00:00:00Last Saturday, the doors were opened,
00:00:03welcoming us to NXT In Your House,
00:00:07where control, status, respect, dominance,
00:00:11and championships were all on the line.
00:00:16Intense negotiations weren't enough
00:00:18as NXT's two street factions erupted in a turf war.
00:00:25And Legado now has a new god.
00:00:29Respect was at stake for the Creed brothers,
00:00:32while taking on the NXT Tag Team Champions, pretty deadly.
00:00:40The Creed's have done it!
00:00:43Status was on the mind of Carmelo Hayes,
00:00:46as Cameron Grimes returned from his lunar adventure
00:00:49to defend the NXT North American Championship.
00:00:53Cameron Grimes, you are not a champion.
00:01:00The stronghold on the women's division was challenged,
00:01:03as Kayden and Katana stepped up to the Tag Team Champions,
00:01:07Gigi and Jason, while Wendy Chu's dreams
00:01:10of defeating NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose
00:01:13looked to become a reality.
00:01:15We have ran through everyone in NXT.
00:01:19We were born to wear gold around our waist.
00:01:22Toxic attraction is untouchable.
00:01:26And with a stipulation of a disqualification
00:01:29resulting in the title changing hands,
00:01:32the emotions of the NXT Champion would be tested,
00:01:35as Braun Breaker battled Joe Gacy.
00:01:41Braun has to remain in control.
00:01:44Fuller heads again, prevailing.
00:01:48Braun Breaker, he has restored order to his NXT.
00:02:01WWE had the world buzzing this weekend, and it all started with In Your House.
00:02:07Tonight we feel the fallout, welcome to NXT.
00:02:13Please welcome your new NXT North American Champion, Carmelo Hayes.
00:02:31I'm sure Barrett, the party hasn't stopped for the new champion.
00:02:37And suddenly, all is right in the world.
00:02:41The HM is back after a superlative best performance.
00:02:47An NXT In Your House this past Saturday, right in a row.
00:02:53And now that fantastic North American Championship is back,
00:02:58where it belongs, around the waist of that man, Carmelo Hayes.
00:03:02Flanked as always, of course, by his best man,
00:03:06Trick Williams, who certainly had a large part to play
00:03:09in the reacquisition of that championship.
00:03:12But Carmelo Hayes, what a man, what a performer.
00:03:16But that is the future of NXT and beyond.
00:03:20I'll say another wave from Cameron Grimes.
00:03:23From his performance this past Saturday at In Your House,
00:03:27almost able to retain, but the A Champion is back at NXT.
00:03:31And now cut the music, cut the music.
00:03:33At last, Melo, things are back to normal in this world.
00:03:40Melo is the North American Champion.
00:03:43My baby Lori Harvey is single.
00:03:45And the Golden State Warriors are about to beat the Boston Celtics.
00:03:49Hey, hold on, Trick.
00:03:50You know I'm from Boston, right?
00:03:51You are.
00:03:52I am.
00:03:53My bad, brother.
00:03:54Come on.
00:03:55But still, let's get back to the point.
00:03:57I need for everybody to strap up your seat bus and glue your wigs on tight.
00:04:00And make some noise for your two-time North American Champion.
00:04:08Thank you so much.
00:04:10Thank you so much.
00:04:12Hey, first things first, I just gotta give credit where credit is due.
00:04:19The best version of Cameron Grimes showed up at NXT In Your House and
00:04:24gave me one of my toughest challenges.
00:04:26He did, but the goal was always to get me back to the NXT North American Championship.
00:04:35And now, I am the goal.
00:04:40Talk your talk, dawg.
00:04:45Hey, because Melo don't chase dreams, dreams chase Melo.
00:04:50And honestly, I'm what all you people aspire to be.
00:04:58As I look around in this crowd and I see some of you scrubs in here,
00:05:03you wish you could do what I do.
00:05:06Yes, sir.
00:05:07Could never be you.
00:05:08Yes, sir.
00:05:08I bet any time you shot your shot, you missed.
00:05:12You missed.
00:05:12Could never be me.
00:05:16I'm standing at the top on my accomplishments.
00:05:19While y'all losers are reaching, reaching for y'all goals.
00:05:25They reached.
00:05:25Could never be me.
00:05:30So I tell you that to tell you this.
00:05:34I am the most illustrious NXT North American Champion in history.
00:05:42And let's be real, y'all, I got right now.
00:05:49Well, it's not so much about who has right now.
00:05:52It's about who has next.
00:06:04Hey, yo, yo.
00:06:06Hey, Mello.
00:06:08Mello.
00:06:09Mello.
00:06:09Hey, congrats on getting your victory at In Your House, Mello.
00:06:12Congrats.
00:06:13You got this.
00:06:14Well, don't nobody wanna hear all that?
00:06:16You got this.
00:06:20You see, this is NXT 2.0,
00:06:23where we do a little bit of less talking and more fighting.
00:06:31Hey, yo, so I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.
00:06:35Everybody knows I got next for the North American Championship.
00:06:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, Solo.
00:06:44That agreement was between you and the former North American champion.
00:06:48Whatever y'all agreed on is no longer relevant, my brother.
00:06:53And let me keep it all the way real with you, Solo.
00:06:56You bet on the wrong one.
00:07:00Mello, look into my eyes. You see any type of fear when you look at me?
00:07:03Huh? You see any fear in these eyes? Huh? Hell no.
00:07:08Mello, I got your number. You know it. I know it. They all know it.
00:07:26What the hell do you think you are?
00:07:34No, I know.
00:07:35You ain't famous enough to have Mello's number.
00:07:38And even if you did, he's leaving your ass on voicemail.
00:07:44Hey, hey, and just so you know, I don't care about your blood type.
00:07:51I don't care who your daddy is, who your brothers are, your cousin, your niece,
00:07:56your nephew, your second auntie.
00:07:58You don't get opportunities just because you want one.
00:08:02Hey, and as for all of you, with the one fingers up in the air,
00:08:07that represents how many friends you have.
00:08:11Yeah.
00:08:11And newsflash idiots, your mom doesn't count as a friend.
00:08:16So none of you have mates, and neither do you.
00:08:20The truth is, no one likes you here.
00:08:23That's why you're called Sola Sakawa.
00:08:27All by yourself.
00:08:30Hey, newsflash idiot, shut the hell up.
00:08:36You see, I fight alone in this ring.
00:08:38But tonight, I'm not alone, because I'm with them.
00:08:46You see, I see what you're trying to do.
00:08:48I see what you're trying to do.
00:08:49What, you wanna fight?
00:08:50You wanna fight?
00:08:51You wanna get down?
00:08:52Huh?
00:08:52Scoot.
00:08:54Boom!
00:08:55And Sakawa said there's no fear in his eyes.
00:08:57You fighting three on one here?
00:08:59You're crazy.
00:09:03Well, Sakawa, to your point, trying, but
00:09:06that is outnumbered by the North American champion,
00:09:09Waller and Williams.
00:09:11Stepping into the lines that hit.
00:09:13Boom!
00:09:23Finally, some order starting to be restored.
00:09:27We said we were going to feel the fallout of NXT in your house,
00:09:32and we certainly have.
00:09:34Damage has been done to Solo Sakawa.
00:09:37You want your shadow?
00:09:38Well, I guess you ain't to make shit.
00:09:40I'm at the top, give respect, how I can't be.
00:09:43You better come home, tell him to step in here.
00:09:47You better come home, tell him to step in here.
00:09:47You better come home, you better come home, you better come home.
00:09:52Our actions are very simple.
00:09:55Paul Wagner has lost his damn mind.
00:10:00You're looking for a knock down fight.
00:10:02You have found it in Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.
00:10:09Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:10:11They don't leave us no choice!
00:10:13If you step to Von Wagner, you become Brooks Jensen,
00:10:17broken hand on the shelf for increase.
00:10:20Just Briggs doing it!
00:10:22Briggs couldn't stand back and wait no longer!
00:10:25I promise that I'm gonna make Von Wagner regret doing this.
00:10:28These two titans will clash.
00:10:31Briggs, Wagner, on NXT.
00:10:39Earlier, Tay, the only family in NXT arrived.
00:10:45Santos.
00:10:46Open this door.
00:11:01Would you take care of that thing I told you to do?
00:11:03The guy's gonna have the papers by Friday.
00:11:06Friday?
00:11:08Not bad, Santos.
00:11:09Not bad.
00:11:10What about that other thing?
00:11:11Yeah.
00:11:13City hall committee meeting has been set for Thursday.
00:11:17Why do you want to redistrict any-
00:11:18Look.
00:11:19You got a lot to learn, kid, alright?
00:11:22Now, uh, Santos.
00:11:24I think it's time you got out of this, uh, $1,000 suit
00:11:27and put some ring gear on.
00:11:29Cause you got a match tonight.
00:11:33Yeah.
00:11:34Go get ready, Santos.
00:11:39Santos.
00:11:44And it is good to be the don of NXT, but to work for him, not so much.
00:11:50The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:11:53Introducing Brooks, accompanied by Fallon Henley and Brooks Johnson, Josh Briggs.
00:12:00We are set for the battle of the big men between Briggs and this unstoppable force.
00:12:13And who's opponent, accompanied by Sofia Cromwell and Mr. Stone, Ron Wagner.
00:12:22Who's pulling the strings?
00:12:24Let's be honest.
00:12:25It's obvious, Mr. Stone pulls the strings, as always.
00:12:30Sofia Cromwell, a valuable addition to the trio.
00:12:34But, she is there as an associate, as an advisor.
00:12:38The bot, as always, is stopping with Mr. Stone.
00:12:41But how can you say that so definitively?
00:12:44I mean, Cromwell with just a point of her finger has led to nothing but
00:12:49destruction here at NXT and in recent weeks.
00:12:52I agree with that, but it is all under the watchful eye of Mr. Stone.
