WELCOME IN RINGSIDE, VIC JOSEPH

ALONGSIDE THE TWO-TIME WWE HALL

OF FAMER BOOKER T.

>> IT TOLD ME A WHOLE LOT ABOUT

HER, SO I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD.

[LYRA VALKYRIA'S MUSIC PLAYS]

>> NEXT LYRA VALKYRIA.

>> ONE NAME YOU LEFT OFF WAS

LYRA VALKYRIA-

>> YES.

>> -WHO HAS BEEN CLOSE TO GOLD

IN THE PAST.

IS SHE SOMEONE WHO'S BEING

OVERLOOKED HERE TODAY?

>> LOOK HERE, LYRA MADE HER

DEBUT BACK IN DECEMBER AND SHE'S

MOVING UP THE LADDER QUICK.

NO PUN INTENDED, BUT TONIGHT

COULD BE A MOMENT.

A MOMENT THAT WILL LAST FOREVER.

>> THERE WE SEE ZOEY STARK, OF

COURSE, WHO GREW UP IN THE AREA.

FIRST TIME SHE EVER ATTENDED A

LIVE EVENT THE WWE WAS IN THIS

BUILDING.

INDI HARTWELL HAS BEEN LOOKING

TO CLAIM GOLD.

GIGI DOLIN, WE KNOW THAT STORY.

SHE TALKED ABOUT BEING AN

UNFINISHED PAINTING.

CAN SHE FINISH HER OWN

INDIVIDUAL STORY HERE TONIGHT?

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE WOMEN'S

DIVISION, YOU THINK ABOUT THE

PRODIGY.

>> THEIR OPPONENT, SHE IS THE

NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION, ROXANNE

PEREZ.

>> SHE'S BEEN CLEARED BY

MEDICAL.

>> YES.

>> SHE WAS OKAYED TO BE IN THIS

MATCHUP BY SHAWN MICHAELS.

YOU HAVE KNOWN HER LONGER THAN

ANYONE.

WAS IT WISE FOR ROXANNE PEREZ TO

WANT TO BE IN THIS MATCHUP?

EVERYTHING THAT'S GONE ON OVER

THE LAST MONTH?

>> I'M SO EXCITED, VIC, I'M SO

EXCITED FOR THIS YOUNG LADY.

BECAUSE SHE COULD HAVE SAT ON

THE SIDELINE, SHE COULD HAVE

FOUGHT ANOTHER DAY, BUT SHE

WANTS TO OUT THERE AND PROVE

THAT SHE IS TRULY THE BEST IN

THIS BUSINESS AT 21 YEARS OLD.

I GIVE HER A WHOLE LOT OF CREDIT

FOR STEPPING INSIDE THIS SQUARE

CIRCLE WITH THESE LADIES

TONIGHT.

>> ALL SIX, I JUST PEEKED UP

FROM THE MONITOR, ALL STARING AT

THE NXT WOMEN'S TITLE, WHICH IS

VERY HIGH ABOVE THE RING.

[BELL RINGS]

>> THE REALITY IS STARTING TO

SET IN FOR THESE SIX, AND RIGHT

NOW, RIGHT OFF THE BAT, WE SEE

SOME GOING TO THE OUTSIDE.

THERE'S A LOT OF STRATEGY AT

PLAY IN THIS SORT OF MATCHUP.

>> NO, VIC, THERE'S NO STRATEGY.

>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NO

STRATEGY?

>> NO, NO.

IT'S GOING TO BE BEING IN THE

RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

WHO'S GOING TO HAVE THE

INTENTIONAL FORTITUDE?

THE WILL TO LAST IN THIS MATCHUP

TONIGHT.

>> WELL, THERE'S INDI HARTWELL,

AND INDI HARTWELL SAID THIS IS

ABOUT HER LIFE'S WORK.

SHE DEDICATED HER LIFE FOR THIS

MOMENT, FOR THIS SPOTLIGHT.

MOVED ALL THE WAY TO AMERICA

FROM AUSTRALIA AFTER TURNING

JUST 22 YEARS OLD.

>> INDI HARTWELL IS SO LUCKY TO

HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

SHE NEEDS TO CASH IN ON IT

BECAUSE THIS COULD MESS WITH THE

PSYCHE, NOT GETTING A BIG

VICTORY LIKE THIS TONIGHT AT

STAND & DELIVER.

>> ALSO ZOEY STARK LOOKING TO

CASH-IN AS WELL, BUT FOR ROXANNE

PEREZ, IT'S ALL ABOUT DEFENDING

HER CHAMPIONSHIP.

SHE WAS CLOSE TO NOT BEING ABLE

TO EVEN DO THAT HERE IN LOS

ANGELES.

>> THERE'S THAT PROGIDY RIGHT

THERE, VIC.

THAT SPECIAL TALENT THAT'S

EXTRAORDINARY.

LET'S SEE IF SHE COULD PULL IT

OFF HERE.

>> PEREZ SAID SHE WOULD DO

ANYTHING, NOTHING WOULD STOP HER

THAT IS TO BE HERE AND COMPETE

FOR THE NXT UNIVERSE ON THIS

SORT OF STAGE, WRESTLEMANIA

SATURDAY.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT ALL

THESE WOMEN ARE FIGHTING FOR,

THAT NXT WOMEN'S TITLE, LOOK NO

FURTHER THAN WHAT'S GOING TO

HAPPEN LATER TODAY AT SOFI

STADIUM.

CHARLOTTE FLAIR, RHEA RIPLEY FOR

THE SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S TITLE.

>> OH, YES.

>> BOTH A PAIR OF FORMER NXT

WOMEN'S CHAMPIONS IN THEIR OWN

RIGHTS.

>> JUST GOING TO SHOW YOU THE

MAGNITUDE OF THIS MATCHUP.

ONE OF THESE LADIES WANT TO BE

IN THAT POSITION ONE DAY AND

THAT DAY COULD COME REALLY,

REALLY SOON, VIC.

>> I GOT TO SAY, BOOK, ROXANNE

PEREZ FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS

COMING INTO THIS MATCHUP, SHE'S

BEEN ON A ROLL.

>> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

>> SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN WIPED

OUT, AND NOW IT'S DOLIN AND

STRATTON, AND YOU TAKE A LOOK

AROUND, NO LADDERS YET HAVE MADE

THEIR WAY INTO THE RING.

AGAIN, IT GOES BACK TO STRATEGY

IN THIS MATCHUP OF-

>> YOU'RE STILL TALKING

STRATEGY,

VIC.

>> I'M TALKING ABOUT THE

STRATEGY OF SOME IN THIS MATCH.

>> IT'S NOT GOING TO COME DOWN

TO STRATEGY AT THE END OF THE

NIGHT, VIC.

IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO WILL,

HEART AND DETERMINATION.

SOMETHING THAT I THINK GIGI

DOLIN HAS.

>> DOLIN SAID SHE'S READY TO PUT

HER TOXIC PAST BEHIND HER.

SHE'S TAKEN STEPS TO DO THAT.

IS SHE THE ONE TO TAKE THE

LADDER AND GO STEP BY STEP TO

THE NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP?

>> GIGI KNOWS ABOUT LIFE

STRUGGLES, VIC.

ONE THING ABOUT COMING UP THAT

WAY, YOU DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT,

BUT YOU DON'T MISS WHAT YOU

NEVER HAD UNTIL YOU GET IT.

OH, HERE WE GO.

>> WELL, TALKING ABOUT GETTING

IT, LOOK AT TIFFANY STRATTON

PUTTING IN THE WORK.

WHOA.

>> OH, WOW.

>> ZOEY STARK TRYING TO ANSWER

RIGHT BACK.

ZOEY STARK STRONGLY BELIEVES SHE

HAS BEEN AT THE TOP OF THIS

WOMEN'S DIVISION.

>> OH, WOW.

INDI HARTWELL SAID I WANT A

PIECE OF THE ACTION, A LITTLE OF

THIS CHAMPAGNE WISHES AND CAVIAR

DREAMS.

LET ME GET A PIECE, BUT BACK TO

ZOEY, MAN.

ZOEY FEEL LIKE SHE'S PAYING HER

DUES, VIC.

SHE FEEL LIKE SHE'S PUT IN THE

WORK.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> WHOOP.

TALK ABOUT PUTTING IN THE WORK.

HARTWELL DOING THAT RIGHT NOW.

LOOKING AROUND, LOOK UP.

>> OH, WOW.

VALKYRIA IN THE RIGHT PLACE,

LIKE I SAID, VIC, AT THE RIGHT

TIME.

>> BIGGEST STAGE VALKYRIA HAS

EVER COMPETED ON.

[CROWD CHANTS "NXT"]

>> YOU HEAR THE NXT UNIVERSE

HERE TONIGHT ON THEIR FEET.

NOW A LITTLE BIT OF A STRUGGLE

BETWEEN THESE TWO.

>> ROXANNE TRIED TO TAKE

ADVANTAGE OF THAT LADDER BEING

IN THE RING.

>> OH.

>> VALKYRIA WANTS THIS THING,

MAN.

LOOK AT THE EYES OF VALKYRIA.

>> RIGHT NOW, BOOM.

COULD HAVE JUST ROLLED THE EYES

IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AFTER

THAT STRIKE TO PEREZ.

DOLIN NOW GETS CAUGHT.

LOOK AT THE COMBINATION OFFENSE

FROM VALKYRIA.

>> THOSE EDUCATED FEET, VIC.

THOSE EDUCATED FEET ARE COMING

INTO PLAY RIGHT NOW.

OH, HERE WE GO.

HERE COMES THE PAIN.

>> SPINE ON LADDER.

LADDER'S ALWAYS GOING TO WIN.

>> YES, INDEED.

I HATED THESE LADDER MATCHES.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

UNPREDICTABILITY.

>> WATCH OUT, BOOK.

HARTWELL OVERPOWERING ZOEY STARK

RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN HEAR JUST HARTWELL.

STRATTON, WHAT'S ON HER MIND

NOW?

LOOK AT HARTWELL QUICKLY.

ALL SIX OF THESE WOMEN.

WE TALK ABOUT THAT NXT WOMEN'S

CHAMPIONSHIP.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

>> TALK ABOUT STRATEGY.

THIS IS A STRATEGY.

OH, YES.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> THESE WOMEN WILLING TO

DESTROY THEMSELVES TO DESTROY

THE OTHER.

>> LOOK AT THE RING.

LOOK AT THE RING.

>> LOOK WHO'S IN THE RING.

IT'S VALKYRIA.

FINALLY, A LADDER BEING SET UP,

AND VALKYRIA NOW TRYING TO GO

RUNG-BY-RUNG.

>> THIS COULD BE THAT MOMENT WE

WAS TALKING ABOUT, VIC.

>> TRYING TO FLY.

>> SHE'S GETTING UP QUICK.

>> STARK REALIZING IT, CUTTING

HER OFF.

STARK NOW SLOWING THE PACE OF

THIS MATCHUP DOWN QUICKLY.

>> LIKE I SAID, VIC, ZOEY

STARK, SHE'S PAYING HER DUES.

SHE WANTS TO WORK ON THAT MAIN

STAGE.

SHE WANTS TO BE AT WRESTLEMANIA

ONE DAY.

JUST LIKE YOU, VIC.

YOU WANT TO BE CALLING THE BIG

MATCHES ONE DAY.

>> YES, I DO.

OF COURSE.

THAT'S WHAT ZOEY STARK WANTS IN

HER LIFE.

>> WALK IN.

LOOK AT VALKYRIA.

LOOK AT THE BALANCE.

LOOK AT THE ATHLETICISM.

UP ON THAT LADDER RIGHT NOW,

VIC.

NOT NECESSARILY PERFECTLY PLACED

UNDERNEATH THE CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT

AT THIS POINT, VALKYRIA

TEETERING WITH TIFFANY.

>> SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY

ABOUT TIFFANY'S THREAT.

TANTALIZING, TITILLATING, BUT

SHE'S A BADDIE.

OH, YES.

>> STARK, LOOK AT HARTWELL.

HARTWELL TRYING TO WIPE OUT

STARK REAL QUICK.

>> COMBINATION RIGHT THERE BY

INDI HARTWELL.

LOOKING TO CASH IN.

SHE'S LOOKING FOR BLACK GOLD.

TEXAS TEARS.

SHE NEEDS THAT TITLE AROUND HER

WAIST.

>> LOOK WHAT HARTWELL REALIZED.

SHE REALIZED SHE HAD TO

REPOSITION THE LADDER.

VERY WISE OF HARTWELL, AND THIS

COULD BE INDI'S MOMENT NOW.

SHE GOT IT CENTERED UP.

BUT CAN SHE CLIMB?

SHE'S GOT TO GO.

SHE'S GOT TO MOVE MAYBE A LITTLE

BIT FASTER.

THERE'S STRATTON, AND THAT'S

ANOTHER DANGER OF THE LADDER

MATCH.

>> TIFFANY'S TALKING TO HER AT

THE SAME TIME.

>> PEREZ, SHE'S ON THE BACK OF

INDI HARTWELL.

TIFFANY.

TIFFANY.

FINGERTIPS.

>> SO CLOSE, VIC.

SO CLOSE.

OH, WOW.

>> YOU CAN SEE ROXANNE PEREZ.

SHE REALIZES HER CHAMPIONSHIP

WAS ALMOST OUT, AND-- OH, SHE

JUST GOT TAKEN OUT ALONG WITH

STRATTON.

>> TIMBER.

>> DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, INDI,

MOVE.

>> I MUST SAY, I AGREE WITH YOU

THERE, VIC.

WASTING THAT PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS

TIME IN A MATCH LIKE THIS.

>> CENTERING IT UP.

THIS IS THE GOAL THAT INDI

HARTWELL HAS HAD HER ENTIRE

LIFE.

SHE CAN SEE IT.

IT'S THERE, AND OH.

>> WASTED TOO MUCH TIME.

GIGI DOLIN AT THE RIGHT-- LIKE I

SAY, VIC, IT'S GOING TO COME

DOWN TO BEING AT THE RIGHT PLACE

AT THE RIGHT TIME.

>> WOW.

>> SPEAKING OF DOLIN.

SHE'S BEEN ON THIS STAGE BEFORE.

SHE'S TURNED ALL THAT PAIN.

SHE'S TURNED ALL THAT HURT.

SHE'S TURNED IT INTO FUEL.

THE FUEL RIGHT NOW FOR DOLIN TO

CLIMB THAT LADDER TO CALL

HERSELF A SINGLES CHAMPION HERE

IN NXT.

CAN SHE MANAGE HER EMOTIONS

TONIGHT?

EMOTION TO THE STAGE?

>> SHE HAS TO.

BEING IN THAT GROUP TOXIC

ATTRACTION FOR SO LONG, AND NOW

BEING OUT THERE ON HER OWN, I'M

SURE IT'S DIFFERENT.

I'M SURE IT'S DIFFERENT, BUT CAN

SHE DO IT?

I THINK SO.

>> RIGHT NOW, HER OWN MOMENTUM

TOOK HER DOWN, BUT SHE QUICKLY

GOT RIGHT BACK UP, AND SHE IS

WIPING OUT THE FIELD.

THIS GOES BACK TO STRATEGY,

BOOK.

THIS IS GREAT STRATEGY BY DOLIN.

TAKE EVERYBODY OUT.

>> THIS IS TAKING THE LADDER AND

KNOCKING THE HELL OUT OF

SOMEBODY, VIC.

COME ON.

THIS IS WIN BY ANY MEANS, I SAY

IT ALL THE TIME.

WIN BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

>> VALKYRIA.

>> OH, WOW.

>> YOU START TO LOOK AROUND,

ESPECIALLY ON VALKYRIA, YOU CAN

SEE THE WELTS STARTING TO FORM

ON THE BODIES OF ALL THESE

WOMEN.

THE DANGERS OF THIS MATCHUP.

>> THIS IS A DIFFERENT GIGI

DOLIN HERE TONIGHT TOO, VIC.

SHE WANTS IT.

>> OH.

START CONNECTING WITH THAT SUPER

KICK.

CHARGING BACK IN.

OH, AND AGAIN, VALKYRIA GETS

CAUGHT.

YOU SEE THE FIELD LAID OUT.

HUMAN DEMOLITION DERBY KICKING

US OFF HERE.

LET'S GO BACK TO SOME OF THIS

ACTION.

LOOK AT THIS NASTY, BAM, LANDING

FROM VALKYRIA.

>> NASTY.

>> NOT TO BE OUTDONE, VALKYRIA

FELT THE BRUNT OF ZOEY'S STORM.

>> LETTING IT ALL HANG OUT RIGHT

NOW, VIC.

I TOLD YOU, IT'S GOING TO COME

DOWN TO ATTRITION.

[CROWD CHANTS "THIS IS AWESOME"]

>> THIS IS SETTING THE TONE,

NOT JUST FOR STAND & DELIVER,

BUT FOR WRESTLEMANIA WEEKEND.

>> LIKE I SAY, VIC.

LOOKING AT THAT GIGI DOLIN, I

SAY, YOU NEVER MISS WHAT YOU

NEVER HAD, BUT ONCE YOU GET IT

ONE TIME, IF SHE COULD GET HER

HANDS ON THAT CHAMPIONSHIP, IT

WOULD CHANGE HER LIFE FOREVER.

>> I TRIED TO TALK TO GIGI

DOLIN.

SHE SAID THAT THIS MOMENT MEANS

SO MUCH TO HER.

SHE WAS ON THE PRE-SHOW A YEAR

AGO IN DALLAS.

SHE'S NOW IN THE OPENING MATCH.

THE SPOTLIGHT IS SOLELY ON HER.

SHE IS SOLELY IN THE RING RIGHT

NOW, CLIMBING.

AGAIN, GETS CAUGHT, STRATTON.

STRATTON TRYING TO OVERPOWER

DOLIN.

>> LOOK AT THE STRENGTH OF

TIFFANY STRATTON.

OH, YES.

ROLLING THUNDER ON THE LADDER.

>> NASTY LANDING ONE MORE TIME,

BUT THERE'S PEREZ AND THE NXT

WOMEN'S CHAMPION.

>> OH.

GOING FOR THAT.

GOING FOR THAT RUSSIAN, ALMOST

GOT IT.

OH, NO.

>> NOW, STRATTON REALIZING, AND

WE CAN SAY WHAT WE WANT TO SAY

ABOUT TIFFANY STRATTON.

SHE IS STEPPING UP IN THIS

MOMENT RIGHT NOW-- OH.

>> I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE

DAY ONE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

>> PEREZ QUICK AS A CAT ALL THE

WAY TO THE TOP.

HANDS ON THE TITLE, BUT STRATTON

THERE QUICKLY REALIZING IT, AND

NOW BOTH WOMEN.

LOOK HOW HIGH UP THESE WOMEN

ARE.

THEN BOTH GO CRASHING DOWN.

>> BAD, BAD SPILL THERE BY

ROXANNE.

>> SPILLING RIGHT OVER.

>> I DIDN'T LIKE THAT SPILL,

CAME DOWN ON THE ANKLE REAL HARD

THERE BY ROXANNE.

>> YOU GOT TO WONDER THE DAMAGE

THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO PEREZ

AFTER THAT BATTLE WITH MEIKO

SATOMURA.

THERE IS STRATTON, ONE MORE

TIME.

HER OWN LITTLE BIT OF

COMBINATION OFFENSE, AND NOW

LOOK AROUND, BOOK.

NO ONE TO STOP TIFFANY.

TIFFANY GOING TO THE TOP.

HARTWELL.

>> OH, YES.

MY GOD.

RIGHT ON THE LOWER PART OF THE

BACK.

>> THAT MIGHT BE THE DAMMEST

SPINEBUSTER I'VE EVER SEEN ON

THE STEEL LADDER.

>> YES, VIC.

THAT RIGHT THERE, LIKE YOU SAY,

THE STEEL ALWAYS WINS IN THAT

SITUATION.

MAN.

>> THEY'RE TAKING AGAIN A LOOK

AROUND.

INDI AGAIN TRYING AND ZOEY

STARK.

THESE WOMEN HAVE-- WHOA.

>> INDI AGAIN GOING TO HAVE TO

CLIMB THAT LADDER WITH A LITTLE

MORE URGENCY, VIC.

>> LOOK AT ZOEY STARK AT THIS

YOU TALK ABOUT A MOMENT.

SHE'S LOOKING AROUND.

SHE SAT IN THIS VERY ARENA.

SHE HAS BEEN HERE FOR SO MANY

DIFFERENT WWE LIVE EVENTS THAT

THIS COULD BE HER CROWNING

MOMENT WITH FAMILY IN ATTENDANCE

HERE TONIGHT.

