You're so cute Millie.
Smile, hello, you're doing a good job.
>> With my hair.
Good bye Millie,
>> Kiss Josiah, kiss Josiah.
[SOUND] >> Hello, WWE Universe.
I'm McKenzie Mitchell, this is Alicia Taylor.
And welcome to what's next.
>> What's next, Mackenzie Mitch?
>> What's next?
>> How are you? >> I'm great, how are you?
>> I feel like it's been a while since I've seen you, we've had a wild week.
>> Wild week.
>> Yeah. >> We say a wild Wednesday was now
Tuesday.
[CROSSTALK] >> I mean that doesn't really,
terrific Tuesday.
[CROSSTALK] >> I don't know.
I don't even know Tornado Tuesday.
>> We'll have to think of something there like a Tornado DDT.
Okay but it's been a crazy week.
We had our first What's NeXT Live, we had some awesome guests.
We had Finn Bálor, we had The Way,
we had Pizza- >> [CROSSTALK]
>> We had Austin Theory sitting over there
eating some pizza.
I mean Finn Bálor, we gave him two pizzas.
I know you were sweating, cuz you had all the pizza stacked on top of you, right?
>> It did get a little warm, it did get a little warm.
I'm still upset because I didn't get my money back from Finn Bálor.
>> Why would you pay him in the first place?
>> I paid him to chop you remember?
>> Yeah, and why again, why would you do that?
>> You know what?
>> Because we're supposed to be a tag team here.
>> You know what, on Tuesday night, I have to confess.
>> Here we go, what did you do?
>> Well, Tuesday night, I actually tried to pay someone else to chop you.
>> Who?
>> Timothy Thatcher.
>> What, why?
>> I offered- >> I don't understand why.
Do you hate me?
>> No, I love you.
>> Do you want me to hurt?
>> I just thought it'd be fun, like something fun.
>> Okay well we're gonna move on.
>> Wild, what's next, but anyway, speaking of Timothy Thatcher said no, he said no,
gentlemen, he's not gonna chop.
>> Good. Speaking of fun and The Way,
I had a fun interview with The Way.
And after, unfortunately, they got lost, but Indy Hartwell left with Dexter Lumis.
>> The eight person mixed Tag Team [CROSSTALK].
>> And they were really concerned of what happened with Indi and Dexter Lumis, and
I got to do the interview with them after the fact.
Johnny, Candice, Austin all very concerned.
And then Indi just popped up and said she was fine.
She got medically cleared if you know what I mean.
So that was a really awkward situation, and I tried to get the scoop from Indi and
she really didn't spill anything.
I think it was because Johnny and Candice and everybody was there.
There was a lot of chaos going on, but- >> What do you think,
are we going to actually see a possible Indi Lumis?
>> I think there's a relationship forming.
>> Okay.
>> I asked if they were boyfriend and girlfriend, she didn't spill anything.
But she said to text her.
So I'm gonna text her and see what I can get out.
>> [CROSSTALK] carried her off, and I'm interested to know what happened.
>> I mean we all are.
>> Do we have footage from?
>> Yeah we actually do if we want to pop it in right here.
>> Okay. [MUSIC]
>> But Alica we have a new NXT Cruiserweight champion in Kushida.
How exciting for him.
I know that all of the Kushida fans out there and Kushida himself, his friends,
his family.
He said this has been two long years.
And Tuesday night was so special for him,
because it all culminated when he became the new NXT Cruiserweight champion.
>> Well, big congrats to Kushida, one of my favorites here in NXT.
But much respect to Santos Escobar.
>> Yeah no doubt.
>> A fantastic champion, who put a spotlight on the Cruiserweight division.
But Kushida, this is a long time coming for Kushida.
As you said, two years in the making here.
Kushida was a huge international superstar before even coming to NXT,
multiple time champion.
This is Kushida's time.
>> We mentioned coming to NXT, we had a new arrival.
>> We did, you know the new arrival, right?
>> To our women's division.
Franky Monet.
>> Franky Monet.
>> I'm so excited.
I have known her for quite some time.
I've known Presley for quite some time, the star of the show.
>> It's her dog.
>> Yeah, Presley's great.
>> Okay, so I was watching Franky Monet on Tuesday and I was like,
McKenzie has a dog.
>> Yeah. >> Franky Monet has a dog.
>> Sure. >> I wonder who would win in a dog fight.
Is it gonna be Millie or Presley?
>> Well, they're actually friends.
>> They're friends? >> So
they like to play every once in a while.
Actually speaking of Millie, I couldn't find a dog sitter this morning so
I can just bring her in if you'd like that?
>> You have Millie here?
>> I have a special guest, since we didn't have any superstars to sit down with.
I just brought my own special guest, hi.
>> Millie, the superstar.
My gosh Millie.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Millie!
>> Morning everyone, welcome to mom's show, Millie.