00:12:57You see, this is all-
00:12:58And right off Rick, Briggs said he was ready for a fight,
00:13:02and he was gonna punch Wagner right in the mouth.
00:13:04Referee getting some order.
00:13:05This one is official, and Briggs swinging the fists.
00:13:08Oh my, just an old-school slugger.
00:13:11Battle of the big man, this is what I came to town for.
00:13:14Briggs said if you're looking for a fight, you've certainly found one.
00:13:17I mean, would you have the same sort of moxie as Briggs?
00:13:20Briggs, right now, is trying his best to stand up for his buddy,
00:13:23Brooks Jensen, who got injured at the hands of this nutcase, Von Wagner.
00:13:29But I'll be honest with you, it's a noble act.
00:13:32Von Wagner comes over here and injures UVic.
00:13:34I am not getting in the middle.
00:13:36I'm heading out the door, thumbing the left, and getting out of dodge.
00:13:39I don't know why I need to put that out.
00:13:40Into the universe!
00:13:42As Briggs just depleting Von Wagner, and is Briggs the man?
00:13:46Is Briggs the superstar to stop Wagner?
00:13:49I would back up, gosh Briggs against the vast majority of the locker room.
00:13:55Get out of your mind, you crazy man.
00:13:58The vast majority of the locker room, however, not Von Wagner.
00:14:03Let's face it, nobody has come close to stopping Von Wagner so far.
00:14:07Well, tonight, history will be made the finals of the first ever NXT Women's Breakout Tournament.
00:14:13Stratton Perez, one of those two will earn a guaranteed championship of their opportunity.
00:14:18But look, two of the toughest in NXT in the ring right now.
00:14:21How did Cody Rhodes compete Sunday inside Hell in a Sand?
00:14:25Cody Rhodes and Hell in a Sand, that was one of the bravest acts, one of the bravest performances I've
00:14:31seen in my entire career.
00:14:34Cody, you are the man.
00:14:35You're lovely, don't you?
00:14:37Well, Briggs again swinging away, and of course, Rollins following that up last night with an absolutely despicable display on
00:14:43Raw.
00:14:43But look at the power on display from Von Wagner, who's into the cover.
00:14:48Will it be enough?
00:14:49And Briggs able to kick out at two.
00:14:52And the way this is going, you asked me if Briggs could stop Von Wagner,
00:14:55he'll be lucky to get out of this matchup with his health 100% intact.
00:15:00That has to be the aim for Briggs at this point.
00:15:02Well, Mr. Stone on Twitter noted Briggs should start a GoFundMe ahead of this matchup.
00:15:07Well, that right there, GoFundMe, is a brilliant piece of advice.
00:15:11People get rich over GoFundMe's.
00:15:13I might even start a GoFundMe so we can get a new play-by-play announcer for NXT because we
00:15:19really need-
00:15:20What do you mean for that?
00:15:22You're not very good.
00:15:23That's not very nice.
00:15:24It's too early to start your shenanigans here this evening.
00:15:26Calm down.
00:15:27And right now, Briggs trying to stay calm, I guess, in the moment and focus into the task.
00:15:33And you see a look of glory on the face of Jensen and Henry who are on the outside.
00:15:37And right now, Wagner in full destroy moment.
00:15:41Get back for fun.
00:15:42Get inside the ring.
00:15:42Jensen getting a little too close for Cope.
00:15:44No.
00:15:45No.
00:15:46To the injured right hand.
00:15:52What's that?
00:15:57Briggs just got the catch from Jensen.
00:15:59Referee distracted by Henley.
00:16:02Sneaky devil.
00:16:03Wagner is locked.
00:16:06Stone beside himself.
00:16:08Briggs into the cover.
00:16:09Briggs beats Wagner.
00:16:12Here is your winner, Josh Briggs.
00:16:17Well, it took three of them and it took an assist from Brooks Jensen's cast.
00:16:22But somehow, Josh Briggs has blown off the unthinkable.
00:16:28Let's go back.
00:16:29I mean, let's take a look at Wagner's body in the upper hand.
00:16:33No pun intended.
00:16:34But take a look at this look between Jensen and Henley.
00:16:37The fix was in all along.
00:16:41Clearly something they gained per cast.
00:16:44This might be the only way you can actually stop Von Wagner.
00:16:49Bam!
00:16:50Perfectly executed plan.
00:16:52And then Briggs the exclamation point.
00:16:55There you go.
00:16:56After the night.
00:16:57Oh, I can only imagine Mr. Stone and Sofia Cromwell not going to be very happy here tonight.
00:17:18I'm good.
00:17:19I'm good, Doc.
00:17:20I got it.
00:17:21I'm all right.
00:17:21Excuse me, Solo.
00:17:22After what we just saw, how are you doing?
00:17:24You know, cans in the streets you scrap.
00:17:26Sometimes you get it and then sometimes you don't.
00:17:30But it ain't one of those.
00:17:31It ain't one of those where you gonna catch them down the road next week or next month.
00:17:36I want both Waller and Melo tonight.
00:17:39Does that mean you're requesting a handicap match?
00:17:41Hell, if somebody wanna come down and join, they can be my guest.
00:17:44I'm not the one to ask for help.
00:17:46One way or another, by the end of the night, I'm gonna leave both of those bitches the same way
00:17:51they left me.
00:17:56That is not a good idea.
00:17:59Someone needs to have a quiet world with Solo Zakoa.
00:18:12The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:18:15Introducing first, Nathan Fraser.
00:18:20Listen to the NXT universe come to their feet for the electric, Nathan Fraser.
00:18:27And we understand he will be going up against Santos Escobar, who was ordered to get ready by Tony D
00:18:36'Angelo.
00:18:37And this matchup is next on NXT.
00:18:45On behalf of Chase University, I would like to present this scholarship for the 2022-2023 academic year to Thea
00:18:55Hill.
00:19:00Thank you, Mr. Chase.
00:19:01I am so excited to finally be here and perfect my craft at Chase University.
00:19:06Could we take a picture?
00:19:07Absolutely.
00:19:08Everybody get in for a picture.
00:19:09Of course.
00:19:09Yeah.
00:19:10Take a picture.
00:19:11Take a picture.
00:19:11Take a picture.
00:19:12It's pathetic.
00:19:13Asking teacher for a photo, it's embarrassing.
00:19:16You're embarrassing.
00:19:19You know, they're right.
00:19:21This picture does need more.
00:19:22It needs more star power.
00:19:24More fashion sense.
00:19:26It needs Pretty Deadly.
00:19:27So why don't you guys go head over and grab your tag titles, but wait!
00:19:31You lost them!
00:19:33Whoa!
00:19:34Whoa!
00:19:35Whoa!
00:19:36Just watch your back, alright?
00:19:38Yeah.
00:19:38I'll do that.
00:19:39Get in.
00:19:45Now, how about that picture, guys?
00:19:46You ready?
00:19:47Alright, Chase U on three.
00:19:49One, two, three.
00:19:50Chase U!
00:19:53Congratulations.
00:19:54Really?
00:19:55That's supposed to be acceptable?
00:19:56Kicking Pretty Deadly while they're down?
00:19:59How crass of Chase U!
00:20:06I'm certain that's not everyone's opinion on Chase University, but it's hard to believe Legado had to join the D
00:20:15'Angelo family.
00:20:17It's really a tragedy for Legado as the only rule as part of the turf war, and it's a sight
00:20:24that I thought I would never see.
00:20:25But now the once mighty emperor of Lucha Libre is what used to be the subordinate of the Don of
00:20:32NXT.
00:20:35Accompanyed by the Don of NXT, representing the D'Angelo family, Santos Escobar.
00:20:45See Del Toro Wilde and Escobar none too happy, but it has to hurt Escobar even to be walking out
00:20:51tonight to the Don's theme.
00:20:52Well, it's like hearing a once proud and great man being muted before our eyes.
00:21:01So much history, so much legacy behind Legado del Fantasma.
00:21:06The outfits, the music, the presentation, it is gone in a flash.
00:21:12Well, speaking of being joined by the Don himself, Tony D'Angelo, Don, welcome to the announce table.
00:21:24Quite a surprise.
00:21:24How you doing?
00:21:25Mr. Don, welcome.
00:21:26I'm so sorry.
00:21:27I didn't know you were coming out.
00:21:28I got us a bottle of red wine, a couple of glasses.
00:21:30I apologize.
00:21:31Did you bring your chapstick too?
00:21:33Don't worry about it.
00:21:33Hey, don't disrespect me.
00:21:35Thank you very much.
00:21:37Well, Escobar in action here one-on-one, and it seemed earlier today you had your first
00:21:42order of business, Mr. D'Angelo, handing Legado some duties to do some paperwork, it seems?
00:21:47That's right.
00:21:48You know, I thought it would be a good day to have them start, you know.
00:21:53I had to get these things done at City Hall.
00:21:56Santos got me some prints.
00:21:58You know, we're all good.
00:21:59You know, we're taking care of the fam.
00:22:00You gotta keep the troops busy.
00:22:01That's right.
00:22:02Oh, nice.
00:22:04Counter by Escobar, who is on his game here tonight.
00:22:07Some might think that maybe he'd be trying to let out some frustration this evening as
00:22:11he peers over and looks at the Don.
00:22:13Well, I know I would be letting out some frustrations.
00:22:16I'd want to beat the hell out of someone if it were me.
00:22:18But here's the thing with Santos Escobar.
00:22:20He's never been a hothead.
00:22:22Always a smooth, calculated, strategic individual.
00:22:26Escobar has never thought or acted like the rest of us.
00:22:28Well, you know what?
00:22:29He looks calm and collected because I told him to do it.
00:22:32Right?
00:22:33He listens to the Don.
00:22:34Are you training him now, DeAngelo?
00:22:36Uh, yeah.
00:22:37You know, we got a couple things we gotta eyeing out.
00:22:39But, uh, you know, let's just say he's got a lot of work to do.
00:22:42Helping him step up his game.
