00:00in the wrong spot.
00:01Damn, Detroit.
00:06And we're hoping
00:07I'm coming in by Kendall Gray.
00:10She is the Women's
00:12Speed Champion
00:13Red Sinclair.
00:17You know, summer's
00:18coming up. There's a lot of plans,
00:19a lot of families, and the question I have
00:22for everyone watching right now,
00:23have you ever wanted to be a part
00:26of this chaos?
00:28The chaos that is
00:29NXT, because right now
00:31you can use the QR code there
00:33on your screen, and you can join us
00:35live, in person,
00:38on Tuesday night,
00:39right here inside the Performance
00:41Center. There is nothing like
00:43NXT Live on a Tuesday.
00:45You ain't driving, man. Actions get
00:48hot and heavy
00:49around this place, dog.
00:52Well, between these two women, things got
00:53chippy on a few different occasions
00:56between the two. Is that just the nature of
00:57the beast here in NXT?
00:59It is. It's the nature of the beast, because
01:01everybody, but everybody, I mean,
01:03everybody is jumping at the bit,
01:06jockeying for position,
01:07especially right now.
01:09You know, you take a look at this matchup,
01:11Red Sinclair, Kalani Jordan,
01:12evenly matched, Superstars, nice counter,
01:15falling right into the cover, nice counter.
01:16This time by Kalani,
01:17shifting right back is Red Sinclair,
01:19a little bit of a stalemate. Both women back up,
01:21and it is even.
01:23Who has the advantage, though,
01:24truly, in this?
01:25Oh, beautiful.
01:26Take down there by Sinclair.
01:27I'm telling you right now,
01:28with the advancement of Red Sinclair
01:31over the last six months,
01:32she's moved up.
01:33It's even odds right now.
01:35It's for tonight,
01:36any given Tuesday.
01:38That's the way I look at it.
01:39I don't know.
01:40You know, the camera's not catching it right now,
01:41but from our angle,
01:42you saw the torque on the knee bending out.
01:45Obviously, that's wise of Red Sinclair
01:47to try to take away the advantage
01:49of Kalani that she has in her athleticism.
01:51Exactly what I'm talking about.
01:52Red Sinclair has stepped her game up,
01:53and trust me,
01:55when Kidman Gray at her side,
01:57it's iron sharp.
01:58It's iron, man.
01:59Hold on.
01:59When you take a look at this
02:00submission specialist,
02:01it is Red Sinclair.
02:02Do you favor that ground attack,
02:03or are you favoring Jordan's
02:05high-flying style in this matchup?
02:07As there we see Ricky Saints,
02:08he's getting focused
02:09for the main event here tonight
02:11against Shiloh Hill.
02:12Like I said,
02:13I admire Red Sinclair's
02:15on her route
02:16to becoming speed champion.
02:18Her game has stepped up,
02:19but right now,
02:20she's in the ring
02:21with world-class competition
02:23in Kalani Jordan, man.
02:25When you talk about competition,
02:27you talk about this women's division.
02:29Look, this is a loaded question,
02:30but just how loaded
02:32is the women's division here in NXT?
02:34Everyone looking at
02:36the women's champion Lola Vice.
02:37It's stacked.
02:38I mean, you just mentioned it.
02:39Lola Vice, Tatum Hattie,
02:41Red Sinclair's speed champion,
02:42and she's got to move right now.
02:44Yes, it's stacked.
02:46Everybody's looking to come up.
02:47Oh, beautiful.
02:48Sitting down,
02:49rolling right through against
02:50center of the ring,
02:51another kick out,
02:52and then when you throw in
02:52the newer rivals from Evolve,
02:55Callie Armstrong,
02:56the woman we just saw
02:57make her NXT debut,
02:58Lizzy Rain.
03:00Oh, and what a drop kick.
03:01Lizzy Rain gave me something.
03:03She gave me this-
03:03Cover, cover, cover,
03:04and a kick out.
03:05She gave me this guitar pick.
03:07She said she was going to pick
03:08her way all the way
03:09to the top
03:09of the women's division.
03:11Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
03:13Oh, yes.
