FunTranscript
00:00I'm going to do it again.
00:25Right in the thick of a new era of NXT on the CW Network.
00:54The superstars prepare for next Sunday.
00:56Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Halloween Havoc.
00:59Welcome to Level Up.
01:00Level Up, Level Up, Level Up, Level Up, Level Up, Level Up, Level Up, Level Up.
01:13The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
01:18Introducing first, Tasha DuPont and Tyreek Eaglin.
01:25The action started tonight in the NXT Tag Team Division.
01:29And Byron, if you listen to the NXT Universe, TNT ready to explode.
01:34A team that brings the explosivity and a pure ray of power.
01:39It's infectious excitement, Blake.
01:41Indeed it is.
01:42You welcome in ringside here.
01:43Blake Tower and Byron Saxton.
01:45Byron pushing right towards Halloween Havoc.
01:47Have you picked out your costume yet?
01:49Well, I'm deciphering some sort of combination between Flat Stanley, Wolfman, and Dork the Clown.
01:55Still finalizing the plans though.
02:17And their opponents, but team up, Carlos Lewis and Niko Vance.
02:31Well, we go from TNT to a couple of Vance brothers here.
02:34Formerly home on the gridiron, but bonding over their mutual love of pain and destruction.
02:40As this newfound tag team looks to make their mark in the new era of NXT.
02:44It goes beyond that, Blake.
02:45I did my research.
02:46I did a little speaking to both Niko Vance and Harlem Lewis.
02:50I won't say it was a pleasant experience, but apparently these two also bonded over the fact that they've been kicked out of organizations that they love.
02:57Niko Vance was kicked off his college football team for fighting teammates.
03:00And Harlem Lewis was kicked out of his local gym for finishing fights.
03:05It's almost like two kindred spirits coming together.
03:08I've never heard of a story like that before.
03:09Trying to find their love inside the ring.
03:11And I don't know if we'll ever hear a story like that quite again.
03:14As Niko Vance getting things started here with Tyreek Igwe.
03:17And of course, here by him in this new era of NXT, a very stacked tag team division.
03:21There's a tag to Harlem Lewis.
03:23How does Tyson and Tyreek get the attention of the general manager?
03:26Well, in a stacked tag team division, if you want the attention of NXT general manager Ava,
03:30you have to continue that upward trajectory of success.
03:34We have to see continued improvements.
03:35And most importantly, I need to see Tyson DuPont and Tyreek Igwe have some marquee victories here in NXT.
03:42To earn them a future title opportunity.
03:44We certainly saw them earlier this year in that best of three with Hank and
03:47Tate, pushed them to the limit.
03:49And as you said, Byron,
03:50a signature victory would certainly do a lot to move them right up the charts.
03:53And by the way, happy anniversary, not to you, of Tyson DuPont,
03:57Tyreek Igwe celebrating their two year anniversary.
04:01I was gonna say, I didn't get you a card.
04:03I thought you were going to me there first.
04:04I thought you were the type to do that anyway.
04:06I know you're Mr. Card.
04:07I am.
04:08As right now, Harlem Lewis trying to stay in control here against Tyreek Igwe.
04:13And of course, Harlem Lewis, that decorated football background,
04:17one of the top players in the Italian League.
04:19And now, of course, trying to get it done inside the squared circle here.
04:22And of course, that focus pressure on Tyreek Igwe.
04:25Always seeing one thing a step ahead of his opponent.
04:27This is what's scary about Igwe DuPont.
04:30Two men who obviously have the size and power advantage most times in the match.
04:35But it's the freaky agility that we see as well.
04:39As Tyson DuPont exploding right through Harlem Lewis there.
04:42And of course, we've seen Tyson and Tyreek against the likes of the D'Angelo
04:45family, former tag team champions.
04:47Gallus, former tag team champions, going toe to toe with no quarter catch crew.
04:51It's almost like they're going right here in the trenches.
04:53And you see that right now, how they've kind of cut off the ring a little bit.
04:56Working in sync with each other.
04:58That's just experience as a tag team.
05:00Knowing where your partner is at all times.
05:02Quick tags, keeping the freshman in and showing out.
05:05Ouch.
05:06And Tyson DuPont knocking Nico Vance off the apron here right in front of us.
05:09And Harlem Lewis- My.
05:11Gets launched over top onto his tag team partner.
