00:20and his opponent
00:22Cedric Alexander
00:30Cleveland will be the center of the WWE universe starting next Friday August 2nd
00:35the weekend starts with Damian Priest live followed by SummerSlam kickoff and Smackdown
00:40at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Sami Zayn and friends do Cleveland at the Agoura Theater
00:44wrapped from a loaded SummerSlam Friday and on Saturday Undertaker's critically acclaimed
00:49One Dead Man show takes the stage at Agoura in the afternoon. SummerSlam coverage begins
00:53at 4 p.m eastern at Cleveland Brown Stadium all the way through to SummerSlam post-show
00:57all streaming on Peacock. We are here live tonight and for Cedric Alexander,
01:04Trick Williams these two started the night in each other's face and very quickly
01:11find themselves here one-on-one. Yeah Cedric Alexander was talking about the emotions
01:16of Trick Williams and I'm gonna tell you right now this is this is Trick Williams time
01:22this is this is a ball game for Cedric Alexander.
01:27Big Alexander realize that look NXT is the land of opportunities how massive of one though
01:32is this for someone like Cedric Alexander. Moment for Cedric Alexander stepping right
01:38back into the spotlight but is this too big of a moment because once upon a time Cedric
01:44Alexander had the height of one of this young man right here in the middle of this ring.
01:50Alexander coming on NXT can he beat a former champion the man who's been the face of this
01:54brand it was Alexander who's trying to give a little bit of friendly advice to Trick Williams.
02:06Williams able to navigate his way back to his feet Alexander putting him right back down with
02:10the mat. That's what you want to say about Cedric he's a hell of a challenger very smooth individual.
02:17For Cedric Alexander he's a superstar. That's all man that's all man dog. He's a superstar who last
02:25week tried to do it with his words but now he's trying to almost set an example inside the ring
02:30and take it to try to teach Trick a lesson here tonight and Alexander right on top of
02:36Williams and Cedric right does Trick's emotions get the best of him. He's not the only one to say
02:43that but he just got dropped. It's very emotional Vic but you have to be emotional in this business
02:50especially if you're playing on working at that top level being on that top shelf like Trick
02:55Williams. Oh yes man. I could do this all day long. I'm glad you bring that up as Williams now
02:59the one who's talking a little bit of smack do you like the statement from Trick then that he
03:03will fight anyone anywhere on his way back to the NXT title. That's what I was talking about Vic.
03:09We're gonna lose man. You gotta you gotta know just how good you really are in that ring. That's
03:15what Trick is trying to achieve. This place coming unglued right now with Williams. Alexander going
03:21up going over trying to get back to his feet. Trick Williams though not going to play that
03:25game. Alexander trying to roll through was able to catch Williams for a moment and kick out.
03:30And then right back up right back down goes Alexander what a drop kick. That's what I'm
03:35talking about. Trick Williams. Like I said once upon a time I said with Alexander right here in
03:39NXT all these people were chanting his name and now they're talking about Trick Williams. That's
03:44got to be perfect. Oh yes. That's just how fast Alexander can answer right back and look while
03:51we say there's a newfound look in the eyes of Trick Williams same can be said for his opponent
03:56said Alexander who just drove Williams spine first into the mat. Where steel meets wood the hardest
04:04part of the ring and not to be outdone he does the second time. Can Trick get back in this matchup
04:12because Cedric is in full control. Trick Williams now starting to get a little bit of life back
04:18into this match because he has been battling to try to get back to his feet in this matchup
04:23with Cedric Alexander. And this has been physical between these two. Look Alexander is one singles
04:31goal he's one tackled into WWE. He knows what it's like to go through those ups and downs of a career.
04:37He tried to give some advice to Trick. Didn't want to hear it last week. Didn't want to hear it again tonight.
04:43That has led to this matchup but for Trick Williams who is consistently thinking about
04:49the NXT back championship. How difficult is that path back to the top? Very very difficult Vic
04:56because you find yourself getting so close to the top and being knocked back down. You don't
05:00want to be called a journeyman or that gatekeeper in this business. You never want that.
05:09Williams answering back. Big shot by Alexander. The thing about Alexander you can tell the
05:16maturity in this guy. You can see he's packed on about 10 pounds of solid muscle and he's keeping
05:22Trick real close to the body. One of the premier high flyers once upon a time.
05:29Doesn't matter how much muscle you had with a right hand like that from Williams. Still very
05:34quick though Vic. Still very very quick. That's a great point he has not lost a step in Cedric
05:39Alexander who just got planted by Williams.
05:58Turn Alexander inside out but listen to the NXT universe.
06:09Beautiful counter by Alexander. Alexander also counter right into a pretty predicament
06:13and a kick out by Williams. What a matchup this has been. What a test this has been for
06:17Trick Williams but also what an opportunity for Cedric Alexander. Like Cedric you feel
06:22it slipping away and he's trying to get a pitfall by it. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
06:29Williams kicked out.
06:34Williams can't even open his eyes. Take another look and this goes back to that extra muscle,
06:40that extra strength that Alexander is at. Yeah but right there you can show the resilience of
06:46one Trick Williams to kick out of that right there. All his feet but he's back up and running.
