Hey guys, welcome to What's Next.
Obviously there's a lot going on here, we're actually
in my domain on Tuesday night- >> We're here on McKenzie's garage,
she set it up for What's NeXT.
>> My garage, no where did you get that?
>> Thanks for inviting me.
>> I'm so glad that you're here, so
anyways welcome to our show it was a big week on NXT on Tuesday Night,
I mean we all know, there's a wedding that I'm invited to.
I was at the bachelorette party, you were not, you were not.
>> Okay.
>> Aren't you jealous?
>> Do I look like a girl that would be jealous about not being in a-
>> I don't know,
you could be holding it all inside so it was fun, it was a great time.
I actually have a message from Indi Hartwell to you.
>> You have a message for me?
>> Check it out.
>> Me too girl, don't tell her I said that.
>> Didn't invite her.
>> Yeah I mean, I'm on what?
>> On purpose.
>> What kind of trash is that?
>> I just was saying, congratulationd, going back Tuesday night.
There was another big win.
MSK retained their NXT Tag Team Championship over Oney Lorcan and
Danny Burch.
>> Mackenzie Mitch, they have zero losses at this point.
>> Yeah, I mean, a tag team coming in and being so dominant.
I mean, what a career that they've had in the NXT so far.
>> Wait, we'll get to that.
But I have something to show you.
>> What?
>> I've been practicing- >> I'm excited.
>> I've been practicing something this week.
I taught myself how to pull superstars out of my hair.
>> I do not believe this.
>> Yeah.
>> What?
>> Are you ready? >> How did you even do manage to do that?
>> My hair was getting bigger and I just you ready?
You ready for this magic trick that I have for all of these?
>> Sure.
>> Okay ready?
[MUSIC]
[SOUND] I told you.
>> I'm kind of freaked out.
>> I told you, what did I say?
What did I say?
>> You guys had this planned?
There's no way you.
>> It was magic.
>> Welcome to the show.
Welcome to What's Next.
>> Welcome the NXT tag team champions.
>> [SOUND] [APPLAUSE] >> I'm so glad that you guys are here.
I mean, obviously we're on a different set today.
But- >> Yeah.
>> We still have our boombox so,
I don't know if you guys can see there's a boombox back there.
What's playing on the boombox?
>> I was listening to knock loose this morning.
>> Knock loose.
She doesn't know about- >> [CROSSTALK]
>> I had issues?
>> No the band but honestly Saray's theme song has been on repeat.
[MUSIC]
>> That is something I can,
yeah, all right yeah.
Honestly, that might be my favorite.
I mean besides yours.
>> Because one of my favorite.
Well, first of all,
you have all kinds of incredible moves in the ring, but one of my favorite moves.
I don't know the name of it.
But it's the one where one of you jumps up and
flips around the other one pushes the other one to the opponent.
What is that called?
>> Fire flame.
>> Hot fire flame.
>> Do you think you could teach us how to do that today?
>> Who's doing the backflip?
>> She's more of the gymnast, I'm more of the force.
>> Okay. >> So you're pushing, you're flipping.
You got it?
>> I mean, I used to be a gymnast so I could maybe.
>> Yes.
>> Maybe.
>> Now, do you have plenty of pent up aggression that you can use?
>> Yes.
>> Don't even get her started.
>> Absolutely.
Hot fire flame.
>> Hot fire flame.
>> Like how did you prepare your body to actually do that?
Was it gymnastics?
Were you practicing in the pool, backyard trampoline?
How did that happen?
>> Well, both of our gymnastic backgrounds are kind of self taught for the most.
>> Okay.
>> I did collegiate cheerleading for a season.
>> Cool. >> Just one season.
>> That's great.
>> The idea of the move came about from a dance crew called Quest Crew.
>> Okay.
>> They won ABDC I believe in season two or three and
one of their signature moves was doing a backflip and
having somebody push them over a four or five individuals that are kneeling.
