WEBVTT 00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:36.939 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening 00:00:36.939 --> 00:00:39.340 and welcome to another episode of Finishes and 00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:44.259 Factions Does NXT. This week we are from the 00:00:44.259 --> 00:00:47.659 Performance Center as normal and it is just me 00:00:47.659 --> 00:00:51.679 this week. So without further ado, let's get 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.359 into NXT. To start the episode off this week 00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:01.750 we had an in -ring promo between Ava and Stephanie 00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:06.489 Baker basically saying that after last week's 00:01:06.489 --> 00:01:09.590 episode of NXT where Stephanie defended her both 00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:13.689 her NXT title and her women's North American 00:01:13.689 --> 00:01:18.030 Championship in the same show and retaining both 00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:21.409 of them that she has shown everyone why she's 00:01:21.409 --> 00:01:25.269 the number one the women's division and they've 00:01:25.269 --> 00:01:28.989 come to the tough decision between Ava and Stephanie 00:01:28.989 --> 00:01:32.269 Baker that Stephanie is going to relinquish her 00:01:32.269 --> 00:01:35.969 North American title and at Stand and Deliver, 00:01:36.109 --> 00:01:39.290 a new champion will be decided for that title 00:01:39.290 --> 00:01:42.909 in a six -woman ladder match. The qualifiers 00:01:42.909 --> 00:01:45.290 for that start tonight. We have two matches for 00:01:45.290 --> 00:01:48.170 those. We'll get into them a little bit as we 00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:52.510 go. This week was mainly filler. to be fair, 00:01:52.650 --> 00:01:54.290 just finishing off some storylines, adding a 00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:57.250 few extra bits in that needed to be there and 00:01:57.250 --> 00:02:00.989 kind of carrying on towards stand and deliver 00:02:00.989 --> 00:02:07.129 in from the point I'm recording this two weeks 00:02:07.129 --> 00:02:10.689 time, just under two weeks time. So Stephanie 00:02:10.689 --> 00:02:12.849 Baker says that she knows it's not a popular 00:02:12.849 --> 00:02:16.169 decision because the reaction from the crowd 00:02:16.169 --> 00:02:20.929 in the performance center was very, very... loud 00:02:20.929 --> 00:02:25.150 and Bowie for the announcement and she basically 00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:27.270 just says that I know it's not popular but NXT 00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:29.610 has given me a lot of opportunities and she wants 00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:32.389 to do the same for everyone else and she doesn't 00:02:32.389 --> 00:02:34.330 want to hold the division back she wants to push 00:02:34.330 --> 00:02:39.610 it and to do that she's gonna give you know another 00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:42.669 wrestler an opportunity to to take on this North 00:02:42.669 --> 00:02:44.949 American title and carry it around as theirs. 00:02:45.969 --> 00:02:48.759 On the condition that she gets to choose her 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.340 opponent for Stand and Deliver. So for those 00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:54.879 of you who are not aware, Stand and Deliver is 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.879 basically NXT's version of WrestleMania. And 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.800 so from now over the next, well, we've got two 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.439 episodes left, I think. Possibly only one episode, 00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:10.520 I'm not 100 % sure, do not quote me on that one. 00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:13.879 To kind of work out who her opponent for Stand 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.560 and Deliver is gonna be. at which point we get 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.379 the juggernaut, Jordan Grace come out and basically 00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:21.560 say that, you know, after she dealt with Jada 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.379 Parker last week and she's out the window, you 00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:31.419 know, it's her time to have a crack at that NXT 00:03:31.419 --> 00:03:36.819 title in Las Vegas for stand and deliver. And 00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:39.240 it basically, we then get Jada Parker coming 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.379 out saying that if Jordan Grace had kept her 00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:43.900 ass on the floor where it should have been, it 00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:48.830 would have been Jada. Jada Parker would have 00:03:48.830 --> 00:03:52.830 been holding that title rather than Stephanie 00:03:52.830 --> 00:03:56.830 Baker and Stephanie knows it. But it's gonna 00:03:56.830 --> 00:04:00.110 be one of those things. Jordan says that Jada 00:04:00.110 --> 00:04:04.770 Parker had her shot, she fumbled it and she basically 00:04:04.770 --> 00:04:07.729 may not know how championships work if she's 00:04:07.729 --> 00:04:12.090 never had one. and that she basically needs to 00:04:12.090 --> 00:04:15.250 go to the back and restart from the beginning. 00:04:16.850 --> 00:04:19.870 We then end up getting a point where Stephanie 00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:23.889 Vacar says that they need to work out and we 00:04:23.889 --> 00:04:25.829 then get a little bit of a brawl from Jordan 00:04:25.829 --> 00:04:29.370 Grace and Jada Parker with security coming in 00:04:29.370 --> 00:04:31.930 and we have it basically finishing with Jordan 00:04:31.930 --> 00:04:38.009 Grace tossing a security member over. the top 00:04:38.009 --> 00:04:41.089 rope as though he was just an empty water bottle 00:04:41.089 --> 00:04:45.490 that she'd taken into the ring with her. And 00:04:45.490 --> 00:04:50.029 basically works out that so from this promo we 00:04:50.029 --> 00:04:53.230 have a series of matches building up to a six 00:04:53.230 --> 00:04:57.250 woman ladder match at Stand and Deliver and both 00:04:57.250 --> 00:05:00.670 Jordan, Grace and Jada Parker feel that it should 00:05:00.670 --> 00:05:06.870 be them. We do then go into a like Adam calls 00:05:06.870 --> 00:05:11.990 them a social media promo. And it's kind of pretty 00:05:11.990 --> 00:05:15.410 much, and it's all about Trick Williams saying 00:05:15.410 --> 00:05:18.089 that he challenged Ober Femi to a match at Stand 00:05:18.089 --> 00:05:21.689 and Deliver. And he hasn't heard anything back 00:05:21.689 --> 00:05:27.050 yet, where we then cut into Ober Femi being interviewed 00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:30.930 in the car park. And he basically responds saying 00:05:30.930 --> 00:05:33.670 that Trick Williams isn't the champion. over 00:05:33.670 --> 00:05:37.230 family is you know and he doesn't answer to trick 00:05:37.230 --> 00:05:41.550 williams and uh he'll and trick williams will 00:05:41.550 --> 00:05:43.490 basically find out tonight why you don't call 00:05:43.490 --> 00:05:49.310 out the ruler and we then go to a section of 00:05:49.310 --> 00:05:52.209 um into the backstage where we get reactions 00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:55.389 to the news that we heard at the start of the 00:05:55.389 --> 00:05:57.750 evening about stephanie vaker relinquishing her 00:05:57.750 --> 00:06:01.910 title and basically all hell breaks loose backstage 00:06:01.910 --> 00:06:04.980 verbally and Fallon Henley seems to be getting 00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:09.360 it worse. There is a large group of women in 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.060 the backstage and they are all just insulting 00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:15.759 each other to the point. And Fallon Henley gets, 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.120 yeah, she gets pretty much the worst of it. That 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.060 brings us in to our first match of the evening, 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.639 which is the first of the women's qualifying 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.720 matches. for that six -woman ladder match in 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.319 Las Vegas. And this first one, we get Zarya versus 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:39.759 Lash Legend. So Zarya is accompanied to the ring, 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.040 sorry, by her tag partner, Sol Ruka. And Lash 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.980 Legend comes to the ring with her tag team partner, 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.740 Jakara Jackson, part of the Meta Four. So this 00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:56.100 is, like I said, the first of the qualifying 00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:59.420 matches for that six -woman tag match. and to 00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:04.379 be fair this match when it came to it I was quite 00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:07.519 impressed by both Zarya and Lush legend are both 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.779 very strong powerful women and it kind of we 00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:15.300 got a showcase here of what strong wrestlers 00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:19.360 can do sort of within these matches especially 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.759 the the women's division and both of these guys 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:28.100 in ring and the guys on the outside with their 00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:30.720 tag teams have both had a decent run recently. 