00:00:00Forever.
00:00:08Together.
00:00:14NXT Universe is ready.
00:00:18Huge implications tonight for two championships as I welcome you to NXT.
00:00:30Right now, Cali Armstrong is standing on 10 toes in the center of the ring.
00:00:38Oh, yeah!
00:00:42NXT Universe, I got something to say.
00:00:47Hey, I don't call myself the Difference Maker for no reason.
00:00:53Last week was crazy, man.
00:00:55It really got to me.
00:00:57I was watching Great American Bash and I saw Kendall Gray finally win the NXT Women's Championship.
00:01:09I heard y'all cheering.
00:01:11I heard the chants.
00:01:13I heard y'all saying how much she deserves it.
00:01:18And as I was thinking, the only thing that went through my mind was, there's my target.
00:01:27I mean, but can you blame me?
00:01:29That's what got all y'all talking right now.
00:01:32I mean, hell, that seemed like the only way I could get some appreciation around here.
00:01:39That seemed like the only way.
00:01:41I mean, I've been in the locker rooms.
00:01:44I've heard it all.
00:01:45I've heard chicks crying about how they don't get no opportunities.
00:01:52Then I've seen other chicks get opportunities and blow it.
00:01:57So the Difference Maker, Callie Armstrong, create her opportunities.
00:02:03As soon as I flipped on Kendall Gray, every single last one of y'all was no longer talking
00:02:09about the new champ.
00:02:12Y'all know who y'all was talking about?
00:02:14Go ahead.
00:02:15Guess who y'all was talking about?
00:02:17Me.
00:02:19Y'all was talking about Callie Armstrong straight like that.
00:02:24And let's keep it 100.
00:02:27We all know that it wasn't a matter of if Callie runs this women's division.
00:02:32It was just a matter of when.
00:02:35But I'm tired of waiting.
00:02:37I'm ready to get what I deserve.
00:02:38I'm ready to get that NXT Women's Championship.
00:02:42And I don't even care who bring it to me.
00:02:44I don't care if it's Kendall or Natty.
00:02:47Because I got something for both them raggedy heifers regardless.
00:03:01Hola, NXT.
00:03:05Callie, callate la boca and slow your roll.
00:03:12You think just because you jumped Kendall, you did something and you're up next?
00:03:19I am.
00:03:22Mama, in my eyes, that doesn't make you the difference maker.
00:03:26It makes you impatient.
00:03:30And before you make all these championship plans, remember that Lola Vice still hasn't gotten her rematch.
00:03:38Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:03:39So I'll be watching tonight and I don't care who wins it because I'm getting my title back, baby.
00:03:47Hey, man.
00:03:49Slow your horses, Mamacita.
00:03:51This ain't even about you.
00:03:52This about me.
00:03:54I'm gonna be out there watching a match and I'm gonna be next in line to get a title.
00:04:05Are you guys serious right now?
00:04:08I'm standing back there listening to you guys argue who's next in line for the NXT Women's Championship.
00:04:13And I can't help but think, based on what?
00:04:19Lola, you lost at the bash, womp womp.
00:04:23And Callie, I don't hate the way that you're moving, but you attacked Kendall from behind because you couldn't earn
00:04:31your way to her face.
00:04:33And somehow both of you think you're entitled to a championship match?
00:04:37I don't think so.
00:04:41Last week, I did what you're supposed to do and earn opportunities.
00:04:46I beat Tatum Paxley and proved just why I'm the standout.
00:04:51And yet, like always, no one's talking about me.
00:04:57Everyone is more concerned about poor little Tatum Paxley.
00:05:03And then we have you two who think you deserve the match that I deserve for three years.
00:05:08Like what?
00:05:09Hello, I feel like a broken record because I am.
00:05:13Because the conversation about who's next in line for the NXT Women's Championship revolves around me.
00:05:20I'm sick and tired of you.
00:05:22will make a statement.
00:05:22Oh yeah!
00:05:24Here we go!
00:05:26The tension is certainly rising and, oh, well, the difference maker showing you why.
00:05:40Our general manager Robert Stone told Armstrong to step up and make a statement, and two weeks in a row,
00:05:47she certainly has.
00:05:55there you see the low-key legend looking to add another title to her trophy case to do so
00:06:01she must dethrone kendall gray gray's first championship defense of her nxt women's title
00:06:07happens tonight in our main event on nxt but also tonight these four women have a huge opportunity
00:06:15in front of them which woman will win our fatal four-way number one contenders match who will be
00:06:21next to challenge zarya for the nxt women's north american championship
00:06:45the following is the nxt tag team championship fatal four-way number one contenders match
00:06:54introducing first representing dark state cuddler james and osiris griffin
00:07:04but can dark state reinstill fear into nxt i don't know but i mean honestly you know what
00:07:10it's hard to say it's hard to say losing that momentum is something you wonder if you can get
00:07:24back
00:07:29next bronco nema lucia price
00:07:33oh what a way to kick off the night the first of two fatal four-way number one contender matches
00:07:46here on nxt these two teams have a long-standing issue with one another but which of these four
00:07:55teams will emerge the new number one contender for the nxt tag team titles
00:08:09is this duo the hardest one to prepare for i mean really they're the unknown booker
00:08:14legacies but dudes i like these guys man hell of a team hell of a team look at the bodies
00:08:22i see you i see you bud dude
00:08:27oh
00:08:28oh
00:08:28oh
00:08:29oh
00:08:30oh
00:08:30oh
00:08:31oh
00:08:33oh
00:08:35oh
00:08:35oh
00:08:35oh
00:08:35oh
00:08:35oh
00:08:49and their opponents representing birthright
00:09:02or will birthright be the new number one contenders to the nxt tag team titles
00:09:22how close is birthright to total domination of nxt i can tell you this birthright feels it's
00:09:30their birthright to be in this position i'm talking about to have a shot the tag team
00:09:35championship goal is something i'm sure i'm sure they're jumping at the pit to get in that in that
00:09:41fashion i'll get your thought on who is your favorite to win this match up to challenge
00:09:47vanity project for the nxt tag team titles i don't know who the favorite is or anything like that
00:09:51but the team i like is otm straight up out the mud okay looking for an opportunity the guys i
00:09:57think
00:09:58who's the more hungry otm that that's just my opinion well otm darkson have had their issues
00:10:03in the past those dealings though came with saquan sugars in the group as we see brocco nemo
00:10:09right now charging in to big osiris it was a big guy but osiris is huge man
00:10:16oh oh come in right here oh quick oh beautiful action how tough is it to prepare booker for
00:10:25these sort of matchups singles or tag look at a guy like sean legacy i mean the kid can fly
00:10:30anything in the ring you look at guy like fun dude who definitely has a lower center of gravity and
00:10:36a
00:10:36lot of muscle a team like this could definitely go pretty far in nxt beautiful shot kicked there by
00:10:42first team to score a decision will win no disqualifications
00:10:46check it in stax lorenzo stax a former two-time nxt tag team champion as legacy just got picked up
00:10:55by
00:10:55bronco nema osiris strength over birthright and legacy inadvertently took out osiris as bronco stayed
00:11:03on his feet ran into the corner stax run a little interference nema brawl bronco not gonna like that
00:11:09bronco nebo just just manhandling that point right there oh got caught though by legacy
00:11:16and legacy now with that tag in comes dorian van dukes this was talking about earlier are they the team
00:11:22that's hardest to prepare for into the cover and i mean that just to the lack of time as a
00:11:26team
00:11:26that certainly would help them because they're not allowed to scout there it is you don't know a lot
00:11:30about dukes and legacy and i'm gonna tell you right now you're gonna find out about a lot about it
00:11:35because they got a chance they got a chance to win this matchup and wall of death oh getting dropped
00:11:43with stacks is there you see saquon sugars looking on obviously he's got a keen eye on this matchup due
00:11:50to
00:11:50the dark state you see him with a baseball bat you say sugar's on the baseball bat where's he going
00:11:56he's a sugar man stacks are running right in got caught and look at the strength nice inadvertent
00:12:03backbreaker into stacks dukes just ran in he's getting manhandled and lucian price tagging in for
00:12:09otf the duo you think is walking away victorious tonight
00:12:15oh my god is coming into their own and the thing is well i got an educate now i'm looking
00:12:21at the work
00:12:21that these guys are doing oh like that right there big come on man two for one special
00:12:27will make them number one contenders in color james breaking things up
00:12:32didn't win the battle sunday but certainly it was dark state
00:12:38last sunday the great american bash they left their mark on saquon sugars who we just saw and
00:12:46start to wonder when you're looking at everything with dark state they got to figure out a way to
00:12:51start getting back to what they were first fearful of when they arrived here that was striking fear in
00:12:58the hearts of everyone that was making their point because right now they just got taken down
00:13:02right now they're getting covered right now lucian price trying to turn things around
00:13:05and dark state right now they're the only team that's not standing
00:13:11just be getting there and getting shots in and getting out real quick but right now legacy
