00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Cody Rhodes shows off his newest accessory.
00:35Myself, the king of the ring.
00:38While a friendly foe comes out to cheer on the chaos.
00:41Promise me that you will go to SummerSlam and kick John Cena's ass.
00:47But not everyone is fawning over the king.
00:51You hang up, no, no, no, please, you hang up, I'll shut up.
00:55And Cody's not the only one veering into the chaos.
00:58He's afraid of the pressure.
01:04From Becky to Kyrie, Tiffany to Charlotte.
01:07Historic confrontations are happening right now, this week in WWE.
01:18Hello, everybody, and welcome on in to this week in WWE.
01:21It's me, Megan Moran, and we've got several events poised to light up your weekend,
01:26which means nothing but carnage across all brands.
01:29But before we can get into Evolution and Saturday night's main event,
01:32we've received the first royal proclamation from our new king of the ring, Cody Rhodes.
01:38The American Nightmares victory at Night of Champions not only secures him another accolade on his already long list,
01:45but it also has earned him a match at SummerSlam.
01:48And not just any match, a rematch for the undisputed WWE Championship against John Cena,
01:54a match that his opponent Randy Orton lost out on.
01:57But instead of being enraged, the Viper was congratulatory, encouraging Cody to wipe the floor with Cena in New Jersey.
02:05But not everyone was so excited about the prospect of Road Cena part two.
02:11You hang up.
02:16No, no, no, you hang up.
02:18You hang up.
02:19No, no, no, please.
02:20You hang up.
02:21I'll shut up.
02:22That's what you both sound like to me and it's pathetic.
02:25When did this beta male energy take over WWE?
02:33Thank God the Alpha has returned.
02:36Where to start?
02:45Randy.
02:49You know already why you lost, you hesitated on the punt.
02:53But you lost a psychological battle way before that.
02:58Cody here has been buttering you up for months.
03:03Talking about your past relationship, how much he respects you.
03:08Like a true politician, a big hug and a knife right in your back.
03:13Speaking of your back.
03:17His surgically repaired back.
03:23Hey Randy, you might want to keep listening.
03:25You remember United Champions when you tweaked that surgically repaired back?
03:30And somebody attacked it like a shark that smelled blood in the water.
03:36Yeah.
03:40He was relentless on that back.
03:42Non-stop.
03:44And then when you had the chance to punt him, you couldn't do it.
03:49What happened to you Randy?
03:53You were the Viper, the Legend Killer, the Apex Predator.
03:59A few years ago, you were punting the Hall of Famers in the head and
04:03I had to save them from the monster you were.
04:07As far as I'm concerned, the legend of Randy Orton is dead.
04:13And you, Super Cody, I want you to win at SummerSlam.
04:30I want Cody Rhodes to be the next WWE Champion.
04:35This is the match I want.
04:40This is as big as it gets.
04:42This is 20 years in the making, parallel careers, different destinations.
04:46I want you to have that title so I can be the one to rip it out of your hands.
04:56And I won't hesitate, unlike somebody.
05:02RKO, RKO, that's the Viper.
05:07That legend is in dead groove.
05:11That's the Randy Orton way, the uninhibited, vicious Viper Randy.
05:14Randy Orton, who heard enough.
05:28A return Drew McIntyre is up to his same old ways.
05:43And with his sights now set firmly on Randy Orton, the Viper cannot hesitate when Orton and McIntyre meet head on in Atlanta.
05:50That's great.
05:51It's unbelievable.
05:52It's unbelievable.
05:53I can't be kidding.
05:54Come on.
05:55Hey, who's winning, boys?
05:56What did you think?
05:57Tide game.
05:58Tide game.
05:59Tide game.
06:00Tide game.
06:01Tide game.
06:02Come on.
06:03Yo, what the hell is that?
06:05What?
06:06I made it for Dawn.
06:07Y'all, she's alive.
06:08She's been rehabbing every day.
06:09She's gonna be back real soon.
06:10Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
06:11You remember I hurt my shoulder?
06:12It took me eight months to recover.
06:14And I'm tough.
06:15But I think it's a nice picture.
06:16Yeah.
06:17You know what would be a good picture?
06:18A nice picture?
