00:00bubble out of the challenger well that frustration might take you to some real dark places and to
00:06put away miles born tonight you might need to go to a dark place that you've never had to go
00:12to
00:12before so i certainly wouldn't begrudge the frustrations of tavion heights right now and
00:18this is something that shows you the growth of heights he hits that shoulder breaker and what
00:22does he do he goes immediately to that same shoulder after the kickout continue to apply
00:28the pressure nice counter though and a counter for a counter the knee though was blocked right into a
00:32hip toss which was countered into an arm drag and another submission locked in born trying to hold
00:37on and remember the damage that's been done to that shoulder what we've seen submission style what we saw
00:43with that shoulder breaker and heights right now is straining trying to create separation born though
00:48trying to get to his belly yeah that is a superb block by miles on the shoulder converted into a
00:53pin as well but now that arm is extended here we go snap all tap miles born oh we're going
00:59to
00:59certainly find out truly what miles born is made of and i think miles was able to get that hand
01:04back up
01:05a great job by our crew miles right now trying to hold on and tavion trying to break that grip
01:11i don't care
01:12what miles born is made out of his elbow is made out of sinew just like everybody else's and it
01:17will
01:17snap in a heartbeat if he's not careful oh how much damage is born doing it to himself to inflict
01:24some damage to heights any way out that was the methodology and it worked it's all about the north
01:31american title
01:38what a match what a fight between these two men all for the prestigious north american championship and what
01:46a drop kick thrown by born turning right back around big uppercut fouling up the champion dropping the
01:53challenger center of the ring into the cover to retain his title on another near fall and the taste of
01:59that
01:59bounce back ability of miles born that he has made his own signature here in nxt and of course
02:06no one knows it better than his former training partner tavion heights who this may be slipping out
02:12the hands of heights who was in full control moments ago are we talking about a turning point for heights
02:17in his career let's talk about a turning point maybe an overhead belly to belly toss
02:24and you could hear the air drive out of the lungs of miles born i'll tell you both men know
02:32each other
02:32so well they both knew they're in for a real fight tonight no easy wins but that count is starting
02:38to
02:38climb referee at five heights knows he's got to get born back to the ring the count broken at six
02:43and this might be his best opportunity to finally crown himself champion and that left shoulder off the
02:50mat and this is crucial time now for both men but especially the challenger you have to be merciless here
02:56pick up the pace with everything you've got and i know you are hurting inside i know you're exhausted but
03:03there is gold on the line and a chance to majorly advance your career take it tavion we don't see
03:09heights go to
03:10the top often hit that splash wasn't pretty and almost though was able to put a championship around
03:17his waist these two are so well matched and that has to be what really frustrates tavion heights he
03:23just wants that gold so badly here back in looking for a german suplex second time was the charm born
03:30right now showing you what made him a champion a man who credits ethan page for helping him realize his
03:36potential but it's heights who's trying to realize his here right now in this moment up and oh
03:42born again out of nowhere board's reign continues
03:50here is your winner and still the nxt north american champion mario
03:58born unreal well that was about as devastating an ending for tavion heights as is possible after he
04:09thrown so much the way of miles born and let's face it for the majority of the match tavion heights
04:16is in
04:16control a flash born again but tavion i just couldn't see coming and this has slipped away from the
04:24challenger and the challenger and miles born hats off for you sir and a nice show of sportsmanship between
04:32these two tavion will take his career to new heights tonight wasn't the night however
04:42your heart goes out to the challenger but a lot of respect goes to the man who is still champion

16:47felt here tonight at the great american bash
16:49i'm gonna say
16:54oh
16:54oh
17:06on vida and slides i have five
17:10Zarya Blight, North American champion.
17:14The champion, Tony D'Angelo.
17:15It's a very big pop-up.
17:16It's still behind the top of the German Super X-Slam.
17:20Dino gets back to the feet.
17:22Loa Ferra, Jokeslam!
17:25One, two, three!
17:28And now, Tony has a huge advantage.
17:32He's a big one.
17:33And still, the NXT champion!
17:39Sounds from around the world as we are live tonight in Orlando
17:43inside the Performance Center.
17:45And what a night it has been thus far for our champions.
17:48They are four for four here at the Great American Bash
17:53as we are seconds away from our main event here live tonight.
18:08Ladies and gentlemen, it's now time for your main event!
18:39A lot has been made about the number of championship opportunities this woman has had.
18:45As you see, her family is here live tonight.
