00:00Ladies and gentlemen, the following is the finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament,
00:12in which the winner will go on to challenge for their brands, Women's Championship at SummerSlam!
00:30Wow!
00:59Introducing first, from Osaka, Japan, the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka!
01:12The Empress who wants to become Queen, Asuka, who returned to action a couple of weeks ago
01:20after missing 13 months with a knee injury.
01:23In a recent interview, Asuka talked about the recovery process.
01:27She said it wasn't easy.
01:28There were many tough days, but the voice of the WWE fans begging her return are what kept her going.
01:35She never stopped.
01:36She matched her intensity in the training room to rehab, to get ready.
01:41And Wade, she says she's better than ever, and this is just the beginning.
01:46Well, she certainly has been better than ever on this run in the tournament so far.
01:51I think blowing everyone's minds at the caliber of performances she's put in.
01:56The knee clearly not an issue now.
01:58I do question the endurance, however, given that we're in such a hot, humid atmosphere.
02:05Even though we're inside here in Riyadh, I'm sweating pockets.
02:09And that may be a talent factor for a competitor who has barely competed in over 400 days.
02:21A storm is coming.
02:51And her opponent from Farrow Beach, Florida.
03:08Jade Cargill!
03:13Jade Cargill has never competed for a singles championship in WWE.
03:20WWE is an opportunity to change that.
03:23If she wins tonight, she would go on to SummerSlam to take on the WWE Women's Champion.
03:29If Asuka wins, she would headline SummerSlam against the Women's World Champion.
03:35It was back in May of 2024, last year in Backlash, Lyon, France.
03:45But Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair took the tag team titles from the Kabuki Warriors, Kyrie Stane and Asuka.
03:51And it was on that night that Asuka injured her knee.
03:54That would cost her 13 months of action.
03:56Wade, will that come to play?
03:57Will that be in her head here tonight?
03:59Yeah, I don't think it will.
04:01Sometimes you have that kind of speck that hanging over you when a competitor has injured you.
04:06And you either beat them doing it again or you really want to get vengeance.
04:11It was a fairly innocuous injury the way it went down.
04:14It wasn't a targeting attack on the knee of Asuka.
04:17I don't think that will come into play in the side of Asuka whatsoever.
04:20The first time ever one-on-one between these two women.
04:26In 2021, Zelina Vega won the Queen's crown.
04:32Last year, Nia Jax won the Queen of the Ring.
04:35She went on to SummerSlam to beat Bayley for the WWE Women's title.
04:39Who will become the latest Queen of the Ring?
04:44Two highly respectful competitors, but it did come to blows.
04:48Last night on SmackDown, the thin veneer of civility was scratched off quickly.
04:54With Asuka getting the best of Jade last night.
04:57And Jade said on the Countdown Show, Asuka made a mistake when it came to blows like that.
05:02So let's talk strategy.
05:03If you're Jade Cargill in this matchup,
05:05how do you match a woman who I believe is a first ballot Hall of Famer in Asuka?
05:09Well, clearly there's a massive disparity in resumes here.
05:13An experienced Jade Cargill, miles behind Asuka.
05:16But you've got to hope that power game that you're known for
05:20really neutralizes that disparity in the early goings.
05:24And Asuka, we're going to put Cargill away early.
05:26Asuka, going to pull out every trick in the book here tonight.
05:30Cargill away turning it around.
05:31And there's the power you talked about with the side slam.
05:34Cover, hook on the inside leg, and a kick out.
05:37It's really hard to find a weakness with regards to Jade Cargill.
05:41Occasionally, the temperament has been an issue.
05:44And over a fact that Nia Jax has exploited that in the past.
05:48And got Jade Cargill to essentially get herself disqualified.
05:51Oh, nice.
05:52Dragon screw on the rope by Asuka, who's taken over.
05:55Now, you talk about a weakness in Cargill.
05:58One of the things I noticed in her semifinal matchup against Roxanne Perez
06:01was the fact that she got frustrated.
06:04Roxanne Perez had her out of her game,
06:06and she got extremely frustrated and almost cost her.
06:09And now, the knee comes into play.
06:11And that's often an issue when competitors are bigger and stronger
06:14than most of the roster.
06:16When things aren't going their way,
06:18it's not what they're used to.
06:20They're supposed to be dominant.
06:21They're supposed to be able to control proceedings.
06:24And sometimes, they lose their rank when that doesn't happen.
