00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30I cannot tell you how good it feels to come home.
00:00:37Welcome, everyone, to NXT Homecoming here tonight at Full Sail University.
00:00:44That felt real, real good.
00:00:46You got to be on top of your game if you wanna show up at NXT Homecoming.
00:00:52This is the big one, though.
00:00:53These three letters right here are something special.
00:00:57All of you took something that started as a whisper.
00:01:02And you turned it into an undeniable roar.
00:01:07NXT, NXT.
00:01:09Gentlemen, please, I know how to settle this.
00:01:12There's only one way.
00:01:13War Games.
00:01:16Where is it coming from?
00:01:23I'm just reminded of that time, you know, coming up.
00:01:27And there was just so many people had so much potential.
00:01:29But to be honest, there's so much potential in this building right now.
00:01:32Javon, the sky is the limit for you.
00:01:35One of the greatest NXT superstars of all time.
00:01:40Finn Balor has come home.
00:01:43Plexus King just got dropped again by Miles born here at Homecoming.
00:01:50One thing for show, two things for certain.
00:01:54That's all it is.
00:01:56And that's all it's gonna be.
00:01:58Turning back the clock for Homecoming.
00:02:02Welcome back home, D-I-Y.
00:02:06Hey, The Miz!
00:02:08What in the hell?
00:02:09The official didn't see it.
00:02:11The Miz helped Trick Mellow steal this.
00:02:15I have an idea.
00:02:16How about next week we do Trick Williams, the TNA champion.
00:02:19The NXT champion over Femi.
00:02:22Winner takes all.
00:02:24I can already see all the TNA flops crying online.
00:02:27May the best man win.
00:02:29He will.
00:02:31This is where the women's revolution started.
00:02:35Right here at Full Sail University.
00:02:38The women have always been the backbone of NXT.
00:02:41And that's never gonna change.
00:02:43Oh, we gon' do it.
00:02:45Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh yeah!
00:02:49JCJ looking to run.
00:02:51Wait a minute.
00:02:52The number one contender.
00:02:54This is a dream team.
00:02:56Standing tall to Fatal Influence.
00:02:58Who says you can't go home?
00:03:01You are the ones that said NXT.
00:03:04That future is now.
00:03:07You are the ones that shouted at the top of your lungs.
00:03:12We are NXT.
00:03:24Well, it is a big fight feel in the performance center tonight.
00:03:27There.
00:03:28TNA champion Trick Williams says he is carrying two brands.
00:03:33Tonight, he's gonna have a chance to prove it.
00:03:36Or will it be Obofemi?
00:03:37260 plus days as NXT champion.
00:03:40Champion versus champion.
00:03:41Title versus title in our main event on NXT.
00:03:44On NXT.
00:03:45My way, my life.
00:03:58My way, my life.
00:03:59My way, my life.
00:04:19Well, both are wasting no time again.
00:04:21This is a lights out matchup.
00:04:23And literally, Myles Bourne has just turned the lights out inside the performance center.
00:04:28Tell it like it is, man.
00:04:29You got a bell?
00:04:30Tell it like it is.
00:04:31No holds barred.
00:04:32That's what this, no rules.
00:04:33Oh.
00:04:34In essence, that's what this here, right here, Vic.
00:04:36Raw's first match 24 hours ago was an Otis qualification six man.
00:04:40And we're kicking things off with these two.
00:04:42Our official hasn't signaled for the bell yet.
00:04:45But again, you're right.
00:04:46There's no rules.
00:04:47Anything's legal.
00:04:49And finally, a little bit of light.
00:04:51But Booker, this is such a unique matchup.
00:04:53I mean, the rules are simple as we've said, but pinball submission has to take place inside the ring.
00:04:58But how dangerous does the dark nature of this arena make it for the competitors as we're officially underway?
00:05:05Definitely gives it a different feel, a sense of urgency in a matchup like this.
00:05:10And like you just said, Vic, there is no rules in this matchup.
00:05:13So you don't have to justify anything just like that right there.
00:05:17You can just do it.
00:05:18I will have to say that Miles Bourne with a nice dropkick took to heart what Ethan Page said.
00:05:23What Ethan Page's advice was, be selfish.
00:05:26Do what's needed to be done.
00:05:28Take action by any means necessary.
00:05:31Miles Bourne, over these last couple of months, he's learned a very, very valuable lesson.
00:05:37DTA.
00:05:38DTA.
00:05:39Don't trust anybody.
00:05:40Here we go.
00:05:41That belly-to-belly that landed Lexus King right on that steel chair.
00:05:45This is the third Lights Out match in NXT history.
00:05:48Fourth in WWE history.
00:05:50Booker, do you know who was in the first ever Lights Out match in WWE history?
00:05:54Let me go ahead and see it.
00:05:55Go ahead and see it.
00:05:56I want to see if you remember.
00:05:57I think I do.
00:05:58Go right here.
00:05:59It was you and The Rock.
00:06:00Exactly.
00:06:01And I beat the hell out of you.
00:06:02And I beat the hell out of you.
00:06:03And I beat the hell out of you.
00:06:04Just like Lexus Higgins doing right now.
00:06:06That's exactly what I'm talking about.
00:06:08Into the cover goes King, hook of the leg, and a near fall.
00:06:11That matchup, by the way, ended in a no contest.
00:06:13But look, both men's senses are gonna be on a high alert in this matchup.
00:06:17And bang!
00:06:18Lexus King may not be able to see, but he found his target.
00:06:21That's the right word there.
00:06:22Instinct is what's gonna be needed in a matchup like this.
00:06:25Resiliency is what's gonna be needed in a match like this.
00:06:28You got to leave it in the middle of that square circle, man.
00:06:31Did you ever despise someone, anyone, enough to justify entering a match like this?
00:06:37I mean, these two have, this has gotten personal very quickly.
00:06:41It's about being the best in this business.
00:06:44Lexus King is looking for his shot.
00:06:46When you see a kid like Miles Bourne stepping in the pitch, you wanna take this kid out.
00:06:51You wanna chastise him just like Miles, just like Lexus is doing right there.
00:06:56All that man, the TV star.
00:06:58Give it to him, baby.
00:06:59Look, Lexus King remembers that it was Miles Bourne who came out of the darkness of Finn Balor's entrance to attack him.
00:07:05To attack him last week at homecoming.
00:07:07Textful, textful, textful.
00:07:08Another suplex, textful.
00:07:09On the chair, into the cover and Bourne.
00:07:12Oh, baby.
00:07:13Kicking out.
00:07:14Can we give Lexus Green King some props right now, man?
00:07:17No.
00:07:18I said green, cuz I'm thinking about those Christmas green dundas.
00:07:20That's the way he's making me feel right now, because the king is smooth inside the square circle.
00:07:25I thought you were gonna say the cream rises to the top, but can we agree on this?
00:07:28That this has been a long time coming.
00:07:30Lexus King was sitting in the front row of the crowd with headphones on.
00:07:34They've had matches together.
00:07:35There's been attacks verbally, physically between these two.
00:07:38This needs to end tonight.
00:07:40It's a personal issue here.
00:07:41I mean, no doubt it's a personal issue.
00:07:43Lexus King has taken it a little bit further by trying to take out the eyesight of this young man.
00:07:49I mean, right there, that right there just took it up another level.
00:07:52Look at me, friends!
00:07:53What a way to kick off tonight, of course.
00:07:55No Mercy implications in our main event.
00:07:57Who leaves with the TNA and NXT title?
00:08:00The winner will face Ricky Saints at No Mercy this Saturday in Fort Lauderdale.
00:08:06But that is as big as it gets in our main event.
00:08:09Yes, indeed, it doesn't get any bigger than that.
00:08:12But right now, we gotta stay focused.
