WEBVTT 00:00:31.709 --> 00:00:34.229 Hello everyone and welcome to another episode 00:00:34.229 --> 00:00:37.289 of Finishes and Factions. This time we are at 00:00:37.289 --> 00:00:43.009 Stand and Deliver. This is NXT's version of WrestleMania 00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:46.170 on WrestleMania weekend from the T -Mobile Arena, 00:00:46.829 --> 00:00:51.969 Las Vegas. So with this one we're gonna jump 00:00:51.969 --> 00:00:54.469 in as Stand and Deliver did to the very first 00:00:54.469 --> 00:00:57.960 match. Which was a North American Championship 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.880 match between Ricky Saints and all -ego Ethan 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.299 Page This one was actually a really good match. 00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:08.159 I really enjoyed this. It was a great start to 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.859 the NXT card Now we have a selection of title 00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:14.140 matches going on this evening. This is the first 00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:18.079 one And to jump straight into the action like 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.939 Ricky Saints did, he went old school off the 00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:24.620 start onto Ethan Page and rebounds off the ropes 00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:30.200 with a clothesline taking him out. And then see 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.859 Ethan Page hang Ricky Saints up on the top rope 00:01:32.859 --> 00:01:36.719 and hit a running slam onto the apron afterwards. 00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:40.859 There's quite a few big moves into this one to 00:01:40.859 --> 00:01:43.780 be fair, so. a lot of it was Ethan Page focusing 00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:46.079 on the lower back of Ricky Saints who hurt that 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.780 during the slam into the apron off the the top 00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:54.879 rope and it's a lot of a lot of side stuff there's 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.640 a suplex for a two count he had a side slam for 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.140 a two count at one point we even have Ethan Page 00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:03.980 telling the crowd to kiss his ass which is always 00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:12.990 a always a nice one to have he Ricky Saints reverses 00:02:12.990 --> 00:02:16.349 a suplex into a rather nasty little neck breaker, 00:02:16.349 --> 00:02:21.889 goes for a springboard move but Ethan Page moves 00:02:21.889 --> 00:02:25.009 out the way and Ricky Saints goes up over onto 00:02:25.009 --> 00:02:29.310 the announce table and bounces through to where 00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:34.810 we have our commentary team sat. He then gets 00:02:34.810 --> 00:02:37.909 thrown back into the ring by Ethan Page. A big 00:02:37.909 --> 00:02:41.740 boot attempt goes off. And then we end up with 00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:44.680 Ethan Page locking in a Boston Crab onto the 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.020 lower, you know, trying to seriously work at 00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:51.860 the lower back of Ricky Saints. He uses the bottom 00:02:51.860 --> 00:02:55.560 rope to break the Boston Crab. We get a few punches 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.599 exchanged and Ethan Page then kicks Ricky Saints 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.639 in the lower of the back. He's like a saint. 00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:08.500 Ethan Pages is definitely pushing a lot towards 00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:12.860 this lower back that Ricky Saints had hurt during 00:03:12.860 --> 00:03:18.639 the start of this match. You can tell he's struggling 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:20.639 a little bit. His confidence has been knocked. 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.080 He does manage to get himself out of an ego's 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.669 edge and lands a few half decent shots. There 00:03:28.669 --> 00:03:31.389 is another opportunity for Ethan Page to try 00:03:31.389 --> 00:03:33.949 again He throws Ricky Saints on the top rope 00:03:33.949 --> 00:03:35.949 sending him flying out of the ring Just kind 00:03:35.949 --> 00:03:37.490 of basically picks him up and just drops him 00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:41.629 on the rope like lets the rope do all the work 00:03:41.629 --> 00:03:45.449 Bounces him halfway across the outside Of which 00:03:45.449 --> 00:03:47.789 Ricky Saints when he comes back into the ring 00:03:47.789 --> 00:03:52.210 replies with a tornado DDT and a spine buster 00:03:52.210 --> 00:03:55.990 A few minutes later followed by a two count of 00:03:55.990 --> 00:04:00.370 a mission rookie kick The crowd are chanting, 00:04:00.550 --> 00:04:04.030 Tony fumbled. Now, I don't know about you guys, 00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:07.569 but I don't think Ricky Saints' debut into NXT 00:04:07.569 --> 00:04:11.210 has been anything as what it could have been 00:04:11.210 --> 00:04:15.629 with the hype that he had around him. And the 00:04:15.629 --> 00:04:18.029 whole thing felt quite lackluster even to them 00:04:18.029 --> 00:04:20.029 kind of like just throwing them out on that one 00:04:20.029 --> 00:04:23.970 episode of NXT. I want to say it was the last 00:04:23.970 --> 00:04:25.779 pay -per -view. I think it was Roadblock where 00:04:25.779 --> 00:04:28.120 they threw him out at the end. He was like, hey, 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.920 I'm here and the guys are still setting up the 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:32.620 cage. So I'm just going to talk for a few minutes 00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:37.620 to keep everyone entertained. We then ended up 00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:40.639 with Ethan Page getting a power slam and a two 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:44.060 count. Ricky Saints hits a Hurricane Rana -style 00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:47.300 neck breaker, which was really, really nice. 00:04:47.339 --> 00:04:50.139 I really enjoyed watching this. We see Ricky 00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:53.459 Saints go up top. Ethan Page goes up as well. 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.500 Ethan Page ends up with Ricky Saints on his shoulders 00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:59.740 and Ricky reverses it into a powerbomb for a 00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:03.759 two count. He basically drops himself over the 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.879 front and picks him up and drops him, which was 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:10.120 beautiful. So Ethan Page hits the confidence 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:14.879 breaker and ee -oo's edge for a two count. Ricky 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.379 Saints replies with a spear and a ro -sham -bow 00:05:18.379 --> 00:05:21.629 for the three count. which means that The Revolution 00:05:21.629 --> 00:05:25.790 continues, Ricky Saints retains his North American 00:05:25.790 --> 00:05:31.389 title, and we end up with Ethan Page going back 00:05:31.389 --> 00:05:35.410 to the queue for his shot at that one. We move 00:05:35.410 --> 00:05:39.790 into this into a recap of what we had from Smackdown 00:05:39.790 --> 00:05:42.810 last night, which was between Roman Reigns, Seth 00:05:42.810 --> 00:05:46.449 Rollins and CM Punk. Basically just a recap of 00:05:46.449 --> 00:05:51.649 their story from the start to finish. And yeah, 00:05:51.670 --> 00:05:55.029 it's gonna be an interesting one. But we'll see 00:05:55.029 --> 00:06:01.870 how that goes. So we go from that VT into our 00:06:01.870 --> 00:06:05.370 second match of the evening, which is always, 00:06:05.370 --> 00:06:08.189 always a fun one because our second match of 00:06:08.189 --> 00:06:10.870 the evening is for our tag team titles. This 00:06:10.870 --> 00:06:15.459 is the Challengers Hank and Tank. versus Fraxium. 