00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.079
<v Speaker 2>The beautiful part of NXT is that when one dream ends,

4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>another dream begins.

7
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>for you. Ah who we thought?

8
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 1>So let's get the show started right now.

9
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 2>Hey, guys, this is Jay with your NXT review for

10
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the episode. Well, okay, so I'm going to say this

11
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 2>is for the episode on April twenty ninth, twenty twenty five,

12
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>but for the second week in a row. I'm actually

13
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>going to be giving you some updates from Sunday, Monday,

14
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 2>and Tuesday. Tuesday being the episode, but then you know,

15
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 2>there was some NXT happenings on Sunday at TNA Rebellion

16
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 2>and then also on Monday and Monday night RAW. So

17
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna talk a little bit about those. First. I'm

18
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna go in chronological order, just like I did last week.

19
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go in chronological order from Sunday to Monday

20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>to Tuesday, and uh yeah, so much is going on

21
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 2>and I have a lot of questions. I have a

22
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of questions about the women's division, both on NXT

23
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>and on Monday Night Raw. And I really want to

24
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>know what y'all think about that. So let's let's first

25
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about t and A Rebellion. So Tea a Rebellion happened.

26
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 2>We all know what happened last week with uh on

27
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>on NXT, with Trick being rown out of the ring

28
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>by Oba and Joe Hendry and and uh and so

29
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>that kind of continued. So Joe Hendry had a title

30
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at t and

31
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>A Rebellion on Sunday Nights. I did not see it myself,

32
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>but you know, there's clips on the internet, and of

33
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>course you can pretty much watch a whole show just

34
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>by watching clips on the internet. I mean, you all

35
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 2>know that. So at the end of his match, which

36
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>is which was a triple throat match between Joe Hendry

37
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 2>and his challengers were Any Skazarian and Ethan Page. Joe

38
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Hendry ended up pinning Ethan Page, and then as he

39
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>was celebrating at the end, Trick Williams. Trick Williams comes in,

40
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>gives him a kick to the head and the trick

41
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>shot and lays him out. Yeah, at the end of

42
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>his own pay per view. They have pay per views

43
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 2>in on PLS because you have to pay per the view.

44
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 2>So so Trick Williams lays out Joe Hendry at the

45
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>t Anda Rebellion on Monday Night, which then we'll come

46
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>up again on Tuesday on the show, which I will

47
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>talk about in the second but before that, I wanted

48
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 2>you want to talk about Monday Night Raw and for

49
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 2>the second week in a row, and I and I

50
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>have some thoughts about this and I just want to

51
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>share them. For the second week in a row, we

52
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>had a match first between Stephanie Vacaire and Ivy Nile.

53
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Stephanievacare obviously you're you're NXT Women's Champion. She went against

54
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Ivy Nile again, another banger match. Stephanie is so good.

55
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Ivy is actually is is low key good. They had

56
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>a great match together. Not not the same level as

57
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie and EO Sky the week before, but it was

58
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>it was definitely a great match. And this this this

59
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 2>match ended with Stephanie reteed, well it wasn't. It wasn't

60
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 2>a title match, I don't believe, but Stephanie did end

61
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 2>up winning the match with her s v D. She

62
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>calls it s v D. So second week in a

63
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 2>row that Stephanie has a match on Monday Night Raw,

64
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>then we also had another. So first we had a

65
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>match with Ria Ripley going against Roxanne Perez, and there

66
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 2>were times where I honestly thought Roxanne could pull it out.

67
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, it's it's real, real, bloody Ripley. There's

68
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 2>no way that it's not that she's gonna lose to

69
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Roxanne Perez. As much as they want to build Roxanne up,

70
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>but the but the good news is they built in

71
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 2>order to build up Roxanne and Matt talked about this

72
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>in the Raw review, in order to help build up

73
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Roxanne and to not show that Rhea can just beat

74
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 2>the crap out of her. Ria did end up winning

75
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>the match by d Q when Julia comes in and

76
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>takes her out again, and so Julia and Roxanne start

77
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>beating the crap out of Rio Ripley, and then EO

78
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Sky comes down and saves Ria, just like Ria did

79
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 2>the week before for EO. So the second week in

80
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>a row we have Julia, Roxanne, and Stephanie on Monday

81
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Night Row. Now I understood why they did it. The

82
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 2>first week after wrestling the first Monday we're after wrestling,

83
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>because generally that's what happens is they bring out, they

84
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>bring out the champions usually last year I it was

85
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 2>Ilia dragonof had a match and Roxanne I believe had

86
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 2>to match after Wrestling weekend on Monday Night Raw. And yeah,

87
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 2>so the question I have is that it was a

88
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 2>good and a way is sis? I expected that they

89
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.759
<v Speaker 2>that the next two people would be at the first

90
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Monday after Monday Roy after WrestleMania, but then to have

91
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>them come out the second week in a row, all

92
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 2>three of them separate reasons, separate separate matches, well, Julia

93
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 2>and Roxanne and one and then Stephanie in a separate match.

