INTRODUCING FIRST THE

CHALLENGERS, THE TEAM OF NATHAN

FRAZER AND AXIOM.

AND THEIR OPPONENT REPRESENTING

CHASE UNIVERSITY.

THEY ARE THE NXT TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONS RIDGE HOLLAND AND

ANDRE CHASE.

[CROWD CHEERS]

- AS WE GET READY FOR THIS

MATCHUP BOOK, YOU BROUGHT UP THE

REMATCH.

REMEMBER, IT WAS RILEY OSBORNE

AND DUKE HUDSON WHO LOST, WHICH

PAVED THE WAY FOR THE

CHALLENGERS HERE TONIGHT FOR

THIS MATCHUP.

AND LOOK, THESE ARE TWO TEAMS

THAT STOLE THE SHOW IN TORONTO

AT HEAT WAVE.

THE DIFFERENCE THOUGH WAS DUKE

HUDSON WAS THE ONE WHO WAS

PARTNERED WITH ANDRE CHASE.

AND IT WAS ON THAT NIGHT THAT

AXIOM AND FRAZER RETAINED THE

TITLE.

- YEAH, YEAH.

WHICH MAKES ME THINK THERE MIGHT

BE A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE IN

PARADISE AS FAR AS CHASE U GO.

MAYBE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE.

TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT.

WHOA.

BEAUTIFUL SHOT THERE BY ANDRE

CHASE

- INTO THE COVER.

FIRST ONE OF THE MATCHUP AND A

KICK OUT OF

YOU WERE PLAYING THE GAME.

NO MERCY.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN KITCHEN

SINK IF YOU WERE TRYING TO

CREATE YOUR OWN SUPERSTAR.

BUT I BUT I WANT TO GET INTO,

YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH

THE CHALLENGERS.

I MEAN, DO PERSONAL ASPIRATIONS

OVERTAKE A TAG TEAM AGENDA AT

TIMES?

- YOU KNOW

VIC, I MUST, I MUST.

OH, WOW.

I MUST SAY YES.

I MEAN, IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US.

I MEAN, ALA SHAWN.

- MICHAELS, MARTY JANNETTY.

YOU FEEL ME?

YOU FEEL ME?

AND IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO TREND

NUMBER ONE NXT, NO MERCY TAG

TEAM TITLES KICKING US OFF.

AND THERE IS.

- OH, BABY.

OH, YES.

OH, YES.

WE'RE KICKING THIS THING OFF

QUICK HERE TONIGHT.

- NEVER SLOW DOWN.

THAT'S THE MOTTO, OF COURSE,

OF NATHAN FRAZER.

YOU KNOW WHAT ADVICE THEN?

DO YOU GIVE THE FORMER CHAMPIONS

ON SEARCHING FOR THOSE OUTSIDE

OPPORTUNITIES AS SOLO

COMPETITORS?

- YOU GOT TO.

YOU GOT TO HAVE TUNNEL.

VISION, VIC.

YOU GOT TO STAY FOCUSED AT ALL

TIMES.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE.

AND THAT IS RIGHT NOW THE TAG

TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP.

- WELL, A

TAG WAS MADE AND HERE COMES A

MASSIVE RIDGE HOLLAND WITH ALL

THAT STRENGTH.

AND TAKE A LOOK.

- WHOA.

- PURE POWER.

- IT'S JUST MANHANDLING RIGHT

THERE, VIC.

THAT'S.

THAT'S CALL.

- AND LOOK AT THE DOUBLE

UNDERHOOK SUPLEX WITH A LITTLE

EXTRA OOMPH INTO THE COVER.

NO.

HOOK OF THE LEG AND A KICK OUT.

HERE IN THIS MATCH.

OF COURSE.

THE CHALLENGER BLAKE HOWARD ON

THE COUNTDOWN TO NO MERCY.

THEY SEEM POISED, PRIMED AND

READY TONIGHT.

BUT THE SAME COULD BE SAID FOR

THE CHAMPIONS.

- I KNOW YOU SEE THAT.

RIDGE HOLLAND.

QUICK IN, QUICK OUT.

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL TAG TEAM

WORK.

OH, SO CLOSE, SO CLOSE.

- ANOTHER KICK OUT.

AND LOOK.

CHASE UNIVERSITY.

THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING STRONG

EARLY ON, AND IT'S THANKS TO THE

POWERHOUSE.

RIDGE HOLLAND IS AXIOM TRYING TO

TURN THINGS AROUND.

EXCUSE ME.

FRAZER TRYING TO TURN THINGS

AROUND IN THIS MATCHUP.

TAGGING IN AXIOM IS NOW.

BOTH SUPERSTARS JUST PING PONG.

- OH, YES.

- OFF THE DDT.

INTO THE COVER.

AND A NEAR FALL.

- NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT

WORK RIGHT THERE.

VIC JUST TRYING TO STAY ON TOP

OF HIM.

KEEP KEEP THE KEEP THE PEDAL

DOWN, MAN.

- TALK ABOUT AXIOM AND FRAZER.

YOU KNOW THAT INTERVIEW EARLIER

AND WE TALKED TO HIM DURING THE

WEEK AND THEY WERE OPPONENTS AT

ONE POINT.

THEY WERE RIVALS.

THEY CAME TOGETHER FOR A GOOD TO

BECOME CHAMPIONS, TO START

TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR OVERALL

RECORD IN VARIOUS TAG TEAM

COMPETITIONS.

THEY'RE 11 AND 6, BUT THEY

HAVE BEEN VERY IMPRESSIVE OVER

THE SUMMER.

BAM.

NICE KICK.

- IT'S LIKE HOUDINI SAID BACK

IN THE DAY, TWO PEOPLE SHARING

ONE COMMON CAUSE AND THAT

IS TO BECOME THE BEST.

OH YES.

- POINT FROM YOU.

STEREO SUPERKICKS SHOOTING STAR

COVER FOR THE TITLE.

CHASE JUST GOT THAT RIGHT

SHOULDER UP.

- MAN, LET ME TELL YOU RIGHT

NOW,

FRAZER AND AXIOM RIGHT NOW

WORKING BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER.

- BOOM.

BAM.

AND THEN FOLLOWED IT UP WITH

ALMOST BRINGING THE TITLES BACK

TO BECOME TWO TIME NXT TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONS.

ANOTHER TAG WAS MADE AND I JUST

LOOKED UP FROM THE MONITOR.

RIDGE HOLLAND DOWN.

DO NOT SEE HIM.

ANDRE CHASE IS AT THIS ALONE.

KIND OF WHAT WE SAW WHEN HE

TEAMED WITH DUKE HUDSON.

WHEN YOU GO BACK TO TORONTO,

WHEN YOU GO BACK TO HEAT WAVE.

ANDRE CHASE NOW GOING TO HAVE TO

PUT CHASE U ON HIS BACK FOR A

LITTLE BIT.

- I REALLY DON'T LIKE ALL THE

CHEERLEADERS OUT HERE, MAN.

I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S A

DISADVANTAGE

FOR FRAZER AND AXIOM

IT REALLY IT REALLY, TRULY IS

VIC

- AXIOM WITH THE ANKLE

LOCKED IN.

BUT LOOK WHERE AXIOM IS

POSITIONED SO CLOSE TO HIS

CORNER BUT A NICE COUNTER BY

ANDRE CHASE.

AND THEN BOTH MEN.

SAME IDEA.

DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE.

BOTH TEAMS DOWN.

WHO CAN RALLY?

THIS COULD BE THE PIVOTAL MOMENT

OF THIS MATCHUP.

- YEAH, IT DEFINITELY IS.

RIGHT NOW HE'S GOING TO MAKE

THAT TAG FIRST.

- IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS ALMOST AT

THE SAME TIME AS HOLLAND BACK

IN.

BUT THERE'S FRAZER.

- OH WOW.

- MISSED WITH THE RIGHT.

GETS HIM WITH THE LEFT.

ANOTHER BIG SUPLEX BY RIDGE

- THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE MAKER

RIGHT THERE.

THE GAME CHANGER.

- AND HOW DOES A FORCE LIKE

RIDGE CHANGE THE COMPLEXITIES OF

THIS MATCHUP.

- EXACTLY MY POINT.

I MEAN COMING IN RIGHT NOW YOU

LOOK AT HIS ALL MUSCLE.

YOU GOTTA YOU GOTTA COMPETE WITH

THAT RIGHT THERE.

AND I DON'T THINK FRAZER OR

AXIOM CAN DO IT.

OH MY GOD.

- INTO A DDT, INTO A COVER.

BUT NO WAS NOT ENOUGH TO RETAIN

THE TITLES.

AND AGAIN, HIGH IMPACT OFFENSE

FROM RIDGE HOLLAND.

AND YOU KNOW YOU GOT TO TAKE A

LOOK AT THIS MATCHUP.

YOU START LOOKING AHEAD.

YOU LOOK AHEAD TO THE NEXT

PREMIUM LIVE EVENT OF COURSE

WHICH IS IN OCTOBER HALLOWEEN

HAVOC, THE CW YOU KNOW, DEBUT IN

A FEW WEEKS.

YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE TAG TEAM

DIVISION.

WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE

DIVISION?

- YOU KNOW, I REALLY THINK THE

TAG TEAM DIVISION IS WIDE OPEN

RIGHT NOW.

IT'S LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY TO

STEP IN THERE AND DO SOMETHING.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, BUT HOW LONG

ARE THEY GOING TO HOLD ON TO IT?

THAT'S A QUESTION.

- OH WOW

- LOOK AT THE STRENGTH AGAIN

AND YOU GOT TO REMEMBER FOR

RIDGE HOLLAND SIX YEARS, SIX

YEARS TO FINALLY WEAR GOLD HERE

IN THIS COMPANY.

AND HE'S FIGHTING LIKE IT'S HIS

LAST DAY.

HE'S LAYING IT ALL ON THE LINE

AND RIDGE GOING TO THE TOP.

- I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW,

VIC, THAT FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP IS

LIKE THE PRECIOUS.

IT'S LIKE THE PRECIOUS MAN.

YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO LOSE IT

- ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP.

HOLLAND INTO THE COVER AND

FRAZER

FLYING THROUGH THE AIR.

- WOW.

OUT OF NOWHERE.

VIC, THAT RIGHT THERE TELLS ME A

LOT ABOUT THIS TEAM HERE

TONIGHT.

THEY'RE IN SYNC.

- I MEAN, YOU BRING UP THE TEAM.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, TOO, WHEN

YOU THINK OF ANDRE CHASE AND

RIDGE HOLLAND.

THIS IS JUST THE SECOND TIME

THEY'VE EVER TEAMED TOGETHER.

THE FIRST TIME THEY WON TAG TEAM

GOLD AS DENVER RISING TO THEIR

FEET HERE AT NO MERCY.

- I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE A ONE

MAN WRECKING CREW RIGHT NOW.

RIDGE HOLLAND IS DOING ALL THE

WORK.

WHAT A HELLISH ANDRE CHASE.

- TALKING ABOUT DOING ALL THE

WORK.

IT IS A TWO FOR ONE AXIOM

FRAZER WORKING AS A UNIT INTO

THE COVER HOOK OF THE LEG THIS

TIME

AND ANOTHER KICK OUT.

THAT RIGHT THERE TOO VIC

DOUBLE UP, DOUBLE UP ONE

MORE TIME, MAN.

OTM.

IDRIS.

MALIK.

GALLUS.

ALSO RILEY AND DUKE ON THE

OUTSIDE.

ALL THOSE TEAMS WATCHING THIS

MATCH SO CLOSELY WITH THE TAG

OUT OF THAT BIG SHOT.

BANG.

HOLD ON.

YOU TALK ABOUT THE RESILIENCE.

AXIOM GIVE CREDIT TO ANDRE

CHASE.

THIS MAN IS PULLING OUT ALL

THE STOPS.

- ANDRE CHASE A LOT OF CREDIT,

BUT YOU GOT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT

MORE FOR THAT KICK OUT RIGHT

THERE.

THAT WAS IT VIC.

- OH.

ABLE TO CATCH FOR A SECOND.

THERE COMES THAT POWER AGAIN OF

RIDGE HOLLAND LIGHTING UP AXIOM

- GOD.

- AND AS MUCH CREDIT AS I GIVE

ANDRE CHASE FOR GETTING CHASE U

BACK ON THE RIGHT PATH, IT'S

ALSO RIDGE HOLLAND WHO REALLY,

SINCE HE'S BEEN ACCEPTED INTO

CHASE U, HAS REALLY THE ENTIRE

CAMPUS.

THEIR CONFIDENCE HAS GOTTEN A

HUGE BOOST.

- SO ARE YOU BUYING IN TO RIDGE

HOLLAND BY ANY MEANS?

NO, NOT BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

- ALWAYS HAVR

- YOU SEEN WHAT HE'S DONE?

- BOOM.

- SUPERKICK UNDER THE JAW RIDGE.

AXIOM THE ONLY ONE STANDING NOW.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S GONNA FLY.

I SAID IT ONCE.

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.

CHASE.

NICE CATCH.

NICE COUNTER THOUGH.

COMING RIGHT BACK IN WITH A BOOT

STEP UP ENZUIGIRI RIGHT BACK

EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT

SQUARED CIRCLE.

INTO THE COVER.

OH, AND AXIOM WAS ABLE TO RISE

BACK UP.

YOU TALK ABOUT PRESENCE OF MIND,

KNOWING WHERE YOU'RE AT.

TRYING TO SECURE THE PINFALL

THERE, BUT GOT CAUGHT OUT OF

POSITION.

- THIS IS OUR OPENING CONTEST.

THE FIRST OF FIVE CHAMPIONSHIP

MATCHES HERE AT NO MERCY.

WE'RE IN DENVER.

THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN ELECTRIC

AS THESE FOUR HAVE BEEN TEARING

THE HOUSE DOWN.

AND AGAIN, I'LL SAY IT ONE MORE

TIME.

NIGHT.

VIC, FOR THE PEOPLE JUST TUNING

IN, THIS IS THE FIRST MATCH.

- NICE ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM

FRAZER, WHO NOW HOISTS UP

CHASE.

THESE TWO TEAMS WHO KNOW EACH

OTHER SO VERY WELL, YOU GOT TO

WONDER, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE

TO KEEP THE OTHER ONE DOWN?

- THE BATTLE SCARS ON THE BACK

OF NATHAN FRAZER.

HERE TONIGHT.

HE WANTS THOSE TITLES BACK.

YEAH, IT WAS TOUGH.

GIVING ANDRE CHASE A LITTLE

EXTRA HERE TONIGHT, BUT NOW

LOOKING FOR THAT GOLDEN RATIO.

MISCOMMUNICATION.

WE'VE SEEN THIS IN THE PAST.

FRAZER'S OUT.

AXIOM DOESN'T REALIZE RIDGE

HOLLAND IS THE LEGAL SUPERSTAR.

IF HE DIDN'T REALIZE IT, THEN HE

CERTAINLY KNOWS NOW.

- GOOD NIGHT.

BACKSTABBER.

CHASE U.

STILL

TOOK OUT HOLLAND, BUT ALSO THAT

MOMENTUM TOOK DOWN ANDRE CHASE.

FLYING THROUGH THE AIR.

NEVER SLOW DOWN.

AXIOM.

BACK INTO THE RING.

INSIDE CRADLE, INSIDE CRADLE

NICE DUCK AND A BIG SWINGING

NECKBREAKER FROM ANDRE CHASE

AND AGAIN

YOU TALKED ABOUT STEPPING OUT OF

YOUR PLAYBOOK, STEPPING OUT OF

YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

CHASE U IT ONE MORE TIME.