00:13:19and that's what cutler james has to get back to this is what dark state has to get back to
00:13:24seek and destroy human demolition derby they're gonna do it is my force pick nobody's gonna give it to
00:13:32them now dark state is not in a position to sneak up on anybody anymore they're just gonna have to
00:13:37right there they take it just like that come to james come james moving quick
00:13:43and now sean legacy not moving at all off the boot into the cover
00:13:50get the shots in taking the shots getting in and getting out quickly i like that for the young man
00:14:00yes it's all forthright right now which team will emerge victorious
00:14:10four teams one golden opportunity awaiting the winner of this matchup will face vanity project
00:14:19for the nxt tag team title still another four-way number one contendership match still to come
00:14:26from izzy dame lizzy rain leila diggs zarya for the nxt women's north american championship and
00:14:36right now dark state is in country and he's special just rolled out i got a question you can uh
00:14:43throwing things towards our general manager did robert stone get it right in terms of the teams that
00:14:48were selected you know i agree with uh robert stone it's towards these teams right here vying for
00:14:52a tag team title shot of me these teams definitely earned they earned and the thing is like oh my
00:15:00god i
00:15:01don't know if that was a spear or a forearm but it certainly looked like a shot to the liver
00:15:05of stacks
00:15:07legacy just letting the big ddt right there on color as well and all four men are down
00:15:13and this could be that moment otm has been waiting for
00:15:17otm definitely looking to get that tag and get in here right now he's so close he'll come there we
00:15:23go
00:15:24talking about tonight the other four-way match up as dukes flying in while taking a deeper look
00:15:30into the evil of noraku for everything that happened last week first from this then with the chair
00:15:37dropping tony d'angelo as van dukes dropping bronco nema he's legal who else is legal big legal
00:15:45that's up for derek sander's time it's too fast for us to even figure out who's legal who's not legal
00:15:50as i mentioned earlier i would be willing to bet though bronco nema is legal bronco
00:15:53is legal i saw the the text with tag made right now it's i'm still wondering if
00:16:01i think he is i think connor's legal for his team as well and osiris is the legal superstar
00:16:07for dark state connor's getting turned inside out bronco nema oh man dukes coming dorian
00:16:15telegraph just got rocked gotta start thinking about the champions right now bandy projects
00:16:21as bronco nema continuing into the cover to become number one contenders connor saving it who don't the
00:16:29champions want to see standing across let me tell you something demanding the project i don't
00:16:33think they're running from anybody i don't think they're thinking about who's going to be the next
00:16:37contenders i think those guys are ready for whoever steps up to the plate oh
00:16:47falling into stacks to break the count as this matchup is going to continue on dukes
00:16:53but dukes just in the right place at the right time to break that count
00:16:58still has a chip in the game got caught though by cyrus dvd might have just chipped a tooth as
00:17:05now
00:17:05everything's starting to break down now we really don't know who's legal who's illegal in this matchup
00:17:10as osiris taking to the outside otm wiping out all the dark state but wiping out themselves in the process
00:17:17and we know the issues between those four run deep as stacks just landed a big shot
00:17:24textbook tag right there mage fires legal and it could be that moment for birthright
00:17:30to become number one content no no no no no no no no
00:17:40combination offense highly effective but dvd that just let you know how much fun dukes really
00:17:48want this because i'm gonna tell you right now that should have been a three count big this match
00:17:52should be over with winners will face the champions next week by the way live on nxt here on a
00:17:59tuesday
00:17:59and getting dropped over the top rope is connor stacks coming right back in he's going to the top
00:18:03he's going to try his luck and stats just slipped all the way to the floor and you got to
00:18:09think about
00:18:09all the action in this matchup everybody's slipping and sliding body's starting to sweat it's hot here
00:18:16in florida and it's a double moonsault from legacy and dvd
00:18:22throwing all caution to the wind right now is connor's the only one for birthright that's standing
00:18:28doing it all for his squad wiping out the field i love it man i love it everyone down
00:18:37except for osiris he's not gonna do this osiris is not gonna do this
00:18:43oh my god

00:20:11dorian van duke
00:20:13it was hectic
00:20:18it was it was chaotic it was everything we thought it would be and more osiris
00:20:24and he's got some springs
00:20:26so he's got some springs
00:20:27saquon came down he was trying to intervene
00:20:29dion lennox though from dark state
00:20:31came out to even the odds
00:20:37and the odds slung into the favor of the unknown team
00:20:41of dorian van duke and sean legacy who used some high-flying aerial insanity to punch their ticket
00:20:49to next week because it is now official can this duo end the party for vanity project tag team titles
00:20:59to be defended next week live on nxt
00:21:06time for tonight's nxt spotlight
00:21:13i ain't gonna lie to y'all
00:21:16nattie's in my head
00:21:18she got me feeling like i don't know who i am man i am so damn bad i got myself
00:21:22trapped in a
00:21:22sharpshooter and i did the one thing in my career i have never experienced
00:21:26experience i quit but after looking at myself in the mirror i realized i got one to two choices
00:21:33i could be who natty wants me to be or i could just be jada parker and from the looks
00:21:37of it you
00:21:38know which choice i made because i got that dub against carmen that's one down you want me to be
00:21:43just
00:21:44like you but you ain't the type of legend that i'm looking up to if anything baby i should be
00:21:49thanking
00:21:49you it was never about me being soft it was about me being this close to where i want to
00:21:54be
00:21:56it's funny because you want to tell people you came to nxt for me
00:22:01you came to nxt to make your stale ass career relevant again and congratulations you did it
00:22:07you beat me you got the job done and you are more relevant than you have been in years
00:22:12and now you have the opportunity for the nxt women's championship so it looks like we both
00:22:18trying to level up but in order for me to do that i have to go to a place you
00:22:22have never been
00:22:23i gotta put you down natty and i will i promise you i'm gonna see you soon clock that
00:22:34a lot of animosity from jada parker but a lot of animosity in the blood of tank ledger he's looking
00:22:40to get
00:22:40one back for his tag team partner hank walker ledger keanu carver one-on-one next
00:22:51saquon we saw you earlier for the first time since dark state's brutal attack after your win
00:22:56over deon lennox that great american bash but it feels like you didn't go after them the way
00:23:01that you intended to why is that emily them boys put a ruse on me man cutty and osiris hobbled
00:23:08down
00:23:08that ramp licking they wounds while i was fighting deon then they want to hop on me after the bell
00:23:12after i get the dub again i guess y'all did learn a little something from me but and when
00:23:19i look like
00:23:19getting my lick back now you feel me i gotta move smart i'm playing chess they playing hungry hippo
00:23:24all i had to do was pull up and i got them shaking in they spandex they lost they opportunity
00:23:29but i
00:23:30understand they uh they back to full strength now it's three verse one i can't exactly pick
00:23:35them off like i did before but i understand one thing this whole dark state situation ain't over
00:23:42i'ma had to find some friends or something because it's getting jod difficult and i ain't done we spend
00:23:47a whole year making nothing but enemies in that locker room nobody back there wants to look at me
00:23:51twice right now so i guess i'ma had to shake some hands kiss a couple babies you know show the
00:23:57world that
00:23:58i've changed and hope that they believe me but no matter who i find dark state's gonna learn one
00:24:03thing i'm up next they're up never and it don't get no sweeter than that thank you saquon
00:24:12what is really on the mind of saquon sugars
00:24:22the following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first representing hank and tank tank
00:24:39tank out here not just fighting for himself fighting for his tag team partner
00:24:55you
00:25:28And his opponent from Washington, D.C., bring in at 295, Keanu Carver!
00:25:38It's been an interesting few weeks for this individual.
00:25:42Let's go back to the great American match.
00:25:45This was Keanu Carver who was not very happy, did not want to calm down, his emotions are better of
00:25:51him.
00:25:51But there you see Hank Walker flying off the stage through a table all because of this man.
00:25:59And then what would his partner do? What would Tate do?
00:26:01He would cost Keanu last week in a rematch against EK Prosper.
00:26:06These two angry, these two not very happy with one another.
00:26:10But answer me this, who the hell can control Carver?
00:26:15I mean, nobody, I mean, it's been proven.
00:26:17And I must say, Mr. Stone has some big decisions to make around here as far as Keanu Carver goes.
00:26:24Again, Carver putting Hank through that table outside the Performance Center just ruined the Great American Bash cookout tailgate party.