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.600 Obviously, Hank and Tank won that gauntlet match 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.939 on last week's NXT to be able to get here. And 00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:26.319 to be fair, this match had in everything that 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.000 we needed it to, I wanted it to, and I really, 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.920 really enjoyed watching this match. There was 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.339 a lot of things to it that were really, really 00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:40.319 fun to do and really, really good to watch. So, 00:06:40.660 --> 00:06:43.509 Axiom and Hank started. There was a sweet little 00:06:43.509 --> 00:06:45.670 double team with Nathan Fraser running the ropes 00:06:45.670 --> 00:06:49.269 very quickly Nathan Fraser can't half get some 00:06:49.269 --> 00:06:52.170 speed on those ropes. I'll tell you it's It's 00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:55.209 mental the sort of sort of ability that guy has 00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:59.949 when it comes to just running those ropes But 00:06:59.949 --> 00:07:03.129 we get there there's a hankin tank with a double 00:07:03.129 --> 00:07:07.069 team bulldog on Nathan Fraser from with the double 00:07:07.069 --> 00:07:10.410 team, sorry There was a bulldog onto Nathan Fraser 00:07:10.410 --> 00:07:14.370 from Hank and a senton from Hank as well on to 00:07:14.370 --> 00:07:18.870 Nathan Fraser. Nathan Fraser manages to hit Hank 00:07:18.870 --> 00:07:23.050 with a DDT whilst Axiom drop -kicked Hank. I 00:07:23.050 --> 00:07:25.970 would say you're going to get very confused with 00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:28.189 a lot of this. I was just as confused watching 00:07:28.189 --> 00:07:30.889 this purely for the fact that there was just 00:07:30.889 --> 00:07:35.709 so much going on. So much of this match. It was 00:07:35.709 --> 00:07:39.699 insane. It was like it really was a great match 00:07:39.699 --> 00:07:43.779 Axiom get a two count on Hank and then lock in 00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:46.920 a sleeper hold Hank drops Axiom with a clothesline 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.160 caught gets caught by Nathan Fraser with a double 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:54.180 axe handle And then we have a massive series 00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:56.699 of moves finished with a standing shooting star 00:07:56.699 --> 00:08:01.259 by Nathan Fraser for a two count Nathan Fraser 00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:04.240 then locks in the rear naked choke hold, but 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.220 Hank muscles himself out Axiom tries again and 00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:09.040 rolls him through into an arm bar and then a 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.240 triangle submission hold. Does not get anything 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.899 from this. We then get Axiom hold Hank in an 00:08:15.899 --> 00:08:19.540 octopus hold but he breaks out and slams Axiom 00:08:19.540 --> 00:08:23.040 on the mat while Hank is on the outside busy 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.699 hyping everyone up. And to be fair, he didn't 00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:27.500 really need to be doing that. It was definitely 00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:30.540 a match where the hype itself was already there. 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:40.179 Just the extra little bit did help. We then move 00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:43.080 into Hank throwing Axiom in the ring and hitting 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.240 a big splash while he runs into the corner, jumps 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.059 up and shoulder tackles both of them into the 00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:52.820 mid -air. He then manages to pull a Fisherman's 00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:55.799 Suplex into a Spine Buster for a two count, which 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.799 was really, really nicely done. Then Nathan Fraser 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.240 ended up with a Crucifix cover and a two count. 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.240 So at this point it was just two count after 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.360 two count after two count after two count. So 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.600 many of them going on. Nathan Fraser throws Axiom 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.480 over the top ropes and ends up Hurricane Rana 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:18.419 -ing Hank who then throws him and ends up with 00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:20.980 the Hurricane Rana throwing Hank into tank and 00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:26.299 Axiom hits a frog splash and Nathan Fraser hits 00:09:26.299 --> 00:09:32.539 a 450 splash for a two count on Hank. We then 00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:35.460 see Axiom take Tank on the outside, Hank throws 00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:37.679 Nathan Fraser into the corner and hits a sit 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:45.899 -down inverted power slam as Axiom breaks up 00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:50.879 the count at two. Tank throws Axiom out and Hank 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.620 goes up top. Nathan Fraser goes up to me and 00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:56.200 then gets pushed back down and Hank hits a cross 00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.240 -body. Tank drops Hank onto Nathan Fraser for 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.799 a two count and like a basic power slams his 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:06.019 buddy into his opponent Again, they're using 00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:08.320 these two big guys are using everything they 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.460 kind of have to be able to give themselves the 00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:16.220 advantage in this point and It was so Close, 00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:19.340 you know between who actually had the advantage 00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:22.139 for a lot of this match a lot of this you match 00:10:22.139 --> 00:10:24.000 I kind of generally thought it was going to end 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.090 up being an interference and a and no disqualification, 00:10:28.570 --> 00:10:35.950 but we do end up watching Fraxium get the, hit 00:10:35.950 --> 00:10:38.350 a high low for a two count and the move, like 00:10:38.350 --> 00:10:41.429 it's mental, the speed and the agility those 00:10:41.429 --> 00:10:45.549 two guys have got, but this one does end up. 00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:48.960 finishing with Nathan Fraser going up top and 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.259 missing as Hank hits a boss man slam on him while 00:10:54.259 --> 00:11:00.500 Hank takes out Axiom. Which means that Hank and 00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:06.259 Tank are crowned the new NXT Tag Team Champions. 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.820 And Hank and Tank offer their hands to Axiom 00:11:09.820 --> 00:11:14.129 in the ring. Brought a fraxium and axiom kicks 00:11:14.129 --> 00:11:17.730 the hand away and pulls him in for a hug And 00:11:17.730 --> 00:11:19.929 it's actually quite a nice little nice little 00:11:19.929 --> 00:11:24.129 moment. So we have one retention so far and a 00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:28.090 new set of Champions in Hankin tank with the 00:11:28.090 --> 00:11:34.100 NXT tag team titles which I must admit, I did 00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:36.860 not see coming, but I'm very much a fan of this. 00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:38.820 I've been enjoying watching Hank and Tank for 00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:40.700 the last few weeks. I thought their gauntlet 00:11:40.700 --> 00:11:45.860 match last week was amazing. And the fact that 00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:49.799 at one point Hank ate a Spanish fly onto the 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:53.179 announce table, does not move for a long time, 00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:58.740 and then pops back up to help Tank win was incredible. 