03:14I didn't know she played
03:14the banjo.
03:15I thought she played
03:16the electric guitar,
03:16but we'll talk about that.
03:18It's a guitar pick.
03:19It's a guitar pick.
03:20I don't get it, but I don't think
03:20ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding,
03:22is exactly the guitar she plays
03:23when she's talking about
03:24heavy metal and the rock attitude
03:25as this match will continue
03:26with Callie Jordan in control.
03:29Callie has made some bold,
03:31factual points
03:32throughout the last several weeks.
03:33She is the only superstar
03:35to tap out Lola.
03:36Should there be more respect
03:38on the name
03:38of Callie Jordan?
03:40I mean, it should.
03:41Like I say,
03:41she's got world-class potential.
03:44I mean, right now,
03:45she's already been
03:45a knockout champion.
03:47I mean, she's North American.
03:48She's done so much already, Vick.
03:52Oh, what a kick
03:54between the eyes
03:55in the official right now,
03:56Jeremy Mark has had to look
03:57a little extra close
03:58as Callie just got Steve Rol
04:00one more time.
04:01Bone down right there.
04:02Red flying in, face first,
04:04going into the cover,
04:05looking for the victory
04:06in that right shoulder
04:08just off the map.
04:10I like Callie Jordan saying,
04:12look, it's not about
04:13a speed championship
04:14or anything.
04:14I just want to get in there
04:15and go toe-to-toe,
04:17see who's the best
04:18in a one-on-one matchup.
04:19I like that right there
04:21from Callie.
04:22There's been a very evenly
04:23match contest
04:24between these two women
04:26who come in so highly touted
04:28this year
04:28and take a look
04:29with a little bit of a twist.
04:30Didn't land.
04:31Ren Sinclair had it scouted
04:33and a big right hand
04:35connecting with Callie.
04:36And that kick connected as well.
04:38And there was enough momentum
04:39that carried Jordan
04:40to the outside.
04:42And Ren Sinclair
04:43right back in
04:44with a drop kick.
04:46Came down,
04:46landed on that knee
04:47right there, though, Vic.
04:50Yeah, might have landed
04:51a little awkward.
04:51Referee checking
04:52on Ren Sinclair.
04:54Sinclair said she's okay.
04:56This match rolls on.
05:12You know, even as champion,
05:14Ren still seems, Booker,
05:15just to have a chip
05:17on her shoulder,
05:18so to speak.
05:19But she better make
05:19that chip a bolder
05:21if she want to hold on
05:22to that championship
05:23as well as add more titles
05:25to her reign.
05:26Here we go!
05:27Here we go!
05:29Talking about being
05:29a submission specialist, though.
05:30Kalani joined
05:31doing a nice job
05:32at trying to break
05:32this hold.
05:33Ren Sinclair
05:34trying everything she can
05:35to increase the pressure.
05:38And now Ren
05:38trying really to hold on.
05:39Yeah, but look
05:40at the body positioning.
05:42Ren, you hear Ren screaming.
05:43And I go back, Booker,
05:45to what just happened
05:46on the outside.
05:47Counter, cover, kick out.
05:50Ren Sinclair's knee.
05:51It was when...
05:52Did you notice that?
05:53Yeah, that left knee
05:54is tweaked.
05:54It's tweaked,
05:55but right now
05:55she's fighting through it.
05:57That's what you got
05:57to do right there.
05:58The adrenaline is flowing
05:59right now, Vic.
06:00And I don't just...
06:01Oh!
06:03On the landing
06:04on the outside.
06:05Wow!
06:05That is how Kalani
06:06was able to navigate
06:07her way free
06:08by pulling on that knee.
06:11Vic, look at this.
06:12Kalani joined.
06:13She's got a target.
06:15She's got a target
06:16on that bullseye
06:17and she's locked in
06:19on that right knee,
06:21on that left knee.
06:23And now really just
06:24trying to rip it
06:25right out of the socket.
06:30I'll tell you something,
06:32Kalani Jordan
06:32is going deep
06:33into her playbook
06:34right there.
06:34It's not about anything
06:35other than winning
06:36with Kalani lately.