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.519 So at the start of this, both women are basically 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.240 trying to power each other out, trying to push 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.839 the other one back and forth. There's a little 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.100 bit of a here and there, a little bit of turnaround, 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.639 a little bit of catch, a little bit of just trying 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.079 to get to know each other a little bit and just 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.720 kind of get themselves loose, I suppose. The 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.839 first opportunity we had for a count was Lush 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:56.189 Legend. she got she managed to pick up a two 00:07:56.189 --> 00:08:01.709 count off a suplex and uh I mean at one point 00:08:01.709 --> 00:08:05.149 within this series Zarya tried to go for that 00:08:05.149 --> 00:08:09.449 hurricane runner um she can't quite get the end 00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:15.310 off and uh which didn't really help but she did 00:08:15.310 --> 00:08:19.649 manage to get a pretty good slap off afterwards 00:08:20.089 --> 00:08:23.310 And they go to trading pretty much in the middle 00:08:23.310 --> 00:08:27.769 of the ring. Now, for these guys, I wasn't 100 00:08:27.769 --> 00:08:32.129 % sure what we were gonna get. They're both in 00:08:32.129 --> 00:08:35.289 tag teams. They're both doing well in their tag 00:08:35.289 --> 00:08:38.809 division. Neither of them are holding gold at 00:08:38.809 --> 00:08:42.870 the moment. But, you know, the fact they've given 00:08:42.870 --> 00:08:45.940 these guys a bit of a... An incentive with a 00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:49.059 singles run with this this tournament is actually 00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:54.000 going to be quite interesting do I Think that 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.840 either of the women in this ring at the moment 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.360 have the ability to go on and win it. Yes, I 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:06.919 personally Would like to see Zarya do very well 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.320 in this purely just for the fact that I've really 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.480 started to enjoy the way she wrestles recently 00:09:13.110 --> 00:09:16.730 And a move set's quite impressive as well, to 00:09:16.730 --> 00:09:19.730 be fair. At one point, she manages to lock in 00:09:19.730 --> 00:09:25.250 a front face lock and Lash Legend has to basically 00:09:25.250 --> 00:09:31.629 use her movement to break this one up. And we 00:09:31.629 --> 00:09:35.409 sort of, at one point, a little bit later on, 00:09:35.789 --> 00:09:37.970 Lash Legend goes to throw Zarya out of the ring. 00:09:38.210 --> 00:09:41.090 Zarya manages to counter this into a roll up 00:09:41.090 --> 00:09:45.500 two count. And then lash legend manages to get 00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:49.659 a slam in and goes for an elbow drop and misses 00:09:49.659 --> 00:09:56.799 it as Does Zarya on her next? section of of moves 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.779 We got to see a few impressive bits in this lash 00:10:01.779 --> 00:10:04.500 legend with a kip up I do not care what wrestler 00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:08.559 it is a kip up is always impressive in my eyes 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.250 purely for the fact I'm too fat to do one and 00:10:12.250 --> 00:10:15.169 I think even if I tried I would probably break 00:10:15.169 --> 00:10:18.250 something whether that be on me or within the 00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:21.590 surrounding area Kind of think of Rikishi trying 00:10:21.590 --> 00:10:23.830 to do the worm and that's what it would look 00:10:23.830 --> 00:10:28.590 like if I was trying to do a kip up So this one 00:10:28.590 --> 00:10:35.950 ultimately finishes with With Zarya winning. 00:10:36.629 --> 00:10:40.389 I mean there is There was a few bits that led 00:10:40.389 --> 00:10:43.129 up to that that were quite interesting. You know, 00:10:43.169 --> 00:10:46.789 Lash Legend caught Zarya on a cross body attempt 00:10:46.789 --> 00:10:49.429 and manages to hit with her with a back breaker. 00:10:50.730 --> 00:10:54.909 She then attempts a power bomb opportunity, which 00:10:54.909 --> 00:10:58.370 gets reversed by Zarya. She then has an opportunity 00:10:58.370 --> 00:11:01.940 to pull off that head scissors. hits the pump 00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:05.460 kick afterwards and then on the return from the 00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:11.539 pump kick finishes with a German suplex. We've 00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:14.799 got a selection of spears from or attempted spears 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.259 from Zarya. LashLegend actually manages to pull 00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:20.779 off a choke slam on Zarya for a two count. Now 00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:22.980 bearing in mind, like I've said previously, these 00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:27.080 women are both very tall, very stocky, muscular 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:32.649 women. That choke slam, I was quite impressed 00:11:32.649 --> 00:11:36.929 to see it go off, to be fair. But like I said, 00:11:37.070 --> 00:11:39.450 at the end, Zarya qualified for the ladder match 00:11:39.450 --> 00:11:42.970 at stand and deliver with basically what was 00:11:42.970 --> 00:11:46.769 just a slam and a count. I think these two put 00:11:46.769 --> 00:11:50.750 enough damage across each other for it to be... 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.639 You could tell by the end that they were both 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.279 pretty hurting and I'm not gonna lie I think 00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.440 I would be if I'd have taken some of the moves 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.759 that those women did in that match. We then end 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.919 up going into a backstage segment with Josh Briggs 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:12.000 and Inamora, I can't remember. I want to say 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.200 it's Yasuki Inamora, but I think I'm wrong with 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:18.379 that one. Basically talking about going to stand 00:12:18.379 --> 00:12:21.190 and deliver and And the match that they're gonna 00:12:21.190 --> 00:12:24.570 try and get themselves there when wesley basically 00:12:24.570 --> 00:12:28.850 says Don't bother boys. I've won a match at stand 00:12:28.850 --> 00:12:32.009 and deliver and trust me you boys do not have 00:12:32.009 --> 00:12:36.870 what it takes Um innamora then starts going off 00:12:36.870 --> 00:12:39.470 about how wesley used to fight with honor and 00:12:39.470 --> 00:12:43.049 everything he did was quite honorable and um 00:12:43.049 --> 00:12:45.870 And he no longer does that and he thinks that 00:12:45.870 --> 00:12:51.070 he is going to uh teach wesley how to fight with 00:12:51.070 --> 00:12:55.690 Honor again, and he wants a match. Now, there 00:12:55.690 --> 00:12:58.129 was a little bit I spotted here. Both Briggs 00:12:58.129 --> 00:13:01.230 and Inamura were wearing what looks like biker 00:13:01.230 --> 00:13:05.269 cuts, something very similar to what the aces 00:13:05.269 --> 00:13:09.389 and eights from TNA were wearing a few years 00:13:09.389 --> 00:13:14.950 ago when they were doing that storyline. Just... 00:13:14.909 --> 00:13:17.330 Yeah, there wasn't a lot of patches, but there 00:13:17.330 --> 00:13:19.549 was a few in the right place that suggested it 00:13:19.549 --> 00:13:23.990 made it an MC style thing, but you don't get 00:13:23.990 --> 00:13:26.809 to see the back of it to be able to see what 00:13:26.809 --> 00:13:32.850 else is there. I mean, could we have a new gimmick 00:13:32.850 --> 00:13:35.830 change possibly? I don't know why they'd want 00:13:35.830 --> 00:13:41.250 to, but it's one of those. While we are backstage, 00:13:41.629 --> 00:13:46.720 we see Kalani Jordan backstage. after talking 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.960 with Ava, sorry, saying that she wants to repeat 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.299 history in Vegas as she's basically, she was 00:13:52.299 --> 00:13:55.980 the first women's North American champion and 00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:59.940 she wants to become the second, the first person 00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:03.059 to hold that title twice. Out of the holders 00:14:03.059 --> 00:14:05.379 that have had it since it's been brought in, 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.700 you've had Kalani Jordan, Fallon Henley and Stephanie 00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:12.940 Baker. So it's been held by three people. None 00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:16.159 of them have held it twice and Kalani Jordan 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.940 thinks that she's going to be the woman to do 00:14:18.940 --> 00:14:22.980 that one. At which point we get Roxanne Perez 00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:26.500 coming in saying, actually, that's not the case. 00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:29.080 She'll be taking it because she wants to become 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:34.019 the first Grand Slam holder in NXT. And Kalani 00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:38.179 Jordan basically says, look, I will beat you 00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:42.269 for the chance. And Ava hears that, gets a slight 00:14:42.269 --> 00:14:45.230 little smile on the face and goes well actually, 00:14:45.470 --> 00:14:48.009 funny you two say that because you guys are going 00:14:48.009 --> 00:14:50.690 one -on -one for a spot in that ladder match. 