94
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 2>What are they going to do now? I have some

95
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>thoughts I have heard through grapevines, I've read the the

96
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Internet Wrestling community, the i w C as we're called,

97
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.079
<v Speaker 2>which I'm proud to be a part of. I have

98
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>to say that they are gunning for all another. So

99
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago they had an all female,

100
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 2>all women's p l E and from what I hear,

101
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 2>they may be gunning to do that again in July

102
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 2>so and maybe have backlash UH Saturday night main events

103
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 2>at the end of May, and then I believe in

104
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 2>June is money in the bank. And I from what

105
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I can see, from what I've been hearing in some circles,

106
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 2>they're looking at having an off all women's ple e

107
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:32.279
<v Speaker 2>at in July. I don't know what it's gonna be

108
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>called Evolution two point zero or I know they called revolution,

109
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>the women's Revolution or whatever they're gonna call it, that

110
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>would be. That would be awesome. And then to have Stephanie, Julia,

111
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 2>and well Roxanne, I already I already figured Roxanne was

112
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna be what it was gonna be called up. That

113
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't surprise me at all. But but what surprised me

114
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 2>is especially Julia. I didn't think Julia would be coming

115
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>up so quickly. And I'm not I'm not gonna sit

116
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.560
<v Speaker 2>here and say that all three of them are being

117
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.959
<v Speaker 2>brought up because number one Stephanie still has the title,

118
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 2>and number two Julie just I feel like she just

119
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.399
<v Speaker 2>got here, like I don't know if she I mean, listen,

120
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.240
<v Speaker 2>could the three of them all come up to the

121
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 2>to the main raw roster. Does the main raw roster

122
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>desperately need all three of them? Absolutely absolutely? And you know,

123
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 2>I actually mentioned to this to this to Matt A

124
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>couple of months ago, I sent in a letter for

125
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 2>his mailbag show, and and I had said that the

126
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Raw the Raw Division women's division could get it could

127
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 2>use a shot of NXT women's wrestlers, and and that's

128
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 2>what's happening right now. Again, I'm not sure if this

129
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>is long term. I don't know who's gonna get called

130
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 2>up specifically, technically, the three of them are still n XT,

131
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 2>so so maybe that will be there's there'll be a

132
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 2>thing possibility of things to come. Maybe not, I don't know,

133
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>but it's gonna be interesting to see. And if we

134
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 2>can get another we get another go around between Stephanie

135
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and EO for real this time, like not like in

136
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 2>a real match, one on one that would be amazing.

137
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Or possibly Ria and EO versus Julia and and Roxanne

138
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 2>that would be great too. So we'll have to see

139
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 2>what happens. That whole storyline did continue the next night,

140
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to talk about it in a second,

141
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and we kind of interjected also Jordan Grace on NXT

142
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.279
<v Speaker 2>before I get into the show, though I forgot one

143
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 2>thing and I meant to go chronologically and I should

144
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 2>have started with Friday. And this is really all all

145
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>it is is me saying thank you Phraxium for all

146
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.159
<v Speaker 2>you've done. And it seems like now Phraxium has been

147
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.679
<v Speaker 2>officially called up to the SmackDown roster. They took on

148
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>those scars is on Friday Night. Great match. It's just

149
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say typical, but as in a

150
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:16.279
<v Speaker 2>bad way, like it's just vintage. I guess vintage Phraxium

151
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>with the stuff that they did those scars is really great.

152
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>They're really awesome and they had a banger match and

153
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 2>it was you know, it was great to be able

154
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>to showcase them. The only thing I would say is

155
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't quite understand why they would be on SmackDown.

156
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I like, right now, SmackDown has five solid tag teams, Yes,

157
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 2>could they use another one? Sure? Sure they could use

158
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 2>another tag team. I mean six is better than five,

159
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:57.759
<v Speaker 2>right if there's room for them. However, Monday Night Raw

160
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 2>has what two real time teams? Maybe now that JD's back,

161
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.679
<v Speaker 2>him and Finn are another tag team. But do we

162
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 2>all do any of us really want to see another

163
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 2>tag team title run between with Finn and JD. They

164
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 2>defended the title. What twice in six months, the second

165
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>time losing them losing the tag team titles Viking. As

166
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Matt said the other day, the Viking Raiders are a

167
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.080
<v Speaker 2>true tag team. They're They're like the old days with

168
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 2>demolition and powers of pain and you know all those

169
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>tag teams from back there, like real tag teams from

170
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:39.039
<v Speaker 2>the late eighties early nineties. Why isn't Phraxium on Monday

171
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Night Raw? They are desperately needed on Monday Night Raw.

172
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:49.000
<v Speaker 2>They are needed because there is such a vacuum of

173
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the tag team division and even Atown down Under from

174
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 2>what I've heard, they were able to be seen for

175
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 2>all of you guys that listen to this podcast in

176
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 2>other countries besides you gotta States, did not see a

177
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:06.679
<v Speaker 2>town down Under in the interview that they had, You guys,

178
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 2>all the rest of the rest of the world all did.

179
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:16.000
<v Speaker 2>And again Austin Theory gets grumpy with with Grayson Waller

180
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.759
<v Speaker 2>and so are they still a tag team? We haven't

181
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 2>seen him in a while? Are they gonna break up?

