00:00A storm is coming.
00:30The following is the semi-finals match in the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
00:36And she does impress from Pharoah Beach, Florida, Jade Cargill.
00:47It's a treat for those of us on Monday Night Raw to have the opportunity to see the powerful Jade Cargill in action.
00:55Semi-finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament. Who meets Asuka in the finals Saturday?
01:01Jade, Roxanne, one-on-one, live on Netflix.
01:15Corey, tell me about Jade Cargill. What makes her so dangerous?
01:19Jade Cargill possesses all of the tools to be a megastar in WWE.
01:23We know she's got all of the physical attributes.
01:26And lately, since returning from injury, Jade seems like she's picked up a little seasoning.
01:29She's got a little more confident, a little more comfortable in the ring.
01:32And this Queen of the Ring Tournament could be the launchpad Cargill truly needs to achieve megastar.
01:37And she also seems like she doesn't give a damn what anybody thinks about her.
01:41She's going to go out there. She's going to do what she has to do to get the job done.
01:44And sometimes that's what it takes. You've got to just forget everybody else's opinion.
01:48Believe in yourself. Do things the way that you believe they should be done.
01:51It's worked so well. It's worked well recently for Cargill.
01:54Jade, of course, a former two-time tag team champion.
01:59Again, we're going to check out the brackets for the Queen of the Ring Tournament, Knight of Champions.
02:05It's been a tough journey just to get this far.
02:07Cargill, Perez, one-on-one.
02:08And the reward for winning this matchup, a date with the Empress of Tomorrow, the always dangerous Asuka.
02:15Yeah, the special start time of 1 o'clock on the East Coast, 10 a.m. on the West Coast, 8 o'clock local in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
02:23Night of Champions this coming Saturday.
02:34Jade and Cargill. I said Jade and Asuka, however, would have Jade and Cargill.
02:39If you imagine that, it'd be like something you'd create in a video game.
02:41Jade and Asuka would be a very interesting matchup, as would, well, Asuka and the newcomer Roxanne Perez, who Jade takes on tonight.
02:52Jade Cargill is about to be put to the test like never before.
02:55And her opponent, from Laredo, Texas, Roxanne Perez.
03:25So, Corey, is Roxanne an official part of the Judgment Day, or is she still a prospect, so to speak?
03:32I think we need to take that up with Finn Balor, Dirty Dom, and the rest of the Judgment Day.
03:35I don't make decisions for that group.
03:36I say out of their way as much as possible.
03:38But what I do know about Jade Cargill is she earned the nickname The Prodigy.
03:42This woman possesses skills and wisdom far beyond her years.
03:46Indeed, Roxanne Perez does.
03:49And she gets to prove that later on coming up as she takes on Jade Cargill.
03:56The winner of this matchup faces Asuka.
03:58The finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament Saturday.
04:02The night of champions.
04:03The end of the Queen of the Ring of the Ring of the Ring of the Ring.
04:33The end of the Ring.
04:35The end of the Ring.
04:37Did you have a second?
04:39Look, I just want to really wish you good luck tonight.
04:43And I'm sorry for being a bit weird last week.
04:46Nobody knows more than I do how much you've earned this title shot.
04:51Yeah, you don't say.
04:53I didn't know that I needed your permission to get title opportunities anymore.
04:56No, that's not what I'm talking about.
04:57It's like that, Nalara.
05:00Okay, I'm sorry.
05:02Look, this title match has been on my mind all week.
05:05It means a lot to me.
05:06But I promise, when I beat Becky tonight, you're first in line, okay?
05:11Okay, I just want to make sure we're cool.
05:13We're cool.
05:15Okay.
05:15Okay.
05:16It's all good.
05:17Good luck.
05:17All right.
05:18Bayley, a lot on her mind.
05:21She takes on Becky for the Intercontinental title later on tonight.
05:23Meanwhile, Roxanne Perez, the prodigy, looks to continue what's been a wild 2025.
05:30And she takes on Jade Cargill from Friday Night SmackDown.
05:33It's the semifinals of the Queen of the Ring tournament.
05:36The winner heads to Saturday, Night of Champions versus Asuka.
05:41Of course, that's a special start time of 8 o'clock local in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
05:45It'll be 1 p.m. Eastern and 10 a.m. Pacific here in the States.
05:52So if you're Roxanne Perez, what do you need to do to knock off the powerful Jade Cargill tonight, Corey?
05:58As I said a few minutes ago, Roxanne Perez possesses skills and wisdom beyond her years in this game.
