00:00The revolution has arrived!
00:07Ryan, he's got that championship, right?
00:10That's what he looks like he has.
00:11Well, you heard the bell. This one is official.
00:13And it's...
00:14Come to momma and make your church proud.
00:16Well, this is for Alexis King.
00:18But I'm excited to have you out here, Ricky, because...
00:21Thin ego, my man.
00:23Goodness gracious.
00:24Oh, look at this!
00:25Look at that German suplex.
00:26Here in NXT, and he is taking over.
00:29One thing that I'm worried about is making sure
00:31that I walk into Vegas as champion.
00:33He's being handed an opportunity.
00:36See that?
00:37That's crazy.
00:38Well, if you're keeping points at home,
00:40that would be a Scrabble word indeed.
00:42And oh! Oh!
00:44Backup misses himself, and...
00:46Whoa!
00:47Darts it!
00:48A little more short-footed, but a big...
00:50And fouled it up!
00:52Here we go!
00:53Oh!
00:54Perpetually disrespected running shooting stars.
00:57He's been in the ring with you.
00:58That's the only reason why.
01:00Because of that championship, which is now held by Ricky Saints,
01:03who's well on his way.
01:04Oh!
01:05Down, guys!
01:06Oh!
01:07Come on!
01:08This is...
01:09Oh!
01:10And Thorpe into the North American Championship.
01:11Yes!
01:12He knows it!
01:13You're in on page.
01:14Get out!
01:15Yo, get out of here!
01:16We're not doing anything wrong!
01:17WrestleMania Saturday.
01:18Ricky Saints the champion.
01:20And Thorpe now...
01:21Crossface!
01:22Oh, baby!
01:23Bill has the Boston Crab!
01:25Well, bad!
01:26But Wesley...
01:27Oh, no!
01:28Oh, God!
01:29Oh, God!
01:30That's the damnedest win!
01:31A double kick out, I mean, again.
01:34It's pinfall submission.
01:35Wanting to know who will earn the number one contendership.
01:38You ask me what I like about Wesley.
01:39I can do to a fight.
01:40Oh, yes, baby!
01:41At the biggest stage in four!
01:42No crash and burn!
01:43Five!
01:44Swanton connected!
01:45And four!
01:46Four for the big elbow to the spine!
01:47Meteora connects!
01:48King!
01:49Oh, it makes a three!
01:50Page!
01:51Twisting Grin!
01:52And Ethan Page!
01:53Well, I guess that makes me the man, then, huh?
01:55Ricky Saints, I know I'm not the guy you are.
01:57I know I'm not the guy you are.
01:58I know I'm not the guy you are.
01:59I know I'm not the guy you are.
02:00I know I'm not the guy you are.
02:01I know I'm not the guy you are.
02:02I know I'm not the guy you are.
02:03I know I'm not the guy you are.
02:04You stand there, huh?
02:05Ricky Saints, I know I'm not the guy you are to win tonight.
02:09Because everyone remembers their first.
02:11And stand and deliver your first title defense.
02:15In Spear by Saints!
02:18Who will walk out with the North American title?
02:21But will this woman walk out with gold?
02:24But four women have qualified.
02:26Only two spots remain in the ladder match for the women's North American title.
02:30It doesn't really matter because the outcome is gonna be the second.
02:33I'm a champ.
02:34And I have the perfect answer.
02:35Either of us.
02:36Hold on!
02:37Wait a minute!
02:38Wait a minute!
02:39I thought Zaruka was fine!
02:40It's gonna be me walking out a two-time Women's North American Champion.
02:45Easy!
02:46Yeah, good one, idiot.
02:47You guys wanna know what I missed?
02:48No.
02:49Old Kalani, new Kalani, doesn't really matter when I'm the one at the top of the ladder
02:54title, bringing home yet another championship to the calling.
02:58Keep dreaming, cause it's never gonna happen.
03:01Well, we are about to find out who will earn one.