HAVING TO RISK IT ALL-- A LITTLE

MISSTEP THERE.

INDI WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE

WAY, BUT NOW THAT'S ALLOWING.

ZOEY STARK AT THIS MOMENT TO

REALLY PUT TOGETHER.

LOOK AT THIS CONTRAPTION RIGHT

NOW.

>> YES, INDEED.

ZOEY WAS USING THAT LADDER LIKE

A BATTERY RAM.

RIGHT NOW, GOT INDI IN THE RIGHT

PLACE THERE.

GET IT, VIC.

AT THE RIGHT TIME.

OH, YES.

WOW.

>> EVEN WHEN DELIVERING THE

OFFENSE, YOU CAN SEE ZOEY STARK

CRINGING BECAUSE OF WHAT THE

LADDER IS DOING THERE, WHAT

SHE'S WILLING TO SACRIFICE.

>> JUST TO CATCH AN ELBOW, CATCH

A KNEE, ANYTHING.

THOSE LADDERS, THEY HURT, VIC.

THEY HURT A LOT.

THAT'S WHY I HATED MATCHES LIKE

THIS.

NOT MY FORTE, BUT THEY ARE

HISTORY-MAKING MATCHES.

HISTORY-MAKING MOMENTS.

>> INDI HARTWELL, AND NOW ZOEY

STARK.

STARK IN LOS ANGELES, IN HER

HOME ARENA.

>> ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.

HAND ON THE GOLD, CROWNING

MOMENT-- PEREZ, ONE MORE TIME.

THE NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION

REALIZING HER TITLE COULD BE

SLIPPING THROUGH HER GRASP.

DOING ANYTHING SHE CAN RIGHT

NOW, BOOK.

>> YES, INDEED.

YES, INDEED.

THAT'S MY MOTTO RIGHT THERE,

VIC.

BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, YOU DO

WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

>> PEREZ DOING JUST THAT.

ANYTHING SHE HAS TO DO TO RETAIN

THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> WOW.

BIG BACK ELBOW BY ZOEY.

>> STARK, ONE MORE TIME.

OH.

PEREZ HAD AN ANSWER.

>> SCOUT IT, VIC.

SCOUT IT.

NOW YOU TALKING ABOUT STRATEGY.

STRATEGY JUST CAME INTO PLAY.

JUST CAME INTO PLAY.

>> PEREZ REALIZES SHE CAN'T WIN

BY PINFALL OR SUBMISSION.

SHE'S GOT TO CLIMB THE LADDER.

SHE'S GOT TO RETRIEVE THE TITLE.

CAN WE SEE IT TWICE?

WE TALK ABOUT FILM STUDY.

STRATTON WAS ONE STEP AHEAD.

>> YES, INDEED.

YES, INDEED.

>> UH-OH.

LOOKING UP.

OH, PEREZ AGAIN.

HOW DOES SHE DO THIS?

HOW DOES SHE OVERCOME THE ODDS?

>> THAT'S WHY THEY CALL HER THE

PRODIGY, VIC.

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL HER THAT

SPECIAL, SPECIAL ONE.

>> SO MUCH IMPOSED PRESSURE.

THE PRODIGY TO THE TOP, TO THE

TITLE.

CAN SHE UNCLASP IT?

>> SO CLOSE.

SO CLOSE.

>> DAWN JUST BY THE HEEL OF THE

BOOT ABLE TO HOLD ON.

>> THE STRENGTH OF GIGI DOLIN.

>> TALK ABOUT NASTY LANDINGS AND

NASTY SPILLS, I THINK DOLIN MAY

BE IN FOR ONE HERE IN A MATTER

OF MOMENTS.

THAT CRUCIFIX BOMB.

NOW LOOK WHO'S IN THE DRIVER'S

SEAT.

>> THAT'S IN THE EYES.

YOU LOOK IN THE EYES OF GIGI,

IT'S A DIFFERENT GIGI HERE

TONIGHT.

LIKE I SAY, THIS IS A

LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT, VIC.

ALL SHE NEEDS TO DO IS GET TO

THE TOP, BUT THAT'S A LONG WAY.

>> VALKYRIA PERFORMING UNDER

THESE BRIGHT LIGHTS WOULD LOVE

TO ADD A PIECE OF GOLD TO ALL

THE BLACK FEATHERS SHE HAS WON

IN ALL THE BATTLES SHE HAS BEEN

IN.

DOWN TO DOLIN.

DOWN TO VALKYRIA.

STARK, RIGHT NOW, YOU SAW HER

GETTING BACK INTO THE MIX FOR A

MOMENT, RIGHT BACK IN.

VALKYRIA REALIZING IT AND WIPING

OUT THE FIELD, A LITTLE TWO FOR

ONE SPECIAL.

>> THESE LADIES WANT IT, VIC.

WHO WANTS IT MOST?

>> IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S VALKYRIA.

>> WHO WANTS IT MOST?

THAT'S THE QUESTION.

WHO WANTS TI MOST?

SHE'S THERE.

>> HANDS ON.

CAN SHE UNCLASP THE GOLD?

DOLIN HAVING RUN SOME

INTERFERENCE ONE MORE TIME.

BOOKER.

>> I DON'T LIKE THIS.

>> HUNG OUT TO DRY.

VALKYRIA CAN'T MOVE.

VALKYRIA IN A PRONE POSITION.

>> GIGI, SHE'S SO CLOSE TO

CHANGING HER LIFE, VIC.

ONE MORE RUNG.

JUST ONE MORE AND YOU'RE THERE.

>> YES, BUT LOOK, VALKYRIA IS

THE SAME.

SHE'S SO CLOSE TO CHANGING HER

LIFE AS WELL.

BOTH WOMEN ARE AT THE TOP

LOOKING FOR THE TITLE.

OH.

>> MY GOD, MAN.

>> DOLIN REALIZING THERE'S A

CHAMPIONSHIP TRYING TO GRAB--

>> WHAT THE?

WHO?

JACY JAYNE.

>> THIS IS MY TIME.

>> OH, GOD.

>> THIS IS ABOUT ME.

>> JACY JAYNE

PICKING HER SPOT.

SHE SAID SHE WOULD.

TO COME BACK AND RUIN THE MOMENT

FOR GIGI DOLIN.

[CROWD CHANTS "YOU SUCK"]

>> THIS IS ABOUT ME.

>> SO PROUD OF HERSELF.

WELL, WE GOT TO KEEP FOCUSING,

BOOK, BECAUSE THE MATCH IS AT

HAND.

IT'S STRATTON SETTING UP THE

LADDER, STARTING TO CLIMB.

TIFFANY STRATTON, THE CENTER OF

THE UNIVERSE.

>> SHE'S MOVING QUICK.

OH, SHE'S THERE.

>> MAY BE JUST THAT IN A--

>> WOW.

>> BOOK.

>> DOOR JUST OPENED, VIC.

INDI NEEDS TO MOVE.

INDI NEEDS TO MOVE QUICK.

>> THE DOOR'S WIDE OPEN, BUT SO

MUCH HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF INDI

HARTWELL.

SO MUCH HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF

ALL THESE WOMEN.

>> SHE BETTER FIND A WAY, VIC.

SHE BETTER FIND A WAY TO CLIMB

THAT LADDER.

THAT LADDER TO SUCCESS.

>> CHAMPIONSHIP HANGING IN THE

BALANCE.

BOOK, IT'S DEXTER LUMIS.

IT'S INDEX.

>> COME ON.

>> YES.

>> THIS IS NOT FAIR.

>> CLIMB.

>> THIS IS NOT FAIR, VIC.

>> DAMN BEING FAIR.

THIS IS INDI HARTWELL'S MOMENT.

YES.

[BELL RINGS]

>> HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND NEW

NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION, INDI

HARTWELL.

>> SEXY DEXI HERE WHEN THE WIFE

NEEDED HIM THE MOST.

>> SEXY DEXI.

>> INDI HARTWELL IS THE NEW NXT

WOMEN'S CHAMPION.

SHE'S IN DISBELIEF.

>> I DON'T APPROVE, BUT I ALWAYS

SAID, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

>> WE CAN'T FORGET, THOUGH, GIGI

DOLIN WAS SO CLOSE, IF NOT FOR

HER TOXIC PAST MEETING HER IN

THE PRESENT.

TIFFANY STRATTON WAS SO CLOSE,

BUT THEN TIFFANY TUMBLED FROM

THE TOP WIPING OUT THE FIELD,

WHICH THEN LEFT ONE PERSON, INDI

HARTWELL, WITH A LITTLE EXTRA

BOOST FROM DEXTER LUMIS BEING

ABLE TO CLIMB THE LADDER TO

SUCCESS.

AS YOU CALLED IT, AND FINALLY

AFTER ALL THE YEARS, AFTER ALL

THE BATTLES, AFTER ALL THE

LETDOWNS, AFTER ALL THE NOS,

INDI HARTWELL SITS ATOP THE NXT

WOMEN'S DIVISION IN NXT.

IT IS WRESTLEMANIA SATURDAY AND

RELATIONSHIP.

FAMILY, VIC.

THIS IS FAMILY.

>> IT CERTAINLY IS.

YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE DON, AND

MENTIONED FAMILY, STACKS NOW THE

UNDERBOSS.

D'ANGELO TOOK HIS FIRST STEP TO

BECOMING THE DON LAST HERE IN

STAND & DELIVER WHEN HE DEFEATED

TOMMASO CIAMPA.

HE DOESN'T WIN THAT MATCH, THERE

MAY BE NO FAMILY.

>> YES, INDEED.

D'ANGELO, THE DON OF THAT CLICK,

AND THESE GUYS ARE LOOKING TO

NAIL THROUGH THAT PACKAGE.

>> TIME TO SHOW THE WORLD WHO

THE GALLUS BOYS ARE.

>> AYE.

TRIPLE THREAT, ANYTHING GOES.

>> AYE.

NOW LET'S GO DEFEND OUR TITLES.

IT'S GALLUS BOYS ON TOP.

[GALLUS BOYS' MUSIC PLAYS]

THE NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, MARK

COFFEY AND WOLFGANG, GALLUS.

>> TRIPLE THREAT RULES, THEY

DON'T NEED TO BE FACTORED IN THE

DECISION, DOES GALLUS, TO LOSE

THEIR TITLES.

EVEN KNOWING THAT THEY TOLD

MCKENZIE MITCHELL THIS PAST

TUESDAY ON NXT THEY'RE CONFIDENT

HEARING INTO THIS MATCHUP.

>> I LIKE PUTTING THE PAINT TO

THE SIDE.

IT'S GOING TO BE TIME TO GET TO

THE PULP, BUT IT'S TIME TO TAKE

CARE OF BUSINESS.

I LOVE THESE GALLUS BOYS.

>> BOOK, TWO-TIME WWE HALL OF

FAMER.

ONE OF THOSE RINGS WITH YOUR

BROTHER, STEVIE RAY, HARLEM

HEAT, HE AND YOU HAVE BEEN

TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS COUNTLESS

TIMES.

YOU HAVE HAD TO COMPETE UNDER

THESE SORT OF RULES.

WHAT SORT OF PREP GOES INTO THAT

AS CHAMPIONS?

>> OH, MAN.

VIC, THAT'S A REALLY, REALLY,

REALLY GOOD QUESTION.

YOU GOT THE GALLUS BOYS WHO CAME

BACK AFTER A LONG HIATUS AND

JUST SNATCHED THOSE TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONSHIPS.

ALL THEY GOT TO DO IS JUST GO

OUT THERE AND STICK TO THE PLAN,

BUT THEN YOU'VE GOT THE CREED

BROTHERS WHO'S BEEN GOING

THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS, BUT THEY

ARE BROTHERS-

[BELL RINGS]

>> -TO THE BONE.

A WIN TONIGHT, COULD DEFINITELY

PUT THEM RIGHT BACK IN ACTION.

WE LOOK AT D'ANGELO AND STACKS,

OH, MY GOD.

>> ALL THREE OF THESE TEAMS WHO

BONDED OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS-

>> OH, YES.

>> -THIS NOW MATCH TURNING INTO

TRIPLE THREAT.

I'M SURE THERE'S GOING TO BE NO

FRIENDS IN THIS MATCHUP.

I'M GLAD YOU SAID THEY'RE

HIATUS, THEY WERE SUSPENDED,

BOOK, THEY WERE SUSPENDED FROM

THE BRAND.

>> SAME THING.

HE WASN'T AROUND THAT.

THEY WEREN'T AROUND FOR MONTHS

ON END.

THEN COME BACK AND SNATCH THOSE

CHAMPIONSHIPS FROM THE NEW DAY.

A TAG TEAM THAT'S VERY, VERY

HIGHLY TOUTED.

>> LOOK AT THESE QUICK TAGS

BEING MADE BY ALL THESE TEAMS

TRYING TO GET THE ADVANTAGE IN

THIS MATCHUP.

IT'S NOW STACKS.

THAT'S JULIUS CREED.

NICE TAKE DOWN FROM THE FORMER

ACC STANDOUT, AND BREAKING UP

THE COVER IS MARK COFFEY.

AGAIN, GALLUS DOES NOT NEED TO

BE FACTORED IN THIS MATCHUP-

[LAUGHS]

>> -TO LOSE THEIR GOLD.

>> TWO ON ONE.

I'M GOING TO TAKE THE TWO EVERY

DAY OF THE WEEK

>> INSIDE CRADLE, SHOULDERS

DOWN.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

>> SHIFTING HIS WEIGHT JUST A

LITTLE BIT.

OH, YOU TALK ABOUT WEIGHTS, YOU

TALK ABOUT GOING TO THE WEIGHT

ROOM.

LOOK AT JULIUS CREED.

BIG SLAM, AND THEY PUT IN SOME

EXTRA WORK IN THE DOJO, AND

THERE COMES D'ANGELO.

>> I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE

CREED BROTHERS.

LIKE I SAID-

>> TAG.

>> -A WIN TONIGHT COULD GET

THESE GUYS RIGHT BACK ON TRACK.

HEY, THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY IS

LOOKING FOR HERE.

WRESTLEMANIA WEEKEND.

HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR GOLD FOR

QUITE SOME TIME AND THEY COULD

FINALLY WIN IT HERE TONIGHT.

>> JUST NEED TO STAY FOCUSED.

GOT TO HAVE TUNNEL VISION, GOT

TO PUT THOSE BLINDERS ON IN THE

MATCHUP LIKE THIS, VIC.

>> YOU TALK ABOUT THE FAM, THEY

TOO HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN THE

WORK.

TAGGING, THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND

TIME THEY'VE EVER WORKED

TOGETHER.

STRATEGY, WORKING TOGETHER LIKE

A WELL-OILED UNIT.

NOW SOME OF THIS ACTION SPILLING

A LITTLE BIT TOO CLOSE TO US.

>> OH, WHOA.

WOW.

COME ON, GUYS.

COMES THE STRAPS.

THE STRAPS JUST CAME DOWN, VIC.

>> YOU TALK ABOUT THE CREED

BROTHERS.

THEY ALSO COMPETED AT STAND &

DELIVER A YEAR AGO.

HOW HAVE THEY GROWN IN YOUR EYES

AS A TEAM?

>> NO, I LOOK AT THESE GUYS.

FIRST TIME I MET THEM, I SAY

THESE ARE TWO GUYS THAT ARE BIG

GUYS AND DEFINITELY KNOWS THE

GAME AS FAR AS MAT TECHNIQUE,

PRECISION TACTICIANS.

>> TALK ABOUT PRECISION.

>> AS WELL AS-

>> LOOK AT THE STRENGTH.

>> -THE POWER GAME IS DEFINITELY

THERE, VIC.

>> WE SAID THEY'RE PUTTING EXTRA

WORK IN THE DOJO, GETTING A

LITTLE LOVE FROM DC.

>> I DON'T LIKE THIS, I DON'T

LIKE THIS BEING DISTRACTED FOR A

SECOND.

WE DON'T NEED NO OUTSIDE

COACHING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

WE DON'T NEED NO OUTSIDE

COACHING-

>> HOLD ON, BOOK.

>> -FROM DC

>> DC COULD BE THE

GUY THAT HELPS HIM A LITTLE BIT,

FIRES HIM UP A LITTLE BIT MORE.

>> OR HE COULD BE THE GUY THAT

MAKE THEM LOSE IT ALL IN A

MATCHUP LIKE THIS.

NOT BEING FOCUSED.

>> LOOK AT BRUTUS, BIG BRUTUS

TOSSED AROUND D'ANGELO, BUT

RIGHT FROM BEHIND.

QUICKLY NOW MARK COFFEY.

AGAIN, COFFEY-- UH-OH MARK

COFFEY RIGHT NOW JUST GETTING

PLANTED.

MARK COFFEY, WOLFGANG, THEY GOT

TO STAY ON THEIR TOES IN THIS

MATCHUP.

YOU'VE SEEN THAT A LITTLE BIT.

>> BRUTUS IS A STRONG

INDIVIDUAL, AND RIGHT THERE,

MARK COFFEY GOT CAUGHT IN THE

WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.

ABOUT?

BRUTUS GOT CAUGHT, AND NOW

COFFEY TURNING THINGS AROUND IN

THIS MATCHUP, AND QUICKLY NOW

WOLFGANG GETTING BACK UP.

GALLUS TAKING CONTROL WHICH IS

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

>> NOTHING PRETTY ABOUT THESE

GALLUS BOYS' TECHNIQUES, VIC.

THEY'RE BRAWLERS.

>> THEY ARE BRAWLERS.

>> THEY'RE GOING TO GO OUT THERE

AND USE THOSE BRAWLING

TECHNIQUES TO GET A VICTORY JUST

LIKE THEY DID TO WIN THOSE TAG

TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS.

OH, YES.

>> THEY LOVE A GOOD SCRAP.

RIGHT NOW, WOLFGANG, COFFEY HAVE

ISOLATED BOTH BRUTUS AND TONY

D'ANGELO IN THIS MOMENT.

YOU TALK ABOUT CHANGING

COMPLEXION OF THE MATCHUP.

GALLUS HAS JUST DONE THAT.

A QUICK KICK OUT THERE BY

D'ANGELO AT ONE.

>> GALLUS BOYS THINKING ABOUT

THE PULP, THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT

GETTING A PAINT AND THEY NEED TO

GET THIS THING OVER WITH TO GET

THAT DONE, VIC.

>> WE TALK ABOUT THE PUB, WE

TALK ABOUT WHERE THEY LOVE TO

BE.

THEY LOVE TO FIGHT AND THEY'RE

RIGHT IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT IN

THIS MATCHUP, AND SLUGGING IT

OUT NOW WOLFGANG AND D'ANGELO.

STANDING TOE-TO-TOE WITH ONE

ANOTHER.

>> TALK ABOUT THE PREPARATION IN

THIS MATCHUP.

WE'RE IN LA, WE'RE NOT IN BIG

BEAR.

WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE

APTITUDE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT,

BUT THESE GUYS GOT TO WORRY

ABOUT THEIR CONDITIONING BECAUSE

IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT.

>> TALK ABOUT A LONG NIGHT.

THAT'S OKAY WITH JULIUS WHO NOW

IS JUST TOSSING BODIES.

EVERYONE HE SEES MULTITUDE OF

SUPLEXES.

THE CREED BROTHERS BOTH HAVE

>> WHOA. YES.

>> -THEY SAW THEIR BIGGEST

GROWTH FROM YEAR ONE TO YEAR

TWO, AND THEY'RE ENTERING YEAR

TWO HERE TONIGHT.

>> LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

JULIUS CREED GOT THIS CROWD ON

FIRE, DECIBEL LEVEL IS HIGH.

>> OH, NICE SHARP ELBOW.

TAG WAS MADE, AND BACK IN COMES

STACKS.

STACKS PICKING UP A LITTLE BIT

OF MOMENTUM AND, OH, JUST RAN

OVER JULIUS.

RIGHT BACK IN, AND NOW LOOK AT

STACKS, TOOK OUT WOLFGANG, TOOK

OUT JULIUS.

>> IT'S THAT PACKAGE I'M TALKING

ABOUT, STACKS IS LOOKING TO

DELIVER.

OH, YES, HE'S ON FIRE.

>> LOOK, THE UNDERBOSS HAD A

LITTLE EXTRA PEP IN HIS STEP

SINCE HE'S BEEN GIFTED THAT

D'ANGELO FAMILY CROSS AND THAT

PEP IN HIS STEP HAS COME TO LOS

ANGELES.