00:22:43That's a benevolent boss right there.
00:22:45That's right.
00:22:46That's right.
00:22:47Hey.
00:22:47Hey.
00:22:48Do something.
00:22:49This is boring.
00:22:50Do something else.
00:22:51Do something else.
00:22:53That's a weird question.
00:22:55Did you just put something in Wade Barrett's pocket?
00:22:58Hey.
00:22:59Worry about yourself, all right, Vic?
00:23:01This is something we're doing for the Cubs next.
00:23:03No, I didn't.
00:23:04Big amount shot.
00:23:05Oh, Frazier right now, taking down Escobar.
00:23:09Escobar off his game, continuing to stare over here at us.
00:23:12More specifically, Tony D'Angelo's boss.
00:23:15See, I didn't teach him to do that, all right?
00:23:17He's embarrassing the family right now.
00:23:19I don't know what he's doing.
00:23:20Come on.
00:23:21Frazier charging in.
00:23:22It has been a tough couple of days for-
00:23:25Hey, take it easy.
00:23:26Again, Escobar taking his eyes off the bar.
00:23:30And it could be Frazier catching Escobar on the right night,
00:23:33at the right time.
00:23:34How did he get back in there?
00:23:38What are you doing?
00:23:40What are you doing?
00:23:41Get away from my man.
00:23:43Get in the ring and wrestle.
00:23:44Come on.
00:23:45One, two, three.
00:23:46I'm gonna ask you myself, Mr. D'Angelo,
00:23:48how did the family celebrate the big victory at In Your House?
00:23:51Well, you know, I just inherited a 96-footer.
00:23:56Check out at two.
00:23:59Mr. Escobar's got?
00:24:01Yeah, that's right.
00:24:02And, you know, we had a body and we had drinks.
00:24:05We had some champagne, a whole deal.
00:24:08Santos was cleaning up afterwards.
00:24:09And we had, what's his name, Cruz and Joaquin.
00:24:13Man, they never let our drinks get empty.
00:24:15You know what I'm saying?
00:24:16Whoa!
00:24:20What are you doing?
00:24:23What is this going to be?
00:24:29I don't know what they're cheering for.
00:24:31Hey!
00:24:31Hey!
00:24:32Stop doing that!
00:24:34All right?
00:24:34Get it out of your repertoire.
00:24:35Nobody likes that.
00:24:38No.
00:24:38Nobody likes that.
00:24:40When Ole Miss' second of the action, NXT continues to roll on.
00:24:48We're back live on NXT.
00:24:50As you saw throughout the commercial break, this has been quite the contest between these two superstars.
00:24:56It's now Frazier starting to fire back.
00:24:58Right, left, trying to rock Escobar.
00:25:00And just like that, Escobar turning things around in this matchup.
00:25:04Nice tilt-a-roll backbreaker.
00:25:07And quickly now, Escobar right into the cover.
00:25:09Hook of the leg, center of the ring, and a near fall in this match.
00:25:12Let's go back to what happened before the commercial break.
00:25:15Escobar laid it on the line, wiping out Frazier and then staring a hole through you, Tony D'Angelo.
00:25:21So my question now to you, sir, is why did you send Lorenzo and Donovan to the ring moments ago?
00:25:27Look, I don't know if we're watching the same thing here, but I don't like what he's doing.
00:25:32So I need stacks and two dimes to make sure he's moving along.
00:25:36But he's in control of the matchup.
00:25:38Yeah, but come on.
00:25:40They're just taking a closer look.
00:25:41Making sure everything, you know, goes as planned.
00:25:44Tony D has made it quite clear he doesn't like the style of Santos Escobar.
00:25:48That's an issue, even if he is currently in control of the matchup.
00:25:51You need to clean your ears out.
00:25:53Look, this is why, this is why, I respect you so much.
00:25:55I respect you too, Mr. D'Angelo.
00:25:57You need to take care of his pets you got over here.
00:26:00I'll take care of him after the show.
00:26:02Looking for a submission is Escobar.
00:26:05But wait, I know too, Lucha Libre, that's the definition.
00:26:07That is the identity of who Santos Escobar is.
00:26:10Used to be things have changed as a new patriarch in charge of the family,
00:26:15and that includes the former Legado.
00:26:17Into the cover again goes Escobar and another near fall in this matchup.
00:26:21Santos Escobar has to fit in with his new family, this is important.
00:26:28This guy, taking a look around and Escobar now, seems to be more focused in on this matchup and less
00:26:36focused on Tony D'Angelo along with two dimes.
00:26:40And Stax on the outside.
00:26:43Hats off to Nathan Frazier hanging in there this fall after the best they've lost, and that's a good question.
00:26:49After one.
00:26:51NXT Universe.
00:26:53Stax, Stax, Stax tell him to tighten it up.
00:26:58And Escobar driving and now cinching, sitting deep on the lower back.
00:27:04Frazier still trying to fight, now trying to crawl literally to the bottom rope.
00:27:09Santos Escobar doing what he does best, grinding down in a corner, but just making it is Nathan Frazier.
00:27:15How much damage has been done to that lower back, however?
00:27:18What are you looking at me for?
00:27:19I didn't teach you how to do that.
00:27:23Really?
00:27:27What is he doing?
00:27:29It's the D'Angelo, he's calling himself the Jefe de Jefes.
00:27:32I'd say he's the former Jefe de Jefes.
00:27:34He doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:27:38Trying to showcase what he can do inside the ring.
00:27:40Nice counter, look at the escape, look at the weakness, look at the ability.
00:27:43Shoulders down, shoulders down.
00:27:44Escobar able to kick out at two.
00:27:47And Escobar again this time, countered one more time.
00:27:51Nathan Frazier is like greased lightning in that ring.
00:27:53Frazier coming right back in and now the pace is crooked.
00:27:56And that certainly is gonna favor one superstar, the electrifying Nathan Frazier.
00:28:01Mike Wilder just about bought himself an opportunity finally in this matchup.
00:28:07It has been long way traffic from Santos Escobar.
00:28:09But the wherewithal of Nathan Frazier just about bringing himself back into this matchup with moves like that.
00:28:17Wait, as I was saying earlier, this guy, he's got a lot of work for him, right?
00:28:22He's embarrassing me, stacks, good eyes, even his little me is all right.
00:28:27He's a work in progress is what you're saying, Mr. D'Angelo.
00:28:30You can't even believe that, Wadey.
00:28:32Former champion in Santos Escobar.
00:28:34Do you feel Mr. D'Angelo?
00:28:37No, you're not Mr. D'Angelo.
00:28:39Does that look like a champion of yours?
00:28:40Oh, standing shooting star press.
00:28:42Cover, count.
00:28:43Oh, another kick out by Escobar.
00:28:45That was close.
00:28:47And I think all of us could agree this would be the biggest win of Nathan Frazier's career.
00:28:51A young kid from England getting a huge opportunity out here in NXT, getting to step in the spotlight.
00:28:59With Santos Escobar, the victory tonight would be huge to Frazier, but it's luck and bleep.
00:29:05And for the Phantom Driver, Frazier continuing to fight, able to counter slip down.
00:29:09And now super kick under the jaw, a little bit extra as Escobar left his feet.
00:29:18Donovan just slid a crowbar to Escobar.
00:29:23What is he doing?
00:29:26But it's not what I told him to do.
00:29:28Oh!
00:29:29Well, that momentary distraction now has opened the door.
00:29:32Well, this is why you've got to listen to the boss.
00:29:35Santos Escobar laying pro.
00:29:37Oh!
00:29:41Huge win for Frazier.
00:29:44What is she, all he had to do was grab the bar.
00:29:46It was sitting right there.
00:29:47Well, Santos Escobar already has himself to blame here.
00:29:51Nice job, moron!
00:29:54Can you believe this guy?
00:29:55I am a wonderer
00:29:58Let's get back into some of the action in this match-up.
00:30:02That was right in the middle of all the action.
00:30:04Escobar, at least I thought along with the NXT universe, would hit that patented Phantom Driver.
00:30:10Frazier would continue to show fight.
00:30:12This is where it broke down.
00:30:13A beautiful shot to the jaw from Escobar.
00:30:16This is where it broke down.
00:30:18The opportunity with the crowbar.
00:30:19Escobar had it in hand.
00:30:21Benevolent boss of Tony D trying to hide out his new acquisition to the family.
00:30:27Escobar refusing, and it cost him badly, because this was the end result.
00:30:31Nathan Fraser doing what he does.
00:30:33Whoa!
00:30:34High update, high action.
00:30:35One, two, three.
00:30:36Biggest win of Frazier's career thus far.
00:30:39More than that can make me feel alive, Lord you.
00:30:42Here we are!
00:30:43Where were you at, huh?
00:30:44Santa Barbara.
00:30:46Put it right there!
00:30:48My man!
00:30:49I didn't hear anything about this lady for my skin.
00:30:52Nathan Fraser with a victory over Santos Escobar.
00:30:55With me now, Zion Quinn.
00:30:57Zion, last week you made your return-
00:30:59Nathan…
00:31:00Fraser. Another guy who carries around a rabbit foot everywhere he goes.
00:31:05Fraser, Wesley, they're all the same.
00:31:08You know, for seven days straight, not only did I have to sit there and watch,
00:31:12but I had to listen to Wesley's name all over the social media.
00:31:17Wesley's amazing. Wesley is so brave.
00:31:20Did you watch Wesley's victory last week?
00:31:22That match went for five minutes.
00:31:24I dominated him for four minutes and 57 seconds.
00:31:28Those last three seconds, the little guy pulls a rabbit out of the hat,
00:31:32and you call that a victory?
00:31:35Not where I'm from. We call that luck.
00:31:38So next week when I get my rematch,
00:31:41it's not going to be the same result for Mr. Cinderella Man.
00:31:45Let's just hope his big buddy Senga's there to pick him up afterwards.
