00:00Let's make a quick note here for Dani Palmer, of course,
00:07coming back from that double hip surgery.
00:09Byron, how mentally strong do you have to be to return from such an injury?
00:12Incredibly, you think about the history of Dani Palmer,
00:15three time national champion and acrobatics and tumbling.
00:18She's never experienced an injury, not even in the realm of double hip surgery.
00:22That would break a lot of athletes.
00:24But if you talk to her, she'll tell you the whole time it was faith over fear.
00:27She had no fear about the road ahead, the recovery road.
00:30She knew this moment would come when she would step back inside this ring.
00:34As Dani Palmer comes back the other way,
00:36we're going to bring a lot of energy inside the ring.
00:38Dani Palmer certainly put herself on the map last year.
00:41Oh, innovative cover right there in the women's breakout tournament.
00:46And of course, Jasmine Nix has been rising up the ranks.
00:48A lot has changed with Jasmine Nix since the last time Dani Palmer was in an NXT ring.
00:52A lot has changed in the NXT women's division
00:54since the last time Dani Palmer was inside an NXT ring.
00:57So she's got to be able to adjust to the new surroundings.
01:00And so far, doing an extremely strong job.
01:04Looking very comfortable inside the ring, has not lost a step.
01:07And I spoke to Dani Palmer earlier this week, and she told me how important
01:10the support was of her family and friends all throughout that recovery process.
01:14How really important is it, Byron, to have that with those people around you
01:17really getting you back to where you need to be? Into the cover?
01:20Well, it's critical.
01:21Off balance, really popping up.
01:23That numbers game playing a role.
01:25And Jasmine Nix now, we're going to take full advantage.
01:28And look, as much of a support system.
01:31That's cute.
01:32Oh, yeah.
01:34We're not talking about my middle school days.
01:36But you know, you talked about the importance of that support system.
01:38She had it from our superb medical staff here in NXT.
01:42She had it from friends like Soul Ruka.
01:44But it's a completely different story.
01:46You know, Blake, you can think about all the machinations
01:48of what you're going to do when you step inside that ring.
01:50Oh, Fisherman Suplex, hold the bridge.
01:55Oh, it seems like Palmer's certainly
02:02not detracting from that high risk ability.
02:05Has Danny now?
02:06Big impact there.
02:07Danny Palmer started feeling a bit here, Byron.
02:10Think about how much a win here would mean to Danny Palmer
02:14after at one point questioning whether or not she could even walk again.
02:17And now here she is on the verge of scoring a victory.
02:20Here we go into the cover, hooks that outside leg.
02:22And Palmer right on the cusp there, maybe feeling a bit of frustration,
02:25but keeping her nose to the grindstone and trying to get right back to work.
02:28I don't know if it's frustration.
02:30I think Danny's just thankful to be back inside the ring, quite frankly.
02:33Certainly very thankful here is Jasmine Nix looking to take advantage.
02:36Jasmine's look very comfortable in her last couple of appearances.
02:39Oh, there it is.
02:41And in the position.
02:42And how about a Nix kick?
02:48Here is your winner, Jasmine Nix.
02:55Looking at Stacks and Luka, how much cohesion and momentum
03:02was the family building in the tag team division prior to Stacks and Luka?
03:04I think this has been a very solid tag team.
03:06And you hope for their sake, they can pick up where they left off.
03:09We know the family's had some setbacks recently, but listen,
03:12it's all about the bounce back.
03:18That 42 inch vertical display
03:21by Tyson Dupont there.
03:23Shocking Channing Stacks, Lorenzo, and here comes Tyreek Igwe.
03:26And we talk about cohesion of Tyson and Tyreek
03:29really getting on the same page here with tag team maneuvers.
03:32Well, this all comes down to experience.
03:34Tyson Dupont and Tyreek Igwe have more experience as a tag team
03:38than Stacks and Luka Kusafina. We know that.
03:41Of course, we mentioned the D'Angelo family,
03:43former two time tag team champion Stacks, along with the Don Heltos.
03:47Of course, you have to wonder if an advantage is that for Stacks
03:50as they're looking for gold here for the third time around.
03:53Well, Stacks knows what it takes to get there.
03:54Speaking apart, that knowledge on a Luka Kusafina
03:57is a certain championship mindset that separates you from the rest of the pack.
04:01And once you all hold up, hold up.
04:03Oh, that knee, right knee.
04:04Maybe feeling it right there.
04:05We talked about Tyreek Igwe only staying one step ahead of his opponents.
04:08He certainly has this one well scouted.
04:11This was very smart.
04:12We saw the slight hesitation from Tyreek Igwe.
04:15But understand, you now have a bullseye.
04:17That. Oh!
04:20They also understand when you're in the midst of that match,
04:23respect has to go out the window.
04:25It's all about get the W.
04:26They certainly don't want the D'Angelo family to mistake kindness for weakness,
04:30as right there.
04:31Here comes Luka Kusafina, the consigliere in the best shape of his life.
04:34Chiseled and jacked.
04:36Luka Kusafina going to town.
04:40Coming off of a recent appearance on Main Event,
04:42the consigliere clicking at the highest level ever since joining the D'Angelo family.
04:46Fired up Luka Kusafina is.
04:48Oh! Wipes out Igwe.
04:52Oh! And taking care of business here against DuPont.
04:55Into the cover. Hooks the outside leg.
04:58Oh! And Tyson DuPont at two and three quarters.
05:04Oh, Luka in the wrong part of town here.
05:06Look at the power of Tyson DuPont.
05:09DuPont and Igwe having their back pocket.
05:11Oh, sends him in.
05:12There it is!
05:12Quick and agility.
05:14The heart stopper.
05:15Byron, is this going to be it?
05:17Good. Oh!
05:18And Stacks with a huge save.
05:20Keep it in the D'Angelo family a lot.
05:22The last possible second.
05:25Stacks will extend the save for himself and Luka Kusafina in this match.
05:29This one's starting to break down a bit here.
05:30Oh, Luka coming back the other way inside the cradle.
05:32Will that be enough?
05:34And Igwe able to kick out Byron.
05:36This one very even back and forth here.
05:39Stacks with the tag.
05:41Oh, that's a way to test out that knee.
05:43I appreciate the creativity behind that tag.
05:46And Luka, measure him up.
05:48Oh!
05:49And that knee looking mighty healthy right here.
05:52Hooks the outside leg.
05:54Oh!