06:52Here are side kicks from Williams.
06:56Trick who said his goal is the NXT championship to put it around his waist for a second time.
07:02He knows the path is going to be long. The journey is going to be difficult. It's not
07:06going to be easy Vic. It's not going to be easy because right now in NXT you got the best talent
07:13going. Alexander measuring. Oh got caught.
07:20And another near fall. There was not a lot on that kick out from Cedric Alexander. Cedric's back for
07:27a reason Vic. He's not just going to go down that easy. You're going to have to you're going to have
07:31to make him stay down Vic. You have to separate him from his senses here tonight. So much has been
07:38taken out of both these superstars. He's looking for that knee. Got counted. Alexander into the
07:42cover. No, no, no. That kick right to the face will stop anyone. Now what's Alexander thinking?
07:52It's a different Cedric. Into the cover. Different Cedric Alexander right here Vic.
07:56And look at Alexander quickly going right into the submission. Williams trying to lock his hands.
08:01Can't break his grip. Alexander now trying to hyperextend that elbow. Trick shifting his weight.
08:06Shoulders down. Alexander having to relinquish the hold and kick out.
08:09And Cedric it definitely has gone into his trick bag. Plan A maybe has not working. Plan B may not
08:15be working. There's a trick shot for Trick Williams. Wow. Here's your winner Trick Williams.
08:32Trick has done it. Playing game. Trick wants his NXT championship back.
08:44Cedric Alexander pulled out all the stops as you noted Booker throughout this matchup.
08:49Was even looking for a submission. In the end it was Williams who was able to measure
08:55Alexander for that trick shot. And no matter the advice
09:01for Trick Williams. It's a nice show of sportsmanship
09:05to a man that has been trying to lend out a helping hand.
09:17NXT Universe rising to their feet for Trick Williams.
09:24Oh. That's Pete Dunne. We saw these two earlier in the locker room.
09:38What has gotten in to Dunne. That is it. Come on. Where's the official?
09:55Oh.
10:16Dunne may have just figured it out for Trick.
10:20I can't stop talking. Maybe you don't have anything good to say. Nothing good to say.
10:27You want two minutes with Ava? Sorry. Stevie just took up all her time because she doesn't shut up.
10:31That's a lie. But what can I do for you champ?
10:33Champ? It's NXT champion Ethan Page. What can I do for you?
10:37I'm just trying to get rid of that pest Oro Mensah.
10:40I get it. Don't you worry about Oro.
10:42Everyone's seen you beat Dante. No one's seen the other thing.
10:44How could you just lie to the champions? Everyone is watching NXT.
10:49Trending on Twitter. Top five in cable. The world.
10:52The world. The world.
10:55What I'm trying to say is, is you should just, you should be lucky that you're champion.
10:59You think I'm lucky? We, look, we are lucky.
11:03Everyone, we're lucky that you're champion NXT. That's what I'm saying.
11:08What Stone is trying to say is, could you imagine if Oro Mensah was NXT champion?
11:12Oro is the champion. It wasn't even a match.
11:15Look, I will tell Ava that you said thank you. I'll take care of it.
11:20And I will double thank Ava for that, Mr. Page. Don't worry. Don't worry about him.
11:24What is wrong with you?
11:26You just made the champion of the champions.
11:37The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
11:42Introducing first, the team of Carmen Petrovic and Sol Ruka.
11:49An altercation of sorts has led to this.
11:53The women's division takes center stage with tag team action.

12:34Here, you're all ready to go.
12:36Thank you. Did you see what Tatum posted?
12:40Tatum posted?
12:41Yeah.
12:43Is that supposed to be me?
12:45What is that all about?
12:47I wish I knew, but that girl was starting to creep me out.
12:50So creepy.
12:52Oh my God.
12:52Are you okay?
12:53Yeah.
12:54What happened?
12:55Can y'all show me where medical is, please?
12:57Please help me out.
12:57Thank you.
12:58Who did this?
12:58Thank you.
12:59Did Oral do this?
13:02I'm gonna be all right.
13:06Unbelievable.
13:06What in the world is going on as tag team action here live?
13:11Legend, Jackson, Petrovic, and Ruka.
13:14Talking about the altercation between these four women earlier tonight has led to this
13:18tag team matchup.
13:19But look, we talked about the animosity earlier, right, Murat?
13:21Yes, yes.
13:22Because the Great American Bash is happening on SyFy next week.
13:25The entire roster wants to be a part of that two-week special.
13:29Not just the Great American Bash, by the way, but also Monday Night Raw the next two weeks
13:32on SyFy.
13:33Everybody's looking to get a piece of the action, man.
13:35I'm talking about champagne, witches, caviar, dreams, man.
13:40Oh, beautiful, beautiful salt.
13:42Off the moonsault, into it, and a kick.
13:44I like what you just did there, by the way.
13:46Did you see that?
13:46So effortless.
13:47I'm gonna steal that, by the way.
13:47So effortless right there by So Effortless.
13:49I do want to ask you this though, Jeff.
13:50We've heard a lot from Jane and Fallon Henry.
13:54When is a rookie not a rookie?