18:47But, Wade, she has earned each and every one.
18:52Yeah, you earn your chance.
18:54Then, in my book, you deserve your shot.
18:57But, with that being said, sooner or later, you've got to accept that if you can't convert those opportunities,
19:05maybe you don't belong in the championship conversations.
19:09There are going to be tough questions for Kendall Gray if she does not get it done tonight.
19:16We saw a deep breath from the challenger before she walked into the ring for Kendall Gray.
19:20This is her third chance at the NXT Women's Championship.
19:26One, two, three, four.
19:39These two competed in a no contest in New York.
19:42The wrestling world, Wade, has been waiting for this rematch.
19:47But we talk about Kendall's family, Lola Bites' family is here as well.
19:51That is Lola's mother, ten years cancer-free today.
19:56It has been a very emotional day for our champion as she tries to compose herself before heading into this
20:04main event.
20:05Yeah, and what a main event star.
20:08She has turned herself into this place just enraptured with Lola Bites,
20:14a woman who is quite simply an ass-kicking machine ready to dominate NXT for many, many more months to
20:23come.
20:24Wearing the pinstripes of the New York Yankees, she might need a home run knockout blow to knock out the
20:31challenger.
20:32Let's go up to our ring announcer, Mike Roan.
20:36The following contest scheduled for one fall.
20:39One fall!
20:40It's for the NXT Women's Championship!
20:49Introducing the challenger from Las Vegas, Nevada, Kendall Gray!
21:02And her opponent, from Miami, Florida, she is one half of a triple-A mixed tag.
21:10And the NXT Women's Champion, Lola Bites!
21:22Nice!
21:23Third straight year, the women have main evented at least one night of the Great American Bash.
21:28You go back to 2024, Roxanne Perez successfully defended the women's title on night one.
21:34Fatal influence was in the main event against Blake Monroe and Jordan Grace last year.
21:39And we are here right now.
21:41The two biggest crossover athletes in NXT history.
21:53And here we go, we've locked up in Wade.
21:55What does it tell you that these two were chosen by Shawn Michaels to main event, the first premium live
22:00event on broadcast television?
22:02Oh man, what a pat on the back for these two.
22:05That is a rubber stamping from top brass that says, we know you two are the future.
22:11We know you two can be the face of this brand.
22:15Go out there and take this spotlight for good.
22:19Start looking around at the matchup and we talked about it earlier with Miles Bourne and Heights as well.
22:25You start to break these two down.
22:26Whose style do you favor?
22:28Grey's mat technical ability or Vice's MMA and striking abilities?
22:33It's all a little old school.
22:34I'm always gonna go with the grappler because the grappler can dominate the body in ways.
22:39Trying to lock it in right now.
22:41Lola trying to get that arm extended.
22:43Kendall doing her best job to fight free and does.
22:45Yeah, as I was saying, the grappler can control the body and control the fight.
22:48The problem is we know that Lola Vice is just one knockout shot away from winning this thing.
22:55You simply at no point in a fight can ever write off Lola Vice and that is why she's so
23:00damn good to watch.
23:01No Sinclair, Grey's biggest supporter.
23:04Ironically, both those women faced each other at this event in 2024.
23:07Both could leave tonight champions as Sinclair was able to successfully defend her speed championship.
23:13Earlier tonight, nice takedown right into a cover, shoulders down and a kick out.
23:18Man, two women who, as you've mentioned, crossover stars from other combat disciplines
23:22who have simply taken to this like ducks to water.
23:26And this has been spectacular from the work go.
23:29Kendall Grey earned this chance by defeating Kalani Jordan.
23:33The same Jordan who submitted Lola Vice believes this was her main event.
23:37Kendall believes that she earned this, but Kalani believes this was her title match.
23:42That's also the same Kalani Jordan who had to be separated from Tatum Paxley earlier tonight.
23:48Yeah, and I'll tell you right now, I've watched many, many eras of developmental systems in WWE
23:54and just when I think the women's level has picked these two to put it even further.
23:59Nice job by Kendall right now trying to control the body of Lola Vice.
24:03And Lola, you gotta imagine the emotional toll.
24:06We talk about her mother who's sitting here ringside to the right,
24:08but she defended this title 24 hours ago in AAA, a historic match.
24:13And you have to imagine the travel, the media, two brands that the-
24:16Oh jeez!
24:17Building!
24:18But that might have been a knockout blow, following it up right into the spine.
24:22And now Lola is focused.