00:26:33Obviously, Carver didn't give a damn about what happened, but that has led to here and to now.
00:26:38Big shot, my God.
00:26:40I'm gonna tell you right now, big up for Tank Legend for stepping up and taking this fight.
00:26:45I agree.
00:26:46This is not a match right here, man.
00:26:48Whoa!
00:26:48This is a straight up fight, Carl.
00:26:51Well, look, how will Tank handle singles competition?
00:26:53I mean, he looks good right now, but this is his first singles match in over two years.
00:26:57It's not about singles competition like that.
00:26:59It's about representation, not just his partner, but that whole damn, that whole damn block of him.
00:27:06That whole head shield around Keanu Carlton, somebody gotta do something.
00:27:10Tank fired up.
00:27:11He has been fuming for well over a week, and you saw what he did last week.
00:27:16But right now, we just saw what Carver did.
00:27:20Pounce, pounce that boy right there.
00:27:22That's what that was, Victor.
00:27:24Carver who attacked the Kingo last week, ruined a championship match.
00:27:28You've been very vocal since the start of his career.
00:27:31Dating back to his time at LFG that this man cannot be contained.
00:27:35Yeah, I mean, I mean, his mode is aberr and I think he can strong warm his way all the
00:27:41way to the top.
00:27:42Oh!
00:27:42Of NXT, it's not, if that's what he's thinking, it's not gonna, it's not gonna work.
00:27:46But right now, he's putting it to this boy, Tank Lynch.
00:27:50One, two, three.
00:27:50Looking for the knockout blow, and look, this is also a man.
00:27:53And Keanu Carver who hummled Joe Hendry, who has sidelined opponents,
00:27:59who shows absolutely no remorse for anything that he does.
00:28:04Not rules for authority or anything like that.
00:28:06And I tell you, in a lot of ways, those are great attributes.
00:28:11But this guy gotta figure out how to find his way to have some kind of control if he wanna
00:28:17make it in this business.
00:28:18And I'm just saying that because I wanna see him making me.
00:28:21What a short arm clothesline.
00:28:24Big shot, big shot by Carver.
00:28:26We need guys like Carver in this business.
00:28:29You know why, you look at him, look at him, six foot four, 275 pounds of rope and
00:28:36stooping, grave digging, this drunken jack.
00:28:39Yes, we need that.
00:28:41Well, he obviously is not one to listen to authority.
00:28:45You obviously have gone against authority in the past.
00:28:48Yes. What should be done about Keanu Carver then, in your opinion?
00:28:51Like I said, that's not for me to say.
00:28:53I mean, Mr. Stone- I mean, you gotta have an idea.
00:28:55Mr. Stone and the higher ups, I'm unbiased.
00:28:58I'm a unbiased commentator sitting at the desk.
00:29:02Mr. Stone need to get with the higher ups and figure out if they're gonna do something.
00:29:07Big shot there by Carver, he played, yes.
00:29:12What a powerbomb.
00:29:14Wow.
00:29:14And if you look back to what happened moments ago, I think we should note the tape
00:29:18that is on the right knee of Keanu Carver.
00:29:21Cuz Carver's body buckled just ever so slightly in that moment.
00:29:27He's sending a message though right now.
00:29:29I don't know if there was a buckle of just the momentum of Carver trying to break that
00:29:32hammer down with all the momentum of it.
00:29:35Well, I start to wonder if maybe Tank realized it, and if Tank is gonna start
00:29:38targeting the lower body to take away a little bit of that strength from Keanu Carver.
00:29:42I don't think he noticed it if he did, but yes, here comes the man, here comes Tank.
00:29:47He's rolling, big shot on the front line, baby.
00:29:51And his short arm blows on in his armor.
00:29:53I wanna follow up on what I asked you earlier about being a singles competitor.
00:29:56What's the biggest issue moving from tag to singles competition?
00:30:00That's a easy one, not having that, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, here we go.
00:30:05Off the slot on, and another near fall, and I don't know what's gonna keep Carver down.
00:30:10Carver was already starting to rise when Tank was flying off the top.
00:30:14Talk about not having your partner there, not having that security blanket.
00:30:18That's the biggest obstacle that Tank Ledger's gonna go through, not having that.
00:30:22You can't do that in a match like that with Carver, you know what's not gonna happen.
00:30:30Carver just too big, too powerful, and another big elbow.
00:30:34I don't know if Tank's gonna win this full Nelson battle.
00:30:37I think Carver's just too big and too strong.
00:30:40Carver's definitely, oh, did you see that right there, Tank?
00:30:45I certainly did, I see Keanu getting right back to his feet.
00:30:49And a man that size shouldn't be throwing drop kicks.
00:30:52You got to be kidding.
00:30:53And again, overpowering.
00:30:57All muscles.
00:30:59Carver demolishes a Tank tonight.
00:31:03Here is your winner, Keanu Carver.
00:31:10Wow.
00:31:12That is a scary individual.
00:31:16Impressive, Vic.
00:31:17I mean, with ease, with absolute ease.
00:31:21Tank is a former defensive lineman at Northwestern in the Big Ten.
00:31:26And Carver just chucked him around like a football.
00:31:29The ball, though, is now in our general manager's court.
00:31:32What will Robert Stone do when it comes to Keanu Carver?
00:31:36Yo, man, Nick.
00:31:39In moments, we will take an inside look at NXT's most dangerous man,
00:31:44Carver.
00:31:45Next.
00:31:51Tony D'Angelo.
00:31:54Great American Bash that ended,
00:31:56I was able to take the victory,
00:31:58and I thought you could die as well.
00:32:02That's right.
00:32:04That's right.
00:32:04You won that day.
00:32:05But now, you've been unable to escape.
00:32:10You're my root for it.
00:32:13This is my soul to destroy the soul to destroy the soul of my ultimate.
00:32:20You said it, you said it was about to protect NXT Championship.
00:32:25You should do whatever it was.
00:32:27Then tell me, Tony.
00:32:30You're going to be able to die.
00:32:38炎はよ、すでにお前の心を降り始めてるよな。
00:32:45俺はよ、お前の進むべき道をすでに闇で覆い隠している。
00:32:52そしてこの先に待っている者は、さらなる拷問とさらなる苦痛だ。
00:32:59トニー、お前、俺のキャリアについて調べたらしいな。
00:33:05だけどな、お前はまだ何も分かっちゃいない。
00:33:09俺が何をできる男で、そして、
00:33:15NXTチャンピオンになることも含めてな。
00:33:16笑い声
00:33:19笑い声
00:33:20笑い声
00:33:22笑い声
00:33:26素晴らしい。
00:33:30俺のトニーは今まで何も気づきしました。
00:33:31笑い声
00:33:45俺のスペースを負ける
00:33:46anything Naraku threw at him. Lucky for him, thanks to Mason Rook, the Cam
00:33:50Hendricks health meter is at about 73.4% off. Maybe he's at a 72.8%.
00:33:58The health meter. That's hilarious. But when I'm at 100% Mason Rook, he's cooked.
00:34:02Oh, I bet he is. Yeah, he's right here.
00:34:06As well as right now, why am I hearing that you've been telling everyone I'm the
00:34:10one who put you on the shelf? Hey, that's exactly what he's doing right now. Is that
00:34:13so? Well, trust me, bud, if I was gonna put you on the shelf, your ass wouldn't be
00:34:16getting back up. I'm actually at like a 68.9%. Hey, I thought you were supposed to be my
00:34:20friend, Tate. You traitor. You're a bad friend. Tell your percentage, Justin, walk out. Hey, time and place. I've been
00:34:27dealing with him forever. I mean, I'm just a low-key legend that deserves everything,
00:34:34which is why getting the championship match against Kendall just means the
00:34:37world to me. And I mean, Layla, you have the biggest match of your career coming up
00:34:41next. Are you excited? I am. Thank you for the opportunity. I'm ready.
00:34:46Well, with that being said, I want the girls to go out there with you tonight and
00:34:49just have your back. We got you. We got you. Appreciate it, Natty, but I think I'm gonna do this
00:34:53on my own.
00:34:54Okay? Thanks. Okay, I'm gonna let that breathe, but you guys are gonna be out there with me, right?
00:35:00Of course. Okay. Perfect. As long as you guys are with me, that's fine. Yeah, we'll see you out there.
00:35:06Scream for me, Orlando! Tonight, NXT Universe, you are about to find out that Lizzie Ray and heavy metal will
00:35:17never, ever die!
00:35:28The following contest is the NXT Women's North American Championship Fatal Four-Way Number One Contenders match!
00:35:39Let's introduce you first for all of the England, Lizzie Ray!
00:35:45Why is your tongue out of your mouth?
