00:00Hey, she just got here, but she's planning on being here for what's up time.
00:04Well, for Reign, nothing else matters, but only Zarya tonight.
00:07As Zarya going right to work, showcasing that power early on,
00:11and Chip Danning, our official in this matchup,
00:13is going to have his hands full, I do believe,
00:16as Lizzie Reign trying to fight back, and a nice dropkick,
00:19backing up Zarya for a moment.
00:22You know, early on in this matchup, need to congratulate Sol Ruka,
00:26the former women's North American champion,
00:28the new women's Intercontinental champion.
00:31And I'm sure, I'm sure Zarya now has to be feeling even more pressure
00:35to win a championship, seeing that her former tag team partner, Sol Ruka,
00:39is going around her waist.
00:40Would you say pressured or motivated?
00:43That's what I would call it, motivated to actually step to that next level,
00:47because my thing is, I always thought Zarya had it in her, but I think you cannot be a follower.
00:53You gotta be a leader, Vic.
00:55Reign up top.
00:56Yes.
00:57Had to switch momentum there for at least a half second,
01:01trying to get away now from Zarya.
01:02Again, Zarya showcasing that power, but there's the athleticism from Lizzie Reign,
01:06trying to ride the lightning to become the one in NXT.
01:10I tell you, everybody's looking for that opportunity.
01:13My.
01:14You can tell Lizzie Reign is not gonna wait in the back and wait on the opportunity.
01:18She's gonna try to take it.
01:20Part of the international influx of talent to this brand that we've seen over the last
01:25month.
01:25Everyone from around the world wants to be here in NXT, and that includes Romeo Moreno
01:31from Spain.
01:32Can he put the Speed Championship around his waist?
01:35That again, one of two championship matches tonight, including the NXT title in our main event.
01:41Moreno, he was just definitely on the roll after last week.
01:44You cannot underestimate this kid, and what an opportunity, Vic.
01:48Well, for Lizzie Reign, can't underestimate her as well.
01:50Was looking for that- Yes!
01:52Top rope assisted DDT, but what a pump kick from Zarya.
01:56You ain't lying.
01:57Like I said, the switch, the light bulb finally went off in Zarya's head.
02:03I mean, I always say, man, the sand in the hourglass.
02:06You know, time is a valuable thing to waste.
02:09And right now, Zarya's, I mean, she's looking to cash in, man.
02:12Yes!
02:14Gnarly landing there for Reign, and you see Lizzie holding her ribs, her stomach,
02:19go back to those early part of this matchup.
02:21Certainly a body part has been focused on here by Zarya.
02:25I wonder, because like you say, Lizzie's been holding those ribs since the outset.
02:29And I'm wondering, is Lizzie compromised right now?
02:33I'm wondering.
02:34Take another look, and it's a wild landing for Lizzie Reign.
02:39But I want to talk about the entire women's division here for a moment,
02:41because recently on your radio show, you gave a lot of love to the women's division here in NXT.
02:46I mean, there's a reason why, because the women here in NXT, they seem to get it.
02:50Everybody seems to be thinking about one thing, and
02:53that's stepping to that next, next level.
02:56And I'm talking, I'm talking main roster.
02:58Let's not be quiet.
02:59Oh, wait a minute.
03:00Here's one right here.
03:02She's on the list.
03:03Talk about stepping the women's North American champion Tatum Paxley to stepping out here.
03:10What is this all about, Vic?
03:12Vic, can you tell me?
03:13Can you tell me what is this all about?
03:15I don't necessarily know, but back to the ring.
03:17Lizzie!
03:17Almost able to put away Zarya near falling.
03:21Pull up a chair.
03:22Looks like Tatum gonna be sitting right here next to us.
03:27And I guess she did- You got to get journalists questions.
03:29I mean, what do you got, Vic?
03:31She did pull up the drama, a little caught off guard here that we're being joined by Tatum.
03:34Wow!
03:34Wow!
03:35What a right hand.
03:36Wow!
03:36And Zarya.
03:37What a shot!
