00:00You can look, but you can't touch.
00:05Introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona.
00:09She is the Divas Champion, Nikki Bella.
00:14Wow, she speaks two languages, English and body.
00:17Well, I find it interesting, Nikki's coming out here tonight for
00:20this matchup by herself without her twin sister three.
00:23But I think that shows you the confidence that Nikki Bella has developed over
00:27the past number of months of holding the championship.
00:29I want to show you a tweet that Nikki sent out a bit earlier on today.
00:32She talks about having defended her Divas Championship for over 200 days,
00:36and tonight's no different.
00:37Bring it, Paige, calling herself Fearless Nikki.
00:40In fact, tonight marks the 203rd day as champion.
00:45Nikki winning the title back at Survivor Series.
00:48She's been an incredible champion.
00:51Looks like she can defeat Paige by herself.
00:54That's what she's planning on doing.
00:59Introducing the challenger, from Norwich England, Paige.
01:14Well, this is a determined young lady.
01:16Yeah, well, this is what Paige was talking about a bit earlier on in that interview,
01:21talking about the Bellas being crafty.
01:24Let's take you back to a couple of weeks ago on Monday Night Raw.
01:27Nikki Bella defending the Divas Championship against Paige.
01:30And it looked like Paige was closing in on winning her third Divas title.
01:34But King, as Paige says, it's more of the same.
01:37Watch this.
01:39Nikki rolls under the ring.
01:40Out comes her twin sister Brie.
01:42A little bit of twin magic.
01:43And watch how Brie protects herself from being seen by the official,
01:46who didn't realize what was happening.
01:48You're right.
01:48That move has happened so many times, it's got its own name.
01:51Twin magic.
01:53And unfortunately, Paige just fell victim to it.
01:58But she is guaranteed that that will not happen tonight.
02:00She says by winning the Divas Championship tonight,
02:03she will take away the Bellas influence.
02:06Of the evil empire.
02:07What is that?
02:08Darla Vader?
02:08We invite you to talk about this matchup on social media tonight.
02:14As Nikki defends the Divas title versus Paige by using the hashtag Nikki versus Paige.
02:23Over 15,000 in attendance tonight in Columbus for Money in the Bank.
02:27We thank you for watching live on the WWE Network in over 200 countries around the world tonight.
02:34In the United Kingdom and all throughout Europe and places like Austria, France,
02:38and Italy, throughout the Middle East and of course on the American Forces Network.
02:42Broadcasting to American military personnel and their families in more than 170 countries
02:47in U.S. territories and more than 140 U.S. Navy ships at sea.
02:53Don't forget Bermuda.
02:54Come on!
02:56Very confident Nikki Bella started doing jumping jacks as she backs Paige into the corner.
03:01It's a tribute to late Jack LaLanne.
03:06I'm hoping we see a tribute to the American Dream Dusty Rhodes tonight.
03:09Maybe in this match we'll see a bionic elbow in some way.
03:14It's funky like a monkey.
03:18Nikki rolling out of the ring wisely for the champion.
03:23What do you think about what Paige has been saying about the need for change in the Divas division?
03:27Oh, I'm sure that's uh, I'm sure if I were in Paige's shoes I would think the same way.
03:33Let's go ladies!
03:34Every Diva thinks that uh, they should be the Divas champion.
03:38Oh and Paige looking to win the title here tonight.
03:42Well Paige should have thought about the fact she might need some friends before she was turning on everybody in the Divas division.
03:49Before all of a sudden now she becomes the great moral leader against the Bella Empire.
03:53Well, Paige better remember that she can only win the championship inside the ring via pinfall or submission tonight.
03:59That's out here!
03:59And Paige got herself in trouble and Nikki able to counter.
04:03Oh yeah!
04:04Back this side, this way!
04:06Here we go!
04:07What's this again?
04:09Paige blasting Nikki right to the floor, but then Nikki returns the favor by oh, landing Paige into that wall.
04:18Nikki now crawling toward the cover, hooks the leg on Paige.
04:21Shoulders are down and a kick out at two.
04:24Okay, say what you want about Nikki and the Bella Twins, but there is something to be said,
04:27John, for Nikki holding the Divas championship for over 200 days.
04:31The only thing I've said about the Bellas is it's positive.
04:34What is Nikki doing here?
04:36Oh!
04:37Driven Kidney first into the apron.
04:41Apron to take away any padding that ring skirt might give to it.
04:45Now, as Paige looks to recover, Nikki Bella is doing push-ups in the ring.
04:54Well, never too late to get that last-minute workout in.
04:57Look at the other Divas.
04:58And you gotta wonder what they, the rest of the Divas think of not only Nikki Bella, but the, what Paige has had to say over the past couple of weeks.