24:24She's squared up and she's looking to knock out Kendall Grey.
24:27Oh, this is the moment for Lola Vice.
24:30Got that opening and you know she exploits it every time you mention the fact that she was competing in
24:34AAA yesterday.
24:36Showing no signs of tiredness, exhaustion, or lack of ring sharpness whatsoever.
24:41That is impressive and that will hold her in good stead, regardless of how this match turns out.
24:46I don't know if Kendall Grey should try to throw hands with Lola Vice.
24:49Well, trying to match Lola Vice is perhaps a fool's error, but it seems to be working for Kendall Grey.
24:55And that is a mental shot towards Vice saying, hey, I ain't scared of you.
24:59I ain't scared of your shots either, but that might be changing rapidly.
25:02We talk about Lola and what she has competed in.
25:06Kendall Grey, this is her third premium live event.
25:08She also was battle tested, but another arm dragged by Lola Vice.
25:11Coming right back in, champion, taking it to the challenger.
25:13I don't wanna look ahead, but you gotta be thinking in the back of Kendall Grey's mind.
25:17If she loses, if she comes up short, she goes way to the end of the line for the NXT
25:23Women's title.
25:24And if she doesn't, there will be a riot in the women's locker room that goes all the way to
25:29Robert Stone's door.
25:30But simply put, the women's division here in NXT is thriving right now.
25:35And there are too many talented women for Kendall Grey to get yet another shot.
25:41And as we saw in New York City, Madison Square Garden in its shadows.
25:46These two went back and forth, tit for tat.
25:50Such an evenly matched up contest that everyone's been waiting for these two to go one-on-one once more.
25:56And again, you're seeing that human game of chess play out here at the Great American Bash.
26:01Yeah, and there were some comments last week from Lola Vice that said,
26:04Look, Kendall, you're gonna run this place one day, but you're only gonna run it once I leave, once I
26:09choose to leave NXT.
26:11That is how much respect Lola Vice has for Kendall Grey.
26:15But right now, simply outmaneuvering Kendall.
26:19Well, right now, you also think about Lola Vice and something she said.
26:22And I'll ask you, has Lola earned her place here in NXT?
26:27Uh-oh, hold on.
26:28There's Jordan, and also Ren Sinclair.
26:31Jordan trying to run interference, trying to ruin this main event.
26:34Well, Ren Sinclair said she wouldn't come out here, but you needed it.
26:38But that distraction could be pivotal there, right in the gut.
26:42And following it right up is Lola Vice.
26:46In control of the match, and in control of the NXT Women's Division.
27:00Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it
27:09go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
27:11Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it
27:24go!
27:24Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
27:30NXT Women's Championship hanging in the balance.
27:32Of course, Kendall Grey has had championship success.
27:35She was the first ever WWE Evolved Women's Champion.
27:39This, though, a different ballgame, so to speak.
27:42In there with someone like Lola Vice.
27:45Lola Vice, who is a champion here,
27:47who has competed on a number of different events,
27:50who is in the Women's Royal Rumble this past year,
27:53who is a double champion,
27:54holding one half of the mixed tag team titles
27:57in AAA right now with Mr. Aguilera.
28:00Yeah, and there are levels to this game, Vic Joseph.
28:03You talked about a lot of events in the history
28:05of Lola Vice and Kendall Gray,
28:07but this is an absolute peak for both women right now.
28:11Shoulders down, title on the line.
28:13Champion able to kick out and right back up,
28:15and this time it's the challenger who takes control.
28:17And I was asking you this moments ago,
28:19and we got interrupted by Kalani Jordan, no surprise.
28:23Is the pressure building internally in Lola Vice?
28:27Yeah, no doubt about it.
28:28Look, you've got to accept when you are the champion at this level,
28:31you have a giant bullseye on your back at all times,
28:35even more so perhaps at NXT where success leads to feet.
28:39Another cover, another cover, and a kick out.
28:41You win, you're heading off to the promised land.
28:43You're going to get major, major opportunities down the line
28:46with Raw and SmackDown.
28:47You lose, and in 12 months' time,
28:49who knows where your career will end up?
28:51Sometimes it's not good.
28:53I want you to take a moment right now as the NXT universe starting to rally in this matchup.
28:58Another cover, another kick out.
28:59Describe the feeling for those watching around the world.
29:03The feeling of that target that grows on your back when you're a champion.
29:07Well, it's what you think you always want.
29:10I want that gold.
29:11You know what?
29:11The first several weeks is pretty damn cool.
