00:00:09NXT Universe is ready.
00:00:12Huge implications tonight for two championships as I welcome you to NXT.
00:00:24Right now, Callie Armstrong is standing on 10 toes in the center of the ring.
00:00:30If you're still there, you're like a crayon.
00:00:31I told him I'm big, y'all making a fan.
00:00:33Oh, yeah, NXT Universe, I got something to say.
00:00:42Hey, I don't call myself the Difference Maker for no reason.
00:00:48Last week was crazy, man.
00:00:50It really got to me.
00:00:52I was watching Great American Bash,
00:00:54and I saw Kendall Gray finally win the NXT Women's Championship.
00:01:03I heard y'all cheering.
00:01:05I heard the chants.
00:01:07I heard y'all saying how much she deserves it.
00:01:12And as I was thinking, the only thing that went through my mind was, there's my target.
00:01:21I mean, but can you blame me?
00:01:24That's what got all y'all talking right now.
00:01:26I mean, hell, that seemed like the only way I could get some appreciation around here.
00:01:34That seemed like the only way.
00:01:36I've been in the locker rooms.
00:01:38I've heard it all.
00:01:40I've heard chicks crying about how they don't get no opportunities.
00:01:46Then I've seen other chicks get opportunities and blow it.
00:01:51So the Difference Maker, Kelly Armstrong, create her opportunities.
00:01:57As soon as I flipped on Kendall Gray,
00:02:00every single last one of y'all was no longer talking about the new champ.
00:02:06Y'all know who y'all was talking about?
00:02:08Go ahead, guess who y'all was talking about?
00:02:12Me.
00:02:13Y'all was talking about Kelly Armstrong, straight like that.
00:02:19And let's keep it 100.
00:02:21We all know that it wasn't a matter of if Kelly runs this women's division.
00:02:27It was just a matter of when.
00:02:29But I'm tired of waiting.
00:02:31I'm ready to get what I deserve.
00:02:33I'm ready to get that NXT Women's Championship.
00:02:36And I don't even care who bring it to me.
00:02:39I don't care if it's Kendall or Natty.
00:02:41Cuz I got something for both them Raggedy Heifers regardless.
00:02:46.
00:02:55Hola NXT.
00:02:59Calli, callate la boca and slow your roll.
00:03:06You think just because you jumped Kendall, you did something and you're up next?
00:03:13I am.
00:03:16Mama, in my eyes, that doesn't make you the difference maker.
00:03:21It makes you impatient.
00:03:25And before you make all these championship plans, remember that Lola Vice still hasn't gotten her rematch.
00:03:32.
00:03:33So I'll be watching tonight and I don't care who wins it cuz I'm getting my title back, baby.
00:03:40.
00:03:41Hey, man.
00:03:43Slow your horses, Mama Setha.
00:03:45This ain't even about you.
00:03:47This about me.
00:03:48I'm gonna be out there watching a match and I'm gonna be next in line to get a title.
00:03:54.
00:03:59Are you guys serious right now?
00:04:02I'm sitting back there listening to you guys argue who's next in line for the NXT Women's Championship.
00:04:08And I can't help but think, based on what?
00:04:13Lola, you lost at the bash, womp womp.
00:04:17And Calli, I don't hate the way that you're moving.
00:04:22.
00:04:22But you attacked Kendall from behind because you couldn't earn your way to her face.
00:04:27And somehow both of you think you're entitled to a championship match?
00:04:31I don't think so.
00:04:33.
00:04:35Last week, I did what you're supposed to do and earn opportunities.
00:04:40.
00:04:40I beat Tatum Paxley and proved just why I'm the standout.
00:04:45And yet, like always, no one's talking about me.
00:04:49.
00:04:50.
00:04:51Everyone is more concerned about poor little Tatum Paxley.
00:04:56.
00:04:57And then we have you two who think you deserve the match that I've deserved for three years.
00:05:02.
00:05:02Like what?
00:05:03Hello, I feel like a broken record because I am.
00:05:07Because the conversation about who's next in line for the NXT Women's Championship revolves around me.
00:05:13.
00:05:14.
00:05:14I'm sick and tired of you.
00:05:16.
00:05:17.
00:05:18.

00:06:47one contenders match introducing first representing dark state cutler james and osiris
00:06:58griffin look can dark state reinstill fear into nxt i don't know but i mean honestly you know what
00:07:05it's hard to say it's hard to say losing that momentum is something you wonder if you can get
00:07:24next bronco nema lucia price oh what a way to kick off the night the first of two fatal four
00:07:37-way
00:07:37number one contender matches here on nxt these two teams have a long-standing issue with one
00:07:47another but which of these four teams will emerge the new number one contender for the nxt tag team
00:08:00titles
00:08:03is this duo the hardest one to prepare for i mean really they're the unknown booker
00:08:09legacy but dudes i like these guys man hell of a team hell of a team look at the body
00:08:16i see you i see
00:08:18you buddhooks
00:08:21so
00:08:22so
00:08:23so
00:08:33so
00:08:35so
00:08:44And their opponents, representing Berthright,
00:08:49Kenny Stuxler and Uriah Connors!
00:08:57Or will Berthright be the new number one contenders
00:09:01to the NXT Tag Team titles?
00:09:16How close is Berthright to total domination of NXT?
00:09:21I can tell you this.
00:09:23Berthright feels it's their first right to be in this position.
00:09:27I'm talking about to have a shot at the Tag Team Championship goal
00:09:31is something I'm sure, I'm sure they're chomping at the pit
00:09:34to get in that faction.
00:09:36Gotta get your thought on who is your favorite to win this matchup
00:09:41to challenge Vanity Project for the NXT Tag Team titles.
00:09:43Let me tell you something, I don't know who the favorite is or anything like that,
00:09:46but the team I like is OTM straight up out the mud.
00:09:49Okay.
00:09:49Looking for an opportunity.
00:09:51The guys I think, who's the more hungry at OTM?
00:09:55That's just my opinion.
00:09:56Well, OTM Darksteen have had their issues in the past.
00:09:59Those dealings though came with Saquon Sugars in the group.
00:10:02As we see Brock O'Nemo right now charging in to Big Osiris.
00:10:06It was a big guy, but Osiris is huge, man.
00:10:10Look, Connors come in to get to play right here.
00:10:15Good to see.
00:10:15Quick, beautiful action.
00:10:17How tough is it to prepare Booker for these sort of matchups, singles or tag?
00:10:21Look at a guy like Shawn Legacy, I mean, the kid could fly here and do anything in the ring.
00:10:26You look at a guy like Von Dukes, who definitely has a lower center of gravity and a lot of
00:10:31muscle.
00:10:31A team like this could definitely go pretty far in NXT.
00:10:35Beautiful shot kicked there by Connors, though.
00:10:37First team to score a decision will win, no disqualifications.
00:10:41Here comes Stax.
00:10:41As Stax checking in, Stax.
00:10:43Here comes Stax, Lorenzo.
00:10:44Stax, a former two-time NXT Tag Team Champion as Legacy just got picked up by Bronco Nima.
00:10:50Osiris ran over Birthright, and Legacy inadvertently took out Osiris.
00:10:56As Bronco stayed on his feet, ran into the corner, Stax joined a little interference.
00:11:01Nima, Bronco, they're not gonna like that.
00:11:03Bronco Nima just manhandling that point right there.
00:11:08Got caught though by Legacy.
00:11:11And Legacy now with that tag, in comes Dorian Van Dukes.
00:11:14This is what I was talking about earlier.
00:11:15Are they the team that's hardest to prepare for into the cover?
00:11:18And I mean that just to the lack of time as a team.
00:11:21That certainly would help them, because they're not allowed to scout.
00:11:23There it is, you don't know a whole lot about Dukes and Legacy.
00:11:27And I'm gonna tell you right now, you're gonna find out a lot about them,
00:11:29because they got a chance.
00:11:30They got a chance to win this matchup.
00:11:32And we walk up there.
00:11:35Getting dropped with Stax.
00:11:39Is there to see Saquon Sugar's looking on?
00:11:41Obviously, he's got a keen eye on this matchup due to Dark State.
00:11:47Did you see him with a baseball bat?
00:11:48Did you say Sugar's on a baseball bat?
00:11:50Sugar man. Where's he going?
00:11:51He's a sugar man.
00:11:52Stax are running right in, got caught.
00:11:54And look at the strength, nice inadvertent backbreaker into Stax.
00:12:00Dukes just ran in.
00:12:01He's getting manhandled.
00:12:02And Lucian Price tagging in for OTF, the duo you think is walking away victorious tonight.
00:12:10My God is coming into the hole.
00:12:12And the thing is, I got an advocate now.
00:12:15I'm looking at the work that these guys are doing.
00:12:17I'm like that right there, man.
00:12:19Come on, man.
00:12:20Two for one special.
00:12:22Make them number one contenders in color.
00:12:23James breaking things up.
00:12:27Didn't win the battle Sunday, but certainly it was Dark State.