THIS TIME IT WILL NOT PAY OFF.

- I WAS GOING TO SAY ANDRE CHASE

GOT A CHANCE TO SHOW ME A LITTLE

SOMETHING, BUT GOT CAUGHT

WATCHING THE PAINT DRY RIGHT

THERE.

- TAG BECAUSE FRAZER IS NOW

LEGAL.

- THIS IS THE COMBO.

IT'S THE SPANISH FLY.

AND THEN YOU FOLLOW IT UP WITH A

LITTLE PHOENIX SPLASH HERE IN

THE MILE HIGH CITY.

INTO THE COVER AND THE

CHALLENGERS RECLAIM THE TITLES.

[BELL RINGS]

[AXIOM AND FRAZER'S MUSIC]

- HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS AND NEW

NXT UNIVERSE.

STANDING OVATION FOR THE NEW

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

AND I WANT TO GO BACK.

I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW

YOU FIND HIGHLIGHTS BECAUSE THIS

WAS A HIGHLIGHT REEL.

FIRST, IT WAS THIS DOOMSDAY

DEVICE FROM RIDGE HOLLAND FLYING

THROUGH THE AIR.

DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO KEEP

GOLD AROUND HIS WAIST.

FRAZER WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT

AGAIN.

THIS IS A MAN WHO HAS BATTLED

AND OVERCOME THE ODDS FOR THE

LAST SIX YEARS HERE, THOUGH.

BAM.

THAT MISCOMMUNICATION, WHICH IN

THE PAST HAS BEEN THE DETRIMENT

OF AXIOM AND FRAZER, AND IT

ALLOWED RIDGE HOLLAND TO CHANGE

THE GAME.

AND RIGHT HERE.

BOOM, THAT VICIOUS, DEVASTATING

POWERBOMB BACKSTAB COMBO.

BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP

DOWN THE HEART OF AXIOM WHO

WOULD SHOWCASE HIS HEART.

AND FRAZER WOULD SHOWCASE THAT

NATURAL AERIAL ABILITY.

BAM.

WITH THAT PHOENIX SPLASH OFF THE

SPANISH FLY TO RECLAIM.

THE TAG TEAM TITLES.

- THEY WERE POISED.

THEY WERE PRIMED AND THEY WERE

READY TONIGHT TO RECLAIM THE

GOLD.

BUT HATS OFF TO CHASE U, WHO

BROUGHT IT HERE TONIGHT IN

DENVER AT NO MERCY.

OH, WHAT THE HELL

RIDGE?

[CROWD BOOS]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[YELLING]

EARLIER TODAY, JAIDA PARKER

ARRIVED FOR HER FIRST WOMEN'S

CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY HERE IN

AND SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO FACE

SOMEONE.

BOOKER, YOU KNOW VERY WELL THE

PRODIGY, THE CHAMPION, THE

CONFIDENT ROXANNE PEREZ NXT

WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE

LATER TONIGHT.

BUT WE GOT TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE

JUST SAW MOMENTS AGO.

WE KICKED OFF THE NIGHT WITH NEW

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, BUT THE

HEADLINE IS WHAT HAPPENED AFTER

THE MATCHUP.

RIDGE HOLLAND SHOWING NO MERCY

TO CHASE U FIRST ATTACKING RILEY

OSBORNE AND DUKE HUDSON, AND

THEN TURNING HIS ATTENTION TO

ANDRE CHASE RIGHT HERE WITH THE

REDEEMER ON OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE.

THE RAGE OF RIDGE UNLEASHED

TONIGHT.

AND THERE YOU SEE THE AFTERMATH,

WHICH HAPPENED MOMENTS AGO, AND

WE HOPE TO HAVE AN UPDATE ON

ANDRE CHASE LATER ON TONIGHT.

WE GOT TO MOVE ON WITH THE

EVENING BECAUSE COMING UP NEXT,

THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF

RAGE IN THIS MATCHUP.

IT'S NOT ABOUT TITLES, IT'S

ABOUT A BOND

BROKEN BROTHERS PARTNERS NO

MORE.

WES LEE TURNED HIS BACK ON

ZACHARY WENTZ, LEADING TO A

FIGHT WE NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD

SEE.

- CHASING THIS DREAM PUT ME DOWN

A VERY DARK PATH.

BUT WHEN YOU ALIGN YOURSELF WITH

THE RIGHT PEOPLE, YOU KEEP YOUR

MIND RIGHT.

WE WILL NOT BE DENIED.

- WES LEE.

ZACHARY WENTZ.

TOGETHER THEY ARE

- MSK

ALL NIGHT AND ALL DAY DUDE.

- ALL THE HARD WORK, DEDICATION.

- THIS IS EVERYTHING TO US.

- I WENT FROM BEING.

YOUR TWO TIME NXT TAG TEAM

CHAMPION WITH MY BEST FRIEND AND

MY BROTHER.

JUST TO HAVE OUR WORLD EXPLODE

RIGHT FROM UNDER OUR FEET.

OH, NO.

- WHILE,

I AM SIFTING THROUGH THE RUBBLE,

TRYING TO FIND MYSELF.

ALL THAT I FIND IS PAIN AND

ANGER.

I CAN NEVER FORGIVE MY PAST.

AND I CAN ONLY RELY ON MYSELF.

AND MAKE THE WAVES THAT I'M

DESTINED TO.

YOU KNOW MY STORY WITH THE NORTH

AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

- WES LEE

THE GREATEST NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPION EVER.

- HE LITERALLY BROKE MY BACK

TRYING TO DEFEND IT.

I'M UNSURE ON WHEN YOU WILL SEE

ME AGAIN.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE SURGERY AND

TIME.

YES, IT WAS HARD, BUT I WAS

FOCUSED ON ONE GOAL TO GET BACK

HERE.

- WES LEE IS BACK.

- I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS TITLE

SO MUCH TO THE POINT THAT IT'S

BECOME AN OBSESSION.

THAT WAS THE THING THAT TRULY

PUSHED ME THROUGH REHAB.

I IMAGINED THE TITLE IN MY HANDS

AGAIN, AND I WAS READY TO

PROUDLY RAISE IT ABOVE MY HEAD

AS THE KING OF THE WEST SIDE.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S NOT

HOW IT HAPPENED.

I HAVE HAD ONE HELL OF A RUN

HERE IN NXT.

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR ME TO

START STEPPING AWAY.

- NO WAY.

BOOKER IS WES LEE'S BEST FRIENDS

AND FORMER PARTNERS.

TREY MIGUEL AND ZACHARY WENTZ

ARE HERE.

- WE DON'T WANT TO SEE WES LEE

GO.

WE HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

I THINK IT'S TIME WE GET MSK

BACK TOGETHER.

- I BELIEVED THAT I WAS GOING TO

BE WINNING THE TAG TEAM TITLES

WITH MY BEST FRIEND.

BUT.

- NOT YOUR BROTHER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ZACH, LET ME DOWN AGAIN.

- YOU LEFT ME ALONE.

I AM TIRED OF TAKING CARE OF

YOU, ZACH.

YOU AND I ARE JUST NOT

ON THE SAME LEVEL.

- A MATCH WE NEVER

THOUGHT WOULD

EVER HAPPEN.

LEE WENTZ AT NO MERCY.

- I WANT YOU TO DENT EVERYTHING.

FORGET THE FRIENDSHIP THAT WE

HAVE HAD.

FORGET EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE

DONE.

NO MERCY I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU

WHY I'M THE WWE SUPERSTAR.

AND YOU ARE NOTHING BUT

A TNA.

WRESTLER.

- BRO AT NO MERCY.

THIS TNA WRESTLER IS GOING TO

BEAT THE ASS OF THIS WWE

SUPERSTAR.

WES LEE

[THE RASCALZ MUSIC]

[BELL RINGS]

- THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS

SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL.

INTRODUCING

FIRST, HE IS THE TNA X DIVISION

CHAMPION.

ZACHARY WENTZ

- BOOK

JUST HEARD FROM THE RING

ANNOUNCER ALICIA TAYLOR.

THERE IS THE TNA X DIVISION

CHAMPION.

WHO IS ZACHARY WENTZ WHO WON

THAT TITLE THE OTHER NIGHT

HE'S LOOKING TO CAP OFF A BIG,

BIG WEEKEND.

BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT TITLES.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT

AS YOU WOULD SAY.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE WHEN

IT COMES TO CHAMPIONSHIP?

- CHAMPIONSHIPS.

ALL THAT.

NO, NO.

IT'S ABOUT TWO BROTHERS GOING IN

HERE AND SETTLING A SCORE.

THIS IS PERSONAL VIC

- IT'S BEEN A LOT OF UPS

AND A LOT

OF DOWNS FOR ZACHARY WENTZ.

IS HE 100% MENTALLY AND

PHYSICALLY READY FOR TONIGHT?

BECAUSE I TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT

ZACHARY WENTZ IS WEARING.

TAKE A CLOSE LOOK.

THOSE ARE PICTURES.

THERE'S PHOTOS OF HIM AND HIS

OPPONENT TONIGHT.

HIS BROTHER HIS FORMER PARTNER

WES LEE.

[WES LEE'S MUSIC]

- AND HIS OPPONENT WES LEE.

- NO ONE THOUGHT I CERTAINLY

DIDN'T.

THAT WES WAS CAPABLE OF DOING

AND SAYING THE THINGS HE HAS

RECENTLY.

- LIKE I SAID A SECOND AGO, THIS

IS PERSONAL, MAN.

AND WHAT I SEE IS ALL THE HURT,

ALL THE PAIN COMING OUT OF THIS

YOUNG MAN.

WES LEE FOR BEING LEFT BEHIND.

BEING LEFT FOR DEAD.

THAT'S HOW BEING THAT ROLE THAT

CAME UP OUT OF THE CONCRETE AND

BECAME NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.

THE GREATEST NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPION IN THE HISTORY OF NXT.

HE DID IT ALL BY HIMSELF VIC.

HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHEERLEADERS

PUSHING HIM TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY RASCALZ

OR ANY FRIENDS.

- ONE COMING INTO THIS MATCHUP

CONFIDENT, THE OTHER ONE COMING

INTO THIS MATCH.

EMOTIONAL

THIS IS A FIGHT THAT ZACK NEVER

WANTED.

THIS IS BECAUSE WES LEE TURNED

HIS BACK ON HIS BROTHERS.

THAT IS WHAT HAS BROUGHT US HERE

TODAY.

THESE ARE TWO GUYS THAT TEAM FOR

THE FIRST TIME BOOKER

[BELL RINGS]

AT ROCKSTAR PRO DECEMBER

THE 12TH, 2015.

AND THEY KNOW EACH OTHER SO

WELL.

AND YOU'VE BEEN A PART OF A LOT

OF RIVALRIES AGAINST THE ROCK

JOHN CENA, THE STEINERS.

WHEN YOU KNOW SOMEONE SO WELL,

WHAT MUST YOU DO TO WIN?

- NO NO, NO, IT'S DIFFERENT.

YOU KNOW, BETWEEN ME AND THE

ROCK GUYS LIKE THAT, THESE GUYS

HAVE BEEN RIDING TOGETHER.

THEY'VE BEEN BOYS FOR A LONG

TIME.

THAT MEANS, LIKE I SAY, THIS IS

GOING TO BE NOT JUST A FIGHT.

THIS MIGHT BE A WAR.

- THEY TRAVEL THE ROAD TOGETHER.

YOU'RE 100% RIGHT WITH THAT.

THEY TRAIN TOGETHER.

I MEAN, NO ONE COULD HAVE

PREDICTED THIS OUTCOME AS THE

FIRST COVER OF THE MATCHUP.

AND A QUICK KICK OUT AND RIGHT

BACK IN NOW GOES WENTZ.

KICK OUT BY WES LEE AGAIN STILL

TRENDING NUMBER ONE BECAUSE THE

ACTION STARTED OUT FAST AND

FURIOUS.

IT'S CONTINUING WITH THIS

MATCHUP RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.

NICE TAKEDOWN BY LEE.

DOUBLE STOMP DOESN'T CONNECT.

WENTZ BACK TO HIS FEET.

NICE BLOCK FOR A MOMENT.

AND AGAIN HERE'S HOW WELL THESE

TWO KNOW EACH OTHER.

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO

DO.

RIGHTS LEFTS WHEN THEY'RE GOING

TO JUMP.

WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO SPRINT

WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO WALK.

- IT'S A CHESS MATCH.

RIGHT NOW MAN.

HE'S GOING TO SCORE THE FIRST

SHOT.

- AND AGAIN I BRING IT BACK TO

THESE TWO AS THEY JUST STARE

HOLES THROUGH THE OTHER.

YOU AND STEVIE RAY HAD TO HAVE

ARGUMENTS DURING YOUR GUYS'S

HALL OF FAME RUN.

I MEAN, IT HAPPENS.

- NO, NO, NO.

IT HAPPENS, VIC.

IT HAPPENS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU LEARN TO GET

THROUGH IT.

SOMETIMES YOU DON'T.

ME AND MY BROTHER, WE'RE STILL

AT ODDS ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS.

SO I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW,

TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT

A WHOLE LOT ABOUT BOTH OF THESE

YOUNG MEN, HOW

FAR THEY'RE WILLING TO GO.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

- I'LL ASK YOU THIS TOO.

COULD THESE TWO HAVE HANDLED

THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY,

OR WAS IT JUST INEVITABLE?

- I THINK WE'RE PAST THAT.

I REALLY DO.

I THINK THAT'S IN THE REAR VIEW

MIRROR OF BOTH OF THESE YOUNG

MEN'S CAREERS AT THIS POINT.

- WENTZ RIGHT NOW LOOKING FOR

THAT BIG SHOT.

AND HE GOT IT.

NICE HIGH IMPACT OFFENSE FROM

THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE INTO A

COVER AND WES LEE.

I MEAN KICKED OUT BUT BARELY.

THERE WAS NOT A LOT TO LOOK AT.

WES LEE HAS GOT TO TAKE A

COUPLE.

HE MIGHT HAVE HAD THE WIND

KNOCKED OUT OF HIM RIGHT THERE.

- 200FT ABOVE SEA LEVEL.

THESE GUYS BETTER BE READY.

YOU CAN TELL RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE GASSING JUST A LITTLE

BIT.

- THEY CAME OUT FAST RIGHT OUT

OF THE GATE.

AGAIN, THE ANIMOSITY BETWEEN

THESE TWO, A FEVER PITCH AND

THEN GOING LOW, HANGING OUT THE

ROPES

AND NOW RIGHT INTO THAT STEEL

POST.

- I'M TALKING ABOUT

WES LEE SET HIM

UP RIGHT THERE.

AND THIS IS A DIFFERENT WES LEE

WES LEE NORMALLY WOULD GO TO

THAT, THAT THAT PLAYBOOK RIGHT

THERE.

BUT TONIGHT IS ABOUT ANY MEANS

NECESSARY VIC.

- YOU KNOW THIS IS THAT

VICIOUS, VINDICTIVE SIDE OF WES

LEE.

AND YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON THE

HEAD.

JUST TAKE A LOOK IN THE EYES OF

WES LEE.

THE SMILE IS GONE FROM THE FACE.

HE'S HERE TO PROVE A POINT.

AS HE SAID.

OH.

FINALLY DROPPED THE DEAD WEIGHT.

- NO, NO, NO.

AND I GET IT, I GET IT.

BUT BUT BUT LIKE I SAID EARLIER,

VIC, HOW FAR IS WES LEE WILLING

TO GO?

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE QUESTION

AT THE END OF THE DAY.

- I'LL COME BACK TO YOU AND SAY,

HOW FAR IS ZACHARY WENTZ WILLING

TO GO FOR THIS MATCHUP?

