00:00:01On the fireworks, come early tonight, welcome to NXT on the CW, presented by Progressive.

00:00:20And what a way to kick off NXT.

00:00:26Look at that man. Look at it. All up. Chiseled called, not a granite. The boy's looking good.

00:00:37Come on, man. That's the, that's the, this is the TNAL.

00:00:43Good company. Oh, that man. That man.

00:00:49Trigg Williams. Oh, yes, man. Oh, yes.

00:00:56Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the TNA World Champion, Trigg Williams.

00:01:07Oh, yeah. Still going, huh? That's right. I got good news for you.

00:01:18What do you think he'll keep his headset off all night?

00:01:24Guardian dereliction of duty. We just got started. But the announce table is about to become Trick N.A.

00:01:32That's right.

00:01:40You got a long night ahead of you. You better take a breath.

00:01:44Let's talk about it.

00:01:45Yeah, baby.

00:01:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:01:54Introducing first, representing the High Ride, wing in at 178 pounds, Wes Lee.

00:02:04Well, as the TNA World Champion gets settled in, Graves, how big of a match is this for someone like

00:02:11Wes Lee?

00:02:11Or by someone like Wes Lee, you mean somebody who feels perpetually overlooked and underrated.

00:02:17This could be a game-changing, career-altering opportunity for Wes Lee, who fully understands the assignment tonight.

00:02:24Wes Lee knows full well what is at his fingertips tonight.

00:02:28It was Wes Lee who told you, Trigg Williams, he will take care of his opponent tonight.

00:02:34Show us how you do it on the west side, though.

00:02:37Oh, Trigg, I gotta ask. I know there's a lot of history between you and Wes Lee.

00:02:40It seems like it's all water under the bridge.

00:02:42You all on the same page now?

00:02:43Man, you gotta let that go, Corey.

00:02:44All right.

00:02:46I've been accused of hanging under a grudge once in a while.

00:02:48I believe in Joe Hendry.

00:02:52I believe in Joe Hendry.

00:02:56You're in London and Paris and Tokyo.

00:02:59And his opponent, Prometta-Buscott, wing in at 252 pounds.

00:03:06I believe in Joe Hendry.

00:03:11It's a damn thing.

00:03:12Listen to this place.

00:03:16Everyone on their feet.

00:03:20For one-third of the main event at TNA Slammiversary.

00:03:26Look at this. Look at it.

00:03:36And as we get ready for this, I see Trigg snarling.

00:03:41Grace, is Hendry's aggressive nature due to things that have been said to him or about him inside that TNA

00:03:48locker room?

00:03:48Well, listen, I don't know that Joe Hendry is aggressive by nature.

00:03:51I think there's somewhere deep down inside that Hendry does his best to contain for what Hendry needs to do

00:03:57tonight.

00:03:57And going forward is let that wild side out.

00:04:00Let's not forget that wild side started to come out when he attacked you, Trigg Williams.

00:04:04He attacked you last week.

00:04:06Hold on one second, Vic.

00:04:07Corey, why is you waving your hand?

00:04:09I was stretching.

00:04:09I got a cramp.

00:04:10I apologize.

00:04:10Well, you need to fix that.

00:04:11It's a misunderstanding.

00:04:12Trigg, he was waving.

00:04:13He was waving.

00:04:15All right, now.

00:04:16Hey, Corey, did you just call Joe Hendry a little soft?

00:04:19Did I hear that?

00:04:20No.

00:04:20No, that must have been a producer in your head.

00:04:22Okay.

00:04:23I was just saying.

00:04:25Well, as we get ready to settle in here, Trigg, how are you preparing for the matchup coming up?

00:04:30TNA Slammiversary, July 20th.

00:04:32Yourself, Joe Hendry, Mike Santana for the TNA World Title.

00:04:37You do not need to be factored in the decision to lose the TNA World Title.

00:04:41I'm going to be real, Vic.

00:04:43What are they doing?

00:04:44I beat Joe Hendry.

00:04:46I beat Mike Santana.

00:04:47They need to prepare.

00:04:48Facts.

00:04:49I'm the man here.

00:04:50Is there any difference, Trigg, for you in preparation,

00:04:52knowing you're going to step across enemy lines?

00:04:55You're going into TNA territory.

00:04:56Man, I done been there before.

00:04:58Look, man, I've been doing this a long time, man.

00:05:00I've been doing this for two years.

00:05:01Let me put some respect in my name.

00:05:03Don't get hostile with Corey there, Trigg.

00:05:05Booker, I do want to ask you, if you were a TNA wrestler,

00:05:08what would you be saying to Joe Hendry?

00:05:10What would I be saying?

00:05:11You dropped the damn ball.

00:05:12You let the locker room down.

00:05:14You let everybody hit TNA down.

00:05:16That's what I would be saying.

00:05:17What would you be saying?

00:05:18What would you be saying?

00:05:19If this guy just walked away and just let everybody...

00:05:23What would you be saying?

00:05:24I'd probably just be happy to be there.

00:05:26If it doesn't like you ain't been the damn locker room,

00:05:28just that might be a lot.

00:05:30Well, it's not as if Henry hasn't tried.

00:05:32Mike Santana lost to first class.

00:05:34We saw what happened to Elijah.

00:05:36Trigg, do you care to comment on Henry's attack to you last week?

00:05:41Look, man, he a sucker.

00:05:42He a sucker.

00:05:43I mean, what type of man wants to hit a man when he ain't watching?

00:05:46Behind his back.

00:05:48Man, if you was really like that, announce yourself.

00:05:50He always popping up in appearing places.

00:05:52How about he announce himself and beat somebody up like a man?

00:05:54In other words, he need to tag you if he's going to pick up on you, right?

00:05:58You know what I'm saying?

00:05:58Tag you in.

00:05:59I feel you, dog.

00:06:00Let's talk about it.

00:06:01Right now, Joe Hendry trying to out-muscle Wes Lee.

00:06:04Lee, though, trying his best to counter the strength

00:06:07and doing it with his athleticism.

00:06:09What a way to kick off.

00:06:10NXT.

00:06:12It's holiday week.

00:06:13Oh!

00:06:14Big kick.

00:06:15Beautiful there, by the way.

00:06:16And charging right back in comes Wes Lee.

00:06:19And Grace, hasn't Lee been someone that has stood out to you over his time here in NXT?

00:06:25No doubt about it.

00:06:26None more so than in this moment.

00:06:28Drop kicking Henry into our announce desk.

00:06:30Listen, Wes Lee has been on the record multiple times about how hungry he is,

00:06:34about how he wants to be in the main event.

00:06:36He wants to be the conversation in NXT.

00:06:38Show him how you doing the west side, dog.

00:06:40Show him how you doing the west side.

00:06:42Oh, he just got back to the east side, the south side, the north side.

00:06:47His ass ain't going to the west side.

00:06:50Team go team!

00:06:52Team go team!

00:06:53Team go team!

00:06:55Back on NXT.

00:06:57Joe Hendry, Wes Lee, Trick Williams joining us on commentary.

00:07:00Trick will defend the TNA World title in a triple threat match.

00:07:03Pat TNA Slammiversary on July 20th.

00:07:06As Hendry took his eye off the ball, Wes Lee made him pay thanks to Tyson and Tyreek who are

00:07:13on the outside dressed for success.

00:07:15It wasn't as though Hendry just opted to take his eye off the ball, Vic.

00:07:18Joe realized that Tyson and Tyreek were creeping up on him.

00:07:20Joe's basically one against three right now.

00:07:23Wes Lee disappeared, didn't he?

00:07:24He just appeared.

00:07:25Oh, he certainly just did.

00:07:26Trick, you have ruffled some feathers here in NXT.

00:07:29Right, wrong or indifferent.

00:07:30We've seen how some people have looked at you.

00:07:32In your opinion, how has the TNA locker room embraced you as your champion?

00:07:37I ain't here to make friends.

00:07:38I'm here to make money.

00:07:39If you don't like me, that's your problem.

00:07:40Whoa!

00:07:41Beautiful, beautiful.

00:07:41That was some athleticism covering a near ball.

00:07:44I asked him a question like that.

00:07:46You know the rule, checks, and championships, man.

00:07:49That's what Trick is all about.

00:07:51He's about making that green, green dollar B.

00:07:54Let's take another look at what was potentially a huge problem for Joe Hendry.

00:07:58A beautiful athleticism by Wes Lee, but not enough to finish the job just yet.

00:08:03Trick, you got to like what you're seeing right now.

00:08:05Man, I love that, man.

00:08:06That's just what we talked about.

00:08:07Take care of business, Westside.

00:08:11Had quite the stare down with NXT champion Ova Fendi a few weeks back.

00:08:16Trick Ova will have his eyes on Jasper Troy.

00:08:19Inamora tonight, winner will head to the Great American Bash in Atlanta.

00:08:23But a big pump kick from Wes Lee rocking Joe Hendry.

00:08:27Caught Hendry right under the jaw.

00:08:29Around we go.

00:08:29Look at this.

00:08:31Wes Lee wanted a satellite DDT, but Hendry put on the brakes.

00:08:35Certainly did.

00:08:36Bang!

00:08:37Suplex answering right back.

00:08:39Beautiful there by Joe Hendry.

00:08:42Textbook, baby.

00:08:42Trick, is there any concern on your side that maybe the next time you step in the ring against

00:08:46the Joe Hendry, it'll be a different competitor, a more hungry Hendry than before?

00:08:50Look, if I did it once, I'm going to do it again.

00:08:52He ain't the only one training.

00:08:53I'm working out every single day.

00:08:55I'm in the gym.

00:08:56Well, pivotal point of this matchup.

00:08:58Wes Lee told you, Trick, last week he would take care of Joe Hendry here tonight.

00:09:03But Hendry, firing back.

00:09:05Trying to keep that momentum going.

00:09:07Big clothesline.

00:09:08And Joe Hendry all fired up.

00:09:13Wow!

00:09:19Look at all he seep in the crowd.

00:09:20Look at all he seep.

00:09:21He always wanted to please the fans, man.

00:09:23That's his biggest part.

00:09:24That's why he's about 10 pounds riding right now.

00:09:27No championship around his waist.

00:09:29Am I right?

00:09:30I hear you, huh?

00:09:31I hear you, huh?

00:09:34Looking for the standing ovation.

00:09:35Always sing ugly.

