00:00JC Jane, Jasmine Nicks, Jasmine, tonight you're in singles competition
00:05against Kendall Grey, who recently defeated Izzy Dame on Level Up.
00:09Let me stop you right there because that's simply irrelevant.
00:12Kendall Grey picks up one win and
00:13she thinks she can defeat the whole NXT Women's division?
00:16Well, Izzy Dame is quite a, that's a rhetorical question, Sarah.
00:21Exactly, and not to mention, I have JC Jane in my corner tonight.
00:25So if you think a former amateur wrestling standout is gonna get
00:29past me in my kicks, then think again.
00:32So what's your plan?
00:34That's enough.
00:34We don't have time for this.
00:36Let's go.
00:39Coming up, fresh off of her first career win, Kendall Grey looks for
00:43more success as she takes on the Krusty Striker, Jasmine Nicks.
00:47That is next.
00:48Heat wave really starting to take shape.
00:56I just wanna know if Toronto can handle all the epicness that is headed their way.
01:00The following contest is scheduled for a blindfold.
01:05Introducing first, accompanied by JC Jane, Jasmine Nicks.
01:10The action continues here on Level Up, and
01:16flanked by her dashing best friend,
01:23the It Girl, ready to show off more of her lead foot kicks here tonight in singles action.
01:30As you did there, dashing best friend, according to the facial garb bestowed
01:35upon her by the undisputed WWE champion, Cody Rhodes.
01:39Apparently JC Jane is giving a bit of a makeover.
01:42I'm not talking about makeover.
01:44Here's an unofficial, I will call it an official sax pack for you.
01:48Jasmine Nicks sporting brand new gear here on Level Up.
01:52You didn't know that?
01:53I did not.
01:54No, you didn't.
01:54That's why it's a sax pack.
01:55I didn't even know it was.
01:56And her opponent, Kendall Grey.
02:05I'm not sure I wanna know how much research you did to get that sax pack, but
02:08nonetheless, fresh off her first career win a couple of weeks ago here on Level Up.
02:12The amateur standout, Kendall Grey, looks to build on that confidence and
02:15keep her momentum rolling, but certainly has a tough task ahead.
02:19Yeah, Kendall Grey really needed that win, that upset win over Izzy Dane.
02:23Because I talked to Kendall Grey the last couple weeks, and
02:26one of her biggest challenges here at NXT was just being patient.
02:29Remember, this girl, she was cooking.
02:31She was cooking up wins in college.
02:336-1-0, undefeated.
02:35Oh, a quick hover.
02:36So you go from that to suffering losses, to having shortcomings.
02:39It's a culture shock for a competitor like Kendall Grey.
02:42So to get that win, really did a lot for her confidence.
02:46Right into the cover, only gets one right there.
02:47And of course, you have to imagine that first win, very emotional there, Byron.
02:51I know in your in-ring career, you had a couple of wins.
02:53So you have to be able to relate to that, and
02:55certainly know Kendall Grey has to be feeling a lot right now.
02:57A couple of wins?
03:00Yeah, you had a couple of wins, didn't you?
03:01No credit in that.
03:01Is Kendall Grey looking to take to the mat right here?
03:05Certainly in her comfort zone.
03:06And you know who's not feeling a comfort zone right now?
03:10It's Jasmine Nix and JCJ, because these two, how do you describe their attitude?
03:14They almost feel like the system has failed them here at NXT.
03:17They feel like other superstars are getting opportunities that they should be
03:21getting.
03:22They believe they should be going to Heat Wave and
03:24getting shots at the NXT Women's title, the North American title.
03:27But instead, they feel like, hey,
03:28we're being relegated to taking on a competitor like Kendall Grey.
03:32I don't feel like they should be disrespected because of that.
03:34But that's how Jasmine and JCJ are.
03:35Certainly looking to make an example out of Kendall Grey here tonight.
03:38And again, whether it's Kalani, Jordan, or
03:39Roxanne Perez, certainly targeting some gold here in the WWE.
03:43As Jasmine Nix- I hate that metaphor about Jasmine Nix.
03:46Indeed, the former professional soccer player, as Kendall Grey takes flight.
03:49Matched by Kendall Grey.
03:51As Grey continuing to expand her playbook here on Level Up.
03:54And going right back to the bread and butter.
