00:00is brought to you by Tahine, a unique blend of mild chili peppers, lime, and
00:04sea salt. What's your way to Tahine?
00:08Take a look at Kendall Gray, though, Brooke.
00:10Is she too emotional heading into this main event?
00:13You just saw the little back and forth we had with Callie.
00:15She got right in the face of Kalani here moments ago.
00:18Definitely not focused coming out into the match, but I look at this match and
00:22I've been waiting on it all night because Patel is the type,
00:26these ladies right here, almost virtually identical.
00:30Who's got the most count?
00:32That's what he's got the ball down to, Vic.
00:34You give this the definition of a locker room sellout here in NXT?
00:38Yes, most definitely it's a locker room sellout because everybody knows the
00:42implications of a matchup like this.
00:44I mean, you look at Kalani Jordan, he's been so special, but you look at Kendall Gray trying to
00:48take that spot away from her, beautiful, beautiful weight like takedown.
00:53It's time to look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive.
00:58You know Lola Vice is watching, Vice Gray obviously wanna run it back,
01:03as we heard earlier tonight, as we get a backslide, shoulders down,
01:06rolling right through his client, back up, and a big knee right to the gut of Kendall Gray.
01:11Is it fair to say, Booker, because I've said it a few times, is it fair to say the winner
01:16should be in line for a women's championship opportunity?
01:18Look at you right there, no, no, no.
01:19I think one of these ladies, whoever in this match, they should be the member one contender.
01:24Like I say, we're looking to find out who's gonna be the face of this brand, Vic.
01:28There's a competition.
01:29Well, there is the NXT Women's Champion looking on as she said she would.
01:33You just heard from Callie Armstrong said she would be watching the action very,
01:37very closely.
01:37And for Kendall Gray, it's a little two-fold here.
01:40Trying to get back to what Kalani did to her friend there, as you see on crutches,
01:44the Women's Speed Champion, Rhett Sinclair.
01:46But also, climbed the division ladder here in NXT, as the pace starting to quicken.
01:51Looking for the hip toss, counter, coming right back in.
01:53Fireman's carrying, landing on her feet.
01:55Drip kick from Kalani, taking Gray down.
01:59Tumbling background like that, it just came into play right there.
02:02Let me tell you, let me tell you, Kalani Jordan, she's a special, special talent.
02:07She's moving up at an astronomical pace.
02:10But I'm gonna tell you right now, Kevin Gray, gonna play that for a stop here tonight.
02:15Well, this rivalry dates all the way back to the final premium live event of 2025,
02:19which was Deadline, as these two women were in that Iron Survivor matchup.
02:22That's charging right through, going around is Kendall, coming right back in,
02:26trying to pick the foot, flopping right over, landing on her feet.
02:29And then getting caught is Kalani, who gets dropped face first, hit,
02:33drop kick right to the side of the face.
02:35Is this what you talked about?
02:37Oh, yeah.
02:38These two even, Steven, 50-50.
02:41You tell you, Kalani Jordan normally would have a speed advantage in a matchup,
02:45but not tonight, Vic.
02:47Side step and a kick right to the side of the face for Kalani.
02:51And these two have to feel the pressure of this matchup.
02:54What's Kalani looking for, piling for a powerbomb, a pile driver,
02:57whatever it was, it was countered.
02:59Kalani, though, able to get right back into the ring.
03:01Smart, so smart there by Kalani.
03:04Nice strategy here, two by Gray, taking Kalani down, going up, going over,
03:08double stop to the stomach, into the cover, hooking the outside leg, and another near fall.
03:14Man, you can't take it away from Kendall Gray.
03:17She's an extraordinary talent pick.
03:19It's hard to argue, and I- She really is.
03:21I don't think anyone is arguing with you, but you can start to feel the tension is
03:25another cover, another kick out, another roll through, another cover, another kick out,
03:28another roll through.
03:29Whoa!
03:29Travis Urban is earning his paycheck here tonight.
03:32As Roland, they're trying to pick the ankle for the ankle lock.
03:35Gray trying to get the submission.
03:36He's trying to tap out.
03:37And, well, Kalani certainly has stepped up her game, rounded herself out.
03:43He's now looking to go high risk, looking for that springboard outside of
03:47Moonsault to the outside.
03:50No one does it like me!
03:52You can hear Kalani screaming, no one does it like me.
03:56Nobody does it like Lonnie.
03:58Now starting to mock Ren Sinclair.
04:00Yeah, Ren on crutches because of Kalani Jordan and her actions,
04:04which is also fueling the fire of Kendall Gray.
04:07Wow.
04:08This is a human game of chess.
04:11Is it not, Booker?
04:12Typical is always on offer, but you've got to keep your eye on her at all times.
04:17All the way from the top.
04:18High risk pays off in this main event.
04:22High stakes.

07:15And fearless racing.
07:17Where NASCAR's newest superstars compete with nothing held back.
07:21Way to fight, buddy.
07:24The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts series Saturday from Dover at 3.30 Eastern, 12.30 Pacific on the CW.
07:31Kalani Jordan, Kendall Gray, this main event, which could have those championship implications that we've talked about, has been going
07:39on back and forth.
07:4050-50 and it continues to be that way in this match with Ren Sinclair looking on.
07:46Let's go back right before break.
07:48Kendall Gray put it on the line.
07:51She went for broke, but then right there was the turning point for Kalani Jordan, who is finally able to
07:57string together some offense, which has brought us to this moment right now.
08:02And for Kalani, she wants that championship success again.
08:05A former TNA Knockouts Champion.
08:07The first ever woman to hold the North American Championship on this brand.
08:12Three years ago, today was her first televised match in NXT, in WWE.