00:08:14Stay focused on the task ahead right now.
00:08:16Hey, Booker, look how hard it is just for us to watch the monitors of the action that's taking place in the ring.
00:08:22You can almost barely see these two at times.
00:08:25Oh, man.
00:08:26What's happening right here in the military.
00:08:28You know, what I've learned about Lexus King is this guy, he would like you just said earlier,
00:08:33he wouldn't do anything by any means necessary to become that television star, that prime time player.
00:08:41Absolutely relentless is Lexus King.
00:08:44The mild thorn with a snap of a power slam.
00:08:49Who is gonna survive this Lights Out match?
00:08:52Kicking things off tonight with our Lights Out match.
00:09:09Again, just the third Lights Out match in NXT history.
00:09:13Again, it's so, I mean, you can't even see what's around the ring.
00:09:17One false step, you could fall into the barricade, you could fall into a light,
00:09:20you could fall into the hell, you could fall into the steel steps.
00:09:23And that's why you see a guy like Miles Borne right now keeping Lexus King very close to the body,
00:09:29landing big, big strikes on this young man.
00:09:32Oh, yes!
00:09:34And again, that spine meeting steel.
00:09:37Saw that, didn't he?
00:09:39It's the hardest part of the ring right there, right there on the apron.
00:09:43Right there with the steel meets the, that hard, hard wood, man.
00:09:50Well, Borne, no!
00:09:55And Lexus King!
00:09:56Oh, yes!
00:09:58We're about to get busy, dog.
00:10:03The official, whoa, whoa, watch out, Borne.
00:10:05Watch it out.
00:10:06The official paying the price as well.
00:10:15All of this, by the way, a reminder, is legal.
00:10:18It's legal.
00:10:19How do you?
00:10:25It's all legal and you can hear what the NXT Universe thinks of this man,
00:10:30Lexus King.
00:10:32Just-
00:10:33No, no, no, not this!
00:10:34The Coronation!
00:10:35And now he's like a-
00:10:36The Coronation!
00:10:37He's about to taste the rainbow, baby!
00:10:39The Coronation!
00:10:40The Coronation!
00:10:41And the damn table didn't even break, Book!
00:10:44It's hardcore, man.
00:10:48These are hardcore rooms, Mick.
00:10:51Anything goes!
00:11:00Trying to get everything back in order here as Lexus King into the ring.
00:11:04Oh, she's the half!
00:11:05Hook of the leg!
00:11:06And able to kick out still some fight.
00:11:10And Miles Borne.
00:11:12I mean, everything's just heavy with Book.
00:11:14You all right?
00:11:15I'm good.
00:11:16Making sure you're fine.
00:11:18Candy Dish is not, but we'll talk about that later.
00:11:20Lexus King just taking off that belt.
00:11:23And that belt-
00:11:24Yes!
00:11:25Taste the leather, baby!
00:11:27Taste the leather!
00:11:28And it's all legal.
00:11:33I say, this match, you don't have to justify anything, man.
00:11:37It has come to this.
00:11:40If it happens, it happens.
00:11:41It has come to this.
00:11:43Between these two, a lights out match between King and Thorne on NXT.
00:11:49This lights out match continuing, and again, it's so hard to see even right in front of us.
00:12:02But during the break, Booker, things took a nasty turn for one Miles Borne.
00:12:07That coronation right here on the table didn't even budge, and it's all legal.
00:12:13The referee there to count the three, or to hear someone just say, I quit, as Lexus King now moving some toys around.
00:12:21That was just a tip of the ice cream, because Lexus is about to do something.
00:12:25Whoa, wait a minute.
00:12:26Yes!
00:12:27Booker, what do they say about payback?
00:12:29It's a motherfucker.
00:12:30It's a motherfucker.
00:12:31And right now, Borne just swinging away.
00:12:33Big shot there.
00:12:35And look, Miles Borne has dealt with Lexus King's over the years.
00:12:39Wait a minute, watch out!
00:12:40His entire life.
00:12:41Watch out!
00:12:42My God, he doesn't need to hold back.
00:12:44But King is not holding back right now.
00:12:46Swinging for the fences was King.
00:12:49Stop positioning right here, man.
00:12:51I mean, Miles Borne, he's a kid that's looking to move up the ladder, but
00:12:55he's got somebody trying to stop him at the gate.
00:12:58His name is Lexus King, and he's going to a hell of a job here tonight.
00:13:02If Lexus King has believed that everything Miles Borne is gonna get in this match,
00:13:08he had coming.
00:13:09I mean, he is.
00:13:10He's getting a beating right now.
00:13:12Well, you can't even agree with me that King didn't have a beat down coming
00:13:15for everything he's done to this man?
00:13:17Look here, man, I'm not trying to-
00:13:18Mocking Miles for weeks.
00:13:19Look here, I'm not trying to justify anything.
00:13:21I mean, this is business.
00:13:23Right now, this is about who I got here and showing who is the best in the match.
00:13:27This is the best in the middle of this week.
00:13:29Here we go.
00:13:30Here we go.
00:13:31And Miles now.
00:13:33A little slingshot in to that steel chair that King had set up.
00:13:40Lexus took the part of all of that steel chair right there, man.
00:13:45And you know Miles Borne right now is fired up.
00:13:47He's also fed up.
00:13:48He's been mocked for weeks.
00:13:50It was Lexus King who cheated in the blindfold match as well.
00:13:54And King hasn't stopped talking since that victory.
00:13:58He's talking like a clap on a duck's ass in the locker room.
00:14:01But right now, he's taking it to Miles Borne.
00:14:03This is awesome!
00:14:07Yeah!
00:14:09Yeah!
00:14:10NXT Universe on their feet.
00:14:13Channing, this is awesome.
00:14:16This is nasty.
00:14:17Did you hear that?
00:14:18No, I did.
00:14:19Did you hear that?
00:14:20And I just looked over and you can't really get a great shot of it.
00:14:22But the welts that are forming on the back of Miles Borne.
00:14:25Wait a minute.
00:14:26Wait a minute.
00:14:27Wait a minute.
00:14:28Wait a minute.
00:14:29Wait a minute.
00:14:30Well, the referee might need to step in now.
00:14:31What are you talking about?
00:14:32There's crossing a line.
00:14:33Dammit, Booker.
00:14:34Come on!
00:14:35No, Lexus!
00:14:36Miles!
00:14:37Ah!
00:14:38Pig spear!
00:14:39Holy shit!
00:14:40Holy shit!
00:14:41Holy shit!
00:14:42Holy shit!
00:14:43Holy shit!
00:14:44Holy shit!
00:14:45Holy shit!
00:14:46Take another look.
00:14:47Just feel that impact.
00:14:49Bang!
00:14:50These two are willing to destroy themselves to destroy the other.
00:15:14A match like this, this lights out match, you learn so much about yourself.
00:15:18And I'm gonna tell you this kid Miles Borne.
00:15:20No.
00:15:21It's looking great, but right there took a big shot.
00:15:23Big shot by Lexus.
00:15:24You know Lexus seems to be one step ahead of this young man here tonight, Vic.
00:15:28Well, you gotta go back to maybe that coronation here on our announce test to steal the vial.
00:15:33Steel chair, that was felt earlier.
00:15:38Bringing us right now at Borne again.
00:15:41Oh, you're talking about Miles Borne right now to step ahead.
00:15:44And now Borne getting some payback.
00:15:46Baby.
00:15:47Get a receipt.
00:15:48He's a whooping boy.
00:15:49That's what it's called.
00:15:50Come on, man.
00:15:58Lexus running away might have been the smartest thing he's ever done, but
00:16:01there's nowhere to run.
00:16:02And super kick.
00:16:04Beautiful how he created a little bit of space right there to land that kick.