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT THIS TO

HAPPEN BUT HE JUST GOT DROPPED

SPINE FIRST WHERE STEEL MEETS

WOOD.

- TALKED ABOUT WHERE'S HIS HEAD.

WHERE HIS HEAD IS.

- COVERED BY WES LEE INTO THE

COVER AND A KICK OUT.

- NO WAY.

WENTZ COULD BE 100% FOCUSED

BECAUSE THESE GUYS WERE FRIENDS.

- THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, IN SOME

OF THE NXT UNIVERSE, HAVE SAID

IN CERTAIN WAYS THAT WES LEE HAS

BEEN SELFISH FOR HIS ACTIONS.

I COME TO YOU AND GO, DO YOU

AGREE AFTER SEEING THE

PHYSICALITY IN THIS MATCHUP?

- I GO.

I MEAN, YOU WALK A MILE IN

WES LEE'S SHOES LIKE I SAID.

WES LEE SAID HE BROKE HIS BACK

FOR THIS COMPANY.

COME ON, VIC.

COME ON.

- LOOK, WENTZ HAS ADMITTED TO

HIS PAST MISTAKES.

SOME WROTE HIM OFF.

HE DIDN'T WRITE BACK.

HE STAYED IN WES LEE'S CORNER.

HE GAVE ENCOURAGEMENT.

HE WAS THERE WHEN WES

LEE DOUBTED HIMSELF.

YOU TALK ABOUT BREAKING HIS

BACK.

WHO WAS THERE FOR THOSE LATE

PHONE CALLS?

WHO WAS THERE TO SAY, YOU STILL

GOT THIS?

WHO WAS THERE TO SAY, YOU'RE

STILL ONE OF THE BEST?

IT WAS ZACHARY WENTZ.

AND WES LEE FORGOT ABOUT THAT

SOMEWHERE AS HE CONTINUES THE

OFFENSIVE ONSLAUGHT.

- HE'S A PITY PARTY I THINK.

I THINK WENTZ IS JUST TRYING TO

GIVE HIM GIVE WES LEE

- WHAT MORE COULD.

WES WANT THEN?

- COME ON VIC.

- WHAT MORE COULD HE WANT?

BOOK.

JUST TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, PUMP

YOU UP FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

YOU NEED A REAL FRIEND IN YOUR

CORNER.

THESE GUYS CAME BACK BECAUSE

THEY SAW WES LEE AT THE TOP OF

HIS GAME HERE IN NXT, AND THEY

WANTED A PIECE OF THE ACTION.

THEY WANTED SOME CHAMPAGNE

WISHES.

THEY WANTED SOME OF THE CAVIAR

DREAMS

THAT'S WHAT.

COME ON, VIC.

- I JUST SAW THAT DROP KICK

RIGHT TO THE SHOULDER BLADE INTO

ANOTHER COVER AND ZACHARY WENTZ

ABLE TO KICK OUT AGAIN.

BUT YOU SEE THE GAME PLAN FOR

WES LEE.

HE IS SYSTEMATICALLY DISSECTING

ZACHARY WENTZ FROM TOP TO

BOTTOM.

BOTTOM TO TOP.

- EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW IS JUST

YOU

KNOW TAKING HIS TIME YOU KNOW

PICKING PICKING HIS SPOTS TAKING

WENTZ APART PIECE BY PIECE RIGHT

NOW MAKING HIM PAY PAY VIC.

- PAY FOR WHAT THE WES LEE CAN'T

GO BACK IN TIME.

HE CAN'T DO IT.

ALL HE'S DONE IS CHANGE THE

ADDRESS TO HIS PROBLEMS.

HE'S BLAMING THE WENTZ.

BUT HAS HE EVER LOOKED AT IT

FROM A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT.

THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON.

MAYBE HE WOULDN'T HAVE BECAME

ONE OF THE GREATEST CHAMPIONS IN

THIS BRAND'S HISTORY.

ACHIEVED DREAMS AND HAD SUCCESS.

- WAIT A

MINUTE.

ARE YOU GIVING WENTZ THE CREDIT

FOR WES LEE OR IS THAT WHAT YOU

COME ON VIC

- BREAK A BOND LIKE

THEY HAD TO BE SELFISH TO BRING

IT TO THIS.

THIS IS SAD.

ZACHARY WENTZ WAS HEARTBROKEN.

YOU COULD SEE WHAT HE SAID ON

SOCIAL MEDIA.

- I CAN'T DISAGREE

WITH YOU ON THAT OKAY.

FOR THE FIRST TIME

I CAN'T DISAGREE WITH YOU ON

THAT.

OKAY VI.

- AS THIS MATCH CONTINUES TO

BREAK DOWN THIS VERY EVENLY.

MATCH.

- OH, BABY.

- TURN IT AROUND.

BIG JUMPING KNEE RIGHT TO THE

TEMPLE.

- BIG SHOT RIGHT THERE.

- LET ME TELL YOU, WENTZ, LIKE

HE'S GETTING A LITTLE ADRENALINE

RUSH RIGHT NOW.

HE'S GOING TO NEED IT.

- HE MIGHT ALSO BE TRYING TO

SHAKE SOME BLOOD BACK INTO HIS

SHOULDERS.

I MEAN, GO RIGHT BACK HERE AND

THEN BAM.

COULD THAT BE THE MOMENT BOOKER

THAT TURNS THIS MATCH AROUND FOR

ZACHARY WENTZ.

AS WENTZ NOW TRYING TO BUILD

SOME MOMENTUM HERE IN DENVER

COLORADO NXT NO MERCY.

TWO FORMER PARTNERS TWO FORMER

BROTHERS.

THE BOND BROKEN AS HE GOT

CAUGHT.

- WOW.

- RIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT.

- WOW.

WHAT WAS THAT?

- THAT WAS HIGH IMPACT OFFENSE.

FOLLOWED UP WITH A SNAP GERMAN

SUPLEX WES LEE RIGHT NOW.

DISCOMBOBULATED ON RUBBER LEGS.

WENTZ LOOKING IN.

TARGET ACQUIRED.

BIG JUMPING KNEE UNDER THE JAW.

- THESE KIDS WENT TO SHOW ME A

LITTLE SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.

VIC HIS IN-RING PROWESS IS

STEPPING UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

GOTTA LOVE IT.

- THAT WOULD HAVE

BEEN GOOD FROM

60 IF HE WAS KICKING FOR THE

BRONCOS.

SAID WENTZ WAS FEELING IT RIGHT

BACK IN AND AGAIN TAKEN OUT WES

LEE.

AND WENTZ IS REALLY HARNESSING

THOSE EMOTIONS THAT WE TALKED

ABOUT THAT ANGER.

- I TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER.

AS FAR AS STAYING FOCUSED.

THIS KID IS SEEMS TO BE FOCUSED

AND TUNED IN TO GOING.

OUT HERE AND GET PERHAPS THE

BIGGEST WIN OF HIS CAREER OVER

WES LEE, THE GREATEST NORTH

AMERICAN CHAMPION IN NXT

HISTORY.

- BLOCKING OUT THE PAIN RIGHT

NOW.

IS ZACHARY WENTZ.

- CAUTION TO THE WIND AS WELL.

[CROWD CHANTS]

- THE ENERGY OF THE NXT UNIVERSE

HERE IN DENVER HAS BEEN OFF THE

CHARTS AND UP AND DOWN GOES

WENTZ INTO THE COVER, HOOK OF

THE LEG AND LEE'S LEFT SHOULDER

OFF THE MAT JUST IN TIME.

AGAIN THESE TWO GUYS WHO WE KNOW

EACH OTHER SO VERY WELL, PULLING

OUT ALL THE

STOPS HERE TONIGHT TO EARN A

VICTORY HERE AT NO MERCY.

- YOU KNOW, YOU SAID EARLIER YOU

CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME.

AND THAT'S RIGHT, VIC.

YOU GOT TO COME.

YOU GOT TO.

YOU GOT TO LEARN WHEN IT'S TIME

TO JUST MOVE ON.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HIS

PROBLEM.

- I THINK IT'S WES LEE'S PROBLEM

BECAUSE HE COULDN'T MOVE ON FROM

THE PAST.

LOOKING FOR THAT HALF AND HALF.

COUNTERED ONE MORE TIME, LEE

WITH A NICE STANDING SWITCH

ROLLING THROUGH.

SHOULDERS DOWN.

REFEREE.

GREAT POSITION.

- WOW.

- FOLLOWING THIS MATCH UP AND

OH, METEORA ROLLED RIGHT

THROUGH INTO THE BOSTON CRAB IN

DENVER.

REMEMBER THE

SURGICALLY REPAIRED BACK OF WES

LEE?

- YEAH, IT'S A BAD, BAD SPOT.

RIGHT HERE FOR WES LEE.

OH, MY GOD.

- HE'S GONNA MAKE

WES LEE CRAWL A MILE TO GET TO

THAT BOTTOM ROPE.

- HE CAN'T GET ALL OF IT.

HE'S GONNA HAVE TO SIT BACK A

LITTLE BIT MORE IF YOU WANT TO

LET IT SET IN A LITTLE BIT MORE.

WES LEE'S LOWER LUMBAR.

NOPE.

- JUST ENOUGH TO TWIST AND TURN

HIS WAY OUT AND A LITTLE MULE

KICK RIGHT UNDER THE JAW.

BACKING UP WENTZ FOR A MOMENT.

BIG SUPERKICK BY WENTZ.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WES LEE IS

STANDING.

THERE'S ONE THING FOR SURE THE

RASCALZ RIDING NO MORE HERE

TONIGHT AT NO MERCY.

- WES LEE IS IN TROUBLE.

OH WOW.

- BEING ABLE TO ANSWER RIGHT

BACK.

AND THERE IS WHAT WE'VE SEEN

FROM WES LEE, LEE-

- OH MY GOD, MAN.

TALKING ABOUT A SLEEPER.

TALKING ABOUT A SLEEPER.

THAT'S IT.

- THE COVER AND WENTZ ABLE TO

KICK OUT.

AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE

EXTRA IN THIS MATCHUP.

YOU KNOW THAT.

- OH.

OH NO.

- CARDIAC KICK FOR THE WIN.

THERE'S ONLY TWO.

CHIP DANNING SAID THAT WAS

ONLY TWO.

- THAT HAD TO BE A SLOW COUNT

VIC

- WENTZ GOT HIT SO HARD HE

MIGHT THINK HIS NAME IS CARTER

WHEN HE WAKES UP.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS OFFENSE FROM

WES LEE.

LOOK AT THE ROTATION.

STICKS THE LANDING.

COULDN'T GET THE JOB DONE.

[CROWD CHANTS]

NXT LETTING WES LEE KNOW

HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT HIM HERE

TONIGHT.

- KING OF WEST SIDE GETTING

READY TO

TAKE IT TO THE STREET RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

IT'S ABOUT TO TURN INTO A FIGHT.

I'M LOVING IT.

PUT HANDS ON THAT BOY.

OH, YES.

- BOOKER, THIS HAS BEEN A FIGHT

SINCE THESE.

BOTH.

BOTH THESE MEN ARRIVED AT THE

AIRPORT.

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE GETTING

THEMSELVES INTO.

LEE MISSING WILDLY WITH THE BOOT

COMING RIGHT BACK IN.

OH, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

LOOKED LIKE A BLOCKBUSTER DDT.

FOLLOWED UP WITH THE METEORA AND

THE MOMENTUM CARRYING WEST ALL

THE WAY TO THE OUTSIDE.

- WOW.

- YOU TALK ABOUT HIGH IMPACT

OFFENSE HERE AT NO MERCY.

[CROWD CHANTS "THIS IS AWESOME"]

- YOU SAID YOU WANTED A FIGHT,

BOOKER.

THEN YOU JUST TAKE A LOOK.

IN THE EYES OF WES.

AND WENTZ TRYING TO FIGHT

BACK.

OOH.

REFEREE BEING LENIENT RIGHT NOW

BOOK.

THE REF WANTS TO SEE A VICTORY.

BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.

- THE DIFFERENT WES LEE RIGHT

NOW

LOOK AT THE EYES.

LOOK AT THE EYES

VIC.

OH, YEAH.

- NO, NO, IT WAS THERE

WENTZ JUST

GOT OUT OF THE WAY.

[YELLING]

AND IN A MATCH LIKE THIS, IT IS

SO PERSONAL.

- THE REFEREE, USING DISCRETION.

BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT'S AT

STAKE.

HE KNOWS THE ANIMOSITY BETWEEN

THESE TWO.

BOTH MEN LOOK AT WENTZ TRYING

TO BREAK THE COUNT I BELIEVE HE

DID SO IN WES LEE HAVING NONE OF

THAT.

OH.

- OH MAN.

WOW.

- AND WENTZ

JUST LAID OUT AND WEST GOING TO

DO THIS.

NO WAY.

- OH MY GOD.

- OH MY GOD.

[YELLING]

FROM THE TOP WENTZ

THROWING CAUTION TO THE WIND.

BECAUSE WES LEE IS WILLING TO

DESTROY HIMSELF TO DESTROY

ZACHARY WENTZ.

- THIS IS PERSONAL, VIC.

I TOLD YOU.

I TOLD YOU, VIC.

I DID SAY THAT THE REFEREE WAS

USING DISCRETION

RIGHT BOOK?

BUT WHEN IS THE OFFICIAL GOING

TO STEP IN.

DESTROYER.

CANADIAN DESTROYER.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE HELL YOU

WANT TO CALL IT.

WENTZ IS FEELING IT.

THE ADRENALINE PUMPING THROUGH

HIS VEINS.

WENTZ NOW LOOKING FOR THAT UFO

CUTTER.

[ZACHARY WENTZ MUSIC]

THE TNA X DIVISION CHAMPION.

ZACHARY WENTZ.

WAS A FIGHT

ZACHARY WENTZ NEVER WANTED TO

HAPPEN.

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THROWING

YOU CAN THROW WHATEVER NARRATIVE

YOU WANTED TO DO.

WES LEE WAS OUT TO DO ONE

THING TONIGHT.

BUT NATHAN AXIOM GOT THE JOB

DONE.

YOU GOT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT.

DID YOU SEE NATHAN IN THERE?

- NO, NO, NO.

- IT'S NAUSEATING.

HE NEVER SLOWS DOWN.

- BANG BANG, BANG ALL

OVER THE

PLACE.

BUT NEW NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS

NEED NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS.

HANKIE.

- NOT A BAD IDEA.

AND I KNOW THE BOYS ARE PROBABLY

USED TO DRIVING ON THE OTHER

SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT I'M PRETTY

SURE THEY ALWAYS KNOW WHAT A

HONK HONK MEANS.

- I THINK THEY DO.

AND IF THEY DON'T, THEY'RE ABOUT

[WENDY CHOO'S MUSIC]

[BELL RINGS]

THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS

SCHEDULED FOR ONE

FALL IS FOR THE NXT WOMEN'S

NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

INTRODUCING FIRST THE

CHALLENGER, WENDY CHOO

- I HATE TO EVEN THROW THIS OUT

INTO THE UNIVERSE.

IS THE CHALLENGER THE FAVORITE

IN THIS MATCHUP?

I MEAN, REALLY THINK ABOUT THE

LAST MONTH OR SO OF WHAT WE'VE

SEEN FROM WENDY CHOO.

SHOULD SHE BE THE FAVORITE IN

THIS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH?

- I CAN ONLY SAY THIS.

I CAN ONLY SAY THIS.

IT'S IT'S ONE THING GETTING TO

THE TOP.

BUT IT'S SOMETHING TOTALLY

DIFFERENT STAYING AT THE TOP.

WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT A

WHOLE LOT ABOUT KELANI JORDAN

TONIGHT.

I ALWAYS SAID SHE'S SPECIAL, BUT

TONIGHT.

SHE'S IN HERE WITH THE SLEEPY

PSYCHO.

OH, YES, MAN.

- THAT WAS GOOD.

I'M ACTUALLY UPSET THAT I

DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT.

I DIDN'T COME UP WITH THAT ONE

- NICE JOB BOOK.

- THANK YOU

[KELANI JORDAN'S MUSIC]

- AND HER OPPONENT.

SHE IS THE NXT WOMEN'S

NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.

KELANI JORDAN.

- YOU BROUGHT UP THOUGH MOMENTS

AGO ABOUT KELANI JORDAN.

YOU KNOW, LEARNING A LOT.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK WHEN IT

COMES TO CHAMPION?

WHEN YOU BREAK IT DOWN?

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO LEARN.

FROM THE STANDOUTS.

- YOU KNOW,

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO

LEARN IF SHE'S BEEN STUDYING.

I ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THAT

PLAYBOOK.

I ALWAYS SAY STAYING READY SO

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET READY.

PREPARING A PREPARATION IS THE

ONLY LOOK YOU'RE EVER GOING TO

BUT HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR WENDY

CHOO?

I MEAN, YOU GOT TO WAKE UP AT

3:00 IN THE MORNING HAVING

NIGHTMARES.

- WELL, I'M

GLAD YOU BRING THAT UP,

BECAUSE HOW DIFFERENT OF A TEST

IS THIS FOR KELANI GOING UP

AGAINST SOMEONE

WHAT DID YOU CALL

WENDY CHOO?

- THE SLEEPY PSYCHO

- I MEAN, YOU EVEN GOT TO AGREE

WITH ME AGAIN.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT SORT OF

INDIVIDUAL.

KELANI JORDAN IS IN THE RING.

- NO, NO.

WENDY CHOO HAS FLIPPED THE

SCRIPT.

I MEAN, SHE USED TO COME TO THE

RING ALL BUBBLY, AND NOW

- THAT'S TRUE.

- WE GOT THIS

[BELL RINGS]

VERY, VERY. BIZARRE

- DOCUMENTED THAT JORDAN

AND NIL ATHLETE BIG TEN STANDOUT

FROM MICHIGAN STATE.

- THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP.

- THIS ISN'T THE BIG TEN.

SHE'S NEVER FACED ANYONE LIKE

CHOO AT MICHIGAN STATE.

BUT I GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING

OF THE NIGHT.

TAG TEAM TITLES ARE ON THE LINE.

WHAT WE JUST SAW FROM FROM WES

LEE AND ALL THE ROSTER HERE AT

NXT, HOW MUCH PRESSURE, IF ANY

TO VARYING DEGREES, ARE ON THE

COMPETITORS HERE.

TONIGHT WE TALK ABOUT THE CW

MOVE IN A FEW WEEKS.

HALLOWEEN HAVOC THE NEXT PREMIUM

LIVE EVENT WE HAVE ON SUNDAY,

OCTOBER 27TH.

THE PRESSURE IS AT AN ALL TIME

HIGH HERE IN NXT AND A KICK OUT.

- AND THE PRESSURE WAS ON FROM

FROM FROM DAY ONE HERE FOR THESE

THESE YOUNG GUYS HERE IN NXT.

AND THE THING IS IT'S ABOUT IT'S

ABOUT PERFORMING UNDER THE

BRIGHT LIGHTS.

IT'S ABOUT SHINING UNDER THOSE

BRIGHT LIGHTS.

LET ME TELL YOU RIGHT NOW,

KELANI JORDAN.

SHE'S BEEN THERE.

SHE'S BEEN THERE.

- JORDAN IS LOOKING TO ADD TO

HER OWN LEGACY HERE AS CHAMPION,

BUT WENDY CHOO, OF COURSE,

REALLY BRINGING NIGHTMARES TO

LIFE AS STILL TRENDING NUMBER

ONE INTO THE COVER.

AND WE ALMOST HAD A NEW CHAMPION

AS WENDY CHOO NOW APPLYING THE

OFFENSIVE PRESSURE.

AND REALLY, CHOO HAS

COME UP WITH

SOME WICKED PLANS OVER THE LAST

SEVERAL WEEKS WHEN IT COMES TO

THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM AND THE

WOMEN'S NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.

- EVERYBODY'S ON NOTICE RIGHT

NOW AS FAR AS WENDY CHOO GOES,

BECAUSE BEFORE, LIKE I SAY, IT

WAS A LOT DIFFERENT NOW.

IS IT ABOUT CHECKS?

IS IT ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS?

WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT HERE

TONIGHT.

OH BEAUTIFUL.

- NICE JOB BY JORDAN.

SHE IS CERTAINLY GOING TO HAVE

TO HAVE A STANDOUT PERFORMANCE

HERE TONIGHT TO RETAIN THE TITLE

BECAUSE WENDY CHOO IT'S BEEN

OVER TWO YEARS SINCE SHE HAS

COMPETED FOR THE WOMEN'S TITLE.

AND IS THAT PART OF THE REASON

WHY WE'VE SEEN THIS IDENTITY

SHIFT IN CHOO RECENTLY IS UP AND

OVER AND THAT'S THAT STANDOUT

OUT INDIVIDUAL THAT'S TAKING IT

TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

THAT'S THE NATURAL ATHLETIC

ABILITY OF KELANI JORDAN.

- I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT

TIME OFF PERHAPS DID WENDY CHOO

A LOT OF GOOD AS FAR AS TRYING

TO GET MOMENTUM, TRYING TO FIND

THAT

- GO FOR THE COVER.

LOOK FOR THAT SPLIT LEGGED

MOONSAULT.

BUT CHOO.

- TRYING TO CREATE SPACE

- ROLLING FROM THE LEFT TO THE

RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED.

- A LITTLE BIT

OF SPACE THAT WAS SMART BY

WENDY CHOO.

- TAKE ANOTHER LOOK

OOH, NASTY LANDING FOR KELANI

JORDAN BUT HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AND

LOOKING TO CLUTCH OUT.

JORDAN NICE ROLL THROUGH,

SHOULDERS DOWN AND HAVING TO

RELINQUISH THE HOLD WAS THE

CHALLENGER.

CHOO TURNING RIGHT BACK AROUND

LOOKING FOR A BELLY TO BACK

SUPLEX.

NICE COUNTER BY KELANI FOR A

MOMENT.

ABLE TO GO UP OVER LAND ON HER

FEET AND DELIVER A DROPKICK.

YOU ASKED ABOUT THE PLAYBOOK.

YOU ASKED ABOUT STUDYING KELANI

ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS RIGHT

NOW.

- JORDAN SHE'S A STUDENT MAN.

SHE'S A STUDENT OF THE GAME.

AND LIKE I SAID, FOR SOMEONE

THAT'S SO YOUNG VIC, SHE SEEMS

TO HAVE HER HEAD ON HER

SHOULDERS.

HERE WE GO.

HERE WE GO.

- TWO ABLE TO POWER OUT AT TWO.

YOU KNOW, FOR KELANI

SOMEONE THAT WE'VE

REALLY GOTTEN TO KNOW OVER THE

LAST SEVERAL MONTHS DOESN'T LIKE

THOSE WHO PICK ON OTHERS, SHE'S

ALSO SHOWN SHE'S NOT AFRAID TO

TAKE RISKS, BUT MAYBE TOOK A

LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH TIME.

- YEAH, THAT COULD BE A

DETRIMENT.

YOU CAN'T BE THINKING ABOUT

ANYBODY ELSE BUT A NUMBER ONE IN

THIS BUSINESS.

THAT'S WHAT GOT KELANI JORDAN TO

THE TOP.

IF SHE WANTS TO STAY THERE

VIC

- DID WENDY CHOO JUST

GROWL?

DID YOU HEAR WENDY CHOO JUST

GROWL AT KELANI JORDAN?

I MEAN, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE-

- OH, MAN

- TALK ABOUT THE SLEEPY

PSYCHO.

SHE WANTS TO MAKE HER DREAMS

BECOME A REALITY TONIGHT.

FINALLY WEAR GOLD.

BUT SHE'S GOT TO BRING THE

NIGHTMARE TO THE CHAMPION.

- TALKING ABOUT THE NIGHTMARES.

I LOVE IT, MAN.

SCARY LOOK ON THE FACE OF WENDY

CHOO.

- AND IT HAS BEEN QUITE THE

NIGHT.

THE FIRST EVER NXT PREMIUM LIVE

EVENT TO TAKE PLACE HERE IN

DENVER NOTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

KELANI JORDAN SAID WENDY CHOO IS

ACTUALLY HER FIRST OPPONENT ON

LEVEL UP, BUT THIS IS NOT THE

SAME CHOO THAT FACED JORDAN.

WE CAN ALSO SAY THAT THAT WASN'T

THE SAME KELANI JORDAN EITHER.

- I MEAN, KELANI JORDAN HAS

GROWN OVER THESE LAST FEW

MONTHS.

I MEAN, OVER THIS LAST YEAR, I

MEAN ALMOST BECAME THE BREAKOUT

TOURNAMENT WINNER.

SO CLOSE.

BUT NOW.

- NO, NO.

- OH, MAN.

BACK TO MY POINT.

HOLDING THAT GOLD.

VIC, YOU GOT A BULL'S EYE ON

YOUR BACK.

- AND WENDY CHOO CERTAINLY NOW

TRYING TO PULL OUT ALL THE

STOPS.

OH HAS REALLY HAD THE CHAMPIONS

NUMBER MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE

LAST MONTH.

THE NUMBERS SHE NEEDS NOW IS

THREE.

NOT ABLE TO GET IT.

SHE HAS BEEN ABLE TO CLUTCH OUT

KELANI JORDAN AT EVERY TURN.

I MEAN, THAT HAS TO HELP THE

CHALLENGER'S CONFIDENCE BECAUSE

NOW WE'RE GETTING INTO THE DEEP

WATERS OF THIS MATCHUP.

- LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WENDY CHOO HAS BEEN A STEP AHEAD

OF KELANI JORDAN SINCE THIS MAN

STARTED WHOA.

CHAMPION AND ROLLING RIGHT BACK

THROUGH INTO A PIN, JORDAN WAS

ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH AND RIGHT

IN TO A SMALL FLATLINER AND A

SINISTER SMILE ON THE FACE OF

THE SLEEPY PSYCHO.

- COME ON, TELL ME, TELL ME,

VIC, THIS WENDY CHOO RIGHT HERE

HAS CHAMPIONSHIP POTENTIAL.

- THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT IS WHAT

HAS BROUGHT HER TO THIS MATCHUP.

AND SHE COULD BE CLOSING IN ON

HER FIRST.

OH, BUT LOOK AT THE ATHLETICISM

AGAIN.

ON DISPLAY FROM KELANI JORDAN

ABLE TO LAND ON HER FEET.

DUCK A CLOTHESLINE, TURN RIGHT

BACK AROUND.

ROLL RIGHT THROUGH.

SHOULDERS DOWN NEAR FALL.

- THAT WAS SMART RIGHT THERE.

GOING FOR THE PINFALL.

OH MY GOD.

DOUBLE CHOP TO THE THROAT

- AND CHOO TURNING

AROUND.

AND NOW THAT LOOK ON THE FACE OF

WENDY CHOO IS ALMOST LOOKED AND

TURNED INTO DETERMINATION AND

OH, RIGHT TO THE SPINE GOES CHOO

- LIKE I SAY, THIS IS DIFFERENT.

SHE'S GOT MORE THAN ONE GEAR

- YEP.

- SHE'S TURNING IT ON WHEN

SHE WANTS TO.

RIGHT NOW SHE'S IN TOTAL CONTROL

OF THIS MATCHUP.

- IT'S HARD NOT TO ARGUE WITH

YOUR BOOK.

IS CHOO COMING RIGHT IN AND

SHOWING SOME ATHLETICISM IN HER

OWN RIGHT?

AND WE TALK ABOUT THAT

CONFIDENCE BEING BUILT IN THE

CHALLENGER OVER THE LAST MONTH.

YOU GOT TO ALSO THINK IF YOU'RE

KELANI JORDAN, YOU HAVEN'T LIKED

BEING CLUTCHED OUT OVER AND OVER

AGAIN.

YOU GOT TO BRING IT HERE

TONIGHT.

ROLLING THROUGH COVER COUNT AND

A NEAR FALL INTO SOMETHING.

- YOU'RE GOING INTO A MATCH WHEN

YOU'RE THE CHAMP AND YOU KNOW

YOU STILL FEEL LIKE YOU'RE THE

UNDERDOG.

LIKE YOU GOT SOMETHING TO PROVE.

OH, MY GOD, MAN.

WENDY CHOO IS ON TOP OF HER

GAME.

- CHOO BACK IN,

BIG KICK UNDER THE JAW.

AND WENDY CHOO HAS BEEN IN

CONTROL.

- OH, SLEEPY TIME SLEEPY TIME

- AND A KICK OUT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WENDY CHOO

WOULD DO IF SHE BECAME CHAMPION

HERE IN NXT?

THINK ABOUT THE CHAOS, THE HAVOC

SHE'S REACHED WITHOUT HAVING ANY

CHAMPIONSHIP, ANY SWAY, ANY

PULL.

- YOU LOOK AT IT WENDY CHOO LIKE

I SAY, THE GROWTH OF WENDY CHOO

AFTER TAKING THAT LAYOFF.

AND WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT GETTING

THAT CHAMPIONSHIP AROUND YOUR

WAIST, IT MAKES YOU ABOUT 20 TO

30% BETTER.

HERE WE GO

- OH, AND KELANI JUST ABLE TO

SHAKE HER WAY FREE.

CREATE A LITTLE BIT OF

SEPARATION.

ABLE TO SIT UP THIS TIME, BUT

RIGHT BACK DOWN.

LOOK AT KELANI FIGHTING HER WAY

THROUGH.

FIGHTING HER WAY BACK UP.

AND NOW BOTH WOMEN.

SAME IDEA.

BOTH WOMEN OUT WITH THE NXT

WOMEN'S NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPIONSHIP HANGING IN THE

BALANCE HERE AT NO MERCY IN

DENVER.

YOU BROUGHT IT UP A FEW TIMES.

MILE HIGH IN THE AIR.

YOU TALK ABOUT COMPETITORS

HAVING TO GET USED TO THE

ATMOSPHERE HERE

- 5200FT ABOVE SEA LEVEL.

VIC IS GOING TO COME INTO PLAY

AT SOME POINT IN TIME IN THESE

MATCHES HERE TONIGHT.

YOU JUST GOT TO SUCK IT UP.

- AND THAT IS WHAT KELANI JORDAN

IS DOING RIGHT NOW.

THE CHAMPION GOT CAUGHT THOUGH.

GERMAN SUPLEX DELIVERED

BEAUTIFULLY.

- ONE STEP AHEAD, VIC.

ALL NIGHT LONG, ALL NIGHT LONG.

- KELANI, THOUGH ABLE TO GET

RIGHT OUT IN FRONT.

AND NOW THERE'S THAT

ATHLETICISM.

THAT BIG TEN STANDOUT THAT

MICHIGAN STATE ATHLETICISM.

- WOW.

THEY'RE GETTING THIS YOUNG LADY

- COLLEGE STANDOUT

TO NXT CHAMPION

SIDESTEPS CHOO

CHOO ABLE TO

SIDESTEP FOR A MOMENT.

AND THEN ALMOST WITH THE HEEL OF

HER FOOT.

ABLE TO DROP THE CHALLENGER.

AND THIS NOW IS GO TIME FOR

KELANI JORDAN.

