00:00:00I don't know how many of those are microwaves?
00:00:03Naomi now can use the chain to her advantage.
00:00:08Trying to rearrange the facial features of Jade Cargill here.
00:00:13Joe completely legal, Bianca Belair getting in close really just to see if there is a submission
00:00:20for the power of the Storm battling out of this one.
00:00:25Jade Cargill saving herself there, being able to power out.
00:00:28And now it's Naomi sent to the center of the ring.
00:00:35Simply anticipated that the powers of Jade Cargill were beginning to fade.
00:00:40Big error there from Naomi.
00:00:42And boy, this has turned around in a hurry.
00:00:45And now Cargill wrapping her fist with that steel chain.
00:00:50Naomi went right into the right hand.
00:00:53Oh, there was no pull on that one at all.
00:00:56Just cleaning the cloth.
00:00:58Oh, Naomi!
00:00:59Jade Cargill just grabbed the camera from the cameraman and now...
00:01:04Gonna be up close and PERSONAL!
00:01:07Well, that's gonna be expensive to TKO.
00:01:09Those can go about 100 grand each.
00:01:16There goes your paycheck.
00:01:18And now Jade...
00:01:20Well, the flash can tossed onto the top of Naomi.
00:01:27And Jade now measuring Naomi...
00:01:29OH!
00:01:30And a big kick!
00:01:33Palm kick, bullseye.
00:01:34The one you can't see coming with a garbage can on your head, Naomi.
00:01:39And Naomi the grouch.
00:01:40Absorbing that with the...
00:01:42Face!
00:01:43Face!
00:01:44Face!
00:01:45Face!
00:01:46And now Jade Cargill with that...
00:01:47That toolbox that she's living...
00:01:49Lifted above her head!
00:01:50She's gonna try to...
00:01:51To cross Naomi here!
00:01:52And Naomi just drove out of harm's way!
00:01:53And Naomi just drove out of harm's way!
00:01:55Oh my God!
00:01:56That was from about 12 feet in the air!
00:01:58And you heard the thud when it landed!
00:01:59Back with tools!
00:02:00That would've crippled Naomi!
00:02:01That would've crippled Naomi!
00:02:02And now Cargill...
00:02:03Naomi drives her...
00:02:04Kidney first into the apron!
00:02:06And now Cargill sent right into our announce table!
00:02:10Got out of the way quick this time!
00:02:11We got nailed by...
00:02:12Cargill a few weeks ago!
00:02:14Not twice!
00:02:15It's been uh...
00:02:16Dangerous out here away the past couple of nights!
00:02:19Yes it has!
00:02:20Even Joe Test got caught up a few days ago!
00:02:23OH!
00:02:24Oh!
00:02:25Oh goodness!
00:02:26Right into a...
00:02:27A TV monitor that we have in front of our...
00:02:29Announce desk here!
00:02:30Calls in at the short circuit!
00:02:32Bianca Belair's gotta check on Jade!
00:02:35Stars coming out up there!
00:02:37Oh you can smell the...
00:02:41The smoke and almost burning Skinner hair here!
00:02:43I'm thinking of the Lord!
00:02:44I missed this football!
00:02:45Naomi!
00:02:46God!
00:02:47I'll be surprised if Jade Cargill didn't get electrocuted there!
00:02:51Which she may...
00:02:53May well have!
00:02:54Naomi now drags the...
00:02:56The table out from underneath the ring!
00:02:57Cargill has barely moved!
00:02:59Allowing Naomi to do what she wants!
00:03:02To set up the table!
00:03:03To use a...
00:03:04However she wants!
00:03:05Suppose you can't submit if you're unconscious!
00:03:07Belair taking a very close look at her...
00:03:10Former friend...
00:03:12Jade Cargill!
00:03:14You don't have to do this!
00:03:15You don't have to do this!
00:03:16You don't have to do this!
00:03:17You think you can stop all this right now?
00:03:18I can try to like this!
00:03:19You okay?
00:03:20You still want to do it?
00:03:21You want to be going?
00:03:22You want to be going?
00:03:23You want to be going?
00:03:24You want to be going?
00:03:25How is the concern of Bianca Belair to the well-being of Jade Cargill?
00:03:29Oh!
00:03:30And Naomi!
00:03:31Low enziguri there!
00:03:32Almost a basement enziguri to the back of the neck!
00:03:35And at this point clearly Naomi can slow things down to her own pace!
00:03:39Because there's nothing coming from her...
00:03:40Oh!
00:03:41Look at this!
00:03:42Using the legs of that table as a weapon!
00:03:44Driving it into the...
00:03:45The face and the eyes of Jade Cargill!
00:03:48Trying to disfigure the storm!
00:03:51What an emphatic statement that would be!
00:03:55If we beat your opponent, take an eyeball out in the process!
00:03:58And Naomi's laughing about it!
00:04:00Like she thinks that the...
00:04:02It's sick!
00:04:03It's no holds barred!
00:04:04Those are technically the rules!
00:04:06However distasteful it may be!
00:04:09Now Naomi!
00:04:10Sending Cargill to the apron!
00:04:13And this may be over pretty shortly!
00:04:16And Cargill it appears should not have signed up for this match up!
00:04:20Not with this opponent!
00:04:21Yeah!
00:04:22Dangerous!
00:04:25Naomi!
00:04:27What have you let yourself in for here Jade?
00:04:30Yeah!
00:04:31Something happened a couple of screws loose to Naomi as of late!
00:04:35You can't wipe the smirk off the face of Miss Moni in the back!
00:04:39Oh!
00:04:40Through the table goes Cargill!
00:04:44And now Naomi!
00:04:46Are you okay?
00:04:47Are you okay?
00:04:49Got to get Cargill back of the ring!
00:04:50Ring to try to pick up the victory!
00:04:52Naomi still...
00:04:54Shimmering after that loss at Wrestlemania!
00:04:56Not forgotten it!
00:04:57And still Naomi isn't done!
00:04:59I mean there's nothing coming back the way of offense from Jade Cargill!
00:05:04Oh!
00:05:05Glanted on the chair!
00:05:06Cover by Naomi!
00:05:07For the win!
00:05:08No holds barred!
00:05:09Kick out by Cargill!
00:05:11oh it was a sluggish kick out by jay cargill i'm astounded there was a kick out at all
00:05:17but that tank is running dry for the storm here this was the moment through the slam gym table
00:05:24when jay cargill the body battered and broken tonight by a woman who has been completely
00:05:31dominant on hinge demented sadistic you know we mentioned earlier that cargill's got the title
00:05:37opportunity of summer slam already three weeks away but you have to wonder what a loss and no
00:05:43holds barred you were bitter enemy naomi would do to her psyche heading into that match we've got
00:05:48the psyche i'm more concerned about the body three weeks to recover is not much after this kind of
00:05:54abuse and naomi has just been punishing cargill and looking perhaps for the death blow here
00:06:01and it's as good as over for me right now and balai helpless to do anything because cargill just won't
00:06:09give up
00:06:13now with the chair placed on the body of cargill naomi gonna make her way up to the rope
00:06:19cargill over the chair to the spine recovery by cargill
00:06:25well this is crazy cargill this is crazy durability and what the hell from up there
00:06:36no way to break her in half
00:06:42through the table jayden through the table

00:07:27taking her eye off jay cargill and this one shot through the table jaded jay cargill proving
00:07:36she's as gutsy as they come she's unyielding as they come and may well be unbreakable

00:09:42A couple hours down the road on I-20 in Birmingham, Alabama.
00:09:45And a massive, massive matchup.
00:09:48It is a gauntlet match to determine who faces Gunther for the World Championship at SummerSlam.

00:10:07An opportunity to face Gunther SummerSlam.
00:10:10Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a Battle Royal in which the winner will receive a championship match at Clash in Paris.
00:10:32Introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona, WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella!
00:11:00Nikki Bella on the Today Show last week talked about returning to WWE.
00:11:07She said it's, quote, part of a new era for me.
00:11:11A piece of me I need to find, and I want to do that in the ring.
00:11:16Nikki Bella says she wants to prove something to herself now and not to everyone else.
00:11:23You're soaking up the adulation.
00:11:30Welcome back, Nikki Bella.
00:11:33Known this woman since the early days of Florida Championship Wrestling back in 2007.
