Then. Now.

Together.

We are live in City Beautiful, Orlando,
Florida, inside the Performance Center

for our final premium live event before
we stand and deliver.

Will Ricky Saints be on the marquee on
the biggest night of our year? Saints

would become a two -time NXT champion
tonight. That is, if he can defeat the

champion, Joe Hendry. A lot of believers
are here tonight.

St. Hendry, our main event tonight at
Vengeance Day.

Vengeance is on the mind of this woman,
Tatum Paxley, who's looking for payback

against her former partner and her
former friend, Izzy Dame of the Culling,

will walk out of Vengeance Day with the
Women's North American Championship.

Also on this night, we enter the
underground.

Can Kalani Jordan survive the unknown as
she enters into this match against a

woman who will be entering her own
element, the queen of the underground,

of course, being Lola Bikes. Fight
Kalani Jordan. Fight tonight at

Day.

As sunlight radiates from above,
everything is revealed with

shimmering beauty.

But it takes one unforgiving glare to
expose the inherent malice within.

And in the heart of WWE's epicenter of
future stars, a day of reckoning

has arrived.

It's about revenge and pain. It's all
going down at Vengeance Day.

Endless sufferer can unleash
indescribable fury, which can also be

gold. Tatum Taxley looking for the
ultimate payback by dethroning Izzy Dame

the Women's North American Championship.

Doesn't matter what version of Tatum
shows up at Vengeance Day, every version

Tatum ends with me keeping this North
American Championship.

Izzy, I was never meant to be played
with.

When inflicting hate, you may reap.

Which is so one must strike back to
settle the score.

These two are ready for a fight. Kalani
Jordan, Lola Vice, NXT Underground.

Lola Vice, I tapped her at once. I can
definitely do it again, especially in an

underground match.

She thinks she can hang on my element.
This is my world, and you don't know

nothing about it. No pins, no ropes, so
I'm going to knock your ass out.

When one loses everything and returns
for punishment, A hunter becomes the

hunter. Who stands tall against Deion
Lennox? Stop Tony D 'Angelo. You turn

box with dark shapes, I'm going to be
waiting for your ass in the parking lot.

It's all tight.

I'll be ready, Deion. Ready to whip your
ass, drag your body to this ring, and

beat you in front of everybody.

Believing in your ability is vital for
defending your crime.

But it's even more satisfying.

To reclaim it. That championship was
held by a WWE superstar.

Me. Let it be. Joe Hendry versus Ricky
Stantz for my NXT

championship.

In the arena, there'll still be chat and
we believe.

And Ricky, I got no problem kicking your
punk ass in Vegas State.

Tonight, retribution comes for the
superstars of NXT.

Destinies will be fulfilled.

Or destroy.

Welcome to Vengeance Day.

Tonight our superstars don't just
compete. They seek retribution.

Rivalries have crossed the line.

Tempers have reached their limit. And
eventual locker room is ready to compete

with malicious intent.

Welcome to NXT Vengeance Day.

And there is Dark State's Deion Lennox
waiting for Tony D 'Angelo just like he

said he would. Lennox, D 'Angelo, one
-on -one tonight.

Drama is forever.

contact. It's a street fight!

Introducing first, from London, England,
Blake Monroe!

Oh, we might have a parking lot brawl,
obviously. A little bit later tonight is

D 'Angelo.

Still has not arrived. Deion Lennox
waiting for him somewhat patiently. We

off tonight with a street fight.

Walking in ringside, Nick Joseph
alongside one and the only, a two -time

Hall of Famer, Booker T. Booker. It's
here. It's Vengeance Day. Are you ready?

I'm ready. Are you ready? I'm ready,
dog. Let's kick this thing off. It's our

final premium live event before Stan and
Deliver live in St.

Louis.

Wait a minute.

Is that a new beat?

Okay.

And her opponent from Port St.

Lucie, Florida, Shada Parker.

Well, that woman is looking to beat down
her opponent.

Wait a minute. What? That is a new beat.

Oh, yeah.

Well, I'm glad you're excited tonight,
Book. You're in rare form. That's what I

was getting ready to say. Miss Parker is
looking to beat down. That just makes

you want to feel it, right? You build a
groove.

Give me something big.

Let me see the shoulder roll. Let me see
it.

If I shake it, I break it. And someone
might be broken in this matchup. No

in this street fight.

Oh, yeah.

Here we go.

And both these women wasted no time. And
look, for Blake Monroe, she's a woman

who believes she is savage and fabulous
all at once. You know what? The one

thing I noticed, both ladies straight
down and all black. What does that mean?

What does that mean, man? Huh?

Is it going to be a blackout?

It might be something.

Someone's going to be leaving black and
blue, that's for sure. And Booker, who

has the edge, though, in this street
fight as both women are just trying to

each other apart? I feel bad for the
official there. It's going to be a stand

for it. How far both ladies are willing
to go. We know Blake Monroe.

I need to remind everyone, it was
Monroe's idea for this street fight. And

know, Ms. Parker was not going to back
down.

It took a little bit too much time. And
again, there are no rules. You see the

pendo sticks lined up around the trap
can to your right. Get it, Parker. Just

pull the cable out.

Anything and everything will go. And
looking for that. Oh, that was shot DDT.

Found it there by Parker on the outside.

Tonight, indeed, will live up to its
name.

Bang.

Street fight moves right here.

Look, there's nowhere to run. There's
nowhere to hide in this street fight.

There's no rules. There's no mercy.
There's no love lost between these two

women. Anything goes.

I mean, we have to have a definitive
victor here tonight.

It's a street fight between these two
ladies. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Ooh.

I'm trying to get a good look, Brooke.

I think that's an umbrella. Again,
anything and everything is legal.

Raining down.

Big shots.

Right now, big.

Ceprioni there to hear someone say they
quit or count to three.

She wants no part of that table, but
just slid in that steel chair.

Oh,

yeah. Well, what did she just do now?

She got rid of it. Because you know why?
She hates everyone here. She hates her

opponent. She hates the NXT universe.

She is very vindictive in her actions.
You think Blake is here to please the

fans? No. Blake is here to put money in
her pocket. Blake is here to win

championships and create a legacy like
no other pick. Come on, man. These two

have been spitting venom at each other.
Had to be separated. Booker, if you

remember, on two separate occasions this
past Tuesday, Ms.

Parker now gets the upper hand. And if
this breaks it down into a slugfest.

I think you'd have to give the advantage
to Jada Park with a nice neck breaker

by Blake Monroe into the cover, hook of
the leg, and a kick out. I don't know. I

mean, I don't think we've seen the full
potential of Blake Monroe.

I mean, come on, Vic. Blake Monroe
stepped into NXT, and she did exactly

she said she was going to do, and that
was win championships. She does that

already.

What can we say? What can we say about
Jada Park? How many championships, Vic?

How many? How many?

To answer your question, it'd be zero.
Exactly.

Take a look at what Blake Monroe's
doing. She set it up, but she's going to

the price.

And Jada now with a look in her eyes and
a kendo stick in her hand.

Man.

You felt that a time or two during your
career, haven't you?

I tell you, the kendo stick in her hand,
it has no mercy.

I mean, Blake.

And again,

action can spill out anywhere here in
the performance center, but the victory

and the decision must take place inside
the ring. But what is Jada looking for

underneath? Oh, yeah.

Here we go.

And I'll ask you this, too, because
we've talked about it already once. Is

locker room feeling the pressure due to
the time of year we are in? Because Dan

and Deliver is four weeks away.

WrestleMania is around the corner as
well.

I mean, this, I mean, there's a
question, yes.

I mean, right now, this is a pivotal
moment heading into WrestleMania.

You want to be 100 % heading into
WrestleMania, but you definitely want to

impress the higher up. I'm talking about
the office.

Right now, these ladies are going all
out.

This is about bragging rights right
here. No diamonds on the line or

These two want to impress as we inch
closer to stand and deliver in St.

Louis. Missile drop kick, hook of the
leg. Will it be enough? And Parker able

kick out once again. At the root of
this, though, the reason why we're here

this street fight.

is Monroe is upset that Parker upstaged
her. Let's call it for what it is. As

Blake put it herself, the most important
thing any woman can do in the WWE is

interrupt her. I agree with you on that.
But I'm going to tell you right now,

I'm sure Monroe, here we go. Into the
cover. Here we go.

I'm sure Blake Monroe is still steaming
from not having that championship around

her waist as well. That's why you
deliver big shots like that. Try to get

over with and add more to the plate,
baby. I love it, man.

Blake Monroe, now everything is at her
disposal.

Right now, she's using everything, man.
Right now, anything goes, Vic.

I mean, you can use every bit of the
furniture. I mean, tables, ladders,

whatever you can use in this matchup
here, Vic.

I think the other thing we can agree on
in this match is Miss Parker, Jada

Parker, when she returned, she indeed
steeled a spotlight for Blake Monroe.

And she's looking to pick up a statement
win as we inch closer to standing the

winner. I mean, that's what you're
supposed to do. I mean, Jada Parker is a

prime ticket here.

In NXT, I mean, looking to make that
main roster.

And the thing is, you've got to get
through matches like this in order to

looked at. Oh, yes!

Oh, yes!

What I'm talking about, this is a
different Blake Monroe. We haven't seen

full potential of Blake. Trust me on
that, Vic. How many times did I tell you

that?

I keep hearing you say it, and I'm
starting to believe it.

Because you've got to wonder what evil
thoughts have been...

Brewing in the mind all week of Blake
Monroe is... Yeah!

Back of the neck across. Now Jada
Parker, there's nowhere for Parker to

She's stuck.

There used to be a song, Vic. There used
to be a song back in the day. It looked

like Blake Monroe was going to pull it
off. He was tall.

Ring my bell. A little high step action.
A little high step action. At the same

time. Oh, yeah!

Blake Monroe mocking.

Jada Park, I love it. Is this gonna be
enough in this street?

in this situation right now. That's
who's bringing out the pearls.

Getting ready to pull off the pearl
river plunge.

Right here, baby.