00:14:51.330 --> 00:14:56.450 It stand and deliver to join Zarya. So that was 00:14:56.450 --> 00:14:58.210 definitely an interesting one. That means that 00:14:58.210 --> 00:15:01.850 later on this evening we are going to see Roxanne 00:15:01.850 --> 00:15:06.570 Perez versus Kalani Jordan. Which on paper I 00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:09.000 think is going to be a really good match. after 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.879 watching it we'll get into it a little bit later 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.860 down the line but was still actually a very enjoyable 00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:20.779 match we then I mean I'm finding this difficult 00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:23.340 doing this on my own guys I'm not gonna not gonna 00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:25.080 lie to you I'm used to having Adam to talk to 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.960 and Adam is not currently with us this week as 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:34.419 I said it is just me and yeah we are gonna carry 00:15:34.419 --> 00:15:39.799 on we go into a VT promo with Tony D 'Angelo 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:44.340 and the D 'Angelo family where basically Tony 00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:47.559 set the D 'Angelo's a little bit of a challenge 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:51.360 trying to get some information on dark state 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.860 Which is now the name that the four masked amigos 00:15:55.860 --> 00:16:00.539 that have been running wild on NXT have have 00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:03.620 bought in with themselves So they basically give 00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:07.940 us the four names of the people that are in dark 00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:10.200 state, and a little bit of their background. 00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:14.080 If you get an opportunity to go back and watch 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.379 this promo, I would, because I'm not, without 00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:19.500 quoting it word for word, which I'm not gonna 00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:22.860 be doing, because I noted form, you know, I took 00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:25.299 notes on it. There is some really interesting 00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:29.470 parts in this promo. So. Mast Amigo number one, 00:16:29.649 --> 00:16:32.389 we know as Dion Lennox. We've known this one 00:16:32.389 --> 00:16:34.629 for a little while. We just knew very little 00:16:34.629 --> 00:16:39.409 about him and Google said that he was a linebacker 00:16:39.409 --> 00:16:43.730 as a professional footballer for the American 00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:47.169 Football League. So we find out now that he used 00:16:47.169 --> 00:16:50.769 to be a linebacker for Oregon State University 00:16:50.769 --> 00:16:53.809 and there we are informed that he's a mouthy 00:16:53.809 --> 00:16:56.889 hothead. who once attacked a teammate in the 00:16:56.889 --> 00:17:00.370 locker room. That's not necessarily a good thing. 00:17:00.490 --> 00:17:07.569 The next one, Osiris Griffin, former defensive 00:17:07.569 --> 00:17:15.549 lineman from Syracuse. Again, an NCAA team. Apparently 00:17:15.549 --> 00:17:20.710 this gentleman broke or hurt his own quarterback's 00:17:20.710 --> 00:17:24.750 ribs. in an incident on field but he does have 00:17:24.750 --> 00:17:29.029 some great instincts we are then told the third 00:17:29.029 --> 00:17:32.410 gentleman is a name by the name of cutler james 00:17:32.410 --> 00:17:35.809 he was a high level wrestler an all -american 00:17:35.809 --> 00:17:40.109 and this guy basically has unlimited stamina 00:17:40.109 --> 00:17:44.190 and likes to take part in spartan races now i 00:17:44.190 --> 00:17:49.630 am was not 100 sure what a spartan race was but 00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:52.960 Did find out that they do a few different ones 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.640 and it's basically just an endurance race but 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:03.039 They do not look like your standard endurance 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:10.240 races at all these look absolutely mental and 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.119 Not something I think I would be able to do at 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:16.619 this moment But looking at these, you know what, 00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:19.000 I might have a little go and try to see what 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.480 one of these is like maybe next year with a bit 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.880 of training. Definitely need a bit of training 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.900 first. He's described as a bit of a John, I wanna 00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:32.599 be John Wick. Now, if you have the movement that 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.720 John Wick has in a wrestling ring, God damn, 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.779 that is dangerous. And the final guy that we 00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:43.940 are introduced to that is a member. Dark state 00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:47.500 is a gentleman by the name of Saquon sugars He 00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:50.980 was a high school wrestler who is now a or who 00:18:50.980 --> 00:18:56.339 turned basically into a street fighter But he's 00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:59.200 not the dumb thug you think he is this gentleman 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.400 turned down Harvard, but we don't know why so 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:06.240 after finding out a lot of this Tony D 'Angelo 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.420 says that they're gonna have to go after them 00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:14.160 and basically Tells stacks that the last time 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.880 he made a plan. It didn't work out so well So 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.500 stacks is gonna have to trust Tony and then stacks 00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:22.880 is pretty much. I've got your boss, you know 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:24.839 You're the boss. I'm the under boss. I'll do 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:29.099 what you say. I've got this um Now this next 00:19:29.099 --> 00:19:32.279 bit I'm not gonna lie was actually quite funny, 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.839 and I don't know why I found it quite funny, 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:39.440 but we We kind of zoom into another backstage 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:48.519 segment a lot of this week's Matches or Well 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.539 a lot of this week's episode. Sorry was mainly 00:19:51.539 --> 00:19:53.680 it was a lot of filler I've said this I'll probably 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:55.900 say a few more times in the next 20 minutes half 00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:59.960 an hour But it was an awful awful lot of filler 00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:06.180 And we got to see Hank and tank Wearing pretty 00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:10.079 Deadly's costumes only the top half of those 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.420 basically just enough to cover the arms in the 00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:15.480 top chest plate But if you can imagine these 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:21.279 two boys in a very sparkling sequenced Outfit 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:23.859 that yeah, pretty much there. We also got to 00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:27.339 see pretty deadly. They made an NXT appearance 00:20:27.339 --> 00:20:30.680 basically a pretty deadly like they love it absolutely 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.609 love the fact that Pretty deadly. Um that hank 00:20:33.609 --> 00:20:35.910 and tank looked that good and you know They basically 00:20:35.910 --> 00:20:37.910 tell them if you want to be stars you need to 00:20:37.910 --> 00:20:43.130 look like a star And then we get a little side 00:20:43.130 --> 00:20:45.769 action of no quarter catch crew say they're gonna 00:20:45.769 --> 00:20:49.349 get their ass kicked as they go out and they 00:20:49.349 --> 00:20:51.990 um They pretty much just rip the tops off and 00:20:51.990 --> 00:20:53.569 walk off. They were not happy. They were getting 00:20:53.569 --> 00:20:57.609 picked on a little bit And then we got a small 00:20:57.609 --> 00:21:02.029 little promo from sean spears Basically just 00:21:02.029 --> 00:21:04.630 talking about his North American title match 00:21:04.630 --> 00:21:07.170 with Ricky Saints a little bit later on in the 00:21:07.170 --> 00:21:10.089 evening Basically just how he was going to retain 00:21:10.089 --> 00:21:13.309 and make like Ricky's life quite difficult standard 00:21:13.309 --> 00:21:15.630 standard, you know, I've got title match later 00:21:15.630 --> 00:21:17.490 I'm gonna kick your butt gonna