00:11:41That she knew the unthinkable tonight and earned herself a world championship opportunity.
00:11:52A company by the secret purpose from Victoria B.C.
00:12:00From the three!
00:12:03Wayne, what's interesting about this is all three of these women are in this Battle Royal.
00:12:10Well, it has been a great day for Chelsea.
00:12:14At C, they just won the World Club Cup against Paris Saint-Germain.
00:12:19And can the woman that the team were named after, Chelsea Green alongside her, secret Hervis, go one better and get the job here tonight?
00:12:31I mean, you're right, goal three.
00:12:33Teaming up against the rest of the field.
00:12:35What happens?
00:12:36They have to have a major advantage.
00:12:37Yeah, but what if it comes down to these three?
00:12:39Do you think that Alba and Piper are actually going to allow Chelsea to win?
00:12:43Yeah, that's when you call Rang as the boss.
00:12:45That's how it works.
00:12:45You used to be my boss.
00:12:47You used to make me do all the donkey work.
00:12:49Not anymore.
00:12:50Things have changed, right, Michael Cole?
00:12:52We're equals now.
00:12:54And you pay the bar tab.
00:12:57That's the price you pay to hang out with Wade Barrett, okay?
00:13:00Entrance has continued for the Battle Royale.
00:13:21That won't take it, would you?
00:13:30Natalia!
00:13:48Maxine Dupree!
00:14:00Jayda Parker!
00:14:22Flash Legend!
00:14:31Lola Fights!
00:14:40Lola Fights!
00:14:44Lola Fights!
00:14:46Lola Fights!
00:14:48Yeah, I'm a lover, baby, baby
00:14:52I'm a lover, baby
00:14:54Woo-hoo!
00:15:04Selena Vega!
00:15:18Kilani Jordan!
00:15:46Tatum Huxley!
00:15:49And Easy Time!
00:16:14BeFab!
00:16:16Yeah, I knew it
00:16:18Knew you would be out with me
00:16:20Look the other way
00:16:21You're not being able to
00:16:23BeFab!
00:16:25Yeah!
00:16:26I am, I am, I am, I am the one in my heart.
00:16:30Meachin!
00:16:43Baby Nile!
00:16:46The ring filling up with WWE superstars for a battle royal in which the winner gets a world title opportunity
00:17:16and clash in Paris.
00:17:31From San Diego, California, Nia Jax!
00:17:37You know, way back in 2018, at the very first Evolution, Nia Jax won the Women's Battle Royal.
00:17:44Can she do it again tonight and earn a championship opportunity?
00:17:47I mean, she's automatically installed as my favorite.
00:17:51Too strong for the field, but add to that her body, the Poison Pixie, Candice LeRae apparently by her side.
00:17:59Candice LeRae, sometimes with DIY, hit tonight, realigning with Nia Jax.
00:18:05That has to be the pick.
00:18:06That's the woman the rest of the field needs to watch out for.
00:18:09And this one.
00:18:10From San Fernando, Chile!
00:18:35Stephanie McCare!
00:18:42You know, Wade, almost one year to the day, Stephanie McCare made her debut in WWE.
00:18:52And what a career she's had so far.
00:18:55NXT Women's Champion, NXT North American's Champion, only woman to hold those two titles at the same time.
00:19:01Of course, now a member of the Monday Night Raw roster and a golden opportunity here tonight to perhaps earn a world title opportunity.
00:19:08And you miss the most important part.
00:19:10A lot of woman's heads have gone bouncy, bouncy over the past 12 months.
00:19:15Thanks to Bakert, if that happens tonight, the root is coming off this place.
00:19:19The devil's kiss.
00:19:20Bouncy, bouncy.
00:19:21Well, that's what you call her.
00:19:30From Tokyo, Japan!
00:19:34She is the WWE Women's United State Champion!
00:19:43Julia!
00:19:44First on the scene around the same time as Stephanie McCare took over NXT, won the championship, now sees the United States Champion dominating Friday Night SmackDown.
00:19:54Julia is a joy to watch.
00:19:56She came into WWE with a huge global reputation well earned.
00:20:01That reputation seems to grow week by week, as does the trophy cabinet.
00:20:08We've got one right here, the United States Championship.
00:20:11You mentioned we could add to that very soon with victory here tonight.
00:20:16And progress through to Clash in Paris.
00:20:20Again, the rules of the Battle Royale.
00:20:23We go over the top rope, both feet hit the floor.
00:20:26You are eliminated.
00:20:27The last woman in the ring, or an opportunity, a world title, Clash, Paris, the end of August.
00:20:34We're looking at how the women have aligned themselves here.
00:20:37They seem to have aligned themselves with an NXT corner, the SmackDown corner, and there's a Raw corner.
00:20:44We may have three separate factions here.
00:20:47All for familiarity, of course.
00:20:49Friendships.
00:20:51And now we're underway, Battle Royale.
00:20:53Any type of strategy, Wade, for this type of thing?
00:20:55Keep away from Nia Jax and Tatum Paxley.
00:20:58And look at Nia Jax.
00:21:00You simply didn't get the memo in time.
00:21:03Nia eliminated Tatum Paxley.
00:21:05She's now eliminated Izzy Dame.
00:21:08Nia Jax, who holds elimination records in the women's Royal Wumble, is always dominant in these kind of events.
00:21:13Well, two NXT superstars thrown out earlier.
00:21:16Now, two other NXT superstars.
00:21:19Kalani Jordan and Jada Parker trying to team up against Nia Jax.
00:21:24Best leaving that to someone else, ladies.
00:21:27And Kalani Jordan now on the apron.
00:21:28Knocked into her.
00:21:30The NXT women, Izzy Dame and Tatum Paxley.
00:21:32Who were eliminated.
00:21:33Now, Jordan's feet have not touched the floor here.
00:21:35Technically, she is still legal.
00:21:38Yeah, she's on our announce table.
00:21:39I mean, you're kind of stuck on an island now, Kalani.
00:21:42It might be night over.
00:21:43Not sure if Kalani can make the jump to the apron.
00:21:45No chance, not without a run-up.
00:21:48Tremendous athlete.
00:21:49We know all about her from a North American champion.
00:21:53Trying to be creative there.
00:21:55At the barricade behind us.
00:21:56And Kalani trying to figure out what she needs to do here.
00:21:59This is why you need to study Kofi Kingston tapes ahead of this kind of matchup.
00:22:03Yeah, the way Kofi has survived the Royal Rumble over the years.
00:22:05Meanwhile, the Battle Royal continues inside the ring.
00:22:08Jada Parker.
00:22:09What a powerhouse she is.
00:22:10Have my eye on her.
00:22:11Oh, look at Kalani Jordan now.
00:22:12Kalani was a gymnast, remember.
00:22:15At Michigan State.
00:22:17And she's showing off now.
00:22:18Her feet haven't touched the floor.
00:22:20Kalani now.
00:22:21Feet under the bottom rope.
00:22:23Great core strength.
00:22:24Pulls herself back in.
00:22:27To the Battle Royal.
00:22:28What a performance by Kalani Jordan.
00:22:31Nice job, Kalani.
00:22:32The rare skill set and using it as a fault effect to stay alive.
00:22:36And now down goes Lola Vice.
00:22:38Man, it would be a huge shock if one of the NXT women pull this off.
00:22:43But my pick of them all has to be Lash Legend.
00:22:46She is going to the top in this industry.
00:22:49She's been superb at NXT.
00:22:53And you're getting a little taste of that right now, Ivy Nile.
00:22:55You're calling cameras out of here for our director, Lee.
00:22:58Great shot of Lash Legend in her power moments ago.
00:23:01And now Nia Jax, speaking of power, goes right after Lash Legend.
00:23:04Nia has been so dominating over the years.
00:23:07Tell you right now, powerful women do not like other powerful women.
00:23:11That's how it works in the game of WWE.
00:23:15And now Nia Jax is trying to sweep out Lash Legend before she gets any kind of momentum here.
00:23:20Now look at Stephanie Bacare with a headbutt to Ivy Nile in the corner.
00:23:31Chad Gable made a point before he went out with injury to tell Ivy Nile to take out Stephanie Bacare.
00:23:36And that appears to be what Ivy's trying to do here.
00:23:38Well, Nile is about as aggressive a superstar as I've ever seen.