00:16:08Beautiful awareness there by Lexus Cage.
00:16:11Wait a minute.
00:16:12Looking for maybe another.
00:16:14Buzzing for coronation.
00:16:16Maybe now it's a suplex.
00:16:18I don't like this man.
00:16:19Miles Borne fighting for his career.
00:16:22Fighting for the match.
00:16:23It's a DDT.
00:16:24DDT.
00:16:25Perfect.
00:16:26Planting right on that steel steps.
00:16:31And now what's going through the mind of Miles Borne.
00:16:41And Miles with a Borne again table snap combo.
00:16:47Into the cover.
00:16:48And it's lights out for Lexus.
00:16:52Wow.
00:16:53Here is your winner, Miles Borne.
00:16:58And Miles Borne snaps into it tonight.
00:17:09That man fought his heart out, Vic.
00:17:11Let me say that again.
00:17:13There was a massive counter which probably saved the matchup.
00:17:17And then right here.
00:17:18Bam!
00:17:19Snapping through the table with that Borne again.
00:17:23And for Miles, it has to feel so exhilarating.
00:17:28So good.
00:17:29Like some weight off of his shoulders.
00:17:32As Miles overcomes another obstacle.
00:17:35Can he take the next step in NXT?
00:17:43Guys, I'm still in England taking care of business.
00:17:45So I'm trusting you two to run the show tonight.
00:17:47You hear that, Rob?
00:17:48She's in my home country and not yours.
00:17:50Smart woman.
00:17:51I am from America.
00:17:52Look, Ava, you could definitely trust us.
00:17:54All right?
00:17:55We got this.
00:17:56Hey, but real quick.
00:17:58We saw some TNA wrestlers arriving here, walking around backstage.
00:18:02Did you invite them?
00:18:06Rob, you cut out.
00:18:07Could you say that again?
00:18:08Ava, we saw TNA wrestlers walking around backstage here.
00:18:11Did you invite them?
00:18:14Rob, I can't hear you.
00:18:16But whatever it is, I trust you guys to run the show.
00:18:20Ava is super important.
00:18:22She hung up.
00:18:23She hung up.
00:18:24Well, looks like the Prime Minister's in charge tonight.
00:18:28We both are, Stevie.
00:18:30We gotta figure this out.
00:18:31Well, that's an interesting situation.
00:18:33But there is the North American Champion.
00:18:36We will hear from Ethan Page next on NXT.
00:18:47Back live on NXT.
00:18:49And after what we just heard from Stevie and Rob Stone, gotta wonder if you're thinking about Mr.
00:18:54Mr. Regal's warning after TNA wrestlers went off on social media last week.
00:19:05Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the NXT North American Champion, All Eagle, Ethan Page.
00:19:19But here's a man who only cares about himself.
00:19:23But we got a special guest, just like last week.
00:19:27Dr. Wagner Jr., the Latin American Champion in AAA, is here in the Performance Center.
00:19:34This guy is so smooth.
00:19:36Ethan Page.
00:19:37I mean, it's all about the smile and that championship around his waist.
00:19:43You gotta love it, man.
00:19:49Oh, yes.
00:19:50If you foul-mouthed fans wouldn't mind giving me a second.
00:20:05Now, I should be in the ring tonight to celebrate my giant victory over that so-called Canadian, Tyler Breeze.
00:20:13But apparently we have a very, very special guest here tonight.
00:20:20Triple R, Latin American Champion, Dr. Wagner Jr.
00:20:28Now, Wagner, welcome to NXT.
00:20:39I would like to remind you that I would be standing in here, yes, the greatest North American of all time,
00:20:46but also a two-belt champion if you didn't screw me out of my victory at Worlds Collide.
00:20:54So now, Mr. Wagner, muchacho, you can sit here tonight and you can lock eyes with this gorgeous North American.
00:21:09But I would like to personally invite you, hombre, to No Mercy, where you can watch me absolutely embarrass Tavion Heights.
00:21:20Oh.
00:21:22You wanna be embarrassed tonight?
00:21:23You wanna stand up?
00:21:24Why don't I invite you in the ring?
00:21:26And we have a match right now, pal.
00:21:29Get in here.
00:21:30Oh, you don't gotta ask twice.
00:21:31I'm delayed.
00:21:32I'm delayed.
00:21:33Give me a referee.
00:21:34The doctor.
00:21:35A doctor's in the house.
00:21:37You always gotta expect the unexpected.
00:21:39Oh.
00:21:40The Triple A, Latin American Champion, taking it to Ethan Page.
00:21:45Quick.
00:21:46And we got an official.
00:21:47This one.
00:21:48Officials in the ring.
00:21:49Page taps.
00:21:50Page taps.
00:21:51Page taps.
00:21:56Give it up to Wagner.
00:21:58Worlds Collide here tonight.
00:22:03Wait a minute.
00:22:04Who the?
00:22:05It's Tavion.
00:22:06What the hell?
00:22:07Oh.
00:22:08Yeah, who's embarrassed now, Page?
00:22:12Two times in a row for Tavion.
00:22:15Can Tavion take his Heights?
00:22:18Rear the new Heights Saturday at No Mercy.
00:22:22The mask had to slip at some point.
00:22:38That's not the same Blake Monroe that I met a few weeks ago.
00:22:41I'd be scared.
00:22:43His falsies lash lift is so good.
00:22:46What did you just say?
00:22:48I said I am obsessed with his falsies lash.
00:22:50No.
00:22:51Before that.
00:22:52About being scared?
00:22:53Yeah, me.
00:22:54Not you.
00:22:55It's actually funny that you're trying to give me advice.
00:22:57Because I heard you talking to Blake a few weeks ago and you didn't really like me,
00:23:01right?
00:23:02No, no, no, no.
00:23:04That's not what I said.
00:23:06What I said was that your last name is Grace and so is mine.
00:23:09And I wanted to make sure that she knew we weren't related.
00:23:12Okay.
00:23:13Well, how about this?
00:23:14How about we show Blake and the whole world just how different Ariana Grace and Jordan Grace
00:23:20really are tonight.
00:23:22You're so funny, Jordan.
00:23:24You don't have to do that.
00:23:26Jordan!
00:23:27Jordan!
00:23:28Damn it.
00:23:31One, two, three, two, three.
00:23:35Ariana Grace always finding herself in trouble.
00:23:48But there are two women left.
00:23:52Here is the first ever women's speed champion in history.
00:23:56And the question is, who is headed to No Mercy?
00:24:03Who is headed to face Sol Ruka?
00:24:06We will find out live, we find out next on NXT.
00:24:26And there is NASCAR's Cole Custer.
00:24:53The following contest is a WWE Women's Speed Tournament match with a three-minute time limit.
00:25:00Introducing first, from Riverside, California, Candice LeRae.
00:25:10Hell of a driver, hell of a ring announcer.
00:25:14Yeah!
00:25:15And her opponent, from Gadsden, Alabama, Lady Reed!
00:25:31Well, NXT is hitting the road and coming to a city near you.
00:25:36Check out NXT Live at Kemba Live in Columbus, Ohio on October the 9th.
00:25:40The Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan on October the 10th.

00:25:52And could one of these women be there as the speed champion?
00:25:59The winner of this matchup will head to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
00:26:02No Mercy this Saturday to compete for the speed championship.
00:26:10There is the champion on the right, Sol Ruka, Zarya on the left.
00:26:14And you know, I can't believe Tavion Heights has Dr. Wagner beat Ethan Page in an impromptu non-title matchup.
00:26:20Tavion though could have a championship, could have some gold around his waist Saturday at No Mercy.
00:26:25I like the thoughts of Tavion Heights right there trying to get one up on a man like Ethan Page right now.
00:26:31It's all about the speed match right now, man.
