00:14Then, now, forever.
00:39Rivalries have crossed the line driven by intense emotions.
00:43All for retaliation to a personal injustice.
00:47It's all going down at NXT Revenge.
00:51Tonight, I set the tone on how my reign as NXT Champion goes.
00:56With that first defense over Ethan Page,
01:00D'Angelo is now starting to cement his championship legacy.
01:07J.C. Jane has her championship rematch tonight.
01:12J.C., I'm gonna knock your ass out again.
01:16Back fist, and Lola Feist retains.
01:27J.C. J.C. J.C. J.C.
01:28Bill Lennox is miles more right there.
01:30He's taking it to the limit.
01:32J.C. J.C. J.C.
01:33Dark State is not on the same page.
01:36The Bourne again to overcome the odds as Bourne continues his reign
01:41as our North American Champion.
01:45Lexus King, EK Prosper.
01:48Let the celebration inside of Kirkpat begin.
01:53Lexus King is our new Speed Champion.
01:58But this woman looks like she's ready for a funeral, and it could very well be hers.
02:04He's the best!
02:04Lexus King, EK Prosper.
02:04In a casket match.
02:08The God!
02:09Hell was unleashed, God, by both these women.
02:14Cemetery Drive!
02:21The glamour can rest in peace as Tannin Paxley is still Champion.
02:26I need real men. I need real men.
02:32Who will be Last Woman Standing?
02:37Oh, Soul Fetcher!
02:39These are about a long way down for one of these two women.
02:45These two have been through so much.
02:48I will be the Last Woman Standing.
02:53And I'm gonna get it.
03:03This night, it was Zarya who snatched the soul of Ruka.
03:12But let's get right to it.
03:14Ethan Page, Joe Hendry, Fatal Influence, Soul Ruka, Blake Monroe.
03:19I mean, they all moved on to Raw, SmackDown.
03:22They're gonna make an impact there, and those are big shoes to fill.
03:26And my phone's been blowing up.
03:28I've been getting a lot of calls from men and women's locker room, the talent.
03:31But I think it's time we need one or two fresh new faces here.
03:35I don't know, maybe somebody from Evolve?
03:36Or LFG?
03:37Yes.
03:37And there's a crop of international talent just looking for their chance.
03:41Yeah.
03:41So let me get this straight.
03:42We've done what NXT does.
03:45We've been through this before, many times.
03:48All right?
03:49Now you can put some names on some little pieces of index cards.
03:55You can put some pictures on your whiteboard.
03:58You can continue to take phone calls.
04:00Or you can throw a stick of dynamite in that frickin' locker room and see who the hell runs out.
04:06I like that, Charlie.
04:07Anybody's ballgame, boys, back there.
04:11NXT has been all over the news today, and there is a lot on the plate of our general manager.
04:23NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT.
04:46NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT.
04:54And we're kicking off tonight with a championship matchup.
04:58But Booker, do you feel the, how do I say, unnecessary tension surrounding Dark State?
05:06Well, I think that that tension is very necessary, man.
05:10You know me, man.
05:1299%, keep your mouth and 100%, you speak up 100% of the time.
05:18That bitch is a man.
05:19A lot of the issues step between Sugars and Dion Lennox.
05:36And you gotta be impressed with our champion's fighting spirit.
05:42This is two weeks in a row.
05:44He's putting the gold on the line.
05:45Come on, Vic.
05:47Two weeks.
05:48All right.
05:49Let's, let's, let's, let's get in for 10 weeks.
05:52You know, defense and damn, we'll start talking about it once, it's hard now, that gold.
05:57All right.
05:58Let's not put the cart before the horse, man.
06:01You're having flashbacks to your TV championship days at WCW?
06:05You're damn right.
06:06You died to prove myself.
06:07Well, let's go up to our ring announcer as we get set to kick it off tonight.
06:11The one and only, Mike Rome.
06:12The following contest scheduled for one fall.
06:17One fall.
06:18Is for the NXT North American Championship.
06:26Introducing the challenger, weighing in at 232 pounds, Dark State's Saquon Sugars.
06:43And his opponent, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is the NXT North American Champion,
06:55Miles Boyle.
06:59Back to back weeks, we are kicking off the night defending the North American Championship.
07:05I wanna go back before the start of this matchup officially to what we saw from earlier today.
07:11Book, do you agree with Shawn Michaels that NXT right now is anyone's game?
07:16You know, I do believe that, man.
07:18I believe it's anyone's game.
07:19But Miles Boyle and Tony D, they should have, they should have words.
07:23Whoa, whoa.
07:24Because those are the guys that's running the place right now, man.
07:27We also talk about the women's division with Lola Vice.
07:30Yes.
07:31Talk about the tag team division with Vanity Project, door wide open.
07:34We've been saying it all year long.
07:35It's the year of opportunity.
07:37Opportunity, baby.
07:38Right now it's the opportunity for the Sugar Man.
07:40Can he go out here and break gold to Dark State?
07:44Big neck breaker.
07:45Beautiful.
07:46That's what it's been about, though.
07:47Because it was Dion Lennox, and you have to understand Dion's point.
07:50Dark State needs gold once again.
07:53Like I said, Dion Lennox, he's been doing a hell of a job quarterbacking this thing.
07:59This guy right here, he's a loose cannon, Sugar Man.
08:02He could be the one that could bring gold here tonight.
08:06Yes.
08:07Beautiful goodness.
08:08Gunwrench suplex right after that X-Plex, but that'll stop anybody,
08:13will be a boot to the face.
