Speaker 1: Welcome to the NXT Podcast, your home for weekly NXT
Speaker 1: reviews and insight. The beautiful part of NXT is that
Speaker 1: when one dream ends, another dream begins. Find all of
Speaker 1: your NXT news recaps and analysis right here. So with
Speaker 1: that being said, we only have one question for you.
Speaker 1: Ah we thought, so let's get the show started right now.
Speaker 2: Heylor everyone, this is Jay to do your NXT deadline review.
Speaker 2: Deadline was last night, that would be December seventh, and
Speaker 2: let me say it was a really good pl even
Speaker 2: for MXT, which is saying something because I think he
Speaker 2: puts on banger ples generally speaking. I apologize for getting
Speaker 2: this done so late in the day to day, but
Speaker 2: haven't been feeling too well and I tried to do
Speaker 2: it before I head off to bed. I know, it's
Speaker 2: it's kind of early for me. Actually it's seven thirty,
Speaker 2: but I just need to get to bed soon. But
Speaker 2: I didn't want to go to bed without giving you
Speaker 2: my click quick thoughts on Deadline, which featured two Iron
Speaker 2: Survivor Challenge matches, a men's and a women's Iron Survivor
Speaker 2: Challenge match. And let me tell you this was it
Speaker 2: was interesting. There was a lot of interesting things going
Speaker 2: on with this. Number one, I did it in They
Speaker 2: did this ple in the Armory, a place called the
Speaker 2: Armory in Minneapolis, so excuse me. So if you remember
Speaker 2: on smack Down the other night, they were from the
Speaker 2: Target Center in Minneapolis, and they did the nxt PL
Speaker 2: from the Armory, which when I originally thought about, I
Speaker 2: thought of one of the TNA events they have where
Speaker 2: it's kind of small, but this Armory was actually really big.
Speaker 2: I mean it was the size of having to me,
Speaker 2: it looked the size of a small arena, So yeah,
Speaker 2: it was. It was really good PL. A couple of
Speaker 2: things I just want to mention off the top. Number
Speaker 2: one was I found the lineup fascinating. And if you
Speaker 2: if you know, I know, I've been saying that they've
Speaker 2: been they've been highlighting women way more than they've been
Speaker 2: highlighting the men lately, and this PL was a perfect
Speaker 2: example of that because they started this with the Men's
Speaker 2: Iron Survivor Challenge and ended it with the Women's Iron
Speaker 2: Survivor Challenge. And the reason why that's very significant is
Speaker 2: because they did the men's world title match between Trick
Speaker 2: Williams and Ridge Holland second to last, and they had
Speaker 2: the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge last they may event it
Speaker 2: main evented the night. To me, that is extremely significant
Speaker 2: and we're gonna talk more about that in the future.
Speaker 2: But but again, the like they they really are highlighting
Speaker 2: the women of NXT right now really much so. So Yeah,
Speaker 2: so before the before deadline started, Ava announced that because
Speaker 2: of the injury to Eddie Thorpe after the show was
Speaker 2: over on Tuesday, that he would not be competing in
Speaker 2: the Iron Survivor Challenge, but she didn't say who was
Speaker 2: going to be taking his spot. I think most people
Speaker 2: think heard that it was going to be one of
Speaker 2: the other three competitors in the Fatal four Way, but
Speaker 2: it wasn't so and I have to say, so let's
Speaker 2: get it, let's get into So the men's Irons if
Speaker 2: I ever challenged, was the first thing that the first
Speaker 2: thing that happened. The first two people to start were
Speaker 2: were Javon Yeah, Javon Evans and Wes Lee And can
Speaker 2: I just say, Javan Evans, if he's not now, will
Speaker 2: be a star someday. Javan Evans, the way he does
Speaker 2: the moves around the ring is just spectacular and I
Speaker 2: don't I definitely think you know that the kid's young,
Speaker 2: the kids like like eighteen nineteen years old. I apologize
Speaker 2: for the coughing, but unfortunately, like I said, I'm not
Speaker 2: feeling well. But he uh, he was in this and
Speaker 2: he deserved to be in this this year. But he
Speaker 2: definitely is going to win this or something big in
Speaker 2: the future. Javon Evans is he needs a boke up
Speaker 2: a little bit maybe, but generally speaking, he is or
Speaker 2: will be a star. That being said, so the next
Speaker 2: person to come down, So those two, those two fought
Speaker 2: for a while, and then the next person that comes
Speaker 2: down was, oh, I apologize to give me one second.
