00:00But who will be anointed queen?
00:03Jade Cargill looks to put an end to the surging Oscar.
00:05But will the Empress of Tomorrow have what it takes to win today?
00:08Two deserving women, one crown.
00:10The Queen of the Ring Finals is next.
00:20Ladies and gentlemen, the following is the finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament
00:27in which the winner will go on to challenge for their brands
00:31Women's Championship at SummerSlam!
01:14Introducing first from Osaka, Japan, the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka!
01:25The Empress who wants to become Queen, Asuka, who returned to action a couple of weeks ago
01:35after missing 13 months with a knee injury.
01:38In a recent interview, Asuka talked about the recovery process.
01:42She said it wasn't easy.
01:43There were many tough days, but the voice of the WWE fans begging her to return are what kept her going.
01:49She never stopped.
01:50She matched her intensity in the training room to rehab, to get ready.
01:55And Wade, she says she's better than ever, and this is just the beginning.
02:00Well, she certainly has been better than ever on this run in the tournament so far.
02:05I think blowing everyone's minds at the caliber of performances she put in.
02:11The knee clearly not an issue now.
02:13I do question the endurance, however, given that we're in such a hot, humid atmosphere.
02:19Even though we're inside here in Riyadh, I'm sweating pockets.
02:23And that may be a talent factor for a competitor who has barely competed in over 400 days.
02:30A storm is coming.
03:00And her opponent from Farrow Beach, Florida, Jade Cargill!
03:23Jade Cargill has never competed for a singles championship in WWE.
03:29There's an opportunity to change that if she wins tonight.
03:33She would go on to SummerSlam to take on the WWE Women's Champion.
03:38If Asuka wins, she would headline SummerSlam against the Women's World Champion.
03:44It was back in May of 2024, last year in Backlash Lyon, France.
03:53Jake Cargill and Bianca Belair took the tag team titles to the Kabuki Warriors, Kyrie Stane and Asuka.
03:59And it was on that night that Asuka injured her knee.
04:02That would cost her 13 months of action.
04:05Wade, will that come into play?
04:06Will that be in her head here tonight?
04:08Yeah, I don't think it will.
04:10Sometimes you have that kind of specter hanging over you when a competitor has injured you.
04:15And you're either feeding them doing it again or you really want to get vengeance.
04:19It was a fairly innocuous injury the way it went down.
04:23It wasn't a targeted attack on the knee of Asuka.
04:25I don't think that will come into play in the side knee of Asuka whatsoever.
04:29First time ever one-on-one between these two women.
04:35In 2021, Zelina Vega won the Queen's crown.
04:40Last year, Nia Jax won the Queen of the Ring.
04:43She went on to SummerSlam to beat Bayley for the WWE Women's title,
04:48who will become the latest Queen of the Ring.
04:53Two highly respectful competitors, but it did come to blows last night on SmackDown.
04:58The thin veneer of civility was scratched off quickly.
05:02With Asuka getting the best of Jade last night.
05:05And Jade said on the countdown show,
05:07Asuka made a mistake when it came to blows like that.
05:10So let's talk strategy.
05:11If you're Jade Cargill in this matchup,
05:13how do you match a woman who I believe is a first ballot Hall of Famer in Asuka?
05:17Well, clearly there's a massive disparity in resumes here.
05:21An experienced Jade Cargill, miles behind Asuka.
05:25But you've got to hope that power game that you're known for
05:28really neutralizes that disparity in the early goings.
05:32And Asuka looking to put Cargill away early.
05:34Asuka gonna pull out every trick in the book here tonight.
05:38Cargill turning it around.
05:39And this is the power you talked about with the side slam.
05:42Cover, hook on the inside leg and a kick out.
05:45It's really hard to find a weakness with regards to Jade Cargill.
05:49Occasionally, the temperament has been an issue.
05:52And over a fact that Nia Jax has exploited that in the past.
05:56And got Jade Cargill to essentially get herself disqualified.
06:00Oh nice.
06:01Dragon screw on the rope by Asuka who's taken over.
06:04Now you talk about a weakness in Cargill.
06:06One of the things I noticed in her semi-final matchup against Roxanne Perez.
06:10Was the fact that she got frustrated.
06:13But Roxanne Perez had her out of her game.
06:15And she got extremely frustrated and almost lost her.
06:18And now the knee comes into play.
06:20And that's often an issue when the competitors are bigger and stronger
06:23than most of the roster.
06:25When things aren't going their way.
06:27It's not what they're used to.
06:29They're supposed to be dominant.
06:30They're supposed to be able to control proceedings.
06:32And sometimes they lose their rag when that doesn't happen.
06:36Boom!
06:37And this is a tremendous strategy.
06:38Cover now by Asuka.
06:39Kick out.
06:40To take out the leg of Cargill.
06:42And make it an even playing field.
06:43Take the power game away.
06:45And even the way that went down.
06:47Asuka really baited Cargill into making a mistake in the early goings.
06:51Realizing look the bigger powerful superstar.
06:54Jade Cargill.
06:55If I take that knee out.
06:56Suddenly we're a lot more equal in terms of the power game.
06:59Asuka a four-time world champion.
07:02Oh jeez.
07:03As NXT Women's Champion.
07:05She held it a record 510 days.
07:09Four-time tag champ.
07:11She's won the Money in the Bank.
07:12The Royal Rumble.
07:13And who will forget.
07:14The first 914 days she was at NXT.
07:18And at WWE Wade.
07:19She was undefeated.
07:20She's won pretty much everything.
07:22Apart from the Queen of the Ring.
07:24And that's how you look to Jade.
07:25Yeah got a knee bar on.
07:27On Jade Cargill.
07:29The damaged knee.
07:30Asuka now.
07:32Not a single thing has gone right for Jade Cargill.