13:57In your two-time world fame of two.
13:59That's the state of mind, really, Vic.
14:00I mean, because you look at somebody like, just say, for instance, Tiffany Strand, who's
14:03been around for a short amount of time.
14:05You look at somebody like Roxanne Moran, who's a pride, she's at such a young age, Vic.
14:10Like I said, that's the state of mind, man.
14:12I take a look at Saul Rupert, someone who stole the show at Battleground in Vegas.
14:15Exactly my point.
14:16Take a look at Lola Vice, the breakout queen.
14:18Exactly my point.
14:18Queen of the underground.
14:19Now you're kidding me.
14:20Now you're kidding me.
14:20Taking the cover, goes Jakarta.
14:22Kick down, take a look at Carmen Petschman, recently victorious on the countdown to Heat
14:25Wave in Toronto.
14:25You know what?
14:26You know what?
14:27You just answered your own damn question.
14:28Well, then I want to say to you, so you don't agree with J.C. Chang.
14:32What do you mean?
14:33That they are rookies.
14:34You disagree with that.
14:35No, I said it's the state of mind.
14:36I said it's the state of mind.
14:37Sometimes you are a rookie.
14:39Sometimes you just feel like a rookie.
14:40Sometimes you're not.
14:42You should run for mayor again.
14:43There's a nice standing switch there by Saul Rupert.
14:45Lash Legend back in control.
14:47All four of these women have really talked a big game.
14:50Who's going to step up here tonight?
14:51Look at that powerbomb.
14:52Nice catch by Rupert into a pin.
14:54And Lash having to power out.
14:57And now Lash right back in, swinging a miss on Saul Rupert.
15:00And look, Lash Jakarta, obvious advantage.
15:03Teamed longer, have known each other, obviously much better than their opponents.
15:07I think, you know, not just that, Lash Legend has been dominant as of late, Vic.
15:13Oh!
15:14She's in there with somebody who, I'm going to say, just outright just good.
15:18Saul Rupert's definitely just good.
15:21One at a time.
15:22Kick right under the jaw, into the cover.
15:25Another count and a near fall.
15:27And what we talked about, maybe not on the same page as well as a metaphor.
15:34But right now, Saul Rupert, Carmen Petrovich, working very well together.
15:37I wonder if Ariana Grace will be jealous of Saul Rupert right now.
15:41Come on, man.
15:41Come on.
15:45Definitely not jealous of that kick.
15:47Good shot.
15:48Just planted Saul.
15:49Look at the attitude.
15:50Lash fired up.
15:50Look at the attitude that Miss Jackson, if you're nasty.
15:54Here we go.
15:55Right into the stomach.
15:57And Takara Jackson is now the legal superstar.
16:00And we saw A'shanti Adonis earlier, who was trying to talk to Takara Jackson earlier tonight.
16:06And last weekend, it might have cost him earlier against Oro Mensah, who's somewhere smiling
16:11right now after his victory earlier tonight.
16:14And maybe the rest of metaphor can do the same here.
16:16Takara and Lash right now are looking good in total control of the situation, Victor.
16:23And Takara just took a swing.
16:24Petrovich.
16:27And we almost had an upset.
16:28Man, that was close.
16:31Don't get caught in the drop zone.
16:32Don't get caught in the drop zone with Saul Rupert.
16:35We know what can happen.
16:36Well, this one's certainly not in the spirit of competition.
16:38These four talking the trash earlier.
16:41And right now, you see the duo that's backing it up after the stereo super kicks.
16:46Not enough is Lash able to kick out.
16:48Beautiful tag team tandem.
16:50You see Jakar on the other side.
16:52This way counts Saul.
16:53Petrovich, I don't think realizes she doesn't have a partner.
16:56Petrovich still on fire right now.
16:58She's looking good with no hesitation.
17:01Looking to take it all the way.
17:05Petrovich, two for one.
17:06Wow, that's it.
17:09Why isn't enough is Jackson able to break up the count?
17:15What a match of these four women.
17:18Weren't ready to compete here earlier today, but they certainly have brought it here tonight.
17:23That was a beautiful and unique tag team move.
17:26Oh, yes.
17:28Saul wiping out Jakar.
17:31Petrovich is legal.
17:32So is LashLegend.
17:37That was hot.
17:38Somebody just punched.
17:39That was hot.
17:40To Karate.
17:42God, man.
17:43Do it for metaphor.
17:44Do it for metaphor.
17:47Unreal.
17:51Here are your winners.
17:52Jakar Jackson and LashLegend.
17:57The bougie bully with that right hand.
18:02Just about had you coming out of your Hall of Fame ring.
18:04You better get some Cholula Green on there.
18:06But check that out.
18:07Beautiful moves by Saul.
18:10But that right hand changed the complexion of this matchup for metaphor.
18:19And that is a statement by Lash and Jakar.
18:28Pop the brakes.
18:31Ayla and Alba, you said you didn't mind defending your championships,
18:36your WWE Women's Tag Team titles anywhere, right?
18:41So how about you defend them against the brightest stars in the galaxy
18:47next week at the Great American Bash?
18:51Yes.