>> You guys, she's black and white like me.
I love it. >> It's so exciting Millie.
I'm so glad to have you here with me this morning.
>> You're gorgeous.
>> What do you think of Alicia?
>> You're gorgeous I'm so distracted now.
What are we talking about?
>> What do you think of the spotlight?
Because typically when I try to film you always are very loud and
you play with your toys and eat all your food.
So, Millie.
>> Millie, what kind of dog food do you typically eat?
Okay, great, great, and what time does your mom go to bed at night?
>> Why are we telling them?
>> How many showers does she take a day?
>> Again, what, why?
>> Do you get angry when your mom goes to work all day long on Tuesdays?
>> But then if I bring her here on Friday,
I'm gonna start bringing her here on Fridays maybe.
Yeah she sheds a little bit, sorry about that.
And she's gonna need to take a shower.
>> I have to go wash my hands actually.
>> Millie can you look in the camera and say bye?
Millie so glad that you're here.
>> Millie everyone.
Millie.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Okay, now go over here.
>> She's gorgeous.
On Tuesday night Franky Monet, her entrance music said boozy and
bad and can I add bold?
>> Yeah. >> Okay, because on Franky Monet's first
day at NXT, she approached the new NXT Women's Champion, Raquel González.
If you wanna make a bold statement on your first day, that's what you do.
You challenge a champion, >> Alicia I have to ask if you were
a superstar.
>> Yes. >> Would you do that?
Would you come to a new division and make such a statement as Franky did?
>> Absolutely, if you believe in yourself, if you have that kind of confidence and
swag and booziness behavior that Franky Monet has.
She thought nothing of it.
>> Fair enough.
>> And I would I would do the same.
>> Fair enough.
But what about new Smackdown Women's Champion in the house?
Newly crowned raw Women's Champion in the house.
Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Raquel González having a moment.
It was like, the coolest thing to see them reminisce.
And the photos come up.
And then have this how far we've come moment.
>> McKenzie Mitch, I'm so proud of all three of those women.
I have worked with them for a few years here at NXT.
We've been up and down the Florida coast.
We've been to every armory and small hall for like 10 people, 20 people, 200 people.
And now to see them all as champions and representatives of all three brands.
I'm so proud.
>> So special, needless to say they all deserve it.
So cool to see that.
I was actually at WrestleMania getting to see Bianca win and Rhea win.
And just the crowd, the explosion, the energy of people.
How excited they were for the new champs.
Again congratulations to all of you.
>> Congratulations, and before you move away from WrestleMania.
I heard that you had some sort of a rap battle with Xavier Woods or something?
>> Josiah, our friend Josiah, he basically forced me to rap.
>> Do we have footage of McKenzie rapping?
>> I don't think we do.
>> And or break dancing.
>> No, I didn't break dance.
But Xavier Woods was playing the bass guitar, and Josiah was given me a beat and
they were like McKenzie rap.
And I had nothing.
>> What did you do? Give us some bars.
>> No, we're not going in there again.
Yeah, we're not going there again, we're not.
Back to what we we're talking about of Tuesday night, NXT.
Sarray, next week in the house.
How cool, all these additions to the women's division, so exciting.
>> Speaking of, I said earlier,
Kushida was one of the biggest international superstars.
Now we have Sarray.
>> Yeah. >> I'm so excited to see her here in our
women's division.
>> But next week, Kyle O'Riley's also going to be back in building after
what happened in NXT TakeOver.
I'm excited to see what he has to say, what he has to do, what his actions are.
I mean so much to see there.
>> I'm excited to see if he's walking without a crutch or something.
I mean, Adam Cole, Kyle O'Riley.
>> Tore the house down.
>> Desroyed each other.
>> Did you notice that we had a different NXT logo?
>> We had a different logo.
I talked to Triple H about it on Tuesday morning.
I was like this looks sick, this it metal.
And he knows I love metal.
>> Very excited.
>> We're pumped about it.
>> So much in store.
You have to remember,
cuz I know you were saying you have to remember we're on Tuesdays now.
>> I had to write a bunch of notes, little sticky notes around the house that I
remember to actually go to work on Tuesday.
>> Okay, well- >> I mean,
it's not I'm not excited about NXT, of course I am.
>> Okay well it's been great, it's been fun here this morning, but I've gotta go.
Millie again, doesn't have a dog sitter, so she's just,
I guess, chilling there by herself.
>> I've got to take a shower. >> Of course you do, no surprise there.
>> Millie, I love you, nothing against you.
I just like to shower 50 times a day.
And now, clearly.
>> I love you whatever.
>> All right, well let's go do that, Millie, you're welcome back any time.
>> Thank you. >> All right guys, do not miss NXT action
live, every Tuesday night on the USA Network.
And of course, What's NeXT on Fridays on all the WWE social media.
>> That's it.
>> McKenzie Mitch!
>> What's NeXT?