29:13Everyone wants a piece of me, including the media,
29:16and of course the locker room.
29:17They want what I've got.
29:18I feel special, but after weeks and weeks and months and months of that,
29:23it grinds you down, and the body starts hurting.
29:26The demands don't slow down, and the challenges never slow down either.
29:30When did you ever hold a title for months and months and months?
29:33How dare you?
29:34How dare you, Vic Joseph?
29:35And both women have the same thought process running right into each other
29:40with the NXT women's title hanging in the balance in this main event matchup.
29:45You're a piece of garbage.
29:46You're a piece of garbage, Vic Joseph.
29:49I'm going to slap you right now.
29:58It's all about the NXT women's title.
30:00This is the main event of the Great American Bash.
30:02Kendall Gray, the challenger, having her third crack at the title.
30:05Lola Vice, the champion, who has been wanting to be champion for so long,
30:09so proud to carry this brand wherever she goes around the world,
30:13not just here, but in AAA, where she's also a champion.
30:17And there's that MMA fighting.
30:19There's that strong style kicks.
30:21And right now, wherever Booker T is, he's about to short circuit.
30:26Shake it like a Polaroid picture.
30:32And Lola back in for a second time.
30:35Gray is rocked.
30:37Lola Vice, moments away from retaining her NXT women's title.
30:42Oh God, Lola Vice is just a mix of glitz and danger in one perfect package.
30:48And what a performance it's been, but don't write Kendall off yet.
30:51Nice German suplex as well.
30:52And look, you have admired the evolution of Lola Vice from afar.
30:56Yeah, no doubt about it, turned up in NXT, a hell of a striker, incredibly dangerous.
31:00Great reputation, but has smoothed off a lot of rough edges.
31:04And now, find a weakness, good luck with that.
31:07Charging in, and now it appears that Kendall entering that gray zone,
31:11just tossing around Lola Vice.
31:12And this is a spot for Lola Vice she's not used to.
31:16Kendall Gray right now is being the aggressor in this matchup.
31:19And Lola turning it around with a German suplex of her own, keeping her hands grasped.
31:23Nice standing switch by Gray, she delivers another German suplex.
31:27Both women right now showing you what it means to be the women's champion on this brand,
31:32to follow in the footsteps of Rhea Ripley, to follow in the footsteps of Charlotte Flair,
31:36Bayley, Becky Lynch, and others, as they are leaving it all out there in this main event.
31:41And this is a mentally tough spot for both women to be in.
31:45We just saw Lola Vice absolutely peppering Kendall Gray with repeated strikes,
31:50but Kendall bouncing straight back with grappling offense of her own.
31:56Both women throwing their best, and both women have been equal to it.
32:00There is nothing between them here.
32:04And if this turns into a slugfest this late in the matchup, Wade,
32:09I think you've got to credit Lola Vice, right?
32:11You've got to back Lola every single time.
32:14This is not where Kendall needs to be right now.
32:21But that's the brilliance of Lola.
32:23She's turned into a slugfest.
32:25Well, she answered right back, though, did Gray, with a super kick under the jaw.
32:29Charging in.
32:30Oh!
32:32With all that flying momentum of Kendall Gray, just a bullseye shot from Lola.
32:40Right into the midsection, following it up for the second time.
32:44And now, oh, what?
32:46And right in front of Lola's sister, right in front of Lola's mom, that ankle lock is cinched in.
32:52Kendall can't win the championship on the outside, however.
32:55It's carrying her momentum right there, stepping up, and flying through!
33:00With shades of gray, right out here, as the referee's count is up to four,
33:06and nobody wants to see this end in a countout.
33:09The NXT universe starting to rise to their feet!
33:12And Kendall's skull just bounced off the map, but she is refusing to be denied here.
33:17Bring yourself through this.
33:19Show us how tough you are.
33:20Be rapacious in this moment.
33:22Somehow able to break that count here at eight.
33:25This matchup going to continue.
33:27All the way to the top!
33:29Looking for a bullseye.
33:30Oh, got caught!
33:31And once again, ankle lock cinched in.
33:40Is Lola gonna tap?
33:42Is Lola gonna quit?
33:44Center of the ring.
33:46Oh, had to roll through.
33:47And right into her own ankle lock!
33:49Oh, absolutely stunning reversal from Lola.
33:52So when all hope was lost, is Gray now going to tap?
33:56Gray trying to roll through.
33:58Sit down, sit down!
33:59Shift and weight!