00:12:33Last Sunday at the Great American Bash, they left their mark on Saquon Sugar.
00:12:37Who we just saw and start to wonder, when you're looking at everything with Dark State,
00:12:44they gotta figure out a way to start getting back to what they were first fearful of when
00:12:50they arrived here.
00:12:51That was striking fear in the hearts of everyone.
00:12:53That was making their point, because right now they just got taken down.
00:12:57Right now they're getting covered.
00:12:58Right now Lucian Price trying to turn things around.
00:13:00And Dark State right now, they're the only team that's not standing.
00:13:10And that's what Cutler James has to get back to.
00:13:16This is what Dark State has to get back to.
00:13:18Seek and Destroy Human Demolition Derby.
00:13:22Nobody's gonna do it as my force, Vic.
00:13:25Nobody's gonna give it to him.
00:13:26Now, Dark State is not in a position to sneak up on anybody anymore.
00:13:31They're just about to go out there.
00:13:32They take it, just like that Cutler James, Cutler James is moving, quick.
00:13:38And now, Shawn Legacy not moving at all, off the boot, into the cover to cover.
00:13:43Now, James, Conner's getting there, getting his shots in.
00:13:47Taking his shots, getting there, and getting out quickly.
00:13:49Boy, y'all liked it from the good man.
00:13:54Yes.
00:13:55It's all forthright right now.
00:13:58Which team will emerge victorious?
00:14:05Four teams, one golden opportunity awaiting.
00:14:09The winner of this matchup will face Vanity Project for the NXT Tag Team title.
00:14:16Still another four-way number one contendership match still to come.
00:14:20Izzy Dame, Lizzy Reign, Layla Diggs, Mia Hale, the winner will face Zarya for
00:14:26the NXT Women's North American Championship.
00:14:30And right now, Dark State is in control.
00:14:34And the smash of his rolled on book, I got a question.
00:14:37You've been blowing things towards our general manager.
00:14:40Did Robert Stone get it right in terms of the teams that were selected?
00:14:43You know, I agree with Robert Stone, these teams right here vying for
00:14:47a tag team title shot of me.
00:14:50These teams definitely earned it, they earned it, and the thing is like, my God.
00:14:55I don't know if that was a spear or a forearm, but
00:14:58it certainly looked like a shot to the liver of Stax.
00:15:02Legacy just landed a big DDT right there on cover as well.
00:15:05And all four men are down.
00:15:07And this could be that moment OTM has been waiting for.
00:15:11OTM definitely looking to get that tag and get in here right now.
00:15:15He's so close.
00:15:16Here comes, there we go.
00:15:19Talking about tonight, the other four-way matchup.
00:15:22As Dukes flying in, whilst taking a deeper look into the evil of Noraku for
00:15:27everything that happened last week.
00:15:29First from this, then with the chair, dropping Tony D'Angelo as Van Dukes dropping Bronco Nima.
00:15:36Bronco Nima, he's legal.
00:15:38Who else is legal?
00:15:39He's legal.
00:15:40That's up for Derek Sanders time.
00:15:41It's too fast for us to even figure out who's legal, who's not legal.
00:15:44As I mentioned earlier, I would be willing to bet though Bronco Nima is legal for his team.
00:15:48Bronco Nima is legal.
00:15:49I saw the tag made, but right now it's, I'm still wondering if Bronco Nima is legal.
00:15:56I think he is, I think Conor's legal for his team as well.
00:15:58And Osiris is the legal superstar for Dark State.
00:16:02Conor's getting turned inside out.
00:16:05Bronco Nima, Salvan, Dukes coming, Dorian telegraphed in pain.
00:16:10Just got rocked.
00:16:12You gotta start thinking about the champions right now, vanity projects.
00:16:15As Bronco Nima continuing into the cover to become number one contenders.
00:16:21Conor saving it.
00:16:22Who don't the champions wanna see standing across?
00:16:25Let me tell you something, the vanity project, I don't think they're running from anybody.
00:16:29I don't think they're thinking about who's gonna be the next contenders.
00:16:32I think those guys are ready for whoever steps up to the plate.
00:16:37Stacks with the elbow.
00:16:38Stacks made the tag.
00:16:39Stacks is legal.
00:16:40And Dorian falling into Stacks to break the count as this matchup is going to continue.
00:16:47Von Dukes, Von Dukes is in the right place at the right time to break that count.
00:16:52Still has a chip in the game.
00:16:55Got caught though by Cyrus.
00:16:57DVD might have just chipped a tooth as now everything's starting to break down.
00:17:01Now we really don't know who's legal, who's illegal in this matchup as Osiris taking to the outside.
00:17:06OTM wiping out all the Dark State but wiping out themselves in the process.
00:17:12And we know the issues between those four run deep as Stacks.
00:17:17Stacks just landed a good shot, gets the tag right there, man.
00:17:21Fires legal, and it could be that moment for Birthright to become number one contenders.
00:17:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:34Combination offense, highly effective, but DVD able to kick out.
00:17:40That just let you know how much Von Dukes really want this because I'm gonna tell you
00:17:43right now, that should have been a three count, Vic.
00:17:46This match should be over with.
00:17:48Winners will face the champions next week, by the way, live on NXT.
00:17:52Here on a Tuesday, and getting dropped over the top rope.
00:17:55Is Connors Stacks coming right back in, he's going to the top.
00:17:58He's gonna try his luck, and Stacks just slipped all the way to the floor.
00:18:03And you gotta think about all the action in this matchup.
00:18:06Everybody's slipping and sliding, body's starting to sweat.
00:18:09It's hot here in Florida, and it's a double moonsault from Legacy and DVD.
00:18:16Throwing on caution to the wind right now.
00:18:20Connors the only one for Birthright that's standing, doing it all for
00:18:24his squad, wiping out the field.
00:18:26I love it, man, I love it.
00:18:29Everyone down, except for Osiris.
00:18:33He's not gonna do this, he's not gonna do this.
00:18:36Osiris is not gonna do this, oh my God.
00:18:41Unbelievable.
00:18:42There's a 200 pounds right there, man, all meat.
00:18:49But there's Saquon Sugars.
00:18:52Saquon.
00:18:53Uh-oh.
00:19:09All over a week ago at the Bash.
00:19:11Osiris has got the better of Lennox.
00:19:14But right now, Coach, they're getting wiped out.
00:19:16We're not worried about the Great American Bash.
00:19:18Yeah.
00:19:18He's gonna become the number one contenders to the NXT Tag Team Titles.
00:19:23Flying in, he's getting caught, this is that moment.
00:19:28Come on, man, damn, come on, grab, damn.
00:19:36Paco, Lucien, Birthright.
00:19:39No way, man.
00:19:41Back to the live action, DVD.
00:19:44Big shot landed by Doom.
00:19:46Tag made to Shawn Legacy, 450, 450.
00:19:51No way.
00:19:52Legacy and Van Dukes headed to a golden opportunity.
00:19:57Wow.
00:19:58There are your winners and the new number one contenders to the NXT Tag
00:20:04Team Championship, Dorian Van Dukes and Shawn Legacy.
00:20:11It was hectic, it was chaotic, it was everything.
00:20:15We thought it would be, and more Osiris showing he's got some springs.
00:20:21Saquon came down, he was trying to intervene.
00:20:24Dion Lennox, though, from Yard State, came out to even the odds.
00:20:28And OTN and Birthright fought out of the match all the way to the back.
00:20:32And the odds slung into the favor of the unknown team of Dorian Van Dukes and
00:20:38Shawn Legacy, who used some high-flying aerial insanity to punch their ticket to next week.
00:20:46Because it is now official.
00:20:48Can this duo end the party for Vanity Project Tag Team titles to be defended next week, live on NXT?
00:21:01Time for tonight's NXT Spotlight.
00:21:08I ain't gonna lie to y'all.
00:21:10Nattie's in my head.
00:21:12She got me feeling like I don't know who I am.
00:21:14Man, I am so damn bad.
00:21:15I got myself trapped in a sharpshooter, and I did the one thing in my career I have never experienced.
00:21:22I quit.
00:21:23But after looking at myself in the mirror, I realized I got one to two choices.
00:21:27I could be who Nattie wants me to be, or I could just be Jada Parker.
00:21:31And from the looks of it, you know which choice I made because I got that dub against Carmen.
00:21:35That's one down.
00:21:37You want me to be just like you, but you ain't the type of legend that I'm looking up to.
00:21:42If anything, baby, I should be thanking you.
00:21:44It was never about me being soft.
00:21:46It was about me being this close to where I want to be.
00:21:51It's funny because you want to tell people you came to NXT for me.
00:21:56You came to NXT to make your stale-ass career relevant again, and congratulations, you did it.
00:22:02You beat me.
00:22:02You got the job done, and you are more relevant than you have been in years.
00:22:07And now you have the opportunity for the NXT Women's Championship.
00:22:11So it looks like we both trying to level up.
00:22:13But in order for me to do that, I have to go to a place you have never been.
00:22:18I got to put you down, Nattie, and I will.
