00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the NXT Podcast, your home for weekly NXT

2
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 1>reviews and insight. The beautiful part of NXT is that

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>when one dream ends, another dream begins. Find all of

4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 1>your NXT news recaps and analysis right here. So with

5
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.679
<v Speaker 1>that being said, we only have one question for you.

6
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Ah we thought, so let's get the show started right now.

7
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 2>He everyone, It's Jay for your NXT review for April eighth,

8
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five. How y'all doing today. It's been a

9
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>rough week for me. I'm not gonna lie. I wish

10
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>things coul get better, but I definitely watch NXT because

11
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>we are on the road to stand and deliver. As

12
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>they told you probably a whole bunch of times. Did

13
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 2>you know? Did you know we were on the road

14
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 2>to WrestleMania and stand and deliver? Did you know? Did

15
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>you know? Because they told us, They told us the

16
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>last two days a Monday and Tuesday nights, they told us.

17
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell you how many times I lost count.

18
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>I lost count. There was so many times. But anyway,

19
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>were on the road to stand and deliver. And it

20
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 2>seems like every NXT is doing a really good job

21
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>doing having things progress forward. And it took a long

22
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 2>time to get here. We're only we're only like what

23
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>ten days from this recording room, like well nine days

24
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>from Stand and Deliver, and and they're still putting together

25
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>the card. They're doing that for WrestleMania too, which I

26
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>thought was really strange. Like there was just an Instagram

27
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>post from Nick Aldis saying that there's gonna be a

28
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>match of WrestleMania between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre, and

29
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 2>it's like, yeah, we know, dude, thanks for letting us know,

30
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Like we figured out that that was gonna happen. And

31
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 2>there's they didn't do a twist tonight NXT for the

32
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>women's title more one than I don't think anybody was expecting,

33
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 2>which I'll talk about in a second, but but we're

34
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>getting there. I will tell you, well, yeah, I guess

35
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll run some stuff. I will tell you that this

36
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.840
<v Speaker 2>WrestleMania Slash Stand in Delivery season weekend seems like it's

37
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 2>heavy on the multi person matches, triple threats. There's a

38
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>few fatal four ways, there's a six one ladder match

39
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 2>for NXT. Uh. It's just it's so many multi person,

40
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 2>I say, multi person, multi man, multi woman matches, and

41
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 2>I just don't understand why there's so many. I guess

42
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>they just want to get as many people in as possible.

43
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Although I saw this thing about on Stroman about how

44
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like braun Stroman is is kind of the

45
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>unsung hero this year. He's basically doing everything that they're

46
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>asking him to do, but then they leave him off

47
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>of the card at WrestleMania, which I think is kind

48
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>of it's kind of b yes, you know, it's kind

49
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>of yes that they would leave him off of WrestleMania card. Hopefully,

50
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, he has some kind of a thing happening there,

51
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>but but he has really been like he's he's really

52
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>put over right now, He's putting over the the some

53
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 2>of the other guys. He's putting over l A. Knight,

54
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>He's putting over Jacob Fachu. I know this isn't a

55
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 2>main event podcast, you know show, but you know, a

56
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 2>main roster show. But still I like to talk about

57
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>it because it goes into the fact that they're having

58
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.719
<v Speaker 2>multi person matches all over the place the entire weekend.

59
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>But then braun Stroman gets luffed off, which I think

60
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 2>is kind of sad. I do think, just again, to

61
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>wrap this up. I do think the unsung hero of

62
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>WWE all Together, like like in Toto, is Seth Rollins

63
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>like to me, Seth Rowland like Seth Rollins for the

64
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 2>last Like I think about this for a second, I

65
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>just I'm gonna leave it at this. If Seth Rollins

66
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do the deed for Cody Rhodes, there may not

67
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 2>be a Cody Rhods right now. Like I know the story, YadA, YadA, YadA,

68
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>but Seth Rollins, first he loses to him at WrestleMania

69
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 2>as a surprise opponent, then he loses to him again,

70
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 2>then he loses to him, and a hell in a

71
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 2>cell with Cody has half an arm. Anyway, I need

72
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>to move on NXT. I apologize. I go off on

73
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 2>a tangent. So this week's NXT again from the Performance Center,

74
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 2>because you know, we're going full force into Vegas next week,

75
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Vegas Baby, and we were till it was on April eighth,

76
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five. Again from the Performance Center. I went

77
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 2>to Part Florida. We had your commentators Vic, Joseph Booker,

78
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>t and Corey Graves. We had your ring announcer Mike Rome,

79
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and we are going full force. So The first thing

80
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>that happens is before we go into the ring. The

81
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>first thing that happens is Stephanie v A Kerr tells

82
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Kelly Kincaid, one of the you know, she's not one

83
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 2>of the interviewers in the back, that she will make