Speaker 2: So Wesley had the first fall and gained the first point.
Speaker 2: The third person to come down was Nathan Fraser, who
Speaker 2: I've said last week and if you watched it at all,
Speaker 2: you know he pulled double duty. He was in the
Speaker 2: Ironsavira Challenge as well as defending the NXT Tag Team titles,
Speaker 2: which we'll talk about later. But Nathan Fraser was a
Speaker 2: third person to come in, and um, so Wesley went
Speaker 2: for the frogs. It was yeah, Fraser had hit a
Speaker 2: spinning kick on Evans. There was just so much going
Speaker 2: on and eventually the clock counted down again. So just
Speaker 2: just to kind of I didn't say this before, just
Speaker 2: to kind of give a highlight, there's twenty five minutes total.
Speaker 2: Each person that starts with two people each. Another person
Speaker 2: comes down every five minutes. If you get a pinfull,
Speaker 2: you get a point or submission, and if you're the
Speaker 2: one to submit or get pinned, you have to go
Speaker 2: ninety seconds into a penalty box. So okay, After that,
Speaker 2: the next person to come in was Ethan Paige and
Speaker 2: Fraser ended up Nathan Fraser. Nathan Fraser ended up getting
Speaker 2: an insight cradle on Page eventually for a three count,
Speaker 2: and so Nathan Frasier now has a point. So now,
Speaker 2: and then Ethan Page went to the penalty box for
Speaker 2: ninety seconds and he just complained to complain about going,
Speaker 2: but eventually went in. Wesley tried to roll up on
Speaker 2: Fraser and got a two count. Eventually, Paige got out
Speaker 2: of the penalty box and hit a spinning splash on Lee.
Speaker 2: Paige went into the ring and hooked Frasier for the pinfall.
Speaker 2: So now Ethan Page has a point as well, and
Speaker 2: Fraser starts to get a bloody nose, and now as
Speaker 2: he's in the penalty box for ninety seconds. Match continued
Speaker 2: and went back and forth for a while with all
Speaker 2: four men and then the last fifth person came out. Now,
Speaker 2: the other day, I chose Ethan Page to win this
Speaker 2: to win the Iron Survivor Challenge, and probably would have
Speaker 2: been right. But I would have picked the surprise entrance
Speaker 2: of the Iron Survivor Challenge had he been announced beforehand.
Speaker 2: So the surprise entrance is Oba Femi. Olba Femi makes
Speaker 2: his return for the first time since Tony D'Angelo beat
Speaker 2: him for the second time, and he just he tore
Speaker 2: the house down. He absolutely tore the house down. Eventually
Speaker 2: gets a quick he had he had a quick pinfall.
Speaker 2: Uh so like so so Evans hit a form off
Speaker 2: top rope but it barely phased Evans. This is and
Speaker 2: then then Femi hit an upper cut to Evans for
Speaker 2: the pinfall. So like the uppercut that Oba Femi hit
Speaker 2: on Javon Evans was crazy, crazy, crazy crazy. So now
Speaker 2: Oba Femi has a point. So now everybody except Javon
Speaker 2: Evans has one point. Evans has zero. So again we
Speaker 2: go back. So Javan Evans goes in the penalty box.
Speaker 2: He comes out of the penalty box and Evans hit.
Speaker 2: When he came out of the penalty box, he hit
Speaker 2: a summer assault dive over the corner like he got
Speaker 2: some air like this one again, Javon Evans. If he's
Speaker 2: not today, he someday will be a star, a star.