00:22:21I promise you.
00:22:22I'm going to see you soon.
00:22:23Clock that.
00:22:28A lot of animosity from Jada Parker,
00:22:30but a lot of animosity in the blood of Tank Ledger.
00:22:34He's looking to get one back for his tag team partner, Hank Walker.
00:22:37Ledger.
00:22:38Keanu Carver.
00:22:39One on one.
00:22:40Next.
00:22:45Saquon, we saw you earlier for the first time since Dark State's brutal attack
00:22:49after your win over Dion Lennox at Great American Bash.
00:22:53But it feels like you didn't go after them the way that you intended to.
00:22:57Why is that?
00:22:58Emily, them boys put a ruse on me, man.
00:23:01Cutty and Osiris hobbled down that ramp,
00:23:03licking they wounds while I was fighting Dion.
00:23:05Didn't they want to hop on me after the bell after I get the dub again?
00:23:09I guess y'all did learn a little something from me.
00:23:13But, Em, when I look like getting my lick back now, you feel me?
00:23:15I got to move smart.
00:23:16I'm playing chess.
00:23:17They playing hungry hippo.
00:23:18All I had to do was pull up, and I got them shaking in they spandex.
00:23:22They lost their opportunity.
00:23:24But I understand they back to full strength now.
00:23:27It's three verse one.
00:23:28I can't exactly pick them off like I did before.
00:23:31But I understand one thing.
00:23:32This whole Dark State situation ain't over.
00:23:36I'm going to have to find some friends or something,
00:23:38because it's getting jive difficult.
00:23:40And I ain't done.
00:23:41We spent a whole year making nothing but enemies in that locker room.
00:23:44Nobody back there wants to look at me twice right now.
00:23:47So I guess I'm going to have to shake some hands,
00:23:49kiss a couple babies, you know?
00:23:51Show the world that I've changed and hope that they believe me.
00:23:54But no matter who I find,
00:23:56Dark State's going to learn one thing.
00:23:58I'm up next, they're up never,
00:24:00and it don't get no sweeter than that.
00:24:04Thank you, Saquon.
00:24:07What is really on the mind of Saquon Sugars?
00:24:18The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:24:23Introducing first, representing Hank and Tank, Tank Legend.
00:24:31Hank and Tank, you messed with Hank.
00:24:34Tank out here not just fighting for himself,
00:24:37fighting for his tag team partner.
00:25:22And his opponent from Washington, D.C.,
00:25:26bringing in at 295, Keanu Carver!
00:25:32It's been an interesting few weeks for this individual.
00:25:37Let's go back to the great American match.
00:25:40This was Keanu Carver who was not very happy,
00:25:42did not want to calm down.
00:25:44His emotions got the better of him.
00:25:46But there you see Hank Walker flying off the stage,
00:25:50through a table, all because of this man.
00:25:53And then what would his partner do?
00:25:54What would Tate do?
00:25:55He would toss Keanu last week in a rematch against EK Prosper.
00:26:00These two angry, these two not very happy with one another.
00:26:05But answer me this, who the hell can control Carver?
00:26:09I mean, nobody.
00:26:10I mean, it's been proven.
00:26:12And I must say, Mr. Stone has some big decisions to make around here,
00:26:16as far as Keanu Carver goes.
00:26:19Again, Carver putting Hank through that table outside the performance center,
00:26:23just ruined the Great American Bash cookout tailgate party.
00:26:27Obviously, Carver didn't give a damn about what happened, but that has led to here and to now.
00:26:32Big shot by Carver.
00:26:34Let me tell you right now, big up for Tank Legend for stepping up and taking this fight.
00:26:40I agree.
00:26:41This is not a match right here, man.
00:26:42Whoa!
00:26:43This is a straight up fight, dog.
00:26:46Well, look, how will Tank handle singles competition?
00:26:48I mean, he looks good right now, but this is his first singles match in over two years.
00:26:51It's not about singles competition like that.
00:26:53It's about representation, not just his partner, but that whole-
00:26:57Oh, yeah!
00:26:58That whole damn rockin', that whole head shield around Keanu, dog.
00:27:03Somebody gotta do something.
00:27:05Tank fired up.
00:27:06He has been fuming for well over a week, and you saw what he did last week.
00:27:10But right now, we just saw what Carver did.
00:27:14Pounce.
00:27:14Pounce that boy right there.
00:27:17That's what that was, Victor.
00:27:18Carver who attacked the Kingo last week, ruined a championship match.
00:27:23Let's go!
00:27:23You've been very vocal since the start of his career.
00:27:25Dating back to his time in LFG that this man cannot be contained.
00:27:30Yeah, I mean, his mode is aberrant.
00:27:32I think he can strong warm his way all the way to the top of NXT.
00:27:38If that's what he's thinking, it's not gonna work.
00:27:41But right now, he's putting it to this boy Tank Legend.
00:27:44Looking for the knockout blow, and look, this is also a man.
00:27:48And Keanu Carver, who hummled Joe Hendry, who has sidelined opponents,
00:27:53who shows absolutely no remorse for anything that he does.
00:27:58Not rules for authority or anything like that.
00:28:01And I tell you, in a lot of ways, those are great attributes.
00:28:05But this guy gotta figure out how to find his way to have some kind of control
00:28:10if he wanna make it in this business.
00:28:12And I'm just saying that because I wanna see him make it, Vic.
00:28:16What a short arm clothesline.
00:28:18Big shot.
00:28:19Big shot by Carver.
00:28:20We need guys like Carver in this business.
00:28:23You know why?
00:28:24You look at him.
00:28:25Look at him.
00:28:26Six foot four.
00:28:27Two hundred and what?
00:28:28Seventy-five pounds of roping, stomping, grave digging.
00:28:32Drunken Jack.
00:28:34Yes, we need that.
00:28:35He obviously is not one to listen to authority.
00:28:39You obviously have gone against authority in the past.
00:28:42What should be done about Keanu Carver then in your opinion?
00:28:46Like I say, that's not for me to say.
00:28:47I mean, Mr. Stone-
00:28:48You gotta have an idea.
00:28:50Mr. Stone and the higher ups.
00:28:52I'm unbiased.
00:28:52I'm a unbiased commentator sitting at the desk.
00:28:56Mr. Stone need to get with the higher ups and figure out if they're gonna do something.
00:29:01Big shot there by Carver.
00:29:04Yes.
00:29:06What a powerbomb.
00:29:08Wow.
00:29:09And if you look back to what happened moments ago, I think we should note the tape that is
00:29:13on the right knee of Keanu Carver.
00:29:16Cuz Carver's body buckled just ever so slightly in that moment.
00:29:21He's sending a message though right now.
00:29:23There was a buckle of just the momentum of Carver trying to break that hammer down with all the momentum.
00:29:28Well, I start to wonder if maybe Tank realized it and if Tank is gonna start targeting the lower body
00:29:33to take away a little bit of that strength from Keanu Carver.
00:29:36I don't think he noticed it.
00:29:36I don't think he noticed it if he did.
00:29:38Yes, here comes the man.
00:29:40Here comes Tank.
00:29:42He's rolling.
00:29:45And his short arm clothes on in his armor.
00:29:47I wanna follow up on what I asked you earlier about being a singles competitor.
00:29:50What's the biggest issue moving from tag to singles competition?
00:29:54That's easy, not having that.
00:29:56Wait a minute.
00:29:58Not having that.
00:29:59Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:29:59Here we go.
00:30:01And another near falling.
00:30:03I don't know what's gonna keep Carver down.
00:30:05Carver was already starting to rise when Tank was flying off the top.
00:30:08Talk about not having to partner that, not having that security blanket.
00:30:12That's the biggest obstacle that Tank Ledger's gonna go through.
00:30:15Not having that, knowing you when you need to bail and make that tag and try to reprove.
00:30:20You can't do that in a match like that with Carver.
00:30:23Carver.
00:30:24Carver just too big, too powerful, and another big elbow.
00:30:29I don't know if Tank's gonna win this full Nelson battle.
00:30:32I think Carver's just too big and too strong.
00:30:35Carver's definitely a god.
00:30:38Did you see that right there, Tank?
00:30:39He certainly did, but I see Keanu getting right back to his feet.
00:30:43And a man that size shouldn't be throwing drop picks.
00:30:46You got to be kidding.
00:30:49And again, overpowering.
00:30:52All muscles.
00:30:54Carver demolishes a Tank tonight.
00:30:58Here is your winner, Keanu Carver.
00:31:05Wow.
00:31:06That is a scary individual.
00:31:10Impressive, Vic.
00:31:11I mean, with ease.
00:31:14With absolute ease.
00:31:16Tank is a former defensive lineman at Northwestern in the Big Ten.
00:31:21And Carver just chucked him around like a football.
00:31:23The ball, though, is now in our general manager's court.
00:31:26What will Robert Stone do when it comes into Keanu Carver?
00:31:30Your man next.
00:31:33In moments, we will take an inside look at NXT's most dangerous man, Naraku next.