06:19Is if we retain those Women's Tag Team Championship titles at Evolution.
06:24And maybe if some chiquita does what she said she's gonna do and beats Kairi Sane tonight.
06:30I got you, partner.
06:32Too soon.
06:33All right.
06:50Well, that's the girl sorted.
06:51Have you been talking to Piers?
06:53You know what's coming down the line for us?
06:54I haven't heard a whisper.
06:57Well, his office is right down the hall there.
06:58Why don't we go down knocking his door?
07:00See what's rotten around that ball to the new hair?
07:02Co to się dzieje na to, że jest robione.
07:03JD jest będę bardzo ważna.
07:05Zakładaj się robiłem!
07:06Cał po 예쁜nej nam.
07:07Spójrz?
07:08Nieom boje, ale chcesz na to, żebyś nie na to,作 się, na katecie...
07:13Niezawistym tak?
07:16To nie?
07:18Niezawistym się.
07:20Niezawistym?
07:21To nie, bywa, witwa nasz Was?
07:25Do niej jest?
07:32I have a doctor's note AJ, you can't.
07:38I have a note.
07:43Number one contender, Triple Threat.
07:54Power once again from Piper Nibin.
07:58These two veteran Scottish women have truly dominated this match.
08:03So far, can they put it to bed?
08:05Double teaming on B-Fab, lining her up,
08:10have her locked in, up on the apron came Alexa Flair into the mix now.
08:16And it's a spear, Charlotte hits the spear right on Piper.
08:20Completely wiping out Piper Nibin with Alba fire down two, this could be good night.
08:26Walks over both of them.
08:29Lining up the moonsault potentially as Charlotte,
08:34and a dismissive pat on the head for Alexa Bliss.
08:39Sneering and loading it up.
08:41Look at the moonsault by Flair.
08:43Wait a second.
08:44She's not legal, I don't.
08:45The referee is indicating that power there was actually a tag to Alexa Bliss,
08:50who is now legal.
08:51Twisted Bliss, Alexa's legal.
08:54The pat on the head made her legal.
08:56Two, three.
08:57Charlotte unknowingly did that.
09:00Here are your winners, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Flair.
09:07Well, how conflicted is Charlotte Flair now?
09:15Wait a second.
09:16I don't have to like you, but if I can win with you and win gold with you,
09:22then I think we can get along.
09:24And these two are now going to get an opportunity at tag gold.
09:29From an unlikely pair to a formidable duo,
09:32Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair will represent SmackDown
09:34in the Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way Match
09:37and get their chance to bring home the gold when Evolution hits Atlanta,
09:42Sunday, July 13th.
09:46Charlotte Flair may not have been so keen on being a tag team with Alexa Bliss at first,
09:51but, you know, once you put gold into the mix, the queen is really game for anything.
09:56Only time will tell if Bliss and Flair can coexist,
09:58and the same can be said for the current tag team champions Raquel Rodriguez
10:02and her new partner Roxanne Perez.
10:05With Perez taking Liv Morgan's spot due to Liv's injury,
10:08Roxanne still has a lot to prove, not only to the Judgment Day as a whole,
10:12but to Raquel specifically.
10:14So, Roxanne decided the best way to start showcasing her allegiance to her new faction
10:19is by going one-on-one with Kairi Sane.
10:23Adrenaline pulsing through Kairi Sane.
10:26With one bad arm, nobody home.
10:28Roxanne now.
10:32Kairi Sane with the Alabama slam delivered.
10:35Roxanne's down.
10:36Kairi may have her where she wants her.
10:39Looking for the insane elbow.
10:43It is a sight to behold.
10:48Raquel Rodriguez coming to the aid of Roxanne.
10:53Maybe the official should do his job.
10:55Kick Raquel out of here.
10:57Kairi no!
10:58With a flying cross body will take out Raquel.
11:02Roxanne Perez quickly on the attack.
11:04Well, unfortunately for Kairi, attacking Raquel forced her to take her eye off the task at hand,
11:09that being Roxanne Perez.
11:11The numbers game, Cole.
11:13Kick down low.
11:14Roxanne looking for Pop Rocks.
11:16Counter by Kairi.