03:05Tatum Paxley!
03:10This is quite the opportunity for Tatum Paxley.
03:14Lola Vise!
03:17At Live and Live Beach at the Fountain Blue Las Vegas, the official hotel.
03:21More laser-focused than Lola Vise.
03:24Oh, in NXT, what an opportunity lies in front of both of these women.
03:28Rollin' through, shoulders down.
03:31Grasp under the knee, not allowing Lola to fully extend.
03:35Uh-oh.
03:36Might have been lured into a trap by Lola Vise with an extensive mixed martial arts background.
03:40I'm getting it done.
03:41You wanna take it back to the breakout tournament?
03:43Oh!
03:44These two have not been finished.
03:45Trying to get anywhere she can away.
03:47This is my time!
03:48I do have to!
03:49Oh my!
03:50He's walking away.
03:51Oh!
03:52Oh my!
03:53Back.
03:54Who is gonna head?
03:55Will it be Lola Vise?
03:56They will be the fifth competitor in the women's...
03:59Nobody is a weapon.
04:00Back and forth across the ring.
04:02Oh!
04:03Oh!
04:04Got the knees off!
04:05You see those knees booked?
04:06Deliver shot and now just firing up.
04:08Bam!
04:09Paxley slipping down, shoulders down, and a near fall.
04:14Really not able to get that left shoulder up as high as maybe she wanted.
04:19For a moment!
04:21Wrestlemania!
04:22And Lola!
04:24Made to enter the ring and she got caught!
04:27That was a risk that didn't pay off!
04:29Ball fist!
04:30Lola has qualified!
04:34Five women are in, one spot still remains.
04:37We find out later tonight who will be the sixth to compete.
04:40That's one-third of the Stand and Deliver main event.
04:42Trick Williams has arrived to NXT.
04:49Something about another opportunity to be had at Stand and Deliver.
04:52That's right.
04:53All of you are gonna get an opportunity at Stand and Deliver, okay?
04:55People threat tag team match.
04:57And the winner gets a women's tag team championship match Tuesday after Stand and Deliver.
05:02Babe!
05:03I knew you'd do this, seriously, of course!
05:05Every single woman is gonna be on Stand and Deliver except the woman that made this the best women's division.
05:10If you can charm yourself into finding a tag team partner, I'll happily make this a fatal four-way.
05:15There's not a lot of options for the prodigy.
05:17NXT Tag Team Gauntlet Match!
05:22Tyson Newport!
05:23Tyson Newport!
05:24And Tyree!
05:25E-Gwen!
05:27Opportunity!
05:28They're nasty, they're powerful, they're impactful.
05:32And this is the matchup that we've all been waiting for.
05:36It's finally here.
05:37I mean, starting first, just like Corey said, I mean, you gotta have the, um...
05:41Well, Hank and Tank on a seven-match losing streak.
05:43He's actually two and almost made it two in a row.
05:46And I've talked about it.
05:47The force focus.
05:48Preparation, preparation is the only luck.
05:51Cook some chicken out in the desert.
05:52That is a beautiful movie reference which I love.
05:55It moved up book, in your opinion, being tagged.
05:57This is not about friends or anything like that.
05:59It's about chicks.
06:00It's about chicks.
06:01Oh, big shotgun.
06:02Hank and Tank got your coat at two.
06:05Team, take a look.
06:06Is it gonna happen?
06:07Hank and Tank!
06:08And the Xfinity Wi-Fi is booming.
06:11Well, they snapped a losing streak of sorts, but now they're taking on another team.
06:17Oh, Vance being held back here by Jensen for the moment.
06:21NXT history, Hank and Tank snapping a streak, but another quick tag.
06:25Spears Booker said, Nico, Jensen, it was their time.
06:28Do you believe that?
06:29No, no.
06:30Like I say, the direction of Sean Spears, the guy.
06:33Hank and Tank, look at him make it.
06:35Two in a row!
