00:00This next bout set for one fall with a 30 minute time limit is for
00:07the TBS Championship.
00:12That was some heavy comments right there.
00:14Yes it was.
00:15By Daniel Garcia, I respect what that young man just said.
00:18Go for yours, man.
00:19T.O. T.O. T.O.
00:23Introduce the first from Boston, Massachusetts.
00:26She is the new TBS Champion, the C.E.O.
00:33MERCEDES MUDDY!
00:37I don't think Mercedes expected to wrestle tonight, but she's willing.
00:40Tony Khan, of course, made it official.
00:44And Charlie, this is a big test for Mercedes.
00:47A year plus away from the ring.
00:51Victorious this past Sunday night at Double or Nothing, winning the TBS Championship
00:55and then just having to turn around days later to defend that title for the first time.
00:59And the long history of wrestling on TBS.
01:02The first time we've ever seen Mercedes Monet wrestle here on TBS.
01:07And it's a title defense against the girl that admitted to attacking her in the dark,
01:13Sky Blue.
01:14She attacked her in a dark weeks ago and she attacked her tonight from behind.
01:18Right.
01:18At the top of this program.
01:19So, you know Mercedes is pissed off at this young lady coming out here right now.
01:27And the challenger from Chicago, Illinois, Sky Blue.
01:33The change of Sky Blue has been startling from what we first saw of her years ago here in AEW.
01:40Well, we saw that friendship she had, or has, I should say, welcomed Julia Hart.
01:45And that kind of rubbed off on her.
01:47And I like that out of Sky Blue, to be honest.
01:50Remember Julia Hart, former TBS champion.
01:52Sky Blue, if you look at the, avenge the loss her friend suffered.
02:00Right.
02:01Good call.
02:01Well, you're giving, you know, Sky Blue's giving up a lot of experience here
02:06to someone who's very motivated to defend that championship,
02:10a brand new championship for Mercedes.
02:12So, and that attacks that we discussed that Sky has done to Mercedes.
02:17So, here we go.
02:18Well, Sky went for the shot out of the corner.
02:20Mercedes ducked underneath, landed a counter-strike of her own.
02:24And now, Mercedes letting Sky Blue feel the wrath of the CEO.
02:30Yeah.
02:31Buckling that head, left and right, right and left.
02:33Now, forearm shots.
02:37History is being made right here on TBS, and we love it.
02:42Mercedes slides through that knee strike to the jaw as backs up Sky Blue.
02:47And now Mercedes coming through with that arm drag.
02:51And Tony, we just mentioned a few minutes ago, Mercedes a year-plus layoff,
02:55and now going for the cover there.
02:57And this is a tough test for her, just like we were saying a moment ago.
03:00Right, absolutely.
03:04Right now, you can see that Mercedes just keeping that pressure on
03:08the challenger here.
03:09And, oh, shoulder of the midsection backs Sky into the ring.
03:14See, Harris takes down Sky Blue.
03:17And Sky, she may have had the psychological advantage going into this match
03:23due to all those blindsided attacks on Mercedes Manet.
03:26But Sky most certainly, or excuse me, Mercedes, most certainly seems to have regained that advantage.
03:31I think Sky's saying, I'm getting the hell out of here.
03:34I don't want her on this.
03:35I saw her wave her hand, but then she turned back around and got kicked in the bush.
03:37There's Mercedes Manet.
03:40Look at this, man.
03:41Diving Meteora!
03:43Wow, Meteora Jones right there.
03:45We're talking about her second match back after the injury.
03:48And she is letting it all hang out here, so to speak.
03:52Yeah, let's take another look at that.
03:54Meteora right here, right off the apron, just popping.
03:59Oh, he's got the ring, the cover.
04:01And Sky Blue able to kick out.
04:04Damn, Mercedes Manet throwing it all at her opponent here.
04:09Well, in Las Vegas this past weekend, we saw how great Mercedes looked between the ropes.
04:16I mean, and her matchup, I should say, and captured that TBS title against a very tremendous
04:22former champion.
04:25Sky Blue trying to get one over on the new champion, but waist lock and into the ropes.
04:30Mercedes slips through the rope to the side of the head.
04:35That was the first, obviously, mistake in this matchup.
04:38All this hanging out to dry here.
04:41Nice.
04:41The draping neck breaker by Sky Blue as she goes for the cover.
04:47Two, and this match continues in picture in picture.
04:52See right there, Sky Blue doing what you're supposed to do.
05:00The opening was there.
05:01She's exploring it, staying on top of her, on top of the champion with physicality.
05:07Now mocking her.
05:07That was a pretty good impersonation of Mercedes.
05:10Good job by Sky Blue.
05:11And Mercedes trying to pull herself up with the assistance of the ropes with Sky Blue.
05:15They're right on top of the newly crowned champion.
05:20Taz, we talked about what a physical match it was this past Sunday night at Double or Nothing.
05:25And Mercedes Manet, Manet walked out as TBS champion, but Willow Nightingale put forth an incredible effort.
05:31Oh, there's no debating that, no argument at all in Willow for sure.
05:36I mean, and all that stuff that happened with Stokely and stuff like that, that, and Statlander, that, that inadvertently helped, you know, Mercedes captured that title from Willow.
05:47But was it inadvertently with what we saw after the match?
05:50No, you're right.
05:50That's true.
05:51Good point.
05:51Good point.
05:54Now Sky slipping underneath the champion, landed an elbow strike.
05:59Tony, how, how wild is it that we could say that Mercedes Manet is the TBS champion here in AEW?