182
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Who knows? Again? I go back to why why didn't

183
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Why is what didn't Fraxium go to Raw where they're

184
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker 2>absolutely needed because right now there is a dead Tag

185
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Team Division, Yes, New Day Real Tag Team, Viking Raiders, Sorry,

186
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>war Raiders, Real Tag Team. But I just don't get

187
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.919
<v Speaker 2>why they wouldn't go there. I always thought they were

188
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna go to Raw, but especially especially since from what

189
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>I hear, from what I've been, from what I'm what

190
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:55.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm hearing, SmackDown's gonna be going back down to two

191
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 2>hours in June. So are they even gonna have a

192
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>room for them any rights? Just look up. Let's talk

193
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 2>about the NXT episode for Tuesday, April twenty ninth, and

194
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.159
<v Speaker 2>this took place back at the WWE Performance Center in

195
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 2>Winter Park, Florida. We had our commentators of Vic Joseph,

196
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Booker t and Corey Graves. Our ring announcer was Mike Rome.

197
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.360
<v Speaker 2>All Right, so the first first person that comes out

198
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.759
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's funny. They did the whole thing where

199
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Vic Joseph said to his name Joe Hendry and boomed

200
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.320
<v Speaker 2>the music hit. So Joe Hendry comes out, crowd loves

201
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.879
<v Speaker 2>him as always. I mean, he's so hot, he's I

202
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 2>actually thought last year that tna WW kind of lost

203
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.639
<v Speaker 2>momentum with Joe Hendry at the end of the year,

204
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>But after his match with Randy Orton, especially being in

205
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>a royal rumbo, then his match with Randy Orton WrestleMania.

206
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 2>He's still He's still the guy. As far as concerned,

207
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 2>He's still the guy. So Joe Hendry comes out and

208
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.799
<v Speaker 2>he says, say his name, and he appears. Joe Henry

209
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 2>is back in front of the NXT universe. And what

210
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>a journey it's been. I wrestled Randy Orton at WrestleMania

211
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.639
<v Speaker 2>U less than forty eight hours ago. I successfully defended

212
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:19.279
<v Speaker 2>my TNA World Championship at Rebellion. Unfortunately, you know what

213
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>happens next, Trick Williams attacked me and as my back

214
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.840
<v Speaker 2>was turned, Trick, I know that I embarrassed you in

215
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Las Vegas, so I'm afraid it's so much worse than that,

216
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:34.080
<v Speaker 2>because you used to be somebody oops I jumped, I think,

217
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.080
<v Speaker 2>so I expect a retaliation, but my friend, for what

218
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>you did, you just crossed the line and I called

219
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.759
<v Speaker 2>you entitled. But I'm afraid it's so much worse than that,

220
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.240
<v Speaker 2>because you used to be somebody that these people could

221
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>get behind, used to be somebody that could lead lead

222
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 2>the locker room. You were, mister, let's talk about it.

223
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>But the truth is you can't stand the fact that

224
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:01.159
<v Speaker 2>they weren't talking about Trick Williams. They talking about Joe

225
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Hendry and what they were saying was we believe, And

226
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:08.399
<v Speaker 2>then the crowd starts chanting, and you were just not entitled.

227
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 2>You're arrogant because instead of looking within, you wanted to

228
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.960
<v Speaker 2>blame everybody else for the fact that you couldn't win

229
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.200
<v Speaker 2>back your NXT championship. And you know that Obafemi won't

230
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:20.519
<v Speaker 2>just give you another title title match for that championship,

231
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.440
<v Speaker 2>so you thought you would just hop on over and

232
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 2>take take a shot of the TNA World Champion. Trick.

233
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Let me reassure you, I am an entertainer, but I

234
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:36.879
<v Speaker 2>also have the antiagnostics side, so I recognize what this

235
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.360
<v Speaker 2>is and I will not fall for your deception. So

236
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make it nice and easy, Trick. I'm gonna

237
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>say your names and make you appear Trick Williams, get

238
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 2>your ass out here right now. Then Dark State comes in.

239
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out. Dark State comes in and they come

240
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.080
<v Speaker 2>in and they attack Joe Hendry and then that's the

241
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 2>end of the segment. So the next thing we have

242
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.799
<v Speaker 2>is EVA come out. This was an earlier, an earlier

243
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 2>thing from earlier in the day. Ava wants to welcome

244
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>to EO Sky back to NXT, and then Jordan Grace

245
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>tells Eo that she'll be her tag team partner and

246
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.559
<v Speaker 2>she'll do whatever it takes to get one step closer

247
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:20.120
<v Speaker 2>to the NXT Women's Championship. The Juggernaut and the Genius

248
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.799
<v Speaker 2>of the Sky will be a tag team. Then we

249
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>have Karmen Petrovitch. She tries to give Gigi Dolan and

250
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Tatum Paxley some encouragement after suffering two losses with titles

251
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.159
<v Speaker 2>on the line last week. So just just to kind

252
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 2>of recap a second, Ggi and Tatum they obviously they

253
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:44.679
<v Speaker 2>lost to Live in Roquel last Tuesday, and then this

254
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Sunday they had another title match for the TNA Knockouts

255
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Tag Team Championship at Rebellion and they lost that one

256
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.279
<v Speaker 2>as well. So a lot of crossovers right now, a

257
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of cross and I love to see it, and

258
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I honestly I wish, I really wish I could see

259
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 2>more TNA. I just maybe I'll just suck it up

260
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and pay for it. I don't know, Okay, So anyway,

261
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>so back to this so then Chante the Adonas tells

262
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Carmen that she shouldn't be worried about these losers. He

263
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.599
<v Speaker 2>got Karmen a match with sol Ruka and as Chante says,

264
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Carmen better get ready because if she wins, she'll gar

265
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.079
<v Speaker 2>and a title opportunity, or they'll get a title opportunity.