00:35:48Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah, baby! I'm feeling good! You know why? You know why? It's about to rain, man! It's
00:35:58about to rain! I love rain!
00:36:01You really dig Lizzie Ray, don't you? Rock on, man! Rock on!
00:36:10What's my pick? What's my pick? What's my pick?
00:36:12I'm gonna pick away all wins up, all wins again!
00:36:16I won't never let me now, you won't watch me for
00:36:22I suggest you never take me, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:36:28no, no.
00:36:28Thea Hale!
00:36:31Well, you have to feel for Hale. I mean, what a moment, Booker, this could be for this woman to
00:36:38become the number one contender for a title. She won's Hale.
00:36:42Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale!
00:36:57Thea Hale! And so will this woman.
00:37:01But there is pain bringing it to light.
00:37:28Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale!
00:37:29Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale!
00:37:29Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale!
00:37:30Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale!
00:37:31Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! Thea Hale! The
00:37:36Four women, one opportunity here tonight to become the number one contender
00:37:42for the NXT Women's North American Championship.
00:37:45This matchup, who faces Zarya?
00:37:49Find out next.
00:37:59And there is the fourth woman in this matchup, Layla Diggs, Booker.
00:38:04How much potential does she have?
00:38:06I can dig it, I can dig it, you get the pun, you get the pun, I can dig it,
00:38:11I can dig it.
00:38:11Layla Diggs, I get it.
00:38:13Exactly, Layla Diggs, she's got a lot of talent, got a tinder, work with her on LFG,
00:38:18and I tell you, she's going to be a standout tonight.
00:38:20That's the question, is this going to be her night?
00:38:24Well, there we go.
00:38:25All four women, first one to gain a pinfall or submission will be victorious.
00:38:30Do you believe that Zarya's looking on right now scared of any of these four women?
00:38:36Let me tell you something, Zarya showed me something.
00:38:39She's not a follower, she's a leader, Vic, and she's all about going out there and winning.
00:38:45Well, Izzy Dame in control.
00:38:46Does it feel like this is Dame's night to step back into that championship protection?
00:38:52Big shot, he just got hit with a big shot on paper, one would think that, but you got Layla
00:38:57Diggs out here,
00:38:58you got Lizzy, Rayne, you got Thea Hale, who all are looking for the same thing, Vic.
00:39:03I'll tell you what, this is also your worst nightmare, Booker.
00:39:06What are you talking about?
00:39:07You got Lizzy and Izzy in the same match.
00:39:09I'm going to keep a counter going to see how many times you confused that one.
00:39:12I'm good, I got it written down right here.
00:39:14Head coming right back in, looking for the hip toss counter, Layla rolling right through.
00:39:18Nice job by Rayne, floating right over, Thea realizing it and kicking the leg out.
00:39:22Now she floats into a cover, look at the bridge, look at the core strength from Lizzy Rayne.
00:39:27Rayne now looking for the backslide, jockeying for position is Thea Hale.
00:39:31Hale, as I mentioned, knows what it's like to hold that North American title, a double kick out.
00:39:39There's one way to counter Layla Diggs.
00:39:41Layla Diggs was about to make a big, big splash if she could have got that, whoa, check her out.
00:39:46And Izzy from behind, the dangers of this fatal four-way.
00:39:51First time all four of these women have competed against each other.
00:39:55Beautiful work there, but Izzy Dane just moved him down, I love it, man.
00:40:02Izzy, as I mentioned, also knows what it's like to hold the women's North American title.
00:40:05Thea with a cover and a kick out, if you remember, it was Izzy who defeated Hale,
00:40:10answering an open challenge to become champion, but in comes Lizzy Rayne.
00:40:14She has her issues with the current North American champion, unfinished business with Zarya.
00:40:19No doubt, Lizzy has captured the NXT universe.
00:40:22Everyone, including Booker T, wants to rock out with Lizzy Rayne.
00:40:26Oh, baby.
00:40:26Cover, and a kick out.
00:40:28I'll tell you, that right there, that showed me something right there by Layla Diggs.
00:40:31That pin, that pinfall right there, just so unique, so different.
00:40:38A couple of chops here from Rayne, who's in control.
00:40:42Baby, rock up, whoa.
00:40:45I thought he was about to rock, man.
00:40:46Izzy just put a stop to that show for Lizzy.
00:40:49Now we're gonna use her strength counter, try to chop of her own right.
00:40:52And coming in, big springboard back elbow.
00:40:55Give it up for Lizzy, let me tell you something.
00:40:57You talk about an X Factor in this matchup right here, it's gotta be Lizzy Rayne.
00:41:02She seems to be more hungry in this matchup, Vic.
00:41:08Yes, did I tell you, did I tell you, did I tell you, did I tell you we're gonna make
00:41:12it ready?
00:41:12Get the dollars out, dawg.
00:41:17And look at Thea, looking for a slams, able to come, and again,
00:41:21one of that unique, innovative offense from Layla Diggs.
00:41:25And some would have questioned if Diggs was gonna regret, so to speak,
00:41:28not accepting Natty's help earlier, hit that gourd buster, trying to get into the cover.
00:41:34Izzy wisely rolls the outside, but there's Lizzy coming from behind, shoulders down.
00:41:38And another near fall.
00:41:40Gotta have eyes in the back of your head in a matchup like this right here.
00:41:42Let me tell you something, Lizzy Rayne is on a move, man.
00:41:48Oh, yes.
00:41:49Speaking of moving, Layla wiping out the field certainly might be an interesting choice not to accept the help.
00:41:54Wait a minute.
00:41:55But there comes Thea. Whoa, man.
00:41:59The bodies have hit the floor, except for Thea Hale.
00:42:03Are we looking at the next number one contender?
00:42:06Let's go!
00:42:08Oh, yeah!
00:42:10Who will be the number one contender to Zarya's Women's North American Championship?
00:42:15Izzy Dame looking for a superplex on Lizzy Rayne and got it.
00:42:20It seems that the reign has ended, but take a look at Thea, take a look at Layla.
00:42:26Double splash, double count.
00:42:29Do we have two?
00:42:30Ooh, we only got a two.
00:42:32I thought we were gonna have two possible number one contenders.
00:42:36What a match.
00:42:37All four of these women have laid it on the line.
00:42:40That was so close to being a controversial finish right there.
00:42:43Who would've won that?
00:42:45Who would've, I mean, who would've they, son?
00:42:47That would've been up to our general manager, Robert Stone.
00:42:50We've already seen Legacy and Dorian Van Dukes win earlier tonight.
00:42:54They are the number one contenders to the tag team titles as this starting to break down.
00:42:59And, you know, it didn't seem that Layla Diggs and Natty had the same views as Layla's out here by
00:43:05herself.
00:43:06Natty, Kendall Gray in our main event for the NXT Women's Championship here tonight.
00:43:10As Thea sidestepping Diggs, big kick dropping Diggs, and Thea is in control.
00:43:15Standing Moonsault, will it be enough?
00:43:18And Izzy from behind?
00:43:20Could've been a mistake not taking Natty's advice.
00:43:22I'm gonna tell you right now, Natty, if anybody, if anybody knows about this business,
00:43:28it's the Renaissance Woman, Natty.
00:43:30Yes, man.
00:43:31That could be a big night for the Culling.
00:43:33Baby.
00:43:35As Nico Vance will face Shiloh Hill later on tonight, but look at Thea go.
00:43:39World's littlest slam connects, rolling right through.
00:43:43Look at the balance, man.
00:43:46Highly caffeinated, ready to go, and got caught.
00:43:52And now, Izzy Dame again showcasing that power.
00:43:56And this is just the dangers of this sort of matchup.
00:43:59Thea Hill is out here to prove herself tonight, Vic.
00:44:01She's trying to prove that she belongs.
00:44:03She's trying to prove that she should be number one contender, Vic.
00:44:07That's what it's all about.
00:44:08What did you say earlier about doubling up?
00:44:10Double up.
00:44:11Yes.
00:44:11That was what Thea tried to do, and she got all that into the cover.
00:44:15And again, well, I was gonna say Izzy was trying to break up the cover, and
00:44:22inflicted more damage, got a cover in her own right.
00:44:25And we got another little stalemate here in this matchup.
00:44:29Oh, she's going for it, Vic.
00:44:31Trying to lock in that Kimura.
00:44:33But Layla, there you see, right in the back with a dropkick, picking her spot.
00:44:40No, no, that was just great ring awareness right there by Layla Diggs.
00:44:44The young star trying to make a name for herself tonight, Vic.
00:44:47Oh, what a kick.
00:44:49Oh, man.
00:44:50Reign back in control, and now enemies turning into cohorts.
00:44:54Oh, yes.
00:44:54Got caught.
00:44:55Oh, yes.
