00:00This is my brutality!
00:30I've said it before, I'm gonna say it again.
00:37When you look up the term superstar,
00:41you see the face of the Eradicator, Rhea Bloody Ripley.
00:48And for Rhea Ripley tonight,
00:52it is about ending undesirable streaks.
00:58It is about putting to bed things she's not been able to accomplish.
01:04She's never won at SummerSlam.
01:06She's never defeated Io Sky.
01:08I spoke to Rhea Ripley earlier today, Wade, and she says tonight is the night.
01:14Well, this is undoubtedly the face of women's wrestling in the present era.
01:21But how the hell can you be the face of women's wrestling,
01:25A, without the gold, and B, without a victory at SummerSlam.
01:30That is a baffling statistic, one that I would feel I'd have to check up on
01:35if I didn't know you weren't always completely accurate, Michael Cole.
01:38But yeah, big, big night for Rhea Ripley.
01:41An opportunity tonight for Rhea to win the Women's World Championship.
01:46She just has an unbelievable presence, does Rhea Ripley.
01:51.
01:58She just has an unbelievable presence, does Rhea Ripley.
02:04She is the genius of the sky.
02:33EO Sky, the former Women's World Champion.
02:38And last month at the Evolution Premium Live Event in Atlanta.
02:44EO Sky and Rhea Ripley put on the proverbial barn burner, stealing the show.
02:50One of the all-time great matches at Evolution.
02:53Rhea Ripley seemed to be finally closing in on beating EO Sky.
02:58And Naomi Wave would cash in money in the bank.
03:03Sometimes in life, you just have your kryptonite.
03:06And as close as Rhea Ripley got at Evolution, ultimately, she did not prevail.
03:11Kryptonite won once again, one way or another.
03:15And for many, if Rhea Ripley is the face of women's wrestling, then the best woman's wrestler on the planet,
03:22bell to bell, is EO Sky.
03:24And this match to kick off SummerSlam Sunday is brought to you by Drumstick.
03:28The official partner of SummerSlam, an America's favorite sundae cone.
03:32There's only one ultimate snack that's chocolatey, creamy, crunchy, and crispy.
03:38And it's Drumstick, the SmackDown Champion.
03:47Ladies and gentlemen, welcome again to ringside.
03:49Michael Cole, Wade Barrett.
03:50Wade, my question to you is, how on earth do we follow up last night?
03:55Well, night one was epic, but night two always tops night one, doesn't it?
04:01Gauntlet laid down, let's have ourselves a night here on SummerSlam Sunday.
04:06The Spanish announced team Jerry and Marcelo here as well, welcome guys.
04:09Thank you, amigos.
04:10And after what happened last night, as Michael Cole said,
04:13we're going to be here to make a little bit more of history.
04:16There were changes in titles.
04:17Will that happen tonight?
04:19Will they return preseas?
04:20The history can change as it changed last night,
04:22and as it could change a lot here in SummerSlam Sunday night.
04:25Two of the three participants in our Triple Threat Match
04:32for the Women's World Title.
04:35Again, first to gain pinfall or submission becomes the champion tonight.
04:39No count outs, no disqualifications.
05:09Ladies and gentlemen, the man on the guitar is Naomi's father, Sean McCray, a world-renowned guitarist.
05:14He heads up the Derrick Mack band.
05:16He once opened for cool in the game back in the day.
05:21He's played with Tyler Dane, and now tonight, he's helping his daughter Naomi head to the ring to kick off SummerSlam.
05:28I don't know if Naomi's gonna come to the ring, she's having too much of a party out there.
05:35But some people get all the luck, don't they?
05:40Not only is Naomi the champion of the world, but her dad can play guitar like Jimi Hendrix.
05:47I wish I was Naomi.
05:49I wish I was Naomi.
05:54Watch out.
05:55Watch out.
05:56Watch out.
05:57Watch out.
05:58Watch out.
06:05Watch out.
06:11Watch out.
06:18Watch out.
06:20You better watch out
06:36Watch out
06:41I'm coming
06:50Let's head up to our ring announcer the great Alicia Taylor.
07:06The following contest is a triple threat match.
07:15And it's for the Women's World Championship.
07:25Introducing the challengers.
07:32First, from Adelaide, South Australia, Rhea Ripley.
07:49Next, from Tokyo, Japan.
07:59E.O. Sky.
08:05And their opponent, from Orlando, Florida, she is the Women's World Champion.