A loaded right hand buckling the body of
Parker.

And another kick out from Jay. I love
it, man. Certainly showing you some

resilience. But now Blake Monroe, look
at his cross face.

Tendo's sticking across the face.
Digging into that cheekbone. Digging

jaw. Let me tell you something. Blake
Monroe obviously came into this thing

a game plan, Ben.

Right now, this is all by design right
here. You can tell everything is very,

very meticulous here being done by. Oh,
wait a minute.

Man, that was clever.

Very clever.

Yes, it was.

A little bit of a face -off. Oh!

in spring training, but Jada Parker is
swinging for the fences. Taking it to

woodshed right now, Vic. I remember back
in the day when my mama used to tell me

to go get that switch.

It was something just like that. But
that's another story.

We can't talk about that. And we'll talk
about that off air as Jada Parker

turning this right back around. But you
see Jada Parker nodding 100%. And

Booker, I go back to, you've got to
think that she's feeling the effects of

running into the steel steps right here
to your right. The intensity right now

there.

He's got to let it all hang out.

This match right here has very high
stakes. Very high stakes. Big

Jada trying to get into the cover.

Blake Monroe wisely getting out at odds.
That was smart.

Parker might be on to something, though.
If you go back over the last several

weeks. When she said that Blake likes to
do things the easy way, I would

typically agree.

But Blake Monroe is showing a different
side of her as you've talked about here

tonight. Blake Monroe is the one who
asked for this pick. I mean, she called

this street fight. Blake Monroe right
now is throwing her men in this matchup

pick. Come on, man. Give her credit. I
did. That's why I said I typically would

have agreed with her. But Blake Monroe
is showing a different side of herself.

That evil.

Coming back out.

Oh, watch out.

Mike Rome getting out of dodge. A ring
announcer here. And again, it's all

legal. It's a street fight. Derek
Sanders is only here to count a pin or

someone submit.

Oh, wait a minute.

What's in the bag?

I want to know what's in the bag.

What is in Blake Monroe's hand?

It's a brick.

Across the spine.

This is intense right now, Vic. You can
say that again.

Jada unleashing.

What's on the mind of Parker now?

Oh,

wait a minute.

Oh, yeah.

Wait a minute.

Oh, my God.

Table snap!

We just had one here at Vengeance Day.

That

was one

hell of a teardrop from Jada.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.

I have to say it again. Wow. Blake
Monroe is showing a different side of

herself. So is Jada Parker.

Both showing you they're willing to go
to great lengths to earn a victory here

on this premium live event known as
Vengeance Day.

And that kendo stick just cracked in
half. Big headbutt from Blake.

And what a knee under the jaw.

Good night.

It's now Blake in disbelief.

to kick off Vengeance Day tonight,
Brooke.

Let's go, Jada! Let's go, Jada! Let's
go, Jada!

Let's go, Jada! Let's go, Jada! Let's
go, Jada! Let's go, Jada! Let's

go, Jada! Let's go, Jada! NXT Universe
split here tonight. A little bit more

Jada Harper, but you asked what's in the
bag. What's in the bag?

What's in the bag?

You can't say that again, Cork. And
Blake Monroe.

Oh, what the?

She just threw.

It was in the bag.

Blake Monroe goes into that deep, deep,

dark mind of hers to pull out all the
stuff in this street fight.

We go back. This is that teardrop with
that Slim Jim table snap. It was a

extra spicy as Brooke would put it.

best friend and they paid dividends for
Blake Monroe for a moment blinding Jada

Parker and then fouling it up with that
glamour shot DDP to put an end to the

night and to pick up a statement win
here at Vengeance Day

and we learn once more Blake

Monroe will do what it takes

to get the job done.

This April, live from Las Vegas,

the best in the world, CM Park.

I'm the champ and I call the shot.

Versus the original tribal team, Roman
Reigns. Two of the biggest stars for the

World Heavyweight Championship.

Vegas demands an answer.

You will acknowledge me.

WrestleMania.

This is not it!

Wednesdays. The road to greatness starts
here.

Will. History is shaped on Wednesday
night.

Right. This is gonna be epic.

WWE Evolve, Wednesday, 8 Eastern, 5
Pacific.

I'm Lainey Luff, and I'm so excited to
be here on Evolve.

I grew up loving wrestling, and before I
even knew it was a possibility to do

this as a career, I was preparing
myself.

I grew up riding quads on the dunes of
Oregon, playing competitive sports.

and looking for the next big adventure.

Until I was diagnosed with Crohn's
disease, and that was really scary. It

tough. But what was I going to do? Give
up?

No.

I started my wrestling career at 21 and
never looked back.

And now it's time to make an impact on
Evolve.

All my life I heard, there's something
about you, Trill. We just can't quite

our finger on it.

Maybe I just see the world in a
different lens.

Because in this world, you can really be
anybody you want to be.

So that's what I am.

That's why I design my own clothes.

You see, my drip is just an extension of
me and my imagination.

Am I misunderstood at times? Yeah. Been
labeled a non -cast once or twice.

But somehow, somewhere, I always find
myself at the focal point.

I was recruited to Syracuse to play
football.

I couldn't envision the plays before it
even happened. And that's what led me to

play for the Miami Dolphins and to lock
down your favorite receivers every week.

Yo, and it's crazy how the world works
and

where my imagination has taken me
because I remember my grandma sitting me

and putting Judgment Day on 2007 and
here I am now in the WWE.

In Evolve.

So as I evolve in that ring in front of
you all, you won't be able to put your

finger on it, but just enjoy the show.

And that's not me keeping it real with
you.

That's just me keeping it true with you.

The worst fear of every man in that
Evolve locker room has come true.

Harlem Lewis.

Harlem Lewis is back in the ball.

He's a brawler. He's a scrapper. He's a
street fighter.

And if you thought I didn't give a damn
before, then just wait until you see the

pain I inflict on my opponents now.

Harlem fights because it is blood.

I just spent two months in Japan where I
learned from the toughest on the

planet.

And I brought back some things from
those Japanese dojos that are going to

me directly to the Evolve Men's
Championship.

I'm back for one reason.

One thing.

Fame adoption ceremony at the Dolby

Just where were you at last Tuesday?

You weren't there to enjoy an absolute
experience, and you damn sure weren't

there when Miles Bourne and Joe Hendry
decided to jump me.

But you know who was?

Vanity Project was there.

But where was my friend Ethan Page?

Where was the greatest North American?
Okay, I get the point. I wasn't there,

Ricky. I don't know if you remember.

I just lost what I had held for almost a
year. I think I needed to clear my mind

a little bit. Okay, okay, I get it.

But where is your mind at night?

It's here. You have a big match.

Yes, yes.

And that's why Joe Hendry is going to
try to pull out every trick in the book

keep the NXT title, and that also
includes Miles Bourne. Yeah. I need to

the NXT title so I can go back to being
the face of this brand. You remember

what that feels like, right?

Huh? You've held it before. You
remember, right? Hey, Ethan, you

Yeah, I remember.

I need to get back to that, and I need
my friend to help me with that.

That's what I'm asking. Okay, okay,
okay.

You need my help.

I got it.

I'll be there for you.

Really? Thank you. I promise.

Oh, thank you so much. Look, think about
this. Me, two -time NXT champion, and

you, two -time greatest North American
champion.

Thank you.

Now, two -time.

Exactly what the hell is going on?

even going to have a fight tonight
that's going to be actually tested under

rules. It's a sellout tonight. I'm
talking about the boys peeking behind

curtain right now.

Everybody in the XT is waiting for a
long time.

For a long time.

Cutler. James tasted that crowbar.

D 'Angelo is now just locked down that
gate here at the performance center.

And maybe maybe Dion is going to regret.
Saying he would find Tony on sight. I

mean, this is all hell.

I don't know if you heard what the
official just said. He said, we got to

this going inside the ring.

This hasn't even begun.

You think these guys are thinking about
that right now?

You think they're thinking about that
right now? They're thinking about

each other apart. They like to do it
right now.

Hey, man, anything goes.

Anything goes.

I've said it before about Tony.

He's principled, but damaged. He's
heroic, but unhealthy.

And you start to think about this
obsession to take out Dark State has

too obsessive in trying to destroy those
four rogue athletes.

Tony D knows about street justice, man.
That's what this is.

That's what this is.

I mean, you go and teach, you can't code
no vote. Hey, that's the thing right

there. Dear Lennox, he asked for it. He
won it. And now he got it.

He wants to be a major player here at
NXT.

This is what you got to do.

doing his best. And you called it a rock
through sellout, Book. I told you. I

told you.

He can't survive.

Tony can't survive, Book.

There's no backup.

Oh,

yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Look,

things are different around here. They
don't have the upper hand. They don't

have it.

words, but is this going to start now?

After all that?

Ring the damn bell, son!

Ring it!

There it is!

There it is! There you go!

NXT Universe right now at a fever pitch.

Can D 'Angelo finally put down Dark
State? Deep down, D 'Angelo is felt

discarded by a system.

That's regarded to be something for the
people, but the people have been

disregarded. They've been disregarded by
the starts. And I'll ask you this.

What happens if D 'Angelo fails?

I mean, I mean, he's going to go back to
the drawing board. The thing is, man,

he can't get too emotional in this
situation. He has to keep everything

I'm talking about this emotion.

He cannot get too emotional in this type
of matchup right here, bitch. Talk

about D 'Angelo returning.

I mean, have you liked D 'Angelo in his
way that he's been operating since his

return since deadline? I mean, D
'Angelo, he's freaky. I mean, he's a

at the same time. It's all about
strategy.

He got here for one, right? He's back
for one reason. And that's a take.

Starks stayed clean out of the game.

He's not the hunted animal. He's the
hunted animal.

Yeah, not holding back. And we talk
about D 'Angelo moving like a vigilante

sports, throwing a vacuum where the
system has collapsed. But that system is

where the four -rowed athlete.

Oh, what a spine buster. Cover. Count.

That's nine walk right there, baby.

That was sidewalk slam.

