Speaker 2: another dream begins.

Speaker 3: So with that being said, we only have one question
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 2: Ah who we thought?
Speaker 1: So let's get the show started right now.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, this is Jay. This is your NXT review
Speaker 2: for Tuesday, March twenty fifth, twenty five. Just checking in
Speaker 2: with you guys, see what you thought of it and
Speaker 2: give you my thoughts. And I just kind of, you know,
Speaker 2: do my doing my weekly thing. Hope you guys are
Speaker 2: out there. Please let me know if you're listening.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't really have a lot of feedback. So you
Speaker 2: really like it, you just don't have anything bad to say,
Speaker 2: or you really don't and I'm just not hearing from you,
Speaker 2: or you're.
Speaker 3: Just not listening. So anyway, let me know what you think.
Speaker 3: I really want to know. Matt says.
Speaker 2: We get a bunch of people listening, really excited about that,
Speaker 2: but I want to hear from you.
Speaker 3: Today.
Speaker 2: We talk about the the annext episode on the twenty
Speaker 2: fifth of March, and I have to say it was
Speaker 2: pretty good. I don't think they're going on the road
Speaker 2: again anytime soon between now and Stand and Deliver, which
Speaker 2: will be in Vegas. But uh, but for for an
Speaker 2: episode where it just was in the performance center and
Speaker 2: it wasn't oh well, I I didn't think. I wasn't
Speaker 2: expecting a whole heck of a lot of things to happen.
Speaker 3: It was. It was.
Speaker 2: It was a really good show, a bunch of a
Speaker 2: bunch of good matches, and we're gonna go through them
Speaker 2: one at a time as we always do, and I'll
Speaker 2: give you some thoughts and again I want to hear
Speaker 2: your thoughts, tell me what you think. Sorry, if this
Speaker 2: sounds a little loft tonight, I don't have my microphone handy,
Speaker 2: so I am doing this from my cell phone, which
Speaker 2: usually I do, but I usually have a microphone.
Speaker 3: Attached, so I apologize.
Speaker 2: So today so we're talking about, like I said, the
Speaker 2: NXT form three twenty three, twenty five.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: It is from the Porn Performance Center in Winter Park, Florida.
Speaker 2: Your commentators are Vic, Joseph Booker, T and a returning
Speaker 2: Corey Graves who did Monday Night Raw last week so
Speaker 2: he could make it back for NXT this week, last
Speaker 2: week before and then the ring announcer is Mike Rome.
Speaker 3: Right out of the gate.
Speaker 2: The first match is for the NXT Women's Championship, and
Speaker 2: it is Stephanie Vacare who. Now, for those of you
Speaker 2: that don't know, which I can't imagine you wouldn't know. Uh,
Speaker 2: Stephanie now is the w the NXT Women's Champion and
Speaker 2: the NXT North American Women's Champion, and tonight she had
Speaker 2: to defend both titles, the NXT Women's Championship against Jada
Speaker 2: Parker and the North American Women's Championship against Fallen Henley.
Speaker 3: And last week I had said.
Speaker 2: That I believe, in order to kind of relieve her
Speaker 2: from having both titles, that they would probably have fallon
Speaker 2: Henley win the North American title with some shenanigans. But
Speaker 2: there were shenanigans, but we'll.
Speaker 3: Talk about how the how how the match ended later on.
Speaker 3: So first match is for the NXT Women's Title.
Speaker 2: It is stephanievick Hair versus Jada Parker. And again I
Speaker 2: said this last week and I'm gonna say it again,
Speaker 2: Jada Parker is really good.
Speaker 3: She's really good.
Speaker 2: She's not on the not nearly on the level of Stephanie,
Speaker 2: nor is she on the level of Jordan Grace, who
Speaker 2: last week she attacked as well. So let's let's talk
Speaker 2: about this match. It was like I said it was,
Speaker 2: it was a really good match. Jada's Jada, Stephanie is Stephanie.
