00:04:37I love y'all.
00:04:38And I still never got a shot at the NXT Women's Championship.
00:04:42I'm constantly overlooked for people like you.
00:04:45And you don't see me crying.
00:04:47Meanwhile, you get chance after chance and you fumbled it.
00:04:50Yeah, you always find a way to make yourself a victim.
00:04:53It's actually pathetic.
00:04:58No!
00:04:59No!
00:05:00No!
00:05:00No!
00:05:01No!

00:05:09No!
00:05:10No!
00:05:11No!
00:05:12No!
00:05:18No!
00:05:19These moments in NXT are fleeting.
00:05:22There is a power vacuum at the very top of the card.
00:05:25You have to grab it.
00:05:27There is a changing of the guard moment.
00:05:29Who's going to be the next Trick Williams?
00:05:30Who's going to be the next Oba Fermi?
00:05:32Who's going to be the next Rhea Bloody Ripley?
00:05:34We might find out tonight, Big.
00:05:36Well, we're getting set for our fourth championship match of the night next.
00:05:59The challenger, very confident, heading into this championship clash.
00:06:04John Cena says goodbye.
00:06:06Fan favorite returns, and the next generation of superstars rise to the occasion.
00:06:11WWE Unreal takes viewers inside WWE's biggest season yet, heading into WrestleMania 42.
00:06:17WWE Unreal Season 3 premieres July 21st on Netflix.
00:06:26Can Tavion Heights finally achieve championship success?
00:06:43To do so, he must defeat this man, a man he knows very well.
00:06:47Now, Miles Bourne close to passing Dominic Mysterio for the 10th longest reign of a North American champion here in
00:06:56NXT.
00:06:57This is the fifth time this very championship has been defended at this historic event.
00:07:05And Miles Bourne has been proving doubters wrong his entire life.
00:07:10Can he continue to ride the wave of momentum, or will Tavion Heights finally reach that championship success he has
00:07:21been fighting for day in and day out since his arrival to the Performance Center?
00:07:26Let's not waste any more time.
00:07:28Let's go up to our ring announcer, Mike Rowe.
00:07:32The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT North American Championship.
00:07:42The NXT North American Championship.
00:07:45Introducing the challenger from Fountain, Colorado, weighing in at 260 pounds, Tavion Heights.
00:07:57I'm about to show you exactly who I am.
00:08:00And his opponents from Wilmington, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds.
00:08:05But he is the NXT North American Champion, Miles Bourne!
00:08:15Come on, baby!
00:08:16Let's go!
00:08:18Both these men ready to do battle.
00:08:20I want to go back to Tavion Heights for a moment, who has not taken his eyes off of Miles
00:08:24Bourne.
00:08:24This is Heights' first premium live event since No Mercy of last year.
00:08:28It just goes to show you, Wade, how truly hard it is to break through something you can certainly speak
00:08:35about.
00:08:36Yeah, so the climb, especially at this level in NXT, is never linear.
00:08:40You think, oh great, I've had my first PLE match.
00:08:43Maybe I've got a couple of wins here and there.
00:08:45It doesn't mean you're going to be guaranteed to be on every single PLE.
00:08:48You've got to pick your moments, and when you get them, you have to convert them.
00:08:52And this is not going to be easy for either man tonight.
00:08:55Spirit of competition certainly at a high point between these two.
00:08:58Third time, these two have gone one-on-one.
00:09:00For the record, Miles Bourne has won both of those.
00:09:03How does that weigh on each competitor?
00:09:06Well, nobody is owed a win in this game, but for somebody like Tavion Heights, you lose.
00:09:12You go 0-3 against the competitor, you simply have to face facts that at this stage in your career,
00:09:18and for both men, it's still the early stages of their career, he is just the better man.
00:09:22Really imperative that Heights gets the win tonight.
00:09:25I don't know if Miles is going to succeed trying to out-wrestle Heights.
00:09:30Calls himself the Olympic kid, representing Team USA at the 2020 Summer Olympics,
00:09:35a gold medalist at the Pan-American Championships in the same year.
00:09:39And certainly this is going to be right up Heights' alley, a peak performer growing week in and week out,
00:09:45a five-tool player, if you will.
00:09:47And Miles Bourne trying to switch things up here for a moment, and Heights just holding on.
00:09:51Well, Heights has it all.
00:09:52What he hasn't had yet is that big career win that puts him on the map.
00:09:57He is one breakout win away from being a top-tier NXT star, and this is the win.
00:10:04If he can get this done, if he can grab gold from someone as accomplished as Miles Bourne,
00:10:10then yeah, put Tavion Heights on the map for good.
00:10:14Two biggest crossover athletes still to come for the NXT Women's Championship.
00:10:17It is our main event.
