00:00in here on NXT.
00:05The following contest is scheduled for one more.
00:10Introducing first, she is the Women's Speed Champion,
00:16Trenton Glenn.
00:18And you can see the left knee, Booker, is heavily bandaged as well.
00:22Do you believe the Speed Champion is thinking clearly heading into this match?
00:27Of course not.
00:28I mean, coming in for a half foot of the injury, I mean, you just said it.
00:33It's a target thing.
00:38And there is a bullseye as big as Texas on that left knee.
00:42And you know her opponent is going to exploit that weakness.
00:59And here is a superstar who certainly has learned to push others buttons.
01:05Doesn't matter if you're a champion, doesn't matter if you're on Raw,
01:08doesn't matter if you're on SmackDown, doesn't matter if you're involved.
01:10She has learned to anger anyone that is around her.
01:14Kalani Jordan, I'm gonna tell you, I mean, at such a young age,
01:17she's been there.
01:17When she's done that, she's been the youngest in the locker room.
01:21But now she knows what we're talking about.
01:24This opportunity, this opportunity, man.
01:27This opportunity.
01:28I love this attitude.
01:33Red can't even get to her feet.
01:35This hasn't even officially begun.
01:37Red said she can go.
01:38There's the bell.
01:39And this one is underway.
01:41Cover and a kick out.
01:42Stop crying, man.
01:43Stop crying.
01:44I'm not crying.
01:44Look, it's a fight, Vic.
01:46It's a fight.
01:46It is a fight.
01:47Look, it was Red who attacked Kalani with a punch last week to set up this clash.
01:52And I bring it back to this, thinking clearly.
01:55You see that her leg is still heavenly raptors.
01:57No way.
01:58Brent is 100% is gonna go behind in another near.
02:01It's about pushing yourself in.
02:03It's about going out there and fighting for adversity.
02:06Doesn't mean to clash down.
02:07I give her a lot of credit.
02:09Why are you crying about it?
02:10I'm not.
02:10I think she should be giving credit, but it's about how wise are you.
02:14We already have had one speed champion relinquish his title, that being Elio LaFleur.
02:18As you go right before the belly of it sounded, Red can't.
02:22Yes.
02:23By Kalani.
02:24What a shot, what a shot.
02:26And now it's Kalani who's a little bit caught off guard.
02:28He was running, was able to weather that storm early on.
02:31As I was talking about the speed championship, the men's speed title will be defended here soon.
02:36Lexus King awaits his next challenger.
02:39That speed tournament, Booker, it begins right here tonight.
02:43Yes, but right now the ladies have kicked this thing off.
02:47And I tell you, Kalani joined the growth over this last year.
02:51I mean the attitude, the attitude is everything in this business.
02:55Clothesline to the back of the neck and instead of Nord for the cover,
02:58then you see Kalani right on top of Red.
03:00Red now trying to return the favor.
03:03Come on, ref, let's close this.
03:05Now you're upset?
03:06Now who's crying?
03:07What are you talking about?
03:08I'm just speaking legalities here.
03:11What was Kalani throwing?
03:12Go to Ford, Ford Shivers.
03:14Go to legal.
03:15You should have ran for Mayor of Houston once upon a time.
03:18As Red now looking for a submission, taking down Kalani, arm bars locked in,
03:22trying to get a hyperextension on that left elbow and that shoulder.
03:26NXT Universe right now rallying behind Red.
03:29And I'll ask you this, do you consider Red a submission specialist with how she's been
03:34able to pick up victories over the last several months?
03:35I wouldn't necessarily say a specialist, but she definitely has grown in that
03:39department over these last few months.
03:41And as you can tell, she's concentrating on trying to debilitate Kalani Jordan right now.
03:48It certainly is.
03:49And any time you can pick apart the body, now trying to separate that hand,
03:53bend back those digits, and the agony on the face of Kalani.
03:58Kalani right now trying to get to this bottom rope to break the hold.
04:01Ren doing a great job though now of just isolating and keeping Kalani down.
04:06Again, Kalani Jordan, known for her high-flying abilities.
04:09She's beautiful.
04:10If Kalani can't get to the top, if she can't even get to her feet,
04:13she can't use the best part of her offense.
04:15I mean, I mean, that's just one part of Kalani's game.
04:18You gotta understand, she's a world champion, Vic.
04:20She's a world champion.
04:21She's done it all.
04:22She's faced so many.
04:24Like I said, at this tipped rage, she's sticking out.
04:28Wow.
04:29That was smart.
04:30That was smart.
04:31Certainly was, and Ren again staying one step ahead.
04:35And, ooh, innovative offense from Sinclair.
04:37Who maybe, who maybe is fighting on adrenaline as you see Kendra Gray, her BFF.
