00:01Right now, the pressure is definitely gonna come like a tidal wave for
00:07Kendall Gray in the form of Nattie Neidhart here tonight.
00:10Well, typically when we see Kendall Gray in there with anyone,
00:12we talk about not wanting to be on the mat with Gray.
00:15Because of the amateur background, but I don't think we can say that with Nattie.
00:18I think Nattie's gonna be able to equal out Kendall Gray when it comes to being a
00:21mat technician.
00:21Tell you something, Nattie Neidhart is well equipped, well versed in every skill
00:26there possibly is in the middle of that square circle.
00:29I don't think she's gonna have any problem handling herself tonight.
00:38Beautiful mat wrestling right there by both of the ladies.
00:41I also wanna throw this out there when it comes to Kendall Gray,
00:44it's important that she doesn't look towards next week.
00:47But I'm sure it's difficult not to do, triple threat to determine the number one
00:50contender for the NXT Women's Championship will take place live here on NXT.
00:55There's a nice takedown by Nattie, Nattie trying to get a submission,
00:57Gray realizing it, sensing it, fighting her off, trying to get her front face lock on.
01:01And look at Nattie, going right around Kendall Gray, getting her back,
01:04taking Gray down, and now standing tall.
01:06Masterclass right now, Vic, that's what this is, a masterclass in technique.
01:12Nattie has not held a singles championship in the WWE since 2017,
01:17as Kendall Gray just took Nattie right down to the ground.
01:23Listen to the NXT universe here,
01:24Nattie has been chasing this NXT Women's Championship.
01:28Challenged the first woman to hold this title, that was Paige back in 2013.
01:33And regardless of what you and I argue about, we can agree that Kendall Gray is in
01:39there with the first ballot Hall of Fame.
01:40Of course she is.
01:40I mean, the thing is, Nattie, you're talking about titles in one night.
01:44Nattie felt like the opportunity was passing her by as Natalya.
01:48That's where Nattie came from.
01:50That's where this low key legend came from.
01:52And tonight, Kendall Gray is gonna have to deal with it.
01:55And how about Kendall entering right back, and Gray going all the way to the outside.
01:59Nattie staying one step ahead.
02:01I'm sure she thinks she can teach Gray a thing or two.
02:04As you'll see Lyons, Petrovich on the outside.
02:07But look at some tricks up the sleeve of the NXT Women's Champion.
02:11Going right around, coming right in, trying to catch Nattie.
02:14And Nattie just throwing Kendall down, and then running across her spine, got caught.
02:19And she's in the ankle lock.
02:21Can you imagine if Gray taps out Nattie in the center of the ring?
02:24You can tell Kendall Gray scouted that right there, Rick.
02:27You can tell.
02:28Student of the game, trying to get Nattie to tap.
02:30And what a story that would be in her first championship defense.
02:34Minutes in, she made the low key legend tap.
02:37Right in the middle of the ring, so if she locks it in,
02:41Nattie could be in real big trouble here.
02:42If she lays back and locks it in, this could be over with Vick.
02:46Nattie right now is screaming in pain.
02:48And again, sending Gray all the way to the outside.
02:52And in front of, Lyons and Petrovich.
02:57Look who's waiting, right behind, stalking.
03:00The champion was the challenger.
03:03Number three could not take her eyes off the prize, Vick.
03:07Could not be distracted in this matchup here tonight.
03:11Well, Lipson Claire has seen enough, and she's going after Lyons, but it's two on one.
03:16Mistake, come on.
03:17That was a mistake.
03:18You don't need to be doing this right now.
03:20Let's roll with VICE.
03:21Go ahead.
03:22The women's title defeated for the title, VICE is here, odds are even.
03:27All four of these women battling with the title, hanging in the balance.
03:36What a night it has been.
03:37This main event is for the NXT Women's Championship.
03:40As we inch closer to our next premium live event, NXT Heat Wave, deep in the heart of Texas.
03:48Who will be the women's champion?
03:50Will it be Kendall Gray or Natty?
03:52This is Gray's first defense of the title.
03:55It's a championship Natty has chased for over a decade.
03:59And unlike Karani, Natty has a resume to demand championship opportunities like she did.
04:04Why do you keep living up under the blood?
04:06I mean Karani, right now, she's living her best life.
04:09Why are you bringing that up?
04:11She's got an opportunity next week to become the number one contender.
04:15And there's that Anvil-like clothesline from Natty.
04:18Natty going into the cover, hooking that outside, waiting to become champion in a kickout.
04:22And what you need to be talking about is Kimberly Gray right now in this situation that she's in.
04:27A situation that she's never perhaps prepared for.
04:31Somebody like Natty Nightheart with so much experience, so much knowledge to the game.
04:36I'm talking about with Natty, it's her size pick.
04:40And right now, she is on full display, on full display.
04:43She's in there with a Guinness World Record holder, a former women's champion,
04:46a former women's tag team champion, first woman to receive the Leafs as award.
04:50But she is taking it to her.