05:08Did you hear what Natalya just said?
05:09Oh!
05:10I think she said that all Nikki cares about is how she looks.
05:13Cover off the suplex by Nikki Bella.
05:15And Paige stays in it.
05:16One, two, three, three, three.
05:17Paige said that we only need one voice to initiate change.
05:21She wants to be that voice here tonight.
05:22One, two, three, four.
05:29Neither one of them have friends.
05:30The Bellas are very jealous of the Bellas.
05:32And Paige has turned on everybody back there.
05:34Oh, I've long said that, John, you know.
05:37And it's not just Divas.
05:38I secretly think that all women despise each other.
05:41Oh, Paige for the Divas champion, although Nikki rolls through.
05:44Oh, and it came right to the jaw.
05:45Goodness.
05:46Is that enough to bring Paige your third Divas title on a kickout?
05:49Only two other Divas in history have held the Divas championship three times.
05:55AJ Lee and Eve Torres.
05:57Paige would love to join them.
05:58Here we go.
05:59Hook of the leg and a kickout.
06:01It would be quite the accomplishment for a young lady who debuted just over a year ago.
06:07That was vicious.
06:08Great athletic move by Nikki.
06:20Very creative.
06:21And again, Nikki looking for the victory here near fall.
06:26Like an old Four Horsemen move with Tony Blanchard.
06:28He's turning this entire match into an exercise session here.
06:39Well, sometimes in competition, certain matchups don't favor certain teams,
06:43certain individuals.
06:43Maybe this matchup doesn't favor Paige.
06:49Paige certainly has all the talent.
06:50Two-time Divas champion herself, as you already mentioned.
06:52She's just running into what she calls the Bella Empire.
06:56Well, Ms. Paige has laid it all out there, King.
06:58She said a lot of things in this matchup.
07:00Look at that.
07:01Nikki was forced to kick out.
07:05These Divas have, there's a reason.
07:07The Divas think a lot of themselves.
07:09They have big egos.
07:10Matter of fact, Nikki told me earlier, everybody has an ego.
07:13She said, mine's just bigger and better.
07:14Hey, hey, Paige, bring me back to side.
07:16Paige, you can't do that.
07:17There's a reason the Bellas are the stars of Kobe.
07:20Paige has got to be careful with this qualification.
07:22Means Nikki keeps the title.
07:24And Nikki has been the champion for so long.
07:27You're simply better than everybody else.
07:29They're Bellas.
07:30And Nikki, Nikki Pooley right here in this match,
07:35pretty much has dominated since the beginning.
07:37Hook of the leg, yet again on Paige,
07:39who manages to get the shoulder up.
07:47Once again, Nikki applying the pressure,
07:49just, it's almost as if she wants to punish Paige.
07:53And she's enjoying it while she does it.
07:57Paige started in as big as at age 13,
08:00but tonight she's going to school for Nikki Bella.
08:10Paige trying to fight back to her feet.
08:12Showing some signs of life here in this Divas Championship match.
08:20Oh, man, that could turn things around.
08:22Maybe things just changed.
08:23Paige, for the Divas Championship, is it enough?
08:27And Nikki gets the shoulder up at two.
08:30And what a boot.
08:32Watch this and listen.
08:33Looked like Paige was going for her submission maneuver, the PTO.
08:38And Nikki was on the counter and a spine buster.
08:42One, two.
08:43Keeper Championship.
08:45Guys, you gotta give Nikki credit.
08:47She is resilient.
08:48I mean, not many Divas would have been able to get up from that boot.
08:51Nick Paige just delivered a moment ago.
08:54Nikki has already survived that and turned things around again.
08:57Bella so far had a counter for everything Paige has offered.
09:00Come on, Nikki.
09:01Lay on the elbow.
09:05Uh-oh.
09:06Oh, I think she was going for it.
09:08Yeah, she'll go in.
09:09Water that time, and here's Paige.
09:14Paige with a high knee.
09:16Yeah, right to the nice chin.
09:21Paige first goes Nikki, Paige.
09:23Paige has an answer for everything Nikki's trying now.
09:25Uh-oh.
09:26Uh-oh.
09:27Nikki, you're not supposed to be able like that.
09:32Oh, man.
09:32Nikki's in trouble.
09:34Can Paige get a tough-out victory to win the Divas Championship?
09:38Nikki with nowhere to go.
09:42Gotta make it to the bottom rope, trying to fight it.
09:44She does.
09:44Gonna force the break.
09:47Move by Nikki Bella, able to break the grip there on her chin.
09:50Get herself to those ropes.
09:52And the Divas locker room looking on.
09:59Nikki Bella looking to retain her championship on Paige.
10:02Two-top kick out.
10:03It's like you said, JBL.
10:04Those other Divas are watching.