08:14And Sugar's coming in, got caught with a power slam.
08:17Born quickly trying to get into the cover, and Sugar's to the outside.
08:20Smart there by the Sugar Man, getting a little bit of separation,
08:24creating a little bit of space.
08:26My God.
08:27My God.
08:28Separating from Myles Bourne will never break.
08:31He's here once again defending the title.
08:34He will never shy away from defending his championship, no matter what the odds are.
08:39And the official better get the hell out of the way.
08:42Hey.
08:43When Myles turned around, that was a shot to Cutler, but it opened the door for
08:47a second for looking at Myles Bourne.
08:49He is fully focused tonight, he knows the numbers advantage, not in his favor.
08:54He's got it.
08:55Right there, you see that right on the tailbone, right there on the Cox's bone,
08:58right there.
08:59Let me tell you right now, Myles Bourne is in a lot of pain, man.
09:03Still to come tonight, Hill, Ricky Saints, our main event.
09:07We'll also hear from our women's champion, Lola Vice.
09:10We'll also hear from our NXT champion, Tony D'Angelo, not to mention this tag team
09:15matchup.
09:16Still to come here live on NXT as Myles Bourne is starting to battle back in this
09:20match.
09:21Could be looking for a backslide.
09:22Can't get that last arm, but finally did.
09:24Sugars reaching out, trying to hold that middle rope.
09:27Nice counter.
09:28That was so smart.
09:30My.
09:32Beautiful work.
09:33Beautiful work.
09:34Sugars eight years ago today, had his first match ever.
09:39Would love to celebrate with championship gold.
09:43And now again, Sugars on the outside.
09:46Booker, I think the pad fell off.
09:48That was exposed steel.
09:52And I'm looking up for Armander.
09:53That steel is exposed right into the throat of the champion.
09:57There's nothing our official Derrick Sanders can do in front of us.
10:01Sugars taking- Take your business right now, that's Sugars, man.
10:05Who is walking out North America's champion?
10:08The official doing his best to back everybody up, because that was incidental.
10:12That was accidental.
10:13But Myles Bourne is hurt.
10:15Myles Bourne is down.
10:36Whoever you're watching around the world on Netflix, this is about the North American Championship.
10:42Put me over.
10:43And Saquon Sugars right now is in control of this matchup.
10:47For Sugars, we gotta go back to what happened just moments ago.
10:51And I'm looking around, and I don't know Booker, you see to the left right now.
10:54That pad is down, it accidentally fell off.
10:57And Sugars, this is a man that has a plan.
11:00Just one.
11:01He changed his game just like that.
11:03Sugars is using everything he possibly can to his advantage.
11:06Here tonight, I'm gonna tell you.
11:08I'm gonna tell you, if he keeps going this way.
11:09Cover, cover, cover, cover.
11:10Here we go. Here we go.
11:11If he keeps going this way, we're gonna see a new champion walk out of here tonight.
11:14His name is gonna be Saquon Sugars.
11:17Referee doing his best.
11:18Again, Derrick Sanders doing everything our officials are trained to do, stepping in,
11:22following protocol, making sure that our athletes can continue to compete.
11:26Because Bourne went, I don't know if it was throat first or with his jaw, but
11:31Miles Bourne, he's out of it, Booker.
11:33I mean, look in the eyes of the champion.
11:35Look at Sugars, he's like a mad dog right now.
11:37He's unleashing everything on Miles Bourne.
11:40And this is gonna be a gut check moment.
11:42It's gonna be a gut check moment for Miles Bourne.
11:45Because this is just the beginning of his title run, man.
11:52NXT Universe trying to will on Miles Bourne.
11:56Gotta figure it out.
11:57And Bourne just got caught right back to that jaw, to that neck.
11:59Bourne able to fight through, trying to roll through, shoulders down to retain.
12:04And right back comes Sugars.
12:05Sugars now into the cover.
12:08Now looking for maybe a submission, but instead he knows that throat is damaged.
12:12And he's found a bullseye and he's exploiting the weakness of the champion.
12:17Gonna dismantle Miles Bourne bit by bit, piece by piece right here in this matchup.
12:22And I'm loving, I'm loving the modus abarandi here, Vic.
12:26Into the cover.
12:27Are we gonna have a new champion in another?
12:29Kick out.
12:30Miles Bourne continuing to fight.
12:33What will it take, Booker, in your opinion, for Dark State to all get back on the same page?
12:38We're very simple.
12:39Winning, winning man, championships, big checks, etc., and all of that.
12:46That's all it takes, man, trust me.
12:51Bourne just getting right back up and right back down.
12:55Miles Bourne, he has not been the same since he went throat first over that exposed steal.
13:02And Sugars has taken every advantage.
13:05And as much as I like to say Dark State's cutting corners, they're doing everything legal at this juncture.
13:12We could certainly have a power shift here tonight on NXT.
13:23Miles Bourne trying his best to get back into this matchup.
13:25He went over that exposed steal, throat first.
13:27He hasn't quite been the same, but now he's starting to rally due to all the love and admiration from
13:34the NXT Universe.
13:35And they all know Miles Bourne's inspirational journey.
13:38And he looks to continue that pill trend with a big hip toss.
13:42You see him going right back.
13:43He's not 100%, Booker.
13:44I was gonna see, like I said, what Miles Bourne is made of.
13:46He's trying to go out of here on will alone and try to battle the Dark State.
13:51It's not gonna happen that way, Vic.
