00:00Ready to Roar!
00:09And her opponent from Los Angeles, California,
00:17Nikita Lange!
00:19Well, Nikita Multimedia expands her horizons yet again,
00:23from NXT to Evolve to LFG, even to TNA.
00:27And now for the first time in her career tonight on Main Event.
00:31Booker T and I have talked about on NXT that this is the year of opportunity,
00:36and this certainly is a big one for Nikita Lange.
00:39And you gotta wonder when it comes to NXT, she's had her issues recently with Zarya.
00:44You know, Zarya walked out on her two weeks ago on NXT TV in a tag team matchup.
00:50I mean, this is a big opportunity,
00:51but you gotta also start to think about what the general manager, Robert Stone,
00:55is thinking when he sees Nikita Lyons getting these opportunities.
00:58This may give Nikita more opportunities Tuesday nights.
01:02You make a great point there, Vic.
01:03Making her triumphant return to Tuesday nights at NXT a couple of weeks back.
01:07And, of course, she had her sights on the Women's North American Championship
01:10and Tatum Paxley.
01:11But, of course, you mentioned Zarya leaving her high and dry.
01:14Yeah, well, speaking of Tatum Paxley, by the way,
01:15what a fighting champion on NXT.
01:18Wants to give opportunities to everybody in the women's division,
01:20in the women's locker room did so this past Tuesday against Lizzy Reign.
01:24And, obviously, she also has her own issues with Zarya moving forward on NXT.
01:30As Big Cat Kita certainly came to fight here tonight against Maxine Dupree.
01:33As the alpha babe, oh, running right into Nikita right here,
01:36trying to stay one step ahead.
01:38And Nikita with a big strike.
01:40And if you've never seen Nikita Lyons, this is what you have to look out for.
01:42The striking ability.
01:44Don't let the dancing fool you.
01:45Don't let the acapella singing fool you.
01:47But, yeah, she can do it all.
01:48She can do TV.
01:48She can do movies.
01:49She can sing.
01:50She can do podcasts.
01:51But, when she starts to throw fists and starts to throw the feet,
01:54her striking ability is what could separate her.
01:56She, of course, has that kickboxing background.
01:58And, Vic, we talk about her on Tuesday nights.
02:00Also, Wednesday nights, Evolve on Tubi.
02:03Getting very close to the Women's Evolve Championship
02:06and, of course, winning to the champion.
02:07Well, that is great.
02:08I forgot.
02:09I should have mentioned that you are, of course, Mr. Evolve.
02:11Big night last night.
02:12It was a huge night.
02:13Oh!
02:14And look at Maxine ever so elusive right now.
02:16That goes back to the big week we have here in WWE.
02:1848 hours in Italy.
02:20Of course, Maxine Dupree right now trying to stay one step ahead
02:23against Nikita Lyons.
02:26Check my math.
02:2772 hours in Italy.
02:28It's actually next Saturday.
02:30Of course, coming to you from the Saturday night's main event.
02:32That's right, Saturday.
02:33I know your calendar is all mixed up right now.
02:34It's Big Cat Kita in control right here.
02:37And, Vic, you've seen Nikita Lyons ever since the very beginning of her career.
02:40How much improvement have you seen from her in recent months?
02:43You know, Booker T brings up a good point.
02:45That this is somebody who has shown, whether it's been on LFG on Sunday, so much promise
02:50has been hindered a little bit.
02:52Sideline due to some injuries.
02:53So, you really don't know what she can do.
02:56You really don't know what the limit is, what the ceiling is for Nikita Lyons.
03:01We certainly saw this past week, sitting under the learning tree, the two-time Hall of Famer,
03:05Booker T, Sunday on LFG.
03:07And right now, you see this back to that striking ability.
03:09Going out, trying to break down the body of Maxine.
03:12And, of course, Maxine trying to persevere here.
03:14Overcome two straight losses on main event.
03:17And she's had herself an interesting couple of weeks in the WWE.
03:20Samoan drop.
03:21Nikita trying to take advantage.
03:23Leg is hooked.
03:23Only gets two.
03:24And I think there's a lot of questions that surround Maxine Dupree, to your point,
03:27and what we've seen on Monday Night Raw.
03:29I don't really think we need to speculate on that.
03:32Because we don't want anyone, you know, pointing fingers at us and starting to look over here.
