00:17Closing in on 100 days as champions.
00:21There is the woman who stopped Zarya, her opponent tonight,
00:25from attacking last week Lizzy Rain.
00:28From inflicting more damage, she knew what Zarya wanted.
00:32She knew what Zarya's been looking at.
00:35As Zarya right now staring a hole into the champion.
00:39Staring a hole into that title.
00:43Like that attitude from Zarya right there.
00:47Totally intent focus on the task at hand here tonight.
00:52Let's go up to our ring announcer, Mike Roam.
00:54The following contest scheduled for one fall.
00:57Is for the NXT Women's North American Championship.
01:08Introducing the challenger from Adelaide, South Australia, Zarya.
01:20And her opponents from Dallas, Texas.
01:25She is the NXT Women's North American Champion, Tatum Paxley.
01:36You're looking at a woman right now who has not tasted defeat in a singles match this year.
01:44In all of WWE, only Penta and Trick Williams are undefeated but have more wins than Tatum Paxley.
01:51That is quite the group to be part of, the Intercontinental Champion, the United States Champion, to be on the
01:58run she has been this year.
02:01Tatum Paxley finds herself in the main event.
02:03Tatum Paxley.
02:04All the way for the up five.
02:05She believes, she believes, she believes.
02:06Counter quickly into the inside cradle, shoulders down.
02:08Almost able to retain.
02:09That's the one thing about Tatum.
02:10Spear.
02:11Oh my god, a spear.
02:13Yeah.
02:13This could be it, and Tatum somehow having to kick out.
02:17Zarya's come with a game plan.
02:19Tatum created a little space right there, but Zarya, boom, yeah, still follows up and lowers the booty.
02:27Zarya has come on a mission here.
02:29She has come tonight with a plan, seek and destroy.
02:33She is taking it to the champion right now.
02:36The champion has not gotten out of the gates.
02:38Derek Sanders, the official, is checking on the champion right now.
02:42As Paxley tossed back into the ring, Zarya into the cover, looking to hook the leg to win the title
02:47and a near fall.
02:48Right now it's time to look at tonight's NXT recap presented by Progressive.
02:52Zarya has brought her A game here tonight.
02:55I am shocked at how this match is starting.
02:57Zarya's coming out of the box, man.
02:59She's coming out hot.
03:00She's coming out throwing everything but the kitchen sink right now.
03:04And Tatum Paxley, can Tatum Paxley weather this storm?
03:08That's the question.
03:09Paxley was on commentary with us last week.
03:12Right now she had a lot of great things to say about Zarya, great things to say about being a
03:18champion on this brand.
03:19And she's able to get a little separation once again.
03:22Paxley back up, big kick to the midsection.
03:24Trying to follow some combination offense, but Zarya slamming the door shut.
03:29Tatum really, right now, she's gonna dream street, and right now Zarya's, whoa!
03:34Well, that could have been the mistake that kinda equals things out in this matchup.
03:38Because it's been all Zarya in the early going, and Tatum up and over.
03:44What a collision, sudden impact with Zarya and those steel steps.
03:51Zarya's looking for the moonsault connects.
03:55Tatum Paxley battling back into this matchup.
03:59Her championship hangs in the balance.
04:01What a main event here tonight on NXT.
04:05Oh, my God!

06:16Okay.
06:16Young homeowners can't do anything without a plan.
06:19Okay.
06:20What's our plan of attack?
06:21It's a flea market.
06:22We're not attacking anything.
06:23All right, we should hit rides first, then concessions after.
06:26How about we just eat when we're hungry?
06:27What if one of us is hungry, but the others aren't as hungry?
06:29I'm not hungry right now.
06:31I feel like in an hour, though.
06:33Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents.
06:35But we can't protect your home and auto when you bundle with us.
06:37Hey, doctor, maybe we should regroup at the shrubbery?
06:42The drivers in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series.
06:45Here we go!
06:47Racing every lap as if it's their last.
06:50Way to fight, buddy.
06:51Hitting every turn with nothing held back.
06:54Let's go!
06:54They can't stop it!
06:56See why everyone is talking about NASCAR's newest superstars.
07:01Burn it down, buddy!
07:03The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series.
07:05Saturday from Pocono at 3.30 Eastern, 12.30 Pacific on The CW.
07:11And Zaria overpowering Paxley once again in this main event.
07:17Placing up Paxley able to land on her feet.
07:18Great balance.
07:19Oh!
07:21You know, Zaria wants what Tatum has.
07:24The same title that started to drive a wedge between Zaria and Sol.
07:29You gotta date that back to stand and deliver 20-25.
07:32The same title we're looking at right now.
07:34And the same match that Sol pushed Zaria off the ladder.
07:37Zaria would get her revenge weeks ago being last woman standing.
07:42Could she tonight finally win a championship?
07:45And in fact, here she comes and I talked about Tatum.
07:49She's finally found herself.
07:51She believes in herself.
07:53And right now, she's looking to all go to that place.
07:56Oh yeah!
07:57Here we go!
07:58You can't be too happy with what we saw moments ago.
08:01Despicable act from Tristan Angels who lost Mr. NXT.
08:05The pageant tonight to Shiloh Hill.
08:07Shiloh winning 77% to 23%, crowned Mr. NXT.
08:11But Tatum, I do believe, has done a nice job of blocking all that out
08:15because she's in this big match situation.
08:17Her championship on the line.