04:44Ren QCC on the outside cheering around.
04:47All three of these women, of course, will be eyeing up our main event tonight
04:51for the NXT Women's Championship.
04:53Lola Vice, Izzy Dame.
04:54As Kalani coming right back in, going right around.
04:57Gets caught though for a moment and then just whippling down with a handful of hair.
05:01I don't hear you yelling right now.
05:03Right now, like I said, it's a fight, Vic.
05:05You know, one thing about, wait a minute.
05:07Whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:10Well, Kalani with that killer instinct saw an opening.
05:13Everybody got time for that.
05:14Everybody got time for that, bro.
05:15Everybody got time for that.
05:17This is a business.
05:18This is a business.
05:19You gotta be ready to fight.
05:22Whoa, bam.
05:24Backdrop on the floor.
05:26Ren feeling the effects of this match early on.
05:29Which one of these two women walks out with the victory here on NXT?
05:47You know, I don't want to jump to conclusions here, Booker.
05:50But what would a victory do for Sinclair if, as Sinclair into the cover to kick out,
05:56if she can defeat Kalani?
05:58I mean, they always say, Styles make fights.
06:00But I always say, the IQ, can Sinclair match the IQ of Kalani Jordan?
06:06If she can do that, I'm gonna tell you, it's definitely gonna give her that confidence
06:10I think she needs to do exactly what she needs to do in this match division.
06:14Talk about being a submission specialist.
06:16Look at this abdominal stretch.
06:17You talk about old school.
06:19This is right center of the ring.
06:21Baby.
06:22Cover, a kick out.
06:23I like that right there.
06:25I'm gonna tell you right now.
06:26Ren Sinclair, she's got a thinking cat ball.
06:29She just went in a trick bag right there.
06:31Got a cover and went right back to it.
06:34I love it.
06:37Here in the NXT Universe, no doubt they are in the corner of Ren Sinclair in this
06:41matches.
06:42Ronnie Jordan right now.
06:43Baby.
06:44Better go for the reversal.
06:46Trying to go for a reversal.
06:48Trying to get one up.
06:49She got it.
06:51But I don't think, did she have a fully locked down?
06:53It's Sid, it's Sid.
06:54Wait a minute.
06:55Nice.
06:56Nice counter.
06:57Through a counter.
06:58Shoulders down.
06:59Another counter.
07:00Crucifix and a kick out.
07:01Both these women, Booker, have been evenly matched.
07:03And again, Ren is not at 100%.
07:06The double team, Ren just did something smart right there.
07:08Maintaining control, trying to keep Kalani Jordan real close to the body.
07:12I love it.
07:16Kick got caught.
07:18And again, that left open.
07:20The injured left knee and Kalani for the second time tonight.
07:24No hesitation.
07:25Killer instinct.
07:26Going right to work.
07:27That was different right there.
07:28That knee actually buckled.
07:30Under the pressure right there.
07:32That's not a good sign, Vick.
07:40Very vocal NXT Universe here tonight.
07:42You've already touched on it.
07:43When it comes to Jordan, she has had a taste of gold in the past.
07:48Women's North American title here in NXT.
07:50Not to mention a former TNA Knockouts World Champion.
07:54And she would love to wear gold one more time.
07:56And again, with that submission locked in, who is she looking at, Booker?
08:00Her eyes are locked on Kendall Gray on the outside.
08:02Locked on Kendall Gray right now.
08:04Kalani Jordan is stressing that knee right there to his maximum point.
08:09The referee, the referee might have to keep an eye on this right here, Vick.
08:14Let's go, Rey!
08:15Let's go, Rey!
08:16Let's go, Rey!
08:16Let's go, Rey!
08:17Let's go, Rey!
08:17Let's go, Rey!
08:19Let's go, Rey!
08:20Doing their best at this juncture.
08:22But it is having no effect right now on Kalani Jordan, who is absolutely
08:28possessed right out here in front of us, is starting to systematically dissect Sinclair.
08:38It has been all Kalani Jordan over the last few moments.
08:43And again, it was Jordan who tapped out our champion in the past, Lola Vice.
08:47Should more respect be put on the all-around game of Jordan?
08:51Of course, of course, it goes back to what I said earlier.
08:53Styles make fights, but Kalani Jordan's IQ is definitely off the charts right now.
09:00She's looking to prove something in this matchup against the speed champion,
09:05Reyna St. Clair.
09:06And it was Kalani Jordan who was trained by submission magician in the past.
09:11Did Kalani, though, speak the truth last week?
09:13The roster is scared, said she is better than everyone.
09:16And I include those on Monday Night Raw and on SmackDown.
09:20The metaphor of it is a metaphor.
09:22You gotta think that way.
09:23You gotta put yourself over that way.