Just as I get done talking about it,
Dark State taking over by fourth. You

it firsthand.

Let's go, Tony!

Let's go, Tony!

Let's go, Tony!

Let's go, Tony!

Everyone behind Tony D 'Angelo. Yeah,
they're stalking Tony D right there.

kid's real comfortable with the
situation. Done talking with a big

now. maintaining control is Tony D. I
think one thing we can both agree

on from what we've seen in the parking
lot to here is both these men

competing with vengeance in their
hearts. Hold on, Vic.

We're still connected right now. We're
still maintaining control.

The Olympics going for the ride.

Okay.

And look who has risen.

Look at the eyes.

Look at the eyes of Tony G right there.
They tell your story, Vic.

Those eyes do.

They certainly do. Tony now answers to
only himself, uncompromising. He's been

sitting, as he said, waiting for this
moment since the summer. Power shots

now, right now.

Power shots right now. Oh, look at this.
Torch a rat neck breaker. Oh, yes.

And D 'Angelo right back up. Not even
breathing. He's feeling it, Vic. He's

feeling it.

Whoa, up and over. You can say he's
feeling it because, again, Booker, he's

waiting. He's been waiting for this
moment. And this is the last piece of

puzzle. This is the last domino, so to
speak, that needs to fall.

It's Deion Lennox.

He's already dropped sugars.

He cost Dark State the tag titles, as I
mentioned.

Cutler's got dropped a few times. And
now Target acquired.

Charging. Oh.

Mistake. That was a mistake.

Big mistake.

Deion Lennox lowered him in right there.

I don't know if he lowered him in. I
don't know. He's got luck. I'm going to

tell you right now. Deion Lennox right
now. This kid's a beaker. He's smart.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a
minute.

He remembers.

This is what Tony tried to do to Deion
several weeks ago.

On a Tuesday on NXT, he's going to crush
D 'Angelo's ankle.

He's going to break it.

That was a little too close, but look at
the eyes of Deion Lennox and the

official right now using as much
discretion as he possibly can.

Trying anything and everything he can
do, telling everyone to get back into

damn ring. But whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Deion Lennon, this kid is there in the
front row.

Deion Lennon's as hell big on matching a
huge impression to Dawkins. This is a

leader. He's a leader.

Phoenix, get them in the ring. They're
in the front row.

What is it going to take, Book? He's got
to be willing to go that extra mile

right there. Deion Lennon, he's looking
to take himself out to take Cody G out.

Oh, my God.

these two. He knows what needs to be
done. He's starting his count and he's

three. But he's letting these two fight.
He's letting these two beat the hell

out of one another.

And somehow, someway, Deion is up.

What a fight.

What a fight, Vic.

We have been speechless at different
times of this match as both men beat the

count at eight and they get back into
the ring.

Deion Lennox right now hoisting up and
take a look at this. A little assist.

sit -down powerbomb from the top rope to
put D 'Angelo down, and Tony's right

shoulder just gets up.

Another look, and bam!

You know, and how big of a moment, by
the way, is this for someone like Deion

Lennox? I mean, Deion Lennox, like I
say, he's hellbent on bringing singles

championship gold to Dark State, and you
gotta respect that from this young lad.

This guy right now, he's putting
every... thing on the line here. It's

D. I'm talking about 101.

Bono y Bono. You gotta give this kid a
lot of respect.

Dion called Tony a speed bump.

A speed bump to the main event of Stand
and Deliver.

I wouldn't necessarily call him a speed
bump.

A speed bump to the NXT Championship.

And I gotta agree with you, Book,
because that speed bump just stood up.

Oh!

He looked like a wild game.

And they got counter coming right back
in.

Hoist it up.

Counter one more time. And then spear.

Oh, baby.

Listen to this place rise.

This went through a warehouse.

OTM, the locker room, security.

Bodies had to separate Dark State from
getting involved.

They spilled through, I mean, this was
one of the damnedest things I've seen.

From going through walls, going through
our tables.

to crush the spirit of dark state not
just with that spear but also bam with

exclamation point as i mentioned d
'angelo survived tonight

and in doing so you're looking into the
eyes of the man

who came back for two reasons phase one
mission complete

but i gotta ask you what space Two for

Tony DeAngelo.

What are you doing?

Show's out there.

Where are we?

Midway.

You're looking at the future of this
show.

really get this show started.

Let's go.

Rematch?

Have you ever been surrounded by people
that felt like you were just

suffocating?

That's what it was like with Izzy Dame.

Every moment felt heavier.

The more I struggled, the harder it was
to keep up. And the harder I tried to

keep my head above water, the faster I
sank.

I spent so much time looking for
friendship, answers, looking for

Looking for something to complete me.

What I didn't realize is I was just
searching for pieces of myself.

I played with dolls, created worlds
where everything made sense to me.

Where I could control the story.

But I held on too tightly.

I tried to become what I thought I
needed to be.

But in doing that, I lost sight of who I
already was.

So...

I let go.

And when I did, everything slowed down.

The noise disappeared, and I finally saw
things clearly.

The strength I was chasing in other
people, the comfort, the peace, it was

already inside me.

This feud with Izzy isn't about control
anymore.

It's about clarity.

It's about finding balance and stepping
into the right mindset.

And when this is over, I won't walk out
as the version of Tatum Paxley Izzy

tried to create.

I'll walk out as the version of Tatum
Paxley I was meant to be.

Suffocating.

That's what it was like with Izzy Day.

Drowning because of me.

The one thing you don't need my help
for.

There's my champion.

What's going on, Iz?

Just laughing at the fact that Tatum is
still trying to convince herself and

everyone that there's some mystical,
final version of herself that nobody's

before. There's not, by the way. Tatum
is incapable of change.

She'll forever and always be the same
stubborn girl we met her as. And that's

why we cut ties with her.

Exactly. So it doesn't matter what
version of Tatum shows up at Vengeance

every version of Tatum ends with me
keeping this North American

And now it's our turn.

Those NXT tag team titles end with you
and I, Nico.

This is what we've worked so hard for.

This is what all that pain was for.

We were supposed to have a clear path to
Dark State, but Stone ruined that. No,

the titles are a hot commodity, Nico.

Every team wants them.

then I need to be a variable that nobody
can prepare for. Be the reason why the

future bends.

Calculated, controlled to benefit us.

That's the new number one contender. And
that just is what it is.

According to Las Vegas, April 16th
through the 20th, all new activities

return a fan -made experience.

It's the largest superstar in
WrestleMania history and a stacked

lineup, including Stone Cold Steve
Austin, Stephanie McMahon, CM Punk, AJ

Penta, and more. Photo and auto
opportunities are on sale now, and

fast. So head to WWEWorld .com.

What a night it has been here.

At Vengeance Day, there is Lola Weiss,
not 100%, but is cleared to compete. NXT

Underground still to come live tonight.
But in moments, two former partners, two

former friends, battle for the Women's
North American Championship.

Will Izzy regret turning her back on
Tatum? We find out tonight and in

at Vengeance Day.

Welcome back, Tatum.

I'm sure being in here brings back so
many memories for you.

My entire life, I have twisted myself
into knots just trying to find love.

We need to stop worrying. You're with us
now.

I have Izzy, the culling. They've
accepted me, and I'm so happy you're

be there supporting me through the
biggest match of my career, holding me

air in the NXT Women's Championship in
my hand.

I remember winning that. I thought it
was going to be the best day of my

life, but I was wrong.

One of the many lessons that I taught
you, if you remember, the

calling can always give and they can
always see.

a two -time women's champion because of
Izzy.

All I see is the same broken, naive girl
who tells all of her problems to dogs

because they can't talk back and tell
you that you're the real reason for all

your problems.

I'm the one who became the new women's
North American champion.

I promised the WWE Universe a
championship match tonight. Whoever

come on out here.

Who will answer the open challenge?

Hey, the pack's leaving. The chain's
off. Holding everybody back. Wait a

Is he Dane? First come, first served.

Is he Dane? Good.

North American woman champion.

Doing whatever it takes, preying on the
feeble and creating opportunity.

The calling always prevails, and that
just is what it is.

I crave acceptance, trying to be exactly
what somebody else needed of me.

Honestly, Tatum, it's pathetic.

You are.

But in that loneliness, I learned to
finally start

listening to all of you.

wanted me. And for the first time in my
entire life, because of you, I have felt

real love.

Nothing is going to beat the
satisfaction I'm going to feel when I

North American championship from you at
Vengeance Day.

When I beat Izzy Dame at Vengeance Day,
that title won't just be mine. It will

be ours!

This pain that you've put me through,
your manipulation,

It's all only temporary, you'll
understand.

I was never meant to be played with.

Tatum said a victory tonight would be
more satisfying

than any other in her career.

You have to agree with her on that one
for everything she's been put through by

Izzy Damon and Cullen.

Wow. I mean, for me to not believe that,
I mean, after winning the NXT

championship, it seemed like that would
have been the greatest.

Triumph, the greatest moment in her
career. Now you think this back, this

Just any day, someone who tried so hard
to guide her.

Someone who tried to give her that
expert tootlet.

I can't believe this.

I'll blink by John Spears, Nico Vance,
the culling. Here comes the champion.

And I'm pretty sure I know how you're
going to answer this, but we've seen the

interviews. We've seen the interaction.

We've seen the frustration.

Do you get a sense of fear anywhere
inside Izzy Dance?

Of course not.

Of course not? Let me tell you
something. She's not fearful?

Fearful of?

Tatum Paxson. No, let me tell you
something.

Izzy Davis is the one who put this thing
together.

Izzy Davis, the quarterback.

She's the Tom Brady of this whole damn
thing, man. Come on.

Well, we are set for a championship
clash between two former friends, two

partners. Let's go up to our ring
announcer, Mike Rome.

The following contest scheduled for one
fall is for the NXT

women.

Introducing the challenger, from Dallas,
Texas, Kata Paxley!

And her opponent, representing the...

In this matchup, Tatum Paxley can become
the second woman to hold the NXT

Women's and Women's North American
titles.