Speaker 2: So Evans jumped off the top of at the cutter
Speaker 2: on on Wes Lee for a pin and so Javan
Speaker 2: Evans now is the point. So now all five guys
Speaker 2: have one point. Javan Evans battled Femi in the ring
Speaker 2: with some strikes. Fraser dropkicks Femi, leading too Evans and
Speaker 2: Fraser attacking Femi against turnbuckle. There were five minutes left
Speaker 2: in the match. Femi punched Fraser while he was on
Speaker 2: the top rope. Lee was out of the penalty box
Speaker 2: and then super kicked Femi and a trio of Evans,
Speaker 2: Fraser and Lee took turns kicking Femi, but Femi came
Speaker 2: back with clothes lines to knock him down and Femi
Speaker 2: hit a pop up powder bomb on Evan and Page
Speaker 2: snuck up from behind with a roll up of death
Speaker 2: to pin Femi and it worked. Now Ethan Page now
Speaker 2: has two points and now Femi Obafemi is in the
Speaker 2: penalty box. But Fraser then kicked, so so Obafemi goes
Speaker 2: in the penalty box. So then Fraser kicks Page and
Speaker 2: and then pins him and now Evans uh and now
Speaker 2: Ethan Page. So now Javon Evans has two points. Ethan Page,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, hold on a second Fraser superkick Page on
Speaker 2: the to pin on Evans, and then Evans did a
Speaker 2: crucifix pin on Page and it worked. So now Javon
Speaker 2: Evans now has two points because he crucifix pinned Ethan Page.
Speaker 2: And now Ethan Page has to go into the penalty
Speaker 2: box with Obafemi. This was hysterical. So Ethan Page is
Speaker 2: reluctant of course to go into the penalty box with
Speaker 2: Oba Femi and then goes and he let me tell you,
Speaker 2: I know I've said this before, I'll say it again.
Speaker 2: Ethan Page is such a good heel like I hope
Speaker 2: he like there was there was a vignette later on
Speaker 2: about how he felt bad about losing. I hope they
Speaker 2: do not turn him baby face because I have to
Speaker 2: tell you, von Or, Ethan Page is such a perfect
Speaker 2: heal the way he is so like he just I
Speaker 2: don't want to go in there. I don't want to
Speaker 2: go in there. Please don't make me go in there.
Speaker 2: And then he proceeds to get his ass kicked by Obafemi.
Speaker 2: It was just it was so good. He and Oba
Speaker 2: Femi just beat the kick crap out of him for
Speaker 2: like twenty seconds. Okay, so Oba Femi now has one point,
Speaker 2: and two guys have two points, and uh, two guys
Speaker 2: have one, so three guys have two one point. Two
Speaker 2: guys have two points. At the end of the match,
Speaker 2: everybody's back in the ring and eventually the the way
Speaker 2: the match ended was Obafemi who had one point. There's
Speaker 2: a double choke slam pins two guys at the same time,
Speaker 2: so there's two points and now has three and then
Speaker 2: the time ran out. So Oba Femi now won the
Speaker 2: Iron Survivor Challenge. And I have to tell you, Oba
Speaker 2: Femi versus Trick Williams is going to be freaking amazing.
Speaker 2: It's going to be freaking amazing. It was a really
Speaker 2: good Iron Survivor Challenge. No Shenanigans, it wasn't it wasn't there,
Speaker 2: there wasn't weapons involved. It was just good quality wrestling.
Speaker 2: And I always I always say My father's kind of
Speaker 2: like the barameter barometer, barometer for events, because he like,
Speaker 2: he doesn't like the over the top like war games
Speaker 2: with all the with all the he likes war games,
Speaker 2: but with all the weapons and things like the tables
Speaker 2: and everything, he just drives them nuts. But this was
Speaker 2: pure wrestling, like just pins and it was it was
Speaker 2: it was really good, like the Men Survivor Challenge was
Speaker 2: high quality. It was a good way to start to show.
Speaker 2: Then we had Lexus King outside walking the street. It's
Speaker 2: a freezing cold Minneapolis. He said that the city has
Speaker 2: a place in his heart because it's the city that
Speaker 2: he was left out the side of the road in
Speaker 2: the freezing cold and no role model to speak of.