00:31:46And the start of the Cold War.
00:31:46Tony De Angelo.
00:31:48Great American Bash.
00:31:50Did you think I could not lose the victory?
00:31:55I was holding the victory?
00:31:57I think that even if you will win the victory?
00:31:58Honestly, that day you won.
00:32:00But, it wasn't possible for those of us as a refund.
00:32:05I don't know.
00:32:36I'm already in the dark, and I'm waiting for you.
00:32:40And I'm waiting for you to be waiting for you.
00:32:46I'm waiting for you to be waiting for you.
00:32:56But you're still not sure what you can do.
00:33:00I don't know. I'm going to be a man who can do what I can do, and I'm also going
00:33:08to be a NXT champion.
00:33:30I'm down for it. I'm going to run with him next week.
00:33:33Yeah, good luck with that wild man. He's going to slice and dice your ass up, Tate.
00:33:37You think so?
00:33:38Oh, I know so. Showtime, on the other hand, would duck and dodge anything Naraku threw at him.
00:33:42Lucky for him, thanks to Mason Rook, the Cam Hendricks health meter is at about 73.4%.
00:33:50Maybe he's at a 72.8%.
00:33:52The health meter. That's hilarious.
00:33:54But when I'm at 100%, Mason Rook, he's cooked.
00:33:56Oh, I bet he is.
00:33:57Yeah, he's right here.
00:34:00Cam, as well as right now, why am I hearing that you've been telling everyone I'm the one who put
00:34:05you on the shelf?
00:34:05Hey, that's exactly what he's doing right now.
00:34:07Is that so?
00:34:07Yes.
00:34:08Well, trust me, bud, if I was going to put you on the shelf, your ass wouldn't be getting back
00:34:10up.
00:34:11I'm actually at like a 68.9%.
00:34:13Hey, I thought you were supposed to be my friend, Tate. You traitor.
00:34:16You're a bad friend.
00:34:16Take your percentage, and walk out.
00:34:18Hey, time and place. I've been dealing with him forever.
00:34:25I mean, I'm just a low-key legend that deserves everything, which is why getting the championship match against Kendall
00:34:31just means the world to me.
00:34:33Yeah, yeah.
00:34:33And, I mean, Layla, you have the biggest match of your career coming up next. Are you excited?
00:34:37I am. Thank you for the opportunity.
00:34:39You're welcome. I'm ready.
00:34:43I'm ready.
00:34:45Appreciate it, Natty, but I think I'm going to do this on my own.
00:34:48Okay?
00:34:49Thanks.
00:34:51Okay, I'm going to let that breathe, but you guys are going to be out there with me, right?
00:34:54Of course.
00:34:55Oh, yeah.
00:34:56Perfect. As long as you guys are with me, that's fine.
00:34:58We'll see you out there.
00:35:01Scream for me, Orlando!
00:35:05Tonight, NXT Universe, you are about to find out that Lizzie Ray and heavy metal will never, ever die!
00:35:23The following contest is the NXT Women's North American Championship Fatal 4-Way Number 1 Contenders match!
00:35:33Introducing first, from London England, Lizzie Ray!
00:35:39Why is your tongue out of your mouth?
00:35:42Oh, yeah!
00:35:44Oh, yeah, baby!
00:35:46I'm feeling good!
00:35:47You know why?
00:35:48You know why?
00:35:49It's about to rain, man!
00:35:52It's about to rain!
00:35:53I love to rain!
00:35:55You really dig Lizzie Ray, don't you?
00:35:58Rock on, man!
00:36:00Rock on!
00:36:04What's my pick?
00:36:06What's my pick?
00:36:07What's my pick?
00:36:07He's going to pick away.
00:36:08Oh, when he's out!
00:36:09Oh, yeah!
00:36:10I will never let me now!
00:36:14You won't watch me for!
00:36:17I suggest you never take me!
00:36:20Next!
00:36:20One pick, one pick, two pick!
00:36:23The Hale!
00:36:25Well, you have to feel for Hale.
00:36:28I mean, what a moment, Booker, this could be for this woman to become the number one contender for a
00:36:34title.
00:36:34She wants Hale.
00:36:37The Hale is going to be the second one.
00:36:47Marie, focused, as is Thea Hale.
00:36:52And so will this woman.
00:36:56But there is pain, bringing it to light.
00:37:16Representing the cult, Izzy Day!
00:37:20This woman looks like Thea Hale, laser focused on holding a title once again that she held before.
00:37:30Four women, one opportunity here tonight to become the number one contender for the NXT Women's North American Championship.
00:37:39This matchup, who faces Zarya? Find out next.
00:37:53And there is the fourth woman in this matchup, Layla Diggs.
00:37:58Booker, how much potential does she have?
00:38:00I can dig it, I can dig it.
00:38:03You get the pun, you get the pun, I can dig it, I can dig it.
00:38:06Layla Diggs, I get it.
00:38:07Exactly, Layla Diggs, she's got a lot of talent, got a chance to work with her on LFG,
00:38:12and I tell you, she's gonna be a standout tonight.
00:38:15That's the question, is this gonna be her night?
00:38:19Well, there we go.
00:38:20All four women, first one to gain a pinfall or submission will be victorious.
00:38:25Do you believe that Zarya's looking on right now scared of any of these four women?
00:38:30Let me tell you something.
00:38:32Zarya showed me something.
00:38:34She's not a follower.
00:38:35She's a leader, Vic.
00:38:36And she's all about going out there and winning.
00:38:39Well, Izzy Damon controls it.
00:38:41Does it feel like this is Dame's night to step back into that championship protection?
00:38:47Whoa, big shot, big shot.
00:38:47He just got hit with a big shot on paper.
00:38:49One would think that, but you got Layla Diggs out here.
00:38:53You got Lizzy Rain, you got Thea Hale, who all are looking for the same thing, Vic.
00:38:57I'll tell you what, this is also your worst nightmare, Booker.
00:39:01What are you talking about?
00:39:01You got Lizzy and Izzy in the same match.
00:39:03We're gonna keep a counter going to see how many times you confused that one.
00:39:06I got it written down right here.
00:39:08Head coming right back in, looking for the hip toss counter.
00:39:10Layla rolling right through.
00:39:12Beautiful work.
00:39:12Nice job by Rain, floating right over.
00:39:15Thea realizing it and kicking the leg out.
00:39:17Now she floats into a cover.
00:39:18Look at the bridge.
00:39:19Look at the core strength from Lizzy Rain.
00:39:21Rain now looking for the back slide, jockeying for position as Thea Hale.
00:39:25Hale, as I mentioned, knows what it's like to hold.
00:39:28Whoa, double beard.
00:39:30Whoa.
00:39:30Double kick out.
00:39:34One way to counter Layla Diggs.
00:39:35Layla Diggs was about to make a big, big splash if she could have got that.
00:39:39Whoa, check her out.
00:39:41And Izzy from behind the dangers of this fatal four way first time all four of
00:39:46these women have competed against each other.
00:39:49Beautiful work there by Izzy Dane right there just mowed him down.
00:39:55I love it man.
00:39:56Izzy as I mentioned also knows what it's like to hold the women's North American title.
00:39:59Thea with a cover and a kick out if you remember.
00:40:02It was Izzy who defeated Hale answering an open challenge to become champion but
00:40:07in comes Lizzy Rain.
00:40:09She has her issues with the current North American champion.
00:40:12Unfinished business with Zarya.
00:40:14No doubt Lizzy has captured the NXT universe.
00:40:17Big shot, big shot.
00:40:17Everyone including Booker T wants to rock out with Lizzy Rain.
00:40:20Diggs, cover, and a kick out.
00:40:22Let me tell you, that right there, that showed me something right there by Layla Diggs.
00:40:26That pin, that pin fall right there just so unique, so different.
00:40:32A couple of chops here from Rain who's in control.
00:40:36Baby, rock up, whoa.
00:40:39We was about to rock, man.
00:40:41Izzy just put a stop to that show for Lizzy.
00:40:43Now looking to use her strength counter.
00:40:45Tried a chop of her own right.
00:40:47And coming in, big springboard back elbow.
00:40:49Give it up for Lizzy.
00:40:50Let me tell you something.
00:40:52You talk about an X factor in this matchup right here.
00:40:54It's gotta be Lizzy Rain.
00:40:56She seems to be more hungry in this matchup.
00:41:02Yes.
00:41:03Did I tell you?
00:41:04Did I tell you?
00:41:05You did.
00:41:05Did I tell you we're gonna make it rain?
00:41:06You did.
00:41:07Get the dollars out, dawg.
00:41:11And look at Thea looking for a slams.
00:41:13Able to come, ooh.
00:41:14And again, one of that unique, innovative offense from Layla Diggs.
00:41:19And some would have questioned if Diggs was gonna regret, so to speak,
00:41:23not accepting Natty's help earlier.
00:41:25Hit that gourd buster, trying to get into the cover.
00:41:28Izzy wisely rolls the outside, but there's Lizzy coming from behind.
00:41:32Shoulders down.