13:53Sometimes you gotta go underhanded just a little bit.
13:57Sometimes you gotta go outside the box just a little bit.
14:01He's in trouble.
14:02And again, that leg drop to the throat, into the cover.
14:04Do we have a new champion at Bourne able to kick out?
14:07And I wanna ask you this about Sugar's.
14:08Do you believe Saquon actually talked to Robert Stone for Deion to have this opportunity?
14:14Or did he make it about himself?
14:16Man, I'm not gonna speculate or anything like that.
14:18I don't need the Dark State showing up in my house, okay?
14:21I don't need that.
14:22But I do know one thing, I do know one thing.
14:25Miles Bourne is in a lot of trouble, as well as his championship is in a lot of doubt
14:29right now in this matchup.
14:31We can agree on that, can't we?
14:32We certainly can, because look, I said it earlier, and you kind of snickered at it.
14:35But Miles Bourne has had back-to-back weeks having to defend this championship.
14:40The toll that takes on someone, all joking aside, Booker, two weeks in a row,
14:44the physical toll and the mental toll that takes on someone.
14:47Well, it's a grind.
14:48It's definitely a grind.
14:49In the ring, this kid has had to be champion out of the ring.
14:52He's had to be champion with all the interviews and all of that.
14:55Let me tell you something, it's the hardest job in the business.
14:58That's why I say this matchup right here is gonna tell a lot about Miles Bourne.
15:02I always say, champion don't have to win, he just don't have to lose.
15:06That's what this kid didn't be thinking about.
15:08Big kick to the back, and Sugars put all of his body into that enziguri.
15:15And when it comes to Sugars, I also start to wonder if he feels undermined by Deion Lennox.
15:19At one point, we used to call Sugars the leader of Dark State, but I think that is swung to
15:25Deion Lennox.
15:25I never said that, and I don't need you over here trying to stir the pot or anything like that,
15:30Big.
15:31Just stay focused here, please.
15:33Well, Sugars trying to stir up some trouble with a super bellied up, counter!
15:38Hard landing!
15:39Counter, right into the cover!
15:41Will it be a nothing?
15:43I gotta give credit to Sugars.
15:45You can call him the rubber band man because he just snaps back.
15:49Saquon Sugars has got to have all the wind thrown all out of his body right now
15:54because that was a hard landing right there.
15:57Talking about a hard landing, take another one.
15:59Check it out, check it out.
16:01God!
16:01That was all of Myles Bourne coming right down onto the chest of Saquon Sugars.
16:07And look, you take a look at this reign of Myles Bourne,
16:10how crucial was it for Bourne to finally find this aggressive side?
16:15A side he credited Ethan Page for helping him find,
16:18and he's able to roll back into the counter cover and another kick out.
16:21I love it.
16:22I love this side of Myles Bourne.
16:24If it wasn't for Ethan Page, I'm gonna tell you right now, he's kicking that.
16:27Cover!
16:28Almost got it right there.
16:31And a takedown into a counter, and you're right.
16:33If it wasn't for Ethan Page, I gotta give credit, Bourne might not have found this side.
16:37A nice bridge.
16:38Look at the core strength.
16:40Looking for that backslide.
16:42That is.
16:42It's time.
16:44It was not all there.
16:45Another kick out.
16:47What a way to kick off NXT.
16:49Highly contested championship bout, all for the North American championship.
16:54You talk about climbing the ladder.
16:56Sugars got caught right there, big time.
16:58Dropkick.
16:59Kick.
17:00Take another look.
17:01Look at the height.
17:02Look at the precision.
17:05I'll give him a 10 on that one right there.
17:07Beautiful dropkick with precision.
17:11NXT Universe now trying to rally Bourne and again, Dark State is on the outside.
17:16It is crucial for Dark State to get gold back inside the grasp of one of these four men.
17:21They can get some power back.
17:22That's in their mind.
17:24But Miles Bourne right now.
17:26Hitting the plex.
17:28Is it perfect?
17:29It is not.
17:30So close.
17:31So close down for Miles.
17:34Here comes Lennox.
17:36Lennox the man who lost the Bourne last week.
17:39Opened the door for a moment.
17:41And now for a second.
17:43Wow.
17:44Beautiful Northern Lights.
17:46Wow.
17:46Followed up with that dropkick, high combination offense.
17:50And now with that, Derrick Sanders has his hands full right now, Booker.
17:54Let's do a hell of a job.
17:55Let's do a hell of a job.
17:56Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
17:58Lennox with a chair.
17:59What are you doing?
18:00What are you doing?
18:01I'm trying to win.
18:02I'm trying to win.
18:03What the hell are you doing with that show?
18:05What are you talking about?
18:07Well, Sanders caught Lennox red-handed.
18:10I think Lennox had the rest of Darkstate running the play.
18:13But it's been intercepted by the champion.
18:16We had to die.
18:17What is he thinking?
18:19I don't know if he was thinking, but Bourne up over Bourne again.
18:24Cover.
18:26One, two, three.
18:27Bourne retains.
18:31Here's the winner, and still, the NXT North American Champion,
18:40Myles Bourne.
18:42I think if you're Darkstate right now, Booker,
18:45you're gonna have a lot of questions after this matchup,
18:50because there was a lot of zigging when there should have been some zagging
18:53from the plays being called by Dion Lennox.
18:56He looked to waffle.
18:58What are you doing?
18:59I'm trying to win.
18:59Miles Bourne, you hear the argument.
19:01What the hell are you doing?