Speaker 2: King said he was trying to prove he's not the
Speaker 2: same and he's different and he'll exceed beyond everything he did.
Speaker 2: Referring to his late father Brian Pilman, King said, he
Speaker 2: still struggles, but it's a fight worth fighting for and
Speaker 2: it's worth it to be out there and feeling the
Speaker 2: cold on his skin. King says, nothing feels better than
Speaker 2: the warm air of satisfaction. And that was it. So
Speaker 2: here's the thing, here's my issue with this whole thing. Um,
Speaker 2: for those of you that don't know, Lexus King is
Speaker 2: Brian Pilman junior, right, And when he was in AEW
Speaker 2: he was Brian Pilman Junior. Daba was his ring name.
Speaker 2: He came over to NXT, they changed his name to
Speaker 2: distance him from his father. Okay, but understandable, Like he
Speaker 2: wants to be out of the shadow of Brian Pillman,
Speaker 2: like I understand, And then they proceed to create a
Speaker 2: storyline all about him getting out of the shadow of
Speaker 2: his father, like or just don't talk about it, like
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't understand this whole concept, Like it
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense to me. So anyway, that's just
Speaker 2: that's just the thought that I had. I don't really
Speaker 2: understand why they're proceeding to this. I mean, I guess
Speaker 2: because they're trying to make him more of a babyface
Speaker 2: and less of a heel. But he's a great heel.
Speaker 2: Number one, number two, like, let's like to totally completed,
Speaker 2: completely reverse the concept of what they were trying to
Speaker 2: do in the first place. After that, you have no
Speaker 2: quarter catch crew getting ready. Zaria was was shown getting
Speaker 2: ready also by lifting a guard rail one of the
Speaker 2: metal guardrails as a warm up routine. And then there
Speaker 2: was a video package that aired about Jada Parker and
Speaker 2: Lolavice or the rivalry that was going on for a
Speaker 2: couple months. So then we have the Underground match next
Speaker 2: Underground between Jada Parker and Lol Device. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: get into the particulars of this match. The only thing
Speaker 2: I'll say is I don't understand. I don't understand the
Speaker 2: Underground match. I mean I do, I get it, but
Speaker 2: I don't. And you have people around the ring, which
Speaker 2: is weird because I mean, I understand why they have, well,
Speaker 2: you have three sides except the front side of the
Speaker 2: ring because you want people to be able to see
Speaker 2: what's going on. But it's so annoying the banging of
Speaker 2: the ring. And if you watched it, you know exactly
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. You got people around the ring
Speaker 2: because it's the underground they're trying to emulate some like
Speaker 2: warehouse match, but the whole time the people around the
Speaker 2: ring are just banging over and over again the ring.
Speaker 2: It's it's so annoying, like and and it wasn't even
Speaker 2: like they were doing straight up MMA, like there was soupplexes,
Speaker 2: there was body slams, like it was a wrestling match
Speaker 2: that like kind of focused a little bit or an
Speaker 2: MMA style, but generally it was a wrestling match without ropes.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, as I predicted, which
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised, Lola Ice won the match and she
Speaker 2: made her I think she made her fall aslike with
Speaker 2: a what the heck was it? Oh my god, I
Speaker 2: forgot what it was. It was a oh and a
Speaker 2: Conda mandic kind device, that's what it was, hand coind device.
Speaker 2: It was. I mean, overall, it was a good match,
Speaker 2: but it was just the concept of the match, regardless
Speaker 2: of the participants, but just it's just annoying, just annoying.
Speaker 2: After that match, and after the match, you also have
Speaker 2: a picture of a deject, dejected Jada Parker outside the
Speaker 2: ring and then Lola of Ice with her hand raised
Speaker 2: inside the ring. So that was really interesting. Which and
Speaker 2: again I think I've said this before, I love both
Speaker 2: of them. They're both gonna do great things. I hope
Speaker 2: eventually both of them will make it to the to
Speaker 2: the main roster. They'll they'll bring it. They'll both bring
Speaker 2: a lot to the main roster. Women's divisions, especially especially raw.