00:44:57Lizzy's in the driver's seat right now.
00:45:06What a match, and still to come, it's our main event.
00:45:09Kendall Gray getting ready to defend her championship for
00:45:12the first time against Natty.
00:45:15Who walks out with gold around their waist?
00:45:17Right now, though, in this four-way, who's walking out?
00:45:19Number one contender, listen to the NXT.
00:45:22Oh, caught her, Lizzy.
00:45:24Oh, yes.
00:45:25She's gonna do it.
00:45:26One, two, three.
00:45:27And Thea breaking it at the last moment.
00:45:30Boom.
00:45:31In comes Dame.
00:45:33Dame now.
00:45:34Right place at the right time, but just got caught with a big back elbow.
00:45:39In the wrong place there for a moment, and what a boot.
00:45:43And just like that, turning it around.
00:45:47Izzy wants that championship back.
00:45:49Whoa.
00:45:50Able to roll away from that kick, saw it coming.
00:45:53Smart right there by Izzy Dame to get out of the way, but right now,
00:45:56she's going for it.
00:45:57Big shot delivered.
00:46:00Layla telegraphing that kick may cost her, and Anthea breaking it up.
00:46:04I mean, this is showing you just how deep the women's division is here in NXT.
00:46:09It's all about fortitude.
00:46:10Who's gonna have the most in the tank?
00:46:13It's all about who's got the most heart in a matchup like this big one.
00:46:17But you gotta understand, there's something on the line.
00:46:19Number one contender, check it out.
00:46:21Man.
00:46:22Izzy was just rolling through the competition, hit that big chokeslam.
00:46:26But Thea Hale right now is the NXT universe trying to rally all four of these women.
00:46:29She seems to be maybe in somewhat of the driver's seat for a moment.
00:46:34The Hale has been looking great tonight in this matchup, Vic.
00:46:37She came in with the gameplay and the strategy.
00:46:41Let's see if she can pull it off.
00:46:42Do you think she can catch lightning in a bottle twice?
00:46:44I mean, come on, Vic.
00:46:45I mean, it's all about the work you put in right now.
00:46:48The Hale seems to be putting in.
00:46:50That ball just got caught, just got caught, big time.
00:46:54Yeah, I think that lightning not gonna get caught here tonight.
00:46:57And Izzy back in, she got caught by Rain.
00:47:00Rain got dropped with the Shining Wizard.
00:47:03Wait a minute.
00:47:03Thea into the Kimura.
00:47:05Wait a minute.
00:47:05Is Layla gonna tap?
00:47:07Is Thea gonna become the number one contender?
00:47:09Layla's gone.
00:47:11Layla trying to overpower, trying to make all that poolage from Natty.
00:47:14Who I'm sure has taught her how to get out of any sort of submission.
00:47:21Izzy running right over Thea again, trying to fall into the cover.
00:47:26And Lizzy from behind.
00:47:28Again, one of these women, it's the first one to get a pinfall or a submission.
00:47:32They will become the number one contender to the NXT Women's North American
00:47:38Championship.
00:47:39Everybody, everybody who gets match up right here is hungry, big, hungry for
00:47:42the goal, monkey for that number one spot.
00:47:45This thing may be, may never be over with the way it's going right now, big.
00:47:50What a forearm from Izzy.
00:47:52And we really have seen Izzy evolve.
00:47:55Obviously now leading The Culling.
00:47:57What do you make it, Dane, being the leader of The Culling with Nico Vance after giving
00:48:02a shot?
00:48:03I said it from the beginning.
00:48:04When Izzy Dane became a part of that crew, she became that legitimizer.
00:48:09Something I talk about all the time, so me, I'm not, I'm not surprised.
00:48:14I'm not surprised, Vic.
00:48:15Oh, well, Lizzy lifting up Izzy.
00:48:19Dane able to slide down the back, coming right back in and putting on the brakes for
00:48:24a moment.
00:48:24Oh, look at the quickness.
00:48:25Look at the quickness.
00:48:26And if you start to move around.
00:48:28And if you start to move around.
00:48:28There's only one woman that's going to be standing.
00:48:31That's going to be Lizzy Rain.
00:48:33Rain is in full control.
00:48:37Yeah.
00:48:38And got caught.
00:48:40Thea out of nowhere with a crucifix.
00:48:42Almost becomes the number one contender.
00:48:44Trying to get that Kimura on one more time.
00:48:47Shifting all the way around.
00:48:49Drop.
00:48:50Kick out.
00:48:52I tell you, Thea Hale has been on fire in this matchup, but just got caught.
00:48:58Just got caught.
00:49:00Understruck.
00:49:01Dane out of nowhere.
00:49:03And Dane's momentum carried it out of the ring.
00:49:06Booker, look at Layla.
00:49:08And to steal one of your phrases.
00:49:10Whoa.
00:49:10Can you dig it?
00:49:14Wow.
00:49:16Sucked up.
00:49:18Here is your winner and the new number one contender to the NXT Women's North American
00:49:25Championship, Layla Diggs.
00:49:29Diggs did it.
00:49:30Wow.
00:49:31Can you believe it?
00:49:33NXT Universe on their feet.
00:49:35What a matchup.
00:49:36All four of these women brought their best.
00:49:40I mean, it was one thing after another.
00:49:42The action, sometimes we couldn't even call it.
00:49:45Right here was that understruck kick right to the temple.
00:49:48And then Izzy would run in.
00:49:50Izzy thought she was in the driver's seat.
00:49:52But the momentum carried her to the outside.
00:49:54And then picture perfect for Layla Diggs.
00:49:57From an LFG to a ball here to NXT.
00:50:02And now, when you break it down, think about this one.
00:50:06I think it's gonna be.
00:50:15I think it's gonna be.
00:50:36Can you get it?
00:50:36Who knows which one of your favorites will be next.
00:50:39I don't enter the rain to survive.
00:50:42I enter to dominate.
00:50:44Every strike hits like thunder.
00:50:47Every step feels like an earthquake.
00:50:50And every victory leaving destruction behind.
00:50:53You are looking at a natural disaster with purpose.
00:50:59Remember my face.
00:51:00Because I am the first.
00:51:02I am the future.
00:51:03I am the force of nature.
00:51:05For Reina Volcano.
00:51:14Davion Ice.
00:51:17Davion, I already got something to say.
00:51:22Look.
00:51:23I wasn't going to come out here but.
00:51:26I was sitting backstage and I was just.
00:51:28Thinking about all the things I said before Great American Bash.
00:51:31And look.
00:51:33I've been a bad brother.
00:51:35But I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong.
00:51:38Now it's no secret.
00:51:40I could be cocky.
00:51:41I could be arrogant.
00:51:43But that's only because.
00:51:45That I know that I have what it takes to be great.
00:51:48Now when I came through those doors at NXT three years ago.
00:51:52As a former Olympian.
00:51:53Well I believe that I was the baddest man.
00:51:55In any room that I walked in.
00:51:57And I believe that.
00:51:58But this place humbled me.
00:52:02And I have not reached the heights that I want to reach yet.
00:52:07So when I saw Miles having all this success.
00:52:09Yeah that made me jealous.
00:52:11I saw Miles climbing.
00:52:14And I saw me being forgotten.
00:52:17Which is my biggest fear.
00:52:20And I let that fear blind me.
00:52:23So that being said.
00:52:25I've come out here tonight.
00:52:27To apologize to Miles.
00:52:29Man to man.
00:52:35Wait wait wait wait wait.
00:52:37Wait wait wait wait wait.
00:52:40How about.
00:52:42How about we start by apologizing to the guy.
00:52:46You screwed over a few weeks ago.
00:52:48Facts bro facts.
00:52:49And honestly.
00:52:50Robert Stone should apologize.
00:52:52To Dorian Van Du.
00:52:54And Shawn Legacy.
00:52:55For really letting those boys think they got a shot.
00:52:58At these NXT tag titles.
00:53:00That is ridiculous.
00:53:01He's setting those boys up for failure.
00:53:03For real.
00:53:03Two wins.
00:53:04And now those guys think that they have a chance.
00:53:06Against the Vanity Project.
00:53:07Come on.
00:53:09But hey.
00:53:11It's just another title defense to put on the resume boys.
00:53:14Smokes the list is getting longer bro.
00:53:17Yeah yeah yeah.
00:53:18Tavion.
00:53:21Miles.
00:53:21Low key genuinely.
00:53:24Handed you a shot at the North American Championship.
00:53:26On a silver platter.
00:53:28And you still fumbled the bag.
00:53:30There's no coming back from that bro.
00:53:32And by the way.
00:53:33I think you might have a little bit of trouble.
00:53:36Finding your way back to the top.