06:04Roxanne needs to stick with what brought her to the dance.
06:06She needs to utilize her technique and her knowledge of this business and stay the hell away from the power of Jade Cargill.
06:12And there's so much on the line if you win the Queen of the Ring tournament.
06:16You get an opportunity at the champion of your respective brand at SummerSlam.
06:20Look at what happened last year when Nia Jax won the 2024 Queen of the Ring,
06:24went on to SummerSlam to beat Bayley to win the WWE title.
06:28Speaking of Nia Jax, she actually knocked off Jade in this tournament last year, Corey,
06:32to help it be a disqualification.
06:33Well, I assure you, Jade Cargill is using that as fuel.
06:38Few superstars do it as well.
06:39Anytime you tell Jade she can't do something, she will do it just to prove you wrong.
06:44Roxanne Perez knocked off Kyrie Sane, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan.
06:49The fatal throwaway to advance to this match tonight.
06:52Roxanne hit the run now on Jade Cargill.
06:54Is this wise strategy?
06:56It may be if Roxanne's looking to tire out Jade Cargill, really test the gas tank of Cargill, so to speak.
07:02But Roxanne has to be fully aware of the game-changing power of Jade.
07:07Case in point.
07:08Jade Cargill slings Roxanne into the corner.
07:11Jade knocked off Meech and Nia and Piper in a fatal four-way on SmackDown to advance to the semifinals.
07:18And there again, the power of Jade Cargill.
07:21And this is what Jade needs to do, just stick with her wheelhouse, what works for her, the power game.
07:26Few do it as well.
07:27Roxanne was looking for a sunset flip, but again, overpowered by Jade Cargill, the former two-time Women's Tag Team Champion.
07:34The thing about Cargill, Corey, you know, she's never competed for a singles championship in her career.
07:40But have the opportunity if she wins Queen of the Ring.
07:42And I think that sort of irks Jade Cargill.
07:45She looks to fulfill the prophecy that she set for herself.
07:48Jade feels that she's already the uncrowned Queen of the Ring.
07:51Whether the tournament's going on or not.
07:52And again, this cat and mouse game continues between Roxanne and Jade.
07:56Perez looking to use her quickness.
07:58And Jade Cargill again.
08:00That pop-up face first goes Perez.
08:02And the power game, obviously, in Cargill's corner.
08:05I think Roxanne's going to want to go back to the cat and mouse game.
08:09Perez possesses a next-level in-ring IQ.
08:12A proud pupil of the two-time WWE Hall of Famer.
08:15My partner on Tuesday nights on NXT, Booker T.
08:17Yeah, Roxanne, a little payback by Jade with that slap that time.
08:20And Roxanne now, hanging Jade up on the second rope.
08:23And Perez with an opportunity.
08:26Up and around we go.
08:27But Cargill able to put the brakes on.
08:29Oh, and a backbreaker knee right to the spine of Perez.
08:32Cargill, an incredible athlete.
08:36Boatload of charisma.
08:37She's extremely confident.
08:41Said at one point that she's obsessed with all this.
08:44Winning in a WWE ring.
08:46And if I had to poke a hole in the game with Jade Cargill, she does tend to get a little overconfident.
08:55Like she is right now.
08:56But that could just get under the skin of Roxanne Perez.
08:58Well, we'll see how Roxanne reacts to this.
09:01Roxanne, a former two-time NXT women's champion.
09:04And Perez going to slowly buy some time and roll out of the ring.
09:08And Cargill again in pursuit.
09:10I think Perez is trying to lure Jade in.
09:13And she did just that.
09:15Cargill just averted disaster there.
09:17She caught Perez with an elbow to the mouth.
09:21You know the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka, keeping a close eye on this.
09:24And wondering who will oppose her at night of champions.
09:27Look at the power of Jade Cargill.
09:29Yeah, just a carrying Perez on her shoulders.
09:32Up the steps.
09:33Perez slides away.
09:34That's a smart move.
09:35Went for the back of the leg.
09:36Dropped Jade on the steps.
09:38And out.
09:39A drop kick to the knee of Cargill into the steal.
09:42Roxanne's taking over.
09:43Come on, baby girl.
09:44Let's go, Jade.
09:52And now Roxanne Perez in control.
09:54And this is Roxanne's game.
09:56Sometimes she does some undermined things to take control of the matchup.
10:00And that's what she's done here.
10:00And you take out the leg, take away the power.
10:02You can call it underhanded, undermined.