00:41:33And another near fall.
00:41:34Gotta have eyes in the back of your head in a matchup like this right here.
00:41:36Let me tell you something.
00:41:38Lizzy Rain is on a move, man.
00:41:43Yes.
00:41:43Speaking of moving, Layla wiping out the field.
00:41:46Certainly might be an interesting choice not to accept the help.
00:41:49Wait a minute.
00:41:49But there comes.
00:41:50Wait a minute.
00:41:51Double up.
00:41:52Whoa, man.
00:41:54The bodies have hit the floor except for Thea Hale.
00:41:57Are we looking at the next number one contender?
00:42:00One, two, three.
00:42:04Who will be the number one contender to Zarya's Women's North American Championship?
00:42:10Izzy Dame looking for a superplex on Lizzy Rain and got it.
00:42:15It seems that the rain has ended, but take a look at Thea.
00:42:18Take a look at Layla.
00:42:20Double splash.
00:42:22Double count.
00:42:23Do we have two?
00:42:24We only got a two.
00:42:26I thought we were gonna have two possible number one contenders.
00:42:30What a match.
00:42:31All four of these women have laid it on the line.
00:42:34That was so close to being a controversial finish right there.
00:42:38Who would have won that?
00:42:40I mean, who would advance, huh?
00:42:42That would have been up to our general manager, Robert Stone.
00:42:44We've already seen Legacy and Dorian Van Dukes win earlier tonight.
00:42:48They are the number one contenders to the tag team titles.
00:42:52As this starting to break down.
00:42:54And, you know, it didn't seem that Layla Diggs and Natty had the same views.
00:42:58As Layla's out here by herself.
00:43:00Natty, Kendall Gray in our main event for the NXT Women's Championship here tonight.
00:43:05Go!
00:43:05Thea sidestepping Diggs.
00:43:06Big kick dropping Diggs and Thea is in control.
00:43:10Standing movesault.
00:43:11Will it be enough?
00:43:13And is he from behind?
00:43:15Could have been a mistake not taking Natty's advice.
00:43:17I'm gonna tell you right now, Natty, if anybody, if anybody knows about this business,
00:43:22it's the Renaissance woman, Natty.
00:43:25Oh, yes, man.
00:43:26That could be a big night for the Culling.
00:43:27Oh, baby.
00:43:29As Nico Vance will face Shiloh Hill later on tonight.
00:43:32But look at Thea go.
00:43:33The world's littlest slam connects.
00:43:36Rolling right through.
00:43:37Oh, look at the balance, man.
00:43:41Highly caffeinated, ready to go, and got caught.
00:43:47And now, Izzy Dame again showcasing that power.
00:43:51And this is just the dangers of this sort of matchup.
00:43:53Yeah, Hilda's got here to prove herself tonight, Vic.
00:43:55She's trying to prove that she belongs.
00:43:58She's trying to prove that she should be number one contender, Vic.
00:44:01That's what it's all about.
00:44:02What'd you say earlier about doubling up?
00:44:04Double up.
00:44:05Oh, yes.
00:44:06That was what Thea's trying to do, and she got all that into the cover.
00:44:09And again, oh.
00:44:12Oh.
00:44:13One, two.
00:44:14I was gonna say, Izzy was trying to break up the cover, inflicted more damage,
00:44:18got a cover in her own right.
00:44:20And we got another little stalemate here in this matchup.
00:44:24She's going for it, Vic.
00:44:25Trying to lock in that Kimura.
00:44:28But Layla, there you see, right in the back with a drop kick, picking her spot.
00:44:34No, no, that was just great ring awareness right there by Layla Diggs.
00:44:38The young star trying to make a name for herself tonight, Vic.
00:44:42What a kick.
00:44:44Man.
00:44:44Reign back in control, and now enemies turning into cohorts.
00:44:48Yes.
00:44:49Got caught.
00:44:50Yes.
00:44:51Lizzy's in the driver's seat right now.
00:45:00What a match, and still to come, it's our main event.
00:45:04Kendall Gray getting ready to defend her championship for the first time against
00:45:08Maddie.
00:45:09Who walks out with gold around their waist?
00:45:11Right now, though, in this four-way, who's walking out?
00:45:14Number one contender.
00:45:15Listen to the NXT.
00:45:17Carter, Lizzy.
00:45:19Yeah.
00:45:19She's gonna do it.
00:45:20One, two.
00:45:22And Thea breaking it at the last moment.
00:45:25Boom.
00:45:26In comes Dame.
00:45:27Dame now.
00:45:29Right place at the right time, but Hogg just got caught with a big back elbow.
00:45:33In the wrong place there for a moment.
00:45:35What a boop.
00:45:38And just like that, turning it around.
00:45:41Izzy wants that championship back.
00:45:44Whoa.
00:45:45Able to roll away from that kick, saw it coming.
00:45:47Smart right there by Izzy Dame to get out of the way.
00:45:50But right now, she's going for it.
00:45:52Big shot delivered.
00:45:54Layla telegraphing that kick may cost her an event.
00:45:57Thea breaking it up.
00:45:58I mean, this is showing you just how deep the women's division is here in NXT.
00:46:04It's all about fortitude.
00:46:04Who's gonna have the most in the tank?
00:46:07It's all about who's got the most heart in a matchup like this, Vic.
00:46:10But you gotta understand, there's something on the line.
00:46:13Number one contender, check it out.
00:46:16Bam!
00:46:16Izzy was just rolling through the competition, hit that big chokeslam.
00:46:20But Thea Hale right now is the NXT Universe trying to rally all four of these women.
00:46:24Seems to be maybe in somewhat of the privacy for a moment.
00:46:29Thea Hale has been looking great tonight in this matchup, Vic.
00:46:31She came in with the game plan and strategy.
00:46:35Let's see if she can pull it off.
00:46:36Do you think she can catch lightning in a bottle twice?
00:46:38I mean, come on, Vic.
00:46:39I mean, it's all about the work you put in right now.
00:46:43See me put it in.
00:46:45That ball just got caught, just got caught big time.
00:46:48Yeah, I think that lightning not gonna get caught here tonight and Izzy back in.
00:46:52She got caught by Rain.
00:46:54Rain got dropped with the Shining Wizard.
00:46:57Wait a minute.
00:46:58Thea into the Kimura.
00:46:59Wait a minute.
00:47:00Is Layla gonna tap?
00:47:01Is Thea gonna become the number one contender?
00:47:03Layla's gone.
00:47:05Layla trying to overpower, trying to make all that tutelage from Natty,
00:47:09who I'm sure has taught her how to get out of any sort of submission.
00:47:12They teach her how to avoid the steel post.
00:47:16Izzy running right over Thea again.
00:47:17Trying to fall into the cover.
00:47:20And Lizzy from behind.
00:47:22Again, one of these women, it's the first one to get a pinfall or a submission.
00:47:26They will become the number one contender to the NXT Women's North American Championship.
00:47:33Everybody, everybody in this matchup right here is hungry,
00:47:36hungry for that number one spot.
00:47:39This thing may never be over with the way it's going right now, Vic.
00:47:45What a forearm from Izzy.
00:47:46And we really have seen Izzy evolve.
00:47:49Obviously now leading The Culling.
00:47:51What do you make of Dane being the leader of The Culling with Niko Vance after getting a shot?
00:47:57I said it from the beginning.
00:47:58When Izzy became a part of that crew, she became that legitimizer.
00:48:04Something I talk about all the time.
00:48:06So me, I'm not surprised.
00:48:08I'm not surprised, Vic.
00:48:10Well, Lizzy lifting up Izzy.
00:48:14Dane able to slide down the back, coming right back in and putting on the brakes for a moment.
00:48:18Look at the quickness.
00:48:19Look at the quickness.
00:48:21Headbaker.
00:48:22Headbaker.
00:48:23There's only one woman that's gonna be standing.
00:48:25That's gonna be Lizzy Rain.
00:48:27Rain is in full control.
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:33And got caught.
00:48:34Thea out of nowhere with a crucifix.
00:48:36Almost becoming the number one contender.
00:48:39Trying to get that Camoran on one more time.
00:48:42Shifting all the way around.
00:48:43Drop.
00:48:44Kick out.
00:48:46Okay, Thea Hill has been on fire in this matchup.
00:48:51Just got caught.
00:48:52Just got caught.
00:48:54Understruck.
00:48:55Dane out of nowhere.
00:48:58And Dane's momentum carried it out of the ring.
00:49:00Booker, look at Layla.
00:49:02And to steal one of your phrases.
00:49:04Whoa.
00:49:05Can you dig it?
00:49:08Wow.
00:49:10Suck up.
00:49:13Here is your winner as a new Neuroa contender
00:49:17to the NXT Women's North American Championship,
00:49:22Layla Diggs.
00:49:23Diggs did it.
00:49:25Wow.
00:49:25Can you believe it?
00:49:27NXT Universe on their feet.
00:49:29What a matchup.
00:49:30All four of these women brought their best.
