00:00Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, last woman, standing.
00:07It's Tiffy time!
00:09It's Tiffy time!
00:39It's heating up over the past couple of weeks, especially last week on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:46This is going to be a last woman standing.
00:52And it is always a bad idea to talk smack to the face of Nia Jax.
00:58And once again, just like a week earlier, Tiffy was flattened by the irresistible force and attempted cashing by Miss Money in the Bank.
01:07And Naomi was foiled by Nia Jax.
01:13And while their backs were turned, Tiffy struck and stood tall.
01:18And Naomi is the wild card in all of this.
01:20We'll get into that story in just a couple of moments.
01:22The following contest is a last woman standing match.
01:44And is for the Women's WWE Championship.
01:50The only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent until she cannot stand and beat the referee's count of ten.
02:03Introducing first, the challenger from San Diego, California, Nia Jax!
02:17And her opponent, from Pryor Lake, Minnesota, she is the Women's WWE Champion, Tiffany Stratton!
02:37You know, for a long time, Tiffany Stratton, a protege of Nia Jax, did a lot of Nia's bidding for her over the past year or so.
02:48And until, uh, oh, wait a minute, Nia Jax wasted a little time going after Tiffany Stratton as referee Dan Engler calls for the bell.
02:55And we're underway.
02:56Remember the rules.
02:57Last woman standing.
02:58No pinfalls, no submissions, no disqualifications, no countouts.
03:01You incapacitate your opponent, so they can't make it to their feet by the count of ten.
03:07This is the ultimate physical test in WWE.
03:11You have to quite literally break your opponent to secure victory.
03:17And Nia Jax already ripping the protective pad off the top turnbuckle.
03:21Tiffany Stratton sends Nia Jax outside the ring.
03:24And Tiffany Stratton now, the Women's Champion, with a baseball slide.
03:27Driving Nia into the Arabic announce table.
03:29And now Stratton taking the fight to Nia Jax here outside the ring.
03:32This is going to be a physical battle.
03:33And what shocks me most of all in all this, Wade, is that Tiffany Stratton was actually one to make the challenge for last woman standing against the irresistible force, Nia Jax, who goes hip first into the steps.
03:45And I agree with you, Cole.
03:46I have no idea what Tiffany Stratton was thinking.
03:49Your advantage against...
03:51Oh, goodness!
03:52Oh!
03:54Steps right to Stratton.
03:56Floor is the champion.
03:57Now the official is going to begin the count.
04:02I'd love to say that those steps hit Tiffany Stratton's knee, but they didn't.
04:06They hit a knee, her ribs, and the point of a jaw.
04:09And now Nia drives her into the apron and continues the assault now on Tiffany Stratton.
04:14And Nia Jax is going to clear off her announce table.
04:16You're right.
04:18Just as I was saying, Tiffany Stratton's advantage against Jax's movement.
04:23How are you going to move well when Jax is about to break everything?
04:28Oh, somebody drop right on top of our announce table about breaking the champion in half.
04:34Find a part of Tiffany Stratton's body that is not bruised and battered already.
04:41We're about two minutes in.
04:43The official on a count of five now.
04:46Tiffany makes it back to her feet, but Nia will drive her back down again.
04:50Nia Jax dominating the early going in this matchup.
04:54And again, it's been all Nia Jax as she pulls out a second table now from outside the ring.
05:24The official begins to count again because Tiffany Stratton collapsed right in front of our announce table.
05:29The champion has not been able to get into this fight.
05:32I like what you said then.
05:33It's been all Nia Jax.
05:34And that was quite literally what everybody thought was going to happen.
05:38It was inevitable.
05:40Apart from one woman, apparently, Tiffany Stratton.
05:43She got it wrong tonight.
05:45Nia Jax was successful here last year when she won the Queen of the Ring Tournament
05:50to advance to SummerSlam and win the championship from Bayley.
05:54And this is indeed her final night as the official Queen of the Ring.
05:58Of course, we're getting a new one tomorrow.
06:00Either Jay Cargill or Asuka.
06:03But in the meantime, Nia Jax might swap out Queen of the Ring
06:07and become WWE Women's Champ.
06:09Please don't swing that.