11:18Shoulders down, back slide.
11:19One, two, three.
11:20Kyrie got her!
11:21Kyrie got her!
11:22Kyrie got her!
11:23Here is your winner, Kyrie Sane!
11:31Nicole, I don't think I'm out of line by calling that a bit of a shocker.
11:34No one saw that coming.
11:36And Raquel Rodriguez from behind.
11:38Kyrie didn't see that coming.
11:40And now the double team by the Tag Team Champions.
11:44Nicole, the damage has been done.
11:45This can't help Roxanne standing within the Judgment Day, particularly with Raquel.
11:49Well, if they destroy Kyrie-
11:51Oh!
11:52It will.
11:53Big boot by Raquel Rodriguez.
11:56Yes!
12:01Back up for Kyrie.
12:03Her former Tag Team partner, Asuka, rushing to the ring.
12:09Asuka and Kyrie were part of the Kabuki Warriors.
12:12What a backhand by Asuka.
12:14Kick to the midsection.
12:15One of the most feared strikers in the game.
12:20The Empress of Tomorrow with a backhand to Roxanne.
12:24Raquel with a clothesline, drops Asuka.
12:27The powerhouse of the Judgment Day.
12:32No, and the Empress about to go for a ride.
12:37Raquel looking for the Tejana bomb.
12:40Kyrie Sane though.
12:43Asuka into the arm bar.
12:45And now Kyrie from behind, dumping Raquel over.
12:50A brilliant defensive double team by the former Kabuki Warriors.
12:55Here comes Asuka.
12:56Empress attack, Flores Rodriguez.
12:59And Roxanne trying to dump Kyrie Sane and Asuka now.
13:06We're gonna put Roxanne down for good.
13:10Set it her up for Kyrie.
13:14Top rope.
13:17It's an elbow.
13:22Welcome back to the Kabuki Warriors.
13:28Looking to get revenge against the Judgment Day?
13:33The Kabuki Warriors find their way into the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way Match at Evolution.
13:40With three other teams all out for championship gold, it seems that Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez will have their hands full in their first title defense in Atlanta.
13:49From San Fernando, Chile, Stephanie Vakia!
14:02Here for the brawl.
14:04We never retreated.
14:06Popping it up.
14:08They're gonna see.
14:10Taking them down.
14:12We came to defeat.
14:14Live for the beatdown.
14:16You're gonna see now.
14:17We're gonna get loud.
14:19We're going all out.
14:20Dominate, Dominate, Dominate.
14:22The Dark Angel.
14:24The Dark Angel.
14:37Dominate!
14:38Coy, the question for me, is this.
14:43Seth Rollins and CM Punk had run-ins with Gunther the past couple of weeks.
14:48Do you think Gunther perhaps maybe looking past Goldberg to what may lie in his future?
14:53To nie jest zapewowanie tego, no nie wiedziałeś nią.
14:55To nie jest wiedziałeś, że po to weżuciu nie tak jest.
14:58Ale nabierają się, co tam nie jest w tym roku.
15:01Ta to policję była killednie takiej hajdzie w mundialu,
15:04która jest niemożna w uzyskuł jej.
15:05Wydaje się, że tak byś zapraszamy.
15:23Prawda!
15:25Prawda!
15:37Niech się wtedy, w tej sztuki, w tej sztuki,
15:41w tej sztuki, w tej sztuki,
15:45pokazywałem się na niej niej z nim,
15:47Białe Goldberg.
15:49And for
15:55the last two weeks,
15:59I've been verbally abusing
16:02Bill Goldberg in the middle of this ring.
16:05And so far, he's done nothing about it.
16:09So I can only assume
16:13that Bill Goldberg is afraid.
16:18He's afraid of me.
16:21He's afraid of the pressure.
16:43He's afraid of it.
16:47He's afraid of it.
16:49I could only see him doing the weather.
16:51He's afraid of it.
16:53I've seen him doing the weather.
16:55I've seen him do the weather.
16:57He's afraid of it.
16:59What a river.
17:01He's afraid of it.
17:03What a river.
17:05We have technologies.
17:07We have to flip the water.
17:09KONIEC!
17:39Right now, right now.
17:51Right now.