00:23:41Pitbull by name, Pitbull by nature.
00:23:43But whoa, Lash Kershaw hanging there is about to get dragged out.
00:23:48Riva Kerr with that hardball.
00:23:49And look at Julie, a big smile on her face.
00:23:52The opportunity to eliminate Ivy Nile, and she does.
00:23:55Don't turn your back on Nikki Bella.
00:23:59Nikki Bella is in the main event of the first revolution.
00:24:03It's Ronda Rousey back in 2018.
00:24:06She returns to the scene tonight for an opportunity at a championship, perhaps.
00:24:10Gonna tap into those Hall of Fame credentials does Nikki Bella to try and get some momentum here.
00:24:16An interesting stare-off now between the United States Champion Julia and Stephanie Bacare.
00:24:20I told you about their relationship over the past year in WWE.
00:24:24Well, they do not like each other.
00:24:26Both billed as the future.
00:24:28Pretty much entered at the same time as you mentioned.
00:24:32And Stephanie now with a forearm to Julia.
00:24:34Exchanging blows in the middle of the ring.
00:24:40Heads butted by Julia.
00:24:42And by Bacare.
00:24:43So difficult with so many bodies fighting around you to try and get some space.
00:24:50Headbutts.
00:24:51Both women still on their feet.
00:24:53Scrambling.
00:24:53The brains have run another here.
00:24:55No one seemingly getting in that butt.
00:24:57Oh, nice suplex by Stephanie.
00:24:58That changed quickly, didn't it?
00:25:01And Nikki Bella now getting involved.
00:25:05Goes after Viquea.
00:25:11That's a Natalya in there.
00:25:13You're gonna get your wish, I think.
00:25:15Hope Booker T's watching.
00:25:18Went for the Devil's Kiss.
00:25:20And Chelsea Green breaking things up.
00:25:24I love Chelsea, but that was an error, Chelsea.
00:25:27Nobody wanted that.
00:25:30Trying to complete disrespect to Nikki Bella.
00:25:33Nikki now double-way takedown.
00:25:34Mounts and pounds.
00:25:36And now the secret Hervis for Chelsea Green get involved.
00:25:39And now a triple team on Nikki.
00:25:41The wow oil machine is the secret Hervis.
00:25:44Now we're gonna save Nikki Bella.
00:25:46Might need a little more oil after that one.
00:25:49And in Maxine.
00:25:50And bodies are dropping now.
00:25:54Hopes are fading for certain women here
00:25:56who cannot pick themselves up.
00:26:00Maxine Dupre.
00:26:02So much better than Otis' version.
00:26:04Much better.
00:26:06And now the elbow delivered.
00:26:08Maxine has been training in Natalya and Tyson Kidd's dungeon.
00:26:12Oh, I'm not sure what that was all about.
00:26:18Oh, no.
00:26:19Now Natalya gonna do one of her own.
00:26:21Don't put Natalya, you're a technician.
00:26:26Now Kalani Jordan going after the most winningest woman in the WWE, Natalya.
00:26:32Big discus clothesline there for Om Natalya.
00:26:35About to power out the young up-and-comer.
00:26:38And now from behind, Jada Parker eliminates Natalya.
00:26:43Two sides to Natalya.
00:26:46The helper and the decimator.
00:26:48And now Maxine upset over the fact that Jada Parker eliminated her mentor Natalya.
00:26:54And I would not bite many women in a slugfest against Jada Parker.
00:26:58This is one powerful woman.
00:27:00Getting it to your point.
00:27:04We're gonna just lift up and dump Maxine over the top rope.
00:27:07A real mean streak.
00:27:09There's Jada Parker.
00:27:11Off the apron and eliminated is Maxine.
00:27:15And now Jada Parker looking to eliminate Candice LeRae.
00:27:18It's a nice one, Jada Parker.
00:27:19You gotta pounce when you get the opportunity in this game.
00:27:22But that veteran wiles of Candice LeRae keeping her in this one.
00:27:26Jada Parker now knocks Michelle.
00:27:28Candice Michelle.
00:27:29Candice LeRae, you're doing it again.
00:27:32Always do that.
00:27:33It is evolution.
00:27:38She is gonna kill you.
00:27:39She was so upset.
00:27:40I knew.
00:27:40She told me that last time.
00:27:42And now look at Secret Herbis.
00:27:45Oh, the long back attack in stereo.
00:27:48He's having mission.
00:27:51Get up here.
00:27:54You're a disgrace.
00:27:55You know that, Michael Cole.
00:27:56Oh, and dumped out Jada Parker.
00:27:59Well, two on one is always gonna give you the advantage in this kind of game.
00:28:04A nice effort, though, from NXT's Jada Parker.
00:28:07But Kalani Jordan still in this one for the black and gold brand.
00:28:12Nia Jax.
00:28:13It's going too soon.
00:28:14No, I didn't.
00:28:15Lonnie up to the apron.
00:28:16And Candice Michelle, who was eliminated in the match.
00:28:19But again, no disqualifications.
00:28:21And Kalani Jordan has been eliminated.
00:28:24You said Candice LeRae, please.
00:28:26You said Candice LeRae, didn't you?
00:28:28I did.
00:28:28Candice LeRae.
00:28:29Look at my wits' end.
00:28:30Oh, nice from Lash.
00:28:31Legend dropping.
00:28:33Nia Jax.
00:28:34What a statement that is.
00:28:35And rolling out under the bottom rope.
00:28:39Whilst Nia Jax are technically, of course, not eliminated there.
00:28:44Referees got their eyes on that one.
00:28:46Zelina Vega looking for Code Red against Julia, the woman who took the United States Championship from her.
00:28:51Backslide now on the apron.
00:28:52The dangerous place to fight it out in a battle war.
00:28:54One slip and it's all over.
00:28:56Or one knee to the jaw.
00:28:58And it might be all over.
00:28:59But Vega hanging on here.
00:29:02What a great few weeks for Zelina Vega losing that United States Championship.
00:29:06That you mentioned.
00:29:07It might be about to get worse.
00:29:09Julia looking to put Zelina away.
00:29:11Zelina on the apron.
00:29:12Oh, bounce off the post.
00:29:13Julia trying to hang on.
00:29:15Bring it up by her fingertips.
00:29:17And Zelina Vega eliminates the United States Women's Champion.
00:29:20A little bit of payback for Ms. Vega there.
00:29:25Our anime aficionado.
00:29:29Set your heart ablaze, Zelina.
00:29:31And now B-Fab and Piper Niven going after each other.
00:29:37Nobody home is Piper.
00:29:39Heads into the corner.
00:29:40B-Fab now with a big kick.
00:29:42Uh-oh, Piper dumping B-Fab out of a match.
00:29:45And this is starting to get dangerous for all of the women in this matchup.
00:29:50Aside from Chelsea and the secret Hervis.
00:29:52Well, Meechan was eliminated on the other side of the ring.
00:29:55Meechan is out.
00:29:56She was eliminated.
00:29:57Meechan now trying to eliminate Chelsea Green.
00:29:59Alba Fire just sacrificed herself.
00:30:02No, no, no.
00:30:03She went through the middle row.
00:30:05But Alba Fire is still legal.
00:30:07Exactly right.
00:30:08Saving the head.
00:30:11Chelsea Green.
00:30:12That was a great move by Alba Fire.
00:30:15Saving Chelsea Green.
00:30:16Did not go over the top rope.
00:30:18Plays you to know the rules of this kind of match.
00:30:20And use them to your advantage.
00:30:22That's exactly what Alba Fire did there.
00:30:24Tough in the heat of the battle.
00:30:26Oh, what a showdown this is.
00:30:29Yeah, Lash Legend and Zelina Vega.
00:30:31Huge size differential.
00:30:32Like a bumblebee against the Rhino.
00:30:34And the Rhino is winning.
00:30:36Lash trying to eliminate Zelina Vega.
00:30:38Zelina now, though.
00:30:39Trying to turn the tables.
00:30:41Lash in trouble.
00:30:41Trying to hang on.
00:30:43Lash is just too strong.
00:30:45What a perfectly built athlete.
00:30:47Lash Legend is.
00:30:49The WNBA standout.
00:30:53Pressing Zelina Vega.
00:30:55And Zelina is eliminated.