08:19She wants to wear that gold into the next premium live event.
08:22The very first one on CW.
08:24Big kick, back to the net.
08:26Oh!
08:27And a kick out.
08:29No, I'm gonna tell you right now, Tatum Patchley, like I say,
08:32she found herself.
08:33She's not looking to go out here and do anything but win, win, win,
08:37no matter what.
08:38The thing is, I love, you know, I wasn't on board in the beginning,
08:41as far as all these title matches given up.
08:44But at this stage, you gotta test yourself, Vic.
08:46You gotta see how good you really are before you make it to that next level.
08:50Oh, you're right.
08:51You win, win, win, no matter what.
08:53Everything goes up after that, including your stock and a big headbutt from Zarya.
08:56Zarya knows that.
08:57Zarya saw that with Sol Ruka.
09:00She saw it first-hand.
09:01And landing on her feet again, and we've seen this first-hand.
09:05That's in place, Vic!
09:06That's in place I'm talking about!
09:07Look into the deranged eyes of Tatum Patchley.
09:12Spear did connect!
09:14What a unique counter!
09:15Double stop to the spine!
09:18And, ooh!
09:19High-impact offense one more time.
09:22Paxley, who weathered the early storm, overcoming the odds at this juncture.
09:28Deep water!
09:29There!
09:30Whoa!
09:32And just ate a second spear!
09:34Is it enough for Zarya?
09:36And here, falling a kick-out.
09:40Zarya gave her roll-through presence of mind, and then, boom!
09:44Bone-crushing spear!
09:47Tatum could do anything, caught it at the last minute.
09:50That spear was delivered tight.
09:53We talk about Tatum Paxley having been on the same side as Zarya,
09:59understanding how a championship can be driven between two friends.
10:04Tatum followed the same path, but she never betrayed anyone like Zarya did.
10:10Tatum has overcome those evil feelings to rise above everything,
10:14to become not only an NXT North American Women's Champion,
10:18but also the NXT Women's Champion.
10:21One of two women ever knew that, the other being Stephanie Bacare.
10:24But can Tatum Paxley overcome the odds once again?
10:27Because if this breaks down like it is right now, Book,
10:30Zarya's walking away with the title.
10:31What are you gonna realize?
10:32It's about getting your piece of the action.
10:35And that's the only thing that Zarya wants.
10:37You talk about opportunity.
10:39She wants the title.
10:40She wants to go just like Tatum Paxley.
10:42While she hasn't had a championship definitively,
10:45she did defend this title, if you remember,
10:47and lost it at Halloween Havoc.
10:49And a big super kick under the jaw.
10:51If you're not prepared, you can easily go out there,
10:53and that can happen, Vic.
10:55There's no shame in that.
10:56Paxley did not connect on a 450 moment to go to a little too much time.
11:01And Zarya, maybe out of an act of desperation,
11:04able to counter.
11:06Oh, no, Booker.
11:07She's looking for a super German?
11:11Tatum's holding on.
11:13Yeah, hold on for dear life.
11:14Holding on for a championship.
11:16Maybe holding on for a career.
11:17Able to get away.
11:19Oh, Zarya's caught.
11:21Wait a minute.
11:23Zarya's caught.
11:24Zarya can't go anywhere.
11:25Zarya can't move.
11:26Is Tatum gonna take advantage of it?
11:28Is Tatum gonna take advantage of this?
11:29Oh, wait a minute.
11:31Paxley gonna go coast to coast?
11:39Whoa!
11:42Zarya just got rocked.
11:44Got all of it, kid.
11:45Can Paxley capitalize?
11:47One, two, three.
11:49Zarya just somehow able to kick out,
11:55but did she just empty the gas tank?
11:57Now maybe looking for a cemetery drive.
11:59Zarya able to counter out of it.
12:01Hoisting up.
12:01Paxley looking for the F5.
12:03Countered one more time.
12:04Paxley able to land on her feet.
12:05Oh, and right through connecting.
12:07Big kick.
12:09And much like Paxley, Zarya rising through the ashes.
12:14Oh, my God.
12:15Here we both.
12:16Looking for a spear all the way to the outside.
12:20Paxley now looking for that moonsault.
12:22Oh, no one home.
12:23Crash and burn.
12:25Oh, hoisted up.
12:27F5.
12:29Right there on the floor.
12:32Zarya getting the champion back into the ring.
12:35Paxley dropped again with another spear.
12:38That's the third.
12:39It ain't over, big.
12:40Zarya.
12:41It ain't over yet.
12:42Pricing up.
12:43Entering that zone of destruction.
12:46F5.
12:46Cover.
12:48Zarya has dethroned Paxley.
12:51There is your winner.
12:55And the new NXT Women's North American Champion, Zarya.
13:05Some members of the NXT Universe are absolutely shook.
13:11Absolutely shocked.
13:15Zarya has finally done it.
13:19Has captured the title that she has been looking for since Stand and
13:27Delivered 20-25.
13:30The same title that started to drive a wedge between her and Sol Ruka.
13:42This coast-to-coast from Tate of Paxley and take nothing away from Paxley.
13:48100-day, near 100-day rain, but in the end, that was a misfire, a miscalculation.
13:55That was the first F5, followed by the third spear from Zarya.
14:02And she wastes no time in putting an exclamation point on the festivities here tonight.
14:09Three spears, two F5s to finally call herself Champion.
14:23What a night it has been since the beginning.