00:09:36Able to counter for him.

00:09:38And answers back with a ride of his own.

00:09:41Take that with you.

00:09:42That body shot rocked Hendry.

00:09:44Let's go, Joe!

00:09:46Lee with a week in Joe Hendry.

00:09:48Hendry now hoisting up Lee.

00:09:51And look at his power.

00:09:52Pulling out some new tricks ahead of Slammiversary.

00:09:56Into the cover.

00:09:57Hook a goal is.

00:09:59Let's go!

00:10:00Woo!

00:10:01Yeah, saved by Tyson and Tyreek with Wes Lee.

00:10:06Beautiful awareness there by Wes Lee.

00:10:09Beautiful wick.

00:10:11What the hell are you watching?

00:10:12You got trifocals.

00:10:13You didn't see that?

00:10:15He got back off of one.

00:10:16He got back off of one.

00:10:17Oh, great, man.

00:10:17Tyson and Tyreek might be getting a little too close.

00:10:19Oh, wait a minute.

00:10:20It's Mike Santana.

00:10:22Come on.

00:10:22Mike Santana.

00:10:24What the hell is he doing?

00:10:26Santana evening the odds.

00:10:28Swing and a miss by Wes Lee.

00:10:30And now Joe Hendry giving Lee a standing.

00:10:34Oh, bullshit.

00:10:36Oh, hell no.

00:10:37Not like this.

00:10:38Not like this.

00:10:38Come on, man.

00:10:44Here's your winner, Joe Hendry.

00:10:50Trick, you are not a happy individual at this moment.

00:10:54Corey, let's take a look.

00:10:56Closing moments of this match.

00:10:57Tyson and Tyreek would hear that heads take Henry's attention.

00:11:00But luckily, Mike Santana of TNAs would show up and wreck shop.

00:11:06Opening the door for a little power display from Joe Hendry.

00:11:11Making a believer out of Wes Lee with a standing ovation.

00:11:16And Trick Williams, you better be ready because you've got two hungry stars gunning for your goals.

00:11:24Williams staring at the two men that are looking to put an end to Trick and Ed.

00:11:34I just don't know why you guys did that.

00:11:36I mean, I'm only trying to do good things and I just, I don't get it.

00:11:38Was I doing something bad?

00:11:39We were just trying to keep you from doing something that you would regret.

00:11:42Which is what good friends do.

00:11:44Because for the hundredth time, you need to keep an eye on her.

00:11:48Izzy is not your fault.

00:11:49What the hell was that?

00:11:50This is exactly what we're talking about.

00:11:52Why did you two get involved in my match when Tatum was trying to help me?

00:11:57What are you talking about?

00:11:59Tatum, look, I know you didn't mean to cost me the match.

00:12:02And I know your intentions were pure.

00:12:04And just please believe that I know you did not try to hurt me in any way.

00:12:09And I may have lost the match, but I feel like I won your friendship.

00:12:13I mean, at least I hope I did.

00:12:15You know what?

00:12:16I'm sick of this.

00:12:17Tatum, if you want to fall for her act, then go right ahead.

00:12:23Clearly, Zaruka is already a team.

00:12:26And I don't know about you, but I feel like we'd make a great one, too.

00:12:31I think she's right.

00:12:40Well, Sol and Zarya have tried to help Tatum,

00:12:42but she didn't want to listen.

00:12:44Tag team action still to come here tonight.

00:12:50And the question has been, can you trust this man?

00:12:53That is what Tony D needs to answer.

00:12:56We will hear from Luca Crucifino next.

00:13:05Combo and individual event tickets for SummerSlam in MetLife Stadium

00:13:09in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, August the 2nd,

00:13:12and Sunday, August the 3rd, are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

00:13:21It's all about family.

00:13:24It's all about the business.

00:13:31And here comes a man who has some explaining to do.

00:13:40Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Luca Crucifino.

00:13:49Booker, can you trust this man?

00:13:52Honest, can you trust Luca?

00:13:54I can tell you this.

00:13:56Crucifino's actions has been untrustworthy.

00:14:00I can say that.

00:14:01I think this guy's a fly in the ointment.

00:14:04I think this guy belongs chasing ambulances, not here in NXT.

00:14:09Tony D'Angelo has been questioning my loyalty since Stand and Deliver.

00:14:14And after last week, I want to put this to bed.

00:14:17I want to put this to rest.

00:14:18So, Tony, please come out here.

00:14:24Well, that's a mighty bold move.

00:14:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, everybody, look at this.

00:14:37My consigliere is calling me out here.

00:14:50The tables have turned, Luca.

00:14:54Tony, you seem to think that everyone's against you.

00:14:56Oh, no, you're right.

00:14:58You're not out to get me.

00:14:59At least that's not what the last month has said.

00:15:02See, last week, you screwed me in my Heritage Cup match and served it on a platter for stacks.

00:15:08And then you punched me in the face.

00:15:13Listen, as I recall correctly, you're the one who hit me in the face first.

00:15:20Tony, I gave you the respect to listen to you.

00:15:23Now you're going to listen to me.

00:15:28You want to talk about loyalty?

00:15:30Fine.

00:15:31Let's talk about loyalty.

00:15:34Loyalty is me leaving college with one year of eligibility at Duquesne University for a family because you asked me

00:15:41to.

00:15:44Loyalty is me turning down job offers from top law firms in the country without hesitation for a job that

00:15:50I've wanted since I was a child.

00:15:52I've turned down and given up everything that I've done up to this point for a chance, Tony, for a

00:15:58chance to be in the WWE.

00:16:01And you know, you know, you know, without a doubt that I have never done a damn thing to doubt

00:16:07you, Tony.

00:16:08Never.

00:16:09And you know what that is?

00:16:12That's loyalty.

00:16:24Luca, Luca, I got to say, I wouldn't be standing here, your Heritage Cup champion, if it wasn't for you.

00:16:32So thank you, man.

00:16:34Luca, listen to me.

00:16:35This is exactly what I'm talking about.

00:16:38This stuff right here.

00:16:39Hey, Luca, thank you.

00:16:40Shut the hell up.

00:16:42You're not part of this family.

00:16:44This is between me and Tony.

00:16:47Yeah, Stacks.

00:16:48This is between me and my consi...

00:16:51Oh!

00:16:54Oh, my God.

00:16:59How you like that, huh?

00:17:00How you like that, fuck?

00:17:02That's what it's about.

00:17:03Me and this guy taking over.

00:17:04Me and this guy...

00:17:09My loyalty lies with Luca Crucifino.

00:17:15Talk about a turn of events.

00:17:18Guys, we're left with more questions than answers here on NXT.

00:17:29Obafemi, later tonight, we see Yoshiki Inomura battle Jasper Troy for the opportunity to challenge you

00:17:35at the Great American Bash for your NXT championship.

00:17:38So do you have any predictions or preference on who you face?

00:17:41Well, I can see why the WWE Universe has warmed up to Yoshiki Inomura in such a short amount of

00:17:46time.

00:17:46I just want to see if he has the grit and the tenacity to get past Jasper Troy because Jasper

00:17:51is very hungry.

00:17:53And you might think that as a champion, I just want to see them destroy each other so that the

00:17:57challenge can be easy at the Great American Bash.

00:17:59But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:18:00That's not it.

00:18:01I want to see.

00:18:05Oba, tonight, I show you grit.

00:18:08I show you tenacity.

00:18:10I'm hungry for the biggest test.

00:18:17Josh, why don't you tell your boy to be ready?

00:18:20Because I missed all the chaos here on NXT, championships changing hands.

00:18:25There's one constant, and that is Obafemi.

00:18:28My way, remind yourself, I am not the hunted.

00:18:31I am the hunter.

00:18:33And the bigger name I put down, the more prestigious my reign becomes.

00:18:37So, I'll be seeing the winner very soon.

00:18:41You won't be waiting long.

00:18:45See you at the bash.

00:18:53My way, my life.

00:19:00Massive matchup still to come.

00:19:09The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:19:14Introducing first, from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, Lexus King.

00:19:22This man did a lot of talking last week to his opponent here tonight.

00:19:28The question is, can Lexus King back it up?

00:19:33King goes one-on-one with Miles Bourne next.

00:19:40And NXT on the CW is presented by Progressive.

00:19:45Save a new bundle, auto, home, and motorcycle insurance.

00:19:49Visit Progressive.com.

00:19:52And there is Lexus King, who last week tried to make a mockery out of the University of Florida and

00:19:58the Florida Gators there.

00:20:00Tyreek Sapp, George Gumbs Jr., they are here live tonight with the best seat in the house to see their

00:20:05boy take on Lexus King.

00:20:19And his opponent, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, Miles Bourne!

00:20:31Bourne certainly not alone tonight, has the Florida Gators here with him.

00:20:34But Graves, these two, they're different kinds of lone wolves.

00:20:39What did you say?

00:20:39And I'm asking you that because Lexus King last week said there was a lot of similarities.

00:20:43They had a lone wolf mentality.

00:20:45Some would say these are two completely different individuals.

00:20:48Some would say that Lexus King doesn't exactly have both forwards in the water.

00:20:52What I'm curious to see tonight is what Miles Bourne truly is capable of going forward since freeing himself of

00:20:58no quarter catch group.

00:20:59We've seen flashes of greatness from Miles Bourne, but can he sustain it?

00:21:03This is a big test for Bourne.

00:21:04And Booker, I'll come to you with the same thing.

00:21:06I mean, you've been a big fan of Lexus King.

00:21:08Do you see any similarities to what King was saying one week ago?

00:21:12I really can't say, but I can't say this.

00:21:14Cameraman, zoom in on the abs, man.

00:21:17Lexus King, the star of all television, is looking good.

00:21:21I don't think anybody wants to see any of that.

00:21:24Bourne had people around him.

00:21:25King, though, has always been alone, possibly because nobody wants to be around once.

00:21:30He's King.

00:21:30Come on, let's just see.

00:21:31You've got to give this guy a lot of credit.

00:21:33I mean, I've been hearing you.

00:21:34You're King.

00:21:34And in my opinion, Bourne is best right now.

00:21:37Who's holding his own?

00:21:38If you smile at Bourne, somebody let you step up.

00:21:41Flip it back.

00:21:41Take me.

00:21:42Oh, my God.

00:21:43Can you teach that at your speed?

00:21:44Yes, man.