00:53:38Considering.
00:53:39Your biggest and most legitimate victory.
00:53:41Was a total fluke.
00:53:45Yes.
00:53:46Yes.
00:53:46Yes.
00:53:46And while we're on the subject.
00:53:48Everyone and their mother knows.
00:53:51You never would have beaten Jackson Drake.
00:53:53If it weren't for the help of Miles.
00:53:55And if it was me.
00:53:56And that championship match.
00:53:58I sure as hell.
00:53:59Wouldn't have pulled no Tavion Heights.
00:54:01So why are we talking hypotheticals then huh?
00:54:03If you want to get a rematch.
00:54:04We can do that.
00:54:05Whenever you like.
00:54:06Because the results.
00:54:07Are going to be the same Jackson.
00:54:09And I'll show you exactly why I'm the most dangerous thing walking.
00:54:13The peak performer.
00:54:15A weapon.
00:54:16And human form.
00:54:19Oh yeah.
00:54:20Oh yeah.
00:54:21I don't know if that was wise.
00:54:22There's no backup for KD.
00:54:24No, no, it wasn't.
00:54:25What are you talking about?
00:54:28Three out of one.
00:54:28What are you talking about?
00:54:29Wait a minute.
00:54:29What the hell is he doing?
00:54:30Miles Bourne, the North American champion.
00:54:33Find your business, Miles.
00:54:34Find your business, son.
00:54:36His business is his friends.
00:54:37His business is his partner.
00:54:38He's here.
00:54:39Look at him coming.
00:54:40For heights.
00:54:41And look at this.
00:54:43Tag team continuity.
00:55:07But anyways, we had one match against one of the best NXT tag teams ever.
00:55:14Roman, what I've been trying to tell you is that it's not just about.
00:55:16Yes, it was amazing.
00:55:18It was a jerk, man.
00:55:21You guys must be so bummed.
00:55:23Yes, extremely.
00:55:24We do, we do, Romeo.
00:55:25Look.
00:55:26I'm looking.
00:55:27They just teamed together, and now they're one win away from being NXT Tag Team Champions.
00:55:32That could be us.
00:55:33Romeo, legacy and DVD have known each other for years.
00:55:36We are new to this.
00:55:38We need to get to know each other so well that we always know what's on the other
00:55:41person's mind in any moment.
00:55:44Patata.
00:55:45Patatas.
00:55:46You think I'm thinking about potatoes right now, Romeo?
00:55:50Bravo.
00:55:51Boys, could you please speak- Romeo, Romeo, Romeo.
00:55:53He's right, it takes time to build chemistry.
00:55:55You guys will get there.
00:55:57We will maybe even defense the titles against- Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:56:02First we have to beat Vanity Project next week and become the new NXT Tag Team Champions.
00:56:08Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dukes.
00:56:11And new NXT Tag Team Champion, Dorian Van Dukes and Sean Legacy.
00:56:18Oh, okay, I see what you did there.
00:56:21Sounds great, huh?
00:56:21You switched the names.
00:56:22I see what you did.
00:56:23No, I didn't.
00:56:24Yes, yes, you did switch the names.
00:56:25No, no, sometimes my English is not really good.
00:56:27No, no, no, no, no, you're not playing the English card on me, no, no, no, you speak
00:56:29perfectly.
00:56:30Really?
00:56:32Well, it looks like we all have a lot to work on, Romeo.
00:56:35How do you like your potatoes, by the way?
00:56:38Well, it's all about baby steps for Romeo and no Amdar.
00:56:45Come on, Romeo!
00:56:47Come on, Romeo!
00:56:48Come on, Romeo!
00:56:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:56:53Introducing first, he is the winner of LFG Season 2 Wing In at 200 of Big E 2 Bounds,
00:57:00Shiloh 10!
00:57:02NXT Universe on their feet for this superstar, who's getting ready to step into the ring
00:57:13with someone who's becoming a very dangerous individual in his own right.
00:57:18Hill meets Nico Vance, coming your way next on NXT.
00:57:39You see that?
00:57:41You see that, Big?
00:57:42You see what?
00:57:42That was a star there, dog.
00:57:46100%.
00:57:51What I'm looking at is a different culling than the last time you were sitting
00:57:57ringside with me.
00:57:58It's a nice tilt or slam right on the gate.
00:58:00Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:58:00Into the cover.
00:58:01And a kick out.
00:58:03And Izzy Day moving a little gingerly here to our right.
00:58:05Obviously not in a good mood, which to be fair is most of the time.
00:58:08But again, congratulations to Layla Viggs, the new number one contender to the Women's
00:58:12North American Championship.
00:58:14Yes, give it up for Layla.
00:58:15Big, beautiful moonside.
00:58:18You gotta love it.
00:58:19Look at Nico.
00:58:21Does Vance have a chance to be special in your opinion?
00:58:25This guy has a pretty big time major star in this business.
00:58:30It's all about checking those boxes though, Vic.
00:58:32You're not gonna slip on a banana peel and come a big star here.
00:58:36Big shot there by John O'Hill.
00:58:38Shallow into another cover.
00:58:40Hill looking for his fourth straight victory and take a look at this.
00:58:45Right on it.
00:58:46And why fire up Hill if you're Nico Vance?
00:58:49He just had to go out of his way to say something negative and brag about how the
00:58:53culling got rid of Tatum Paxley.
00:58:55Why not?
00:58:56Why not say something to John O'Hill to get under his skin?
00:58:59That's what this business is all about.
00:59:00Did he not see what Hill did in the Great American Bash?
00:59:03Look, let me tell you something.
00:59:04Nico Vance is looking for the same thing everybody else is looking for in this
00:59:08business, in this company, and that's an opportunity.
00:59:10What it would be like going out here and beat Shiloh Hill, the flavor of him up.
00:59:14What would it be like?
00:59:16I wanna come back to something that you've always talked about, the GPS.
00:59:19What are you looking for then out of Nico Vance without that GPS here?
00:59:23Of course, I'm talking about Sean Spears and a clothesline connecting.
00:59:26Vance is down and just kicks out.
00:59:29Let me tell you something, the GPS obviously lost his mojo.
00:59:32I mean, that's the only thing that can be said about that.
00:59:35But this man right here, Nico Vance, he's not a follower, man.
00:59:38He's a leader.
00:59:39He's a guy that wanna make his own breaks in this business.
00:59:42Trust me, trust me, I can see it in his eyes.
00:59:45Well, Nico going right underneath, coming right back in.
00:59:47This gets taken down again by Shiloh Hill.
00:59:50You gotta move, son.
00:59:51And Hill again trying to go to the top.
00:59:52You gotta move, Nico.
00:59:54Hill taking a little bit too much time.
00:59:56That is.
00:59:58See that?
00:59:59That's a veteran instinct right there.
01:00:01Veteran instinct right there from Nico Vance.
01:00:04Well, Nico had the opportunity to learn and now is putting in the work with Izzy Dame on the outside.
01:00:10Look, just be honest with me here as Nico dropping a big elbow and following up with a second one.
01:00:16I wanna get your honest opinion.
01:00:18Did the culling make the right call in putting Spears through our table?
01:00:22Let me tell you something.
01:00:23When somebody like Sean Spears who's supposed to be in control is not getting the job done,
01:00:28you gotta cut your losses, man.
01:00:30You need to cut your losses quick and move on.
01:00:32And Izzy Dame, Izzy Dame, she knows that.
01:00:36What a diving headbutt into the cover.
01:00:38Come on, ref.
01:00:39Come on, ref.
01:00:40Hold on a second.
01:00:41Hook of the leg.
01:00:42And Hill kicking out.
01:00:45That should have been a three count.
01:00:48I'm not gonna argue with you there.
01:00:54X-Plex delivered by the X Factor into the cover.
01:01:00X Factor.
01:01:01Let me tell you, the X Factor right now is Nico Vance.
01:01:03He needs to stay on the gas.
01:01:04Because right now, that could have changed his life.
01:01:07That three count could have changed his man life, Vic.
01:01:09I can't believe that the tooth just came flying out of the mouth of Shiloh Hill.
01:01:13Hill looking around.
01:01:14And I gotta admit, though, I gotta agree.
01:01:18Wait a minute.
01:01:19Wait a minute.
01:01:19Wait a minute.
01:01:19He's not gonna do that.
01:01:21Well, yeah, he wants to get his tooth back.
01:01:23Why wouldn't he get it?
01:01:24Maybe Izzy should grab it.
01:01:26He's not gonna get the big tooth.
01:01:27And look at the strength.
01:01:29Niko Vance just out and muscling.
01:01:33For a moment, Shiloh Hill.
01:01:35Hill though able to land on his feet.