make sure it's 00:21:17.490 --> 00:21:19.589 not very easy. I'm gonna embarrass you and then 00:21:19.589 --> 00:21:22.430 you know We all know what it's like. We're all 00:21:22.430 --> 00:21:25.559 big fans of Wrestling we've seen how these promos 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:27.160 go. I'm gonna kick your butt. No, I'm gonna kick 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:29.059 your butt, but I'm gonna kick your butt harder 00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:31.940 No, I'm gonna kick your butt harder. It's just 00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:38.460 one of them Which takes us in to our second match 00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:42.279 of the evening Which was miles born and Tavian 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:46.039 Heights of no quarter catch no quarter catch 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:52.400 crew versus Hank and Tank now I could sit here 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.819 and tell you this was a great match and I wish 00:21:56.819 --> 00:22:00.160 it had gone on forever. In theory, actually, 00:22:00.380 --> 00:22:03.920 I was glad this one was the shortest match on 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:08.920 the card and my notes for this match pretty much 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:13.019 cover my opinions of it. It started off with 00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:15.819 Miles Bourne and Hank at the start of the match 00:22:15.819 --> 00:22:19.339 and the first sort of big thing that I spotted 00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:24.559 was basically it was a tag team trip into a crossface 00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:29.900 style hold. I mean it was nice to watch it was 00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:32.259 very smooth very silky you can see they probably 00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:34.980 practiced that one once or twice it wasn't too 00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:39.160 bad. There was a few double teams around and 00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:43.400 about but quite frankly there wasn't really a 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.380 lot of things to talk about with this match it 00:22:45.380 --> 00:22:48.920 was basically I think them just trying to get 00:22:49.390 --> 00:22:54.470 Some time in somewhere or just feel like is this 00:22:54.470 --> 00:22:58.069 match wasn't really long enough to probably qualify 00:22:58.069 --> 00:23:02.609 as a match Definitely it wasn't a squash match. 00:23:02.609 --> 00:23:07.730 It was just short really short And I think they 00:23:07.730 --> 00:23:10.829 probably really could have used that time better 00:23:10.829 --> 00:23:18.920 elsewhere But it was one of those Hank through 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.380 miles born out of the ring. He quickly jumped 00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:28.660 up jumped back in with a drop kick And it was 00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:32.420 very very rushed there was a change of tag to 00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:37.359 get Tavion Heights in They basically worked off 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.400 a few double team maneuvers And at the end of 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:46.170 it the one two three went with no quarter catch 00:23:46.170 --> 00:23:50.569 crew picking up. What was probably one of the, 00:23:50.789 --> 00:23:54.089 I'm not gonna say an easy win, but probably one 00:23:54.089 --> 00:23:56.369 of the fastest wins we've seen them have. And 00:23:56.369 --> 00:23:58.670 it's not purely for the fact that Hank and Tank 00:23:58.670 --> 00:24:01.549 were poor quality. They're not generally poor 00:24:01.549 --> 00:24:05.099 quality wrestlers. It's just. Don't think they 00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:06.799 were given particularly long I think you were 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:08.299 kind of like you've got seven minutes boys go 00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:10.500 and do something with it I don't even think it 00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:12.339 was that if I'm being honest with you the entire 00:24:12.339 --> 00:24:15.880 episode of NXT this week was an hour and 14 minutes 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:22.480 after edit So it was definitely this was This 00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:25.440 was the one thing on the card today that I feel 00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:30.339 didn't really make sense And the talk about making 00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:34.450 sense though we do get to see trick williams 00:24:34.450 --> 00:24:36.269 right now so trick williams comes out to the 00:24:36.269 --> 00:24:38.150 ring uh we're not getting a match from trick 00:24:38.150 --> 00:24:41.390 williams we are getting a promo he basically 00:24:41.390 --> 00:24:43.869 comes out and says oba i called you out last 00:24:43.869 --> 00:24:50.230 week i ain't heard shit so what's going on because 00:24:50.230 --> 00:24:53.670 let's not get it and i i wrote this through he 00:24:53.670 --> 00:24:56.970 says let's not get it twisted you may be the 00:24:56.970 --> 00:25:00.890 champion but trick williams is still the man 00:25:00.890 --> 00:25:04.450 and he's been the man since he took it upon himself 00:25:04.450 --> 00:25:10.210 to get that nxt title back around his waist he 00:25:10.210 --> 00:25:13.230 says though but all the success that he has had 00:25:13.230 --> 00:25:16.369 has come at a cost and he is absolutely hated 00:25:16.369 --> 00:25:19.230 by everyone in the back because of how great 00:25:19.230 --> 00:25:23.900 and how much he's done for himself And he kind 00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:26.380 of gets, you know, he gets it. He'd be angry 00:25:26.380 --> 00:25:27.819 at someone if they were doing the same thing 00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:32.200 he'd be doing. We then get, well, I'd say interrupted. 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:35.619 We get joined in the ring by Javon Evans. And 00:25:35.619 --> 00:25:37.640 he comes up basically and says, Trick Williams 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.980 says, don't come out here interrupting me, dog. 00:25:41.019 --> 00:25:43.240 He knows he's upset. He was collateral damage, 00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.819 but it's stand and deliver season and the grown 00:25:45.819 --> 00:25:50.079 folks are talking. Trick Williams does not have 00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:52.279 a lot of good things to say about Javon Evans 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:54.380 at the moment. Now, Javon Evans has kind of been 00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:57.259 puppy -dogging him for the last few weeks. And 00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:59.920 just kind of like, you know, I can learn from 00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.480 you. You can learn from me. This could be cool. 00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:05.420 We could do a thing. Trick Williams is basically 00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:07.279 like, look, dude, just because we look the same 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:09.359 doesn't mean we are the same. You know, leave 00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.799 me alone. I've got bigger fish to fry. I'm NXT 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.319 Championship level. You don't have nothing going 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:21.190 on right now. You know? But, Javon Evans says, 00:26:21.289 --> 00:26:23.470 I understand you now. I understand what you've 00:26:23.470 --> 00:26:25.769 been saying, but I wanna know something. When 00:26:25.769 --> 00:26:29.569 did you know it was your time? He said, when 00:26:29.569 --> 00:26:33.109 Trick Williams won the NXT Championship, he was 00:26:33.109 --> 00:26:36.190 NXT's golden child. And Javon Evans, basically, 00:26:36.390 --> 00:26:40.029 he just wants to have the same treatment. The 00:26:40.029 --> 00:26:42.009 only difference is, is Javon Evans doesn't need 00:26:42.009 --> 00:26:44.309 to break out a shadow, and he's ready to fight 00:26:44.309 --> 00:26:50.519 right now. I mean, Trick Williams says that he's 00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:52.960 in his shadow now and he knows nothing about 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.640 being a champion. Well, Javon Evans really hasn't 00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.160 had too much experience with holding titles that 00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.039 we have seen within the finishes and factions 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:08.559 period of NXT. So basically, the Netflix era, 00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:13.599 I did not watch a lot of NXT, if any NXT before 00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:16.289 the Netflix era. Actually, I think the last lot 00:27:16.289 --> 00:27:19.490 of NXT I watched, Enzo Moray and Big Cass were 00:27:19.490 --> 00:27:23.230 still in NXT. So that was definitely a little 00:27:23.230 --> 00:27:28.269 while ago. Jevon Evans calls Trick Williams, 00:27:29.210 --> 00:27:32.190 basically Carmelo Hayes. He's like, dude, what 00:27:32.190 --> 00:27:37.170 you're saying to me now is what, you know, what 00:27:37.170 --> 00:27:40.109 you're saying now is what Carmelo Hayes said 00:27:40.109 --> 00:27:43.309 a year ago. And since, you know, people want 00:27:43.309 --> 00:27:47.269 to talk about things Jevon Evans has done that 00:27:47.269 --> 00:27:50.569 no one else has done, there is only one thing 00:27:50.569 --> 00:27:53.589 he could mention. And he says, and he claims, 00:27:53.789 --> 00:28:00.470 and he's the only person to drop Oberfammy. So, 00:28:00.589 --> 00:28:04.109 I mean, that's a pretty big statement to put 00:28:04.109 --> 00:28:07.809 out there. I mean, we know it's true because 00:28:07.809 --> 00:28:11.829 he wouldn't have said it otherwise. but the only 00:28:11.829 --> 00:28:16.230 person to get one over on the NXT champion. Which 00:28:16.230 --> 00:28:23.809 we do get to see as his name is mentioned. Ober 00:28:23.809 --> 00:28:26.930 Femi is starting to turn into NXT's version of 00:28:26.930 --> 00:28:30.529 Joe Hendry. You say his name, he appears. And 00:28:30.529 --> 00:28:33.009 he comes down to the ring and says Javon Evans 00:28:33.009 --> 00:28:36.269 should say that nonsense to his face. And he 00:28:36.269 --> 00:28:38.799 goes, you know. Congrats, you dropped the ruler. 