00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:01.879 If you didn't get an opportunity to watch this 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.360 match or you haven't, you're not really a big 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.799 fan of NXT, but you thought, stand and deliver. 00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:08.500 I'll give the podcast episode a listen and see 00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:10.340 what happens. Go and watch the episode. It was 00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:14.279 incredible. It was a mental episode. And so we 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.879 were two matches in and we've already, this was 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.100 one of the, I remember messaging Adam going, 00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:20.879 holy shit, like you need to hurry up and watch 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.360 this. I need to be able to talk to this about, 00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:26.379 talk about this with someone. And yeah, no, it 00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:30.500 was mental. I loved it. But we will move on from 00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:36.019 there into a slight recap of Tiffy Stratton and 00:12:36.019 --> 00:12:40.480 Charlotte Flair and their story from the start. 00:12:41.779 --> 00:12:44.960 And then we move backstage with Sarah Schreiber 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:49.840 talking to one half of the magician team, Penn 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.000 and Teller. and she's talking to Penn about the 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.440 magic and he says you know some people don't 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.559 like magic and believe that it's not real and 00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.980 then we say we see Lexus King coming in saying 00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:03.360 it's a ruse it's all smoke and mirrors and that 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.820 you know Lexus King is an intellectual and it's 00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:08.000 the realest thing you ever see and Penn says 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.539 to him well you know well let's let's see what 00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:14.440 happens then so he puts gets Lexus King to put 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.059 his heritage cup inside this massive cage so 00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:20.230 they'll cover it up Make it so no one can see 00:13:20.230 --> 00:13:21.970 it. The Sun doesn't get to it doesn't fade it. 00:13:21.970 --> 00:13:23.990 Keep it nice and clean You know Lexus Kings like 00:13:23.990 --> 00:13:26.149 yeah, I spend a lot of time polishing this this 00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:29.830 will will do that. That's a good idea and So 00:13:29.830 --> 00:13:31.769 they cover it up and then when they open the 00:13:31.769 --> 00:13:35.129 cage back up the heritage cup is not there but 00:13:35.129 --> 00:13:39.450 we see other half of this magical duo teller 00:13:39.450 --> 00:13:46.490 and a J so sure J U so sure sorry, so you Which 00:13:46.490 --> 00:13:50.320 was a Definitely an interesting one and poor 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.340 Alexis King was left wondering where his trophy 00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:57.539 had gone. He has managed to lose that heritage 00:13:57.539 --> 00:13:59.840 cup and that is not going to go down well with 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:06.059 Shaun Mike and the rest of the team. I mean, 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.940 I mean, I think I'd be pissed if I was someone's 00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:10.960 boss and they come to me saying, boss, I've lost 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.460 this and you went, well, what? How can you lose 00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:17.299 that? But, you know, it's one of those and it 00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:20.700 is what it is. Anyway, we will jump into our 00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:24.539 next match. Now, our next match is a ladder match. 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:29.019 It's a six -woman ladder match for the Women's 00:14:29.019 --> 00:14:31.919 North American Championship, recently vacated 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.919 by Stephanie Vacour. So we, in this match, have 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:44.019 Leah Hale, Lola Weiss, Izzy Dane, Alani Jordan, 00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:49.779 Zarya and Soruka. Now Soruka is going to be feeling 00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:51.539 a little bit more than the rest of them at this 00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:53.740 point because we are informed that she won at 00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:59.320 the speed event previous night and we basically 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.080 start off with all the women kind of going for 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.159 each other and scattering out and we end up with 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.639 Kalani Jordan being the last one in the ring. 00:15:08.090 --> 00:15:12.029 and then it ends up being Kalani Jordan and Sol 00:15:12.029 --> 00:15:15.870 Ruka in the ring while the other women create 00:15:15.870 --> 00:15:21.870 pure chaos on the outside. Now Izzy Dame takes 00:15:21.870 --> 00:15:24.610 Sol Ruka out with a ladder into the steel steps 00:15:24.610 --> 00:15:27.169 and Sol Ruka and Kalani Jordan are playing tug 00:15:27.169 --> 00:15:32.210 of war over a ladder a little bit later on the 00:15:32.210 --> 00:15:35.429 inside. We then see Sol Rukas set the ladder 00:15:35.429 --> 00:15:37.970 up and start climbing but Thea Hale pulls her 00:15:37.970 --> 00:15:43.789 down and hits a DDT so she can start climbing 00:15:43.789 --> 00:15:47.110 up. We then end up having Lola Weiss pulling 00:15:47.110 --> 00:15:49.809 her down and start climbing. Kalani Jordan pulls 00:15:49.809 --> 00:15:53.610 her down and starts climbing. Thea and Lola Weiss 00:15:53.610 --> 00:15:58.009 team up to take down Kalani Jordan. Zarya hits 00:15:58.009 --> 00:16:00.629 a double spear and then follows that one up by 00:16:00.629 --> 00:16:04.090 another spear onto Izzy Dane. while Soruka knocked 00:16:04.090 --> 00:16:08.289 over the ladder. I mean this ladder at this point 00:16:08.289 --> 00:16:10.830 is pretty fucked up. It's warped, it's bent, 00:16:11.429 --> 00:16:15.490 it's going nowhere, but Zarya decides to use 00:16:15.490 --> 00:16:17.669 it as a weapon anyway and starts spinning it 00:16:17.669 --> 00:16:20.450 around, taking out everyone apart from Izzy, 00:16:20.470 --> 00:16:24.629 Dame and Soruka. Izzy, Dame then drop kicks her 00:16:24.629 --> 00:16:28.450 down, picks her up into a suplex, but Zarya was 00:16:28.450 --> 00:16:31.620 not going to let that happen, reverses it. and 00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:35.080 then Izzy Dane reverses that attack onto a suplex 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:40.740 on top of the ladder. We then see Kalani Jordan 00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:43.759 landing a mystic leg drop on top of Lola Weiss' 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.399 neck who is hung up on the ropes and Kalani Jordan 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.240 clears the house from the apron and a moonsault 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.659 onto the last two