06:36What a fight this has been for Hank and Tank and all the butterfly feels.
06:41The prophecy of Sean Spears could be fulfilled and stand and deliver.
06:45Sean Spears is doing a hell of a job.
06:47And Hank is not doing any favors for his partner.
06:50It's over.
06:51No, it is not.
06:53Battle right now of survival, but it's turned into a battle.
06:56And in comes Tank.
06:59Hank.
07:00Tank just said that it's crashing from the outside.
07:02Oh my.
07:03He's been waiting for his moment.
07:04And one more time.
07:05But you gotta look around too.
07:07Hank is down.
07:08Tank's by himself.
07:09Here comes Hank, running on fumes.
07:11He's gotta be at this juncture.
07:13We talk about Hank, he's a former security guard.
07:15Here tonight, looking to fly.
07:17Got caught!
07:18Oh, well done!
07:19Now to agree with you, the beginning of the end.
07:22Oh!
07:23Oh!
07:24Cover, cover!
07:25They did it again!
07:26And it's headed out of here.
07:27And this got my man.
07:28On the left just ran.
07:29No corner catch crew aren't here to play games.
07:32Certainly not born.
07:33Oh!
07:34Tavion Heights.
07:35Today's plenty more.
07:36They seem to be trying to fight with a little bit behind them.
07:40Tonight, however, things are not gonna get any.
07:42Cover!
07:43And another near follow.
07:45This guy isn't athletically gifted.
07:47He's been blessed by the gods.
07:49Tag made.
07:50Back in and whoa!
07:51Using the brains now.
07:53Swinging away.
07:54Damn bones right there baby.
07:56All born can do is cover up.
07:59Big elbow but look here in NXT.
08:01This is super deep.
08:02I'm shocked that they've made it this far.
08:04Hold on!
08:06Flying off!
08:07Oh!
08:08Taking it to the limit!
08:09But look at Miles!
08:10For a minute, hands flying everywhere.
08:13And they put it together again!
08:16Oh!
08:17Yeah!
08:18Hey!
08:19And that was certainly close and now again it might just be.
08:23Ripped out here in front of us!
08:24From behind!
08:25Son of the ring!
08:26He got the three!
08:27He got the three!
08:28Oh and Booker, this is the luck of the draw.
08:31Over!
08:32Here we go baby!
08:33And you know Briggs has been in the back.
08:35Briggs has been in the back.
08:36He's been scheming on the same page last week.
08:39Seemed to be swinging.
08:41Ballroom brawl!
08:42Throwing hands!
08:43Big splash!
08:44How the hell are Hank and Tank still in this match?
08:49That duo.
08:50Here comes Briggs!
08:52Oh!
08:53And just remember earlier in this match up.
08:55A choke slam onto that knee!
08:58He's like a lot of, a lot of giving a lot of weight in this match up like this.
09:03Don't give the credit to the official book, let's be honest man.
09:05Four time!
09:06And in the middle!
09:08They did it!
09:09No way!
09:10How the hell they did it!
09:11Four straight tonight.
09:12They finally put it together when the tag titles are on the line.
09:15And stand and deliver.
09:17Against Kendall Gray, Brinley Reese and Chantel Monroe.
09:21I bet.
09:22Thanks for the talk Stevie.
09:23Kelly's gonna be a big star one day.
09:24May I agree?
09:25Oh absolutely.
09:26I think Tank just won that gauntlet match.
09:28So happy for those guys.
09:29You guys will know when our music hits.
09:30She's teasing us.
09:31Okay.
09:32Surprise.
09:33Oh, that's the ruler of NXT.
09:36We here for the NXT champion live.
09:39Hey, where's Tony?
09:40Hey, where's the dog?
09:42He's not coming.
09:44I don't need to justify my decisions.
09:46I'm the underboss.
09:47This is my call.
09:48Let's go.
09:49Good.
09:50Riz, get out of here.
09:53No!
09:54No!
09:55No!
09:56No!