266
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 2>And then at one point Carmen did actually say you

267
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.759
<v Speaker 2>need to stop the they're not losers. So there's definitely

268
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 2>a little kinship going between them, or at least Carmen

269
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:46.759
<v Speaker 2>is starting to see the evil ways of Chanti the Adonas.

270
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>So the first match we have is Ricky Saints defending

271
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 2>the NXT North American Championship against Lexus King. Decent match.

272
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.480
<v Speaker 2>These guys are both really good, you know. I enjoyed

273
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:10.480
<v Speaker 2>this match a lot. Ultimately, though Ricky Saints wins. First,

274
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:15.400
<v Speaker 2>we had Lexus King super kicking Ricky King. King then

275
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.680
<v Speaker 2>goes for the coronation, but Ricky counters with the Tornado

276
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.119
<v Speaker 2>DDT and then connects with the Welsh Shambeau, which is

277
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:24.519
<v Speaker 2>basically a power slam that you land on your stomach

278
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 2>instead of your back. So yeah, that was a good match.

279
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Speaker 2>It was a really good match. Ricky Saints retains the title.

280
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't like, you know, like, oh my god, you've

281
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 2>got to see this kind of match. But it was decent.

282
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 2>It was a decent match. They're very decent, all right.

283
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Then Sean Spears is sitting in a circle with the

284
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Calling and he says that they've been falling short of

285
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.920
<v Speaker 2>expectations as of late, Brooks and Nico in the tag

286
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.119
<v Speaker 2>team galam match, is He Dame was fingertips away from

287
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.680
<v Speaker 2>capturing the Women's North American Championship of Sianta deliver. It

288
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 2>hurts to lose, but they can't let their failures define them.

289
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Let their face teach, and if they fear failure, they're

290
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.920
<v Speaker 2>simply putting limitations on their lives. This is NXT women's

291
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.599
<v Speaker 2>roster is stacks. So Spears needs is He to figure

292
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 2>out a way to stand out from the pack. She

293
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.880
<v Speaker 2>needs to rip the spotlight from someone and put it

294
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 2>on herself. Brooks and Nico will need to dig down

295
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.720
<v Speaker 2>deep and find out the cohesion they need in order

296
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.440
<v Speaker 2>to take down Hank and Tank, and Spears wants the

297
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Calling to rise up and seize control of NXT. Then

298
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:40.119
<v Speaker 2>we had a segment between Tony di'angelo and Stacks Channing Stacks,

299
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Lorenzo or I don't know if he's called Stacks anymore

300
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>because he's not a part of the family. I don't know.

301
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.200
<v Speaker 2>We have no idea what happens still to Crustipino. Like

302
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 2>last week, his last thing he said was oh, f oh,

303
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:58.559
<v Speaker 2>oh oh, and then it went to black. Before he

304
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:00.599
<v Speaker 2>can say the word, because it's c you can't say

305
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.599
<v Speaker 2>the word. But still we don't know what happened to him.

306
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Tony d'angelo's out in the ring, and basically I'm not

307
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 2>going to read it word for word, but Tony d

308
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Angel's out in the ring, basically telling telling the world

309
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that he can't trust Stacks, can't trust I was just say,

310
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:19.960
<v Speaker 2>we'll call him Stacks. I guess for now he can't

311
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.160
<v Speaker 2>trust Stacks. That he didn't he wasn't sure. If you know,

312
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.880
<v Speaker 2>they grew up together, they did everything together. But then

313
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>he still couldn't trust him, and obviously he turned on him.

314
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Then we then we see on a video segment, and

315
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.079
<v Speaker 2>most not a video segment. It's it's a live video

316
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:40.359
<v Speaker 2>feed Stacks standing on a bridge for no reason, just

317
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.519
<v Speaker 2>standing on a bridge. I thought there was gonna be

318
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.119
<v Speaker 2>a reason. I thought he was going to do something

319
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.400
<v Speaker 2>on the bridge. Nothing happened. He's just randomly standing on

320
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:53.400
<v Speaker 2>a bridge, basically saying that that Tony you know, doesn't

321
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.759
<v Speaker 2>know how to leave the family and he should he

322
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:01.279
<v Speaker 2>should have stepped down and let let Stacks leave the family. So, uh,

323
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:04.599
<v Speaker 2>it's at one point and then and then at one

324
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.000
<v Speaker 2>point Stack says, you don't know who you can trust Stack.

325
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh uh Uh, Tony D had had security around him,

326
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 2>and and uh, the security guards come up and attack

327
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Tony D. Tony D's henchmen are on the rink. They

328
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.680
<v Speaker 2>don't move the entire time for some reason. They don't

329
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.039
<v Speaker 2>move the entire time. That uh, that Tony's getting attacked.

330
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:30.039
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know what they were actually there for.