standing which are Thea Hale 00:16:52.659 --> 00:16:59.649 and Saul Rooker. Now this match was just... AOS 00:16:59.649 --> 00:17:03.029 and I did my best to try and keep up with it 00:17:03.029 --> 00:17:06.250 but we are gonna start getting to a point where 00:17:06.250 --> 00:17:10.150 my notes don't make a lot of sense and I can't 00:17:10.150 --> 00:17:16.789 even tell you why. It was just a little bit of 00:17:16.789 --> 00:17:19.670 a pain to be able to keep up with. From a fan's 00:17:19.670 --> 00:17:25.410 perspective it was like incredible but from a 00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:28.359 a podcaster perspective, it was definitely a 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:33.619 difficult one to try and keep hold of. So after 00:17:33.619 --> 00:17:36.500 the Mystic Med drop and the Moon Salt onto Thea 00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:40.400 Hale and Sol Rooker, we see Izzy Dame throw Kalani 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.900 Jordan around and goes to Suplex onto a ladder, 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.500 but Kalani Jordan reverses it into a backdrop 00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:48.880 onto the ladder, as to which she then hits a 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.960 Split Leg Moon Salt onto Izzy Dame. and then 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.440 picks up the ladder and starts climbing up. Lola 00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.559 Weiss catches up and they start fighting at the 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.799 top of it as Kalani Jordan gets knocked off and 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.539 Lola Weiss gets her hands on the title but Jess 00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:08.960 can't seem to grab hold of it enough to be able 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.019 to pull it off the bar holding it above the ring. 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.240 Lola Weiss pops a sleeper hold on the Saruka 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.599 and starts climbing up but Thea Hale pulls her 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.839 down. And we see Lola Weiss running hip toss 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:29.039 into the corner. Izzy Dane pulls her back off 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.480 the ladder after another climbing attempt. But 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.759 Lola Weiss comes out on top of that sort of engagement. 00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:41.500 But Kalani Jordan does eventually pull her down 00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:46.339 before she gets back up. And Soruka tries a powerbomb. 00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:51.200 And Lola Weiss hits a back fist into the ladder. 00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:57.759 And Izzy Dane then drops Lola Weiss with the 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.299 next, I think it was a kick next. Slowly followed 00:19:02.299 --> 00:19:06.539 up by a choke slam on Kalani Jordan by Izzy Dane 00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:09.660 and a sit down powerbomb on Sol Ruka off the 00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:13.420 ladder. Izzy Dane then starts climbing. Thea 00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:15.500 Hale catches up to her and gets pushed back. 00:19:15.740 --> 00:19:20.900 Thea pushes the ladder over. and lands a headbutt 00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:24.980 on Izzy Dane. I mean, these women were throwing 00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:28.099 everything at it. We had all sorts of finishes, 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:33.559 you know, signature moves, big moves, you know, 00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:37.599 last bitched efforts, and it just keeps going 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:38.980 and going. At this point, we're only sort of 00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:46.240 like halfway through the match. Yeah. No, so 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.900 we end up with Thea Hale setting up another ladder. 00:19:50.259 --> 00:19:54.579 Kalani Jordan runs at her and ends up in a fisherman 00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:58.259 suplex into the ladder, which then gets knocked 00:19:58.259 --> 00:20:01.680 over. Thea Hale sets it back up in the centre 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.259 and starts climbing up. Again, she has her hands 00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:06.519 on the title but can't quite pull it and Izzy 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.549 Dane pulls the ladder. Way out from underneath 00:20:09.549 --> 00:20:12.349 the title kind of pushes the ladder to one way 00:20:12.349 --> 00:20:14.549 but not to push it over but just slides it through 00:20:14.549 --> 00:20:18.210 the ring and the title then comes out of her 00:20:18.210 --> 00:20:22.769 grasp and We end up seeing Thea Hale lock in 00:20:22.769 --> 00:20:26.569 a Chimera lock on top and it basically ends up 00:20:26.569 --> 00:20:29.529 with Izzy Dane and the culling Having a little 00:20:29.529 --> 00:20:31.329 bit of support from the culling as they come 00:20:31.329 --> 00:20:34.109 out to ringside. They don't actually interfere 00:20:34.430 --> 00:20:37.130 at this point but they are definitely just there 00:20:37.130 --> 00:20:41.750 as a distraction technique. Zarya tosses the 00:20:41.750 --> 00:20:43.990 ladder out of the ring with fear hail on it and 00:20:43.990 --> 00:20:47.289 they end up taking out the culling with that. 00:20:47.970 --> 00:20:50.170 She basically just tipped it over with fear hail 00:20:50.170 --> 00:20:54.369 like stood on top of it and that tipped her down 00:20:54.369 --> 00:20:56.529 and then she could literally just grab it and 00:20:56.529 --> 00:21:01.450 pull it back up to be able to use the ladder 00:21:01.450 --> 00:21:05.309 to start climbing and going up Kalani Jordan 00:21:05.309 --> 00:21:08.349 takes her off the ladder and starts hitting Zarya 00:21:08.349 --> 00:21:11.809 with a ladder while Saruka saves her tag partner. 00:21:13.089 --> 00:21:15.589 Saruka and Kalani Jordan start fighting with 00:21:15.589 --> 00:21:18.309 a ladder while Zarya starts to climb up and we 00:21:18.309 --> 00:21:20.630 end up with one ladder constructed in the middle 00:21:20.630 --> 00:21:25.390 and another ladder split between the rope and 00:21:25.390 --> 00:21:29.430 the rungs on the other ladder in like a table 00:21:29.430 --> 00:21:35.390 style position. And we basically end up Seeing 00:21:35.390 --> 00:21:40.549 the guys fighting on the ladder and Zarya backdrops 00:21:40.549 --> 00:21:43.430 Lola Weiss onto the ladder and then Kalani Jordan 00:21:43.430 --> 00:21:46.049 lands on Lola Weiss on the ladder with a frog 00:21:46.049 --> 00:21:49.309 splash That ladder did not give way though and 00:21:49.309 --> 00:21:52.930 Kalani Jordan bounced off. She didn't hit it 00:21:52.930 --> 00:21:55.569 cleanly She bounced and it looked like she'd 00:21:55.569 --> 00:21:59.190 actually really quite hurt herself here Which 00:21:59.190 --> 00:22:07.880 was an interesting one. We then see Kalani Jordan 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.380 go up and Soruka springboards up onto the ladder 00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:14.180 and both can reach the title but Soruka gets 00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:17.599 rocked by a Kalani Jordan kick and Zarya pulls 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.940 Kalani Jordan off the ladder and throws her onto 00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:24.259 the culling ringside and it's just the tag teammates 00:22:24.259 --> 00:22:28.240 left. We have Soruka and Zarya, the tag team 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:37.720 of Zarya, busy sort of just standing tall in 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.180 the middle of the ring. It seems to be a bit 00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:43.460 of a slugfest at the top of the ladder from the 00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:45.619 two of them and it's a headbutt from Zarya that 00:22:45.619 --> 00:22:48.619 makes