00:26:33Into the cover, 20 seconds off the clock, hook of the leg, and a near fall.
00:26:36Urgency is of the essence in a match like this, Vic.
00:26:39Another cover, another kick out.
00:26:41Whoa.
00:26:42Wait a minute.
00:26:43Look who has arrived.
00:26:44Booker, that's the Angel Warriors of TNA Wrestling.
00:26:49You ain't lying.
00:26:50They're in the, they're in the house.
00:26:51They're in the house.
00:26:52They're in the house.
00:26:53But I gotta go back to what Stevie and Mr. Stone said that TNA wrestlers just walking around right now.
00:26:58You know, I didn't wanna get ahead of ourselves or anything like that.
00:27:01You still should not, they could be here for anything.
00:27:03Come on.
00:27:04That's true.
00:27:05Let's stay focused.
00:27:06Let's focus on the task at hand.
00:27:07Laney Reed right now.
00:27:08Candice LeRae one minute off the clock.
00:27:10They're in this speed matchup.
00:27:12Oh, baby.
00:27:13And it was Candice LeRae who defeated Zia Brookside from TNA to advance.
00:27:18No mercy implications being felt in this matchup.
00:27:21Nice counter.
00:27:22And right back up.
00:27:23Laney swinging a miss.
00:27:24Candice though, looking for a German suplex.
00:27:26Laney Reed, man.
00:27:27I don't know, it's something about Laney Reed.
00:27:29She's looking to come up, man.
00:27:30In this speed tournament, it could be it.
00:27:32Oh, yes.
00:27:33Nasty landing.
00:27:34Three minute time limit here.
00:27:36But on Saturday at No Mercy, the speed title will have a five minute time limit.
00:27:40Of course, tickets on sale at SeatGeek.com for No Mercy.
00:27:43Candice looking to get the footing this time.
00:27:45Flying through the air as we got under 90 seconds left in this speed matchup.
00:27:50And Candice is a veteran of this style.
00:27:53This is her eighth career speed matchup.
00:27:55Getting right back up.
00:27:56Charging right in and dropping.
00:27:58Laney Reed.
00:27:59Oh, bad positioning right there for Laney Reed.
00:28:01Three plus submission.
00:28:02Bad, bad positioning.
00:28:03Trying to get a tap.
00:28:05Shades of her husband.
00:28:07As the champion looking on.
00:28:1060 seconds approaching.
00:28:12Laney, who wants another opportunity at goal.
00:28:14Can not tap out.
00:28:15Shifts her weight.
00:28:16Counter kick out.
00:28:17And we're under 60 seconds.
00:28:18Nice wherewithal right there by Laney Reed to get that cover.
00:28:21Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:28:22Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:28:23Wait a minute.
00:28:24So close, so close.
00:28:25Right now under 50 seconds.
00:28:26Laney Reed countering.
00:28:27Shoulders going down with the back slide.
00:28:29Another kick out.
00:28:3045 seconds left, Vic.
00:28:32Way to miss.
00:28:33Candice LeRae wants her championship back.
00:28:36Couldn't count.
00:28:37Knock out.
00:28:38Southern hospitality.
00:28:40And Laney Reed is headed to No Mercy.
00:28:43I told you.
00:28:44I told you.
00:28:45Here's your winner.
00:28:46Laney Reed.
00:28:48And how many minds has Laney changed due to her victories in this speed tournament?
00:28:55Look, she's ready to become the biggest, the largest.
00:28:58Defender with a shot like that.
00:29:00I'm talking about.
00:29:01Oh, yeah.
00:29:02Prime time.
00:29:03Prime time.
00:29:04Laney Reed.
00:29:05Candice LeRae tonight.
00:29:08Apache from AAA in the first round.
00:29:11And there you see Saturday at No Mercy.
00:29:14Can Reed.
00:29:15Check it out.
00:29:16Check it out.
00:29:17Bam.
00:29:18Oh, my word.
00:29:20Knockout shot.
00:29:22As I was saying, can Reed dethrone Sol Ruka?
00:29:26Or will another Sol be snatched?
00:29:28Women's championship from the speed title on the line Saturday at No Mercy.
00:29:39I hope everybody enjoyed homecoming.
00:29:43You know who didn't?
00:29:45Me.
00:29:46And you want to know why?
00:29:47I got two words for you.
00:29:50Lash.
00:29:51Legend.
00:29:52See, Lash, you got me thinking, man.
00:29:54You really do.
00:29:55Because you got a one-up on me a few weeks ago, and I'm gonna let you have that.
00:30:02So go ahead and enjoy your little dub.
00:30:04Frame it.
00:30:05Put it on a wall, why don't you?
00:30:07Hell, tell everybody, I beat Jada Parker.
00:30:11But make sure you tell them what happened after you got your hand raised.
00:30:15Tell them how real pressure felt when I put you through that barricade, baby.
00:30:19You be walking around here like you all that.
00:30:22But nah, I see right through you.
00:30:25Because you know at the end of the day, Jada Parker hits harder, talks louder,
00:30:30and looks better while doing it.
00:30:33So please, keep your little moment warm.
00:30:36Because the next time we step in that ring, there ain't gonna be no barricades left to break.
00:30:41It's just gonna be you, flat on your back, and Jada Parker standing over you because I just gave you the reality check you desperately need.
00:30:49This ain't over, baby.
00:30:50Not by a long shot.
00:30:52Clock.
00:30:53You're back.
00:30:56I'm back, and I'm so sorry we didn't get the chance to catch up at homecoming.
00:31:00I just had a lot going on, and I really need to talk to you.
00:31:02I just, I feel like any time I make a friend, any time I really let someone in, they just start to completely lose their mind.
00:31:10Yes.
00:31:11Yes.
00:31:12Yes.
00:31:13And that's what I can't wrap my head around.
00:31:14I mean, is it my fault?
00:31:15It can't be my fault, right?
00:31:16We done.
00:31:17That doesn't, nothing is ever your fault.
00:31:20Ever.
00:31:21That's, that's what I miss about you, Tatum.
00:31:23You know, you're weird, but you're consistently weird.
00:31:26You are weird that I can count on, and I need that back in my life.
00:31:29I just don't.
00:31:30You need me in your life?
00:31:31You're also making new friends.
00:31:32Yes, I feel.
00:31:33You're going to talk to you.
00:31:34I'm dealing with Alexa Bliss and Shia Laflea all the time.
00:31:35Oh, Duff, I'm so glad you noticed.
00:31:37Happy to talk to you.
00:31:38Hi.
00:31:39You dropped this.
00:31:41Lyra left you once before, Tatum, don't you remember?
00:31:44You're smart enough now to know that she's going to do it again if you give her the chance.
00:31:49Let's go.
00:31:50It was nice seeing you.
00:31:54Yeah, it was nice seeing you too.
00:31:55It was rude.
00:31:58It's not over until I win.
00:32:00Well, with Ava in London, Stevie and Stone made this matchup official.
00:32:08The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:32:15Introducing first from Austin, Texas, Jordan Grace.
00:32:21And this is a woman with a lot of frustration to let out, and you can obviously know why.
00:32:27Jordan Grace, Ariana Grace, one-on-one, next.
00:32:32Don't miss John Cena's last time in Boston and New York City on November 10th and November 17th.
00:32:44Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:32:47Ticketmaster.
00:32:48I don't know, man, man.
00:32:52I think I can know.
00:32:53I think I can know.
00:32:54Don't touch it.
00:32:55I think at this point you're G-pluster.
00:32:56Yeah, bro.
00:32:57We are so, so sorry.
00:32:58You know, it got crazy in there.
00:32:59I don't even know what to say, bro.
00:33:00It's okay.
00:33:01You were going fast, which was good, but it was obviously a little out of control.