03:57And right now, Kendall Grey is the perfect target for a competitor like Jasmine.
04:01And JCJ for that matter, because they want to burst that bubble of joy for
04:05superstars like Kendall Grey.
04:06Coming off her first win, feeling great, feeling happy, feeling joy.
04:10They want to play spoiler here tonight.
04:13And Bayer, we've seen Grey in tag team competition, of course,
04:15alongside her best friend, Carly Bright,
04:17who got her wish this past Tuesday on NXT.
04:20Gonna finally be able to get some revenge against Wendy Chu.
04:23What'd you call her the other week?
04:25I believe I took your quote with sleep, so I thought, don't pass it on me.
04:29Listen, once again, Wendy Chu,
04:30it's Blake that calls you to sleep this night, though, not me.
04:33As Kendall Grey here looking to stay alive here against Jasmine Nix.
04:37As Kendall Grey, just about to say she's ready for
04:40the deeper waters of the women's division.
04:42But Jasmine Nix giving her the wake up call.
04:43Imagine looking up and you see JCJ with her masquerade, looking right at you.
04:49That's just a mind game defeat right there, nothing else.
04:53And Jasmine Nix, once again, using those lethal strikes.
04:56And Bayer, how do those strikes really separate her from others in
04:58the women's division?
04:59Using her natural ability, professional soccer player Jasmine Nix.
05:04She has a striking ability.
05:05And take another look, pace and all that striking ability.
05:12That swiftness displayed by Jasmine Nix.
05:15And indeed, that numbers game as well, being distracted there by JCJ.
05:20And Jasmine Nix, first onto the scene alongside JCJ.
05:23How has she grown alongside of JCJ?
05:25Well, we know JCJ will scoot to nothing to get ahead.
05:29Man, someone like Jasmine Nix.
05:32There's a big kick right across the chest into the cover.
05:35Only gets two.
05:36Jasmine Nix, who shares that same mindset of doing whatever it takes, hurting
05:40whoever you have to to get ahead.
05:43They're kindred spirits.
05:44That's also bad news for the rest of the women's division.
05:46Last time we saw Jasmine Nix here on Level Up, defeated Laini Reed.
05:50And her confidence seemingly sky high ever since that month.
05:53Well, I don't think Jasmine Nix had a problem with confidence walking the door.
05:55Again, you have a best friend like JCJ, you better be confident.
06:00We talked about expanding playbooks all throughout here at Level Up tonight.
06:04And we certainly saw a more aggressive side to Jasmine Nix recently against
06:07Thea Hale, getting some payback for JCJ.
06:10Nice counter there by Kendall Gray, but unsuccessful.
06:13I respect the friendship.
06:14You know, if you have a friend who's willing to make bad decisions,
06:18and deal with those repercussions as a result, that's a friend you keep for life.
06:23Oh, that's the bond between Jasmine Nix and Jason Day.
06:25As Kendall Gray, starting to rock and roll a bit here, Byron.
06:29Oh, and Kendall looking for two in a row here on Level Up.
06:33Defeated Izzy Damon was certainly an upset.
06:35Oh, twisting suplex, and Kendall's starting to feel it.
06:38Look at Kendall Gray, starting to cook a little bit in this match.
06:43Watching the chagrin there of JCJ, as that plan from Nix and Jane might be backfiring here.
06:49Oh, and Gray, that elusiveness.
06:51Oh, just like that.
06:54And Nix connects right on target.
07:00Here is your winner,
07:03Jasmine Nix!
07:05And that striking ability, Byron, rears its head yet again.
07:09The suddenness of Jasmine Nix that we've talked about in this match,
07:15once again, rears its head.
07:18Let's take another look here, Kendall Gray.
07:20Beautiful twisting suplex right there.
07:23A variation of the angle slam, thought that might have been enough.
07:26But Jasmine Nix, Byron, it comes out of nowhere,
07:28and catches it with that Pele kick.
07:29And that is enough for Jasmine Nix to get the W.
07:33For the pleasure of JCJ, I mean, Rob Nix, he's feeling all right.
07:36Getting some water after the match.
07:37You have to be impressed.
07:39Whether or not you like her attitude, you've got to be impressed with Jasmine Nix
07:43and what JCJ has done for Jasmine Nix.
07:46These two certainly looking for gold in the near future here in LA.