Speaker 2: I mean, Stephanie is incredible. At the end of the match,
Speaker 2: we've got uh, Stephanie kicking Jada in the face. Stephanie
Speaker 2: imply applies the rope assisted arm bar Uh, then with
Speaker 2: a springboard cross body block for care, then with a
Speaker 2: tiger fank kick.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Stephanie and wraps her legs around Jada's neck and repeatedly
Speaker 2: drives her. You know, I think that she does it
Speaker 2: when she drives the opponent and hint the match to
Speaker 2: Dad with her two or ten times. Jada then hits
Speaker 2: a knee lift and then the Falcon arrow for a
Speaker 2: two count. Jada then goes for the Dragon Sleeper, but
Speaker 2: Vakiera lands back on her feet. Jada then reverses out
Speaker 2: of the Irish ship from from Stephanie and Stephanie hits
Speaker 2: a spinebuster. Jada then slaps Vicar in the chest.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Jada delivers the tear drop and she gets distracted by
Speaker 2: Jordan Grace who comes out.
Speaker 3: UH.
Speaker 2: Parker then turns around punches Stephanie UH. Jada then goes
Speaker 2: for the hypnotic, but Vicare rolls her up to pick
Speaker 2: up the victory. So not much in the way of
Speaker 2: Shenanigan's Jordan Grace. They come out and distracted Jada, but
Speaker 2: didn't actually get involved physically in the match, which you
Speaker 2: would expect. And after the match, then Jada gets into
Speaker 2: a brawl with with Jordan Grace and then Vallen Henley
Speaker 2: comes out and attacks Stephanie from behind. UH Fatal Influence
Speaker 2: gangs up on Stephanie and Jacy Jane hits her with
Speaker 2: three running.
Speaker 3: Sent on bombs, so.
Speaker 2: That could or could not come into play later on.
Speaker 2: We did find out after the match that Stephanie went
Speaker 2: to medical had some issues with her mid section, but
Speaker 2: the doctor didn't say she couldn't wrestle, so she is
Speaker 2: planning on. She was planning on still with defending the
Speaker 2: North American Women's.
Speaker 3: Title later on.
Speaker 2: Then we've got Trick who doesn't who know. Javon Evans
Speaker 2: comes in. He doesn't want to hear anything from Javon Evans.
Speaker 2: Javon didn't appreciate how Trick tossed him aside last week,
Speaker 2: and Trick says that Javan still doesn't get it. Because
Speaker 2: they're from the Carolinas doesn't mean that they're brothers.
Speaker 3: Trick Trick, Trick has been kind of a.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't it's a PG show, so I
Speaker 2: guess I can't say it. He's he's been mean to Javon.
Speaker 2: It's almost like he's heel turning without a heel turn.
Speaker 2: I've heard other people say that that maybe Trick is
Speaker 2: the leader of the Dark State, which will come about
Speaker 2: at some point. I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 2: To be honest, I don't really know if they need that,
Speaker 2: if any if either of them need it, to be honest,
Speaker 2: but uh, we'll see how that plays out anyway.
Speaker 3: Trick so focused has been a standard deliver in Oba. Feme.
Speaker 2: If Trick has been so focused on Oba for the
Speaker 2: last four months, why did it take Jovon one week
Speaker 2: to drop him. Javan says that Trick can continue to
Speaker 2: doubt him, but he's going to shock him. Trick knows
Speaker 2: that Javan has potential, but it's one thing to have potential,
Speaker 2: another thing to have the title and everybody can hold
Speaker 2: that title up in the air. Javan thought him and
Speaker 2: Trick were cool, but the NFXC Championship has made Trick
Speaker 2: turn to somebody else in that.
Speaker 3: Of course, I agree with that.
Speaker 2: Trick says that he that it's a championship thing and
Speaker 2: Javan won't understand it, and Javon says that he will understand
Speaker 2: by the end of the night. For those of you
Speaker 2: that don't know, it was Javon Evans against Lexus King
Speaker 2: for the Heritage Cup Championship, So we'll talk about that. Oh,
Speaker 2: Punk is gonna be the very is the very first
Speaker 2: guest on Stephanie's Places, which is on ESPN Plus, Disney
Speaker 2: Plus and Hulu, And I just reminded myself that it's on,
Speaker 2: So actually, as soon as I'm done with this, I'm
Speaker 2: going to watch it because literally see him Punk from
Speaker 2: what the From what the preview seems, Cmpunk.
Speaker 3: Talks a lot about. We'll talk to the one part
Speaker 3: he talks about was the.
Speaker 2: Process of coming back to the WWE, which I find fascinating,
Speaker 2: So we'll look at that.