The other is the current Women's World
Champion, Stephanie Becker.

It's a pretty good company to be in, is
it not? Can we at least agree on that?

It would be, yes.

It would be.

on the champion, and the challenger
wasting no time.

And in the past, we've seen her
eliminate those like Nico Vann and John

in the past.

Those two men on the outside do not
scare her, and that could be a big point

this matchup, is she will have no fear.
It's not about that big.

It's about being overzealous right now.
Look at Tatum passing it right now.

She's going to run into something. She's
going to run into something big.

Thinking like this right here. Trust me
on that.

This combination of offense followed by
that drop. She's looking great. She's

looking great right now. And I'll give
you your point.

Someone in a high -profile matchup like
this can run out of gas quicker than the

other. They could go too much too soon.
Is that what you're trying to get to

here? You've got to have a tempo and get
on the pace and control the stamina in

a matchup like this.

I'm talking about what?

We're about a minute into this matchup
right now, and she's quick.

She's quick. She's breathing heavy
already.

On the topic of the women's division,
our interim general manager, Robert

has an announcement tonight regarding
the NXT women's title that, yes, you are

right, Tatum Paxson has worn in the
past. And she was wearing the

She was the champion. If you'll remind
me, who cost her that title?

I'll answer it. Is it Amy or the rest of
the co -hosts?

Can I answer that? Can I answer that?
She cost herself that championship.

And she's just going to miss it.

Let's remember though

Tatum and the rest of the locker room to
answer P .A. Hale's open challenge. We

obviously know who got the last laugh
that night. I'm not taking anything away

from Tatum Packard. I've said it many,
many times. Tatum Packard's a hell of a

talent. If she could just get her head
on straight, if she could get her mind

right, Vic, she could be a hell of a
champ.

Sematary drive. It was countered. And
Izzy Dane trying to turn this thing

around. And O got countered. DDT inside
cradle by the foundation.

And another near fall.

Going right around.

Folded down one more time. Another near
fall in this matchup. But there's

absolutely no way you believe that Tatum
has robbed all her friends like Izzy

insinuates.

Lila Valkyrie, she's not accepting any
phone calls.

How do you know?

Izzy Day, she's not accepting any phone
calls. That one I'll give you credit

for. Sean Spears, he's not accepting any
phone calls.

That's my point. That's my point right
there.

Nobody, I mean nobody, it's not about
friendship, Vic. How many times do I

to say it? It's about sex and
championship.

And until, and until Taylor Paxley
understands that, she's going to have a

time.

She was a champion at one point. She was
collecting those champions.

Why she's not champion right now?
Because she didn't listen. She didn't

to the Tully. The Tully was trying to
make sure. She held on to it.

That's a hell of a commodity that
championship did. A lot of money goes

That was a hell of a boot. And Izzy
Dames said on Tuesday, all she sees.

When she looks at Tatum Paxley as the
same broken, lost, naive girl who lives

a dollhouse, I'm sure you could get the
same way. No, no, I'm not saying that.

I'm not going to sit here and say that.

What's not true about that? What's not
true about that? Tatum Paxley, like I

said, is a hell of a talent. Tatum
Paxley could be still champion right

she wants to give everybody a title
shot. She wants to play with that title

like it was one of those little balls
that she threw. This is business, man.

You better be careful what you say,
because Tatum might make one of those

T dolls, and all of a sudden I'm not
going to have a broadcast.

I'm not talking about being cursed or
anything like that.

Dan Housen will come down here and curse
you, and you need to keep it up. All

right.

Tatum did nothing, Booker, but be kind.

Izzy and the Cullens used that against
her. Can you see it that way?

What are you laughing for? How many
champions in this business do you know

are?

From behind, shoulders down.

We're talking about being kind. This is
about going out there and showing how

good you are in the middle of that lead.

Crucifix. Crucifix. You're doing it.

Oh, oh. You're talking about being kind.
You're talking about doing it the right

way. You made him want to be a fighting
champion like A .J. Lee wants to be with

the Women's Intercontinental title.

Do you think David Beckham is going to
win this bet right here against Easy Day

being kind?

No. Okay. Okay, you just have to jump
quick. I don't think so. I think she's

going to have to find a different route
and unleash into the cover as the

champion to retain in the kickoff. But,
again, let's not forget Izzy cost Tatum

a women's world title. You've already
answered the why. The why to me is

Tatum didn't agree with Izzy's
championship mentality. It wasn't just

was the color.

She was a part of the group, man. She
was a part of the group. And a part of

group, just like any football team,
everybody got a position to play. She

play a role. She didn't play a position.

That's why you got kicked out.

That's why you got kicked out. Isn't the
champion the one who makes the rules?

No. What's wrong with the gold? It has
the power.

You're dealing with someone who has the
lack of the capacity to actually make

those decisions.

Okay? Okay.

Sean Spears on the outside is the GPS,
as you put it. Nico Vance, the X

A variable that no one can prepare for.

Who do you think is going to make the
right decision?

GPS. He's going to get you there. He's
going to take you there. Keener is

to rally the challenger. Tatum Paxley
trying to counter. And she's got her own

version of the abdominal stretch.

And just getting overpowered by Izzy
Dane. Big power there by Izzy Dane.

And Izzy once again, this time Tatum
puts on the break and able to counter.

these two do know each other very well.
Former partners, former friends we've

talked about. What is it going to take
for the other to put their friend down,

to put their former partner down? Are we
going to see a new wrinkle in someone's

playbook? You know, I don't know, but
what I do know is right now we're seeing

two ladies go one -on -one.

Oh, knees got up. And the best one is
going to win. That's what it's all

Oh, yes.

Izzy had it scouted, and what a
backbreaker.

Follows it up with that big senton. Into
the cover. This could be it. Here we

go. Again.

able to kick out, but this is the new
wrinkle.

Tatum Pax is staying right down, and
Izzy Dame is staying right on top of

looking for this Boston trap. Got to
turn it, Josh. You got to turn it. Here

go. Here we go. I don't think the
camera's picked it up, but it's Sean

the outside who's yelling at Izzy, turn,
and telling her how to do it. The GPS,

as you call him, right there is
screaming at Tatum. Izzy Dame could have

that right leg over the head right
there.

You have the right position, the right
torque on your body. This thing will be

over, man. Look at the body bent of
Tatum Paxley.

Trying to feed off the energy, trying to
get the truck back in.

Able to wrinkle with a little bit of
that pressure. Holding onto that right

for a moment.

That's one way to get out of the
submission.

And when we talk about Dizzy Dane, who
just got caught and rolling right

through. And now it's Tatum through the
Boston Triad.

And is he going to tap?

Not all two have it up, so they have a
lot to adjust.

And is he able to get to that bottom
rope to break the hold?

Getting in the back and forth between
these two women. And Tatum has to go to

the outside.

A little bit of separation created.
There's no doubt that Izzy Dame right

enjoying the most dominant stretch.

And this could be that moment for the
challenger.

Tatum trying to rise up.

And now Paxley firing back.

He's taking his best shot. And now he is
starting to weather that storm. Crater

on offense. Another big kick. Right into
that Sherman suplex.

And you know what? You can say no
friends, but Tatum has a lot of friends

tonight in Orlando.

All of the NXT universe.

Nice step up, Mr. Gurney. That was
really, really nice right there. And

the love and the admiration of those
fans.

It's fueling the drive for Paxley to
become chip.

Izzy's right shoulder just getting off
the mat in a flurry of offense from Izzy

Dane. And she came a half second from
winning over this North American side.

close. I don't know what that move is
called, but it was somewhat of a

hangover. You used to do that in Miami.
Beautifully executed.

Beautifully.

As a matter of fact, when you executed
it, I believe you used to go to the top

rope. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, much like that 450 took a little bit
too much time.

And again, Izzy able to counter. Way too
much time right now. Izzy can pull off

this superplex from the top rope. Here
we go.

for positioning.

Tatum able to fight free.

Deep down somewhere, Izzy Daintree
believes that Tatum needed her to

She didn't. She just needed to believe
in herself.

And the roll through. Izzy back. Up and
down. A drop kick. Falling right into

the cover. Very quickly. Counting it
there for her.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Can we get another look at this?

Adjusting for the 450.

Bam.

Showing you the heart of a champion, but
what sort of vengeful, vindictive.

Thoughts I've said all night are boiling
through the blood of both these women

as we're in the deep waters of this
championship match.

Huge connection.

Izzy with a handful of hair.

Pulling right back.

Taylor able to get that foot up for a
moment.

Answering back. Oh!

That was Izzy's signature eye drive.

Again,

both women who know each other. Can she
connect from the tippy top?

450!

What a feeling this will be!

maybe after that sky -high -esque taking
a page from Izzy to capitalize with

that 450.

It's all about the women's North
American title. It hangs in the balance.

And this has lived up to the billing of
the championship hype. Looking for a

cemetery drive. Second time. Didn't work
out. Going right up.

Just able to hold on. Izzy turning right
back around. Got caught one more time.

Tatum trying to seek out anything and
everything she can do.

But on the outside, again, here's the
fans who are calling the plays.

Opening the door. And Izzy trying to
overpower. Wow. What a cutter.

That's it.

To retain. That could be it. Vengeance
day.

You know, you have been in these
situations as a champion.

When you've thrown the whole arsenal at
your opponent.

What advice would you have for Izzy
right now as she's trying to maybe get

from Sean Spears?

I mean, Izzy's definitely in a situation
right now where things could have been

over many, many times, but this is what
you've got to dig deep, man. This is

what you've really got to suck it up.

That's what being a champion is truly
all about, man. There's a look of fear

the eyes of Izzy Dame for a moment. Oh,
telegraphed it, got caught again by

Tatum Paxley.

Paxley.

Right now, looking to pounce up over the
landing with a powerbomb to the floor.

And it's going to be the referee's
decision if these two women can

Look at Spears.

Look at Vance.

And the referee has started his count.

really starting to move Tatum, I guess,
for a moment, but Tatum's got to get

Izzy back into the ring. That's the only
way she can win the title.