10:04Whatever you want to call it, it's effective.
10:07Roxanne Perez is a student of the game.
10:09She knows ways to hurt you that you may have never seen before.
10:12We just saw that.
10:13Now Roxanne in complete control and looking to pick apart the leg of the powerhouse Cargill.
10:18And this is a great strategy by Roxanne.
10:21Because you take out the legs of Jade Cargill.
10:23As you just mentioned moments ago, Cole, it throws Jade's entire game plan out of whack.
10:27And Roxanne, with a big smile on her face, realizes now that she's in control and has a golden opportunity to get to Riyadh on Saturday for the finals of the Queen of the Ring.
10:38And that would just cap up.
10:39And again, continues to work the knee of Cargill.
10:42And Roxanne Perez, we saw her do this to Rhea Ripley a number of weeks ago.
10:46She picks a body part, and she's relentless on the attack.
10:49Again, Roxanne earned the nickname of the prodigy.
10:52This woman has wisdom in the ring well beyond the time she's actually served inside of it.
10:57Nate Cargill trying to fight back.
10:59And Perez now with a couple of right hands.
11:01Jade with one of her own.
11:02Who's student of the game.
11:03Oh, and again, back to the knee.
11:05Brilliant decision.
11:07Roxanne set a record in the Women's Royal Rumble match this year, lasting longer than anyone in history.
11:12She's also involved in the Elimination Chamber match.
11:15Been a great year so far.
11:16And continues to torture Cargill as a five count.
11:19Referee Jessica Carr administering the count.
11:21And it's unfortunate that despite the accolades you just mentioned, Cole, Roxanne Perez still feels undervalued and overlooked here in WWE.
11:29This is a massive opportunity for Perez to show the entire women's division what she's capable of.
11:33WWE fans trying to rally Cargill here.
11:43And Roxanne again drives her back to the mat.
11:47Oh!
11:49Perez continuing to attack the knee of Cargill.
11:52Oh, one thing with her attitude, there's no doubt she'll fit in well with the judgment day.
11:56What is that supposed to mean, with her attitude?
11:58I happen to think Roxanne's a very sweet young lady.
12:01Okay.
12:02When's the last time you talked to her?
12:04Last week.
12:06And now, again, Perez continues the attack on the leg of Cargill.
12:12Her exact words were, tell that knucklehead Michael Cole to quit lying about her.
12:15Well, every time I try to say hi to her, she gives me this dirty look and sticks her tongue out at me.
12:20You give off a very distinct vibe for a man of your age, Cole.
12:23Thanks.
12:23Don't even know how to take that.
12:25Don't even want to get in there.
12:29Many words that could be thrown out there.
12:34And Perez now, as Cargill starts to fight back.
12:37You know me for a long time.
12:39I didn't say he, I got the vibes.
12:42Oh!
12:50And we are back as Roxanne Perez delivers an uppercut.
12:53And Jade Cargill is in trouble as Roxanne Perez is focused on the injured leg of Cargill.
13:00And Perez with what's been great offense so far.
13:02And now Cargill, though, looking to use her power.
13:04Obviously, the adrenaline beginning to flow.
13:07Jade able to post off of her leg for a moment.
13:10Yeah, back to the injured leg.
13:12Perez has been incredible in her strategy here.
13:15Saw her do this to Rhea Ripley a few weeks back.
13:17And now to Cargill tonight.
13:18And then that running uppercut to the back of the neck by Perez.
13:23Roxanne, nice springboard moonsault.
13:25Cover now for the win.
13:27Is it enough?
13:28Cargill kicks out at two.
13:30Again, the winner will face Asuka.
13:32In the finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
13:35Saturday, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
13:36Night of Champions.
13:37And, man, Perez doing an outstanding job here.
13:40Now, Roxanne just needs to do her best to keep her crew.
13:42Not get frustrated.
13:44Not make any mistakes.
13:45Because she is in complete control of Jade Cargill.
13:47As we take another look at this picture-perfect double jump springboard moonsault.
13:52Nearly ended it.
13:53In favor of Perez.
13:5413,433 tonight in Nationwide Arena.
13:58The thing about Roxanne, too, and you mentioned earlier,
14:00she's so young, still has so much of a career ahead of her,
14:03but she acts like a veteran in the ring.
14:06Because Roxanne possesses the skill set of a veteran.
14:10Again, you mentioned earlier, trained by the great Hall of Famer, Booker T.
14:14Oh, and again, that bad leg seemed to be given out.