00:49:34I mean, it was one thing after another.
00:49:37The action, sometimes we couldn't even call it.
00:49:39Right here was that understruck kick right to the temple.
00:49:43And then Izzy would run in.
00:49:44Izzy thought she was in the driver's seat.
00:49:46But the momentum carried her to the outside.
00:49:48And then picture perfect for Layla Diggs.
00:49:51From an LFG to a ball here to NXT.
00:49:56And now, when you break it down, think about this book.
00:50:01Layla Diggs.
00:50:02Zarya, for the Women's North American Championship.
00:50:06It's going down next week.
00:50:13When disaster strikes, there's no discrimination.
00:50:17It doesn't care who you are or what you've done.
00:50:20There's no mercy, no hesitation.
00:50:23Just devastation left in its wake.
00:50:28Last week, it was Tatum Paxley.
00:50:30Who knows which one of your favorites will be next.
00:50:33I don't enter the rain to survive.
00:50:36I enter to dominate.
00:50:39Every strike hits like thunder.
00:50:41Every step feels like an earthquake.
00:50:44And every victory leaving destruction behind.
00:50:47You are looking at a natural disaster with purpose.
00:50:53Remember my face.
00:50:55Because I am the first.
00:50:56I am the future.
00:50:58I am the force of nature.
00:51:00Reina Volcano.
00:51:01I am the first.
00:51:07Tag on ice.
00:51:11TavianEye got something to say.
00:51:16Look.
00:51:18I wasn't going to come out here but.
00:51:20I was sitting backstage.
00:51:22And I was just thinking about all the things I've said before Great American Bash
00:51:25look I've been a bad brother but I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong now it's
00:51:33no secret I could be cocky I could be arrogant but that's only because that I
00:51:40know that I have what it takes to be great now when I came through those doors
00:51:44at NXT three years ago as a former Olympian well I believe that I was the
00:51:49baddest man in any room that I walked in I believed that but this place humbled
00:51:54me and I have not reached the heights that I want to reach yet so when I saw
00:52:02miles having all this success yeah that made me jealous I saw miles climbing and
00:52:09I saw me being forgotten which is my biggest fear and I let that fear blind
00:52:16me so that being said I've come out here tonight to apologize to miles man to
00:52:25me so wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait how about how about we start by
00:52:38apologizing to the guy you screwed over a few weeks ago facts bro facts and
00:52:43honestly Robert Stone should apologize to Dorian Van Dew and Shawn Legacy for
00:52:50really letting those boys think they got a shot at these NXT tag titles that is
00:52:55ridiculous he's setting those boys up for failure for real two wins and now those
00:52:59guys think that they have a chance against the vanity project come on but hey it's
00:53:05just another title defense to put on the resume boys the list is getting longer bro yeah
00:53:11yeah yeah yeah Tavion Miles low-key genuinely handed you a shot at the North American Championship on a silver
00:53:21platter and you still fumbled the bag there's no coming back from that bro and by the way I think
00:53:29you
00:53:29might have a little bit of trouble finding your way back to the top considering your biggest and most
00:53:34legitimate victory was a total fluke yes yes yes and while we're on the subject everyone and their
00:53:44mother knows you never would have beaten Jackson Drake if it weren't for the help of miles and if it
00:53:50was me and that championship match I sure as hell wouldn't have pulled no Tavion Heights so why we
00:53:56talking hypotheticals then huh if you want to get a rematch we can do that whenever you'd like because the
00:54:01results are going to be the same Jackson and I'll show you exactly why I'm the most dangerous
00:54:07thing walking the peak performer a weapon and human form yeah yeah I don't know if that was wise there's
00:54:17no
00:54:17backup for Tavion no it wasn't what are you talking about what the hell is he doing Miles born the
00:54:26North American
00:54:28he's a champion his business is his friends his business is his partner he's here for heights and look at
00:54:36this tag team continuity
00:54:59so it's not local it's not local but anyways we had one match against one of the best NXT tag
00:55:07teams
00:55:12champions
00:55:12thank you thank you thank you thank you you guys must be so bombed yes extremely look they just teamed
00:55:22together
00:55:22another one win away from being NXT tag team champions that could be nice Romeo legacy and DVD have known
00:55:29each other
00:55:30for years we are new to this we need to get to know each other so well that we always
00:55:34know what's on the other person's mind and any
00:55:40You think I'm thinking about potatoes right now, Romeo, bravo.
00:55:45Boys, could you please speak up for me?
00:55:47He's right, it takes time to build chemistry.
00:55:50You guys will get there.
00:55:51We will maybe even defense the title against.
00:55:55Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:55:56First we have to beat Vanity Project next week and
00:55:59become the new NXT Tag Team Champions, Shawn Legacy and
00:56:04Dorian Van Dukes, and new NXT Tag Team Champion, Dorian Van Dukes and Shawn Legacy.
00:56:13Okay, I see what you did there.
00:56:15Sounds great, huh?
00:56:15Yeah, you switched the names.
00:56:17I see what you did.
00:56:18No, I didn't.
00:56:18Yes, yes, you did switch the names.
00:56:19No, no, sometimes my English is not really good.
00:56:21No, no, no, no, you're not playing the English card on me.
00:56:23No, no, you speak perfectly.
00:56:25Really?
00:56:27Well, it looks like we all have a lot to work on, Romeo.
00:56:30How do you like your potatoes, by the way?
00:56:32Well, it's all about baby steps for Romeo and no Amdar.
00:56:39Come on, Romeo, come on, now.
00:56:43The following contest is scheduled for one of all.
00:56:48Introducing first, he is the winner of LFG Season 2 weighing in at 250 pounds,
00:56:54Silo, here, NXT Universe on their feet for this superstar, who's getting ready to step
00:57:06into the ring with someone who's becoming a very dangerous individual in his own right.
00:57:13Hill meets Nico Vance, coming your way next on NXT.
00:57:33You see that?
00:57:35You see that, Vic?
00:57:36See what?
00:57:37That was a star there, dog.
00:57:45Well, what I'm looking at is a different culling than the last time you were sitting
00:57:51ringside with me.
00:57:52It's a nice tilt-over slam right on the gate, into the cover, and a kick out.
00:57:57And Izzy Day moving a little gingerly here to our right, obviously not in a good mood,
00:58:01which to be fair is most of the time.
00:58:03But again, congratulations to Layla Viggs, the new number one contender to the Women's
00:58:06Northern American Championship.
00:58:08Yes, yes, give it up for Layla.
00:58:09Big, beautiful moonsault.
00:58:12You gotta love it.
00:58:14Look at Nico.
00:58:16Does Vance have a chance to be special in your opinion?
00:58:19This guy has a big time, major star in this business.
00:58:24It's all about checking those boxes, though, Vic.
00:58:27You're not gonna slip on a banana peel and become a big star here.
00:58:30Big shot there by Jono.
00:58:33Fallowing to another cover, Hill looking for his fourth straight victory.
00:58:37And take a look at this, right on it, Spartan.
00:58:40And why fire up Hill if you're Nico Vance?
00:58:44He just had to go out of his way to say something negative and brag about how the
00:58:48culling got rid of Tatum Paxley.
00:58:49Why not, why not say something to get under his skin?
00:58:54That's what this business is all about.
00:58:54Did he not see what Hill did at the Great American Bash?
00:58:57Let me tell you something, Nico Vance is looking for the same thing everybody else is
00:59:01looking for in this business, in this company, and that's an opportunity.
00:59:04What it would be like going out here and beat Shiloh Hill, the flavor of him up.
00:59:08What would it be like?
00:59:10I wanna come back to something that you've always talked about, the GPS.
00:59:14What are you looking for then out of Nico Vance?
00:59:16Without that GPS here, of course, I'm talking about Sean Spears and a clothesline.
00:59:21Connecting, Vance is down, and just kicks out.
00:59:24Let me tell you something, the GPS obviously lost his mojo.
00:59:27I mean, that's the only thing that can be said about that.
00:59:29But this man right here, Nico Vance, he's not a follower, man.
00:59:33He's a leader.
00:59:33He's a guy that wanna make his own breaks in this business.
00:59:36Trust me, trust me, I can see it in his eyes.
00:59:39Well, Nico going right underneath, coming right back in.
00:59:42This gets taken down again by Shiloh Hill.
00:59:45And Hill again trying to go to the top.
00:59:47What a move, Nico.
00:59:49Hill taking a little bit too much time.
00:59:51That is, see that?
00:59:53That was a veteran instinct right there.
00:59:55Veteran instinct right there from Nico Vance.
00:59:58Well, Nico had the opportunity to learn and now is putting in the work with
01:00:02Izzy Dame on the outside.
01:00:04Look, just be honest with me here, is Nico dropping a big elbow and
01:00:09following up with a second one.
01:00:10I wanna get your honest opinion.
01:00:12Did The Culling make the right call in putting Spears through our table?
01:00:16Let me tell you something, when somebody like Shiloh Spears who's supposed to be
01:00:20in control is not getting the job done, you gotta cut your losses, man.