WE SAID.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO LEARN ABOUT

KELANI?

IT'S THESE MOMENTS, ISN'T IT?

BOOKER T IN CHAMPIONSHIP

MATCHES.

- TALKING ABOUT THOSE THOSE

CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS.

- STEP UP.

OH DDT

- HERE WE GO.

- ROLLING THROUGH THE CHAMPION.

KELANI HOLDING ON ANOTHER ONE.

HIGH IMPACT OFFENSE AGAIN TO

RETAIN AND WENDY CHOO.

- NOT TONIGHT.

- JUST GETTING THAT SHOULDER UP.

- NOT TONIGHT

- YOU SEE THE LOOK

OF KELANI JORDAN FRUSTRATION.

BAM.

SHE IS HITTING WENDY CHOO WITH

EVERYTHING IN THAT PLAYBOOK WE

TALKED ABOUT AND A LITTLE BIT

MORE AS BACK TO THE LIVE ACTION.

A DROP KICK CONNECTED AND WENDY

CHOO JUST SAT UP.

- YOU GOT TO WONDER HOW MANY

PLAYS LEFT.

HOW MANY PLAYS DOES KELANI

JORDAN HAVE LEFT IN THE TRICK

BAG VIC?

- ANOTHER SPLAT AND TWO.

AGAIN, ALMOST AS IF SHE'S

POSSESSED.

- OH MY GOD.

- AND KELANI STOMPING AWAY AND

NOW COULD BE LOOKING TO FLY.

WENDY CHOO NOT MOVING.

JORDAN TO THE TOP.

FROG SPLASH.

YOU CAN GIVE THAT FIVE STARS,

BUT YOU CAN'T GIVE HER THE THREE

YET.

CHOO'S INSIDE SHOULDER.

JUST OFF THE MAT.

UNBELIEVABLE.

AND BOOKER COME BACK.

WHAT PLACE?

WHAT PLACE COULD BE LEFT?

- I WONDER IF KELANI JORDAN HAS

RUN OUT OF IDEAS BY THIS POINT.

RIGHT THERE.

NOW SHE'S JUST OFF ON SOLO.

ON SOLO RIGHT NOW, VIC.

- AND THAT'S WHAT WE SAW EARLIER

IN THE MATCHUP, TRYING TO GO UP

AND OVER CHOO, THOUGH ABLE TO

COUNTER WITH SOME HIGH IMPACT

OFFENSE OF HER OWN.

BIG SUPLEX ON THE OUTSIDE.

- KELANI JORDAN RIGHT NOW HAVE

PULLED EVERY TRICK OUT OF THE

BAG AND I REALLY, HONESTLY TRULY

BELIEVE SHE'S OUT OF TRICKS NOW.

- VIC WENDY CHOO YOU GOT TO

WONDER WHAT SORT OF NIGHTMARE

SHE'S CONJURED UP.

WHAT SORT OF OFFENSE HAS A FULL

NELSON RIGHT NOW LOCKED IN?

NICE COUNTER THOUGH, BY THE

CHAMPION.

- STILL ON AUTOPILOT.

- COULD BE JORDAN BACK TO HER

FEET QUICKLY AND AGAIN, CHARGING

RIGHT BACK IN.

AND AGAIN.

CHOO OVERPOWERING.

LOOKING FOR A POWER BOMB.

- WOW.

- AND WENDY CHOO

COULD BE CLOSING

IN ON NXT CHAMPIONSHIP GOLD.

GOOD NIGHT.

SLEEPY TIME.

AND NO.

ANOTHER KICK OUT.

- WOW.

- AND NOW IT'S WENDY CHOO

- MOMENTUM

- SHOWING THAT

FRUSTRATION.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

MOMENTUM.

- ALL THE MOMENTUM HAS SHIFTED

TO WENDY CHOO RIGHT NOW.

VIC, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW

IF KELANI JORDAN HAVE ANY ANY

MORE THOUGHTS OF WHAT CAN SHE DO

IN A MATCHUP LIKE THIS?

- TRYING TO CLUTCH

HER OUT ONE MORE TIME.

WE'VE SEEN HER DO IT

SUCCESSFULLY.

THREE BUT LOOK AT KELANI

NEGOTIATING HER WAY FREE.

AND NOT ONLY THAT, FINDING A WAY

TO FINALLY ESCAPE THE CLUTCHES

OF CHOO.

- WINDOW JUST OPEN FOR KELANI

JORDAN RIGHT THERE AND SHE

STEPPED IN THERE REAL QUICK.

- SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO

STEP INTO A BOOK

SHE'S GOT TO KICK THAT DAMN

THING IN.

- OH, STILL ONE STEP AHEAD.

STILL ONE STEP AHEAD.

HERE WE GO.

SLEEPY PSYCHO.

GOING UP TOP.

- LOOKING FOR THAT EXCLAMATION

POINT.

KELANI TRYING TO BLOCK, TRYING

TO FIGHT, TRYING TO BREAK THIS

HOLD TO CHOO.

AND WAS SUCCESSFUL FOR A MOMENT.

BUT THE CHALLENGER RIGHT BACK IN

TIME AND RIGHT BACK UP.

OH RIGHT OFF.

AND BOTH WOMEN GO CRASHING DOWN.

FATIGUE MAYBE STARTING TO SETTLE

IN.

MAYBE THAT AIR WE'VE TALKED

ABOUT THAT THIN AIR AFFECTING

THESE ATHLETES.

- THEY DON'T CALL IT MILE HIGH.

THEY DON'T CALL IT MILE HIGH FOR

NOTHING, MAN.

- AND THE CLUTCH LOCKED IN ONE

MORE TIME.

KELANI FIGHTING.

KELANI TRYING TO GET TO THE

ROPES.

CAN SHE BREAK THE HOLD?

AND SHE'S BEING CLUTCHED OUT

CHOO SQUEEZING.

CHOO

LOOKING TO-

- OH, BABY.

OH, BABY.

- KELANI COULD BE OUT.

DOES KELANI HAVE ANYTHING LEFT?

SHE'S GOT TO EMPTY THE TANK.

NXT UNIVERSE WILLING ON THE

CHAMPION WHO STILL BOOKER TRYING

TO BREAK THAT HOLD.

- OH, LIKE I SAY RIGHT NOW,

SHE'S STILL RUNNING ON FUMES,

THOUGH.

VIC, HOW MUCH DOES KELANI JORDAN

HAVE LEFT IN THE TANK?

THAT'S THE QUESTION, MAN.

- ALL YOU NEED IS JUST A LITTLE

RIGHT, BOOKER?

YOU JUST GOT TO HAVE A LITTLE

BIT LEFT.

- KELANI'S

BEING PUSHED TO THE LIMIT

TONIGHT VIC.

FARTHEST WE'VE SEEN

HER GO RIGHT NOW.

- YOU SAID WE WERE GOING TO

LEARN A LOT ABOUT THE CHAMPION

WHO COMES RIGHT BACK IN WITH A

FLATLINER, BUT NOT MOVING AT

THAT NORMAL PACE.

- NOW, THIS IS MILE HIGH RIGHT

HERE.

IT AFFECTS YOU.

AND IF YOU HADN'T GOTTEN HERE A

LITTLE EARLY TO TRY TO COMBAT

THAT, IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING

TO HIT YOU SOONER OR LATER.

HERE WE GO.

WOW.

- ONE MORE TIME.

AND KELANI KNOWS IT'S GOING TO

TAKE A LITTLE EXTRA.

HERE TONIGHT.

WE SAW IT EARLIER.

SHE COULDN'T CONNECT, BUT

LOOKING FOR THAT SPLIT LEGGED,

ONE OF A KIND MOONSAULT.

IN JORDAN STANDS OUT.

ONE MORE TIME.

[BELL RINGS]

[KELANI JORDAN'S MUSIC]

- WOW.

- HERE IS YOUR WINNER.

AND STILL THE NXT WOMEN'S NORTH

AMERICAN CHAMPION.

KELANI JORDAN.

- YOU SAID SHE WAS GONNA SHOW

SOMETHING TONIGHT.

WE WERE GOING TO LEARN A LOT

ABOUT THE CHAMPION, AND WE

CERTAINLY DID BUT

WENDY CHOO BROUGHT IT OUT OF

THE CHAMPION.

- GIVE IT UP FOR WENDY CHOO VIC

GIVE IT UP.

WHAT A NIGHT.

WHAT A FIGHT.

- INTO THE COVER.

NEAR FALL.

AFTER NEAR FALL.

AND THIS WAS THE BEST

OPPORTUNITY FOR CHOO.

SO CLOSE TO CLUTCHING OUT KELANI

JORDAN.

BUT JORDAN SHOWED YOU THE HEART

THAT MADE HER A STANDOUT IN THE

BIG TEN AT MICHIGAN STATE.

NEVER MET A RISK SHE WASN'T

WILLING TO TAKE, AND SHE PULLED

OUT A LOT OF RISKS FROM THAT

PLAYBOOK HERE TONIGHT.

BUT THE HOME RUN CALL, THE ONE

THAT ALWAYS WORKS.

THAT ONE OF A KIND, SPLIT

LEGGED MOONSAULT

AS KELANI PROVES

NO ONE CAN DO IT

LIKE LANI AND WHOEVER STEPS

UP NEXT BETTER PROVE TO BE ONE

OF A KIND.

TATUM PAXLEY.

PAXLEY RETURNING THE FAVOR

TO CHOO

A STUNNED

SILENCE.

OH, BOOKER, YOU LIKE TO SAY

SLEEPY TIME?

TATUM PAXLEY MIGHT HAVE JUST

GIVEN THAT A

WHOLE NEW MEANING.

- FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T

CAUGHT UP TO THE HYPE YET, ALLOW

ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF.

MY NAME IS JAIDA PARKER.

- MISS PARKER IN THE HOUSE.

- JAIDA PARKER HAS CERTAINLY

MADE AN IMPRESSION VERY QUICKLY.

- I AM CONFIDENT, I AM COCKY, I

SAY WHAT'S ON MY MIND ALL THE

TIME, AND WHEN THAT MONEY IS IN

THE MIDDLE, JAIDA PARKER IS

ALWAYS ON POINT.

- AND JAIDA

PROVES SHE IS EVERYTHING SHE

SAYS SHE IS.

- BECAUSE MISS PARKER BRINGS A

PRESSURE AND NXT HAS NEVER FELT

BEFORE.

- SHE'S ALL IN

HER ELEMENT TONIGHT.

THIS IS A STREET FIGHT, MAN.

- PARKER NO

- MICHIN MESSED AROUND AND

FOUND OUT.

- THIS ERA OF NXT MAY BE RUNNING

THROUGH

MISS PARKER

- I AIN'T SCARED OF THE

SPOTLIGHT.

CAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THIS SINCE I

WAS A TEENAGER.

I'VE HAD D-1 SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS

BABY, I PLAYED AT LSU IN FRONT

OF THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF

FANS.

I WAS ON THE US 17 WOMEN'S

SO, NAH, I'M NOT A SOCCER PLAYER

THAT BECAME A WWE SUPERSTAR.

I AM A WWE SUPERSTAR WHO USED TO

- WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH UP.

STILL TO COME.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK

AROUND THE TAG TEAM DIVISION AND

THE NXT TAG TEAM TITLES.

THERE YOU SEE, WOLFGANG SPEAKING

ON BEHALF OF GALLUS HERE

TONIGHT, WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT

HANK AND TANK HAD TO SAY

EARLIER.

BUT SPEAKING OF EARLIER TONIGHT,

WE GOT TO GO BACK TO HOW WE

KICKED OFF THE EVENING WITH THE

NXT TAG TEAM TITLES WERE ON THE

LINE, AND I MEAN, THIS IS HARD

TO WATCH ONCE AGAIN.

IT WAS RIDGE HOLLAND TURNING HIS

BACK ON CHASE UNIVERSITY HERE

TONIGHT IN DENVER, ATTACKING HIS

FORMER.

NOW WE CALL HIM TEAMMATES AND

CLASSMATES, INCLUDING ANDRE

CHASE, THE MAN WHO GAVE HIM A

SECOND CHANCE HERE IN NXT.

RIDGE HOLLAND WOULD TAKE THINGS

TO ANOTHER LEVEL, REALLY

UNLEASHING HIS RAGE, WITH THEA

HAIL PLEADING FOR RIDGE HOLLAND

TO STOP.

AND FROM THERE WE.

WOULD SEE CHASE BE STRETCHERED

OUT OF THE BUILDING HERE IN

DENVER.

- WE'RE GOING IN AN AMBULANCE.

- LOADED INTO THE

AMBULANCE AND WE STILL HAVE NOT

RECEIVED ANY WORD ON ANDRE

CHASE, BUT WE HOPE TO HAVE AN

UPDATE ON ANDRE CHASE AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE.

[SIRENS]

- EXCUSE ME.

RIDGE.

RIDGE, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT

HAPPENED OUT THERE?

WHY DID YOU DO WHAT YOU DID TO

MR. CHASE?

[TONY D'ANGELO'S MUSIC]

[BELL RINGS]

- THE FOLLOWING CONTEST,

SCHEDULED

FOR ONE FALL, IS FOR THE NXT

NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP,

INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGER

ACCOMPANIED BY THE D'ANGELO

FAMILY.

THE DON OF THE NXT TONY

D'ANGELO.

- WELL HEADING INTO THIS MATCHUP

BOOK.

WHAT SORT OF PLAN DOES TONY

D'ANGELO HAVE TO HAVE COOKED UP

TO BECOME CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN IN

NXT?

- THINKING UP A MASTER PLAN.

AIN'T NOTHING BUT SWEAT INSIDE

MY HAND.

OH YES, HE'S GOING TO HAVE

TO HAVE A PLAN BECAUSE HE

GOING UP AGAINST THAT MAN OBA

FEMI.

AND THIS IS ABOUT TO GET NASTY,

DAWG.

OH, YES.

[OBA FEMI'S MUSIC]

- AND HIS OPPONENT.

HE IS THE NXT NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPION.

OBA FEMI.

- BOOK, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

THE AIRPORT TEST?

WHAT GRADE DO YOU GIVE, OBA?

- NO, BRO.

THAT'S INTIMIDATING RIGHT THERE.

JUST TO WATCH THIS MAN MAKE THAT

WALK.

OBA FEMI.

NO, FRIEND.

NO WATER, JUST MEAT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD.

- I GOT A CRAZY STAT FOR YOU.

BOOK THAT BEFORE WE START THIS

MATCH UP.

ARE YOU READY FOR IT?

- WHAT'S THAT?

GIVE IT TO ME.

- OBA FEMI HAS

ONLY HAD 21

THINK ABOUT THAT.

21 TELEVISED MATCHES IN NXT.

21 MATCHES.

THINK ABOUT HOW LONG, HOW

DOMINANT HE'S BEEN.

AS THE NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.

21 MAN.

WHERE WERE YOU AT 21 MATCHES

INTO YOUR CAREER?

- I WAS STILL A GREENHORN.

I HAD NO TITLES OR ANYTHING

LIKE THAT.

BUT THIS MAN SAID HE HAS NO

WEAKNESSES.

[BELL RINGS]

- WE WONDER

HOW FAR CAN OBA FEMI GO

- HAS THE FIRST TIME EVER THESE

TWO HAVE MET IN ANY SORT OF

MATCHUP.

AND YOU KNOW, WE SAW THE DON

OVERPOWER OBA FEMI A FEW WEEKS

AGO ON NXT.

DO SOME FORGET WHAT THE DON HAS

ACCOMPLISHED HERE IN NXT.

- I THINK SO.

I THINK SO.

YOU'RE LOOKING TO DON THE

HERITAGE CUP?