00:31:48Because when I'm done with Wesley, he's going to be unconscious.
00:31:57Well, it's quite the rematch for next week.
00:31:59But this superstar conquered his emotions, retained his title.
00:32:03We'll hear from the NXT champion Braun Breaker next.
00:32:14He conquered his emotions.
00:32:17He withstood the test.
00:32:19He retained his title.
00:32:22He restored order to his brand.
00:32:27Please welcome the NXT champion Braun Breaker.
00:32:36And he has taken one huge step as champion.
00:32:41Well, we witnessed the maturation of Braun Breaker this past Saturday at NXT In Your House.
00:32:49He's conquered some of those internal demons that he's been battling with for the past 12 months.
00:32:54In fact, probably for his entire life.
00:32:57Took control of his own destiny.
00:33:00And there's the end result.
00:33:02That championship still in the hands of the young cop himself, Braun Breaker.
00:33:07Yeah, Saturday was a huge step forward in this young man's journey to the title.
00:33:31NXT In Your House was a battle.
00:33:34I mean, Joe Gacy challenged me mentally, challenged me physically.
00:33:39Hell, he even went after my father.
00:33:41He went after my family.
00:33:42He made things personal.
00:33:44But no matter what Joe Gacy did, he was not taking this NXT championship away from me.
00:33:56And that night, it wasn't just about me.
00:33:58It was about NXT.
00:34:01This place is special.
00:34:03NXT is special.
00:34:20And after I went through the curtain that night, I could see the look on everyone's faces.
00:34:25See, everyone wants an opportunity at this championship.
00:34:30So, question is, who's gonna step up to the challenge?
00:34:42Apollo!
00:34:43No!
00:34:47Whoa!
00:34:50What?
00:34:51No way.
00:34:52We say expect the unexpected.
00:34:57Apollo Crews!
00:34:58That's right, the boy!
00:34:59He's in NXT!
00:35:00I'm back!
00:35:02Oh, yeah!
00:35:03How cool is this?
00:35:04It's real!
00:35:05Believe it!
00:35:06Believe it!
00:35:07Because it's true!
00:35:08I'm back, yeah!
00:35:09Oh, yeah!
00:35:15Do you hear the NXT universe?
00:35:17Yeah, I feel like the crowd is vibrating.
00:35:20They're going nuts!
00:35:23Former United States Champion.
00:35:26Former Intercontinental Champion.
00:35:31Blowing the roof off with just an entrance.
00:35:34They love this guy!
00:35:36They love this guy!
00:35:51Not just as stunned as the NXT Universe right now.
00:35:54Wow!
00:35:55This is really cool, but get over the excitement quick.
00:35:59I want to know, what are his intentions?
00:36:01I want to know, what are your intentions?
00:36:02Just do your subsequence right now.
00:36:03K shall then?
00:36:04Only with my Ken and Jpsek.
00:36:04Well, what's your beginning, guys?
00:36:05The song about WWE in NXT?
00:36:15Over the top of WWE, this one is amazing.
00:36:23The song with XF2.
00:36:23Go!
00:36:24Coupe-ing試is.
00:36:29Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
00:36:36Believe me when I say this, I mean each and every word from the bottom of my heart,
00:36:41this is the type of energy that I have missed.
00:37:14I miss you on your title defense, man.
00:37:17I miss you too, I miss you too, I miss each and every one of you.
00:37:25Man, I gotta say, I've watched your meteoric rise to the top, and
00:37:29you are one of the best athletes, not just in NXT, but in all of WWE.
00:37:40Man, I couldn't agree with you more.
00:37:41This place is special, and I love this place.
00:37:48When I left NXT for the first time, I left way too soon,
00:37:51and I left a lot of things that I wanted to accomplish on the table.
00:37:56But I'm back to correct history.
00:38:00I am back to change history.
00:38:03Apollo Crews is back to make history.
00:38:12Brother, I envision that one day sooner rather than later,
00:38:17you and I will be making some history together.
00:38:23Until that day, I'll see you down the road, champ.
00:38:37An unbelievable moment.
00:38:41Breaker asked the question, Apollo Crews has answered.
00:38:45What is going to happen next in NXT?
00:38:54Which of these ladies will win the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament?
00:38:58Will it be Roxanne Perez?
00:38:59Winning this breakout tournament and that championship contract would honestly change my life.
00:39:05And I'm going to fight like it.
00:39:07Or will it be Tiffany Stratton?
00:39:09When you expect greatness to happen to you,
00:39:11success pretty much follows you around like a personal assistant.
00:39:15It's the woman's breakout tournament, not the little girl's breakout tournament.
00:39:20You can make all the insults you want.
00:39:23These opportunities may just come naturally to you,
00:39:25but I've had to work for every single one.
00:39:29The finals are set.
00:39:30Stratton will face Roxanne Perez.
00:39:35Well, it is time for history to be made.
00:39:38Both these women have put in final preparations.
00:39:40They are ready for action.
00:39:42Who will win the first ever NXT Women's Breakout Tournament?
00:39:47Who will earn a guaranteed championship opportunity of their choosing?
00:39:51Stratton Perez, finals next.
00:39:53I'm going to show you never have a chance.
00:39:55I'm going to show you never have a chance.
00:39:57Recognizing you can't get through this life all alone is not a weakness, but a strength.
00:40:06There are people in this world that need guidance.
00:40:10You two were prime examples.
00:40:14You realized you were not fulfilled.
00:40:17So you cleared your minds and opened your hearts to me.
00:40:26We've made great strides.
00:40:30There are people that don't understand.
00:40:33We are shaping the world by maximizing our exposure on the platform we have each and every week.
00:40:43Our message is far more important than any worldly possessions or symbols.
00:40:55But now, now, we can focus on your progression.
00:41:03Forget what you've been called.
00:41:06You are the Dyad.
00:41:09And you will continue to be an extension of me starting next week when you compete in the ring for
00:41:20the very first time.
00:41:29We have it, the Dyad's in-ring game taking place next week under the all-team gaze of Joe Jason.
00:41:38Tiffany Stratton locking her eyes on the guaranteed championship contract if she can win the first-ever NXT Women's Breakout
00:41:48Tournament.
00:42:03Of course, it was Stratton who replaced Nikita Lyons after Lyons had to withdraw due to injury.
00:42:08And no doubt, it's been Stratton who has had an easier route to the finals than her opponent tonight, Roxanne
00:42:14Perez.
00:42:14Easier?
00:42:15Easier.
00:42:16Are you kidding me?
00:42:17How do you figure she has?
00:42:19Tiffany Stratton was overworked by management, not even allowed to enter the Breakout Tournament.
00:42:25Imagine the stress that puts on you, the slap in the face you receive.
00:42:29However, Stratton was magnanimous enough to step in as an alternate for Nikita Lyons and save the credibility of the
00:42:37tournament.
00:42:37How do you figure easier route?
00:42:40Roxanne Perez has had to compete since the very beginning of this tournament.
00:42:45Tiffany Stratton would have looked to, she wasn't invited anyway.
00:42:49Tiffany Stratton beat Soray a few weeks ago, so...
00:42:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:42:53You're, you're, no, your Soray argument does not count.
00:42:56Before this, look at the bracket.
00:42:57Do the math with me.
00:42:58Roxanne Perez beat James and Paxley.
00:43:01One plus one is two.
00:43:02Two wins got her to the finals.
00:43:04Stratton had one.
00:43:05Two is greater than one.
00:43:06She had an easier route, that being Stratton.
00:43:08Disrespect from NXT management and not even entering Tiffany Stratton.
00:43:13And the following is the final match of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament.
00:43:20Introducing first, Tiffany Stratton.
00:43:29And her opponent, Roxanne Perez.
00:43:36Thank you for Alicia Taylor for interrupting you with the nonsense you were spitting.
00:43:41This is the finals of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament.
00:43:45As you can hear from the NXT Universe, a sentimental favorite since the beginning has been Perez,
00:43:51who does have a few matches, and you even have to admit, is battle-tested heading into the finals.
00:43:55Nothing against Roxanne Perez.
00:43:57She's very young.
00:43:58She's undersized.
00:44:00Let's go, Roxanne!
00:44:02Let's go, Roxanne!
00:44:03Oh, you're highly talented.
00:44:05You've got a massive online backing for Roxanne Perez.
00:44:08And indeed, apparently here in the NXT Universe, support is great.
00:44:11It isn't going to win you the big matches, however.
00:44:14Now, Perez has thanked all those that have supported her since her journey began,
00:44:18noted this is the biggest match of her life.
00:44:22Yes, it is.
00:44:23And it's the biggest match of Tiffany Stratton's life, too.
00:44:26It can be a make or break.
00:44:28Nice takedown into the cover.
00:44:29Quick kick out.
00:44:30Win this tournament, and you are going to follow
00:44:32in the huge footsteps of Carmelo Hayes,
00:44:36the now North American champ.
00:44:38Once again, lose it, though, and it could start a downward spiral.
00:44:42I saw Carmelo Hayes earlier tonight.
00:44:44He is set for a possible main event matchup two-on-one,
00:44:48teaming up with Brace Long and Solo's Cola.
00:44:53Olympic, gymnastic skills by Tiffany Stratton.
00:44:56He's the keeper on the goal, I don't know.
00:44:57We're talking about all the support for Roxanne Perez.
00:45:01One of our biggest supporters is Cora Jade, who is watching this matchup very closely.
00:45:05When you think of Cora Jade, and you think of Roxanne Perez,
00:45:08as you think of Natalya, who recently became the number one contender
00:45:11to Ronda Rousey's SmackDown Women's Championship.
00:45:14Oh, look at the boat, Natalya.
00:45:16But I don't know if there's a superstar on Raw or SmackDown
00:45:19who can stop Ronda Rousey right now.
00:45:23Win control, and as we mentioned, it is official now.
00:45:26Hayes, Waller, Sokoa, handicap match, two-on-one, later on here at NXT.