HIGH CROSSBODY GETTING RIGHT

BACK INTO THE COVER.

HOOK OF THE LEG, AND A NEAR

FALL.

YOU GOT TO, BOOK, DID YOU SEE ON

THE HIGH CROSSBODY HE BOUNCED

OFF FOR JUST A MOMENT?

HAD TO GET RIGHT BACK ON?

IF HE WOULD'VE FULLY CONNECTED,

D'ANGELO COULD BE TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONS RIGHT NOW,

>> NOT JUST

FULLY CONNECTED, BUT GRAB THAT

BACK LEG AT THE SAME TIME, VIC.

DEFINITELY COULD HAVE BEEN NEW

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS RIGHT THERE.

RIGHT NOW, THE STRENGTH OF

JULIUS CREED TRYING TO COME INTO

PLAY.

OH.

>> WE TALK ABOUT STRENGTH.

>> OH, I DON'T LIKE THIS, VIC.

>> OH, YOU CAN SAY THAT ONE MORE

TIME.

WHAT?

NO WAY.

NO WAY.

DOUBLE DOOMSDAY

>> HE'S NOT GOING TO DO IT.

>> BRUTUS DIDN'T GET ALL OF IT,

BUT I THINK HE GOT JUST ENOUGH

TO KNOCK THAT TOWER DOWN.

UNREAL-

>> WOW.

>> -ACTION IN THIS TRIPLE THREAT

MATCH.

IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE BIT,

BOOK.

WHEN YOU'RE THAT, DID YOU SEE

THE STRENGTH AGAIN-

>> I'LL TELL YOU.

>> -OF JULIUS?

>> RIGHT NOW, VIC.

WE'RE AT THAT STAGE OF THE MATCH

WHEN WE'RE THROWING CAUTION TO

THE WIND.

>> IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ABOUT

TECHNIQUE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ABOUT X'S

AND O'S OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT THE WILL

AND DETERMINATION OF WHO WANTS

IT MOST.

>> WHAT'D YOU SAY EARLIER?

WHO'S WILLING TO DO WHAT IT

TAKES TO WIN.

>> I'VE SAID THAT FROM DAY ONE,

BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

>> JULIUS NOW ALL BY HIMSELF

GETTING STACKS BACK IN TO THE

RING.

AGAIN, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO

REMEMBER, RIGHT NOW, THE CREEDS

ARE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

NOW LOOK AT D'ANGELO FROM

BEHIND.

WOLFGANG, MARK COFFEY DON'T NEED

TO BE FACTORED IN THE DECISION

TO LOSE THE TITLES TONIGHT.

THE D'ANGELOS.

>> D'ANGELO JUST TOOK ADVANTAGE

OF THAT SITUATION.

>> STACKS.

>> RIGHT NOW, WE MAY HAVE NEW-

>> SPLASH.

>> -TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

GET THE COVER.

HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO.

>> THE FAMILY.

>> WHOA, WOW.

>> WOLFGANG AND MARK FROM THE

OTHER SIDE ABLE TO BREAK UP THE

NOW TONY D'ANGELO "THE DON"

PLANNING CENTER OF THE RING, BUT

STACKS IS LEGAL.

TONY REALIZES THAT.

DRAGS STACKS UP OVER MARK COFFEY

TO WIN, AND WOLFGANG JUST

OVERPOWERED THE DON.

WHOA.

>> TONY D'ANGELO IS DOING

EVERYTHING HE POSSIBLY CAN TO

WALK AWAY NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPION

HERE TONIGHT, VIC.

>> BADDA BING, BADDA BOOM.

>> THAT'S GOT TO BE IT RIGHT

THERE.

YOU GOT TO GET THE COVER.

HE'S MOVING.

>> LOOK AT STACKS.

STACKS REALIZING IT, COVERING,

COUNTING, GOING IN.

JOE COFFEY.

NO WAY.

MARK COFFEY'S BROTHER-

>> JOE COFFEY?

>> -JOE.

OH, WAS LOOKING TO CLEAN THE

CLOCK OF STACKS.

D'ANGELO SACRIFICED HIMSELF.

>> WAIT A MINUTE.

FILL ME IN, VIC.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

>> JOE COFFEY IS BROTHER OF MARK

COFFEY.

GALLUS IS COMPLETE.

THIS IS WHY THEY WERE SO DAMN

CONFIDENT.

NOT LIKE THIS.

>> BAM.

>> OH, WOW.

>> COVER.

>> ONE, TWO, THREE.

>> GALLUS RETAINS THE TITLES.

[GALLUS' MUSIC PLAYS]

THEY WERE ROCKING, THEY WERE

ROLLING, BUT RIGHT HERE, THE

TURNING POINT.

JOE COFFEY'S REEMERGENCE IN NXT

AND THEN, BAM, D'ANGELO TOOK THE

BULLET, SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR

STACKS, BUT IT WOULDN'T MATTER

BECAUSE, IN THE END, STACKS FELT

GALLUS AND GALLUS RETAINS THE

TITLES.

THE KINGDOM IS WHOLE ONCE AGAIN.

GALLUS BOYS ON TOP.

GALLUS STRONGER THAN EVER.

>> THERE IS JOHNNY GARGANO.

16 MONTHS OF FRUSTRATION AND

BUILD UP.

GARGANO IMMENSELY PREPARING FOR

THE UNSANCTIONED MATCH LATER

TONIGHT AGAINST GRAYSON WALLER.

RIGHT NOW OUR HOSTS OF STAND &

MOVE ON, MOVE ON, MOVE ON.

WE ARE OUTSIDE OF THE LOCKER

ROOM OF THE NXT CHAMPION, BRON

BREAKKER.

>> WE'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT

WHAT'S BEHIND THE MIND OF MR.

BREAKKER BEFORE HEADING INTO

ARGUABLY THE BIGGEST MATCH IN

NXT HISTORY.

ELTON.

I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT,

THOUGH.

>> ME?

>> I THINK YOU SHOULD GO.

>> LAST TIME WE SAW HIM, HE

SPEARED US IN HALF.

>> I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT HIM

WHEN HE'S IN THE ZONE.

IN THE ZONE.

>> THAT'S THE RIGHT CALL.

>> YOU THINK?

>> THE RIGHT CALL.

>> WELL, ON SECOND THOUGHTS,

ACTUALLY, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE

>> OH, YES.

[CROWD CHANTS "WES LEE"]

>> WHEN THE PEOPLE CHANT MY

NAME I FEEL I CAN OVERCOME

ANYTHING AND ANYONE.

[MUSIC]

>> HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE

IMPACT THAT HE HAS ON PEOPLE.

HE REALLY, REALLY IS IMPACTFUL,

AND HE CARES SO MUCH FOR PEOPLE

AND THEIR SUCCESS.

I JUST WANT TO SEE HIM BE

SUCCESSFUL TOO.

>> ALL THE UPS AND DOWNS, THE

SACRIFICES, THE RISKS, ALL OF

THEM HAVE CULMINATED BY GETTING

ME HERE.

I BUST MY -- EVERYDAY THAT I'M

OUT HERE.

I'M THE NEW STANDARD AS THE NXT

NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.

I WILL RISK EVERYTHING TO KEEP

IT.

IT IS OPEN SEASON FOR THE NXT

NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

WHO'S STEPPING UP?

>> EVERYBODY WANT A SHOT.

>> YOU CAN'T BLAME THEM, IT'S AN

OPEN CHALLENGE.

>> WHO'S IT GOING TO BE?

HONESTLY, YOU GOT TO LOVE ALL

THE COMMOTION THAT'S GOING ON

AROUND HERE.

ALL THE CHAOS, THE MADNESS.

KILLING US.

IT'S CHAOS EVERY WEEK, MAN.

>> THIS SITUATION IS ABSOLUTELY

UNPREDICTABLE.

>> I HAVE TO PROVE MYSELF, AND

YOU MORE THAN ANYONE SHOULD

UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING

THROUGH.

WE GOT A DEAL?

>> SHAWN MICHAELS GAVE ME FOUR

SPOTS.

>> IT'S DRAGON LEE.

ONE OF THE NEWEST SIGNINGS.

I'LL SEE YOU IN LA.

JD HAS BEEN IN MY FACE, AND I AM

SICK AND TIRED OF HIM.

>> OH, WHAT A CHEAP SHOT.

>> HE'S GOT THE SECOND SPOT.

>> ILJA DRAGUNOV.

>> ILJA IS KNOWN AS EUROPE'S

FINEST.

ONLY ONE WAY TO PUT THAT TO THE

TEST.

HE'S GOT THE THIRD NOW.

>> 20 SUPERSTARS IN THIS

OVER-THE-TOP-ROPE BATTLE ROYAL.

WHO'S GOING TO EARN THE FIFTH

AND FINAL SPOT?

[BELL RINGS]

>> AXIOM IS HEADED TO STAND &

>> IF YOU ARE IN MY WAY, I AM

GOING AROUND, THROUGH, OR OVER

YOU.

>> WHICH OF THESE FIVE WILL HAVE

THEIR GOLDEN MOMENT IN LOS

ANGELES?

[ILJA DRAGUNOV'S MUSIC PLAYS]

[BELL RINGS]

>> THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN

OPEN CHALLENGE FOR THE NXT NORTH

AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

INTRODUCING FIRST, ILJA

DRAGUNOV.

>> WELL, BOOK, GET READY FOR THE

CHAOS.

I WANT TO BRING THIS TO YOUR

ATTENTION.

THE VILE INTERNAL FEELING THAT

DRAGUNOV AND JD MCDONAGH HAVE

FOR ONE ANOTHER, DO YOU THINK

THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO

PUT THOSE FEELINGS ASIDE FOR

THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL GAIN HERE

TONIGHT?

>> YO, VIC, THAT'S A BLOOD FEUD.

THAT'S A PERSONAL BEEF THAT

THESE GUYS HAVE.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SETTLE

IT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER, BUT

THOSE TWO, THAT'S SOMETHING.

I REALLY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO

EXPLAIN IT.

IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TONIGHT,

BUT THEY SHOULD PUT IT ASIDE

BECAUSE IT'S A GREATER THING,

AND THAT'S THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP.

[AXIOM'S MUSIC PLAYS]

>> NEXT, AXIOM.

>> IT'S VERY EASY FOR AXIOM.

HE IS TIRED OF BEING LOOKED DOWN

UPON.

HE HAS SAID IT TIME AND TIME

AGAIN FOR THOSE THAT MAYBE HAVE

OVERLOOKED HIM, OR THOUGHT THAT

THEY WERE BETTER THAN HE WAS.

HE HAS BEEN EYEING THE NORTH

AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP FOR SOME

TIME, AND NOW THE SPOTLIGHT IS

ON HIM.

>> OH, YES.

THIS KID IS MAJOR, MAJOR

TALENTED.

HE IS THE MATRIX.

HE'S A GUY THAT'S SPECIAL, VIC.

THEY SAY, IF THIS KID CAN WIN

THE CHAMPIONSHIP, IT WILL MAKE

HIM 30% BETTER.

THEY SAY THAT ABOUT THIS

CHAMPIONSHIP.

IF THIS KID CAN GET 30% BETTER,

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

CAN YOU IMAGINE, VIC?

>> I CAN IMAGINE ANYTHING AXIOM

BELIEVES HE CAN DO, HE CAN

ACCOMPLISH.

CAN HE FINALLY ACCOMPLISH HIS

GOAL OF BECOMING NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPION HERE IN LOS ANGELES?

[JD MCDONAGH'S MUSIC PLAYS]

>> JD MCDONAGH.

>> YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE EYES.

YOU KEEP MENTIONING THAT

TONIGHT.

TALKING ABOUT THE EYES OF JD

MCDONAGH.

IS IT HARD FOR YOU TO BET

AGAINST THE IRISH ACE?

YOU ALWAYS SPEAK VERY HIGHLY OF

HIM.

>> NO, THIS GUY HAS A RESIDENCY

INSIDE MY FAVE FIVE.

YOU CAN TELL WHAT'S ON HIS MIND,

AND THAT'S DRAGUNOV.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THAT

ASIDE.

IT'S ABOUT A GREATER GOOD

TONIGHT, VIC.

IT'S ABOUT THAT CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> BOOK, YOU LOOK IN THE EYES.

>> HE'S LASER FOCUSED, MAN.

>> MCDONAGH HASN'T TAKEN HIS

EYES OFF DRAGUNOV.

[DRAGON LEE'S MUSIC PLAYS]

>> MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING,

DRAGON LEE.

>> DRAGON LEE, THE HIGHLY TOUTED

INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR,

RECEIVED THE FIRST SPOT IN THIS

MATCH, AND YOU CAN SEE JUST WHY.

CAMERAS ARE OUT.

SPOTLIGHT ON HIM.

THE INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS HASN'T

PREPARED HIM FOR THE SPOTLIGHT

OF NXT IN WWE.

>> I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT

NOW, HE JUST PASSED THE AIRPORT

TEST.

WHO IS THIS GUY?

HE'S SOMEBODY.

OH, MY GOD, THAT WALK TOLD ME A

WHOLE LOT ABOUT DRAGON LEE.

[WES LEE'S MUSIC PLAYS]

>> THEIR OPPONENT, HE IS THE

NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION, WES

LEE.

>> FROM A RASCAL TO AN

AFTERTHOUGHT TO A CHAMPION.

IN YOUR HALL OF FAME OPINION, IS

WES LEE THE EPIDEMY OF A

FIGHTER?

>> ANOTHER YOUNG KID.

ONCE UPON A TIME HE WAS VERY,

VERY BRAGGADOCIOUSO, BUT HE WENT

OUT THERE AND BACKED IT UP.

THAT'S THIS KID, WES LEE.

THAT'S THE GUY THAT I'M TALKING

ABOUT.

HE COINED THE PHRASE, FLOAT LIKE

A BUTTERFLY, STING LIKE A BEE.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, THAT'S

HIGH PRAISE FOR THIS KID.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MUHAMMAD

ALI, AND WES LEE.

OH MY GOD, MAN.

>> SOMEONE CALLED LEE LUCKY, BUT

HE HAS LEVERAGED THE ADVERSITY

AND THE SUCCESS.

HE'S MADE SOME BOLD MOVES, BUT

TRUSTS HIS SKILL TO SUCCEED.

ONE OF THOSE BOLD MOVES,

HANDPICKING THE FOUR SUPERSTARS

THAT ARE IN YET ANOTHER NORTH

AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN

CHALLENGE MATCH.

HE HAS SINGLE-HANDEDLY CREATED

CHAOS THROUGHOUT THE LOCKER ROOM

FOR THE NXT CROWN.

>> YES, BUT HE'S GOING TO HAVE

TO GO OUT HERE AND TOP FOUR OF

THE BEST TALENT-

[BELL RINGS]

>> -IN THIS BUSINESS HERE

TONIGHT IN THIS 5-WAY MATCHUP

FOR THAT NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPIONSHIP.

LET'S SEE HOW THIS THING PLAYS

OUT.

FLIP A COIN.

I DON'T CARE.

>> I THINK WES LEE REALIZING

WHAT WE ALL REALIZED, THAT

DRAGUNOV AND MCDONAGH HAVE TO

TAKE IT OUT ON EACH OTHER.

YOU TALK ABOUT THE AIRPORT TEST.

DRAGON LEE JUST WALKED UP TO THE

BADDEST MAN IN THE MATCHUP AND

PUNCHED HIM IN THE MOUTH.

>> LIKE I SAID, THE REPORT CARD

IS STILL OUT FOR THIS KID,

DRAGON LEE, AS FAR AS I'M

CONCERNED, BUT TONIGHT HE'S GOT

A CHANCE TO SHOW ME EVERYTHING I

NEED TO KNOW.

>> THIS IS THE MATCH THAT COULD

STEAL THE WEEKEND HERE IN LOS

ANGELES.

I ASKED YOU EARLIER IN THE

LADDER MATCH, BUT IS THERE ANY

STRATEGY IN THIS MATCHUP?

IT'S ONE FAULT TO A FINISH.

>> SO MUCH ENERGY IN THIS

MATCHUP RIGHT HERE.

LKE I SAID, YOU GOT TO TALK

ABOUT LIVE WIRES.

>> OH.

>> WE GOT ABOUT-

>> GEES.

>> -FIVE OF THEM RIGHT HERE

TONIGHT IN THIS MATCHUP, VIC.

>> RIGHT NOW GOING BACK AND LOOK

AT AXIOM, WHO WANTED THIS

MATCHUP, WANTED THIS OPPORTUNITY

HAS WANTED THIS TITLE.

>> LOOK DO-SI-DO

ACTION RIGHT THERE.

EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR THAT.

THAT ONE UP.

>> OOH.

>> TALK ABOUT LAYING THIS KID.

OH, YES.

PUT SOME HOT SAUCE ON THAT, VIC.

>> I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU WHO IS

GOING TO BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH

DOMINANCE UP FRONT, BUT I

BELIEVE WE REALIZE--

>> OH, IT'S

GOING TO KICK OFF REALLY, VIC.

LIKE I SAY, THIS IS A BLOOD

FEUD.

IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO IT.

LET'S GET IT ALL.

>> OH.

HEY, DRAGON LEE FROM BEHIND, AND

AGAIN, DRAGON LEE RIGHT IN THERE

WITH JD MCDONAGH.

IN THIS SORT OF MATCH, YOU SEE

HOW QUICK THIS PACE IS.

DO YOU CHASE THE FIGHT OR SHOULD

YOU LET THE FIGHT COME TO YOU?

>> NO, YOU GOT TO GET IN THE

FIGHT, VIC.

YOU CAN'T BE WAITING IN A

MATCHUP LIKE THIS.

IT'S ABOUT GOING OUT THERE AND

TAKING THAT NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPIONSHIP.

LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN'T WAIT

AROUND TO GET THAT DONE.

>> LOOK AT DRAGON LEE, NXT

IN-RING DEBUT.

WHEN YOU JUST HEAR THE OOHS, YOU

HEAR THE AAHS FROM THE NXT

UNIVERSE.

>> SEE THE BALANCE OF THIS KID,

DRAGON LEE, BUT HE GOT CAUGHT

WITH A BIG SHOT THERE BY

DRAGUNOV.

[CROSSTALK]

>> GOT TO HAVE EYES IN THE BACK

OF YOUR HEAD IN A MATCHUP LIKE

THIS, VIC.

>> YES, YOU TAKE A LOOK AT

DRAGON LEE RIGHT NOW.

REIGNING RIGHT INTO DRAGUNOV.

>> KEEPING IT LEGAL AS WELL.

DROPPING IN THOSE BIG FORMS.

>> OOH.

SETTING HIS SIGHTS AGAIN.

DRAGON LEE RIGHT NOW HAS TURNED

INTO A ONE-MAN SHOW IN THIS OPEN

CHALLENGE.

>> LOOK AT THE ACCELERATION

RIGHT THERE FROM THIS KID.

THIS KID IS SHOWING ME A LITTLE

SOMETHING, VIC

>> MAX-- OH, HERE

WE GET OUT OF DODGE, THOUGH, WAS

IS DRAGON LEE?

WE TALKING ABOUT PURE SPEED.

>> HERE WE GO, VIC.

HERE WE GO.

>> OH, SAME IDEA

>> [LAUGHS]

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

DRAGON LEE.

ONE STEP AHEAD RIGHT THERE, VIC.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> OH, DRAGON LEE LOOKING TO

LEAVE HIS FEET, LOOKING TO FLY,

CREATING HIMSELF A HIGHLIGHT

REEL AT STAND & DELIVER.

>> EFFORTLESS, VIC.

FLAWLESS.

THAT WAS A KID IN MY BOOK.

CHECK IT OUT.

CHECK OUT THE BALANCE IN THE

GRACE-

>> WOO.

>> -WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE.

OH YES.

>> ONE MORE LOOK AND SLOW

MOTION, CLEARING THE TOP, WIPING

OUT THE DECK.

NOW WESLEY IN THE RING.

>> FLYING MELENDES

COULDN'T HAVE DID IT BETTER.

>> OH, CATCHING THE, OOH, THE

NORTHERN AMERICAN CHAMPION, AND

WESLEY'S SHAKING IT OFF.

THIS IS THE SHOWDOWN THAT WESLEY

HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.

THIS IS THE SHOWDOWN WESLEY HAS

WANTED, HE HAS WANTED THE BEST,

HAS WANTED TO FACE THE BEST.

THAT'S WHY HE HAS NOT BACKED

DOWN FROM ANY CHALLENGE.