03:39And Zarya's got to realize, Tatum is here ringside.
03:43This matchup's going to continue.
03:44The women's North American champion with a great view of Zarya.
03:49Who's walking out victorious?
03:52Hey!
03:52Hey!
03:53Hey!
03:54Hey!
03:55Hey!
03:55Hey!
03:55Hey!
03:55Hey!
03:57Hey!
03:58Hey!
03:58Hey!
04:07Well, wherever you are watching around the world, right now, yes,
04:09Zarya is taking it to Lizzie reinbeck, but joining me here, to our left,
04:13Yes, how you doing?
04:14Is the women's North American.
04:15How can I introduce you to the women.
04:17I mean, I got to get back to that shot that we just saw.
04:20That look like that was a message delivered towards you, Tatum.
04:24Can I get some feedback?
04:26I think Zarya is trying to deliver all this to me.
04:30But I am ready to watch every single part of it, Book.
04:33Well, that is the voice of the current reigning defending women's North American
04:39Tatum Paxley.
04:40So to piggyback- Whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.
04:42Cover, shoulders down near fall.
04:44Booker, are you worried about Zarya?
04:46Cuz Zarya has made you and your title her focus.
04:49I might be more worried about her- Shoulders down and
04:52another near fall.
04:53Look, Zarya is going through a lot right now,
04:56especially after her separation with Seoul.
04:57But she's just taking all that out on me, it has nothing to do with me.
05:01Well, that's one way to look at it, and I will let Booker give you your props,
05:04because you were just talking about the women's division, including Tatum Paxley.
05:08Yes. Tatum made your list.
05:09And she made the pay five.
05:10Another cover, hook of the leg, and Lizzie able to kick out.
05:13And the thing is, it wasn't by accident or anything like that.
05:16It wasn't by osmosis.
05:18It's because Tatum Paxley has gone out there in the middle of that 20 by 20.
05:22And showed up, and showed out, Victor.
05:25That's what it's all about, man.
05:26You're not gonna get any argument from me, or the NXT universe,
05:29who right now is trying to rally Lizzie Reign.
05:31Reign, who you said compromised a few moments ago.
05:35Yes. I would have to agree with you.
05:36And she's trying to battle back in this match with Zarya.
05:39Big shot.
05:40I'd love to get your thoughts on Lizzie.
05:41You recently went one on one with Reign.
05:44Right, Lizzie Reign.
05:45Shoulders down one more time.
05:47Lizzie Reign, she is one of the toughest, most metal competitors I've ever stepped in the ring.
05:51Baby.
05:52If Zarya can pull off this win tonight, I will be very impressed.
05:55Going right back in is Reign, trying to counter.
05:58And again, Zarya's power into that backbreaker.
06:02That was gnarly right there, Vic, right on those ribs.
06:06Right on that cartilage.
06:09Lizzie Reign over the last few moments has not really been able to get back into
06:13any sort of offensive rhythm.
06:15And Zarya now starting to make Lizzie pay even more.
06:20Yes!
06:23Referee right now doing a nice job checking on Lizzie for a moment here.
06:27And Tatum, I don't want to take away from the action in the ring, but
06:29how is Shiloh Hill's training coming along for Mr. NXT?
06:32Shiloh is doing amazing.
06:34A lot of people don't know this, but his entire life,
06:36he wanted to grow up to be a circus clown.
06:38Oh, really?
06:38He has been preparing for this his whole life.
06:40He is very ready.
06:41Trust me, he hit it right on the butt.
06:43Circus clown.
06:44He hit it right on the butt.
06:45Booker hasn't signed the petition, by the way.
06:47I have for this matchup continuing.
06:49Lizzie going high risk.
06:56Lizzie Reign has turned things around in this matchup.
07:00We're being joined on commentary by the women's North American champion,
07:04Tatum Paxley, as off the top goes Lizzie.
07:08And she's starting to crank that amp up to Spear.
07:11Oh, nothing, nothing, man.
07:13Oh, she just got unplugged by Zarya.
07:17And Tatum, do you feel for Zarya in any form or fashion?