00:33:06Yeah.
00:33:07It was frantic.
00:33:08So today I brought in two guys who know a little bit about going fast while keeping it under control.
00:33:13Okay.
00:33:14Oh, dang.
00:33:15Who?
00:33:16Sam Mayer and Cole Custer.
00:33:17What's up, guys?
00:33:18Great to meet you.
00:33:19Great to meet you.
00:33:20Great to meet you.
00:33:22Good to meet you.
00:33:23Good to meet you.
00:33:24I'm a huge fan.
00:33:25I love this.
00:33:26This is awesome.
00:33:27I'm so honored to be here.
00:33:28And I love that whole deal that you guys do where you say his name and he just appears.
00:33:33That's awesome.
00:33:34But I have to ask you, is it real?
00:33:36No.
00:33:37It was.
00:33:38And if y'all boys know what's good for you, you ain't going to say a damn thing.
00:33:42Unless you're trying to find out, Doc's statement harder than any Cochrane.
00:33:46Listen, man.
00:33:47I'm a huge fan and all.
00:33:48It's great.
00:33:49But I don't even know his name.
00:33:50Sin, no reason to be nervous, man.
00:33:52And plus, you know his name.
00:33:53Hey.
00:33:54It's Joe Hendry.
00:33:55Hey, no!
00:33:56Say his name and he appears.
00:34:00I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:34:03Say his name and he appears.
00:34:07Oh, you got jokes, Caleb?
00:34:08You think it's funny, bro?
00:34:09Yeah, kind of.
00:34:10Well, it seems like we keep running into each other.
00:34:12So how about you?
00:34:13No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:34:14We're not doing this again, Joe.
00:34:15Andre, your boys think they funny, huh?
00:34:17So we gonna see how funny they really are.
00:34:19Mr. Hendry, you gonna wanna think before you appear around us.
00:34:24Strap in, man.
00:34:25I'm thinking six man tag match.
00:34:27Looks like you boys are gonna see a car crash tonight.
00:34:30Dark state style.
00:34:31That's right.
00:34:32That's right.
00:34:33It is a busy, busy night for Stevie and Stone.
00:34:43And her opponent from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
00:34:48Ariana Grace.
00:34:49Booker, what would your best advice be for Ariana Grace in this matchup as she goes right after Jordan Grace?
00:35:01There it is.
00:35:02There it is.
00:35:03There it is.
00:35:04There it is.
00:35:05Take the first shot.
00:35:06It might be your only shot.
00:35:07Well, don't let that smile fool you.
00:35:08We know just how tough Ariana is, but now that bell is sounding.
00:35:10Look at Jordan Grace answering right back.
00:35:11Heard from Jordan earlier tonight.
00:35:12Always confident.
00:35:13But in your opinion, should she be worried about Blake Monroe?
00:35:16I mean, of course she should be worried.
00:35:17I mean, let me tell you something.
00:35:18Jordan Grace has finally realized that she's a threat to everyone in that locker room.
00:35:22And just like Ariana.
00:35:23And just like Ariana.
00:35:24And just like Ariana.
00:35:25You gotta strike first.
00:35:26Oh, and strike hard.
00:35:27Just like that.
00:35:28Well, her opponent believes she should be.
00:35:31That's why we're having this matchup for Ariana Grace and the comment she has made to Jordan
00:35:50Grace and the comment she has made to Jordan over the last several weeks.
00:35:54And it's hard to feel bad for Ariana.
00:35:56She's always finding- Man, big shots there.
00:35:59Having issues with others due to her opinions, but nobody home.
00:36:02And Booker, we gotta congratulate someone right now.
00:36:04Stephanie Bacare, who became the new Women's World Champion.
00:36:07We'll find out Friday on SmackDown who she'll meet in Perth for
00:36:10the Women's Crown Jewel Championship on October the 11th.
00:36:14Victory though right now, maybe, and no, not quite, for Ariana.
00:36:17Congratulations to Stephanie Bacare for doing it, you know, in rapid fashion.
00:36:22I'm talking about, like, warp speed.
00:36:24She went right to the top of this business, man, I love it.
00:36:27Look at Ariana Grace right now in control of this matchup.
00:36:29She, of course, has extensive training in MMA, fighting, judo, jiu-jitsu,
00:36:33even boxing as well, so I'll say it again.
00:36:35Don't let that smile fool you.
00:36:37Ariana Grace, she sees what's happening around here.
00:36:40Everybody trying to get a piece of the action.
00:36:42A little champagne wishing, a little caviar dream.
00:36:45I'm talking about moving to Raw, SmackDown, yes, it's urgency here tonight.
00:36:49Well, and you gotta think for Ariana Grace, if she's able to knock off Jordan here,
00:36:53that would be a statement victory in her career, would it not be?
00:36:56Statement for Ariana if she can do that, like if she landed that first big shot.
00:37:01That tells me a lot about her game playing here tonight.
00:37:04Ariana trying to get the jump on Jordan and Jordan right now.
00:37:08Using her environment to her advantage, backslide, rolling right through,
00:37:13not letting go, and stepping right into that short arm clothesline,
00:37:17pulling Ariana back up to knock her back down.
00:37:20Beautiful there by Jordan maintaining control over the third clothesline, but
00:37:24misses it.
00:37:25Ariana misses swinging wildly, and just got caught with that spine buster.
00:37:30Rolling right through, and Jordan hoisting up Ariana.
00:37:35I can smell the end, it's coming, Vic.
00:37:38With that direct effect, and Jordan takes out Ariana with Grace.
00:37:46Yeah, but she put up ahead of the fight, Ariana did.
00:37:48Gotta get her ready.
00:37:49Here's your winner, Jordan Grace.
00:37:55Victory has to feel good for Jordan Grace.
00:37:58Here tonight, back to some of the moments of this matchup.
00:38:01Bam!
00:38:02That spine buster really was the turning point, and then this direct effect.
00:38:07Showcasing that power, it's on display from Jordan Grace once again.
00:38:14It is, uh, what the hell is this?
00:38:18That's Stax.
00:38:20That's Channing Stax Lorenzo out here.
00:38:23Oh, Booker.
00:38:25Hold the phone, dog.
00:38:27Hold the damn phone.
00:38:29Blake Monroe, and she's not coming alone.
00:38:34Jordan Grace realizing it, and these two women.
00:38:38Taking it to one another.
00:38:44No remorse between these two.
00:38:47No love loss.
00:38:48Just a lot of hatred.
00:38:50Oh, no.
00:38:51She saw that look just a couple of weeks ago in Blake's eyes, man.
00:38:58Look at her now.
00:38:59Blake Monroe has said time and time again, she is ready to take Jordan Grace straight to hell.
00:39:05And we're gonna need more than just these officials and just these security guards.
00:39:09We're gonna need everyone out here to separate these two.
00:39:12Hey girls, girls, girls, enough, enough, enough.
00:39:22Tonight, Ava, she put us in charge.
00:39:26And if you want each other that bad, this Saturday, grab anything you can get your hands on.
00:39:33Because at no mercy, you're gonna have a weapons match.
00:39:37Hey, hey, you know something, Stevie?
00:39:41I think we could go bigger than that.
00:39:43All right.
00:39:44Listen, no more running.
00:39:46No more sneak attacks.
00:39:48Saturday, this ends.
00:39:50And you can bring all the weapons you want, because it's gonna be inside a steel cage.
00:39:57Look, Grace Monroe in a weaponized steel cage Saturday at No Mercy.
00:40:05Blaney Reed, after beating Candice LeRae, you are officially headed to No Mercy to challenge Sol Ruka for the WWE Speed Championship.
00:40:14Let's tell the truth here, Kelly.
00:40:16I finally got the opportunity I've been asking for, and look what happened.