00:10:19There's now both men getting a little bit gritty, getting a little bit nasty in the center of the ring.
00:10:27Well, there's that brotherhood, that respect that has turned antagonistic.
00:10:32Nice job by Miles Bourne, great core strength, trying to get a backslide, quickly blocked, though, by Heights.
00:10:37Man, I'm a massive fan of Miles Bourne.
00:10:38I have been from the day I met him.
00:10:40Oh, oh, oh, oh, backslide this time.
00:10:42Rolling right through his Heights, right back to his feet.
00:10:44Referee, get the hell out of the way.
00:10:45When it comes to Miles Bourne, you might.
00:10:48Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:10:50You say, Miles Bourne, you might meet people bigger, you might meet people nastier,
00:10:54you simply won't meet anybody who can outwork Miles Bourne.
00:10:58Let's take another look at this, though, because, I mean,
00:11:00a little head-to-head, completely unintentional from both men, and both men are now rocked.
00:11:05That little double noggin knocker, so to speak, and a dropkick taking Heights all the way to the outside,
00:11:10right here in front of us, and the action's starting to spill out, and look,
00:11:13sometimes brothers fight the most.
00:11:15Yeah, Bourne's got culpins here, too, right up.
00:11:17Is that no game?
00:11:17Is that no game?
00:11:18Tensions rising for the North American title.
00:11:22You don't have a title, you don't have a title, you don't have a title.
00:11:24You ain't no-
00:11:37Does it surprise you, Barrett, that we got a clean break between these two?
00:11:41Well, it doesn't surprise me, because there is respect, there is love for one another, however,
00:11:46they are two alpha dogs chasing the same bone, and it'd be interesting to see if that respect
00:11:52is maintained as we start to get towards the deeper waters of this one.
00:11:59Oh, man.
00:12:00Pace starting to quicken the smack talk, picking up, and look at that takedown, and quickly,
00:12:05though, right back to the mat, floating right over into a cover, and again, I don't know if
00:12:08the strategy of Miles Bourne to want to try to outwrestle an Olympian is the strategy.
00:12:14Well, I think it's an ego thing, and obviously they've trained a ton together, and you have to think
00:12:18that Miles Bourne knows exactly what Tavion Heights has got in his locker when it comes to
00:12:24wrestling, and feels today that he can put a statement wink down by outwrestling this genius
00:12:29level wrestler that is Tavion Heights.
00:12:31Oh, Miles was looking for that snap power slam.
00:12:36Tavion, of course, knew what was coming as Bourne saw that kick coming in.
00:12:40Oh, that was unique from the outside to the inside for Miles Bourne.
00:12:46Fool me once, shame on you.
00:12:47You're not going to fool me twice.
00:12:48He was able to connect the second time, and a big suplex fisherman style still doesn't get
00:12:54the three as that left shoulder off the mat, but I believe Miles has now caught Tavion two times
00:13:00by surprise.
00:13:01Well, a couple of brothers who know each other inside and out, who've trained together for
00:13:05years, who know their strengths and weaknesses.
00:13:08The question is, who has the ability to change it up more and catch their brother by surprise,
00:13:14and right now you've got to say it's the champ Bourne.
00:13:17Well, it's hard to argue because Miles is certainly in control right now of the situation,
00:13:22controlling the body of Tavion at this junction.
00:13:26Great job by our official.
00:13:28What a night it has been here at the Great American Bash.
00:13:31First premium live event since Stan and Deliver, and Miles Bourne had a big moment at Stan
00:13:37and Deliver in St. Louis when he was able to retain his North American Championship.
00:13:42And for Miles Bourne, he was starting to show heights the path, so to speak.
00:13:46That goes back to when they were in the no-quarter catch crew.
00:13:48Yeah, and clearly Miles Bourne felt like he was stagnating in that group, which is why he
00:13:54stepped away and proved positive that it was the right decision is the goal that he now carries.
00:13:59And I think that has lit a little fire inside of Tavion heights.
00:14:03And I hate to say it, but the word really is jealousy or envy, I suppose.
00:14:08That heights wants what his brother has got and starts to resent, in a way,
00:14:13Miles Bourne, because he doesn't have that too.
00:14:15Well, also, I go back to Miles giving heights the blueprint, so to speak,
00:14:20was the first one to break away from the no-quarter catch crew.
00:14:23We saw Ren Sinclair earlier pop Charlie Dempsey in the jaw.
00:14:26I'm sure these two would love to do the same thing.
00:14:27It's from behind, shoulders down.
00:14:29And a kick out from the challenger champion getting right back up to a front face line.
00:14:33And again, being overpowered for the moment.
00:14:35Now literally overpowered all the way to that top rope, sitting on the turnbuckle.
