00:00Here we go, Morgan and Rousey gonna lock up center of the ring.
00:06Ronda Rousey, though, quickly goes right after Morgan.
00:08And it only takes one mistake by Liv Morgan to open the door for
00:12Ronda to turn your lights out or break your arm.
00:14Liv has to stay away from her, cannot get in close to Ronda Rousey.
00:17Ronda now back to the corner with left hands.
00:20Again, Ronda's gotta pin or submit Morgan.
00:22Champion's advantage here tonight.
00:25Roll through by Morgan.
00:27What a knee.
00:28Liv is in trouble.
00:29Ronda quickly going for the ankle.
00:30Looking for an ankle lock, but perhaps quick tap out now on Morgan.
00:33Maybe not, nice throw by Rousey.
00:36Hook of the leg now on Morgan for the title and a kick out.
00:39Rousey coming out of the gates fast and strong.
00:41And Liv looks, she looks a bit timid.
00:44You're absolutely right, she does.
00:46Because again, Liv does not have the element of surprise on her side.
00:49She doesn't have a Money in the Bank contract anymore.
00:52Ronda Rousey has known this match was coming.
00:54So Rousey has been preparing specifically for Liv Morgan.
00:58Morgan trying to fight back.
00:59You don't want to get into a fist of cups with Rousey.
01:01And Rousey now rolling through.
01:03We got Morgan on her shoulder now.
01:04Ronda Rousey could be closing in on a quick win here tonight.
01:07A couple of well-placed elbows to the jaw.
01:08Oh!
01:09Double knees to the face, Rousey's rocked.
01:13The code breaker by Morgan, an outlet.
01:15Morgan looking for oblivion, Ronda Rousey able to counter.
01:18Uh-oh, right into the clutches of Rousey.
01:21And that's what Morgan had to be careful of, and Ronda Rousey looking for the arm bar now.
01:24Morgan trying to somehow to block.
01:26Rousey, though, can she lock it in, shoulders up, shoulders up, shoulders up, shoulders down.
01:32Ronda was tapped for a moment, but Ronda now transitioning to the other arm.
01:39Oh, she's so quick, and Ronda has Liv exactly where she wants her.
01:42On the mat, looking for the arm bar, looking to tap the champion and make Morgan's reign pretty quick.
01:48And there it is, Ronda Rousey now.
01:50And in combination by Morgan.
01:52And now Morgan's got Ronda in trouble.
01:53Brings of Saturn's submission.
01:55Yeah, Liv Morgan trying to turn the tables on Rousey.
01:59Will Ronda tap out?
02:00Rousey able to get her hips underneath her.
02:02It's gonna minimize the pressure applied in this submission.
02:05Morgan now hanging on for dear life.
02:06The power of Ronda Rousey just powering Morgan.
02:09My goodness, for the win and to retain, shoulders down, kick out by Ronda.
02:15Sweet move by Morgan.
02:17It was a massive, massive maneuver by Liv Morgan.
02:21Sort of a crucifix driver high on the back of Rousey's shoulders.
02:25And now Morgan continuing to bring the fight to the challenger.
02:28And Ronda wisely rolling out to the apron and now, arm bar locked in the ropes.
02:31Ronda's got a five count, but the damage could be done.
02:34Has to break, but Liv already favoring her arm.
02:37Rousey realizing if she gets disqualified, this title opportunity goes up in smoke.
02:42Nice takedown.
02:44Lightning quick is Rousey.
02:45Again, Ronda, we're gonna go back to the arm.
02:47The arm bar, her bread and butter for her entire career.
02:50You want a piece of her tonight?
02:51Yeah, you do.
02:54There it is.
02:55Arm bar now center of the ring.
02:56Morgan trying some out of block, but she's in trouble, Corey.
02:59Morgan's in a lot of trouble, shoulders down.
03:00She's gotta get off her shoulders and try to break this hold.
03:03If Rousey doesn't break her arm, Morgan trying now to make it to the bottom rope.
03:07Gets the foot there and we're forced to play.
03:09Wow.
03:11Lady Luck smiling down on Liv Morgan tonight.
03:14And a survival instinct for Morgan the champion, but Liv is in serious pain and
03:19in serious trouble as Rousey attacks the arm.
03:21Again, looking for the arm bar.
03:25That is gotta be it.
03:26Middle of the ring.
03:27Morgan's got nowhere to go.
03:28And Liv has absolutely nowhere to go to Corey's point.
03:31Just a matter of time, perhaps.