HE HAS OPENED THE DOOR TO

EVERYONE, IN THE LOCKER ROOM,

EVEN THE NEWEST OF SUPERSTARS.

>> YOU STILL GOT TO WONDER IF

WESLEY IS PUTTING HIMSELF OUT

THERE JUST A LITTLE TOO FAR.

BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW A WHOLE

LOT ABOUT THIS KID, DRAGON LEE.

AT LEAST I DON'T.

>> WELL, WESLEY'S DONE HIS

SCOUTING.

HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS IN

THERE AGAINST.

HE DOESN'T MATTER HOW BIG YOU

ARE, HOW TOUGH YOU ARE, WESLEY

WANTS TO STEP IN THE RING, HE

WANTS TO TAKE YOU DOWN.

HE WANTS TO PROVE THE NAYSAYERS

WRONG AND LOOK AT WESLEY OOZING

CONFIDENCE.

>> GET SOME WHAT'S UP.

YOU BETTER BE BIG ENOUGH AND BAD

ENOUGH TO TAKE SOME.

THAT'S THAT KID, WESLEY.

>> DRAGUNOV FACE FIRST.

LEE NOW PICKING UP SOME SPEED

AND A KNEE.

>> OH YES.

BEAUTIFUL.

>> RIGHT UNDER THE JAW.

WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND WESLEY, THE

ONE STANDING.

>> LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WESLEY'S CONFIDENCE IS OVER THE

TOP.

HE'S GOT THAT STROKE OF

INVINCIBILITY RIGHT NOW AND

THAT'S THAT CHAMPIONSHIP AROUND

HIS WAIST.

>> OH, MCDONAGH THINKS HE WIPED

OUT LEE.

BOOM.

WESLEY HAD A COUPLE OTHER THINGS

IN MIND.

WE TALK ABOUT THE SPEED, WE TALK

ABOUT THE ATHLETICISM, WE TALK

ABOUT THE PACE THAT THIS MATCHUP

WOULD BE.

WE TALK ABOUT CHAOS TOO.

BOOK AT THIS POINT IN THE

MATCHUP, IS IT GOING TO BE ABOUT

WHICH SUPERSTAR CAN CONTROL THAT

CHAOS BETTER THAN THE OTHERS?

>> I THINK SO.

I AGREE WITH YOU.

RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS THAT WESLEY

IS CONTROLLING EVERY BIT OF THIS

MATCHUP RIGHT NOW.

THE THING IS, I LOOK AT

MCDONAGH, HE SEEMS LIKE HE'S A

LITTLE BIT OFF OF HIS GAME

TONIGHT.

>> MCDONAGH JUST RUNNING THROUGH

-- OH, DRAGON LEE AGAIN, FROM

BEHIND.

MCDONAGH, AGAIN, WE TALK ABOUT

WHO HE'S FOCUSED ON, WHAT HE IS

FOCUSED ON.

>> OH, YES.

>> I ASKED IF MCDONAGH WAS THE

MOST DANGEROUS TO MATCH, BUT AT

THIS POINT, YOU GOT TO ASSUME

EVERYBODY'S JUST AS DANGEROUS.

THIS HAS BEEN AN EVEN PLAYING

FIELD FOR THESE FIVE SUPERSTARS.

>> IT HAS BEEN.

LIKE YOU SAID, MCDONAGH IS IN

CONTROL RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S

STILL, SOMETHING'S A LITTLE BIT

OFF BECAUSE THIS KID, LIKE I

SAY, HE GETS YOU IN THAT

CROSSHAIR, HE'S GOING TO PUT YOU

AWAY, VIC.

>> WELL, AXIOM WAS LOOKING FOR

THAT SUBMISSION, AND ABLE TO

COUNTER RIGHT OUT WAS MCDONAGH,

AND NOW JD MCDONAGH THE IRISH

ACE BACK INTO CONTROL, AND MAYBE

IT IS, MAYBE HE IS THE MOST

DANGEROUS.

HE IS SO CEREBRAL WHEN HE GETS

INTO THIS ATMOSPHERE.

HE WANTS TO SYSTEMATICALLY

DISSECT WHOEVER HE'S IN THE RING

WITH AS HE GOES UP AND GOES OVER

NASTY TUMBLE AS HIS MOMENTUM

CARRIED HIM.

>> YES, DID.

WHO DID THAT?

>> CARRIED HIM RIGHT INTO THAT

KICK TOO.

>> THIS KID WESLEY IS DEFINITELY

TRYING TO PULL HIS THING OUT.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THAT IRISH

ACE.

>> OH.

>> WE TALK ABOUT THAT IRISH ACE,

WHO'S WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO

WIN.

WE KNOW HE'S WILLING TO GO TO

THE END TO WIN A MATCHUP, VIC.

>> YOU DON'T BET AGAINST HIM.

HE'S THE ONE STANDING, AND NOW

DRAGON LEE COMING RIGHT BACK IN,

UP AND OVER-

>> OH YES.

>> NASTY LANDING ON HIS SHOULDER

WITH THAT SPANISH FLY.

MCDONAGH HAS DONE WHAT HE SAID

HE WOULD DO.

WIPE OUT EVERYONE IN THERE AND

THE DEVIL INSIDE.

>> YES.

>> COVER.

COULD IT BE HIS CROWNING

ACHIEVEMENT?

[YELLING]

>> DRAGUNOV CAUGHT THE

OFFICIAL'S ARM.

>> DRAGUNOV SAID, "IF ANYBODY

WINS, IS NOT GOING BE YOU."

THAT'S TWO GUYS THAT JUST DON'T

LIKE EACH OTHER, VIC.

IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

LET'S DO IT.

>> COME ON.

COME ON.

>> DRAGUNOV BACK IN-- OH, LOOK

AROUND, MCDONAGH, HE'S GOING TO

MEET ALL HIS FRIENDS.

EVERYBODY FOCUSED ON THE IRISH

ACE, AND IT'S DRAGUNOV, WHO HITS

THAT GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT IT'S NOW

DRAGUNOV WHO TRYING TO GET BACK

TO HIS FEET.

SO MUCH TAKEN OUT OF ALL FIVE OF

THESE SUPERSTARS.

THIS HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY

UNSTOPPABLE ACTION.

THIS A LITTLE BIT EARLIER

MCDONAGH ABLE TO HIT THAT

MOONSAULT.

RIGHT THERE MOMENTS AGO,

EVERYBODY SAME THING, TAKE OUT

THE IRISH ACE.

>> WHY?

WHY TAKE OUT THE IRISH ACE?

>> HE'S THE BIGGEST THREAT IN

THAT MOMENT.

>> IS HE THAT DANGEROUS?

IS HE--

>> YOU JUST SAID HE WAS

DANGEROUS, BOOK.

YOU JUST SAID HE WAS IN YOUR

FIVE.

HE'S THIS, HE'S THAT.

YES, HE'S DANGEROUS.

THAT STRATEGY.

IT WAS SMART.

>> OKAY.

OKAY.

I'LL GIVE YOU THAT, VIC.

>> NOW IT'S-- OH.

DRAGUNOV ALMOST SUFFERED THE

SAME FATE.

BUT LOOK AT ILJA, A SUPERSTAR

WHO LOVES PAIN.

HE WELCOMES IT.

HE WELCOMES THE CHAOS.

A TREMENDOUS FIGHTING SPIRIT ON

DISPLAY.

>> YES.

THIS COULD BE THAT NIGHT THAT

DRAGUNOV-

>> WHOA.

>> -PLAYS HIS GREATEST SYMPHONY

HERE TONIGHT, VIC.

THIS COULD BE IT RIGHT HERE.

>> WELL, FOR A LACK OF A BETTER

PHRASE COULD BE THIS SYMPHONY OF

DESTRUCTION AT SOME POINT.

LOOK AT AXIOM TRYING TO COUNTER,

TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM THOSE

SHARP ELBOWS, THOSE SHARP

STRIKES, AND HAD TO DO ONLY

THING-- HE COULD HAVE GOT CAUGHT

BY CONSTANTINE SPECIAL.

>> YES, INDEED.

DRAGUNOV LIKE THE MAESTRO RIGHT

NOW, HE'S CONDUCTING THIS THING

PERFECTLY.

>> TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AND FEEL

THE IMPACT.

>> YES.

>> TURNING AXIOM INSIDE OUT, BUT

LOOK AT THE IMPACT BACK INTO THE

RING.

DRAGUNOV RIGHT DOWN IN TO DRAGON

LEE, AND NOW WESLEY COUNTERS.

OH.

>> LET ME TELL YOU, DRAGUNOV

>> HE'S DUMPING A LOT OF

ADRENALINE RIGHT NOW, VIC.

I'M WONDERING IF IT'S GOING TO

PAY OFF FOR HIM IN THE LONG RUN.

>> WE GOT TO REMEMBER IT WAS

WESLEY WHO PROVIDED THE

OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL THESE

SUPERSTARS, AND DRAGUNOV THE ONE

IN CONTROL.

THE FIRE, BURNING IN THE BODY OF

DRAGUNOV, WITH WESLEY IN HIS

SIGHTS.

BIG SENTON OFF THE TOP, AND

DRAGUNOV RIGHT NOW.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN THAT

HE'S GOING THROUGH.

>> HE LOVES IT, BOOK.

>> RIGHT NOW HE'S JUST PUSHING

RIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN.

>> THAT'S WHAT HE TALKS ABOUT

PERSEVERING.

OH.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN HE'S

GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE.

MCDONAGH HAPPY WITH HIMSELF, BUT

TOOK HIS EYE OFF THE BALL.

THERE'S AXIOM, AND CAN AXIOM--

CAN HE BE THE ON TO DEFY-

>> THIS IS GOOD REACTION

TONIGHT.

>> -THE ODDS.

>> THIS COULD BE HIS NIGHT, VIC.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW,

IF AXIOM PULL IT OFF TONIGHT,

HE'S GOING TO SKYROCKET STRAIGHT

TO THE MOON.

GET HIM THAT ONE MAN SHIP

STRAIGHT TO-- OH, YES.

>> YOU TALKING ABOUT STRAIGHT TO

THE MOON, AERIAL INSANITY ON

DISPLAY BY AXIOM.

>> YES.

TOOK A LITTLE WORSE FOR WEAR

RIGHT THERE WITH THAT BIG SHOT

RIGHT THERE.

CHECK IT OUT.

CHECK OUT THE BALANCE.

CHECK OUT THE GRACE.

>> ONE WORD COMES TO MIND.

LANDING, VIC.

OH, YES.

RIGHT ON THE HIP.

>> TALKING ABOUT THE LANDING

THOUGH, DID THAT DO MORE DAMAGE

TO AXIOM?

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

HE FELL RIGHT ON HIS HIP.

THAT RIGHT THERE COULD TAKE HIM

STRAIGHT OUT OF THE GAME.

>> THEN THAT DOOR OPENING NOW

MAYBE FOR WESLEY, MAYBE FOR

DRAGON LEE.

NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP ON

THE LINE.

FIRST ONE TO GET A PITFALL.

FIRST ONE TO GAIN A SUBMISSION,

WALKS OUT OF LOS ANGELES WITH

THE NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP-

>> OH WOW.

>> -AND THREE SUPERSTARS ON THE

TOP ROPE.

THIS IS A PRECARIOUS POSITION

FOR EVERY MAN INVOLVED AS AXIOM

JUST PAID THE PRICE.

>> MAN, BUT YOU GOT A GUY THAT

DON'T MIND THROWING CAUTION TO

THE WIND AND THAT'S WES LEE.

BUT DRAGON LEE RIGHT NOW IS IN

PERFECT POSITION TO STRIKE.

>> DRAGON LEE SHOWING YOU WHAT

ALL THE HYPE HAS BEEN ABOUT.

RIGHT THROUGH WES LEE, AND

AGAIN, DOING MORE DAMAGE TO

HIMSELF.

>> WHAT A BAD LANDING THERE FOR

DRAGON LEE.

I HOPE THAT DIDN'T TAKE HIM OUT.

THAT LEFT KNEE TOOK A-- OH,

RIGHT ON THE APRON THERE.

>> IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NORTH

AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

WES LEE, THE CHAMPION, HE SAID

EVERYBODY BRING IT.

HE GAVE EVERYONE THEIR SPOT.

AXIOM HAD TO EARN IT THIS PAST

TUESDAY.

HE'S TRYING TO SHOWCASE WHY AND

NOW GETS HIMSELF A LITTLE

SOMETHING ABOUT MCDONAGH AND

DRAGUNOV.

>> DRAGUNOV TOOK THE WORSE FOR

WEAR ON THAT RIGHT THERE, VIC,

DDT ACTION.

>> WHAT IS AXIOM LOOKING FOR

HERE?

DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

OH.

KICK MISSED BUT CONNECTED ON

MCDONAGH.

DRAGUNOV, DRAGUNOV, DRAGUNOV,

DRAGUNOV.

NEAR FALL.

ROLLING RIGHT THROUGH.

COULD BE LOOKING FOR MAYBE A

SUBMISSION HERE, AXIOM.

ANKLE LOCK.

>> SO CLOSE.

SO CLOSE.

SO CLOSE, VIC.

SO CLOSE.

>> TRYING TO ROLL THROUGH.

ANKLE LOCK IS HELD IN.

OH.

MCDONAGH TOO QUICK.

NOW LOOK AT THE VICIOUS STRIKES

FROM THE IRISH ACE.

>> OH.

SHOULD BE ILLEGAL KICKS RIGHT

THERE, VIC.

OH WOW.

BACK INTO THE SUBMISSION FOR

AXIOM.

>> TRYING TO GET THAT STRETCH.

HE'S GOT THAT STRETCH.

THAT ABDOMINAL STRETCH FROM THE

GROUNDED POSITION.

HE'S VERY, VERY DEADLY, VIC.

>> OH.

LOOK AT THE VEINS IN THE

SHOULDER OF DRAGUNOV.

CAN AXIOM LOCK IN THE

SUBMISSION?

LOOK AT THE AWKWARD TORQUE.

WHAT?

DRAGUNOV JUST TRYING TO LOCK IN

A SUBMISSION IN HIS OWN.

AXIOM.

IF MCDONAGH TAPS, DRAGUNOV'S

GOING TO WIN.

AXIOM REALIZING IT.

FUJIWARA ARMBAR NOW LOCKED IN.

LOOK AT THE CHAIN OF SUBMISSION.

>> OH, YES.

>> YOU TALK ABOUT WILL, WHO'S

GOING TO TAP?

>> WHO'S GOING TO QUIT?

>> LOOK AT THE BODY MANIPULATION

NOW OF AXIOM.

IF THEY TAP, WHO'D WIN?

LOOK AT THESE TWO.

>> THESE GUYS ARE FOCUSED ON ONE

THING AND THAT'S KILLING EACH

OTHER, VIC.

JD MCDONAGH AND DRAGUNOV CANNOT

STAY FOCUSED FOR ONE SECOND.

>> ONE HEADBUTT AFTER ANOTHER.

NOW AXIOM TRYING TO LOCK IN A

SUBMISSION, MCDONAGH GETTING

LOCKED IN BY DRAGON LEE AND

ALMOST REACHING OUT FOR EACH

OTHER SO THE OTHER ONE DOESN'T

TAP.

THE OTHER ONE DOESN'T QUIT.

>> DRAGUNOV ROLL THROUGH.

OH, WHOA, WHOA.

COMPETITION-BASED TONIGHT.

>> SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX CATCHES,

AND NOW THERE COMES DRAGUNOV.

DRAGUNOV WITH A RAPID-FIRE

KNEES.

DRAGON LEE TRYING TO CREATE A

LITTLE SEPARATION, BUT THAT KNEE

TRIED TO GO THROUGH THE BODY OF

DRAGON LEE.

IT'S DRAGUNOV, SOMEHOW THAT

UNMATCHED RAGE INTO PLANTING

DRAGON LEE INTO THE COVER, THE

TO BREAK THINGS UP, SOMEHOW

MUSTER THE STRENGTH TO HIT THAT

STOMP.

SIT DOWN POWERBOMB.

NEW CHAMPION?

NO.

>> THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN

QUESTION WES LEE.

>> HOW CLOSE WAS THAT?

>> YOU CAN'T QUESTION WES LEE'S

HEART AND HIS DETERMINATION, HIS

WILL.

HE'S A KID THAT'S GOING TO

FIGHT.

HE COMES FROM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> HOW CLOSE WAS THAT LAST THREE

THOUGH, BOOK?

>> SO CLOSE.

LIKE I SAY, THAT WAS INSTINCT

RIGHT THERE.

KICKOUT.

THAT WAS AN INSTINCTUAL KICKOUT

RIGHT THERE.

>> WE TALKING ABOUT THE PRESSURE

DRAGON LEE KNOWS THAT HE'S ON

THE BIGGEST STAGE HE'S EVER BEEN

ON AS NOW AGAIN TRYING TO STACK

HIM UP IS MCDONAGH.

AXIOM ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY.

INTO THE COVER, AND AXIOM HAD TO

KICK.

>> DID YOU SEE THAT?

DID YOU SEE THAT MOONSAULT IN

MID-AIR RIGHT THERE JD MCDONAGH

PULLED IT OFF WITH STYLE AND

GRACE AND PRECISION.

>> IT DON'T MATTER ABOUT STYLE

AND GRACE, BOOK.

IT DON'T EVEN MATTER ABOUT

SKILL.

IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO WHAT

YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL NIGHT,

WILL.

WHO HAS THE WILL TO WIN?

>> I AGREE.

I AGREE 100%.

RIGHT NOW JD MCDONAGH IS WILLING

TO THROW ALL CAUTION TO THE WIND

TAKE A LOOK, YOU'RE TALK ABOUT

BALANCE, YOU TALK ABOUT STYLE,

YOU TALK ABOUT GRACE, AXIOM

HITTING THAT DDT INTO THE COVER

AND MCDONAGH-- YOU MIGHT HAVE

NOT BEEN ABLE TO SLIDE A PIECE

OF PAPER UNDER OUR REFEREE'S

HANDS, THAT'S HOW CLOSE IT WAS.

>> WOW.

I'LL TELL YOU, VIC, I'M BLOWING

UP JUST LOOKING AT THIS MATCHUP

RIGHT HERE.

>> WE SAID THIS MATCHUP COULD

STEAL THE SHOW.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE PACE, HOW

FAST THESE FIVE WERE GOING TO

MOVE.

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT EVERYONE,

ALL THESE KICKS.

THIS IS JUST SHOWING YOU WHAT

THE NORTH AMERICA CHAMPIONSHIP

MEANS.

>> OH, WOW.

THE GREATEST NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPIONS IN THE HISTORY OF NXT.

ABOUT THE STRENGTH, IT'S

UNBRIDLED FROM ILJA DRAGUNOV.

AT THIS POINT IN THE MATCHUP FOR

DRAGUNOV TO STILL HAVE THE

AMOUNT OF AGGRESSION HE HAD.

LOOK AT THIS, BOOM, PERFECTLY

PLACED.

I HEARD DANIEL CORMIER'S SITTING

BEHIND ME, EVEN LET OUT A BIG

"OH," WHEN HE SAW THAT STRIKE.

>> OH, YES.

EVERYBODY WANTED IT, VIC.

EVERYBODY WANTED IT.

I TELL YOU, DRAGUOV, NOBODY

WANTED IT MORE THAN HIM.

BUT THIS YOUNG MAN, WES LEE,

UNSANCTIONED MATCH.

INTRODUCING FIRST, GRAYSON

WALLER.

SEEING GRAYSON WALLER ONCE IS

SEEING HIM TWICE WITH HIS OWN

INSTAGRAM LIVE IN THE BOTTOM

LEFT CORNER.

WILL GRAYSON WALLER REGRET

ATTACKING JOHNNY GARGANO 16

MONTHS AGO, LET ALONE ATTACK HIM

AT HIS HOME?

THERE'S CANDICE AND QUILL ALMOST

ON QUEUE.

HE THINKS IT'S A JOKE.

THIS IS AIN'T A JOKE, BOOK.

>> JOHNNY'S GOING TO HAVE TO

ANSWER THAT QUESTION RIGHT

THERE.

ONE THING ABOUT THIS KID, THIS

KID, GRAYSON WALLER, HE DON'T

MIND GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN.

HE WANTS TO STEP ON YOUR TOES.

HE WANTS TO STEP ON THOSE TOES

AND KEEP ON WALKING.

THAT'S WHAT THIS KID IS ALL--

I'M NOT A FAN, BUT I DO LIKE HIS

TACTICS.