00:21:45Step over the back.

00:21:46Step over the back.

00:21:48Classic Booker 2 strategy.

00:21:50This matchup continuing.

00:21:51Graves, did you see Byron Saxon sneaking around here all day today?

00:21:54Trying to get a kickball signed by the Florida Gators?

00:21:57The less we have to say about Byron Saxon, the better.

00:21:59Here's a Gator role being executed.

00:22:01I don't like that.

00:22:02Miles Bourne, he should add this to your repertoire.

00:22:04I don't like that.

00:22:05I don't like that at all.

00:22:06My thing is, Miles Bourne, this guy's got a lot of talent.

00:22:09But I wonder, was it a mistake?

00:22:11Stepping away from the NQCC?

00:22:12Well, certainly right now, it doesn't look to be that way.

00:22:14Tick the cap there to Saffron Cummings Jr. here, front row.

00:22:17Got everybody in the NXT universe doing the Florida Gator chomp when half the people here

00:22:21haven't graduated high school.

00:22:22I'll let you defend that later on on social media.

00:22:25Oh, and right now, big right hand from Bourne.

00:22:29And answering back on a drop kick.

00:22:31Did you see that?

00:22:32Did you see that?

00:22:33Very impressive athleticism.

00:22:35You did, right.

00:22:36Lexus King.

00:22:37What is it, you call him, book?

00:22:38The star of all television?

00:22:39The star of all television, man.

00:22:40I'm talking about all over the world.

00:22:42This guy, look at the jawline.

00:22:43Look at the jawline.

00:22:44This guy, you can tell he's been working on his body.

00:22:47And right now, he's working over Miles Bourne.

00:22:49I see the jawline.

00:22:50I'll see the paint on his face, too.

00:22:52He's now looking for maybe a super...

00:22:55Oh, my God, man.

00:22:57Floating right over into the cover.

00:22:59Hook of the leg and a kick out by Miles Bourne.

00:23:02Can we please give Lexus King a little bit of credit?

00:23:04All right, well, let me take this for you.

00:23:05You want to give him credit?

00:23:05Here's your chance to do it.

00:23:07Is Lexus King in position to be giving someone like

00:23:10the University of Florida Gators or even Miles Bourne advice?

00:23:13If it's a guy...

00:23:13Advice?

00:23:14Look, a guy that went to the point that this guy had

00:23:17winning the Heritage Cup championship,

00:23:18and right now, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

00:23:20Yes, I would be taking advice from him.

00:23:22Yes, I would.

00:23:23King charging in.

00:23:25Big knife-edge.

00:23:27Certainly, though, Graves,

00:23:28is a different side of Lexus King

00:23:30than we've seen in the past.

00:23:32What's me going to do?

00:23:33Cover here.

00:23:34I'm trying, but neither of you are answering my questions

00:23:36because you're over-talking to him.

00:23:37He's sitting over here trying to answer.

00:23:39You love the guy.

00:23:40We know.

00:23:40I got this.

00:23:41Let's take another look at the tremendous

00:23:43athleticism and precision

00:23:44from the star of all television,

00:23:47Lexus King.

00:23:47How am I doing?

00:23:48Not you, too.

00:23:49I had to do that.

00:23:50He seems a tactician.

00:23:52That's what he is right now.

00:23:53Say that five times in a row.

00:23:56Lexus King.

00:23:57Oh.

00:23:58He just went up top,

00:23:59and now this is starting to turn into a slug basket.

00:24:01These two just do not like this.

00:24:03Sometimes it's what it takes, though.

00:24:04Oh, no.

00:24:05Just let it get ugly.

00:24:06Start throwing hands.

00:24:07Throw some illegal blows there, too, by Miles Boyd.

00:24:09Refuge, let it go.

00:24:11Oh.

00:24:12Oh, baby.

00:24:13I like that.

00:24:14You like this.

00:24:15I'm offended.

00:24:16You like it.

00:24:17I'm mostly impressed by the fact

00:24:19Lexus King trims his facial hair

00:24:20with an Etch-A-Sketch,

00:24:21but we'll get to that later.

00:24:23And now Bourne

00:24:24trying to fire back big right hand,

00:24:25and that slap, Graves,

00:24:27may have waken up Miles Bourne.

00:24:29No doubt about it.

00:24:30King in all types of trouble right now.

00:24:33I was going to say,

00:24:34this is the same Miles Bourne

00:24:35who took Obafemi, the NXT champion,

00:24:37to the limit not long ago.

00:24:39It's still to come.

00:24:40Jasper Troy, Inamora,

00:24:41winner of the face.

00:24:42Obafemi for the NXT title

00:24:44at the Great American Bash.

00:24:47Nice counter, though,

00:24:48by King for a moment.

00:24:49King, looking for a kick,

00:24:50got caught.

00:24:52Bourne now,

00:24:52maybe looking for that Olympic slam.

00:24:55High angle, drop,

00:24:56center of the ring,

00:24:57hook to the leg for the victory

00:24:58and an ear call.

00:24:59It's not going to be enough.

00:25:00You can't stop Lexus King

00:25:02that easy, man.

00:25:03Say something nice about Miles Bourne.

00:25:05How can Miles flourish on his own?

00:25:07No, no, I said that.

00:25:08Look at King going to the eyes.

00:25:10Miles Bourne, he's in a perfect position

00:25:11to step out on his own,

00:25:12but like I say,

00:25:13leaving the NXT,

00:25:14that could have been the same.

00:25:16Sometimes you need pals.

00:25:17Sometimes you need buddies

00:25:18in this position.

00:25:19You're going to be looking

00:25:19for the coronation.

00:25:20That's funny,

00:25:21because you always tell me

00:25:21it's not about friends

00:25:22and championships.

00:25:23I'm just in the streets.

00:25:23I said pals, buddies.

00:25:25Oh, ho, ho.

00:25:25Big drop kick, though,

00:25:27from Miles Bourne.

00:25:28Under the jaw.

00:25:29King is rock.

00:25:31Gators are chomping.

00:25:32Bourne is focused.

00:25:33And bam!

00:25:36Dropping Lexus King,

00:25:37center of the ring,

00:25:38and Bourne proves

00:25:40he didn't mean the advice.

00:25:44Here is your winner,

00:25:46Miles Bourne!

00:25:49What a win for Miles Bourne,

00:25:52who continues to build momentum

00:25:54in NXT,

00:25:56celebrating with his friends

00:25:58and the Florida Gators.

00:25:59Let's go!

00:26:00Let's take a look

00:26:01at the next level

00:26:04athleticism of Miles Bourne.

00:26:06Drop kick right on the money.

00:26:08Boom!

00:26:08Followed up by something

00:26:10of a zigzag.

00:26:12Taking down the star

00:26:13of all television.

00:26:14Big win for Miles Bourne.

00:26:17And Miles ready to prove

00:26:18that hard work indeed

00:26:19pays off in NXT.

00:26:23Let's go!

00:26:29NXT's been nothing but chaos

00:26:30since Dark State popped out.

00:26:31We got an NXT superstar

00:26:33as TNA champ.

00:26:34Now we got a Noah wrestler

00:26:35gunning for the NXT title.

00:26:37Man, Hank and Tank get dropped.

00:26:38Everybody want to

00:26:39put their finger at it.

00:26:40Yeah, all I'm saying is

00:26:42everything that goes on

00:26:43around here

00:26:43because Dark State allows it.

00:26:45Yeah, we see everything.

00:26:46It's our playground.

00:26:48And chaos is our game.

00:26:49Yeah, so y'all might as well

00:26:50get used to it.

00:26:51Go ahead, get comfortable.

00:26:53Because if we catch y'all

00:26:54like it,

00:26:55there ain't no saving you, bud.

00:26:57Because we can slide anywhere,

00:26:59anyplace,

00:27:00anytime.

00:27:01Hey, bruh.

00:27:02Matter of fact,

00:27:03I think I know

00:27:04where we finna go next.

00:27:06But y'all don't.

00:27:15I'm a grown-ass woman.

00:27:17I'm a grown-ass woman.

00:27:26I'm a grown-ass woman.

00:28:01I'm a grown-ass woman.

00:28:05I'm a grown-ass woman.

00:28:15J.C. Jane.

00:28:16It's a fantastic way

00:28:17to introduce yourself

00:28:18to the NXT universe

00:28:20as Laini Reed did.

00:28:21The trouble is,

00:28:22she claimed that she was

00:28:23going to be the one

00:28:24to beat J.C. Jane

00:28:25and was unable to do so.

00:28:26Tonight is of the utmost importance

00:28:28to show the rest of the world

00:28:29who Laini Reed truly is.

00:28:31Laini's looking to become

00:28:32the biggest,

00:28:33the largest

00:28:34here in NXT, man.

00:28:36Oh, yes.

00:28:38I'll ask you to elaborate on that,

00:28:39but the bell is about to ring

00:28:40and we're about to get underway

00:28:42between these two.

00:28:43And on the topic of Jane,

00:28:45she faces Jordan Grace,

00:28:46WWE Evolution,

00:28:47for the NXT Women's Championship

00:28:48in Atlanta,

00:28:49July 13th,

00:28:50right after

00:28:51the Great American Bash.

00:28:53Tia Hale, Graves,

00:28:55is there a part of you

00:28:56that thinks Thea got

00:28:57the short end of the stick?

00:28:58Remember, she did

00:28:59tap out Jada Parker.

00:29:01Listen, I understand

00:29:02the frustration of

00:29:03Thea Hale,

00:29:04who right now

00:29:04is just unloading it.

00:29:06Appears as though

00:29:07Thea has had enough.

00:29:08Whoa.

00:29:09Maybe she's tired

00:29:09of being overlooked.

00:29:10And you're right.

00:29:11Jada Parker,

00:29:12let's call it what it is,

00:29:13out-strategized,

00:29:14out-smarted Thea.

00:29:15But right now,

00:29:15Thea on a mission

00:29:16into the cover,

00:29:17hooked the leg.

00:29:18Oh, Booker,

00:29:19if you go back

00:29:19to what Graves

00:29:19is talking about,

00:29:20is that sort of

00:29:21a wake-up call

00:29:22of sorts

00:29:23for someone like Thea Hale?

00:29:24I mean, I think it is

00:29:24because,

00:29:26I mean, right now,

00:29:27Thea Hale,

00:29:28I mean, she's her

00:29:28worst enemy.

