They run through today's card.
We take a look at the Men's North American Title Match with a video package.
We take a look at Jasper Troy and Je'Von Evans.
Blake Howard talked to Jasper.
Blake asks about Jasper's journey to WWE. He says he doesn't like to talk about his past. He says he loves contact. When he played football at Kansas, he kicked someone and stood over him and wanted to pound his head into the turf. That is what he is here to do in WWE. If he has to leave a trail of bodies, that is fine.
He is asked what winning LFG means. He says he was motivated by Booker, Bubba, and the Undertaker. He was told that he has to take advantage of situations. He says he is not here to make friends, he is here to conquer.
Jasper is asked about his feud with Oba Femi and moving on to Je'Von Evans. Jasper says Evans grew up in a structured environment while Troy says he did not have that. Jasper was creating his environment. Je'Von cannot make jokes at his expense.
Jasper is asked about Je'Von's in ring style and how do you game plan Evans. He says Evans is talented, but he cannot bang with him. He says he will swat Je'Von and put him through the mat. He says he will show that the future of NXT belongs to Jasper Troy.
Jasper says he will put everyone down. He will test to see if Je'Von is bouncy. He is the truth and you will find out.
We go to footage from after NXT where Josh tells Inamura he has Oba where they want him. He says he will do anything for Inamura. He wants to know why Inamura is upset because this is the biggest match of his career.
Inamura says he was not trying to hurt Oba. He says he wants to fight Oba with honor.
Josh says he gets what Inamura wants, but this isn't about honor. It is about becoming a national hero in Japan after winning the title. He says they will make sure that happens.
We take a look at the Women's North American Title match.
Kelly Kincaid talked to Izzi Dame (with Tatum Paxley)
Kelly asks how did this friendship come about. Izzi says she saw a lot of herself in Tatum. Lost with no friends. Spears took her in and showed her direction. Izzi says she can do the same for Tatum.
Tatum says she is happy she found a friend in Izzi. She is the first person who pursued her to be her friend. All of her other 'friends' are gone. They have all accepted her. This is the closest thing to a family.
Izzi says she has her first title match and it is thanks to Tatum.
Kelly asks Tatum about Sol and Zaria and what they have done to her.
Tatum says Izzi has done some bad things in the past and so has she. She doesn't have to be nice to everyone.
Izzi brings up everything Zaria and Sol have done and she says that Tatum does not have to be in a friendship like that.
Tatum says Izzi cares about her while she would come off as a third wheel with Zaria and Sol.
Kelly asks Izzi about Sol.
Izzi says Sol has to be at her best because no one has been hotter in the ring that Izzi has. Izzi says she is not going anywhere but the top. She will do what it takes to become the new North American Champion.
Tatum says she knows her new friend will be the North American Champion.
We take a look at the situation surrounding the TNA contract signing.
Megan mentions we will be starting with Jasper Troy and Je'Von Evans.
We have a video package about the tag match.
Kelly Kincaid interviewed Fatal Influence.
Jacy shows up first and says they can start without them.
Kelly asks about the biggest weekend of her career with the matches at the Bash and Evolution.
Jacy says Jordynne and Blake are not a real tag team. They are individual stars and they are not a cohesive team like Fatal Influence. Blake will learn that there are levels to this and she is not on her level. Jacy says it is funny that Blake says she is the next champion but her partner on Saturday and everyone else is saying the same thing. Jacy says she is the champion and will continue to be the champion.
Kelly asks about the last year with Fatal Influence and trust issues.
Jacy says they would win championships and influence the entire division. A year later, Fallon won the North American Championship and Jacy says she won the World Title. They will do what needs to happen for them to win the tag match on Saturday and for her to retain the title on Sunday.
Kelly asks about Jacy's start in Toxic Attraction. and where is she mentally.
Jacy says she knew she would be the woman to take this role. The fans didn't know it. She said she would do it for herself. Then she joined forces with Fallon and saved Jazmyn from irrelevancy. She goes into the biggest weekend for women's wrestling as the champion.
Kelly asks about Evolution and being the NXT Champion.
Jacy says no one thought she could be champion at Evolution but she has done it. She says she is sick of being the most beatable champion because how could she beat Stephanie Vaquer and Lainey Reid.
Fallon and Jazmyn show up and Jacy says the interview is over.