06:27And this is a tremendous strategy.
06:29Cover now by Asuka, kick out.
06:31To take out the leg of Cargill
06:33and make it an even playing field.
06:35Take the power game away.
06:36And even the way that went down,
06:38Asuka really baited Cargill into making a mistake in the early goings,
06:42realizing, look, the bigger, powerful superstar, Jay Cargill.
06:46If I take that knee out,
06:47suddenly, we're a lot more equal in terms of the power game.
06:50Asuka, a four-time world champion.
06:54Oh, jeez.
06:55As NXT Women's Champion,
06:56she held it a record 510 days.
07:01Four-time tag champ.
07:02She's won the Money in the Bank Royal Rumble.
07:04And who won't forget,
07:05the first 914 days she was at NXT and at WWE Wade,
07:11she was undefeated.
07:12She's won pretty much everything apart from the Queen of the Ring.
07:15Yeah, got a knee bar on Jade Cargill.
07:20The damaged knee.
07:21Asuka now.
07:23Not a single thing has gone right for Jade Cargill right from the beginning.
07:28That is how good the strategy of Asuka has been.
07:31Yeah, but Jade Cargill looking to make it back to her feet.
07:34Shoulders down momentarily.
07:35And a great move.
07:36There's the power of Cargill coming into play.
07:39Dumping Asuka on the back of her head.
07:41It's a deadly wheelbarrow German suplex.
07:44And you're right,
07:45the power game has finally got a bit of breathing room here for Cargill.
07:50So we're going to learn a lot about Jade Cargill in this match,
07:54Wade.
07:54The fact that she's got a damaged knee already after the attack by Asuka.
07:59Yeah,
07:59what's been the knock on Jade Cargill in a run in WWE so far
08:03is that she's been tagging with Bianca Belair.
08:06And trust me,
08:07pretty much anyone can win a tag title with Bianca Belair.
08:11But we saw Cargill step up huge at WrestleMania on her own against former
08:16friend Naomi.
08:18And that's the kind of confidence building win that has propelled Cargill to
08:24this final.
08:25And now the fall away slam by Jade Cargill and a kip up.
08:29Sure how wise that was on a bad knee,
08:32but she pulled it off.
08:36Now Asuka back to her feet and a kick drops Asuka.
08:40That was a bullseye.
08:41Using full extension of those long limbs.
08:49Look at Al power Asuka again with a choke slam,
08:51dropping her in the middle of the ring.
08:53Cover now for the win.
08:54Asuka just got a shoulder up barely.
08:57You've got to give Jade Cargill all the credit in the world.
09:00She gets better every single time we see it.
09:03Clearly putting in the hard hours behind the scenes.
09:06Nailing a choke slam here.
09:08And Asuka who dominated the first five minutes of this,
09:11looks like a changed woman now, though, of course, fighting back.
09:15Yeah, no, Jade Cargill, one of the, one of her toughest matches to date.
09:19Tough matchup when it comes to Asuka.
09:21So well-skilled in everything.
09:23Both women down.
09:27Finals of the Queen of the Ring.
09:29Sold out tonight.
09:30The Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
09:34It's been an incredible couple of days as we prepare for the Royal Rumble here in Riyadh.
09:40First part of 2026.
09:43Both women struggling at this point.
09:46They've both taken and given massive, massive shots.
09:50The gleam of that crown has to be driving these two on.
10:00Jade Cargill beginning to get the upper hand now.
10:02Delivering the right hand to the blows.
10:03Asuka, though.
10:04There's that backhand.
10:05And a kick to the midsection.
10:06And here comes Asuka.
10:07This right here is classic Asuka.
10:09Yeah, nine times out of ten, you always back the powerhouse in a strike exchange.
10:13Asuka's different, though.
10:15An absolute expert in the strike game.
10:18And if Jade Cargill didn't know, well, now she does.
10:21Yeah, Asuka's a joy to watch.
10:23And now she's going to go up top.
10:24She's got Cargill on the ropes and she knows it.
10:27Asuka.
10:28Missile block kick.
10:29Down goes Cargill.
10:30Asuka will go for the cover here and try to win the tournament.
10:33Jade kicks out.
10:35Well, you talked a few moments ago about how we're going to learn a lot about Jade Cargill.
10:39Now it is learning time.
10:41Because Cargill really is going to have to dig deep and come up with some answers here.
10:46She's on the ropes.
10:47She's in big trouble.