Referee is at five.

Referee's still counting.

What's Spears doing? The referee's still
counting. He's not doing anything.

Referee's at eight. The referee's still
counting.

Tatum!

to Izzy to slam it. Stunned!

Izzy is stunned.

Spears is shocked.

Nico's about to go nuclear out here in
front of us.

And it's the universe rising.

Izzy now again trying to overpower.

Couldn't quite do it.

Take down. Caught the leg. And they're
centering in another near fall.

Spears. Oh. Oh, it's a ball.

Oh, Izzy went down. Spears.

Tatum from behind.

Roll up.

Throw first goes.

Boom. Tatum. What the hell?

Like a woman possessed.

Wow. You got to be kidding me. Izzy just
gets dropped.

And now she's going to take it. That
cemetery drive.

Not only for the count out, the referee
got up to nine. And then the referee

almost counted to three.

Tatum Paxson, though, would show you the
heart of a champion. She would counter

yet again.

Still couldn't get the job done.

Sean Spears and Nico Vance kept sticking
their nose where it didn't belong. And

Tatum, time and time again, was able to
overcome everything that was thrown to

her. And then right here, like a doll,
come polite.

The most satisfying victory of her
career, and that is what she had tonight

Dungeon Stand.

And among those that love her, admire
her, the NXT Universe, Tatum patently

celebrates as Tatum once again is a
champion in NXT.

Before the storm, there is Kalani Jordan
preparing to enter the underground.

OGM, we saw you get involved in that
brawl in the parking lot between Tony D

'Angelo and Dion Lennox.

But why did you come to the aid of Tony?
Wait, let me make something clear to

you, man.

What we did out there was not for Tony.

Tony está completamente solo en esto.
But Dark State?

Darkstate's been that dark cloud hanging
over NXT since the day they showed up

over a year ago. I'm talking about title
matches, main events, be elite.

I gotta give credit when credit's due.
But if I be scared of that run, Shaq got

one.

Darkstate's been popping off, stacking
numbers, and running through everybody

like nobody can stop him, right?

Room. We, the team that can change all
of that.

Bronco and I gonna make sure they know.

The actions come with a price.

Blake, it's time to deliver season.

We're going to take flesh if we have to.

Reputations when we need to. And tag
team titles when we want to.

Darstate, know this.

Yesterday's price is not today's price.

Darstate, we've been hunting the exact
same thing you've been chasing.

I'm talking about stability, power,
recognition.

And gold, that same gold that you let
slip through your ears to vanity

will not.

Me and my brother, we ain't done.

We stored. We ain't forgetting.

Now, it's time to go eat.

Booker, we are heading to your hometown
as NXT will be live from the 713 Music

Hall in Houston on March 17th. Get your
tickets now at Ticketmaster

.com.

Standing by in the ring is our interim
general manager, Rob Stone.

No doubt about it, Vengeance Day is off
to a hot

start.

But right now, please help me welcome
the NXT Women's Champion, JC Jane.

You sit here and give a standing
ovation.

Here we go.

Are you going to let me talk?

The rock dog, baby.

To these three women. Of course, there
is this ballad. Oh,

yeah.

The third member.

Lady Reed, what the hell are you doing?
Lady Reed.

I missed. I didn't hear that.

I was focused on J .C. James. I
understand. You can't take your eyes off

champ. And that brings me to my question
that Robert Stone is about to answer.

What is next for J .C. James? What is
next for that? You know what they say.

has the gold?

That's all the rules.

You've heard that before, right?

Yeah, and I just said that about Peter
Patsy. He told me I was wrong. But I

guess this is a different scenario.

It's J .C. James, man.

Stand and deliver is right around the
corner. And against all odds, this year

will be walking in as your NXT Women's
Champion.

Yeah!

me a transitional champion.

It's funny how quiet it's been lately.

Because, you know, nothing brings me
more joy than watching all of you losers

sit there and eat your words.

Because if there's one thing that I
know, it's how this business works.

probably every up and down that you
could imagine in this business.

The wins, the losses, the betrayals, the
injuries.

Hell, Stone, I'm sure you can relate to
this one.

One day you're sitting next to somebody
in the locker room, and then the next

day, they're gone.

And I would be lying if I said there
weren't times that I got a little bit

paranoid thinking that I was going to
get that call next.

deliver last year for example i was in
just a tag match on the kickoff show

and at the time i was happy just to be
included i was happy just to have a spot

on the show but this year this year is
completely different

because this year i'm walking into stand
and deliver with one of the most

dominant title reigns in nxt history

If we're being honest, after the year I
had, I should be the main event of Stand

and Deliver.

And you can all mark my words right now.

Don't be surprised when next year I'm
walking in and I main event

Yeah!

people let me remind you all that just
two weeks ago i beat your

little favorite sol ruka in less than
six seconds six

seconds is all it took i mean wow what a
record preach and this past tuesday

Goal here is to find your next
challenger. And you know, you're

dark.

Jay.

You're just delusional.

The only reason I'm not standing here as
NXT Women's Champion is Saul.

The only reason I haven't got any
opportunity to work in my favor is Saul.

I deserve another shot at that title.

Look, Zaria, you got a point, okay?

Zaria. Yes, Rob, I'm talking. Thank you
very much.

fatal influences problem jc had dealt
with more toxic baggage than either one

you two could ever handle and let's be
honest um you have no one else to blame

but yourself because you couldn't handle
seeing your best friend succeed i mean

honestly i helped jc win the nxt women's
championship yet you don't see me

throwing that in her face do you and and
maybe i don't know the problem

multiple occasions so maybe it's time
that you start blaming somebody else

because the only problem is that when
you get the opportunity is you fail

you and your precious fail influence
always looking over each

other's shoulder looking for a right eye
roll because none of you know what the

next is gonna do

insecurities and more importantly i know
how to break your heart

so sure call me selfish whatever but you
are not touching

that nxt women's championship because it
is all mine all right ladies look

settle down no doubt about it jc
deserves to defend her nxt championship

Houston, Texas.

It's going to be JTJ.

It's going to be Zaria.

And it's going to be Sol Ruka for the
NXT

Women's Championship in a triple threat
match.

Well, Stone said he had an announcement.

That's certainly one hell of a decision.

Her former friend, her former partner,
and she just picked her spot now. Zaria

probably just wants to go for herself.

Zaria! Zaria!

Zaria! Zaria!

Zaria! Zaria!

Zaria! Zaria!

Zaria! Zaria! Zaria!

Zaria!

Zaria!

Zaria!

This division will be under the
spotlight.

March 17th, triple threat for the NXT
Women's title in Houston.

Kalani Jordan coming up at Vengeance
Day. I know you're looking to settle the

score between yourself and Lola Weiss,
but this is not just a regular match to

determine who the ultimate crossover
athlete is. I know for you, it's your

time stepping into NXT Underground and
it's become quite personal.

Yes, it's personal because me and Lola
have been tethered together since we

debuted on NXT.

We both met in the finals of the
breakout tournament in 2023.

We had a lot of big events together just
this past year. Me and Lola, we bonded.

We shared each other's stories. We both
had the same passion, the same work

ethic, the same goals.

I shared things with her that I've never
told anyone else.

So yes, I take it very personal when she
led the charge in kicking me out the

locker room because what kind of friend
does that?

Lola's the type to smile in my face and
act like she's a friend. But in reality,

she wanted to take my place because
she's upset that she's not running the

division like she saw in her eyes. But
look at what I've done. I became the

first ever women's North American
champion.

Match of the year contender every single
year that I've been here. NXT women's

superstar contender every single year
that I've been here. Rookie of the year

and, oh yeah, the most recent one. I
went to TNA and on my first attempt

a TNA knockout world champion.

But now that I think about it, the crazy
part is I didn't see Lola kick JCJ out

the locker room. Or what about Ariana
Grace? And am I mistaken? Is that not

same title that I once held?

Exactly. It's clear as day she's jealous
of me. But she should really just take

a look at the mirror and realize that
she's had the same opportunities that I

have. She's had the chance to compete
outside NXT at AAA.

And just now, finally, she's won a
championship.

But Kalani Jordan's never needed anyone
to be a champion.

Especially a man.

Well, Kalani, one thing Lola does hold
over everyone else on the roster, she's

undefeated in NXT Underground.

You're right, and I'm not afraid to give
credit where it's due.

But I'm a stellar athlete, and one thing
that I know about being the stellar

athlete that I am is that records are
meant to be broken.

I'm the first woman to tap Lola Weiss
out in a WWE ring.

So why can I not beat her at her own
game?

Everything that I do is calculated.

I don't have a master's degree for no
reason. I'm smart. And yes, I may have

a setback when she beat me back in
January, but I learned from that.

And that's why I did what I had to do,
and I took away her most lethal weapon,

her hand.

Speaking of hands, earlier this week,
Kalani, we saw you training with none

other than Shayna Baszler. What
motivated you to reach out to the former

multiple -time NXT Women's Champion?

Shayna knows what it's like to lose an
underground match, but she also knows

to help me capitalize on Lola's injured
hand. So why not reach out to the

submission magician?

But not just that, Shayna is a record
-setting NXT Women's Champion.

She doesn't just talk the talk. She
shows it every time she steps foot in

ring. So if she can do it, then why
can't I? But the real question is, can

Because who is Lola Weiss without her
fist as her weapon?

Because after Saturday, Lola's going to
have to ask herself, who is Lola Weiss

without the underground?

Because there's only a few spots on
Stand and Deliver and everyone knows

But I can guarantee, and I have no doubt
in my mind, that the standout will be

the last woman standing at Vengeance
Day.

Kalani, thank you, and good luck in the
underground.

Thanks.

I feel like you told me something about
it already. No, it's an epidemic.

I'm sick and tired of this privilege.

Time's up.

You're either with us or against us.
What's it going to be?

Yeah, I don't think so. Thank you.

You don't get it, do you?

Charlie, you're one of us.

Our fathers were champions.

Brian Pillman.

Fitz Finley, Santino Morello, William
Regal, they paved the way for us. They

sacrificed everything for this business.