them both slide down to the point where 00:22:48.619 --> 00:22:51.440 Soruka kicks Zarya off the ladder and Izzy Dane 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:54.700 comes and grabs her foot. We end up seeing Soruka 00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:57.160 hit a soul snatcher on Izzy Dane from halfway 00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.539 up the ladder and then another one onto Thea 00:22:59.539 --> 00:23:03.200 Hale while she goes up to the top and claims 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:08.099 the title. which makes Sol Ruka the new women's 00:23:08.099 --> 00:23:11.759 North American champion which means I'm well 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:14.259 I don't know what that means for her tag team 00:23:14.259 --> 00:23:18.039 with Zarya but at some point we could see both 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.880 of those two in a tag match too and it could 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.460 be a case of we see Sol Ruka with a double title 00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:32.200 as a single and a tag team specialist. I really 00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.420 enjoyed this match. It was very, very flowing. 00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:37.099 I don't feel that I've given it the justice I 00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:39.140 need to, but it was an incredible match. And 00:23:39.140 --> 00:23:42.200 if you get an opportunity to watch it again, 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.160 go ahead and do it. It is really, really, really 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:52.180 good. After we move from that incredible Women's 00:23:52.180 --> 00:23:54.720 North Americans Championship match, we are shown 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:59.500 a backlash VT. Backlash this year is being held 00:23:59.500 --> 00:24:04.259 in St. Louis, Missouri which is going to be a 00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:07.819 fun event and we get to deal with all the breakdowns 00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:10.680 from these WrestleMania matches which we'll be 00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.400 bringing to you in the next day or two once we 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.680 finished recording and editing them as we speak. 00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:23.339 We then move on to find out that Gigi Doland 00:24:23.339 --> 00:24:26.400 and Tatum Paxton earned a chance to have their 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:29.740 tag title matches and we see them backstage with 00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:31.619 Sarah Schreiber where they say they're really, 00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:34.960 really looking forward to taking on the tag champions 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:39.640 whether it be Lyra, Vaqueria and Bailey or Liv 00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:48.660 Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. We will find out 00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:51.859 following their match at WrestleMania to which 00:24:51.859 --> 00:24:56.099 one they find. We then get a little D 'Angelo 00:24:56.099 --> 00:24:58.980 family VT about the members and their history, 00:24:59.380 --> 00:25:03.819 a little dark state VT showing us what they've 00:25:03.819 --> 00:25:06.980 been doing since they arrived in NXT, which is 00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:09.880 basically just beating up as many people as they 00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:15.900 possibly can. Which is always interesting. So 00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:21.700 we then move from there into a history of John 00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:27.619 Cena VT while that kind of starting off from 00:25:27.619 --> 00:25:32.059 the ruthless aggression all the way through to 00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:36.180 his final WrestleMania appearance, which we have 00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:41.099 on Sunday evening, I believe it is to finish 00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:47.930 off the WrestleMania weekend. Our next match 00:25:47.930 --> 00:25:52.569 is one of the very few non -title matches on 00:25:52.569 --> 00:25:57.250 this card, and that is the D 'Angelo family versus 00:25:57.250 --> 00:26:04.589 Dark State. Now, before Dark State get into the 00:26:04.589 --> 00:26:07.150 ring like we've had with the first two matches, 00:26:07.410 --> 00:26:10.190 it seems to be a common theme on the stand and 00:26:10.190 --> 00:26:13.049 deliver, but the D 'Angelo family run at them 00:26:13.049 --> 00:26:18.220 and meet them on the ramp. Dark State surround 00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:20.279 Tony D 'Angelo in the center of the ring and 00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:23.420 he goes to town. It's a double team on Cut the 00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:29.200 James and the bell finally rings. Lucca Crucifino 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:31.759 taking out Dark State until Osiris takes him 00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:35.279 out off the apron and Dion Lennox spears Lucca 00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:38.220 Crucifino from the announce table to the apron 00:26:38.220 --> 00:26:41.920 and back again and then throws Lucca Crucifino 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.140 into the steel girders that make up the ring. 00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:50.539 Dark State really came into this with no intentions 00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:54.359 of taking it easy on the D 'Angelo family. They 00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:59.559 want to cause as much pain as they possibly can. 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.819 And to be fair, we can't blame them. They've 00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:05.640 come in here for that exact reason. They just 00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:08.779 want to come and kick ass and very much enjoying 00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:13.779 what they've been doing so far. It's been an 00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:16.759 interesting one. We see Osiris throwing Luka 00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:21.019 Crucifino across the ring. Luka Crucifino is 00:27:21.019 --> 00:27:23.240 getting absolutely destroyed by Dark State. It's 00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.400 been easy for them to be able to get him in the 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:29.539 positions they have. Saekwon sugars is fast and 00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:33.279 Luka Crucifino powers through a move into a powerbomb. 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.940 Tony D 'Angelo wants back in but he drops down 00:27:36.940 --> 00:27:39.400 off the apron to take out Cutler James who's 00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:43.500 creeping up on Stacks and Stacks goes in instead 00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:48.519 and starts laying the stacketh down. You'll have 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.099 to excuse that one, that was a rather bad pun. 00:27:54.119 --> 00:28:00.519 Could not be resisted. Stacks manages to take 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:04.519 out Saekwon sugars and on the outside and Osiris 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:08.099 takes him out And basically spears him into the 00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:11.619 ring and then throws him in after throwing him 00:28:11.619 --> 00:28:15.119 into timekeeping There's just a lot of very brutal 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.359 power moves going on here dark state have really 00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:25.539 really sort of Just taking it up a notch here 00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:29.420 We see Stax taking a beating from Theon Lennox 00:28:29.420 --> 00:28:33.319 after he eats a Spine