08:26Tatum, though, is not stopping, is not showing signs of weakness.
08:29But Blake Monroe is taking every advantage.
08:32And that's exactly what she should do.
08:34Crawl into the cover and another kick out.
08:36Let's talk about the elite prowess of Blake Monroe.
08:39She's doing a hell of a job controlling Tatum Paxley at every exit.
08:44There's no exits right now.
08:45There's no exits for Tatum Paxley right now.
08:47And how smart is this?
08:48You see Tatum grabbing at that shoulder.
08:51The same shoulder that was driven into the steel ramp earlier in this match.
08:55You're looking into those evil eyes of Blake Monroe.
08:58And this is a hell of a strategy.
09:01Paxley, you're right, can't move anywhere.
09:03So she broke the grip.
09:05And it's just right one after another.
09:08You see that right there?
09:10And back in.
09:10Let's go.
09:11Let's go.
09:12Rad tagging, Vic.
09:13Just rad tagging your opponent.
09:15I love it, man.
09:16It could be rad tagging.
09:17It could be ragdolling.
09:18It could be rags and riches.
09:19I don't care what you want to call it right now.
09:21Blake Monroe is in control.
09:23And she has said in the past she believes she is savage and fabulous at the same time.
09:29And Tatum Paxley, Tatum covered.
09:31Able to shift through and Blake having to relinquish the hold.
09:35But has the damage been done even more?
09:37I mean, truly, how much could be left in the tank of Tatum Paxley?
09:42Tatum Paxley right now, she's fighting, but she's doing it with one arm, Vic.
09:46She's not using that left hand at all.
09:49And right now, she's still in it.
09:52She's still in it, Vic.
09:53She certainly is.
09:55She may not have that left arm, but she has the will of the people that are here in St.
10:01Louis.
10:01The NXT universe that's here at Stand and Deliver.
10:04The same NXT universe that has made her a champion.
10:07One of two women to hold both the NXT North American and women's titles.
10:11The other, Stephanie Vaquer.
10:16And right around.
10:18And uh-oh.
10:20Oh my god.
10:21She may not need her left arm, her left hand.
10:24She's motivated right now, Vic.
10:26She's motivated.
10:27Can she finish it?
10:28Big shot right there.
10:29Big shot.
10:29More unique offense into the cover.
10:31And still not able to get the job done.
10:35Tatum Paxley, a fighting champion.
10:37She wants to do what's right for the women's locker room.
10:40Much like the aforementioned Stephanie Vaquer did during her time on this brand.
10:45And a reminder, Stephanie Vaquer will defend the Women's World Championship at
10:49WrestleMania against Liv Morgan.
10:51WrestleMania weekend as the class of the Hall of Fame will be inducted on Friday,
10:55April the 17th.
10:56But on this night, who can walk away with championship gold?
10:59Will it be the challenger or will it be the champion?
11:02And bam, a little sling blade from Blake Monroe.
11:05And the challenger once again starting to cook in the match, but got caught with a super kick.
11:10I mean, you gotta wonder.
11:11I mean, the challenger, she really thinks she is the champion because of the way she lost it, Vic.
11:16It was so much, it was so much controversy surrounding that night.
11:20There was absolutely no controversy.
11:21What a super kick under the jaw.
11:24I don't understand how you can say it was stolen or taken from her.
11:27I didn't say that.
11:27She lost.
11:28It was in December.
11:30It was to Thea Hale.
11:32She lost.
11:32Like I say, I didn't say, like I say, the controversy behind that match.
11:36I mean, the referee could have called that match.
11:38Anything, it should have, anything could happen.
11:40We don't know if there wasn't a referee stoppage, if the championship would have been awarded to the
11:44challenger in that match.
11:45The champion couldn't continue in boxing.
11:47If there's a knockout, doesn't the champion lose?
11:49Vic, you cannot say it was, it wasn't controversy around that, the finish of that match.
11:54You can't say that.
11:54You can't say that.
11:55There's no controversy right now that Tatum Paxley is wounded and Blake is trying to kick
12:01through that injured shoulder, continuing to focus.
12:05Oh, wait a minute, Vic.
12:06What the hell?
12:08What the hell?
12:09Hell.
12:09You stole it before I could say.
12:11And take a look what we got in the center of the ring.
12:16Both women, same idea.
12:18And you know, I go back to Tuesday in New York City.
12:23Did Tatum Paxley get played by Blake?
12:26Monroe certainly knows how to pull the right strings.
12:29Does she not?
12:30Well, she does.
12:31I mean, that's why she's working on becoming two-time champion right here tonight.
12:35And she's so close that she can just go up top right now and land just, it's going to take
12:40a big shot.
12:41She's going to land one big shot, Vic.
12:43This could be it.
12:44She's going to be looking for that home run, but there comes Paxley again.
12:47And I want to bring this up because you're the one who noted it.
12:50Not using her left arm as much.
12:52She's been using a series of insecurities to rally in this match.
12:56And up to the top, looking for a superplex.