03:36But when it comes to Maxine Dupree, the thing you said that was very interesting is,
03:41two straight L's.
03:42What would happen if you took a third?
03:45It would be interesting to see right there.
03:46Certainly a lot of questions left to be answered surrounding Maxine Dupree.
03:50Look at Dupree right now.
03:51Nice counter.
03:52Rolls up Nikita.
03:53Gets only two right there.
03:55Of course, Maxine also celebrating a birthday earlier this week.
03:57Looking to finish on the highest of notes.
03:59She sent her a text.
04:01We communicated.
04:02That's very nice here.
04:04As Maxine right now, staying one step ahead of Nikita Lyons.
04:07Big opportunity right here on Main Event.
04:09As Big Cat Keita with a big strike.
04:13And looking for that tiger bone from the Lioness.
04:16Oh, this would be an upset.
04:17Enter the ring.
04:19And on the doorstep right there is Nikita Lyons.
04:21And look, Nikita Lyons is someone too who wants her name in the marquee.
04:24Whether it's 48 hours on Saturday night's Main Event or next Sunday as you mentioned in Italy.
04:28And of course, we're talking the women's division.
04:30A huge battle for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship this past Monday on Raw.
04:34The Judgment Day coming up just short.
04:36I mean, just short.
04:37But you talk about the men's tag team division.
04:40You talk about what we talk about with Frazier and Axiom.
04:43Think about all the teams right now that are looking for the women's tag team titles.
04:48And we have to mention the former champions, Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
04:52The irresistible forces certainly stepping up this Saturday.
04:54Saturday night's Main Event looking to become two-time women's tag team champions.
04:59As Maxine right now looking to overcome those two losses that we stated.
05:04And both these superstars take each other out.
05:06Center of the ring.
05:07You know, Nikita Lyons right now I think is showing a lot.
05:10We talk about the NXT general manager.
05:12We also need to focus in on possibly what is she showcasing to Adam Pearce the Raw general manager.
05:18Nick Aldis the SmackDown general manager as well.
05:20You know, they are always looking for the newest talent.
05:23We certainly know about that huge six-woman tag team explosion coming up this Saturday.
05:27Representing Friday Night SmackDown.
05:28Oh, wow.
05:29But Maxine with that big sweeping kick.
05:32And Dupree.
05:35Center of the ring right here.
05:36That fisherman suplex.
05:40And Maxine back on her feet.
05:42And Vic, the straps are coming down.
05:44And this is where Maxine starts to enter into that zone.
05:48That has made her a champion in the past.
05:51Big leg drop right to the back of the neck.
05:53Innovative offense right there.
05:55Into the cover.
05:56And right on the doorstep once again is Maxine.
06:00As of course we're talking about the Women's Tag Team Championships.
06:02Vic, you have to wonder who's next for Liv Morgan and the Women's World Championship.
06:06I don't even want to speculate on that.
06:07But she got one.
06:09And it might only take one big roundhouse kick by Nikita.
06:13And two and seven eighths right there.
06:15Nikita Lyons almost the biggest winner.
06:16I am shocked.
06:17Yeah, you can say that again.
06:19But can't worry about the official in this matchup right now.
06:22She has to worry about Maxine.
06:24Maxine is on the ropes.
06:25Literally.
06:26He needs to stay focused on her opponent.
06:28Keep her eyes on the prize.
06:29Maxine evades Nikita.
06:31Out of the corner.
06:32German release suplex.
06:34Look at the power here of the Alpha Babe.
06:36And Maxine.
06:37She's going up top.
06:39Vic, we know she wants to fly.
06:41And Maxine from all the way up top.
06:44The cross body.
06:45And the Alpha Babe scores the victory.
06:50Here is your winner.
06:53Maxine Dupree.
06:56Overcoming the odds here against Big Cat, Kida.
06:59And Maxine Dupree refuses to lose three in a row here on Main Event.
07:03No, but take nothing away from Nikita Lyons in this matchup.
07:06I mean, there was maybe an air towards the end when she took her eyes off of Maxine.
07:11Which, of course, led to that high cross body.
07:14And a big victory getting back on her winning ways.
07:16Maxine Dupree.
07:17The Alpha Babe seizes the moment, comes away with a huge victory tonight on Main Event.