07:35Right from the beginning.
07:36That is how good the strategy of Asuka has been.
07:39Yeah but Jade Cargill looking to make it back to her feet.
07:42Shoulders down.
07:43Momentarily.
07:44And a great move.
07:45There's the power of Cargill coming into play.
07:47Dumping Asuka on the back of her head.
07:49It's a deadly wheelbarrow German suplex.
07:53And you're right.
07:54The power game has finally got a bit of breathing room here.
07:58For Cargill.
07:59We're gonna learn a lot about Jade Cargill in this match Wade.
08:03The fact that she's got a damaged knee already.
08:06After the attack by Asuka.
08:07Yeah what's been the knock on Jade Cargill in a run in WWE so far.
08:11It's that she's been tagging with Bianca Belair.
08:15And trust me.
08:16Pretty much anyone can win a tag title.
08:18With Bianca Belair.
08:20But we saw Cargill step up huge at WrestleMania.
08:23On her own against former friend Naomi.
08:26And that's the kind of confidence building win.
08:30That has propelled Cargill to this final.
08:33And now the fall away slam by Jade Cargill.
08:36And a kip up.
08:38Sure how wise that was on a bad knee.
08:40But she pulled it off.
08:41Now Asuka.
08:42Back to her feet.
08:43And a kick drops Asuka.
08:44That was a bullseye.
08:45Using full extension of those long limbs.
08:46Come on.
08:47Look at Al power Asuka again.
08:48With a choke slam.
08:49Dropping her in the middle of the ring.
08:50Cover now.
08:51For the win.
08:52Asuka just got a shoulder up.
08:53Barely.
08:54You gotta give Jade Cargill all the credit in the world.
08:55She gets better every single time we see her.
08:56Clearly putting in the hard hours behind the scenes.
08:57Nailing a choke slam here.
08:58And Asuka who dominated the first five minutes of this.
08:59Looks like a changed woman now though.
09:00Of course fighting back.
09:01Yeah no.
09:02Jade Cargill one of the.
09:03One of the toughest matches to date.
09:04Tough match up.
09:05My last time.
09:06Asuka again with a choke slam.
09:07Dropping her in the middle of the ring.
09:08Cover now.
09:09For the win.
09:10Asuka just got a shoulder up.
09:11Barely.
09:12You gotta give Jade Cargill all the credit in the world.
09:13She gets better every single time we see her.
09:14Clearly putting in the hard hours behind the scenes.
09:16Nailing a choke slam here.
09:17And Asuka who dominated the first five minutes of this.
09:20Looks like a changed woman now though.
09:22Of course fighting back.
09:24Yeah no.
09:25Jade Cargill one of the.
09:26One of her toughest matches to date.
09:28Tough match up when it comes to Asuka.
09:30So well skilled in everything.
09:34Both women down.
09:36Finals of the queen of the ring.
09:38Sold out tonight.
09:40The Kingdom Arena.
09:41Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
09:43It's been an incredible couple of days.
09:45As we prepare for the Royal Rumble here in Riyadh.
09:49First part of 2026.
09:52Both women struggling at this point.
09:54They've both taken and given.
09:57Massive, massive shots.
09:59The gleam of that crown.
10:01Has to be driving these two on.
10:07Jade Cargill beginning to get the upper hand now.
10:10Delivering the right hand to the blows.
10:11Asuka though.
10:12There's that back hand.
10:13And a kick to the mid section.
10:15And here comes Asuka.
10:16Asuka.
10:17This right here is classic Asuka.
10:18Yeah nine times out of ten.
10:19You always buck the powerhouse in a strike exchange.
10:22Asuka's different though.
10:23An absolute expert in the strike game.
10:26And if Jade Cargill didn't know.
10:29Well now she does.
10:30Asuka a joy to watch.
10:31And now she's going to go up top.
10:33She's got Cargill on the ropes and she knows it.
10:35Asuka.
10:36Missile block kick.
10:37Down goes Cargill.
10:38Asuka will go for the cover here.
10:40And try to win the tournament.
10:42Jade kicks out.
10:43Well you talked a few moments ago.
10:45About how we're going to learn a lot about Jade Cargill.
10:48Now it is learning time.
10:50Because Cargill really is going to have to dig deep.
10:53And come up with some answers here.
10:54She's on the ropes.
10:56She's in big trouble.
10:58And Asuka smells victory.
11:10Asuka have planned here.
11:12Uh oh.
11:13Jade Cargill though.
11:14No standing switch by Jade.
11:15Power now.
11:16Asuka rolls through.
11:17Shoulders down.
11:18Is it enough?
11:19Not quite.
11:20Asuka's doing a great job of just confusing Cargill.
11:22But wait up.
11:23And again the power of Cargill.
11:25Overwhelming Asuka.
11:27Sit out powerbomb.
11:29Asuka gets out at two.
11:31Just one moment of mental clarity from Jade Cargill.
11:35Turns the tie.
11:36Once again blocking that knee strike.
11:39Powering up her opponent.
11:41Driving her down.
11:42That sit out powerbomb.
11:43That almost.
11:44Almost.
11:45Gets the crown in the hands of Jade Cargill.
11:48Referee.
11:49Daphne LaShawn.

11:54Center of the ring.
11:55And that arm is fully extended.
11:57Now desperately trying to block.

12:02How she powered her.
12:03Oh god.
12:04Asuka.
12:05Back into the full armbar now on Jade.
12:08And a massive hyperextension.
12:10Smart by Cargill.
12:11Cargill though.
12:12Turns it into a hitting combination.
12:13And a kick out.
12:15There's a big boot by Jade.
12:16Flooring Asuka.
12:20And now Cargill.
12:21Went off.
12:23Asuka though.
12:24Jade was going for Jade and Asuka now.
