00:00It's all about family, it's all about the business, and I love it.
00:10The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:20Introduced to us, accompanied by Luka,
00:25El Camino, and Janik, Stacks Lorenzo,
00:29representing the D'Angelo family, Adriana Renzo.
00:35Getting the action started tonight here- Wait a second, what is going on here?
00:39It's like I got a little something from Stacks here.
00:41You all got a secret arrangement or something?
00:44Family business is family business, Byron.
00:46Gotta dig more into this family business going on here.
00:49We're supposed to talk about these things, Blake.
00:54And her opponent, Delaney Creed!
01:09Well, we can probably say Sweet Tea Season may have come to an end, Byron,
01:14but the sass of the modern day Southern Belle has gone to an entirely different level
01:18here in recent weeks.
01:20I'm glad you said that, Blake.
01:21When it comes to Delaney Creed, I want to see less of the Southern living inside the ring.
01:25I want to see that hardcore side of her that goes in there and gets the job done
01:30and worries about being nice after the match.
01:33That's certainly an entirely different look potentially there for Delaney Creed, of course.
01:39Byron, these two met back in mid-July where Rizzo was victorious
01:43and certainly changing the trajectory of the D'Angelo family
01:47and they're going to get things started here tonight.
01:52And this is about avenging that loss for Delaney Creed.
01:54Delaney Creed has a purpose in this match.
01:56To avenge that loss to Rizzo.
02:00We're now being joined here by the D'Angelo family.
02:03Wait, nobody told me about this.
02:04Stacks, how you doing?
02:06Nobody told me.
02:07I'm doing all right.
02:08Luca Crucifino.
02:09Hey, how are you?
02:10Welcome here to Level Up.
02:11What's up, guys?
02:12Hey, we're here to watch the Riz take care of Riz and hey,
02:14we had a little business agreement with my friend Blake here.
02:16Oh, okay.
02:17Listen, well, hold on.
02:18Before we talk about anything, can you explain to me what just took place
02:21between yourself and Blake?
02:23What kind of business arrangement do you have going on?
02:25Luca told me not to discuss any of this.
02:27It's between me and Blake, all right?
02:29Perfect.
02:30As we're getting the action started here, Stacks, I'm going to come to you.
02:32Whoa.
02:33I need to ask you, look at Riz taking care of Riz.
02:35There she is.
02:36But ultimately, Stacks, what has been going on with the Don?
02:38You know, we've been in a little rut lately.
02:40It's been a rocky few weeks, if you will, but the Don's looking better than ever.
02:44This Tuesday, you saw what he did.
02:46Hey, the Don's about to take care of business, all right?
02:49As he is.
02:50As right now, Luca Crucifino, we talked to you.
02:53You're someone who draws on the contracts of the Don.
02:56What was really going through his mind?
02:57How prepared was he for his recent bouts?
02:59The Don is ready, willing, and able to defeat Obafemi next Tuesday,
03:04and that's all I have to say.
03:05Well, and on that note, I don't know.
03:07I got to play devil's advocate, guys, here with all due respect.
03:10As you mentioned, Olga has rocked the foundation of the family.
03:13Man, speaking of rocking the foundation.
03:15Hey, you're good, Riz.
03:16There's got to be a little bit of nerve still there for the Don,
03:18knowing that he may not be able to get the job done against Obafemi.
03:22Listen, he's been training.
03:23The Don's been training harder than ever.
03:25He's ready for that next opportunity.
03:28He's going to take care of business because he's the Don of NXT.
03:32That's exactly right.
03:33I agree with you on the boss.
03:34As Adriana Rizzo here trying to stay alive right now.
03:36And Stacks, she's certainly stepped up as a member of the D'Angelo family.
03:40Listen, like I said, we've been in a rut.
03:42And Riz, with her speech to the Don, pulled him out of that rut.
03:46You see, I gave Riz a similar speech a few years back.
03:48Yes, you did.
03:49You see, Nikki from down the block when he stole her bike.
03:52Rizzo took that speech, and let me tell you,
03:55that kid was drinking out applesauce for the next three weeks.
03:58Yes, he was.
03:59Are you saying Rizzo took your speech and delivered it to the Don?
04:02Listen, she made her own, but I'll tell you what,
04:04it fired her up, and it's going to fire the Don up.
04:06Well, Stacks, Lucas, she certainly could use some help right now
04:09as Lainey Reid has taken over.
04:10And it's certainly been a busy month for Lainey Reid.
04:12We've seen her go against Danny Palmer, Lash Legend.
04:14And this is a very different look from those two opponents, Byron.
04:18A quick cover here.
04:19Into the cover.
04:20Hooks that outside leg.
04:21Hey, look, Stacks, Luca, you guys know firsthand.
04:24Yes, I would say that, and you would know.
04:26Riz has been the glue of the family.
04:29She motivates you guys.