18:53Pike dropped.
18:55Could the stars align next week in the Great American Bash?
18:59Challenge made.
19:01Question now.
19:02Will it be accepted?
19:06I know you understand.
19:07But look, man.
19:08I'm focused on getting my title back from Ethan Page.
19:10But trust and believe if Pete don't come out here and try me again, I'm going to bust his ass.
19:14I got you, okay?
19:15It's not a talk at all, all right?
19:16Come on.
19:17Take care of it, all right?
19:18Take it easy.
19:19Yeah.
19:20Put me to hell.
19:21Get the special sit-down interview and I don't?
19:24Why?
19:24Why?
19:24Because everybody loves Sia, right?
19:26She's a scrappy little underdog that everybody's rooting for.
19:29I'm sick of that story.
19:30And I'm sick of not getting what I deserve as champion.
19:33Roxanne, can we get a commercial break?
19:41July 30th and August 6th, the NXT Summer Tradition
19:45Returns.
19:46We welcome you to the Great American Bash.
19:50So get ready to party at the Great American Bash, a two-week special.
19:58Tuesday, July 30th, and Tuesday, August 6th, only on SyFy.
20:06Oh, we're back live on NXT.
20:07And obviously, Booker has all smiled with the Great American Bash.
20:10Oh, yeah.
20:12But I want to talk about someone who has taken over this universe.
20:15Someone who I found out over the weekend.
20:16You actually parried in the video.
20:18That being the one and only Joe Hendry.
20:24Well, I'm sure someone is watching with great interest.
20:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
20:27Don't say it, Finn.
20:28Please.
20:29It's Joe Hendry.
20:30That's who's watching.
20:34Oh, my God.
20:34It worked.
20:42With every passing week, more and more of the planet starts to believe.
20:51Believe in Joe Hendry.
20:56But becoming a social media sensation doesn't just happen overnight.
21:12Oh, yeah.
21:19Sure, in the last few months, things have really caught fire.
21:22But I've been wrestling for 11 years, just waiting for my time to shine.
21:27I always knew I had the skill and the athleticism to succeed.
21:30But in 2024, how do you stand out?
21:33Easy.
21:34You create an image that's impossible to escape.
21:37Say his name.
21:38Say his name and he appears.
21:42When you're the most talked about man in professional wrestling, it's going to upset
21:46some people.
21:47If I hear the name Joe Hendry one more time.
21:51But don't think that my sunrise to fame happened by accident.
21:55I've put in my 10,000 hours in the ring, in the studio, and mastering social media.
22:00Anywhere, anytime, on any show.
22:04There's no one left on planet Earth who hasn't seen my turn to camera or found himself chanting
22:10we believe.
22:11All you got to do is say his name.
22:16I believe.
22:22The public couldn't get enough.
22:24And before long, I believe in Joe Hendry soared to number four of the British music charts
22:30and beyond.
22:31Who is this professional wrestler that's outperforming Tyler Swift and Beyonce on the
22:36Billboard Charts?
22:37The entire world is waving their arms from side to side.
22:51It has become my life's work to become 252 pounds of pure motivation and the answer to
22:58all life's problems.
23:00That's why next week, for the first time, NXT will experience one of my world-famous,
23:06world-renowned live in-ring concerts.
23:10Bring your best singing voices and let's remind the WWE Universe and beyond why you
23:16all believe in Joe Hendry.
23:30Yeah, that's plenty.
23:33Let me guess, you want to talk about Joe Hendry?
23:36Easy, easy.
23:37Look, we didn't like him then, we don't like him now.
23:40Do you know what that muppet needs?
23:42A right kicking to the gallus firm.
23:45So how's about this, Joe?
23:47Next week, son, me and you at the Great American Bash.
23:52What about that, Danny?
23:53I don't know about that, Joe.
23:54Have you seen this?
23:56He wants to do what?
24:00No one wants to hear the splash in the party!
24:01No, no, no.
24:02Get in the car!
24:04Get in the car!
24:05Why is he so mad?
24:07This guy, this guy's a fraud!
24:10He's a fraud!
24:14You, you, you, you!
24:15Hey, no, no, no, you, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here.
24:18Thank you.
24:19You represent Law & Order around here, right?
24:21Yeah, so what happened with Oro last week?
24:23That didn't count.
24:23Right?
24:24Well, it wasn't an official match.
24:26Exactly.
24:27So technically, it doesn't count.
24:29Okay, you know what?
24:31You, you're coming with me.
24:32Ethan Page is starting to lose his mind here at NXT.
24:38He needs to get some counsel, man.
24:40Maybe a good lawyer might help him.
24:43He might.
24:44Cruzabino.
24:45He needs some.
24:45Oh, yeah, maybe Luke Christian.
24:46That's a good point.
24:47But speaking of champions and speaking about championships, we heard the challenge was
24:52We heard the challenge was thrown down for the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles.
24:56Well, it didn't take long for the champions to take to social media.
25:00Both Al Bafire and Ayla Dawn, the challenge was made.
25:03As you can see, the challenge accepted.
25:06So it is now official.
25:07The WWE Women's Tag Team Championships will be defended next week live on SyFy at week
25:15one of the Great American Bash.