MAN, THAT WAS JUST AN APPETIZER.

I SAID IT.

THE DON WANTS MORE AND IT STARTS

RIGHT HERE TONIGHT WITH THE

NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

- YOU TALK ABOUT SOMEONE WHO

BEAT TOMMASO CIAMPA.

STAND AND DELIVER.

WON THE TURF WAR AGAINST SANTOS

ESCOBAR HAS WON TAG TEAM GOLD.

THE HERITAGE CUP THAT YOU JUST

TALKED ABOUT PUT THE FAMILY

TOGETHER, BUT NOW IT'S FACE TO

FACE.

AND LOOK AT THAT TAKEDOWN.

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN OUT

OBA FEMI.

THAT QUICK.

- THAT'S WHAT THE DON IS ALL

ABOUT.

HE'S GOING TO GO TOE TO TOE WITH

YOU.

IT'S ABOUT WHO'S THE LAST MAN

STANDING.

THAT'S GANGSTA BABY.

- OBA FEMI ANSWERING RIGHT BACK

AND TALK ABOUT THE DON.

TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED A FEW

WEEKS AGO.

HOW MUCH CREDIT DO YOU GIVE TO

DON FOR STANDING UP TO OBA FEMI?

BECAUSE NO ONE HAS EVER STOOD UP

TO OBA FEMI THE WAY TONY

D'ANGELO HAS.

- SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOT TO TAKE

THE RESPECT.

SOMEBODY IS NOT GOING TO GIVE IT

TO YOU LIKE OBA FEMI, BECAUSE HE

FEEL LIKE HE IS THE RULER OF

NXT.

YOU GOT TO GO OUT THERE AND

SHOW HIM WHO'S BOSS.

HERE WE GO.

- DETERMINATION IN THE EYES.

AND TONY D'ANGELO IS ROCKING OBA

FEMI RIGHT NOW.

HOISTED AND PLANTED OVER TWO

WEEKS AGO.

THE RING SHOOK.

AND WE CAN AGREE THAT NO ONE HAS

HANDLED OBA FEMI IN THAT WAY.

AND EARLY ON, A TRIPLE GERMAN

SUPLEX HE'S THROWING AROUND OBA

FEMI COMPARED TO WHAT WE'VE

SEEN.

- WOW.

TECHNIQUE COMING INTO PLAY FROM

OBA FEMI.

I DIDN'T SEE THAT RIGHT THERE.

- OH, AND OBA NOW RUNNING GAMES

MIGHT BE OVER FOR THE

CHALLENGER, FOR THE DON, FOR

TONY D'ANGELO IN THIS MATCHUP

WITH OBA FEMI.

- I LIKE ABOUT TONY.

HE'S GOING TO COME IN HERE AND

HE'S GOING TO GO TOE TO TOE.

HE'S NOT GOING TO TRY TO TAKE A

BACK DOOR, YOU KNOW, WAY IN OR

ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

HE'S GOING TO GO ONE ON ONE MANO

A MANO.

AND I LIKE THAT.

THE DON IS IN GREAT SHAPE TOO.

YOU GOT TO YOU GOT YOU GOT TO

LOOK AT HIS BODY.

LOOK AT HIS BODY VIC

- IT'S VERY TRUE.

WE SAW ONE TITLE CHANGE HANDS

ALREADY TONIGHT.

WILL WE SEE A SECOND AS TONY

D'ANGELO JUST GOT DROPPED BY OBA

FEMI.

- NO, NO, I

THINK HE CAUGHT A LOW BLOW

RIGHT THERE.

VIC.

- THAT'LL DROP ANY MAN, ANY

HUMAN AS WELL.

AND YOU TALK ABOUT IT WASN'T.

- IT WAS INADVERTENT.

- IT WAS

INADVERTENT.

IT'S A GREAT JOB BY THE OFFICIAL

TO LET THIS ONE CONTINUE.

AND YOU GOT TO WONDER WHEN IT

COMES TO BEING IMPARTIAL.

TRICK WILLIAMS A SPECIAL GUEST

REFEREE COMING UP LATER TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW, HE'S GOING TO CALL

THINGS RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.

- YOU THINK YOU THINK HE'S GOING

TO CALL IT DOWN?

- I REALLY DO BELIEVE SO.

- COME ON MAN.

DON'T BE DON'T BE NAIVE

- I REALLY DO.

- DON'T BE SO NAIVE PLEASE.

- AND RIGHT NOW BIG SUPLEX BY

OBA FEMI IN THE GAME MIGHT HAVE

CHANGED HERE IN THIS MATCHUP.

IS GOING INTO THE COVER AS OBA

FEMI AND DON ABLE TO KICK OUT.

AND I WANT TO GO BACK FOR A

MOMENT BECAUSE LOOK AT THE

LANDING RIGHT HERE.

HE STEPPED ON THE RIGHT FOOT OF

OBA FEMI AND TURNED THE ANKLE.

AND YOU THINK ABOUT A SPRAINED

ANKLE.

YOU THINK ABOUT A TURNED ANKLE

THAT SOMETIMES SIDELINES NFL

PLAYERS FOR 6 OR 7 WEEKS.

- WE DON'T KNOW HOW BAD IT IS.

WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A SPRAIN

OR IF IT'S A BREAK, BUT HE'S

GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT THROUGH

IT IF HE WANTS THAT TITLE.

- YOU GOT TO WONDER TOO, IF

UNDER THOSE BOOTS, MAYBE THE DON

HAS THAT ANKLE TAPE, WHICH MIGHT

HELP HIM A LITTLE BIT IN THIS

BUT ALSO IF IT'S NOT, HOW MUCH

POWER IS TONY D'ANGELO GOING TO

HAVE IN THIS MATCH?

WE TALK ABOUT THAT HUGE, UH, YOU

KNOW, TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN HE JUST

PLANTED OBA AND THE GERMAN

SUPLEX, AS WE'VE SEEN, HE MIGHT

NOT HAVE THAT LOWER BASE

ANYMORE.

IF THERE'S SOME SEVERE DAMAGE

DONE TO THAT ANKLE.

- GOT TO FIND OUT.

WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT REAL

QUICK HOW FAR HE CAN GO, BECAUSE

ADRENALINE IS ONLY GOING TO TAKE

HIM SO FAR BEFORE THAT PAIN SET

IN.

AND TRUST ME, OBA FEMI, HE'S NOT

GOING TO LET UP ANY.

HE'S GOING TO HE'S GOING TO KEEP

THE HAMMER DOWN.

OH, WOW.

OH, WOW.

- WORDS BECAUSE TONY D'ANGELO

POWERING THROUGH WHATEVER SORT

OF INJURY HE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE

RIGHT NOW IN THIS MATCHUP.

- STILL HARD TO GET UP TO HIS

FEET THOUGH VIC.

- YOU KNOW, MANY HAVE TRIED

TO SHOW OBA THAT HE WAS MORTAL,

BUT NO ONE HAS SUCCEEDED.

AND YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW

MAYBE WHY

THE POWER, THE PURE

DOMINANCE FROM OBA.

- THE THING ABOUT OBA FEMI

HE FIGHTS UP TO THE STRENGTHS OF

HIS OPPONENT.

VIC I MEAN, HE.

WHEREVER YOU GO, HE'S GOING TO

MATCH YOU.

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS

GUY.

OBA FEMI.

HE'S DIFFERENT.

- OBA FEMI DOMINATING NXT LIKE

HE DID THE S.E.C.

AND ALABAMA.

AND, YOU KNOW, COACH PRIME COULD

USE A FEW OBA FEMI ON THE

OFFENSIVE LINE AT COLORADO.

- YES, INDEED.

HERE WE GO.

HERE WE GO.

- WILL THIS BE

ENOUGH?

NO TONY IS NOT GOING TO GO DOWN

THAT EASY.

I THINK WE CAN AGREE WITH THAT,

TOO.

YOU DON'T BECOME THE DON.

JUST ROLLING OVER.

- NO NO NO NO.

OBA FEMI GAVE HIM RESPECT AND

CALLED HIM THE DON OF NXT, BUT

HE ALSO SAID ONE THING, VIC,

HE'S THE RULER.

THE RULER OF NXT.

THAT'S THAT'S A LITTLE

DIFFERENT.

- NOW, YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

VOICE OF WWE ON HIS WAY BACK

FROM GERMANY.

BASH IN BERLIN WAS YESTERDAY.

THAT BEING MICHAEL COLE HAS SAID

TIME AND TIME AGAIN HE SEES BIG

THINGS FOR OBA FEMI AND ONCE

AGAIN HERE TONIGHT.

OBA FEMI IS JUST DOMINANT.

- THINK ABOUT ABOUT OBA FEMI.

THAT CLOAK, THAT CLOAK OF

INVINCIBILITY.

- THIS.

- OH MY GOD MAN.

- MAKES YOU GLAD YOU'RE SITTING

NEXT TO ME FINALLY, DOESN'T IT?

- MAN, I

DON'T WANT NO PIECE OF THIS

RIGHT HERE.

CAN GO IN ANY ERA.

VIC, I MEAN, THE PAST, THE

PRESENT OR THE FUTURE.

THIS DUDE RIGHT HERE, HE IS, THE

NEXT BIG THING.

- AND JUST SHOWING THAT

DOMINANCE AGAIN.

OBA DECLARED HE DOESN'T SEEK

TONY'S ACCEPTANCE OR APPROVAL

FOR ANYTHING AS THE DON.

THESE TWO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO

ONE UP EACH OTHER, BUT WE BOTH

CAN AGREE THAT THIS MATCHUP

REALLY CHANGED FOR A MOMENT WHEN

TONY D'ANGELO ROLLED HIS ANKLE

EARLIER.

WHAT SORT OF PAIN NOW IS

D'ANGELO IN?

WHAT IS HE GOING TO BE ABLE TO

WITHSTAND AS THIS MATCHUP

CONTINUES AND THE DON TRIES TO

BRING THE NORTH AMERICAN TITLE

TO THE FAMILY.

- TRYING TO KEEP THE BIG MAN

CLOSE TO

- HOIST HIM UP.

OH, PAPA.

SHANGO S SHOULDER BREAKING.

- WOW.

- THE VOODOO HERE IN DENVER.

NOT ENOUGH.

D'ANGELO AGAIN ABLE TO KICK

OUT.

- UNSTOPPABLE.

THIS MAN.

CHECK THIS OUT VIC.

LOOK AT THE POWER.

- NOT JUST THE POWER BOOK

THINK ABOUT HOW QUICK TONY

D HAD A KICK UNDER THE JAW.

- I JUST DID VIC.

- AND THEN WHO PICKED HIM UP?

BAM.

- TONY D IS ABOUT 260 POUNDS AS

WELL.

COME ON MAN.

- D'ANGELO CONTINUING TO FIGHT.

AND WE'VE SEEN THE DON DO THIS

IN THE PAST.

THINK ABOUT STAND AND DELIVER

WHEN THE NXT TITLE WAS ON THE

LINE.

NOT STAYING DOWN TO SOMEONE LIKE

ILJA DRAGUNOV.

THE DON RIGHT BACK IN CENTER OF

THE RING.

AND IN THE WORDS OF BOOKER T,

HE'S THROWING SOME HANDS

- THERE RIGHT NOW TRYING TO GO

FOR A BELLY.

OH, NO.

GOT CAUGHT BY THE BIG MAN.

- NICE POWER.

WE CAN KEEP SAYING IT BECAUSE

IT'S SO TRUE WHEN IT COMES TO

OBA

HOW WISE IS THIS?

ON ONE LEG, TONY GOT CAUGHT BY

FEMI OBA TRYING TO HOIST UP THE

DON.

DON TRYING TO BLOCK THE BEST HE

CAN AND TONY UP

AND WHOA

THE FAMILY OUT

HERE TO OUR RIGHT

TRYING TO COACH UP.

- OH, HERE WE GO.

- TRYING TO HELP OUT.

- HERE WE GO.

WE'RE IN NO MAN'S LAND

RIGHT NOW, DAWG.

- YOU HEAR STACKS, THE

UNDERBOSS, YELLING TO D'ANGELO.

HE'S GOING TO NEED EVERYONE IN

THE FAMILY TO TRY TO TURN THINGS

AROUND.

AND HE JUST DID.

[YELLING]

- STACKS ADDING FUEL.

LUCA.

RIZZ FIRING UP.

TONY D'ANGELO AND LOOK

AT OBA FEMI.

HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU BOUNCE

BACK UP THAT QUICK?

- OH, HE'S THE GUY.

- UNBELIEVABLE.

THAT SHOT DIDN'T WORK.

WE SAW IT EARLIER.

OH, OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY.

THIS IS THE DON'S MOMENT.

- OH, MAN.

RIGHT THERE, DAWG.

OH, MAN.

BY TONY D'ANGELO.

LIKE I SAY, VIC, HE'S GOING TO

TAKE IT TO YOU.

HE'S GOING TO GO ONE ON ONE.

HE'S GOING TO BE ABOUT THE LAST

MAN STANDING HERE TONIGHT.

- TONY HAS TO BLOCK OUT THE

PAIN.

TONY'S GOT TO ADD FUEL AND RIGHT

BACK IN.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A MAN WHO'S

HURT.

IT'S LOOKED LIKE A MAN WHO'S

READY TO STAND TOE TO TOE WITH

THE RULER OF NXT.

IT'S THE DON OF NXT.

IT'S FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN

TITLE HERE AT NO MERCY.

- YOU GOTTA SLAY THE DRAGON,

CAN HE

SLAY THE BIG MAN?

CAN HE STOP OBA FEMI?

THAT'S THE

QUESTION VIC.

- BELLY TO BELLY.

AND AGAIN, THE DON TOSSING THE

RULER.

CAN HE FINALLY.

CAN HE DO IT?

- FISHERMAN.

- FORGET ABOUT IT.

OH

- WOW.

OBA JUST SLIPPED OUT THAT SIDE

DOOR RIGHT THERE VIC

AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

YOU SEE

STACKS

CHALLENGER.

CHALLENGER BACK ON HIS FEET AND

OH.

ANSWERED RIGHT BACK WITH A SHOT

UNDER THE JAW.

HERE COMES D'ANGELO.

AND IF THIS TURNS INTO A

SLUGFEST, YOU GOT.

POWERSLAM.

- YEAH.

TAKING IT TO THE STREET RIGHT

NOW AS TONY D'ANGELO

VIC

- HE CAN TAKE IT.

HE CAN GO BACK TO HIS

RESTAURANT IF HE WANTS, WHEREVER

HE'S TAKING IT, HE WANTS TO TAKE

BACK

THE NORTH AMERICAN

TITLE.

- HE'S GOT THAT SECOND WIND.

OH MY GOD.

- THINK ABOUT THE ANKLE.

THINK ABOUT THE LOWER BODY.

TONY, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

NO ONE HAS DONE

THIS TO THE RULER.

IS IT ENOUGH?

CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHUP.

GOING TO CONTINUE

- TAKE A

WHOLE LOT MORE THAN THAT TO KEEP

THE BIG MAN DOWN VIC

- YOU TALKED ABOUT THE.

WEIGHT OF TONY D'ANGELO.

ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF OBA FEMI

280.

285.

- OBA FEMI

300 POUNDS.

300 POUNDS.

- SIX FOOT, SIX INCH TALL.

HE'S A BIG MAN.

HE'S A GIANT.

WHOA WHOA WHOA.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME

WHERE THE HELL

DID HE GET A CROWBAR?

[YELLING]

OBA FEMI IS WIPING

OUT THE FAMILY, BUT IT OPENED

THE DOOR FOR THE DON.

THIS IS THAT MOMENT.

BOOK.