LOOKING FOR THAT VIRAL MOMENT

HERE TONIGHT.

BECOME THE FIRST TRIPLE-CROWN

CHAMPION OF NXT.

THERE WOULD BE NO JOHNNY

GARGANO IS READY TO RUN RIGHT

PASSED IT.

OH, THERE'S THAT SLINGSHOT

SPEAR, AND LOOK AT GARGANO,

DIDN'T GO FOR THE COVER.

HE WANTS TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF

GRAYSON WALLER HERE TONIGHT IN

LOS ANGELES.

>> LOOK, VIC.

IF SOMEONE COMES TO YOUR HOUSE,

YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A

PINFALL, YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR

A PAYOFF OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

YOU LOOKING TO BEAT THE HELL OUT

OF THIS MAN.

>> HE'S LOOKING TO SILENCE THAT

ARROGANT AUSSIE.

WE'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE

CAREERS I'VE MENTIONED, THERE IS

NO DEPTHS JOHNNY GARGANO IS NOT

WILLING TO GO IN THIS

ATMOSPHERE, AND YOU COULD SEE

GARGANO'S MIND STARTING TO ROLL.

HE'S PICKING UP SOME SPEED.

HE'S-- BOOM.

>> LET HIS EMOTIONS GET TO HIM

RIGHT THERE, VIC.

HE RAN RIGHT INTO THAT SHOT.

GRAYSON WALLER WAS WAITING.

>> NOW, WHAT'S ON WALLER'S MIND?

NXT LIVE EVENT-

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> -MEDIA APPEARANCE.

HE SAID HE WANTS TO HURT JOHNNY

GARGANO HERE TONIGHT.

>> EXACTLY.

>> HE WANTS TO END JOHNNY

GARGANO.

>> YOU JUST ANSWERED YOUR OWN

QUESTION, VIC.

THAT'S WHAT'S ON HIS MIND,

MAYHEM, DESTRUCTION, TAKE THIS

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

>> WE TALKING ABOUT DESTRUCTION.

WHAT ABOUT CONSTRUCTION WITH

GRAYSON WALLER PUTTING SOMETHING

TOGETHER THROUGH THAT DEVIANT

MIND OF HIS IN THIS MOMENT.

>> GRAYSON WALLER, HE WANTS TO

HURT JOHNNY GARGANO.

HE WANTS TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM

JOHNNY GARGANO.

>> 100%.

HE QUESTIONED JOHNNY GARGANO'S

HUNGER.

SAID, HE'S NOT AS HUNGRY AS HE

IS ANYMORE.

WANTS TO PROVE A POINT.

>> I THINK IT'S JUST EXCESSIVE

GARGANO, THE POPULARITY OF

GARGANO.

RIGHT NOW, WALLER WANTS TO TAKE

IT FROM HIM IN THE WORST WAY.

>> WALLER'S LOOKING DOWN ON THAT

BED OF CHAIRS, AND NOW WALLER

COULD BE THE ONE THAT GOES- OH,

GARGANO TRYING TO HOLD ON AND

OVER THAT TOP ROPE.

NOW, ROLLING IN.

OH, GOT CAUGHT WITH A STUNNER.

GARGANO HAD IT SCOUTED.

THESE TWO AREN'T GOING TO BE

VERY FRIENDLY WITH ONE ANOTHER.

ONCE THIS GETS GOING LITTLE BIT

INTO THIS MATCHUP, YOU'RE NOT

GOING TO SEE A LOT OF HEADLOCKS,

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE A LOT OF

TAKE DOWNS.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE

ENVIRONMENT GET USED TO THEIR

ADVANTAGE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE

STARTING TO SEE EVEN MORE NOW

FROM GRAYSON WALLER WHO

CONTINUES TO JUST LOOK AROUND

FOR ANYTHING HE CAN GET HIS

HANDS ON.

>> YOU TALK ABOUT CONSTRUCTION.

THE FURNITURE WILL BE MOVED

AROUND LIKE RIGHT NOW, TRYING TO

GET THIS DESK BACK TOGETHER.

>> BOOK, WALLER I THINK WAS

GOING TO TOSS GARGANO OVER THE

TOP IF HE COULD.

OH, GARGANO REALIZING WHAT HE'S

LOOKING DOWN, AND NOW WHAT'S ON

JOHNNY'S MIND?

>> GARGANO'S ON FIRE.

THE ADRENALINE RIGHT NOW IS

FLOWING THROUGH JOHNNY GARGANO.

YOU CAN SEE IT.

>> YOU TAKE A LOOK AT GARGANO.

[CROWD CHANTS "HOLY --"]

>> TAKE ONE MORE-- BAM.

A NASTY LOOK.

AGAIN, NOTHING THAT HAPPENS HERE

NXT, WWE ARE LIABLE FOR.

THIS IS UNSANCTIONED.

BOTH SIGNED THE CONTRACTS.

THEY COULD DO ANYTHING TO THE

OTHER WITH NO REPURCU--

>> SAY THAT, VIC.

SAY THAT UNSANCTIONED.

THAT LET YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT

THIS MAN GRAYSON WALLER IS ALL

ABOUT.

HE'S NOT GOING TO RUN AWAY FROM

A FIGHT.

HE'S GOING TO RUN STRAIGHT TO

THE FIGHT, AND THAT COULD BE

VERY DANGEROUS FOR SOMEONE LIKE

JOHNNY GARGANO WHO'S FIGHTING

WITH A LOT OF EMOTION HERE

TONIGHT, VIC.

>> TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HE JUST

DID TO JOHNNY GARGANO WITH THAT

HUGE SUPLEX.

YOU CAN SEE GARGANO WALKING

AROUND, AND I DON'T THINK

GARGANO REALLY GIVES A DAMN

ANYMORE.

JOHNNY, WILLING TO DO WHATEVER

IT TAKES TO HIMSELF TO DO ONE

THING, BOOK, THAT IS DESTROY,

THAT IS TO HUMBLE GRAYSON

WALLER.

[CROWD CHANTS, "JOHNNY TABLE"]

>> TRYING TO FIGHT THROUGH THE

PAIN RIGHT NOW, VIC.

YOU CAN SEE HE'S CLUTCHING AT

THAT LOWER BACK RIGHT NOW.

>> IF GARGANO'S GOING TO GO OUT,

HE'S GOING TO GO OUT IN A BLAZE

OF GLORY.

HE THOUGHT HE SAID GOODBYE TO

NXT IN DECEMBER OF 2021.

THAT'S WHEN GRAYSON WALLER LAID

HIM OUT WITH A CHAIR SHOT RIGHT

TO THE BACK.

NOW, GRAYSON WALLER WITH

SOMETHING ELSE ON HIS MIND.

>> OH, HE CAUGHT THAT KNEE RIGHT

TO THE FACE.

OH, WOW.

I NEED TO SEE THAT AGAIN, VIC.

>> AGAIN, THE OFFICIAL HERE JUST

TO COUNT THREE AND TO HEAR

SOMEONE SAY THEY QUIT.

HERE YOU GO, BOOK.

YOU WANTED IN ADVANCE, YOU GOT

IT.

>> OH, YES.

WOW.

TALKING ABOUT A SHOT.

>> SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD

FROM GRAYSON WALLER.

>> NO, HE'S A FIGHTER, VIC.

>> OH, WE KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING

AS HE'S MOCKING THE "HEART BREAK

KID" SHAWN MICHAELS.

HE'S SENDING A MESSAGE TO SHAWN

MICHAELS THROUGH JOHNNY GARGANO,

BUT GARGANO ANSWERED RIGHT BACK.

WALLER JUMPING KNEE CONNECTS.

GARGANO RIGHT BACK ENZIGURI.

>> YES, INDEED.

THIS THING IS GOING BACK AND

FORTH RIGHT NOW, AND THIS KID

GRAYSON WALLER, HE'S HOLDING HIS

OWN, VIC.

HE'S A FIGHTER, HE'S A FIGHTER.

>> WE BRING UP SHAWN MICHAELS.

I ALSO WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE,

THIS ALL STEMS FROM GRAYSON

WALLER NOT GETTING THE JOB DONE,

NOT WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP AT

VENGEANCE DAY.

PLACING THE BLAME ON EVERYONE

ELSE.

RIGHT TO THE RIGHT HAND.

THINK ABOUT THE PUNCHING, THINK

ABOUT THE STRIKING WALLER DOES.

GARGANO MIGHT'VE JUST ISOLATED

THAT.

>> THAT RIGHT THERE IS NOT GOING

MATTER NOW, VIC.

IT'S NOT GOING TO MATTER BECAUSE

THE RIBS OF JOHNNY GARGANO COULD

BE BROKEN.

>> WE SAW CANDICE LERAE, WWE

SUPERSTAR IN HER OWN RIGHT FROM

MONDAY NIGHT RAW.

QUILL THEIR ONE-YEAR-OLD SON

THEY HAVE BEEN JUST A PART OF

THIS AS MUCH BECAUSE GRAYSON

WALLER HAS MOCKED ANYONE

ASSOCIATED WITH GARGANO FOR

WEEKS.

CANDICE, QUILL, THEY'RE FIRED

UP.

THEY WANT TO SEE THIS COME TO AN

END HERE TONIGHT.

>> THEY SHOULD BE FIRED UP.

CANDICE, I'M SURE SHE'S GOING

THROUGH A LOT OF TURMOIL OVER

THESE LAST FEW WEEKS AT THE

BEHEST OF THIS ONE MAN, GRAYSON

WALLER.

>> NOW, AGAIN, JOHNNY FEELING

THE EFFECTS OF THIS MATCHUP

EARLY ON.

THIS SORT OF ENVIRONMENT, WHICH

HE HAS THRIVED IN.

A COUPLE OF EXTRA DEEP BREATHS

BECAUSE GARGANO-- JOHNNY

REALIZING.

>> SMART RIGHT THERE BY THIS

KID, GRAYSON WALLER.

>> JOHNNY REALIZED GRAYSON GOT

OFF THE TABLE, AND IT OPENS THE

DOOR NOW FOR WALLER.

>> GARGANO WALKED RIGHT INTO

THAT RIGHT THERE TOO, VIC.

>> THIS GOES BACK TO EMOTIONS.

NOW, UH-OH, POWERBOMB.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT THAT

EMOTIONAL RUSH THAT THIS KID IS

ROLLING ON.

>> WALLER KNOWS HE'S GOT TO PIN

GARGANO IN THE RING.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY HE CAN WIN.

HERE IN LOS ANGELES, THIS CAN'T

BE THE END OF THE GARGANO STORY,

AND HE GOT HIS LEFT SHOULDER UP

JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME.

>> YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO

SEPARATE GARGANO FROM HIS SENSES

BEFORE HE GET PINNED IN THE

MIDDLE OF THAT RING TONIGHT,

VIC.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHOLE LOT

MORE THAN THAT.

>> THIS IS JUST WHAT WALLER

WANTED.

HE WANTED JOHNNY GARGANO TO BE

LAID OUT, HE WANTED HIM TO BEG

FOR MERCY SO TO SPEAK.

>> HE'S GOT A ATTITUDE, VIC.

HE'S GOT A ATTITUDE LIKE NO

OTHER.

YES.

TAKING THIS KID TO THE WOODSHED,

VIC.

>> YOU COULD FEEL THE AIR HERE

AT STAND & DELIVER ALMOST COMING

OUT OF EVERYBODY BECAUSE GRAYSON

WALLER HAS TURNED THIS AROUND.

NOW, GRAYSON WALLER HEARING IT

FROM THE NXT UNIVERSE.

>> NOT JUST THAT, VIC.

YOU COULD FEEL THAT ADRENALINE

RUSH JUST SLOWLY, SLOWLY LEAVING

GARGANO.

THE MOMENTUM HAS SHIFTED.

>> NOW THROUGH THAT CHAIR, THAT

CHAIR JUST DAMAGED.

INTO THE COVER, AND A KICK OUT,

BOOK.

LOOK AT THE STEEL CHAIR.

THE STEEL CHAIR WAS JUST BENT IN

ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT

POSITIONS.

TAKE ONE MORE LOOK AT THE FORCE

THAT WALLER DROVE GARGANO

THROUGH THE CHAIRS WITHIN--

GRAYSON SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE-

>> LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHINGM,

VIC.

>> -WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER TO

GARGANO'S LOWER BACK?

>> THAT ADRENALINE DUMP IS

SOMETHING REAL.

IT COULD TAKE YOU ALL THE WAY TO

THE END, BUT SOMETIME IT COULD

BE THAT ONE THING, THAT ONE

THING THAT TAKE EVERYTHING OUT

OF YOU AT THE SAME TIME.

>> BOOKER, THIS HAS TO BE HARD

FOR QUILL, THIS HAS TO BE HARD

FOR CANDICE TO WATCH.

GRAYSON WALLER AND GRAYSON LOVES

IT.

>> QUILL WON'T REMEMBER.

>> GRAYSON'S LOVING IT.

>> QUILL WON'T REMEMBER ANY OF

THIS.

THAT'S THE GOOD PART ABOUT THIS.

DON'T LET THE BABY SEE THIS.

>> HOW LOW CAN YOU GO, BOOK?

LOOK AT WALLER.

THIS IS GETTING REAL HARD TO

WATCH AT THIS MOMENT.

>> IT'S UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL IS

WHAT IT IS, VIC.

>> HAVE A LOOK AT YOUR DAD,

QUILL.

>> PUT YOURSELF, BOOK, IN JOHNNY

GARGANO'S SHOES-

>> I CAN'T.

>> -FOR A MOMENT.

>> I CAN'T.

I SAID IT.

GRAYSON WALLER, HE CROSSED THE

LINE.

>> NO, COME ON.

YOU KNOW HOW PERSONAL THIS IS.

BUT REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS.

OH.

RIGHT BACK.

GARGANO REALIZING, STARRING AND

LOOKING AT QUILL.

HE'S DOING THIS FOR MORE THAN

JUST HIMSELF.

>> GARGANO BETTER USE THAT KENDO

STICK.

>> YES, GET YOU SOME.

>> NO RULES.

NO RULES, VIC.

>> OH, NO, NO, NO.

JOHNNY.

>> YOU MADE A MISTAKE.

YOU JUST MADE THE BIGGEST

MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE.

>> WOW.

>> WELL, YOU SEE THE BACK OF

GRAYSON WALLER.

>> OH MY GOD, HE IS LIT UP, VIC.

>> COULD BE ONE FINAL BEAT FOR

JOHNNY GARGANO.

INTO THE COVER.

[CROWD SHOUTS "ONE, TWO"]

>> WHAT?

GIVE THE DEVIL HIS CREDIT.

WALLER WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT, BUT

WALLER'S BACK IS DESTROYED.

ONE FINAL BEAT, BANG.

HIT PERFECTLY.

>> THOUGHT THAT WAS IT, VIC.

>> IT WAS NOT.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION.

GARGANO GOING UP, GOING AROUND,

TRYING TO LOCK IN THE GARGANO

ESCAPE.

NOW THIS, BOOK, MAY JUST BE IN.

HOW SWEET WOULD IT BE FOR

GRAYSON WALLER TO TAP?

>> THIS IS LIKE PUTTING ICING ON

THE CAKE RIGHT THERE.

>> TO THE EYES.

>> OH NO.

YES.

>> THE REFEREE CAN'T DO ANYTHING

BECAUSE IT'S ALL LEGAL.

GRAYSON WALLER, UP AND OVER.

>> THIS KID WANTS-

>> THIS HASN'T BEEN PRETTY AT

ALL.

>> LOOK AT THE BACK OF GRAYSON

WALLER.

IT'S LIKE CHOPPED-UP HAMBURGER,

BUT HE'S STILL IN THE FIGHT.

>> WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE

GETTING READY TO WITNESS BETWEEN

THESE TWO ALL WEEK LONG WHEN YOU

AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS

UNSANCTIONED MATCHUP.

YOU CAN SEE THE BACK OF GRAYSON

WALLER.

YOU'VE SEEN THE RISKS BOTH THESE

MEN HAVE BEEN WILLING TO TAKE.

YOU TAKE A LOOK AT NXT UNIVERSE

AGAIN ON THEIR FEET HERE FOR

STAND & DELIVER.

>> YES, THE LENGTHS THAT THIS

MAN, GRAYSON WALLER, IS WILLING

TO GO TO.

>> JOHNNY CAN'T EVEN STAND.

>> HE WANT'S TO EMBARRASS THIS

KID, JOHNNY GARGANO.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO JUST BEAT

HIM, HE WANTS TO HUMILIATE

JOHNNY GARGANO.

>> HE WANTS TO DO IT ON A STAGE

LIKE WRESTLEMANIA SATURDAY.

HE WANTS TO DO IT IN FRONT OF

JOHNNY'S WIFE.

IN FRONT OF JOHNNY'S FAMILY,

INCLUDING HIS ONE-YEAR-OLD SON.

WALLER CAN BARELY WALK, BUT

GARYSON--

>> OH, COAST-TO-COAST

TIME, VIC.

WE IN HOLLYWOOD.

>> NO RISK HE WON'T TAKE FOR

THAT VIRAL MOMENT.

>> PACIFIC COAST.

OH, WAIT, BABY.

WE JUST TOOK A RIDE.

[CROWD SHOUTS "ONE, TWO"]

>> GARGANO JUST KICKED OUT.

>> WOW.

>> BOOK, YOU LIKE TO USE THE

WORD FIGHT.

THIS FIGHT IS CONTINUING.

>> IT IS, IT IS.

>> WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE,

THOUGH, TO KEEP THE OTHER ONE

DOWN?

[CROWD CHANTS "THIS IS AWESOME"]

>> LIKE I SAID, GRAYSON WALLER

JUST TOOK A RIDE DOWN TO PACIFIC

COAST HIGHWAY.

THAT DIDN'T WORK.

>> BOOK, BOOK, BOOK.

COME ON.

>> THIS YOUR GUY?

>> BOOK.

>> DON'T ASK ME, MAN.

IT'S YOUR GUY.

VIC?

>> JOHNNY'S NOT MOVING RIGHT

HERE IN FRONT OF US.

>> OF COURSE, HE'S NOT MOVING.

>> WE TALK ABOUT THOSE VIRAL

MOMENTS.

WALLER'S LOOKING FOR ONE.

HE'S LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ONE.

>> MY HOUSE, JOHNNY.

MY HOUSE.

>> OH, GARGANO SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY,

STAYING IN THIS.

WHAT'S JOHNNY DOING?

YES, YES.

YES.

>> WHOA.

[CROWD CHANTS "HOLY --"]

>> YOU HEAR GRAYSON WALLER

SCREAMING.

BOOK, YOU GOT ME?

>> I GOT YOU.

>> DESTROYING OUR-- HEY, GOING

A LOW BLOW.

>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

IT'S LEGAL, VIC.

COME ON.

>> I KNOW IT'S LEGAL.

>> IT'S LEGAL.

>> NOW COMING IN PINNING THAT

STUNNER.

>> WOW.

>> INTO THE COVER.

[CROWD SHOUTS "ONE, TWO"]

>> THAT COULD BE IT.

THAT COULD BE IT.

>> GARGANO, AGAIN, JUST ABLE TO

KICK OUT.

>> WHAT A KICK-OUT, VIC.

THESE TWO YOUNG MEN ARE FIGHTING

TO THE END.

>> I'M LOOKING AROUND, OUR

TABLES BUSTED, YOU GOT KNOCKED

DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW IF MY AUDIO'S EVEN

WORKING RIGHT NOW.

THEY DESTROYED MY HEADSET.

>> I CAN HEAR YOU.

YOU'RE GOOD, YOU'RE GOOD.

RIGHT NOW GRAYSON WALLER, LIKE I

SAY, VIC, HE'S DOING EVERYTHING

TO PUT JOHNNY GARGANO OUT.

>> OH, WOW.

>> WITH ONE THUNDEROUS CHAIR

SHOT, WALLER SILENCING LOS

ANGELES.

>> OH MAN.

>> THE REFEREE CAN'T DO A DAMN

THING ABOUT IT.

>> GRAYSON WALLER JUST COLLAPSED

RIGHT THERE.

THIS THING RIGHT NOW, VIC.

>> FOR 16 MONTHS I RUN NXT.

YOU ARE NOTHING.

YOU ARE NOT ON MY LEVEL.

>> THERE'S NO DEPTHS, WE SAID,

GARGANO WASN'T WILLING TO GO.

BOOK, IT'S ALL LEGAL.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M NOT MAD AT JOHNNY GARGANO.

>> THERE'S A PAYBACK.