05:14And TNT sending it off right here, Byron.
05:16I don't know about you.
05:16I feel like DuPont and Igwe are a little more fired up than usual.
05:19Brushing up the buttocks and putting on a show here on Level Up.
05:22A little extra added motivation tonight to move right on back up the ladder here
05:26in NXT is a little pump fake by Nico Vance.
05:29But Harlem Lewis.
05:30That was smart.
05:31That was real smart.
05:32Taking out the left knee of Tyson DuPont.
05:34And just like that, Nico Vance and Harlem Lewis in control.
05:38Using diversionary tactics as a first time tag team.
05:42Really impressive on the part of Nico Vance and Harlem Lewis.
05:44Let's take another look right there.
05:46Heads up move by Harlem Lewis to take out the wheel of Tyson DuPont and Byron.
05:50We talked about them bonding over getting kicked out of various organizations.
05:53They also bonded over both debuting against NXT Skull War, Dante Chen.
05:58A very interesting common thread there for both these men.
06:02But you see that all the time.
06:04You spend so much time training at the performance center,
06:06trying to better your craft.
06:08Some guys you just click with.
06:10And apparently that's the case with Nico Vance and Harlem Lewis.
06:14Saito suplex right there into the cover.
06:16Hooks that outside leg to Nico Vance.
06:18As Tyreke Igwe chomping at the bit to get into the ring here.
06:21And right now Tyson DuPont looks like he's only on one wheel.
06:23That's a bad situation, especially, I mean, Tyson DuPont,
06:27he's got those tree trunk legs that are like 38 inches.
06:31Guy just deadlifted 765 pounds this week, brand new record.
06:35I hate to correct you there, Byron, I believe it was actually 767 pounds.
06:39Stick with me.
06:40Listen, when you're getting that high, that's very elite.
06:43And that double team work here on display as Harlem Lewis into the cover.
06:48Hooks the outside leg of Tyson DuPont, only gets two.
06:51As Vance and Lewis have looked at themselves as somewhat as supply and
06:54demand.
06:55You have to wonder potentially how valuable could their services be here in
06:57the tag team division?
06:58Well, these are two ultra aggressive guys.
07:01They inhale aggression like they do pre-workout.
07:03Here we go, going back the other way.
07:05So for a tag team like this to get some experience under their belt,
07:09all the other tag teams in this division are gonna be on, have to be on notice.
07:13And it could start tonight if they can score the upset win against Tyson DuPont
07:17and Tyreke Igwe.
07:18Dragon screw leg rip there by Harlem Lewis.
07:21Cutting the ring right in half here, keeping Tyson DuPont isolated.
07:25And Byron, how often is a team this new, this dangerous?
07:28You don't see it very often.
07:29But again, you go back to the kindred spirits idea.
07:31Both men who are operating on the same wavelength.
07:34They don't care about their opponent's health or well-being.
07:36In some ways, they don't even care about their own well-being.
07:38They just want to cause destruction and pain.
07:41That pain and destruction is exactly what you're seeing right here.
07:43Nico Vance with that head-butt based offense.
07:46Grey on orthodox right there.
07:47And then takes out Tyson DuPont here, going right back to work on that leg.
07:52And this is rarefied air right now for Tyson DuPont.
07:55We don't normally see him in this situation where he's got a bad will that
07:58he's got to somehow overcome.
08:00Tyson DuPont here trying to feed off of the NXT universe.
08:04Tyreke Igwe chomping the bit, ready to get back in this matchup.
08:07As Nico Vance looking to keep DuPont isolated.
08:10There's a tag to Harlem Lewis.
08:11And here comes Tyreke Igwe.
08:14Refresh Tyreke Igwe going to town.
08:17And Tyreke, of course, just like his tag team partner, an extensive track and
08:22field background.
08:23But he's really starting to get it going inside the ring.
08:25And the thing about Tyreke, the man's got a short fuse.
08:28It doesn't take a whole lot to set him off.
08:30And we're seeing him unleash.
08:33As Nico Vance here, he's taken right out.
08:36As Igwe lives by the mantra, power to create and get out of all that you desire.
08:40Goodness.
08:41And just like that.
08:42See you, bye.
08:43Look at the connection.
08:44And here comes Harlem Lewis the other way.
08:47And Tyreke Igwe able to hold on.
08:48Byron, this one's starting to break down a bit here.