08:24Naomi!
08:25Naomi!
08:26A lot of interesting stats as we start this matchup tonight.
08:30For Naomi, she's never won at SummerSlam.
08:32Her last appearance was back in 2017.
08:33On that night, she lost the Women's Championship to Natalya.
08:36So a lot of revenge on Naomi's mind tonight.
08:37Let's take a look at E.O. Sky Wade.
08:38In her career, she is 8-1.
08:398-1 in triple threat matches.
08:43Referee, Jessica Carr calls for the bell, and we are underway.
08:46E.O. Sky, two years ago at SummerSlam, cashed in money in the bank to win the WWE Women's Championship.
08:50So what's the strategy now, Wade, for these women as they try to knock off Naomi tonight?
08:55Well, Naomi took a major shortcut with the Money in the Bank briefcase at Evolution, costing two women their historical moment after an epic match, and clearly the two women concerned have not forgotten that.
09:10And were apparently out for vengeance on Naomi. Naomi taking a step sideways, at least momentarily.
09:30Well, she's allowed to do that. There are no count outs in a triple threat match.
09:33But remember, there's no champion's advantage. Naomi does not have to be involved in the decision to lose the championship tonight.
09:40If Maria Pindillo or vice versa, they'd be the chain.
09:43Right up, there seems to be a momentary alliance here.
09:48There's no love loss for Naomi, that is for sure.
09:54Who looks for a way to escape early, and Rhea Ripley will not allow that to happen.
09:58Yeah, sadly, there are no shortcuts tonight for Naomi.
10:01Naomi, this is gonna be as arduous as winning the Money in the Bank briefcase in the first place, should she prevail.
10:08Well, Naomi is gonna have to, to use her words, proceed with caution against these two women here tonight.
10:20Naomi went after Rhea Ripley, now Io Sky gets involved with the right hand, and we're underway with action in this Women's World Championship matchup.
10:27Yeah, it's a lot more difficult now that Io Sky and Rhea Ripley are completely fresh,
10:32unlike the cash-in at Evolution, when they were wiped out after such a torturous match.
10:38Of course, that was a surprise, right?
10:40Naomi cashing in tonight, there are no surprises.
10:42No!
10:43Rhea Ripley, I think that was inadvertent, clocked Io Sky as they appeared to wanna be working together there,
10:49and a mule kicked by Naomi, and suddenly the champ's taken control.
10:52And that was about the best thing that could've happened for Naomi in this one.
10:56Whoa!
10:57Break up this alliance right off the bat, this ain't two-on-one.
11:00Now, surely, it's every woman for themselves.
11:02Naomi now climbing up to the top rope, Io and Rhea are there, and Naomi now with a crossbody.
11:07Makes out Rhea and Io Sky.
11:11You know, we talked about the countdown show, Wade, the importance of this matchup for Naomi.
11:16There again is that kick from Rhea Ripley to Io Sky.
11:23A friendly fire, despite the fact both are opponents in this match,
11:27that alliance completely obliterated right off the bat.
11:31Well, Naomi's been upset too, there's been a lot of whispers over the past few weeks,
11:35that over the fact that she became champion by cashing in money in the bank,
11:38that maybe she didn't quite earn that.
11:40Those are the words of others in the locker room.
11:42Complete BS, I've heard that a million times.
11:44But cashing is easy, that's the bit that a fool couldn't screw that up.
11:49The hard part is getting the briefcase in the first place.
11:52That is really where you win the world championship.
11:55So I'm taking no shot on Naomi about cashing in and being successful.
11:59She earned every piece of that championship.
12:02But now you've got to earn it all over again.
12:04And Rhea up on the apron now, and look at how power Naomi here.
12:07And Naomi trying to block.
12:10Rhea got a pimple of hair.
12:14Naomi was perhaps biting the hand there of Rhea Ripley.
12:19Either way, it was completely effective.
12:21Naomi in the early goings here has been dominant.
12:25The X Factor delivered to Io Sky, cover now.
12:27And a kick out by Sky.
12:30Again, if it was biting, it's legal.
12:32And no disqualifications here in the Triple Threat match tonight.
12:36The new attitude by Naomi.
12:38Tried to talk to her about it earlier today.
12:40Said she's sick and tired.
12:42She said of being disrespected, being mistreated, being overused.
12:47Those were her words.