Buster and then eats a 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:36.220 two count for it. Tony D 'Angelo looks like he's 00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:38.819 leaving Stax to learn a lesson here. A few jumps, 00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:42.279 the tag, and Stax drops a Saquon Sugars with 00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:46.900 a massive, massive running knee. To the point 00:28:46.900 --> 00:28:49.960 where Tony D 'Angelo gets into the ring, he does 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.660 clear house. There's a couple of big power slams, 00:28:52.819 --> 00:28:58.890 Spine Buster, a suplex, and Saquon Sugars. So 00:28:58.890 --> 00:29:02.369 and Osiris beyond Lennox breaks up the two count 00:29:02.369 --> 00:29:06.730 on this But that Luca crucifino has locked in 00:29:06.730 --> 00:29:10.029 Luca crucifino then suplexes Saquon sugars and 00:29:10.029 --> 00:29:12.730 himself out of the ring as he gets dragged over 00:29:12.730 --> 00:29:16.269 to these were big big bombs that were being hit 00:29:16.269 --> 00:29:25.180 Which was a really really mental. Dion Lennox 00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:29.019 hits a jackhammer on Tony D 'Angelo for a two 00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:33.279 count. There's a triple team on Tony D 'Angelo 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.519 and Stax and Luca Crucifino both jump in at two 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:42.440 to save them. There was then a like a hands down 00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:44.680 brawl. It's three v three. They're staring each 00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:49.920 other down in the ring and as soon as they kind 00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.599 of So they keep looking each other down. We know 00:29:53.599 --> 00:30:00.119 it's going off and off it goes And it goes pretty 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:06.660 much off the way we'd expect it to be fair Where 00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:09.200 all three of them all six of them sorry just 00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:12.000 stood in the middle of the ring just throwing 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:16.779 absolute bombs Luca Crucifino runs into the turnbuckle, 00:30:16.779 --> 00:30:19.680 gets run into a turnbuckle by Cutler James. Rizzo 00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:22.859 hits him with a cross body off the outside and 00:30:22.859 --> 00:30:27.099 Tony D 'Angelo gets a two count on Osiris. So 00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:31.019 lots and lots and lots of near falls in this 00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:37.039 match. Lots of epic moments. So Stacks comes 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.539 back into the ring with a crowbar and offers 00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:42.160 it to Tony D 'Angelo who basically says, I don't 00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.730 need that. Now we're gonna do this the right 00:30:44.730 --> 00:30:48.509 way And it looked like stacks was gonna hit Tony 00:30:48.509 --> 00:30:51.630 with the with the crossbar when only got grabbed 00:30:51.630 --> 00:30:55.869 by member of dark state But it did not happen 00:30:55.869 --> 00:31:00.789 and we ended up seeing backs give the crowbar 00:31:00.789 --> 00:31:05.650 back to the referee and then basically turning 00:31:05.650 --> 00:31:13.519 round and sticking his His foot square into the 00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:22.059 bollocks of Tony D 'Angelo. Which, yeah, no. 00:31:22.380 --> 00:31:24.279 This was definitely not the way it was gonna 00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:29.160 go. After that kick, Dark State put in their 00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:33.359 final nail of the coffin with that sort of pop 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.440 -up power slam that they initiate, and that ended 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:44.049 up with Dark State hitting the one, two, on Tony 00:31:44.049 --> 00:31:47.849 D 'Angelo and not only did the D 'Angelo family 00:31:47.849 --> 00:31:53.650 lose this match, they also lost stacks in the 00:31:53.650 --> 00:31:59.349 process. Now that could be a big, big thing for 00:31:59.349 --> 00:32:02.349 the D 'Angelo family and that is probably gonna 00:32:02.349 --> 00:32:06.869 shock, well it did shock the entire NXT universe 00:32:06.869 --> 00:32:11.089 when it happened. We will find out on Tuesday 00:32:11.089 --> 00:32:18.710 though what happens more with that one. We then 00:32:18.710 --> 00:32:21.170 get a little backstage segment with Sarah Schreiber 00:32:21.170 --> 00:32:24.029 talking to Hank and Tank about how happy they 00:32:24.029 --> 00:32:27.250 are to finally have had their hands on Tag Team 00:32:27.250 --> 00:32:31.650 Gold and both Hank and Tank are absolutely ecstatic 00:32:31.650 --> 00:32:33.950 saying that you know they've been working so 00:32:33.950 --> 00:32:36.029 hard trying to learn the best they can and trying 00:32:36.029 --> 00:32:38.839 to get better. That it the you know, they're 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:41.119 amazed they finally managed to get their hands 00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:45.680 on You know those tag team titles and it was 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.940 a hell of a match against Fraxium and they they 00:32:47.940 --> 00:32:50.200 really really enjoyed themselves and it's gonna 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.700 be a For me, it's gonna be interesting to see 00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:54.880 where this goes because I did not expect this 00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:57.420 to happen But I did very much enjoy watching 00:32:57.420 --> 00:33:01.480 it happens and that the opening to this to this 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:06.000 Pay -per -view was incredible. It's not pay -per 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.880 -view anymore as it's a PLE. Yeah, absolutely. 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:17.019 I'll be dozy. I loved it. We then end up with 00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:20.839 our next match, which is for the NXT Women's 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:27.640 title. This is a fatal four way. And yeah, we 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:32.660 are getting there. So this one was a fatal four 00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:35.779 way between Jordan grace Jada Parker Stephanie 00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:41.420 Baker and Julia and We have a little bit of information 00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:45.039 about each person that comes into the ring So 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:49.480 this is Julia's sixth career NXT Championship 00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:53.259 match and her first match since she lost her 00:33:53.259 --> 00:33:58.970 title to Stephanie Baker at Roadblock This is 00:33:58.970 --> 00:34:03.410 Jada Parker's third NXT Championship match and 00:34:03.410 --> 00:34:07.029 her last match was a no -content against Jordan 00:34:07.029 --> 00:34:11.809 Grace. Jordan Grace is also in this match and 00:34:11.809 --> 00:34:16.230 she is a three -time TNA Knockouts champion and 00:34:16.230 --> 00:34:20.590 so far in her time in NXT she has not been pinned 00:34:20.590 --> 00:34:27.059 yet. But this is her first NXT title match and 00:34:27.059 --> 00:34:31.360 anything could happen. Then finally, our champion 00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:36.579 Stephanie Vaker. She spent 39 days as the NXT 00:34:36.579 --> 00:34:39.880 Women's Champion and she made history at roadblock 00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:43.659 by becoming the first double NXT champion in 00:34:43.659 --> 00:34:46.960 singles titles. When she held both the North 00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.860 American title that she took from Fallon Henley 00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:55.019 and the women's NXT title that she beat Julia 00:34:55.019 --> 00:35:00.480 for. So been some pretty impressive matches so 00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.119 far. And we are going to jump into this one. 00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:09.539 It starts off with Jordan Grace throwing Stephanie 00:35:09.539 --> 00:35:13.719 out of the ring as Julia throws out Jada Parker. 