- YES, INDEED.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

- HERE WE GO.

OH MY GOD.

- INTENSITY.

- THAT IT?

THE DON

BAM.

- IS THAT THE MASTER PLAN?

THE PAIN.

HOISTING UP FEMI, ONE MORE TIME.

I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT WE ARE

SEEING OUT OF TONY D'ANGELO

TONIGHT.

AND ALSO OBA

FEMI.

OH.

MAN.

HOW FAR CAN HE GO, VIC?

HOW FAR CAN HE GO

FOLLOWING IT UP WITH THAT

MASSIVE.

OH.

HE WAS LOOKING FOR THAT

POWERBOMB.

OBVIOUSLY D'ANGELO

HAD IT SCOUTED.

BOTH MEN SPILLING UP AND OVER TO

THE OUTSIDE.

AND I MEAN THE THE FAMILY STILL

DOWN.

MUCH LIKE THE DON IS RIGHT NOW.

- OBA FEMI IS A MONSTER MAN.

HE'S TRULY A MONSTER

VIC.

OH MY GOD.

TRY AND TRY AGAIN.

OBA FEMI HE-

THE DON JUST KICKED OUT

OF OBA FEMI'S POWERBOMB.

- YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.

- NO ONE'S DONE THAT BEFORE.

I'M AT A LOSS FOR WORDS BOOK.

I JUST TOOK A LOOK AT SOME

MEMBERS OF THE NXT UNIVERSE.

THEY ARE JUST AS SHOCKED AS US.

- OBA SEEMS TO BE SEARCHING

RIGHT NOW.

SEEMS LIKE THE THE WHEELS ARE

TURNING IN HIS HEAD.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

WHAT'S NEXT?

- OBA FEMI.

WE SAID THIS EARLIER TONIGHT

WITH KELANI JORDAN GOING DEEP

INTO THAT PLAYBOOK.

WHAT PLAYS COULD OBA FEMI HAVE

LEFT?

THE DON RIGHT NOW

I JUST CAN'T GET OVER HOW TONY

D'ANGELO CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR

THAT FIGHT.

- HERE WE GO.

ONE MORE TIME.

- D'ANGELO.

THE COUNTER.

OH.

D'ANGELO JUST DOMINATED

- WOW.

- THE CHAMPION.

AND HE COULDN'T GET INTO THE

COVER.

- YEAH, BUT HE'S GOING TOE TO

TOE, MAN.

HE'S GOING TOE TO TOE.

- COULDN'T CRAWL INTO THE COVER.

OBA FEMI ON THE BACK FOOT.

[YELLING]

FAMILY RALLYING THE DON.

[YELLING]

NXT UNIVERSE ON THEIR FEET.

OH.

AND LIKE A MACHINE.

JUST CONTINUING TO PUSH.

CONTINUING TO

PERSEVERE.

- OH MY GOD.

OBA THOUGH

UH, I AIN'T DONE YET.

THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM.

BOOM.

SIT DOWN STYLE.

THE RULER DEFEATS THE DON.

[BELL RINGS]

[OBA FEMI'S MUSIC]

PUSHED TO THE DEEP WATERS

TONIGHT.

BY THE GUY WHO HIT THAT RIB

CRACKING, BONE SHATTERING SPEAR

WAS NOT ENOUGH.

OBA FEMI THE CHAMPION WAS ON

THE BACK FOOT, ABLE TO KICK OUT.

WE TALK ABOUT KICK OUTS.

BIG POWERBOMB FROM THE CHAMPION.

NO ONE HAS EVER DONE IT, BUT THE

CHALLENGER TONIGHT WAS ABLE TO

KICK OUT OF THE FIRST POWERBOMB.

SAME CANNOT BE SAID FOR THE

SECOND POWERBOMB, WHICH THEN THE

RULER OF NXT OBA FEMI KNEW HE

NEEDED A LITTLE EXTRA OOMPH.

AND DELIVERED A THIRD MASSIVE

POWERBOMB TONIGHT.

TO RETAIN THE NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPIONSHIP.

HE IS THE RULER OF NXT.

HE IS UNCONQUERABLE, DOMINATING

AND UNBEATEN NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPION.

LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR FROM HER

DEBUT TO HER BIG TITLE MATCH AND

CONFIDENT CHALLENGER.

YOU'VE GOT IT ALL.

EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.

YOU'RE NOT THE PRODIGY.

- AT NO MERCY.

I'M GONNA PROVE TO EVERYBODY

THAT SHE WAS NOTHING BUT HYPE.

- THERE'S NO ONE BETTER THAN ME.

- Y'ALL ALL SAW WHAT I ALREADY

ROXANNE IS A DECORATED

WOMEN'S CHAMPION, NO DOUBT.

BUT AFTER TONIGHT, BABY GIRL,

YOU CAN KEEP YOUR LITTLE

BECAUSE TONIGHT, JAIDA PARKER IS

MAN, LET'S GO.

[JAIDA PARKER'S MUSIC]

- WELL BOOK,

I WANT YOU TO

STEP OUT OF THE BOX FOR A

MOMENT.

I KNOW HOW CLOSE YOU ARE TO

ROXANNE PEREZ, BUT HOW IS JAIDA

PARKER DIFFERENT THAN THE REST

OF THE NAMES WE JUST HEARD FROM

PEREZ?

- YOU GOT TO

UNDERSTAND, JAIDA

PARKER HAS BEEN THIS THING TRULY

FOR JUST OVER A YEAR.

SHE'S GOT NATURAL TALENT VIC BUT

SHE'S STILL WORKING

ON THAT PLAYBOOK.

TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT

A WHOLE LOT ABOUT MISS PARKER.

IS SHE READY FOR THIS MOMENT

UNDER THE BRIGHT LIGHTS?

- GLAD YOU BROUGHT IT UP.

BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN LESS THAN A

YEAR SINCE SHE MADE HER NXT

IN-RING DEBUT, AND SHE TRAINED

WITH ROXANNE PEREZ ONCE SHE

ARRIVED.

AT THE PERFORMANCE CENTER.

[ROXANNE PEREZ MUSIC]

AND SAY THIS.

WHY DO SOME, INCLUDING THOSE

ONLINE, CONTINUE TO DOUBT HOW

GREAT THE PRODIGY IS?

I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD THOSE THAT

ARE ON PODCASTS AND EVERYTHING.

WHY DO THEY CONTINUE TO DOUBT

OUR CHAMPION?

- YOU KNOW, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE

INTERNET VIC.

I MEAN, IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW

GREAT AND HOW TALENTED ROXANNE

PEREZ TRULY IS FROM THE OUTSIDE

LOOKING IN.

BUT UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, I SEE

NOTHING BUT GREATNESS UP CLOSE

AND PERSONAL.

I SEE NOTHING BUT THE FINEST AS

FAR AS NXT GOES.

SHE'S LIKE THE WIND.

YOU CAN FEEL HER, BUT YOU CAN'T

TOUCH HER.

BUT YOU KNOW SHE'S THERE.

- ONLY ONE WOMAN, IYO SKY, HAS

COMPETED IN MORE PREMIUM LIVE

EVENTS IN NXT THAN ROXANNE

PEREZ.

[BELL RINGS]

- THE FOLLOWING CONTEST,

SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL, IS FOR

THE NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP.

INTRODUCING FIRST THE CHALLENGER

REPRESENTING OTM, JAIDA PARKER.

AND HER OPPONENT, SHE IS THE NXT

WOMEN'S CHAMPION.

ROXANNE PEREZ

- PEREZ SOAKING IN THE

SPOTLIGHT.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE

CHALLENGER, BUTTERFLIES HAVE TO

BE THE SIZE OF EAGLES.

BUT SHE HAS EARNED THIS

OPPORTUNITY NOT JUST BY WINNING

THE GAUNTLET SEVERAL WEEKS AGO,

BUT ALSO THIS YEAR.

11 AND ONE IS JAIDA PARKER.

SHE'S BEEN DOING IT IN THE RING,

SHOWING YOU HOW FAR SHE HAS COME

SINCE THAT IN-RING DEBUT.

AGAIN, LESS THAN 12 MONTHS AGO

NOW.

PREMIUM LIVE EVENT CHAMPIONSHIP.

MATCH

[BELL RINGS]

- UNDER THE BRIGHT LIGHTS.

YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT THOSE

BUTTERFLIES, BUT GETTING THOSE

BUTTERFLIES TO LINE UP AND FLY

STRAIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT JAIDA PARKER IS

GOING TO HAVE TO DO BECAUSE I'M

SURE SHE'S NERVOUS.

I'M SURE YOU CAN'T SEE IT ON THE

OUTSIDE, BUT ON THE INSIDE, I'M

SURE SHE'S FEELING JUST A LITTLE

BIT.

JUST A LITTLE BIT.

- JAIDA PARKER THINKS PEREZ IS

UNDERESTIMATING HER.

AND WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THE

CHALLENGER?

I MEAN, YOU SAW THE SITDOWN

INTERVIEW THIS PAST WEEK.

- YEAH, I WOULD THINK SO.

I THINK SHE UNDERESTIMATED

JUST A LITTLE BIT.

- THAT'S FAIR.

I MEAN, AGAIN, FOR EVERYTHING

THAT ROXANNE PEREZ HAS DONE,

QUICK COVER IN THE MATCHUP AND A

KICK OUT.

EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAS

ACCOMPLISHED THIS YEAR.

YOU TAKE A LOOK AT PARKER, WHO

DEFEATED FIVE OTHER WOMEN TWO

WEEKS AGO EARNED THIS NUMBER ONE

CONTENDER OPPORTUNITY.

BUT WHAT SORT OF EMOTIONS WILL

THE STOIC CHALLENGER BE FACING

INTERNALLY IN THIS MATCHUP?

- OF COURSE

SHE'S GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH

A WHOLE LOT INTERNALLY, BUT

BECAUSE SHE'S IN THERE WITH

ROXANNE PEREZ, SOMEBODY WHO'S

VERY DECORATED, SHE'S A PRIZE

FIGHTER.

AND THAT SLAP, THAT SLAP, DON'T

THINK ROXANNE PEREZ IS NOT

THINKING ABOUT IT.

- EARLY ON, WE SEE THIS OFFENSE

AND A NICE COUNTER BY THE

PRODIGY.

- , YEAH.

- AGAIN, THINGS GOT INTENSE

BETWEEN THESE TWO THIS PAST

TUESDAY.

THE CHALLENGER SHOCKED THE

CHAMPION WITH A SLAP THAT WAS

REALLY FELT BY THE ENTIRE LOCKER

ROOM.

IT REALLY MAYBE HAS SET THE TONE

FOR THE WEEK, FOR THE CHAMPION

AND MAYBE FOR THE CHALLENGER.

THE CHALLENGER.

NICE TAKEDOWN AND ANSWERING

RIGHT BACK.

AND LOOK JAIDA PARKER.

SHE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED.

- SHE WON'T BE INTIMIDATED.

OH MY GOD.

- OH WE TALKED ABOUT IT.

- OH MY GOD.

- HOW ABOUT THAT

SLAP?

UH OH.

YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT

GOING TO THE STREETS?

- YOU JUST PAYBACK VIC.

THAT WAS JUST A LITTLE PAYBACK.

- PARKER NOW TALKING, WALKING,

SLAPPING AND DROPPING THE

CHAMPION.

AND THIS MIGHT NOW HAVE JUST

GOTTEN INTO THE WHEELHOUSE

OF JAIDA PARKER AND YES, THIS

MATCH HAS GONE ON.

I'VE LOOKED UP AND I SEE THE

TAPE THAT IS ON THE RIGHT RIBS

OF JAIDA PARKER.

WHAT SORT OF.

WHERE IS SHE PHYSICALLY?

I'M SURE SHE'LL BE ABLE TO BLOCK

OUT THAT PAIN TO PUT GOLD AROUND

HER WAIST.

- THIS IS A BIG MATCH AND WE'VE

SEEN THIS BEFORE.

ROXANNE PEREZ IS IN THE DROP

ZONE.

OH, BEAUTIFUL.

- PEREZ KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS

COMING.

OF COURSE, DUE TO THE GAME THAT

YOU TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL TIMES.

HAD THE CHALLENGERS SCOUTED

RIGHT NOW

COULD BE BAITING IN JAIDA PARKER

PEREZ PICKING UP SOME STEAM.

HOPPING RIGHT OVER

PARKER.

PARKER BACK TO HER FEET, SWINGS

WILDLY WITH A CLOTHESLINE.

PRODIGY COMING IN AND JUST GOT

PLANTED BY PARKER.

- ONE THING THAT

WORRIES ME IN THIS MATCHUP FOR

ROXANNE PEREZ IS THE POWER OF

JAIDA PARKER.

OH, NASTY THAT SHE WORKS WITH.

OH MY GOD

- A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK

SUPLEX ON DISPLAY.

BUT LOOK AT PARKER.

PARKER WAS OFFENSIVE RIGHT

THERE, BUT WENT RIGHT TO THOSE

RIBS WE TALKED ABOUT.

SECOND TO GO.

AND YOU KNOW PEREZ HAD TO HAVE

SEEN WHAT WE'RE SEEING TOO,

RIGHT?

- YEAH.

SHE JUST BAITED HER IN RIGHT

THERE.

THAT'S THE SMARTS OF THE YOUNG

LADY ROXANNE PEREZ THE PRODIGY.

NOW SHE'S ON THE MOVE.

VIC, HERE WE GO.

- AND LOOKING TO FLY, BUT GOT

CAUGHT.

TALK ABOUT BLOCKING OUT THAT

PAIN.

JAIDA PARKER SAID KEEP YOUR

NICKNAME.

CAUSE I CAME TO DENVER.

I CAME TO NO MERCY TO

DO ONE THING.

TAKE YOUR TITLE.

- TALK ABOUT THIS.

THE STRENGTH OF JAIDA PARKER.

- YOU CAN STILL TALK ABOUT IT,

BUT.

OH, AND I THINK THE POINT OF THE

STEEL STEPS JUST CAUGHT THE

DAMAGED RIBS.

THE INJURED AREA ON JAIDA

PARKER.

AND IF IT DIDN'T BEFORE, IT

CERTAINLY DID NOW.

- ROXANNE PEREZ IS

LITERALLY OPERATING ON ANOTHER

LEVEL RIGHT NOW VIC

- AND WE'VE

SEEN JAIDA BACK UP HER TALK.

WE'VE SEEN IT IN A STREET FIGHT

WITH MICHIN.

BUT THIS IS A PREMIUM LIVE

EVENT.

THIS IS ROXANNE PEREZ.

THIS IS THE NXT WOMEN'S

CHAMPIONSHIP, AND I KNOW JAIDA

PARKER IS A DRIVEN COMPETITOR,

BUT YOU CAN ALSO SAY ROXANNE

PEREZ IS JUST AS DRIVEN.

AND NOW WITH A FOOT IN THE BACK

OF THE SPINE, THE ARMS DON'T

BEND THAT FAR BACK BOOK OH MY

GOD.

THIS ISN'T THAT

BUBBLY ROXANNE PEREZ YOU KNEW

IN HOUSTON, TEXAS.

- THIS IS BEAUTIFUL WORK, VIC.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THE CONTROL OF

ROXANNE PEREZ.

LETTING THE REFEREE DO HIS JOB

RIGHT THERE.

TAKING HER TIME.

SHE'LL TAKE THE WIN BY COUNT

OUT.

I LOVE THIS.

- SHE WILL ALSO BACK UP

EVERYTHING SHE SAYS.

SHE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO

KEEP THE NXT WOMEN'S

CHAMPIONSHIP.

THERE'S NOTHING ROXANNE PEREZ

WON'T DO TO KEEP THAT GOLD

AROUND HER WAIST.

