>> [APPLAUSE] >> Keith Lee and
Damian Priest, something's got to give here.
>> Both men entering this contest with a whole lot of confidence.
Eyeing each other up.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> An interesting styles matchup,
as Lee conducts the NXT Universe symphony, and Damian Priest is nonplussed.
>> The smile on the face of
[INAUDIBLE] now perhabs he is in for
a fight >> Body lock employed by Lee,
reversal into the side headlock now by Damian Priest.
>> Priest has a few inches.
>> And in trying to talk to Priest, all he talks about is living forever.
He's a mystery.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> [INAUDIBLE]
a mysterious swagger to him that seems to have irritated Lee.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> You talk about swagger.
>> No, no, no, no.
>> The gamesmanship already beginning here between Lee and Priest.
>> Well, there's some of the strikes of that goju karate.
>> Yeah, well-versed in the martial arts is Damian Priest.
>> He's not going for the bait.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Looks to be inviting Lee on a little
challenge of his own.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Priest is ready for
whatever Lee can bring.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I would think that the speed advantage
belongs to- >> Wow, what the hell?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Look at the agility from the big man.
And he is- >> I stand corrected.
>> [LAUGH] Certainly proud of that.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I knew that Lee was fast Nigel,
he is deceptively quick.
>> That was incredible.
Look at Damian Priest.
Look at what he does, he slows things down.
Whoop whoop, Keith Lee whoop whoop, Keith Lee whoop whoop, Keith Lee.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Come on, Damian.
>> [INAUDIBLE] strike.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And the shoulder tackle by Keith Lee.
The brute strength of the Wichita Lineman Greco Roman knuckle aka test.
>> Now Lee's got Priest at his whim.
>> Got those fingers into locking and
even harder to get away [INAUDIBLE].
Both men jockeying for position here.
Wow, elevating Damian Priest.
>> A lot of pressure, the elevated arm bar, pressure on the elbow joints.
>> There's a counter forearm strike across the jawline of Lee by Damian Priest.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> A kick to the knee.
Smacks the big man in the corner.
>> And the body attack hereby punches and the kicks on Lee in the corner.
>> Certainly the momentum has shifted in this match.
See what Priest does with this.
>> Of course, we're in the midst of the NXT breakout tournament.
Lee taking umbridge with the fact that he's been here longer than
the participants wanting his opportunity to break out.
Well, here's the opportunity here against the newcomer, Damian Priest.
>> Wait a second.
If Damian Priest can do this, I'm gonna stand up.
>> Both of them want this pivotal victory.
>> Keith Lee creating an opening.
>> Blocked and a kick >> And
a clothesline that keeps Lee on his feet however.
And again, it's Priest.
Discus clothesline sends Lee off his feet with a cover and Priest looking for
the biggest win of his NXT tenure still very much in its embryonic stages.
>> That certainly doesn't happen very much to Keith Lee.
As we take a look now, this huge clothesline
right off the chest of the big man.
We've seen some brutality.
We've seen some wrestling.
What about that Adam Cole,
making the stipulation that a two out of three falls match.
His stipulation a wrestling match to take over Toronto and
you talk about the grip of Keith Lee able to break the grip of Damian Priest
before Priest again secures a front face.
>> Did he get him?
>> He's going again for that vertical suplex what a shot that forearm,
raddling Keith Lee.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Nice
agility from the big man I advise him to hold on.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> You have to wonder
what Damian Priests plan V will be when it comes to.
Well, there you go, taking it to Europe showing up as agility.
>> This is creative.
>> This is the body that cover by price >> Two.
>> And a massive kickout by Lee.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
Priest using his high ring IQ to go high on that top rope,
eleviating the grip and the strength of Keith Lee and it results in a near fall.
>> [INAUDIBLE] from Damian Priest.
>> Priest looks a little bit amused at this point too.
>> Well, Grace is enjoying his work.
He loves a good fight.
>> Priest is in a bad place.
>> Right hand uncorked by Damien Priest.
>> Keith Lee getting to his feet.
>> And Lee was doubly holding on to the arm.
Look at this.
>> Lee in the static position.
>> That's a death grip.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The south paw and
Priest pops back up to his feet again.
How's he able to withstand those shots from Keith Lee?
Thunderous forearm in the corner comes off the ropes and
what a shot there by Keith Lee, the cover.
>> Turned inside out.
>> Hooks a leg and Priest escapes.
>> What a matchup and boy were we ever right.
What a test for these two huge superstars.
>> A clothesline and a nice little payback by Lee there.
We'll see if he can capitalize on the advantage.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Nice escape from Priest.
>> Back elbow by Priest to Lee, rattling him, there's a kick.
Trying to create that separate.
And avoiding these shots by Lee.
A hard-hitting matchup tonight.
>> And there it is- >> Wow.
>> Falcon Arrow by the Archer of Infamy on Keith Lee.
How the- >> My God.
>> I guarantee that Keith Lee's never had that done to him before.
Wow.
[CROSSTALK] >> Picking of the man,
the size of Keith Lee and delivering this fantastic falcon.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Wow.
>> The leverage that it takes to get that weight up and over, something incredible.
>> A falcon arrow to remember courtesy of the archer of infamy.
On the attack, again, delivering shots to the bread basket floury of strikes.
Discuss forearm.
And there's a counter from Lee.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Grisly magnum by Lee.
>> Priest's gotta keep his distance gotta stay away from Lee.
>> [APPLAUSE] Uh-oh.
>> What a pouch by Lee.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Literally sent Priest spinning in
the air.
>> We have never seen Priest in this danger before.
How will he respond?
I would say that this is the most competitive match up of their
respective NXT careers.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> [APPLAUSE]
>> A smart move from Damian Priest
creating some space and separation some time to recouperate, but
Keith Lee not letting him have much.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Priest back into the ring,
back on his feet and delivers a knee to the jaw of Lee keeping him on the outside.
Allowing Priest those precious extra moments to recover.
>> One, two.
>> He is struggling to get to his feet as the referee makes the count.
>> Whoa.
>> Wait a second.
>> And wow.
Lee catching Priest.
>> What?
>> No way.
>> Following that attempt at a drop at.
>> Priest on his feet.
The bell clap has Lee's ears ringing.
>> Bicycle kick by Damian Priest.
Sends Lee crashing back-first into the stairs.
>> That devious, vicious smile on the face of Damian Priest.
>> The impact, those steel stairs across Lee's back.
>> Wow, recuperative powers of gateway something to behold as he's back up.
>> [INAUDIBLE] Keith, please.
>> This is forcing priests to back up to his feet.
>> Again, fingers distance.
>> Wow, using the referee as a shield.
And there it is, a cycle of [INAUDIBLE] by Priest.
>> Damian Priest with the Cyclops boot on Lee.
And there's that rolling cutter, the reckoning, the reckoning Priest.
Is he doing it against Priest for [INAUDIBLE] huge victory over Keith Lee?
>> Here is your winner, Damian Priest.
[MUSIC]
>> Incredible victory for Damian Priest,
able to weather the storm and the size of Keith Lee.
>> And if you can read his lips, I got him.
>> By any means necessary.