331
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.119
<v Speaker 2>And then Tony ended up cleaning the cleaning house with

332
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>them and just dumping them all outside the ring. Anyway,

333
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.119
<v Speaker 2>it was a weird segment. I don't really I didn't

334
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:39.440
<v Speaker 2>particularly care for it. I don't really understand what it

335
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:41.839
<v Speaker 2>did for the feud. They just need to get together

336
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and beat the crap out of each other. Basically, they

337
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.559
<v Speaker 2>need to. They need to, they need to. They just

338
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 2>they they need to they need to go. They need

339
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:51.960
<v Speaker 2>to go right now, not go in a bad way

340
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 2>like they need to go. Okay, Noam Dar had a

341
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.759
<v Speaker 2>reunion backstage Metaphor Lash Legend says they need to talk.

342
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 2>A lot has the changed since no I'm got injured? Honestly,

343
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Aura Mensa has always been in Noam's main man. Lash

344
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 2>says that it's time for Orro to be the main

345
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.400
<v Speaker 2>man on Evolve, and Lash says that it's time to

346
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:20.440
<v Speaker 2>do her own thing. Metaphor has decided to disband and

347
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>they had a huge group hug. So to be honest,

348
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little scared for that. I'm ass scared for

349
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the Meta girls. I'm not scared for Aura. I'm scared

350
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 2>for Noam Dar. I feel that a lot of his

351
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>character work was because of the other three, and I

352
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 2>hope that he doesn't fall flat. I kind of get

353
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.319
<v Speaker 2>the feeling that Noam Dar is gonna fall flat, and

354
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 2>I hope they do something real with him. Then we

355
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 2>have the second match with his soul Ruka with Zari

356
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:57.920
<v Speaker 2>in her corner versus Carmen Petrovitch with Ashanti Viadanas and

357
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 2>her corner. Good match, short match, Sobroka ends up picking

358
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:06.480
<v Speaker 2>up the win with the soul snatcher, which, like I'll

359
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll never get never get tired of seeing the the

360
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:13.839
<v Speaker 2>soul snatcher cutter that she does off the ropes. I mean,

361
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:17.440
<v Speaker 2>it's just such a good move. It's like it's a

362
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.119
<v Speaker 2>great twist on the cutter, because it seems like everybody

363
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:23.480
<v Speaker 2>now does a cutter. Cody does a cutter. The r

364
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 2>k O is obviously a cutter. Other people do it,

365
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I think, uh, I think, what's his name, Carmelo Hayes

366
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:35.759
<v Speaker 2>does a cutter. But but I love so Rucas because

367
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.079
<v Speaker 2>it's a different twist. It's a different way to do it.

368
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I love the way she does it, and you know

369
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.640
<v Speaker 2>she's she's I hope, I hope she's a North American

370
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Women's champion for quite some time. But anyway, Sobroka wins

371
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:54.680
<v Speaker 2>the match that match via pinfall. Then we have Roxanne

372
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:57.519
<v Speaker 2>and Julia backstage, and Roxanne miss she wasn't the biggest

373
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.599
<v Speaker 2>fan of Julia when she first arrived at XT. Go figure.

374
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I think Julie didn't Julie defeat Roxanne for the title.

375
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Of course, she's not a biggest fan, especially when she

376
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:08.680
<v Speaker 2>took away the NXT Women's Championship, but the past couple

377
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 2>of weeks have changed for her perspective because they are

378
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.279
<v Speaker 2>both in lockstep. Julius says that Roxanne is a great champion.

379
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.400
<v Speaker 2>The prodigy and the beautiful manness together can be unstoppable.

380
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Then we talk about the number. So there they decided

381
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:29.640
<v Speaker 2>they're going to have a number one UH Contender's Battle

382
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Royal coming up next Tuesday, twenty five man Battle Royal,

383
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 2>and the winner of the Battle Royal is going to

384
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.920
<v Speaker 2>be facing Obafemi at the next Poe which I can't

385
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 2>remember what it is. Uh, I cant remember what it is. Whatever,

386
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you guys don't know what it is. So

387
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 2>some of the participants are Trick Williams, Josh Briggs, Yoshiki

388
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and Nomura show on Legacy. So there's there's not just

389
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:01.640
<v Speaker 2>not just nxt is TNA and Evolve people too, an LFG,

390
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:06.880
<v Speaker 2>LFG people, Sean Legacy, Ethan Page, Timothy Thatcher, Swipe Right,

391
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.160
<v Speaker 2>both of them, the coming Ridge Holland, Javon Evans, Chris Islands,

392
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Shiloh Hill and Thorpe, Tyson DuPont, Tyreek Eguay, Wesley, Lexus

393
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.079
<v Speaker 2>King and No Quarter Catch Crew. They will all be

394
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.119
<v Speaker 2>in the Battle Royal next week, so we will definitely

395
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>see how that goes. Then we have a segment between

396
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Trick Williams and Ava. I'm not gonna again, I'm not

397
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna read this word for word. It was pretty long.

398
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Trick Williams just kind of telling people like Trick Williams

399
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:50.079
<v Speaker 2>is getting As much as I love Trick Williams as

400
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:52.920
<v Speaker 2>a babyface him as a heel, it gets old like

401
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 2>he he just talks about the same thing over and

402
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:58.960
<v Speaker 2>over again, I will say, And he does have a point,

403
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 2>and I've been saying this for months now. He why

404
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:05.960
<v Speaker 2>hasn't him and Oba Femi going one on one? I

405
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>hope it should have been a standard deliver Again, nothing

406
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.680
<v Speaker 2>against Javon Evans, it should have been one on one.