04:51And look at those rights and lefts from Kendall Gray.
04:54Kendall beating down the challenger.
04:56Give me something.
04:56Kendall right now, she's out of her game plan right now, throwing shots like that.
05:00She's a wrestler.
05:02She's a grappler, Vic.
05:03Well, she's trying to throw hands, and now she's trying to go high risk.
05:07Looking for that missile drop kick right into the heart of Natalya.
05:12And you start to really think about this for Kendall Gray, who's starting to feel it.
05:17Is Natty a measuring stick test for Gray?
05:21She's in there with an old timer.
05:23Definitely, definitely a measuring stick.
05:25And the thing is, like I say, the pressure, the pressure is on because Kendall Gray talked
05:30about herself having that target on her back.
05:33And right now, Natalya's the first one with that bow trying to put it in and do it.
05:39Here we go.
05:39There it is.
05:40There it is.
05:41Looking for the move.
05:43Go, go.
05:44That could be it.
05:44That could be it.
05:45A little STO and a kick out by Kendall Gray.
05:48And I go back to something you talked about off air with me, and I'm starting to see it.
05:53Kendall Gray may not be ready to face the caliber of athlete of Natty.
05:57Natty has been able to stay there move for move.
05:59She is right now just having her way.
06:02This Natty is different than Natalya.
06:04This Natty is in there for one thing, to win, to dominate, to hurt.
06:08And she's looking for the sharp shooter right now.
06:10Kendall Gray doing her best.
06:11Inside cradle, inside cradle.
06:13Almost getting her, and this isn't the same Natty that Kendall Gray grew up watching
06:18on Total Divas as rolling right through.
06:21Kendall now with a reversal.
06:23Natty answering right back.
06:24Nice takedown, rolling through, trying to pick the ankle and got it.
06:28Talking about- And a counter.
06:30My God, what a counter by Natty.
06:31Kendall Gray is trying to pull out all the stops, but Natty is just one, perhaps,
06:36two steps ahead.
06:37Kendall Gray has not gotten out of the blocks truly in this matchup.
06:40We have never seen Gray be beaten down like this.
06:45I hate to say it like that.
06:46I tell you, I'm looking at Kendall Gray and I'm looking at her body language right now.
06:50You can tell that she's almost seemed to have run out of ideas right now.
06:54Did you see the roll by Natty, allowing Natty to get the full body scissors around
06:59the torso to squeeze the air out of lungs, and that is a deep choke right now locked in.
07:05Kendall Gray may go to sleep tonight, and she may add that being Natty,
07:09another submission victory to her Guinness World Record.
07:12She's not letting go.
07:13Trying to escape right there, but Natty, no, no, no, still got it locked in.
07:18I don't know where Kendall Gray is trying to get out one more time, trying to pick the ankle,
07:23but Natty was able to block it, looking for another submission, trying to break the hold of
07:27Kendall Gray to extend the arm to try to hyperextend the elbow, shifting weight,
07:31shoulders down, and a kick out.
07:32That was smart, that was smart right there by Kendall,
07:34tells me she's still thinking right now, going to her base, going to her base right there, Vic.
07:39It's Kendall trying to answer back, looking for a submission in her own right,
07:43trying to kick off that hand from Natty.
07:45Natty now using the same thing Kendall did, and again,
07:48both women have relinquished the hold to continue the match with the women's title
07:51hanging in the balance, big elbow, elbow connected to the temple.
07:56Connected big time, I thought she should have went for a cover there, though Vic.
07:59This could be a mistake by the champion.
08:01This could be a huge mistake.
08:03In her first defense with that title hanging in the balance,
08:06looking again for the missile dropkick, got caught.
08:09Got caught, got caught, and is gonna get put right in to the sharpshooter.
08:15Many women have tapped.
08:19Nowhere for Kendall Gray to go, Natty with a deep submission locked in.
08:25This is how Natty beat Jada Parker.
08:29Is she finally gonna add that women's title dragging Kendall back out?
08:34She's gonna have to tap this.
08:36Cinched in, body screaming, lower back's gotta be on fire.
08:40Kendall Gray again, showing you the heart of a champion, getting to that bottom rope.
08:46You got the loose, Natty.
08:47Whoa, second.
08:50Wait to get some shit right there, man.
08:52Look, Natty going right back, Natty got caught, roll through, roll up.
08:55Near fall, shifting weight.
08:56Another near fall in this matchup.
08:58One more time, referee couldn't get the three.
09:01This matchup continuing, shades of Gray.
09:03Just like at the Great American Fast, out of nowhere, and that was a statement made by Gray.
09:12Here is your winner, and still, the NXT Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
09:25And still, the T-shirt regional gave our right três, allラ that was especus buenas.
09:27And it was in clap.
09:31It was so good.
09:32D factor in the matchup.
09:32And what is yourá»—i-until feature with a double head?
09:36You can't tell me.
09:37It's really what is Zayma.
09:39If you ever give maybe nogar ?
09:41You do.