08:50It's breaking down, but I love it.
08:52And Igwe taking down Harlem Lewis.
08:55Here's the tag into Tyson DuPont.
08:59And right into position here, Byron.
09:00Trying to get some blood flow back in the left leg.
09:03On one wheel.
09:05And it's time to explode with a heart stopper.
09:12That was impressive.
09:15Here are your winners, Tyreke Igwe and Tyson DuPont.
09:23Setting off for TNT right here.
09:25Tyreke Igwe.
09:26We're going to stay one step ahead of the competition going one on two.
09:30And Byron, we talked about them really coming together.
09:32We talked about that chemistry.
09:33Right up against their two year anniversary.
09:36And an opportune time starting to click.
09:38And that could be the signature win Tyson and Tyreke have been looking for.
09:41I absolutely agree with you Blake.
09:43This is the kind of performance you want.
09:45You faced adversity, you beat adversity, and you earned a victory along with it.
09:49As earlier today, Byron, you had the opportunity to catch up with this
09:52superstar ready to unleash the fruit.
09:56Malik, tonight on Level Up, you go one on one with Tavion Heights.
10:00You got to tell me, what's your mindset heading into the match?
10:04Well, sexing up, my mindset, this is doing good.
10:07Malik Blade versus Tavion Heights.
10:09That brother is the real deal.
10:12A Pan Am Games champion, and somebody who knows his way around that ring.
10:17But sexting, you want to hear something that you don't know,
10:20others don't know either, you want to hear something?
10:21Yeah, sure.
10:22They don't know that Malik Blade also did amateur wrestling.
10:25For about four years, if you're counting.
10:27They don't know that Malik Blade has an identical twin brother,
10:29same face size, everything.
10:30A fact check me on that.
10:32And they don't know that Malik Blade don't got a quitting bone in his body.
10:37Idris is down, but I ain't out.
10:39And tonight, Tavion can get a first hand view on what all that looks like.
10:43Thanks, Sexton.
10:46Coming up, two rising stars in the absolutely stacked NXT Women's Division
10:50first set for action.
10:51Layla Diggs looking to build some confidence,
10:53takes on the Southern Sass of Lady Reed.
10:56That is next.
10:57I got that fire that most teams been needing like a train full of steam,
11:02I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding,
11:07I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding,
11:11I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding,
11:15I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding,
11:19I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding,
11:24I got that fire that most teams been needing like a train full of steam,
11:28I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding, I'm speeding,
11:31down the one way track to my purpose and my meaning.
11:39Next April, Las Vegas has never had a show like this.
11:47I've been focused on the future right now.
11:57Welcome to WrestleMania.
12:03What happens here becomes legendary.
12:10WrestleMania from Las Vegas.
12:12Two day combo tickets on sale next Friday.
12:14Scan the code now to register for exclusive pre-sale opportunities.
12:19Byron WrestleMania 41 weekly approach.
12:22Can you believe it already?
12:23Unreal.
12:26The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
12:30Introducing first, Layla Diggs.
12:36Well, she's bubbly, chipper, and has a growing confidence for
12:38the Fresno, California native.
12:39But Byron, she's beginning to face a bit of adversity.
12:42As a couple of weeks ago on Level Up, her friendliness overtakes were not well-received.
12:48Hard lesson that Layla Diggs had to learn, but
12:50that's all part of the maturation process here at NXT.
12:53And her opponent, Lady Rae.
13:06And Byron, let's take a look at those comments from a couple of weeks ago.
13:09Keep your chin up.
13:14Thanks, kid.
13:14I guess.
13:16Hey, Lainey, Rizzo's right.
13:18I know you wanted to win, but you keep impressing everyone every time you go out
13:21there.
13:22Aw, did I ask for your opinion, sweetheart?
13:25Yeah, didn't think so.
13:27How about you just worry about yourself, okay?
13:30A little feistiness from Lady Rae.
13:35That's an understatement there, as in recent weeks,
13:37we've certainly seen a whole new side.
13:40Listen, when I think about it, I'm not really surprised by that response from
13:44Lainey Reed.
13:45That's actually a response you expect to have from someone like Lainey Reed.
13:49But let's think about this for a second, Blake.
13:51Lainey Reed has not won a match here in eight months.
13:54Eight months of a losing streak.
13:56That would drive anyone bonkers.