OH WOW.

>> FROM 16 MONTHS AGO, FROM THE

FRONT YARD, FOR QUILL, FOR

CANDICE.

HE GOT ANOTHER ONE.

>> OH MY GOD, MAN.

>> HE IS BEATING WALLER TO HELL.

I'VE NEVER SEEN JOHNNY GARGANO

IN THIS STATE OF MIND EVER IN MY

LIFE.

>> OH, WOW.

INTO THE GARGANO ESCAPE.

WALLER, SQUEEZE, SQUEEZE.

WALLER HAD TO TAP.

[BELL RINGS]

[JOHNNY GARGANO'S MUSIC PLAYS]

>> HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY

SUBMISSION, JOHNNY GARGANO.

>> I GOT NO MONITOR.

I GOT NO TABLE, BUT I'M LOOKING

UP IN THE RING RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN

THAT LOOK IN JOHNNY GARGANO'S

EYES.

>> BIG PROPS.

>> EFFORT.

>> BIG PROPS TO JOHNNY GARGANO

GOING OUT THERE FIGHTING NOT

JUST FOR HIMSELF, VIC, BUT FOR

HIS FAMILY.

YOU GOT TO LOVE IT.

WOW.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> WE SAW A LOT OF DIFFICULT

THINGS IN THIS MATCHUP, BUT LOOK

AT CANDICE LERAE.

SHE HAD ENOUGH OF WHAT GRAYSON

WALLER PUT HER FAMILY THROUGH,

AND BOY DID SHE GOT TO TOWN ON

GRAYSON WALLER.

>> OH, YES.

>> THAT WAS UNTIL WALLER WAS

ABLE TO GET A ONE-UP, AND IT

WASN'T THE BIGGEST MISTAKE, IT

WAS HIS.

IT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF

WALLER'S CAREER 16 MONTHS AGO.

WE TALK ABOUT VIRAL MOMENTS,

GRAYSON WALLER DELIVERED A FEW

OF THOSE TONIGHT INCLUDING

COAST-TO-COAST.

IN THAT MOMENT, JOHNNY GARGANO

COULD'VE BEEN WIPED OUT, AND

THEN BAM, THAT PATENTED

ROLLING-IN STUNNER FROM GRAYSON

WALLER-

>> SO CLOSE, SO CLOSE.

>> -BUT JOHNNY GARGANO WOULD NOT

BE DENIED.

JOHNNY GARGANO THEN WOULD GO OUT

AND JUST BEAT DOWN GRAYSON

WALLER WITH CHAIR SHOT, AFTER

CHAIR SHOT AND FINALLY GRAYSON

WALLER HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP.

HOW GOOD IT MUST FEEL FOR

JOHNNY.

AS A SUPERSTAR, HE WILL MOVE ON,

BUT AS THE SYMBOL OF NXT, JOHNNY

GARGANO WILL LIVE FOREVER.

WHAT A MOMENT FOR INDI HARTWELL,

WHO CERTAINLY HAS FOLLOWED THE

WAY OF JOHNNY GARGANO TO HER OWN

CHAMPIONSHIP DREAMS HERE TONIGHT

AT STAND & DELIVER.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> WHERE THE HELL DID HE COME

FROM, HUH?

>> WE GAVE HIM EVERYTHING UNDER

THE SUN AND WHAT?

>> I LET YOU DOWN, MAN.

I LET THE FAMILY DOWN.

>> YOU DIDN'T LET ANYBODY DOWN.

WE'RE A TEAM.

HOW MANY TIMES I GOT TO TELL YOU

THAT?

RIGHT?

>> YES, BOYS.

WE'RE BACK WITH TONY D AND

STACKS FOR ANOTHER PD EXCLUSIVE.

>> LOOKING FOR A LOVELY LITTLE

SCOOPY SCOOP HERE.

>> SCOOP.

>> BOYS, IF WE MAY, YOUR HOPES

AND DREAMS OF BECOMING THE NXT

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS HAVE JUST

COME CRASHING DOWN.

YOU MUST BE FEELING TERRIBLE.

TELL US ALL ABOUT IT.

>> IT WASN'T OUR NIGHT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE EXCUSES,

BUT STAND & DELIVER, WHATEVER.

WHERE WE COME FROM, WE'RE NOT

QUITTERS.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

>> WOW.

VERY, VERY MOTIVATING WORDS FROM

THE DON HIMSELF.

>> I'M MOVED.

>> DON'T LISTEN TO THESE TWO

NUTS.

I LET YOU DOWN AND I LET THE

FAMILY DOWN.

>> HOW MANY TIMES I GOT TO TELL

YOU, HUH?

GET THAT OUT OF YOUR HEAD.

WE'RE A TEAM.

>> YOU'RE A TEAM.

THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT.

BOOKER AND VIC, THAT'S ALL WE'VE

GOT TIME FOR HERE IN THE LOCKER

ROOM.

>> TONY AND STACKS HAVE PROVEN

THAT THE ONLY TEAM THAT CAN BEAT

GALLUS IS WELL, YOURS TRULY.

>> HEY.

>> WHAT?

>> YOU'RE GOING TO COME IN HERE

AND ASK STUPID QUESTIONS LIKE

THAT AND MAKE A COMMENT, HUH?

>> DON'T POINT AT HIM.

AS WELL DON'T USE THAT TONE.

[CROSSTALK]

>> BOOK, WHAT A NIGHT IT HAS

BEEN AND WE STILL HAVE TWO MORE

CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES HERE AT

STAND & DELIVER.

>> HEY, MAN.

WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.

[BELL RINGS]

>> THE FOLLOWING CONTEST

SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL IS FOR

THE NXT WOMEN'S TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONSHIP.

INTRODUCING FIRST THE

CHALLENGERS, ALBA FYRE AND ISLA

DAWN.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO DAWN AND

FYRE, THEY CERTAINLY HAVE SEEMED

TO PUT SOME SORT OF HEX ON NXT.

LOOK AT THE OFFICIALS WE'VE SEEN

WHAT ISLA DAWN HAS DONE.

TATUM PAXLEY, IVY NILE, MAYBE

THE ENTIRE TAG TEAM DIVISION.

THIS IS SCARY.

>> YES, THE UNKNOWN, THE

MYSTIQUE-

>> THE UNHOLY UNION,

SO TO SPEAK.

>> THE MYSTIQUE OF THESE TWO

RIGHT HERE.

DAWN AND FYRE TONIGHT ARE

LOOKING TO BURN IT DOWN AND WALK

AWAY AND THE NEW.

OH, YES, IT COULD HAPPEN.

IT DEFINITELY COULD HAPPEN.

>> THEIR OPPONENTS, ACCOMPANIED

BY JOSH BRIGGS AND BROOKS

JENSEN, THEY ARE THE NXT WOMEN'S

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, FALLON

HENLEY AND KIANA JAMES.

>> I DON'T WANT TO THROW OUT THE

OBVIOUS, BOOK, BUT NO WAY THE

CHAMPIONS WILL BE ON THE SAME

PAGE TONIGHT.

THEY'RE ALREADY BICKERING AS

THEY COME THROUGH.

FALLON HENLEY TRYING TO GET

KIANA JAMES TO TELL BROOKS

JENSEN, BUT THEN THERE WAS THE

KISS HEARD AROUND THE WORLD, AND

NOW-- ALREADY SHOVING EACH

OTHER, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WAS

JAMES TRYING TO SAVE HENLEY IN

THE EARLY GOING OF THIS MATCHUP.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU 100%, VIC.

YOU GOT TO BE TOTALLY FOCUSED.

WHEN YOU GOT BROOKS JENSEN AND

JOSH BRIGGS OUT HERE HAVING FUN

LIKE IT'S A PARTY, NO, NO, NO,

IT CAN'T HAPPEN LIKE THAT.

>> RIGHT NOW, THERE IS THE

BELL.

THIS MATCH OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY

FOR THE NXT WOMEN'S TAG TEAM

TITLES.

OF COURSE, WE CROWNED A NEW NXT

WOMEN'S CHAMPION EARLIER

TONIGHT.

YOU JUST SAW HER A FEW MOMENTS

AGO, THAT BEING IN INDI

HARTWELL.

WILL WE SEE NEW CHAMPIONS HERE

THIS EVENING ONCE AGAIN?

A QUICK UP AND DOWN.

INTO THE COVER.

HOOK OF THE LEG, AND A NEAR FALL

TO RETAIN THE TITLE.

THERE IS INNER TURMOIL FOR

FALLON HENLEY.

SHE WANTS TO STAY A CHAMPION,

BUT JUST WANTS TO BE HONEST WITH

BROOKS JENSEN.

>> ONE THING WE KNOW ABOUT

FALLON HENLEY, SHE'S A BOSS.

SHE KNOWS ABOUT GOING OUT THERE

AND GET THE PAPERWORK DONE.

TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE A TEST.

>> WELL, A TAG WAS MADE, AND

HENLEY DIDN'T REALIZE IT THAT

ALBA FYRE IS INDEED LEGAL.

>> OH, WOW.

>> DEFEATED TWO OTHER TEAMS, DID

THE CHALLENGERS, TO EARN THE

OPPORTUNITY AT THIS MATCHUP HERE

AT STAND & DELIVER, AND A

VICIOUS KNEE RIGHT TO THE BACK

OF THE NECK AND ANOTHER NEAR

FALL.

ALMOST CROWNING NEW TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONS.

LOOK, WE'VE SEEN THEM

MANIPULATE, AS WE TALKED ABOUT

PAXLEY AND NILE.

WE'VE SEEN THEM TRY TO DRIVE A

WEDGE BETWEEN OTHERS, THAT BEING

DAWN AND FYRE.

THEY DIDN'T REALLY HAVE TO DO

MUCH AGAINST THE CHAMPIONS HERE

TONIGHT BECAUSE, AGAIN, THEY ARE

NOT ON THE SAME PAGE SINCE THE

BEGINNING OF THIS MATCHUP.

>> YES, WE SAW-

>> COVER, COVER, COVER.

HOOK OF BOTH LEGS AND ANOTHER

NEAR FALL.

>> WE SAW ALBA FYRE AND ISLA

DAWN AT THE BEGINNING, IT SEEMED

LIKE IT WAS TURMOIL BETWEEN

THOSE TWO, BUT FOR ME, VIC, IT

SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE CUT FROM

THE SAME CLOTH, AND NOW AS A TAG

TEAM, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY COULD

BE THE MOST DOMINANT TAG TEAM

HERE IN NXT.

>> WE TALK ABOUT THE SITUATION

FOR KIANA JAMES AND FALLON

HENLEY, I'M SURE IALA DAWN AND

ALBA FYRE ARE PROBABLY UPSET

THAT THEY DIDN'T SCHEME UP

KIANA'S INTENTIONS THEMSELVES.

ALLEGED INTENTIONS, I MIGHT ADD.

>> LIKE I SAY, VIC, YOU GOT TO

STAY FOCUSED, AND RIGHT NOW IT'S

ABOUT STANDING AND DELIVER.

WHO'S GOING TO WALK AWAY THE TAG

TEAM CHAMPION?

OH, SO CLOSE.

>> COVER, COVER, COVER.

THE TANDEM OFFENSE AND ANOTHER

NEAR FALL.

>> SO CLOSE.

>> KIANA JAMES JUST ABLE TO GET

IN, BUT KIANA JAMES STILL

FAVORING HER BACK FROM JUST

BEFORE THE BELL IN THIS MATCHUP.

OH, TAKEN A NASTY FALL.

SHE'S TRYING TO GET BACK ON THE

SAME PAGE.

SHE'S TRYING TO GET BACK INTO

THIS MATCHUP.

>> ALBA FYRE IS LOOKING TO

TAKEOVER, LIKE I SAID, IF NOT

THE SINGLES DIVISION, THIS TAG

TEAM DIVISION WILL DO JUST FINE.

>> SWING AND A MISS, AND HENLEY

NOW.

OH, DOUBLE ALMOST KNOCKING

HERSELF BACK AND ALMOST KNOCKING

HERSELF OUT, BUT SO MUCH

STICKING GOUT.

>> SO CLOSE TO TAG, VIC.

SO CLOSE.

>> SHE'S LISTENING TO JENSEN.

SHE'S LISTENING TO BRIGGS.

SHE'S RIGHT THERE.

SHE'S REACHING OUT.

ISLA DAWN REALIZING THAT THIS

GOLDEN MOMENT COULD BE SLIPPING

THROUGH THE DARK HANDS OF FYRE

AND DAWN.

GET THERE AND MADE THE TAG.

>> HERE WE GO.

HERE COMES THIS OTHER.

THAT SECOND BOSS IS IN.

OH, YES.

>> KIANA JAMES CLEANING UP

EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW.

KIANA JAMES HAS SEEN SOME EVIL

IN THE ROOMS SHE'S BEEN

CONDUCTING HER BUSINESS

DEALS.

SHE'S GONE UP AGAINST SOME SHADY

INDIVIDUALS, BUT SHE'S NEVER

GONE UP AGAINST ANYTHING LIKE

FYRE AND DAWN.

>> RIGHT NOW, SHE'S ON FIRE,

THOUGH, VIC, RIGHT NOW, IT'S ONE

OF THE THINGS.

YOU CAN HAVE PROBLEMS, MAYHEM

OUTSIDE THE RING, BUT INSIDE THE

RING IF YOU CAN PULL IT ALL

TOGETHER FOR THAT ONE MOMENT, IT

COULD BE GREAT.

CHECK IT OUT.

OH, YES.

>> TAKING OUT THE FIELD AGAIN

FOR JAMES.

I KNOW FALLON HENLEY SEEMS

UNCERTAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING

THAT'S GONE ON EVEN SINCE THE

BEGINNING BUT SHE'S GOT TO BE

LOOKING RIGHT NOW.

SHE'S GOT TO BE THINKING ABOUT

WANTING TO MAINTAIN AND RETAIN

THE NXT WOMEN'S TAG TEAM TITLES.

>> I WAS TALKING ABOUT MINDING

YOUR BUSINESS, VIC.

THAT'S ONE THING THAT THIS TEAM

NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT, MINDING

THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

THINK ABOUT WHAT THE JOB AT HAND

IS AND THAT'S HOLDING ON TO

THOSE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

>> COVER OFF THE BELLY TO BACK.

LEFT SHOULDER GETTING UP.

LOOK, FALLON'S INTUITION MAYBE

WAS RIGHT.

SHE THOUGHT JAMES WAS UP THE

SHENANIGANS AND SHE REALLY

WASN'T.

>> WHO CARES, VIC?

WHO CARES?

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

NOW, SHE'S LOOKING AT A NAME

LIKE SEBASTIAN.

SHE'S GOT A BLOCK OUT THAT

NOISE.

IS THAT GOING TO BE TOO MUCH FOR

THE CHAMPIONS TO OVERCOME?

THEY SEEM TO BE ROCKING AND

ROLLING RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU KNOW

HOW THINGS CAN CHANGE IN A

HEARTBEAT.

COVER AND ANOTHER NEAR FALL.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY ABOUT

GIRLFRIENDS, YOU GO LOOKING

THROUGH YOUR MAN'S PHONE, YOU'RE

GOING TO FIND SOMETHING, IF

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IT.

>> HENLEY TRYING TO GET BACK

INTO THE MATCH, ABLE TO CATCH

THE RIGHT FOOT OF FYRE, AND

ANSWERS BACK WITH A BIG RIGHT

HAND, AND THE CHAMPIONS NOW,

MAYBE THEY HAVE FOUND THAT

RHYTHM IN THE MATCHUP.

RIGHT BACK IN AND TAKING IT DONE

WITH A LOT OF FORCE, WAS HENLEY.

ANOTHER SWING AND A MISS.

>> RIDING THE SAME PAGE RIGHT

NOW, KIANA JAMES AND FALLON

HENLEY.

>> HENLEY AND JAMES, THEY KNOW

WHAT SORT OF DARKNESS THE

WOMEN'S DIVISION COULD FALL INTO

IF THE TITLES CHANGE HANDS, AND

THE REFEREE'S BEING DISTRACTED

BECAUSE OF JAMES, NOT REALIZING

IT'S TWO-ON-ONE ASSAULT.

>> BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, VIC.

BY ANY MEANS.

THAT'S WHAT ISLA DAWN IS ABOUT.

THAT'S WHAT ALBA FYRE IS ALL

ABOUT.

WINNING.

>> I WANT TO ASK YOU THIS TOO.

WHAT IF FYRE AND DAWN BECOME

CHAMPIONS?

WHAT IF THAT DARK CLOUD NOW

HANGS OVER THE WOMEN'S DIVISION?

>> YES, IT WILL BE A DARK DAY IN

THE TAG TEAM DIVISION, BUT ISLA

DAWN AND ALBA FYRE WILL BE IN

THAT POSITION THAT THEY'D LOVE

TO BE IN.

>> THAT WAS A NASTY LANDING.

>> HERE WE GO.

OH, YES.

>> RIGHT BACK AROUND A LITTLE

BLOCKBUSTER INTO THE COVER.

HOOK ON BOTH LEGS.

ISLA DAWN ABLE TO KICK OUT AT

ABOUT TWO AND A HALF.

>> WHAT A GREAT MOVE, THOUGH, BY

FALLON HENLEY.

>> THE PRESENCE OF MIND, UP,

TAKING HER DOWN.

>> EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN A

THREE-COUNT, VIC.

>> FOR A MOMENT, I THOUGHT

HENLEY WAS GOING TO TRY TO COME

OUT TOWARDS ALBA FYRE AND

ISOLATE HER EVEN MORE.

TURNED HER ATTENTION IN A SPLIT

SECOND BACK TO ISLA DAWN.

BRIGGS AND JENSEN BESIDES

THEMSELVES, WITH THE OFFICIAL

WHO, AGAIN, IS NOT SEEING THINGS

BECAUSE OF THE MANIPULATION

BETWEEN DAWN AND FYRE IN THIS

MATCHUP.

>> NO, NO, VIC.

THAT'S THE EFFICACY IN THIS TAG

TEAM RIGHT THERE.

ISLA DAWN AND ALBA FYRE WORKING

PERFECTLY TOGETHER.

LIKE I SAID, THEY COULD BE THE

ULTIMATE TAG TEAM HERE IN NXT.

OH, YES.

>> THIS UNHOLY UNION COULD BE

THREE SECONDS AWAY.

JAMES SAW IT SLIPPING AWAY, AND

YOU SEE JENSEN, YOU SEE BRIGGS

ON THE OUTSIDE TRYING TO GIVE

THAT EXTRA ADVANTAGE TO THE

CHAMPIONS.

>> YOU CAN TELL KIANA JAMES DOES

NOT WANT TO GIVE UP THOSE

CHAMPIONSHIPS EASILY HERE

TONIGHT.

TONIGHT, IT'S ABOUT TRYING TO

GET ON THE SAME PAGE, TRYING TO

FIND THAT LEVITY, AND RIGHT NOW

DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.

>> BRIGGS LOOKING UP.

BRIGGS CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

JENSEN CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

JENSEN'S TRYING TO RALLY KIANA

JAMES.

>> TOO MUCH TALKING.

TOO MUCH TALKING OUTSIDE, VIC.

TOO MUCH TALKING.

TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS.

>> WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM

TO DO?

>> TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS, VIC.

>> THEY DON'T WANT TO GET

DISQUALIFIED.

THEY WANT TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY

AND NOW BEING ABLE TO GET BACK

IN.

A LOT GOING ON OVER IN THAT

CORNER.

TAG.

THERE'S A TAG.

KIANA JAMES IS LEGAL.

>> I SAW THAT.

>> BOOK, JAMES IS LEGAL.

OH.

WHAT IS THE CONNIVING KIANA UP

TO NOW?

BOOK.

>> WORKING ON THE SAME PAGE

RIGHT NOW.

>> THEY ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.

COVER TO RETAIN.

ISLA DAWN.

TAKE NOTHING AWAY FROM THAT

MOMENT.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT.

I THOUGHT THEY FINALLY GOT ON

THE SAME PAGE.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE ABLE FOR A

MOMENT TO SYNC UP.

>> ISLA DAWN JUST HAPPENED TO BE

AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT

TIME RIGHT THERE, VIC, AND

THAT'S WHAT THE TAG TEAM

DIVISION IS ALL ABOUT.

YOU GOT TO ISOLATE THAT ONE MAN,

GET HIM IN THE RIGHT POSITION IF

YOU'RE GOING TO GET THAT

PINFALL.

>> JAMES BACK TO THE EYES,

RIPPING AT THE FACE.