14:17Perez now trying to lock in a sleeper here on Cargill.
14:21It's in completely, but it's in enough.
14:23Yeah, Cargill down to one knee now.
14:25Perez trying to...
14:26And again, we talked about how Roxanne was attacking the leg.
14:29Obviously, Jade having trouble maintaining a vertical base,
14:32keeping her legs underneath her.
14:33Able to create the separation, though,
14:35driving Perez into the corner as Jade collapses to the mat.
14:38Roxanne may have an opening here.
14:42Roxanne Perez first on the top turnbuckle.
14:45And Perez...
14:46Oh!
14:46Caught by Cargill!
14:48Absolutely incredible!
14:49Picking Perez out of the air!
14:51A faraway slam that would make Hall of Famer JBL proud!
14:56And it kept my bad leg at all!
14:58Not sure how wise that was.
14:59It's an instinctive reaction.
15:03And Jade, though, starting to build momentum.
15:05Takes out Perez and another one by Jade.
15:07And here comes Jade Cargill.
15:08Big boot to Perez off the ropes.
15:10And Jade with a spine buster!
15:12And Jade fired up here tonight of it
15:18against a very competitive Roxanne Perez.
15:22Cargill now stalking down Perez.
15:28That was, uh, different.
15:30That'll play my games as she slams Perez to the mat.
15:34Cover now by Jade.
15:35Hooks both legs.
15:36Roxanne able to kick out.
15:40And again, we mentioned it earlier.
15:41I mentioned it.
15:42Jade has a tendency to get a little overconfident,
15:44as we just saw.
15:46Had she gone straight into the cover,
15:47had she not taken that extra second
15:48for the extracurricular activities,
15:50this one could be over.
15:52And Roxanne putting up a hell of a fight here tonight.
15:56Roxanne's tenacious.
15:57Gonna be a massive star in this business.
16:00Oh, wow!
16:02Albeit a toothless one.
16:03A kick by Cargill.
16:05And this could be the beginning of the end.
16:07Here it is!
16:09Oh, and Perez rolls through!
16:12What a counter!
16:13Bridget cover!
16:15Cargill at two!
16:17What a counter by Roxanne.
16:19Jade went for the big boot.
16:21Perez caught her with one of her own.
16:24Roxanne showing her technical wizardry inside the ring.
16:27Here comes Perez.
16:28And caught by Cargill.
16:30Down!
16:31Goes Jade Cargill!
16:32Roxanne with an opportunity!
16:34Kick right to the back of the neck!
16:36Cover on Cargill!
16:37To advance tonight at Champions!
16:39Cargill kicks it too!
16:43Don't panic, Roxanne.
16:46Roxanne's got Jade down.
16:48She's got Jade hurt and in trouble.
16:50What an opportunity for Perez here tonight.
16:52This can be so disheartening for a competitor, though, when you've hit your best shot and
16:56then some, and they still keep kicking out.
17:00And now Perez talking trash to Cargill.
17:03What?
17:05Roxanne spent a little too much valuable time.
17:07And Cargill with a right hand.
17:10I think that just ticked Cargill off.
17:12Kicked by Perez now.
17:13Looking for Pop Rocks.
17:15And not able to connect.
17:17Boop!
17:18Oh, just barely got her.
17:19I don't think she got enough of her, but maybe just enough.
17:22And Cargill now.
17:24Lifting Perez up!
17:26Down goes Perez!
17:29Cargill...
17:30No.
17:30Oh, and again trying to put Perez in position.
17:34She does now.
17:34Oh, face first, Perez off a jaded cover now for the win by Cargill.
17:40She's going to face Asuka and Knight of Champions.
17:45Here is your winner, Jade Cargill!
17:52Corey, that was a test for Cargill tonight.
17:55And she passed against the very game Roxanne Perez here on Monday Night Raw.
18:00No doubt about it.
18:01Credit to Perez.
18:02She made Jade Cargill earn this victory.
18:06But Jade escaped with a W and entry into the Queen of the Ring final where the Empress of Tomorrow awaits.
18:15That could be a career-defining test for the storm of WWE.
18:20Take another look at this.
18:22The power of Cargill delivering a powerbomb and then realizing she needed a little insurance.
18:26Roxanne Perez, congratulations.
18:30You have been jaded.
18:34So now the match is set for a night of champions.
18:388 o'clock local, 1 o'clock on the East Coast, 10 o'clock on the West Coast.
18:42This coming Saturday.
18:44Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