17:53Make one.
18:02And Goldberg with the right hand drops the champion.
18:07Goetner goes down.
18:11And he's setting up for a spear to send a message to the champ.
18:18And Goldberg reverts disaster.
18:28Come on, Diggs.
18:29Come on, Diggs.
18:31Go, Diggs.
18:33Go, Diggs.
18:35It's gonna be a clash of the titans at Saturday night's main event.
18:39Goldberg looks to tear Gunter to shreds for the disrespect shown to him and his family.
18:45While the ring general is out to end Goldberg.
18:47But only one man can walk out of Saturday night's main event as the world heavyweight champion.
18:53Reigniting a rivalry as old as time, Randy Orton is set to take on Drew McIntyre.
18:58It seems that Orton will need to reawaken those voices as the newly returned Scottish psychopath is on a mission to prove that the Viper isn't who he used to be.
19:08L.A. Knight has been a constant thorn in the side of Seth freakin' Rollins.
19:11And the visionary has had enough.
19:13Being on Seth Rollins' bad side is never a place you want to be.
19:16So with his sights firmly set on destroying the megastar, L.A. Knight may need to re-strategize if he wants to gain the retribution he craves.
19:25As Seth Rollins continues his pursuit of domination on Raw, well, things have come to a bit of a stalemate lately.
19:40The visionary has been fighting off threats from all angles.
19:43Having his attempted Money in the Bank cash-in ruined by Penta and Sami Zayn at Night of Champions.
19:49He's been hounded by L.A. Knight in and out of the arena ahead of Saturday night's main event.
19:54Two weeks ago, Penta, Sami, and Jey Uso had Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed retreating by the end of Raw.
20:01But last Monday, things were going to be different for Rollins and his crew.
20:05Because Braun, Bronson, and the visionary were set to take out nearly all of their enemies that night.
20:11One after another after another.
20:18First up on the list, Sami Zayn.
20:20And no matter how motivated Zayn might be, a cross rival of his would leave Sami laying flat and lined up perfectly for Braun Breaker to sweep the floor with Zayn.
20:31Sami's helpless. He's defenseless.
20:33Stay down, Sami.
20:35With Sami Zayn handled so thoroughly.
20:37Sami Zayn is out of action.
20:40In definitely.
20:44The next target, Jey Uso.
20:47Main event Jey would be much more fighting fit and ready for a challenge than Sami Zayn.
20:53Two, three, four.
20:55But no one said that Bronson had to play by the rules.
20:58Oh, no!
20:59Disqualification after Bronson Reed just launched that chair into Jey Uso.
21:06A second tsunami from big Bronson Reed.
21:12And finally, with Sami Zayn and Jey Uso both taken care of, the visionary would personally prove to Penta that maybe he should fear Rollins and his crew after all.
21:22Oh, Zayn could be lining it up.
21:27Looking for the stomp.
21:28Looking for the stomp on Penta.
21:30Penta middle of the ring.
21:31Rollins, nobody home.
21:32Penta out of the way just in time.
21:36Here comes Rollins once again.
21:37Set up on the top rope, kick to the temp.
21:39That'll stun Rollins.
21:40Terribly dangerous predicament for both superstars.
21:51Penta looking potentially for a superplex now.
21:58Change of plans up top.
22:00Plans on the apron.
22:01Great change for Penta.
22:05What is he gonna do here?
22:06Penta now.
22:07Hurricane Rana.
22:08What athleticism by Penta.
22:12There it comes.
22:13And now looking for the Penta driver.
22:14There it is.
22:15There it is.
22:16For the win over Rollins.
22:17Two.
22:18And Seth just managed to get the shoulder up somehow off the Penta driver.
22:22This was too close to call.
22:29Penta sending Rollins straight down.
22:33Penta driver.
22:34I don't know how Rollins got his shoulder up.
22:39Pure instinct perhaps there.
22:41Rollins is a survivor.
22:43We know that.
22:44I was too close.
22:45I was way too close.
22:47With Rollins.
22:48Eamon pleading with Rollins.
22:50He knows Rollins can ill afford a loss here tonight.
22:53And he looks to continue to establish the legacy of this new group.
22:58Let's go Penta!