19:02Our official and Eric Sanders was preoccupied, but heard what was going on.
19:07Miles Bourne turned it right around into his favor, wiped out Lennox,
19:12took out Darkstate to a degree, and then took out Saquon Sugars with that patented Bourne Again.
19:25How good it must feel to be.
19:30Miles.
19:30Miles.
19:31The end.
19:33Congratulations on another successful title defense champ.
19:40It truly is very impressive.
19:45Now, if you would allow me to introduce myself, I am Mr. England Tristan Angels.
19:55Order, order.
19:58But do not let my looks have you fooled.
20:03For I am here today as a courtesy to let you and all these people know that you will be
20:09seeing much, much more of Tristan Angels in NXT from here on out.
20:16You see I live an angelic.
20:18Hey, what's it?
20:20Order, order.
20:21Hey, hey.
20:22Tristan Angels and Booker, look who that is.
20:24It's Cam Hendricks from LFG.
20:28Watch your pose.
20:29Watch your pose right here.
20:31Give it to me.
20:35Cam Hendricks is about to action.
20:38This is my show.
20:40This is the Cam Hendricks show.
20:44It's showtime.
20:48Well, Stone wanted new faces.
20:51Opportunity does create excitement, but it also brings chaos.
20:57We have Lizzie and Callie and now we have Tristan and Cam.
21:01I mean, the good thing is you're built for speed, right champ?
21:04Yeah, incoming.
21:05Yeah, all these incoming new talents.
21:06I mean, good thing is I'm not the new kid on the block anymore.
21:08Hey.
21:10You good?
21:11No, I'm not good because I'm staring at someone who got a two part chronicle who doesn't
21:15deserve it.
21:16Someone who got multiple title shots when I haven't gotten one shot at the Women's Championship.
21:20Not to mention, I'm the one who tapped out Lola via something that you couldn't do.
21:24So really, I'm the one to beat.
21:26And then what happened after that?
21:29That's right, your ass got knocked out in the underground.
21:32You guys are so funny.
21:33I mean, even though Kendall didn't win standing the liver, she still didn't get pinned, so she deserves a shot
21:38at Lola.
21:39Wren, Wren, clueless as always.
21:42You need to realize there's no friends here in NXT.
21:47She's gonna turn on you just the way Charlie did.
21:50Well, how about instead of worrying about the women's champion, you worry about this champion?
21:56All right champ, so how about you versus me tonight?
21:59Yeah.
22:00And you don't even have to put up your title.
22:02Yeah?
22:02I just wanna embarrass you in front of your little friend.
22:04And you, make sure you're out there sitting down while I'm standing out.
22:10She's so crazy.
22:11Moves.
22:12Moves.
22:12Moves.
22:12Moves.
22:13Our new NXT champion, Tony D'Angelo.
22:19These hands got an iron grip on this title.
22:22And there isn't a man walking who can take it from you.
22:30Every once in a great while, an athlete comes along that sets himself apart from all the rest.
22:37I just felt like I had to go out and be different and entertaining on a whole nother level.
22:43I wouldn't have pissed on Shawn Michaels if he was on fire.
22:46But when he came back around, he was a changed human being.
22:49I love telling people about my dad.
22:50If you look at this generation, so many of them will say,
22:54who's your biggest influence?
22:55Shawn Michaels.

25:19thing that's for sure in NXT and that's that competitors they come and go but
25:26ever since I got into this building I have been the constant and now that I
25:31got this title there isn't a man on this roster who is tough enough to kick me
25:37off of this mountain including whoever sent me that box last week
25:49now we got competitors from LFG and Evolve jumping miles we got Europeans
25:54stepping up I got Keanu Carver side-eyeing me
26:00but I'm more interested in that box
26:05now I'm not stupid I know that wasn't a gift that was a warning
26:37so
26:42yeah
26:44yeah
26:44yeah
26:45yeah
26:48yeah
26:58yeah
27:01yeah
27:04yeah
27:07yeah
27:17yeah
27:38Holy hell, Booker.
27:41The rumors, they're true.
27:45That is the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
27:58Hey, Booker, that looks like the same mark we saw in that box.
28:03Tony D better get ready for, whoa, it's going down, Vic.
28:09I don't know if that's a gift of pure admiration, or if that's just a gift of
28:15pure evil.
28:21Gotta wonder what is Tony,
28:24and T'Angelo, now what the hell is going on?
28:28Whoa.
28:28It's Tavion Heights.
28:32Come on.
28:35Opportunity, Vic.
28:36You can say that again.
28:38Opportunity.
28:38I'm coming for everything I deserve, and I deserve it.
28:41I'm about to show you exactly who I am.
28:44I'm coming for this.
28:45You must be crazy.
28:47Who the?
28:48What the hell?
28:49Is that a fan?
28:57Who the hell is this?
29:02We got to absorb what just happened.
29:04First and foremost, this is what Tony D'Angelo came out here and
29:08was talking about.
29:09He didn't receive the gift.
29:11He was given a warning.
29:14And he looked into the eyes of the man who sent that message.
29:18Then to follow it up, Tavion Heights, look, Tavion Heights took his shot.
29:22You want to make an impact, this is what you do.
29:25But then, this is what I don't understand.
29:27Oh yeah.
29:28Yeah.
29:29No, no, no, no.
29:34Time for tonight's NXT Focus presented by Progressive.
29:45Here lies the final resting ground for Blake Monroe here in NXT.
29:50May the cold darkness engulf her glamorous and narcissistic ways.