Speaker 3: I want to watch that later.
Speaker 2: Last legend tells Ava that she's not happy that Gigi
Speaker 2: Dolan and Tatum PACs are getting a shot at the
Speaker 2: TNA Knockouts tag team titles when it should be the
Speaker 2: Meta Girls.
Speaker 3: Gigi says that maybe.
Speaker 2: Ava is getting tired of giving the Meta Girls title opportunities.
Speaker 2: Tatum says that they're going to bring back the TNA
Speaker 2: and that got the titled NXT, and Jakara Jackson blames
Speaker 2: Dolan and Pasi for stealing their tag team opportunity. Tensions
Speaker 2: can need to rise, and they were bound. There's bound
Speaker 2: to see be a match between both teams.
Speaker 3: I'm sure.
Speaker 2: Then there's an interview with Ricky Saints. It's an empty
Speaker 2: one of those empty arena interviews, so I'm guessing it happened,
Speaker 2: you know, before the show. So they sit down with
Speaker 2: each other and Vic Joseph and Ricky Saint success is
Speaker 2: down with each other. I'm going through all the stuff
Speaker 2: between Ricky and Vic Joseph because halfway through the interview,
Speaker 2: the interview gets interrupted and Sewan Spears comes out and
Speaker 2: he says I'll take it from here, and Vic Joseph says,
Speaker 2: you know, leaves, and Sean Spears says, leave, relax, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna sit down please. We've known each other talking to Ricky.
Speaker 2: We've known each other for a long time. Happened we
Speaker 2: rick And Ricky says too long?
Speaker 3: Too long?
Speaker 2: Sean Spears says, yeah, So why do you Why don't
Speaker 2: you think I asked you to be in the culling?
Speaker 2: By the way, the culling, I don't get it. I'll
Speaker 2: look that up at some point, maybe I'll figure out
Speaker 2: what it means.
Speaker 3: But so Sean says, why didn't I ask you to
Speaker 3: be in the culling?
Speaker 2: And Sean says, because you knew I would tell you no.
Speaker 2: And then Sewan Spears says, that's what I thought.
Speaker 3: No. Remember the conversation we.
Speaker 2: Had in Philly, the one not too long ago. Actually,
Speaker 2: how many times, Ricky, did I have to tell you
Speaker 2: to talk to you off a metaphorical ledge? Times when
Speaker 2: you didn't believe in yourself, all the advice that I've
Speaker 2: given you over the years, And now the reason I
Speaker 2: didn't ask you is because, sadly, you're in the same
Speaker 2: You're still the same guy that I left over a
Speaker 2: year ago. Nothing has changed, And this arrogance of yours
Speaker 2: is a plague everywhere you go, and everywhere you go,
Speaker 2: all you do is create a nice long line of enemies, Ricky,
Speaker 2: and it's all you're doing. So Ricky says, Wow, you
Speaker 2: know what's so weird about that is you don't understand
Speaker 2: the fact that if you want to be number one XTORWWE,
Speaker 2: you're going to make some enemies. Then Sean says, oh,
Speaker 2: I've heard the same thing throughout my career. Do you
Speaker 2: want to make friends or do you want to make money?
Speaker 2: The actual point, that's actually my point with you. It's
Speaker 2: actually my point. Look at me, Ricky, I am champion
Speaker 2: here in the WWE, and I have three of my
Speaker 2: best friends who I consider family right beside me. And
Speaker 2: then they come out and stand beside him, and Ricky says,
Speaker 2: the reason why you have a champ And they're the
Speaker 2: reason why you have a champ And I'm going to
Speaker 2: be the reason why I take it from you. You
Speaker 2: get that, Sean says, you're coming for this championship and
Speaker 2: you're sure that you want to do that, even though
Speaker 2: you and I both know both damn well know that
Speaker 2: the outcome is what the outcome is going to be.
Speaker 2: And don't add me to that long list of enemies.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm capable of. In case you don't
Speaker 2: work out here. You can always go back. Never mind,
Speaker 2: we both know you've burnt every bridge, don't we And
Speaker 2: that was.
Speaker 3: A reference to AEW.
Speaker 2: So the two of them were in AW and Ricky
Speaker 2: can't go back, and neither can shown Spirits nor the
Speaker 2: Kenethan Page.