00:28:38.900 --> 00:28:42.240 It was a lucky shot and trust me. It won't happen 00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:47.400 again And Javon Evans is saying that I only needed 00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.559 one more second to change history and if he'd 00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:55.200 have changed history and beaten over Femi You 00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.839 know over Femi wouldn't have beat Rick Wittons 00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.299 for the title because Javon Evans would have 00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:05.400 had it and Yeah, I mean when you look at it that 00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:11.390 way you think well If That's a weird series of 00:29:11.390 --> 00:29:14.849 events Over Femi wouldn't have beaten trick Williams 00:29:14.849 --> 00:29:17.150 for that title because Javon Evans would have 00:29:17.150 --> 00:29:21.549 had it That could have been an interesting scenario 00:29:21.549 --> 00:29:29.529 but you know The the time is there and It's stand 00:29:29.529 --> 00:29:32.369 and deliver. It's going to be the time of over 00:29:32.369 --> 00:29:37.140 Femi apparently and I mean, Ober Femi's been 00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:40.099 great with this championship. He's had some phenomenal 00:29:40.099 --> 00:29:43.980 matches. His stuff with Moose, wha! So he's not 00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:46.240 exactly been a slack champion with that title 00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:48.119 belt. He's kept hold of it and he's kept hold 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:52.339 of it really, really well. So Trick Williams 00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:55.019 says, stand and deliver. The NX title will be 00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:57.579 Ober Femi and Trick Williams, at which point 00:29:57.579 --> 00:29:59.400 Jovan Evans starts getting a little bit like, 00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:02.460 oh, you can't do that without me. And Oberfemi 00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:05.420 stops Javon Evans and says, Tric Williams needs 00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:08.339 to stop talking, otherwise he'd be the, you know, 00:30:08.380 --> 00:30:10.859 if Tric Williams needs to, he needs to stop talking 00:30:10.859 --> 00:30:14.799 because he'd be champ already. If he could act 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.720 with his fists the way he runs his mouth, he'd 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.779 still be champion, you know? But we then get 00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:27.779 to see our glorious NXT general manager, Ava, 00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:29.890 come to the ring. Well, she comes out onto the 00:30:29.890 --> 00:30:32.690 ramp anyway, and she says, look, I've seen this 00:30:32.690 --> 00:30:35.150 before, and there is only one way it's going 00:30:35.150 --> 00:30:39.049 to end. So it's stand and deliver. Ober Femi 00:30:39.049 --> 00:30:41.430 is going to defend his title against Trik Williams. 00:30:43.369 --> 00:30:47.250 And Javon Evans. We are going a triple threat 00:30:47.250 --> 00:30:51.410 in the main event of stand and deliver. But let's 00:30:51.410 --> 00:30:56.289 face it. This has got to be the main event. Is 00:30:56.289 --> 00:31:00.420 there? Any other match that has been set up for 00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:03.980 standing deliver so far that deserves to be main 00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:07.960 event material Over over Femi versus trick Williams 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.960 versus Javon Evans for the NXT title Not only 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:16.099 is that gotta be main event I'm gonna call it 00:31:16.099 --> 00:31:18.680 now that that's gonna be the match of the night 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.920 when we see when we see stand and deliver go 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.109 off So after we have Ava explain what is going 00:31:27.109 --> 00:31:30.269 on, Trick Williams punches Jevon Evans and Oba 00:31:30.269 --> 00:31:32.730 Femi goes off on Trick Williams and basically 00:31:32.730 --> 00:31:37.269 tosses him out the ring. At which point we get 00:31:37.269 --> 00:31:41.170 to see our four masked amigos again. Dark state 00:31:41.170 --> 00:31:45.170 come out and basically run down to the ring and 00:31:45.170 --> 00:31:48.930 give Oba Femi and Jevon Evans a bit of an ass 00:31:48.930 --> 00:31:52.079 kicking. Now they've got this four man double 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:55.200 team type move they do which is basically like 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:58.539 the power bomb the shield used to use but instead 00:31:58.539 --> 00:32:00.539 of slamming a guy in the floor they throw him 00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:04.500 halfway across the ring and it works really well 00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:08.140 it's kind of like an overpowered 3d but without 00:32:08.140 --> 00:32:13.240 the uh the ending so to speak it's like a like 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:15.480 a diamond cutter ending it's not quite that way 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.920 at the moment they just hoist him up and fling 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:21.460 him It's like a cannonball. I'd love to see them 00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:23.619 do it to Ray Mysterio just to see how far he'd 00:32:23.619 --> 00:32:28.619 fly. But I digress. They give him a bit of an 00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:32.599 ass kick in. Notice to start off with that they 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:34.960 only go for Oberfammy and Jovan Evans. Bear in 00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:38.660 mind, Trick Williams is out there too. And don't 00:32:38.660 --> 00:32:42.059 worry, Trick Williams gets what he deserves. 00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:45.500 So we see him stood in the middle of the ring 00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:49.430 at one point. with all four members of Dark State 00:32:49.430 --> 00:32:51.910 stood around him. Now I'm sat there thinking, 00:32:52.549 --> 00:32:55.970 are we about to find out that Dark State is already 00:32:55.970 --> 00:33:04.190 being run by Trick Williams? No. They beat the 00:33:04.190 --> 00:33:11.369 brakes off Trick Williams. They absolutely destroyed 00:33:11.369 --> 00:33:16.740 him. I mean, it don't take a lot. To be fair, 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:18.599 I'm not saying the guy is not very good, I'm 00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:21.180 just saying they're four big animals. Trick Williams, 00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:24.680 I mean, he's big, but he's not that big. He's 00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:29.720 not a linebacker big. He's not football big. 00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:32.960 Even if you look at the fact you've got linebacker 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:34.880 and defensive lineman, these guys, they're big 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.859 fellas. Trick Williams, not that big. Or not 00:33:37.859 --> 00:33:41.599 as big as them, anyway. Now, our next little 00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:47.319 section takes us into the medical tent. as we 00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:54.740 see Chase Yu, there's Andre Chase from Chase 00:33:54.740 --> 00:33:58.200 Yu in the medical, basically finding out that 00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.119 after his match with Ethan Page last week, he's 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:07.059 got crack ribs. And the doctor's asking him, 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:08.519 you know, have you got anyone to take you home? 00:34:08.579 --> 00:34:11.139 And he's like, no, it's all right, I've got this. 00:34:11.530 --> 00:34:17.690 And then the chase you students come in from 00:34:17.690 --> 00:34:30.710 the side, which was bear with me a second and 00:34:30.710 --> 00:34:45.119 I will find out for you. Yeah, I don't think 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.659 they were actually members of Chase You. They 00:34:47.659 --> 00:34:50.739 were just fans of Chase You. And they're fans 00:34:50.739 --> 00:34:53.039 whose name I can't quite remember off the top 00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:56.619 of my head. And I definitely didn't make a note 00:34:56.619 --> 00:34:58.440 of it because he didn't show it on the screen. 00:35:00.820 --> 00:35:02.659 So basically, they turn around and say, it's 00:35:02.659 --> 00:35:08.809 cool. We'll take him home. And they leave. just 00:35:08.809 --> 00:35:11.929 out the side door of medical as we go into the 00:35:11.929 --> 00:35:16.329 back underground section of the arena where we 00:35:16.329 --> 00:35:20.110 see Jada Parker and Jordan grace fighting again 00:35:20.110 --> 00:35:26.489 like these guys absolutely going tongue and nail 00:35:26.489 --> 00:35:30.730 at it not only um you know did they is basically 00:35:30.730 --> 00:35:33.769 set off in the rings at the start of the show 00:35:33.769 --> 00:35:38.289 where um Something was gonna explode. It just 00:35:38.289 --> 00:35:41.710 happened that Jordan Grace and Jada Parker decided 00:35:41.710 --> 00:35:47.349 they could not wait to To get at it to see who 00:35:47.349 --> 00:35:50.989 they feel should be facing Stephanie Baker for 00:35:50.989 --> 00:35:58.130 the NXT Women's title in Las Vegas I mean Let's 00:35:58.130 --> 00:36:02.269 be honest Jordan Grace versus Jada Parker in 00:36:02.269 --> 00:36:05.940 a no DQ who's winning? My money's on Jordan Grace 00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:08.239 every time. Right, I don't know why. I think 00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:09.960 it's just because she's the biggest, like the 00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:13.280 bigger person now. I think she's, but yeah, my 00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:15.559 money would be on Jordan Grace and that one. 00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:18.139 Why don't you chuck us an email if your opinions 00:36:18.139 --> 00:36:21.039 on that one are different.