01:01:37And turn things around with a big back body drop.
01:01:41Big shot there by Hill, but he's still feeling the pain right now.
01:01:46Now, Jeremy Marcus, the official, better not step on that tooth.
01:01:49Still sitting there very dangerously right now.
01:01:51But Shiloh Hill forgetting about it.
01:01:52And trying to swing and maybe knock some of the teeth out of Niko Vance.
01:01:57Niko Vance right now, he's thrilling.
01:02:00He's gotta get a second win if he's gonna come back and get a victory in this matchup over Shiloh
01:02:04Hill.
01:02:04Because I must say, Shiloh Hill is one unique individual.
01:02:09Who really is.
01:02:10You can say that again with some crafty offense.
01:02:12And there it is, on display.
01:02:14Into the cover.
01:02:15Hooks both legs.
01:02:16And another near fall.
01:02:18What did he call that?
01:02:19What did he call that?
01:02:20Hey!
01:02:21Tristan Angels just took the tooth.
01:02:27Oh, yes!
01:02:28Provided the distraction.
01:02:31And for Niko Vance, X marks the spot.
01:02:34Oh, that's it.
01:02:38Vance with a huge victory.
01:02:40But what the?
01:02:43Tristan!
01:02:44Here is her winner, Niko Vance!
01:02:47Can I tell you?
01:02:47Can I tell you?
01:02:48Can I tell you?
01:02:48Tell me what?
01:02:49That's the star there, dog.
01:02:51Niko Vance makes victory.
01:02:54Here tonight, safety competition.
01:02:57I love it, man.
01:02:58Tristan Angels still proving to be a sore loser.
01:03:01After what happened to the Great American Bash.
01:03:04The NXT, Mr. NXT pageant.
01:03:07This was certainly the turning point in this matchup.
01:03:11Tristan Angels inserting himself, not physically, but from the outside.
01:03:16Opening the door for bam!
01:03:18Niko Vance to bulldoze and de-cleat Shiloh Hill.
01:03:23Yes!
01:03:31We've seen an epic different side of Shiloh Hill.
01:03:36And Hill now chasing Tristan all the way to the back.
01:03:39But the story is Niko Vance.
01:03:42The story is Izzy Day.
01:03:45These two right now getting to run.
01:03:49Oh!
01:03:49Sean Spears!
01:03:51Look at him!
01:03:51Look at him!
01:03:53Look at him!
01:04:09Next week, it'll be a triple threat.
01:04:11Vice, Jordan, Armstrong.
01:04:13Three women, one opportunity.
01:04:15Who will be the number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship.
01:04:20Being a championship, the tag titles will be defended.
01:04:24Legacy and Van Dukes won a four-way earlier tonight.
01:04:27Can they beat Vanity Project for the gold live next week?
01:04:32Also next week, Leila Diggs has the biggest opportunity of her career.
01:04:36Can she be the one to stop Saria?
01:04:39Women's North American Championship on the line next week as well here on NXT.
01:04:44And he loves dangerous atmosphere.
01:04:47And next week, Tate Wilder takes on the dangerous and unpredictable Raku.
01:04:52Question I have now, who will be our NXT Women's Champion next week?
01:05:09But it's main event time tonight.
01:05:18Natty looking to add to her legendary career.
01:05:23Oh, boys, close up, yeah!
01:05:26Can she finally capture the NXT Women's Championship?
01:05:30The low-key legend Natty challenges Kendall Gray for the NXT Women's title next.
01:05:37Come on, come on!
01:05:54You see the NXT Universe on their feet for the champion.
01:05:57And Booker, simply put, what are we about to learn about Kendall Gray?
01:06:03Kendall Gray shocked everybody by going out there and winning their championship.
01:06:07Beating Lola Vice in the middle of that square circle.
01:06:10But let me tell you something.
01:06:12She's taking on Natty tonight.
01:06:14This could be the shortest title reign in NXT's history here tonight.
01:06:22And that's not hot purple.
01:06:24And that's not hot purple.
01:06:25Fire to be a victory.
01:06:29As Gray stares out at the above women's champion Nikita Lyons, Carmen Petrovic.
01:06:35She's brought a little backup in her own right.
01:06:37The women's three champion, Ren Sinclair.
01:06:39Big fight feel as we get ready to go to our ring announcer, Mike Rohn.
01:06:44Big fight!
01:06:46Big fight!
01:06:47Big fight!
01:06:48Big fight!
01:06:48Big fight!
01:06:49The following contest scheduled for one fall.
01:06:52One fall!
01:06:54Is for the NXT Women's Championship!
01:07:02Introducing the challenger, representing the Hard Family Dungeon.
01:07:09From Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Natty!
01:07:21And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada.
01:07:25She is the NXT Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!
01:07:36You see Gray looking at that championship title as she hands it over to the head
01:07:41official here in NXT.
01:07:43Booker, can you properly explain for those that are watching this main event
01:07:47around the world just how typical the first defense of a championship is?
01:07:52They always say, until you defend that championship, you're truly not champion.
01:07:57And right now, the pressure is definitely going to come like a title wave for Kendall Gray
01:08:03in the form of Natty Neidhart here tonight.
01:08:06Well, typically when we see Kendall Gray in there with anyone, we talk about not wanting
01:08:09to be on the mat with Gray because of the amateur background.
01:08:12But I don't think we can say that with Natty.
01:08:13I think Natty's gonna be able to equal out Kendall Gray when it comes to being a mat technician.
01:08:17I'll tell you something.
01:08:18Natty Neidhart is well equipped, well versed in every, you know, skill there possibly is
01:08:23in the middle of that square circle.
01:08:24I don't think she's gonna have any problem handling herself tonight.
01:08:34Beautiful mat wrestling right there by both of the ladies.
01:08:37I also wanna throw this out there when it comes to Kendall Gray.
01:08:40It's important that she doesn't look towards next week.
01:08:43But I'm sure it's difficult not to do, triple threat to determine the number one contender
01:08:46for the NXT Women's Championship will take place live here on NXT.
01:08:50As a nice take down by Natty.
01:08:52Natty trying to get a submission, Gray realizing it, sensing it, fighting her off,
01:08:55trying to get a front face lock on, and look at Natty going right around Kendall Gray,
01:08:59getting her back, taking Gray down, and now standing tall.
01:09:02Masterclass right now, Vic, that's what this is, a masterclass in technique.
01:09:08Natty has not held a singles championship in the WWE since 2017,
01:09:13as Kendall Gray just took Natty right down to the ground.
01:09:18Listen to the NXT Universe here, Natty has been chasing this NXT Women's Championship,
01:09:23challenged the first woman to hold this title.
01:09:26That was Paige back in 2013.
01:09:29And regardless of what you and I argue about,
01:09:32we can agree that Kendall Gray is in there with a first ballot Hall of Famer.
01:09:36Of course she is.
01:09:36I mean, the thing is, Natty, you talk about titles and whatnot.
01:09:39Natty felt like the opportunity was passing her by as Natalya.
01:09:44That's where Natty came from.
01:09:45That's where this low key legend came from.
01:09:48And tonight, Kendall Gray is gonna have to deal with.
01:09:50And how about Kendall entering right back and, oh, Gray going all the way to the outside.
01:09:55Natty's staying one step ahead.
01:09:56I'm sure she thinks she could teach Gray a thing or two,
01:10:00as we'll see Lyons, Petrovich on the outside.
01:10:03But look at some tricks up the sleeve of the NXT Women's Champion.
01:10:06Going right around, coming right in, trying to catch Natty.
01:10:10And Natty just throwing Kendall down, and then running across her spine.
01:10:14Oh, yeah, whoa.
01:10:14Got caught, and she's in the ankle lock.
01:10:16Oh, can you imagine if Gray taps out Natty in the center of the ring?
01:10:20You can tell Kendall Gray scouting that right there, Vic.
01:10:23You can tell.
01:10:23Student in the game, trying to get Natty to tap.
01:10:26And what a story that would be in her first championship defense.
01:10:30Minutes in, she made the low key legend tap.
01:10:33Right in the middle of the ring.
01:10:34So if she locks it in, Natty could be in real big trouble here.
01:10:38If she lays back and locks it in, this could be over with Vic.
01:10:42Natty right now is screaming in pain.
01:10:44And again, sending Gray all the way to the outside and in front of.
01:10:49Lions and Petrovich.
01:10:52Look who's waiting right behind, stalking.
01:10:56The champion was the challenger.
01:10:59.
01:11:03Did not be distracted in this matchup here tonight.
01:11:06Well, Len Sinclair has seen enough, and she's going after Lions, but it's two on one.
01:11:12Mistake, come on.
01:11:13That was a mistake.
01:11:14You don't need to be doing this right now.
