00:00The WWE Women's Tag Team Titles, her last go back to 2016 when she faced Asuka.
00:06Listen, I think Thea Hale probably should be regretting her decision already.
00:10Coming out of the gate strong, I admire the effort, but let's be perfectly honest.
00:14This may be the dumbest decision Thea Hale's made in her young life.
00:18But Booker, no doubt this would be the biggest win of Hale's career.
00:22It would be momentous, man.
00:24It would be the biggest win of her career.
00:25But I'm gonna tell you right now, I hope she's not thinking about that.
00:28I hope she's thinking about survival, survival.
00:31I got a great idea.
00:32Why don't you go to the zoo and pick a fight with a tiger?
00:35You have the same chances as Thea Hale right now.
00:37Well, those aren't very good chances, and right now we want to remind everyone, too,
00:40that the Women's North American title is to be defended in our main event as Thea Hale
00:45standing, goes all connected into the cover.
00:47Referee couldn't even get down for a one count before Nia was able to overpower Thea Hale.
00:52He's charging right back in, and I don't know if that exploded suplex is the best
00:58idea, just like maybe saying what she did on-
01:01Oh, baby!
01:02Good night!
01:03Well, we saw on her IG, she wanted to step up.
01:07But I don't know if she even knew what she was getting herself into.
01:10The first mistake Thea Hale made was going on social media and calling out Nia Jax.
01:15The second mistake she made was showing up for the match tonight.
01:19Anything else from here on out is on Thea's shoulders alone.
01:23Nia's here for the reckoning, man.
01:25Nia's here to put this locker room on Nia.
01:27You don't think she slipped on a banana pill and showed up here, do you?
01:31I know.
01:32She just made a wrong turn and ended up on full sight, do you?
01:35No, she's here to create pain, havoc, chaos, baby.
01:39As much as I don't want to agree with you, I have to.
01:41She's here to make an example out of anyone and everyone.
01:44Look at this, like a million dollar slam wrecking ball.
01:48Nia Jax just imposing her will on Thea Hale.
01:52Look, Nia Jax doesn't care if you're on NXT, Evolve, Raw, SmackDown, hell, even TNA.
01:57She is not going to let anyone talk down to her without a fight.
02:01Well, just showing up and dropping last.
02:04You gotta wonder, was that personal or was it business?
02:07You gotta wonder, you gotta wonder.
02:09Look.
02:11Nia Jax is having her way with ease here against Thea Hale.
02:15I mean, almost getting uncomfortable to watch because Nia Jax is in absolute control.
02:21Nia Jax is in absolute control.
02:33Wherever you are watching around the world here on Netflix,
02:35we're keeping our eye right now, Graves, and book on Thea Hale holding onto that ankle
02:40after that spill going up and over the top rope.
02:43Thea Hale immediately clutched it.
02:44I believe it was her right ankle and heel.
02:46Whether or not that's going to be a factor remains to be seen,
02:49but Jax isn't going to wait.
02:50Nia is going to continue the onslaught, continue the assault,
02:54until Thea just stops moving, stops fighting.
02:57And Booker, is part of Hale now maybe regretting the decision of tonight?
03:04You think she's regretting it?
03:07Let me tell you right now.
03:08Thea Hale, she's a hell of a fight.
03:10She's a hell of a fight.
03:11She's going to fight to the end.
03:12But Nia Jax, like I said, she's here for the reckoning, man.
03:15She's here to hurt somebody.
03:17Nia just had her bell rung courtesy of a steel ring post.
03:20And now Hale pulling herself under the bottom rope.
03:23But you got to credit the Hale, because at least she's taken a swing here tonight.
03:27You're right.
03:28It'll be a huge feather in her cat book, right?
03:30And Graves, if she's able to beat a former world champion.
03:33It's a gutsy move.
03:34I don't know how bright it is, but it's certainly gutsy and brave.
03:37Thea just not able to get out of the gates here against Nia Jax, who has not been in a ha-ha-hee-hee mood as of late.
03:46Think about what she did last week right out here in front of us, where Thea Hale is currently laying.
03:52You saw Nia Jax return and just start destroying those in her path.
04:01And now she's yelling at the official.
04:03And for Thea Hale, some call the pride of Pittsburgh trying to pull herself up right now.
04:09She ain't even from Pittsburgh, Vic.
04:10She's from an hour outside.
04:11I heard what Mike Rohn said.
04:13He said from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
04:15And Thea Hale now.
04:17Thea, this is the fight she wanted.
04:18You're at seven, eight, and just able to break the count.
04:21See that?
04:22See that?
04:22Nia's just milking this.
04:24She's loving this right now.
04:27Tell you what it is.
04:28Nia Jax is playing with her food.
04:31Oh, mmm.
04:33Man.
04:35And I got to agree with what Graves just said, too, because right now,
04:38Nia Jax is just having fun in a weird sick way.
04:41We talked about it in the opening match tonight with Blake Monroe and Kalani Jordan,
04:44how red hot the women's division is.
04:46Yeah. Nia Jax realizes, hey, that's new territory for me to conquer.
04:50Maybe I'm gonna join the women's division for a cup of coffee and see what sort of
04:54damage I can do.
04:55Maybe I'll pick up some gold, some more checks and championships.
04:58Yeah, baby.
04:59Well, not only that, she's been listening to some here in NXT, talk down to her,
05:03gloat about an elimination in a battle, Royal Evolution.
05:06And that, of course, being Lash Legend, the moment that she came out and
05:10obliterated last week.
05:13And Nia Jax, in control, I mean, it's scary.
05:19It's like Nia was offended or insulted that Thea dared call her out.