25:18And that's going to be quite a championship matchup.
25:23Okay, okay.
25:25Hey, get in here, ref.
25:30All right, we are going to address this whole one, two, three business and lay it to rest
25:36for good.
25:37Okay, because what Oro did to me last week, it doesn't count.
25:43Okay, it was it was not official.
25:45And to me, it's null and void.
25:49And for the record, I want to make something very, very, very clear.
25:54None of this bothers me.
25:55Okay, referee, as a licensed WWE official, when Oro.
26:14Ignore them.
26:15They're ignorant.
26:16Okay, listen to me.
26:17When Oro attacked me last week, were you or any of your colleagues in the ring to make
26:24the count?
26:25Like I said before, it wasn't a legitimate match.
26:29So the count wasn't official.
26:30See, I'm right.
26:33I am right.
26:35Nobody was in this ring to count one, two, three.
26:39That means it doesn't count.
26:41It didn't happen, Oro.
26:43Hey, honestly, you referees usually absolutely suck.
26:47But you just did something great with your life.
26:49And I greatly appreciate it.
26:53And Oro, we saw him earlier.
26:55He's back.
26:57He did it again.
26:58He did it again.
26:59Oh, my.
27:15Ethan's ego has been bruised tonight.
27:30He went airborne.
27:32Look who it is, man in the hour.
27:35Look, I didn't think you had it in you.
27:36Not so pure anymore, huh?
27:38I respect it, though.
27:40Look, don't try to flatter me.
27:41I'm still coming after that cup.
27:43All right, well, you know, I'm a generous guy.
27:45And the Olympics are coming up soon.
27:46So I think I might give your Olympian a shot at the cup next week.
27:50Who?
27:51Tavion.
27:52Yes, Tavion.
27:53Guy represented this country in the 2020 games.
27:56Greco Roman, right?
27:57Yeah, that's right.
27:58Even got himself a win.
28:00Not the one who got his ass whooped by the girl.
28:05I'll see you next week, Tavion.
28:07Yeah, you will.
28:13We'll see if that one gets made official for the Great American Bash.
28:23The following contest is a six-man tag team match.
28:27Scheduled for one fall.
28:30Introducing first, Trey Magalhaes, Zachary Wicks, and Wesley The Rascal.
28:41Well, Buck, what have you thought about the Rascals reunion thus far?
28:46You know, I kind of like this trifecta, man.
28:48I mean, it's very high octane fuel injected.
28:52It's a preview of speed here tonight, man.
28:56I'm loving it.
28:57Well, you can say that one more time.
28:59So get ready.
29:00It's going to be high risk.
29:01It's going to be high flying.
29:03It's a six-man main event next live right here on NXT.
29:12We're learning more about NXT on SyFy next week.
29:15But here tonight, earlier, we had a no disqualification match
29:18between two former partners, two former friends, Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen,
29:23as Shawn Spears would interject, and Brooks Jensen would stick the knife
29:29in the back of his former tag team partner, much to the sinister smile of Shawn Spears.
29:37And when it comes to these two and what we saw here tonight,
29:41hopefully next week, we'll hear more of an exclamation on the Great American Bash.
29:47But speaking of the Bash, the Summer Tradition is back
29:50and can, via hail, prove she isn't the same as a year ago
29:54and bring some gold to Chase University.
29:57Or will Roxanne Perez get what she deserves?
29:59Something she says she hasn't had, that being respect from everyone on this brand.
30:05The NXT Women's Championship is on the line.
30:08This matchup has just been made official at the Great American Bash.
30:11Toni D'Angelo will defend the Heritage Cup against NQCC's newest member,
30:16Tabion Heights.
30:17It happens live next week on SyFy at week one of the Great American Bash.
30:22The challenge was made, it was also accepted.
30:25Last legend, Ja'Kara Jackson, had the opportunity to bring the WWE Women's Tag Team title
30:30to a new galaxy.
30:31But can they beat the unholy union of Fire and Dawn?
30:35We'll find out on SyFy at the Great American Bash.
30:40Sing his name and he appears.
30:44I believe in Joe Hendry.
30:48I believe in Joe Hendry.
30:49It'll be a performance of a lifetime, we heard from the trendy Scott,
30:53and we'll be greeted by his presence with a live concert next week
30:57when NXT is live on SyFy with week one of the Great American Bash.
31:04I believe in Joe Hendry.
31:05Scared me for a second.
31:07I don't play, I don't play.
31:09I don't play, I don't play.
31:11What do you mean you're scared?
31:12I'm Joe Hendry.
31:13I just saw you doing the song on the internet this week.
31:18Wasn't you?
31:20AI.
31:21Never slow down.
31:37Your boy is bouncy.
31:44Made a bit of time on NXT.
31:52And their opponent, the team of the NXT Tag Team Champion,
31:58Mason Fraser and Axiom, and Javon Evans.
32:04You said hi, Axiom.
32:06You said hi, Octane, earlier.
32:07I think you were right.
32:08You take a look at these six superstars.
32:10They're going to be flying.