13:58Might be time to shift gears indeed.
13:59And we've seen Lainey Reed try to increase her aggression,
14:03adjust her style a little bit.
14:04And it still hasn't worked.
14:05When you have people who are offensive like Layla Diggs,
14:08who try to encourage you, sometimes it just feels like a bloodsucking mosquito.
14:11You just want to get them away from you.
14:12You don't want to hear them.
14:13That's certainly one way to look at it.
14:15But of course, as Lainey Reed's looking for her first victory,
14:18Layla Diggs also looking to shoot right up the charts.
14:20And to that point, Byron,
14:21is this the type of conflict that Layla needs to grow in NXT?
14:25Layla Diggs has been very open about her insecurities, about being shy,
14:29about having a break out of her shell now that she's in this world of NXT.
14:32So this is a great example for Layla Diggs to try to find that inner voice
14:38of hers where she can silence the doubt.
14:40Nice takedown by Layla Diggs as she looks to be in control right there.
14:44Silence the lack of confidence and step up to a competitor like Lainey Reed.
14:48Oh, and there's that track and field background.
14:50That athleticism on full display of Layla Diggs here.
14:54And of course, we saw recently Adriana Rizzo motivate the Don of NXT,
14:59Tony D'Angelo, all the way to championship gold.
15:01You think the Riz had any words of motivation tonight for Layla Diggs?
15:05Well, we've seen in the past that the Riz has certainly encouraged Layla Diggs to
15:08embrace the big C, embrace confidence.
15:10So I would have no doubt that she's continuing to do that.
15:13And let's give some praise, let's get some flowers to Layla Diggs for
15:17putting herself in a vulnerable position to go up to Lainey Reed and
15:20try to be that person to help her get over her losing blues, if you will.
15:25Yes, certainly trying to level up Lainey Reed, if you will, and
15:28it kind of backfired in a way.
15:29But now Layla looking to prove herself and
15:31send her own message to the modern day Southern Belt.
15:33These two exchanging blows right now in the NXT universe here,
15:38it seems to be divided by a few.
15:40You can't really worry about what the universe is saying.
15:42I'll respect that right now.
15:44It's about two ladies who desperately need to earn themselves a victory.
15:48As Diggs tries to create a bit of separation from the outside back in.
15:51And a drop kick by Layla Diggs, and Layla goes for the cover.
15:57We're gonna gain some confidence right here.
15:59And I'm starting to feel like Lainey's words to Layla maybe igniting a little
16:05bit of fire in the soul of Layla Diggs.
16:07As Layla right now trying to control the pace of.
16:11And that's certainly a way to derail that momentum as Lainey Reed digging deep
16:16into the bag of tricks.
16:17And this matchup, you almost have to wonder is this frustration taken out?
16:25Is this not just towards Layla Diggs?
16:27Is this also towards Adriana Rizzo?
16:29And it is, it's not just Rizzo.
16:31It's her career, okay?
16:33Lainey Reed is frustrated with her career.
16:36She's frustrated with not winning.
16:38So anyone who is in her way is going to see the wrath of her frustration.
16:42That's what it is.
16:43Are you talking about that losing streak amounting to almost nine months now?
16:46Is this now Lainey straying away from her core values that she instilled upon
16:50herself when she-
16:50No, it's not that you're straying away.
16:52Lainey Reed is still a sweet lady.
16:55She'll still give you sweet tea on a hot summer day.
16:58But at the same time, everyone has more than one side.
17:01Everyone has an extra gear.
17:03Lainey Reed is now finding out what her extra gear consists of.
17:07This might be the unsweet tea version of Lainey Reed here.
17:10That was cute.
17:11As Lainey, twisting suplex.
17:14Layla Diggs down.
17:16And Layla able to power out right here.
17:18As you all see that frustration beginning to set in here for Lainey Reed.
17:21As she's doing her best to get noticed right now.
17:23Let's take another look.
17:25Nice rotation there.
17:26But the NXT Women's Division, Byron, as stacked as ever.
17:30Everywhere you look, new faces, new competition to deal with.
17:35I always say it all the time.
17:36If you don't rise with that competition, you get left behind.
17:39If you don't adjust, if you don't evolve, you get left behind.
17:42There's a lot of pressure on every single superstar in the Women's Division.
17:46Layla Diggs trying to fight right here.