00:29:29Right now,

00:29:29she had that next one

00:29:30against Jada Parker.

00:29:32But you cannot

00:29:33let this bitch

00:29:34just give away

00:29:35right down the referee

00:29:36didn't do his job.

00:29:37He didn't break the hole.

00:29:38She shot the hole goal.

00:29:39That was a mistake.

00:29:40A big mistake.

00:29:41She's trying to get over

00:29:42the events of that

00:29:43Evolution Eliminator

00:29:44and trying to

00:29:44get over it,

00:29:45but instead got dropped

00:29:46base first by Reed.

00:29:48Reed followed.

00:29:49I see something

00:29:50that lady reads.

00:29:51She's got that impact.

00:29:52She's looking at

00:29:53this big, big star here

00:29:55and then he's looking

00:29:55at that blue

00:29:56and the boom.

00:29:57I love it, man.

00:29:58Southern sensation

00:29:59certainly turning heads

00:30:01very quickly

00:30:02here in NXT.

00:30:03You see that?

00:30:04You see that?

00:30:05That boom right

00:30:06to the snout?

00:30:07I love it, man.

00:30:08The greatest snout

00:30:09on the side of your head.

00:30:11Got her in the ear, Book.

00:30:13He's just excited right now.

00:30:14I can tell.

00:30:14Stop region.

00:30:16Lady's got you feeling

00:30:17some kind of way, Book.

00:30:18I get it.

00:30:18I told you he's fanning

00:30:19himself when we started

00:30:20the thing.

00:30:20Graves, how deep

00:30:21is the NXT women's division

00:30:23when you truly look at it

00:30:24all jokingly side?

00:30:25I mean, I don't think

00:30:26I can state it adequately

00:30:27enough.

00:30:28I mean, every time

00:30:28one star goes to Raw

00:30:29or SmackDown

00:30:30and you've got,

00:30:31it seems like

00:30:31three more pop up.

00:30:32It's a great problem

00:30:34to have.

00:30:34It's a deep women's division

00:30:35and it continues to evolve.

00:30:37Eleni Reed now

00:30:38taking her time

00:30:39and last week, Booker,

00:30:41it was Reed who said,

00:30:42Thea gets played

00:30:43like a fiddle.

00:30:44I'm sure you agree.

00:30:46Not only that,

00:30:46Lady Reed,

00:30:47she stepped in

00:30:48right off the rip.

00:30:49Call out, baby.

00:30:50Call out to the champ.

00:30:51And my thing is this,

00:30:52is this a UFC?

00:30:53Is this a UFC?

00:30:54They call us.

00:30:55I love it, man.

00:30:56That's what Lady Reed

00:30:57is all about.

00:30:58Well, we take a look

00:30:59a little bit deeper

00:31:00at Lady Reed

00:31:00and some of the comments

00:31:01she's made with call outs

00:31:02to Booker's point.

00:31:04Gravy, is Reed right

00:31:05with the things

00:31:06she has said about Thea Hale

00:31:07specifically that

00:31:08she hasn't changed

00:31:09one bit

00:31:10since leaving Chase U?

00:31:11Take a look at this.

00:31:12Powerful.

00:31:13Oh, wow.

00:31:14Shoulder breaker

00:31:16executed excellently

00:31:17into a cover

00:31:18hook of the leg

00:31:18and somehow

00:31:20Thea able to kick out.

00:31:21Back to your question, Vic.

00:31:22I sort of have to agree

00:31:23with Lady Reed,

00:31:24but I do want to take

00:31:25another look at this.

00:31:26Double eye.

00:31:27Shoulder breaker.

00:31:28That could have ended it.

00:31:29Credit to Thea Hale

00:31:30for surviving,

00:31:31but I agree.

00:31:32I've said something similar.

00:31:33Thea Hale wanted so bad

00:31:34to be,

00:31:35as she put it,

00:31:36a grown-ass woman

00:31:36to stand on her own two feet

00:31:38and really nothing

00:31:39has changed

00:31:40about her strategy

00:31:40or her approach

00:31:41to the ring.

00:31:42Oh, Thea Hale

00:31:43last week

00:31:44also admitted

00:31:47that adulting is hard.

00:31:48The locker room

00:31:49is mean

00:31:49as she's trying

00:31:50to get back

00:31:51into this matchup.

00:31:51Who said that?

00:31:52Thea Hale said that.

00:31:53A grown woman said that?

00:31:55Yes.

00:31:55I've just given up.

00:31:56It's a selfish business, man.

00:31:58You've got to be thinking

00:31:58about eight number one

00:31:59right now

00:32:00because Thea is doing that

00:32:01in this matchup,

00:32:02but can she continue

00:32:03to do that?

00:32:04That's the mindset.

00:32:05Stay focused, Thea.

00:32:06Stay focused.

00:32:07And Thea charging right in

00:32:08and trying to turn

00:32:09this matchup around

00:32:10into the cover.

00:32:11Another hook to the leg

00:32:12and a kick out

00:32:13by Lainey Reed

00:32:14getting that inside shoulder up.

00:32:16Listen, in my opinion,

00:32:17I think Thea needs

00:32:18to take what she has,

00:32:19which is a seemingly

00:32:20endless amount of energy.

00:32:21She's pernetic.

00:32:22She's frantic.

00:32:23If she can channel it,

00:32:24if she can focus it,

00:32:25use it in bursts,

00:32:26in spurts,

00:32:27rather than just

00:32:28nonstop chaos,

00:32:29it might serve Thea well

00:32:31in the future.

00:32:31All right now,

00:32:32Lainey Reed again

00:32:33looking for some

00:32:34high-impact offense

00:32:35counter by Thea Hale.

00:32:36Hale charging right back in.

00:32:37We've seen this in the past.

00:32:38We'll be trying to

00:32:39block in that Kimura.

00:32:41It's a smart strategy

00:32:42by Lainey, though.

00:32:43Oh, taking the feet out

00:32:45into the cover.

00:32:45Big ref, ref!

00:32:48Nice job by our official.

00:32:49Thea Hale

00:32:50got caught the last time.

00:32:52That was smart.

00:32:53And right from behind,

00:32:54Thea Hale this time,

00:32:55rolling up center of the ring.

00:32:57And...

00:32:58Good job by our

00:32:59officiating crew here tonight.

00:33:01Oh!

00:33:02That's it!

00:33:03That's it!

00:33:04word, but...

00:33:05Hey, hey!

00:33:08What the...

00:33:09Here's no winner.

00:33:11Lainey Reed!

00:33:13You're so eager to tattle last time.

00:33:15Why don't you get

00:33:15our official's attention?

00:33:17Got to admit,

00:33:18it not only was

00:33:19Reed holding the ropes,

00:33:21it appeared Thea had her hand...

00:33:22This is a shocking upset.

00:33:24The sticks, man.

00:33:25You know that.

00:33:31That's why they say

00:33:31that boy is bouncing.

00:33:33I know he's really here.

00:33:34He is.

00:33:34We know he's bouncing.

00:33:35Yeah, but Tavion,

00:33:35you were so close

00:33:36to beating Javon last week

00:33:37and selfishly,

00:33:38I'm glad you're still in the group.

00:33:40Yeah, well,

00:33:40imagine having a face mask

00:33:41on the whole time.

00:33:42You know, Tavion,

00:33:43what Jasper ended up doing

00:33:44to Javon,

00:33:45wasn't that what

00:33:46you were meant to do to him?

00:33:47I didn't do it.

00:33:48And you didn't.

00:33:49And look what happened.

00:33:50You lost.

00:33:50Which just proves my point

00:33:52that you still need more time

00:33:53in the NQCC.

00:33:55Does it, Charlie?

00:33:56Yes, it does.

00:33:56Look, I'm not making

00:33:57no excuses, all right?

00:33:58I lost.

00:33:58Cool.

00:33:59But you know what?

00:34:00I want the exact deal

00:34:01you offered, Miles.

00:34:02A one-on-one match against you.

00:34:04And if I win,

00:34:04I'm out, dog.

00:34:06I don't think you want

00:34:07to do that, Tavion.

00:34:08That's going to be

00:34:08two losses in a row for you.

00:34:10No, I mean,

00:34:10I think he does.

00:34:11That is what you just said.

00:34:12Thank you very much, Ren.

00:34:13I can hear you.

00:34:13You're right next to me.

00:34:15Look, Tavion,

00:34:16you really want that match so bad?

00:34:18Fine.

00:34:18But here's the thing.

00:34:19When I win,

00:34:20this conversation we're having,

00:34:22it's not happening again.

00:34:23That's also fair.

00:34:28It's a good deal.

00:35:01The following contest

00:35:03is a tag team match

00:35:04scheduled for one fall.

00:35:06Introducing first,

00:35:08the team of

00:35:09Sari

00:35:10and the NXT

00:35:12Women's

00:35:13North American

00:35:14Champion

00:35:14Sol

00:35:17Ruka.

00:35:19Well, we can call it

00:35:21any way we want to.

00:35:22This duo took matters

00:35:24into their own hands

00:35:25to try and

00:35:27help

00:35:27Tatum

00:35:28last week.

00:35:29Paxley prefers,

00:35:30though,

00:35:31her new friend

00:35:32for an other tag team match

00:35:34between all four of these women

00:35:35next on NXT.

00:35:41The NXT

00:35:42locker room

00:35:43lives in fear

00:35:43of Oba Femi.

00:35:45He's dominant.

00:35:46He's invincible.

00:35:48He's a titan.

00:35:49But did he look that way

00:35:50when he was in the ring

00:35:51with me?

00:35:52The NXT

00:35:53champion

00:35:53barely survived.

00:35:55And now

00:35:56I'm only one match away

00:35:57from the rematch

00:35:58that I want.

00:35:59And I know

00:36:00Oba,

00:36:00he rooting for

00:36:01Inamora

00:36:01because he knows

00:36:03what's waiting

00:36:03at the bash

00:36:04if I get my hand

00:36:05raised tonight.

00:36:07Inamora,

00:36:08I'm going through you.

00:36:09In Oba Femi,

00:36:10you may be backed

00:36:11by destiny,

00:36:12but your destiny

00:36:13is mine.

00:36:15Truth

00:36:16will ultimately prevail.

00:36:19But there's pain

00:36:20bringing it to light.

00:36:23It's a light.