10:06They're not really cheering for either one of these Divas.
10:09They're just waiting to see who wins.
10:10Yeah, there's a lot of animosity toward both of these competitors.
10:14They want to be there themselves.
10:18Jim, blame them for that.
10:19Oh, look at this.
10:28What is Paige going for here?
10:31Stepping through again.
10:34Oh, Nikki, you are in trouble.
10:35Trying for the PTO.
10:37Nikki Bella not allowing her to lock it in.
10:39Falling to the bottom rope.
10:43Nice reversal.
10:44Nikki Bella has had an answer for everything Paige has put out there.
10:48Paige is staying in it.
10:49Hey, let's go, let's go.
10:50This is a great matchup here.
10:53Shows you how important that Divas title is.
10:55Look out, Nikki off the second rope.
10:59Great move by Nikki Bella to keep the Divas Championship.
11:03And again, Paige stays in it.
11:06And Nikki's got to be getting a bit frustrated here.
11:08I wonder if both of these Divas are beginning to get a little bit exhausted.
11:13I'm tired of just watching this.
11:15These girls have really put a lot of effort out here.
11:17Look at this.
11:20Oh, man.
11:20Going for the ranked attack.
11:22Oh, Paige able to counter.
11:25Looking for the ranked.
11:26Look at Paige.
11:27Look at Paige.
11:28That's it.
11:28For the Divas title.
11:30Hook to the line.
11:31And Nikki kicked out at two.
11:33Oh, man.
11:34Two-turned Paige.
11:35She's on two.
11:36Nikki is resilient.
11:37Yes, Paige cannot believe it.
11:38There's a reason Nikki has held that title for over 200 days.
11:43Look at Paige's face.
11:44That's the look of someone who just shot their best shot and didn't get it done.
11:50Paige cannot believe she didn't win the Divas Championship.
11:53She's got to be wondering, what do I do now?
11:57What's next?
11:57What will work?
12:03That's where you can't get frustrated.
12:04You got a championship at stake.
12:07Yeah, but that's got to be disheartening.
12:08You know, JBL.
12:10You know you've been in the ring.
12:11Easier said than done.
12:12You're right, King.
12:13I agree.
12:13You hit somebody with that clothesline from hell and somehow they survive it.
12:17It just takes the wind out of yourselves.
12:19Come on, ladies, right now.
12:21Come on.
12:22Look at this.
12:23He's trading licks here.
12:25Watch it.
12:25Oh, man.
12:26Oh, wow.
12:29Divas falling to the floor.
12:31Oh, no, no, look at this.
12:31What?
12:33That is Brie Bella, Nikki's twin sister.
12:36A little bit of twin magic attempting to be pulled again here by the Bella Twins.
12:41It's worked many times before.
12:46Paige has no idea.
12:47And neither does the official.
12:48Paige.
12:49I think it's about to work again.
12:50And look at how Brie's keeping her face shielded from the official.
12:53Pulling up Paige, shoulders down.
12:56Paige reverses.
12:57What?
12:57Shoulders down now on three.
12:58Paige's been free.
13:04Here is your winner and the new defense champion, Paige.
13:12Wait a minute, wait a minute.
13:14Look at this.
13:16She was just explaining to Paige that you beat me.
13:33Wait a minute, is this match still going?
13:39Is it continuing?
13:39I don't know, but Nikki's got to pay attention on her shoulders.
13:43We're about to hang.
13:44Ball game.
13:45With a rack attack.
13:50Are you kidding me?
13:51Wait a minute.
13:54Here's your winner and still the Divas Champion, Nikki Bella.
14:01That had to be a disqualification somewhere.
14:04There's no way that match continues.
14:06Well, even if it is a disqualification, the bottom line is Nikki Bella would still retain
14:12the Divas Championship, so the outcome's the same either way.
14:16But again, this is just another example of what Paige was talking about earlier tonight.
14:20It's more of the same for the Bella Twins.
14:36Like this moment.
14:37See you next time.
14:38be in public.
14:403
14:44This is the law school 2017 8 part.
14:45The Science bleeding is simple.
14:45Roughly 30 seconds.
14:4545 seconds.
14:47Look at this on our couch today.
14:47gonna take this.
14:48We seemed as though that when you were sent someone.
14:49And if you were drawn alone outside of this situation.
14:50And I was torn and found someone over this condition.
14:51That was w proverbial that it
14:51took us with a reais and a metal color.
14:52Remember when you came to be in the house right across the city 4th
14:53in the wind?
14:54What were there?
14:56�wình champion for you.
14:56But I think it wasn't normalバイden.
14:58And we were able to knock this fast.
14:59This is theء battery.
15:01And we can fit.
15:01And embrace your daddy's without любим 135 wont color.