00:14:39As heights now, trying to pull out all the stops.
00:14:41I mean, you might need to pull out a cheap shot at some point.
00:14:44I get it.
00:14:45Oh, God, that was ugly.
00:14:47That was really ugly.
00:14:48Nasty landing by both men.
00:14:56North American Championship hanging in the balance.
00:14:59Heights born former teammates in the no-quarter catch crew recently teamed just weeks ago.
00:15:05For two men who know each other so very well.
00:15:07And now, I think that might have been the first right hand thrown in this matchup.
00:15:12But you saw some heavy hits moments ago.
00:15:15We saw this snap power slam from Miles Bourne.
00:15:18And then this nasty landing just moments ago, which turned to complexion.
00:15:23But we just saw a right hand thrown by Tavion.
00:15:25And I think the fun and games are over now.
00:15:28As Heights charges right in.
00:15:30Big clothesline into the cover for the title.
00:15:32And a kick out.
00:15:33Yeah, been a very good clean fight so far.
00:15:36A lot of respect between these two brothers.
00:15:38But ultimately, you have to put all that aside.
00:15:41There's gold on the line.
00:15:42And not only that, a chance to progress your career forward in a serious way here tonight.
00:15:49And if it takes a punch to the jaw on your brother, apologize later.
00:15:53Buy him a box of chocolates if you have to.
00:15:55But win that goal.
00:15:57Well, there's that strength.
00:15:58Just a gut wrench toss of the champion by the challenger into the cover.
00:16:04And another near fall.
00:16:05And this goes back to what I was getting ready to ask you moments ago.
00:16:08Boom.
00:16:09And you see that slam one more time.
00:16:10What strategy would you be implementing to switch things up?
00:16:14Because again, you said it time and time again.
00:16:16They know each other so well.
00:16:18Yeah, it depends who can come up with something new.
00:16:20Get out of your own wheelhouse.
00:16:22Look, you talk a lot about the wrestling background, excuse me, of Tavion Hikes.
00:16:26These are two thoroughbred athletes.
00:16:28If Hikes has to go away from the wrestling, because that is what Bourne is bred for,
00:16:33and suck him in the mouth, then do it.
00:16:35Take this the ugly way if you have to.
00:16:38And this is exactly what Hikes is doing now.
00:16:40I really like this.
00:16:41Rapid fire elbows one after another.
00:16:44And the champion right now is certainly rocked.
00:16:46It is Hikes who is trying to become the 24th different superstar to win.
00:16:51The North American Championship.
00:16:52A title held by Solo Sokoa, Johnny Gargano, even Damian Priest.
00:16:57Yeah, and Tavion Hikes feels like the forgotten man in this situation.
00:17:01The man who's been left in the dirt for no real reason.
00:17:04But Bourne just got the opportunity for him.
00:17:07And this is how you turn it around.
00:17:08Look at that suplex.
00:17:09Is it enough for the title?
00:17:11And another kick out by the champion.
00:17:13And here's the issue for Tavion Hikes.
00:17:16He's starting to get a little frustration at this point,
00:17:18because things are simply not going as smoothly as he would like.
00:17:21He's got the upper hand, but simply Bourne is too tough to stay down.
00:17:25And take another look at this.
00:17:26Unreal.
00:17:26Unique T-Bone style suplex there.
00:17:31Incredibly impressive.
00:17:32But Bourne is one hard-wearing dude and is not lying down easy here.
00:17:36You know, you used the word just moments ago here to talk about heights.
00:17:40The word was frustration.
00:17:43Was frustrating.
00:17:43Do you get a sense there's a lot of frustration that has been built up in the
00:17:47challenger here tonight, who has continued to lock in submission after submission on the champion?
00:17:52Yeah, you don't want to come across as the bitter guy, the resentment.
00:17:56Look, there's still love between these two.
00:17:58But really, if the bitterness is coming from anywhere, it's the man who has been left behind.
00:18:02The man who doesn't have the spotlight.
00:18:04The man who doesn't have the gold.
00:18:05And that's Tavion Hikes.
00:18:07You can turn it all around tonight in a tap out or a three second pitch.
00:18:12You're starting to wonder if anything's wrong with Myles Bourne.
00:18:14You see Bourne's the color of Bourne right now.
00:18:17He's been in so many different submissions.
00:18:19It looks like he's certainly straining right now in this matchup.
00:18:23You got to wonder if maybe the air has been taken out of him,
00:18:26going back to that nasty spill just a few moments ago.
00:18:30Well, not even that.
00:18:31Earlier on in the match, it was a double head collision between the two of them.
00:18:34I guarantee you they both have cobwebs from that.
00:18:37And sometimes it's difficult to shake that off.
00:18:39And you know if anyone can, it's Myles Bourne.