00:35:14.460 --> 00:35:19.119 Jada Parker then gets a two count on Julia. And 00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:25.070 we then see a lot of Stephanie Vacar and Julia 00:35:25.070 --> 00:35:28.389 teaming up to take out Jada Parker. We end up 00:35:28.389 --> 00:35:31.090 seeing Stephanie Vacar rolling Julia up for no 00:35:31.090 --> 00:35:32.829 count and they're both very much looking at each 00:35:32.829 --> 00:35:35.150 other like, okay, is this the way it's gonna 00:35:35.150 --> 00:35:39.050 go? We used to be friends and now we're not. 00:35:39.590 --> 00:35:41.610 If that's the way you wanna play this, then that's 00:35:41.610 --> 00:35:45.570 fine. So Stephanie Vacar and Julia take down 00:35:45.570 --> 00:35:54.630 Jordan Grace and get in a hit to the face. Jada 00:35:54.630 --> 00:35:57.690 Parker pulls Julia out of the ring and Jordan 00:35:57.690 --> 00:36:01.630 Grace takes out Jada Parker's legs and runs through 00:36:01.630 --> 00:36:04.329 a clothesline attempt like completely no sells 00:36:04.329 --> 00:36:07.610 it. There is no way in hell that clothesline 00:36:07.610 --> 00:36:11.710 attempt has been sold and Jordan Grace just shrugged 00:36:11.710 --> 00:36:18.190 it off like it was a weak -wristed, limped security 00:36:18.190 --> 00:36:22.610 guard trying to hold her back. and it did not 00:36:22.610 --> 00:36:26.489 work. We had another roll up from Stephanie Viqueur 00:36:26.489 --> 00:36:31.710 on Jordan Grace for two and then she rolls around 00:36:31.710 --> 00:36:34.349 Jordan Grace for a two count roll up a third 00:36:34.349 --> 00:36:37.010 time and then we end up with a back suplex on 00:36:37.010 --> 00:36:40.230 Jordan Grace while Jada Parker breaks it up and 00:36:40.230 --> 00:36:43.690 throws Stephanie Viqueur out of the ring which 00:36:43.690 --> 00:36:46.190 means we get a little bit of action between Jada 00:36:46.190 --> 00:36:52.480 Parker and Jordan Grace and they both make a 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.920 move up on Julia. Julia kicks Jada Parker in 00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:59.039 the face instead with Julia then teeing off on 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:02.619 Jada Parker and getting in a running knee for 00:37:02.619 --> 00:37:07.260 a two count. Jada Parker then slapped the absolute 00:37:07.260 --> 00:37:11.780 lips off the face of Stephanie Vacar and Stephanie 00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:15.940 Vacar and Julia set up a superplex and Jordan 00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:19.500 Grace ends up sneaking underneath both Julia 00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:25.960 and Stephanie while Jada Parker hits the blockbuster 00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:29.840 off the top rope, dropping all three women. And 00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:31.940 to be fair, I think Jada Parker ate more of her 00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:34.159 own blockbuster than the rest of them did because 00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.139 she was also seemed to be struggling to get back 00:37:37.139 --> 00:37:42.420 up off of the floor. Jordan Grace at this point 00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:44.699 takes it as an opportunity to try and get a cheeky 00:37:44.699 --> 00:37:47.019 cover in it and gets a two count off all three 00:37:47.019 --> 00:37:50.559 women lying on the floor. Wasn't quite enough 00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.139 to try and finish it and I don't think they were 00:37:53.139 --> 00:37:57.059 gonna give this match to Jordan Grace considering 00:37:57.059 --> 00:38:01.099 how long she's been in the promotion. I can't 00:38:01.099 --> 00:38:04.960 really see them giving her the promotion's biggest 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:11.239 title in her first proper pay -per -view. But 00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:16.699 we have seen stranger things happen in the WWE 00:38:16.699 --> 00:38:19.920 Universe and I'm sure over the course of WrestleMania 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:24.340 weekend, we will see some more strange things 00:38:24.340 --> 00:38:31.320 happen. So this match goes on and my list of 00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:35.409 moves just gets bigger and bigger. With Julia 00:38:35.409 --> 00:38:38.150 hitting a running knee on Stephanie Baker and 00:38:38.150 --> 00:38:40.429 then jumping up for a head scissors and Julia 00:38:40.429 --> 00:38:45.670 and Jada Parker. Jordan Grace hits a German suplex 00:38:45.670 --> 00:38:49.070 with a Northern Lights twist on Jada Parker and 00:38:49.070 --> 00:38:53.329 Julia. Jada Parker triple stacks everyone in 00:38:53.329 --> 00:38:56.789 the corner and then jumps up to bottom drop through 00:38:56.789 --> 00:39:00.309 them. And then a sit down power bomb on Stephanie 00:39:00.309 --> 00:39:04.480 Baker for two. We end up with Jordan Grace in 00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.559 an ankle hold by Jada Parker who gets put in 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.239 an octopus hold by Julia while Stephanie Vacar 00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:13.099 locked in a cross face arched and Jordan Grace 00:39:13.099 --> 00:39:17.679 in a triple submission. We then see Stephanie 00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:20.980 Vacar hit that dangerous dragon screw knee drag 00:39:20.980 --> 00:39:24.199 on Julia for a two count and a devil's kiss on 00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:28.340 both Julia and Jada Parker and a suplex and a 00:39:28.340 --> 00:39:32.889 devil's kiss on Jordan Grace. Julia counters 00:39:32.889 --> 00:39:37.210 the SVB for a backslide for a two count and then 00:39:37.210 --> 00:39:40.750 throws Stephanie Verker at the ring and Jordan 00:39:40.750 --> 00:39:44.789 Grace hits a back face and goes beast mode while 00:39:44.789 --> 00:39:49.389 Jada Parker hips a notic. Julia rolls up Jada 00:39:49.389 --> 00:39:52.989 Parker for a two count and then Stephanie Verker 00:39:52.989 --> 00:39:59.170 hits spinal tap and pins. on Julia and then hits 00:39:59.170 --> 00:40:06.869 an SVB on Jada Parker for the 1 -2 -3 to retain 00:40:06.869 --> 00:40:13.929 the Women's NXT Championship. I mean, this was 00:40:13.929 --> 00:40:16.769 an incredible match. Again, I don't think I've 00:40:16.769 --> 00:40:19.329 done it as much justice as I possibly could have, 00:40:19.329 --> 00:40:22.730 but it was an incredible, incredible match and 00:40:22.730 --> 00:40:27.530 I really do not think that the women who participated 00:40:27.530 --> 00:40:30.429 in this event are going to be able to give it 00:40:30.429 --> 00:40:36.030 any more than they already have. And it was a 00:40:36.030 --> 00:40:41.510 fantastic, fantastic match. We then move into 00:40:41.510 --> 00:40:44.349 a little backstage segment where we've got Alexis 00:40:44.349 --> 00:40:49.010 King still looking for his heritage cup. And 00:40:49.010 --> 00:40:52.960 we see Stacks leaving the building. With Izzy 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:56.219 Dame and Luca Crucifino chasing after him saying, 00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:57.860 you know, what are you doing man? What happened? 00:40:59.099 --> 00:41:00.739 At which point Stacks says look, I'll tell you 00:41:00.739 --> 00:41:03.159 more on Tuesday. Keep your phone close. See you 00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:08.019 later. So we've got a lot of stuff coming on 00:41:08.019 --> 00:41:11.920 Tuesday for that section, but all we have left 00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:17.119 to come for tonight is our main event of the 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:20.489 evening and This, ladies and gentlemen, is a 00:41:20.489 --> 00:41:24.150 triple threat for the men's NXT Championship. 