01:11:16Let's roll with Vice.
01:11:17Go ahead.
01:11:18The woman kind of defeated for the title.
01:11:20Vice is here.
01:11:21Odds are even.
01:11:23All four of these women battling with the title.
01:11:26Hanging in the balance.
01:11:31What a night it has been.
01:11:33This main event is for the NXT Women's Championship.
01:11:36As we inch closer to our next premium live event, NXT Heat Wave.
01:11:41Deep in the heart of Texas, who will be the women's champion?
01:11:46Will it be Kendall Gray or Natty?
01:11:48This is Gray's first defense of the title.
01:11:51It's a championship Natty has chased for over a decade.
01:11:54And unlike Karani, hooker Natty has a resume to demand championship opportunities like she did.
01:12:00Why are you giving up blood?
01:12:02Karani, right now, she's living her best life.
01:12:05Why are you bringing that up?
01:12:06Well, she's got an opportunity next week to become the number one contender.
01:12:11And there's that Anvil-like clothesline from Natty.
01:12:14Natty going into the cover, hooking that outside lane to become champion and a kick out.
01:12:18And what you need to be talking about is Kendall Gray right now and the situation that she's in.
01:12:23A situation that she's never perhaps prepared for.
01:12:27Somebody like Natty Neidhart with so much experience, so much talent to the game.
01:12:32I'm talking about with Natty, it's a science pick.
01:12:35And right now, she is on full display, on full display.
01:12:39She's in there with a Guinness World Record holder, a former women's champion,
01:12:42a former women's tag team champion.
01:12:44First woman to receive the Lutez award, but she has taken it to her.
01:12:47And look at those rights and lefts from Kendall Gray.
01:12:50Kendall beating down the challenger.
01:12:51Kendall right now, she's out of her game plan right now, throwing shots like that.
01:12:56She's a wrestler.
01:12:57She's a grappling pick.
01:12:59Well, she's trying to throw hands, and now she's trying to go high risk.
01:13:03Looking for that missile drop kick right into the heart of Natalya.
01:13:08And you start to really think about this for Kendall Gray, who's starting to feel it.
01:13:12Is Natty a measuring stick test for Gray?
01:13:16She's in there with an old timer.
01:13:18Oh, definitely, definitely a measuring stick.
01:13:21And the thing is, like I say, the pressure, the pressure is on because
01:13:25Kendall Gray talked about herself having that target on her back.
01:13:28And right now, Natalya's the first one with that bow trying to put it in and do it.
01:13:34Here we go.
01:13:35There it is.
01:13:36There it is.
01:13:37Looking for the move.
01:13:38Go, go.
01:13:40That could be it.
01:13:40That could be it.
01:13:41A little STO and a kick out by Kendall Gray.
01:13:44And I go back to something you talked about off air with me, and I'm starting to see it.
01:13:49Kendall Gray may not be ready to face the caliber of athlete of Natty.
01:13:52Natty has been able to stay there move for move.
01:13:55She is right now just having her way.
01:13:57This Natty is different than Natalya.
01:14:00This Natty is in there for one thing, to win, to dominate, to hurt.
01:14:04And she's looking for the sharp shooter right now.
01:14:06Kendall Gray doing her best.
01:14:07Inside cradle, inside cradle.
01:14:09Almost getting her.
01:14:10And this isn't the same Natty that Kendall Gray grew up watching on Total Divas
01:14:15as rolling right through Kendall now with a reversal.
01:14:18Natty answering right back.
01:14:20Nice takedown, rolling through.
01:14:22Trying to pick the ankle and got it.
01:14:24That's what I'm talking about.
01:14:25And a counter.
01:14:25My God, what a counter by Natty.
01:14:27Kendall Gray is trying to pull out all the stops, but Natty is just one,
01:14:31perhaps two steps ahead.
01:14:33Kendall Gray has not gotten out of the blocks truly in this matchup.
01:14:36We have never seen Gray be beaten down like this.
01:14:40I hate to say it like that.
01:14:42Let me tell you, I'm looking at Kendall Gray and I'm looking at her binding agent right now.
01:14:45You can tell that she's almost seemed to have run out of ideas right now.
01:14:50It's Natty.
01:14:51Did you see the roll by Natty?
01:14:52Allowing Natty to get the full body scissors around the torso to squeeze the air out of lungs.
01:14:58And that is a deep choke right now locked in.
01:15:01Kendall Gray may go to sleep tonight.
01:15:03And she may add, that being Natty, another submission victory to her Guinness World Record.
01:15:08She's not letting go.
01:15:09Tried to escape right there, but Natty, no, no, no, still got it locked in.
01:15:14I don't know where Kendall Gray.
01:15:15But wait a minute.
01:15:16Trying to get out one more time.
01:15:17Tried to pick the ankle.
01:15:19Nice switch.
01:15:19But Natty was able to block it.
01:15:20Looking for another submission.
01:15:22Trying to break the hold of Kendall Gray to extend the arm to try to hyperextend the elbow.
01:15:26Shifting weight, shoulder down and a kick out.
01:15:28That was smart.
01:15:29That was smart right there by Kendall.
01:15:30Tells me she's still thinking right now.
01:15:32Going to her base.
01:15:33Went to her base right there, Vic.
01:15:35And it's Kendall trying to answer back.
01:15:37Looking for a submission in her own right.
01:15:38Trying to kick off that hand from Natty.
01:15:40Natty now using the same thing Kendall did.
01:15:43And then again, both women have relinquished the hold to continue the match.
01:15:46With the women's title hanging in the balance.
01:15:48Big elbow.
01:15:50Elbow connected to the temple.
01:15:52Connected big time.
01:15:53I thought she said it wasn't on cover there though, Vic.
01:15:55This could be a mistake by the champion.
01:15:57This could be a huge mistake.
01:15:59In her first defense with that title hanging in the balance.
01:16:02Looking again for the missile dropkick.
01:16:04Got caught.
01:16:05Got caught.
01:16:06Got caught.
01:16:06And is gonna get put right in to the sharpshooter.
01:16:11Many women have tapped.
01:16:15Nowhere for Kendall Gray to go.
01:16:17Natty with a deep submission locked in.
01:16:21This is how Natty beat Jada Parker.
01:16:24Is she finally gonna add that women's title dragging Kendall back out?
01:16:30She's gonna have to tap this.
01:16:32Cinched in.
01:16:33Body screaming.
01:16:34Lower back's gotta be on fire.
01:16:36Kendall Gray again.
01:16:38Showing you the heart of a champion.
01:16:40Getting to that bottom rope.
01:16:41You got close, man.
01:16:43Whoa, second.
01:16:46Wait to get some shit like that, man.
01:16:48Natty going right back.
01:16:48Natty got caught.
01:16:49Roll through.
01:16:50Roll up.
01:16:50Near fall shifting weight.
01:16:52Another near fall in this matchup.
01:16:54One more time.
01:16:55Referee couldn't get the three.
01:16:56This matchup continuing.
01:16:58Shades of Gray.
01:17:00Just like at the Great American Fast.
01:17:02Out of nowhere.
01:17:03No way.
01:17:03And that was a statement made by Gray.
01:17:08Here is your winner and still the NXT Women's Champion Kendall Gray.
01:17:19And what was it you were saying about going for the hunt?
01:17:23Because you just saw the champion take out that bow and arrow.
01:17:29This was a really, could be a turning point some may say.
01:17:33All four women fighting out.
01:17:35Odds were equal.
01:17:37Kendall Gray with that big, big back elbow strike.
01:17:41But Natty would not be deterred.
01:17:43She finally locked in the sharpshooter.
01:17:45Kendall Gray in pain.
01:17:47Was able to roll up on the third attempt for the sharpshooter.
01:17:50Fight through and then bam.
01:17:52Right there.
01:17:53Turned the lights to black with the shades of gray to retain her championship.
01:18:00You always remember your first.
01:18:02And that was the first championship defense.
01:18:08Natty might want to turn around.
01:18:10There's Jada Parker.
01:18:12Parker and Natty.
01:18:13A lot of unfinished business.
01:18:16Petrovic.
01:18:16Lions.
01:18:17Trying to run interference.
01:18:19This ain't over.
01:18:20Yeah.
01:18:21Okay.
01:18:21I promise you.
01:18:23I promise you.
01:18:25Oh, and that issue is definitely far from over.
01:18:28But now the issue is starting to rise up for the champion.
01:18:33As Kendall Gray looks around, the champion is surrounded.
01:18:36All eyes on Gray.
01:18:39All eyes locked on the NXT Women's Championship.
01:18:43Wesokoo.
01:18:44i won!
01:18:46We've got a lot of left to win.
01:18:48Shit!