00:18:41Cover off the Northern Lights.
00:18:43And a kick out.
00:18:45Bourne helped Hikes become the number one contender, by the way.
00:18:47Only for Hikes to turn around and just shout at him several weeks ago.
00:18:51Yeah, look how rugged Myles Bourne is.
00:18:54His nose.
00:18:55Oh, that was a nasty shot right to the throat by Hikes.
00:18:58And the gloves truly are off now.
00:19:00And did you notice Myles' body just almost giving out on him?
00:19:02Could have been a knockout blow.
00:19:03And Tavion following right up.
00:19:07And you've got to go low sometimes.
00:19:09You have to fight dirty.
00:19:11And Myles Bourne was not expecting this from Hikes.
00:19:14And it goes back to what we were talking about.
00:19:15Change it up.
00:19:16Throw something at your brother, at your former partner.
00:19:20This guy you've respected for so long and trained with that he's not anticipated.
00:19:24Cover for the championship and a kick out.
00:19:27Myles Bourne right now is hurting.
00:19:29The champion is wounded.
00:19:31He is an inspiration to many all over the world.
00:19:34He will never break.
00:19:36But his limits are being tested right now by Hikes.
00:19:40The same man in Hikes who knows him so well.
00:19:42Who has been just trying desperately to put gold around his waist tonight.
00:19:47May be the night.
00:19:48Yeah, seriously debilitated now is Myles Bourne.
00:19:51It's not often you can say that in a match of his.
00:19:53Such a great athlete.
00:19:55So well conditioned.
00:19:56But getting it sapped out of him now by Tavion Hikes.
00:19:59Who is in full control here.
00:20:01Rolling right through.
00:20:02Stepping forward.
00:20:03Belly to back.
00:20:04Suplex.
00:20:05Executed to perfection.
00:20:06Into the cover.
00:20:07And another near fall.
00:20:08And there really isn't much.
00:20:10Both these superstars right now are spent.
00:20:14The gas is almost on E for both.
00:20:17One will walk out champion.
00:20:41Tavion Hikes is coming with a strategy.
00:20:43He is starting to wear out.
00:20:45His former partner.
00:20:46His friend.
00:20:48The current reigning defending NXT North American champion.
00:20:52You saw Hikes in his early days inside the Performance Center here in Orlando.
00:20:56What is this man missing?
00:20:58He's only missing one thing.
00:21:00Because he has literally all the athletic tools and discipline any man could ever want.
00:21:06Power slam.
00:21:06Cover.
00:21:07And a kick out.
00:21:08The only thing Hikes is missing is that career credibility that gold will bring you.
00:21:14That a moment like this defeating a competitor like a Miles Bourne will give you.
00:21:20That spotlight will stay on you for good.
00:21:22You have that credibility that you so desire.
00:21:25But there's only one way to get it and tonight it's the hard way.
00:21:29Floating right over into another cover is the champion to retain.
00:21:32And couldn't get it done.
00:21:34And you truly believe if if Hikes wins this match there will be a.
00:21:37Almost like a weight that will come off his shoulders.
00:21:40Oh no doubt about that.
00:21:41Look this guy is he has all the tools.
00:21:44He has everything you could ever wish for.
00:21:46But now he's in his own head about am I really as good as Miles Bourne.
00:21:51The guy who I was on par with for many years.
00:21:54Well yeah you certainly are if you put him away now.
00:21:56What a shoulder breaker into the cover.
00:22:00Another near fall but Hikes right now.
00:22:03I mean that frustration starting to bubble out of the challenger.
00:22:08Well that frustration might take you to some real dark places.
00:22:11And to put away Miles Bourne tonight you might need to go to a dark place.
00:22:16That you've never had to go to before.
00:22:18So I certainly wouldn't begrudge the frustrations of Tavion Hikes right now.
00:22:23And this is something that shows you the growth of heights.
00:22:26He hits that shoulder breaker.
00:22:27And what does he do.
00:22:28He goes immediately to that same shoulder after the kick out.
00:22:33Continue to apply the pressure.
00:22:34Nice counter though and a counter for a counter.
00:22:36The knee though was blocked right into a hip toss.
00:22:38Which was countered into an arm drag.
00:22:40And another submission locked in.
00:22:42Bourne trying to hold on.
00:22:43And remember the damage that's been done to that shoulder.
00:22:46What we've seen submission style.
00:22:47What we saw with that shoulder breaker.
00:22:50And heights right now is straining.
00:22:52Trying to create separation.
00:22:54Bourne though trying to get to his belly.
00:22:55Yeah that is a superb block by Miles Bourne.
00:22:57Shoulder shoulder.
00:22:58Converted into a pin as well.
00:22:59But now that arm is extended.
00:23:01Here we go.