Speaker 2: Then there was another video about the end of Chase
Speaker 2: University and Stephanie vcor then get shown getting ready for
Speaker 2: the main event, and then the NXT Championship champions Axiom
Speaker 2: and Nathan Fraser were backstage talking about how they'll be fine,
Speaker 2: even though so Nathan Fraser, he was bloody. He got
Speaker 2: banged up a lot during this match during the Iron
Speaker 2: Survivor Challenge and now he has to go out and
Speaker 2: they didn't even separate the match a lot like like
Speaker 2: it was like it was like men's Iron Survivor Challenge
Speaker 2: and then the Underground and then he had to go
Speaker 2: back out again. So then we had so then the
Speaker 2: next thing we have is the tag team Champions Nathan
Speaker 2: Fraser and Axiom against the No Quarter Catch Grew of
Speaker 2: Miles Bourne and tv On Hikes. And this was a
Speaker 2: This was a decent match. This was a really good match.
Speaker 2: The end the ending drove me nuts though, so so
Speaker 2: Tavion and Miles. You'll get to their finishing move and
Speaker 2: super Axiom and I'm using that with quotes. Super Axiom
Speaker 2: kicks out of the finisher, which I know Matt has
Speaker 2: said this during his podcast during his episodes about how
Speaker 2: like when you when you and everybody kicks out of
Speaker 2: a finisher, it's just it just diminishes the finisher and
Speaker 2: like I don't And and then the worst part about
Speaker 2: it is so number one, you know, I I want
Speaker 2: I want Phraxium to fracture, like I don't. I want
Speaker 2: That's that was that was really cool. I want Phraxium
Speaker 2: to fracture. I want them, I want them to stop
Speaker 2: being champions. They need to put into on the real
Speaker 2: tag team. And Miles Born and Tavian Heights are a
Speaker 2: tag team like they're from a g they're from a group,
Speaker 2: they're from a faction, the No Quarter Catch Crew, and
Speaker 2: they would be good to item champions. And then we've
Speaker 2: got other people that were establishing now with the whole
Speaker 2: Battle Royal last week. But then Axiom kicks out of
Speaker 2: the finisher for Miles Bourn and Tavan Heights, and then
Speaker 2: the worst part about it is not more than a
Speaker 2: minute later, Axiom rolls up what is it uh? He
Speaker 2: rolls up Born with an inside cradle, Milesbourne with an
Speaker 2: inside cradle and gets the win at fifteen minutes and
Speaker 2: thirty seconds. It was a great match and the way
Speaker 2: the match ended, it just was I actually verbally oullowed
Speaker 2: to say, are you kidding me? I actually out loud
Speaker 2: said that while I was watching this with my father,
Speaker 2: and he started laughing because he knows too, like I
Speaker 2: just those two were singles wrestlers that happened to be good,
Speaker 2: good as a tag team, but they need to like focus,
Speaker 2: they need to focus. All right, it was a good
Speaker 2: match though overall was good, really good. Then we had
Speaker 2: uh John Evans interviewed by Sarah Schreiber saying that he
Speaker 2: needed he needed two more seconds to win the Iron
Speaker 2: Survivor Challenge, and Wesley interrupted by saying by saying Evans
Speaker 2: as acting like a fool after his loss to Oma Femy.
Speaker 2: Evans said that Lee was salty, and Lee said that
Speaker 2: one day he'll be just like him. Evan said you
Speaker 2: think so and punched, and so Lee punched Evans and
Speaker 2: security showed up to break it up. So they're gonna
Speaker 2: there's gonna be eventually a Evans Javan Evans Wesley match,
Speaker 2: which will be will be fabulous. I'm not like so.