22:59Let's go!
23:00Let's go!
23:01Let's go!
23:02Let's go!
23:03Let's go!
23:04Let's go!
23:05Let's go!
23:06Let's go!
23:07Let's go!
23:08Let's go!
23:09Let's go!
23:10Let's go!
23:11Let's go!
23:12Let's go!
23:13Let's go!
23:14Oczywiście Rollins has done his homework pop-up.
23:17Look at the power of Mr. Money in the Bank.
23:21Rollins with a buckle bomb.
23:25Mexican Destroyer!
23:28What a move by Penta!
23:31Cover!
23:32One, two, three.
23:34Rollins is too close to the bottom rope.
23:36A fortuitous bounce for
23:41the body of Seth Freak and Rollins.
23:45First the buckle bomb into the Mexican Destroyer by Penta.
23:51And as luck would have it, Rollins just a little too close to the bottom rope.
23:58And this one rolls on.
24:00And he lost his press for a moment.
24:04And now Penta looking to put Rollins away once again.
24:09Oh, and Rollins!
24:11Rollins, he went low.
24:13Rollins caught Penta with a head to the groin.
24:16Or did Penta pull Rollins up?
24:20Well, look at the expression on Seth's face.
24:26Obviously, that was not inadvertent, and neither was the stomp.
24:31And Rollins off that low blow that caught Penta will put Penta away.
24:39Three for three for Rollins and company tonight.
24:42Here is your winner, Seth Freakin' Rollins!
24:50Penta always finds a way.
24:53Always finds a way.
24:55Now!
24:59Now!
25:00Now!
25:01Now!
25:02Now!
25:03Now!
25:04What the hell is he marking up to his phone?
25:06Oh, boy.
25:07I have my guesses.
25:08Yeah, yeah.
25:09Well, it was...
25:10Yeah, there you go.
25:12Braun Breaker, Big Bronson Reed coming out here for more destruction tonight.
25:18Penta is helpless.
25:22What the hell?
25:23LA Knight, blood force trauma, BFP, hit and run on Rollins.
25:31And LA Knight escapes, getting the last laugh tonight.
25:36Seth Rollins, somebody's got your number heading into Saturday and Saturday night's main event.
25:56Let freedom ring as the Great American Bash makes its way to Atlanta.
26:09Japanese standout Yoshiki Inomura looks to shock the world by defeating the dominant ruler Obafemi
26:15to win the storied NXT Championship.
26:18From the storied title to a storied rivalry, Ethan Page puts his NXT North American Championship
26:24on the line in a Falls Count Anywhere match against longtime adversary, Ricky Saints.
26:30And after her arrival sent shockwaves throughout the entire industry,
26:33Blake Monroe will compete in her debut match.
26:35The Glamour teams up with Jordan Grace to take on fatal influences Fallon Henley and Jasmine Nix.
26:41With the sinister calling behind her, Izzy Dane looks to win her first title in NXT,
26:45as Sol Ruka puts the NXT Women's North American Championship on the line against the Dangerous Dane.
26:51Having bested some of the Performance Center's most promising trainees, Jasper Troy won the first season of WWE LFG.
26:59And now, the monstrous newcomer takes on the young OG Javon Evans in Jasper's PLE debut.
27:06Plus, it will be a can't-miss contract signing for the TNA World Championship.
27:11Trick Williams' controversial victory at Battleground left a sour taste in the mouth of TNA fans and stars alike.
27:17And this Saturday, TNA's Joe Hendry and Mike Santana will be one step closer to bringing the title home.
27:24Don't miss all the action and drama at the Great American Bash.
27:30We have got a huge weekend coming up in Atlanta, but before we can get there,
27:34I actually want to look back to two weeks ago in Riyadh at Night of Champions.
27:38With the United States title on the line, it looked like Jacob Fatu was about to put away Solo Sokoa.
27:44But the shocking return of Tonga Loa and the subsequent debut of Tala Tonga gave Sokoa the upper hand
27:51and allowed him to secure the United States Championship.
27:53But without championship gold, we were left with an angry werewolf in the form of Jacob Fatu, hungry for revenge.