32:11They're going to be bouncing around the ring,
32:14and there's Javon Evans, a man who stays ready,
32:16so he doesn't have to get ready.
32:18He's the team with the Tag Team Champions in our main event.
32:21Yeah, man, you better be ready tonight,
32:22because it's going to be a little bit different for Javon Evans.
32:26Normally the quickest, normally the fastest,
32:28but tonight will be totally different.
32:30Are you buckled up for this matchup?
32:32I'm ready to go, man.
32:33I'm buckled in.
32:34Oh, yes, the bell has rang.
32:37Here we go.
32:37This rascal.
32:38What's this rascal?
32:39Who's this rascal?
32:39That's Trey.
32:40Okay.
32:40That's Trey.
32:41Zach is right here in front of us,
32:42and there, of course, is Wesley,
32:44who you consider to be the greatest North American champion of all time,
32:49and saw all these superstars talking a little bit earlier tonight.
32:53And, you know, something that kind of struck me,
32:55as we've thought about the rascals in MSK,
32:58are you surprised that MSK picked up where they left off?
33:02That being Winston Lee.
33:04I must say, I didn't know a whole lot about the rascals,
33:07but I must say they are a hell of a tag team.
33:08And more importantly,
33:10they got Wesley back on the right track.
33:12His head space is in the right space right now,
33:14so I'm loving that more than anything.
33:16And I'll throw Trey in there as well.
33:18You know, same as we said for the rascals,
33:19four years removed, back on the same page,
33:22as you talk about in the high-flying action,
33:24already starting the quickness,
33:25and that is what has brought NXT to trend number one right now,
33:28with this massive-
33:29Oh, yes.
33:30And what a dropkick right on the butt.
33:33Or as you would say, the schnapps.
33:34No, this guy right here, Axin,
33:36is definitely one of the best that we've seen in the business now,
33:39tagging up with Nathan Fraser,
33:41a very, very unique tag team,
33:43one of the best that we've seen here.
33:45Oh, you guys see, you guys see.
33:48Moves like a blur, strikes like a cobra,
33:51and it's Fraser and Axin who came together this year,
33:54after years of battling one another,
33:56and look what it's done.
33:58Brought them the tag team gold here at NXT.
34:02That's what it's all about, Nick, you know,
34:03competing for the high and low leagues,
34:06to find themselves looking for something,
34:08and this is it.
34:09One of the best tag team we've seen here at NXT
34:11for a long, long time.
34:13Quick cover, and an even quicker kickout,
34:15and I go back to earlier, too,
34:17I don't know why Fraser was so stunned by Axin,
34:19who made that big announcement
34:20that he's gonna be on WWE's Speed of the Tablet,
34:22and he wins it.
34:23Oh, you know, like I say,
34:25it's important to try to step out a little bit,
34:28but I still think you're the same, man.
34:30I still think you're the same.
34:31I don't think it's always legal,
34:32because this is moving too quick,
34:34and I believe it's Wesley,
34:35all three rascals in the ring.
34:37Ah, hey, man, here we go.
34:40One thing I don't know what you just said about partners,
34:42it was Nathan Fraser who did the same thing to Axin,
34:45it's Axin who's following in Fraser's footsteps.
34:47Yeah, I was gonna say, man, what's good for the goose, right?
34:50It's about trying to step up to the next level, man.
34:53It's about trying to take your team to the next level,
34:56pushing each other to that next level.
34:58Here we go, my man.
35:00And he's back in the main event,
35:01testing himself here once again.
35:03Play with him, young OG.
35:05This is the greatest North American champion
35:07in the history of NXT.
35:10That boy getting bouncy, like you said,
35:13and right now, mocking the rascals.
35:16Evans' speed is on display,
35:19and he is staying step for step,
35:21tick for tack with the rascals.
35:22He is stepping up right here.
35:24Bam!
35:27I love it.
35:29Now, if we start thinking about the Great American Bash,
35:31a victory in this main event for any of these two teams
35:34can open the door to be part of the Great American Bash,
35:36the two-week TV special,
35:38which, of course, starts again next week,
35:40live on SyFy.
35:47This is a great spot for the show, man.
35:50Javon Evans, I love it.
35:52I love it, man.
35:53Take a look around the ring, too,
35:54before we talk about high octane.
35:57Oh!
35:58These six are like the high-flying all-stars of NXT.
36:02You can tell this young man wants it.
36:04Oh!
36:05Loud house!
36:09Wesley, just like that,
36:10turning his weight back around for himself and his team.
36:14Evans is in the wrong part of town,
36:16and he is not gonna like what he sees,
36:19because he's in the neighborhood.
36:20He's in the Rascals' treehouse right now.
36:23You talk about getting back together after four years
36:26and now getting a beat back, man.
36:28Oh, wow!
36:29Did you see that?
36:31I'll see it again here with Frazier
36:32turning right back around, wiping out Wesley.
36:36Oh!
36:38How did Miguel bounce right back up?
36:39Like a rubber band.
36:40I love these Rascals, man.
36:42Like a rubber band.
36:43He just snapped right back.
36:46And Wentz now looking around,
36:48realizing he's the only one standing.
36:50Well, not anymore.
36:51Inside cradle!