12:49Felt like she was stabbed in the back by both Bianca Belair and Jade Cargo.
12:52Decided it was time to do things on her own.
12:54Fifteen plus years at the top.
12:56And who was giving Naomi any respect until she alerted everyone to this change in personality?
13:03Proceed with caution.
13:04My God, right on the nose of Rhea Ripley.
13:07Leting chick kick off the ropes.
13:08And now Naomi gonna, ooh, try to pin Rhea there who kicks out.
13:12Well look, when you break into the industry as we take another look at this boot,
13:17I think it's actually the forehead of Rhea Ripley.
13:19Didn't get a gushing nose like Gunther last night, fortunately for the Aussie superstar.
13:24But when you break into this industry and you perform in a role like a Funkadaptor, a backing dancer,
13:30very often the stigma of that follows you forever.
13:33Well that's been enough for Naomi.
13:35It did follow Naomi, not anymore.
13:38She also felt like a number of years ago she was forced out of the company,
13:42had to go and reinvent herself, which she did.
13:44Became a TNA Knockouts Champion, had returned to WWE and then decided,
13:48hey, I gotta start doing things the way I wanna do things around here, and it's paid off.
13:53Rhea came back after that departure, was given respect for about three weeks,
13:57and then it was all back to the old Naomi once again.
13:59Oh, it's just Naomi, we don't need to give her opportunities.
14:02Well, don't give me any opportunities, I'm just gonna start taking them.
14:05Well done, Naomi.
14:07Naomi with a big kick, and now, oh, and Rhea bounced off the apron.
14:11It's been all Naomi, she is absolutely battering Rhea and Io Sky,
14:16that arguably the two best women wrestlers on the planet.
14:20Naomi now up to the top rope, Rhea back to her feet.
14:24And Naomi, oh, what a blockbuster by Naomi, quickly into the cover now on Ripley,
14:28hooks the leg, and Rhea's got a kick out at two.
14:31Complete control from Naomi, just picking apart these two badass women.
14:37And Rhea Ripley looking in, major dire strikes, and now keep your eye on Io Sky.
14:42Io Sky comes off the top rope, and Naomi able to avoid a, perhaps a missing drop kick there,
14:47and now roll through by Naomi, kick right to the face of Io Sky.
14:51And again, Naomi looks great so far in this matchup.
14:54Arguably the best Naomi has ever looked in her entire career.
14:59This woman is just getting better and better.
15:01And now she's mocking Io Sky.
15:04Do whatever you want when you're the champ, you have the gold, you're in control,
15:08just keep on doing what you do.
15:10And now Rhea, back to her feet.
15:14Rhea with a clothesline, and now the Eradicator starts to take over.
15:20Naomi face first.
15:29Io, springboard off the top rope, and there's the missile drop kick.
15:33Into a kip up for Sky.
15:41Now Rhea and Io having some fun together.
15:44You know they'd love to make this a one-on-one match at some point, Wade,
15:47to finally settle their differences.
15:49It's a hell of a lot.
15:50Oh!
15:51Winning a one-on-one match.
15:52And a three-way like this.
15:546-1-9 into a released German suplex.
15:57And this double teaming on Naomi might have been the only way Ripley and Io Sky
16:05were going to get back into the match, but now it's one-on-one.
16:11Yeah, Rhea with that smile, we got some unfinished business back at Evolution last month.
16:20And Io, such a joy to watch.
16:23You're the best in the world going at it right here.
16:26And if there was any doubt before Evolution, I think the world knew right after it.
16:30Oh!
16:31These are the two toughest women we've ever seen.
16:33Cover by Rhea.
16:34Io's got a kick out at two.
16:36Caught each other through hell in Atlanta three weeks ago and kept on ticking.
16:41Take another look at this.
16:45High flying Io Sky just plucked out by the powerhouse Rhea Ripley.
16:50Rhea going for a riptide, looking to put this one away.
16:53And Io able to turn it around, roll up, shoulders down, and a kick out by Rhea at two.
16:59Another great takedown by Io, and now in control.
17:06And that cross facing, Rhea Ripley just too strong, at least at this point in the match,
17:11to keep that locked in.
17:12Ooh!
17:13Right on the bridge of the nose.
17:16And uh-oh, Io missed Wilde with a kick up on Rhea's shoulders now.
17:20Io goes, wow!
17:21My God, my God.
17:23Cover by Sky to win the championship, and Naomi's gotta break things up to save her title.