84
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 2>her decision regarding the NXT Women's Championship matches stand deliver

85
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>after the upcoming match. And the upcoming match was Jordan

86
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Grace and Jada Parker. And obviously we know this. It's

87
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>been a couple of weeks now. It has been an

88
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 2>ongoing thing between Jordan and Jada. So this was kind

89
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 2>of the match that culminated it. And they were kind

90
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 2>of Vic Joseph was trying to trying to like call

91
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.519
<v Speaker 2>it an unofficial Number one contenders match, like basically, so

92
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie went out for commentary, although you know, she really

93
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>able to say much because English isn't her language, Like

94
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 2>I understand that, but Vic Joseph's trying to get her

95
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 2>to say, like, so you're picking the person that wins

96
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 2>this matches. She wouldn't commit to that, so and we'll

97
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>see why in a second. So we had Jordan Grace

98
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 2>was Jada Parker. This was a great match. Listen, Jordan

99
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Grace not only is she great a great wrestler, but

100
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 2>she's a great seller. She made Jada Parker. I like, Listen,

101
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I love Jada Parker. I think she's awesome. She's going

102
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 2>to be in the main roster, I believe at some

103
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 2>point in the future. But she's not Jordan and she's

104
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 2>not Stephanie. She's really good, but they are superior, and

105
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 2>that's that's just the way I feel. But but Jordan

106
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>made her look really good in this match. And at

107
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the end of the match, we have Parker going for

108
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 2>a dragon sleeper, but then Grace counters with with dragon

109
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 2>sleeper of her own. Parker then hits a niche, a

110
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>couple of knee strikes, and then has a gourdbuster, but

111
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Grace avoids the hypnotic, which is that hip bump that

112
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 2>she does. It's her finishing move. Grace then lands a

113
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 2>suicide dive. If this is a suicide dive that I'm

114
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>thinking of, though, I gotta remember she she got totally

115
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>got her toes caught on the rope. She hit up

116
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 2>side of the mat and the ground hard. There has

117
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>been multiple people recently that have done suicide dives that

118
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>keep getting caught in the ropes, and I don't know

119
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 2>if this is a there's a reason for that or what.

120
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.720
<v Speaker 2>But there's been like like jay Uso did that one time,

121
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and there's another time, I believe, so I don't forget

122
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 2>who it was. And then now Jordan, Grace tries a

123
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>suicide dive and gets her toes caught in the rope.

124
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>So I wonder if the ropes are closer together or something.

125
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. And then Grace uh hits four I'm

126
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 2>sures and eventually inadvertently closed lines Stephanie outside the ring,

127
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>which and then and then Stephanie no, Stephanie inavertnity closed

128
00:07:52.079 --> 00:08:01.279
<v Speaker 2>lines Jordan, which then leads to a disqualification. After the match,

129
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 2>all help kind of breaks loose and Julia in the

130
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 2>middle of all three of them fighting. Julia comes out

131
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and she helps Stephanie take care of Jordan and Jada,

132
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 2>and then Julia attacks Stephanie. And there's a couple of things.

133
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Number One, I didn't think Julia would be back this soon.

134
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought the whole reason for me, I thought the

135
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>whole reason why Julia and Stephanie fought at Roadblock. A

136
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago was because Julia was hurt and

137
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.320
<v Speaker 2>she was gonna be out for a little while. Apparently

138
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>that's not the case. She's back. And not only that,

139
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 2>later on we find out I'm just gonna say it

140
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 2>now for the sake of time. Later on we find

141
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 2>out that Stephanie decided that she's going to fight all

142
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 2>three of them in a fatal four way for the

143
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>women's title. So we have a triple threat for the

144
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 2>men's NXT title, and we have a fatal four way

145
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.840
<v Speaker 2>for the women's NXT title. So who the heck knows

146
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:58.759
<v Speaker 2>is gonna win? I can tell you. I could tell

147
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you two people that are probably not gonna win and

148
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>in my predictions, and I'll do my predictions next week.

149
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>But the two people I think that are probably not

150
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna win are Javon Evans, just and not because he's

151
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>not good enough, because it's just not yet his time.

152
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Javon Evans is gonna win the NXT

153
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 2>men's title, and I don't think for the reasons I

154
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 2>just said, I don't think that Jada Parker is gonna

155
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.120
<v Speaker 2>win the women's title. I think it's either gonna be

156
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie retaining Jordan Grace winning or Julia recapturing. But I

157
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 2>would say tend to tend to tend to believe that

158
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Julia won't regain the title. So it's really in my mind.