00:36:41And the reporters,

00:36:42the team are

00:36:43Tatum Paxley

00:36:44and the

00:36:46Coolers,

00:36:47Izzy

00:36:47Day!

00:36:49Look,

00:36:50I'm not one

00:36:50for conspiracies,

00:36:52but all signs

00:36:53are pointing

00:36:54to the Culling

00:36:54taking out

00:36:56the NXT Tag Team

00:36:57champions

00:36:58Hank and Tank

00:36:59last week.

00:37:00But we also saw

00:37:01Tatum Paxley

00:37:02get carried away

00:37:03by Zal Ruka

00:37:04last weekend

00:37:05to try and

00:37:06help

00:37:07Tatum Paxley.

00:37:08So Graves,

00:37:08I toss it to you.

00:37:09Who do you think

00:37:11is more trustworthy?

00:37:12Izzy Dayme

00:37:14or Zal Ruka

00:37:15and Zaria?

00:37:16I don't know

00:37:16if trustworthy

00:37:17is the word

00:37:18that I would use,

00:37:19but let's talk

00:37:19about the Culling.

00:37:20Let's be honest.

00:37:21They prey on

00:37:22the weak

00:37:22and the broken.

00:37:23That's where

00:37:24Tatum Paxley is.

00:37:25That's where

00:37:26she belongs.

00:37:28And while we're

00:37:29at it,

00:37:29to be perfectly honest,

00:37:30I don't know

00:37:31if I trust

00:37:31anything about

00:37:32Zaria.

00:37:33To me,

00:37:34she's just

00:37:34riding the

00:37:34coattails

00:37:35of Sol Ruka.

00:37:36And for some

00:37:36reason,

00:37:37she's trying

00:37:37to convince

00:37:38Sol that

00:37:38they're best

00:37:39friends.

00:37:39But trust me,

00:37:40trust me,

00:37:41mark my words,

00:37:42somewhere down

00:37:43the line,

00:37:43we're going

00:37:44to be talking

00:37:44about how

00:37:44did we see

00:37:45this coming?

00:37:46Zaria is going

00:37:47to stick it

00:37:47to Sol Ruka.

00:37:48You ever have

00:37:49a conversation

00:37:49with Zaria?

00:37:50Nope.

00:37:51Where are you

00:37:52jumping to

00:37:53conclude?

00:37:53Whoa,

00:37:53wait a minute.

00:37:58Zaria and Sol

00:37:58and Izzy

00:37:59coming in

00:37:59sticking up

00:38:00for her,

00:38:00well,

00:38:01I guess her

00:38:01friend,

00:38:02however you

00:38:02want to call,

00:38:03but there's

00:38:03some of that

00:38:03teamwork there,

00:38:05Graves,

00:38:05from Zaria.

00:38:06I never said

00:38:07they weren't

00:38:07an effective

00:38:08team,

00:38:08I just said

00:38:09you couldn't

00:38:09trust her.

00:38:10Well,

00:38:10they got a

00:38:10very strong

00:38:11bond and

00:38:11stronger,

00:38:12don't you

00:38:12think,

00:38:12though,

00:38:13since Sol's

00:38:13win over the

00:38:15women's North

00:38:15American title,

00:38:16or do you

00:38:16think it's

00:38:17because Zaria

00:38:17has eyes

00:38:18on that

00:38:19championship?

00:38:19Yeah,

00:38:20let's take

00:38:20another look at

00:38:21this exchange

00:38:22right here,

00:38:31American

00:38:32championship some

00:38:33kind of way.

00:38:33you ain't lying,

00:38:35there's a method

00:38:36to the madness,

00:38:37man,

00:38:38with Zaria.

00:38:39I feel the

00:38:39same way,

00:38:40man,

00:38:40you can't

00:38:40trust her.

00:38:41DTA,

00:38:44Still to come,

00:38:45we will hear

00:38:53How is this

00:38:53for teamwork

00:38:54from a

00:38:54first-time

00:38:55team?

00:38:56Tatum

00:38:57Paxley and

00:38:57Izzy Dame

00:38:58working extremely

00:38:59well together.

00:39:00That is also

00:39:01hard to argue,

00:39:02Izzy Dame,

00:39:03bringing of

00:39:04sorts some

00:39:05dowels to

00:39:06Tatum Paxley

00:39:07last week.

00:39:08It's a peace

00:39:08offering.

00:39:09It's like when

00:39:10you hand out

00:39:11candy to the

00:39:11people around

00:39:12ringside,

00:39:12they cheer for

00:39:13you.

00:39:13That's 100%

00:39:14why I do it,

00:39:15is Izzy Dame

00:39:15still in control

00:39:16of this matchup

00:39:17tagging right

00:39:18back in,

00:39:19Tatum Paxley,

00:39:19as I was

00:39:20mentioning,

00:39:20the NXT

00:39:21Women's

00:39:21Championship

00:39:29into a kickout.

00:39:30The champion

00:39:32she did not

00:39:32leave Evolution

00:39:33NXT Women's

00:39:34Champion on

00:39:34that night.

00:39:35We will find

00:39:36out if J.C.

00:39:37Jain can leave

00:39:37champion coming

00:39:39up in Atlanta,

00:39:40but Sol Ruka

00:39:40in control now

00:39:41of Tatum

00:39:42Paxley.

00:39:43Gotta wonder

00:39:43what Sol,

00:39:45what Zarya's

00:39:46thinking in this

00:39:47match,

00:39:47they don't want

00:39:47to hurt

00:39:48Tatum Paxley,

00:39:48they're trying

00:39:49to help

00:39:50Tatum Paxley.

00:39:51Tatum Paxley's

00:39:52looking for a

00:39:52friend and I

00:39:53think she's

00:39:53found one in

00:39:54Izzy Dame

00:39:55and Izzy Dame

00:39:56has just found

00:39:56somebody that

00:39:57she can use

00:39:58at the end

00:39:59of the day

00:39:59so everybody

00:40:00get what they

00:40:01want.

00:40:01I like it.

00:40:02I like the

00:40:02agreement.

00:40:03Pax able to

00:40:04kick out of it.

00:40:05Booker though,

00:40:06why would Tatum

00:40:08choose evil

00:40:08over good?

00:40:10I wouldn't say

00:40:11it's evil.

00:40:12What an evil

00:40:12and totally

00:40:13subjective.

00:40:13what do you

00:40:14need?

00:40:14What do you need?

00:40:15You're telling

00:40:15she has great

00:40:16intentions,

00:40:17Izzy Dame?

00:40:18Someone who

00:40:18tore the family

00:40:19apart?

00:40:20Someone who

00:40:20was able to

00:40:21manipulate a

00:40:22situation against

00:40:23Sean Spears,

00:40:24the North American

00:40:24Championship several

00:40:25months ago?

00:40:26I see a woman

00:40:26who lent a

00:40:27helping hand,

00:40:28as you so

00:40:29eloquently put it,

00:40:30to someone who

00:40:31was down on

00:40:31their luck.

00:40:32Someone who

00:40:32needed a little

00:40:33help, a little

00:40:33motivation.

00:40:34Izzy Dame

00:40:35into the cover,

00:40:35hooks the leg.

00:40:36And above all

00:40:37else, I think

00:40:38Izzy Dame

00:40:39understands what this

00:40:40game is all

00:40:41about.

00:40:41Booker, can you

00:40:41help me out?

00:40:42I mean, you

00:40:43put that great.

00:40:44I mean, that

00:40:45was a great

00:40:46soliloquy that

00:40:47you just put out

00:40:47right there.

00:40:48Can you spell

00:40:48soliloquy?

00:40:49He used it

00:40:50properly, so it

00:40:51doesn't matter.

00:40:52I want Graves

00:40:53to sell a

00:40:54ketchup popsicle

00:40:55to a woman

00:40:55in white gloves.

00:40:56Ketchup

00:40:57popsicle?

00:40:58And now,

00:40:59big right hand

00:41:00from Soul

00:41:02firing right back

00:41:03on Izzy, who

00:41:03fires back in

00:41:04her own right.

00:41:05And it's almost

00:41:05as if these,

00:41:06oh, these women

00:41:07are fighting over

00:41:09Tata Paxley,

00:41:10who just made

00:41:10a tag.

00:41:11I don't think

00:41:11it's on there

00:41:11to realize.

00:41:12No, no, no, no.

00:41:13They're trying to

00:41:13fight to save her.

00:41:14They're trying to

00:41:14help her.

00:41:15Oh, beautiful

00:41:16Tata Paxley.

00:41:19Listen, you know

00:41:19what?

00:41:20Soul Ruka needs

00:41:20to be concerned

00:41:21about the North

00:41:22American Championship.

00:41:23You know what

00:41:23Zari needs to be

00:41:24concerned about?

00:41:25How to take the

00:41:26North American

00:41:27Championship or how

00:41:27to put herself in

00:41:28the NXT women's

00:41:29title picture.

00:41:29Boom.

00:41:30Cross body, a

00:41:31thing of beauty

00:41:32from Tatum

00:41:32Paxley, who is

00:41:33wildly talented in

00:41:35the small instances

00:41:35when she gets

00:41:36her head right.

00:41:37Well, as we also

00:41:39focus in on this

00:41:39too, Booker,

00:41:40regardless of

00:41:41personal feelings

00:41:42as she just was

00:41:43tagged out of the

00:41:44matchup, Izzy Dame

00:41:45has certainly

00:41:46dominated the field

00:41:47since joining the

00:41:47Cup.

00:41:48Izzy Dame, I

00:41:49would call her the

00:41:50leader of the Cup.

00:41:51because she's been

00:41:52making all the

00:41:52power plays.

00:41:54If she could get a

00:41:55win tonight, definitely

00:41:56that would be a big,

00:41:58big, big, big, big

00:41:59check mark.

00:42:00Let's just say that.

00:42:01X marks the spot.

00:42:02Dame to the outside.

00:42:03Tatum getting hoisted up.

00:42:04Oh, baby.

00:42:05I don't like this.

00:42:06So, boy, so, boy, so, boy.

00:42:10One more time.

00:42:11So, boy.

00:42:12Time to charm right down

00:42:14on Izzy Dame.

00:42:15And now look at the

00:42:16power of Zarya.

00:42:17Just tossing out Tatum

00:42:20onto Izzy.

00:42:22Zaruca standing tall

00:42:23here on NXT.