00:23:02Snap all tap Miles Bourne.
00:23:04Oh we're going to certainly find out truly what Miles Bourne is made of.
00:23:08And I think Miles was able to get that hand back up.
00:23:10A great job by our crew.
00:23:12Miles right now trying to hold on.
00:23:15And Tavion trying to break that grip.
00:23:17I don't care what Miles Bourne is made out of.
00:23:19His elbow is made out of sinew.
00:23:21Just like everybody else's.
00:23:22And it will snap in a heartbeat if he's not careful.
00:23:25Oh how much damage is Bourne doing to himself.
00:23:29To inflict some damage to heights.
00:23:31Any way out.
00:23:33That was the methodology and it worked.
00:23:35It's all about the North American title.
00:23:44What a match.
00:23:46What a fight between these two men.
00:23:48All for the prestigious North American Championship.
00:23:52And what a drop kick.
00:23:53Thrown by Bourne.
00:23:54Turning right back around.
00:23:55Big uppercut.
00:23:56Filing it up.
00:23:57The champion dropping the challenger.
00:23:59Center of the ring into the cover to retain his title.
00:24:02And another near fall.
00:24:04And the taste of that bounce back ability of Miles Bourne.
00:24:07That he has made his own signature here in NXT.
00:24:11And of course no one knows it better.
00:24:13Than his former training partner.
00:24:15Tavion Haidt.
00:24:16This may be slipping out of the hands of Haidt.
00:24:19He was in full control moments ago.
00:24:21Are you talking about a turning point for Haidt in his career?
00:24:23Let's talk about a turning point.
00:24:24Maybe an overhead belly to belly toss.
00:24:30And you could hear the air drive out of the lungs of Miles Bourne.
00:24:36And I'll tell you both men know each other so well.
00:24:38They both knew they were in for a real fight tonight.
00:24:41No easy wins.
00:24:42But that count is starting to climb.
00:24:44Referee at five.
00:24:45Haidt knows he's got to get Bourne back into the ring.
00:24:47The count broken at six.
00:24:48And this might be his best opportunity to finally crown himself champion.
00:24:53And that left shoulder off the mat.
00:24:55And this is crucial time now for both men.
00:24:58But especially the challenger.
00:25:00You have to be merciless here.
00:25:02Pick up the pace with everything you've got.
00:25:04And I know you are hurting inside.
00:25:06I know you're exhausted.
00:25:08But there is gold on the line.
00:25:10And a chance to majorly advance your career.
00:25:13Take it, Tavion.
00:25:14We don't see Haidt go to the top often.
00:25:16Hit that splash.
00:25:17Wasn't pretty.
00:25:19And almost, though, was able to put a championship around his waist.
00:25:24These two are so well matched.
00:25:25And that has to be what really frustrates Tavion Haidt.
00:25:28He just wants that gold so badly here.
00:25:31Back in lieu for a German suplex.
00:25:33Second time was the charm.
00:25:35Bourne right now.
00:25:36Showing you what made him a champion.
00:25:37A man who credits Ethan Page for helping him realize his potential.
00:25:42But it's Haidt who's trying to realize his.
00:25:44Here right now.
00:25:45In this moment.
00:25:46Up and oh!
00:25:47Bourne again.
00:25:48Out of nowhere.
00:25:51Bourne's reign continues.
00:25:55Here is your winner.
00:25:57And still, the NXT North American Champion,
00:26:04Myles Bourne.
00:26:06Unreal.
00:26:08Well, that was about as devastating an ending for Tavion Haidt as is possible.
00:26:14After he thrown so much the way of Myles Bourne.
00:26:18And let's face it, for the majority of the match, Tavion Haidt is in control.
00:26:22A flash born again that Tavion Haidt just couldn't see coming.
00:26:28And this has slipped away from the challenger.
00:26:31And Myles Bourne, hats off for you, sir.
00:26:34And a nice show of sportsmanship between these two.
00:26:40Tavion will take his career to new heights.
00:26:44Tonight wasn't the night, however.
00:26:46And I can feel you.
00:26:48Your heart goes out to the challenger.
00:26:50But a lot of respect goes to the man who is still champion.
00:26:59Myles Bourne, congratulations on retaining your NXT North American Championship.
00:27:05Can you tell me, how are you feeling right now?
00:27:08I'm uncomfortable, Emily.
00:27:10You know, I fought my hardest out there.
00:27:14And Tavion, you know, we push each other every day to become the best version of ourselves.
00:27:21And tonight, he pushed me to become a better champion.
00:27:26Now, I know Tavion is gonna get himself a championship.
00:27:32But unfortunately for him, it's not tonight.
00:27:36This North American Championship, the most important thing that I have.
00:27:42I've had this title for four months now.