>> Wow.
>> And then they will hit the cool pose at the end and everything and
I used to also be a dancer.
So hip hop dance was my thing.
And yeah.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> I mean.
>> But- >> Can you breakdance?
>> You're putting him on the spot, Alicia.
>> I'm putting you on the spot.
>> I got a little bit of something.
>> We've been looking for a competitor from Mackenzie's breakdance.
>> She thinks I can break dance.
I can't claim to be a breakdancer.
>> I wanna see it.
>> You're a break dancing champion?
>> No, no.
I used to be able to do the can opener.
And like- >> Can you spin on your head?
>> No, I can't do any of that.
When I was a kid- >> You got the can opener.
So I'm pretty sure you got a- >> We'll work on it.
If I'm trained by anyone, anybody I would have been want to be trained by Wesley.
So truly, truly.
>> Aw, that's sweet.
>> Well, we've got our music and our- >> [CROSSTALK]
>> We don't need that-
>> [LAUGH]
>> What tag team inspiration do you guys
have, what teams did you look up to?
>> The Hardys for sure.
>> 100%, Edge and Christian- >> DX,
any form of DX.
The New Day as well because what they've thought to tag team wrestling,
same with the Usos.
They've broadened the horizons of what is capable in tag team wrestling.
>> Definitely the connections that those two have along with brand dominant,
the cohesion, the way that they move in the ring.
That's what we look to replicate.
If not progress in any way, shape or form.
We love showing that synergy is the big catalyst to a great tag team.
And these are proven so that's working out for us.
>> You guys have accomplished so much since your debut here in January.
Dusty Cup winners, zero losses to date, the NXT Tag Team Champions.
Is there pressure to live up to the bar that you set for yourself?
>> For me, I'd say no, because we're just doing us like that's all it is like.
I feel like every day we've gotten nothing but better and
we're gonna continue to grow and to learn and to push the pace.
So not really.
>> We are very confident in our abilities and
we know what we still have in our tank.
And then we also know that we have a reserve as well.
We have yet to tap into.
>> One of my favorite things that you posted on Twitter was that as a young boy,
palm trees meant vacationing for you.
But now you guys live amongst the palm trees.
What does all of this mean to those young boys from Ohio?
>> Go after it.
Go after it, whatever it is.
We both took very unique paths to get to our connection.
And then from then on, it was a very unique path to get here.
You never know which route you're gonna have to take to achieve your dreams,
but go after it and trust in the people that you have with you.
>> I said in that post that like the palm trees and vacation,
that's my family's vacation spot.
So just being able to walk out my door and
see that it's I'm already just genuinely stoked.
And then I get to drive to the Performance Center and
see WWE, I work here.
What?
You know what I mean?
It's just, it's cool and little Nash is
probably looking at me like you're all right.
>> You're doing good, bud, keep it up.
Well, guys, thank you so much for being here with us this morning.
Give it up for MSK.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Hey.
>> All day.
>> This isn't like, okay, no, we're good.
We're good.
I mean, we're on a set.
>> How are we getting home?
>> Yeah, can you?
>> Yeah, yeah.
Okay, you guys ready?
Everybody ready?
>> I don't believe any of this.
>> Wait, don't talk.
You can't talk.
>> Should I hold my breath?
>> You guys can't talk during this, okay?
>> Okay.
>> Okay on the count of three, one, two, three.
[SOUND] You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Who else do you want next cuz I can, Nash?
Wes?
>> No they're gone.
They're gone Mackenzie Mitch, but we'll do this again next week.
>> Whatever.
I still don't believe this.
There's some kind you're not telling me something.
>> Stick with me, all right?
We'll do this next week.
Guys do not miss NXT action every Tuesday night live on the USA network and
spend your Thursdays here with me, well maybe not here.
Spend your Thursdays, with me and Mackenzie Mitch right here on What's Next.
>> What's next?