34:00Kick out!
34:00Gray though transitioning!
34:02Trying to get that arm alive!
34:04Oh, trying to break that grip!
34:05If this thing gets extended, we might have a new champ and a new face of the brand here,
34:10but denied again!
34:11There's that MMA background of Lola Weiss.
34:14Now she's also looking for an armbar in Kendall Gray,
34:16implementing the same strategy that Lola Weiss did.
34:19Trying to keep that hand harassed as tight as she can.
34:23Not allowing Lola to extend that arm, shift, weight, shoulders down,
34:26had to relinquish the hole to kick out.
34:27Look, physically so well-conditioned, but the fact that both are using their brains this deep in the match,
34:33and that is a choke locked in deep.
34:36I'm trying to see right now.
34:37I don't necessarily know if Kendall has any sort of grip breakage,
34:41trying to roll through, shoulders down.
34:43And now it's Kendall going into a submission!
34:45Oh, God, this is absolutely ridiculous.
34:47We're naked choke, locked in, hole for hole, move for move, reversal for reversal.
34:52Who's going to claim the gold here?
34:53So many smooth transitions between these two women that are indeed showing you
34:57what they are capable of, but that will stop anybody in their tracks going right for the throat.
35:01When you're locked in deep in a choke, whatever it takes,
35:05are both women surely dragging now?
35:07But no, the firefight continues.
35:10Wow!
35:11Oh, high risk, no reward.
35:13Will that risk pay off?
35:15That could be the knockout blow.
35:16Kick to the temple cover, and another kick out, and that was close.
35:22But Lola's been here before.
35:24Goes right into another submission, locking in that guillotine.
35:27Well, locked in deep.
35:28The hooks are in, too, and it's either a tap out or a pass out here for Kendall Gray,
35:33who has been superb.
35:35Wait up.
35:35Oh, whoa, remember in New York City, there's that Northern Lights.
35:38This is how it ended in New York, was the pin,
35:41and Lola will not be fooled again.
35:44Goes right in now, looking for a triangle,
35:46and I don't know if it's cinched in perfectly yet,
35:49but now she's got it locked in,
35:50and she is squeezing the championship light.
35:53Act of desperation and an ear fall.
35:56Well, Kendall Gray's like a bloody magician here.
35:58She keeps figuring out the process.
36:00Oh, big elbow!
36:02Double KO!
36:06Double kick, double pin, double kick out!
36:14Take another look.
36:15That back fist one, Lola the title.
36:18That elbow, I don't even want to say it was inadvertent.
36:20It just would happen.
36:22And then both women presence of mind and somehow kicking out.
36:32This is why NXT has the best women's division in the world.
36:36These two, the focal point.
36:38These two, center stage.
36:39These two with their name in the marquee.
36:40Main event of Great American Bash.
36:42Exchanging right now, shot after shot.
36:45Blow after blow.
36:45Elbow doesn't connect.
36:47Right back in.
36:47Back fist doesn't connect.
36:48From the middle.
36:49Bam!
36:50Another shades of gray!
36:52One, two, three!
36:54And gray wins gold!
36:56Here is your winner, and the new NXT Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!
37:21Oh, man.
37:22From an athletic standpoint, the caliber of both women, off the charts.
37:32But Kendall Gray, industrial levels of willpower and drive, have created a new jump.
37:40This was the moment.
37:41It looked like a double KO, a double counter, maybe even a double pin.
37:46But both women instinctively, just in the nick of time, kicking out.
37:52And then you'd see this exchange.
37:54Lola Weiss with Duck, one too many.
37:57Bam!
37:57Looked for that back fist.
37:59Was countered, and then out of nowhere, a springboard.
38:02Shades of gray.
38:04Third time, the charm.
38:08As there comes Ren Sinclair to celebrate, as both these women walked into tonight with one dream.
38:15That dream, that dream, that dream was to both walk out champion.
38:20You see, obviously, the champion, former champion, accepting what just happened.
38:28Lola Weiss put her heart on the line.
38:32What a fight.
38:32What a match.
38:34What a night.
38:35That was a main event of extreme distinction at any level.
38:41And the future is so bright for Lola Weiss.
38:44And indeed, of course, the new champ, Kendall Gray.
38:46And on a night, we celebrate tradition of the past.
38:51Tony D'Angelo, Miles Bourne, and Kendall Gray prove that the future is now here on NXT.
39:00Let's go!
39:04Let's go!
39:04Let's go!
39:11Let's go!