28:01So Fatu teamed up with Jimmy Uso, who knows all too well just how dangerous Solo can be,
28:07to take on the new champion and his new enforcer, JT Mateo, in tag team action.
28:17A series of super kicks and now he has each of them lined up.
28:23Which way you want to go, Jake? Hip attack and hip attack.
28:28Bouncing the craniums of these two men around with abandon.
28:36Swanton from Fatu.
28:40And Mateo breaks it up at the last second.
28:43Get out, JC, come on.
28:44It's turning into a mugging now, but Big Jim's back.
28:48Looking to even the score here.
28:50Trying to take care of him for a moment.
28:52Big Jim breaks free and does deliver the super kick.
28:56Out here protecting Kaz.
29:00Big Jim revving it up.
29:01Over the top rope, right on to JC Mateo.
29:07Man, man, Fatu comes flying out.
29:10Fatu with a dive of his own.
29:12What is there that Jacob Fatu cannot do?
29:17I'm still waiting for the answer.
29:18Zolo gets out of the way and delivers a super kick of his own.
29:26And now the all too familiar sight of that Samoan spike.
29:32Oh, but it is countered.
29:34Fatu counters it.
29:36Impaler DDT.
29:37Fatu's lining it up.
29:42Fighting moonsault by Fatu.
29:44One, two, three.
29:49Sweet revenge.
29:53Here are your winners.
29:56Jimmy Uso and the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu.
30:02Well, a modicum of vengeance for the now former United States champ,
30:09Jacob Fatu.
30:11He got victory tonight alongside Big Jim over the man who conquered him at
30:17nine of champions.
30:18But it looks like that is not gonna satisfy the appetite-
30:22Watch out, Wade, watch out.
30:23Of this absolute beast of a man.
30:25Man, he's just annihilating and clearing our announce desk.
30:34Well, this is about punishment now.
30:37What is perhaps gonna be a sickening attack on the new United States champ.
30:44He is climbing all the way up.
30:46All the way up he's climbing.
30:48God.
30:49Talatanga again.
30:51The man who caused all the damage at Night of Champions.
30:54The ultimate acquisition.
30:56Jimmy Uso tried his best to take this monster there.
31:00Jimmy's in there, but he's got company.
31:03Tonga Loa is meeting him.
31:05And now Tonga Loa and Talatanga are getting the best of Big Jim.
31:12Oh, what a boot that was.
31:14God, that's gonna be a size 18 boot to the jaw of Big Jim.
31:18All this is bad.
31:21Look at the numbers game.
31:25That four pro tour of the islands.
31:28Is now back causing maximum damage.
31:31And now they got Big Jim in a place of big hurt.
31:39And a twisted neck breaker to Jimmy Uso out here on the concrete.
31:45And now their attention turns to Jacob Fatu.
31:48The one they really wanted.
31:49Four on one.
31:50The one they really wanted.
31:51Just held in place.
31:55And a brutal Samoan spike delivered.
32:02Just an old fashioned mugging.
32:05Four on one.
32:08Jacob Fatu now a carcass.
32:10And it appears they're not done yet.
32:12They're coming our way again.
32:16Zakoua's coming our way again.
32:18Remember, he was on the table moments ago.
32:21And then his newfound family with Tala Tonga and Tonga Loa.
32:28This is not good, no, no, they've got him up.
32:33He crashes through the reinforced announce desk.
32:39You've never defeated Io Sky in singles competition.
33:02Does that affect your psyche at all going into this match?
33:05Cover on Ripley.
33:10Sky wins.
33:13Over the Musou, into the cover.
33:17Io's reign continues in NXT.
33:22Io Sky counter.
33:27Io Sky is the world champion.
33:32Over the Musou, cover on Bel Air.
33:35Io Sky wins.
33:37Rhea Ripley has never defeated Io Sky in a one-on-one matchup.
33:44Io's always had my number every step of the way.
33:47Whether it was the Mae Young Classic II, NXT.
33:51Now for my Women's World Championship.
33:54That's always going to be on my mind.
33:56But I'm someone that likes to put this doubt into the fire that really sets me a light.
34:01Mami is the most dominant woman within this company.
34:08Rhea Ripley is a genuine badass.
