 10,000 members of the NXT Universe packing into this place for show time. An NXT TakeOver New York pre-show is presented to you by WWE 2K19 Million Dollar Challenge. Win the challenge, beat AJ Styles, become a millionaire. And tonight is the culmination of the WWE 2K19 Million Dollar Challenge. We will have the golden voice, Stefan T. Benton going up against AJ Styles. All right, and this is really something else. We have players from all over the world participating in this competition. After completing the extremely difficult AJ Styles Million Dollar Tower Game Mode, winner now what it takes to beat AJ Styles. So then we have four finalists who were chosen. They were flown in here to New York City for WrestleMania weekend. And then earlier today at AXS, the four finalists competed in a mini tournament to find out who would go on to face AJ Styles for the chance to win one million dollars. I tried the AJ Styles Million Dollar Tower at home. I did not get very far. I was not a finalist, not even close. These guys have a tremendous skill at this game. Yeah, I think you have to be great. I mean, there's a million dollars on the line. This could be an insane evening for the golden voice. He had to battle against the other three competitors earlier today at AXS. There he is celebrating hard. And now AJ Styles is gonna have to show us if he's phenomenal or not, with seven figures on the line. All right, what do you say we get things going? Let's get the Million Dollar Challenge started. Those of the WWE 2K19 Million Dollar Challenge. In just a few short minutes, somebody's gonna have the opportunity to become a millionaire for winning a video game. It's nuts, I know. But I didn't wanna have all this fun by myself, so I brought a friend. You guys may know him as one third of the new day. You may know him from up, up, down, down as Austin Creed. But I know you know him as Xavier Woods. It's a new day, yes it is. I think this will be the first takeover I'm at where I'm not getting beat up by Rusev, that's the thing. Ladies and gentlemen, the WWE 2K19 Million Dollar Challenge was first issued by one AJ Styles in June of 2018. He challenged the world saying that no one could beat him in this game. And if you could, you would win a million dollars. And all you had to do was go pick up a copy of the game and defeat every single WWE superstar in the Million Dollar Tower. Then make a video explaining why you should be a part of this tournament. Then the powers that be picked a couple of people. They have a tournament and the last man or woman standing would face AJ Styles. So earlier today at Access, we had four contestants. We whittled it down to one contestant and that person is here right now to try to win a million dollars. Or, or will AJ Styles send them home with nothing? You can't go back to your mom's basement with empty pockets, can you? You really gotta get over this thing. I struck a nerve. Exactly. I struck a nerve. We play games, Graves, you guys gotta get over it. Who in here loves video games? Thank you, see? So without, without further ado, let us meet the contestant. He is known to some as the Golden Voice. We know him as Stefan T. Bensig. Miz's entrance music, Miz was the WWE superstar coach for Mr. Golden Voice, whereas everything about Miz is must see. This is kind of just can't unsee. He's got guts, we'll give him that. I say drink it in, the man is gold from head to toe. Now. Come on, people. He's got some courage, man. They're tough. That's fine. Trust me, I know. Now, let's meet the man who stands in his way of a million dollars. The phenomenal one, AJ, stop. We're gonna do this anyway. You guys ready to engage in some video game combat? I am. I'm ready to take him to Suplex City. He doesn't look like he's ready. But I'm ready. He's ready for something. I don't know what exactly that is. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Mr. Golden Voice, I think they want AJ to beat you. Oh, that's a shame because I'm taking him to Suplex City and that's all that's going to be said. There's nothing you can do to beat me. I told you at Access, I was destroying you. And you can boom me all you want because guess what? When I win that million dollars, I can buy and sell each and every one of you over it again. Bring me the booze. I love it because I'm here and you're not. Come on, Brooklyn. Show this man what you got. Come on. Well, I mean, I hope he hasn't been part-time playing like the character he's going to play with. Otherwise, I'm going to wax you. Well, the difference is, he's a champion and you're