06:10Better get out of harm's way as Nia Jax is swinging a kendo stick around here at ringside.
06:15Tiffany Stratton able to intercept.
06:17And Tiffany Stratton fighting with everything she has in this match.
06:20Gotta watch it.
06:20There's bananas everywhere.
06:21You're gonna slip over if you're not careful.
06:23A match like this will change you.
06:25You're gonna dig down deep.
06:26Find out what you have inside.
06:28Can you be tough enough?
06:30I'll tell you what you've got inside.
06:31You've got bones and you've got soft tissue.
06:33And at the end of this, they won't be intact.
06:38Every time Tiffany has a flurry of offense, it is stopped by Nia Jax.
06:46I mean, two things are important here.
06:49Power and durability.
06:51And I will give both of those advantages to Nia Jax.
06:55Quite significant advantages at that.
06:59Nia is just having her way, taking her time with a fallen champion.
07:03On the floor.
07:05The official begins to count again.
07:07Nia Jax has not been off her feet long enough to draw a count from our official Dan Engler.
07:12And what great pacing from Nia Jax, too.
07:15Taking all the time in the world.
07:17And the second, Tiffany Stratton gets back to a vertical base.
07:22She's shot back down again.
07:23Well, you've got to be careful, too, not to take too much time, Wade.
07:26Because if you allow your opponent to have almost a full 10 count each time,
07:30it allows them to recuperate.
07:31A very, very smart point, Cole.
07:34But I think we're beyond recuperation for Tiffany Stratton already.
07:39Breaking the count is one thing.
07:41Summoning up reserves to fight back is something else.
07:44But Wade, now...
07:44And now Stratton with a kendo stick.
07:47And she's going to unload now on Nia Jax.
07:49Driving Jax around the ring.
07:50I mean, here's a woman who not only beat Jax for the title by cashing in in January.
07:55Remember what she did to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.
07:58An incredible performer.
08:00A great champion trying to get back in this match.
08:03And Nia now down for the count.
08:04We're at a count of five with Nia Jax down.
08:17Back to her feet, though.
08:18Tiffany Stratton, the champion, top rope, cross body.
08:21Lateral press will be no cover in this match.
08:23It's last woman standing to the WWE Women's Championship.
08:28Tiffany Stratton now up to the top rope.
08:32Measuring Nia, center of the ring.
08:35Tiffany going to fly for the Swanton!
08:38Connecting!
08:43Count of two.
08:44Tiffany drags herself back to her feet.
08:46Now the focus goes to the challenger, Nia.
08:50Nia is stirring.
08:52And Nia is briefly, anyway, back up.
08:55Yeah, great move by the champion, though.
08:56As soon as she saw Nia Jax getting back to her feet.
08:59Right back on the attack.
09:01Didn't waste any time.
09:02I'm really impressed with Tiffany Stratton shrugging off the amount of offense that has
09:06already been thrown her way.
09:09And now Tiffany going to launch herself up to the second rope.
09:11Nia Jax, though, able to regain herself.
09:14Tiffany up by Nia's shoulders.
09:15This isn't going to be good.
09:17Exposed.
09:17Turnbuckle face first.
09:18Go Stratton.
09:19And that might be a knockout.
09:23Start counting, referee.
09:27Count of two.
09:29Nia Jax could be closing in on what would be her third world championship.
09:35Stratton is barely stirred.
09:37And this count is starting to get dangerously high.
09:42Count of seven now.
09:43Tiffany trying to use the rope to her advantage.
09:45Count of eight.
09:46Makes it back to her feet at eight.
09:48But Nia Jax right back on the assault.
09:51A weakening clearly now is Tiffany Stratton.
09:54That's as high as the count has got thus far.
09:57Two more seconds.
09:58And Nia Jax has the gold once again.
10:01And Nia back outside on the hunt.
10:04Listen, Tiffany Stratton is a tremendous athlete.
10:07One of the best in WWE today.
10:10She's been a great champion.
10:11But it takes a different type of individual to be able to compete in a match like Last Woman Standing.
10:17Yeah, and I think Tiffany Stratton made a major strategic error tonight.
10:22I think she wants to get rid of Jax for good.
10:26Again, this count continues getting high.