09:57No!
09:58No!
09:59No!

10:15Get out of there!
10:19Get on there!
10:20You're OUT!
10:21I'm sorry!
10:22Oh, my God.
10:24Hey, hey.
10:27Hey, hey, hey.

10:51Oh.
10:51Loose!
10:53Yeah!
10:55Ah!
11:00Ah!
11:02You're good, Luca!
11:06Stax, you good?
11:07I thought you called him the wrong people.
11:09Don, you made it just in time.
11:10Those four guys...
11:11Stax, what the hell are you doing?
11:12Missing the family on something I didn't sign off on?
11:15Dude, they were disrespecting the family.
11:16Yeah, yeah, I had a plan.
11:17Listen, while you were doing whatever the hell this is,
11:19I was handling business the way it's supposed to be handled.
11:23But we're not going to do it in some street,
11:25in some parking lot,
11:27in front of the entire world,
11:28on the biggest stage.
11:30Stand and deliver.
11:32Listen, I know what's best for this family.
11:35Stax, do not question me again.
11:38You want to stand me?
11:45Boys, you are going to stand and deliver.
11:48We're moving, baby!
11:49Over the past few weeks,
11:50we've had tons of advice, Kelly.
11:52Some were good,
11:53some were not so good,
11:54but learn who we are, Kelly!
11:57But we also learned who we're not.
11:59We gave it a bodacious,
12:00belly boy boom and twist!
12:02We had a chance at a title at stand and deliver.
12:05They actually did it.
12:06You guys found yourself
12:07on the biggest stage
12:08against the best tag team in NXT.
12:11But did I?
12:12Look, I just ran the entire gauntlet.
12:13It's just a shame that
12:14you ran that entire gauntlet.
12:16See you boys at stand and deliver.
12:17Yeah, we most certainly will.
12:21Seriously, even Hank and Tank
12:22got to go to stand and deliver
12:23and I don't.
12:24Roxanne, if you deserve it so much,
12:26did you find a tag team partner
12:27like we talked about?
12:28Yeah, so I thought about it
12:30and I realized
12:31I'm a prodigy for a reason, so...
12:33Roxanne, that's not how this works
12:34and one of you is plenty.
12:36Look, how bad do you want this, okay?
12:38Pretty bad, Ava.
12:39Well, that's really interesting.
12:41Bad enough to say...
12:43I'm sorry.
12:46Carmen Petrovic!
12:49Thank you so much for everything
12:50you've done for me
12:51over the past couple of months.
12:53I'm just scared.
12:54What if I ruined your lives
12:55the same way I ruined everyone else's?
12:56You didn't ruin mine.
13:01You have my blessings, Mr. Chase.
13:04Does that mean you're back in?
13:05No, but I'll always be a proud alumni.
13:07I'm going to be qualifying
13:08for the North American title ladder match.
13:11Yeah, let's go.
13:12Come on!
13:15Thea!
13:16Hey!
13:19Not this man did defunct.
13:23What is it?
13:24What are you talking about?
13:26I'm glad.
13:27Carmen Petrovic, I can't believe,
13:29has another cover, another kickout.
13:31Somewhere you want to be.
13:32A six-man tag match
13:33takes place this Saturday.
13:35Fourth American Championship
13:36ladder match.
13:37Cated feet.
13:38And Booker, I thought it was
13:38a mighty big move of Thea.
13:40And I can see something like
13:41Thea.
13:42Something like that.
13:43We'll earn that final spot
13:45in the field of six.
13:46To give the locker room
13:48a chance to shine.
13:49And Booker, I've been meaning
13:50to ask you this.
13:51I understand trying to defend
13:52the new championship
13:53is very, very difficult.
13:54When I came into WWE,
13:56made history just like
13:57Stephanie McKeown.
13:58Oh!
13:58I wonder what Thea
13:59learned in her time away.
14:02Running right in,
14:03stepping right over,
14:04double under a hook.