36:52Inside cradle!
36:52Oh, man!
36:54What a matchup!
36:55What speed!
36:56What agility!
36:57What high flying by the young OG!
37:03Wow!
37:07Not to be outdone.
37:11Wentz laying out the field.
37:12Six landed as well.
37:14The six-man main event tag team match gonna continue.
37:19Don't blink!
37:20You'll miss everything!
37:21Pizza Hut, you owe Chicago an apology.

37:48Uh, we're gonna need, like, a zillion of those.
37:52One zillion it is.

39:39Back live on NXT.
39:59A high-flying, fast-paced, six-man tag team main event.
40:04And right now it is the Rascals who have been in control.
40:07And as you saw throughout the commercial break,
40:09have now grounded the young OG because he was crying earlier,
40:15as was Zachary West, who was able to wipe out the field
40:19and take control of this match for the Rascals.
40:22But can you hear that comment that was made earlier
40:23that MSK has never lost the NXT tag team titles?
40:27One, it's a fact.
40:28And I mean, two, that used to bother Wentz and Wesley.
40:31Definitely may have bothered them just a little bit.
40:34And Wesley no longer in that North American title pitch.
40:37He's going to need something to motivate him just a little bit.
40:40That could be it.
40:41Oh, the young OG rolling through the high-cross body.
40:45And now he's controlled the body of Wentz in a big slam,
40:49making the tag.
40:50In comes Frazier.
40:52Young OG just showed a little spiritual power there.
40:55Roughly get out of the way.
40:56Whoa!
40:57Look how fast Frazier is standing.
41:01Standing shooters are almost brought from victory home.
41:04With a trio on the far side of the ring.
41:07Take another look.
41:08The height.
41:13Axiom made the announcement he'll be part of WWE Speed coming up.
41:17Talk about speed.
41:18This is it.
41:18No, you ain't lying.
41:20Firmly focused on WWE Speed,
41:24but also being one half of the tag team champions.
41:26And maybe having to get back to the drawing board a little bit.
41:29But as Axiom put it, it worked for Frazier.
41:31It worked for Axiom.
41:32Axiom was the one pushing it before it worked for the tag team champions.
41:36They still have gold around their waist.
41:37Nothing like being double champion, Vick.
41:39Nothing like it.
41:40I've been to the top a few times in my career.
41:43Trust me.
41:44I'm talking about, hey, champ.
41:45Hey, champ.
41:46Hey, champ.
41:46What do you need?
41:47What do you need?
41:48That's what it's all about, man.
41:49All right, now Wentz needs a little bit of help
41:51because he just got bodied and brought down
41:54in a nice submission, a sleeper hold applied by Axiom,
41:57who is a master of the submission hold.
41:59But Wentz able to hyperextend that elbow for a moment.
42:02A little bit of separation, but not enough to break away.
42:05Tag was made.
42:06Frazier is legal.
42:07Big kick to the face.
42:09Half and half turning Wentz inside out.
42:11Young OG's legal.
42:12Triple super kick.
42:14Wentz's body buckled.
42:16Here we go.
42:16And the Rascals come in because Axiom was playing defense,
42:20but Wentz able to kick out.
42:21It's so cool for this young man,
42:23the young OG to sit under the learning tree of Axiom.
42:27Nathan Frazier here tonight.
42:30And to that point, now take a look at the young OG,
42:33that being Javon Evans, putting in a submission,
42:36putting in work.
42:37He has gotten a quick education,
42:39as you put it, from the Tag Team Champions.
42:41That's what I mean.
42:42You look at Axiom, look at Nathan Frazier.
42:43These guys who go up top, they can wrestle with you.
42:46They're more of a hybrid than anything.
42:48That's why I say Javon Evans can only learn
42:51from this situation.
42:53Oh, Wentz.
42:53This is Wentz's opportunity.
42:55Created some separation,
42:56but not enough again to make a tag.
42:58And right back goes Axiom to an ankle lock this time.
43:01It pulls Wentz back.
43:03Wentz, though, oh no.
43:06Into the turnbuckle, tag is made.
43:09Great knee over the jaw.
43:11God, man.
43:16Frazier unsure where he's at.
43:19Wentz trying to crawl.
43:21And you know what?
43:21If Wentz would have fallen another half inch up,
43:25he would have fallen into a cover.
43:26But instead, some tags were made.
43:28And it's now Lee and it's now Evans.
43:30That man, Wesley.
43:33And the pace quickening.
43:34Wesley looking for the double stomp.
43:36Nobody home.
43:36Coming right back, nice block.
43:38Now goes to the body.
43:39Now starting to kick, looking for a nice combination.
43:41Offense clipping in.
43:42Knife drop kick to the shoulder blade.
43:43Yung OG's never seen anything like this right here
43:47before, Vic.
43:48He hasn't felt it either.
43:49It's Lee coming right around.
43:51Right in.
43:52Kick under the jaw one more time.
43:55Evans is probably only standing because the turnbuckles
43:57are there as Trey made the tag.
43:59And I don't know if you heard Trey.
44:00He said, get Axiom.
44:01He saw exactly what was happening.
44:03Called the action.