00:31:01Now Piper and Chelsea working together.
00:31:03Going after Lash Legend.
00:31:04As the field begins to thin out.
00:31:06Yeah, this is when you really start targeting the biggest threats in the matchup.
00:31:10And clearly that threat at this moment in time is Lash Legend for my money.
00:31:15Chelsea in her secret.
00:31:17Salute.
00:31:18Stand up and salute.
00:31:19For what?
00:31:20Oh, it's from behind.
00:31:21Alba fired up down by Nikki Bella.
00:31:24You never attack somebody who is saluting Chelsea Green.
00:31:28That was a cheap shot by Nikki Bella.
00:31:32Watch and learn.
00:31:34Watch and learn.
00:31:35You accept that.
00:31:36Chelsea Green saying watch and learn as she mocks Nikki Bella now.
00:31:41Watch and learn.
00:31:43Nikki used to do that.
00:31:44So does Lola Vance currently.
00:31:46And this year she did not take it kindly.
00:31:50And now Chelsea Green with her up on her shoulders.
00:31:54And now Chelsea Green doing squats.
00:31:56Well, watch out.
00:31:57Oh, and a spear by Nikki.
00:32:08There you go.
00:32:09Get in there, Cole.
00:32:10Show them what you can do.
00:32:11Shake those hips.
00:32:12You do it in the bar often enough.
00:32:14My hips don't look like that.
00:32:15As Piper Niven blasts through Nikki Bella and Lola Vance.
00:32:18Well, hips don't lie, do they, Michael Cole?
00:32:21Well, and neither does Piper Niven when she says she's going to get in that ring and cause some chaos.
00:32:25The powerhouse.
00:32:26No device on the apron trying to hang on to this matchup.
00:32:29Lola's got those MMA credentials.
00:32:31I don't know if I...
00:32:32Oh, and a headbutt lowers out.
00:32:34That is illegal in MMA, but not here in this back row.
00:32:37And now Stephanie and Nikki Bella looking to eliminate Piper Niven in the go.
00:32:41And now Chelsea Green is all along without the secret Hervis.
00:32:50And it's...
00:32:51Oh!
00:32:52Hold on.
00:32:54Hold on!
00:32:55Hold on!
00:32:57We are going bouncy, bouncy!
00:33:00It's the Devils cast by Stephanie McCarney!
00:33:07Who needs Bukity when you've got an entire arena?
00:33:11Doing it for you!
00:33:14Nikki Bella, Chelsea up top.
00:33:16Good night, Chelsea!
00:33:20And Chelsea Green eliminated!
00:33:25And Nia from behind.
00:33:27Nia who got knocked out of the ring under the bottom rope a little earlier.
00:33:31Yeah, that's more like it.
00:33:32Best one yet.
00:33:36Nia Jackson, taking the end of the corner.
00:33:38Oh, that's irate that she lost her championship earlier this year.
00:33:43Oh, great hurricanrana by Nikki Bella taking out Nia.
00:33:46Nikki looks great in the ring.
00:33:48Nikki looks absolutely fantastic.
00:33:50Has not missed a step, but can she get this one finished up?
00:33:53I don't think so.
00:33:54The way this is looking.
00:33:55On the apron now, Nikki trying to drag Nia Jax over the top rope.
00:33:57Not sure how this is going to work out, but maybe it will.
00:34:00Choke her out in the process.
00:34:01Whoa, whoa!
00:34:02Lash Legend eliminates Nikki Bella!
00:34:06Wasn't the woman she was aiming for!
00:34:09And we are down to three.
00:34:13Lash, Nia, Stephanie!
00:34:16And interesting enough, all three brands, NXT, long SmackDown,
00:34:22are represented in the final three of the Battle Royal.
00:34:26Oh, man.
00:34:27Pick a winner from here.
00:34:28How good is Lash Legend?
00:34:30Oh, look at Legend and the power!
00:34:31The power of Legend!
00:34:32Trying to eliminate Nia Jax!
00:34:34Oh, my God!
00:34:35Stephanie from behind as well!
00:34:37Nia on the apron!
00:34:39What a feat of strength there from Lash Legend,
00:34:41and now it's two on one!
00:34:43Lash Legend.
00:34:44Ooh.
00:34:45Stephanie McCarrie trying to eliminate Nia Jax.
00:34:47Who's trying to hang on?
00:34:49Who's trying to survive?
00:34:50Big kick by Legend!
00:34:52God, that was impressive from Lash.
00:34:53Can she finish the trail?
00:34:54They're using Stephanie McCarrie as a weapon.
00:34:56Nia's still hanging on!
00:34:59And now Jax is eliminated!
00:35:00And we're down to Stephanie and Lash!
00:35:03The favorite is out of here!
00:35:19Oh, and Lash with a big kick!
00:35:21You can hear the explosion in this place!
00:35:23Oh, those legs so long, so difficult to evade,
00:35:26and now the power of Lash Legend comes to the fore!
00:35:30One of these two women gonna earn a world title opportunity
00:35:33at Clash in Paris!
00:35:34Will it be McCarrie?
00:35:35Will it be Legend?
00:35:36Somebody could pick up the biggest winner of their career here tonight!
00:35:406-1-9 by McCarrie!
00:35:42Someone taking their career to new heights imminently!
00:35:45Stephanie's gotta get back to the ring, springboard off the top rope,
00:35:47caused by Lash Legend!
00:35:49The powerhouse Legend!
00:35:50Marching around the ring with Stephanie McCarrie!
00:35:53And Lash is the absolute best, isn't she?
00:35:56And now Stephanie over the top rope, Legend over the top rope as well!
00:36:01Legend got that grip strength, that wrist caught up there in the ropes!
00:36:05Yeah, trying to hang on here, both women on the apron!
00:36:07Lash is getting choked out by those legs though!
00:36:09Stephanie McCarrie doing what she can,
00:36:11on the apron now!
00:36:13Devil's kiss!
00:36:15To Legend!
00:36:16Wagener 11 at it!
00:36:22Stephanie McCarrie is going to Paris!
00:36:27Here is your winner!
00:36:31Stephanie McCarrie!
00:36:38Well, that was the greatest battle run I may have ever seen!
00:36:42And currently, Michael Cole is getting assaulted by Nia Jax.
00:36:46He's getting forced by the drink at ringside.
00:36:48But let's go take the attention away from Stephanie Bacar,
00:36:53who went bouncy, bouncy with that devil's kiss.
00:36:56At exactly the right moment against Lash Legend,
00:36:59who was phenomenal tonight.
00:37:02And I cannot wait till we see more of her on Raw and SmackDown.
00:37:05This is the moment Nikki Bella got booted out by Lash Legend
00:37:10just as she was working over Nia Jax.
00:37:12An incredible welcome to the big-time Lash Legend
00:37:17with this manoeuvre,
00:37:19ousting Nia Jax
00:37:21with a display of sheer power,
00:37:25assisted by Stephanie Bacar.
00:37:29And shortly, we will be down 2-2.
00:37:34It came down to Bacar and Legend.
00:37:36And on the devil's kiss, Stephanie Bacar
00:37:39punches her ticket
00:37:40to the biggest match of her career.
00:37:44And Clash in Paris.

00:42:46The Genies of the Sky and the Eradicator meet in the ring.
00:42:48Rhea Ripley looks to change the narrative of her history against EO Sky, who wants to
00:42:52continue her sheer dominance over Rhea.
00:42:54Two women with so much history, so many moments, and so many memories add to their story saga
00:42:59tonight.
00:42:59Rhea Ripley, EO Sky for the Women's World Championship is next.
00:43:03You've never defeated EO Sky in singles competition.
00:43:14Does that affect your psyche at all going into this match?
00:43:18Cover on Ripley!
00:43:22Sky wins!
00:43:26Over the Musou!
00:43:27Into the cover!
00:43:29EO's reign continues in NXT.
00:43:34EO Sky counter!
00:43:36EO Sky is the world champion!
00:43:44Over the Musou!
00:43:46Cover on Bel Air!
00:43:48EO Sky wins!
00:43:50Rhea Ripley has never defeated EO Sky in a one-on-one matchup.
00:43:55EO's always had my number every step of the way.
00:43:59Whether it was the Mae Young Classic 2, NXT, now for my Women's World Championship, that's
00:44:06always going to be on my mind.