not. Oh-ho-ho. Oh. The difference is, I'm here 365 days out of the week in WWE and he's not. When he's that amazing, he doesn't need to be here like that. You do because you got to work your way up to get a championship again. You lost it and you haven't had been the same sense. And you never will be. And when Randy Orton faces you at WrestleMania, it's going to be an RKO. All right, anybody else getting bored? Before it gets too heated, let's go over the rules. That's good because I was thinking about shoving that microphone. Whoa, what's that? I'm going to do that. Just for your own safety. Check it out. We're going to move to the side because we've got to read the screen, too. All right. The rules are as follows. You have to win by pinfall or submission. Only. Only. We had a ring break earlier and had to do another match. No countouts or disqualifications. The guy with a 93. 10 minute time limit and in the event of a time limit draw, the winner will be determined by the player who has the most health remaining. Gentlemen, do you understand the rules? I know you do golden hat. You've been playing this for like the last year. Yes, sir. AJ, you ready? Got it. If you guys think the golden voice is going to win, make some noise. It's still noise. If you guys think AJ Styles is going to win, make some noise. Mr. Golden Voice, what's your strategy going into this matchup? I promised them once. Sue Plex City. And then in F5, and if he gets back up, I'll break his arm with a Kamorra. Guy, you've got a plan. Mr. Styles, you have a game plan? Win. That's pretty simple. That's effective. That's all I've got to do. All I've got to do is win here. That's it. It's quite, it's pretty easy. The thing is, if you win, though, no one gets the money. Yeah. It just disappears. That's all right, Winning. I'm going with that. Just as long as this guy doesn't get it. Honestly, I would actually love to see this match. Had a takeover. But me and Golden had that too. OK. Geez. Bring the good guy out. Look at that sexy beast. Oh, I'm a champion this one, too. How about that? It's outdated, so you should fix it. That's Koki soon. Don't worry about it. It's Koki's fault. You may be phenomenal. Let me ask you, approximately, how long did it take you to get to this point in WWE 2K19? Not too long. Bobby took about a day and a half of that to win the challenge, and then I submitted my video. Here I am standing here today on takeover, one of the grandest stages. Brooklyn, does anybody else have a problem with a guy working for a day and a half and maybe becoming a millionaire? Doesn't seem fair to me. Make me a promise. Make everyone in Brooklyn a promise. Make yourself an AJ Styles, I promise. If you win a million dollars, you're going to get yourself a new wardrobe. How about you a new wardrobe? Oh. It's quick. AJ Styles versus Brock. What's wrong with you? Lost styles. Uh-oh. I feel like this is a rerun or something. Uh-oh. It's just. I think AJ's familiar. Batteries are dead. I think you need a little help. Oh, no, you want this all expense paid trip. All the bells and whistles. You got it, baby. Well, come on. Come on, Brooklyn. Count with me. OK, yeah, this is maybe like a little. This is what happened last time, and that was perfectly fine. AJ. All right, sooner or later, I'm going to do something. And all you want is not going to do him any good. And another. And guess what, Brooklyn? This is not a prediction. It's a spoiler. I took too long. This guy's pretty good. No, no, no, how about this? I got a present for you. Highbomb City. Go ahead, Brooklyn, move me. I want those moves. Bring them on. You're quiet. That's right, stay quiet. T. Benson has managed to silence Barclay center with his video game play. I don't know what to do here, guys. F5. F5. I'm not even going to sleep here. Now you can do some melt-up in your mom's basement. Hey, you're looking to have the winner of the Golden Voice of Sports Entertainment, Stephon Benson. I'm here live in Brooklyn, New York. And I'm doing it big, baby, unmatched, unbeaten. They couldn't see me. I took them to Suplex City. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can stop me. We all know the reason for this, right? Congratulations, Stephon. Thank you. The winner of a million dollars of the WWE 2K Challenge. And Brooklyn, let him know what you think. I could still suck, but I'm still rich, unlike all of you. He's a hill, folks. You're looking at the best, baby. He may be phenomenal, but I'm golden. Can become real. You should see me in a- Seven Easter, four Pacific. As always, the future, it's the now.