01:00:24You need to cut your losses quick and move on.
01:00:27And Izzy Dame, Izzy Dame, she knows that.
01:00:30What a diving headbutt into the cover.
01:00:32Come on, ref, what a ref.
01:00:34Hold on a second, hook of the leg and he'll kicking out.
01:00:39That should have been a three count.
01:00:42Let's go, Shiloh!
01:00:43I'm not gonna argue with you there.
01:00:45Let's go, Shiloh!
01:00:48X-Plex delivered by the X Factor into the cover.
01:00:54X Factor, let me tell you, the X Factor right now is Nico Vance.
01:00:57He needs to steal the gas, because right now, that could have changed his life.
01:01:02That three count could have changed his man's life, Vic.
01:01:04Well, I can't believe that the tooth just came flying out of the mouth of Shiloh Hill.
01:01:08Hill looking around, and I gotta admit, though, I gotta agree.
01:01:12Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, Vic.
01:01:14He's got to, he's got to go do that.
01:01:16Well, yeah, he wants to get his tooth back.
01:01:17Why wouldn't he get it?
01:01:19Maybe Izzy should grab it.
01:01:20He's not gonna get the big tooth.
01:01:21Oh, and look at the strength.
01:01:24Nico Vance just out and muscling.
01:01:27For a moment, Shiloh Hill.
01:01:29Hill, though, able to land on his feet.
01:01:31And turn things around with a big back body drop.
01:01:35Big shot there by Hill, but he's still feeling the pain right now.
01:01:40Now, Jeremy Marcus, the official, better not step on that tooth.
01:01:43Still sitting there very dangerously right now, but Shiloh Hill forgetting about it,
01:01:47and trying to swing and maybe knock some of the teeth out of Nico Vance.
01:01:51Nico Vance right now, he's thrilling.
01:01:54He's gotta get a second win if he's gonna come back and get a victory in this matchup
01:01:58over Shiloh Hill because I must say, Shiloh Hill is one unique individual.
01:02:03He really is.
01:02:04You can say that again with some crafty offense, and there it is.
01:02:07On display, into the cover.
01:02:09Hooks both legs, and another near fall.
01:02:12What did he call that?
01:02:13What did he call that?
01:02:14Hey, Tristan Angels just took the tooth.
01:02:21Oh, yes.
01:02:23Provided the distraction, and for Nico Vance, X marks the spot.
01:02:29Oh, that's it.
01:02:31One, two, one.
01:02:32Vance with a huge victory.
01:02:35But what the?
01:02:37Tristan.
01:02:38Here is her winner, Nico Vance.
01:02:41Can I tell you? Can I tell you?
01:02:42Can I tell you?
01:02:42Tell me what?
01:02:43That's a star there, dawg.
01:02:45Nico Vance makes victory here tonight.
01:02:49Sadie Pupadichie.
01:02:51I love it, man.
01:02:53Tristan Angels still proving to be a sore loser after what happened to the Great American Bash,
01:02:59the Mr. NXT pageant.
01:03:01This was certainly the turning point in this matchup.
01:03:05Tristan Angels inserting himself, not physically, but from the outside, opening the door for bam.
01:03:12Now Nico Vance to bulldoze and de-cleat Shiloh Hill.
01:03:17Yes!
01:03:25We've seen an epic different side of Shiloh Hill.
01:03:30And Hill now chasing Tristan all the way to the back.
01:03:34But the story is Nico Vance.
01:03:36The story is Izzy Day.
01:03:39These two right now getting to Roy.
01:03:43Oh!
01:03:44Sean Spears!
01:03:45Look at him!
01:03:46Look at him!
01:03:47Look at him!
01:03:53The GPS's course is now set on destroying the Cullen.
01:03:58NXT!
01:03:59NXT!
01:04:01NXT!
01:04:04Next week, it'll be a triple threat.
01:04:06Vice, Jordan, Armstrong, three women, one opportunity.
01:04:09Who will be the number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship?
01:04:15Speaking of championships, the tag titles will be defended.
01:04:18Legacy and Van Dukes won a four-way earlier tonight.
01:04:21Can they beat Vanity Project for the gold live next week?
01:04:26Also next week, Layla Diggs has the biggest opportunity of her career.
01:04:30Can she be the one to stop Saria?
01:04:33Women's North American Championship on the line next week as well here on NXT.
01:04:39And he loves dangerous atmosphere.
01:04:41And next week, Tate Wilder takes on the dangerous and unpredictable Raku.
01:04:46Question I have now, who will be our NXT Women's Champion next week?
01:05:03But it's main event time tonight.
01:05:12Nattie looking to add to her legendary career.
01:05:17Push closer, yeah!
01:05:20Can she finally capture the NXT Women's Championship?
01:05:25The low-key legend Nattie challenges Kendall Gray for the NXT Women's title next.
01:05:31Come on, come on!
01:05:48You see the NXT Universe on their feet for the champion.
01:05:52Booker, simply put, what are we about to learn about Kendall Gray?
01:05:58Kendall Gray shocked everybody by going out there and winning their championship.
01:06:02Beating Lola Vice in the middle of that square circle.
01:06:05But let me tell you something.
01:06:06She's taking on Nattie tonight.
01:06:08This could be the shortest title reign in NXT's history here tonight.
01:06:16And that's not how Purple, by any means, Vick.
01:06:23As Gray stares out at the above Women's Champion, Nikita Lyons, Carmen Petrovic, she's brought a little backup in her
01:06:31own right.
01:06:31The Women's Speed Champion, Ren Sinclair.
01:06:34Big fight feel.
01:06:35As we get ready to go to our ring announcer, Mike Rohn.
01:06:42The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Women's Championship.
01:06:56Introducing the challenger, representing the Hard Family Dungeon.
01:07:03From Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Nattie!
01:07:16And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, she is the NXT Women's Champion, Kendall Gray!
01:07:30You see Gray looking at that championship title as she hands it over to the head official here in NXT.
01:07:37Booker, can you properly explain for those that are watching this main event around the world
01:07:42just how difficult the first defense of a championship is?
01:07:47They always say, until you defend that championship, you're truly not champion.
01:07:51And right now, the pressure is definitely going to come like a tidal wave for Kendall Gray in the form
01:07:58of Nattie Neidhart here tonight.
01:08:00Well, typically, when we see Kendall Gray in there with anyone, we talk about not wanting to be on the
01:08:04mat with Gray because of the amateur background.
01:08:06But I don't think we can say that with Nattie.
01:08:08I think Nattie's going to be able to equal out Kendall Gray when it comes to being a mat technician.
01:08:12I'll tell you something.
01:08:12Nattie Neidhart is well equipped, well versed in every, you know, skill there possibly is in the middle of that
01:08:18square circle.
01:08:19I don't think she's going to have any problem handling herself tonight.
01:08:28Beautiful mat wrestling right there by both of the ladies.
01:08:32Also want to throw this out there when it comes to Kendall Gray, it's important that she doesn't look towards
01:08:36next week.
01:08:37But I'm sure it's difficult not to do.
01:08:39Triple threat to determine the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship will take place live here on NXT.
01:08:45There's a nice takedown by Nattie.
01:08:46Nattie trying to get a submission, Gray realizing it, sensing it, fighting her off,
01:08:49trying to get her front face locked on.
01:08:51And look at Nattie going right around Kendall Gray, getting her back, taking Gray down,
01:08:55and now standing tall.
01:08:56Masterclass right now, Vic, that's what this is, a masterclass in technique.
01:09:02Nattie has not held a singles championship in the WWE since 2017,
01:09:07as Kendall Gray just took Nattie right down to the ground.
01:09:13Listen to the NXT universe here, Nattie has been chasing this NXT Women's Championship.
01:09:18Challenged the first woman to hold this title, that was Paige, back in 2013.
01:09:23And regardless of what you and I argue about, we can agree that Kendall Gray is in there
01:09:29with the first ballot Hall of Fame.
01:09:30Of course she is.
01:09:31I mean, the thing is, Nattie, you talking about titles and what not, Nattie felt like
01:09:35opportunity was passing her by as Natalya.
01:09:38That's where Nattie came from.
01:09:40That's where this low-key legend came from.
01:09:42And tonight, Kendall Gray is gonna have to deal with it.
01:09:45And how about Kendall entering right back, and Gray going all the way to the outside.
01:09:49Nattie staying one step ahead.
01:09:51I'm sure she thinks she can teach Gray a thing or two, as we'll see Ryan Petrovich on the outside.
01:09:57But look at some tricks up the sleeve of the NXT Women's Champion.
01:10:01Going right around, coming right in, trying to catch Nattie.
01:10:04And Nattie just throwing Kendall down, and then running across the spine, got caught.
01:10:09And she's in the ankle lock.
01:10:11Can you imagine if Gray taps out Nattie in the center of the ring?
01:10:14You can tell Kendall Gray scouting that right there, Rich.
01:10:17You can tell.
01:10:18Student of the game, trying to get Nattie to tap, and what a story that would be.