44:04Called the shot.
44:05And the Rascals are rolling.
44:06Great tag team action.
44:07Got to be one step ahead of your opponents right there.
44:10Look at the Rascals.
44:12Rascals right there trying to take it to the Yung OG.
44:15Here we go.
44:16Oh, beautiful.
44:17Beautiful tag right there.
44:18Didn't see it coming.
44:19Totally unexpected.
44:21Oh, my God.
44:22Rascals now continuing to roll.
44:24Man!
44:25It's McDowell who's in control.
44:28Makes the tag.
44:28In comes Wentz now.
44:30No, no, no.
44:30Double tag.
44:31Double tag.
44:32This young man, Wesley, looking to do some kind of another trifecta.
44:36Look at the finish.
44:38Oh!
44:39Oh, my God!
44:39You've got to be kidding me!
44:41Into the cover!
44:43Oh, another near fall.
44:46Not enough to beat the tag team champions.
44:49Not enough to keep Nathan Fraser down.
44:53Unbelievable.
44:56Take another look at the Rascals Foundation.
45:00Very innovative fit.
45:04And Wesley and the rest of the Rascals have been in control of this matchup.
45:07Nathan Fraser right now trying to counter, and he certainly did.
45:12Big attack.
45:13Evans is legal.
45:14Trey tagging himself in.
45:16And he came right across and got caught.
45:19Because he's so comfortable up top like that.
45:21You've got to watch this young man.
45:23He's special.
45:24He's very special.
45:27Lee swinging wildly.
45:28Evans didn't miss.
45:29Caught Lee.
45:33Bodies sprawled out all over.
45:35This main event has entered the hype.
45:37We all knew this was going to be special.
45:39We all knew this was going to be high flying.
45:41But what a counter by Evans!
45:43You've got to be kidding me!
45:45These six are answering everything we talked about.
45:48We told you this was going to be high octane.
45:51And it certainly has been.
45:52Yo, OG is stepping up, Vic.
45:54I talked about that IQ.
46:02Showing me a whole lot here.
46:04Good night, Vic.
46:05Can he get the victory for his team?
46:07And that IQ again on display as a tag was made.
46:09Fraser legal.
46:10Now Axioms tagged in.
46:12Axioms legal superstar.
46:13And we've seen this in the past.
46:15This is how the duos won the titles.
46:18First, Spanish Fly!
46:22Second, Phoenix Splash!
46:24They hit both!
46:25Add them up!
46:26Axioms legal.
46:28And somehow the Rascals folded up everybody's bodies like some accordions to continue this match.
46:36That was a 17 split right there, Vic.
46:40Right there, Vic.
46:41NXT!
46:49What a main event this has been between these six superstars.
46:54Four from NXT, two TNA wrestlers.
46:57Wesley floating right in, wiping out Fraser.
47:00Wesley somehow back to his feet, but so is the young OG.
47:03Big roundhouse kick connects, drops Lee.
47:05Wentz coming in.
47:06Wentz flying with a counter of his own right.
47:08Just bite them!
47:09It's going to come down to who's in the right place at the right time here tonight.
47:15It's not going to come down to who's got more skill.
47:17It's going to come down to who's got more will.
47:20Big forearm by Axiom.
47:22And now this has turned into a slug festival.
47:25I ask you, Booker, who is in favor?
47:27No, no, no.
47:28It's hard to say, Vic, because both of these teams are so similar to each other right now.
47:32Lee going up, going over, trying to get the shoulders down.
47:34Oh, here we go!
47:36Oh, this is going to be good.
47:36Here we go!
47:37Bam!
47:39Axiom's laid out.
47:41Double stomp!
47:45His partners, that being Axiom, has taken out.
47:47Tag was made.
47:48We've seen this at NXT.
47:50Come get you some!
47:52Wentz is legal.
47:54Lee taking out everybody.
47:57Wentz has pinned one half of the tag team champions.
48:02Here are your winners, Paul Fraser!
48:07Oh, holy hell!
48:09What a main event!
48:10What a match!
48:11Everyone's standing!
48:12What a night!
48:14What a fight!
48:21Unreal action!
48:25And right here, that was textbook MSK.
48:30As you saw, Wesley wiping everybody out,
48:33making sure that the Rascals reunion would continue to ride high here on NXT.
48:49And the NXT universe on their feet, showing these six some love.
48:53And these six now looking at each other in a nice show of respect between these six standouts
49:06here on NXT.
49:11Whatever this is, put a pin in it.
49:13Ava, I am done.
49:15I need Oro.
49:16I want Oro in a match.
49:17It would be great.
49:19Hi, how are you?
49:21Even, what changed your mind?
49:22Because you were very-
49:23Oh, what changed my mind?
49:24What changed my mind is I've had it up to here and-
49:29And somebody like me shouldn't have to deal with something like this.
49:35And I would like to finally put an end to it.
49:38Hell, I'll put my NXT title on the line to get this over with.
49:41Okay, great.
49:43So next week, I will have the contract drafted and then you guys will sign it.
49:47And at week two of the bash, it will be you versus Oro for that NXT title.
49:51Good.
49:53Good.