00:27:46And it doesn't matter if you're friends or you're foe.
00:27:50This title, I'm gonna hold it for a long, long time.
00:27:58You can hear the NXT Universe.
00:28:00That man truly is an inspiration.
00:28:03Myles proving he was indeed born to be champion.
00:28:10But from one champion to another, that is our women's champion.

00:40:46at the great american bash
00:41:05here we go
00:41:08nxt women's title
00:41:10it's our main event
00:41:12of the great american bash
00:41:19of the great american bash
00:41:21said
00:41:21and
00:41:21yes
00:41:21and
00:41:28and
00:41:28so
00:41:30but
00:54:03I'm not scared of you.
00:54:03I ain't scared of you.
00:54:04I ain't scared of you shots either, but that might be changing rapidly.
00:54:07We're talking about Lola and what she has competed in, Kendall Gray.
00:54:10This is her third premium live event.
00:54:12She also was battle tested, but another arm dragged by Lola Vice coming right back in,
00:54:16champion, taking it to the challenger.
00:54:17I don't want to look ahead, but you got to be thinking in the back of Kendall Gray's mind.
00:54:21If she loses, if she comes up short, she goes way to the end of the line for the NXT
00:54:27Women's title.
00:54:28And if she doesn't, there will be a riot in the women's locker room that goes all the way to
00:54:33Robert Stone's door.
00:54:35Simply put, the women's division here in NXT is thriving right now,
00:54:39and there are too many talented women for Kendall Gray to get yet another shot.
00:54:45And as we saw in New York City, Madison Square Garden in its shadows,
00:54:51these two went back and forth, tit for tat.
00:54:54Such an evenly matched up contest that everyone's been waiting for these two to go one-on-one once more.
00:55:00And again, you're seeing that human game of chess play out here at the Great American Bash.
00:55:05Yeah, and there were some comments last week from Lola Weiss that said,
00:55:08look, Kendall, you're going to run this place one day, but you're only going to run it once I leave,
00:55:13once I choose to leave NXT.
00:55:15That is how much respect Lola Weiss has for Kendall Gray.
00:55:19But right now, simply outmoving, outmaneuvering Kendall.
00:55:23Well, right now, you also think about Lola Weiss and something she said.
00:55:27And I'll ask you, has Lola earned her place here in NXT?
00:55:31Uh-oh, hold on.
00:55:31There's Jordan and also Ren Sinclair.
00:55:35Jordan trying to run interference, trying to ruin this main event.
00:55:38Well, Ren Sinclair said she wouldn't come out of here, but you needed it.
00:55:42But that distraction could be pivotal there, right in the gut.
00:55:46And following it right up is Lola Weiss.
00:55:50In control of the match,
00:55:52and in control of the NXT Women's Division.
00:56:15Lola Weiss.
00:56:34NXT Women's Championship hanging in the balance, of course.
00:56:37Kendall Gray has had championship success.
00:56:40She was the first ever WWE Evolve Women's Champion.
00:56:44This though, a different ball game, so to speak.
00:56:46In there was someone like Lola Vice.
00:56:50Lola Vice, who is a champion here, who has competed on a number of different events.
00:56:55Who is in the Women's Royal Rumble this past year.
00:56:57Who is a double champion, holding one half of the mixed tag team titles in
00:57:02Triple A right now with Mr. Aguilera.
00:57:04Yeah, and there are levels to this game, Vic Joseph.
00:57:07You talked about a lot of events in the history of Lola Vice and Kendall Gray.
00:57:12But this is an absolute peak for both women right now.
00:57:15Shoulders down, title on the line.
00:57:17Champion able to kick out and right back up.
00:57:19And this time it's the challenger who takes control.
00:57:22And I was asking you this moments ago and
00:57:24we got interrupted by Kalani Jordan, no surprise.
00:57:28Is the pressure building internally in Lola Vice?
00:57:32Yeah, no doubt about it.
00:57:33Look, you've got to accept when you are the champion at this level, you have a giant bullseye on your
00:57:38back at all times.
00:57:39Even more so, perhaps at NXT where success leads to feet.
00:57:43Another cover, another cover, and a kick out.
00:57:45You win, you're heading off to the promised land.
00:57:48You're going to get major, major opportunities down the line with Raw and SmackDown.
00:57:51You lose, and in 12 months time, who knows where your career will end up.
00:57:56Sometimes it's not good.
00:57:58I want you to take a moment right now as the NXT universe starting to rally in this matchup.
00:58:03Another cover, another kick out.
00:58:04Describe the feeling for those watching around the world.
00:58:07The feeling of that target that grows on your back when you're a champion.
00:58:12Well, it's what you think you always want.
00:58:14I want that gold.