13:00Rolling right through Paxley, continuing to hold on.
13:03Follows up with another.
13:04Rolls through, looking for the third time of charm.
13:08And oh, sit down, cover.
13:11One, two, one.
13:14And you felt the air leave the NXT universe.
13:17Dana Packer's very, very sourceful, man.
13:19Because right now, check this move out.
13:20Damn.
13:21She just held on to it, maintain control.
13:23Give me one more time.
13:25Here we go.
13:25It ain't over.
13:27It ain't over.
13:27We got more for you.
13:29And the thing is, Paxley just using what she has in the toolbox.
13:33Hey, that right there is something that you learned from the beginning, Vic.
13:36Beautiful, beautiful work.
13:37Looking for a cemetery drive.
13:38One step ahead was Blake Monroe now with a series of headbutts.
13:44If Tatum Paxley wasn't being held, she would be out.
13:47If that wrist wasn't being held by the challenger, there's no way Paxley would be able to get back to
13:52her feet.
13:53And now, you just hear the scream from Blake Monroe.
13:56Curving the scream.
13:58Hey, let's go.
13:59Come on.
14:00Off to her.
14:02Let's go, Blake.
14:03Get it down.
14:03And for Blake Monroe, she might now be going to the deep, dark depths of her soul.
14:10Uh-oh.
14:14Tatum with a powerbomb.
14:17And Blake able to roll away.
14:20Created some space right there, Vic.
14:22That was smart right there by Blake.
14:24On this side.
14:26Well, Tatum realizing that, trying to pull herself up over.
14:29Taking a little bit of time to regroup and got caught.
14:32And there was that hesitation that just opened the door for Blake Monroe.
14:41And Booker, I don't know how in the hell Tatum Paxley can continue.
14:46Not just what happened earlier, the thud.
14:51That's a human being.
14:53That's a human body.
14:56That just got dropped for the second time.
14:59That's Blake Monroe that's willing to go there, Vic.
15:02You got to be willing to go all in in this situation.
15:06Big knee, big knee, under the jaw, into the cover.
15:10Man.
15:10Kick out again.
15:12You can talk about the depths you're willing to go to win.
15:15But what about the depths you're willing to survive to continue to reign?
15:19No, no.
15:20I can pay the back there a whole lot of credit.
15:22Hold on.
15:22Two, those are two turnbuckles exposed.
15:25How much longer can't you stay here to drink?
15:29I'm trying to look at the official trying to put everything back together on the far side of the ring.
15:33After not one, but two.
15:35And hey, that women's North American title that was laying out here.
15:39After what happened at the start, Blake Monroe first with the championship shot.
15:45And then dropping, driving Tatum.
15:49And oh, we still got some fighting the champion in despair setting in.
15:58Blake Monroe, I don't know what she's thinking at this junction.
16:01She finished the job.
16:03Right now Tatum Paxley has to be seeing stars fit.
16:06I mean, I can't disagree with you.
16:08After everything she's been through, all the high impact offense from the challenger in this matchup,
16:13the champion somehow has been able to continue.
16:15And once again, starting to fight.
16:17But how much is left in the tank?
16:18You got to wonder if they get smashed outside the dome with that title.
16:23Oh, wait a minute.
16:27Oh, my word, Tatum Paxley rolling through.
16:33Somehow, someway, always able to rise up through the ashes.
16:37Oh, put on the brakes.
16:38Big headbutt.
16:40And I think the back of Paxley just inadvertently hit that exposed turnbuckle.
16:45It did be, oh.
16:47And then the glamour shot DDT.
16:49Good.
16:49And the glamour is, is Merce.
16:53She kicked out?
16:56She kicked out?
17:00I can't believe that.
17:02Going for a second, glamour shot DDT able to roll through.
17:05Paxley right down Cemetery Drive.
17:09One, two, three.
17:10Paxley retains and finally gets her title back.
17:15One, two, three.
17:16One, two, three.
17:18One, two, three.
17:18One, two, three.
17:21The NXT Women's North American Champion Tatum Paxley.
17:30I don't ever want to jump something and go too far.
17:35But Tatum Paxley tonight was undeniable.
17:38She was not going to lose.
17:39She was not going to falter.
17:42She was almost indestructible in this matchup.
17:46Was she not?
17:46Tatum Paxley has found herself big.
17:48This Tatum Paxley right here can have such a hell of a reign here in NXT.
17:54Perhaps, perhaps like no other man.
17:58Back to some of the action.
18:00This was the exposed turnbuckles.
18:01And the official did try to cover him up.
18:04But the rocket in the ring knocked him back down.
18:07That's the best way I can describe it.
18:09Paxley went off the bottom one.
18:11Then got hit with a glamour shot DDT.
18:13We all thought this was in the bag for Blake Monroe.
18:16She would be countered after going for another glamour shot.
18:19And it was right there.
18:20Paxley, Cemetery Drive.
18:23Put Blake Monroe's championship dreams to rest here in St. Louis.
18:30And Tatum indeed was the goth to the glamour and stand and deliver.