14:05Oh!
14:06Twist and twisting right back
14:07around.
14:08Clear off.
14:09There's a game.
14:09Petrovic can appear tonight.
14:12Flatterback.
14:12I'll say it one more time.
14:14Hell yes!
14:16Because she sees the rest
14:17of the field
14:18that she will come...
14:19Will it be Izzy Dame?
14:20Will it be Kalani Jordan?
14:23Will it be...
14:23We're going to find out
14:24Saturday and stand
14:26and deliver.
14:28They have their final face-off.
14:30It takes place live.
14:31It takes place next.
14:34Back live on the final NXT
14:36before Saturdays.
14:38I like...
14:39Oh, yeah, man!
14:41That's that boy!
14:42Trent!
14:43Hell yeah!
14:47Hey, look, man.
14:49Let's talk about it.
14:50I've been doing a whole lot
14:51of thinking lately.
14:52Your head may be heavy,
14:55but on Saturday
14:55I'm coming back
14:56to get my crown, dog.
14:58Mr. Williams,
15:00you still talk like
15:02you're the man around here.
15:04You're not the man.
15:06What you are,
15:07because you are the only one
15:09who is still whooping that trick.
15:11Because you get one more chance
15:13to stand in the spotlight
15:14alongside with me.
15:16That will be your last time
15:17in the spotlight
15:17because when I'm done with you,
15:19it will be moving on as well.
15:20Still Chan whooped that trick
15:22around the world, dog.
15:23Let's talk about it.
15:24Whoop that trick!
15:25Whoop that trick!
15:26But, hey,
15:27over what you got.
15:28It takes more than a few
15:29Black Panther chants
15:31to get the man around here, dog.
15:32Believe that.
15:33Because it looks like
15:34you're struggling
15:34holding that thing
15:35since I let you have it.
15:36Help everybody else.
15:39Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
15:41Cut the music.
15:41Cut the music.
15:43Please shut your ass up.
15:45I guess the young OG
15:46was writing about
15:47Trent Williams
15:47a couple weeks ago.
15:49Like, if you're gonna talk,
15:50talk about something else.
15:52The ruler now.
15:54Real recognizers,
15:55real OG.
15:56You know what I mean?
15:57It's like you attract success.
16:00You walk into a room
16:01and everybody knows
16:02who you are.
16:03Because I didn't drop
16:03a regular wrestler, Oba.
16:05I dropped the NXT champion.
16:06Oba Femi will main event
16:08WrestleMania
16:09in a couple years.
16:10It's not if, Oba.
16:12It's when you get.
16:13I mean,
16:14come on, big O.
16:16Come on, champ.
16:17You're from the
16:18University of Alabama.
16:20Roll Tide.
16:22Roll Tide.
16:24This kid from North Carolina
16:26wasn't supposed to make it to WWE.
16:28You think you're the favorite
16:30for Saturday.
16:31But little do you know,
16:32bro, bro,
16:33that's the way I like it.
16:34Ladies and gentlemen,
16:35Javon Evans, everybody.
16:3720 years old.
16:38You've had a phenomenal rookie year.
16:40Isn't that right?
16:42And you're the future of this place.
16:43But like I said,
16:44this place does revolve around me.
16:47Because I have this,
16:48I'm the top dog.
16:49Because you are a child.
16:53Y'all get done hugging,
16:54giving compliments.
16:55We can talk about what matters.
16:56Neither you
16:57or you can touch me
16:59in this damn ring.
17:00The Outwrestle circle
17:01is around both of y'all.
17:02And that's facts.
17:05Uh-oh.
17:06Looks like the time for talk.
17:08Like a child.
17:09Here we go.
17:10It's breaking down.
17:12Our swing and away.
17:14So much harder today.
17:16Javon Goh!
17:17Oh!
17:18Evans has dropped the mode.
17:20He's playing with house money.
17:22On Wrestlemania Saturday,
17:24who stands and delivers.