00:44:08But I'm someone that likes to put this doubt into the fire that purely sets me alight.
00:44:14EO Sky is the most dominant woman within this company.
00:44:21Rhea Ripley is a genuine badass.
00:44:25How could you not be impressed?
00:44:28This is my division.
00:44:31Because mommy is always on top.
00:44:38Welcome to Monday Night Mommy!
00:44:44It was evolution just around the corner.
00:44:48I feel like I need to start getting my priorities straight.
00:44:56The Women's World Champion, EO Sky.
00:45:03You are wrong about one thing.
00:45:07You are not on top.
00:45:11Not without this.
00:45:14Nobody in this division can stop me.
00:45:17From world to stardom, to the top of the world!
00:45:23It's my era!
00:45:27One of the greatest in-ring competitors the Women's Division has ever seen.
00:45:31Nobody in this division will ever take this championship from your sky!
00:45:39I want to defend against the best!
00:45:46That means defending against Rhea Ripley!
00:45:55EO, I have nothing but respect for you.
00:45:59And if that is what you want, then I just want you to know that I'm going to stop at nothing to get this back.
00:46:08So at evolution, Rhea Ripley vs. EO Sky for the Women's World Championship.
00:46:18You're on.
00:46:20What a gutsy move by EO Sky, who will be the Women's World Champion.
00:46:26I am the real Women's World Champion.
00:46:32This is your fluorescent robe!
00:46:42This is your presentation!
00:46:43Here you go!
00:46:48ABV!
00:46:49ABV!
00:46:51ABV!
00:46:53ABV!
00:46:55ABV!
00:46:56So much has been made of one statistic.
00:47:12The fact that Rhea Ripley has never defeated EO Sky in her career.
00:47:18I had the opportunity to talk to Rhea Ripley this afternoon.
00:47:21I asked her about that.
00:47:22She looked me in the eyes and she said,
00:47:24Oh, guess what?
00:47:25I own it.
00:47:26That's on me.
00:47:27I haven't been able to get the job done against EO Sky.
00:47:30But I'm done talking about it.
00:47:31Tonight, I'm going to prove to the world why mommy is always on top.
00:47:39And those to me, Cole, are just hollow words until you get the job done.
00:47:44In your career, you came to favor fighting against certain superstars with certain styles.
00:47:52I always like taking on the smaller guys, the cruiserweights.
00:47:55I personally struggle against any of the guys who are bigger than me.
00:47:59Now, Ripley may well have found her own kryptonite in the form of EO Sky.
00:48:05And that top talk, the mantra, I think it belies the fact that Ripley in her head may well already feel defeated.
00:48:13She's never going to admit that publicly, but this, to Ripley, may be mission impossible.
00:48:20Rhea looking to win her fourth world championship.
00:48:29She competed at the very first Evolution in 2018 defending the NXT United Kingdom Championship.
00:48:35She's won tag titles and NXT titles in the Royal Rumble.
00:48:43But tonight would feel oh so good for the Eradicator.
00:48:47And Eiwe...
00:48:51God.
00:48:54Peace, God.
00:48:55Peace.
00:48:55Peace.
00:48:56Peace.
00:48:57Peace.
00:48:59Peace.
00:49:00The women's world champion, EO Sky.
00:49:27Remember what happened back in March.
00:49:30When EO Sky shocked everyone, taking the championship from Rhea Ripley, paving her way to Wrestlemania.
00:49:41Wrestlemania where she went on to defend that championship in a triple threat match against
00:49:47Belair and Rhea Ripley.
00:49:49And Rhea Ripley has always been of the opinion she never really got a fair shake in a one-on-one
00:49:55rematch for the gold against the woman who dethroned her, EO Sky.
00:50:00Well, that changes tonight.
00:50:01There can be no excuses after this evening's main event from Rhea Bloody Ripley.
00:50:08The genius of the sky.
00:50:13One of the greatest wrestlers on the planet today.
00:50:19Former Money in the Bank winner, a two-time world champion.
00:50:23A couple-time tag champ, NXT, NXT tag titles as well.
00:50:26Let's head up to Alicia Taylor.
00:50:36The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the Women's World Championship.
00:50:47Introducing first, the challenger from Adelaide, South Australia, Rhea Ripley.
00:51:11And her opponent, from Tokyo, Japan, she is the women's world champion, EO Sky.
00:51:38It is the main event tonight of the second-ever WWE Evolution, the all-women's premium live event that is loud since the start tonight.
00:51:54Tiffany Stratton, earlier on, defending the WWE Women's Championship against Trish Stratus.
00:52:02And what was Trish's first singles match for a title in 18 years?
00:52:06And now, EO Sky defends the women's world title against Rhea Bloody Ripley.
00:52:14Official Jessica Carr will work this match up, and we are underway.
00:52:17Wade, let's talk about the strategy in this, especially for Rhea Ripley, who's never beaten EO Sky.
00:52:22That's in her mind.
00:52:23It's in her—it's going to affect her mentally, perhaps.
00:52:25How does she get it out of her head?
00:52:27With that Ted Lasso quote, be a goldfish, you've simply got to forget the past, if possible.
00:52:33Block it out right now.
00:52:35Realize you are in there with a human being.
00:52:37This is not kryptonite.
00:52:39You are the dominator.
00:52:41And you have to reinforce that now against EO Sky.
00:52:44EO Sky wants to create space.
00:52:46Stay away from Rhea Ripley.
00:52:47Allow her speed and agility and her high-flying maneuvers to take over.
00:52:51Rhea Ripley, you want to wear EO Sky down.
00:52:54Use your power.
00:52:55Take her out of her game.
00:52:56For me, this is the two best female wrestlers on planet Earth in 2025.
00:53:03Highly appropriate that we're closing out this incredible PLE with these two, battling it out for the gold.
00:53:10The question remains, though, who is one and who is two?
00:53:14You know, a lot was made back in that night of champions that Rhea Ripley needed a win over Raquel Rodriguez in that street fight.
00:53:23It was a must-win.
00:53:24Rhea covering a kick-out.
00:53:25And she did.
00:53:26She did the job.
00:53:26She picked up the victory.
00:53:27This is a must-win tonight, I believe, for Rhea Ripley.
00:53:30Yeah, and that match-up against Raquel at night of champions was a major momentum builder.
00:53:36And this really is a momentum game.
00:53:38You start to believe it.
00:53:39Cover.
00:53:39A little differently when you rack up those W's that you've historically,
00:53:44perhaps struggled with.
00:53:45Snap there, and Io lands on her feet.
00:53:48And the mocking, the mind games getting right in the head of Rhea Ripley.
00:53:52Yeah, Rhea, that one normally works, doesn't it?
00:53:55Not tonight, not against me.
00:54:01Healthy show of respect.
00:54:02Remember, it was Io Sky who chose to defend her title at Evolution against Rhea Ripley.
00:54:08Said she wanted to face the best in the world.
00:54:10I'm sure the fact that she hasn't lost to Rhea probably figured into that as well.
00:54:13Yeah, I don't believe a word of that from Io Sky.
00:54:16She wanted to beat a woman who she truly believes cannot beat her.
00:54:20And that woman is Rhea Ripley.
00:54:21What a statement it would be to pull out yet another win against the Eradicator.
00:54:27Io with a leapfrog up over the top.
00:54:29Rhea Ripley able to fly through.
00:54:31Tells Io Sky, bring it.
00:54:33Io went for the sunset flip.
00:54:34Rhea able to hold on.
00:54:36And now looking over, the power, the women's world champions who sends her into the king.
00:54:42None of this is surprising to Io Sky.
00:54:45She's tasted the power of Ripley before, but important that she knows how to neutralize it.
00:54:49Yeah, Io realizes that she's stuck in the corner there, trying to make her way out.
00:54:53Io Ripley said, hey, I had you.
00:54:54Now she's the one playing mind games.
00:54:58The chess game in the early going.
00:55:13You already know this, okay?
00:55:16I respect you.
00:55:19I respect you too.
00:55:21Good.
00:55:23So let's fight.
00:55:27Respect goes out the window when the fight starts, right?
00:55:30Nobody came here for a show of respect.
00:55:32We came here for a bloodbath between two of the greatest on the planet.
00:55:36Io got caught going up over the top, but she was able to recover.