GREAT GORD BUSTER BY ALBA FYRE.

TAG WAS MADE.

THE REFEREE DID NOT SEE THE

THUMB INTO THE EYE.

>> DOUBLE KNEES RIGHT THERE,

VIC.

>> OH, DOUBLE SUPER KICK.

ANOTHER COVER, ANOTHER COUNT.

>> KIANA JAMES, THIS COULD BE

IT.

>> ALBA FYRE.

>> WHOA, SO CLOSE.

>> JUST ABLE TO OVERPOWER FYRE,

WAS HENLEY, AND YOU CAN SEE

BRIGGS.

BRIGGS IS ALMOST SWEATING

THROUGH THAT VELOUR THAT HE'S

WEARING.

>> A LOT OF CHEERLEADING GOING

ON ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING,

VIC, BUT LIKE I SAID, THAT COULD

BE A DISTRACTION AT THE SAME

TIME.

THE MENTAL FOCUS IS JUST NOT

THERE.

>> THAT ALSO COULD BE WHAT PUTS

THE CHAMPIONS OVER THE EDGE,

WHAT PUTS THEM PAST THE FINISH

LINE TO HELP THEM RETAIN THE

TITLE.

>> THAT CHEERLEADING?

>> WAIT.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

KIANA'S--

>> PLEASE, GIVE ME THE

BAG, BROOKS.

I NEED IT.

>> HEY, HEY.

DON'T DO IT.

>> I NEED IT TO WIN.

>> DON'T DO IT.

>> I NEED IT.

>> DON'T DO IT.

>> JUST GIVE HER THE BAG.

>> LISTEN TO HER.

LISTEN TO HER.

DON'T DO IT.

>> WHAT'S IN THE DAMN BAG?

>> PLEASE GIVE ME THE BAG.

>> YOU BETTER NOT DO THIS, MAN.

YOU BETTER NOT DO IT.

>> WELL, WE TALK ABOUT WANTING

TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY FOR

HENLEY.

I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHAT

JAMES WAS ASKING FOR AND WHY.

BRIGGS DIDN'T LIKE IT, BUT DAWN,

FYRE.

OH, BACKSTABBER HOLDING ONTO

JAMES.

FYRE OFF THE TOP.

>> OH, WHOA.

PERFECT TIMING.

>> NO, NO.

COVER.

OH, MY.

[BELL RINGS]

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> OH, NO.

BOOK.

[ALBA FYRE'S AND ISLA DAWN'S

MUSIC PLAYS]

>> HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS AND

NEW NXT WOMEN'S TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONS, ALBA FYRE AND ISLA

DAWN.

>> THAT DARK CLOUD ROLLING IN,

NOW IN THE NXT TAG TEAM

DIVISION.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO THIS

MOMENT.

BRIGGS SAYING NO.

WE'VE SEEN WHAT'S BEEN IN THE

BAG IN THE PAST.

KIANA JAMES TRYING TO CUT

CORNERS.

THAT'S NOT HOW BUSINESS GETS

HANDLED FOR HENLEY, BRIGGS, AND

JENSEN, BUT IT OPENED THE DOOR

FOR THE CHALLENGERS TO TAKE FULL

ADVANTAGE.

JENSEN COULDN'T GET IN BECAUSE

IT COULD'VE BEEN A

DISQUALIFICATION.

BRIGGS KNEW THAT, AND IN THE

END, THAT DARK CLOUD IS NOW

HANGING OVER THE NXT WOMEN'S TAG

TEAM DIVISION AS THE UNHOLY

UNION OF FYRE AND DAWN HAS TAKEN

OVER.

BOOK, I DON'T MEAN TO TAKE AWAY,

BUT THAT INNER TURMOIL WE WERE

TALKING ABOUT, THAT SEEMS TO BE

BOILING OVER FOR BRIGGS, JENSEN,

AND NOW THE FORMER NXT WOMEN'S

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

[MUSIC]

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT'S

GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TUESDAY

AFTER THE ALTERCATION EARLIER

TONIGHT HERE AT STAND & DELIVER.

OUR HOSTS, PRETTY DEADLY,

THEY'RE GOING TO GO TOE-TO-TOE

WITH TONY D'ANGELO AND STACKS.

>> OH, YES.

I LIKE THAT.

>> WHAT A MATCHUP THAT'S GOING

TO BE.

ALSO, A BATTLE OF THE BIG MEN.

DIHJAK IS GOING TO ENTER THE O

ZONE.

ODYSSEY JONES, DIJAK, ONE-ON-ONE

THIS TUESDAY AT NXT.

>> O ZONE?

>> THAT'S THIS UPCOMING TUESDAY.

WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IS

STILL TO COME HERE ON

WRESTLEMANIA SATURDAY.

AT STAND & DELIVER, IT IS THE

YOUNGEST MAIN EVENT IN

WRESTLEMANIA WEEKEND HISTORY.

IT'S THE MATCH THE UNIVERSE HAS

BEEN WAITING FOR.

IT'S BREAKKER, IT'S HAYES FOR

THE NXT TITLE.

[MUSIC]

>> THIS MATCH IS LIKE DESTINY.

>> THE YOUNGEST MAIN EVENT IN

WRESTLEMANIA WEEKEND HISTORY.

CARMELO AND I, WE CAME IN IN THE

SAME CLASS.

THESE TWO ALPHA MALES THAT ARE

JUST UNDENIABLE.

>> BRON, DO YOU NOW WHAT IT

TAKES TO BE A KING?

I DON'T THINK YOU DO.

HEAVY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS

THE CROWN.

MAKE SOME NOISE FOR THE 2021

BREAKOUT SUPERSTAR, THE NXT

WARGAMES WINNER, THE

LONGEST-COMBINED NORTH AMERICAN

CHAMPIONSHIP, THE UNIFIED NORTH

AMERICAN CHAMPION, HIM.

>> THIS HAS BEEN A WHOLE

DIFFERENT TRAINING CAMP TO GET

TO THIS POINT.

I'M NOT JUST DOING MY

HIGH-FLYING STUFF, I'M NOT JUST

DOING MAT WRESTLING, I'M

COVERING EVERY ASPECT OF THE

GAME, I'M HITTING THOSE ROPES A

LITTLE HARDER, I'M TAKING LESS

STEPS, I'M MAKING LESS MISTAKES.

WE WORKED OUT FOR FOUR HOURS, WE

WENT TO THE CLUB, WE PARTIED FOR

THREE HOURS, AFTERPARTY, I CHOSE

NOT TO GO.

[SINGING]

I'LL CELEBRATE WHEN IT'S

FINISHED.

I'LL CELEBRATE WHEN I'M THE

CHAMPION.

I'LL CELEBRATE WHEN I'M AT THE

TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN.

THE JOB IS NOT DONE.

IT'S FAR FROM DONE.

[MUSIC]

>> [LAUGHS]

IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN

DOING IT.

I'VE BEEN IN THE GYM, I'VE BEEN

TRAINING, I'VE BEEN NOT GOING TO

THE CLUBS, NOT GOING TO THE

PARTY SCENE, AND BEING FOCUSED

ON THIS.

I TRAIN WEIGHTS TWO AND A HALF

HOURS A DAY.

I'M IN THE RING TWO AND A HALF

HOURS A DAY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT

IT TAKES TO BE THE CHAMPION, TO

BE THE GUY.

I HAVE CARRIED THIS BRAND ON MY

BACK FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW.

THE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP IS

EVERYTHING TO ME.

THIS BRAND MEANS EVERYTHING TO

ME.

I RESPECT EVERY ONE WHO'S BEEN A

CHAMPION BEFORE ME, BUT THERE IS

A DIFFERENCE, I'M THE MOST

DOMINANT NXT CHAMPION OF ALL

TIME.

>> HOW COULD YOU NOT BE BLOWN

AWAY BY WHAT THIS MAN HAS DONE?

>> BRON BREAKKER IS THE PRESENT

AND HE'S PAVING A WAY FOR THE

FUTURE.

BRON CELEBRATING ON HIS ROAD TO

STAND & DELIVER.

>> IN LA, I'M GOING TO TAKE SOME

OF THAT WEIGHT OFF YOUR

SHOULDERS WHEN I KNOCK YOUR HEAD

OFF AND I TAKE THAT CROWN

BECAUSE I AM HIM AND THE KINGDOM

OF NXT IS MINE.

NOW GIVE ME MY -- CROWN.

>> THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE

SPECIAL.

IT MEANS A LITTLE BIT MORE TO

ME.

>> IT'S BRON BREAKKER ALL DAY.

HE'S THE FUTURE.

>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THAT.

BRON'S GOOD, BUT I THINK CARMELO

IS GOING TO WIN.

>> BRON BREAKKER, I DON'T THINK

YOU UNDERSTAND.

I DON'T THINK YOU WANT IT THE

WAY THAT I WANT IT.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE WILLING TO

GO THE LIMIT THAT I'M WILLING TO

GO FOR THIS CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> WHEN I GET GOING IN THAT

FOUR-THREE SPEED, WHEN I STEINER

LINE HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT

RING, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT

PLANET HE'S ON OR WHERE HE IS,

YOU'LL SEE.

>> AT STAND & DELIVER, I'M GOING

TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM YOU,

BRON, AND I'M GOING TO TAKE IT

BECAUSE IT'S MINE, BECAUSE I AM

HIM.

>> I PROMISE I WILL WALK IN AND

I WILL WALK OUT STAND & DELIVER

STILL THE NXT CHAMPION.

>> WHO WILL STAND?

WHO WILL DELIVER?

WHO WILL BE THE NXT CHAMPION?

[MUSIC]

[CROWD CHEERS]

[CARMELO HAYES' MUSIC PLAYS]

>> JUNE 21ST, HE PUT THE WORLD

ON NOTICE, BANGER AFTER BANGER,

BANGER AFTER BANGER, BANGER

AFTER BANGER.

THIS IS WHAT I NEED.

I NEED FOR EVERYONE TO GET OUT

YOUR SEATS.

I NEED FOR EVERYONE TO GET ON

YOUR FEET, EVERYONE STAND AND

WATCH HIM DELIVER.

[CARMELO HAYES' MUSIC PLAYS]

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> THAT CERTAINLY A STATEMENT,

BOOK, BY CARMELO HAYES.

HE'S PUT EVERYBODY ON A T-SHIRT.

IT'S BEEN A DIFFERENT VIBE WHEN

YOU'VE BEEN AROUND THE

CHALLENGER THIS WEEK.

IT'S BEEN A DIFFERENT FEELING

FOR CARMELO HAYES BECAUSE HE

KNOWS THIS MOMENT.

>> OH, MAN.

VIC, I'M EXCITED.

LOOK AT THIS MAN, CARMELO HAYES.

HE'S LOOKING REAL GOOD.

HE'S THAT SCOPE TO THE DONAS,

CARVED AND CHISELED OUT OF

GRANITE.

ALL HE NEEDS TO GO AROUND HIS

WAIST IS THAT GRAND PRIZE, VIC.

>> WE CAN'T UNDERESTIMATE THE

MAGNITUDE OF THIS MOMENT THAT

WE'RE WITNESSING LIVE HERE ON

WRESTLEMANIA SATURDAY.

THE YOUNGEST WRESTLEMANIA MAIN

EVENT IN HISTORY.

TWO YOUNG GUNS, SO TO SPEAK, TWO

GUYS THAT HAVE PUT THE BRAND ON

THEIR BACK, THAT IT'S BEEN BUILT

ON.

THEY'VE BEEN THE PILLARS AND NOW

THEY FINALLY GO ONE-ON-ONE.

>> YES, YOU TALK ABOUT THE

PILLARS, VIC, WE'RE TALKING

ABOUT THE GUY.

WHO IS GOING TO BE?

[BRON BREAKKER'S MUSIC PLAYS]

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> THIS IS THE MATCH WE'VE BEEN

WAITING FOR.

>> YES, INDEED, VIC.

THAT'S THAT MAN RIGHT THERE,

BRON BREAKKER.

I GOT TO SAY IT, HE'S LOOKING

FOR IT.

NO BREAD, NO WATER, JUST MEAT.

>> OH.

THESE TWO HAVE BEEN TWINED, AS I

WAS MENTIONING, FROM THE SUMMER

OF 2021.

IN MELO'S MIND, HE MADE BRON

BREAKKER BY HELPING HIM AT

WARGAMES AND HE SAID HE HAD TO

GIVE BRON A CAREER TO DESTROY

IT.

THAT'S PRETTY PETTY TO THINK

THAT MELO CREDITS HIMSELF WITH

BRON'S SUCCESS BECAUSE THAT MAN

HAS DONE IT WITH HARD WORK AND

DETERMINATION.

>> BRON BREAKKER DEFINITELY HAS

BEEN DOMINATE IN THIS

CHAMPIONSHIP RUN, AND THE THING

IS, I WONDER IF THE CONFIDENCE

IS A LITTLE BIT TOO

OVERCONFIDENT.

[BELL RINGS]

>> THE FOLLOWING CONTEST

SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL IS FOR

THE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> INTRODUCING FIRST THE

CHALLENGER, ACCOMPANIED BY TRICK

WILLIAMS, CARMELO HAYES.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> HIS OPPONENT, HE IS THE NXT

CHAMPION, BRON BREAKKER.

>> SECOND STAND & DELIVER MAIN

EVENT FOR BRON BREAKKER.

OF COURSE, LAST YEAR WE KNOW HE

WENT UP AGAINST DOLPH ZIGGLER,

MAIN EVENT, DALLAS.

IS WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR IN

DALLAS, HAS THAT PUT THE CHIP ON

THE SHOULDER OF BRON BREAKKER?

>> I TELL YOU, IT MAY HAVE-

[BELL RINGS]

>> -BUT I TELL YOU, HE'D BETTER

PUT THAT BEHIND HIM BECAUSE HE

HAS A YOUNG MAN IN FRONT OF HIM

THAT IS A PHENOMENAL TALENT,

VIC.

>> YOU CAN FEEL THE TENSION-

>> OH, YES.

>> -STARTING TO RISE HERE IN LA.

[CROWD CHANTS "NXT"]

>> WE TALKED ABOUT THE

MAGNITUDE OF THIS MOMENT.

IT'S BRON BREAKKER WHO CALLED

THIS MATCH DESTINY.

>> I LIKE THE WAY THIS THING IS

GETTING STARTED HERE, VIC.

THIS IS JUST A FEELING-OUT

PROCESS RIGHT HERE.

>> HOLD ON A SECOND.

YOU TALKED ABOUT GETTING IT

STARTED.

HAYES TRIED TO OVERPOWER BRON

BREAKKER.

THAT DIDN'T WORK.

YOU JUST SAW BRON BACK UP HAYES

AND HAYES REALIZED IT AND

QUICKLY LET GO.

>> HE COULD'VE JUST BEEN TESTING

BRON BREAKKER, YOU KNOW WHAT I

MEAN?

ALWAYS WANTING TO MAKE HIM THINK

MORE THAN JUST ONE WAY AT A

MATCH-UP LIKE THIS, VIC.

OH, YES.

>> ONCE AGAIN, YOU NOTICE THE

WAIST LOCK FROM CARMELO HAYES.

BRON PUT THOSE PAWS DOWN,

GRABBED HIM, AND HAYES QUICKLY

LET GO, WALKED AWAY.

NOW WHAT HAYES COULDN'T DO BRON

JUST DID AND THAT WAS TOSS THE

CHALLENGER.

>> THE THING IS, CARJMELO HAYES,

HE'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO

OVERPOWER BRON BREAKKER OR

ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT YOU'VE

GOT TO TEST THE WATERS, VIC.

YOU'VE GOT TO POKE HOLES.

>> HE'S TESTING HIM ALL RIGHT

AND RIGHT NOW BRON BREAKKER'S

NOT FADED.

BRON'S BEEN IN THIS POSITION.

BRON'S BEEN UNDER THESE LIGHTS.

BRON'S BEEN IN, NAME THE SHOW.

>> COME ON.

>> HE'S BEEN IN THE MAIN EVENT.

>> WHERE DO YOU THINK--

>> HE'S BEEN THE GUY.

>> CARMELO HAYES RIGHT NOW IS

ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY TOUTED

SUPERSTARS HERE IN THIS

BUSINESS, LET ALONE NXT.

>> OH.

>> BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK.

>> WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK BY

HAYES.

HE SAID TRAINING CAMP WAS A

LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

YOU TALK VERY HIGHLY OF CARMELO

HAYES.

WAS IT WISE TO SWITCH UP HIS

GAME?

>> OF COURSE, IT WAS WISE.

YOU CAN'T KEEP GOING FORWARD

INTO THE GAME WITH THE SAME GAME

PLAN.

>> HOW ABOUT THAT MESSAGE?

>> YOU THINK BILL BELICHICK'D GO

INTO THE GAME WITH THE SAME GAME

PLAN EVERY WEEK?

>> WELL, HOW ABOUT THE MESSAGE

THOUGH CARMELO HAYES JUST SHOWED

BRON BREAKKER?

BRON THEN CAME RIGHT AT HIM AND

NOW IT'S GETTING IN THE HEAD OF

THE CHAMPION AS THE CHALLENGER

NOW.

THE PACE IS QUICKENING AND I

BELIEVE IT JUST GOT SLAMMED DOWN

AGAIN BY THE BRICKWALL THAT IS

BRON BREAKKER.

>> YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND, VIC,

WE ARE JUST STILL IN THE

APPETIZING PHASE OF THIS MATCH.

>> OH.

>> OH.

>> A LITTLE BIT OF A SLIP AND

AGAIN, GOES BACK TO THE MOMENT,-

>> HIGH RISK.

>> -GOES BACK TO THE LIGHTS, THE

RISK YOU TALKED ABOUT.

>> HIGH RISK.

>> THERE WAS NO REWARD THERE FOR

CARMELO HAYES, BUT HE'S GOING TO

TRY ONE MORE TIME AND BRON KNEW

IT WAS COMING.

>> OH.

[LAUGHS]

OH, BRON BREAKKER WAS WAITING

ON THAT AND HE JUST TOOK A SHOT.

[CROWD BOOS]

>> HE SURE DID, DIDN'T HE?

>> HE SAID WHAT?

>> THAT'S A MESSAGE SENT TO THE

CHALLENGER.

>> THAT THREE-POINTER, WASN'T

IT?

>> IT WAS DEEP.

AGAIN, NOW LOOK AT BREAKKER.

UP AND OVER.

HE'S USING HIS OWN LITTLE BIT OF

SPEED.

>> YES, INDEED.

>> SHOWING YOU THE ATHLETICISM.

BREAKKER NOW ROLLING RIGHT

THROUGH AND THIS THAT AMATEUR

BACKGROUND COMING INTO DISPLAY

FOR THE NXT CHAMPION.

I WANT TO ASK YOU THIS, BOOK, DO

YOU BELIEVE BRON BREAKKER HAS

BEEN THE MOST DOMINANT NXT

CHAMPION EVER?

ONLY SIX MEN HAVE HELD THE NXT

TITLE MORE THAN ONCE, ONLY ONE

LONGER THAN THIS MAN WHO'S

LOOKING TO RETAIN.

>> I CAN'T DISAGREE WITH THAT,

VIC.

BRON BREAKKER HAS BEEN DOMINANT

AS CHAMPION.

HE'S RAN THROUGH EVERY OPPONENT

THEY'VE PUT IN FRONT OF HIM.

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL,

BEAUTIFUL BALANCE ON THE

MOONSAULT RIGHT THERE.

>> BAM.

>> THAT'S WHAT HE'S LOOKING TO

TAKE HIM TO THE PROMISED LAND

HERE TONIGHT AGAINST THIS MAN,

CARMELO HAYES.

>> THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN GO

BACK TO LAST YEAR AGAINST DOLPH

ZIGGLER.

BRON BREAKKER WAS FOOT ON THE

GAS, 100 MILES AN HOUR.

HE IS SLOWING DOWN.

HE IS ALLOWING THIS MATCH TO

COME TO HIM.

THIS BRAND MEANS EVERYTHING TO

BRON BREAKKER.

HE GOES INTO THE WEIGHT ROOM

EVERY DAY.

HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT HIS

TRAINING MENTALLY.

HE TALKED ABOUT HIS FILM STUDY.

HE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE BIGGEST

DIFFERENCE IN THE LAST YEAR AND

SOMETHING THAT COULD PAY OFF IN

THIS MATCHUP, IN THIS MOMENT FOR

HIMSELF.

>> THAT COMES FROM BEING A

LITTLE BITTY BOY.