17:48Of course, we've seen big debuts like Google, Stephanie Vacker, and
17:50of course, the return of Nikita Lyons.
17:53A lot of buzz about Nikita Lyons.
17:55Here we go, inside cradle, Layla Diggs.
17:57Coming back to NXT.
17:59Of course, a lot of targets right now.
18:03Roxanne Perez, Kalani Drogan, the NXT Women's Champion,
18:06the NXT Women's North American Champion.
18:08But look at Layla Diggs fight here, Byron.
18:10This is a new type of fight that we've seen from Layla.
18:12You have an opponent that brings the aggression to you, you better respond.
18:16And Layla Diggs has responded.
18:18And Layla starting to feel the fire inside.
18:22Takes down Lainey Reed, and a big sweeping kick right there.
18:26And Layla's starting to feel it.
18:27The way this match is going, Blake, this will think of backfire for Lainey Reed.
18:31Layla Diggs could be on the verge of getting the W.
18:34Layla could end up picking up that win before Lainey.
18:38That would certainly drive Lainey further into the abyss.
18:41Here we go.
18:42Into the outstretched arms here of Layla Diggs.
18:44Power on display by Diggs.
18:47And Layla now, standing moonsault.
18:49There's the cover.
18:50This is-
18:50The shoulders are down.
18:51Layla Diggs right on the cusp.
18:56And now Layla will have to continue to fight here.
19:01Very smart by Layla Diggs.
19:03We saw earlier from Lainey Reed.
19:04Don't let frustration halt your offensive attack.
19:07Stay on your opponent.
19:10And Layla maybe a bit overzealous there.
19:13And eats the knee of Lainey Reed.
19:17And now Lainey into a pinning combination here.
19:22Oh, with a bit of an assist.
19:24And throw those banners out the window.
19:26Yeah, that's a certain bit of the rule book.
19:28Here is your winner, Lainey Reed.
19:33Look, don't look at me like that.
19:34I'm not condoning this.
19:36But Lainey Reed did what she had to do.
19:39Lainey Reed can now say she has won her first match here on Level Up.
19:43Certainly a way to gain your first win here on Level Up for Lainey Reed.
19:48But Byron coming up, it's two ultra-athletic superstars set for battle
19:52as Malik Blade looks to prove himself on his own
19:54as he takes on no-quarter catch crew suplex master, Tavia Hype.
19:59Your main event is next.
20:13Next Sunday.
20:44Unleash the Havoc.
21:02NXT Halloween Havoc.
21:09Excuse me, Lainey Reed.
21:10Can you address what just happened out there?
21:12What are you even talking about?
21:14I did what I had to do to finally get a win.
21:16I told Ayla Dix that she needed to worry about herself.
21:19And, sweetheart, maybe you should.
21:20Hey, Lainey, what was that?
21:22Bless her heart.
21:24I don't know what her problem is, but this ain't over.
21:30Oh, it's main event time.
21:37The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
21:41Introducing first, Malik Blade.
21:46Well, Laila Dix certainly looks to fight more than ever before after that one.
21:50But it's been a few months now of deep thinking and an attempt
21:52to reset as a singles competitor with best friend and partner,
21:56Idris Sanofi, on the shelf due to injury for the time being.
21:58The Freak ready to unleash here on Level Up.
22:02Unexpected things will happen to your career.
22:05Unexpected happenings.
22:07Unexpected opportunities.
22:09This is an opportunity for Malik Blade to show out as a singles star here at NXT.
22:17And his opponent, representing the No Corner Catch Crew,
22:21accompanied by Miles Moore, Tavion Price.
22:28Shot right out of a cannon into our main event.
22:30And, Byron, ever since his debut just under two years ago,
22:33the former Olympian has been a top level prospect
22:36and really seems to have now found his footing with the No Corner Catch Crew.
22:40You know, a lot of times we see so many incredible athletes walk through the door
22:43of the WWE Performance Center and we say the same thing you just said, Blake.
22:46Oh, incredible athlete, bright future, so much potential.
22:50Here's a guy in Tavion Heights who continues to turn corner after corner and
22:55get better and prove that it's not just potential,
22:58there is genuine greatness that he is reaching week in and week out.
23:02That pedigree is beginning to pay off for Tavion Heights here on the NXT roster.
23:06As he's going right to his bread and butter early.
23:09Taking Malik Blade right to the canvas.