00:55:39Now we're heading that way.
00:55:41Io Sky.
00:55:42Oh, Io Ripley.
00:55:44Oh!
00:55:45Ran into the dropkick that time.
00:55:47Heaviest shot so far in the match, and it comes from Io Sky.
00:55:54And that again gets in the head of Ripley.
00:55:56Champions advantage too for Io.
00:55:58It's got to be Pinter submitted to lose the title.
00:56:00Tonight!
00:56:00Went for a suicide dive, and Io caught her with a forearm.
00:56:03And now Io Ripley in control.
00:56:05That is what you call a retort from Mami.
00:56:09Io Sky does not want to be in this predicament.
00:56:11Lands on the apron.
00:56:13Kick back to Ripley.
00:56:16Io Sky better than anyone at keep an opponent's.
00:56:19Oh!
00:56:22Moonsault takes out Rhea!
00:56:23I'll tell you right now, Io Sky, one of the most reckless superstars I have ever watched.
00:56:30Mainly reckless, with her own body.
00:56:33But the broke here, and Mami had the answer, but quickly coming up with a proud B.
00:56:39Io Sky taking flight with a major sting to Rhea Ripley.
00:56:44Rhea sent back into the ring, Io Sky now on the attack, realizes she's in control.
00:56:48Sky now top rope, Rhea not sure where she's at.
00:56:51Io Sky, look at that, double knees, turns it in, to a pinning combination and a kick out.
00:56:57And now getting Rhea Ripley all tied up.
00:57:01Cannot see where the next attack is coming from.
00:57:04And Ripley's game plan just hasn't worked so far.
00:57:08And again, Io Sky able to wrestle Rhea Ripley down to the mat, a new crossface here.
00:57:12And again, it's Io Sky with the upper hand, and Rhea Ripley just isn't used to that.
00:57:18She's being out-wrestled, out-maneuvered, out-thought.
00:57:22Wait, did you ever have anyone in your career that you just could not beat, that always had your number?
00:57:26Yeah, anyone with a pulse, pretty much, as I recall, correct?
00:57:29I think Sheamus knocked my block off more than one occasion, so I'll probably say him.
00:57:34Boom!
00:57:35This is just a...
00:57:36Io bouncing Rhea off the apron, and the world champion control!
00:57:40Oh, and Rhea Ripley at this point in the match, and it's still, technically, the early goings,
00:57:46looks like a mannequin getting rag-dolled around at will by the champ, Io Sky.
00:57:52Io Sky just has Rhea Ripley's number, there's no doubt about it.
00:57:56The one opponent that Rhea just cannot solve the puzzle of.
00:58:00Rhea on the apron now.
00:58:05And now Io Sky, caught by Rhea Ripley.
00:58:08Rhea Ripley, lifted with one hand, but again, Io Sky gets out of there.
00:58:12And now, both women fighting on the apron.
00:58:16At a physical contest, expected it this way.
00:58:20Oh, and a knee!
00:58:21What a thunderous knee by Ripley!
00:58:25And now Rhea sending Io into the announce table, face first!
00:58:29Oh, this is a hard announce table, this is a rare announce table we used, that is solid
00:58:34metal on the corner, this ain't wood anymore.
00:58:37On the jaw of Io Sky went flush into it.
00:58:41And Rhea realizing that she can't win via countout, broke the count, went back out to get the champ.
00:58:47Well, you finally got the upper hand, Rhea, you've gotta make it count.
00:58:51Io's living into the barricade, hard!
00:58:54That is one way to put an exclamation point on the damage you are now doing to the champ!
00:59:00Yeah, Sky bounced off the steps and suddenly Rhea Ripley's in control.
00:59:03Soaking up that early pressure, was the eradicator.
00:59:07Perhaps Io Sky got a little ahead of herself, there was a big smile on Io Sky's face for the opening
00:59:14five or six minutes of this one, where that smile has been wiped away.
00:59:18And Mami is back!
00:59:22Mami chants here at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
00:59:26Rhea Ripley now, showing off of power as she lifts Sky up and delivers an end of the spine.
00:59:31A backbreaker.
00:59:33Laser focus now is Rhea Ripley on doubling down on every attack.
00:59:40And dropping Sky on the top rope, focusing it on the core.
00:59:44Rhea, cover.
00:59:45Hooks the leg, forcing Edo to kick out.
00:59:49Still deciding if the focus is on the core or the face or the arm.
00:59:54It's been a full body attack really from Rhea Ripley and now once again going back to that midsection.
00:59:59That could be the strategy for Ripley, whatever she's been cooking off in the build-up to this one.
01:00:06My sources are telling me that Yoshitatsu had you numbered when you were wrestling as Rhea Ripley now.
01:00:14How do we like that? I love the tats, but I don't think he ever beat me.
01:00:18He continues to control EO Sky's center of the ring for the Women's World Championship and our main event at Evolution.
01:00:25EO Sky, great penny combination.
01:00:27Wise move by the veteran Sky.
01:00:29But Rhea Ripley with a drop kick right to the face.
01:00:33Cover!
01:00:34EO has to kick it too.
01:00:37EO's hurting now and that look in the eye of Rhea Ripley is the cogs turning.
01:00:42Oh God.
01:00:43And Rhea getting frustrated now.
01:00:45That almost hit us.
01:00:46Look at that thing.
01:00:47And again, she's frustrated, Rhea.
01:00:49Not being able to put EO Sky away.
01:00:51Will take your frustrations out on your opponent and she may well be about to do that.
01:00:56Trying to do this now and emerging an abdominal stretch here.
01:00:59Remember, working the core of the world champion EO Sky.
01:01:02There was a scream that was emitted from the lungs of EO Sky that I haven't heard from her in a long time.
01:01:15Rhea punishing the world champ.
01:01:19Got to roar from EO Sky.
01:01:21It's going to be an agony at this point.
01:01:24We're back to her feet.
01:01:27Left hands to Rhea.
01:01:28Rhea with a light of her own.
01:01:29EO doubled over in pain as Rhea has taken over now.
01:01:34EO Sky now trying to build a little momentum.
01:01:37Comes underneath the clothesline.
01:01:39EO Sky.
01:01:40DDT!
01:01:41Spiked on the top of Rhea Ripley's head.
01:01:46And just when you thought EO was down and out, she rallies.
01:01:50Yeah, EO really needed this and been under the cusp for several minutes but pull out this.
01:01:56Little bit of daylight.
01:01:59Don't celebrate too soon.
01:02:01Collapsing immediately after both women down.
01:02:08Turning point in this match, perhaps.
01:02:11EO the champion, Rhea the challenger.
01:02:13A great rivalry, but a lopsided one.
01:02:21Rhea hopes to turn the tables tonight.
01:02:35Rhea blocks it now.
01:02:36EO unloading with the right hands to Rhea Ripley.
01:02:37Look at EO go.
01:02:43Uh-oh, Rhea said, oh, interception.
01:02:45Oh, face first goes Ripley.
01:02:47Stumped in the midsection.
01:02:49Ripley tried to tuck and roll through that but ended up eating it.
01:02:53Perhaps.
01:02:55Collarbone first, perhaps.
01:02:56Face first, regardless.
01:02:58She is wobbled now.
01:03:00And the champ taking over again.
01:03:01EO Sky with a...
01:03:03And Ripley is really rocked here now.
01:03:08Talk about a package of dynamite.
01:03:10Well, I'm looking in the eyes of Ripley.
01:03:11The world champ.
01:03:12On the outside, she has no clue where she's at.
01:03:15And EO Sky is about...
01:03:17To pick up a head of Steve.
01:03:19EO now, suicide dog takes out Ripley right in front of us.
01:03:24Ripley looking like jelly on the outside.
01:03:26And now EO heading back up to the top rope.
01:03:33Rhea Ripley on spaghetti legs here.
01:03:36EO Sky, this is rock kick.
01:03:38Down goes Rhea.
01:03:39What a bullseye.
01:03:41And that is the last thing you ever want to see.
01:03:45This deep into a matchup.
01:03:47EO Sky laughing off the pain.
01:03:51And firing up the WWE fans here in Atlanta.
01:03:55Here's your kryptonite, Rhea Ripley.
01:04:00EO Sky, bullet train attack.
01:04:03Sky just looks fresh as a daisy.