407
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:16.039
<v Speaker 2>And I'm hoping that if that, Trick Williams just wins

408
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:20.319
<v Speaker 2>this Battle Royal, so I think it's battleground, So that

409
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:24.880
<v Speaker 2>battleground it can just finally be Trick and Oba Femi

410
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 2>Oba Beach Trick one on one and then Trick moves

411
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.160
<v Speaker 2>up to the main roster. I'm hoping that that's what happens.

412
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:32.279
<v Speaker 2>It needs to happen. It needs to get over with.

413
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 2>We need to move on. I like the fact that

414
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:38.519
<v Speaker 2>he's like going back and forth with Joe Henry hopefully,

415
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.799
<v Speaker 2>like there's a whole big thing with him and Joe

416
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Hendry's title is a little bit different than they're back

417
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and forth with. This thing with Oba Femi and Trick

418
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Williams has been going on for literally months. He needs

419
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.519
<v Speaker 2>to stop, we need to finish, we need to move forward.

420
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.880
<v Speaker 2>So basically, Ava Base tells Trick that she's getting sick

421
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.279
<v Speaker 2>and tired of hearing his crap and if he wants

422
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:01.279
<v Speaker 2>a number one to number one contender for the for

423
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the uh the NXT title, then he's got to win

424
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:07.599
<v Speaker 2>the Battle Royal. That's it. Win the Battle Royal. You're

425
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:09.839
<v Speaker 2>the number one contender. I mean, if you look down

426
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.759
<v Speaker 2>the list of people, there's probably two or three people

427
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:14.160
<v Speaker 2>that could win. Everybody else is going to get tossed

428
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.759
<v Speaker 2>over the top rope. I mean you, I just I

429
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:18.559
<v Speaker 2>just read you the list. You heard what you heard

430
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:20.519
<v Speaker 2>what it was. It's the only people that I could

431
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>see even remotely having a shot outside of Trick Williams

432
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:31.799
<v Speaker 2>is Javon Evans and Wesley Period. Moving on. Keyler Kin

433
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Kid then has a backstage interview with Obafemi. Alba says

434
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Trick Williams is starting to cry like a grown child. However,

435
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:41.200
<v Speaker 2>he somehow he can, if he can somehow survive the

436
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Battle Royal, he'll face him a battleground. What Trick doesn't

437
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.960
<v Speaker 2>understand is it doesn't matter if Oba faces him one

438
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 2>more time or a million times at battleground. The NXT

439
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 2>will stay. The NXT title will stay on the shoulders

440
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.440
<v Speaker 2>of Obafemi. The Undertaker then comes and joins the conversation

441
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and says that the NXT isa's yard for now because

442
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:04.519
<v Speaker 2>he has some guys in LFG who are coming for

443
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:08.160
<v Speaker 2>him very soon. We see Anthony Luke, Shiloh Hill and

444
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Jasper Troy stay stand behind Oba, and Oba look says

445
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 2>he looks forward to the challenge and shakes the Undertaker's hand.

446
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Then we have a tag team match that was set

447
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.720
<v Speaker 2>up last week for the NXT Tag Team Championship between

448
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Hank and Tank and Josh Briggs and Yoshiki and Amora.

449
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:31.880
<v Speaker 2>This was a low key, really good match. This match

450
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:38.119
<v Speaker 2>could have been. I was concerned these four guys cooked.

451
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>It was It wasn't the it wasn't the best match

452
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>of the evening and I'll talk about that later. It

453
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.079
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the best match of the evening, but it was

454
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.519
<v Speaker 2>a good match. Hank and Tank have really solidified they

455
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 2>They've they have sold me. They have sold me on

456
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Hank and Tank. I said that last week Shaw Michaels Ava,

457
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Shawn Michaels has done a great job selling me Hank

458
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.839
<v Speaker 2>in Tank I honestly like now that Phrax Sinem is

459
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.720
<v Speaker 2>not there anymore, Hank and Tank are the guys. They're

460
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:10.359
<v Speaker 2>the ones that if anybody I like, as of today,

461
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.640
<v Speaker 2>if anybody says, name me a tag team in NXT Division,

462
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Hank in Tank will be the first people they say.

463
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:20.480
<v Speaker 2>One hundred percent, without a doubt, Hanking Tank is are

464
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.039
<v Speaker 2>the guys. It was a great match. Hank and Tank

465
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.920
<v Speaker 2>were great. Josh brags In and Amura were awesome, and

466
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:29.400
<v Speaker 2>like I said, it was a great match. And ultimately

467
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Hank and Tank do you end up coming out the

468
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:36.319
<v Speaker 2>winners of this match? And the great thing I love

469
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.599
<v Speaker 2>about the Hank and Tank matches are they have a

470
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:43.640
<v Speaker 2>tendency to always look like they're just about to lose.