34:13How could you not be impressed?
34:15This is my division.
34:19Because Mami is always on top.
34:26Welcome to Monday Night Mami.
34:31It was Evolution just around the corner.
34:36I feel like I need to start getting my priorities straight.
34:39The Women's World Champion, Io Sky.
34:51You are wrong about one thing.
34:53You are not on top.
34:58Not without this.
35:02Nobody in this division can stop me.
35:04From world to stardom, to the top of the world.
35:09It's my era.
35:14One of the greatest in-ring competitors the Women's Division has ever seen.
35:20Nobody in this division will ever take this championship from your sky.
35:30I want to defend against the best.
35:34That means defending against Rhea Ripley.
35:43Io, I have nothing but respect for you.
35:48And if that is what you want, then I just want you to know that I'm going to stop at nothing
35:54to get this back.
35:56So at Evolution, Rhea Ripley vs Io Sky for the Women's World Championship.
36:04You're on.
36:08What a gutsy move by Io Sky, who will be the Women's World Champion.
36:15I am the real Women's World Champion.
36:23One more time, we find ourselves asking the question, can Rhea Ripley finally best Io Sky?
36:30The Women's World Championship is on the line as Mami challenges Io Sky for the gold this Sunday at Evolution.
36:39While Rhea Ripley and Io Sky are faced with very familiar opponents in each other, the WWE Women's
36:45Champion is finally wading into new waters. After putting Nia Jax behind her, Jade Cargill, the new
36:51Queen of the Ring has already set her sights on the Women's Championship after earning her guaranteed
36:57title opportunity for SummerSlam. And last Friday on SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton attempted to address both
37:03SummerSlam and her upcoming unnamed opponent at Evolution. Cargill made sure that Tiffy didn't forget,
37:10no matter who leaves Evolution as champion, Jade is next. But really, we didn't have to wait long to
37:16to find out exactly who Tiffany was going to be dealing with this weekend as she defends her gold
37:22at the all women's premium live event. Trishy, I invited you here today because we teamed up together
37:31at Elimination Chamber and I thought to myself, what would Evolution be without some Stratisfaction?
37:39So I would like to offer you the opportunity to face me at Evolution for the WWE Women's Championship.
37:55Okay, Beth, you wanna choose Trish? That's fine. Like I said, it doesn't matter if it's you
38:02or a legend at SummerSlam.
38:09Wow, I did not expect that. Thank you, Tiff.
38:16I gotta say, Evolution holds a very special place in my heart.
38:21It represents everything we fought for back in the day. We still have to fight for one
38:27single woman's match on a card. And now, at Evolution-
38:32That's right. We're gonna have an entire card of incredibly talented women.
38:50I've always said that careers are made of moments. And Tiff, you gave me one of my most special moments
38:57by allowing me to wrestle live in front of my kids. They got to see me in the ring.
39:04But you know what? My kids have never seen me be a champion in the ring.
39:14I mean, it does have a pretty nice ring to it. Eight time champion.
39:18I would just like to make one thing clear.
39:27This isn't gonna be easy. It's not the Attitude Era anymore.
39:36That's fine. No, no, no. Hey, hey, that's good. I want that fight. I want that fight.
39:41Because I've been known to evolve, Tiff. Good. So whether it's you at Evolution or
39:47you at SummerSlam, you both are gonna realize that the WWE Universe runs on Tiffy Time.
40:00Now, Evolution is next Sunday, July 13th. SummerSlam is in four weeks.
40:06This is all happening.
40:07For your stratisfaction, Tris Stratus returns for Evolution. Once tag team partners now turned
40:14opponents, it's going to be Tiffany Stratton versus the Hall of Famer for the WWE Women's
40:19Championship this Sunday at Evolution.
40:21So a man, a role model, and a bird walk into a wrestling ring. Now,
40:31I know what you're thinking, but no, that's not the beginning of a joke. That is a real thing
40:35that happened last Monday night on Raw. After Bayley and Lyra Valkyria's number one contenders
40:40match ended in a draw, Adam Pearce made Becky Lynch's Women's Intercontinental Title Defense
40:46at Evolution a triple threat match.