10:49And Asuka smells victory.
11:01Asuka have planned here.
11:04Oh, Jade Cargill, though.
11:05No standing switch by Jade.
11:07Power now.
11:07Asuka rolls through.
11:08Shoulders down.
11:09Is it enough?
11:10Not quite.
11:10Asuka's doing a great job of just confusing Cargill.
11:14But wait up.
11:15And again, the power of Cargill.
11:17Overwhelming Asuka.
11:18Sit-out powerbomb.
11:20Asuka gets out at two.
11:22Just one moment of mental clarity from Jade Cargill.
11:26Turns the tie.
11:27Once again, blocking that knee strike.
11:30Powering up her opponent.
11:32Driving it out with that sit-out powerbomb.
11:35That almost, almost gets the crown in the hands of Jade Cargill.
11:40Referee, Stephanie LaShawn.
11:41Oh!
11:42Match of armbar now by Asuka.
11:43Armbar now by Asuka.
11:45Armbar now by Asuka, center of the ring.
11:46And that arm is fully extended.
11:48Now desperately trying to block.
11:51Just about hugging those arms.
11:53How she powered around that one.
11:55Oh, God.
11:55Asuka back into the full armbar now on Jade.
11:58And a massive hyperextension.
12:01Smart by Cargill.
12:02Cargill, though, turns it into a pinning combination.
12:04And a kick-out.
12:06There's a big boot by Jade.
12:07Florian Asuka.
12:11And now Cargill.
12:12Went up.
12:14Asuka, though.
12:15Jade was going for Jade.
12:16And Asuka now, again, looking for the Asuka lock.
12:19Looking for the Asuka lock on Cargill.
12:21Long way from the ropes now in extreme agony.
12:25Cargill in trouble.
12:28Asuka with the Asuka lock in.
12:30Cargill trying to fight out of it.
12:32Again, trying to turn it into a pinning combination.
12:34And she goes again and again.
12:35And another great counter.
12:37That was so resourceful from Cargill.
12:39But she took the front of South for the old slump that followed.
12:46And Asuka could be closing in.
12:52Empress Impact, but caught.
12:53Intercepted by Cargill.
12:55Great counter.
12:56Down goes Asuka.
12:59Cover.
13:00Off.
13:01Jaden.
13:02Jade Cargill wins.
13:05Queen of the ring.
13:12Well, Jade Cargill is your queen of the ring.
13:17But she had to crawl through hell to get there.
13:21Absolutely spent.
13:24Exhausted.
13:26But block out the pain.
13:28You are the queen of WWE, Jade.
13:32Biggest win of Jade Cargill's singles career here in WWE thus far.
13:37Not only is she queen of the ring.
13:40She's going to SummerSlam.
13:42Asuka had the Asuka locked in.
13:44But another great counter by Jade.
13:45Very impressive was Jade with her counters tonight.
13:48Yeah, clearly been working on reversals and escape plans.
13:53But this was the moment.
13:54And I thought it was game over.
13:55Asuka immediately pouncing.
13:57Going in for that Empress Impact.
14:00But the power of Cargill was too much.
14:02Honked Asuka.
14:04Empress of Tomorrow goes down.
14:06Victory in sight.
14:08No mistakes from here for Cargill.
14:10General Managers Pierce and Elvis in the ring to present Jade Cargill with the queen of the ring crown.
14:16Here is your winner and the new queen of the ring, Jade Cargill!
14:31As Jade celebrates, let's head up to Byron Saxton.
14:34Jade, you are now headed to SummerSlam in a match for the WWE Women's Championship.
14:44How do you feel?
14:46You know, Byron, when I first entered this tournament, it felt like the world was on my shoulders.
14:54But you know what?
14:57For the people out there who are down themselves, praise yourself because you are fighting through the booze.
15:04Don't let them tell you who you are.
15:09You showed them.
15:12And the grind don't stop.
15:15A storm is coming for SummerSlam.
15:23Well, it remains to be seen who will be the WWE Women's Champion at SummerSlam.
15:28It could be Tiffany Stratton.
15:29It could be Naomi, who's missed money in the bank.
15:32But Jade Cargill has an opportunity.
15:36MetLife Stadium in New Jersey the first weekend of August.
15:39To win her first singles championship in WWE.
15:52To win her first singles championship in WWE.
16:09To win her first member of May.
16:28But wouldn't I choose her first Inv acc Template in 2022?