471
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 2>It happened in all four or five or whatever the

472
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 2>matches in the Glet match to get him the one

473
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.400
<v Speaker 2>number one contendership every single match, and they were in

474
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the beginning to the end. So every single time they

475
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:59.200
<v Speaker 2>went on a match, every time they looked like they

476
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 2>were going to lose, and every time they came back

477
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:05.519
<v Speaker 2>and then the match at Stand and Deliver with Phraxium,

478
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:07.519
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were gonna lose. It looked like they

479
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:09.480
<v Speaker 2>were gonna lose. Everybody thought they were gonna lose, and

480
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:11.079
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden, boom, they pull it out.

481
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Same thing happened the other night. So I think it

482
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of goes back to the whole old school, like

483
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:23.920
<v Speaker 2>like tag team matches where you never know who could win.

484
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>And then because that's another thing cool thing about Hank

485
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.559
<v Speaker 2>in Tank is they're always on the verge of losing,

486
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.799
<v Speaker 2>so you never know if they could just lose those titles,

487
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.599
<v Speaker 2>which to me is exciting. One of the things about

488
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Phraxim is you always expected that they were gonna win.

489
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.160
<v Speaker 2>You always expected at the end of the day they

490
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:44.759
<v Speaker 2>were gonna pull it out. Anyway, new Tag team Champion,

491
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Tank and Tank. I'm sorry, still still Tag Team Champions,

492
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Tank and Tank. Milesbourne then tells No Quarter Catch Crew

493
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 2>that there will be superstars from Ross SmackDown, xt LFG

494
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and TNA will be competing next week in the Number

495
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:02.319
<v Speaker 2>one Contenders Battle. Royal Tavian Heights mentions that Charlie Dempsey

496
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.640
<v Speaker 2>is pissed because Miles decided to tag team with Javon

497
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Evans last week behind his back. Miles and says he's

498
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:12.839
<v Speaker 2>tired of listening to Charlie and it's time for No

499
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Quarter or Catch Crew to fend for themselves. So there

500
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.559
<v Speaker 2>are two factions that are breaking up this week. Dark

501
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.240
<v Speaker 2>State then brags about destroying Joe Henry on X. They

502
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.839
<v Speaker 2>showed that clip. Then all of a sudden, we've got

503
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Chase University back. Now. I know it's kind of been

504
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:34.119
<v Speaker 2>a build for the last few weeks, but where was

505
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:44.359
<v Speaker 2>the point of the stipulation that Andre Chase loses to

506
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Rich Holland and then Chase University disbands, only to have

507
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.720
<v Speaker 2>it come back up later on. Anyway, and by the way,

508
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Rich Holland says he's in the Battle World next week,

509
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I guess he is, but like he hasn't been around

510
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 2>in a minute, and all of a sudden, Chase University

511
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:10.079
<v Speaker 2>is magically back in back in in in view with

512
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:13.279
<v Speaker 2>a whole bunch of people we don't know and one

513
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 2>nerdy guy except that you know, except the two guys

514
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember their names are But there's no thea Hale.

515
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.480
<v Speaker 2>She's doing her own thing now. Uh. Duke Cutson was

516
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.400
<v Speaker 2>released from the company, so he's not doing anything anymore,

517
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:29.480
<v Speaker 2>or he's not with Chase University anymore. And I'm pretty

518
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:34.640
<v Speaker 2>sure that Riley Osbourne is now on Evolve, so it's

519
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:36.920
<v Speaker 2>all new Chase University students. I don't know what this

520
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:41.279
<v Speaker 2>means for NXT as far as Chase HU goes. But again,

521
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:47.799
<v Speaker 2>what was the point? What was the point? Anyway? Moving

522
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:52.680
<v Speaker 2>are Colaude Jordan passive aggressively congratulate Soil Ruka on her

523
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:56.119
<v Speaker 2>victory tonight, But she says, when I was champion, when

524
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I was North American Women's Champion, she put I put

525
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the title on the line every single week. Rucas says

526
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.440
<v Speaker 2>that Clownie has a problems, Clonie has a problem with

527
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:06.079
<v Speaker 2>how she carries a championship, then she can step up

528
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.359
<v Speaker 2>and do something about it. And Zaria says that Soul

529
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:10.240
<v Speaker 2>is not putting your title on the line next week

530
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:13.599
<v Speaker 2>against Colonnie. She is she is not just gonna walk

531
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.720
<v Speaker 2>around here handing out title matches like nothing. If Colonie

532
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.440
<v Speaker 2>wants to step up to Sol, then she has to

533
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:23.400
<v Speaker 2>face Soria first, and Colonie accepts Saria's challenge. One of

534
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:25.400
<v Speaker 2>the things that I forgot to mention during the Soul

535
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Ruca matches is how Zaria was eyeballing the and the

536
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:34.759
<v Speaker 2>North American Women's Championship. So there's definitely they're definitely setting

537
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:38.319
<v Speaker 2>something up there too. Last match of the night, the

538
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:41.200
<v Speaker 2>main event was EO Sky and Jordan Grace versus Roxanne

539
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Perez and Julia, And my god, was this a good match.

540
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.960
<v Speaker 2>It was. It was by far the match of the night.

