00:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:16Introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona,
00:21WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella.
00:29For the first time in nearly seven years, Nikki Bella in a match on Raw,
00:34takes on Chelsea Green live on Netflix.
00:53Nikki Bella looked wonderful in the battle royal last night.
00:58A lot of stories coming from that matchup,
01:00heading into her match with Chelsea Green,
01:02that we'll get into in just a little bit.
01:04And Nikki showing the WWE Universe not only is she fearless,
01:08she is timeless as well, looking like she never missed a step.
01:12But how will Nikki fare in one-on-one action
01:15against one of the best in the game today?
01:17Going to find out, first time in nearly seven years
01:19in a match here on Monday Night Raw.
01:29Nikki, so excited to be back in WWE,
01:31says that she has a lot to prove to herself this time around.
01:35We know Sam Roberts and Megan Morant dive into everything from Monday Night Raw
01:44and WWE on the Raw Recap, brought to you by Fanatics.
01:48Available tomorrow morning.
01:50Their guest this week, none other than Nikki Bella.
01:55I can say that you want me so much.
01:59This is the way that you can call me fun.
02:03This is the way that you can call me fun.
02:08Pledge your allegiance to Chelsea Green.
02:25And her opponent accompanied by The Secret Purpose,
02:31the Victoria V.C. Chelsea Green.
02:40I'm sure, I'm still not sure why Chelsea Green thinks that she should be
02:46representing in Paris.
02:49Why do you not understand why Chelsea Green would want to represent
02:53WWE in Paris?
02:54No, she says that she earned an opportunity to be there, she didn't.
02:57Stephanie Vaccaro won the Battle Royal.
02:59If you're talking, you know, general popularity,
03:02multicultural appeal,
03:04I think there's a lot that Chelsea has to offer.
03:07You know, we're looking to do big business, Cole.
03:09It's the wrestling business.
03:11Well, here's an idea.
03:12Beat Nikki Bella tonight.
03:13Prove maybe that you belong.
03:15I just fear that perhaps poor Chelsea and her current state of mind
03:18is bitten off a little more than she can chew.
03:20She's starting fires with La Primera.
03:22She's starting fires with Nikki Bella.
03:24Could spell trouble.
03:26Well, she's never one to keep her mouth shut, that's for sure.
03:28Well, it's a good thing she's got the secret.
03:30Herb is watching her back.
03:31Well, the truth is Sami Zayn is her.
03:46Thanks to Karrion Kross and Braun Breaker out indefinitely.
03:49So here we go, Nikki Bella, one-on-one with Chelsea Green.
03:52Nikki's first matchup on Monday Night Raw in nearly seven years.
03:56Been an interesting 24 hours at the Battle Royal last night, Corey.
04:01Nikki Bella eliminated Chelsea Green, eliminated Alba Fire,
04:06and with the help of Stephanie Vaccaro, eliminated Piper Niven.
04:10So they all have a score to settle, I guess, with Nikki tonight.
04:14Yeah, those facts, unfortunately for Nikki, still fresh on the minds of Ms.
04:18Green and the secret Harvest.
04:20By the way, Cole, I was told by Alba earlier today that you are, in fact,
04:23forbidden from making, whoa, shoulders down, direct eye contact from here on out
04:28with Chelsea Green.
04:29Is that true?
04:30I've never tried to make eye contact with her.
04:32In fact, I can't stand her, but nonetheless.
04:35Oh!
04:36That's no way to treat a Hall of Famer.
04:39And Nikki Bella chasing Chelsea toward the corner.
04:42Listen, if Chelsea Green wants to make headlines, she wants to be-
04:45Oh, and a cheap shot!
04:46Everybody's lips, that's exactly how you treat a Hall of Famer.
04:50That's your girl!
04:51Chelsea Green told me that once upon a time she was inspired by Nikki Bella.
04:55A nice takedown by Nikki.
04:56She's looking forward to the chance of sending Nikki packing once and for all tonight.
04:59She's gonna be inspired tonight, I believe.
05:02A slap from Nikki, back to Chelsea, in a mocking salute.
05:06And Nikki now, a nice snap suplex by Nikki Bella.
05:12Nikki Bella, always a powerhouse.
05:14Chelsea taking a timeout.
05:16There's no timeouts, Chelsea, sorry.
05:18Shut up!
05:20The secret Hermes out here.
05:23Hey, hey, hey, hey!
05:26Doing her job, I guess.
05:27Interesting interview Nikki Bella did with the Today Show last week, talking about how this is the era of me.
05:37She's finally gonna do things for herself around here, wants her son Mateo to be able to see her perform.
05:42That's all well and good, might be downright inspiring to some, but the fact of the matter is, the game has changed.
05:47The landscape is extremely different than that, which Nikki backstabber years ago.
05:52The competition is tougher.
05:54Chelsea Green with a great backstabber is taking over as Nikki collapses to the floor.
06:01Chelsea, a former United States Women's Champion.
06:04Still hasn't gotten over the fact that she lost the title.