04:30She keeps you guys together.
04:31But do you think what's been going on with the Don
04:33has been a little bit of a distraction?
04:34Here we go.
04:35Riz with the roll-up.
04:36Two.
04:37Right on the cusp, but only gets two.
04:38You may call it a distraction.
04:39But when you've got a family as strong as us, we stick together.
04:42And we get better in those moments, Byron.
04:44And that's what Riz is doing.
04:45She's going to take care of business today.
04:47I tell you that.
04:49Here we go.
04:50Lainey Reid into the cover.
04:51Hooks the outside leg.
04:52Byron, you said it best.
04:53She is the glue of the family.
04:54And she brings us all together.
04:55And that's exactly what she brings to the table.
04:57As Lainey Reid right now looking to take right over.
04:59Here's another cover.
05:00Come on, Riz.
05:01Kick.
05:02Only gets two.
05:03Not for nothing, I'm really impressed right now
05:04with what I'm seeing from Lainey Reid.
05:05She has had a sound game plan.
05:07Targeted the left arm of Riz.
05:09Riz is in trouble.
05:10Hey, listen.
05:11It only takes one right hand from Riz.
05:13She's like Rocky Balboa.
05:14She's got that right to put her down.
05:16Yes.
05:18And Byron, we've talked about many times here in recent weeks
05:21the increase of sass here from Lainey Reid.
05:23As those manners seemingly have gone right out the window.
05:25That's what you got to do.
05:26I mean, you can take a page out of the Riz's book.
05:28Oh!
05:29But Riz will do whatever it takes inside that ring to win.
05:31She is fearless.
05:32And I think Lainey Reid has to have that same attitude.
05:35Let's go, Riz.
05:36Take right back over here.
05:38And the Riz has already beaten Lainey Reid.
05:40She's already taken her out.
05:42And the Riz looking to build on that.
05:43Of course, the D'Angelo family looking to get right back
05:45in a championship position right here.
05:47And Rizzo.
05:48Northern Lights suplex.
05:50I've seen her throw people around like that all the time.
05:52Come on, Riz.
05:53She's fired up.
05:54And the Riz right now, who fired up the Don several weeks ago,
05:58and now looking to get right back in a position on her own.
06:01Takes out Lainey Reid here.
06:03One arm, no problem.
06:04Riz talking that junk.
06:05Oh, and Lainey Reid here.
06:06Maybe doing a little homework there, Byron.
06:08Stay in it, Riz.
06:09Come on.
06:10There you go, Riz.
06:11Come on.
06:12Get her.
06:13Oh, she messed up now.
06:14And Riz might be looking to teach Lainey Reid some manners
06:16here, Byron.
06:17Lainey Reid trying to go for a counter.
06:19How smart is that?
06:21Take what your opponent gives you.
06:23Once again, the target is the left arm.
06:25Oh!
06:26Oh, Riz.
06:27And that innovative offense by Lainey Reid.
06:29Look at Riz shift the weight back the other way.
06:31Oh, and right on the doorstep.
06:33That is the Riz.
06:34You see that fight inside the D'Angelo family?
06:37She's a fighter.
06:38Always continuing to push.
06:40But Lainey Reid here really looking to turn some heads
06:42with this whole new era of NXT.
06:45Oh!
06:46Twisting suplex.
06:47That's got to be it.
06:48That's got to be it.
06:49Byron, here we go into the cover.
06:51And Lainey Reid only gets two.
06:53Stacks consigliere.
06:54You guys have to be a little bit worried right now.
06:56Listen, we know Riz has got this.
06:59She digs deep.
07:00Let's take another look right here.
07:01Lainey Reid digging deep into the playbook right now.
07:04She's looking for a very big win.
07:06And Byron, what would a win for Lainey Reid do here
07:08over Adriana Rizzo?
07:09Lainey Reid understands this would be her marquee win,
07:12would be her first win here on Level Up.
07:14If she can avenge the loss from a few months ago
07:16and gets Riz.
07:17Speaking of counters here, nice job by Riz
07:19coming back the other way.
07:20Into the cover.
07:21Only gets two.
07:22She's had a moment.
07:23Serves it up with a taste of Rizzo.
07:26That's what I'm talking about, Riz.
07:27The Riz takes care of this.
07:30That's what she does.
07:31Here is your winner, Adriana Rizzo.
07:37As stacks and the consigliere, Luca Crusofino,
07:40explode in celebration for victory.
07:43Let's take another look here.
07:44Adriana Rizzo digging deep there, Byron.
07:47And as the DiAngelo family, in the midst of a very emotional time,
07:50gets a much needed victory.
07:52Take that motivation, lend it on to the dawn,
07:56and let's see what happens in the very near future
07:58talking this Tuesday.
08:00As earlier today, Sarah Shriver caught up with this superstar,
08:03ready to make a big initial impact.