00:41:25.030 --> 00:41:27.329 So ladies and gentlemen, here you have it, the 00:41:27.329 --> 00:41:30.510 triple threat for the NXT World Championship 00:41:30.510 --> 00:41:33.769 between Trick Williams, Javon Evans, and Ober 00:41:33.769 --> 00:41:39.349 Femi, who is the current title holder. So we 00:41:39.349 --> 00:41:41.590 are informed into this one that Ober Femi has 00:41:41.590 --> 00:41:43.949 never lost a triple threat match and actually 00:41:43.949 --> 00:41:47.190 won his triple threat. his title in a triple 00:41:47.190 --> 00:41:53.909 threat match between Eddie Thorpe and Tripp Williams. 00:41:55.130 --> 00:41:57.070 We're told that Tripp Williams is a two time 00:41:57.070 --> 00:41:59.829 NXT title holder and his fourth time challenging 00:41:59.829 --> 00:42:04.269 for the title. And this time last year, he beat 00:42:04.269 --> 00:42:07.929 Carmelo Hayes who was this year's Andre the giant 00:42:07.929 --> 00:42:12.670 bottle Royale winner. So Carmelo Hayes has gone 00:42:12.670 --> 00:42:15.369 a long way for challenging for the NXT title 00:42:15.369 --> 00:42:18.289 to being a Andre the Giant Battle Royale winner 00:42:18.289 --> 00:42:23.289 and All of us at finishism factions wish Carmelo 00:42:23.289 --> 00:42:28.329 Hayes the best in his push with that Hoping that 00:42:28.329 --> 00:42:30.710 he gets one because of course the last handful 00:42:30.710 --> 00:42:34.250 of people to win the Andre the Giant Battle Memorial 00:42:34.250 --> 00:42:37.590 Royale haven't actually done too much not many 00:42:37.590 --> 00:42:41.139 of them from the last 10 years left in the company. 00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:45.079 So Javon Evans is seeking to become the youngest 00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:50.519 ever NXT WWE champion at 20 years of age. And 00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:55.079 Ober Femi has been champion for 102 days at the 00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:59.360 time of this match. Now at the start of the match, 00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:01.679 both Ober Femi and Trick Williams both go for 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:04.420 Javon Evans, but he moves up the way and Javon 00:43:04.420 --> 00:43:08.320 All Evans is all over both of them. Over Femi 00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:10.320 takes down Trick Williams and Javon Evans with 00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:13.559 a double clothesline. Javon Evans takes over 00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:17.699 Femi out of the ring and Trick Williams and Javon 00:43:17.699 --> 00:43:21.860 Evans go for it. We see Javon Evans baseball 00:43:21.860 --> 00:43:24.159 slide over Femi as he tries to get back in the 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:26.219 ring and then go back to roll up Trick Williams 00:43:26.219 --> 00:43:31.280 for a two count. You know, he starts off the 00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:35.659 original, was it the young OG against bouncy. 00:43:35.929 --> 00:43:41.190 very quickly and it only gets more and increasingly 00:43:41.190 --> 00:43:45.349 prolific as he comes through the match. We do 00:43:45.349 --> 00:43:47.809 see Javon Evans counter a Trick Williams uppercut 00:43:47.809 --> 00:43:51.409 into a backslide that goes for a two count. Both 00:43:51.409 --> 00:43:53.550 decide to try a big boot and drop each other 00:43:53.550 --> 00:43:56.769 in the middle of the ring and both bring themselves 00:43:56.769 --> 00:44:00.420 back up with a kip up. Oba Femi then slow and 00:44:00.420 --> 00:44:04.219 drops both of them and afterwards using Javon 00:44:04.219 --> 00:44:08.920 Evans as a battering ram. We get Oba Femi perform 00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:11.320 a gut buster on Trick Williams for a two count 00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:14.739 after he got his knees up for a splash off the 00:44:14.739 --> 00:44:19.480 top rope by Trick Williams. Oba Femi gets Trick 00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:21.900 Williams up into a powerbomb position and Javon 00:44:21.900 --> 00:44:27.199 Evans jumps over the top of the two of them. 00:44:27.449 --> 00:44:31.929 Drops trick Williams and gets a roll -up on him. 00:44:32.429 --> 00:44:35.170 Oh Sorry drops trick Williams over family and 00:44:35.170 --> 00:44:38.949 gets the roll -up on trick Williams He then chops 00:44:38.949 --> 00:44:42.510 trick again and trick drops back down Trick Williams 00:44:42.510 --> 00:44:47.230 goes on for a two count on Javon Evans We then 00:44:47.230 --> 00:44:50.530 get trick Williams pop a hurricane Rana on over 00:44:50.530 --> 00:44:53.769 Femi and a faceplant and he gets Javon Evans 00:44:53.769 --> 00:44:58.539 in a two count A neck breaker is hit on Oberfemi 00:44:58.539 --> 00:45:02.340 from Trick Williams as he backs away from Javon 00:45:02.340 --> 00:45:04.699 Evans and then Trick Williams gets a two count 00:45:04.699 --> 00:45:10.239 on Javon Evans and Oberfemi breaks it up. So, 00:45:11.619 --> 00:45:15.840 there's just an awful lot of power plays. Javon 00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:17.699 Evans and Trick Williams are trying to use their 00:45:17.699 --> 00:45:20.719 agility to get around them. Oberfemi is not having 00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:24.500 any of it. You know, Javon Evans super kicks 00:45:24.500 --> 00:45:30.460 over Femi and Tripp Williams drops Javon Evans 00:45:30.460 --> 00:45:34.039 and then over Femi hits a double spine buster 00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:37.460 on both men. Tripp Williams gets a two count 00:45:37.460 --> 00:45:40.280 roll up on over Femi and Javon Evans gets a two 00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:43.619 count roll up on Tripp Williams and then Javon 00:45:43.619 --> 00:45:48.219 Evans goes over Femi to knock Tripp Williams 00:45:48.219 --> 00:45:55.670 back into the mat. This was a very, very intense 00:45:55.670 --> 00:45:59.710 match. We see Javon Evans hit cutters on Oberfemi 00:45:59.710 --> 00:46:05.949 as reversals. Oberfemi kicks out of a roll -up 00:46:05.949 --> 00:46:11.190 and goes for a springboard. Oberfemi, as Javon 00:46:11.190 --> 00:46:13.750 Evans goes for the springboard, Oberfemi catches 00:46:13.750 --> 00:46:17.230 him and Javon Evans hits a suplex neck breaker. 00:46:20.090 --> 00:46:24.360 This all eventually ends up with Trick Williams 00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:27.179 putting Oberfemi through the announce table with 00:46:27.179 --> 00:46:33.219 a rock bottom after Oberfemi has hit a fall from 00:46:33.219 --> 00:46:37.699 grace on Jovan Evans but gets countered and thrown 00:46:37.699 --> 00:46:41.400 into the barricade before being dumped into timekeeping. 00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:44.880 Jovan Evans takes some serious punishment and 00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:49.489 gets battered off everything. At one point the 00:46:49.489 --> 00:46:52.550 ref Oberfemi grabs hold of the referee trying 00:46:52.550 --> 00:46:55.090 to stop him from getting back in for a count 00:46:55.090 --> 00:46:58.730 and after he'd been taken out by Tripp Williams 00:46:58.730 --> 00:47:02.730 on the outside and the ref kicks Oberfemi in 00:47:02.730 --> 00:47:06.030 the face slides back in to the ring to get a 00:47:06.030 --> 00:47:09.730 two count. We then end up with Oberfemi and Tripp 00:47:09.730 --> 00:47:11.929 Williams throwing bombs in the middle of the 00:47:11.929 --> 00:47:14.289 ring and Javon Evans takes them both out with 00:47:14.289 --> 00:47:18.059 a double springboard cutter He goes for a moonsault 00:47:18.059 --> 00:47:22.019 on Oberfemi as Trick Williams hits Trick Shot 00:47:22.019 --> 00:47:26.940 on Javon Evans and then Oberfemi hits fall from 00:47:26.940 --> 00:47:30.760 Grace onto Javon Evans and then fall from Grace 00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:35.219 onto Trick Williams and a second fall from Grace 00:47:35.219 --> 00:47:38.159 onto Javon Evans for Oberfemi to get the three 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:44.099 count to retain his NXT title and for us to finish 00:47:44.099 --> 00:47:48.420 NXT Same way as we started it with the ruler 00:47:48.420 --> 00:47:53.340 ruling the roost And with that that is the end 00:47:53.340 --> 00:47:56.219 of our stand and deliver coverage. I will be 00:47:56.219 --> 00:48:00.480 back with Adam covering WrestleMania night one 00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:04.219 very very soon But until then guys remember to 00:48:04.219 --> 00:48:05.960 always follow the buzzards