541
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:51.759
<v Speaker 2>It was an amazing match. I wish I could describe

542
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it to you. I mean, I can't describe it. I

543
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:55.599
<v Speaker 2>could read it, but I'm not going to because you

544
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:58.680
<v Speaker 2>have to see the match. It was. It was like,

545
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and and and also and I and I

546
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:07.000
<v Speaker 2>heard this someplace too. They really limited, they really limited

547
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:11.719
<v Speaker 2>the interactions between EO. Sky and Julia, and I think

548
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:15.239
<v Speaker 2>that was on purpose. I again, I think they're gonna

549
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:18.360
<v Speaker 2>rehash Stephanie and EO at some point, and they're definitely

550
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:21.039
<v Speaker 2>going to do a match between Julia and and EO

551
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.199
<v Speaker 2>at some point this is I can't wait for this

552
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 2>to happen like this, like EO EO to me EO,

553
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie and and Juliet together just our gold. Jordan Grace

554
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 2>was awesome in this match. Roxanne was really good and

555
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.079
<v Speaker 2>the whole the whole match was great. Ultimately, so at

556
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:43.159
<v Speaker 2>the end of the match, Julia and and Jordan Grace

557
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:44.880
<v Speaker 2>started just beating the crap out of each other and

558
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:49.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of going into the back eventually, so we had

559
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.599
<v Speaker 2>EO and Roxanne Perez by themselves in the ring. Roxanne

560
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.239
<v Speaker 2>almost hits pop Rocks, not quite didn't didn't hit it.

561
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Leo comes back and eventually hits the over the Moon

562
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Salt and gets the p and over Roxanne Perez. Great

563
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.199
<v Speaker 2>match and then basically for like the next five minutes

564
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:09.440
<v Speaker 2>until until the show closed, EO was out there just

565
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 2>just being just being goofy EO and was great. It

566
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 2>was great. It was This was really solid episode for

567
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:20.800
<v Speaker 2>the for the second episode after stand On Deliver Wrestlemingia Weekend,

568
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:23.679
<v Speaker 2>Like this was a solid, solid episode with a great

569
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:27.840
<v Speaker 2>main event, a lot of ship stoopid almost said it,

570
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of stuff and by the way, I feel

571
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:33.119
<v Speaker 2>like Matt's been doing that a lot more too. He's

572
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:36.760
<v Speaker 2>been like almost slipping saying stuff like that and then

573
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.800
<v Speaker 2>like and then we'll stop himself. You doing a good job, Matt,

574
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:46.239
<v Speaker 2>keep it up anyway. But yeah, great episode. It was

575
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:48.599
<v Speaker 2>a great episode. Like I said, that main event was

576
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:55.760
<v Speaker 2>was amazing, spectacular. And the last thing that happens before

577
00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:59.039
<v Speaker 2>before the match is over. The last thing that happens

578
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.559
<v Speaker 2>is Ava and Stephanie are talking in the back right

579
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:06.480
<v Speaker 2>before the show closes, and and Ava says that, So

580
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie says, who's gonna be my next contender for the

581
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Women's Championship, and and Ava says, there's gonna be a

582
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:16.800
<v Speaker 2>match next week between Jordan Grace and Julia and the

583
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:21.159
<v Speaker 2>winner will fight uh Stephanie Vaciera Battleground for the NXT

584
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Women's Championship. Early prediction. I think Jordan Grace is gonna win.

585
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:29.400
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why is because either there's gonna be

586
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Shenanigans with Raya Ripley potentially, or Jordan Grace is just

587
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:38.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna flat out win because I think they have other

588
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:42.280
<v Speaker 2>things for Julia planned on raw and Jordan Grace right

589
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.719
<v Speaker 2>now has got really nothing going on as far as

590
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.239
<v Speaker 2>as far as a feud goes, So it just makes

591
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:49.440
<v Speaker 2>sense that it would be Jordan Grace versus Stephanie, which

592
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:53.039
<v Speaker 2>is being a great freaking match. There's so many great possibilities.

593
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:56.440
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing. And by the way, before I go, I

594
00:36:56.480 --> 00:37:00.599
<v Speaker 2>need to say, it's nice to hear listen to the

595
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:04.639
<v Speaker 2>raw review this morning, and it's really nice to hear

596
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Matt the Stephanievacare train. Love it, love it, I love it.

597
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm so happy that he got to see he's getting

598
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:18.239
<v Speaker 2>to see stephanieva Care. I'm so happy that that he

599
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:21.920
<v Speaker 2>is enjoying her work, as we all have enjoyed Stephanie's

600
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:24.599
<v Speaker 2>work for the last however many months it's been. Even

601
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.880
<v Speaker 2>if you saw her before she was the n XT

602
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.920
<v Speaker 2>like she is, she's amazing. She's my she's my number

603
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:36.239
<v Speaker 2>one right now. And and I'm I'm really I'm happy

604
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:38.559
<v Speaker 2>that one of the things I know, I know Matt

605
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:41.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't watch n XT. And that's fine. Obviously he's got

606
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:44.800
<v Speaker 2>he's got well, he's got you know, spouse, kids, all

607
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:48.800
<v Speaker 2>kinds of things going job. I understand you can't watch everything,

608
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:54.280
<v Speaker 2>but I'm glad that that Matt and people like him

609
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:57.599
<v Speaker 2>that aren't watching NXT are now getting a taste of Julia,

610
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie and Roxanne, like a real taste of them. And

611
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:03.559
<v Speaker 2>I only hope that it continues, and I can't wait

612
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:07.559
<v Speaker 2>to see what happens next. In the meantime, let's talk