00:42:25Don't say that again,

00:42:26bro.

00:42:28W.

00:42:30W.

00:42:33Zarya, Solruca been in

00:42:34control up until this

00:42:35moment.

00:42:36And, oh, Tatum

00:42:38Paxley, Izzy Dame,

00:42:40making their presence

00:42:41known, making it felt

00:42:43as Spears, Nico Vance

00:42:44on the outside, cheering

00:42:46on Tatum.

00:42:46Booker, what do you

00:42:47think the rest of the

00:42:48Culling thinks of Tatum?

00:42:49I think they're thinking

00:42:50she's the right person

00:42:52for the job.

00:42:52Tatum Paxley could be

00:42:54the newest member of

00:42:55the Culling.

00:42:56Especially, like I

00:42:56say, we get a victory

00:42:57tonight.

00:42:58Everything's lovely, man.

00:43:00Spears, Vance, the

00:43:01insurance policy on

00:43:02the outside.

00:43:03Zarya able to get

00:43:04out of the way for a

00:43:05moment, trying to

00:43:06showcase that power.

00:43:07Nice counter by Tatum

00:43:08and Tatum with a nice

00:43:09drop.

00:43:10Wow.

00:43:11Think about what the

00:43:12addition of Tatum

00:43:12Paxley could mean for

00:43:14the Culling.

00:43:14We see them grow

00:43:15stronger.

00:43:16They're switching pieces

00:43:17in and out to maximize

00:43:18their effectiveness.

00:43:19Look at this.

00:43:20This is tremendous

00:43:21teamwork.

00:43:22Beautiful teamwork.

00:43:23Izzy and Tatum.

00:43:25So, you agree with

00:43:26what Booker said, that

00:43:27the Culling has only

00:43:28gotten stronger in

00:43:29recent weeks, short

00:43:30arm, clothesline, hook

00:43:32of the leg, and an

00:43:33earfall.

00:43:33When you find a way to

00:43:34appeal to the broken, to

00:43:36the weakened, and you

00:43:37can unite them and you

00:43:38can use the things that

00:43:39broke them to strengthen

00:43:41them, you are creating a

00:43:42very, very dangerous

00:43:43group of human beings.

00:43:45Beautiful teamwork.

00:43:46We're not playing

00:43:47Scrabble here, Booker.

00:43:48You don't get more

00:43:48points for using it

00:43:49twice.

00:43:49Izzy gifted some

00:43:50dolls to Tatum.

00:43:51What is your point?

00:43:53That's all it takes,

00:43:54putting Tatum's heart

00:43:55back together.

00:43:55Well, that's what I'll

00:43:56try to get.

00:43:56It was symbolic.

00:43:58Oh!

00:43:59It was symbolic.

00:44:00That was symbolic, too.

00:44:01It'd be like if I bought

00:44:02you a tube of your

00:44:02favorite, honey, because

00:44:03we didn't have a great

00:44:04show.

00:44:04Look at Tatum Paxley.

00:44:06Oh, baby!

00:44:07Oh, baby!

00:44:08Two to the half.

00:44:09Hook of the leg.

00:44:10Will it be enough?

00:44:11And a near fall.

00:44:13Beautiful somersault

00:44:14leg drop.

00:44:15For Tatum Paxley,

00:44:16partners, friends have

00:44:18left her in the past.

00:44:19Some unexpected.

00:44:21Maybe, let me, I'll

00:44:22look at it the other

00:44:22way.

00:44:23Maybe, just maybe,

00:44:24she found a true

00:44:25friend, Booker, in

00:44:26Izzy Davis.

00:44:27Let me tell you

00:44:27right now.

00:44:28Tatum Paxley has a

00:44:29lot of talent.

00:44:30I think that Cully

00:44:30can really, truly

00:44:32hone in on that

00:44:33talent and get the

00:44:34best of Tatum

00:44:35Paxley out of the

00:44:37middle of the

00:44:37That's the way I'm

00:44:38doing.

00:44:38You've got a lot of

00:44:39experience.

00:44:40Think of the value

00:44:41inside the mind of

00:44:42Sean Spears.

00:44:43This is a man who's

00:44:44been there, done that

00:44:45around the world,

00:44:46tasted the success,

00:44:48sulked in failure.

00:44:48Hook of the leg.

00:44:49Off the Instagram.

00:44:51Spears is a wealth

00:44:52of knowledge, and

00:44:53when you take these

00:44:54people, again, who

00:44:55for all intents and

00:44:56purposes are in a dark

00:44:57spot in their life,

00:44:59Spears has figured

00:45:00out how to, maybe

00:45:01manipulate is the

00:45:02right word, but

00:45:03build them back up.

00:45:04You know what I

00:45:04call it, right?

00:45:05The GPS.

00:45:07Just put in the

00:45:08information.

00:45:08Just log in your

00:45:09coordination, and he

00:45:11will get you that

00:45:11desk, baby.

00:45:12Oh, yes.

00:45:14Coordinates.

00:45:14That's what I meant to

00:45:15I know.

00:45:16I use the GPS.

00:45:17You use maps now

00:45:18these days.

00:45:19I got the GPS.

00:45:19I got ways.

00:45:21Yes.

00:45:23Well, right now,

00:45:24Tatum Paxley finding

00:45:25ways to continue this

00:45:27matchup and for the

00:45:28culling.

00:45:29A tag was made.

00:45:30Izzy Dame back in,

00:45:31and this tangible.

00:45:32Wow.

00:45:33Sorry, I got the

00:45:33knees up just in time.

00:45:35Oh, tag, and in

00:45:36comes a women's

00:45:37North American

00:45:37champion who's

00:45:39finding her own

00:45:39ways to turn the

00:45:41tables in this

00:45:42matchup.

00:45:42Yes, it's in the

00:45:42nick of time, too,

00:45:43because Zario is

00:45:45feeling it.

00:45:46A little Home

00:45:46Alone action right

00:45:47here.

00:45:47Taken down, running

00:45:48right back around,

00:45:49right to the face,

00:45:51in control.

00:45:56Izzy running it.

00:45:58Tag was made.

00:45:59That's a unique

00:46:01tag for Zario.

00:46:02He was just able to

00:46:03get out of the

00:46:03matchup, but nonetheless,

00:46:05working like a

00:46:05world-finaled machine.

00:46:07Zoruka just needed a

00:46:08solid base to launch

00:46:09that attack.

00:46:10Zario now has Izzy

00:46:12scooped up.

00:46:14Oh, double-up tag team

00:46:16action right here.

00:46:18Going for the big

00:46:18discompetive coup d'etat.

00:46:20Oh, man.

00:46:22With a little extra

00:46:23twist, into the cover

00:46:25goes Zario, who is

00:46:26legal for her team, and

00:46:27running up the bow,

00:46:29breaking it up, was

00:46:30Tatum.

00:46:31This is a new side of

00:46:33Paxley we've never seen

00:46:34before, and I hate to

00:46:36admit it up until now,

00:46:37it's because of Izzy

00:46:39Damon the Cone.

00:46:39Because Tatum

00:46:40Paxley has so much

00:46:41talent, and it's just

00:46:43about holding that

00:46:43talent and breaking it

00:46:44out right now.

00:46:45Zario, you're going

00:46:46for a picture.

00:46:46Oh, no!

00:46:47Cone breaker by Izzy,

00:46:48and you know Izzy

00:46:49right now.

00:46:50There's no Tatum.

00:46:52What the hell is she?

00:46:53What do you mean,

00:46:53where the hell is she?

00:46:54You just saw her get

00:46:55dropped a second ago,

00:46:56and Sol Ruka, she is

00:46:58legal, up over, lands

00:46:59on her feet, and, oh,

00:47:01unique offense right to

00:47:03the spine.

00:47:03Oh!

00:47:04Tatum just saved

00:47:05Izzy!

00:47:06Zario just feared

00:47:07Sol!

00:47:10That's not what

00:47:11Zario's intentions were!

00:47:13Are you sure about

00:47:13that?

00:47:15Tatum has just shown

00:47:16her true colors,

00:47:18who she sided with.

00:47:20She's crazy like a

00:47:22fox, Vic, that's

00:47:23what this is.

00:47:24She's crazy, she's

00:47:25conniving.

00:47:26She's not crazy,

00:47:27she's crazy like a

00:47:27home, baby!

00:47:28And she could be

00:47:29part of the culling

00:47:30sit-down style, and

00:47:32Izzy just pinned the

00:47:34women's North American

00:47:35champion.

00:47:37Here are your winners,

00:47:38team of Paxley, and

00:47:40Izzy

00:47:41Dane!

00:47:52Take a look at this.

00:47:55A sight to behold for

00:47:57sure.

00:47:57Tatum Paxley shoving

00:47:59Izzy Dane out of

00:48:01Zaria's path.

00:48:02Zaria takes out

00:48:03Sol Ruka.

00:48:05And as Zaria tries to

00:48:07reconcile what just

00:48:08happened, Paxley takes

00:48:10care of business on the

00:48:11outside.

00:48:12Izzy Dane with a sky-high

00:48:14powerbomb on the inside.

00:48:16Nothing will bond the new

00:48:18team faster than a big-time

00:48:21win.

00:48:23Zaria's path.

00:48:25Zaria's path.

00:48:25Zaria looking up in

00:48:25heartbreak with the warm

00:48:28embrace of Izzy and Tatum and

00:48:32the culling.

00:48:40You know, if you guys wanted my

00:48:41honest opinion, I would tell

00:48:43you that Ethan is, like, the

00:48:44last person that you should

00:48:46align yourself with, but

00:48:47anyways.

00:48:48Great advice.

00:48:49What I was going to say is I

00:48:51would love if we could have a

00:48:52civil conversation.

00:48:54Ain't nothing civil about

00:48:55this.

00:48:55This is going to be man to

00:48:56man.

00:48:56And I damn sure don't need the

00:48:58peanut gallery here.

00:48:59I want my rematch.

00:49:01Okay.

00:49:01First of all, a smidge of

00:49:03respect for the vanity

00:49:06project.

00:49:07Also, these boys are

00:49:08literally only here to help

00:49:10you.

00:49:10Just in case you step out of

00:49:12line and I have to send you

00:49:13back to the hospital, they're

00:49:15here to protect you.

00:49:16Now, as far as this

00:49:18rematch goes, Ricky, please

00:49:20keep up with the times.