Speaker 3: I mean, none of them really can. I mean maybe
Speaker 3: they can.
Speaker 2: I don't know the dynamics, but you know, there's a
Speaker 2: reason why they all left. And I don't know of
Speaker 2: one individual maybe ONRA day. I don't know of one
Speaker 2: individual that has come over from AEW.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Granted and Rode came back, but that has gotten a
Speaker 2: bad push, especially the guys in NXT. But then there's Cody.
Speaker 2: Obviously he didn't get a bad push. He got the
Speaker 2: best push you got, Sean Spears Ethan Page. Ricky saints,
Speaker 2: they're all getting pushes. Naomi, well, Diama came from DNA,
Speaker 2: but still she got a push. She's getting a push now.
Speaker 2: Took her a little while, but she's there. So yeah,
Speaker 2: So Ricky says, well, I guess I better win.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 2: Then we go to the locker room where Dyson DuPont
Speaker 2: and Tyreek Igway are poking fun at Ricky Saint's decision
Speaker 2: decision making. Wesley then says sooner says that sooner or later,
Speaker 2: Ricky Saints will realize he is not the guy around here,
Speaker 2: and then Cale Dixon says that Ricky is pulling an
Speaker 2: Ethan Page right now. Page then threatens to knock out
Speaker 2: Dixon in two seconds. Page says that Andre Chase should
Speaker 2: be should teach Dixon and Eriah Connors that their words
Speaker 2: have consequences. Page actually forgot that Chase she is closed.
Speaker 2: Then Chase says that maybe he should teach him about
Speaker 2: a sensitive guys like Page that can't handle the truth,
Speaker 2: and then Page responds and we'll see and walks away.
Speaker 3: Then we've got a really.
Speaker 2: Quick thing about with the MotorCity machine guns kind of
Speaker 2: hugging Hanking Tank, like I'm guessing there was something on
Speaker 2: social media between the four of them, but I didn't
Speaker 2: see it. And then they just kind of hugged him before,
Speaker 2: but hugged Hanking Tank before they went out, and so
Speaker 2: that that does does come back coming back around later on.
Speaker 2: So the second match we have is Hanking Tank versus
Speaker 2: DuPont and uh Tyson, Dupot and.
Speaker 3: Tyreek away with Wesley and I don't know.
Speaker 2: Uh, these guys, all four of them are just okay.
Speaker 2: This is this is an example of not every match
Speaker 2: can be good. I know what they're trying to do
Speaker 2: with Hank and Tank, but it's it's kind of annoying.
Speaker 2: Uh that's just my own personal opinion. And now they
Speaker 2: have Hank in Tank on this lose. So Hanking Tank
Speaker 2: did end up losing. They're trying these new things now
Speaker 2: to make themselves better, but it just ends up giving
Speaker 2: them and the ends up having them lose. But yeah,
Speaker 2: Hank in Tank they end up taking the loss to uh,
Speaker 2: Tyson and Tyreek.
Speaker 3: Okay, oops one second.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, my website messed up and I am trying
Speaker 2: to get it back up, so I apologize.
Speaker 3: To give me one second.
Speaker 2: I have nothing against Hank and Tank specifically, nor the
Speaker 2: nor the other the Tang teams aside from Phraxium, the
Speaker 2: Tag teams and Nix.
Speaker 3: He just stink. They're not good. They need more more,
Speaker 3: they need more.
Speaker 2: It's going on to something happened on my internet that
Speaker 2: would really stink. All right, I think I got back
Speaker 2: up and working. Now let's let's resume. So after that,
Speaker 2: we have a backstage interview with Fraxium and Sarah Schreiver.
Speaker 2: Sarah asked Axiom how he felt about felt to push
Speaker 2: gun through to its limits a couple.
Speaker 3: Of weeks ago on SmackDown.
Speaker 2: Axiom says was a dream come true in his home
Speaker 2: country and it's a moment that he'll never forget. Fraser,
Speaker 2: passively aggressive, aggressively passive aggressively points out that he wasn't
Speaker 2: invited to Spain for that moment, and Axiom tells Fraser
Speaker 2: that I was supposed to be a surprise, but Fraser
Speaker 2: has a big mouth and he wouldn't be able to
Speaker 2: control himself. Fraser then said that he was in Barcelona.