06:37I love...
06:38You got to have
06:39that attitude
06:39in this business, Vic.
06:46Well, NXT Universe
06:47trying to rally
06:47Renson Sinclair,
06:49but it's kind of hard
06:50to get into
06:51any sort of fight.
06:52And it's not just
06:53the knee too, Booker.
06:54I don't know
06:54if you're noticing,
06:55if you look up
06:55from the monitor,
06:56not only the knee,
06:57she's also grabbing
06:58that left ankle.
07:00Ankle-knee combo.
07:02Kalani knows it.
07:03Kalani's starting
07:04to exploit it.
07:05Kalani said something
07:06earlier that resonated
07:07with me.
07:08She said,
07:08it's not about friends.
07:10It tells me a lot
07:13about Kalani Jordan.
07:14She finally woke up, man.
07:16She finally understands
07:17what this business
07:18is truly about.
07:20Oh, really right now,
07:22bending on that ankle,
07:23bending on that knee,
07:25trying to force a submission.
07:27Referee in great position.
07:29Kendall Gray there
07:29on the outside
07:30trying to rally
07:31her tag team partner,
07:33her Ren QCC teammate,
07:35the women's speed champion.
07:36And one would think
07:37Kalani gets a victory
07:38should she not be in line
07:39for a speed championship
07:40opportunity.
07:41I don't think she wants
07:42the speed championship.
07:43I think she would have
07:44asked for a title match
07:45if she wanted that.
07:46I think she just
07:46want to go out
07:47and prove how good
07:48she really is
07:49in that 20 by 20 fit.
07:51I know we already mentioned
07:52Lizzie Reign already,
07:53but I just can't get over
07:54all the new arrivals
07:56here tonight on NXT.
07:59Tell you, man,
08:00I mean,
08:00Cam Hendricks
08:01finally making his debut.
08:04The Heisman!
08:05I love it, man!
08:08Continue now,
08:09look at Kalani
08:10mocking
08:12the NXT universe.
08:15This matchup
08:16has been all Kalani,
08:18Jordan,
08:18and for good reason.
08:20Can Kalani
08:21continue to
08:22keep her focus
08:23and walk out
08:24with a victory?
08:32Kalani Jordan
08:33has systematically
08:34dissected
08:35Ren Sinclair
08:36and let's go back
08:36to this moment.
08:37It was right before
08:39the break
08:40a few moments ago.
08:42You called it out
08:42in real time.
08:44Since then,
08:45Ren Sinclair
08:45has literally
08:46not been able
08:47to get back
08:48to her feet.
08:50And it's not just
08:51the left knee.
08:52I also believe
08:52it's the left ankle.
08:54Inside cradle!
08:54Inside cradle!
08:55And a kick out.
08:56Can you imagine
08:57if Jordan made
08:58Sinclair tap out two?
09:00We'd never hear
09:01the end of it.
09:01I mean,
09:02come on,
09:02she is good,
09:03Vic.
09:03I wouldn't be
09:04surprised
09:04at that.
09:05But that high-risk
09:06reward,
09:07that dropkick
09:08to the outside,
09:09it landed,
09:09but that gnarly
09:11landing that
09:12Ren Sinclair took.
09:13You can see
09:14the effects of it
09:14right now,
09:15Vic.
09:16Still clutching
09:17at that left knee.
09:18You know,
09:18if you go back
09:19and you think
09:19about this matchup,
09:20is that going
09:21to be the moment
09:21when Ren Sinclair
09:22realizes I didn't
09:23need to take that risk?
09:24I had everything
09:25in control.
09:26I could have just
09:26went to the outside
09:27and got Kalani back in.
09:28That's what it's all
09:29about.
09:29When you're young,
09:29you're going to go
09:30out there,
09:30you're going to take
09:31those risks.
09:32You're going to take
09:33those risks.
09:33Oh!
09:35That was hot!
09:36Oh!
09:37To steal a quote
09:38from my two-time
09:40Hall of Fame
09:41broadcast partner,
09:42that had some
09:42Cholula green on it.
09:44Cholula green on it.