00:45:33Solo Sokoa must be a glutton for punishment.
00:45:36He's already been stomped once tonight, maybe once again in our main event.
00:45:41Well, you certainly have been feeling the fallout of In Your House,
00:45:43and again, the winner of this matchup makes history,
00:45:46wins the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament,
00:45:49earns a championship opportunity of their choosing,
00:45:53and both these women have had quite the different paths to NXT.
00:45:58Yes, they have.
00:45:59Raw had everything she's ever wanted, paid for her by her rich daddy.
00:46:03That's Tiffany Stratton, of course, the other who caught the bus to train his team.
00:46:08I'll be honest, a lot of people like to support the underdog,
00:46:11and I understand that, but let's face it, in truth,
00:46:14we all know which upbringing we would have preferred.
00:46:17It would have been that of Tiffany Stratton.
00:46:19Well, bending back the digits right now is Stratton.
00:46:21You can see the pain etched on the face of Perez,
00:46:23and this has been Perez's dream.
00:46:25She is not going to quit.
00:46:26I can't see her saying, I quit.
00:46:29Can't see it yet.
00:46:30She's never been in there with someone as vicious as Tiffany Stratton.
00:46:33And look, what's on Perez?
00:46:35She's surpassed expectations in the early goings of her career thus far.
00:46:40She's been in there with some of the best in NXT,
00:46:42including those in toxic attraction.
00:46:45But there's still question marks about her.
00:46:47How much of it is beginner's luck?
00:46:49How much of it is catching opponents by surprise?
00:46:53Will it come back to Bite Her today with Tiffany Stratton?
00:46:58Talking about Tiffany Stratton, she certainly is pretentious.
00:47:01It's a pretty good word to describe Tiffany Stratton.
00:47:03It's not pretentious if you can back it up.
00:47:07And right now, Tiffany Stratton has backed up everything she's ever said.
00:47:10And let me tell you this,
00:47:11if she wins the women's breakout tournament tonight,
00:47:14she isn't pretentious.
00:47:15She's just been correct all along.
00:47:17And now, Stratton showcasing the strength Barrett you were talking about earlier.
00:47:23And, whoa, nice counter.
00:47:25This maneuverability from Roxanne Perez, diminutive individual,
00:47:30slippery little devil.
00:47:32Well, Perez knows just how important this matchup is.
00:47:36She's talked about the support.
00:47:37She's talked about her upbringing.
00:47:39You mentioned those long bus rides to train.
00:47:42She's remembering those right now in this moment.
00:47:45A little power struggle in there right now.
00:47:48Perez doing her best to try to match power with Stratton.
00:47:53And Stratton, by surprise, getting her at sixes and sevens,
00:47:57keeping her dizzy.
00:47:58Smart stuff here from Roxanne Perez.
00:48:00Again.
00:48:01Oh!
00:48:03And Stratton's had to be very quick,
00:48:05very decisive with her maneuvers.
00:48:07And Stratton has tried to skew her strength,
00:48:10and she just ripped Perez off the top rope.
00:48:13Who will make history?
00:48:14Who will win the finals?
00:48:15Who will be the breakout superstar in the women's division?
00:48:24There is the guaranteed contract opportunity for one of these two women.
00:48:28Who will win the first ever NXT Women Breakout Tournament?
00:48:32Who will make history, which is guaranteed to be made here tonight?
00:48:36But moments ago before the commercial break, the strength,
00:48:39the power of Tiffany Stratton in a nasty landing for Roxanne Perez.
00:48:43The smarts of Tiffany Stratton, too, Daddy would have been proud.
00:48:46Shoulders out, shoulders out.
00:48:47Oh, that was close.
00:48:49And it has been pure dominance from Tiffany Stratton ever since.
00:48:53And Roxanne Perez all through the break screaming in agony as Tiffany Stratton has
00:48:58turned it up to another rival.
00:48:59She certainly has into another cover, another hook of the leg, and Perez again,
00:49:03having to kick out in Stratton.
00:49:05You can feel the sense of urgency in Stratton, who said this week she believed she had already
00:49:10won the tournament.
00:49:11As a matter of fact, called Perez a girl, not a woman.
00:49:14Well, it's understandable.
00:49:16Tiffany Stratton had a lifetime of wins since the day she was born.
00:49:21We've mentioned the Olympic-level gymnast performances, knows how to get to the top,
00:49:26and that confidence has been backed up by W after W every time she's ever competed.
00:49:33You see the torque on the left shoulder.
00:49:35Perez continuing to fight in this matchup, but man alive!
00:49:39You see the torque on the shoulder, but a lot of the panic in the eyes of Roxanne Perez
00:49:44might have a dislocated shoulder at this point.
00:49:47She sees her hopes of winning going up in smoke right now.
00:49:50Oh, from behind, shoulders down, another near-fall.
00:49:52Perez, there is a target on the left shoulder, and Perez now really gonna have to dig deep.
00:49:57One thing you cannot count out when it comes to Roxanne Perez,
00:50:01you know she's always gonna come back with something until she's denied like that.
00:50:07Straton has executed her game plan here tonight.
00:50:11She is physically dissecting Roxanne Perez.
00:50:15And Straton could be one more W away from making history tonight.
00:50:21That could be it.
00:50:22One, two.
00:50:24Perez again able to kick out.
00:50:26Wow.
00:50:27Game plan has been outstanding from Tiffany Stratton.
00:50:30As soon as she got that window of opportunity, she's following her time and time again with moves like this.
00:50:36As you see, Roxanne Perez just getting crushed time and time again here.
00:50:41Tiffany Stratton can it.
00:50:43A counter from Perez, who's tried to stay one step ahead of Stratton in this matchup, but Stratton, the strength,
00:50:51too much to overcome.
00:50:53He's countered every time, firing us out a small window.
00:50:57Well, there's a bigger one right now.
00:50:58And for Perez, she's remembering all those long nights.
00:51:01She had to take a bus ride.
00:51:03Remembering all those that doubted her, that said her dream couldn't come true.
00:51:08Perez trying to make it all come true tonight.
00:51:11Perez getting Stratton back into the ring.
00:51:13This could be Perez's moment.
00:51:16A moment of a lifetime.
00:51:19Perez with a lot of sails.
00:51:22Cover!
00:51:24Oh, Stratton able to kick out.
00:51:27Breaking up momentum here, feeding off the NXT Universe.
00:51:32Oh, a little bit of twist.
00:51:34But she landed on the injured left arm did Perez.
00:51:37Such is the brilliance of the strategy of Tiffany Stratton just when Perez gets-
00:51:42Into the cover again, into the cover again.
00:51:44Crucifix, crucifix.
00:51:46Almost stole it.
00:51:48And now Stratton quickly, using her power.
00:51:52That's gotta be it.
00:51:53Perez is out.
00:51:55No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:57Perez looking glassy-eyed there, kicking out just about instinctively, perhaps.
00:52:07NXT Universe trying to will on Roxanne Perez.
00:52:11These two young ladies stepping their game up to levels they perhaps didn't even know they had themselves.
00:52:18Well, Stratton, and Perez almost out of desperation, but at this point there is no tomorrow.
00:52:27Stratton, whoa!
00:52:30Just about cool, Perez didn't catch a flush, however.
00:52:34Oh, and Perez now pop rocks!
00:52:36Cover!
00:52:37Count!
00:52:38Perez has made history tonight.
00:52:43Here is your winner of the 2022 NXT Women's Breakout Tournament, Roxanne Perez!
00:52:54With her best friend Cora Jade now by her side, the emotions starting to flood out of Roxanne Perez.
00:53:03What a scramble of a matchup turned into a complete dogfight by the end, but somehow putting it all on
00:53:12the line.
00:53:12Roxanne Perez in pursuit of victory.
00:53:16How this didn't win the match for Tiffany Stratton, I will never know.
00:53:19It's the heart of the champion, it's remembering the long nights, the drives, the will to be the best, the
00:53:24desire to make a dream come true.
00:53:27Take nothing away from Tiffany Stratton, she showcased her gifts here tonight of what has made her special this far
00:53:33at NXT.
00:53:33But in the end, Roxanne Perez picks up the victory, makes history, and now for Roxanne Perez, she has a
00:53:42guaranteed championship opportunity of her choosing.
00:53:47Congratulations, Roxanne Perez!
00:53:58Welcome to the big leagues, Roxanne Perez. The celebration is not going to last long.
00:54:08Roxanne Perez. Congratulations, Roxanne!
00:54:12All the sacrifices, the hardships, those long bus rides, it all paid off.
00:54:21Honestly, you should be really proud of yourself.
00:54:24And to top it off, you have your best friend standing beside you to soak it all in?
00:54:30Wow. That's amazing.
00:54:39I mean, really.
00:54:41You should be really proud of yourself, honestly.
00:54:45Really enjoy this moment.
00:54:50Because unfortunately, it's all downhill from here.
00:54:59If you think that you're going to cash in that contract on me, oh, no, no, no, honey.
00:55:07You have a better chance of going to Raw or SmackDown, or better yet, just leaving it in your closet
00:55:15hung up somewhere.
00:55:19Roxanne, if you challenge me, you will fail.
00:55:27I mean, just ask your best friend, Cora Jade.
00:55:31She not only had one opportunity, but she had two and failed both times.
00:55:39So this title isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
00:55:46And you, if you think you're a little skateboarding app.
00:55:51Oh!
00:55:52Cheap shot!
00:55:53What do you mean, cheap shot?
00:55:54What kind of, I mean, what kind of woman is Mandy Rose at this junction?
00:55:58The jealousy of Toxic Attraction, because the spotlight was on someone else.
00:56:02To ruin this moment?
00:56:03Mandy Rose, Mandy Rose came down in high heels.
00:56:06Oh, she wasn't dressed up.
00:56:07Oh!
00:56:09Mandy Hartwell.
00:56:11No more numbers advantage for Toxic Attraction.
