00:00the following contest is scheduled for
00:05one fall, introducing first,
00:10accompanied by Fallon Henley and
00:14JCJain, Jasmine Nix.
00:18Getting the action started tonight here in the NXT Women's Division and
00:25Byron, for the first time as a trio, invading Level Up.
00:31The terrible trio is here on Level Up, but you know, it's funny.
00:38Some people go out and people watch, but this trio says we go out and
00:41we get watched.
00:43As they're certainly looking to make a statement here tonight with Jasmine Nix
00:46in singles competition.
00:49As we talk about this trio really taking over the women's division here in NXT.
00:54Certainly a big way to get things started tonight as we welcome in ringside here
00:57Blake Howard, Byron Saxon.
00:58Byron, we talked about it.
00:59Next weekend, massive for the WWE.
01:02Talk about no mercy, Denver, Colorado, Baston, Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
01:06But I'm gonna dub this evening something.
01:08I'm gonna dub it The Opportunity in O-Town, because in just a moment,
01:13we're gonna see a big return of the young lady.
01:16And her opponent,
01:21Danny Palmer.
01:25Well, Byron, you can certainly feel that support.
01:32The outpouring of emotions by the NXT Universe for this superstar,
01:36who after an arduous recovery process and nearly ten months on the sidelines,
01:40the Daredevil, back in NXT.
01:43You can hear the NXT Universe serenading Danny Palmer.
01:49You mentioned it, double hip surgery, eight months out of action.
01:55This is a moment she's been dreaming about, doing what she loves the most,
01:59stepping inside this ring here at NXT.
02:03Let's make a quick note here for Danny Palmer, of course,
02:05coming back from that double hip surgery.
02:07Byron, how mentally strong do you have to be to return from such an injury?
02:10Incredibly, you think about the history of Danny Palmer,
02:12three-time national champion in acrobatics and tumbling.
02:15She's never experienced an injury, not even in the realm of double hip surgery.
02:20That would break a lot of athletes.
02:22But if you talk to her, she'll tell you the whole time it was faith over fear.
02:25She had no fear about the road ahead, the recovery road.
02:28She knew this moment would come when she would step back inside this ring.
02:32As Danny Palmer comes back the other way.
02:34They're gonna bring a lot of energy inside the ring.
02:36Danny Palmer certainly put herself on the map last year.
02:40Innovative cover right there in the Women's Breakout Tournament.
02:44And of course, Jasmine Nix has been rising up the ranks.
02:46A lot has changed with Jasmine Nix since the last time Danny Palmer was in
02:49an NXT ring.
02:50A lot has changed in the NXT Women's Division since the last time
02:53Danny Palmer was inside an NXT ring.
02:55So she's got to be able to adjust to the new surroundings.
02:58And so far, doing an extremely strong job.
03:02Looking very comfortable inside the ring, has not lost a step.
03:05And I spoke to Danny Palmer earlier this week, and
03:07she told me how important the support was of her family and friends.
03:10All throughout that recovery process, how really important is it, Byron,
03:13to have those people around you really getting you back to where you need to be?
03:16Into the cover.
03:18Well, it's critical.
03:19All fans really popping up.
03:21That numbers game playing a role.
03:23And Jasmine Nix now, looking to take full advantage.
03:26And look, as much of a support system.
03:29That's cute.
03:30There she goes.
03:30Yeah.
03:32We're not talking about my middle school days.
03:34You know, you talked about the importance of that support system.
03:36She had from our superb medical staff here in NXT.
03:40She had from friends like Soul Ruka.
03:42But it's a completely different story.
03:44You know, Blake.
03:45You can think about all the machinations of what you're gonna do when you step
03:48inside that ring.
03:48There you go, Fisherman Suplex.
03:49Holds the bridge.
03:50When you're actually in there, when you're back in the trenches after having not
03:54been under these bright lights for almost a year, a completely different story.
03:58Look at the impact of that strike.
04:00Into the cover.
04:01And Jasmine Nix only gets two.
04:02We're talking about the friendship of Danny Palmer and all that support.
04:05How dangerous has Jasmine Nix been now, surrounded by Jaycee, Jane, and Fallon?
04:09And come back the other way, only two.
04:11Jasmine Nix, from a statistical standpoint, you might call her a rookie.
04:16But she doesn't see herself as a rookie.
04:18She sees the likes of Danny Palmer, as ridiculous as it sounds,
04:21to be a rookie.
04:21Because of the company she keeps, they've inflated her ego so
04:24much so that she believes she's a veteran here in NXT.
04:27I'm not sure Nix got all that strike, but enough to keep Palmer down.
04:30And only gets two right there.
04:31And of course, you go back to the Great American Bash a couple of weeks ago.
04:34A big win in six-woman tag team action there for Jasmine Nix, Jaycee, Jane, and
04:39Fallon Henley.
04:40Have they even scratched the surface of their capabilities in training?
04:42No, I don't think so.
04:43And that's a scary prospect for the entire women's division.
04:46And credit Jasmine Nix.
04:47You may not love her attitude, you may not like it, but Palmer,
04:51it was a smart career decision to align herself with the Jaycee, Jane,
04:55with a Fallon Henley, two former women's tag team champions who know all the ropes
04:59here in NXT.
05:00As Dani Palmer here looking to feed off of the NXT universe.
05:03Byron, it's been quite some time since Dani Palmer has been at this point in
05:06a matchup.
05:07You have to wonder if she can really not hold it back and let it all loose.
05:12This is always the point where you really wanna study a superstar's mannerism.
05:17How she carries herself as this match goes on,
05:19because she hasn't been in these deep waters yet.
05:21It seems like Palmer certainly not detracting from that high risk ability.
05:27Has Dani now, big impact there, Dani Palmer.
05:30Starting to feel it a bit here, Byron.
05:32Think about how much a win here would mean to Dani Palmer.
05:36After at one point questioning whether or not she could even walk again.
05:39And now here she is on the verge of scoring a victory.
05:42Here we go into the cover, hooks that outside leg.
05:44And Palmer right on the cusp there.
05:46Maybe feeling a bit of frustration, but keeping her nose to the grindstone.
05:49And trying to get right back to work.
05:50I don't know if it's frustration.
05:52I think Dani's just thankful to be back inside the ring, quite frankly.
05:55Certainly very thankful here as Jasmine Nix looking to take advantage.
05:58Jasmine's looked very comfortable in her last couple of appearances.
06:01There it is.
06:02There it is.
06:03And into position.
06:04And how about a Nix kick?
06:11Here is your winner, Jasmine Nix.
06:15Mighty impressive victory right there for Jasmine Nix.
06:18Well, that was a veteran move by Jasmine Nix.
06:20A true credit to the learning tree, if you will, of Fallon Henley and
06:24JC Jane.
06:25Dani Palmer had this match well in control, but all it took was one moment,
06:30one opening that Jasmine Nix took advantage of.
06:34As a former professional soccer player uses that striking ability
06:37to pick up the victory.
06:38And just like Team USA Women's Soccer, Nix and company looking for gold
06:42here in NXT.
06:44As earlier today, Sarah Shriver caught up with this tag team ready to explode.