159
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>And now, like I said, I'm gonna think on it

160
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.799
<v Speaker 2>and come up with predictions next week. In my mind,

161
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 2>I think that it's either between Jordan or Stephanie, and

162
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I haven't figured that out yet, but I will. Anyway,

163
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Grace wins the match via disqualification, and then Julia

164
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.919
<v Speaker 2>Julia attacks Stephanie. I guess, as I said, and I

165
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.799
<v Speaker 2>read a tweet or something. I think it was a

166
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 2>tweet that said that Julia Julia is there to win

167
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.840
<v Speaker 2>a championship back, not to not to make friends, which

168
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>is why she she turned on Stephanie. So I was

169
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of a bit of a heel turn. I'm guessing

170
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a heel turn because everybody loves Stephanie from what

171
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I can tell, Like if you watch the Performance Center,

172
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 2>all the fans there, they all really seem like they

173
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 2>they they they're they're backing Stephanie. I think they think

174
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie's is And when I was at MSG and Stephanie

175
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>won the title, she definitely was the fan favorite. So anyway,

176
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.159
<v Speaker 2>after after that, by the way, this ended really abruptly.

177
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>It was really weird. It's like all of a sudden

178
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 2>they were doing it and it was boom, it was done.

179
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>It was and it was short. It wasn't I mean,

180
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't like terribly long. It was like maybe like

181
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes total, because you know, they had the commercials

182
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and everything. But anyway, after this, we have a video

183
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.440
<v Speaker 2>recav a Ricky Saints winning the North American Championship and

184
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 2>then getting attacked by Ethan Page after the match. Then

185
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned them last week. There's a group named Swipe

186
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 2>right there on w W E Evolve, which is the

187
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.720
<v Speaker 2>show on twob again if you like wrestling, it's actually

188
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 2>it's it's more wrestling than story, but their story too.

189
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.159
<v Speaker 2>But they're wrestling there because they're all like young kids

190
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.320
<v Speaker 2>or people that are like have been around for a

191
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 2>little while. There's one woman I forgot her name, she's

192
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>from she was from TNA. They are it's wrestling at

193
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>its like kids trying to make themselves look good so

194
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>they can get up to the NXT roster and eventually

195
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 2>the main roster. So uh, Swipe Wright talks to Hank

196
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.440
<v Speaker 2>and Tank in the backstage area and they want to

197
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 2>take some notes during the match with Phraxium. So Swipe

198
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Wright is facing Phraxium tonight. Then we have the Culling

199
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.720
<v Speaker 2>making a promise to show on Spears that do everything

200
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.639
<v Speaker 2>they can to get back his NXT North American Championship.

201
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Spears appreciates the passion, but the title is no longer

202
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the focus. The title was a vessel to bring them closer.

203
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Spears wants collective success, just individuals, So tonight the focus

204
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.679
<v Speaker 2>is on Easy Dame qualifying for the Women's North American

205
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Championship ladder match at stand and deliver. Don't dwell on

206
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.519
<v Speaker 2>what happened last week, he says, focus on what what

207
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 2>she can achieve. Spears is standing sending Brooks and Nico

208
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 2>after Hank and Tank. Two.

209
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

210
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Then we have a match between Fraxing and Swipe right.

211
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Swipe Wright is is really good. They're annoying, but that's

212
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 2>the character. But I would so they're not in it.

213
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>They're not officially on n XT. They're on they're on Evolve,

214
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>But if they were on NXT, I would actually put

215
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.519
<v Speaker 2>them probably middle to high middle of the pack of

216
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:51.519
<v Speaker 2>the tag teams on an XT, and they're a real team.

217
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 2>They're not just two guys thrown together. They they're a

218
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.320
<v Speaker 2>real team. They have a real real tag team name,

219
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.399
<v Speaker 2>you know. And they're like swipe right there, they're they're

220
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>both like and there I think lower twenty. So it's

221
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 2>it's a good it's a good name for them, uh

222
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.320
<v Speaker 2>to kind of go along with their young youngness. I guess. Uh.

223
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 2>It was a great match. The match was great. Uh,

224
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.320
<v Speaker 2>swipe right put on a good show. And I mean,

225
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 2>and Phraxium is Phraxium. The only reason I think, the

226
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.519
<v Speaker 2>only reason why Phraxim is still in the NXT is

227
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.159
<v Speaker 2>because there's no other good tag teams right now. That too,

228
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>and if they moved up to the main roster, and

229
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 2>they have been dabbling with Phraxium separately on the main

230
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>roster with Acxium going against gun Gunther and then last

231
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.759
<v Speaker 2>week on SmackDown, Nathan Fraser went against oh my god,

232
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Ray Phoenix. So yeah, but it was it was, like

233
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 2>I said, Swipe right and phrasing was a great match. Ultimately,

234
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>of course Phraxie wins. They you know, they're they're not

235
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:55.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna get beaten by a team that's from the lower level.