00:56:16Whoa!
00:56:23And Hartwell said she was gonna kick Rose in the face.
00:56:28She does so tonight.
00:56:31What the heck?
00:56:32No!
00:56:38Wait, I'm being told that our cameras have caught something going on in the back as it
00:56:44relates to Chase you.
00:56:49What the hell happened?
00:56:51Oh my goodness!
00:56:53Who did you say?
00:56:54Who?
00:56:54Who was it?
00:56:57Who was it?
00:56:57Who did this?
00:56:58It was pretty dead.
00:56:59Pretty dead.
00:56:59Where did they come from?
00:57:01They came from behind.
00:57:02I'm coming with.
00:57:03No, no, stay here!
00:57:04No, no, stay here!
00:57:05No!
00:57:06I can't let you compete.
00:57:07Keep an eye out.
00:57:08Stay with him.
00:57:09Give him some medicine.
00:57:10Son of a bitch!
00:57:14I'll whoop her ass.
00:57:15I can go.
00:57:16I can go.
00:57:17I can go.
00:57:19Our own Mackenzie Mitchell right now standing by with Wendy Chu.
00:57:25Thanks guys, I'm here with Wendy Chu.
00:57:27And Wendy, unfortunately, things didn't go your way this Saturday at NXT.
00:57:30What happened out there?
00:57:31She cheated.
00:57:32I can't believe the rest didn't see it.
00:57:34Excuse me.
00:57:35You're excused.
00:57:36Did you see that, Mackenzie?
00:57:38If we were gonna fight unfair, I would have totally beat her in like 30 seconds.
00:57:41Hello?
00:57:43What do you want?
00:57:44It's clearly my time right now.
00:57:46I won a rematch.
00:57:48It was totally unfair.
00:57:49Hey.
00:57:54Someone give me a cup!
00:57:55Someone give me a cup!
00:57:56Someone give me a cup!
00:57:57Someone give me a cup!
00:57:59Somebody give me a cup!
00:58:01Wendy Chu adding insult to injury but Tiffany Stratton, what a nightmare gave her.
00:58:06Could have happened any more nice
00:58:13The bowling contest is a tag team match given for one ball introducing first pretty
00:58:24Well here come the former NXT tag team champions in
00:58:29I don't have that pep in their step you're closing on
00:58:33It's floating already. You're loving it. You're loving their misfortune
00:58:40I'm pretty miserable pretty unhappy
00:58:43Pretty distant at the moment. It is a sad day the last from England to me just don't look right
00:58:48without the gold
00:58:50And I'll say this no
00:58:52No boy, yes, yes boy is good. No boy is bad right now. I mean no boy
00:59:04No boy
00:59:09Well at least you guys had the same fashion sense today you guys don't look like you dressed in like
00:59:13the inside of Oldsmobile
00:59:14Yeah, I should have put some guy liner on to that would have
00:59:30Well walking with a purpose
00:59:32Opponents is plural
00:59:34Yeah, I'm looking around and then of course we just saw Bodie Hayward before the commercial break was taken out
00:59:39and he said it was bye pretty deadly but Andre Chase looking for a teachable moment
00:59:45Well Andre Chase must be smart and he's got more guts than brains right now. He's up against that former
00:59:50tag team champions
00:59:53It looks like he's gonna have to attempt this single
00:59:56They just like so much tonight's main event certainly is it up until about 10 minutes ago. It's been a
01:00:02banner
01:00:03League for Chase you
01:00:05Yeah, battle league biggest crew in the history
01:00:08Oh
01:00:09Collegiate recruitment
01:00:10Chase you beat our host of Ivy League schools to get the signature of the air
01:00:15Little lady with a 4.0 GPA
01:00:18Thank you
01:00:18Tonight though, it's all about Peter pong. It's all about marching bands. It's a fight with two pissed off Englishmen
01:00:32This match is official. I'm still looking to see it. Andre Chase is by himself but joking aside. Pretty deadly.
01:00:42They don't look like themselves. There's no fun in games. They're not smiling. They're not joking around.
01:00:46I walked past them in the hallway earlier today. I didn't smell the distinctive walk of flowery timothy from their
01:00:55hair. They're just destroyed at the moment. They look good. They ain't smiling though. They ain't happy and they are
01:01:01taking their frustration out on Andre Chase. Deservedly so for his actions in the locker room.
01:01:08Wilson and Chris sending a message right now to the NXT locker room. And he might end up turning into
01:01:16a teachable moment for Andre Chase. And now two on one.
01:01:21Here we go. Terry Pogba has a lot. Doesn't look much use to young Pogba.
01:01:26Oh, but you gave him just to stay.
01:01:30Mr. Chase needs us. He needs us. He needs us. He needs us. He needs us.
01:01:38I don't think that meant you're the Hale.
01:01:41You're gonna talk some sense into Bodie. Hey, you want someone to talk some sense into her right now?
01:01:46What are you doing? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:01:57She might be trying to slap Sense into Pretty Deadly, but that just woke up Andre Chase.
01:02:03And Chase now taking Pretty Deadly to school.
01:02:07Nice Russian leg sweep.
01:02:26And
01:02:27Chase now,
01:02:30a huge victory here for Andre.
01:02:32I mean, what a victory this would be for Chase and tag with me.
01:02:36Oh, Chase didn't realize it.
01:02:38Certainly does now in Pretty Deadly, looking for some spilt milk.
01:02:46And the bad taste, out of the mouth for Pretty Deadly.
01:02:51Here are your winners, Pretty Deadly.
01:02:59I mean, give credit, I guess, where credit is due for Andre Chase,
01:03:03but Pretty Deadly standing tall tonight.
01:03:09Hey, hold on, Melo.
01:03:10I think they're waiting on us.
01:03:12How you doing, champ?
01:03:14And congrats, by the way.
01:03:15But as you know, you're not the only one with a big victory at any house.
01:03:21So if you want this title reign to last longer than the first one,
01:03:25falling in line under the Don might not be such a bad idea.
01:03:29Hey, Tony, Tony, Tony.
01:03:31You may be the Don of NXT, but he is the son of NXT.
01:03:37Everything revolves around him.
01:03:39Yeah, hey, let me put it like this, Tony.
01:03:41I'm gobbled good on any offer that you got mentioned in my championship.
01:03:45So thank you, but no thank you.
01:03:50Okay, then you better stay out of my way, son.
01:03:53Cuz if you don't, this whole title reign will end in a blink of an eye.
01:03:59But good luck in the main event tonight.
01:04:03Who's he calling son?
01:04:04I don't know, man, he need to put some respect on me, I am the two time champion, man.
01:04:08I'm blinking.
01:04:09You still got your title, baby.
01:04:10Man, these guys, man, they got nerve, man.
01:04:12Once you've got the gold,
01:04:13every relationship becomes just a little more tense, Melo understands that.
01:04:32The following contest is scheduled for one fall, making her way to the ring, Elba Fire.
01:04:40Elba Fire, the flame has lit a path for Fire, who certainly has rediscovered her past.
01:04:51Is another victory in her future.
01:04:56We will find out as Elba Fire is in action next on NXT.
01:05:08Welcome back to NXT.
01:05:13Introducing Tatum Paxley.
01:05:16And look, we gotta go back to this past Saturday.
01:05:18It was during the In Your House Premium Live event that Paxley had an interesting interaction,
01:05:22Wade, if you remember, with Lash Legend.
01:05:24Yeah, absolutely.
01:05:25Paxley called her shot.
01:05:27She said, if you're gonna talk the talk, let's see if you can walk the walk.
01:05:31She asked for an opportunity, and now she steps up against the resurgent Alba Fire.
01:05:39And NXT Universe already on their feet for Alba Fire, who certainly has the respect of those
01:05:45in the universe.
01:05:46But I wanna focus on Paxley for a second, because you mentioned tough talk.
01:05:49Can she back that tough talk up here tonight?
01:05:52I don't care if you're in the men's locker room or the women's locker room.
01:05:56We all wanna do it all through, shoulders down.
01:05:59We all wanna talk some smack, create opportunities.
01:06:02When you call your shot, you better be ready to back it on.
01:06:06Well, I'm gonna bone to pick with you.
01:06:08I've given you enough time today.
01:06:09You didn't congratulate me on my 100th episode.
01:06:12Oh, Crucifix can't do it now either.
01:06:14Another kick out.
01:06:14100th episode of commentating here at NXT and in your house.
01:06:19Where was my congratulations, Vic?
01:06:20What do you want?
01:06:22Congratulations, episode 101.
01:06:23Celebration, award, champion, something.
01:06:25Just something, acknowledgement.
01:06:27You've been in your feelings all day.
01:06:28Too much to ask, isn't it?
01:06:29Let's get back into the matchup.
01:06:30It's Paxley right into the cover, shoulders down again.
01:06:33Another near fall, and what a victory this would be for Tatum Paxley.
01:06:37As we mentioned, that interaction with Lash Legend, Paxley went to management,
01:06:40asked for this matchup.
01:06:41Could she pick up the win?
01:06:43And another kick out by Fire.
01:06:46Paxley has brought it here tonight.
01:06:48Relative newcomer, especially in comparison to the experience levels.
01:06:51Alba Fire, former NXT UK forever chap.
01:06:55Could be out is Paxley in a kick out.
01:06:58An experience right in her face.
01:07:01And look, has the fire reignited the flame within Alba?
01:07:05It's starting to with Alba Fire.
01:07:07She's already had a great career, of course, in NXT UK.
01:07:10It is tough to transition over the Atlanta.
01:07:13I had to do it myself.
01:07:15Very difficult.
01:07:16Took me years.
01:07:17But it's been tough sledding so far for Alba Fire in NXT.
01:07:21Has the ability of Hunger to get to the top.
01:07:23Well, she's also trying to repossess that spirit of her past.
01:07:28Trying to tap into some heritage there.
01:07:30Uncover a more primal version of herself.