We then see 00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:48.280 a little bit from Fraxiom backstage saying to 00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:50.579 Hank and Tank about the fact that yes, they've 00:36:50.579 --> 00:36:53.599 lost their way but don't embarrass yourselves, 00:36:53.820 --> 00:37:00.050 it will come. And while they're having a conversation, 00:37:00.289 --> 00:37:03.550 we get two gentlemen by the name of Brad Taylor 00:37:03.550 --> 00:37:07.789 and Ricky Smokes come in. So apparently these 00:37:07.789 --> 00:37:11.889 gentlemen are part of a tag team called Swipe 00:37:11.889 --> 00:37:18.530 Right in WWE Evolve. Now I haven't watched any 00:37:18.530 --> 00:37:22.630 of Evolve. We've said this before, but we watch 00:37:22.630 --> 00:37:26.250 so much wrestling throughout the week. own clips 00:37:26.250 --> 00:37:29.210 conversations this podcast i think the only time 00:37:29.210 --> 00:37:32.090 me and adam actually talk now is it's either 00:37:32.090 --> 00:37:35.269 have you seen such and such depending on the 00:37:35.269 --> 00:37:38.730 program or do you want to play some cod outside 00:37:38.730 --> 00:37:41.110 of the conversations we have within this podcast 00:37:41.110 --> 00:37:44.329 it's pretty much how far we get cod yeah go on 00:37:44.329 --> 00:37:46.969 mate and then it's just two hours of not silence 00:37:46.969 --> 00:37:50.860 but just us playing cod and being douches But 00:37:50.860 --> 00:37:53.199 um, they came in and say that they basically 00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:56.739 they'd quite look up to to Fraxium and they want 00:37:56.739 --> 00:38:01.260 a match purely just to see where their weaknesses 00:38:01.260 --> 00:38:05.460 are and Who doesn't want a match against your 00:38:05.460 --> 00:38:08.800 idols at which point Nathan Fraser says sure 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:13.099 go for it. We'll do that So Brad Taylor and Ricky 00:38:13.099 --> 00:38:15.860 smokes from swipe, right at some point. I'm gonna 00:38:15.860 --> 00:38:20.420 get a match with which is Axiom and Nathan Fraser. 00:38:22.900 --> 00:38:26.699 I mean, that's kind of cool, I suppose. If we've 00:38:26.699 --> 00:38:30.219 basically got four weekly programs from WWE now 00:38:30.219 --> 00:38:33.780 with it being Raw, NXT, SmackDown, and Evolve, 00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:37.059 it could be some interesting stuff floating around, 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:40.519 some interesting stuff floating around. But talking 00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:44.320 about interesting stuff, let's move on to our 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:50.960 next match. this would be the second of the women's 00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:54.780 North American tournament qualifiers and As we 00:38:54.780 --> 00:38:58.579 found out earlier We are getting a match between 00:38:58.579 --> 00:39:05.119 Roxanne Perez and Kalani Jordan now On paper 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:08.059 this has got poor quality match written all over 00:39:08.059 --> 00:39:12.019 it in my opinion Because on paper Roxanne Perez 00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:15.219 should walk out of this one pretty quickly as 00:39:15.219 --> 00:39:18.329 the winner I feel considering the experience 00:39:18.329 --> 00:39:21.050 Roxanne Perez has had in NXT and the stuff that 00:39:21.050 --> 00:39:23.369 she's done on the main roster, obviously she 00:39:23.369 --> 00:39:25.630 featured in the elimination chamber, she's been 00:39:25.630 --> 00:39:28.610 in the Royal Rumble. We've seen her on episodes 00:39:28.610 --> 00:39:31.530 of Raw and SmackDown when she was running around 00:39:31.530 --> 00:39:35.570 chasing Bayley for a little while. And now we 00:39:35.570 --> 00:39:39.269 see her go into this match for basically a qualifying 00:39:39.269 --> 00:39:41.869 session to get into the Women's North American 00:39:41.869 --> 00:39:46.449 title match at Stand and Deliver. which I think 00:39:46.449 --> 00:39:50.210 personally could be actually a really good match. 00:39:50.329 --> 00:39:54.349 I'm going to look forward to it. But apart from 00:39:54.349 --> 00:39:56.789 Zarya, who we know is already qualified for the 00:39:56.789 --> 00:39:59.469 first match, who else are we going to find? Well, 00:39:59.469 --> 00:40:01.969 let's crack into this one and see if it's Roxanne 00:40:01.969 --> 00:40:04.929 Perez or Kalani Jordan that is going to be in 00:40:04.929 --> 00:40:08.349 the six women ladder match in Las Vegas. So it 00:40:08.349 --> 00:40:12.590 starts off pretty evenly. It's not a lot of stuff 00:40:12.590 --> 00:40:14.889 going on. It's all just like I said feeling outweighed 00:40:14.889 --> 00:40:17.050 Just getting themselves sort of like warm flexible 00:40:17.050 --> 00:40:19.769 kind of going right sweet. We've got this sorted 00:40:19.769 --> 00:40:23.170 and We are informed while this is going on that 00:40:23.170 --> 00:40:25.250 we've heard from a lot of different people about 00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:28.889 different things within the NXT universe You 00:40:28.889 --> 00:40:33.090 know whether it be the North American title vacation 00:40:33.090 --> 00:40:38.190 Whether it's been to do with you know the families 00:40:38.190 --> 00:40:42.360 dark state Culling in the D 'Angelo's, that's 00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:44.960 what I mean by the families there. We've not 00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:49.260 heard from one person in a couple of weeks. So 00:40:49.260 --> 00:40:55.699 at NXT's last pay -per -view, which I believe 00:40:55.699 --> 00:41:02.260 was only a few weeks ago, just trying to find 00:41:02.260 --> 00:41:10.949 where it was. Anyway, and like I said, At NXT's 00:41:10.949 --> 00:41:14.949 last pay -per -view a few weeks ago, there was 00:41:14.949 --> 00:41:19.570 a title versus title match at, I want to say 00:41:19.570 --> 00:41:25.710 it was Roadblock. And this was basically Julia 00:41:25.710 --> 00:41:29.230 versus Stephanie Baker to find out who was the 00:41:29.230 --> 00:41:31.829 best woman in the women's division. And these 00:41:31.829 --> 00:41:38.530 women had won hell of a match. And it was an 00:41:38.530 --> 00:41:42.369 incredible match and it basically finished with 00:41:42.369 --> 00:41:46.389 Stephanie Vacar walking out of Madison Square 00:41:46.389 --> 00:41:50.769 Gardens with both titles. She defended them both 00:41:50.769 --> 00:41:53.730 last week and she's obviously dropped the North 00:41:53.730 --> 00:41:59.610 American one this week. So. but we still haven't 00:41:59.610 --> 00:42:02.710 heard from Julia so we don't actually know what's 00:42:02.710 --> 00:42:05.090 going on there why the title was dropped if there 00:42:05.090 --> 00:42:07.489 was a specific reason why Stephanie Baker was 00:42:07.489 --> 00:42:11.389 given it or what is going on now I'm guessing 00:42:11.389 --> 00:42:13.769 and like I said this is purely a guess I think 00:42:13.769 --> 00:42:16.570 there was possibly an injury somewhere they just 00:42:16.570 --> 00:42:22.750 don't want to comment on or I can't see them 00:42:22.750 --> 00:42:27.750 you know Not wanting to use Julia. She's a fantastic 00:42:27.750 --> 00:42:30.489 talent. There might be some family issues. I'm 00:42:30.489 --> 00:42:33.710 guessing I'm not 100 % sure. I'm personally gonna 00:42:33.710 --> 00:42:37.730 go with the injury which is somewhere I thought 00:42:37.730 --> 00:42:40.110 Kalani Jordan was gonna go because at one point 00:42:40.110 --> 00:42:44.869 Roxanne Perez was doing some really Interesting 00:42:44.869 --> 00:42:48.250 stuff to Kalani Jordan's arm which finished with 00:42:48.250 --> 00:42:52.170 her basically stomping on her arm as it was laying 00:42:52.170 --> 00:42:56.840 on the turnbuckle that holds the ropes onto the 00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:00.079 ring posts while she was sat in the corner with 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:03.820 her arm through the rope. Roxanne Perez jumped 00:43:03.820 --> 00:43:07.380 on it to the apron and it looked like she'd done 00:43:07.380 --> 00:43:10.539 some, that hurt. There was definitely a hyperextension 00:43:10.539 --> 00:43:13.260 of the elbow. It was very, very like she's gonna, 00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:17.099 the two arms, the forearm, the hand off the apron 00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:19.929 and we know those rings are. Definitely pretty 00:43:19.929 --> 00:43:22.550 sturdy and there is no way they are