My back itches, do you want to scratch my back?
>> Where is it?
>> Go up a little bit.
>> Where is it? >> Right there, right there.
That's good, okay.
[SOUND] All right, hello, everyone.
Good morning, what's going on?
I'm Mackenzie Mitchell.
This is Alicia Taylor and welcome to What's NeXT?
This Tuesday was Great American Bash and wasn't it great, Alicia?
>> It was so great, Mackenzie Mitch, I had a blast the whole time.
>> What a great show.
>> You know what one of my favorite parts was?
>> What?
>> I don't know if you caught it, cuz your guy Vic Joseph in his commentary table,
they were all really dancing.
I didn't know he had moves.
I know you have moves.
>> I don't know about all of these.
>> I know you have moves but let's check out these moves that I got from Mr.
Wade Barrett.
>> Yes, please. [MUSIC]
>> [LAUGH]
>> Wow.
>> A huge Phantom hit row, I didn't even know.
>> Look at you, just ready pulled out your camera.
>> If you didn't know, now you know.
>> I think my favorite part of the night was new NXT Women's tag team champions.
>> Yes.
>> So we start Io Shirai.
How cool was this, and this was Zoe's first championship to win.
I actually talked to her and Io after the match and her so excited, and
this is a whole new era.
I can't wait to see what's next for
Zoe and Neo >> You know what?
Zoey Stark, a fellow What's NeXT, we had her on the show, of course.
How do you think she's celebrating?
>> With her cat?
Probably with her cat.
>> You know what? Yeah, Io and
Zoey probably have their cats.
Maybe they got a cake and like dress up the hats and stuff.
>> Can you imagine, that would be some kind of a party through those people.
Okay, well, Alicia, as much as we want to talk about a cake and cats and Io and
Zoey, we have a special guest today.
>> My god, I'm so excited Mackenzie Mitch.
>> Are you ready to bring her on?
>> We have a global superstar.
>> Global super star, that's right.
Let's bring her on, ladies and gentlemen.
>> Please welcome, Toni Storm.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> You can be on this side,
I got my camera on.
>> My gosh, what is this lovely outfit?
>> Its called pajamas.
>> The NXT universe when we put out a tweet and ask,
who do you want to see on What's NeXT?
They wanted to see Toni Storm, so we are so thankful that you were here.
>> We put them on notice.
>> You're always putting them on notice, Alicia.
>> Yeah, she always is.
We always look fantastic PJs.
>> Thank you, yeah.
>> I have to ask though.
I've been wondering this question.
Out of all the gear you have, out of all of the attire that you wear to the ring,
what's your favorite piece that you own?
>> Apart from my pajamas, do you like my new red and black pants?
>> I do, I think they're great.
>> Yeah. >> I think
you're one of the best dressed people in NXT.
>> Thank you.
Well, it's weird because I've never been told I was like,
that's not a complement I get in real life.
>> You're hanging out with the wrong people.
>> Yeah, just casually no one says that.
>> You know what, I know you're a rocker like me.
I just want to ask, you see our boombox over here.
>> Uh-huh.
>> What tape is that, what is that?
>> It's Motley Crue, if you're cool.
>> Yeah, if you're cool, you know what I am cool.
And you know what, I want to know if you were a fifth member in Motley Crue,
what would your role be?
>> Triangle.
>> Triangle?
>> Triangle, okay.
>> Really thought of that.
>> I was gonna be cow bell in one of the bands we were talking about.
Cuz she can really play drums, but I can't really sing or play guitar or piano.
>> So cow bell.
>> So triangle, cow bell.
We might form our own band.
>> What do you guys think?
What do you think?
Toni Storm, McKenzie Mitchell, triangle and the cowbell.
That would be great.
You can maybe play backup on the drums if you're lucky.
>> Drums, drums hold the entire thing together, McKenzie Mitchell.
>> We just want subtle drums, not full shebang.
>> Right, you have a dog named Ralph.
We've actually talked about him before the interview.
Where did the name Ralph come from when you named him?