00:49:22Oligweeth and Page is the

00:49:23North American champion, the

00:49:25greatest North American to

00:49:26hold it.

00:49:27And going forward, I will be

00:49:28dictating every single thing

00:49:30about this championship on my

00:49:32terms.

00:49:33Oh, wow.

00:49:33Your terms, huh?

00:49:34Just like every championship

00:49:35that you've earned here.

00:49:37Hondos.

00:49:39Hondos.

00:49:40Yeah.

00:49:41Hondos.

00:49:42Now, I am a fighting

00:49:43champion and in a fantastic

00:49:45mood.

00:49:45So I'm going to give you an

00:49:46opportunity.

00:49:47You can earn a shot at this

00:49:49championship if and only if

00:49:51you survive the vanity

00:49:53project gauntlet.

00:49:56Gauntlet.

00:49:57Oh, okay.

00:49:58Ethan, you can't...

00:49:59You're okay.

00:50:00You can't do...

00:50:02Sorry.

00:50:03Ethan, you can't do that.

00:50:07I like these guys, man.

00:50:09No.

00:50:10Real cute, Slim Jim.

00:50:12But I don't mind playing this

00:50:14little game of yours because, in

00:50:15fact, when I beat the gauntlet, I

00:50:19get to dictate the stipulation for

00:50:21a modern rematch.

00:50:22I love that.

00:50:23Okay, let's not get ahead of

00:50:24ourselves here.

00:50:25Sorry, champ.

00:50:25That is a done deal.

00:50:27Next week, it will be Ricky

00:50:28Saints versus the Vanity Project

00:50:30and the Vanity Project gauntlet

00:50:31match.

00:50:32Perfect.

00:50:33Perfect.

00:50:34You're eight.

00:50:35Right.

00:50:36You got them.

00:50:36Easy.

00:50:37Hondos.

00:50:38Chef, I'm not worried.

00:50:39You're going to crush those.

00:50:40I want you in this spot.

00:50:51After reflecting on last week, Uriah,

00:50:55you made me realize that it might be

00:50:57time for this old dog to learn some

00:51:00new tricks.

00:51:03So, I want to apologize.

00:51:05Tough love is the only way that I

00:51:06know, but if it wasn't for you

00:51:08two, I would have never reopened

00:51:11Chase University.

00:51:12Hell, when I heard Kel call out for

00:51:13me the day that I emptied out my

00:51:14classroom, in my darkest of days, I

00:51:17felt a glimmer of hope, and I don't

00:51:20want to lose sight of that.

00:51:22So, Kel, next week, I got you a

00:51:24singles match.

00:51:26Hey!

00:51:28And while I know my methods aren't

00:51:30for everyone, I do want to be

00:51:32better, if you boys will allow it.

00:51:34Mr. Chase, thank you.

00:51:37Apology accepted.

00:51:39Come on.

00:51:40Bring it in.

00:51:40A hug?

00:51:41Bring it in.

00:51:42Give it.

00:51:43Wow.

00:51:44Hey, Mr. Chase, it's never too late

00:51:45to grow.

00:51:46It's breaking those toxic patterns,

00:51:48you know what I mean?

00:51:50Kel, Uriah and I will be out there

00:51:51with you.

00:51:52Just promise that you'll listen to

00:51:53me and that you'll use what you've

00:51:55learned over the past few weeks to

00:51:56show them that you are.

00:51:59Can I say it?

00:52:00Is that toxic?

00:52:00I mean, 100% you can say it.

00:52:01Just with, you know, not act.

00:52:04Okay.

00:52:04And show them that you are

00:52:06Chase Utah.

00:52:08Whoa!

00:52:08Yes!

00:52:15You know, guys, I can only hope

00:52:17that Kale and Uriah finally

00:52:19smarten up and break free from

00:52:21Chase Utah because it's a sinking

00:52:22ship.

00:52:23It's a giant anchor.

00:52:24I'd ask Booker, but I already

00:52:25know what his answer would be.

00:52:26But right now, we understand that

00:52:27Kelly Kincaid is standing by with

00:52:29TNA wrestlers Joe Hendry and Mike

00:52:31Santana.

00:52:34Joe Hendry, we started the night

00:52:36off with a bang.

00:52:36You scored a victory over Wesley

00:52:38with surprise help from one of your

00:52:41opponents at Slammiversary.

00:52:43You, Mike Santana.

00:52:45Mike, I appreciate you coming out

00:52:47and helping to take care of the

00:52:48high rise, but check it.

00:52:50You and I are throwing hands in

00:52:51two and a half weeks at Slammiversary.

00:52:53But the reality is that we're united

00:52:56when it comes to defending TNA

00:52:57against guys like Trick and high

00:53:00rise.

00:53:00Well, from the desk of our GM Ava,

00:53:02you two will be teaming up next

00:53:04week to take on high rise.

00:53:06Well, look, Kelly, I don't think

00:53:07I'm going to get the invite to the

00:53:08Santana barbecue anytime soon.

00:53:10But you know what?

00:53:11That doesn't matter.

00:53:12We're completely different people,

00:53:13but we do have one thing in common,

00:53:15and that's a quest to bring back the

00:53:17TNA World Championship back to TNA.

00:53:22Well, as much as I believe, don't get

00:53:24too excited that Joe's a cornball.

00:53:27He reps TNA to the max.

00:53:30But let me make something real clear

00:53:31to you, Joe.

00:53:33I'm going to be the one that's bringing

00:53:34the TNA World title back home where

00:53:36it belongs.

00:53:37So get ready for Slammiversary.

00:53:40That job is fit for one man,

00:53:43and you're looking out.

00:53:45Either way, Slammiversary is right

00:53:47around the corner.

00:53:48But first, the Great American Bash,

00:53:50which will play host to the contract

00:53:51signing for the TNA World Championship

00:53:53between these two men and

00:53:56Trick Williams.

00:53:57Back to you, Vic.

00:53:59You got this.

00:53:59I believe in you.

00:54:01You're going to be the one to beat

00:54:02over them, and you're going to

00:54:03dethrone the ruler at the

00:54:05Great American Bash.

00:54:06I got it.

00:54:07For both of us.

00:54:08All right, let's go, brother.

00:54:09Let's...

00:54:10I got this.

00:54:14Good luck, man.

00:54:15I believe in you.

00:54:16You can do it.

00:54:19Well, we are settled in

00:54:21for what is going to be a fight.

00:54:45The following is the NXT Championship

00:54:50number one contenders match.

00:54:55Introducing first,

00:55:03of LFG,

00:55:04Jesper Troy.

00:55:07This matchup is presented by

00:55:09Progressive.

00:55:10Troy takes on Inamora

00:55:12with an NXT title match

00:55:13at the Great American Bash

00:55:15on the line next.

00:55:22Oh, Izzy, we did it!

00:55:24Incredible victory tonight, ladies.

00:55:26Tatum, you are starting to look like

00:55:27one of the family out there.

00:55:28You are.

00:55:29Really?

00:55:29I saw the chemistry developing.

00:55:31See?

00:55:31It was good to see.

00:55:32Thank you, guys!

00:55:33Ava!

00:55:33Ladies, congrats on your win tonight.

00:55:35You guys are clicking pretty fast

00:55:37as a drag team.

00:55:37It's easy to do

00:55:38when you know a friend

00:55:39has your back.

00:55:40And I love that for you.

00:55:42Izzy, I came here to tell you

00:55:43that because you consult tonight,

00:55:45you'll face her

00:55:46for the Women's North American title

00:55:47at the Great American Bash.

00:55:49Yes!

00:55:49Izzy, that is incredible!

00:55:51It is incredible.

00:55:52Damn, time, Tatum!

00:55:54I couldn't have done this without you!

00:55:56It was dead!

00:55:58Come on!

00:55:59We get jumped from behind last week

00:56:01and the only evidence

00:56:02is a black steel chair!

00:56:03Why did the ones

00:56:04with your tools carry on?

00:56:06Why?

00:56:11Why?

00:56:12I know my new friends

00:56:14would never do something like that!

00:56:16And if you two are so big and bad,

00:56:18why don't you put those titles

00:56:19on the line next week?

00:56:21How convenient!

00:56:21You got it!

00:56:23When we didn't hit first,

00:56:23but damn sure

00:56:24we're going to hit last!

00:56:25All right, all right, listen!

00:56:28If you guys are fine with that,

00:56:30you can put the titles

00:56:30on the line next week.

00:56:32Okay, see you!

00:56:33See you!

00:56:34See you!

00:56:35See you!

00:56:36See you!

00:56:36Come on!

00:56:37Come on!

00:56:37Look at those of mine!

00:56:39Come on!

00:56:40Come on!

00:56:41I wish you would!

00:56:43I wish you would!

00:56:45Look, guys,

00:56:46there is never a dull moment

00:56:55and his opponent

00:56:57weighed 200

00:56:58at 42 pounds,

00:57:01Yoshiki Inamura!

00:57:06Corey, are you ready for this?

00:57:09Some human demolition derby?

00:57:11I hope they reinforce the ring

00:57:13for this one

00:57:14because these are two heavy hitters.

00:57:17Yoshiki Inamura,

00:57:18who was bold enough

00:57:19to step up in the face

00:57:20of Omifemi

00:57:21and say,

00:57:22I want a shot

00:57:22at the ruler!

00:57:24Unfortunately for Yoshiki,

00:57:26Jasper Troy

00:57:26believes he has

00:57:28unfinished business as well.

00:57:30This one's too close to call.

00:57:32Look at the eyes

00:57:32on Jasper Troy.

00:57:34You know what he's thinking?

00:57:35This is the biggest deal

00:57:37I'm about to eat.

00:57:39That's what he's thinking.

00:57:40Well, you know,

00:57:40we've heard from his coach

00:57:42on LFG, obviously.

00:57:43Corey, I want to get your thoughts.

00:57:45How scary truly can Troy be?

00:57:47I think the sky is the limit

00:57:49and beyond.

00:57:50I mean, to use a cliche,

00:57:52Jasper Troy

00:57:52with terrifying athleticism.

00:57:55Cover!

00:57:55To a man of his size.

00:57:57And Booker, correct me

00:57:58if I'm wrong.

00:57:59I don't think I'm out of line

00:58:00by saying Jasper Troy

00:58:01sort of reminds me

00:58:02of someone you're familiar with

00:58:03in your TNA days.