06:09Saw her earlier today, she said that I still have to refer to her as champ.
06:14I thought she said chump, but she said champ.
06:17If you say that a little bit louder, I guarantee you're gonna have Ms. Niven all over your case.
06:22And now Nikki Bella driven into the barricade by Chelsea Green, who has taken over.
06:31I thought the secret, Hervis, were supposed to be stoic and stuff like that, not laughing and making fun of the opponents.
06:38This is a new era of security, Carl.
06:40Oh, okay.
06:41Are you implying that Piper Niven and Alba Fire should be seen and not heard?
06:46Well, I thought maybe they went to the Jimmy Kelly School of Security.
06:50And nothing would get accomplished.
06:52Chelsea Green, down, face first goes Nikki.
06:56For the win, hook of the leg here and a kick out by Nikki Bella.
07:01The Secret Harvester more than just personal protection for Chelsea Green, they're great motivators.
07:06They take care of odds and ends in various tasks.
07:08Like what kind of odds and ends?
07:10Dry cleaning, driving.
07:12You want me to ask Piper if she actually picks up Chelsea's dry cleaning?
07:16I think you'd go for it.
07:17I can't be held responsible for how many teeth you have left at the end of the conversation.
07:21You're the one that brought it up.
07:22I'm just relaying information that's been relayed to me.
07:25And Nikki.
07:26I'm a conduit.
07:27Taken down again.
07:28You're in it.
07:29And now Chelsea continues to control Nikki Bella here.
07:34And Nikki chants for the WWE fans here in Birmingham, Alabama.
07:40Kinda like a press secretary.
07:42You?
07:43Yeah.
07:44Wish I had a podium.
07:46Maybe I could break the coal mine out of the warehouse.
07:49Can I have your attention please?
07:52And Chelsea now, she had her face bounced off the knee of Nikki Bella.
07:55Nikki looking to fight back into this.
07:57And I hate to be the one to bring up ring rust, but I had mentioned earlier just the fact that the competition is so much tougher these days in WWE than the WWE that Nikki Bella left.
08:06Again, no disrespect to any women of that time period.
08:09It's just the fact that the game changes, the game evolves.
08:12Yeah.
08:13The revolution into the evolution.
08:15Now Nikki Bella, who's a member of the first ever Evolution main event matchup.
08:21And think about this, when you're a veteran as celebrated as Nikki Bella is at WWE Hall of Famer, I would-
08:27Oh, wow.
08:28I'd be willing to bet most of the roster has studied Nikki.
08:31Great kick by Nikki.
08:32Is it enough?
08:33Chelsea kicks at it too.
08:34And I think the onus is on Nikki Bella to show the roster something new.
08:38Maybe something they haven't studied.
08:39Maybe not the greatest hits out of the Nikki Bella playbook.
08:42And Nikki's been training.
08:45She knows what she's getting into.
08:46Now with Chelsea up on her shoulders, Chelsea fighting back.
08:53Looking for a neck breaker perhaps.
08:55There it is.
08:56Chelsea into the cover for the win.
08:58One, two, three.
08:59Nikki kicks out at two.
09:01No!
09:02Piper Niven extremely upset at ringside.
09:05Take another look at this versus salute from Ms. Green into the neck breaker on Nikki Bella.
09:13Yeah, but Chelsea may be getting frustrated after Nikki continually kicks out here.
09:20And now, perhaps looking for the unprettier to put Nikki away.
09:25Nikki though, face first, Bella Buster!
09:28And Piper Niven drawing the attention of official Jessica Carr.
09:33Look at Alba, fire!
09:34Oh!
09:35Alba driven into the ring post.
09:37Piper knocked to the floor.
09:40Keep your eyes on Chelsea.
09:43Here it comes again!
09:45Roll up by Nikki, Chelsea rolls through.
09:48Nikki's got her.
09:51Can Nikki muscle up Chelsea?
09:53Trying to get her up, Chelsea not allowing it to happen.
09:55Great attempt to counter, to block.
09:59Now Nikki's got her up.
10:01Is it enough?
10:02Down goes Chelsea Green!
10:04The cover off the rack attack 2.0!
10:08Nikki with the win!
10:09Here is your winner, Nikki Bella!
10:14Now Piper Niven bulldozing through Nikki Bella.
10:23There was Nikki who put her hands on the Secret Harvest first.
10:30And now the Hall of Famer's gonna have to pay the price.
10:34They tried to get involved in the matchup and now the double team to Nikki Bella with that side slam by Piper Niven.
10:41The Secret Harvest destroying Nikki here.
10:51And a moral victory for Chelsea.
10:53No, no, no, no, no!
10:54The Dark Angel!
10:56While Primera, Stephanie Vakere is here!
11:00The winner of the Battle Royal!
11:03LaCare has her sights set on the Clash in Paris but looks all too eager to make a detour through the Secret Harvest!
11:13Ooh!
11:14LaCare cleaning house of Alba Fire and Piper Niven showing respect here tonight to the Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.
11:25Nikki successful tonight in a return to Monday Night Raw.