07:21Because you've also had a friend come between you and a championship
07:24as Lizzie almost split in half.
07:27Look, I've been a Zaruka fan, just like everybody else.
07:30But Zarya is coming for my title.
07:33So, Novik, I do not feel anything for her.
07:37And I think I already know the answer.
07:38I think I already know the answer to this question.
07:40Not one part of you is worried about Zarya?
07:43Not worried that she could take you to the zone of destruction on any given night?
07:48If I'm worried about anything, it's where her mental's right at, like where her mental is.
07:52She's going through so, so much, and I think she's trying to take all that out on her.
07:56Well, she called Lizzie Reign collateral damage a few weeks ago, certainly has embraced a selfish side.
08:02The woman to my left, by the way, Booker, isn't selfish.
08:05Tatum Paxley wants everyone to compete, wants everyone to have a championship opportunity,
08:10no matter who you are, no matter where you're from, as Lizzie Reign had an opportunity a few weeks ago
08:15and proving again here tonight why she could be the future on this brand.
08:19Here comes Lizzie.
08:20Three more back elbow.
08:21Big shot right there.
08:23Can't you capitalize?
08:24Because I'm going to tell you right there, this win would be the biggest win for Lizzie Reign.
08:28Since she got here, if she can pull it off, here we go.
08:31Big D. D. D, will it be enough?
08:33Hooks down.
08:34Here we go, a foul.
08:35Zarya able to kick out.
08:36Close.
08:37Another look at this Tatum.
08:40Perfect precision on that D. D. D. D. D was not enough, though, for Lizzie Reign.
08:44But I think we can all agree, Zarya has been on a path of destruction over the last
08:49two months, has really become a master of puppets of sort that Reign is trying to
08:53overcome here tonight, tried to use the muscles, and Lizzie got out-muscled by Zarya.
08:58Yes, I'll tell you something, Zarya, just like Tatum Paxley,
09:03she's coming into her own, man.
09:05Whoa. Here we go, here we go.
09:07And another near future.
09:09Tatum should know about friends and how they will stab you in the back in a heartbeat.
09:14A snake, you can trust a snake to bite you every time, man.
09:18And that's exactly what Zarya had to go through.
09:21Come on, Dan.
09:22Come on.
09:23And a near fall.
09:24I know, Tatum, that was a lot to digest from Booker, but he said, you do know a thing or
09:27two about being stabbed in the back.
09:29Oh, I know so much about that, Booker, and you said it perfectly.
09:33Right?
09:33Perfectly.
09:34I mean, come on, Victor.
09:39Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
09:47Oh, well, I think back to Booker, your point earlier, Zarya trying to send a direct message
09:56to Tatum Paxley, but Lizzie rings.
09:59It's starting to pour down now inside the performance center.
10:03Zarya hoisted up.
10:05Lizzie dropping Zarya's center of the ring.
10:08Will it be enough?
10:10Whoa.
10:13Tatum, that was close.
10:14Whoa.
10:15Big kick from Lizzie.
10:16Tatum right now, she is focused on this action and a nice counter into the German suplex.
10:21Zarya back up with another spear, and we have certainly entered into the zone of destruction.
10:28He's moved.
10:31One, two, three.
10:33Wow.
10:33Ranged lights put out by Zarya.
10:37Here is her winner, Zarya.
10:41Zarya.
10:44And I just saw the positioning, the body language of our champion, Tatum Paxley, change as soon
10:53as we saw Zarya pick up that one, two, three, as now Zarya staring a hole through Tatum Paxley.
11:10And Lizzie Raine did her best.
11:12Lizzie Raine fought back, gave everything she had in this matchup, which was a lot to do with pride after
11:19what we saw last week with these two fighting throughout the locker room area.
11:24But in the end, it was Zarya, taking Lizzie to that zone of destruction, hitting that massive F5, and sending
11:33a message to the champion, Tatum Paxley.
11:47If you want this so bad, you can have your title match next week.
11:58Well, if this gets set in stone, the women's North American title will be defended live next week.