29:57Nice.
29:59Shiloh, I didn't want to do it.
30:01I just, she made me, I had to end it.
30:04I know.
30:05At least now I don't have to hear her voice.
30:08Well, they don't call it soundproof phone for nothing.
30:10Right, Blake?
30:14For real though, I do hope her soul finds peace, wherever it winds up.
30:20You know, Shiloh, in a funny way, I do too.
30:26It's just, I don't know, I just feel like something comes over me when it comes with
30:30this title and I don't know, I just go into survival mode.
30:34That kind of makes sense though.
30:35Like, sometimes when we work so hard for things, it feels like they become a part of us and
30:39then when that thing gets threatened, it's like someone's threatening you.
30:43Also, you're kind of the type of person that forms really strong attachments to things
30:47and people.
30:48So, that's what makes you so fun to be around.
30:51I guess I never really thought of it like that.
30:53Well, I'll figure out what's next for me later.
30:56You have a pretty big match with Ricky Saints tomorrow.
30:59I am so excited.
31:00This is honestly the biggest singles match of my life.
31:02I mean, I feel like I've watched every Ricky Saints match for the past six months.
31:05I even made a little simulation so I can learn how he strings his moves together firsthand.
31:09That's so cool.
31:10Yeah.
31:10It's kind of sad though.
31:12It got super realistic and now the virtual self is like really lonely in there.
31:15But at least now I know what to do to win.
31:19Speaking of that, I'd love to stick around and enjoy the scenery.
31:22Go ahead.
31:23You take off.
31:24Hey, you're going to kill it.
31:27No offense.
31:29Don't let the fog get you.
31:30I'll see you.
31:31Bye, Shiloh.
31:32Bye.
31:32I think I'm going to stay here a little longer.
32:05But it's time for some tag team action on NXT.
32:21The coloring contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
32:28Introducing first, representing Bird Ride, Channing Stax Lorenzo and Uriah Connors.

32:58Lexus King, fastest man alive.
33:03Makes me sick that you even said that.
33:11Hey, there's no such thing as a slow news day when you are the fastest man alive.
33:18I just said that.
33:20And I do have some news to share with you all, some terrible, terrible news.
33:26And you know, I just wanted to come out here and cheer on my brothers.
33:31Cuz they were gonna put on a tag team clinic that only generational talent can do.
33:37But unfortunately for EK, he's gonna have to prosper all on his own tonight.
33:45Because his Belgian bud suffered from a little accident.
33:53All right, you guys, it's time for a little backstage birthright.
33:57It's exclusive.
33:59My gosh.
34:00What's happening?
34:02No.
34:03No.
34:04Too bad.
34:06So sad.
34:08Poor thing.
34:09I guess we won't be having that match tonight, will we?
34:12Medical, medical.
34:17You condone that.
34:19You think that's great.
34:20Beautiful camera work.
34:21Look, camera work.
34:23E.K. Prosper just saw his tag team partner get attacked.
34:26And Prosper is done with birthright.
34:28Come on, E.K.
34:29You gotta be smart as you can.
34:30You gotta be smart as you can.
34:31You gotta be smart as you can.
34:31And there it is, the numbers advantage, birthright.
34:34Boy, have they bought into their own.
34:38Look at this.
34:38Let's show Legacy.
34:39What the hell?
34:40Legacy is back.
34:42What is he doing back?
34:43Legacy started to even the odds.
34:45He was sidelined for weeks.
34:47Had to miss the speed tournament.
34:48But look at Shawn Legacy go.
34:53Incoming.
35:03Let them know who we are.
35:07Well look, there's a lot of going back and forth here.
35:09And we have an official.
35:13Legacy going in man.
35:15Legacy going in opportunity.
35:18Legacy 100%.
35:19I can say it again.
35:19I don't know who he is.
35:21But look, we thought we weren't gonna have this tag team match after what we just witnessed.
35:24We are gonna have it because Shawn Legacy is here.
35:27Legacy in the corner of his pal, of his buddy, of his friend.
35:31Look at that leg taped up, that right knee is still taped up.
35:34I don't know if this kid's 100% this smart for Legacy to come out.
35:38You gotta think about yourself, man.
35:39Look, it's interesting because I saw Shawn Legacy earlier today as he rolls right through
35:43and I asked him how he was feeling.
35:45He responded, I'm super, thanks for asking.
35:47And he just hit a German suplex on Connors.
35:49Legacy doesn't show any sort of hesitation, does he?
35:53Legacy right there, he looks like his balance is there.
35:55I mean, his quickness is there.
35:56So maybe he's close to Big One.
35:59Well, certainly hoping he doesn't have a setback tonight.
36:02Big Chops.
36:03That he's not gonna hold back.
36:04I love it, man.
36:05He's not gonna slow down.
36:07We're gonna see if he has any hesitation.
36:09Or he has not, but Booker, as we get a cover, a hook of the leg, and a near fall.
36:14How unpredictable has this Tuesday been here on NXT?
36:18I love it, man.
36:19Like I said, it goes back to what we said at the beginning of the year.
36:22Opportunity right there.
36:23And the field has been weeded out a whole lot.
36:27Now it's time for somebody to step up.
36:30Could it be EK Prosper who has checked into this matchup?
36:33A tag was made.
36:34Stax is now legal.
36:35Take some tag there.
36:36Prosper doesn't realize it.
36:37Well, maybe he does.
36:39And this is that after this.
36:40My God.
36:41Take the break.