And for what?

For what? So these influencers, these
college athletes, and these failed

Olympians can come in and take our spot?

No, because you know what?

This is just a side quest for them, but
not for us. For us, it is who we are. It

is in our blood. It is our birthright.

And Charlie, I think it's time you asked
yourself.

When are you going to stop running away
from who you are and embrace it?

Charlie, we got to stop putting up with
this, man.

Now, I let Lexi Sly call me a failed
Olympian because he don't know what I

at the top of my game to be here, all
right?

Now, how about this?

How about let's do this one last time,
Charlie.

Come on, man. I say we have a one night
and a one night only NQCC revival, baby.

What do you say?

We'll call it a side quest, if you will.
Me and you against Lexus and Uriah this

Tuesday. Come on, Charlie.

Come on, bro.

They were a good time. It was the best
of times. It was. It was. Come on.

You know what?

We, of course, are live in Orlando, set
to pass Royal Rumbles and WrestleMania.

Tonight, the host of Vengeance Day. We
are inside the Performance Center,

where we will be this Tuesday for NXT.

But right now, you start to see that the
scene is being set. Bodies are starting

to surround the ring as we get set to
head back.

To the NXT Underground.

And two bitter rivals write their next
chapter.

Who will survive as we get ready to
enter the unpredictable NXT Underground?

Both these women are on the cusp of
superstardom. Kalani Jordan.

Electrifying.

Innovative. All worlds to describe
Kalani Jordan.

Roll the dice. I'm going to be the
greatest superstar to cross over from

WWE. This is just the tip. This is
what's going on for many, many years.

Your breakout star of the year, Lola.
Bye.

Offer room.

Nope.

Sorry, mama.

But you chose King TNA.

Labeled as a traitor amongst people who
I thought were my friends.

But it's okay for Lola Vice to go to
Triple H.

being TNA knockout world champion.

Even if that means going against NXT,
but especially if that means I get a

chance to shut you up.

Lola Vice has been eliminated.

What are you doing? Coming back to the
locker room where I belong.

Jealousy does not look good on you.
Jealous of what?

Lola, I am. Who's the best crossover
superstar in this locker room?

Kalani.

Gymnastics is nothing compared to MMA.

And people like you are going to find
out real quick.

And these two are ready for a fight.

Oh, my God.

And that backfist just sent Kalani back
to East Lansing.

It's my time to be selfish now.

Have you ever seen this side of Kalani
Jordan?

No, no, no, no, no. This is a brand new
attitude.

permission. We really want that. I
signed all the paperwork during NXT and

doctors of any liability.

Make it happen.

You know what the WWE Universe would
want that?

You got it.

Lola Biden undefeated inside the
Underground 3 -0.

In the Underground?

You have one of two options.

Either I tap you

I beat her at her own game. I can
definitely do it again, especially in an

underground match. And all she could do
was cry about it. Are you ready to step

back in to the underground?

No longer the locker room's little
sister. Kalani Jordan looks to defeat

locker room leader in Lola Vice.

Which woman survives? Which woman will
be victorious?

Well, you can definitely see that the
atmosphere has changed.

And those around the ring, as close as
you can get to the action here in NXT

Underground.

Pretty simple, book. No pinfalls. The
rules are simple, as you can see. You're

going to have to earn a victory tonight.

is to stand out and over her head.

See the rope that's gone.

The turnbuckle's taken down. I mean,
this is a different environment.

And this is just the sixth underground
match ever in the history of NXT. The

fourth for this woman. She is indeed the
queen of the underground, along with

being one half of the tag team champion
in AAA.

There you go.

Lola Biden.

She is doing the glee of the other side.
And you see Lola present the

championship to her father, a living
legend, a Taekwondo grandmaster. He is

front row to see his daughter look to
knock out Kalani Jordan.

Look at Lola step to the ring right
there. She's fully focused and ready to

Talking about that right here, she's a
little compromised.

She's a little confused in the
situation, but I tell you.

adrenaline right now man let's go up to
our ring announcer

no disqualifications. The only way to
win is by knockout or submission.

Introducing first, from Boyden Beach,
Florida,

Robert Tepper said there's no easy way
out, no shortcut home. Win by knockout,

tap out, referee stoppage. And these
women are ready to fight. And here we

Lola charging in quickly. Nice defense
early on here by Kalani Jordan.

And reversal quickly by Lola. Fights
right now on top. Great positioning.

at her first submission.

Oh, door putter. Dead arm.

Door putter early right here, bitch.

You say that again. Look at Kalani right
now doing her best to try to ease back

just a little bit against Kalani. is in
this matchup facing somebody who isn't

100%. Looking for a stretch, nice
turnaround fight. Roll up back on top,

throwing out the hands. But remember
about the fist. Not 100%. It's clear.

Advise not to take this fight. But as
she said, she signed paperwork. Gobi is

not liable. And one more time, looking
for a submission.

already coming into play, and obviously
that would be the strategy for Kalani.

Jordan does really submission victory
over Bice. He can't take that away from

Kalani. Targeted the injured hand, and
you would think it's going to be the

strategy again as Lola looking for a
sleeper.

Of course it's going to be the same,
Fred. Take down, take down, and there's

nowhere to go. Oh, baby. Great position,
and you're right. That sleeper is in.

Look at Kalani, though, thinking about
all the training she's had under Shayna

Baszler over the last several weeks,
getting ready for this fight, able to

through, but again, the difference for
her is no pinfall. You've got to get a

submission. Trapping that injured hand,
and right now trying to bend back the

digit. Break the finger, break the hand
of Lola, who's countering, and both

women back to their feet. Oh, baby,
educated feet.

Here we go. There's that striking
ability.

We keep talking about the hand, talking
about both these women in longstanding

rivalry, and going to that thumb,
bending back the wrist.

in the middle of that. I love what
Kalani Jordan has turned into.

It's about players. It's not about
players. It's not about time. It's about

pitch and space.

Love it.

And look, he can't get a pinfall
victory, but that suplex had a

it. That damaged hand and wrist was
behind Lola's back and took the front of

force inside the ring. And when you talk
about force, think about that stop

right to the hand. That training with
Jada Bates will definitely come into

right now because...

Keep working it. Keep working it.

Oh, yeah.

You got to remember, this is what Lola
Weiss asked for. This is what she

After Kalani repeatedly attacked Lola at
every turn, smashed her hand with a

steel ladder, blindsided attacks.

And, yes, now right now, taking off
whatever protection book that glove was

giving Lola Weiss, that hand is now
exposed. Those bones are now exposed.

And if the hand wasn't broken earlier,
it may be broken now.

And I tell you, Vic, it's wise.

It's wise for her years to know that
you've got to do anything.

It's by any means necessary, man.

It's a different atmosphere. There is
that background gymnastics style. It was

Kalani who said, and if you remember
with Shayna Baszler, was going to show

of that gymnastics background.

I know it's kind of late in the party to
ask this question after all the damage

that's been done to Lola Weiss that
we're reliving, but who is the ultimate

crossover athlete?

Is it Kalani or is it Lola

Weiss?

This is the second time, and you've got
to start wondering, referee stoppage.

When will the referee try to protect
Lola Weiss from herself? Because Lola's

going to give up. I'll tell you
something, Lola's not going to quit.

going to let the referee call this win.

No, she's not going to do that.

I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention to
you because I was listening to Kalani

started chirping and was barking over
here at Lola Weiss's father who's in the

front row again. And now Lola's starting
to turn this around and I just looked

up and I saw Kalani just bounce face
first off that steal.

And again, Lola was very vocal towards
Kalani for months, was one of the voices

that had Jordan removed from the locker
room. There's a lot of animosity in this

matchup between these two. These two are
going to go to great lengths to destroy

the other.

It's a victory. Let me tell you right
now. Karate joint.

She had forgotten about me. Oh, back to
the hand. And she has. Oh, big shot

there. Lowest run ever. Oh, yeah.

Got to remember the feet as well. Trying
to pick up a German and just snapped

the back of her head right off the
center of the ring. And Lola just looked

her father in the eyes, and her dad
said, go get her. And now Lola back up,

here comes Weiss. Weiss is going to have
to use this striking ability time and

time again, but she's only got one
handbooker, and you've got to start

wondering, if that hand's broken, does
it go numb? Is she going to be able to

throw her out like a cinder block? I'm
going to tell you right now, man, it's

going to be an oversized paperweight.
Oh, yes!

Oh, yes!

And the eyes of Lola Weiss.

She is blocking out the pain.

She's got a lot of spice. A little spice
in that meatball.

Oh!

Kalani just pulled someone over.

Oh! Oh, yeah!

Anyone who's getting in the way, and
that's a big kick from Kalani.

Right to the side of the face.

And right here in front of her father.

Continuing the new damage.

She's right, she does own a submission
victory. Can she do it again in the

underground? A match Lola Weiss has
never lost.

That certainly would be a statement in
itself.

The line of guard is using everything to
motivate her tonight to go out here and

pull out this victory. Something no one
else has ever done.

The universe believes NXT believes in
our champion, Joe

Hendry.

What people think is an overnight
success is actually a lifetime of hard

trying to put the puzzle pieces
together.

As a kid growing up in Edinburgh,
Scotland, I loved WWE, but it felt like

impossible dream. So I threw myself into
my hobbies. I was doing judo, theater.

I was playing live music. And by the
time I graduated from university, I had

master's in business and marketing, a
black belt in judo, and I was touring

Europe as a musician.

But deep down, I knew something was
missing. So it was New Year's Eve 2013.

At the age of 24, I finally made the
decision.

to pursue my dream of pro wrestling. I
started training in Glasgow, and that's

where I met Robbie Brookside.

And thanks to him, I got my first WWE
tryout after only a year.

And before I know it, I'm wrestling some
of the biggest names in the business

all across Europe. I'm wrestling Cody
Rhodes, Kurt Angle, Drew McIntyre, and

before you know it, I've written my own
theme song, I've recorded it, I'm

streaming, I'm podcasting, I'm using
everything that I've learned.

from a marketing degree, and this is all
starting to work. I'm starting to build

my name. I'm building my popularity.

