(hip hop music) (crowd murmuring) (bell ringing) The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, Trick Williams. Trick Williams said that this is the biggest test he has faced in NXT. Said he was gonna molly wop Breakker here tonight. Is Trick ready for this sort of matchup? Indeed, Trick is looking to prove something to himself and all he has to do is beat Bron Breakker here tonight, yes.
It's a little bit easier said than done, Book. But Trick Williams, is he up to the test? Is he up to the task as Williams goes one-on-one with Breakker, our main event next. (hip hop music continues) (crowd murmuring) (dog barking) (crowd booing) (siren wailing) (pounding rock music) (crowd booing) Making his way to the ring, Bron Breakker. (rock music continues) (crowd booing) Welcome to the main event, Trick.
(rock music continues) (crowd booing) What a match this is gonna be, Vic, I can't wait 'til the bell. I look at Trick Williams, he's a specimen, he's carved out of granite. But then I look across the ring and I see Bron Breakker, the pedigree, the DNA, aside of all that, Vic, no bread, no water, just meat. Williams has not taken his eyes off of Breakker and quickly right on the bell, these two going right at each other, Bron in his own words said tonight is not about a W,
it's about putting Trick in the hospital. He's trying to prove something to himself here tonight, Vic, like I said. Trick wants go out here and prove that he's not a follower, he's a leader, man. And tonight he's got a hell of a chance to do it. Oh, big dropkick by Trick, he needs to slow down a little bit, he needs to slow down just a little bit. He's playing with a lot of emotions right now. And look at Williams go, just unleashing on Breakker. Yeah right now, Trick Williams is moving, he's moving at a high pace. And that's when you could run into something big, Vic.
We saw that video from NXT Anonymous on Twitter, the NXT champion Carmelo Hayes seemed worried about tonight, seemed worried about Trick Williams. But Trick Williams has come here and is handling business right now. Trick rolling downhill, but there's always the shot that you don't see coming, that'd knock you right out and right now, Trick Williams, he's rolling. Whoa. He's looking real good. He's representin'. With a big pump kick and Breakker rocked all the way out right in front of us.
Williams is on fire right now! I like it, Vic, I like the attitude from Trick Williams. Yeah, you may like it, but I don't like where this is headed right now, right out here in front of us. Book, you are quite the magnet when it comes to this sort of action. Oh yes! This is a fight, Vic. This is a fight, Trick taking it to the limit! What's on Williams' mind right now? Williams looking around. Move your ass. Williams, and, ooh. (crowd clamoring) (crowd barking) Breakker was able to weather that early storm, an emotional storm I want to add, of Trick Williams and Breakker now, look at Bron.
Instead of going for the cover, he's beating the hell out of Trick Williams. Take another look at this impact, Book, right here in front of us, oh. Busting our one monitor up, but I'm more worried right now about the wellbeing of Trick Williams. This is a different Bron Breakker. Just a brutal beat down, this is vicious right here right now. Bron Breakker's proving why he's the man here in NXT. Something has been unleashed within the former NXT champion.
I mean, we heard him earlier tonight. Do you side with Bron that he hasn't had an attitude change, he's just stopped caring? Yes, I agree with him 100%. Sometimes you come in here and you represent for the NXT universe, you can't do that. (crowd chanting) You can hear the NXT universe as Breakker off the suplex, floats over and, (crowd booing) Let me tell you, Breaks away from the litter, does it not, Book? Bron Breakker has turned into, what I see, as himself, Vic, this is the real Bron Breakker.
This is the most dangerous, the most vicious Bron Breakker I've seen since I've been sitting at this desk. (crowd chanting "You still suck") That's motivation, Vic. That's fuel for Bron Breakker. Well, he has been blaming, and he did so earlier tonight, the NXT universe. Do you stand by him with those comments, as well? That's fuel, you hear the fans right now, they turned against him. They didn't buy into the Bron Breakker machine. And right now, Bron Breakker's breaking it off on the fans. Oh, Trick Williams now trying to fight back and instead, Breakker just slamming the door shut.
And now Williams, Williams trying to get that second wind, firing right back and Williams grew up with Hayes, says it's almost like a sense of duty. He needs to stand, oh, he tried to stand up and got dropped. Cover by Breakker, hook of the leg, and Williams just able to continue to fight. Trick Williams, more of a street fighter, Vic, right now he's dealing with a guy that's been disciplined his whole life to go out there and wreck shots, like oh my God.
Sudden impact. (crowd cheering) NXT universe is on top of Bron Breakker in this moment. As I was saying, for Trick Williams, something to prove tonight. The fans, the universe is all on Bron Breakker but that's bad news for Trick Williams, Vic. (crowd chanting) And Breakker, oh, just got caught and Williams following it right up. Nice combination for Williams, and Booker, can this be the moment now for Trick Williams? This is deep water. It's a position Trick Williams hasn't been in too often.
He said he wants to prove he's everything that he says he is. This is now maybe, maybe the best opportunity. Listen to the NXT universe. (crowd chanting "Trick) No doubt who they're behind tonight as Trick Williams trying to chop down Breakker. Yes, Trick landed a modified neck breaker, got him back in the game. Right now he's got a lot of momentum going right now. You wanna cash in, don't waste no time, son. Don't waste too much time!
NXT Universe on their feet for Williams. (crowd chanting) And look at Williams, just planted Breakker. This could be it, this could be it, cover, and Bron kicking out just before the count of three. And maybe it was that momentary hesitation, but Trick Williams, bam, showing the world something here tonight. Beautiful book end there by Trick Williams. Oh gets caught, hoisted, planted by Breakker. (crowd clamoring)
And Bron, trying to go to the ribs. Gotta fight free one more time, Breakker though, holding on, nice kick, nice little separation here for Williams, who may be able to knock those cobwebs free. Trick Williams is fighting for his life in there. Say that again. Gotta do what you gotta do in this situation, oh! (crowd clamoring) Monster spear, Breakker not going for the cover. Recliner Reclining back. Is Williams gonna tap? Williams trying to fight, pain etched on the face of Williams, oh, and now it's cinched in deep, no choice but to tap.
(bell ringing) (crowd booing) (pounding rock music) Here is your winner by submission, Bron Breakker. Williams brought his best here tonight, but Bron Breakker was able to really counter just about everything Williams threw at him. First, it was the spear, and then instead of going for the pin, he wanted to make Williams tap out. (rock music continues) (crowd booing) Come on, Ref. Breakker's not done. Don't forget what Breakker promised. He promised to put Williams in the hospital. But the champ is here! (crowd cheering) Hayes!
Hayes couldn't stand by. He couldn't see what was gonna happen to Williams. And look at Hayes flying through the, dang! Oh my God. (crowd clamoring) (crowd booing) You've never lost to me. NXT Battleground, this is gonna be mine. (crowd chanting "You still suck.") (pounding rock music)