00:58:04The Monster Abyss.

00:58:06Yes.

00:58:06But sort of a modern era

00:58:07of faster,

00:58:08maybe even a little bit bigger.

00:58:09If you look at this guy,

00:58:11Jasper Troy,

00:58:12he's 6'5",

00:58:13300 pounds,

00:58:15and that's down

00:58:16from 330.

00:58:17That tells me

00:58:18this dude is serious, man.

00:58:19Another cover,

00:58:20hook of the leg,

00:58:21and a kick out.

00:58:22It's time to take a look

00:58:22at tonight's NXT recap

00:58:24presented by Progressive.

00:58:26You know,

00:58:27Booker kind of touched on it earlier.

00:58:28I mean,

00:58:28just think

00:58:29about what Jasper Troy

00:58:31did to Obafemi

00:58:32in the first meetup.

00:58:33What he could do

00:58:35to Obafemi

00:58:36at the Great American Bash.

00:58:38I mean,

00:58:39it's downright scary.

00:58:40And Booker,

00:58:41are you still even

00:58:41questioning Inamora's

00:58:43thought process

00:58:44after the last several months?

00:58:45You're damn right.

00:58:46I'm wondering

00:58:46what the hell

00:58:47is he thinking

00:58:48getting in the ring

00:58:49with this monster,

00:58:51Jasper Troy.

00:58:52And let me tell you right now,

00:58:53Jasper,

00:58:54it's about business.

00:58:56It's about putting food

00:58:57on the table,

00:58:58which makes this dude

00:58:59very dangerous.

00:59:00It's about honor

00:59:01for Yoshiki Inamora

00:59:02who wants to go back

00:59:03someday to Japan

00:59:04with a story

00:59:05to be proud of

00:59:06with a list of accolades

00:59:08a mile long.

00:59:09And trust me,

00:59:09Booker,

00:59:10you know Inamora

00:59:10has a sumo background.

00:59:12Yoshiki's no stranger

00:59:13to mixing it up

00:59:14with some heavy hitters,

00:59:16heavy dudes

00:59:16like Jasper Troy.

00:59:18Look at this.

00:59:18That is fighting spirit.

00:59:20That's what this is about.

00:59:21And it was Inamora

00:59:22who went back to Japan

00:59:23only to realize

00:59:25the things he missed

00:59:26as he right now

00:59:27is taking it to Troy.

00:59:29Big elbow to the chest.

00:59:30Into the cover

00:59:31to get to the

00:59:32Great American Bash

00:59:33in the kickout.

00:59:34He missed his tag team partner.

00:59:35He missed this brand.

00:59:36He missed the passion

00:59:37of the fans.

00:59:37He wants to pay them back

00:59:39by becoming

00:59:39the NXT champion

00:59:41in Atlanta.

00:59:43Listen,

00:59:44Yoshiki Inamora

00:59:45able to settle in now,

00:59:46strategize a little bit better

00:59:47after weathering

00:59:48the early storm

00:59:49of Jasper Troy.

00:59:51And speaking of

00:59:52the NXT champion,

00:59:53there you see

00:59:53Obafemi

00:59:54looking on.

00:59:56He will face

00:59:56one of these two men

00:59:58in Atlanta

00:59:58at the Great American

01:00:00Bash.

01:00:01And he's going to have

01:00:02to be ready

01:00:03for two absolute

01:00:04powerhouses

01:00:05as Inamora

01:00:06in control.

01:00:07We saw several weeks ago

01:00:09Obafemi

01:00:09just barely

01:00:10getting past

01:00:11Jasper Troy.

01:00:12Oba has yet to

01:00:13mix it up properly

01:00:14with Yoshiki Inamora.

01:00:15And Inamora right now,

01:00:17nothing fancy.

01:00:17Side headlock

01:00:18just trying to

01:00:19wear down

01:00:20Jasper Troy.

01:00:21And this is where

01:00:22that sumo power,

01:00:23that background

01:00:24of Inamora plays in.

01:00:25He can wear you down.

01:00:26He's incredibly powerful.

01:00:28You ever seen

01:00:28a sumo train, Vic?

01:00:30I have not.

01:00:30It's unbelievable.

01:00:31I had the honor

01:00:32of being invited

01:00:32to a dojo

01:00:33many years back

01:00:34in Japan.

01:00:34And you want to talk

01:00:35about some intense,

01:00:37powerful training.

01:00:38These guys,

01:00:38I mean,

01:00:39some of them

01:00:39are strong enough

01:00:40to flip cars.

01:00:41And that's no exaggeration.

01:00:42Let me tell you right now,

01:00:43Inamora's just

01:00:43hanging on for dear life

01:00:45right now.

01:00:45Trying to buy some time.

01:00:47That's the way I see it.

01:00:48I don't know

01:00:49what the hell

01:00:50you talking about,

01:00:51Graves.

01:00:51Oh, Graves is

01:00:53this way you're

01:00:54just saluting to.

01:00:55Just watch and learn,

01:00:55my friend.

01:00:59Kasper might have

01:01:00a second pass.

01:01:01Yeah, and there goes

01:01:02Inamora.

01:01:03There we go.

01:01:04Inamora coming back in.

01:01:05Oh, no.

01:01:06Big sidewalk slam.

01:01:07This is America.

01:01:08This way to Japan.

01:01:10Way to the cover.

01:01:10Look at the leg.

01:01:12Well, it's all about

01:01:12the American dream.

01:01:13And one of these men

01:01:14may be headed

01:01:15to the Great American Bash

01:01:16to achieve that dream

01:01:17becoming

01:01:18the NXT champion.

01:01:20Well, listen,

01:01:21they got monsters

01:01:22in Japan too, Booker.

01:01:23Think about it.

01:01:24Godzilla.

01:01:25More Tensai.

01:01:27Giant Bernard

01:01:29has Inamora

01:01:30looking down

01:01:30in control.

01:01:31Who is headed

01:01:32to Atlanta?

01:01:33Who's gonna face

01:01:34Obafemi?

01:01:39Oh.

01:01:43Got all of it.

01:01:47Obafemi said he would

01:01:48relish a fight

01:01:49with someone

01:01:50who shares

01:01:50his warrior spirit.

01:01:52And these two

01:01:53certainly fit

01:01:54the bill, Graves.

01:01:55This is incredible

01:01:56physicality

01:01:57on both sides.

01:01:58Here comes Troy.

01:01:59Big splash.

01:02:01Sending a message.

01:02:02You ain't got to worry

01:02:03about this dude

01:02:04right this monster.

01:02:05You ain't got to worry

01:02:06about him

01:02:06pulling the trigger.

01:02:07Oh, yes, man.

01:02:09Third time.

01:02:10Will it be the charm?

01:02:10Looking for a three.

01:02:12And a kick out.

01:02:13Not quite yet.

01:02:15Inamora still

01:02:15with some fight left.

01:02:16Booker,

01:02:17is Troy the first man

01:02:19you've seen

01:02:20put doubt

01:02:20in the mind

01:02:21of Obafemi?

01:02:22Yeah, I mean

01:02:22because he stands

01:02:23you know,

01:02:24six foot five.

01:02:24He goes toe to toe

01:02:26with a man like

01:02:27Obafemi.

01:02:28Oba has to know

01:02:29that he's beatable.

01:02:30He's beatable.

01:02:31He's been there before.

01:02:32And this man,

01:02:33this man,

01:02:34Jasper Troy

01:02:34could stop him

01:02:35at the gate.

01:02:36Jasper Troy

01:02:37told the universe

01:02:38the day he signed

01:02:39his contract

01:02:40into the cover.

01:02:40another hook

01:02:41of the leg

01:02:42that he would

01:02:43make an impact.

01:02:44And Grave,

01:02:45this man has not lied.

01:02:46No doubt about it.

01:02:47Jasper Troy

01:02:48called his shot

01:02:49and he's delivered

01:02:50everything just short

01:02:51of becoming

01:02:52NXT champion.

01:02:53And as we've been

01:02:54talking about

01:02:54through the duration

01:02:55of this match,

01:02:56Troy pushed the ruler

01:02:57to his limit.

01:02:58We thought on

01:02:59multiple occasions

01:03:00we were going to have

01:03:01a new kingpin

01:03:01in NXT

01:03:02named Jasper Troy.

01:03:03And if you even

01:03:04go back to last week,

01:03:06he dropped in Amora.

01:03:07He got back

01:03:08in the face

01:03:09of Obafemi

01:03:09and said,

01:03:10we are not done

01:03:11as now Jasper Troy

01:03:12may be looking

01:03:13for an abdominal

01:03:13stretch of sorts.

01:03:15In Amora

01:03:15doing a nice job

01:03:16of trying to counter.

01:03:17Round and round

01:03:17they go.

01:03:18In Amora

01:03:18finally breaks the hole

01:03:20and gets a little bit

01:03:21of separation.

01:03:22Great action

01:03:22right there

01:03:23from In Amora

01:03:23just to keep

01:03:24his feet moving.

01:03:26And listen,

01:03:27I'm going to be honest,

01:03:28maybe I overestimated

01:03:29In Amora

01:03:29because In Amora

01:03:30is looking like

01:03:31he's in a world

01:03:32of trouble right now

01:03:33and he desperately

01:03:33needs a few moments

01:03:35to recompose himself.

01:03:36I don't necessarily

01:03:37think you're wrong,

01:03:38Graves,

01:03:38but I think that also

01:03:39just goes to the power

01:03:40that Jasper Troy possesses.

01:03:42I agree with that,

01:03:43but wait a minute,

01:03:43wait a minute,

01:03:44maybe I am wrong.

01:03:45Here comes In Amora

01:03:46teeing off

01:03:47on the big man.

01:03:48There is that warrior spirit.

01:03:50One more shot,

01:03:51but Jasper Troy

01:03:52rising up like someone

01:04:01Big boss man slam

01:04:03into the cover

01:04:04and In Amora

01:04:06Jasper Troy was so close.

01:04:11at just how close.

01:04:13Around we go,

01:04:14nearly put through

01:04:15the center of the ring.

01:04:16You call it a boss man slam.

01:04:18That would have gone black hole.

01:04:20Either way,

01:04:21almost the end

01:04:22of Yosuke In Amora.

01:04:23In Amora

01:04:24get that on his feet

01:04:24right there