23:10There's a quick one.
23:11And now Malik Blade in singles action, Byron.
23:13How big of an opportunity is this for Blade to really break out on his own?
23:17Emotionally, it's tough.
23:18Malik Blade won't lie to you and tell you that.
23:20And you would know if you've had a tag team partner by your side for
23:23months and years, it's awkward.
23:26But to Malik Blade's credit, talking to him, I see in his eyes there's an excitement
23:31about the road that lies ahead.
23:33Not to say his tag team with Idris Elba is all, but excitement by Heights.
23:37But excitement about what he can accomplish in this new world of his.
23:41And body locker bust mentality there by Tavion Heights.
23:44And of course, Malik Blade over the last couple of months has had several chances,
23:47whether it be here on Level Up, on NXT, or even main event.
23:51And Byron, it looks like early on,
23:52he's certainly hanging as a singles competitor.
23:54Idris Elba is watching every single match.
23:56As Blade told me, they talk before every match, they take study afterwards.
24:00So his partner very much in his corner supporting him, and that's so key.
24:03When you have that support system,
24:05you have somebody who you can trust that can speak wonders to your career.
24:09Look at Malik Blade there, that 40 inch vertical leap on full display.
24:14This is a superstar who's got no issues dunking a basketball.
24:17So Byron, he certainly can take to the skies.
24:19Throw him into a couple NBA preseason games, he'll fit right in.
24:21As Malik Blade here trying to control against Tavion Heights.
24:26But once again, Tavion going right back to work.
24:29But look at Malik Blade with that nice counter.
24:30This is very smart.
24:31When you know how explosive Tavion Heights can be, how quickly he can snatch you and
24:36switch the trajectory of this match, you better keep him grounded as long as you can.
24:41Byron, of course, we talked about Idris Elba.
24:42He was, of course, taken out several months back by Brooks Jensen.
24:46You have to think somewhere in the back of Malik's mind,
24:48Brooks Jensen still looking to get a piece from Malik Blade.
24:53You wanna think about that, but
24:54at the same time, you cannot let that buy up too much real estate in your mind.
24:58Speaking of Brooks Jensen, we know Tavion Heights.
25:00Speaking of turning corners, just on WWE main event, and who did he face, Blake?
25:04Indeed, Brooks Jensen, very big week for Tavion Heights.
25:08And that's been a big couple months.
25:09This is a man who went to Japan, competed for Pro Wrestling NOAH for
25:13an entire month, learned a whole new style.
25:15Even learned a new appreciation of respect when it comes to professional wrestling.
25:19As Blade with a crossbody, only gets two.
25:22Of course, part of a very prestigious tournament there for
25:25Pro Wrestling NOAH was Tavion Heights.
25:27And now look at Malik Blade with the counter.
25:29Shoulders are down.
25:30Tavion able to kick out here as Malik Blade going right back to the offensive
25:34attack, Malik a little more aggressive here tonight.
25:38Another near fall as Malik Blade really trying to show out here.
25:41A couple close calls there.
25:43Tavion Heights wisely out of the way.
25:46And Tavion, that's what you had to avoid.
25:50Just like that, the suplex master launches Malik Blade overhead.
25:55And now it's all Tavion Heights.
25:56That's all the, I'll tell you, just take a look.
25:59This is beautiful.
26:00Not so much for Malik Blade.
26:03With everything going on at Tavion Heights career,
26:05even currently in the WWE Speed Tournament.
26:07Like everything is firing on all cylinders for Tavion Heights in his career.
26:11And of course, Byron, as the former Olympian,
26:13that Speed Tournament sets up very well for him to be successful.
26:16Darn right it does.
26:17As Heights, of course, now one of the pillars of No Quarter Catch Crew.
26:23Byron, what has he really meant ever since he's joined this faction?
26:25I think in many ways, No Quarter Catch Crew had to kind of regroup and
26:29rediscover who they are.
26:30Tavion Heights was the missing piece that they needed.
26:34Being around Tavion Heights, not just in the ring, but in the gym.
26:38His dietary habits, his workout.
26:40Here we go into the cover.
26:41Innovative suplex, hooks the outside leg.
26:43Only gets two.
26:44Being around Tavion Heights as a competitor makes every competitor around him better.
26:50And Tavion here, let's take another look.
26:53At the power and strength of Tavion Heights.