Speaker 2: The next the next special event for NXT is New
Speaker 2: Year's Evil, and that's where the champions will go against
Speaker 2: the Iron Survivor Winners, which I guess is from It's
Speaker 2: from a special Look Los Angeles from Los Angeles, and
Speaker 2: it's gonna be it's gonna be good good. I think
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a really good event. So next we
Speaker 2: have so now the fourth, second last match, we have
Speaker 2: the NXT Championship. The NXT Championship was not the main
Speaker 2: event of this PLA. That is huge, and I hope
Speaker 2: to find out more information about that for you between
Speaker 2: now and probably not Tuesday, you know, from probably not
Speaker 2: Wednesday's podcast, but I'll probably be like the week after
Speaker 2: because they're really focusing a lot on the women. Again,
Speaker 2: I know I keep saying it, but it's true. So
Speaker 2: so we've got them their match. So their match was
Speaker 2: really good. I mean, Trick Williams is palling all all
Speaker 2: the old Booker T moves and actually I think Booker
Speaker 2: T one time said he actually did a bookend. Of course,
Speaker 2: the side leg kicker that he does, that's a lah
Speaker 2: Booker T as well. I mean it's just it's all
Speaker 2: book Booker T's old stuff. But he does it well.
Speaker 2: He does it like Booker T did back in w
Speaker 2: c W and he's you know, he's he's over with
Speaker 2: the crowd. The crowd loves him. You know. I hope,
Speaker 2: I hope that there's a possibility that he's in the
Speaker 2: Royald Rumble, like like last year Roxanne Perez was in
Speaker 2: the Royal Rumble and Tiffany Stratton. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that he should stay in the man main roster
Speaker 2: right now, but I think that I think I'd love
Speaker 2: to hear the pop. I'd love to hear all of Uh.
Speaker 2: I was about to say the who's your dome? Oh
Speaker 2: my god, all of Lucas Oil Stadium starts saying, whoop
Speaker 2: that trick? That'll be great. So anyway, this was a
Speaker 2: this was a really good match and went back and forth.
Speaker 2: It was. It was pretty long too. It was fifteen
Speaker 2: minutes or fifty one seconds. So it was a fairly
Speaker 2: decent match. Uh And at the end, uh trick Williams
Speaker 2: hit the spinning kick and then the trick shot knee knee,
Speaker 2: you know, the trick shot the knee I needa he
Speaker 2: does to get the pinfall wins trick. Williams is still
Speaker 2: your n XT champion, as I appreciate it. So I'm
Speaker 2: doing pretty good. So far even though, like again, if
Speaker 2: Obafemi was announced ahead of time, I would have picked him,
Speaker 2: like I absolutely would have picked Obafemi. But I did.
Speaker 2: I did get Lola right, I did get well, you
Speaker 2: know what, I actually, I actually get the Tag Team
Speaker 2: Champions wrong? I won? Who admitted when I get it wrong? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I got the Tag Team Champions wrong. I guess. I
Speaker 2: guess it was more more of a hope than a prediction,
Speaker 2: I guess, but I did. I did think Trick wa.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going They're not taking the time
Speaker 2: off of Trick Williams anytime soon. He right now is
Speaker 2: is the face of the of the CW n XT
Speaker 2: for now. Eventually that will change, but I think for now, overall,
Speaker 2: it was a solid match, something special, but it was.
Speaker 2: It was a it was a decent match, I think.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Rich Holland's is just Rich Holland
Speaker 2: is just clunky, you know, I don't know, that's just me.
Speaker 2: So then we've got Ethan Page in the back saying
Speaker 2: it took him four matches to become NXT champion, and
Speaker 2: they turn nxten NX me and you like he does
Speaker 2: the pointing to his face Paige recapped what happened and
Speaker 2: was frustrated, saying that he dropped the ball again, and
Speaker 2: Page said it took him eighteen years to get here
Speaker 2: to win the championship. Excuse me, and Paige said it
Speaker 2: also took him eighteen years to figure out that that
Speaker 2: he has no clue how to get back there, and
Speaker 2: he walked away frustrated again. Please don't turn him, babyface.
Speaker 2: He is, to me, the quintessential heel of n XT,
Speaker 2: quintessential heel of the next They announced some matches for Tuesday.
Speaker 2: They announced gig Doan Tatum Pasi versus j C Jane
Speaker 2: and Jasmine nix Oh, but Femi will address the NXT
Speaker 2: universe as the Iron Survivor Champion. And then they also
Speaker 2: announced that Wesley and Javon Evans will go one on one.