236
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I guess we'll say for a lack of a better term,

237
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Speaker 2>but but it was a great match, high quality, Probably

238
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the match of the night as far as wrestling goes,

239
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 2>as far as actual wrestling goes. Praxium and Swape right

240
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 2>was probably the match of the night, I would say,

241
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 2>but Fraxium ends up winning. And then the reason the

242
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.639
<v Speaker 2>way they won was uh, Axiom did the the Avalanche

243
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Spanish Fly, which, let me tell you to me, every

244
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>time Axiom does the Spanish Fly from the top rope,

245
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.840
<v Speaker 2>it's a thing of beauty. And then and then followed

246
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 2>right up by Nathan Frazier doing the Phoenix splash, Like

247
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 2>that's just it's so they're so they're so good, They're

248
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>so good. They they really they could give, They really

249
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:45.039
<v Speaker 2>could give the tag teams and the main roster like

250
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.600
<v Speaker 2>they I would almost say they're the best tag team

251
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.480
<v Speaker 2>in all of w w E. I know that the

252
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Street Profits and the rest of them have been around,

253
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, and New Day have been around a long time,

254
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot longer, but like, they're really good and I

255
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 2>really hope they don't break them up. I know this

256
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:03.200
<v Speaker 2>is different than what I've said in the past, but

257
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>that was before. This is now. A person can change

258
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 2>their mind, but yeah, they need to eventually that help

259
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>they go to the main roster because the tight team

260
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:17.480
<v Speaker 2>division on the main roster, especially in raw, needs something

261
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.519
<v Speaker 2>like them. Then we see Fallon Halle and J C.

262
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Jane bickering with each other about who should represent Fatal

263
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Influence of the Women's North American Championship Ladder Match qualifier,

264
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.440
<v Speaker 2>and then Jasmin basically says nope, I got it, I'm

265
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 2>doing it, and then she walks out. So the third

266
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 2>match we have is so Ruka Mazari in her corner

267
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 2>against Jasmine next with the rest of Fatal Influence in

268
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>her corner, and it's a Women's North American Championship Ladder

269
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Match qualifier. That's a lot to say. Another great match again,

270
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>And I know I keep saying this, and they obviously

271
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to keep bouncing people up to the

272
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>mean roster, and I don't think this is gonna happen

273
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:03.320
<v Speaker 2>anytime soon. But so Ruka is She's gonna be on

274
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 2>the main roster at some point, her finisher, and I

275
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>think that when the when the normal regular, every day

276
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>non nxt w W E fans, So like not us

277
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 2>who watch nx T every week, but the but the

278
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.159
<v Speaker 2>WWE fans that have not seen the up and comers,

279
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:27.720
<v Speaker 2>when they see sol Ruka's soul catchers like a cutter

280
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 2>that she does the sole Catcher, they're gonna be like,

281
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.679
<v Speaker 2>what the heck was that? It's so it's so good

282
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and she's so smooth at doing it. She hasn't winning

283
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.639
<v Speaker 2>the match with this, but the soul catcher because you know, hey,

284
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's like you don't get up from that,

285
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.879
<v Speaker 2>the soul snatcher. Soul Snatcher, I think I think it

286
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>was just soul snatcher. But yeah, that was It was

287
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 2>a great match, not a huge I don't know. I mean,

288
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Jasmin Nicks was just okay, but so Rucas is awesome.

289
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.000
<v Speaker 2>And so now it's interestingly we have so Ruka and

290
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Zaria both in the ladder match at Santa Delivery, so

291
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>that that will be interesting, I think. Then Sarah Schaeffer,

292
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>she's backstage an interview with Javon Evans. He knows, he

293
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:09.799
<v Speaker 2>knows what Dark State is. If Oba and Trick would

294
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>have listened to him, they would have they would not

295
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>be in the position they are tonight. He's tired of

296
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.599
<v Speaker 2>the little bro treatment and he's coming for the NXT Championship,

297
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 2>and Javon is taking all of this step by step,

298
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.160
<v Speaker 2>he says. Then a reporter tried to ask Julia and

299
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the NXT parking lot why she attacked your best friend,

300
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.799
<v Speaker 2>and she's she wants to rematch with Stephanie a stand

301
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:33.200
<v Speaker 2>and deliver great Like that would be awesome. Obviously I've

302
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.480
<v Speaker 2>already ruined it and said what Stephanie decided, but that

303
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 2>would like to have Stephanie and Julia go one on

304
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 2>one without the confines of the NXT show on the

305
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:50.160
<v Speaker 2>CW would be so much better. Like the fact and

306
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>I said this before the fact that there was I

307
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.079
<v Speaker 2>think I said this with DJ Kuzmo at the time.