01:10:22And her first championship defense minutes in, she made the low-key legend tap.
01:10:27Right in the middle of the ring, so if she locks it in, Nattie could be in real big trouble
01:10:32here.
01:10:33If she lays back and locks it in, this could be over with it.
01:10:36Nattie right now is screaming in pain.
01:10:38And again, sending Gray all the way to the outside and in front of the audience and Petrovich.
01:10:47Look who's waiting right behind, stalking the champion was the challenger.
01:10:54Nattie can not take her eyes off the prize, Rick.
01:10:58Cannot be distracted in this matchup here tonight.
01:11:01Well, Lynch Sinclair has seen enough, and she's going after Lions, but it's two on one.
01:11:06Mistake, come on.
01:11:07That was a mistake.
01:11:08You don't need to be doing this right now.
01:11:10That's a little advice.
01:11:11Go ahead.
01:11:12The women's title defeated for the title.
01:11:14Vice is here.
01:11:15Odds are even.
01:11:18All four of these women battling with the title, hanging in the balance.
01:11:26What a night it has been, this main event is for the NXT Women's Championship.
01:11:29As we inch closer to our next premium live event, NXT Heat Wave, deep in the heart of Texas.
01:11:38Who will be the women's champion?
01:11:40Will it be Kendall Gray or Nattie?
01:11:42This is Gray's first defense of the title.
01:11:45It's a championship Nattie has chased for over a decade.
01:11:49And unlike Karani, Booker, Nattie has a resume to demand championship opportunities like she did.
01:11:56I mean Karani, right now, she's living her best life, why are you bringing that up?
01:12:01She's got an opportunity next week to become the number one contender.
01:12:05And there's that Anvil-like clothesline from Nattie.
01:12:08Nattie going into the cover, hooking that outside, waiting to become champion in a kickout.
01:12:12And what you need to be talking about is Kimber Ray right now in this situation that she's in.
01:12:17A situation that she's never perhaps prepared for.
01:12:21Somebody like Nattie Neidhart with so much experience, so much knowledge to the game.
01:12:27I'm talking about with Nattie, it's a size pick.
01:12:30And right now, she is on full display, on full display.
01:12:33She's in there with a Guinness World Record holder, a former women's champion,
01:12:37a former women's tag team champion, first woman to receive the Leukez award.
01:12:40But she has taken it to her.
01:12:42And look at those rights and lefts from Kendall Gray.
01:12:44Kendall beating down the challenger.
01:12:46Kendall right now, she's out of her game plan right now,
01:12:49throwing shots like that.
01:12:50She's a wrestler, she's a grappling pick.
01:12:53Well, she's trying to throw hands, and now she's trying to go high risk.
01:12:58Looking for the pistol drop kick right into the heart of Natalya.
01:13:02And you start to really think about this for Kendall Gray, who's starting to feel it.
01:13:07Is Nattie a measuring stick test for Gray?
01:13:11She's in there with an old timer.
01:13:13Definitely, definitely a measuring stick.
01:13:15Man, and the thing is, like I say, the pressure, the pressure is on because
01:13:20Kendall Gray talked about herself having that target on her back.
01:13:23And right now, Natalya's the first one with that bow trying to put it in and do it.
01:13:29Here we go.
01:13:30There it is.
01:13:31There it is.
01:13:31Looking for the move.
01:13:33Go, go.
01:13:34That could be it.
01:13:35That could be it.
01:13:36A little STO and a kick out by Kendall Gray.
01:13:39And I go back to something you talked about off air with me, and I'm starting to see it.
01:13:43Kendall Gray may not be ready to face the caliber of athlete of Nattie.
01:13:47Nattie has been able to stay there move for move.
01:13:49She is right now just having her way.
01:13:52This Nattie is different than Natalya.
01:13:54This Nattie is in there for one thing, to win, to dominate, to hurt.
01:13:58And she's looking for the sharpshooter right now.
01:14:00Kendall Gray doing her best.
01:14:01Inside cradle, inside cradle.
01:14:03Almost getting her.
01:14:04And this isn't the same Nattie that Kendall Gray grew up watching on Total Divas as
01:14:09rolling right through Kendall now with a reversal.
01:14:13Nattie answering right back.
01:14:14Nice takedown, rolling through, trying to pick the ankle and got it.
01:14:18What I'm talking about.
01:14:19And a counter.
01:14:20My God, what a counter by Nattie.
01:14:21Kendall Gray is trying to pull out all the stops, but Nattie is just one,
01:14:25perhaps two steps ahead.
01:14:27Kendall Gray has not gotten out of the blocks truly in this matchup.
01:14:30We have never seen Gray be beaten down like this.
01:14:35I hate to say it like that.
01:14:36I tell you, I'm looking at Kendall Gray and I'm looking at her body names right now.
01:14:40I can tell that she's almost seemed to have run out of ideas right now with Nattie.
01:14:45Did you see the roll by Nattie allowing Nattie to get the full body scissors around
01:14:49the torso to squeeze the air out of lungs?
01:14:53And that is a deep choke right now locked in.
01:14:55Kendall Gray may go to sleep tonight.
01:14:58And she may add that being Nattie, another submission victory to her Guinness World Record.
01:15:02She's not letting go.
01:15:04Tried to escape right there, but Nattie, no, no, no.
01:15:07Still got it locked in.
01:15:08I don't know where Kendall- But wait a minute.
01:15:10Trying to get out one more time.
01:15:12Tried to pick the ankle, but Nattie was able to block it.
01:15:14Looking for another submission, trying to break the hold of Kendall Gray to extend
01:15:19the arm to try to hyperextend the elbow, shifting weight, shoulders down, and a kick out.
01:15:22That was smart right there by Kendall, telling me she's still thinking right now.
01:15:26Going to her base, going to her base right there, Vic.
01:15:29It's Kendall trying to answer back, looking for a submission in her own right.
01:15:33Trying to kick off that hand from Nattie.
01:15:35Nattie now using the same thing Kendall did.
01:15:37And again, both women have relinquished the hold to continue the match.
01:15:40With the women's title hanging in the balance, big elbow.
01:15:44Elbow connected to the temple.
01:15:46Connected big time, I thought she should have won for a cover there, no, Vic.
01:15:49This could be a mistake by the champion.
01:15:52This could be a huge mistake.
01:15:53In her first defense with that title hanging in the balance,
01:15:56looking again for the missile dropkick, got caught.
01:15:59Got caught.
01:16:00Got caught, and is gonna get put right into the sharpshooter.
01:16:04That is it.
01:16:05Many women have tapped.
01:16:07That is it, Vic.
01:16:09Nowhere for Kendall Gray to go.
01:16:12Nattie with a deep submission locked in.
01:16:15This is how Nattie beat Jada Parker.
01:16:19Is she finally gonna add that women's title dragging Kendall back out?
01:16:24She's gonna have to tap this.
01:16:26Cinched in, body screaming, lower back's gotta be on fire.
01:16:31Kendall Gray again, showing you the heart of a champion, getting to that bottom rope.
01:16:36She got close, Nattie.
01:16:37She got close, Nattie.
01:16:37She got close, Nattie.
01:16:40Nattie's got some shit right there, man.
01:16:42Nattie going right back.
01:16:43Nattie got caught.
01:16:43Oh, whoa.
01:16:44Roll through, roll up.
01:16:45Near fall, shifting weight.
01:16:46Another near fall in this matchup.
01:16:48One more time, referee couldn't get the three.
01:16:51This matchup continuing, shades of Gray.
01:16:53Just look at the Great American Fast out of nowhere, and that was a statement made by Gray.
01:17:02Here is your winner, and still, the NXT Women's Champion, Kendall Gray.
01:17:13And what was it you were saying about going for the hunt?
01:17:17Because you just saw the champion take out that bow and arrow.
01:17:23This was a really, could be a turning point, some may say.
01:17:28All four women fighting out, odds were equal.
01:17:31Kendall Gray with that big, big back elbow strike.
01:17:35But Nattie would not be deterred.
01:17:38She finally locked in the sharpshooter.
01:17:40Kendall Gray, in pain, was able to roll up on the third attempt for the sharpshooter.
01:17:44Fight through, and then bam, right there.
01:17:47Turned the lights to black with the shades of Gray to retain her championship.
01:17:54You always remember your first, and that was the first championship defense.
01:18:02Nattie might want to turn around.
01:18:04There's Jada Parker.
01:18:06Parker and Nattie.
01:18:07A lot of unfinished business.
01:18:10Petrovic, Lions, trying to run interference.
01:18:19Oh, and that issue is definitely far from over.
01:18:23But now the issue is starting to rise up for the champion.
01:18:27As Kendall Gray looks around, the champion is surrounded.
01:18:31All eyes on Gray, all eyes locked on the NXT Women's Championship.
01:18:38I think the GM is mine.
01:18:38We've got to be a hit.
01:18:40We've got to be a bunch ofqua'.
01:18:41And now the
01:18:42If it's over, they prefer to be fascinated by the Guardian