17:28That was close.
17:29Oh, Poison Rana there, just as Rhea Ripley was going for the power move once again.
17:34War it the first time, but Io Sky just developing as the match goes on,
17:39learning from opponents and figuring out counters.
17:46And Naomi looked in the corner, and there's a back elbow to Sky.
17:53Ooh!
17:54Oh, man!
17:55Great reflex dodge there by Naomi, but didn't dodge the second one.
18:00Razor's edge from Rhea to Io!
18:07And now Ripley!
18:08Down goes Io again!
18:10Stacks her up!
18:12And Naomi drags Rhea off the cover!
18:15What a contrast in styles between these three women, the high-flying technical skills of Io Sky,
18:22the power moves of Rhea Ripley, and this unorthodox craziness of Naomi.
18:28Now Naomi, who appeared to be going in for a cover, was stopped by Ripley.
18:33And now Rhea and Naomi going out and outside the rings.
18:38Driven rips through the barricade, and now into the steps.
18:41That rage inside Rhea Ripley starting to bubble to the surface, and that can be dangerous for Ripley.
18:49She's devastating when she's in this mode, but she's-
18:52Oh, Moonsault!
18:53Moonsault!
18:54Take her eye off the ball, when consumed by rage, drops the guard.
18:59And Io Sky can capitalize from any angle.
19:02Springboard Moonsault from Io Sky.
19:06There's a reason she's called genius in the sky, as she wipes out Rhea and Naomi.
19:11And now Io, with an opportunity to win the championship.
19:14One, two, three!
19:17That kick stunned Naomi, caught her in the ear.
19:20This audience here starting to believe that it is Io Sky's night, especially with Rhea Ripley down on the outside.
19:27Io looking for the bullet train attack, but Rhea Ripley looks to intercept, and Io gonna make her pay with a stomp!
19:34Pryptonite strikes again for Rhea Ripley.
19:37Nothing is working against Io Sky.
19:39We talked about it before, sometimes you just have an opponent you can't beat.
19:46And Sky has been that for Ripley, a couple of bullet train attacks now.
19:49And the longer that streak goes on, the worse it gets, the harder it is to get over the hump.
19:55Now Io Sky with all the momentum in the world.
20:02Choose your victim.
20:05Rhea down and out in the far corner.
20:07And Io Sky says that's it.
20:10Gonna head up top.
20:13Maybe looking for, over the moonsault!
20:15Rhea Ripley drives her into the ring post!
20:17Oh, sternum first, onto the top of that ring post.
20:22Crack ribs are anything from there, but Rhea Ripley doesn't care.
20:26No one goal is on the line!
20:27Thought Rhea was going for the riptide, and Naomi caught it with a kick to the hamstring.
20:31And now Naomi, foot leg moonsault, tells she won the championship.
20:35Cover, hook of the leg, isn't it enough to put Rhea away?
20:38Io Sky, over the moonsault, but she takes out Rhea.
20:42Naomi, that was a, she's been watching Bianca Belair, that was from WrestleMania.
20:49And look at this now, shoulders down again, and a kick out by Sky.
20:53You're absolutely right, so much awareness from Naomi here.
20:56You mentioned it yourself, something very similar happened at WrestleMania with
21:00former tag partner Bianca Belair.
21:02And we know full well that Naomi knows everything about Bianca Belair.
21:07She was stalking her in her house at one point, rummaging through her underwear
21:11drawers and finding out whatever else she could about Bianca Belair.
21:15Well, she found out the crucial detail there.
21:17That is how you avoid Io Sky.
21:20Naomi's been doing her homework.
21:22Triple threat match for the Women's World Championship in front of over 56,000 tonight
21:27on SummerSlam Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
21:30And crucially, it has given Naomi the upper hand with Rhea Ripley laid out.
21:35And now Io Sky on Jelly Legs.
21:37Shotae uppercuts there.
21:42And another one by Io.
21:44Io struggling to maintain a vertical base, but once again the pendulum swings here.
21:49And Naomi, what a knee!
21:50What a collision!
21:51My God!
21:52He may have broken the nose of Io Sky.
21:55Completely wiping out the genius of the Sky, but ready to pounce is Ripley.
21:59Off the headbutt, into the riptide by Rhea.
22:02Rhea stacks up the champion.
22:04Io Sky just before the three count breaks things up.