308
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 2>The fact that there was a time women on the

309
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 2>episode and they were the last match really kind of

310
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it really didn't do them justice. Like it

311
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 2>was a great match, don't get me wrong, but it

312
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.119
<v Speaker 2>would have been so much better if they didn't have

313
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the actual time constrain of the two hours of NXT

314
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>on the CW. So then we have a fourth match,

315
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>which is the Culling versus Hank and Tank. This was

316
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.079
<v Speaker 2>really just another another way for Hank and Tank to

317
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:29.119
<v Speaker 2>lose a match. I like Hank and Tank. They're fun,

318
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.759
<v Speaker 2>but you know, they're going on this losing streak and

319
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.039
<v Speaker 2>I am sure there's a purpose for it down the line,

320
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 2>but they've literally not want to match it and then

321
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.519
<v Speaker 2>they're going every week and every week they're losing to

322
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:44.799
<v Speaker 2>No Quarter Catch Crew. This week they lost to the Culling.

323
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.599
<v Speaker 2>They've lost to like basically every tag team there is.

324
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.079
<v Speaker 2>So like I said, eventually, I'm sure there's gonna be

325
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:55.599
<v Speaker 2>a Hank and Tank payoff, which I'm looking looking forward to.

326
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>To be honest, like I said, I like them. They're

327
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.079
<v Speaker 2>good guys. I mean, they're not the greatest wrestlers in

328
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.599
<v Speaker 2>the world. They look like, Yeah, they looked like they

329
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 2>just stood up from a lawn chair, grabbed a beer

330
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and started wrestling. That they did that. That's to me

331
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the way they look. Not that that's a problem, but

332
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's their character. But it was a good match.

333
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.519
<v Speaker 2>It was a decent match Hank and Tank. You know,

334
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:18.200
<v Speaker 2>it really looked like they were gonna pull it out

335
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 2>at the end, but unfortunately they did end up losing

336
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>by a dominator flying knee drop combination from the color.

337
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>So uh. Then there's a huh. There's a segment. It

338
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.960
<v Speaker 2>started by Ricky Saints. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

339
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.160
<v Speaker 2>go through what everything was said because it was a long,

340
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:49.359
<v Speaker 2>long drawn out uh thing. I think it went too

341
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:53.119
<v Speaker 2>which times, too much, they put too many. I think

342
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:55.359
<v Speaker 2>they're setting up like, literally, they're gonna be setting up

343
00:19:55.400 --> 00:20:00.160
<v Speaker 2>another multi person, multi man match, it seems like for

344
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the North American title now. And I thought we were

345
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 2>getting Ricky Saints and Ethan Page and one on one,

346
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.319
<v Speaker 2>but it seems like now they're setting up like a

347
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.640
<v Speaker 2>five person fatal five man fatal four away or whatever

348
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.960
<v Speaker 2>for the NXT North American title. I don't know if

349
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.200
<v Speaker 2>this is where they're going with it, but they have.

350
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.599
<v Speaker 2>First we have Ricky Saints out there talking. Then Lexis

351
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:20.440
<v Speaker 2>King comes out and gives his spiel. Then Eddie Thorpe

352
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:23.440
<v Speaker 2>gives out, comes out and talks about how the North

353
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 2>American title is his birthright because of the way that

354
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.839
<v Speaker 2>the white man stole his land. I mean, please, sorry,

355
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.400
<v Speaker 2>but come on. Then Wes Lee comes out and says,

356
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:35.440
<v Speaker 2>you can't talk about the North American title without talking

357
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:41.160
<v Speaker 2>about Wesley and that's true because he is the second

358
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.839
<v Speaker 2>longest running North American champion. And then finally Ethan Page

359
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.240
<v Speaker 2>comes out. There's a big braw with all the guys.

360
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Ethan Page basically lays out Ricky Saints again for the

361
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 2>second week in a row. I hope, I hope they

362
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.359
<v Speaker 2>do Ricky versus Ethan one on one fan and deliver.

363
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.480
<v Speaker 2>But the way this is set up looks like it

364
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.839
<v Speaker 2>could be it could very well be a five person

365
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.480
<v Speaker 2>match of some kind for the North American title. I

366
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:10.359
<v Speaker 2>guess we'll find out next week because as of right now,

367
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Ricky Saints doesn't have a match to defend the title.

368
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:16.960
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see next week what happens. By the way,

369
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Standon's Delivered is looking to be something really special and

370
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:26.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Okay, Then we

371
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>have Stephanie in Stephanie vcour in Ava's office with mister

372
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Stone and Stevie Turner there, and she's made a decision.