09:46Swing and a miss
09:46by Kalani.
09:47Back in,
09:47back down.
09:48Big clothesline
09:49this time
09:49from Sinclair.
09:51And Ren Sinclair
09:52now is trying
09:53to block out
09:53the pain.
09:54And his adrenaline
09:55will make a woman
09:56do crazy,
09:57crazy things.
09:58And now the
09:58competitive fire
09:59inside the Speed
10:00Champion starting
10:01to come out double
10:03underhooked suplex.
10:04Ren out of the
10:04corner.
10:05Floats into the
10:06cover and it's
10:06not going to keep
10:07Kalani down.
10:09Gotta steal the gas.
10:10Gotta steal the gas.
10:11Ren right there.
10:12It's gut check time.
10:13Everybody knows
10:14what you're going
10:15through.
10:15You gotta suck it up.
10:17Ren trying to get
10:17Kalani over one more
10:18time.
10:19Could be looking
10:19for that final wrench
10:20but wise of Kalani.
10:22Beautiful work.
10:22I mean when there's
10:23a bullseye on the
10:23body you need to
10:24stay on it.
10:25Am I wrong?
10:25There's a target
10:26right there.
10:26Kalani Jones
10:27she's smart.
10:28She's smart to go
10:29to stay on that
10:31target.
10:32It's all about
10:32checks and
10:33championships.
10:34Big wins.
10:35Got countered
10:35and a kick out.
10:36And you just saw
10:37the pain on the
10:38face of Ren
10:39Sinclair.
10:40I can only imagine
10:41what's shooting
10:41through her body
10:42right now.
10:43It's just holding
10:44on.
10:44Was Kalani
10:45and again Kalani
10:46going to that
10:47knee.
10:47And you can't
10:48falter for what
10:49she's doing right
10:50now.
10:51Big cutter over
10:52the top.
10:54And Kalani
10:55could be closing
10:56in.
10:57Ren Sinclair
10:58so much damage
11:00has been done.
11:02She's in the
11:02drop zone.
11:04Here we go.
11:06The knees from the
11:07frog splash.
11:08Cover.
11:12And I don't know
11:12how much damage
11:13Ren did to herself
11:14but she's almost
11:15able to get the
11:16victory.
11:16And now looking
11:17for the final
11:17wrench.
11:18Looking for the
11:19submission.
11:19But the knee
11:20poker that knee
11:20gave out.
11:21That was great
11:22awareness.
11:23Put the knees up
11:23right now.
11:24That knee
11:25is a
11:26dire straight
11:27thick.
11:28It's a dire
11:28straight.
11:29Say that again.
11:30Up and over
11:31goes Sinclair.
11:33And the body
11:34gave out.
11:35That knee
11:36gave way.
11:37And now Jordan
11:38looking for
11:39one of a kind
11:40split-legged
11:41moonsault.
11:43Jordan
11:44stands out
11:45tonight.
11:47What a match.
11:48Here's your
11:49winner,
11:50Kalani
11:51Jordan.
11:54I take
11:54nothing away
11:55from
11:56Ren Sinclair
11:56who is
11:57screaming
11:58in pain
11:59right now.
12:00How much
12:01damage truly
12:02has been done
12:03to that left
12:04knee,
12:04perhaps even
12:05that left
12:06ankle,
12:07but tonight
12:07belongs
12:09to Kalani
12:10Jordan.
12:11This was the
12:11last-ditch effort
12:12really from
12:14Ren Sinclair.
12:15She put the
12:15knees up
12:16and this
12:17will go back
12:17to how much
12:18damage is done.
12:19She couldn't
12:19put any weight
12:20while she was
12:21in that
12:22submission.
12:22The knee
12:23gave out.
12:23Jeremy Martin
12:24is not
12:24official in
12:25great positioning,
12:26but the door
12:26was open
12:27and then it
12:28was slammed
12:28shut
12:29by Kalani.
12:32And concern
12:33on the faces
12:34of those
12:34around Ren
12:35in this
12:36moment,
12:37but all
12:37Kalani cares
12:38about is
12:39another victory
12:41here on
12:42NXT.