03:33Liv, though, able to roll through, trying to make it to the ropes again and again.
03:36Great resilience by the champion.
03:38And perhaps Ronda getting frustrated here.
03:41Yeah, but how much damage is being inflicted on Liv Morgan's arm
03:45every time Rousey locks in the arm bar?
03:48Liv is writhing in pain, the official.
03:50Morgan may very well already have a fractured arm.
03:54Referee Dan Engler, I believe, calling for one of the ringside trainers.
03:58Hey, I'm worried about your arm.
04:00Okay, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, no.
04:07Liv saying, don't you dare ring that bell and call this match off.
04:14But she has one arm, Corey.
04:16Morgan's wrestling Ronda Rousey with one arm.
04:18Liv is a proud champion.
04:20No one will deny that.
04:22And Ronda into the corner, drives Liv through and again,
04:26looking for the arm bar on Morgan.
04:28And how much more of this can Liv Morgan take?
04:30Liv's arm's gonna snap like a twig.
04:32And how much is the official gonna put up with as well?
04:34Morgan is screaming in pain.
04:36Wait a minute, Ronda's shoulders are down.
04:38Liv popped.
04:39Wait a minute, Ronda's shoulders are down.
04:40Liv popped.
04:44The referee, the referee counted three.
04:49Here is your winner and still the SmackDown Women's Champion, Liv Morgan.
04:59Wait a minute, I was looking at the shoulders.
05:01I wanna look at the replay, I was, look at the replay.
05:04You're saying that Liv tapped.
05:06Yes.
05:06Cuz I was looking at the shoulders and it was clearly a three count on Rousey.
05:09Why do you think Ronda released the hold?
05:11She felt the tap.
05:12But did the tap come before the three count?
05:14I think so, I'm gonna need to see this again.
05:17Well, let's look at the replay again, Corey.
05:19Now, there are the shoulders.
05:22Now watch the official.
05:23One, two, three.
05:24So there's a three count, but the more you have though.
05:28Give me a different angle.
05:31This should be pretty clear here.
05:33Now watch Angler.
05:34Dan Angler, now there's one, there's two.
05:36There's a tap before you're right, Corey.
05:38You're exactly right.
05:42Rousey's pissed with good reason.
05:45Oh, the official blew that call.
05:49Liv Morgan is still the champion.
05:51And Ronda Rousey now from behind.
05:53Ronda Rousey is pissed off because she didn't win the championship.
05:57And now she's taking it out on Liv Morgan.
05:58She's gonna break the champion's arm.
06:06Oh, and now it's attacking the referee.
06:08Rousey's gonna be fined or perhaps worse.
06:11Somebody get in there and help the ref.
06:13Ronda Rousey is on a rampage at SummerSlam.
06:17Ronda Rousey is snapped.
06:19I understand Ronda's frustration.
06:21She's got every right to be pissed off about the result.
06:25But this is not the way to handle it.
06:30Morgan's arm might be severely damaged as is Dan Angler, the referee.
06:35Well, the bottom line is Rousey dominated the match.
06:38I don't think there's any doubt.
06:38Ronda Rousey should be SmackDown Women's Champion right now.
06:41I agree, Corey.
06:41I'm not gonna argue with you.
06:42We saw the replay.
06:43Liv Morgan tapped when the referee was at two and a half.
06:46But Morgan's still the champ, the official made the call.
06:51And Ronda Rousey's just ticked off.
06:55We saw it, I mean, the evidence was there.
06:57Yes, Liv Morgan stacked around his shoulders, but not, look at, watch the tap out.
07:01Watch Liv Morgan.
07:03So right here, we thought it was the pin.
07:04This is what I was watching, Corey, the three count.
07:07But you were watching the upper part of the screen.
07:09And at two, the tap happens.
07:11So indeed, Rousey should be the champion.
07:13Ronda got rocked.
07:20See, I don't know what tap out, what I feel like.
07:22And what does this mean for the psyche of the SmackDown Women's Champion?
07:30What does it mean for the psyche of Ronda Rousey who absolutely snapped here tonight?
07:33We've seen the mood Ronda's been in over the past couple of weeks.
07:39You sort of felt something like this coming.
07:41But now tonight, clearly she won the match.
07:43And I get it.
07:45I completely agree that Ravi has every right to feel the way she does.
07:48I don't agree.
07:49Yeah, but you can't attack the champion.
07:50I don't condone the post-match behavior.
07:52Or the official for that matter.
07:55Well, Liv better thank her lucky stars tonight.
08:03We'll see you next time.