00:40:19I beat Triple A's best, Fabi Apache.
00:40:22I just knocked off an NXT icon.
00:40:25And now this Saturday, I face Sol Ruka.
00:40:27And sure, maybe Sol Ruka's the most athletic woman in NXT.
00:40:31Hell, WWE.
00:40:32But after I give Sol Ruka a little southern hospitality, I'll be leaving her next speed champion.
00:40:37You know, I gotta hand it to you, Laney.
00:40:41That was a very impressive win out there.
00:40:43Good luck at No Mercy.
00:40:44Right back at you, champ.
00:40:46Thanks.
00:40:47On second thought, I can handle Lola by myself.
00:40:53She cannot be serious.
00:40:57Back live on NXT with Booker's Rockstar ready for the spotlight.
00:41:05Take it, dog.
00:41:06And as we heard before the break, the champion said she's gonna do it all alone.
00:41:20The champion of NXT will take over this game.
00:41:28Please welcome the NXT Women's Champion,
00:41:33JC Jane!
00:41:37Stand up.
00:41:38Stand up, man.
00:41:39It's all asking book, is it wise for JC Jayne to be out here with no backup?
00:41:49But sometimes when you want something done properly,
00:41:53when you want it done right, damn it, you do it yourself.
00:41:58You feel me? You feel me, Doug?
00:42:01I do every Tuesday when I'm sitting out here on commentary.
00:42:04Sometimes I just have to do it myself.
00:42:08Hi, you're asking for it here tonight.
00:42:20Let's all pretend like last week never happened.
00:42:24Like Rhea didn't pin me, that Lola didn't back fist me and cost me the match.
00:42:31Because truth be told, none of that really matters.
00:42:38Because at the end of the day, whether you people like it or not, for over 100 days I have been standing in your face as the NXT Women's Champion.
00:42:50And I have single-handedly gotten rid of every single label that you people tried to put on me.
00:43:02The third wheel, most beatable champion, transitional champion.
00:43:09Yeah, all so cute, but all so wrong.
00:43:13And that's why I find it incredibly pathetic, comical.
00:43:18It's actually laughable that you people wanna live in this fantasy that the one that's gonna dethrone me is Lola Vice.
00:43:30I mean, be so for real, Lola Vice, a crossover act, pretending to be a wrestler in my division.
00:43:43But hey, she's flashy, right?
00:43:46She has a million followers on Instagram.
00:43:49Awesome.
00:43:50Congratulations.
00:43:52But you know what, Lola?
00:43:54I will give you your flowers because you have improved immensely.
00:44:00But you're nowhere near ready to hold this.
00:44:06And you know what?
00:44:07I'll be the first to admit, you have quite the hometown hero story going for you.
00:44:13Hometown crowd, triple-A momentum, camera-ready tears just in case you finally pull it off and win the title.
00:44:23But Lola, sweetheart, wake up.
00:44:28That's the JC Jane story.
00:44:31I shocked the world.
00:44:33Been there, done that.
00:44:36Lola, you are not the underdog in this story.
00:44:41I am.
00:44:44I was the one who was humiliated, thrown to the side, told that I was never gonna make it.
00:44:51But while you were out there shaking your ass, I was out there busting my ass to get to the top.
00:45:00No family, no MMA background, no hometown advantage is gonna save you for what's coming your way at No Mercy.
00:45:12And absolutely no one is gonna ruin that for me.
00:45:16J.C. Jane, I wouldn't expect anything less.
00:45:26Another person talking about my ass.
00:45:31Well, at least I have an ass to shake, mama.
00:45:37A hundred days as champ.
00:45:44Wow.
00:45:45That's impressive.
00:45:47But you're barely surviving.
00:45:50You've always needed somebody.
00:45:52I don't.
00:45:54And for all those years you spent being a toxic third wheel and finding an easy way to become champion.
00:46:05I was knocking woman out in order to earn my opportunity.
00:46:11You know what's crazy?
00:46:16I remember being in the Sierra ring ago before facing Roxanne.
00:46:22I was nervous.
00:46:24I was emotional.
00:46:26I mean the Lola before would have probably cried at this opportunity in front of my family.
00:46:31You guys saw it.
00:46:33But that's not who I am anymore, J.C.
00:46:38This time, this time it's different.
00:46:43I stand before you a year later a completely different person.
00:46:50More than a fighter.
00:46:52A professional wrestler.
00:46:56A WWE superstar.
00:47:01And for as much as I wanna win this title for my family, for my culture, and for myself,
00:47:09this is also for all these people here who always believed in me and had my back.
00:47:16Okay.
00:47:17All right.
00:47:18Nobody cares about you people.
00:47:21Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola.
00:47:26At No Mercy.
00:47:28And Dios mio, I'm so glad it's called No Mercy because that's exactly what I'm gonna show you
00:47:37when I knock you out and become the new NXT Women's Champion.
00:47:42Okay, all right.
00:47:44You're all fickle.
00:47:47You know what, Lola?
00:47:49I'm fully aware that more than likely, you're gonna beat my ass on Saturday.
00:47:55But you know what, Lola?
00:47:59I see you.
00:48:01I know you.
00:48:03I know that since the day you walked in here, you've been looking for validation.
00:48:09You wanna make your mama and papa so proud.
00:48:14You want your sisters to be proud to look up to you.
00:48:19But mama, I can promise you that somehow, some way, I will be walking out with this title.
00:48:29And my reality very well may be a broken nose or a broken jaw.
00:48:37But your reality, come no mercy, is when you're gonna look both of your parents in the eyes
00:48:44and tell them that all those sacrifices that they made for you was for nothing.
00:48:53Because I'm gonna be walking out still your NXT Women's Champion.
00:48:59And you're gonna be walking out knowing you're your family's biggest disappointment.
00:49:06I'm the best.
00:49:13Lola couldn't hold it in anymore.
00:49:18Will this be the scene in Fort Lauderdale this Saturday?
00:49:23Who walks out Women's Champion at No Mercy?
00:49:27Well, Stevie and Stone have signed off on this.
00:49:34Who will be victorious?
00:49:36This matchup presented by Progressive.
00:49:38It's a six-man tag team matchup.
00:49:41It's live.
00:49:42It's next on NXT.
00:50:04And it's a busy week for NXT.
00:50:12No Mercy Saturday in Fort Lauderdale.
00:50:14Of course, live tonight inside the Performance Center here in Orlando.
00:50:18And WWE Podcasts have you set with another stacked lineup.
00:50:22Once again, you can take a look at it.
00:50:24Huge guests across the board.
00:50:26Don't miss a second of any WWE Podcasts.
00:50:30Time for tonight's NXT Spotlight.
00:50:34Presented by Progressive.
00:50:37I can do things in this ring that most men can only dream of.
00:50:44I'm a big man that can fly.
00:50:47I can lean fast.
00:50:49I can hit real damn hard.
00:50:51And I can beat the hell out of someone.
00:50:54But I keep being told the same thing.
00:50:57That I don't connect with the fans.
00:51:00I'm not relatable.
00:51:03No matter how hard I tried to please the WWE Universe.
00:51:06No matter how hard I busted my ass.
00:51:08It didn't matter.
00:51:09You never cared and you never will.
00:51:11But finally, I stopped giving a damn about what a bunch of online tough guys
00:51:15and fat podcasters had to say about me.
00:51:19You're a damn fan.
00:51:21You're a seat filler.
00:51:22And that is all you will ever be.
00:51:24Nobody can deny my tag.
00:51:26You don't want me to win, but it eats you alive.
00:51:29Knowing that I have the skill.
00:51:31You're all hypocrites.
00:51:33When I come out, you tell me.
00:51:39But what are you saying when my match ends?