Speaker 2: So there's a video page for the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge.
Speaker 2: This then we had the actual Women's Irons Favor Challenge.
Speaker 2: This started out with This started out with Julia and
Speaker 2: Ren Sinclair. Now Ren Sinclair, I said the other day
Speaker 2: when I made my prediction, I picked Stephanie Vacora, And
Speaker 2: I said the other day that Ren Sinclair, you could
Speaker 2: throw her out. As far as predictions goes, there's no
Speaker 2: way she's winning this. And I was right. Ren Sinclair
Speaker 2: was the getting pinned machine. She out of She was
Speaker 2: pinned at least three or four times. I think maybe
Speaker 2: four times. I think once by each person. Actually I
Speaker 2: started out with Julia ren Sinclair. Eventually after five minutes,
Speaker 2: so Ruca comes out as number three. And so Ruka
Speaker 2: was on fire, hitting board attacks and power slams and
Speaker 2: she was she was just on fire. When she got in.
Speaker 2: Ren Sinclair did a lot of running around and trying
Speaker 2: to avoid things and then jumping in. You know something
Speaker 2: that Ren Sinclair should do. That's that's that's her stick,
Speaker 2: and that's okay. So eventually Ren rolled up Julia for
Speaker 2: a two count. Julie hit a Northern Lights power bomb
Speaker 2: on ren for the pinfall. So Julia has one point
Speaker 2: and Ren Sinclair is now in the pamphty box. Zaria
Speaker 2: was the next person to come down, and she doubles
Speaker 2: suplex Julie and sol Ruka. Julia head but in Zaria
Speaker 2: and then did a she Silberka did a double soul
Speaker 2: snatcher on Julia and Zaria and both women rolled out
Speaker 2: of the ring. And then when Ren when came back
Speaker 2: into the ring, So hit her with a soul snatcher
Speaker 2: for the pin. So basically Rent Sinclair came in after
Speaker 2: a couple of seconds, she got hit with the snaw
Speaker 2: snatcher and she had to go right back into the
Speaker 2: penalty box. So now Julia and soul Ruka both have
Speaker 2: a point. It was poor Renson clear. I kept I
Speaker 2: kept looking at my father, just going poor Rensing clear. Again.
Speaker 2: One of these things is not like the other, like
Speaker 2: it's it's really like she's just she was out of
Speaker 2: her element, like she was great. She's like a She's
Speaker 2: like a Chelsea green Light. I call that like a
Speaker 2: Chelsea green light as far as the way she you know,
Speaker 2: the way her character is. But there was no way
Speaker 2: she was winning this thing anyway. The last person to
Speaker 2: come out is Stephanie Vecaier, and she did. She went
Speaker 2: on an attack right away. Eventually we get to Zaria
Speaker 2: hitting a spinning slam off the shoulders of Julia for
Speaker 2: her first fall. So Julia now has so Zaria has
Speaker 2: one point. Action's fast paced with soul so Ruka, Vikur
Speaker 2: and Wrend exchanging moves. Uh so Hi Ruka hit double
Speaker 2: knees on Vicaire. Zoria was on the top rope and
Speaker 2: hit a moon sawt onto, both opponents standing up, and
Speaker 2: then Julia was out. The got Julia got out of
Speaker 2: the penalty box because she was in there because Zaria
Speaker 2: pinned her hit a running cake on Zaria. It just
Speaker 2: kept going back and forth, strikes, back and forth. So
Speaker 2: eventually so rucas Uh splashed on a Julia and then
Speaker 2: hit a German suplex. Wren went after Vicaire, who then
Speaker 2: encountered a move leading to a pen pinfall. So now
Speaker 2: Ren Sinclair is pinned again by Stephanie, and now Stephanie
Speaker 2: has a point and Ren is back in the penalty box.
Speaker 2: So now all four women have one point and Ren
Speaker 2: Sinclair has zero. So gott to row up on the
Speaker 2: care Vicaire went for a kick by the rope. Sol
Speaker 2: broke free and hit a springboard somersault clothesline for a
Speaker 2: two count. There was only one minute left when Ren
Speaker 2: got a son so a flip on so for a
Speaker 2: pinfall with forty seconds left. So now Wren has a point.