Speaker 2: If he was in Barcelona, maybe Axiom would have won
Speaker 2: that match. And Axium looks at the Titan trying Joba
Speaker 2: Emi arriving to the PC parking lot and he is
Speaker 2: not happy. So the third match we have u is
Speaker 2: Lexus King versus Javon Evans for the w w E
Speaker 2: NXT Heritage Cup Championship. Uh, this was a really good match.
Speaker 2: Lexus King put on a show. Jevan Evans, I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, come on like this guy like I I
Speaker 2: will if somebody said you can only watch two people
Speaker 2: on NXT for the rest of your life.
Speaker 3: Who would it be?
Speaker 2: It would be Stephanie Vacer and it would be Javon Evans.
Speaker 2: Javon Evans is so good. He's so good at the
Speaker 2: things that he does. He's fluid, still tiny but like
Speaker 2: like skinny, but he just the things that he does,
Speaker 2: like it's it's like a video game. Like it's like
Speaker 2: it's like watching someone play a video game. At the
Speaker 2: end of the match, though, they're going back and forth
Speaker 2: and Obafemi comes out while Javan Evans is on the
Speaker 2: floor by the entranceway, Oba picks the referee gets distracted
Speaker 2: by Lexis King, and Oba picks up Javon Evans and
Speaker 2: dwevers a fall from Grace power bomb on the apron
Speaker 2: and hey, did you know? Did you know that the
Speaker 2: apron is the hardest part of the ring.
Speaker 3: Did you know that? They?
Speaker 2: Did you also know that bron Breaker runs the ropes
Speaker 2: twenty three miles an hour? Did you know that too?
Speaker 2: They say the same things over and over again, although
Speaker 2: I noticed, I noticed Michael Cole hasn't been saying the
Speaker 2: whole bron Breaker twenty three miles an hour thing, So
Speaker 2: maybe we've gotten past that. I don't know anyway, after
Speaker 2: that happens, referee counts ten and javan Evans gets counted out,
Speaker 2: and then Oba continues to just beat the crap out
Speaker 2: of jovan Evans. So and then as there as Javon
Speaker 2: and Oba are in the ring, dark State comes out.
Speaker 3: So lights go out, Dark.
Speaker 2: State's lights go up, and Trick comes out wild so
Speaker 2: and by the way, Oba and javan Evans, they didn't
Speaker 2: they didn't even pay any nevermind to the fact that
Speaker 2: Dark State is standing out.
Speaker 3: They're just standing there.
Speaker 2: And and and then Trick comes in and looks like
Speaker 2: he's trying to give a trick shot to Oba Femi,
Speaker 2: but he actually misses and gives it to javan Evans,
Speaker 2: who then wipes out out of the ring. Between the
Speaker 2: ring and the re announcing raining ring announcers, not the
Speaker 2: ring announcers, the commentators. So needless to say, it looks
Speaker 2: like they're building, maybe building to a triple threat. Okay,
Speaker 2: So if I was to guess, if I was, if
Speaker 2: I was not to guess, okay, not to guess.
Speaker 3: If I was.
Speaker 2: To say, this is what I would like to happen.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying this knowing that the men's division in
Speaker 2: NXT is not nearly as stacked.
Speaker 3: As a woman's division.
Speaker 2: Okay, but because we do have four new guys coming in,
Speaker 2: So that's so anyway, I'm sorry, let me go back.
Speaker 2: So what I would hope that would happen is at
Speaker 2: Stand and Deliver, Javon Evans would win the NXT title,
Speaker 2: but Oba and Trick would then go up to the
Speaker 2: main roster.
Speaker 3: Oba and Trick.
Speaker 2: Are both at the point now where they can graduate.
Speaker 2: And I know oba hasn't been around for very long,
Speaker 2: but He's at the point now where he I think
Speaker 2: that he would give a run for the money, to
Speaker 2: run for his money to most everybody. And by the way,
Speaker 2: Trick and start in the mid card with you know,
Speaker 2: going against Carmelo and Andrade and the other guys or whatever,
Speaker 2: depending on what Brandy's on, Oba needs to come up
Speaker 2: and start right at the top. I want him to
Speaker 2: come up and see Seth Rollins and beat the crap
Speaker 2: out of him. I want him when Bronson, uh Bronson
Speaker 2: reed comes back, I want I want to see Bronson, please,
Speaker 2: even in just a one shot match Oba Femi versus
Speaker 2: Bronz Stroman. Like, there's so many things, granted, I know
Speaker 2: these aren't These aren't high level that I'm saying, but
Speaker 2: like he like he's ready.