00:58:15You know what, for the first several weeks, it's pretty damn cool.
00:58:18Everyone wants a piece of me, including the media and, of course, the locker room.
00:58:22They want what I've got.
00:58:23I feel special.
00:58:24But after weeks and weeks and months and months of that, it grinds you down and the body starts hurting.
00:58:31The demands don't slow down.
00:58:33And the challenges never slow down either.
00:58:35When did you ever hold a title for months and months and months?
00:58:38How dare you?
00:58:39How dare you, Vic Joseph?
00:58:41And both women have the same thought process running right into each other with the NXT women's title hanging in
00:58:48the balance in this main event matchup.
00:58:50You're a piece of garbage.
00:58:52You're a piece of garbage, Vic Joseph.
00:58:55I'm going to slap you right now.
00:59:03It's all about the NXT women's title.
00:59:05This is the main event of the Great American Bash.
00:59:07Kendall Gray, the challenger, having her third crack at the title.
00:59:11Lola Vice, the champion, who has been wanting to be champion for so long.
00:59:15So proud to carry this brand wherever she goes around the world.
00:59:19Not just here, but in AAA, where she's also a champion.
00:59:22And there's that MMA fighting.
00:59:24There's that strong style kicks.
00:59:26And right now, wherever Booker T is, he's about to short circuit.
00:59:32Shake it like a Polaroid picture.
00:59:38And Lola back in for a second time.
00:59:41Gray is rocked.
00:59:42Lola Vice moments away from retaining her NXT women's title.
00:59:47God, Lola Vice is just a mix of glitz and danger in one perfect package.
00:59:53And what a performance it's been, but don't write Kendall off yet.
00:59:56Nice German suplex as well.
00:59:58And look, you have admired the evolution of Lola Vice from afar.
01:00:02Yeah, no doubt about it.
01:00:03Turned up in NXT, a hell of a striker, incredibly dangerous.
01:00:06Great reputation, but it's smoothed off a lot of rough edges.
01:00:09And now find a weakness, good luck with that.
01:00:12Charging in, and now it appears that Kendall entering that gray zone.
01:00:16Just tossing around Lola Vice, and this is a spot for Lola Vice she's not used to.
01:00:22Kendall Gray right now is being the aggressor in this matchup.
01:00:25And Lola turning it around with a German suplex of her own, keeping her hands grasped.
01:00:29Nice standing switch by Gray.
01:00:30She delivers another German suplex.
01:00:32Both women right now showing you what it means to be the women's champion on this brand.
01:00:37To follow in the footsteps of Rhea Ripley.
01:00:39To follow in the footsteps of Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Becky Lynch, and others.
01:00:43As they are leaving it all out there in this main event.
01:00:47And this is a mentally tough spot for both women to be in.
01:00:51We just saw Lola Vice absolutely peppering Kendall Gray with repeated strikes.
01:00:56But Kendall bouncing straight back with grappling offense of her own.
01:01:01Both women throwing their best, and both women have been equal to it.
01:01:05There is nothing between them here.
01:01:09And if this turns into a slugfest this late in the matchup, Wade, I think you gotta credit Lola Vice,
01:01:17right?
01:01:17You gotta back Lola every single time.
01:01:19This is not where Kendall needs to be right now.
01:01:27But that's the brilliance of Lola, she's turned into a slugfest.
01:01:30Oh, she answered right back though, did Gray, with a super kick under the jaw.
01:01:35Charging in.
01:01:36Oh!
01:01:38With all that flying momentum of Kendall Gray, just a bullseye shot from Lola.
01:01:45Right into the midsection, following up for the second time.
01:01:50And now, oh, what?
01:01:51And right in front of Lola's sister, right in front of Lola's mom, that ankle lock is cinched in.
01:01:57Kendall can't win the championship on the outside, however.
01:02:01Okay, it's carrying her momentum right there, stepping up, and flying through!
01:02:05With shades of gray, right out here, as the referee's count is up to four,
01:02:11and nobody wants to see this end in a count out.
01:02:14The NXT universe starting to rise to their feet!
01:02:17And Kendall's skull just bounced off the map, but she is refusing to be denied here.
01:02:22Grit yourself through this, show us how tough you are, be rapacious in this moment.
01:02:28Somehow able to break that count here at eight, this matchup going to continue.
01:02:33All the way to the top, oh!
01:02:35Looking for a ball to go.
01:02:36Oh, got caught, and once again, ankle lock cinched in.
01:02:45Is Lola gonna tap?
01:02:47Is Lola gonna quit?
01:02:50Center of the ring, oh, had to roll through, and right into her own ankle lock.
01:02:54Oh, absolutely stunning reversal from Lola when all hope was lost.
01:02:59Is Gray now going to tap?