373
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Like I said before, She's gonna go against Julia, Jordan

374
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and Jada in a fatal four way match. So that's

375
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:46.039
<v Speaker 2>what that's what the Stephanie's title defense will be. And

376
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I'll like you gotta talk about the predictions late next

377
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:49.799
<v Speaker 2>week when I when we find out what all the

378
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.359
<v Speaker 2>matches are because Reserve Right now, as of this moment

379
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.440
<v Speaker 2>in time, we still don't know what all the matches are. Okay,

380
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:01.079
<v Speaker 2>who a lot going on? Sarah Shreiver, She's backstage with

381
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.440
<v Speaker 2>an interview with Trick Williams. He's not here for any

382
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.640
<v Speaker 2>SOB story, but every time it comes to trying to

383
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.559
<v Speaker 2>get his title back, there's always someone in the way

384
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 2>for Setdie Thorpe. Now Javon Evans taking a look at

385
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 2>his resume. He's leaving Standon's Deliver with a title around

386
00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:18.359
<v Speaker 2>his waist. He's he's concerned about the dark State. He

387
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:21.559
<v Speaker 2>needs Obafemi and Javon to bring their a game tonight. However,

388
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>at stand and Deliver, the Trick is going to kick

389
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:28.519
<v Speaker 2>both of their butts. He didn't say bups PG show

390
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:32.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to keep it PG. Then the fifth match we

391
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:37.839
<v Speaker 2>have is Wes Lee against Yo Yoshiki anymore, I never

392
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm never gonna say his name right, another great match.

393
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 2>I like Yoshiki, like his style. I hope to see

394
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.759
<v Speaker 2>more of him in singles competition. I mean he's good

395
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.119
<v Speaker 2>with Josh Briggs, Don't get me wrong. But like him

396
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 2>in singles competition, and he's like, I guess he's like

397
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.920
<v Speaker 2>a mini sumo wrestler, Like he kind of did some

398
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.240
<v Speaker 2>sumo moves, but he's not like like a huge sumo

399
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:06.640
<v Speaker 2>wrestler like obviously yokozuna, you know, Rodney andoy he was

400
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.640
<v Speaker 2>bigger than life. But even like even like the regular

401
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 2>size sumo wrestlers are pretty decently sized, he's not very big.

402
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:16.359
<v Speaker 2>He does the sumo thing, so I'm guessing that's his

403
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 2>that's his stick in Japan, which is fine. He's uh,

404
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.039
<v Speaker 2>he was, you know, he was. It was a good match.

405
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Not the match of the evening. I mean, Wesley is

406
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.319
<v Speaker 2>always Wesley, but it was it was a very good match.

407
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm going through these these things quick, but

408
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.400
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot going on and I need to I

409
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:37.359
<v Speaker 2>need to have dinner, to be quite honest, I'm gonna

410
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.359
<v Speaker 2>have dinner. But I wanted to get this done because

411
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I wanted I wanted to be sure that you guys

412
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to hear it before the weekend. Then.

413
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Uh so the winner of the match ended up being

414
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Wes Lee. Uh he ended up doing a cardio kick

415
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.440
<v Speaker 2>to get to win. So I literally you know, the

416
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:58.400
<v Speaker 2>cardio kick is really cool too. Then we have a

417
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:02.319
<v Speaker 2>promo with Obafemi. He says, Dark State, your presence in

418
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.920
<v Speaker 2>here in NXT seemed to put the entire locker room

419
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:07.720
<v Speaker 2>on edge. Everyone is wondering what you will when you

420
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 2>will strike, and where you will strike from. And the

421
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Ruler knows all too well about that. In addition, you

422
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.839
<v Speaker 2>attacking you're attacking me last week. I haven't forgotten about

423
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.359
<v Speaker 2>what you did to me at Vengeance Day because you

424
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.240
<v Speaker 2>hit me with your with your last shot, with your

425
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.839
<v Speaker 2>best shot, and you fail to put me down. So

426
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.880
<v Speaker 2>tonight I'm going to return the favor. And when I'm

427
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.039
<v Speaker 2>done with you, you four fools, I will turn my

428
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.759
<v Speaker 2>attention fully to Trick Williams and Javon Evans, because in

429
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.680
<v Speaker 2>two weeks I will be it will be there, it's

430
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:37.640
<v Speaker 2>only nine days. It will be their opportunity to hit

431
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:39.880
<v Speaker 2>me with their best shot, and they will find out

432
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.559
<v Speaker 2>the hard way that the Ruler can't be stopped and

433
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:46.160
<v Speaker 2>they will suffer the same fate that Dark State will

434
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>suffer tonight, and that is defeat at the hands of Obafemi.

435
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 2>So the sixth match we have is is he Dame

436
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.359
<v Speaker 2>versus Ren Sinclair again. I love Ren Sinclair. I think

437
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.440
<v Speaker 2>she's funny. If you ever ever watch her TikTok, she

438
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.039
<v Speaker 2>does like this this Wednesday, every Wenesday. Every Wednesday, she

439
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 2>comes out with a TikTok. It's funny, it's cute. There's

440
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:11.599
<v Speaker 2>no she had no chance against Izzy Dame and even

441
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:13.319
<v Speaker 2>if she did win, for some reason, she would have

442
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:16.240
<v Speaker 2>had zero chances, the same as when she was in

443
00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the Irish Iron Survivor Challenge earlier this year, like she

444
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 2>would have zero chance of winning. But she didn't even qualify.