00:51:46Maybe you're the ones who don't get it.
00:51:49Just like Javon Evans.
00:51:51He lives and dies by your approval.
00:51:55He wants to be loved and he'll put his body through hell to entertain you.
00:52:01That approval that he's chasing.
00:52:03It makes him weak.
00:52:05This Saturday, at No Mercy, I'm gonna show Javon Evans and everyone watching that everything else is just moose.
00:52:15I don't give a damn if I connect with you when my boot connects with his face.
00:52:20So chain whatever the hell you want.
00:52:24The only chant I care about is one, two, three.
00:52:30Well, Briggs, no doubt, will show No Mercy Saturday.
00:52:42Here we go.
00:52:44And Booker, these four show No Mercy every time we see them.
00:53:00You're talking about Dark State, right?
00:53:04You're talking about that self-contained unit.
00:53:06These guys are like a pack of wolves, man.
00:53:10A pack of wild dogs.
00:53:12Eat you up.
00:53:14Spits you up.
00:53:16Spits you out.
00:53:17Oh, yes.
00:53:20The following contest is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:53:25In June 1st, representing Chase University, Kale Dixon and Uriah Connor.
00:53:33You can see Andre Chase not at 100%.
00:53:36Wasn't it nice to see Chase firing up his new jersey?
00:53:39Joe Hendricks!
00:53:41Why do you always laugh at that?
00:53:43He appears.
00:53:45I believe in Joe Hendricks.
00:53:49I believe in Joe Hendricks.
00:53:53People in London, and Paris, and Tokyo, America, Scotland, and Canada.
00:53:59And their tag team partner, from Edinburgh, Scotland.
00:54:04252 pounds of pure motivation, Joe Hendricks!
00:54:14Come on, Book.
00:54:15Joe Hendricks has quite the sense of humor, does he not?
00:54:18He does.
00:54:19I mean, can I say this?
00:54:21Joe Hendricks, he gets a lot of fanfare here in NXT, right?
00:54:26But let's be honest, he's an outsider.
00:54:28Oh, and Dark State.
00:54:29He's an outsider.
00:54:30He's an outsider.
00:54:31He's a TNA guy.
00:54:32That's what happens to TNA guys when they step in here.
00:54:34Well, Dark State does not have a sense of humor.
00:54:37At all.
00:54:38Never smiling.
00:54:40Only when the Uriah can have it.
00:54:42Creating chaos.
00:54:43Derrick Sanders gets this under control.
00:54:45It's Connors.
00:54:46Whoa.
00:54:47And Sugar's starting things off.
00:54:49You talk about TNA.
00:54:50I mean, there was a lot of angry individuals last week from TNA.
00:54:54And some NXT superstars right now in the locker room.
00:54:57And they have their interest peaked, so to speak, and rightfully so.
00:55:01I mean, we've heard what we've heard all night long from Stevie and Stone.
00:55:04There's TNA, wrestlers walking around.
00:55:07I mean, this is a business when you gotta always expect the unexpected.
00:55:14Off the slam and into the cover and a kick out.
00:55:18I mean, yeah, anything can happen, but you start to wonder is this matchup continuing
00:55:23for these six superstars.
00:55:25A tag was made.
00:55:26What is Dark State looking to accomplish?
00:55:28Just getting dropped there by Connors, not paired.
00:55:30Dixon with a big splash.
00:55:32Into the cover, hook of the leg.
00:55:34Big shot there by Dixon.
00:55:35Dixon and Connors, I think they're trying to prove themselves.
00:55:38Prove themselves to the University of Chase.
00:55:41And Chase, Andre Chase.
00:55:42I think that's what it is more than it is, baby.
00:55:44I give these two young kids a lot of credit.
00:55:46A lot of credit for that.
00:55:47Well, then you gotta give credit to Andre Chase.
00:55:49Who's the fixer then?
00:55:50I give it no credit.
00:55:51I give it no credit.
00:55:52I give it no credit.
00:55:53I mean, these two young kids have stepped up proud to keep the University of
00:55:55Doors open.
00:55:56Give these girls.
00:55:57These guys a hard paddle back.
00:55:59Do that.
00:56:00Well, then if you were Chase U, if you were Dixon or Connors, would you be trying to
00:56:04fire up Dark State like they did earlier?
00:56:06Well, I wouldn't, because like I said, these guys are like a pack of hungry dogs.
00:56:10They're hungry for success.
00:56:11Ooh, nice.
00:56:12Hungry for big time success.
00:56:13Cover, cover, cover, cover.
00:56:14And this would be a big victory for Chase U.
00:56:17And you have to think, Book, a victory tonight for Dixon and Connors.
00:56:23Do they get put in Tag Team Championship contention as Joe Hendry checks in the match.
00:56:27No.
00:56:28That's not what this is about, right here.
00:56:29I mean, this is about a little bit of payback.
00:56:31Trying to be redeemed.
00:56:32Actually trying to redeem Andre Chase more than anything.
00:56:37Yes.
00:56:42Man, Deion didn't want to feel that again.
00:56:48And look, when you take a look at Joe Hendry, he's proof, hard work pays off.
00:56:52Do it the right way.
00:56:53The exact opposite of all four men in Dark State who wanted to cut the line.
00:56:58They wanted to jump to the front.
00:57:00Joe Hendry proof, hard work does indeed.
00:57:03Wait a minute now.
00:57:05Well, things starting to break down a little bit.
00:57:07Oh, yes.
00:57:08What's up?
00:57:10Dixon taking out one, Hendry taking out two.
00:57:14And now a little bit, oh, you're gonna need more than just, yeah,
00:57:17you're gonna need all three of these men to take the big man down.
00:57:20Osiris wiped out.
00:57:24Joe Hendry quarterback at this thing.
00:57:27Yeah, here we go.
00:57:28Kale Dixon take it to the air.
00:57:31Showing you his evolution as a superstar.
00:57:35I've never seen something like that from that kid.
00:57:39And look who's standing tall right now on NXT.
00:57:44WWE, WWE.
00:57:59Whoever you're watching around the world, this six-man tag team match is continuing.
00:58:03It was made by Stevie and Stone.
00:58:07Abe, of course, is not here, but they have had one hell of a night tonight.
00:58:12Look, what is Andre Chase's title?
00:58:14What is it?
00:58:15I'm talking about Stevie and Stone.
00:58:17Is he the dean?
00:58:18Is he the principal?
00:58:20What is he?
00:58:21It's his university, Booker.
00:58:24It's Chase University.
00:58:26He is Andre Chase.
00:58:27He is the CEO.
00:58:28He is the teacher.
00:58:29He is the janitor.
00:58:30He is the principal.
00:58:31He is the vice principal.
00:58:32He's the counselor.
00:58:33He's everything.
00:58:34It's his university.
00:58:35Sound like that?
00:58:37Cover.
00:58:50This matchup rolling on.
00:58:52I come to you again.
00:58:54All joking aside, Andre Chase is firing up his students.
00:58:59Andre Chase has put Dixon and Connors in a winning position.
00:59:02You just said to yourself, where's Dixon getting this from?
00:59:05You don't think that's because of Andre Chase and the tutelage?
00:59:07I think Connors and Dixon is actually firing up Andre Chase as much as they can,
00:59:12trying to pop this guy up from going into some kind of deep depression like he did.
00:59:17Something about a downward spiral again?
00:59:18Yes, exactly.
00:59:19I can see that.
00:59:20I can see that book.
00:59:21And right now you're talking about being in a dark state.
00:59:26That is-
00:59:27Oh, baby.
00:59:28Oh, baby.
00:59:29Hale Dixon, who's in the wrong part.
00:59:30Teamwork.
00:59:31Teamwork.
00:59:32Teamwork.
00:59:33Yeah, there's your guy.