Speaker 3: The man is ready. It's like please like his presence,
Speaker 3: his aura, the way he the way he.
Speaker 2: Just just destroys people elegantly.
Speaker 3: Like it's not like bron.
Speaker 2: Stroman destroys people, but bron Stroman destroys people clumsily. But
Speaker 2: Obai does it with finesse. They just they just need
Speaker 2: to they need to move forward with both of them.
Speaker 2: So in a in a perfect world, there'd be a
Speaker 2: triple threat match, javan Evans would end up taking the
Speaker 2: title at standard delivery, and then both Obafemi and Trick
Speaker 2: Williams would move on. That's that's what I think would
Speaker 2: be really cool. And then have Javon Evans and called
Speaker 2: Javan Evans ethan page showing spears, have all those guys
Speaker 2: kind of run run an XT for a while.
Speaker 3: Who knows.
Speaker 2: I'm not the booker though anyway. Uh So, the bottom
Speaker 2: line is the end of the match, it was Lexus
Speaker 2: King winning very via count out. Okay, just to go
Speaker 2: back to what I was saying, then we have the
Speaker 2: fourth match of the night, which is a metaphor Girls
Speaker 2: versus Gigi and Tatum Pasley. By the way, Gig looks
Speaker 2: thinner like, she looks good. She looks really good. Last
Speaker 2: time I saw her, like not the last time, but
Speaker 2: like but before she came back recently, like she she
Speaker 2: didn't look as thin like she looks.
Speaker 3: She looks really good.
Speaker 2: I'm like, whatever she's doing, keep on doing, Gig, whatever
Speaker 2: you're doing, keep doing it.
Speaker 3: Uh. This was a great match.
Speaker 2: The Meta girls are so good and I really liked
Speaker 2: the GG and Tatum combination. They are going for the
Speaker 2: TNA Knockouts title.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know who.
Speaker 2: The champions are, so I can't sit here and tell you.
Speaker 2: But but this was a great match. And so the
Speaker 2: end of the match, Tatum and Gigi do a what's
Speaker 2: it called the Cemetery Drive. It's their finisher, the tag
Speaker 2: team finisher, which is, by the way, tag team finishing
Speaker 2: with their own names. I'm all for, like like the one.
Speaker 3: D the other night.
Speaker 2: We still haven't seen him to a year and a half,
Speaker 2: but I love tag team finishing. The tag team finishes
Speaker 2: with their own names. However, it seems that and I
Speaker 2: understand why Last Legend is a presence. Okay, Last Legend
Speaker 2: is a presence and eventually again she also will like
Speaker 2: she they kind of already started it with her last year,
Speaker 2: with them last year being in the tag team division
Speaker 2: and SmackDown and then going to and then Lash being
Speaker 2: in the Royal Rumble. I don't think that was a mistake.
Speaker 2: I think they're they're expecting big things from Lash. But
Speaker 2: because of that, every time the medic Girls lose, then
Speaker 2: Jakara Jackson gets gets pinned every time. If you if
Speaker 2: you go back and you watch Metaphour Girls matches, I
Speaker 2: don't remember a match where Lash Legend got pinned understandably,
Speaker 2: so understandably I understand why. Maybe that'll come back to
Speaker 2: haunt them later on you as a as a tag team.
Speaker 2: But Jakara Jackson, from what I remember, always takes the
Speaker 2: pin between the two of them, something I'll look out for.
Speaker 3: Actually. So the winner matches one of the match was
Speaker 3: Gig and Tatum via pinfall.
Speaker 2: Then we've got Tony D'Angelo wants he wants intel on
Speaker 2: Dark State and that don knows that he can't he
Speaker 2: can count on the family. Donna asks Stacks if everything
Speaker 2: is all right and he's the underboss for a reason,
Speaker 2: I'll never forget what the Don has done for him
Speaker 2: in the past, and Stacks says that Don can always
Speaker 2: trust him. Then we got the motor my City machine
Speaker 2: Guns talking to Hank and Tank, you know, basically talking
Speaker 2: them off the ledge. Every team has a different paths.
