00:00That simply can't be the case.
00:04And speaking of knees, after the show tonight, Wade,
00:07I'm gonna head back to the trainers room, see if we can get any confirmation on
00:09Cody Rhodes' knee problem, heading into tomorrow night.
00:12Kevin Strowman traces by Adelaide, cover now, hook to the leg, kick out at two.
00:17Double Moonsault there, and you have to think with Mellow's mind on his knee,
00:21perhaps not fully in the matchup at this point.
00:23I've seen him avoid that move a couple of times previously.
00:27Mellow 800%, this is desperation time for Carl Mellow Hayes.
00:32Andrade, a former NXT champion, United States champion as well.
00:36A proven pedigree at the top of the card in WWE, there's Andrade.
00:42Six and one since returning to WWE, that won't blemish.
00:48There it is.
00:51The first 48 connects for Carl Mellow Hayes, who's suddenly back in control.
00:57Yeah, but he's still hurting from that knee issue.
01:00He wasn't able to pounce into a pin.
01:03And Mellow now with a Meteora into the corner.
01:06Cover now on Andrade for the win.
01:08Kick out by Andrade.
01:14Battle to battle as good as I have ever seen at this level is Mellow.
01:18And he keeps getting better every single week.
01:20American champion in NXT time.
01:22NXT champion.
01:24And now Andrade looking for three amigos.
01:28Nope.
01:28Carmelo Hayes, standing switch.
01:31Andrade drives him into the corner.
01:33Rolled through.
01:35Andrade powering Hayes up.
01:37And Andrade showing off his power there.
01:39Cover, stacks him up and a kick out at two.
01:43Again, favoring his knee.
01:45Andrade beat him to the punch there.
01:47Both men, second rope.
01:51Oh my goodness.
01:54Roll ball, Spanish fly.
01:56Cover by Andrade.
01:57One, two, three.
01:59Mellow kicks out.
02:04You lose 2% of your game.
02:06That could be the difference maker.
02:07This could be the difference maker.
02:09Carmelo, Andrade.
02:10Hayes on the leg.
02:11Andrade into the cover.
02:13One, two, three.
02:20Oh, and Mellow.
02:21Oh, on the exposed turnbuckle.
02:23Face first for Andrade on the exposed turnbuckle.
02:26Onto that steel turnbuckle corner.
02:29And now Carmelo Hayes looks to take advantage
02:32from the top rope.
02:33Andrade.
02:34Andrade.
02:35Andrade.
02:36Andrade.
02:37Andrade.
02:39Carmelo Hayes looks to take advantage from the top rope.
02:42Nothing but net.
02:44Carmelo Hayes.
02:45Cover.
02:46One, two, three.
02:47And he's leading the series.
02:48It's two to three.
02:51Here is your winner, Carmelo Hayes.
03:08Andrade.