10:29Because Jax has just been stalking her like a zombie who will not go away.
10:33Count of seven.
10:34Count of eight.
10:35Stratton barely makes it back to her feet before the ten count again.
10:39And Nia Jax driving her into the barricade.
10:42This has been a fairly, well, uneven match.
10:46Nia Jax really taking out the champion.
10:49And now placing her on the table.
10:52This could be a disaster for Tiffany Stratton.
10:54Bit of swagger in the step now of Nia Jax who has concocted some investment.
11:05And now splashes through Tiffany and through the table.
11:08Splat knows the champion.
11:10And this could be it.
11:11Will Tiffany Stratton somehow rally here?
11:23A count of five.
11:25Halfway to the title is Jax.
11:27We're at six.
11:28We're at seven.
11:29Stratton trying to get up.
11:31A count of eight.
11:32Uses the barricade.
11:33And a count of nine.
11:35Drives herself barely to her feet.
11:37Nine point five.
11:39You couldn't get much closer.
11:41But what's it worth, Stratton?
11:43What the hell can you throw back after absorbing that?
11:48You saw the look of disbelief on the face of Nia Jax
11:52that Tiffany Stratton somehow, maybe instinctively,
11:55made it to her feet before the count of ten.
11:57But it could just be a matter of moments
11:59before Jax wins another world title.
12:03Well, she already got crushed one table.
12:05Might as well take out another.
12:07Or two.
12:15Count of eight.
12:16Once again, Stratton makes it back to her feet.
12:37And now the fight has gone up the entrance ramp here
12:44at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
12:47And every time Tiffany starts to rally Wade,
12:50Nia Jax does not allow it to happen.
12:52Well, she's trying to damn this to get back into this.
12:54But you have to think that frame of Stratton is so weakened at this point.
12:59A, there's no endurance left to launch a number of attacks.
13:04And B, those attacks are probably too weak to do too much damage anyway.
13:08And every time Tiffany goes down, it's been harder and harder.
13:12And she's been slower and slower, making it back to her feet before the count of ten.
13:17You mentioned it earlier, Tiffany Stratton came through that war in the trenches at WrestleMania against Charlotte Flair.
13:26And we did see a very different side to Tiffany, but this is a whole new level.
13:31Yeah, a whole different ball game here.
13:33Last woman standing against one of the most vicious women in WWE.
13:37Oh no!
13:38Tiffany rolls out of harm's way into the screen.
13:41Goes Nia Jax and now Stratton has an opportunity.
13:43Well, you get an opportunity like that, you simply have to make it count.
13:48And Tiffany does not need asking twice.
13:50Where's she going?
13:53Up the kendo stick.
13:55Tiffany Stratton now with one of those equipment cases.
13:59And uses that as a weapon into the knees of Jax and Jax now.
14:04Floored by the champ.
14:05Those things are damn heavy.
14:07About 400 pounds, those equipment boxes.
14:13Nia Jax just ate all of it and wants no further part.
14:19Although they're that heavy, good thing they have wheels.
14:20As Nia Jax now is making her way down the ramp.
14:23Tiffany Stratton still on the attack.
14:25And this could be the opportunity, Wade, that Tiffany Stratton needed.
14:29Just keep throwing whatever you've got the weight of Nia Jax.
14:34And it's astounding that Stratton has bounced back at all.
14:39Yeah, we're learning a lot about the champion tonight.
14:41The resilience of Tiffany Stratton.
14:49Again, last woman standing.
14:51No pinfalls or submissions.
14:54Countouts or disqualifications.
14:56Nia Jax back to her feet and just bulldozing over Stratton.
15:00What time is it?
15:06What time is it?
15:07We're now mocking Tiffany time.
15:09Definitely not Tiffany time right now.
15:12Tiffany time may well be about to end for good.
15:17Now Stratton's driven into the barricade.
15:19It's Tiffany time!
15:21And the official once again will begin to count.
15:25No Tiffany quickly back to her feet this time.
15:27Steel chair in hand.
15:29Completely legal.
15:30Under last woman standing rules.
15:33Chair to the spine!
15:34Nia Jax with a steel chair to the ribs.
15:46One to the spine.
15:47Drops the champion.