gonna break 00:43:22.550 --> 00:43:26.429 anytime soon Especially not with an arm. Anyway 00:43:26.429 --> 00:43:30.650 You know, we had a few little bits go up and 00:43:30.650 --> 00:43:33.130 weigh a few more stumps on the arm Roxanne Perez 00:43:33.130 --> 00:43:35.949 really did just keep going back to the arm whenever 00:43:35.949 --> 00:43:40.369 she had an opportunity and You know, but it wasn't 00:43:40.369 --> 00:43:43.369 just the arm that she was working on we got suplexes 00:43:43.369 --> 00:43:45.730 multiple times from Roxanne Perez and Kalani 00:43:45.730 --> 00:43:49.559 Jordan But Kalani Jordan wasn't there Just to 00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:51.820 be you know she wasn't just there to take part 00:43:51.820 --> 00:43:55.760 she wanted to take over And eventually that's 00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:58.480 what she does she got a two count off. I've written 00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:03.199 it down as a sit -down face buster But I'm pretty 00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:06.860 sure someone mentioned. It was a face down. It 00:44:06.860 --> 00:44:11.679 was a sit -down DDT So I'm not entirely sure 00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:13.539 where we're gonna go from I think face buster 00:44:13.539 --> 00:44:16.000 sounds better because she basically just as she 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.989 jumped like split like it was a Yeah, like she 00:44:18.989 --> 00:44:23.190 had a split leg bulldog, so to speak, like she 00:44:23.190 --> 00:44:26.630 bulldogged Roxanne Perez through her own split 00:44:26.630 --> 00:44:29.829 legs as she sat, like hit the floor in a seating 00:44:29.829 --> 00:44:33.110 position onto the mat. It was interesting. I 00:44:33.110 --> 00:44:37.429 really enjoyed it. Killarney Jordan missed one 00:44:37.429 --> 00:44:40.400 of a kind a few times. And there was a bit of 00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:42.880 a nasty kick from Roxanne Perez, which looked 00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.360 like it hit Kalani Jordan in the back of the 00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:47.519 neck. And she did make the most of that to try 00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:53.099 and get two count. And then we've spoken recently 00:44:53.099 --> 00:44:57.980 about when Jimmy Uso slapped Gunther as the slap 00:44:57.980 --> 00:45:01.860 that was heard around the world. The slap that 00:45:01.860 --> 00:45:07.039 Roxanne Perez put on Kalani Jordan, very close 00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:13.980 to being as impressive. by decimals, it was still 00:45:13.980 --> 00:45:18.519 a phenomenal slap. And Kalani Jordan was not 00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:20.900 happy with that. That's a, the fuck did you just 00:45:20.900 --> 00:45:24.880 do to me? And she got up and she was swinging 00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:29.500 for the fences. She was not happy. Kalani Jordan 00:45:29.500 --> 00:45:31.940 in that process counted a Pop Rocks attempt. 00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:35.360 and then ends up holding onto the top rope and 00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:38.079 using the not the leverage she got from that 00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:39.840 but the safety that she got from that because 00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:44.559 the hold was broken to hit a DDT on Roxanne Perez 00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:49.019 and finally Killarney Jordan managed to hit that 00:45:49.019 --> 00:45:52.039 one of a kind for the three count which means 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.059 that Roxanne Perez might be going to Las Vegas 00:45:55.059 --> 00:45:57.679 but she's not going into the six women ladder 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:02.719 match for the North American title that So far 00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:08.239 Zarya and Kalani Jordan So yeah, I mean so far 00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:11.099 we've had two matches for this title for this 00:46:11.099 --> 00:46:14.780 title Qualifier both being pretty spot -on. I 00:46:14.780 --> 00:46:16.559 am I couldn't think of one that I've watched 00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:21.480 so far where I've been a little bit like It was 00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:23.940 it was this and it was that I still thoroughly 00:46:23.940 --> 00:46:27.400 enjoyed the match And I'm not gonna take anything 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:29.519 away from the guys that are in it. It was a brilliant 00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:34.730 match I personally think though, that it wasn't 00:46:34.730 --> 00:46:37.070 long enough. And that is the problem I'm gonna 00:46:37.070 --> 00:46:39.530 have with this match. I think that if they'd 00:46:39.530 --> 00:46:45.510 have taken out the little section they had earlier 00:46:45.510 --> 00:46:47.889 with the match we said they didn't need to be 00:46:47.889 --> 00:46:50.409 there between Hank and Tank and caught a catch 00:46:50.409 --> 00:46:56.889 crew. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that that match could 00:46:56.889 --> 00:47:00.510 have. Had a little bit of extra time and given 00:47:00.510 --> 00:47:05.730 us a little bit more from Kalani Jordan. So We 00:47:05.730 --> 00:47:09.949 then go I mean we go backstage again And yet 00:47:09.949 --> 00:47:13.309 again, we are seeing our general manager Ava 00:47:13.309 --> 00:47:18.329 Ava has had a very very busy day today sorting 00:47:18.329 --> 00:47:21.789 out multiple issues with multiple aspects of 00:47:21.789 --> 00:47:25.530 her NXT division and To be fair so far. She's 00:47:25.530 --> 00:47:30.739 pretty much got everything down to a T. But she's 00:47:30.739 --> 00:47:35.579 in there with the general manager of WWE Evolve, 00:47:36.980 --> 00:47:41.099 which I, like I said, I haven't watched. So I 00:47:41.099 --> 00:47:48.199 am not sure who their general manager is. So 00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:54.420 I think it's gonna be a case that I'm gonna have 00:47:54.420 --> 00:47:57.000 to go back and do a little bit more research. 00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:04.880 for this one because I'm really not sure where 00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:15.260 it could go from this one. Stevie Turner is the 00:48:15.260 --> 00:48:19.480 on -screen general manager for WWE Evolve. That 00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:24.559 was announced on March 26th. She made history 00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:27.769 being the first general manager of Evolve. and 00:48:27.769 --> 00:48:31.469 she made her way onto NXT to have a conversation 00:48:31.469 --> 00:48:34.929 with Ava about swipe right and Ava says look 00:48:34.929 --> 00:48:36.650 at the moment I don't really have time for swipe 00:48:36.650 --> 00:48:40.809 right my focus is dark state she states that 00:48:40.809 --> 00:48:45.309 she says sorry that next week we are getting 00:48:45.309 --> 00:48:50.630 a six -man tag match at which point we find out 00:48:50.630 --> 00:48:54.489 that three members of the four of dark state 00:48:54.489 --> 00:48:57.989 will be facing over Femi Tripp Williams and Jovan 00:48:57.989 --> 00:49:02.389 Evans. So the main event of Stand and Deliver 00:49:02.389 --> 00:49:06.349 are having to team up next week to stop Dark 00:49:06.349 --> 00:49:12.190 State in their first official match on WWE NXT. 00:49:13.230 --> 00:49:16.170 So tune in for that one because I think that 00:49:16.170 --> 00:49:18.789 could be phenomenal. Purely, I just want to see 00:49:18.789 --> 00:49:20.610 what Dark State can do because we've seen them 00:49:20.610 --> 00:49:22.369 all run in and we've seen them beat people up 00:49:22.369 --> 00:49:25.090 and throw them away. And for me, it's time to 00:49:25.090 --> 00:49:28.880 see what they are capable of and what their stamina 00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:30.719 is like and whether they're at a position where 00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:34.460 they can have a full match. We then go backstage 00:49:34.460 --> 00:49:37.199 and see Sarah Schreiber talking to Ricky Saints 00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:41.460 about his match with Shawn Spears, which is our 00:49:41.460 --> 00:49:47.320 NXT main event. This is for the North American 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:51.320 title and that basically Ricky Saints just says 00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:54.800 that he's taken this title off Shawn Spears tonight 00:49:54.800 --> 00:50:00.480 and And that's the end of that. But well, we'll 00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:02.840 find out in the main event in a few moments because 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:05.699 we have another little section to go through 00:50:05.699 --> 00:50:08.239 first. Well, actually we've got two. The first 00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:12.280 one is where we see Zarya and Soruka backstage 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:14.840 and Zarya is telling Soruka that basically, you 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.940 know, when it comes to stand and deliver, I'd 00:50:17.940 --> 00:50:20.579 like you to be at ringside with me. And I think 00:50:20.579 --> 00:50:24.539 that's a fair show. It's a six woman ladder match. 00:50:24.619 --> 00:50:26.239 This is gonna be an interesting match. And she 00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:28.159 just wants her tag buddy there to make sure that 00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:33.480 no one fucks her too hard. At which point Killarney 00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:35.400 Jordan comes in from the side and she's like, 00:50:35.500 --> 00:50:37.840 oh my God, did you see my match? How amazing 00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:41.380 was that? I beat the prodigy. I'm off to this 00:50:41.380 --> 00:50:46.989 match at Stand and Deliver.