I'M TALKING ABOUT POP WARNER

JUNIOR HIGH, HIGH SCHOOL, BEING

PREPARED.

BRON BREAKKER KNOWS ALL ABOUT

THAT.

I GIVE HIM THAT.

>> AGAIN, STAYING CALM, COOL,

COLLECTED.

FOR BRON BREAKKER, HE'S BEEN

EVERY COMPOSED ALL WEEK LONG.

YOU'VE SEEN THAT IN THE MEDIA

ROUNDS.

NOTHING HAS OVERWHELMED HIM.

HE'S READY FOR THIS MOMENT-

>> RIGHT NOW.

>> -MAYBE MORE SO AND I'M NOT

TAKING ANYTHING FROM WHAT HE DID

LAST YEAR, BUT MAYBE MORE SO

THAN LAST YEAR, AND MAYBE MORE

SO IN THIS MOMENT IN THE

CHALLENGE.

>> MAYBE HE'S STILL TRYING TO

SLOW IT DOWN RIGHT NOW, TRYING

TO LEAN ON CARMELO HAYES.

JUST TRYING TO MAKE HIM USE

EVERY BIT OF AIR HE POSSIBLY

CAN.

THE THING MIGHT GET INTO THE

LATER LATER ROUNDS, VIC.

>> WELL, YOU'VE GOT TO LIKE WHEN

YOU TALKED ABOUT STRATEGY EARLY

ON WITH THE LADDER MATCH, HE

DOESN'T WANT CARMELO HAYES TO BE

PICKING UP STEAM, HE DOESN'T

WANT HIM RUNNING AROUND JUMPING

OFF TEN TOP ROPE, JUMPING UP.

HE'S GOT TO KEEP HAYES GROUNDED

AND HE'S DOING THAT.

>> NOT JUST THAT, HE'S TRYING TO

CONSERVE EVERY BIT OF ENERGY HE

POSSIBLY CAN AS WELL BECAUSE HE

KNOWS THE ABILITY OF THIS MAN,

CARMELO HAYES.

>> WE'RE SEEING IT RIGHT NOW,

AND OF COURSE, HAYES DAWNING THE

PURPLE AND GOLD, THE COLORS OF

THE LA LAKERS.

YOU SEE THE NUMBER EIGHT ON HIS

LEFT KNEE FOR KOBE BRYANT.

HE'S GOT TO HAVE THAT MAMBA

MENTALITY HERE TONIGHT.

>> YES, INDEED.

WE ALL KNOW KOBE BRYANT WAS THE

EPITOME OF MAMBA MENTALITY.

>> NOW, YOU SEE BRON IN A LOT OF

ANGST HERE IN THIS MOMENT, AND

GO BACK TO WHAT JUST HAPPENED,

HE WENT FACE FIRST OVER THAT

MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, OVER THAT

ROPE.

THAT CAN'T FEEL VERY GOOD FOR

BRON BREAKKER.

THAT CERTAINLY CAN'T EITHER.

JUMPING THROUGH THE AIR, IS

HAYES.

>> FLAWLESS.

>> INTO THE COVER, HOOK OF THE

LEG, AND A NEAR FALL.

IT SEEMS SINCE THAT DROP

TOEHOLD, THAT'S TAKEN BRON

BREAKKER OFF HIS GAME A LITTLE

BIT AND HAS ALLOWED CARMELO

HAYES TO GET BACK INTO THE GAME.

>> NOT JUST THAT, THE SPEED AND

THE QUICKNESS OF CARMELO HAYES

IS DEFINITELY COMING INTO PLAY.

THE ONE THING ABOUT CARMELO

HAYES IS HE'S FLAWLESS.

HE MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY, AND

THAT'S THE TRAINING THIS YOUNG

MAN IS GOING THROUGH HERE AS OF

LATE.

>> NOW, YOU SEE HAYES JUST

SQUEEZING WITH HIS ARMBAR LOCKED

IN, AND BRON BREAKKER RIGHT NOW

CENTER OF THE RING IN A BAD WAY.

THERE YOU SEE TRICK WILLIAMS ON

THE OUTSIDE TELLING THE

CHALLENGER TO SQUEEZE, CONTINUE

TO TRY TO HOLD AND THIS

CERTAINLY WOULD WEAR DOWN THE

POWER OF BREAKKER.

>> I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HE

LET THAT KEY LOCK GO, HE HAD IT

LOCKED IN, AND RIGHT NOW, BRON

BREAKKER HAS AN ESCAPE ROUTE IF

HE CHOOSE TO USE IT.

>> TRYING TO HYPEREXTEND THE

LEFT ELBOW.

LOOK, THESE TWO GUYS THEY WANT

TO BE THE BEST.

IT'S IN THEIR GENETIC CODE TO BE

THE BEST, TO BE THE MAN, TO BE

NUMBER ONE.

>> TALK ABOUT THE PEDIGREE, THE

DNA OF THIS MAN.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> ROLL THROUGH, SHOULDERS

DOWN, BY BREAKKER TO RETAIN, AND

ABLE TO KICK OUT.

>> BRON BREAKKER, HE WAS BORN

FOR THIS, VIC.

HE WAS BORN TO DO THIS.

HE WAS BORN TO BE CHAMPION.

>> IF YOU ASK CARMELO HAYES HE

WAS BORN TO BE CHAMPION JUST AS

WELL, AND NOW, HAYES CHARGING

RIGHT IN.

HAYES HAS SAID HE HAS WAITED

LONG ENOUGH FOR THIS ONE-ON-ONE

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NXT TITLE,

AND NOW, THERE'S A BULLSEYE ON

THE BODY OF BRON BREAKKER.

>> WAITING AND ANTICIPATING IS

ONE THING, CASHING IN IS TOTALLY

ANOTHER THING.

TO CASH IN ON THIS MAN BRON

BREAKKER, IT'S GOING TO BE A

CHORE, VIC.

>> HAYES NOW STARTING TO FOCUS,

AND NOW MAYBE IT WAS THAT EARLY

STORM UP FRONT ABLE TO WEATHER

THAT STORM, SO TO SPEAK, FOR

CARMELO HAYES TO GET BACK INTO

THIS MATCHUP AND GET A LITTLE

BIT MORE COMFORTABLE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S GOING TO

BE ANYTHING COMFORTABLE NOW THAT

BREAKKER BACK ON OFFENSE, BIG

HIP TOSS, AND THE CHAMPION NOW

PICKING UP SOME STEAM.

>> RIGHT NOW, THIS THING IS

MOVING AT A FAST PACE, AND RIGHT

NOW, BRON BREAKKER IS IN TOTAL

CONTROL, HE'S GOING FOR A COVER.

>> HOOK OF THE INSIDE LEG AND

ANOTHER NEAR FALL FOR CARMELO

HAYES, THAT RIGHT SHOULDER JUST

GETTING UP.

THIS MATCH IS LIVING UP TO THE

BILLING OF THESE TWO GUYS WHO

THEY'VE HEARD THE CHIRPING ABOUT

THE OTHER.

CARMELO HAYES HEARD ENOUGH ABOUT

BRON BREAKKER, AND BRON BREAKKER

HAS HEARD ENOUGH ABOUT CARMELO

HAYES.

>> YES, INDEED.

I'M LOOKING AT BRON BREAKKER'S

TACTICS RIGHT NOW, VIC.

HE'S TRYING TO JUST KEEP THIS

THING AT A PACE, AT HIS PACE

MORE SO THAN CARMELO HAYES'

PACE.

>> JUST TRYING TO KEEP IT SLOW,

KEEP IT STEADY.

WE TALKED ABOUT BEING CALM IF

YOU ARE BRON BREAKKER.

BRON KNOWS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE

CHAMPION AT THIS LEVEL, SO DOES

CARMELO HAYES.

THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN SO INTRIGUING

ABOUT THIS MATCHUP, ABOUT THIS

HUGE MAIN EVENT, AS SOME HAVE

SAID, MAYBE THE BIGGEST MATCH IN

NXT HISTORY FOR TWO GUYS THAT

ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.

RIGHT NOW, BRON BREAKKER IS

STARTING TO BREAK DOWN CARMELO

HAYES IN A WAY WE'VE NEVER SEEN

BEFORE.

>> NO, HE'S NOT JUST BREAKING

HIM DOWN, HE'S GRINDING RIGHT

NOW ON CARMELO HAYES.

LIKE I SAY, HE'S USING THOSE

LITTLE BRAWLING TACTICS TO TAKE

EVERYTHING OUT OF THIS MAN,

CARMELO HAYES.

>> ONE MORE TIME, AND JUST LIKE

WE SAW HAYES FOCUS ON THE UPPER

BODY, WE'RE SEEING BREAKKER

FOCUS ON THE LOWER BACK.

YOU SEE ALMOST AGONY IN THE EYES

OF TRICK WILLIAMS ON THE OUTSIDE

AS HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO JUST

WATCH BRON BREAKKER CONTINUE TO

PUNISH CARMELO HAYES WHO JUST

KICKED OUT AT TWO.

>> WOW, BEAUTIFUL SUPLEX RIGHT

THERE.

ELEVATOR COMING DOWN AND COMING

DOWN HARD, RIGHT NOW.

YOU SEE THE TACTICS AND THE

STRATEGY OF THIS MAN, BRON

BREAKKER.

LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S A GREAT

STRATEGY.

>> LOOK AT THIS.

NOW HAYES JUST TRYING TO HOLD

ON.

ONE MORE TIME WITH THAT RIGHT

HAND REACHING OUT, AND UH-OH,

GETTING STACKED UP.

TORTURE RACK-- WHAT?

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> TRICK.

>> COME ON.

>> TRICK WILLIAMS COULD HAVE

JUST SAVED CARMELO HAYES.

[CROWD BOOS]

>> REFEREE'S DISCRETION.

>> COME ON, MAN.

>> WAIT A MINUTE, HOLD ON.

WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE THE

REFEREE DISQUALIFY CARMELO HAYES

OR SEND TRICK WILLIAMS TO THE

BACK?

GREAT JUDGMENT CALL BY THE

OFFICIAL, AND NOW, BREAKKER

MAKING A JUDGMENT CALL, HIGH

RISK FOR THE CHAMP.

>> YOU'RE RIGHT.

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS

DISQUALIFICATION HERE BETWEEN

THESE TWO HERE TONIGHT AT STAND

& DELIVER.

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT.

>> GREAT JOB BY OUR OFFICIAL AS

BREAKKER, TAKING THAT LONG

CLIMB, COULD BE LOOKING FOR THAT

BULLDOG OFF THE TOP CONNECTING.

>> HE GOT ALL OF IT.

>> HE CERTAINLY DID.

>> HE'S GOT ALL OF IT.

>> DID HE GET ENOUGH TO RETAIN

THE NXT TITLE-- AND OH.

>> THE RESILIENCE OF THIS YOUNG

MAN, CARMELO HAYES.

HE WANTS THAT CHAMPIONSHIP, VIC,

BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN

JUST ONE SHOT TO PUT HIM DOWN.

>> LOOK AT BRON BREAKKER TAKING

FLIGHT.

YOU TALK ABOUT THE LANDING.

BOOM.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> THEN HE FOLLOWED THAT UP

WITH MORE HIGH-IMPACT OFFENSE.

I GIVE CREDIT TO THE CHALLENGER

WHO WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT AT TWO

AND A HALF.

CARMELO HAYES KNOWS WHO HE'S

BEEN IN THIS MATCH WITH.

HE'S BEEN IN THE MATCH WITH THE

BEST NXT HAS TO OFFER IN BRON

BREAKKER.

>> TALK ABOUT THE TRAINING OF

CARMELO HAYES.

THERE'S A QUOTE BY FLOYD

MAYWEATHER.

"HARD WORK IS EASY WORK."

THAT'S THE MENTALITY THAT HE HAS

TO HAVE TONIGHT.

RIGHT NOW, HE'S GOING FOR IT.

HE'S GOING FOR IT BIG TIME.

OH, YES.

>> THE PACE STARTING TO QUICKEN

OFF THE CUTTER.

CHALLENGER INTO THE COVER, THE

COUNT, AND THE CHAMPION JUST GOT

THE SHOULDER UP.

LOOK INTO THE EYES OF CARMELO

HAYES.

THIS IS DEEP WATER NOW FOR

HAYES.

>> RIGHT NOW THE FRUSTRATION IS

SETTING IN BECAUSE, LET ME TELL

YOU, HE LOCKED IN THAT HOOK

RIGHT THERE, THAT BACK LEG.

IT DIDN'T WORK.

DIDN'T WORK FOR HIM.

BRON BREAKKER'S STILL STRONG.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> TALKS ABOUT THAT POWER THAT

BREAKKER HAS IN.

HERE'S A MAN WHO CALLS HIS SHOT,

AND WHEN HE SHOOTS, HE DON'T

MISS.

[CROWD CHANTS "MELO"]

>> NXT UNIVERSE TRYING TO RALLY

OFF THE TOP ROLL-THROUGH.

BREAKKER, OF COURSE, HAD IT

SCOUTED RIGHT BACK IN.

PUMP KICK CONNECTS UNDER THE

JAW.

THE CHAMPION SENT ALL THE WAY TO

THE OUTSIDE.

LOOK AT HAYES WISELY, THOUGH.

KNOWS HE HAS TO GET BRON

BREAKKER IN THE RING.

CAN'T WIN THE NXT TITLE ON A

PINFALL.

OH, WHAT A COUNTER.

>> OH, WOW.

BEAUTIFUL.

>> PINFALL, SUBMISSION IN A HUGE

SUPLEX.

[CROWD APPLAUSES]

>> OUTSIDE TO INSIDE, TRYING TO

CAPITALIZE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

IN ANOTHER PINFALL.

>> TALK ABOUT INNOVATIVE RIGHT

THERE.

CARMELO HAYES RIGHT THERE JUST

PULLED OFF ONE OF THE MOST

EXCITING, UNBELIEVABLE MOVES

WE'VE EVER SEEN IN THIS

BUSINESS, VIC.

UNBELIEVABLE TALENT THIS KID.

>> THAT TALENT IS TAKING HIM TO

THE TOP, AND HE'S SOARING BACK

TO THE TOP ONE MORE TIME.

HAYES LOOKING DOWN.

WHOA.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

>> YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

>> THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID,

BOOK.

LOOK AT BRON BREAKKER, SO MUCH

HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE

CHAMPION.

HE CAN'T GET INTO IT.

HE CAN'T GET BACK TO MAKE A

COVER.

BRON BREAKKER, THE SIZE OF

BREAKKER, TO THE TOP TO HIT THAT

WITH SUCH EASE.

YOU TALK ABOUT HIGHFLYING

ABILITY.

BRON BREAKKER CAN DO IT ALL.

>> TALKING ABOUT BRON BREAKKER,

I SAID THIS KID HAS TO THINK

ABOUT WORKING IN MORE THAN JUST

ONE GEAR RIGHT NOW.

HE'S SHIFTING GEARS, VIC.

HE'S DEFINITELY SHIFTING GEARS.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> THAT GENETIC CODE, THE

MAGNITUDE OF THIS MATCH, OF THIS

MOMENT, FOR THESE TWO, FOR THIS

BRAND, ON THIS STAGE IN LA.

>> OH, YES.

I LIKE THIS.

I LIKE THIS, VIC.

LET'S JUST FIGHT.

LET'S JUST DO IT.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> BREAKKER'S RIGHT HAND

DROPPING THE CHALLENGER, BUT

HAYES PICKING HIMSELF BACK UP TO

ANSWER RIGHT BACK.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> OH.

NICE STRIKE BY HAYES, ROCKING

THE CHAMPION BACK-- UH-OH.

>> NOT A GREAT STRATEGY HERE BY

CARMELO.

>> OH.

COUNTER, COUNTER BY CARMELO.

>> YOU DON'T WANT TO GO

TOE-TO-TOE--

>> CARMELO'S

LOOKING FOR THAT SUBMISSION.

LOOK AT BRON BREAKKER.

BREAKKER TRYING TO RECLINE

CARMELO HAYES.

HE'S SEEN THAT MOVIE BEFORE,

ABLE TO COUNTER RIGHT TO THE

BACK.

NOW, TRYING TO LOCK IN THE

SUBMISSION.

HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THE

SHOULDER, WORKING ON THE ARM.

>> TOO STRONG, VIC.

TOO STRONG HERE BY THIS MAN

RIGHT HERE, BRON BREAKKER.

OH, WOW.

>> TO YOUR POINT, ALMOST ON CUE.

PLANTED.

LOCKED IN.

IS THE CHAMPION GOING TO TAP?

BREAKKER TRYING TO ROLL HIS

WEIGHT, ROLL HIS MOMENTUM.

SHOULDERS ARE DOWN-- AND OH.

>> BREAKKER WAS ADMIRING HIS

WORK THERE FOR A SECOND, AND

CARMELO CAPITALIZED OFF OF IT,

BUT IS IT GOING TO WORK?

>> SPEAR.

>> OH.

OH, WOW.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> THE OFFICIAL WRONG PLACE,

WRONG TIME.

NOW, BRON LOOKING DOWN, AND FOR

A SECOND ATTEMPT, CAN HE SIT

BACK?

CAN HE CLENCH HIS HANDS?

HE'S RECLINING BACK ON CARMELO

HAYES.

>> THAT'S IT, VIC.

HE'S GOT TO TAP.

HE'S GOT TO TAP.

>> THE CHALLENGER.

THERE'S NO REFEREE.

THERE'S NO OFFICIAL.

TRICK, NO.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> TRICK WILLIAMS, HE WAS

EJECTED.

WILLIAMS.

OH, HE JUST DRAGGED THE LIFELESS

BODY OF CARMELO HAYES.

>> THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT.

THEY'RE GOING TO ROB THIS MAN

TONIGHT, VIC.

>> REFEREE CAN ONLY CALL WHAT HE

SEES.

HOW DAMN CLOSE.

>> THAT WAS A 2/11 IN PROGRESS

RIGHT THERE, VIC.

[CROWD CHANTS "THAT WAS THREE"]

>> THE EYES OF BREAKKER, THE

EYES OF HAYES.

I THINK HAYES NOW TRYING TO GET

RIGHT BACK IN GOING-- UH-OH, GOT

CAUGHT, AND WE'VE SEEN THIS IN

THE PAST, BOOK.

WHAT GOES UP HAS TO COME

CRASHING DOWN.

>> OH, FIRST 48, FIRST 48, FIRST

48.

>> HAYES DROP BREAKKER.

HAYES TRYING TO MOVE.

CARMELO HAYES TRYING TO PULL

HIMSELF, TRYING TO WILL HIMSELF

ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.

THE MAN WHO SHOOTS AND DON'T

MISS HAS HIS SIGHT SET.

NOTHING BUT NET.

>> WOW.

>> FOR YOUR MOMENT.

WE GOT A NEW NXT CHAMPION.

[BELL RINGS]

[CARMELO HAYES' MUSIC PLAYS]

>> HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND NEW

NXT CHAMPION, CARMELO HAYES.

>> ONE MORE TIME AT STAND &

DELIVER.

LOS ANGELES IS ON THEIR FEET AS

YOU JUST HEARD ALICIA TAYLOR

SAY, NEW NXT CHAMPION.

[CROWD CHANTS "MELO"]

>> LET'S GO BACK INTO THIS

MATCHUP.

AS I'VE SAID, WRONG PLACE, WRONG

TIME.

THE REFEREE WIPED OUT.

BRON BREAKKER COULD'VE HAD IT IN

THAT MOMENT.

HE LOCKS IN.

HAYES IS TAPPING.

WILLIAMS RETURNS AND DROPS BRON

BREAKKER.

THE REFEREE HAD NO IDEA.

BREAKKER SOMEHOW WAS ABLE TO

KICK OUT, IN THAT MOMENT HAYES

WOULD SOMEHOW ABLE TO COUNTER.

THEN HE SET HIS SIGHTS ON THE

BIG DOG, AND THE BIG DOG ATE

HERE TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES.

BOOM, TO THE BACK OF THE NECK.

NOTHING BUT NET SECURES THE

BIGGEST GAME WINNING SHOT IN

CARMELO HAYES' TENURE IN HIS

HISTORY HERE IN NXT.

[CROWD CHEERS]

IT IS STARTING TO SET IN FOR

CARMELO HAYES.

LOS ANGELES CELEBRATING FOR THE

NEW NXT CHAMPION.

HEAVY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS

THE CROWN.

FROM A CASANOVA TO THE NXT

CHAMPION, CARMELO HAYES IS HIM.