01:07:32Well, certainly seeing that right now.
01:07:34Into the cover, hook of the leg.
01:07:35And a near fall in this matchup.
01:07:37But as we learned on Raw, the Judgment Day's Rhea Ripley
01:07:40has earned a Raw women's title match against Bianca Belair
01:07:43at the Money in the Bank premium live event.
01:07:45Same night, men and women will have an opportunity of a lifetime.
01:07:48In the Money in the Bank ladder match, Gory Bomb connects.
01:07:51Bang, perfect there from Alba Fire.
01:07:53Just what we come to expect.
01:07:55And this, I suppose, spells doom now for Tatum Paxley.
01:08:00Only one way this match is going.
01:08:01And what goes, oh.
01:08:04Alba Fire.
01:08:06Two backs.
01:08:09One, two, three.
01:08:11Big victory for Fire tonight.
01:08:15Here is your winner, Alba Fire.
01:08:18How the hell did Alba Fire still hit that, even after Paxley move?
01:08:26Let's go back to some of the action.
01:08:29One, two, three, two, one.
01:08:31Come on, you talked about it.
01:08:33The hang time for Alba Fire in this matchup.
01:08:38Everything she was, she withstood the weather.
01:08:40The damage early on up front was able to weather the storm, so to speak.
01:08:45And let's take another look.
01:08:48I mean, one more look.
01:08:50We can slow it down for just a moment.
01:08:53Alba Fire, take a look at the distance.
01:08:57That Fire flies.
01:08:59I actually thought she'd get to the same distance, but so athletic as Alba Fire,
01:09:04she still managed to hit that swamp onto the floor.
01:09:09What you got to say now, Alba?
01:09:11What?
01:09:12What?
01:09:12What?
01:09:13What?
01:09:13Bring it back now, Alba!
01:09:14Talk about getting hit.
01:09:16Les Legend just put the flame out.
01:09:18What?
01:09:19What?
01:09:20What?
01:09:20Who tracks?
01:09:22Who tracks?
01:09:23Who tracks?
01:09:23Somebody come with me.
01:09:24Nobody.
01:09:25You know what I'm saying?
01:09:26I like them.
01:09:27Look at them.
01:09:27Man, they're shiny.
01:09:28Hey, look, I know I've given you guys a hard time, and some things were said.
01:09:36I mean, we're all alphas, right?
01:09:38Especially Big Ive.
01:09:40Big Ive.
01:09:41But let's get back to Saturday.
01:09:42That was the biggest challenge of your career, and you guys not only rose to the occasion,
01:09:47you dominated, which was amazing.
01:09:50And I just wanted to say again, congratulations on being the new NXT Tag Team Champions.
01:09:57For sure.
01:09:58Pretty proud of you guys.
01:09:59Hey, let's bring it in.
01:10:01Dive in my heart.
01:10:02Water up the bridge, baby.
01:10:04Hey.
01:10:05Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:10:06These guys are all gone.
01:10:07Hey, guys, great win at In Your House.
01:10:10Yeah, Brutus, when you hit that cannon bar from the top, amazing.
01:10:13And Julius, bro, that shooting star picture, perfect.
01:10:16Hey, but we're really happy that y'all got your moment, but we're just thinking maybe your
01:10:21boys Idris and Malik can earn a shot at them Tag Team Championships.
01:10:25Idris and Malik, huh?
01:10:26Yeah, Saturday was a big day for us.
01:10:28We had to be dialed in.
01:10:30We had to go out and perform.
01:10:31We had friends.
01:10:32We had family.
01:10:33And even with all that, we still heard you talking that time.
01:10:39And we appreciate it.
01:10:40You said we worked great, right?
01:10:41You said we worked great, right?
01:10:43You said we worked great, right?
01:10:44You said we worked great, right?
01:10:45You said we worked great, right?
01:10:46Hey, you guys want a title opportunity next week?
01:10:48Damn it, yeah.
01:10:49And we'd be honored.
01:10:50Hey, let's do it.
01:10:51Right.
01:10:51Let's go, baby.
01:10:52Come on.
01:10:52Next week.
01:10:53Let's run it.
01:10:53Hey, let's do it.
01:10:54Don't back down.
01:10:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:10:55What the hell are you guys doing?
01:10:57You said Donalmine doesn't back down.
01:10:58This isn't Christmas.
01:10:59You just don't hand out championship matches for free.
01:11:02You make those guys earn it.
01:11:04Oh, but that's right.
01:11:05You guys have never been champions before.
01:11:07And I've been champion countless times.
01:11:11And now that I'm thinking about it,
01:11:13you guys made a couple mistakes in there that almost cost you guys those titles.
01:11:17You guys are lucky to be champs right now.
01:11:19I was going to give you guys one mistake as champions,
01:11:23and you just made it.
01:11:31Well, he might have a championship showdown next week,
01:11:34but Solo Sokoa earlier tonight said he has no fear in his eyes.
01:11:37He laid the challenge down.
01:11:39It will be a handicap match.
01:11:41Two on one against Grayson Waller and the new North American champion Carmelo Hayes.
01:11:46This match next on NXT.
01:11:51In this world, fortune favors the boldness and his fortune does not end.
01:12:00His fortune is not only measured by his account in the bank,
01:12:04but also by the wealth of style and talent for performance.
01:12:10His ability to get out of the dominant circle shows that he does not do anything and even a remorse.
01:12:18He is destined to find success at every occasion.
01:12:21It's time to show the world who he is.
01:12:24Prepare for his arrival,
01:12:26because NXT will not be the same anymore.
01:12:31Come.
01:12:33Vini Vini Vinci.
01:12:44A big debut next week, but also next week.
01:12:47Six women showdown after the brawl tonight.
01:12:50The champions of NXT will face Indi Hartwell,
01:12:53Cora Jade and the women's breakout tournament winner,
01:12:56Roxanne Perez live next week here on NXT.
01:12:59Huge matchup there,
01:13:00and it gets even bigger championships on the line,
01:13:02because the new NXT Tag Champs and Creed's were in a benevolent mood earlier.
01:13:06They defend against Blade and Inofi right here next week.
01:13:11Now, speaking of Tag Team action,
01:13:12it is a handicap match this week on NXT.
01:13:17The following contest is a handicap match scheduled for one fall.
01:13:21Introducing first, Grayson Waller and accompanied by Chris Williams,
01:13:25the NXT North American Champion, Carmelo Hayes.
01:13:33Is Carmelo Hayes here?
01:13:36Solo Seko?
01:13:37No, I'm just gonna- Okay.
01:13:39Solo Seko is as tough as they come, but Melo worries about nobody.
01:13:44In fact, the only thing he's worried about is the prestige of the North American Championship.
01:13:48Back in the main event, where it belongs, thanks to Melo.
01:13:53And the opponent, Solo, Sekoa!
01:13:59Sekoa said there was no fear in his eyes.
01:14:02Certainly does not look scared of Waller, Williams, and Hayes.
01:14:07Well, he should be. We all saw what happened earlier this evening.
01:14:11He got stomped by that trio.
01:14:14Listen, as bad as I want to kick you two asses right now,
01:14:19I brought somebody with me that could feel the same way.
01:14:35He certainly found himself quite the ally.
01:14:40That is a game changer.
01:14:51Shocked us earlier tonight with his return.
01:14:54And right off the roof, here we go.
01:14:59Correct me if I'm on.
01:15:01Apollo Crews has to be his first match in NXT since 2016.
01:15:05Wow.
01:15:07Welcome home Apollo Crews.
01:15:09And look, Solo, Sekoa is fired up for good reason.
01:15:13This matchup hasn't even officially begun yet.
01:15:15We're free trying to get some order.
01:15:28Waller and Hayes trying to regroup.
01:15:35Oh, yeah. Let's start this way.
01:15:38Sekoa and Hayes.
01:15:41Don't get it.
01:15:43Big Joe's- No, he is scared.
01:15:45No, this is strategic, very smart move on that way.
01:15:49And Waller, in the matchup, and that's this for Grayson Waller.
01:15:53Is he in need of a main event victory?
01:15:56Well, Grayson Waller of late has been on a string of L's.
01:16:00That wasn't smart.
01:16:01The only wins he's seen recently have been the ones Tiffany Stratton has been scoring.
01:16:05Well, she scored a big L earlier tonight.
01:16:07His tag was made.
01:16:09And Apollo Crews is legal.
01:16:12And look at Crews.
01:16:13Oh, he said earlier tonight in his shocking return, he missed the energy.
01:16:17He loves NXT.
01:16:19He loves NXT.
01:16:19He loves the NXT universe.
01:16:20And the former Intercontinental United States Champion showcasing his skill.
01:16:25The man is a freak performer.
01:16:37Put him down, will you, come on.
01:16:47Ridiculous, what a freak before my great list of accomplishments is a rare breed.
01:16:53Combined strength, high flying.
01:16:59He certainly has and has made a tag into Sokoa and Sokoa is every right by the way to
01:17:05be enraged towards Carmelo Hayes.
01:17:07Why?
01:17:08Cuz he has next.
01:17:09This is a big, the whole I got next thing is over.
01:17:13He had next when it was a different champ, everything resets.
01:17:17One of the new champs is in tag.
01:17:19Into the cover for Sokoa and Waller.
01:17:22Hey, you said pretty deadly shoved the first crack at the crease.
01:17:26Pretty deadly to the former champs, Solo Sokoa is not, that is a big difference.
01:17:30Hard luck Solo Sokoa.
01:17:31So then you agree that Hayes' first defense should be against Cameron Grimes.
01:17:35No. Is that what you're saying?
01:17:36Against the former champion.
01:17:37I didn't say, I don't make the matches here to be clear, Big Joe.
01:17:39You're implying Grimes shouldn't get first crack.
01:17:42He didn't give Melo first crack.
01:17:44After NXT, Stan and Deliver.
01:17:46Grimes should be at the back of the line.