36:42Look at this.
36:44My God.
36:46Well, certainly Birthright didn't plan for this.
36:49They attacked Dukes, but they didn't plan for Legacy.
36:52Or EK Prosper.
36:54No.
36:55Beautiful right there by the Birthright.
36:57And Legacy got dropped.
36:58Count is on the move.
37:00Taking out Prosper.
37:02Stax taking out Legacy.
37:04Birthright is rolling here on NXT.
37:29Everybody watching around the world, tag team action birthright into the cover hook of the leg.
37:34Stax Lorenzo.
37:36They took out EK Prosper's original partner, DVD.
37:41The Belgian buddy of Stax put it.
37:43But Dukes.
37:44But Dukes.
37:45And you know, yeah, him.
37:46And you know what Booker?
37:47They thought they were gonna get away with him.
37:49They certainly did not.
37:51Birthright I think is scared of EK Prosper.
37:54I don't believe that at all man.
37:56Who's about competition?
37:57Who's about going out there and taking out the competition?
38:01Divided Conker.
38:02It's business man.
38:03It's business man.
38:04You keep saying that, but I believe Birthright is starting to buy into his own.
38:07Beautiful job there by Conker.
38:08I like the attitude of this Gerard Conker's man.
38:12How low can Birthright go?
38:14You talking about how low can they go?
38:16Okay, well they attack Dorian.
38:17They're probably behind the attack of Elio Lafleur.
38:20Who cares?
38:21What do you mean who cares?
38:23Elio Lafleur had a hand over, had to relinquish his championship that the king is now wearing.
38:28You know what that teach Elio Lafleur?
38:29When he comes back, watch your back, sir.
38:32Watch your back.
38:33You gonna be DTA.
38:35Don't trust anybody.
38:36That's what this business has been built on me.
38:39You know what?
38:40Whoa, whoa, whoa.
38:41Wow.
38:42Did you see that?
38:43I did see it and I saw the tag as well.
38:45Now Shawn Legacy has been, had a lot of pent up frustration.
38:48Has been on the sidelines for several weeks.
38:51Is back and in a big way.
38:53There's a Gord Buster drop kick combo.
38:56Legacy.
38:57Wait a minute, he's gonna fly.
38:58Damn it.
38:59Wow.
39:03Legacy fired up.
39:04There's been too much action surrounding us out here thus far this week, Booker.
39:09Legacy is just sucking up here tonight.
39:11Legacy, I gotta get this spot.
39:12There's a spot just open.
39:15Right to the eye.
39:16Gwinn Connors, the official was behind Connors at the moment.
39:21The door was open.
39:23Beautiful.
39:23And now here comes Stax and Perth Wright.
39:25Beautiful work.
39:26Back in control.
39:27Channing Stax right now looking good.
39:31And as this match goes on, we're gonna see just how good
39:36Shawn Legacy's right knee is.
39:39As you can come out fired up, but as the match goes on, you start to settle in.
39:43Is it not gonna hurt him a little more?
39:44The gas is gonna build up.
39:46And he's gonna show it out a lot.
39:47But it's incredible.
39:48We're just giving 80% or 75%.
39:51Right now he's running out of adrenaline.
39:53And that adrenaline just ran out.
39:56Yes.
39:57Tag was made.
39:58Connors back in this matchup.
39:59And you take a look at Uriah Connors joined Birthright.
40:03And when he did so, Booker, he said-
40:07Tag knife, man.
40:08Chopped by Connors, baby.
40:10He said, I saw the light.
40:12I wanted to join winners.
40:14With that being said, isn't it time for Connors to step up?
40:17Do something.
40:19Uriah Connors.
40:20Double up, double up.
40:21Uriah Connors bought in, man.
40:23Here we go, here we go.
40:25Cover, count, kick out.
40:26About six months ago when he was tagging with the kid, with the Kel Dixon.
40:29He showed me something.
40:31He said that he was ready to pull the trigger.
40:33Kel wasn't.
40:34He dropped it like a hot potato.
40:36And now look at it.
40:38You can't run away from it.
40:40You can't run away from it, man.
40:41Look at this textbook tag team action we have in this matchup with Connors coming right back in.
40:49They certainly have kept Legacy far away from E.K. Prosper.
40:55Prosper.
40:59He's a little extra fired up right now.
41:03Which one of these two teams leaves NXT victorious?
41:13Birthright has been in control.
41:15Shawn Legacy, is he 100%?
41:17Is he 90%?
41:18What we do know is he is medically cleared.
41:20He came into this matchup.
41:22He was able to come in to help out E.K. Prosper.
41:25And right here, Legacy was rocking.
41:28He was rolling.
41:29He was feeling it.
41:30But it was Birthright who turned it around in a big way.
41:33And remember, Shawn Legacy wasn't around in this matchup.
41:37Wow. It was supposed to be DVD.
41:39He was attacked, was Dorian.
41:42By Birthright, taken out of this matchup.
41:44Because Birthright was looking to have an easy night in their eyes.
41:47To have E.K. Prosper one-on-one.
41:50That was not the case.
41:51And Shawn Legacy looking to make high impact offense.
41:54Shawn Legacy was quick to step in.
41:56The thing is, you don't know if Shawn Legacy was here to take the shine or
41:59is he really out here to help E.K.?
42:01I don't know.
42:02I really don't know.
42:04Well, Connors now.
42:06And Connors got countered by Legacy.
42:10Legacy up, over, and bam!
42:15Dropping Connors center of the ring.