Speaker 2: They say they shouldn't worry about comparing themselves to other
Speaker 2: tag teams. There's nothing linear in the bed of business.
Speaker 2: And it took the MotorCity Machine Guns a long time.
Speaker 3: To make it to the WWE. It's not time to
Speaker 3: give up hanging in.
Speaker 2: Tank tells the MotorCity machine Guns that they see they
Speaker 2: will see them down the line. Fifth match of the night,
Speaker 2: we have Ethan Page versus Andre Chase. They need to
Speaker 2: figure out they're gonna do with Andre Chase. I mean,
Speaker 2: I know that it looks like they kind of have
Speaker 2: a direction, but not really. He comes out, and this
Speaker 2: has been going on for months. Duke Hutson has been
Speaker 2: has been released. Thea Hale not released. Nowhere to be
Speaker 2: found except on Instagram apparently because I do follow her
Speaker 2: on Instagram and TikTok she did.
Speaker 3: She's doing things. She is still.
Speaker 2: Alive, She's nowhere to be found. And then you've got
Speaker 2: these two newcomers. Granted, decent, decent seeming guys, but they're
Speaker 2: trying to get trying to pick up Chase his spirits.
Speaker 3: But like what he comes.
Speaker 2: Out and I the disheveled hair, disheve dishoveled shirt dress,
Speaker 2: paants like I just I don't understand where they're going
Speaker 2: with this story and unfortunately not from my from my interpretation,
Speaker 2: not many people are interested in the story, but they're
Speaker 2: still they're taking a long Like to me, if if
Speaker 2: somebody is this, if people are as not as interested
Speaker 2: in this storyline as another one, that should move faster,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like that should be that
Speaker 2: should be the story that goes that moves whereas stories
Speaker 2: like the Bloodline saga that could take a long time
Speaker 2: because it's Vera was extremely interesting and everybody was interested
Speaker 2: in it the whole Cody and Cody and the rock
Speaker 2: thing from last year, Cody and the John Cena and
Speaker 2: stuff from this year like that can take some time
Speaker 2: to develop. Let's please let us know where where Andre
Speaker 2: Chase is going on or he's Chase Hughes seems to
Speaker 2: be gone, what's the next step, where's the hale?
Speaker 3: Let's go anyway at the end of the match.
Speaker 2: So this is basically at the at the end of
Speaker 2: the match, Ethan Page beats Andrea Chase, so and Ethan
Speaker 2: Page is another guy so good.
Speaker 3: He's so good.
Speaker 2: Dark State and not phazed by Tony D'Angelo, and they
Speaker 2: want to remind everybody that there's no that no one
Speaker 2: is safe.
Speaker 3: Trick Williams is tired of all about.
Speaker 2: This is all vignettes that backstage. Trick Williams is tired
Speaker 2: of talking about John mount Evans. He was collateral damage
Speaker 2: and is a distraction. Chick wants to mind everybody that
Speaker 2: he's the man around here, and Trick is calling out
Speaker 2: Oba Femi. Next week, Chrick says that what's going on
Speaker 2: the dark Side is none of his business.
Speaker 3: Fascinating.
Speaker 2: Next week we have Sewan Spears who will put his
Speaker 2: NXT North American Championship on the line against Ricky Saints.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised they're doing this match this early. I figured
Speaker 2: the goal was to give Ricky Saints the North American
Speaker 2: title at stand and deliver, So this is gonna be
Speaker 2: interesting to see how it plays out. The last match
Speaker 2: of the night, we have Stephanie Vickaier, who mind you
Speaker 2: it was hurt from an earlier attack by Fatal Influence.
Speaker 2: She's taking out Fallon Henley for the Women's North American Championship.
Speaker 3: This was basically three on one.
Speaker 2: The entire the entire match was was interferenced by Jasmine
Speaker 2: Nicks and Jacy Jane, and it was just it was
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, it was a great match. Otherwise,
Speaker 2: Flon Henley is really good. I mean she's not at
Speaker 2: the level of not even nearly the level of Stephanie,
Speaker 2: Julia or Jordan, but.