I even made it to America.

Everything's going great.

And then the world shuts down.

When you're that close to achieving a
dream, you have two choices.

You can give up, or you can keep
believing.

And I used that time to reinvent myself
even more. Say his name and he appears.

I believe in Joe Hendry.

I dyed my hair blonde, I bulked up to
265, and when the world opened back up,

used the last of my savings to buy my
own visa so I could get back to the

and sign with TNA Wrestling.

Finally, I believed in Joe Hendry, and
now I just needed everyone else to

believe in me.

When I finally made it to TNA, it was
like starting from scratch all over

but I was ready for the climb.

The world was always chanting, we
believe! I worked myself into title

contention, and not long after that, I
made my first appearance on NXT.

Joe Hendry is here in NXT!

And it becomes the most viewed video on
X in all of wrestling that year.

Finally, the puzzle pieces clicked
together, and I won the TNA world title,

competed at the Royal Rumble, I appeared
at WrestleMania.

What?

Who would have thought that a TNA
champion would be at WrestleMania?

And whilst being on the biggest stage
was a thrill, I still knew all roads led

to NXT.

There's only one thing on my mind. And
that one thing is the WWE Performance

Center. I want to learn from the very
best entertainment organization in the

world today.

Becoming NXT champion is the culmination
of all the work I've done along the way

to get to this point.

Most guys like Ricky Sands think that
I'm just a song and a smile. I know who

am. I am your NXT champion. And I
believe.

I want to break some big news.

NXT will be bringing one of its biggest
TLEs to one of the greatest wrestling

cities in all the world. On Saturday,
April 4th. Get ready for a fight. NXT

stands up in St.

Louis.

The stakes are high. The world is
watching. And only the best stand and

NXT Stand and Deliver. Saturday, April
4th.

It's our biggest night of the year. NXT
Stand and Deliver. And it comes to the

factory in St. Louis, Missouri.
Saturday, April 4th. Tickets are on sale

Ticketmaster.

A triple threat match?

Is he kidding me right now? I mean, can
I ever catch a break around here? No,

no, no. That would just be too much to
ask, wouldn't it?

Other champions, they get four, five
weeks off with me.

No, no, no. Why can't I just coast right
to sin and deliver?

Instead, I have to be the third wheel in
this annoying Zaruka breakup?

They want to ruin each other's lives,
and now they want to ruin my life, too?

Hey, it's all over for me. No, they
won't. Calm down. You are JC freaking

the rock star of NXT.

You're going to figure this out, and
you're going to find a way.

Besides, look at what we just did to
Solazaria.

Exactly. Lainey, it's a triple threat.
Anything goes. Hello? Okay, there is no

need to panic. How about I just take
care of Phil on Tuesday?

See? Lainey.

Yes. Okay. Yes. That's perfect.

Yes. And Zaria?

Sorry, but you aren't the only one with
a title match in Houston.

I'm defending the speed title against
either Sia or Ren.

Well then, Lainey.

I guess you're just going to have to
make sure that Sol doesn't make it to

Houston.

It's fine.

Everything's going to be fine. This will
work.

Obviously he isn't very happy, but Casey
Jane doesn't have to be factored in the

decision to lose her title. This match
was set in stone earlier. Triple threat.

Jane Zaria stole live in Houston on
March 17th. But let's talk about what's

going to happen this Tuesday.

Because who will head to Houston for
their own championship opportunity?

Will it be Kia or will it be Wren? Speed
tournament final live on NXT.

On the topic of a triple threat, these
three men are getting ready to tangle.

Troy Knight and Shawn Legacy, who will
stand tall live Tuesday on NXT.

And the NQCC will have a reunion after
their run -in earlier with Birthright.

They're going to have themselves a tag
team clash. It's all happening this

Tuesday live on NXT.

But what a night it has been here in
Orlando, here inside the performance.

center for Vengeance Day. A new champion
was crowned earlier. It's Tatum Paxley.

Congratulations to her. Lola Byte, as we
just saw, stays unbeaten in the

underground, but we aren't done yet here
at Vengeance Day because it's

main event time.

Who will be champion in 72 hours when
NXT comes to you live Tuesday on The CW?

Ricky Stank is looking to regain the
gold as our champion Joe Hendry looks to

make a believer out of the challenger.
Who will be vengeance day as the NXT

champion?

Since 2015, the NXT championship will be
decided in a ladder match.

We truly are in the year of opportunity.

I see a lot of future champions, but
simply put, absolute Ricky Saints is

absolutely built to be the two -time NXT
champion.

Say his name, and he appears.

And I didn't just come to NXT to
entertain. I came here to be a champion.

Because I'm going to give the WWE
Universe an even bigger reason to

Joe Hendry. Hendry just got to get Ricky
Sainz down. Sainz starting to fight

back. Ricky got hit with the title.

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

Here is your winner.

the chaos he's about to grab his second
NXT championship and that was until I

heard the words we believe the climb to
the NXT championship

happened long before the ladder match
and now Joe Henry stands

here as your new NXT champion but what
that means is that

the climb doesn't stop no we are just
getting started Hey!

What's up?

Oh, come on!

Ricky Faith doesn't want to share the
damn spotlight.

This is sick.

Production, light.

I believe in Ricky!

All of y 'all love Joe Hendry because
you can relate.

You're an everyman.

You stole the championship from me and
no one seems to be talking about that,

huh? You got everyone tied up in here to
the Hendry hype. You even got a 2K DLC.

Congratulations, partner. But being an
everyman doesn't make you worthy of

a champion.

Having talent does. Being the best.

Ricky, there you are with the egos and
the opinions. It's a fact that I'm

something you're not. NXT champion.

Well, since you love marketing so much,
let's do this.

Vengeance Day.

Joe Hendry versus Ricky Saints for my
NXT championship.

You know what? You're on!

Because guess what?

I'm not in a singing mood. I'm not in a
dancing mood. I'm in a kicking Ricky

Saints ass all around the arena type of
mood.

And Ricky, I got no problem kicking your
punk ass at Vengeance Day.

What a way to cap off the night for the
NXT Championship to be defended.

And there's the challenger. And a man
who truly, he's got to have all the

confidence in the world right now after
what he was talking to Easton Cage about

earlier tonight. He's got to have some
sort of ace up his sleeve.

Now we look into the eyes of the man who
will once again bleed his...

We're doing an outfit check now? Let's
see it. The band has to use Upgrade. Use

Upgrade. Just for your sake.

That's not taking his eyes off of the
challenger until that moment. That is

my dad, y 'all.

This man is laser focused on the task at
hand and it's retaining this

championship.

God, we need to go. We need to go.

From New Orleans.

What are you talking about? You're
jamming for Ricky Saints. Who has the

advantage? Who has the advantage?

You're an analyst. Let me tell you
something.

Joe Hendry's been a hell of a champion
so far. Ricky Saints, like I said, the

man came into NXT and just went, I mean,
got a rocket. Put the rocket on the

man's back. He's going to do a great
job.

He's going to go back. Who has the
advantage? I don't know. I don't know. A

undisputed WWE champion was crowned on
SmackDown. Congratulations to Cody

Rhodes. who will face Randy Orton at
WrestleMania.

Their legacy has brought them to the
grandest stage of them all. But the

of Joe Hendry is being built match after
match. The same can be said for his

opponent. And one's legacy will continue
to grow on this brand NXT as our

champion. Heading into the fan and
delivering. Oh, no.

Take advantage of it, son. Take
advantage of it. Ricky now has Joe

position early on in this matchup,
referee doing his best to free Joe

And those people think that those ropes
are just ropes. Those are tight. You

have seen that rip off a man's ear in
the past.

I think

we can agree that these two

are polar opposites. Hendry, quiet,
confident.

I like to bring up something you talked
about earlier.

Ricky Sainz becoming a two -time
champion.

A victory.

He's become the eighth keeper star to
have multiple reigns as NXT champion.

Joe Hedry tonight wants to keep that
title around his waist as we inch closer

St. Louis and stand and deliver April
the 4th.

Joe Hedry drives out this audience, man.
He drives out the people getting behind

him. And I get it. I get it. It feels
good. I've been there before.

But don't rely on that, Joe Hedry. Trust
me. Saints' chess are bright red.

And he just gets tossed around.

by the champion. You know, we always
praise Taz, but how about we honor some

character? Joe Hendry has stepped up as
champion.

All the media, all the appearances, he
never says no to fans across the world.

It means so much to him to represent
this brand as our champion wherever he

goes.

Got him up. Got him up. Look at the
trip. Look at the trip. Wow. And a

bit, too. A little bit of a delay.
Vertical duplex into the cover. And

out at two. Look at all the blood
rushing through the head right there.

Equilibrium right now.

Ricky Staines maybe a little off right
now after hanging upside down like that.

You know, you talked earlier about, I
think it was Tatum Hatchley coming out

very fast out of the gate. Did Ricky
Staines maybe do that here early on in

matchup? This

one

-on -one opportunity didn't believe, no
pun intended, that there needed to be a

multi -man ladder match to determine the
NXT champion. That title should have

been awarded to him, handed to him. It
was not.

And it was Joe Hendry at the end of the
night was able to toss Saints far down

from the top of the ladder to retrieve
the title as looking for a double

underhook around. Oh, wow.

And that certainly was a rude awakening,
of course, for Ricky Saint.

Who are you going to think about Joe
Hendry, Matt Fowler? But I tell you

there, he's definitely looking real
good.

I think some people do forget about the
amateur background that Joe Hendry has

representing Scotland in the
Commonwealth Games. And now Ricky.

Taking a little bit of a walk and I
don't know is this something you'd

them to do in a championship match?

Might be singing an

octave higher if he wants to another
absolute experience down the line. Watch

yourself Ricky, watch yourself son!

Oh, get to the throat.

And that certainly won't have Joe
singing any time soon.