It's going to 00:50:49.349 --> 00:50:52.710 be one of us two that wins that match at which 00:50:52.710 --> 00:50:56.449 point Zarya looks at Soruka like the fuck and 00:50:56.449 --> 00:51:00.449 We find out from then that Soruka has her qualifying 00:51:00.449 --> 00:51:03.070 match next week.

Concerned about finding out 00:51:35.969 --> 00:51:38.230 who they were and all they really need us to 00:51:38.230 --> 00:51:41.989 know is they're here to take belts. They want 00:51:41.989 --> 00:51:46.380 gold which Who can blame him really who gets 00:51:46.380 --> 00:51:48.860 into professional wrestling and goes I don't 00:51:48.860 --> 00:51:51.340 want to hold a title fuck that noise I just want 00:51:51.340 --> 00:51:54.599 to sell more merch, you know, you know, it's 00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:56.059 gonna be one of those and we're gonna get there 00:51:56.059 --> 00:51:59.179 eventually but getting there is one thing we 00:51:59.179 --> 00:52:02.619 have done and You guys are not gonna have to 00:52:02.619 --> 00:52:05.599 hear my voice for much longer in this episode 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:09.480 because we have got to our main event of the 00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:13.679 evening This was Ricky Saints and Shawn Spears 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:16.440 who was accompanied to the ring by the Culling 00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:20.659 for their North American title match which uh 00:52:20.659 --> 00:52:25.179 yeah won hell of a match and one that I actually 00:52:25.179 --> 00:52:28.019 personally really enjoyed watching. Right so 00:52:28.019 --> 00:52:31.300 this match this match was actually really good 00:52:31.300 --> 00:52:33.820 it started off with uh the bell rings and Shawn 00:52:33.820 --> 00:52:36.320 Spears is like nope fuck this I am out of here 00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:39.949 and disappears out the under the bottom rope 00:52:39.949 --> 00:52:43.889 down towards the announce table at which point 00:52:43.889 --> 00:52:46.469 Ricky Saints is like I don't think so my good 00:52:46.469 --> 00:52:50.769 sir come back here and flies over the top rope 00:52:50.769 --> 00:52:53.869 to get him and go straight after him to be fair 00:52:53.869 --> 00:52:57.829 gives him a few slaps around few punches and 00:52:57.829 --> 00:53:02.289 then ends up pulling off I mean this isn't something 00:53:02.289 --> 00:53:04.590 we see we see Damien Priest use this quite a 00:53:04.590 --> 00:53:10.440 lot But Ricky Saints hit a rather naughty old 00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:17.599 school off the barricade on to Sean Spears who 00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:21.019 then climbs back up. We don't know what happens 00:53:21.019 --> 00:53:23.780 from here because we went to a commercial break. 00:53:23.980 --> 00:53:26.860 Then when we came back from the commercial break 00:53:26.860 --> 00:53:29.699 Ricky Saints wasn't on the barricade he was on 00:53:29.699 --> 00:53:31.420 his hands and knees in the middle of the ring 00:53:31.420 --> 00:53:36.309 and Sean Spears was Basically just attacking 00:53:36.309 --> 00:53:40.789 him from behind here I've got at one point Sean 00:53:40.789 --> 00:53:44.590 Spears goes to lariat Ricky Saints into the corner 00:53:44.590 --> 00:53:50.210 and Ricky bounces off the three padded turnbuckles 00:53:50.210 --> 00:53:53.750 and kind of just lands on the floor about two 00:53:53.750 --> 00:53:57.909 feet away and He's hurting. I don't know how 00:53:57.909 --> 00:54:00.230 hard he hit that but he hit it pretty goddamn 00:54:00.230 --> 00:54:03.659 hard Sean Spears jumped straight on top of him 00:54:03.659 --> 00:54:06.739 and starts punching him in the face. I mean as 00:54:06.739 --> 00:54:08.940 would anyone in this situation I suppose it's 00:54:08.940 --> 00:54:13.119 it is one of those like You can go or you can't 00:54:13.119 --> 00:54:15.460 go and Sean Spears decided that this particular 00:54:15.460 --> 00:54:20.139 time he was going for it At one point again following 00:54:20.139 --> 00:54:22.539 on from this Sean Spears throws Ricky on the 00:54:22.539 --> 00:54:26.239 floor goes up to the top Rope and Ricky Saints 00:54:26.239 --> 00:54:28.639 basically just gets up and goes running at him 00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:33.000 and swings right at him to the point where Ricky 00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:35.980 Saints actually takes a little bit more control 00:54:35.980 --> 00:54:40.119 about what is going on climbs back up to the 00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:45.079 top rope with Sean Spears up there and hits what 00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:50.760 I can describe only as move of the evening this 00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:56.239 was basically a jackhammer suplex so he went 00:54:56.239 --> 00:55:00.480 from Sean Spears sitting on the ring post and 00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:06.539 Ricky Saints standing on rope three. So we've 00:55:06.539 --> 00:55:11.019 got like a suplex happening, but as Ricky Saints 00:55:11.019 --> 00:55:15.679 lifts him up and over, he manages to turn himself. 00:55:15.699 --> 00:55:19.739 So as he lands it, it basically is a jackhammer. 00:55:20.059 --> 00:55:25.250 And it was incredible. Goldberg himself. Would 00:55:25.250 --> 00:55:27.630 have been impressed with this jackhammer that 00:55:27.630 --> 00:55:29.949 Ricky Saints managed to pull out of absolutely 00:55:29.949 --> 00:55:32.690 nowhere by the way. There is no way on earth 00:55:32.690 --> 00:55:34.389 I'd have looked at that and gone. That's what 00:55:34.389 --> 00:55:37.949 Ricky Saints is gonna do. Nope. No, no, no, no, 00:55:38.210 --> 00:55:41.630 no, no way Which is pretty much this entire match 00:55:41.630 --> 00:55:44.690 I did not look at either of the any of the spots 00:55:44.690 --> 00:55:48.150 in this match and go he's gonna do this He'd 00:55:48.150 --> 00:55:51.030 say didn't you could not read this one from a 00:55:51.030 --> 00:55:53.010 note -taking perspective. This match was a real 00:55:53.010 --> 00:55:56.139 pain in the butt because I couldn't type fast 00:55:56.139 --> 00:55:58.539 enough and if I pause it to type and unpause 00:55:58.539 --> 00:56:01.559 it and yeah it messes with me and I end up forgetting 00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:03.840 that I'm doing either the watching or the typing 00:56:03.840 --> 00:56:07.380 and I just end up just typing a huge amount or 00:56:07.380 --> 00:56:10.360 I don't type anything at all. Which again is 00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:13.679 not particularly happy. We do get some pretty 00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:16.119 phenomenal moves. So Sean Spears counted a tornado 00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:20.650 DDT. Then a a spine buster for the privilege 00:56:20.650 --> 00:56:23.510 of it the Ricky Saints literally was all over 00:56:23.510 --> 00:56:27.530 Sean Spears for a majority of this match and 00:56:27.530 --> 00:56:31.050 Then so at one point Sean Spears decides you 00:56:31.050 --> 00:56:32.449 know what I've had enough. I need a breather 00:56:32.449 --> 00:56:35.070 I'm just gonna nip to the outside of the ring 00:56:35.070 --> 00:56:38.929 Again, Ricky Saints is like I do not think so 00:56:38.929 --> 00:56:44.260 come here, please jumped Over to find him and 00:56:44.260 --> 00:56:48.139 then hit a tornado DDT using the steps of the 00:56:48.139 --> 00:56:52.960 apron and the floor the concrete floor of the 00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:56.179 Performance Center and Sean Spears head made 00:56:56.179 --> 00:57:00.360 some pretty sweet connections this evening The 00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.110 end of the match though is not too far away And 00:57:04.110 --> 00:57:07.329 it looks like it is going to go the way of Sean 00:57:07.329 --> 00:57:10.409 Spears and the Culling when Nico starts trying 00:57:10.409 --> 00:57:14.190 to distract the ref. Izzy Dame throws Sean Spears 00:57:14.190 --> 00:57:19.250 his title and Sean Spears whacks Ricky Saints 00:57:19.250 --> 00:57:25.250 right between his two eyes with that North American 00:57:25.250 --> 00:57:31.329 title and still the hand went down for two on 00:57:31.329 --> 00:57:34.130 that two count Ricky popped a shoulder as I just 00:57:34.130 --> 00:57:39.949 say you are not gonna get me that easy and in 00:57:39.949 --> 00:57:43.590 normal fashion he who laughs last laughs longest 00:57:43.590 --> 00:57:48.510 because Ricky science Ricky Saints sorry hit 00:57:48.510 --> 00:57:56.150 a c4 on Sean Spears if we then see him take Jensen 00:57:56.150 --> 00:58:04.000 out with a Spear And Brooks as well and then 00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:09.639 he Spears Sean Spears again and hits the Rochambeau 00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:14.519 for the three count making Ricky Saints not only 00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:19.519 our new North American champion with two weeks 00:58:19.519 --> 00:58:23.659 left to go and to stand and deliver he beat Ethan 00:58:23.659 --> 00:58:28.750 Page's record of the fastest signing or the fastest 00:58:28.750 --> 00:58:33.769 debut to title by seven days and speaker the 00:58:33.769 --> 00:58:38.750 devil again when you say his name and he generally 00:58:38.750 --> 00:58:44.630 has a tendency to appear ethan page all ego ethan 00:58:44.630 --> 00:58:48.369 page decided that he was not going to let this 00:58:48.369 --> 00:58:52.030 stand and he comes running out and completely 00:58:52.030 --> 00:58:54.650 drops ricky saints who by the way is just having 00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:58.639 pretty stonking match against Shawn Spears.