Speaker 3: She's really she's really good. And at the end of
Speaker 3: the match.
Speaker 2: Where we got here, so Stephanie does a pump handle suplex.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, Stephanie blocks a pump handles tooth flex
Speaker 2: suplex and shoves Henley into into the knicks. Stephanie then
Speaker 2: connects with the SVB to pick up the victory, which
Speaker 2: is that backbreaker under the double wing backbreaker kind of
Speaker 2: thing that she does. After the match, Fatal Influence gangs
Speaker 2: up on Stephanie. Jordan Gray storms under the ring to
Speaker 2: make a save. Grace kicks Jane in the face and
Speaker 2: uses Henley's leg as a weapon. Grace draps Henley with
Speaker 2: a spinning back fist and clothes lines Jacy Jane and
Speaker 2: hits great then.
Speaker 3: With another backfist.
Speaker 2: Grace then hands both titles to Vac and Grace's has
Speaker 2: a quick tug of war over the NXT Women's Championship.
Speaker 3: Jada Parker then shut.
Speaker 2: Jada Parker comes out, shoves Grace into the care and
Speaker 2: Grace and Parker are brawling with each other and Grace
Speaker 2: blast Parker off the apron with a running hip tack
Speaker 2: hip attack, so kind of like the Saint that the
Speaker 2: move that that Jada Parker does probably an insult to her.
Speaker 2: Grace and his has a standoff with Thecare and we
Speaker 2: go back to where the entire women's locker room is
Speaker 2: demanding a shot the NXTA Women's Championship as the show
Speaker 2: goes off the air.
Speaker 3: So that's the That was the show.
Speaker 2: It was like I said, it was for a show
Speaker 2: that it was just a regular show in the middle
Speaker 2: of Sandon Delivery season. They call you standon delivery season,
Speaker 2: but it's WrestleMania season. Standing Delivery just happens to be
Speaker 2: during the season, you know, just Thatt's the big NXT
Speaker 2: show and during WrestleMania weekend. But that being said, it
Speaker 2: was a really good show, solid show. Stephanie wins twice,
Speaker 2: which of course is awesome. It moves some stories forward,
Speaker 2: especially Ricky Saint's stories and Javan and Trick and Oba
Speaker 2: moved a little bit forward, and of course Stephanie, although
Speaker 2: you know, we need to figure out what she see.
Speaker 2: It's I find it odd because we're less than three
Speaker 2: weeks away.
Speaker 3: Three weeks.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, we're about three weeks away from Standon's delivery.
Speaker 2: There's no matches, there's no matches planned yet, Like, what's
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 3: Let's figure it out.
Speaker 2: We gotta figure this out because at some point we
Speaker 2: got to have a card together. It's already bad enough
Speaker 2: that Standon's deliver has to happen at one o'clock in
Speaker 2: the afternoon Eastern Standard time or Saving time. I never
Speaker 2: got it right anyway, so they better make it good
Speaker 2: because we're already So WrestleMania Weekend, we're talking about Friday, SmackDown,
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. We're talking about stand and Deliver, We're
Speaker 2: talking on Saturday, stand and deliver, WrestleMania Saturday, we're talking
Speaker 2: about the Slammis On Sunday, we're talking about WrestleMania Sunday
Speaker 2: we're talking about now apparently there's some roache thing on
Speaker 2: Sunday after WrestleMania. Then we're talking Monday night. Well, I
Speaker 2: mean there's like Standing Deliver is gonna get lost, could
Speaker 2: get lost in all that, and it shouldn't be. So
Speaker 2: come up with a plan. Figure out what they're doing.
Speaker 2: We need to move forward because right now we're not.
Speaker 2: And I mean I know that the storylines are slowly moving,
Speaker 2: but there's not like figure it out. We need to
Speaker 2: figure it out. And by the way, I sean Michael's
Speaker 2: great job. He does a great job. I have all
Speaker 2: the faith in the world in him. But I'm getting an.
Speaker 3: Anyway. That's all I got for today.
Speaker 2: Hope everybody's doing well. Like I said, Wrestling Your Weekend's
Speaker 2: gonna be a long weekend. But I do plan on
Speaker 2: reviewing Stand and Deliver at some point. So but I
Speaker 2: also plan on sitting on in my parents' living room