40:48And unsurprisingly, the champ is not happy with Pierce's decision, claiming that Bayley
40:52and Lyra both lost two weeks ago and that Becky should have a new opponent since she's already
40:58beaten both of them. Well, the challengers made it clear to the champ that they didn't agree with
41:03this, but not without some bickering between them. So with tensions rising, Lyra decided to
41:09to tell Bayley the truth about WrestleMania, that Becky attacked the role model and that
41:14Becky called Lyra to replace her. But of course, the man took that opportunity to share her own
41:20version of these events. You know, I remember this one thing that you said, you said,
41:29Bayley is everything that I am pretending to be and that Bayley would never betray you the way that I did.
41:36Well, how's that working out for you? Because it seems like she's not pretending anymore,
41:40is she? I hate to say I told you so. Shut up, Becky. You can't get in my head anymore, okay?
41:47But she was right about one thing. How nice of you to finally admit it. You don't care about
41:55friendship when it comes to championship gold, right? You know what that makes you?
42:01That makes you just like her. And I know what I have to do now.
42:10On Sunday at Evolution, I have to rescue that championship from two massive disappointments.
42:17You know what, Lyra? I sat front row when you were the first ever Women's Intercontinental Champion.
42:32When you won that championship for the first time, I sat right there. And when we had that
42:38tag tournament to get to WrestleMania, I stood on the apron and I watched the work you put in.
42:43I watched you rise to the top. I watched you go to WrestleMania and become a double champion.
42:53And then I watched you lose that Intercontinental Championship.
43:00And you raised her hand like a little bitch.
43:03Well, Lyra's holding up.
43:07And Becky knocked down.
43:09And here we go, Bayley and Lyra brawling.
43:12Picking up right where we left off last Monday.
43:14Yeah, you know this wasn't gonna end well.
43:16Lyra Valkyria has had enough of Bayley.
43:22And now Becky Lynch went for the manhandle slam.
43:25And Lyra, the Nightwing to Becky.
43:29Bayley again from behind, scooped up by Valkyria.
43:36The Nightwing to Bayley as well, Lyra Valkyria standing tall.
43:41It goes down like that in Atlanta, we're gonna have a new Intercontinental Champion.
43:46This will be the last time your hand is raised in this championship.
43:52You hear me?
43:57Lyra may have won tonight's battle, but on Sunday at Evolution, who will win the war?
44:01Becky Lynch puts her Women's Intercontinental title on the line against two superstars who've
44:06been pining after it for weeks, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
44:10Plus, it will be a generational battle as WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus looks to win
44:17the WWE Women's title from one of the women's division's fastest rising stars, Tiffany Stratus.
44:25And the winner of that match will face Jade Cargill at SummerSlam.
44:28That is, if the Storm can survive a no-fold-barred match against her long-time foe,
44:34Miss Money in the Bank, Naomi.
44:36With Liv Morgan out of action, Roxanne Perez now holds the WWE Women's Tag Team title with
44:42Raquel Rodriguez.
44:44And it will be a real test for the Judgment Day as they defend their titles against the
44:48Kabuki Warriors, the unlikely duo of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, and NXT's Sol Ruka and Zarya.
44:56And that won't be the only NXT representation on Sunday, as JC Jane puts the NXT Women's Championship
45:04on the line against the juggernaut Jordan Grace.
45:08Plus, a huge opportunity awaits any superstar who can survive a high-states battle royal.
45:14Outlast the rest of the field, and you'll punch your ticket to a title opportunity at Clash in Paris.
45:21And Rhea Ripley looks to eradicate the genius of the Sky one-on-one for the first time in her career.
45:27As Ripley takes on Io Sky for the Women's World Championship, you don't want to miss the
45:32historic Evolution Premium Live event this Sunday, July 13th.
45:38Between Evolution, Saturday night's main event, and the Great American Bash, there is going to be
45:43non-stop WWE action coming at you from Atlanta this weekend.
45:48Go grab your friends, some snacks, and a seat on the couch, and tune in to these three
45:53massive shows that you will not want to miss.
45:55And I'll be right here with you next week to bring you every single highlight.
46:00But until then, I'm Megan Morant.
46:02Thank you so much for joining me this week in WWE.