26:54Byron, he can come out of any position.
26:56I think Malik Blade had to know that doing his tape study on Tavion Heights.
27:01He tried to keep him grounded, but so many have tried and failed miserably.
27:05And of course, we talk right now about a lot of opportunity.
27:09Tavion Heights has a great opportunity.
27:12Here up and down goes Blade.
27:15Into the cover.
27:16Tavion, right on the doorstep.
27:19And that only gets two.
27:20But Byron, to the point we were making,
27:21we have seen a few iterations of the no-quarter catch crew.
27:24And now with Tavion Heights as a big pillar,
27:26this very well could be the strongest this faction's ever been.
27:29Always as it translates into victories, we've certainly seen that share.
27:32We've seen it at the top of Charlie Dempsey in the Heritage Cup.
27:35Tavion Heights right there on the cusp of championship gold in his own right.
27:39And look at Heights.
27:40That's a fine adjustment he made right there.
27:43Takes down by Blade in the cover.
27:45And only gets two right there.
27:47Miles Bourne very happy with what he sees.
27:50I used to be happy.
27:51I don't know, I say a little concerned that Tavion Heights maybe hasn't
27:54ended this as quickly as he expected.
27:56Tavion, you see that explosion out of the corner right there.
28:01But during that tour of Japan there, Byron,
28:02he has to have added a lot more to his arsenal.
28:04Yeah, he added a lot more mentally and physically.
28:09And sometimes people will tell you, a lot of veterans in our world will tell you,
28:13it's the mental approach that matters most.
28:15Go, cover.
28:16Down.
28:18That's the difference between floating in your career and
28:21championship Hall of Fame success.
28:23Your mentality, how you see yourself inside that ring.
28:27Byron, speaking of championship success,
28:28Trick Williams has that target right back on him.
28:31As we head towards Halloween Havoc.
28:33And you have to wonder, what will he do differently this time around?
28:36I'm sure Trick Williams learned a lot from his first championship reign as
28:39NXT champion.
28:40This time around, it's not gonna be any easier.
28:43That bullseye gets bigger and bigger come Halloween Havoc.
28:46Trick Williams, he must be ready.
28:49Of course, that wheel made a whole lot of noise this past Tuesday.
28:52Crucifix, nice counter by Blade.
28:54Only gets two.
28:56As Malik Blade, as a part of Halloween Havoc a couple of years back,
29:00would love to get right back into position yet again.
29:03As Tabion Heights now, he's only got one boot on.
29:08But still finding a way to compete.
29:10But look at Malik.
29:10Can't worry about a wardrobe malfunction now, but Malik Blade.
29:13There's that blockbuster, and Malik's starting to feel it.
29:18Tabion Heights mishap could be a gift delivered straight to Malik Blade.
29:23And now, a comfortable Malik is up top.
29:25Right in the outstretched arms there of Tabion Heights.
29:28I know.
29:30Could have been a huge mistake.
29:31What a counter.
29:33Malik Blade with the DDT.
29:36Rolls over Heights, shoulders are down.
29:39And Tabion able to hang on.
29:41Byron, what a back and forth.
29:42This has been an awesome match, a main event worthy match.
29:46How about Tabion Heights was done, was showing a little movement.
29:48Yet, once again surprises us with new life.
29:52Tabion's been letting it fly all match with that Greco Roman background.
29:56And now Malik Blade looking to take his own aerial ability to the next level.
29:59Rewind, hit play.
30:00Let's do it one more time.
30:02And Tabion's gonna follow him in.
30:04The way Malik Blade wanted.
30:05As Malik creates that separation yet again from up top.
30:09And he turns in to a suplex right, and Tabion soars to victory.
30:16Here is your winner, Tabion Heights.
30:25A much more excited Miles Ford after the bell.
30:28Miles Ford was a little bit during that match up.
30:32It was a back and forth contest, hard fight.
30:36Well, man, Tabion Heights have to earn it.
30:38High risk, no reward for Malik Blade.
30:41Walks right in to a suplex ride.
30:45And Tabion Heights shifts that momentum, continues to expand his arsenal.
30:49And whether it's a singles competition or tag team competition alongside Miles
30:53Ford, no quarter catcher looking to move right up the charts here in NXT.
30:58It's your story.
30:59It's your story.
31:00It's your story.
31:01It's your story.