06:05Yeah, and one thing she's going to have to learn, everybody wants to be a champion.
06:09If she can survive this match, there could be more contenders coming out of her.
06:15No strategy challenges.
06:16Absolutely.
06:17Any championship you hold, you're going to have, you know,
06:21no matter if it's on the men's roster or the women's roster, you're going to have men and women coming at you.
06:25That's just the way it goes.
06:27You hold the championship.
06:27You make more money.
06:28You have more fame.
06:29You have more popularity.
06:31That's how it goes.
06:32And you want to be a champion.
06:33If you don't want to be a champion, you probably shouldn't be here.
06:36Absolutely.
06:36That's a great call, Taz.
06:37You are right.
06:43Yes.
06:43Mercedes carrying the weight.
06:45This guy will be backing her up to the corner.
06:46I do have a question for you.
06:47I'm here for you.
06:49I'm here for you.
06:51That's not what you were saying earlier.
06:52Oh, my goodness.
06:54Oh.
06:55Just don't call your block off.
06:56Just don't call him dude.
06:58Yeah.
06:58No, that's Taz.
06:59Oh, that's Taz.
07:00Oh, hold a match.
07:01That guy works for you.
07:03By the way, Mercedes is down and out.
07:07Finish all those signatures.
07:08Sky looking for the cover.
07:10The near leg hooked.
07:11And Mercedes able to kick out.
07:13Sky returning the cover once again.
07:16Big pressure applied by Sky Blue here.
07:19The newly crowned TBS champion, the CEO, Mercedes Manet, looking to make the first defense of
07:31her championship reign, but Sky Blue is not making it easy, Tony.
07:35Two title matches for Mercedes.
07:36One is challenger.
07:37One is champion within less than a week.
07:41And here on TBS, Mercedes for the first time ever.
07:46Oh, Mercedes.
07:47A couple shots to Sky Blue as she was charging into the corner.
07:49Mercedes.
07:51Whoa.
07:51Nice.
07:52That was nicely done.
07:53You are right, Taz.
07:54Now Sunset Flip.
07:55Mercedes.
07:56No, not a Sunset Flip.
07:57Instead, using the knee strike.
07:59The legs are hooked.
08:01The one leg was hooked.
08:02If she had gotten both legs, Taz, if that momentum had carried her through into a pinning predicament,
08:07that could have been better for Sky Blue with a backstabber.
08:09I think you're right, but here's another cover.
08:11The far leg hooked this time, and Sky able to kick out.
08:13Yeah, our fans of Palm Springs will be there tomorrow for collision.
08:18Seven o'clock bell time.
08:21And then one week from tonight, our debut in Loveland, Colorado, just outside of Denver.
08:28As Mercedes Manet climbing up to the road.
08:31Sky Blue, though.
08:33Ah, Sky Blue right there realized it.
08:35She stopped.
08:36Uh-oh, look at this.
08:37She's strapping her head in that buckle.
08:38Kick to the face.
08:41Kick to the face.
08:43Mercedes Manet sinks down in the corner.
08:44Now Sky Blue perhaps thinking powerbomb.
08:46Champs in trouble here.
08:48You're not kidding.
08:48Sky.
08:49No, maybe not.
08:51What a great counter move that was.
08:52Mercedes reverses, but you can see just by the body language how dazed Mercedes Manet is.
08:58As Sky comes out looking for that full Nelson.
09:04And she's got Mercedes up.
09:06Lights are down.
09:07Thanks.
09:07Face first.
09:08Sky Blue, is she going to take it here?
09:10Two.
09:10No, Mercedes kicks out.
09:12That's a big time kick out right there.
09:15By the brand new TBS champion, and you can see the frustration in Blue.
09:19Sky Blue had to realize what she was getting into.
09:26I understand taking the attacks, but she's wrestling one of the great women of all time here.
09:30That's right.
09:31The wrestling resume of Mercedes Manet is not exactly a secret.
09:34She has traveled the world.
09:35She's won championships all over the world.
09:37As Sky Blue ducks underneath the boot.
09:40No, the knee strike there from Mercedes with the thrust kick from Sky.
09:43She told Sky Blue to bring it, and Sky Blue brought it.
09:46And Sky looking for the code blue.
09:47No, Mercedes shrugs her off.
09:49Up on the shoulders.
09:51Body maker, center of the ring.
09:52That might be it.
09:53One, two, three.
09:58There's your winner and still TBS champion, the CEO, Mercedes Manet.
10:06The little things, the little things, the little things and everything.
10:09She went for the cover, Mercedes did.
10:11She knew she had that arm under the shoulder.
10:13She moved her hand out, Mercedes, to make sure the shoulders were down for the three count.
10:20Little subtle things like that is why this lady here is going to be tough to topple.
10:24Very high wrestling IQ for the CEO, for the TBS champion, Mercedes Manet.
10:31And wait a second, what is this?
10:33Hang on here, hang on.
10:35Stephanie Vacker from CMLL, the New Japan strong women's champion.
10:47Could potentially, Tony, be looking to add some other gold to her collection.
10:57Raising up that strong belt.
11:00Mercedes raises up the TBS title.
11:03Love to see this.
11:04Love to be able to see this.
11:06Yeah, no doubt about it.
11:07I agree, Shivani.
11:08So unpredictable during forbidden tour season.
11:11You love to see it.
11:13And you love to see Rene Paquette take it away.
11:16As we saw earlier.
11:28You.
11:30You.
11:32You.
11:36You.
11:38You.
11:40You.
11:42You.
11:44You.