445
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:29.839
<v Speaker 2>Izzy Dame Pope came out on top decent match. All

446
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.079
<v Speaker 2>the matches were decent tonight. I mean there was the one,

447
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.799
<v Speaker 2>the one tag team match with Fraxinem and Swipe Ray.

448
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I think to me took the night, but it was

449
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:40.119
<v Speaker 2>that was about pure wrestling style. But yeah, no, it

450
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>was a decent match. And Issy Dame comes out on

451
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.000
<v Speaker 2>top of winds. And so now we have four four

452
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.279
<v Speaker 2>people involved in the the women's ladder match for the

453
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 2>women the North American title. We have Zoe Ruka so

454
00:25:52.640 --> 00:26:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Ruka Zaria, we have Izzy Dame and so somebody else

455
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of right now. I'll let you know

456
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 2>next week. I'll let you know next week when I

457
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.720
<v Speaker 2>do my when I do my predictions. But we still

458
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.319
<v Speaker 2>have two more qualifiers for next Tuesday. We'll find out

459
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:18.839
<v Speaker 2>who the other two other qualifiers are and then we

460
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.160
<v Speaker 2>will get ready for the match on like a week

461
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:26.920
<v Speaker 2>from Saturday. Who Ava tells. Then David tells Roxane Perez,

462
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Last Last Legend and Fatal Influence that there won't be

463
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>any last chance qualifying match this year and they should

464
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>have won their matches. Ava has an idea for standing

465
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.880
<v Speaker 2>deliver in Roxanne says that she could not be not

466
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:40.920
<v Speaker 2>be a tag team because she doesn't have a tag

467
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 2>team partner. It seems like they're going to be doing

468
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Fatal Influence versus the Meta Meta girls and Roxanne. Great,

469
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:55.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, great idea. I think it's just a way

470
00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:00.440
<v Speaker 2>to get Roxanne and Lash like on the card because

471
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:04.160
<v Speaker 2>like Roxanne like she's I think her next step is

472
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:05.519
<v Speaker 2>to go to the main roster. I just don't know

473
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:08.759
<v Speaker 2>how it went. So h Then you're Riah Connors and

474
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Cale Dixon still wants guidance from Andre Chase. There's a

475
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.319
<v Speaker 2>little thing about that. Then we have Hank and Tank

476
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.160
<v Speaker 2>talking to the street Profits in the backstage area, and

477
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>then they said they're going and there's going to be

478
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:22.079
<v Speaker 2>in the street. Profits say to them there's going to

479
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.440
<v Speaker 2>be ups and downs, and Ford tells Hank and Tank

480
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.319
<v Speaker 2>to lean into who they are. They don't have to

481
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 2>be doing it, they don't have to do anything different.

482
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:31.480
<v Speaker 2>They just be Hank in Tank and the Profits tell

483
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Hank and Tank that there will be a tag team

484
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:38.000
<v Speaker 2>goal in match next week and the winners will battle

485
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.279
<v Speaker 2>fraxing it for the NXT Championship at Stand and Deliver

486
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:43.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's time to lock in. It's time to stand

487
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and deliver. And this is where I think that they

488
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>they elevate Hank and Tank, right, So they've built so

489
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:57.079
<v Speaker 2>every other tie team so far has been a subplot

490
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:01.680
<v Speaker 2>to Hank and Tank constantly losing. However, there's by the way,

491
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I hate Gotland matches. I think gonlet matches are the

492
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.440
<v Speaker 2>stupidest things in the world. The fact that somebody has

493
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:10.319
<v Speaker 2>to potentially go for like for like four or five matches,

494
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.200
<v Speaker 2>depending on how many teams or people are in a

495
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 2>gantlet matches. It's ridiculous. Hate Goldlet matches. There's gonna be

496
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:20.880
<v Speaker 2>one for the women's tag team titles on UH on SmackDown.

497
00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I think there's gonna be a goal on the match

498
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:24.960
<v Speaker 2>for the women's tag team titles, and now there's gonna

499
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.960
<v Speaker 2>be a goallet match for the NXT Tag titles. And

500
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:32.720
<v Speaker 2>again I just to me, it's it's I wish there

501
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.480
<v Speaker 2>was a better way to do it. But either way,

502
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 2>like like I like the whole tag team Battle royal thing.