THE YOUNGEST TWO TIME NXT

WOMEN'S CHAMPION.

THIRD WOMAN TO EVER HOLD THAT

TITLE MORE THAN ONCE.

WE SAW THE ACCOLADES EARLIER AND

RIGHT NOW SHE'S PUTTING IT ALL

ON DISPLAY.

- OH MSN

RIGHT NOW YOU TALK ABOUT ROXANNE

PEREZ FLIPPING THE SWITCH.

AND RIGHT NOW.

OH.

- AND RIGHT BACK

TO THE GUT

RIGHT BACK TO THE RIBS.

INTO THE COVER.

TITLE ON THE LINE.

JAIDA PARKER IS NOT GOING TO

GO DOWN LIKE THAT TONIGHT.

JUST TOOK A BIG GASP OF AIR TO

GET SOME AIR IN THE LUNGS.

AFTER WHAT

WE'VE SEEN THE DAMAGE BEING

DONE.

THE NXT UNIVERSE IS SPLIT.

[CROWD CHANTS]

DENVER BECOMING UNGLUED.

THIS IS WHY NXT HAS GOT THE BEST

WOMEN'S DIVISION IN ALL OF

PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING.

- PEREZ IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL.

LIKE I SAY RIGHT NOW, THEY KEEP

LINING THEM UP AND ROXANNE PEREZ

JUST KEEP KNOCKING THEM DOWN.

VIC

- PARKER NOW TRYING TO SWING

- THAT GOOD MAN.

- PARKER NOW TRYING TO SWING

WILDLY JUST TRYING TO CONNECT.

YOU GOT TO KNOW SHE'S FIGHTING

THROUGH THE PAIN CREPT INTO THE

COVER TITLE ON THE LINE, AND

ALMOST THAT SLIP BROUGHT GOLD TO

MISS PARKER.

AND A DROP KICK RIGHT BACK TO

THE GUT BULLSEYE ON THE BODY OF

THE CHALLENGER.

- YOU CAN TELL MISS PARKER HAS

RUN OUT OF IDEAS RIGHT NOW.

JUST TRIED TO STEAL ONE FROM

ROXANNE PEREZ VIC.

- AND AGAIN INTO THE STEEL.

THAT COLD, UNFORGIVING STEEL

POST.

PEREZ CONTINUING TO APPLY THE

PRESSURE.

- IT'S ALL LEGAL, THAT'S ALL

LEGAL

- IT IS NOT LEGAL.

THE OFFICIAL GOT FIVE SECONDS,

MAN.

YOU GOT FIVE SECONDS RIGHT

THERE.

THAT'S THAT'S ALL

COME ON, MAN,

COME ON I AM, I

AM.

- REFEREE STEPPING IN THIS

MATCHUP WILL CONTINUE TO YOUR

POINT.

SHE DID NOT CROSS THE FIVE BUT

INTO THE COVER.

AND A KICK OUT BY JAIDA PARKER

THE LIST OF NAMES WHO HAVE TRIED

BUT FAILED TO DETHRONE PEREZ.

BREAKOUT TOURNAMENT WINNER LOLA

VICE, ROSE,

LYRA VALKYRIA.

THEA HAIL TATUM PAXLEY.

JORDYNNE GRACE CHELSEA GREEN.

AND RIGHT NOW SHE IS PUNISHING

PARKER.

- SHE KNOWS THE RULES.

SHE'S CALLED.

IT'S CALLED BENDING THE RULES,

VIC.

BUT NOT BREAKING

THEM.

JUST COMING TO THE LINE, BUT NOT

CROSSING IT.

THAT'S WHAT ROXANNE PEREZ.

SHE'S SMART MAN.

- IT IS ALL ABOUT THE

NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP ON

THE LINE HERE AT NO MERCY.

IT HAS BEEN ALL ROXANNE PEREZ

FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MINUTES,

BUT NOW A LOOK OF DETERMINATION

ON THE FACE, BUT PINPOINT

PRECISION FROM ROXANNE PEREZ TO

PARKER'S RIBS.

- WHAT ABOUT THOSE RIBS?

AND THE DOMINANT STRETCH RIGHT

THERE.

SHE'S LOCKED IT IN.

AND ROXANNE PEREZ HAS LOCKED IT.

SHE MAY TAP.

JAIDA PARKER MAY TAP.

- LOOK AT THE WELTS STARTING TO

FORM ON THAT ALREADY DAMAGED

BODY PART.

THE RIBS, THE STOMACH, THE BACK.

- BIG SHOT.

- AND AGAIN, THE NXT UNIVERSE

RIGHT NOW TRYING TO RALLY.

JAIDA PARKER PEREZ FIRING BACK.

AND IT WAS PEREZ WHO GAVE PARKER

CREDIT DURING HER MEDIA THIS

WEEK, BUT SAID IT'S NOT HER TIME

YET.

PARKER, LOOKING TO PROVE HER

WRONG WITH ANOTHER RIGHT HAND

UNDER THE JAW.

PARKER STILL STANDING, BUT PEREZ

RIGHT BACK TO THE BODY.

- WANT TO GET INTO A FIGHT

I DON'T THINK WITH MISS PARKER

BECAUSE, LIKE I SAY, SHE'S GOT

THE STRENGTH ADVANTAGE.

BUT ROXANNE PEREZ IS SO SMART.

- BUT IF YOU'RE NOT AT 100

PERCENT BOOK, WHAT IS THE

STRENGTH ADVANTAGE HAVE TO DO

IF SHE HURT RIGHT SIDE OF HER

BODY SHE CAN'T USE, SHE REALLY

ONLY HAS THE LEFT SIDE OF HER

POWER AND PEREZ TRYING TO MAKE

THAT POWER EVEN WEAKER

RIGHT NOW.

- PARKER IS THE ONE WHO SAID SHE

HAD NEXT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

- OH, AND PAYBACK PARKER.

AND NOW MOCKING THE CHALLENGER

- HIGH STEP RAMBLING TIGERS.

I LOVE IT, MAN.

- SAID EVERYONE HAS THE SAME

STORY.

WHEN THEY CHALLENGE HER

IT ENDS THE SAME WAY.

DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE

OPPOSITION.

PEREZ STILL TALKING SMACK.

I DON'T KNOW.

IS ROXANNE PEREZ MAYBE ENJOYING

PUNISHING MISS PARKER

PARKER WITH A CATCH.

PEREZ PLEADING HER CASE.

BUT MAYBE MISS PARKER HAS GOT

HER SECOND.

MAYBE HER THIRD WIN.

AND TRYING TO HOIST UP WHATEVER

POWER SHE'S GOT LEFT.

- OH, NO.

COME ON.

- FOR THE TITLE.

OH.

NEAR FALL ON THE CHAMPION.

AT THIS JUNCTURE IN THE GAME,

THOUGH.

MAYBE EMPTYING THAT TANK RIGHT

THERE IN THAT MOMENT.

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE NOW FOR

PARKER TO BEAT PEREZ?

EVERYTHING WE'VE SEEN TONIGHT

BOOK UP TO THIS MOMENT AS THE

NXT UNIVERSE ON THEIR FEET,

CHANTING FOR THESE TWO.

[CROWD CHANTS]

- MISS PARKER STILL CLUTCHING AT

THAT RIB, THOUGH

VIC.

AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT

NOW THE RIB INJURY.

THIS ONE IS HARD TO GET OVER

BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST A RIB.

IT'S THE CARTILAGE.

OH, BIG SHOTS

- TRYING TO DAMAGE THE RIBS OF

THE CHAMPION.

PEREZ RIGHT BACK INTO IT.

SHE SAID SHE'S GOT NEXT.

SHE MAY JUST.

WHAT'S ON THE MIND OF THE

CHALLENGER?

OH

- BIG SHOT RIGHT TO THE

RIBS.

- TELEGRAPHED IT A LITTLE BIT

TOO MUCH.

PARKER, THOUGH

SPINE BUSTER.

FALLING INTO THE COVER.

AND AGAIN.

- THAT WAS

SO CLOSE.

- ANOTHER NEAR FALL IN THIS

MATCH.

AND YOU GOT TO WONDER WHAT'S

GOING THROUGH THE MIND RIGHT.

NOW OF THE CHALLENGER.

- I DON'T THINK IT'S THE

RIBS NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT

ENOUGH PRESSURE ON THAT COVER

RIGHT THERE.

- FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH.

FIRST TIME.

EXCUSE ME.

FOR THE NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

IN A ONE ON ONE FOR JAIDA

PARKER.

SHE'S EARNED THIS OPPORTUNITY.

TRYING TO MAKE THE MOST.

BUT SHE'S NOT IN THERE WITH

SOMEONE WHO'S JUST AN EVERYDAY

SUPERSTAR.

SHE'S IN THERE RIGHT NOW WITH

THE MEASURING STICK OF NXT.

- SHE'S TRULY THE BEST RIGHT

NOW VIC

- AND PARKER CAUGHT PEREZ.

PARKER NOW LOOKING TO PLANT

PEREZ.

AND AGAIN.

- OH MAN

- RIGHT INTO THAT LOWER

BACK.

THIS DIDN'T WORK EARLIER.

WILL THE SECOND TIME PAY OFF?

OH.

YOU CAN HEAR THAT ONE BACK IN

ORLANDO.

MISS PARKER.

OH.

WHAT'S SHE DOING NOW?

OH, YOU SAID IT EARLIER.

YOU GOTTA RISK IT ALL TO GET

IT ALL.

SHE'S LOOKING FOR A TOP ROPE

TEARDROP.

FOR THE TITLE.

ANOTHER NEAR FALL.

AND NOW BOOM.

YOU GOT TO WONDER

ROXANNE PEREZ THE MENTALITY OF

THE CHAMPION.

SHE HAS BEEN IN THIS POSITION

BEFORE.

- SO MUCH SUPPORT FOR THE

CHALLENGER HERE TONIGHT TOO VC

- AGAIN THE RIBS.

PARKER'S BODY JUST CRUMBLED.

YOU TALKED ABOUT.

WHAT DID YOU SAY EARLIER?

IT'S NOT JUST THE RIBS.

IT'S THE TISSUE.

- THE CARTILAGE, MAN.

THE CARTILAGE.

IT TOOK ME ABOUT A YEAR

TO GET OVER THAT INJURY.

- PEREZ NOW TAKING THAT LITTLE

BIT OF OPPORTUNITY, SAW THAT

DOOR OPEN TRYING TO KICK IT IN,

LOOKING FOR THAT CROSSFACE.

COULDN'T GET IT ONCE.

TRYING TO ROLL THROUGH.

TRYING TO GET THAT RUSSIAN LEG

SWEEP.

PARKER COUNTERED.

PARKER TRYING TO REVERSE.

AND SHE CERTAINLY DID.

- WOW.

- THIS COULD BE PARKER'S GOLDEN

MOMENT.

YOU KNOW, OTM IS LOOKING ON.

SHE'S LOOKING FOR THAT

NO

SHOULDERS DOWN.

SHOULDER DOWN.

- THAT'S SO CRAFTY.

WOW.

- INTO THE CROSSFACE NOW.

THAT'S WHAT A TRANSITION.

AND REMEMBER OH

ALMOST INTO THE RINGS OF SATURN

GOT HER ELBOWS INTO THAT INJURED

RIBS INTO THAT INJURED

MIDSECTION.

- LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

- PARKER

IS SHE GOING TO TAP THE TAP?

[CROSSTALK]

- TRYING TO FIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT

MISS PARKER RIGHT NOW, IN THIS

MOMENT.

- THE STRENGTH OF MISS PARKER,

VIC.

- THE DETERMINATION OH MY THE

STRENGTH.

OH MY THE DETERMINATION.

IS SHE THE ONE?

MISS PARKER, IS TONIGHT YOUR

TIME?

IT VERY WELL COULD BE ROXANNE

PEREZ REALIZE RIGHT NOW.

SHE'S NOT IN THERE WITH ANYBODY.

SHE'S NEVER BEEN IN THERE WITH

SOMEBODY THAT'S LIKE

BUT, MISS PARKER.

YOU GOT TO GIVE HER CREDIT.

SHE'S SHOOTING HER SHOT.

SHE'S GOING FOR IT ALL.

SHE'S GOING FOR BROKE,

- BUT GOT CAUGHT

IN A BAD POSITION.

COULD THIS BE IT?

OH MY GOD.

SO CLOSE.

- BIG KICK.

AND WE KNOW WHAT WE SEE FOLLOWED

UP.

POP ROCKS DIDN'T CONNECT.

PARKER

NOW THIS IS IT.

- OH, BAD.

OH.

- BUT OH

PEREZ

RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US.

THE MOMENTUM.

BOOK YOU GOT TO THINK, IF THAT

WAS MAYBE ANOTHER SIX INCHES TO

THE LEFT OF THE CENTER OF THE

RING.

WE MIGHT HAVE A NEW CHAMPION

- THE INEXPERIENCE OF OF

JAIDA PARKER OR ANYTHING LIKE

THAT.

BUT SHE JUST CAUGHT UP IN THE

MOMENT AND WANTED TO LAND THAT

BIG SHOT.

OH.

[YELLING]

- THAT MIGHT BE

THE MOMENT OF THE MATCH.

[CROWD CHANTS]

- PEREZ JUST SAW HER

CHAMPIONSHIP FLASH

BEFORE HER EYES.

POP ROCKS RIGHT OUT HERE ON THAT

BARRICADE.

THAT'S NOT A TABLE, BOOKER.

THAT'S NOT A CHAIR.

THAT IS THE BARRICADE.

[YELLING]

THAT THEY JUST WENT CRASHING

THROUGH.

AND BY THAT,

JAIDA PARKER WENT THROUGH

AND ON THAT BARRICADE, NOT ONCE,

BUT TWICE.

HOW THE HELL IS SHE MOVING?

THE REFEREE'S UP TO FIVE.

IF HE GETS TO TEN, THE TITLE

STAYS WITH THE CHAMPION.

PARKER'S GOT TO GET BACK INTO

THE RING.

THE ONLY WAY SHE CAN WIN THE

TITLE IS INSIDE THE SQUARED

CIRCLE.

- WHOA.

MAN.

- BROKE THE COUNT.

- WOW.

- THIS MATCH CONTINUES.

BUT MAYBE NOT FOR LONG.

POP ROCKS AGAIN, AND PEREZ

REIGN

CONTINUES AS CHAMPION.

[BELL RINGS]

[ROXANNE PEREZ MUSIC]

- HERE IS YOUR WINNER.

AND STILL THE NXT WOMEN'S

CHAMPION.

ROXANNE PEREZ.

- I GOTTA GIVE IT TO YOU, BOOK.

SHE FINDS A WAY TO GET THE JOB

DONE, BUT TAKE NOTHING AWAY FROM

JAIDA PARKER HERE TONIGHT.

WHO WENT FOR BROKE AND THEN

BROKE THE BARRICADE

PEREZ, THE VETERAN.

USED IT TO HER ADVANTAGE.

YOU SAID IT EARLIER.

SHE DIDN'T BREAK ANY RULES.

SHE USED THE ENVIRONMENT TO HER

ADVANTAGE.

SHE GOT BACK INTO THE RING TO

HIT A SECOND POP ROCKS, BUT

JAIDA PARKER PROVED SHE BELONG

HERE IN NXT

THEY CAME TOGETHER FOR A GOOD TO

BECOME CHAMPIONS, TO START

TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

RECORD IN VARIOUS TAG TEAM

THEY'RE 11 AND 6, BUT THEY

HAVE BEEN VERY IMPRESSIVE OVER

DISADVANTAGE

THE SAME TIME AS HOLLAND BACK