42:17And right now for Legacy, Desperation's got to make a tag.
42:21Desperate right now.
42:22Desperation mode for both of these guys.
42:26And we're in the deep waters of this matchup.
42:29One would think E.K. might have to adjust to a different partner.
42:32But obviously, he and Legacy have a rapport.
42:35They're friends.
42:36They know each other so well.
42:38Legacy came in here for us, buddy.
42:40And now Prosper checking into the match.
42:43He's so dynamic.
42:45Yeah, baby.
42:47And Prosper wants another opportunity at that speed.
42:50Championship that's around the waist of Alexis King.
42:53And it's King who thinks he's now the fastest man on the planet
42:57because he holds that title.
43:01What is Prosper thinking?
43:04A little two for one.
43:06Yeah.
43:07Yeah.
43:08And it's Stax is legal.
43:09Stax is legal.
43:10Yeah.
43:11Look at that.
43:13Look at that.
43:13Look at that.
43:15My God.
43:16Connors caught him.
43:18Certainly did, but Legacy catching Connors.
43:20Stax catching Legacy.
43:22Stax back up.
43:23So is Prosper.
43:24Prosper coming around, gets caught.
43:26Waistlock coming in.
43:27Tag was made.
43:27Connors now illegal.
43:28Prosper is in trouble.
43:31Big kick followed up.
43:34Beautiful continuity here by the Birthright.
43:37Two for one.
43:38Time connected.
43:40Is that gonna be enough for the Birthright tonight?
43:43And Legacy breaks it up.
43:45Legacy there at the nick of time to break up that action.
43:50Wow.
43:50Yes.
43:51What a tag team matchup.
43:53One that we thought we weren't gonna see after what happened to DVD.
43:58Give it up for Legacy, man.
43:59Legacy came in and he's backing up EK and I love it.
44:03This is awesome.
44:05A tag was made.
44:06Got caught to Connors.
44:08Connors is illegal.
44:09It's Stax.
44:10Stax got caught by EK Prosper.
44:14And Prosper going to the top.
44:16Tag was made.
44:17Legacy is now legal.
44:18Big moves all connected.
44:22But it's Legacy who saved the day earlier tonight.
44:26And is now looking for some shambles.
44:29Wow, look at that.
44:31One, two, three.
44:33What an upset tonight.
44:35You ain't loud, sir.
44:37Here are your winners.
44:39The team up.
44:43Sore losers.
44:44That's what Birthright is.
44:47Dempsey, King.
44:48Yeah.
44:52Set him up.
44:53Set him up.
44:54I want the business.
44:55No, no.
44:56Yeah, you can say it's business, but their plan didn't go their way.
44:59They were outsmarted.
45:00This is business.
45:01This is business, man.
45:04Connors is uncalled for.
45:06Legacy paying the price.
45:09I think that's, is that Tate Wilder from Evolve?
45:13It is.
45:15What else is gonna happen tonight?
45:17Let's go with these kids.
45:19Everybody trying to get a piece of the action.
45:21Everybody trying to take that opportunity.
45:24Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate.
45:29Come on.
45:30Come on.
45:32Dempsey dropped to the outside.
45:35Birthright right now.
45:36Are they are really?
45:38Of all Tate Wilder making an immediate impact.
45:45What and who else is going to arrive tonight?
45:53Do you think there's any more girls that are going to come in here?
45:55Are we good?
45:56I don't know.
45:57Because after watching SmackDown and Raw, NXT is literally anyone's for the second.
46:01So I don't know nothing.
46:02Y'all know something?
46:03You think I know anything?
46:06Why y'all sound so worried?
46:07No, ain't nobody worried.
46:08We were just asking.
46:09Ah, Jada Parker scared of a little competition.
46:12You ain't got an old reason.
46:13What you say?
46:14You scared.
46:15That's what I thought you said.
46:16See, it never gave scare.
46:18So I'm gonna need your ass to tread a little bit lightly.
46:20Or what?
46:21I wouldn't do that if I were you.
46:22Ain't nobody asked you.
46:24All right.
46:24I tried.
46:24See, that's the problem with y'all women in this locker room.
46:27Kelly Armstrong gonna be the difference maker up in here.
46:31And if they gotta start with checking Jada, then so be it.
46:35See, I'm about to have none of that color.
46:36Okay.
46:37All right.
46:42On Saturday, May 9th, after the biggest weekend in WWE,
46:46what happens at WrestleMania doesn't stay there.
46:50Sweet, sweet revenge.
46:52It follows you.
46:54And in Tampa, it hits back.
46:58All scores are settled.
47:00It's personal.
47:03It's backlash.
47:44WWE NXT will soon be available in one place.
47:48NXT premium live events will air exclusively on the CW starting this summer.
47:54All your favorite NXT superstars, the heart pounding action will be available in one place.
48:00And that is only right here on the CW.
48:02That was the major news that we learned earlier today from the one and only heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.
48:10And I mean, this is huge.
48:12It truly is a brand new era here in NXT.
48:16And Booker, I look at you.
48:18Just how big is this for this brand?
48:20You know, I just hope, I just hope to bring the young guys in that locker know how big this
48:26opportunity really is.
48:27Who's gonna be next?
48:29Who's gonna be next?
48:30Well, that's the question we've been asking.
48:31Who's gonna be next?
48:32Whether it's from LFG coming from our left, someone from Evolve coming through the NXT Universe.
48:37But we talked about the future, that's all gonna go down this summer.