Speaker 2: So now all five have one point. About thirty seconds left,
Speaker 2: everybody has one point and Wren did a cradle on
Speaker 2: Vicor for a two count. The car was back in
Speaker 2: the ring with a double spear on Wren In Seclaire
Speaker 2: and Zari hit a spinning slam off the shoulders like
Speaker 2: the F five that brock Lesner does. Julia was back
Speaker 2: in the ring and Zaria with a running bear on.
Speaker 2: Zaria called Arivederci and Julia got the pinfall win. So
Speaker 2: now Julia has two points and Kier rows up Julia
Speaker 2: for two but Cara tries another move, but time ran
Speaker 2: out and then ended the match at twenty five minutes
Speaker 2: with Julia getting the win. So Julia is your woman's
Speaker 2: Iron Survivor winner. Who I mentioned I'm sick, I'm doing
Speaker 2: pretty good considering. Yeah, this is a great match. The
Speaker 2: women deserve to be last. It was definitely the match
Speaker 2: of the night, back and forth, just just innovative wrestling. Uh,
Speaker 2: Like you know, it was great to have Ren there
Speaker 2: to become the foil Julia, Stephanie and like to me,
Speaker 2: it was Julius, Stephanie and Zara, which was like the
Speaker 2: A the A leaguers. You got Soroka who's like B
Speaker 2: and then you've got Ren Sinclair which is like C.
Speaker 2: And it worked out that way like sol Ruka showed
Speaker 2: her stuff. I almost I almost said it, so Ruco
Speaker 2: really showed her stuff. She and again she will be
Speaker 2: she gota woke up a bit. She will she will
Speaker 2: be a star as well. Stephanie Julian Zaria are already stars.
Speaker 2: And basically the question was which of those three women
Speaker 2: it would would win the Irons Favor Challenge. And to me,
Speaker 2: any three of them would have won, could have won,
Speaker 2: and they did. It was Julia again, I showed Stephanie
Speaker 2: I was wrong. So what one of the one of
Speaker 2: the right people won the match. And then there's Ren
Speaker 2: Saint Clair who was great in the role that she did.
Speaker 2: And to be honest, I Rent Saint Clair came out
Speaker 2: of this match with my admiration. I like her more
Speaker 2: now than I did prior to the match for what
Speaker 2: it's worth, and I'll and I'll pay more and I'm
Speaker 2: actually gonna pay more attention to Ren Saint Clair as
Speaker 2: a result of this. So you know what, it did
Speaker 2: its job. Yeah, So that was it. Overall. Like I said,
Speaker 2: I give give the show an absolute thumbs up. I
Speaker 2: think of all the matches, I would say the match
Speaker 2: that bugged me the most was the underground match, only
Speaker 2: because again the slamming of the ring the entire time,
Speaker 2: like it was hard to pay attention. It drove me
Speaker 2: nuts when Nathan Frazier and Axiom won again, especially on
Speaker 2: an inside creatle small package. I mean, come on, please,
Speaker 2: let's move on. Please, Like they've had the titles now
Speaker 2: three times in the last year, and they made this
Speaker 2: whole big deal about the all the tag teams beating
Speaker 2: the crap out of each other and having the Battle
Speaker 2: Royal just for them to lose. I don't get it.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Matches absolute thumbs up. Both of them were great,
Speaker 2: and the the NXT title match was really good. And
Speaker 2: it looks like now Trick Williams will go against Obafemi,
Speaker 2: which I think a lot of us really wanted to see,
Speaker 2: and to be honest, I honestly think that Obafemi will
Speaker 2: be the next NXT champion. That's that's my prediction early.
Speaker 2: I may think differently in a few weeks when New
Speaker 2: Year's Evil comes around, but for now, I will be
Speaker 2: shocked if I wouldn't be shocked if oh if Emi
Speaker 2: won the NXT title on New Year's Evil, which we'll
Speaker 2: talk about when that comes out, and in the meantime,