01:04:06Cover to retain.
01:04:07One, two.
01:04:08Kick out by Rhea, two.
01:04:11What an assertive few moments there from EO Sky.
01:04:16Take a look back at this suicide dive.
01:04:20But Rhea Ripley, who was all over the place on the outside.
01:04:24And it got even worse once she was thrown back in the ring.
01:04:30What a physical matchup.
01:04:32The longer this goes, the more toll it takes on these women's bodies.
01:04:37Well, the truth is, these two women, the only way they're going to be pinned or submitted is by absorbing a major physical toll.
01:04:45EO could be looking for over the moonsault.
01:04:47Rhea Ripley, though, going to meet her on the top rope.
01:04:50Rhea Ripley.
01:04:51EO lands at her feet.
01:04:52Rhea dropped on the back of her head.
01:04:55And again, that is heart-saving.
01:04:57Nobody home.
01:04:58Ripley with an opening.
01:05:00And a clubbing blow to the spine.
01:05:02Well, that was a heavy shot from Ripley.
01:05:04And what is she cooking up here?
01:05:07Oh, it all bounced.
01:05:08Next first off, the turnbuckle was at the back.
01:05:11Nonetheless, it was dangerous and effective.
01:05:14But again, once that flurry from Rhea Ripley was absorbed by the champ, immediately biting back was EO Sky.
01:05:23It must be so demoralizing for Rhea Ripley.
01:05:27Your best shots are seemingly bouncing off EO Sky.
01:05:31Yeah, EO never say die as Rhea Ripley drops to the knee to counter and block.
01:05:35And now with EO Sky.
01:05:37Lands at her feet.
01:05:38Off the body drop.
01:05:40And now EO.
01:05:41Jote up-a-cut after up-a-cut after up-a-cut.
01:05:45Oh, and a kick by Rhea.
01:05:47Now Rhea Ripley has stopped to the foot.
01:05:50Face first off the knee.
01:05:53Went for a DDT.
01:05:57Ripley able to counter.
01:05:59Used the power to her advantage.
01:06:01Went for a vertical suplex.
01:06:02EO Sky drops behind.
01:06:05Oh, and an elbow caught her.
01:06:07Never seen a woman with so many counters as EO Sky...
01:06:10Oh, my goodness!
01:06:13Oh, God, a poisoned Rana to Rhea Ripley, who may be out cold.
01:06:20And Rhea somehow kicks out at two.
01:06:22As EO is looking to retain.
01:06:24Poison Rana.
01:06:26Such a difficult move to pull up.
01:06:28And a flash.
01:06:29That is why EO Sky may welcome herself eminently as the greatest wrestler on planet Earth.
01:06:39I'm not arguing with you.
01:06:41It has been a hell of a night at Evolution here in Atlanta.
01:06:45At our main event, Rhea Ripley, EO Sky going toe-to-toe for the Women's World Championship in Supremacy on Monday Night Raw.
01:06:53Oh, I can just feel the adrenaline in this arena.
01:06:58They're witnessing something very special.
01:07:00And it looks like Ripley is close to getting caught for the sword, or is it?
01:07:06EO Sky once again, trying to go to the sky.
01:07:13Well, she's at her most devastating, and of course, Rhea Ripley knows that as well as anybody.
01:07:18Yeah, trying to play defense again.
01:07:21Sky now up to the top rope.
01:07:22That's what she can do here.
01:07:23EO's close to the corner.
01:07:24And now Rhea Ripley does sky to the top turnbuckle.
01:07:28There was a wobble this deep in the matchup, and Ripley wasn't going to hesitate.
01:07:33Razor's edge!
01:07:36Little trick from her body.
01:07:38Damian Priest!
01:07:39And now Powerbomb!
01:07:42EO's still in it!
01:07:48Take another look at this territory.
01:07:51Damian Priest, very impressed with that one.
01:07:55And this was perhaps even more impressive.
01:07:57Deadless sit-out Powerbomb.
01:08:00But save the most impressive car for that kick-out from EO Sky.
01:08:04And Rhea Ripley again getting frustrated.
01:08:06Could not believe that was just a two-count.
01:08:08As she questions the official Jessica Carr.
01:08:10Look at the look on the face of Rhea Ripley.
01:08:12How many times have you seen that look of disbelief?
01:08:14Of almost like, I don't know if I can do this in the eyes of Rhea.
01:08:18It's doubt in the mind of Ripley that has existed all along because of EO Sky.
01:08:23Hook at EO now!
01:08:24Look at him in the rip-tide!
01:08:26EO Sky able to catch her in a sleeper!
01:08:30Rhea backing EO into the corner, trying to break their sleeper hole.
01:08:34Finally done!
01:08:35Spine her way out of that.
01:08:36This deep in the match.
01:08:37It's the last thing you need is your neck and throat compressed.
01:08:40You're already gasping for oxygen.
01:08:45What a haymaker to the jaw there.
01:08:47What a match.
01:08:49Physical as it can be.
01:08:50Wouldn't expect anything less out of these two.
01:08:59What's Rhea going to do here?
01:09:02You can do whatever she wants.
01:09:04There is no resistance.
01:09:05Oh, God!
01:09:06Looked like for a superplex.
01:09:07EO Sky able to shift her balance.
01:09:09Watch the hair now!
01:09:10Watch the hair!
01:09:11Come on, foot!
01:09:11Land on the apron.
01:09:12The official Jessica Carr saying, watch the hair.
01:09:15Great wriggle from EO Sky at the right moment.
01:09:18Just put Rhea Ripley off balance.
01:09:21What a way out of trouble.
01:09:24EO top.
01:09:24Oh, no!
01:09:27Rhea ducked out of harm's way.
01:09:29EO inadvertently hit their official.
01:09:31Jessica Carr has been knocked out of the ring.
01:09:33Oh, Jessica Carr is in agony on the outside.
01:09:36And a headbutt!
01:09:37A headbutt!
01:09:38Rhea Ripley now with a riptide to Sky!
01:09:41One, two, three!
01:09:44Rhea Ripley has Sky pinned, but there's no official!
01:09:47Rhea Ripley has Sky pinned, but there's no official!
01:09:49The referee was taken out of this match.
01:09:53Rhea Ripley had the damn match won, but there was no official to count.
01:09:58Well, this must feel like a curse to Rhea Ripley.
01:10:03You can't win with the referee in the ring.
01:10:07You can't win with the referee out of the ring.
01:10:09But for all intents and purposes, this one should have been over.
01:10:13Yeah, Rhea Ripley should be the women's world champion now.
01:10:16Rhea Ripley angry, frustrated.
01:10:21I believe she's about to take that frustration out on EO Sky.
01:10:24Well, keep stacking that offense.
01:10:26You have to keep EO Sky down.
01:10:28Eventually, we're either going to get a new ref or Jessica Carr might recover, but this is spilling out all over the place here.
01:10:36Yeah, another race is edge, and then the kick drives EO Sky into the front row here in Atlanta.
01:10:43Well, normally, you'd be worried about a counter at this point, but I guess that's not happening right now anyway.
01:10:48Yeah, who the hell's going to count?
01:10:49Ripley and Sky fighting into the WWE Universe here at State Farm Arena.
01:10:58And Rhea Ripley, understandably, has now completely lost it.
01:11:02Yeah, she should be the women's world champion.
01:11:04This is all frustration now, coming out, oozing out of the pores of Rhea Ripley.
01:11:08She finally had EO Sky beaten, but there's no official to make the count.
01:11:17And now Rhea Ripley unloading on the champion.
01:11:20And a haircut.
01:11:21Oh, God, you heard that.
01:11:22I'm not quite sure what Rhea Ripley is capable of.
01:11:34Rhea Ripley needs to get it together and fast.
01:11:37In the state of mind that she is in right now.
01:11:40This match is still ongoing, of course.
01:11:43There's no official, there's nobody to count.
01:11:45It's getting damn ugly.
01:11:46Now in the equipment cases over there in the corner of this arena.
01:11:55Rhea Ripley with EO Sky up top.
01:11:58EO Sky trying to shift her weight.
01:12:00Rhea Ripley with the power.
01:12:01EO trying to hang on up from up there.
01:12:03Playing it on by the fingertips just in the nick of time,
01:12:07because that was going to be nasty as hell.