>> Well, we'll just ask him, won't we?
>> You brought Ralph here?
>> Ralph is he here?
>> Ralph is here.
>> Wow, what?
My gosh.
Hello, angel.
>> Aren't you sweet.
>> Come on, Ralph, tell them.
>> Aren't you sweet?
>> Ralph, tell us, where did your name come from?
Do you want to look at the camera?
Look over here.
>> You're so sweet.
Ralph, what's your favorite toy?
That's so great.
You like my dog.
>> Ralph, Ralph excuse me.
Do you like lasagna or pizza better?
Did you see the tongue [CROSSTALK] >> Ralph,
he does go a little bit crazy for pizza.
>> Does he? >> Like, yeah.
>> It's like a bribe.
>> Ralph, what do you love about your mom?
>> Just about everything I think he said >> [LAUGH]
>> Everything.
>> That meant that he loves his mom, he gave me what she likes.
So to get on a little bit of a serious note, on Tuesday night,
we had a conversation backstage talking about Sareee and
you said that Sareee's not on your level.
It wouldn't be that you're just afraid to face Sareee?
>> No, no, no, no, no, no.
See, I dominated in Japan before I even came here.
And she was at the top of the scene.
I know exactly what I'm dealing with when it comes to Sareee.
And it's very nice and it's very good and it's very cute.
But when you're just that level above,
you don't wanna waste time on what does a match with Saree do for me?
>> I mean, you are a global superstar, as I said, and
you were the NXT UK Women's Champion for over 230 days.
>> A lot of days.
Would you say is the current NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzales,
would you say that she's under estimating you?
>> I mean, of course, she should be watching her back and, sorry.
[LAUGH] >> When do you think it is time for
you to become NXT Women's Champion?
>> As soon as humanly possible, Mackenzie, as soon as humanly possible.
>> It's Toni. >> Tomorrow.
>> It's Toni time.
>> It's Toni time, yeah.
>> Toni, it's been an absolute joy having you here today.
Love your necklace, by the way.
Fantastic. >> Thank you.
I thought I would just jazz it up a little bit.
>> It looks well the with the shoes.
>> This matches.
>> It's a statement.
>> Well, why didn't I get the memo?
>> Well, that was great.
>> That was fun.
>> What a way to start the day.
>> I mean, Ralph is such a joy.
>> Ralph was great.
I just didn't want to.
>> I'm really confused why you didn't pet Ralph.
>> Why are you confused?
Do you know me at all?
>> I do know you.
I love Ralph from a distance.
>> You just wanna look at him.
You don't need him or give him a treat or play with that.
>> I just, it's like me and babies like I just I don't know, I don't know how to.
I'm more of a cat person.
>> Okay, well, to each their own, but you know what, Alicia?
>> And I would have had to shower immediately after.
Yeah, that's pretty, too.
>> Next Tuesday.
There are some boxes over, its next Tuesday, the breakout tournament again.
>> I'm so excited about this.
>> So excited. >> Because last year's
breakout tournament, we've seen so many new stars from that.
>> Absolutely.
>> Cameron Grimes as as we've got, came from the NFL and
that goes on and we can't forget about them.
Karrion Kross, Johnny Gargano some special guests referee.
>> What effect is Samoa Joe have on this match?
Is he going to step in?
He said unless I'm provoked, I will do my job.
I will stay back and stand from a far.
But if I'm provoked.
>> I'm gonna to provoke him >> Why would you do that?
>> Because I want to see Joe in the match.
[MUSIC]
>> True, but the question here, will we have a new NXT champion come next Tuesday?
Huge question.
>> Huge question.
>> The answers.
>> McKenzie Mitchell, are you ready for next Tuesday?.
>> I'm ready.
I'm always ready.
>> I'm ready for next Tuesday.
I'm also ready for a shower in a cup of coffee.
>> I hear you.
>> You wanna go hang out?
>> You actually wanna hang out with me?
>> Yeah. >> She wants to hang out with me, guys
>> Park the car, park the car.