09:25You gotta feel like you are better than that person standing across from you in that range.
09:30And right now, Kalani Jordan, you can't tell me she doesn't feel that way now.
09:35And again with Kendall Gray cheering on Rey.
09:38Ren Sinclair finally getting able to-
09:40The easy way out.
09:41You see that?
09:41You see that?
09:42What the hell are you talking about?
09:43The easy way out?
09:45No, no, no, no.
09:45Look here, I'm not saying it wasn't the right thing to do.
09:47I'm not saying that.
09:48But she did take the easy way out like that.
09:51What did you want her to do, Booker?
09:51I'm just saying.
09:52I'm just saying.
09:53You never went to the ropes to get out of a submission hole?
09:55When you do something like that, that tells me.
09:58Run out of ideas, Vince.
10:00That's what that tells me.
10:02We've talked about the main event tonight.
10:04Should Kalani be the one to face the winner of the main event?
10:07My God.
10:08She can't get a victory here.
10:09My God.
10:10She can't get the win, but she can continue to inflict damage.
10:14The stress on that knee right there, the patella tendon, the PCL,
10:21the MCL, all of that, all of that right there, Nick.
10:24Next time world champion and recently got his doctorate obviously in anatomy.
10:28Booker T joining me on commentary tonight.
10:30Again, Lola, Izzy for the NXT World Championship in our main event.
10:35That is an opportunity, Booker.
10:37Kalani believes should be hers tonight as she hits the plex.
10:41Is it perfect?
10:42Rolling through.
10:43Look at the pressure right now that Kalani Jordan is applying right now.
10:47Like I said, the referee needs to keep a close eye on this thing.
10:51It actually is getting to that point.
10:54Well again, you know, I know, and the NXT Universe here in the Performance Center
10:59knows, Ren Sinclair is not going to tackle.
11:02He's not gonna quit.
11:03Ren Sinclair is not going to quit.
11:04That's exactly what I'm talking about.
11:05That's exactly what I'm talking about.
11:06That's exactly what I'm talking about.
11:07The referee might have to have to wear with all the understanding and
11:10know how to do a job, man.
11:12Do a job.
11:13The referee is in there.
11:15Ren Sinclair has continued to fight.
11:16She has not stopped.
11:17Whoa.
11:17So the second backdrop in this match.
11:20And now adrenaline starting to pump through the veins of the women's speed
11:23champion.
11:24Can she string together some offense in this matchup?
11:28Can she overcome the odds?
11:29As Sinclair firing back, couple of chops, couple of strikes.
11:33Right back in.
11:33I can tell you what Sinclair is, she's desperate right now.
11:37She's doing everything she possibly can to stay in this matchup.
11:40And we gotta respect that.
11:41Dude, dude.
11:45Nice suplex.
11:46Looking for a gut wrench.
11:48Connected in the center of the ring.
11:49And everything right now starting.
11:55Starting to roll for Ren Sinclair.
11:59And the NXT nurse would you-
12:00All the way to see that.
12:01You see that?
12:02I certainly did and so did Kalani.
12:04Right down to that knee.
12:07Looking for that one of a kind split legged mood.
12:10I saw no one there.
12:12This again, that opportunity for Sinclair.
12:17Crucifix.
12:17Whoa.
12:18Not enough to keep Kalani down.
12:22As again, trying to rally Ren.
12:23Looking for that gut, here we go.
12:25No, counter.
12:26One more time, didn't work.
12:28Again, look at Kalani.
12:29Nice.
12:30Right back in, stepping through.
12:33Looking for a submission.
12:35And I'm sure John Cena is somewhere smiling big watching.
12:39Looking for the submission.
12:41Realized Ren was close.
12:43And give credit where credit is due to Kalani.
12:45Switching her game.
12:46Calling an audible.
12:47And now locking in yet another lower body submission.
12:51And it's wrenching Ren.
12:53My God.
12:54That's gotta be it.
12:56Come on, Ren.
12:57Nothing for Kevin O'Reilly.
12:58Come on, Ren.
12:58Ren has to tap.
13:08Little extra sauce.
13:11Here is your winner by submission, Kalani Jordan.
13:17Yeah.
13:18The headline will be, Kalani Taps Sinclair.
13:33Gotta wonder the state of Sinclair.
13:36Right here was that one-of-a-kind split-legged moonshot.
13:39But NXT Universe is really starting to rally behind Ren Sinclair.
13:42That was the last effort for Sinclair, who is favoring her left knee.
13:47Didn't come in at 100%.
13:49And then Ren got wrenched.
13:51She got wrecked.
13:53And she had no choice but to tap out.
13:58And I don't know if you noticed, there is again that smile on the face of Kalani.
14:02Look away on the face of Kendall Gray as Jordan again stands out in the women's division.