08:17And she's in here tonight competing at a high level with Kendall Gray.
08:21Kalani Jordan always come prepared for these matchups and always say,
08:25Preparation is the only luck you're gonna have.
08:28It looks like Kendall.
08:29Kendall's thinking the same exact thing, Vic.
08:33Well, Kalani right now, as you see Ren on the outside, she's got to be feeling good after
08:37everything that happened to her at the hands of Kalani Jordan, who just got tossed by Kendall.
08:43And now that amateur background starting to fire out of gray.
08:49Right back up and again, right back down goes Kalani.
08:53And this is starting to enter the wheelhouse, is it not of gray?
08:56It is, but Kalani's gotta figure something out, it's gonna try to create a little bit of
09:01separation of land, maybe a big shot to try to turn this thing back around.
09:06Could be looking for that big shot right now, got countered, cover, center of the ring.
09:10It's still not enough.
09:12That was close, Vic.
09:13I don't think enough people talk about the resiliency in Kalani Jordan as well.
09:17Really, she is starting to stand out over the last year.
09:21You gotta give it to Kendall Gray also being so young in this business in here with
09:24someone like Kalani Jordan.
09:26You gotta say she's prepared for this moment, Vic.
09:30Big shot.
09:32Yes, Cal.
09:33Kalani trying to rely on that championship background that she has had.
09:37She has been on the biggest stage.
09:38She's been under the brightest light.
09:40She has won at the highest level and just flew in with, I believe, was a flying forearm
09:44that caught Bray under the jaw.
09:46Now we're gonna follow up with a power bomb.
09:49Beautiful.
09:49Not all of it, but didn't get enough.
09:54Come on, ref.
09:58Look at the power, the strength, the precision.
10:02And it was close as the NXT Universe now starting to get fired up.
10:08So close, I thought it was a three-count, Vic.
10:11It was close.
10:12Dallas Ervin, though,'s hand did not come down for the three.
10:16And Kalani could be looking for that split-legged, one-of-a-kind.
10:20Moose out there was scouted and getting caught in the ankle lock.
10:23Right now, she's talking.
10:24She's still in a great position.
10:26Ref, do your job.
10:27Break the hole, ref.
10:28Break the hole.
10:29Three.
10:30Trying any if she can and a unique way to get out.
10:33But Kendall didn't break the hole.
10:35It's still holding on.
10:36Inside cradle again.
10:37Kendall still has a relinquish.
10:39Kicked out and is still turning, still cranking, still yanking,
10:42looking to get that tap.
10:44And Ness is going for a big,
10:45Kim Bajay is going for a half-pack, the biggest win of her young career.
10:49And it could set her up, it could set her up for a championship.
10:53Kalani is in desperation mode.
10:55You can see the look on her face, in her eyes, and whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:59Putting on the brakes at the last possible moment.
11:03Big time, big time.
11:03But how much has been taken out of the ankle, of the knee, of the leg.
11:07And they're looking for another submission.
11:09This time, looking for the arm bar.
11:11Kalani trying to hold on, not trying to break the grip quite yet.
11:15Pulling, shoulders may be down.
11:17Great positioning by the official, only it's a one count.
11:20That's the sword right there.
11:22Couldn't get the pin, and now knee after knee.
11:24By any means necessary.
11:27That's the one thing Kalani has learned.
11:31When you talk about those vicious knee strikes, as you said, by any means necessary.
11:36Kalani realized the shoulders weren't down.
11:38She went to plan B.
11:39Plan B was looking for that knockout blow, which relinquished the hold.
11:43Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, you gotta fight somebody to get a better position in a situation.
11:50Power slam, cover.
11:52This is how she picked Kalani and did one, and Kalani just got that shoulder up.
11:56What a power slam.
11:58Whoa.
11:59That was some flashbacks is there again.
12:02The NXT women's, hey.
12:04That's Izzy Dame.
12:06Izzy Dame just attacked Lola Vice.
12:09Everybody want a piece of the action, Vic.
12:11Everybody wants some.
12:13Trying to, this matchup's still continuing,
12:16as now all the way to the tippy top, and big massive Spanish fly.
12:21That's it.
12:21Will it be enough?
12:24What's up?
12:26These women are showing you what it means to be in contention.
12:30We talk about the year of opportunity.
12:32We talk about what this brand does.
12:34Think about Rhea Ripley.
12:35Think about Bayley.
12:36Think about Becky Lynch.
12:37Think about Stephanie Viqueira.
12:38Think about Julia.
12:39Think about Tiffany Stratton.
12:40All the women that have held the NXT Women's Championship.
12:44And there's the Women's Champion.
12:45Look at that.
12:46Izzy Dame, it spilled out live.
12:48Red got taken out.
12:51Sinclair got clipped.
12:53We still got a match going on though, Booker.
12:55Kendall was distracted by what was going on on the outside.
12:59She got taken out.
13:00And then that one of a kind, split-legged moonsault, cover, and the standout steps up.
13:09Here's her winner, Kalani Jordan.
13:16We talk about chaos throughout NXT.
13:20A fight that started in the back.
13:23Spilled out here, took out Ren Sinclair.
13:27And this is what I'm talking about.
13:30Everything that started to break down.
13:33Kendall right in there distracted, looking at her friend on the outside who was in dire
13:38straits with that knee injury, but any means necessary.
13:41You say it, you preach it, and Kalani proved that that was the way to get to the pay window,
13:50so to speak, so to speak, tonight.
13:51Tenky Championship fan, oh, yeah!
13:55Kalani Jordan with the victory tonight.
14:04I mean, it was instant contact, but on the outside.
14:18And with all eyes on the women's locker room, Dane has been locked in on our champion.
14:24Vice City might have just gotten a new resident, and it is what it is.