00:59:35The sugar man.
00:59:36The sugar man.
00:59:37That's the sugar man.
00:59:38Oh, there's Dion Lennox.
00:59:39Lennox, the hot head of the group.
00:59:41You don't wanna get disqualified.
00:59:43You're right, Connors.
00:59:46Hey, hey, come on.
00:59:47Get him back in the ring.
00:59:48I mean, those guys are just sitting and watching this guy get the hell beat out of him.
00:59:51I mean, what kind of partners is that?
00:59:53You don't wanna get disqualified.
00:59:55There's one of them.
00:59:56What are you talking about?
00:59:57I don't know.
00:59:58Referee's discretion.
00:59:59Into the cover.
01:00:00Hook of the leg.
01:00:01Dixon able to kick out.
01:00:02Well, maybe Andre Chase is trying to be smart about things.
01:00:05Maybe he doesn't want to get disqualified by sending everybody over here.
01:00:09You're helping your partner with these in dire straits like that, Dixon.
01:00:12I mean, if it was you, it might be different.
01:00:14All right?
01:00:15It might be different.
01:00:16You're saying you wouldn't come help me?
01:00:17I would not help.
01:00:19Well, a tag was made and Dixon's gonna need all the help he can get.
01:00:24Because he is just getting broken and beaten down by Dark State.
01:00:30Sugars is legal.
01:00:31He made the tag.
01:00:32Oh, baby, Osiris devised.
01:00:34And Sugars calls for the cover.
01:00:37Hooks a leg and another kick out.
01:00:39I mean, right now Dark State is just slowly, methodically beating these men down.
01:00:46NXT Universe trying to rally Chase University.
01:00:54And I don't think it's working right now, Book.
01:00:58Now the Sugar Man one step ahead of Kale Dixon right there.
01:01:03He's looking great.
01:01:04The team's looking great.
01:01:05Well, Dark State are four men with a goal to destroy.
01:01:09Four men with one mission.
01:01:11Can they be victorious here tonight on NXT?
01:01:15Kale Dixon has been in this matchup for a very long time.
01:01:25Desperately needs to make a tag as this six man tag team match has continued.
01:01:31Sugars, Osiris, Lennox have been beating this man down.
01:01:36Check it out through the break.
01:01:38Right here is the turning point.
01:01:40Part attack.
01:01:41Double up.
01:01:42Double up.
01:01:43They certainly did double up.
01:01:44And they've been doubling down.
01:01:46Tag was made.
01:01:47Dixon has just been worn down because it's Osiris who is the legal man.
01:01:51And there is the power on display from Dark State.
01:01:55Lennox tagged in.
01:01:56And the tag team champions continue to punish and brutalize Kale Dixon.
01:02:03Into the cover.
01:02:04Hook of the leg.
01:02:06On a near fall.
01:02:09Six man tech.
01:02:10What the?
01:02:11Booker.
01:02:12That's TNA's Mike Santana, the number one contender to the TNA championship.
01:02:18What is he doing here?
01:02:19Oh no.
01:02:20Is he just walking in the front door?
01:02:22I mean, Book, come on.
01:02:25You gotta have a sense of what's going on right now.
01:02:27I mean, I don't know what's going on, man.
01:02:29All right?
01:02:30I'm sitting here with you.
01:02:31All right?
01:02:32I'm watching this match play out right before our very eyes right now.
01:02:34We've seen others from TNA back on social media showing that they are here
01:02:39somewhere as we turn our focus back into this matchup.
01:02:43Big power slam.
01:02:45Osiris, cover, and Joe Hendry doing the wide set.
01:02:48And that was smart by Joe Hendry right there.
01:02:51That doesn't seem like Dark State are big fans of Joe Hendry.
01:02:54Yeah, they should be.
01:02:55Like I said, Joe Hendry's an outsider.
01:02:57They're gonna take him out.
01:03:01Thought about getting taken out.
01:03:02That is what just happened to Connors, courtesy of one half of the Tag Team Champions.
01:03:07And it's true, Dark State doesn't give a damn who you are, where you're from.
01:03:12They don't want advice from legends.
01:03:15They don't want advice from coaches.
01:03:17They believe they know what's right.
01:03:20And my question, Booker, who is gonna stand up?
01:03:23Who is going to argue with these four?
01:03:25I mean, they're a new breed.
01:03:27And the thing is, if you fight one of them, you gotta fight them all.
01:03:30That's the difference.
01:03:31With the Dark Statement right now.
01:03:33Tag!
01:03:34You gotta tag!
01:03:35And in comes Joe Hendry.
01:03:37And Hendry right now.
01:03:39All that pent-up frustration.
01:03:41Just got chopped in the throat.
01:03:43He's answering right back.
01:03:44Hard choppy.
01:03:46And look at Joe Hendry.
01:03:55Andre Chase happy on the outside knows that he could be finding another teachable moment.
01:04:01Oh, look at the strength on this young man.
01:04:05250-plus pounds of pure motivation.
01:04:20Everyone believing.
01:04:22Here inside the Performance Center.
01:04:24Maybe looking for that standing ovation.
01:04:26Referee was distracted.
01:04:27Osiris wiped out Joe Hendry.
01:04:29Seek and destroy.
01:04:32That's what these four rogue athletes have done.
01:04:35And they have done everything they have said that they would.
01:04:39And Joe Hendry, one last ditch effort for Booker.
01:04:44I'm looking over.
01:04:45There's no one there for Joe Hendry to tag.
01:04:48And Andre Chase trying to rally Connors.
01:04:51This is what I'm talking about, Book.
01:04:56Always firing up his students.
01:04:58Always firing up the university.
01:05:00Firing up the NXT universe.
01:05:02And Connors right back in this fight.
01:05:04He's a great cheerleader, Vince.
01:05:05He's a great cheerleader.
01:05:06I give him that.
01:05:07One, two, three, go!
01:05:11Connors not wasting any motion.
01:05:13That was quick.
01:05:14Measuring.
01:05:15Whoa.
01:05:16Had to switch gears for at least quite a moment.
01:05:19Osiris caught, wiped out.
01:05:21Sugars.
01:05:22I think he got a little bit.
01:05:26Overconfident.
01:05:27I like this, Connors.
01:05:29Look at this.
01:05:30DDT tornado style.
01:05:32Dark state.
01:05:37Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:05:41And Andre Chase is getting into it on the outside with Cutler James.
01:05:44Connors saw it in Connors right now.
01:05:46Oh, this came from fire.
01:05:47And systematically dissecting everybody.
01:05:50Did he do it?
01:05:51Big stunner.
01:05:52Did he do it?
01:05:53What the hell is this again?
01:05:54Derek Sanders, our official distracted, didn't see Sugars from behind.
01:05:58That knee, I think, went right on the bridge of the nose of Connors.
01:06:02Yes, indeed, right there.
01:06:04Momentum shift.
01:06:05Big momentum shift right here, Victor.
01:06:08Nothing for Andre Chase to do.
01:06:10And all he can do is turn around and see what happens.
01:06:14Good guy.
01:06:15That's it.
01:06:16That's it.
01:06:17To the cover.
01:06:18That's it.
01:06:19And Dark State victorious.
01:06:21Yes.
01:06:22Again.
01:06:23Here are your winners.
01:06:25Dark State.
01:06:28Don't spin.
01:06:29Don't.
01:06:30You're either with us or against us.
01:06:36Because when Dark State strikes, ain't nobody's safe.
01:06:39Nobody.
01:06:40Nobody.
01:06:41Nobody.
01:06:42Nobody.
01:06:49Well, in moments, we're gonna take a close look at the number one contender to the NXT Championship.
01:06:54An inside look at the man behind a revolution, Ricky Saints.
01:06:58Next.