22:09One one-hundredth of a second away from victory for Rhea Ripley.
22:16Look at this knee to a bang!
22:19In motion Io Sky temporarily wiping out the Japanese superstar,
22:23and then Ripley ready to pounce with the big hitter.
22:26Riptide connects 2.99.
22:30Oh, that's not quite gonna get the job done tonight thanks to the speed of Io Sky.
22:35Again, first woman to gain pinfall or submission wins the Women's World Championship.
22:41Naomi outside the ring after getting clocked by not just the knee but the riptide,
22:46and now Rhea Ripley and Io Sky square off center of the ring.
22:49Yeah, the double whammy to Naomi open a window for these two now to grab the gold.
22:55Gotta make it count while you can, but there ain't much left in the tank of these two.
22:59Exchanging blows, Io back to repeat Rhea as well.
23:06Kick by Rhea drops Io to her knees.
23:11Yeah, slow fast against Rhea Ripley, I don't fancy anyone else's chances.
23:15And now Naomi gonna pay for it.
23:20And Rhea Ripley with a boot drives Naomi off the apron.
23:23And now Io gonna dump Rhea up to the apron as well.
23:26And all of the big hits are going the way of Naomi right now.
23:30No!
23:31Except for that one.
23:33Bullseye, Rhea Ripley.
23:35And now Ripley off the apron.
23:37A bowling ball, the cannonball delivered to Naomi.
23:41It's almost a scorpion kick.
23:43Kinda caught the heel of the boot right to the top of the head of Naomi.
23:48Scrambling the brains of the champ for now.
23:52And now Naomi back up to the apron.
23:54She looks down at the champion.
23:55Io Sky back to her feet.
23:57Io Sky now looking for a sunset flip powerbomb.
24:00Rhea Ripley hanging on.
24:01And now Io delivers a powerbomb to Naomi.
24:05And all three women are down in front of us here.
24:10Cushioning the landing somewhat for Rhea Ripley with the ribs of Naomi.
24:18Rhea Ripley now not looking good at all.
24:22And in whole pursuit is Io Sky.
24:24And Io gonna climb now to the top rope.
24:25Genius to the sky says this one's over.
24:28Io Sky positioning.
24:30Uh-oh.
24:31Looking for over the moonsault.
24:32And again Rhea Ripley able to counter.
24:34Sky just too sluggish on that one.
24:36So beat up at this point in the match.
24:38As are the other two women in the match.
24:47Io Carter.
24:48It's again one of those Shote uppercuts.
24:51They completely scramble the brain.
24:55Io will stumble there.
24:57Dump it up to the top rope.
24:58Rhea Ripley with a headbutt.
25:00And now Rhea's got Io in position.
25:02Good job.
25:03Rhea Ripley from the second rope.
25:08Riptide.
25:10Avalanche Riptide.
25:12Stacks her up for the win.
25:14Naomi now from behind.
25:17Rolls up Rhea.
25:18Naomi.
25:19Naomi retains the title.
25:21Here is your winner.
25:26And still the women's world champion.
25:32Naomi.
25:35My goodness Wade.
25:37Rhea Ripley is snake bit.
25:40There's no other way to describe it.
25:42Ripley had the title won again.
25:46And Naomi came from out of nowhere.
25:49And pinned Rhea Ripley.
25:51Doesn't matter if she used the tights, Rhea.
25:53No disqualification.
25:54The craftiest woman on earth played.
25:59All the right cards tonight.
26:01Naomi, the world is basking in your glow.
26:05Congratulations.
26:06Still, world champ.
26:09This match was brought to you by Drumstick,
26:11the official partner of Summerslam and America's favorite Sunday Cone.
26:15Replay time now because there's only one ultimate snack,
26:18the Chocolaty, Creamy, Crunchy, and Crispy, and it's Drumstick,
26:21the Snapdown Champion.
26:22This is the bullseye right to the kisser of the genius of the sky,
26:26followed by this little scorpion-like attack on Naomi.
26:30It looked like Naomi was dead and buried after this power mob
26:34right onto the chest by Io Sky.
26:37But things turned around in a hurry.
26:39One slip on the top rope from Io Sky and Avalanche Riptide.
26:43Later it was over, but not in the way Rhea Ripley thought.
26:47It was over because Naomi pounced and was ready.
26:52Here is your winner.
26:58Shrewd, lucky, smart,
27:03Naomi is still the women's world champion.
27:10.