01:12:10Rhea collapsed into the floor.
01:12:13EO Sky collapsed in as well.
01:12:15Oh, God, it's been a physical and a tasking matchup.
01:12:20Oh, no.
01:12:22Come on, what's EO thinking?
01:12:27Oh, no.
01:12:29Don't do it, EO.
01:12:31EO climbing up high.
01:12:35Never more comfortable than when in the air.
01:12:39The genius in the sky with Ripley in trouble.
01:12:44The highest risk superstar of them all.
01:12:47EO with a cross body.
01:12:49EO and Rhea are down.
01:12:52EO to be 20 feet down.
01:12:56And both women are down.
01:12:58Oh, God, putting her body on the line upon that landing,
01:13:10EO Sky screaming in agony.
01:13:14And I think Rhea Ripley incapable of screaming in agony.
01:13:20Well, this is swung once again.
01:13:23And now we have Sky back at her feet.
01:13:25Trying to drag Rhea Ripley around the arena and continue the punishment.
01:13:29Again, our official Jessica Carr was taken out by a missile dropkick
01:13:32moments ago when it's still out of the matchup.
01:13:34The match continues.
01:13:35Two women knocking the hell out of each other in pursuit of excellence,
01:13:41in pursuit of greatness, in pursuit of history.
01:13:46And again, this isn't last woman standing.
01:13:49It's not a no-holds-barred match.
01:13:50It's a traditional championship match.
01:13:53If the referee's down, it's technically legal.
01:13:56Rhea dumped back into the ringside area now.
01:14:00Rhea Sky, the world champ, who has put on a clinic tonight.
01:14:03Oh, Rhea Ripley, I've never seen looking like this before.
01:14:09A shadow of a former set.
01:14:11Oh, my God, not into the announce table.
01:14:13Oh, my goodness.
01:14:14EO Sky went ribs first into the corner of the announce table.
01:14:17That was those ribs that were worked over by Rhea Ripley earlier in the matchup.
01:14:21And Rhea dumping EO back into the ring, but Rhea's still down and out.
01:14:26Rhea gasping for air.
01:14:28Rhea has had her chest caved in by a flying EO Sky.
01:14:34Rhea Sky just had her ribs caved in by the side of our announce table.
01:14:38Referee had her ribs caved in, too.
01:14:40What a ribs getting caved in tonight, but the match continues.
01:14:43Rhea trying to drag herself up to the apron.
01:14:45EO Sky now meets her there, looking for a sunset flip-bomb.
01:14:49Rhea Ripley now.
01:14:50It's Rumble outside the ring.
01:14:51Power bomb.
01:14:52Oh, the tingles, the thunderbolts, shooting on the spine.
01:14:59This match has been absolutely incredible.
01:15:03EO Sky, Rhea Ripley putting it all on the line.
01:15:07Again, with Rhea Ripley in position.
01:15:09The genius in the sky.
01:15:12Looking to go up top.
01:15:13Looking to fly.
01:15:14The official's coming, too.
01:15:17EO Sky hits it.
01:15:19The over-the-moon salt.
01:15:21And Rhea kicked it, too.
01:15:22Rhea kicked it, too.
01:15:24Now it's EO Sky's turn.
01:15:26Now it's EO Sky's turn to say,
01:15:28What the hell will I do now?
01:15:33Holy hell.
01:15:37The over-the-moon salt.
01:15:38And for all intents and purposes, this was over.
01:15:43Like a truck had already hit Rhea Ripley.
01:15:47And then you hit your neutral at Birmingham.
01:15:51And Ripley kicks out.
01:16:02It is our main event for the Women's World Championship.
01:16:06It has been brutal.
01:16:08It has been a fight.
01:16:10It has been a classic Rhea Ripley, EO Sky.
01:16:14Panis and merciless.
01:16:17Two women putting in performances of extreme distinction.
01:16:22EO going to the top rope yet again.
01:16:24Genius to the sky as Rhea Ripley rolls out to the apron.
01:16:28Perhaps saving herself.
01:16:30Crushing blow there to EO Sky.
01:16:32Hopes fading for both women.
01:16:38Not quite sure what EO's trying to do here.
01:16:40Dragging Rhea back to her feet.
01:16:44Now trash-talking Rhea.
01:16:46And Ripley now with a smile on her face.
01:16:57Maybe she believes the momentum is starting to shift here, Wade.
01:17:01With EO Sky in trouble on the top rope, Rhea Ripley's gonna...
01:17:04Is gonna climb the ropes now.
01:17:07Ask Raquel Rodriguez all about this.
01:17:09Rhea Ripley tapping into something different tonight.
01:17:13And it needs it against this version of EO Sky.
01:17:16Tonight it's from the top rope.
01:17:19Rhea Ripley...
01:17:19Oh my goodness, man is fly!
01:17:25Both women are down.
01:17:28EO's out.
01:17:30Rhea's out.
01:17:31World title's on the line.
01:17:32It is a...
01:17:38Oh my God.
01:17:44Naomi.
01:17:45Naomi.
01:17:47Miss Money in the Bank.
01:17:49With a referee in time.
01:17:50Oh my God.
01:17:52Naomi.
01:17:53Who's involved in the whole sport match earlier tonight.
01:17:56Is coming down to the ring.
01:17:58With a contract.
01:17:59Yes!
01:17:59Ladies and gentlemen, Naomi is cashing in.
01:18:05Oh my God.
01:18:05I'm putting in the bank contract.
01:18:07This is now a triple threat match.
01:18:10And again, it's a triple threat match.
01:18:11And the women's out.
01:18:12Triple threat match.
01:18:13It's a triple threat match.
01:18:15Anything goes.
01:18:16She can use the briefcase as a weapon.
01:18:18There are no disfile locations under triple threat rules.
01:18:21Officially casted against two completely decimated women.
01:18:26Rhea Ripley.
01:18:28Off the post.
01:18:29Split-legged moonsault.
01:18:31Covered by Naomi.
01:18:33Naomi's the world champion.
01:18:35Holy cow.
01:18:36Naomi's the world champion.
01:18:39Here is your winner.
01:18:42The new women's world champion.
01:18:51Naomi.
01:18:52Naomi.
01:18:54Naomi.
01:18:56Wade.
01:18:57The entire world thought Naomi was focused on Tiffany Slatton.
01:19:02In the WWE Women's Championship.
01:19:05But tonight, she shocked everyone.
01:19:08It cashed in on EO Sky.
01:19:11For the women's world title.
01:19:12Oh, what an epic matchup between EO Sky and Rhea Ripley who took each other to hell and back.
01:19:23But earlier tonight, Naomi who lost that matchup, that no holds bar matchup with Jade Cargill.
01:19:30Well, she was likely to win and the gold is a change in hands here at Evolution.
01:19:38The Spanish fly let both men women down in the ring.
01:19:41And Naomi seized her opportunity.
01:19:44Miss Money in the Bank would rush down to the ring.
01:19:47Inside that briefcase, a contract that Naomi could cash in any time she wants for a world championship opportunity.
01:19:55And she chose tonight.
01:19:57Now, remember, this became a triple threat match.
01:19:59Which means you can use the briefcase.
01:20:01Because there are no disqualifications.
01:20:03Naomi dumps Rhea Ripley.
01:20:05Then she turns her attention to the champion.
01:20:07And a split-legged moonsault gives Naomi her third world championship.
01:20:15And Naomi is crazy sadistic.
01:20:20She's unhinged.
01:20:22But she's the champion.
01:20:24And Naomi, the timing could not have been better.
01:20:30Caution, caution, caution.
01:20:34Naomi rules the division as the women's world champion.
01:20:39And boy, oh boy, has the landscape ever changed from Monday Night Raw and WWE.
01:20:46After a hellacious battle between Io and Ripley, Naomi took advantage and wins the world championship.
01:20:58It's been a long time coming for Naomi.
01:21:02Once again, after many, many years, she's on top of the mountain as the women's world champion.
01:21:09She's on top of the mountain as the women's world champion.
01:21:39I'm coming for you.
01:21:49I'm coming for you.
01:21:57I'm coming for you.
01:21:59You better watch out
01:22:05You better watch out
01:22:10You better watch out
01:22:15Watch out
01:25:29And with that, we welcome you to the Evolution Post Show.