48:40Let's talk about what happened last week right here on NXT as it surrounds our NXT Women's Championship.
48:48You know, we talked about a lot of challengers for Lola Vice.
48:51We've talked about a lot of different women that could step up, that could walk into that championship title picture.
48:57And then you start talking about Izzy Day.
49:02One thing you're gonna learn about the coaling is we're always two steps ahead,
49:06which is exactly why I'm gonna be the NXT Women's Champion.
49:11You talk about making an impact.
49:14It was felt last Tuesday.
49:17And as she says, it is what it is.
49:22You are throwing caution to the wind, you look fired up.
49:26Heck yes, Stone, I am fired up.
49:27I've been waiting for my chance.
49:29It's time to let me loose.
49:30I'm ready.
49:31Well, hey, welcome to NXT, Tate.
49:33Sir.
49:34Mr. Stone, Izzy wants to play games?
49:37Well, I'm about to call her out.
49:43Uno, dos, tres, cuatro.
49:48If you wanna come get it, I hit heavy.
49:52You can get it called a medic.
49:56Laser focus is our women's champion.
50:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome one half of the Triple A Mixed Tag and the NXT Women's Champion, Lola Vice.
50:14Lola Vice means business tonight.
50:17Izzy, last week you said the calling was always two steps ahead.
50:24You blindsided me and you think you did your big one.
50:28You think you had your moment.
50:31Izzy, I feel sorry for you because you can't do anything on your own and the moment you do, you're
50:40getting knocked out.
50:41So I'm standing in this ring right now, no waiting, no hiding, and I want you to come out here
50:50so everyone here could see what I'm about to do to you.
50:54I've already said I'm about to be the realest champion this place has ever seen.
50:59No excuses, just a straight up fight.
51:03So dale, Izzy, mama, ven pa- ven pa- ven pa- show me what you got.
51:08Lola.
51:10Hola, Lola.
51:13You really didn't think this through, did you? Especially after what happened last week.
51:18Listen champ, some free advice.
51:21If you're looking to hang on to your NXT Women's Championship, then you need to stay one step ahead.
51:27Just like the calling always is.
51:32One step ahead.
51:40It looks like you got me again.
51:43Or did you?
51:46Booker, look who it is.
51:48Vicky, Vicky's here.
51:51Yeah.
51:54Well, Triple A makes Tag Team Champions, taking it to the coming.
52:01What else is going to happen?
52:03Oh, yes, guys.
52:05Here tonight on NXT.
52:07We want out, we want out, we want out, we want out, we want out, we want out, we want
52:13out, we want out.
52:14Ain't nothing to worry about, bro.
52:15No, no, what you want out there, fam, huh?
52:17I bet that's exactly what you wanted.
52:19You bet you real, real happy right now, ain't you, huh?
52:21I was just genuinely trying to help you.
52:22I genuinely didn't need it, fool.
52:25Well, just because you couldn't get the job done last week.
52:27Now you want to make this person.
52:28Yeah, then you want to go ahead and dirty me, huh?
52:30That's what you wanted to do.
52:30But you can't seriously believe that I would cost you gold on purpose.
52:35I don't know what to believe no more, fam.
52:36You've been acting real, real weird as of late, bro.
52:39Real weird.
52:39I ain't never tried to put you on game, bro.
52:41I gave you my half of the tag titles.
52:43You remember that?
52:43Yeah, my participation trophy.
52:45That was real, real selfless of you, fool.
52:47Real nice, man.
52:48I had no damn choice.
52:49All right, shut up.
52:50Enough.
52:51We did it your way.
52:52We did it your way.
52:53It didn't work.
52:54Give it up.
52:54Hey, you two need to get your head out your asses, bro.
52:56Y'all dropping the ball.
52:59Now we got a new plan.
53:01Our first gold was tag gold, right?
53:03Mm-hm.
53:04We're gonna go get that back.
53:05We're gonna go get that back.
53:08Woo!
53:11I'll be right in the pool.
53:13Well, Darks Day better go down the same page, but tonight has been all about new faces.
53:18New opportunities.
53:19This match-up is presented by Progressive.
53:22Lizzy Reigns, NXT debut against Nikita Lions.
53:54Scream for the NXT!
53:57Lizzy Reign is bringing heavy metal tonight and
54:01the world is about to find out that Lizzy Reign and
54:04heavy metal will never, ever die.
54:19The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
54:24Introducing first, from London, England, Lizzy Reign.
54:31Well, I have a feeling that the in your face attitude is something you're
54:37going to admire, Booker.
54:38Loud engine, head banger, yeah!
54:46Rock on, man!
54:52NXT Universe on their feet,
54:55they've been waiting for this moment, and the moment is now.
55:25We know this woman will not be a stepping stone for anyone.
55:30We know this woman will not be a stepping stone for you.
55:33Lizzy Reign, I wholeheartedly understand being unapologetic.
55:37But your heavy metal vibe is just like too loud, and
55:42it's messing with my frequency.
55:43So I asked Mr. Stone to be your first opponent, because with all the new
55:47opportunities opening up on NXT, the last thing that I'm about to do is just sit
55:51back and let new girls like you jump the line in front of the divine feline.
55:56It's time to get that W.
56:03Well, here we go, Book.
56:05That's the line, Book, man.
56:07Look, and think about tonight, and all the new crop of talent that has arrived.
56:12Dan Hendrix, you know very well, Tristan, Angels, Tate, Wilder, and-
56:17Lizzy Reign, and yes, Lizzy Reign.