503
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 2>That was really cool. I should bring that back. But anyway,

504
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I have a feeling that this is this is a

505
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:49.000
<v Speaker 2>way to get Hank in Tank to be able to

506
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:50.920
<v Speaker 2>to be able to go against Fraxing for the tag

507
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 2>titles and potentially we're the tag titles and not because

508
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:57.160
<v Speaker 2>they're obviously they're not better than Phraxing, but you know,

509
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Frank Fractionings had the titles for a while, and who

510
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:02.160
<v Speaker 2>knows what I mean now that they're kind of playing

511
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:04.839
<v Speaker 2>with them on the main roster, like both Axiom and

512
00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Nathan Fraser, maybe they're trying to maybe they're trying to

513
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.160
<v Speaker 2>see about moving them forward. Who knows, we'll have to say.

514
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:15.920
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, there's gonna be a go on match next week,

515
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.880
<v Speaker 2>so we'll see how that goes next week on XTVE

516
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and Page will battle West will battle Wesley Kay and

517
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Ethan Page for a fatal four way match in the

518
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 2>winner will go against Rickey Saints. I'm totally missed that.

519
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I totally miss that. You know, when it happens, I'm

520
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.880
<v Speaker 2>watching it as I go through my day, so sometimes

521
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm making dinner while I'm watching it and

522
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I miss something. But so anyway, so Ethan Page will

523
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:48.599
<v Speaker 2>go against Wesley lexis Ki and what's his name Eddie

524
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Thorpe for on a fatal four we match, and the

525
00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:53.039
<v Speaker 2>winner will go against Ricky Saints for the North American

526
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Titles standards delivery plus the final two qualifying matches. So

527
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 2>this is this is I honestly think that this is

528
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:03.319
<v Speaker 2>just a way for Ethan Page to qualify to go

529
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.279
<v Speaker 2>against Ricky Saints. How could you not have Ethan versus

530
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Ricky Saints. You have to you have to, right right,

531
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:18.400
<v Speaker 2>you have to final match, seventh match. There were seven matches,

532
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:23.839
<v Speaker 2>seven matches on Tuesday. Then we have Obaa, Trick Williams

533
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.160
<v Speaker 2>and Javan Evans versus Dark State. This was a fun match.

534
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:29.440
<v Speaker 2>At the beginning, you didn't really know who the three

535
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:31.680
<v Speaker 2>members of the four of Dark State were going to

536
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:35.240
<v Speaker 2>go against each other. To be honest, I don't remember

537
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 2>other names, so I know three of the guys ended

538
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.160
<v Speaker 2>up being in the match against Oba, Trick, and Javon.

539
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Javon is trying to be the kind of the glue

540
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:45.920
<v Speaker 2>that keeps him together because, you know, like the cheerleader,

541
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:50.000
<v Speaker 2>let's go, guys, we can beat him, YadA YadA. Turns

542
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:52.519
<v Speaker 2>out the answer to that is no, you can't. And

543
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the reason why was because Oba and Trick ended up

544
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 2>getting into a brawl on the outside, which left Javon

545
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Evans in the ring by himself, and he got destroyed

546
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.160
<v Speaker 2>by Dark State. He got destroyed by them. They did

547
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:13.680
<v Speaker 2>that whole power bomb thing. We're two of the guys

548
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.119
<v Speaker 2>like kind of like a kind of like a Bloodline

549
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:18.160
<v Speaker 2>two point zero power bomb, but got Jacob two power

550
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.279
<v Speaker 2>bomb with one guy doing a power bomb. But anyway,

551
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:23.799
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to describe. One guy's on the ropes, two

552
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:28.519
<v Speaker 2>guys are pushing him down. Great move. They didn't They

553
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:30.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't really execute it very well, to be honest, but

554
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.160
<v Speaker 2>it's a great move nonetheless, and they painted Javon Evans,

555
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:36.680
<v Speaker 2>so Dark State actually won the match, and then after

556
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:43.799
<v Speaker 2>the match, Stacks gets up and says that next week

557
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 2>they're they're going to do a match between a three

558
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 2>way tag match between the family, the D'Angelo family versus

559
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Dark State, So we're looking we have to look forward

560
00:31:55.799 --> 00:32:01.160
<v Speaker 2>to that next week as well. Wow seven, with all

561
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the other stuff going on, it was so packed this week.

562
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize how packed it was until I started

580
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:09.319
<v Speaker 2>sitting in front of my TV from Friday night at

581
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown till Tuesday night at n XT. And it was

582
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:15.880
<v Speaker 2>just it's just gonna be nunst think about it. It's

583
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.359
<v Speaker 2>like it's like, what two So SmackDown is two three hours,

584
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:23.519
<v Speaker 2>so that's three and standing delivered another three hours. That's

585
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:27.960
<v Speaker 2>six WrestleMania probably four hours one night, that's ten four

586
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:33.319
<v Speaker 2>nights to the next night that's fourteen raws, and to

587
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 2>say three hours just for sake of so that's sixteen

00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the way I haven't even mentioned I haven't even mentioned

591

595
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:03.039
<v Speaker 2>not feeling well. He's got a bit of pneumonia and