01:03:02Gray trying to roll through, sit down, sit down, shifting weight, kick out.
01:03:06Gray though transitioning, trying to get that arm alive, trying to break that grip.
01:03:11If this thing gets extended, we might have a new champion, a new face of the brand here,
01:03:15but denied again.
01:03:17There's that MMA background of Lola Weiss.
01:03:19Now she's also looking for an arm bar, and Kendall Gray implementing the same strategy
01:03:23that Lola Weiss did, trying to keep that hand grasped as tight as she can.
01:03:28Not allowing Lola to extend that arm, shift weight, shoulders down,
01:03:32head to relinquish the hole to kick out.
01:03:33Look, physically so well conditioned, but the fact that both are using their brakes this deep in the match,
01:03:39and that is a choke locked in deep.
01:03:42I'm trying to see right now.
01:03:43I don't necessarily know if Kendall has any sort of grip breakage,
01:03:46trying to roll through, shoulders down.
01:03:48And now it's Kendall going into a submission.
01:03:50My God, this is absolutely ridiculous.
01:03:52We're making choke locked in, hole for hole, move for move, reversal for reversal.
01:03:57Who's gonna claim the gold here?
01:03:59So many smooth transitions between these two women that are indeed showing you
01:04:03what they are capable of, but that will stop anybody in their tracks going right for the throat.
01:04:07When you're locked in deep in a choke, whatever it takes.
01:04:11And both women surely dragging now, but no.
01:04:14The firefight continues.
01:04:15Wow.
01:04:17High risk, no reward.
01:04:19Will that risk pay off?
01:04:20That could be the knockout blow.
01:04:22Kick to the temple cover and another kick out, and that was close.
01:04:28But Lola's been here before.
01:04:30Goes right into another submission, locking in that guillotine.
01:04:33Well, locked in deep.
01:04:34The Hunts are in too, and it's either a tap out or a pass out here for Kendall Gray,
01:04:38who has been superb.
01:04:40Wait up.
01:04:41Whoa, whoa, remember in New York City?
01:04:42There's that Northern Lights.
01:04:44This is how it ended in New York was the pin.
01:04:47And Lola will not be fooled again.
01:04:49Goes right in now, looking for a triangle.
01:04:52And I don't know if it's cinched in perfectly yet, but now she's got it locked in.
01:04:56And she is squeezing the championship light.
01:04:59Act of desperation and an ear fall.
01:05:01Well, Kendall Gray is like a bloody magician here.
01:05:04She keeps figuring out the process.
01:05:06Oh, Big Elbow.
01:05:08Double KO.
01:05:11Double kick, double pin, double kick out.
01:05:19Take another look.
01:05:21That back fist one, Lola the title.
01:05:23That elbow, I don't even want to say it was inadvertent.
01:05:26It's just what happened.
01:05:28And then both women present to mind and somehow kicking out.
01:05:38This is why NXT has the best women's division in the world.
01:05:42These two, the focal point.
01:05:43These two, center stage.
01:05:44These two with their name in the marquee.
01:05:46Main event of Great American Bash.
01:05:48Exchanging right now.
01:05:49Shot after shot.
01:05:50Blow after blow.
01:05:51Elbow doesn't connect.
01:05:52Right back in.
01:05:53Back fist doesn't connect.
01:05:54From the middle.
01:05:55Bam!
01:05:55Another shades of gray!
01:05:56One, two, three, three.
01:05:59And Gray wins gold!
01:06:04Here is your winner and the new NXT Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!
01:06:27Oh man, from an athletic standpoint, the caliber of both women off the charts.
01:06:37But Kendall Gray, industrial levels of willpower and drive have created a new champ.
01:06:46This was the moment.
01:06:47It looked like a double KO, a double counter, maybe even a double pin.
01:06:52But both women instinctively just in the nick of time kicking out.
01:06:58And then you see this exchange.
01:06:59Lola Vice with Duck won too many.
01:07:02Bam!
01:07:03Look for that back fist.
01:07:04Was countered and out of nowhere, a springboard, shades of gray, third time the charm.
01:07:13As there comes Ren Sinclair to celebrate as both these women walked into tonight with one dream.
01:07:21That dream was to both walk out champion.
01:07:26You see, obviously, the champion, former champion accepting what just happened.
01:07:34Lola Vice put her heart on the line.
01:07:37What a fight!
01:07:38What a match!
01:07:40What a night!
01:07:41That was a main event of extreme distinction at any level.
01:07:47And the future is so bright for Lola Vice.
01:07:49And indeed, of course, the new champ, Kendall Gray.
01:07:53And on a night, we celebrate tradition of the past.
01:07:57Tony D'Angelo, Miles Born, and Kendall Gray prove that the future is now here on NXT.
01:08:06Let's go!