Shoulder first. And now you start to
think about, you talked about strategy

earlier. Ricky Saints knows the power
Joe has in possession with that standing

ovation. That shoulder just went right
in to the steps. And what was the word

you used about Lola Weiss's hand?

Compromise. Joe Hedger might be
compromised. Cover.

Challenger.

Don't think Ricky Saints can pull that
off.

By accident or anything like that. That
right there was designed.

That was a play call right there about
Ricky Sainz. And it was executed

perfectly. You see in the eyes of the
champion right now. He's looking around

trying to maybe refocus, regain where
he's at. Sainz right now has the

wounded and hurt.

right now. He's got to get it all back.
Ricky Sainz is not going to let that

happen, right? That beautiful neck
breaker.

Of course, Sainz, who charges in big.
Oh, yeah!

Into the cover, and in here, Sainz wants
to be the main event of Stand and

Deliver, just like everyone on this
brand, but because Ricky Sainz believes

should revolve around him. I mean, the
guy, he's got a point. I mean, Ricky

Sainz is a star, man. He's a big star
here at NXT.

The universe trying to motivate the
champion.

And Hendry fighting back. Ooh, what a
headbutt. Hendry now picking up some

steam. It just got sent back down to
Matt.

Big shot right there.

Stay on the gas, Saints.

Stay on the gas, son. Saints has turned
into quite the complainer in recent

months. What am I talking about?

You know he seemed to be whining and
complaining, whether it's with Vanity

Project or whether it's with Ethan Page.

Complaining about getting the title
shot? That's not complaining, man.

That's stating your case. This is
someone. That's what that is, man. This

someone who you correctly said arrived
on this scene and turned things around.

When he arrived, he was ready to work,
ready to prove himself. Still ready to

work. Look, the guy's in the main event
right now. This is Ricky Saints. He's

not in here. He's not acting crazy. He's
out here hitting it. This bitch is all

on his own. He said he was the MVP
champion. So he hit me. And he put the

ripping on the thing. Come on, man.

Ricky Saints now just measuring the
chain in right now. Down to the

And now.

Come on.

You can't win the title out of here.

He's just mocking Joe Hendry.

Saints finally getting Hendry back in
the ring. That's a man with a boatload

confidence right there, Ricky Saints.
They can stop and take time to just.

You got to love that. Right there, you
can tell this guy, he's got a lot of

stamina left.

He's ready to go to long haul. Look at
that beautiful back duplex.

Belly to back duplex indeed was
perfected, but wasn't perfect enough to

Hendry down. Let me tell you something.
Ricky Tate right now, he's not even

breathing heavy, man.

Right now, he's ready to go for another
hour. I can tell you right now.

Let me tell you something. Joe Hendry
better be ready for the long haul. He's

standing there better be ready for
tonight.

Maybe what I said about complaining
wasn't the right word. Let me try it

Doesn't Saints come off a little bit
envious of someone like Joe Hendry as he

rolls through into the cover in an
earful? The Royal Rumble appearance, the

WrestleMania moment, things Ricky Saints
hasn't had.

The one, two championships out here,
record time. What are you talking about?

mean, do we want to be the champion of
here? Of course. That's what we're going

to do right now with that beautiful drop
right in the corner.

Got him right under the jaw into yet
another cover. Nice job. Oh, yeah.

Nice job of Ricky Sainz bringing that
hand back underneath the bottom rope for

the cover. It wouldn't be broken.

But to go more with my thought process
here, Book, I talk about the Royal

and the WrestleMania moments. Those are
things Ricky has said to Joe Hendry that

he didn't know why Joe Hendry deserved
them. Didn't know why he deserved a DLC

package WWE 2K26.

Those are things he's complained about
openly.

Doesn't that make you think he's envious
of the champion?

I mean, he may feel like Joe Hendry is
getting up and green. According to him,

he's the beginning.

Maybe that's it. And now look.

The fall away slam.

The pose.

Yeah. Trying to one up Joe Hendry.
Hendry!

Just exploding out of the corner. And
now all those that believe here tonight

starting to rise up.

And you know and have to believe that
that absolute experience this past

only fueled the champion.

It was Saints who tried to troll Hendry
on Tuesday, and right now it's Joe

Hendry who's getting the last laugh.

and trying to maybe keep this crowd on
his side, trying to keep his momentum

He was able to get a second win, maybe a
third, and now hoisting up Saints and

overpowering with that powerbomb.

Realizing this could be that moment,
crawls into the cover, and there wasn't

lot on that kickout from the challenger.
Take another look. Look at the landing.

And it was wise that Hendry has once
again been motivated by the NXT

Here inside the Performance Center. Joe
Hendry talking about bulking up to 265

pounds. And I can tell you right now,
you can tell he's put a lot of work into

Jim. His strength and his stamina coming
into play in the late stages right now.

It's our main event of Vengeance Day.
It's about the NXT Championship.

Ricky Saints is going to become a two
-time champion.

Joe Hendry.

Looking to keep all those that believe
in him, in his corner, that he can get

the job done when the lights are the
brightest. Another big uppercut under

jaw. Back in for the Saints. Counter
flip. Oh, that's the boy. Andrew able to

roll right through, popping right back
up, but got hoisted up. And then, bam, a

little air raid crash.

Still not enough to look at. Saints
quickly transitioning.

Trying to lock that cross.

And it certainly is cinched in and if
the champion taps, we're gonna have a

champion tap.

That's how it's gonna go to Ricky Sainz.
And you know Sainz would love to make

Joe Hendry say he quit.

Hendry rolling through but look at Sainz
staying right on top and Ricky showing

his own power right there.

Hendry away from the ropes and now
making a different submission, trying to

in that front face lock, and now trying
to dig in deep right now and wear down

Joe Hendry. And Hendry's fading, Booker.

Oh, baby.

If Ricky Saints locks the body fitness,
I don't know if Joe Hendry can get back

in it. Joe Hendry's out, and he wraps
the body.

Ricky Saints altering around, trying to
close his legs, trying to squeeze the

air. Hendry's trying to fight. And this
may be the last gasp effort from the

champion.

Trying to get up. Look at the pain on
Hendry's face as he overtires Ricky

Saints. Give him credit.

Give Joe Hendry a lot of credit right
there because I thought he was out. I

thought he was out.

We love you.

We love you. We love you. We love you.
Everyone here tonight.

The Believers are out in full force.

But Ricky trying to make Believers in
his own right. Could be looking for

Rochambeau. Hendry able to slither down.

Hoisting up. And we've seen Hendry use
this in the past.

Sliding down. Super kick under the
chalk. Got all of it. Oh, he certainly

And now Ricky looking for that
exclamation point. Had to roll through.

his feet. Might have jarred his knee a
little bit.

Got caught.

And oh!

And it is an attitude adjustment, just
what Ricky needs. And it wasn't enough,

though, for Joe Hendry tonight.

Big, big attitude adjustment.

That was all instinct right there, Vic.

All instinct. You think Ricky's starting
to be out on his feet right now? I'll

tell you something, right there, Ricky
was out right there. He heard that final

count coming down, and like I said,
instinct kicked in.

Big shot right there by Ricky Saints.

Another big shot by Joe Hendry.

Hendry. Saints.

Showing you what it takes, what it means
to be champion.

Our last premium live event before it's
time to deliver in a huge fallaway slam.

Ricky, though, took one too many
rotations away from Hendry, who's trying

capitalize in that momentum. The force
that Hendry threw Saints with may have

actually benefited the challenger in
that moment. That was a challenger right

there. Oh, dog.

Oh, Ricky Saints creating a little bit
of space. That little extra space that

needed where he knew.

He knew he was going to kick out right
at three. He knew it.

What is it going to take to walk out NXT
champion?

Henson could be looking for that
standing ovation.

Counted by Saints. Saints rolling
through. Got it.

They tied up in a kick out. Man, that
was close.

Back up, jumping knee right under the
jaw.

It might be Joe Henson right now who's
out on his feet.

DDT connects.

DDT connects.

Whoa.

You know, we talk about not a lot on the
kickouts from Ripley Saints.

What the hell is Ethan Page doing out
here now?

Ethan Page on the outside. I don't know
what is going on. Oh, that was a huge

spear from Saints.

Well,

that was a miscalculation from Page
who's trying to help out Saints.

The official doing the right thing.
Getting the NXT title!

No! No, no, no, no, no, no!

No!

The Revolution DDT! This is how Ricky's
won in the past and for the second time!

You talk about instinct, that's the
instinct! You're a disbelief! Saints and

disbelief!

of the champion.

And it's the universe trying to rally,
but now Joe Hinge, I don't know what's

left, stays one after another after
another.

Official stepping back in. Oh, is it
finally time for a standing row?

Referee.

Able to get out of the way at least for
a moment's notice. And here they go!

Oh!

Standing. Going.

Facing.

Paige came out here. I don't know if he
ran the wrong play or whatever. He

and Ricky Saints had previously
discussed earlier tonight.

What a main event. Let's go back to some
of the action.

This is Ricky screaming for Ethan.

Ethan just staring at the NXT
championship. Yes, and he wants help.

And that opened the door for Joe Hendry.
Ethan Page is almost a half second.

Too late. The matchup would continue.

St. Ben would hit that devastating
spear, would once again look to Ethan

and this is what I'm meaning.

Miscommunication.

Misguided. Mistyed. Whatever you want to
call it. But you can say you didn't

like Joe Andrews' action. What happened
here?

You certainly like this. A low blow.

Referee didn't see it. The Revolution
DDT that has won him championships in

past.

Secured him another one here tonight.
But Joe Hendry would continue to fight.

And as I said, turnabout's fair play.
Bam!

Right there.

A little bit of a payback, so to speak.

And Joe Hendry, with all the emotion,
all the vengeance through his face,

delivering that standing O to retain the
championship tonight.

What a night.

Pagans, thanks.

I don't know if they're just running
different things through their own mind

here tonight, but whatever they had
planned didn't work.

Because once again, our champion shows
the power of believing in yourself.

And on a night that was filled with
vengeance, Joe Hedry proved the least

talkers all.