15:49Tiffany brought the chair into the match.
15:50Perhaps she wishes she didn't.
15:52Both women going to be hurting so bad at this point.
15:56But clearly got the worst of it.
15:58And this could be the end of things here for Tiffany Stratton.
16:01If Nia Jax hits this.
16:03The biggest weapon in the match.
16:05Annihilator!
16:11And Nia's not done yet.
16:14One more time.
16:16This time with a steel chair.
16:20Annihilator to the steel chair.
16:21And Tiffany Stratton maybe down and out.
16:25Completely splattered.
16:27Tiffany Stratton.
16:36Count of five.
16:37Halfway there.
16:38Halfway to the championship for Jax.
16:39Count of six now.
16:41Count of seven.
16:42Stratton.
16:43Trying to pull herself up at the ropes at a count of eight.
16:46A count of nine.
16:47Stratton makes it to her feet.
16:48Jax catches her in the ribs again with a kendo stick.
16:51Right on that weak spot.
16:53Although saying that where is a weak spot not on the body at Stratton.
16:57After this level of abuse.
16:59And Jax.
17:00Although she's taken a lot herself.
17:02Is looking fresh as a daisy.
17:04You can see the jump glancing up at that.
17:07That is truly terrifying.
17:09And Nia Jax setting up the table now.
17:12Looking for the final blow.
17:14Uh-oh.
17:21And Tiffany on her shoulders.
17:23Nia is going to climb the ropes here.
17:26Going to go up at least one more to the second.
17:29Looking for a Samoan drop through the table.
17:32Looks like she did to the announce table earlier on tonight.
17:35Tiffany though.
17:36Trying to slide down.
17:37Lands on her feet.
17:38Looking for a powerbomb.
17:39Oh no!
17:41Powerbomb through the table by Stratton!
17:48Both women are down.
17:50For the WWE Women's Championship.
18:00Count of five.
18:02Nia Jax beginning to stir.
18:04Count of six now.
18:05Who will make it back to their feet first?
18:08Count of seven.
18:09Count of eight.
18:11Count of nine.
18:12Nia Jax beats the count.
18:14So does Stratton.
18:15Both women up at nine and a half.
18:18Although up perhaps isn't the right word.
18:22Oh God.
18:25Well Naomi said earlier tonight.
18:27I'm going to pick my spot.
18:28Maybe it will be tonight.
18:29And there's money in the bank.
18:31Heading to the ring.
18:32Naomi.
18:32Maybe looking to cash in money in the bank.
18:35And if she does that means.
18:37I guess she'd be a part of the last woman standing match.
18:40But cash in didn't quite happen.
18:41Tiffany Strode.
18:43Cut Naomi up at the pass.
18:45But she's going to use the money in the bank briefcase as a weapon.
18:49She knows very well how to do that.
18:51As she drives Jackson and Naomi.
18:53Well you're two for the price of one here.
18:55Jack.
18:57Stratton.
18:58Oh pretty a smooth salt.
19:00And now Jax is down.
19:07Naomi did not officially cash in.
19:11It was thwarted by Stratton.
19:13A split second away from it.
19:16But the damage might be done here.
19:18Count of six.
19:18Nia Jax down and out.
19:20Stratton looking to retain the championship.
19:22Nia trying to make it back to her feet.
19:24One last gasp by Nia Jax.
19:26Just beats the count.
19:27You cannot keep Nia Jax down for ten.
19:31It is impossible.
19:33Too strong.
19:34Uh oh.
19:35Two tables.
19:36Perked outside the ring there.
19:38Nia Jax.
19:39Evil intentions.
19:41Looking for a suplex of Stratton.
19:45And Nia hung up on the top rope.
19:50Stratton.
19:51Not as dangerous a place as you can be for Jax.
19:55And using the briefcase, Jax threw both tables.
20:02Nia Jax is down and may be out.
20:06Count of four.
20:09Count of five.
20:11Nia Jax yet to stir.
20:14She may be out.
20:15Jax may be out cold.
20:16Tiffany Stratton is the last woman standing.
20:25There is your winner.
20:27And still WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton.
20:38Wow what an...
20:39...
20:40...
20:41...
20:42...
20:42...
20:42...