05:23And now Hale's paying the price at the hands of the Irresistible Force and
05:28other parts of the Irresistible Force's Anatomy.
05:32Part of me is starting to feel bad for Thea Hale in NXT Universe.
05:36Are you gonna feel bad for that?
05:37She wanted to make an opportunity, trying to make a name for herself.
05:40And obviously, it's not working out.
05:41I have the right to feel bad for her.
05:42This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
05:45This is what all young Russell look for, this kind of opportunity.
05:48And upset, what would it do?
05:50What would it do?
05:51Put her name on the map.
05:52Exactly. That's what it would do.
05:53I get it.
05:54And Thea now trying to fight back, charging right back in.
05:56Booker's been saying the whole time, this is a great opportunity for Thea Hale.
06:00He says one thing one way, says the other thing the other way.
06:02I'll tell you this, Booker's never wrong.
06:04Booker is never wrong.
06:05I'm always on time, even when they're late.
06:09Thea Hale trying to get back to her feet.
06:12Sends the bell.
06:14This has been all Nia Jax.
06:22Nia Jax is continuing to control Thea Hale, a former women's champion,
06:26former queen of the ring.
06:28And right now, this is akin to pulling the wings off of a fly.
06:32Nia Jax is having the time of her life, just making Thea Hale suffer.
06:37But the NXT universe coming to life behind Hale.
06:40Oh, baby.
06:41And just when Thea starts to get some momentum, it gets slammed shut by Nia Jax.
06:46Here, count the 20.
06:48And what?
06:49Hey, hey, that left shoulder got up.
06:51There's still some fight in Thea Hale.
06:54And going back to last week, as we've talked about it, Booker,
06:56you get why Nia dropped the bougie bull.
06:58Yo, let me tell you something.
06:59Like I said, you don't know if it was business, but I think it was a little bit-
07:02Bang!
07:03Just like that, a little personal, baby.
07:05Drop the ball, I love it.
07:08And Nia Jax is dangerous when she wakes up in the morning.
07:11The last thing Jax needs is more motivation to inflict punishment on anyone,
07:16no matter who you are.
07:17Thea is just the unlucky soul who made the mistake of calling Nia Jax out publicly.
07:21Well, we saw what Nia Jax did last week.
07:24We heard what Nia Jax had to say, issuing that open statement to everyone.
07:29It was Thea Hale who answered it this week.
07:32And now Thea Hale trying to overcome the odds here tonight.
07:35Trying to get around for the DDT.
07:37Got countered on the shoulders of Nia Jax.
07:40Thea able to slip down the back door.
07:41Nia though, overpowering Thea one more time.
07:45Thea, and oh!
07:48Just can't get out of the grip from the strength of Nia Jax.
07:55She's in the drop zone!
07:56Oh no!
07:58Thea out of the way just in time.
08:00Once again, Nia proves to be her own worst enemy.
08:02Got a little overzealous and paid for it.
08:04I don't know how many more lives Thea Hale could have left in this matchup.
08:07Big right hand.
08:08Trying to fight right back up.
08:09Thea Hale swinging away.
08:15And Thea knows it.
08:16She's got to bring it now.
08:17She's got to empty the tank here against Nia Jax.
08:22Another clothesline.
08:24She hit Nia and she went down.
08:26Just got to keep chopping.
08:27Just got to keep chopping here.
08:29Coming back in second time.
08:30Oh!
08:31DDT!
08:32No way!
08:33Into the cover!
08:33Into the cover!
08:35Oh, and we were so close to a massive upset.
08:40A massive statement victory for Thea Hale.
08:43Keep going, Thea!
08:48Right down on the jacks.
08:50Another cover.
08:51Another kick out.
08:53Right there, Nia's reeling right there, guys.
08:55Let me, Booker, this is the best opportunity for Thea to put Nia away.
08:59Cover again!
09:01Another kick out of Thea.
09:03Can't get frustrated.
09:04You gotta wonder if Thea Hale has an energy.
09:07Can she leave it?
09:08That one big shot.
09:09That one big shot.
09:11Could this be it?
09:12She might be going for broke and taking a little too much time.
09:16And nasty landing for Thea.
09:20Charging in comes Nia.
09:22Repeatedly, pouncing on Thea.
09:25And now setting up as Nia Jax.
09:28Baby!
09:29The annihilator.
09:31One, two, three.
09:34Jax dominant in her NXT return.
09:37Here is your winner, Nia Jax!
09:43You're the man with the words, Greg.
09:45I think dominant was a well way to describe that victory.
09:47I think dominant may have been the understatement of the night.
09:51This was pure annihilation.
09:53Pun heavily intended, ripping Thea Hale off the ropes, delivering an annihilator.
10:00And Jax gonna count it to 25.
10:03Thea ain't getting up after that.
10:05I understand right now, Kelly Kincaid standing by.
10:10Nia Jax, last week you cost Lash Legend her match against Fallon Henley.
10:15And tonight, I have...
10:17I impose my will.
10:19Because any ring I step into is mine.
10:23Lash Legend, you're not gonna make a name off of my back.
10:26I'm a former champion, honey.
10:29I beat champions, legends, hall of famers.
10:33What the heck have you done?
10:36You think you're the most dominant woman in WWE?
10:38Nia, Nia, you want to call yourself the irresistible force?
10:46Well, guess what?
10:47You about to find out real quick that force breaks under when my press...
10:53She didn't even want to finish that statement.
10:55Oh, yeah.
10:56Lash Legend swinging away.
10:58Nia Jax, referees, security, they're all coming out.
11:02Let them fight.
11:03Who is the most dominant?
11:05These two are on a collision course.