01:17:49Backtracking real quick here as Waller goes up and over.
01:17:51And Cruz has not realized it's Carmelo Hayes who is legal.
01:17:54But, he's that explosiveness showcasing why he calls himself a generational talent.
01:18:01And having a little bit of fun to take a look again.
01:18:04Up, around the speed, bam.
01:18:07Musculating wildly around Apollo Crews, and Apollo Crews not getting the return he was hoping for.
01:18:13Look, when it comes to Carmelo Hayes too, we saw a little run in with Tony DeAngelo.
01:18:17Should he be listening to the Don?
01:18:19We should all be listening to the Don, especially you, Vic Joseph.
01:18:22Very disrespectful earlier this evening when he was on the commentary desk.
01:18:25There is gonna be a long line of superstars waiting to get their opportunity at Carmelo Hayes.
01:18:32That much is inevitable.
01:18:34How to make sense of this relationship between Waller and Hayes, by the way.
01:18:37Is Waller, do you think, just trying to butter up the North American champion, so to speak?
01:18:42Well, Waller and Hayes do have some history together.
01:18:45They were part of the winning men's war games team this past December.
01:18:50But yeah, I'm with you, Waller always has some sort of interior motive, let's be honest.
01:18:56Well, Hayes, talking about interior motives, he's been motivated to regain that North American
01:19:02title, which he did this past Saturday at the Indian House.
01:19:05Premium alignment, covering Crews, able to kick out at one, but Hayes right back on top.
01:19:10What a feather in the cap would be for someone like Carmelo Hayes to say he was
01:19:14able to defeat someone, the caliber of Apollo Crews, a superstar who's been victorious on
01:19:18the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania.
01:19:20Yeah, he's got unfinished business here in NXT, great career already.
01:19:24Not many people win the US Championship, not many win the Intercontinental Championship.
01:19:29I did it five times, but don't go on about it.
01:19:31Crews has an itch, he wants to scratch, speaks volumes after all he's done.
01:19:36He's still desperate to win gold here in NXT 3.0.
01:19:39I'm sure you can feel it for Crews, you'd love to shed 40 pounds and
01:19:42give him a crack at the Intercontinental title.
01:19:43Shed 40 pounds?
01:19:44Are you kidding?
01:19:44Man.
01:19:46And you won't be my next opponent, I still have one bullhunter left in me.
01:19:49Well, right now Crews, I mean, Diggie makes a tag.
01:19:54Then comes Sokoa, and Sokoa has been on a mission all night long.
01:19:59Extra aggression in the eyes of Sokoa, with Waller in his sights.
01:20:09Full blow has the ring to himself.
01:20:14Sokoa and Crews have made the duo tonight, and Apollo Crews wiping out the field.
01:20:21Boom is the second of the action.
01:20:26Two on one handicap match, uh-uh, Sokoa Crews rolling.
01:20:36Back live on NXT, we have said we would feel the fallout of In Your House.
01:20:40And how about Apollo Crews returning tonight?
01:20:43First had a face to face with Braun Breaker, and now is in our main event.
01:20:46Man, I got goosebumps when he was in there with Braun Breaker.
01:20:50The fans here were on their feet, sign me up right now.
01:20:52I've got my fingers crossed we saw that matchup at some point.
01:20:55Wait a minute, Sokoa just launched Waller, and
01:20:58I think Waller inadvertently tagged in Carmella Hayes.
01:21:01Uh-oh.
01:21:02Uh-oh.
01:21:04And Hayes can't duck solo Sokoa any longer.
01:21:08Certainly seems to have been avoiding him thus far in this matchup.
01:21:12No escape now.
01:21:16Sokoa has been waiting patiently to get his hands on Carmella Hayes.
01:21:23Hayes told Sokoa, you don't have next.
01:21:25That was with the previous champion, and Waller just saved the champion.
01:21:30Oh, Paul Drake Williams.
01:21:32Paid for his bad judgment.
01:21:34And boom.
01:21:36Carmella Hayes flying through the air, and Hayes was referred to as the sun earlier tonight.
01:21:42Because everything in NXT revolves around him.
01:21:45Right now it certainly does, including the body and the frame of Solo Sokoa.
01:21:50And in comes Grayson Waller.
01:21:51And what issues does Grayson Waller have with Solo Sokoa?
01:21:56And even sticking his nose in this matchup.
01:21:58Grayson Waller does not need an excuse to get involved in the main event matchup.
01:22:02You know for a fact he wants that spotlight, any chance he gets, if he's got a bright spotlight, and
01:22:07a chance to go viral.
01:22:09Grayson Waller is all over it like a wrap.
01:22:12Now this two-on-one assault, as we see this team sort of chilling, and again, it was Waller and
01:22:20Sokoa, or excuse me, Waller and Hayes who thought this was gonna be two-on-one against Solo Sokoa.
01:22:25That was until Apollo Crews reemerged a nice takedown from Waller.
01:22:30They only got more than they bargained for.
01:22:32However, with that being said, they rode out that early storm and taking full control.
01:22:36That's how good Waller and Hayes happen to be.
01:22:41And Waller flying across the ring to put Sokoa away here tonight, and a near fall.
01:22:48Sokoa is best effort to get out of the way of this leaping elbow we see time and time again.
01:22:53But boom, just enough on it to catch Sokoa close to a hit.
01:22:58He's able to keep Sokoa down.
01:23:01And this night started with Carmelo Hayes floating, and then he recaptured the A Championship on Saturday.
01:23:09It was followed by the champion telling Solo Sokoa he does not have next.
01:23:15Solo Sokoa was tough as they come, buying himself an opportunity for a tag here, and he's in the worst
01:23:20world.
01:23:21Oh, this has to be his moment.
01:23:23And Sokoa, oh, just got caught by Hayes.
01:23:27And again, far away from his tag team partner, the returning Apollo Crews from Monday Night Raw.
01:23:34Coming to even the odds for Solo Sokoa, but like them or not, Waller and Hayes have worked well as
01:23:41a team tonight.
01:23:41Well oiled machine, and we've seen it before, I mentioned the men's war games match it back in December.
01:23:47They were like a fluid team back then, picked up where they left off.
01:23:51Look at the strikes from Waller grinding down Sokoa, referee in great position right now.
01:23:56Shoulders are down, Sokoa has to get that left shoulder up barely, and you can hear the NXT Universe now
01:24:00rallying behind Solo Sokoa.
01:24:03Trying to fire up the street champion, and now trying to transition into a crossface, and
01:24:10his submission is locked in.
01:24:11Solo Sokoa went from 0 to 100 in double quick time here in NXT, but
01:24:16he's hitting a brick wall tonight, and it's starting to look bleak.
01:24:20Williams trying to coach up Waller a little bit.
01:24:22You hear Cruz, you can see Cruz trying to fire up his tag team partner.
01:24:25Sokoa trying to negotiate his way, and does get to the bottom, bro.
01:24:30No one more durable than Solo Sokoa, but
01:24:33if you can't get that tag to Apollo Crews, it's academic.
01:24:38Well, you see, the American champion saying it's over, we gotta end this.
01:24:42Certainly close.
01:24:49NXT Universe showcasing their disdain for
01:24:52Grayson Waller, and the arrogant Aussie just peppered Sokoa.
01:24:56That's Dan the guy myself, but I will say he's one hell of a fighter in that ring.
01:25:00Well, speaking of fighting, Sokoa trying to fight his way free.
01:25:05Sokoa desperately needs to make a tag to Apollo Crews.
01:25:09Sokoa trying, oh, well, he just got wiped out.
01:25:13Waller got taken down, and now it runs Apollo Crews, and
01:25:17this has been a much different Apollo Crews than we've seen recently in the WWE.
01:25:22We got in there this evening, the man is motivated.
01:25:31NXT Universe loving seeing Apollo Crews back in NXT.
01:25:37You mentioned being motivated.
01:25:39Crews said he's back for unfinished business.
01:25:46And there's an athleticism.
01:25:48And I've never faced anybody like Apollo Crews in my entire career.
01:25:54Strength, power, high flying ability, the man's got it all.
01:25:58Standing moonsault into the cover.
01:26:01And Hayes just breaks up the camera.
01:26:03Championship timing, that's why he's the North American champion.
01:26:07That's why he's the A champ.
01:26:08Who said he missed the energy of NXT?
01:26:11And we can feel the energy right here where we're sitting,
01:26:15Barrett, as now Sokoa has locked eyes with Hayes.
01:26:18Yeah, a rather negative energy between these two.
01:26:21Something's brewing.
01:26:26This indeed is awesome.
01:26:28Hayes just got caught.
01:26:31And now both men spill into the outside, right at the feet of Tripp Williams.
01:26:36But we gotta remember it's Apollo Crews who is legal for his team,
01:26:40along with Grayson Waller.
01:26:42Cheap shot by Waller, here's the setup.
01:26:44Waller got caught.
01:26:45Too powerful.
01:26:46Waller got dropped.
01:26:48Ludicrous.
01:26:49One, two, three.
01:26:51Welcome back to NXT, Apollo Crews.
01:26:55Here are your winners, Solo Sokoa and Apollo Crews.
01:27:02I can only imagine what is going through the heart of Apollo Crews.
01:27:10Where's his emotions on his sleeve, standing tall with Solo Sokoa.
01:27:15Let's go back to some of the action, including the closing moments.
01:27:17This is something we've seen from Grayson Waller time and time again.
01:27:21He did not count on the strength, the power, the quickness of that man,
01:27:25Apollo Crews, catching him in there, driving him down to the mat,
01:27:29and getting the W.
01:27:31Here are your winners.
01:27:33Standing tall tonight.
01:27:36Sokoa proven he is worthy of a North American title opportunity.
01:27:40Crews is back in NXT.
01:27:42Expect the unexpected Tuesday nights here on USA.
01:27:45Come back 1989 on USA.
01:27:45Let's go.
01:27:46We're on top of USA.
